J.E.T. were an Italian ‘one and done’ high dollar rarity that often left listeners disappointed after finding (and paying for) one! Why? Because it isn’t a symphonic prog album, instead it’s a progressive hard rock album very much reflecting the good UK progressive hard rock albums of those times (especially Uriah Heep).
If you approach it with the understanding that this is what it is, you’ll really enjoy it.

"This is another one of those early (1972) hidden gems from Italy. For me the....

"If I could use one word to describe the music of the French band Jack Dupon, it would be 'strange'. This is avant progressive rock that lends itself well to the RIO movement. The is music is very difficult to describe and is very eclectic so if you...

A little bit odd, a little bit off-kilter, a little bit humorous and quite a bit off the beaten path is this progressive/odd band that could only have come from France. This is the group's forth release, out in 2013. All tracks are apparently composed...

Jack Dupon is not a person, Jack Dupon is a group. A rather great group from France, keeping the wacky surrealism of early Etron Fou and Gong alive and rockin'.

This is the group's 2nd live album and live is where the group really shine (yes....

This is the group's third album. Fred Frith had this to say about their second album:

"Jack o’the Clock are an unbelievably great band, Damon Waitkus is an extraordinarily courageous composer, and this is some of the freshest and most...

“One of the most original and compelling groups I know playing some amazing compositions that seem to tread effortlessly between Van Dyke Parks and folk music from an as yet unidentified culture, while making all the things you've always thought of as difficult sound as effortless and natural as breathing...Amazing production. Extraordinary compositions. You need to hear it.” – Fred Frith...

The sixth album by JOTC and, well, I keep saying this about each of their releases, but they've really knocked it out of the park with this one. I don't know how to describe something like "Miracle Car Wash" as anything other than...well...miraculous.
If avant-progressive that doesn't sound like any other band playing avant-progressive is your thing, then this is absolutely your thing. Hugely recommended.

"The album 'Saturnalia' by JackOut is the product of three London-based musicians, Gary Curson, Justin Paterson and Margo Sagov, who began to experiment with combining programmed beats and backing tracks with live and real-time playing in a home...

“Van Der Graaf Generator’s David Jackson keeps on ‘trucking’ with percussionist & producer René van Commenée. The album includes a new instrumental recreation and orchestration of 'Pioneers over c' the Van der Graaf Generator (VdGG) classic track from the 1970’s album ‘H to He Who Am The Only One’. Now titled 'Pioneers over c, 2023’ is a homage to that elusive track that was only ever been played live once. It features the virtuoso Colin Edwin on bass (Porcupine Tree).
The two artists have known each..

An unbelievable price on the hard to find Japanese version of this great album!

"This recording is too short but that doesn't mar the fact that this is a true gem! Milt plays brilliantly with all of his heart and he swings like hell on all of the t

Great price on a great album! This is by the 'jazz/jam band and beyond' keyboard, bass, drums trio that don't have anybody in the band named Jacob OR Fred. This is called a 'acoustic album' by their label, but the bassist is running so many boxes off...

"Formed in 1970, JADE WARRIOR were one of the most original British bands to emerge during the Progressive Rock era. The first incarnation of the band featured TONY DUHIG (guitars) and JON FIELD (flutes, percussion), both of whom had been in the psychedelic group JULY, and GLYN HAVARD (bass, vocals).
Signing to Philips’ progressive Vertigo label, the band recorded their self-titled debut album in March 1971. A remarkable work, ‘JADE WARRIOR’ would be the template upon which the band would build their..

“This expanded Esoteric Recordings edition has been newly remastered from the original Vertigo Records master tapes and features an early, previously unreleased version of ‘Telephone Girl’ as a bonus track. It also restores the original album artwork and features a booklet with new essay.”

“Jade Warrior's first album following Tony Duhig and Jon Field's emergence out of the psychedelic July captures them abandoning the best of that band's whimsical moodiness in favor of a symphonic spirituality

"Retaining the spirit of adventure from the band's Vertigo years and the sheer beauty and audacity of their Island albums, NOW eloquently brings Jade Warrior into the 21st Century with an album of beautifully crafted songs and extreme dynamics."...

Jade Warrior were a UK band who released three albums on Vertigo and then the band semi fell apart and all they were left with was a duo of Jon Field (alto/concert/Japanese flutes, organ, piano, percussion) and Tony Duhig (electric and acoustic...

“Medium Rare II is compilation from 2019 containing new material, live recordings, remixes and covers - including the Progressive classics Your Own Special Way and Comfortably Numb - which showcases Jadis at its most relaxed and eclectic.”

Jaga Jazzist are one of the greatest progressive bands, bridging the worlds of rock, electronica/techno, jazz and classical music today. This new live album presents their already huge lineup along with an orchestra on some of their very best works...

As usual, this is an excellent, indefinable release which sounds very modern yet is still very ‘band oriented’, something which is no longer considered a modern concept. Sadly. Great melodies, as always!
Personally highly recommended.

“Jaga Jazzist return with their new album where the legendary Norwegian eight-piece takes a deep dive into post-rock, jazz and psychedelia influences. It’s their first album since 2015’s “Starfire”, their ninth album in a career now spanning four decades...

Young Brooklyn band based around the voice and acoustic piano of Mali Sastri, but also includes acoustic bass and drums. Singer song-writer? Yes, but pretty weird singer-songwriter stuff, with influences from jazz and maybe world music and definitely...

“Nearly 50 years after its original release on the Chilean label IRT, here is the iconic CD issue of this album that includes the anthems 'Todos Juntos' and 'Mira Niñita.'
Original master tapes have been used for this reissue, following the reels find at the IRT vaults. State of the art technology has also been used to guarantee a top-quality remastered sound that shows music details barely noticeable in the original pressing.
The artwork restoration process has been undertaken by Martín Uribe..

Available again after going out of print shortly after its release - don't let it get away from you again! A very good album of songs of varying moods by guitarist/vocalist Jakko, who has operated on the edge of the Canterbury scene for years. His own...

“With a number of traditional Korean instruments being played you might expect some parochial World Music. And that's what you get to start with to lull you into a false sense of security. Then mayhem breaks out in a God Speed You Black Emperor sort of fashion, but with much heavier drums. A stunning noise that sounds very fresh, blending post rock sounds with a generous dose of traditional Korean instruments. Those two elements are combined seamlessly, constantly creating images of wild nature to the...
