"Over the last few years a rising tide of new Korean artists have staked a place in the global music conversation. Groups like Jambinai, Black String and Park Jiha's earlier duo [su:m] have created exciting soundworlds that deftly combine the instrumentation and complex expression of Korean traditional music with an array of contemporary sounds such as post-rock, doom metal, downtempo jazz, and classical minimalism. While Park Jiha's most recent musical endeavor, her debut solo album Communion, is...

“Reissue, originally released in 1984. P16.D4 was a German electronic noise music collective, active primarily from 1980 to 1988. P16.D4 embraced tape cut-ups, musique concrète, endless recycling, and transformation of previously published material, and many long-distance collaborations with like-minded artists such as DDAA, Vortex Campaign, Nurse With Wound, and Merzbow. Their active participation in the international industrial tape scene yielded collaborative output such as their release Distruct....

“German progressive band from Wendelstein (south of Nuremberg). Their bizarre band name is the chemical formula for Phosphorous Pentoxide.
Outstanding German hard rock/heavy psychedelia from 1975. Not at all typical of a German krautrock bands, more like US bands.
Recommended for fans of 2066 And Then, Sub, Plus, Electric Sandwich and possible Black Widow and maybe Excalibur. Another must-hear artifact that has been obviously over-looked.”

This is a professionally packaged, self-released CDR. It features bassist Paul Kollar (from St. Elmo's Fire), guitarist Paul Barton and drummer Phil Wylie, all tearing it up live at a Coffeehouse in Calyton, NC! This is 42' of improvisatinally oriented...

Solo piano interpretations of what the original keyboardist of Le Orme considers their most beautiful of their output.

"Canzone d'amore is the title of the new album by Tony Pagliuca, the keyboardist of Le Orme, a band from Mestre (Venice) able to overwhelm the recording market in the seventies with their progressive-pop music . Tony Pagliuca exactly 50 years ago joined this extraordinary band. Now Tony is back with an album that features an unreleased track and 13 songs among the most beautiful...

Frank is best known for his work with his band Only A Mother, but he's been a solo artist for much longer than Only A Mother were around. "It may be hard to believe, but The Back of Beyond is Frank Pahl's first solo album since 1998! In the meantime he...

An earlier run-through of what became IKP!
This is France’s and the USA’s 2018 collaboration of minimal/experimental/toypop music!

A great idea for a collaboration, as Frank Pahl (Only A Mother) is a perfect foil for Klimperei! Frank performs on "home-made automatic instruments", while Klimperei perform on various keyboards, guitars, percussion, etc. The simple elements used combi...

"This is a wide panorama of Nam June Paik work as musician -- 'Hommage à John Cage' (1958-1959), 'Étude for Pianoforte' (1959-1960) and 'Simple' (1961) are good example of neodada music and de-structuration in the late 50's, this is basically irreverent audio-collages. 'Prepared Piano for Merce Cunningham' (1977) captures an improvised performance by Paik on a de-tuned piano. While 'Prepared for Merce Cunningham' was later mixed and edited for use by Cunningham, this raw, straight-to-tape version is...

This is both Paladin releases complete PLUS bonus material, reissued on BGO, who are one of the better outfits doing reissues, especially in terms of their CD mastering (i.e. ‘they no crush’).

The Ed Palermo Big Band combines two unlikely American masters with The Adventures of Zodd Zundgren, a dizzying and ingenious reinvention of music by Todd Rundgren & Frank Zappa, two much-loved but drastically different American rock composers...

Ed and his amazing 16 piece band (+ guests) return with his third album of his distinctive, big-band interpretations of the great 20th century composer, Frank Zappa. This body of work has won them huge acclaim from both new and old fans of the music and they even appeared on NPR's Weekend Edition for a short feature which was heard by millions of listeners in 2006. For those not already familiar with Ed's colorful, jazz-based arrangements of Zappa's compositions, Ed has led a big band for 30 years (!)...

Over the past two decades Ed Palermo has earned an avid international following with his brilliantly executed, reverently irreverent arrangements of Frank Zappa’s tempestuous and wildly inventive music. On previous albums the New Jersey saxophonist, composer and arranger infused the world of Zappalogy with his own brand of incisive wit & bracing improvisation. He doesn’t neglect Zappa on his 4th Cuneiform dispatch One Child Left Behind...
