Hearing Dorthy sing again, 55 years later, is like hearing from an old friend you haven’t seen in decades!

“An amazing and unexpected return from the magical voice of The United States of America. This album reminds me of many different things all at once without sounding exactly like any one: Nico, Marianne Faithful, Robert Wyatt, and Dorothy's own past work. Total chill-out music of the highest order and of high art. I can listen to this on auto-repeat for literally hours. I've already turned...

Their first coincidental meeting happend at the bar Rodan in Chicago in 2008, where Parker, Herndon and Abrams played every tuesday night for years. Bass player Ingebrigt Håker Flaten brought Kjetil Møster who was touring with electro-rockers DATAROCK at the moment...

“In April 2022 Mostly Autumn were given the amazing opportunity to have two days in Abbey Road studios by York St John University. This recording is the result.
Bryan Josh says: - “Unloading our equipment into Abbey Road - Studio 2 was like some untouchable dream you had as a child but were now part of. With the giants of music breathing down our necks and all those classic songs still ghosting in the walls, we set the band up together with a string quartet to record a live performance. There was...

“The group that has always straddled the broad and fuzzy line between tradition and chaotic improvisation, has nevertheless managed that process with a mixture of sophistication, revelation and unbridled enthusiasm.” – Karl Ackermann, All About Jazz

"Over the past thirteen years, MOPDtK, led by bassist/composer Moppa Elliott, has earned a place at the forefront of jazz and improvised music, performing in a style that is at once rooted in the jazz tradition and highly improvised and unstructured...

This 2004 release is the debut by this very young and fairly extraordinary group. The group consists of Peter Evans-trumpet, John Irabagon-saxes, Moppa Elliot-bass and Kevin Shea-drums. All the players are pretty great - the rhythm section is...

"The third album of the German psychedelic/prog rock band Mother Engine is a real unique piece of music, which, on one hand, used to be a concept album to show the evolution of the "Mother Engine" in their fictive story of the spaceship of the same name and its crew, and on the other, as the evolution of the musicians themselves in songwriting and DIY recording and production processes to really get inside of the implementation of their imagination. The album Hangar was made in a very ornate and...

“A laid back mix of spoken word poetry from Gilli Smyth and jazzy, classic Gong textures, vignettes and humor. A lot of sax, chilled out synth and glissando guitar on this one. Overall a relaxing and artistic effort that will soothe and inspire if you approach it with an open mind. A work of art and one of the best post-70s Gong-affiliated releases I've heard.”–rym

This is, in a way, the 'lost' third album by MMPMC, from when Dave became the sole composer and was compositionally heading towards his big opus, The Continuing Story Of Counterpoint. Recordings from this period of the band's life - their last 2 years or so - have not previously been released before this.

"A leading force in the roots of minimalism, Mother Mallard began in 1968 as a pioneering group using Moog's prototype synthesizers in live performance. These unique instruments led David Borden..

“Digitally remastered and expanded three CD set. Consider this the Uncle Meat deluxe edition! You get the original 1969 vinyl album mix restored and remastered on CD for the first time, plus loads upon loads of vault tracks from the studio and a few from the stage. But the real gems are the unreleased mix outtakes of "Zolar Czackl," "Electric Aunt Jemima," "Mr. Green Genes" and "Dog Breath Variations;" the single stereo version of "Dog Breath;" multiple variations of "King Kong;" the normal speed guitar...

“The combination of Paul Motian and Charlie Haden was always a guarantee for magical improvisational interaction, and there is much of it in this attractive line-up with the twinned guitars of Sam Brown and Paul Metzke and Carlos Ward’s alto sax.
Motian and Haden had previously collaborated with Brown on Keith Jarrett’s Expectations album and on Carla Bley’s Escalator Over The Hill, and the bassist and drummer had also worked with Carlos Ward on Don Cherry’s Relativity Suite.
Paul Metzke joined.

"When you have a band mainly formed by Scandinavian musicians, natural is to find that they played, or play, with the top names of Nordic jazz, people like Jan Garbarek, Terje Rypdal, Bugge Wesseltoft, Sidsel Endresen, Trygve Seim and Bobo Stenson. But the members of Motif have a relevance which surpasses

First release from this excellent instrumental Japanese power trio. They are one of the best of the current Japanese rock bands, combining various experimental rock styles in a entertaining and engaging manner. Recommended! [Tzadik]

"Angels And Daemons At Play is the fourth installment in the ongoing Motorpsycho luxury box-set reissue program. While almost every Motorpsycho release is, in one way or another, a step forward, backwards, sideways, or most often everything at once, Angels And Daemons At Play, originally released in 1997, is probably their first coming-of-age album. Following on the heels of 1995's more streamlined Blissard, AADAP is the typically stubborn response from a band refusing to be categorized. Thus, it is...

"Still the favorite of many Motorpsycho fans, the iconic Demon Box was also their breakthrough album. It's a testament to their most drastic period of transition: initially a relatively (but not entirely) straight rock band largely met with....

GREAT album, GREAT recording. This is what I want to hear in a 'modern progressive rock' type record. Hugely recommended

"Since meeting in high school in the central Norwegian town of Steinkjer in the early 1990s, Motorpsycho's founding members Magnus "Snah" Ryan and Bent Sæther have embarked on musical progressions over multiple genres, with collaborations, occasional line-up changes, and the development of a global following -- not to mention numerous awards -- cementing their position as...

I first heard Motorpsycho when shopping at the great Stockholm record store Mellotronen and an amazing album was playing over the system by them, which I promptly bought. The great thing about them is that they change their sound constantly, which...

"In October of 2012, Motorpsycho entered Brygga Studio in Trondheim for the first time in many, many moons -- this being the studio where they recorded a few of their first albums some 20 years ago -- the vibes were good, and the music happened like...
