Monika H. is Monika Heidemann, a young, up 'n' coming jazz and new music vocalist from NYC who "twists together jazz sensibility, improvisation, catchy pop melodies, the grind of rock n’ roll and enough subconscious creativity to still question where h...

"Bruce Haack's 'Haackula' is the record you've dreamt of and the stuff of nightmares. Deemed to be too dark and offensive for release when it was recorded in 1978 and bootlegged ever since, this is the first official release of Haackula. Haack's anger...

First-ever legit release of this electronic music (Moog) album released in 1970 on Columbia. I've known about it for years and had seen copies here and there in collections and for sale for large sums of money, but this is the first time I ever got a...

A record I have heard great things about for many years, but have never seen or heard until now, this 1972 album, originally on Island, was their sole release. I believe that some/all of these musicians backed up Richard and Linda Thompson when they...


"First official CD-release of mysterious one-off project, co-led by 3 US expatriots living in Munich, Germany: Keyboardist Jimmy Jackson, drummer George Green and Guitarist William Powell. Major point of interest for most progressive and psychedelic...

1981 was a bad year for music. Even the energy and anger of punk had pretty much given away to 'new wave' and 'new wave pop'. So, what is a old school, art-rock guy like Steve gonna do? He dumps his band, he keeps the keyboardist, adds guests here and...

2005 remaster with bonus tracks and new liner notes. "Remastered this year at Steve Hackett's MAP studios by engineer Benedict Fenner, in direct collaboration with Steve. Packaged in a jewel-case surrounded by a card slip-case featuring the original co...

"Here's a nice collection of music. Steve Hackett, erstwhile lead guitarist of 70's era Genesis, has pulled together material (some previously available, some not) from the mid-1980s. Following the one album and one tour of GTR (the prog super-group...

No matter how many great albums he makes and what styles he works with (and Steve has made a lot of fine albums in a surprising number of styles), he will always be best known for his extraordinary work with Genesis in the very early to mid 70s...

The follow up to Cured was definitely an improvement if for no other reason than the fact that there was a real drummer on board (Ian Mosely, formerly of Darryl Way's Wolf) and the album was less slanted towards early 80s pop. There's some really good...

Still one of the great, distinctive and emotive guitarists of progressive rock, this set was recorded during his extensive world tour of 2009-2010. His band is really great; they aren't just 'the guys behind the superstar', but are notable on their...

"Hackett hops back and forth between the classical music and progressive rock worlds, and has had hit and misses in both. Happily, this is one of his most diverse and atmospheric classical accomplishments. Even fans who prefer his progressive work...

This is a new studio release (with bonus) from guitarist/composer Steve, which was delayed by legal machinations having to do with his divorce (hence the title). This features some unusual and special guests: Chris Squire and Anthony Phillips! While...

"Recorded at the end of Hackett's 1994 Italian tour, this is a live document of one of his classical guitar performances. Those who liked his releases Bay of Kings, Momentum, and A Midsummer Night's Dream will want to seek this out as well. Hackett...

The first new studio album by the great ex-Genesis guitarist in 4-5 years. You probably will not be surprised (and hopefully not dissapointed either) that nothing on here sounds particularly like Genesis or even Voyage of the Acolyte, but his recent mu...

2005 remaster with bonus tracks and new liner notes. Classic first solo album by guitarist Steve, recorded while he was still a integral member of Genesis. Steve turns in strong performances on guitars, mellotron, harmonium and vocals, and is joined by...

"For almost 40 years now, Steve Hackett has been one of the most innovative artists on acoustic and electric guitar. His technique came to be known as landmark in the musical business and influenced rock giants like the original Genesis formation...

Latest solo album from Haco, this is a remix of the Japanese only version released in 1999. This has Hacos vocals & keyboards, plus Pierre Bastien, Peter Hollinger, Imahori Tsuneo (Tipographica), and many other Japanese musicians, this album features a...

The ex-leader of After Dinner's fourth solo album, this is released only in Japan. Includes a translation of the lyrics and comes in a nice mini-lp sleeve-style package. The music is her usual pastel-colored style that belongs only to her, combined...

Charismatic singer, lyricist and performer Haco came to the fore in the early 80s with the group After Dinner, a sublime incarnation of surreal, direct, and offbeat Japanese/European pop. They featured astonishing swathes of ambient sound, over which H...

Brilliant, beautifully musical and electrifyingly political work from Charlie Haden and the Liberation Music Ensemble, spurred on by the events in Central America under the Regan era. As it says on the back "No to U.S. intervention...our only crime is...

I have long had the two Old and New Dreams albums collected here as well as the trio with Geri Allen and Paul Motian, and all of those three are winners. Is there anyone else quite like Charlie? I don't think so.

Amazing price on this great release of Arabic music with a interesting and ultimately sad story as the music is dissapearing as the community that supported it has dissapeared.

Hahn was the guitarist with John Handy's acclaimed group of 1964/65, which was kinda ahead of it's time in it's stretched out pieces and faint electric touches (Hahn's guitar and violinist Michael White's work). Michael White also appears on this 1967...

Second and final Hail album. This time, Bob Drake and Susanne Lewis are joined by some guests: Dave Kerman, Chris Cutler, Bill Gilonis. [ReR]

A classic of its kind and long out of print, these are some of the very last copies in existence, which we bought directly from Kip Hanrahan.

Kenny Hakansson was the great guitarist with Baby Grandmothers, Bo Hansson and Kebnekajse, among others. Right around the time that Kebnekajse was winding down for the 1st time (they've since returned stornger than ever with two new albums!), Kenny...

This 1995 release is Swedish legendary guitarist Kenny's 3rd solo album. Kenny is best known for providing the guitarwork on the classic era Bo Hansson albums, as well as being the original guitarist in one of the earliest Swedish psychedelic bands...







This is the second release by masterful Dutch fusion guitarist Richard Hellebeek, who you should know from keyboardist Lalle Larsson's tremendously great, last album Nightscapes.

Nearly 10 years ago, Richard made his first solo album, which...



H-Alpha is a NYC/downtown all-star trio of Briggan Krauss-baritone and alto sax, Ikue Mori-laptop, Jim Black-drums and percussion. All three of these musicians have numerous interesting/great/teriffic projects under their own names or in association

A modern string quartet who recorded this album in 1998, they have some personnel ties to Julverne, as well as to the legendary Flemish folk groups Rum and Madou. This is mostly self-written (by Jeannot Gillis) modern material. [Igloo]

Mary Halvorson, guitar / Jonathan Finlayson, trumpet / Jon Irabagon, alto saxophone / John Hébert, bass / Ches Smith, drums.

Mary's back with her big guitar and her great band for a second album with her fine quintet.

Bending Bridges..

This record has gotten a lot of critical acclaim and it deserves it, as the group and Mary have a unique guitar-trio sound. My only caveat about the press is that everyone talks about how 'out' this is and maybe I'm just getting old and obscure, but it...

"Saturn Sings is guitarist/composer Mary Halvorson’s highly anticipated follow-up to her acclaimed 2008 debut, Dragon’s Head. It documents a new book of music written for her latest ensemble, the Mary Halvorson Quintet, which adds fellow New Yorkers....
