“Full of masterfully cranky improvisational challenges and squabbles forming and resolving in a really unusual sound universe.”

““Don’t follow.”

That’s the admonition saxophonist and composer Roscoe Mitchell (b. 1940) was known to give his students at Oakland’s Mills College in one-on-one sessions. In musical communication and creation, not following or directly...

“Here is one more example of a musical project inspired in literature. Star Splitter, the duo by the multi-instrumentalists Gabriele Mitelli and Rob Mazurek, makes reference to a poem by Robert Frost, in which this author tells the story of Brad McLaughlin, a farmer who failed to produce agricultural income and decided to burn his house to get the...

“This latest project sees Clive covering, in a fully orchestral style, some of progressive rock's greatest tracks; ones that inspired him as teenager, to create something entirely new.
The double album includes the work of some of the best-known artists and some of their best-loved songs, beautifully interpreted, in what we hope will be a series of releases.
This first volume includes tracks by Pink Floyd, Genesis, Rush, Peter Gabriel, Jethro Tull, Mike Oldfield, and Supertramp! It is being...

First time ever CD reissue for a rare, Japanese big band jazz album that has been out of print and rare for 40 years!
Big sound and music that veers widely and wildly between quiet synthy zen contemplation, crazy free-style stuff, and big Gil Evans charts.
IF I understand this release properly, half of this set was headed by keyboardist Shumko Mizuno, who plays keyboards and drums on the fist half and wrote all the music on both sides.
The other half seems to be led by Toshiyuki Miyama's big

"The official reissue of legendary album KI-Motion by Japanese percussionist Midori Takada's MKWAJU Ensemble, originally released in 1981.
A highly creative and transcendental fusion of marimba, vibraphone, bamboo percussion, and synthesizers, KI-Motion was recorded in 1981 and captures the birth of Midori Takada's exploration of minimalism, African rhythmic tradition, and ambient music. The album takes its conceptual inspiration from the tamarind ("mkwaju" in Swahili), a drought resistant tree....

"The Mnemonists were a legendary group of composers and artists from Fort Collins, Colorado, who went on to call themselves Biota. They created drifting hypnotic sound collages out of pre-industrial loops, processed ambient sound, rock 'n' roll guitar, and fragments of half forgotten memory. Their work was highly visual, and always accompanied by beautiful line drawings and painted art works; the total meaning is forged from the combination of sonic and visual information. Gyromancy stands as a classic...

“MobiUS began their musical quest in the summer of 2020. The band is a collective of seasoned session musicians, considered classical performers and radical recording professionals. MobiUS is, however, less of an artistic enigma and more a mosaic of inspirational musical ideas. Tim Newcombe is the creative architect of the music, drawing influences from the likes of Pink Floyd, King Crimson and Camel, whilst seamlessly morphing inspiration from later more contemporary artists such as Frost* or Porcupine...

Bartok was one of THE greatest composers of the last century and his work in adapting and transcribing Eastern European folk music is sublime.

"Anyone who at any time in their life has heard a sensitive performance of a single work by Bartok, can feel that his works have some kind of more or less hidden message. That they are perfect acoustic crystalline structures, is of course what makes him one of the most important composers of all time, but for the listener, what counts, is the primary...

"A very singular chapter in the Amos/It's War Boys/Milk From Cheltenham/Homosexuals history. Directly taken from the original It's War Boys catalog, here is one of the most obscure sonic works of the early 1980s, Modern Shit! First "issued" on tape...

"In Convergence Liberation represents the latest step in saxophonist/ composer/theorist Hafez Modirzadeh’s thirty-year quest to create a seamless exchange between the world’s musical systems. It follows on the heels of his 2012 release Post Chromodal...

“Modney is a composer and violinist based in NYC. Modney is a co-director of the Wet Ink Ensemble and a member of the International Contemporary Ensemble. Ascending Primes” is a double album of Modney’s compositions for solo, trio, quintet, septet, and undectet pursuing transcendence and ecstatic space. Built on the foundation of Modney’s interests in tuning systems and exploring extremes of harmonicity and dissonance, the album convenes prime-numbered ensembles made up of the composer’s peers in the...

M.E. (Blue Effect) were one of the very best Czech progressive bands of the 70s, led by guitarist Radim Hladik, who is still remembered fondly by many. This is the awaited issue of what I consider to be their best album. From 75, this is an all instrumental fusion/progressive oriented work with tasty guitarwork taking the spotlight. Also includes 2 bonus tracks! Start here with this minor classic & work backwards.

M.E. (Blue Effect) were one of the very best Czech progressive bands of the 70s, led by guitarist Radim Hladik, who is still remembered fondly by many. This is their 1st album from '70 & is am early psych/prog Eastern Euro classic. Includes 7 bonus tra...

Surprisingly, this is a legitimate release of a huge rarity from Brazil that goes for huge money, and which, for once, is not only rare, but really good! This is very, very excellent psychedelic/proto-prog material, recorded in 1970 and performed on...

"Dieter Moebius (1944-2015) was one of the most important protagonists of avant-garde electronic music in Germany. He was a founding member of Kluster/Cluster (with Conrad Schnitzer and Hans-Joachim Roedelius) and Harmonia (with Michael Rother and Hans-Joachim Roedelius) and worked with several artists such as Brian Eno, Conny Plank, Mayo Thompson, Hellmut Hattler, Asmus Tietchens, Mani Neumeier, Arno Steffen, Jürgen Engler, Jean Hervé Peron, Zappi Diermaier, and Chris Karrer. In 2012, Dieter Moebius was...

"In 1984, two years after their first album collaboration, Strange Music, Dieter Moebius and Gerd Beerbohm issued their second LP, Double Cut. It bore the same distinctive hallmarks as its predecessor, but this time around, the two musicians had...

"En Route was created in 1986, when the era of analog synths and rhythm machines seemed to be drawing to a close. Drum computers, samplers and digital instruments such as the Synclavier and Fairlight CMS would shape the immediate future of electronic...

This is a really great one, Krautrock fans. Don't miss this, which is somewhat unusual in the oeuvre and one of the late period great ones!

"Dieter Moebius and Conny Plank got to know each other through their work on Cluster's 1971 album and remained close friends until Plank's death in 1987. They made a congenial pair as musicians, as amply demonstrated by their first album as a duo, Rastakraut Pasta, originally released on Sky Records in 1980.

On this album, drums, electric guitars...

One of the great ones from the Moebius axis.

"In 1983, Dieter Moebius (Cluster) and legendary producer Conny Plank teamed up for the third time, resulting in the Zero Set project, originally released on Sky Records. On this occasion, they...
