"The band is cult. Because of their history and because of their playing. They took.

“Recorded live in the period in-between lock-downs. waive captures this special moment of the first concert experience since the covid-19 outbreak for all who were present in the room that night. Recorded when we had to slow down, abandon, sign out, solo, let go, waive.. but when we also could just look, welcome and surrender to the everblooming.”

“More than 50 million records sold, LP productions in Hungarian, German and English, tours and festival appearances throughout Europe and Japan, at least 50 cover versions or adaptations of the world hit "Gyöngyhajú lány" - Omega are Hungary's number one rock export. In 2022, the band will be celebrating its 60th stage anniversary, making it one of the longest-serving rock formations in the world.
After a few trips into symphonic and psychedelic rock realms, Omega presented themselves on "III"...

Omni Opera are one of the original UK festival bands, a term given to bands who combined space rock ala Hawkwind/Gong with a certain amount of 'jam band' esthetic. The best known proponent of the sound is Ozric Tentacles, but back in their day, it was...

“Large-scale improvisation runs the risk of devolving into indistinct masses of sound. While this outcome is not necessarily undesirable, maintaining coherence among more than a handful of improvisers is a challenge. Onceim, a French ensemble of over 30 musicians led by Frédéric Blondy, manages to thread this needle by taking a slow, quiet approach that hides complexity within passages of long-held tones.”-Avant Music News

“The One is a bandproject by the dutch musician/producer Timothy van der Holst. Growing up in the 80's listening to the records of Yes, King Crimson & Genesis he was infected by the magic of these prog bands. He described his music as atmospheric prog in the spirit of the great bands of the 70's with a good melodic and rhythmic sensibility. Together with the British musician/lyricist Frank 'Fish' Ayers he started writing new music in his studio for his first album. Playing most instruments by himself...

O.R.Z. are the duo of Michael Hearst and Joshua Camp, who between them play; accordion, theremin, claviola, guitar, banjo, organ, piano, keyboards, bass, drums, percussion. Their sound is definitely comparable to Hamster Theatre - mostly short little...

A great electric jazz/fusion band consisting of soprano/tenor sax & organ, electric guitar, trumpet, bass & drums. Excellent improvised fusion with an edge, ala 70s Miles & especially John Stevens Away, but with their own sound.

This 1998 release was – iirc – the last release by Only A Mother, before Frank Pahl just reverted to using his name.
The general mashup esthetic of avant/pop/experimental/toy instruments remains in Frank’s work to this day (witness IKP!).
With a wonderful Dennis Palmer sleeve!

"We are living through the same time. The worst day ever for someone might be a happy day for someone else. "THE DAYS" are solo saxophone pieces of drama from someone's life."

Another fine release from this guitarist and composer!

“This new album explores the path started in the previous albums under my name (Mundo Flotante, Tierra Quemada, Angel on a tower) sometimes in new ramifications, sometimes indecisively at a

Really nice, instrumental, progressive rock/ jazz rock from the guitarist/leader/composer of the very fine Spanish band October Equus. Here he channels things like The Muffins, Phil Miller/In Cahoots, Tipographica, Zappa, Planeta Imaginario, Forgas...

Angel Ontalva is the leader of the very excellent October Equus and this is his second solo release.

Featuring a number of players from October Equus, plus other players, this is a really great, instrumental, ethinic-infused jazz/rock trip that is utterly different from October Equus, but every bit as good in a different way, and which is very well worth taking! Highly recommended!

Excellent, contemporary Japanese art-punk sounds. It’s simultaneously kind of basic while being musically tricky and is a bit of a small classic of its kind, I think!

“Nijimusi is the 8th release from OOIOO. Led by YoshimiO, they're a band that has stayed relevant long past many of their contemporaries thru constant re-inventions & explorations. It's recorded with a more traditional rock set up of two guitars, bass & drums, but thanks to an improvisational recording process and technical prowess...

CD edition with three bonus live tracks, of this extremely rare 1974 underground Pop/Folk/Psych album. With a Martin guitar in hand, Oosten took off in the early '70's, playing in coffeehouses and clubs across the country.
By the end of 1973, he was ready to record an LP—five psychedelic folk/rock tracks, ranging from the brightly smiling ‘Sunny Day’ to the epic ‘Hungry Horse Montana,’ where Oost switched seamlessly from Celtic picking to Middle Eastern chord progressions. Oosten filled out his...

"One of the best-loved British psychedelic albums of all time, The Open Mind is a hard-rocking collection that sank without trace on its original release in 1969. Produced with the band's full co-operation, this definitive reissue comes complete with a...

“The Acid Lands, created by the Prague-based Opening Performance Orchestra, was first heard in public in 2014 at the Movement-Sound-Space festival in Ostrava, to mark the centenary of William S. Burroughs's birth. The piece was performed live by Opening Performance Orchestra and their guests, the theremin player Martina Potucková, and the poet, musician, and performer Pavel Z as the narrator. The studio version of The Acid Lands was made in late 2019/early 2020 in collaboration with Bill Laswell and...

“The Early Years collection has been released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the music-theater company, Operating Theatre, by composer Roger Doyle and performer Olwen Fouere. Operating Theatre has been active in two phases: the first from 1981 to 1988, and the second from 1998 to 2008. This double-CD set celebrates the first phase, during which the company operated as both a theatre company, integrating music as an equal partner in the theatrical environment, and as a band releasing...

“The Opium Cartel is songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jacob Holm-Lupo’s vehicle for songs that exist somewhere between sophisti-pop, art-rock and synth pop. Holm-Lupo is otherwise known for his progressive rock band White Willow and more recently his instrumental giallo-rock project Telepath.
The Opium Cartel’s 3rd album, Valor, is a record about naïve but brave dreams. These are songs about the hubris and optimism of childhood and youth. That period of life where everything seems sure to happen just..

“The Optimystik Visionaries was born from the idea of Greg Morgan and Nick Steed back in 2012.
They were joined by good friends John Sandham and Nick Waddecar, writing and performing music in the ‘jazz-fusion’ style of which they are big fans with influences from all the great fusion musicians of the 1970s and 80s.
The band’s debut album, ‘Optimistic Vision’ received great feedback and various gigs and supports ensued, but with commitments from other projects the band decided to take a break...

"OPUS 5 were a 5 Piece ensemble from Quebec Canada who released IMHO one of Canada's finest pieces of 70's prog rock with "Contre-Courant" in 1976.
The line up included Olivier Duplessis (claviers, vocals) , Luc Gauthier (guitars, vocals), Serge Nolet (flute vocals), Christian Leon Racine (bass, vocals) and Jean-Pierre Racicot (percussion, vocals).
OPUS 5 were essentially a mix of lighter fusion / jazz prog with folk leanings at times and somewhat reminiscent of the Canterbury school of prog...

"Genoa’s Orchestra Bailam are back with a new CD that’s full of surprises, as rich in novelty as it is in rock-solid tradition. Active since 1989 (itself no mean achievement) the group came together through a series of concerts, encoounters and...

O.P. is a duo of guitar and keyboards plus some guests that give some tracks a full band sound and other tracks that are much more spacious. They are an offshoot of the (now disbanded) Zita Ensemble. This has a very live sound but also a very...
