One of the stone classics of Krautrock and Kosmiche Musik, reissued for the very first time on CD and on vinyl from the original analog masters!

The Cosmic Jokers grew out of the marathon, LSD-rich sessions instigated by Rolf-Urich Kaiser (Kosmiche Musik/Cosmic Couriers) and Timothy Leary that also produced Ash Ra Tempel's "Seven Up".
What this is, essentially, is a 'kraut-rock super session', with Jurgen Dollase, Harald Gosskopf, Manuel Gotsching, Klaus Schulze and Dieter Dierks. So, a...

These are very, very rare, very small run, independently released albums from the free jazz/spiritual jazz Boston mid 70s underground. "Here, Michael Cosmic's Peace In The World and Phill Musra Group's Creator Spaces, packaged as a triple CD featuring unreleased music by The Phill Musra Group and World's Experience Orchestra. Also includes extensive liner notes featuring rare photos and much more. Free improvisation, first touched on by messengers like John Coltrane, Sun Ra and Albert Ayler, gives us...

“What about this Cosmofonia Rudimentale? Well, we have here a group of friends who liked to improvise together around 2010 in studio and on stage. The “excuse” was to create a music that could accompany futurist poetry. Roberto Zanisi is a polymorphous musician playing a lot of ethnic string instruments who collaborated...

This is a partial re-recording, remix and re-release of Cosmograf's second album. Led by Robin Armstrong, Cosmograf is one of the stars of the new British prog scene, who cites Steven Wilson, Roger Waters, and David Gilmour among his inspirations.
"Originally launched in 2011 on F2 Records,to critical acclaim, the concept album with its theme centering on the ageing process has been out of print for some time. Armstrong says: “It’s considered by many to be a seminal work in the Cosmograf catalogue...

While anyone who has heard Cuneiform's release by this great jazz quartet can attest, there's no way that they came out of nowhere with such a tight developed sound! However, in listening to these earlier albums, it still sounds like them and all their...

“...’My music made of colours, in the refuge of the past... I am just a dolphin, diving into a sound'... (frammenti)
Why Fragments? Because life itself is made up of fragments, stolen from time or from our daily life...but the album tells us about other fragments: it takes shape and substance during a historical period that changed us forever and deeply; a period made up of everyday life forcedly caged and inevitably exploded into a thousand fragments. Fragments from the present or immortalized in...

"In just a few years, Portuguese drummer Mário Costa became a serious case of success in the international jazz scene. We noticed him first playing in two key records to understand the rich reality of creative jazz in Portugal, “Nebulosa” and “Partícula”, as a member of the band lead by Hugo Carvalhais. In the second of these albums, the soprano...

This is a really good collaboration from hugely talented folks who you would not expect to work together, but, actually, if you think about it, make total sense to work together.

"Musicians separated by age, style, and demographic, Elvis Costello and the Roots are nevertheless natural collaborators bound by wide taste, insatiable appetite, and fathomless record collections. This is particularly true of Roots drummer/de facto bandleader ?uestlove, the musical omnivore who is the band's most...

Cote with Jean Derome, Normand Guilbeault & Martin Tetrault. "A quartet born of hair-covered brawn & primeval sinew. Casting our thinking about music back 100,000 years, perhaps to it's very birth, to those first true pioneering musical experimenters, ...

With Michel F Ct, we never know what to expect! This time, his new project is nothing less than a gunfight at the OK Corral, and no one knows who, between country or actuelle music, will walk away the winnerFlat fourgonnette (Mescal free style) (that ...

“Although the titles are all familiar (most of them a little too much so), Cotton and his all-star cohorts (guitarists Jimmie Vaughan, Matt Murphy, Luther Tucker, Hubert Sumlin, and Wayne Bennett, with the omnipresent Perkins on keys) pull the whole thing off beautifully. Cotton's cover of Wolf's "Moanin' at Midnight" is remarkably eerie in its own right, and he romps through Muddy Waters' "Blow Wind Blow" and "Sugar Sweet" with joyous alacrity.”-AllMusic

Somewhere between The Fucking Champs and Canvas Solaris lie Coulier " Somewhere in between grindcore and cock rock, irony and sincerity, brute strength and smart-ass charm, lies Coulier. After a year and a half of line-up changes and a significant...

Sylvie Courvoisier - piano

Cory Smythe - piano

“Sylvie Courvoisier is often viewed as a jazz pianist because her oeuvre is so fundamentally grounded in her profound skills as an improvisor. However, astute listeners realize quickly that she brings the touch and outlook of classical pianism to her work and indeed, the music of Messiaen, Bach, Ligeti and Stravinsky lie deep in her musical memory bank alongside Monk, Mengelberg, Bley and Taylor.
Sylvie spent ten years creating and...

In September 2015, they recorded the fully improvised pieces for this album. The album's track sequencing of first four whole group pieces followed by five duo pieces offer multifaced aural impressions and a rich listening experience.
