This is wonderful to see; for 10 years (1980-1991), The Nightcrawlers, based out of Philadelphia, were one of the greatest electronic / cosmic / spacemusic ensembles of their time, giving a unique slant to their work, but obviously also inspired by the greats of the genre like Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze.
You night consider them the Radio Massacre International of their time in terms of a large number of recordings and also high quality output. In addition to the 3 vinyl albums they released...

“Kaloli is the debut full-length from Kampala's darkest electro-percussion group Nihiloxica. The album marries the propulsive Ugandan percussion of the Nilotika Cultural Ensemble with technoid analog synth lines and hybrid kit playing from the UK's pq and Spooky-J. The result is something otherworldly. Kaloli journeys through the uncharted space between two cultures of dance music, where the expression of traditional elements mutates into something more sinister and nihilistic.
Recorded directly...

"Unknown Norwegian guitarist, singer and songwriter, born as Ole Gunnar Nilssen, and a future member of Solaris. He released a nice album in 1976, “World of dreams”, the first ever release of the obscure Norwegian label Apollo, which it seems to have some links to his later band, as Jon Erik Henriksen was the lead guitarist of Solaris, while bassist Bjorn Henriksen produced the band's only album “Misty morning”. The list on the present album includes about 10 guest musicians, most of them with a jazz...

"Tired of hearing music designed for teenagers? Bored with all that revisionist jazz and self-indulgent art-noise? Here's something completely unexpected, from veterans of Motor Totemist Guild, Thinking Plague, 5UU's, and Giant Ant Farm. The result of this detour from their usual avant-gardism is a splendid recording, made mostly live in a barn in the south of France, of a 21st Century song-cycle representing a tongue-in-cheek manifesto for middle age in crisis. But this is not a collection of songs so....

A collection of rehearsal tapes, live tapes and outtakes by this German band, from 1971-1975. Over 35' comes from 1971-1972, the time of their 1st album and their best period, but there also includes some work from the time of their 3rd album, Only The...

“In late November of 2018, long-time collaborators (& life-long Los Angelenos) Carlos Niño & Miguel Atwood-Ferguson flew to Chicago to participate in the album release performance of Makaya McCraven’s Universal Beings. Just 11 months prior, Carlos & Miguel were part of recording the ‘Los Angeles Side’ of Universal Beings at Jeff Parker’s house in Altadena, California, and this performance in Chicago would be the first time that all of the musicians reunited to re-learn and perform the music they’d...

Excellently done reissue of this very twee psychedelic pop album from 1968. This CD includes four bonus tracks.

"In view of the commercial appeal of much of this multi-instrumental duo's music, it is surprising they did not achieve greater recognition. Campbell-Lyons, who came from Ealing, had previously been in pre-July band Second Thoughts...[their] follow-up All Of Us was an even more poignant collection of often dreamy pop songs. Two tracks, the sad but beautiful Tiny Goddess, which was...

Excellently done reissue of this very twee psychedelic pop album from 1967. This CD includes the entire album in both the original mono and stereo mixes, some of which have some significant differences, as well as a previously unreleased version of one of the songs, as well as three single B-sides.

"#N/A (literally, Nisennenmondai with Adrian Sherwood) is a new studio album which sees the cult Japanese trio filtering their epic motorik jams through the mixing desk of the legendary dub producer.From their initial beginnings as a noisy no wave band openly referencing influences such as Sonic Youth, DNA and This Heat, they have since honed and streamlined their sound into a more minimalistic pulse with an emphasis on the hypnotic possibilities of repetition, creating a sound that can be likened to...

"Born in Japan and a resident of New York since 2001, Aya Nishina is a very special and beautiful spirit whose work touches upon nature, spirituality and the deepest human emotions. Five years in the making "Flora" is a brilliant suite of pieces for...

This is the band that keyboardist RJ Stips of Supersister has been in for 35 years!

“Their 1987 studio album ‘In The Dutch Mountains’ recorded LIVE in their own Werf-studio in Amsterdam was The Nits' most successful album to date and the first to gain a U.K. and U.S. release. The album opener and title track “In The Dutch Mountains” reached several charts in Europe and remains one of the band's best known songs. Maybe even better, although less successful, is the album's other single...

The group's 5th album, from 1983 and the first where R.J. Stips has joined the band.

"There seems little doubt that were they not so geographically challenged, the Nits would be one of the most widely respected bands in the world today...

The group's 4th album, from 1981. This is pre the arrival of R.J. Stips, so that immediately dilutes some of the appeal for many folks reading this. Having said that, this is still very good, very smart & clever pop music of its era. Conditionally...

"Improvisation, over time, yields access to substratum vistas of altogether unseen colouration. This is characteristic of a place in which our music occurs. It may be heard simultaneously here on earth, it may be heard now in the future in surround...

"'Nous" is the fourth album by Nodo Gordiano, a band from Rome born in the late '90s as a cover band of King Crimson, Pink Floyd and Genesis. This work represents their artistic maturity coming from an evolution lasting over fifteen years; besides the...

This is the offshoot of the goth/death metal group Embyrium, who faded out in 2002. The two guys behind Embyrium founded symphonic rock project shortly after and released their first in 2005 with this, their third and most recent as of this writing...

For me, Noetra are one of the all-time greatest groups who never had a record released during their actual lifetime (a sad distinction, but a distinction nonetheless). This is the fourth (and I am told the final) release from this ensemble. Noetra...
