"In late 2002, Pi Recordings inquired into the possibility of recording the AEOC as a quartet once again with Joseph Jarman back in the fold. With some quartet shows booked in Europe on the horizon, the moment seemed right to bring the remaining members b

"Electronic oratorio for 4 musicians surrounding the public and 5 video sources", I bet this is amazing to experience in the flesh. Less sure of how I feel it works as a CD alone; as has been the case with them for the last 20 years, it gets more...

Great to have this wonderful, classic and important RIO/avant-progressive title back and generally available.

Art Zoyd's early and great works have been unavailable for such a long time that it's too easy to forget what a strikingly original...

"Featuring four young musicians of diverse artistic backgrounds, the Artichaut Orkestra is a fabulous new ensemble out of Toulouse, France. Led by a colleague of the great modern klezmer David Krakauer, they brilliantly mix jazz, klezmer and classical...

The band's fourth album, this is the first time since their self-titled first that you have the trio of Manuel...

The second album by this legendary Krautrock ensemble, remastered by Manuel Göttsching himself!

Their 2nd album came out in 1972, & was quite a bit different from the first, as Klaus Schulze had split. So Manuel & Harmut enlisted some other...

"At long last, the complete Now Eleanor's Idea quartet of operas is available on CD with the release of the final opera in the quartet, also called Now Eleanor's Idea. This release includes a booklet with the libretto and several pages of fantastic...

Or, as that hipster Manuel has it on the cover, @shra...anyway, this is a pretty obscure release and is also a very good one from 1998 that hasn't been available in a long time. Grab it or regret it!

"Following the obscure live document Sauce...

A French-Turkish band that recorded two albums in the late 70's then split. Their sound could be related to a mesh between Snow Goose period Camel, King Crimson type guitarpyrotechnics, and the very french sound of bands like Pulsar and Ange, with some...

This reissues an progessive hard rock album from Sweden from 1971. The keyboardist and guitarist later went on to found the jazz/rock band Lotus. Typically excellent reissue on Mellotronen, taken from the master tapes and including a booklet of notes, ...

Very good second album by these San Franciscans who manage to genuinely sound like it is 1970/1971 at the Filmore West and it's space rock night. Not quite as good as their amazing 3rd album, When Sweet Sleep Returned, it's still really good and if you...

I didn't know much about Gustavo until I saw a clip of a couple of tracks from this CD/DVD set, but he's an amazing, fluid jazz/rock guitarist with a great tone. He can be amazingly fleet, although the music isn't in the Allan Holdsworth style of superfas

While it's pretty certain that Miles kick started the whole electric jazz-jazz/rock movement with In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew in 1969, there were other people working towards the same goals at aproximately the same time, some of them better known...

The long awaited second album by this California spacerock/progressive rock band. What I really like about this is the blend of propulsive Hawkwind drive, the psychedelic exploratory feel and the progressive rock-isms. The band is:..

This new group is an instrumental power prog trio leaping onto the progressive scene. The project is the brainchild of guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Glenn Snelwar. Torn Between Dimensions, the band's debut recording, features Snelwar on guitar, mando...
