So great to see this little-known but quite excellent 'one and done' Dutch band, who were somewhere between progressive rock and jazz/rock, get a 'deluxe and delightful', tip-on mini-lp sleeve, carefully remastered from the master tapes, first-ever CD...

Brand new, 2012 release from one of the very best space rock bands currently extant! Those 'in the know' know how good these guys are, but the larger spacerock/progressive rock community really doesn't, which is a real shame, because these guys are...

Hot on the heels of their excellent performance at NEARFest 2004 comes the 3rd (?) release by this Finnish spacerock band, which is housed in a really nice and clever cardboard art-sleeve (be careful opening it so you don't hurt it!). Dual guitars, key...

This is the first album by the now well-appreciated spacerock boys from Finland. Recorded between 1999-2001, this features dual guitars, Fender Rhodes piano and synthesizers, bass and drums. A cross between the Ozrics, The Spacious Mind, Hawkwind and...

2008 release from the Hidria's which was recorded live at the Burg Herzburg Festival in Germany on July 23, 2006. This features dual guitars, keyboards and synthesizers, bass and drums. The sound rocks a little harder than before, perhaps, but it's...

Makigami Koichi is one of Japan's most popular underground performers and this follows the journeys of his remarkable rock/pop band Hikashu through over twenty-five years of musical mayhem. From techno (before the Yellow Magic Orchestra) to noise/samp...


This is the fairly amazingly powerful and over-the-top release by the fairly amazing drummer Zach Hill, who is also one half of the shred/progressive/noise duo Hella. This has a large number of big names from the underground, such as Marnie Stern...

Gong's guitar-star recorded this very fine, Gong-influenced album in 1975. It features an all-star cast: Dave Stewart-organ, piano, Mike Howlett-bass, Pierre Moerlin-drums, Tim Blake-synths, Didier Malherbe-saxes & flute, Miquette Giraudy-voice and...

This was Steve's last album for Virgin and was originally released as a double album. It finds him caught between his guitar-oriented music and the tecno-electronica that he would start heading towards. This was originally a double album with one disc...

1978 solo album by the former lead guitarist of Gong during their classic early/mid 70's peak, this was his fourth solo. This was produced by, and features some drumming by Nick Mason. Not his best solo, but it defintely has some excellent moments. [Vi...

This was Steve's fourth solo album and the last of the relatively big-budget albums when Virgin was still (sorta) trying to push him into being a big guitar-star. I can still see the copies with the sticker proudly proclaiming "Green Viny!" in the...

This was Hillage's 2nd solo album and his first after leaving Gong. There was a big push to make him a progressive rock star with this album; the album was produced by Todd Rundgren and the band is basically Hillage, Miquette Giraudy, Don Cherry (!!!)...

"Talk to any connoisseur of '70s-era double live albums, and many will agree that Steve Hillage's Live Herald, recorded and released in 1977-1978, rates among the finest jewels that the genre has to offer. So it's astonishing to discover that someone...

At the 2006 GongUncon there was a real sense of expectation in the air, as Steve Hillage appeared for the first time playing guitar and fronting a rock band in nearly 30 years! Here is there set in excellent sound. Steve performs a fine set of some of...

Even though Virgin had given up on Steve becoming the big star they wanted him to be by the time this was released in 1979, this excellent live album recorded on his 1978 tour was still a great album. This was originally 3 live sides and 1 studio side....

Unbelievable killer price on this CD/DVD set. Previously we had 100 copies of this and they shot out of here. Now we have received the final stock at this totally insane price and the price is even lower! Highly, highly recommended!...

This was Steve Hillage's 3rd solo album. Virgin was still trying to make Steve a star and it continues musicially in the same vein as L, except this time he's got his own band instead of Todd Rundgren's Utopia to back him up. Features Light in the Sky...

The last of Hillage's albums to strictly feature his progressive rock/post Gong sound. This includes the studio tracks that were left off of the new version of Live Herald, as well as two additonal tracks.

Hillage's sixth album caught a lot of people by surprise after all his work as a guitar-star, but in hindsight it fits right into his post-guitar musical world, where he found much fame in the early techno/electronica world. A very nice, low-key album...

This is the debut album by this Swedish trio reissued on CD for the first time after the vinyl edition sold out. It also includes two bonus tracks not found on the vinyl. This is a really nice album of spacey krautrock; I hear elements of Neu! mixed...

Excellent, heavy Swedish spacerock/stoner-rock/psych trio. Their first was on Sulatron and now they've moved to Transubstans and they've turned up the electricity and heat. Simple, but very effective, trancey/psych music made with guitars, organ, bass...

A 2007 release by one of the great songwriters and lyricists of our time, up there with Peter Blegvad, but much more prolific. "Viva Seattle Tacoma, Viva Viva Viva Sea-Tac; They've got the best computers and coffee and smack!"

Very good, modern big band album. In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida works much better than you would think!

"A composer who writes a 16-minute big-band piece based on "In-a-Gadda-da-Vida" isn't going for subtlety — but then, he probably wouldn't appear nude...
