"The band D.A.T.A. consists of four members of South London musicians, who met a year ago. Through a mutual interest in pushing improvised jazz further, they formed a collective that gave them their own unique voices. The band name D.A.T.A. derives...

“Thirteen years after the debut with “Disorganicorigami”, the Daal publish their 7th studio album: “Daedalus”. After the release of “Decalogue of Darkness” in 2018 (the most successful album), Alfio and Davide met in Roma in 2019 in order to organize the next artistic activity. The Daal musical expression has always been featuring dark themes or descriptions of tough psychological situations. Even if full of literary influences, the musical offer is mostly instrumental. The Daal’s music is personal...

Avant chamber-rock with R.I.O. type leanings and modern production touches and values. Very good stuff from a band who has been doing it their own way for nearly 20 years!

"Four years after their fairly subdued ‘The Shepherd’s Dream’ album, Die..

So, around 1995 or so, there was this really great album on a tiny label of this young band who were obviously well trained classically and who fused pop, eastern-european folk and classical music, with jazz and a punk attitude.
Suddenly in 1998 they reappear as DAAU on SONY Classics (!), with a very good album that included lots of musical guests. Of course *that* didn't last, so they are back on a little label again (their own, I think) for this release which celebrates 25 years of their musical...

This 1981 release was the only album released during the lifetime of this Japanese electronic / ambient cross-genre duo, which consisted of Kenji Konishi (synths, guitars) and Izumi Mutsuhiko (synths, guitar, violin) and has long been unavailable on CD.
Now it's available again at a reasonable price, especially for a Japanese release, as a special blu-spec CD release!

Quite good new release from Goblin keyboardist/mastermind Claudio Simonetti, guitarist Nicola Di Staso (of Real Accademia Di Musica/Libra), bass & drums. This is reworkings of (mostly) Goblin, Keith Emerson & Ennio Morricone pieces that were featured i...

Special! 25% off the regular price, while they last!

Fourth album by Claudio Simonetti's post-Goblin band, who perform much of the classic horror film-score material by Goblin. This is mostly live and adds 3 'bonus' studio tracks, including their..

Great, noisy, spiky electronic music + drums + vocals duo who ended up being very influential 35 years later. This is #1 of the four mentioned below.

"Many things have been said about this band: they were called the godfathers of techno, the pioneers of EBM and the forefathers of electropunk. Yet they only laugh coolly and remain tight-lipped in the face of any attempt to historicize them. Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft better known as DAF is a myth.
What we know is that they released...

"Slam Productions is proud to present the poetry music work of this Anglo- Italian quartet: the very talented Italian poet Erika Dagnino with her ‘beautiful, strong and clear voice' (as Peter Brötzmann, among others, said), the Italian violinist Stefano..

"Collaboration between New York beat poet Steve Dalachinsky and French art-rockers The Snobs. Dalachinsky plays with words like models William Burroughs or Allen Ginsberg did few decades ago: using cut-up and automatic writing, he creates new meanings. Not only a writer, Dalachinsky performs regurarly with free-jazz musicians and friends to give his text a new life. You can see the poet at work, how he breaks the rules of the language to create his own and how he embodies his words to converse with the....

? 5 additional note: Warren told me that the reason for making this CD was to have as many people as possible hear what he was capable of musically, especially musicians, so that he might have more opportunities to play with various other p...

"‘Making Shore’ – the group’s third album - is another winner from Damanek - once again Sean Timms’ production lends a touch of class to the overall sound of this impressive third album. Those who are fans of longer tracks will love ‘Oculus’ which weighs in at over 30, minutes long closing a truly magnificent album.
Guy Manning: Creating ‘Making Shore’ has been a real labour of love. Demos for the pieces were written quite quickly nearly 3 years ago after the European tour, a set of songs in keeping...

This big band (11 pieces here), led by T.S. Heg (alto sax & keyboards) is nominally a 'jazz outfit', but since in addition to lots of reeds, brass, bass and drums, they work with "Sofa Group 96 (guitar, moog and percussion) and Troels Bech (samples and...

Although they only had one released single in their lifetime, they were very popular on the live circuit in their day and Andy Summers’ first professional band (after he left, he briefly joined Soft Machine for their second 1968 tour supporting Hendrix!)

“CD equivalent of Tenth Planet long deleted vinyl release of recordings by the legendary 1967 Brittish ACID-ROCKERS. Contrary to some of the material from the album version, all tracks are from ORIGINAL MASTERS. Has 20 page booklet featuring...

"One of the greatest guitar-heavy psych records in the world, Dark Round the Edges was originally issued in an edition of around 50 copies, mostly for friends, family, and the odd record company. Its reputation has since blossomed into something resembling a redwood, or perhaps an original Van Gogh. This album is the holy grail for lovers of fuzz-driven hard rock, and has been the most sought-after privately pressed LP on the planet.
We've spared no expense to bring you the deluxe reissue of this...

"On “Caravan to the Stars,” Dark Matter Halo (a.k.a. Monte Cimino) teams up with legendary bassist/producer Bill Laswell to create a landscape of warm low-end dub and dark ethereal textures that float towards the heavens. Laswell’s signature bass sound is organically interwoven with Cimino and Sneeringer’s analog and digital textures, ominous droning violins conjured up by Whitley, and pulsating beats created by Laswell and Cimino; resulting in the dynamic interplay of acoustic and digital synthesis that..

“David Janssen is best known for his work as Ted The Loaf in Renaldo & The Loaf. When the band came to a halt in 2006, he concentrated on solo music. The Darkening Scale project was born. It is a purely digital affair created by David in his home studio. This is what David says about the album:
Hydrogen Kaleidoscope, like previous Darkening Scale releases re-examines the material, plus tracks from Secondhand Muon, to make a revised 'best of' version of the two releases. Seems like ancient history to..

"The Darkening Scale is the solo project of David Janssen aka Ted The Loaf of Renaldo & The Loaf. A purely digital affair, DS started in 2006 when RATL was on hold. The Entomology of Sound was the first album and came out as digital file and a very limited CDr. David says about it: "Back in 2006, much to my surprise, I found myself making music again after a long gap. Starting at the bottom of a steep learning curve, The Entomology of Sound was the first result, followed by a couple of other collections...

“For their fourth full length release since the band was formed in 2018, Das Rad has returned to basics with an expanded line up. Following on from two “lockdown” albums where the original trio worked mainly in their own studios, much of the basic tracking for Veer was played live. We also welcome bass guitarist Jon Short to the.

This is a collection of rare material, previously released only on cassette, from the early 80s and which is definitely reminiscent of DEVO's better material from the same period and earlier. As they say: "Excavation of astounding underground post-punk recorded from 1979-1983"

"If there's one thing we've learned from doing reissues for twenty years, it's that there is often a lack of justice in the arts. All too often, the intensely talented are shunted aside, or not able to access the means to..

"They were exciting years, when Miles Davis used to drive through New York in an open sports car listening to Stockhausen's tape manipulations, and when Kraftwerk and Can in Düsseldorf and Cologne developed their own special style of Kraut rock. Experimentation with electronic music, and research into all its possibilities, were very exciting, but could be extremely frustrating too, especially under live conditions. "There were no instructions, no one who could help you to find the different sounds and...

“This is an album I have dreamed of for decades. I've experimented with this kind of sustained harmonic shifting and drone but never come close. This is what organs are built for but very few composers have the courage to explore the unique possibilities they create.”–Stuart Maxwell

“The new Sarah Davachi record is an 80 minute, 17 track double album meditation on impermanence and endings, framed by minimalistic organ études and careful harmonic layering. On two tracks the artist’s own vocals...
