François Couturier: piano
"François Couturier’s solo excursion “Un jour si blanc” is conceived by its maker as the second volume in a planned trilogy, and an extension of the earlier quartet disc “Nostalghia”, dedicated to filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky.

“Lol Coxhill was an English free improvising saxophonist and raconteur. He played the soprano or sopranino saxophone. In the late 1960s and early 1970s, he was a member of Canterbury scene bands Carol Grimes and Delivery and then Kevin Ayers and the Whole World. He became known for his solo playing and for work in duets with pianist Steve Miller and guitarist G. F. Fitzgerald. Coxhill collaborated with other musicians including Mike Oldfield, Morgan Fisher, Chris McGregor's Brotherhood of Breath and its...

“The CD "Life Is Almost Wonderful" was only sold at concerts by the duo they played together back in 2002 in Belgium and Netherlands. If they had set out to be invisible, Coyne and Croker couldn't have planned it much better. But they were two artists not bothered about record company deals, distribution and other practical matters. Never mind, the main thing is this marvellous acoustic album.
Although "recorded by post" (Croker sent the basic guitar tracks and Kevin improvised the lyrics on top)...

“The Kevin Coyne Band live in Bremen on August 18, 1975. The recording presents the third edition of the Coyne Band, among others with guitarist Andy Summers (The Police) and pianist Zoot Money (Animals, Eric Burdon, Mick Taylor, Humble Pie). Kevin Coyne at an early climax of his long and eventful career with now classic songs from his enormously extensive artistic legacy. Acclaimed by critics as a great blues and rock voice from England, Kevin Coyne was one of the singer-songwriters who sang dark themes...

“Crackology contains all new recordings of 13 songs that span the over 40 year career of the band, and the first time it has been available on CD.
Living In Reverse is 12 new genre-defying tunes from the group and a reissue of the 2018 CD.”

Brand new release from these American prog/hard rock stalwarts, and cheerful and optimistic it most certainly is not. This features 4/5ths of the original lineup, with John Palumbo, Rick Witkowski, Joey D'Amico and Joe Macre all appearing.

“In 1976 Rolling Stone called prog-rock pioneers Crack The Sky “one of year’s most impressive debuts.” Today, 40+ years later, the band releases a new studio album entitled Tribes, due out early 2021. The title track speaks volumes about modern society’s perpetual cultural divide, wherein each side believes its inalienable right to champion the only opinion that matters.
Named by Rolling Stone in their 2015 list of 50 Greatest Prog Rock Albums Of All Time and in Twenty 1970’s Albums Rolling Stone...

Here’s the deal: SOMEHOW I stumbled upon this excellent electronic music ensemble’s first release, the 12” EP ‘Netherfield Works’, which we stock and about which I said, “This is over 30' of music by a great electronic ensemble I never heard of before!
The first side is cyclical, hypnotic electronics with an early sound ala Delia Gonzalez & Gavin Russom. The second side adds drums and bass tones and operates more in a Neu! / Circle motorik + ....

"Standers is the second full-length album by Craven Faults. It follows a trilogy of long sold out EPs, 2020’s Erratics & Unconformities LP, the Enclosures mini-album and a series of studio performances entitled Live Works.

Meticulously curated, each release moves the Craven Faults story forward. Each one a self-contained analogue electronic journey across northern Britain, viewed through the lens of a century in popular music. Studios, venues and movements. Technology and ingenuity. Vibrations. L

"Acclaimed pianist Gwilym Simcock follows a sustained period of touring with legendary guitarist Pat Metheny with a brand new collaborative project. Combining Simcock's formidable skills in composition, arrangement and improvisation with the lyrics and melodies of Welsh/Bajan singer-songwriter Kizzy Crawford and an ensemble drawn from leading Welsh chamber orchestra Sinfonia Cymru, Birdsong tells a story through music inspired by Carngafallt. Carngafallt is part of the Welsh rainforest territory and home...

Note that Jon Poole, Bob Leith and Bic Hayes are all ex-Cardiacs and Damo Waters is ex-Spratleys Japs!

"An absolutely superb new album from one of the UK's most underrated mavericks. Imagine Robert Wyatt, High Llamas, Roy Wood, Jeff Lynne, and Todd Rundgren all in one magnificent human. That's Crayola Lectern. Superb arrangements throughout, and in common with all the above I suppose, a sense of adventure and playfulness is evident throughout. One of my favourites of the year so far"...

Really crazed, over the top, UK theatrical, proto-progressive band who are remembered here in the USA for their one and only hit, "Fire" (heard here!), and who are remembered in the UK for their utterly outrageous live shows. The band was bound to...

CD 1-2: Grande Ballroom, Detroit, MA - October 15 1967
CD 3: Konserhuset, Stockholm, Sweden - November 14, 1967
CD 4: Sports Arena, San Diego, CA October 20, 1968

All the CDs except #3 have extremely good sound for live and loud rock concerts from 55 years ago.

“This is an entertaining collection of outtakes, alternate takes, and odd mixes from the period when Cream was recording its debut album, FRESH CREAM...this is a fascinating glimpse of the genesis of a great band.”-AllMusic

“A CD with eleven tracks, all of which are Cream studio or rehearsal out-takes of early version of the songs. Far more than there are on the 'Those Were The Days' box set, these are just as interesting. The whole thing is just less then 30 minutes long, but if you're a Cream...

Surprisingly very aok sound for unreleased 50 year old recordings. Fans will spooge; based on how short the tunes are, I think this is mis-labeled and it actually from 1967. In any case, it's a good performance and very succinct, based on what came later.
"Cream, live at the Winterland in 1968. Regarded by some as the finest live document of the trio in existence, it typifies their explosive chemistry. This show features the hits Tales Of Brave Ulysses, Crossroads, Traintime and many more."

“The first album in 40 years from this legendary dub act, who were the original On-U house band and responsible for classics such as Dub from Creation and Starship Africa. The trio of Crucial Tony, Eskimo Fox and Magoo are back with producer Adrian Sherwood to create a modern spin on their heavyweight dubwise rhythms."

“Creation Rebel have created a great legacy. Their records inspired a legion of dubheads and they were foundational in the formation of the On-U Sound and Ruff Cut labels, not to...

These two guys left a hugely successful pop band (10cc) at the peak of their success to invent an ahead of its time music instrument device and to make a ahead of its time concept recording about ecological breakdown taking its revenge on mankind!
