''The 1st release outside Japan by one of the most original & underappreciated composers in contemporary music. Maceda has been creating remarkable compositions for large ensembles of the same instruments for 50 years.'' [Tzadik]

"An important discovery of the original 1974 recording of a Maceda masterpiece! Recorded as 20 channels broadcast simultaneously on all of Manila's radio stations to the population gathered in public spaces with hand-held transistor radios, Ugnayan was...

"Originally born as a side-project of douBt, this new trio led by Tony Bianco (on drums and loops) and Michel Delville (on guitar, bouzouki and live effects) also includes emerging Belgian talent Jordi Grognard on saxophones, bass clarinet and flute...

Surprisingly good, previously unreleased album of California psychedelia from 1969. The singing isn't terrific, but it's ok, but the sun-drenched psychedelic leads are great and it has that vibe! "Monstruous & unreleased at the time heavy/psychedelic...

Newly remastered and expanded version - with four bonus tracks and a huge booklet of photos and liner notes!

"The 1974 follow up to their startling debut Stillpoint is another progressive rock gem, another chapter in the story of one of...

Very nice, early (1970), song-based progressive rock, ala early Wigwam, Junipher Green, Traffic, by this trio of vocals/guitars/piano/organ, bass & drums. Their 4th & final "real" release, this is, "...arguably their best effort, veering in a more...

"It starts in the style of Pink Floyd and remains worth listening to until the end. The very best parts are the long instrumental passages. Although the LP’s title is given in German the language of the songs is English. With Mellotron and flute...

I am not really sure how many of you this will appeal to, but I think that this is a marvelous record. Consisting of originals, but very obviously based on folk forms and melodies, the lineup is: Christian Maes-accordion, Thierry Bruneau-vielle a roue ...

"Without abandoning the sense of melody and dynamics that remain the Magenta trademark, Metamorphosis sees the band taking a darker, more intense path with powerful, sometimes disturbing subject matter. "I think this album is going to surprise a lot of..

One of the greatest, most idiosyncratic & original bands ever. This was their 2nd, & the first where they began to find their own true voice. With a crack line up including Christian Vander, Francis Moze, Teddy Lasry, Francois Cahen, & many more. While...

One of the greatest, most idiosyncratic & original bands ever. This is their amazing recordings in fine sound from Top Gear, featuring the classic line-up, including MONSTER bassist Jannick Top in rare, over the top form. The definitive versions of Khn...

One of the greatest, most idiosyncratic & original bands ever. This is a live recording (of reasonably good quality, given the time-period) featuring the 1001o Centigrade band! [Seventh]
