After the dissolution of the classic one and done band Celeste, keyboardist Ciro Perrino formed St. Tropez, who never released anything at the time, and by 1979, he was leading La Compagnia Digitale, who featured 3 members from San Tropez, and who also never..

First-ever CD release!

“Amazing modal jazz session with a deep warm vibe to it and awesome mellow electric piano. Such a great lost gem!”

"This one sort of straddles the line between electric modal jazz and early jazz-rock/fusion styles. But unlike many albums of this ilk from the early 70s US jazz scene, this lacks any of the free and freaky elements that were in vogue at the time. Instead, it embraces a more reserved and melodic sound, reminiscent of certain "brit-jazz" works that were..

Classic, DARK freak folk release from 1971 that didn't sound like anything else in the air at that time (and still doesn't). This also includes their very rare, non-lp EP of the same time.

"If you're lucky, very very occasionally, an album comes along which completely blows you away, and you know it will be with you for life. It goes on heavy heavy rotation, and your life BECOMES the album for a while, and you know you'll never be quite the same again. Many strange threads coincided which...

"Originally released 1979 on Reveal, Concept's 1st album Invasion is truly a highlight of Canadian psychedelic and acid rock. Its undoubted relevance to connoisseurs of psychedelic and acid rock finds valid in the group's multiple talents playing music...

"Originally released 1980 on Reveal, Concept's 2nd album Supra Surge is not only the band's masterpiece but generally a masterpiece of psychedelic and acid rock. Hard to believe, but the recording date was in 1980. This could be a lost Amon Düül II...

"By this time, the usual listeners of the Clean Feed catalogue are familiar with the name of the late Portuguese pianist and composer Bernardo Sassetti – the Lisbon-based label released five records with his name. Among those listeners, many musicians from other countries admire his exquisite and very personal writing and his astonishing work with the black

"If you thought you heard the last from Stratos...you were wrong...this is a great CD that mixes prog elements and experimentation with no wave/punk rock ...and then adds a legendary Italian Rock singer (Demetrio Stratos) for good measure.
By using tapes from a producer friend who had taped one of Stratos' last concerts as a solo artist, the guys in the quartet found a new muse for their punky yet experimental misbehaviors.
A great, fun listen! They even do a cover of Area's Cometa Rosa!"

"Often beautiful and breezy folk rock with quite a few progressive tendencies. A nice debut by one of my favourite South American bands. Recommended!"-rym

"6th CD in studio for CONQUEROR 5 years after the last STEMS. The band returns to the classical 5-piece lineup (with wind instruments), it is part of the line up Tino Nastasi on guitar (already in the 2nd and 3rd disc). "In Orbita" is a very troubled record in its writing, which started at the end of 2014 and continued until 2017, right at the beginning of the final recordings. Great classic Prog close to the classic sounds of Canterbury Sound. The band deals with the early stages of Juri Gagarin's life...

"Ten Years Alive On The Infinite Plain is the quintessential work of artist/filmmaker/composer Tony Conrad. Comprised of both film installation and minimalist score for amplified strings, Ten Years leaps across genre and medium to connect his revolutionary structural filmmaking with the experiments in long-duration sound that Conrad had begun in the 1960s as part of the Theatre of Eternal Music. 'Ten Years began with image before sound,' writes Andrew Lampert, 'a row of quadruple projections arranged...

The minimal masterpiece and always the rarest Faust artifact from the 70s. A fantastic work. Hugely recommended to fans of minimalism.

"Violinist, composer and filmmaker Tony Conrad started his career in New York in the early 1960s. As a member of the Theater of Eternal Music (a.k.a. the Dream Syndicate) alongside John Cale, La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela and Angus MacLise, he participated in now-legendary and often legendarily loud drone performances with many pieces having no beginning and no...

This is the second album by a Chicago retro acid-folky, whose excellent first album was referred to as “… an acid folk, psychedelic gem that resonates with an early seventies vibe and features a collection of tunes that are memorable, beautifully arranged and played with a passion and beauty that seeps deep within.” This new one is its equal!
This is mostly acoustic based, dreamy folk-psych with gentle male/female singing, acoustic guitars, flutes, Mellotron, piano, tabla, mandolin, sitar, bass and...

This is a compilation from this Swedish band's 2nd and 3rd albums. "Contact received surprisingly little recognition for their innovative albums. Hun Kom Over Mon (2nd album) marked a transition in style, introducing Swedish lyrics and extensive use of...

Contraction's second LP, entitled 'La Bourse ou La Vie' (Your money or Your Life), was released in 1974 and dedicated to Dervieux. Their sophomore effort continues in a similar vein, again featuring themes taken from Dimension M", such as Dervieux's...

A real surprise to find a 35 year old, excellent sound quality live concert recording from this short-lived but excellent band.

"Controlled Bleeding announces its first proper studio album since 2002. Larva Lumps & Baby Bumps is a startling record: it flawlessly mixes industrial noise and prog rock into a beautifully stream-of-conscious work that is at once fairly brutal and lovingly serene. Features engineering by Martin Bisi (Swans, White Zombie, John Zorn) and a cover painting by Gregory Jacobsen (Lovely Little Girls)."

Great Canadian intricate, guitar-based music that is heavily influenced by folk music, as well as the Quebecois progressive scene at the time (this was released in 1977). Unavailable for years, then reissued on lp, then deleted, then reissued on CD, th...

I had never heard the amazing story of Connie Converse before this release, but there's a recounting on Wiki and it is basically the same as below, only longer. What a story!

"Connie Converse was a remarkable composer who worked in the 1950s and 1960s. By 1974, depressed over her lack of recognition and success, she packed up her belongings and drove off never to be heard of again. Little known in her lifetime, she is now viewed as a pioneer of the modern singer/songwriter genre. This exciting.....

“Mike Cooper wrote his final songwriter record, a suite of gloaming rock anthems performed with a spiritual jazz trio, while living on the Costa Tropical of Granada, Spain, an era when he was considering retiring from music altogether.

“Right from the start, it was not meant to be a one-off side project but the beginning of something truly unique and exciting. Their first live album 'Gizmodrome Live', builds on the foundation laid by the band's debut album and allows for even more unpredictable outbursts of creative energy. It perfectly captures their commitment to this band and the pioneering collaboration.
