Half of the classic lineup of Djam Karet have put together a really nice, gently spacey album that recalls the aspects of the band most notably evident on Suspension and Displacement and Recollection Harvest; an very acoustic sound that also filled...

One of the first progressive bands from Brazil, O Terço (meaning rosary beads) first formed in 1968, but didn't hit its stride until the mid '70s. Personnel changes would become part of the bands dynamic, with Sergio Hinds assuming the role of band...

Composer/keyboardist/vocalist MatsOberg (of Mats/Morgan) G.U.B.B. (the Gavlelborgs Youth Big Band) - a 21 piece band made up of young musicians aged 15-22. Pretty stupidly well played, considering the age of the musicians. The music sounds like Mats' m...

This is a solo piano album (recorded on a beautiful grand piano) by the fairly amazing keyboardist in the Mats/Morgan Band. His typical sense of melodies is showcased here and it definitely sounds like him, but the instrument gives it a softer edge and...

Greatly awaited second album from this offshoot/heir to the Happy The Man crown. The band is now a four piece, with Stan Whittaker's guitar and vocals and Frank Wyatt's keyboards and saxes upfront and well-backed by a new rhythm section. Lots of...

Really magnificently moody fourth album by this great group from Singapore. Their 3rd one, A Far Cry From Here, was a great work, mixing modern influences like Motorpsycho and Radiohead with an original sound, but this one - which is drummerless - is...

"Following their acclaimed breakthrough debut album that caught the ears of critics and fans worldwide, and became Important's highest selling album, Ocean has returned with their forward-thinking, brutally heavy and purely minimalist sophomore album...

Ocrilim is the nom-de-plume of guitarist Mick Barr, who has performed mightily with Orthrelm and with the Flying Luttenbachers, among others.

"Mick Barr is described in Wikipedia as "an American avant-garde metal guitarist", which is probably...

Octafish are a very, very good Germany quintet who started their life as a Frank Zappa cover band, so you know that they can play! They refer to their original music as "industrial fake jazz", and this is their first album, which was originally released..

Memories Vol. 1 is an archival/documentary release. It features excellent sounding rehearsal recordings when the group was preparing for their concerts at MamFest and Gouveia in 2009. These recordings feature drummer Mario Rivera, who only appeared...

The third release from this Spanish 'modern R.I.O.' styled group and definitely their most assured so far. While most of the characters from their previous releases remain Angel Ontalva (guitar and compositions), Victor Rodriguez (keyboards and...

"Octopus' sole 1969 long-player Restless Night is something of a treasure among '60s Brit-psych fans due to its mixture of proto-progressive riffs, accomplished pop tunes and sparkling Beatlesque flourishes. The band evolved out of the thriving...

The German/Dutch band Odin are best known for their one release on German Vertigo. This is an interesting release of mostly cover tunes (Neil Young! Frank Zappa, King Crimson) from early in their career. Decent sound considering the age of...

The German/Dutch band Odin are best known for their one release on German Vertigo. This archival release is actually probably better than the album on Vertigo! Excellent quality radio tapes of 2 originals and 2 (17') of Frank Zappa covers!...

First time on CD for this unique Celtic/progressive rock concept album by a great violinist who also played in Mushroom, East of Eden, Woods Band and much more. Includes bonus tracks!

"Joe O'Donnell is regarded as one of the finest Celtic violin.

Odyssey by this time had turned into a progressive rock-styled band and broke up shortly after this performance, with some of the members going on to become Cathedral. The sound quality is quite bad. "A live recording that was never really meant to be,...

Far from the stroboscopic effervescence of the golden eigthies, the British musician Alig (alias John Pearce), former instigator of a funny pop music mixed nv-dub combo called Family Fodder, comes back as Johnny Kash with a new muse : the superb Norweg...

"Finally! The complete legendary show from L'Oratoire St-Joseph, recorded November 30th, 1972. This first CD edition includes 7 previously unreleased recordings performed during the show (including the composition "Fils de lumiËre" which sees the light...

"One half of Original Silence, Offonoff is comprised of Terrie Ex (The Ex), Massimo Pupillo (Zu) & Paal Nilssen-Love. Similar to the sounds of Black Flag, DNA, Pere Ubu, Last Exit, James Blood Ulmer, early Sonic Youth and The Ex. Noisy, intense, hard...

Chris Poland was the guitarist of the famous metal band Megadeth, but he left them because he wanted to do something different. This is the 2nd by his fusion band featuring bassist Rob Pagliari and drummer Kofi Baker (Ginger's son!!) and everyone plays...

Oho were underground semi-legends in Baltimore all during the 1970s and into the early 80s and this is their best and best-known work. I remember they were supposed to play a show with The Muffins in the late 70s and they cancelled their performance...

"Visual artists and musicians often use similar techniques to create their art. No one illustrates that confluence better than the Seattle-born, Brooklyn-based guitarist Miles Okazaki, who, in a few years, has burst on the scene with a musical approach...

This 1972 release by a Danish group, originally on Sonet, was the band's only release. It gets the deserved deluxe, legitimate reissue treatment here.

"Musically speaking, The Old Man & The Sea fits squarely in the Scandinavian / Northern Euro...

This is the 2010 remixed (by Mike)/remastered version of Mike's follow-up to his classic Tubular Bells from 1974. This got a lot of flack because it came out during the energy crisis and suffered from really bad pressings. It's a fine album and a real...
