Fourth album from this Swedish progressive/jazz-rock band, with all songs bar one recorded in front of an audience for that extra ‘kick’ you get from a live recording when everything is clicking good and you will be impressed both by how much they ARE clicking!
Very loose and improvised/jammy around sma

After 5 albums as leader of Chicken Mambo and collaborations with many US stars, Fabrizio is 'bringing it all back home' with this sincere homage to the culture of Lombardy. Inspiration comes from the old storytellers - known as Turutela - who, armed w...

Really, really pleased to see that his excellent (and funny!) young, modern, French trio have found a home on AltrOck. They put on a wonderful performance (even before they hit the stage!) at the RIO fest in 2013 and this is a band that fan of modern...

This is the fourth Poil album and the first since their collaboration with Ni as PinoiL.
While it still burns with the energy they are known for, either I have gotten a litte more used to their Wildman tactics so it isn’t the first thing I notice, or they’ve kept the musical excellence intact, but have toned things down a little bit [not too much but a little bit] in terms of the noise and..

“Unexpected encounter between Junko Ueda, eminent figure of the Japanese medieval epic storytelling, whose warm and profound voice summons the terrestrial energies, and the organic madness of the monster PoiL practicing with cosmic rock without net.
Just after releasing the debut record, the story continues wi

“Chris Poland is an American jazz fusion guitarist and creator/co-founder of the Heavy Jazz/Rock/Fusion power trio OHM.
Poland started playing from high school in New York, and later replaced Richard "Max" Maxfield in the rock/jazz group Welkin. In 1977, he moved to Los Angeles and formed the The New Yorkers with Robertino 'Pag' Pagliari, Gar Samuelson and Stu Samuelson. Poland and Gar Samuelson were then recruited by Megadeth and were crucial members of their early line-up. Poland worked on their...

"The title of this recording has multiple meanings for its composer, Larry Polansky (b. 1954). These are the generations... is a translation of the Hebrew title for the second work on the program, Eleh Tol'd'ot, the first words of the thirty-fifth verse of the first book (B'rey'sheet) of the Torah. Beyond referencing Polansky's Jewish heritage, the phrase reflects this particular collection of works on several levels. The compositions included stem from different generations of Polansky's musical output...

"Polygone was formed around three former members of ‘70s Québec progressive rock group Incubus (since reunited as ExCubus with two albums also available through ProgQuébec): Marc Delage (guitars, vocals, bass, piano and mellotron), Michel Phaneuf (synthesizers, clavinet, mellotron and vocals), and Pierre Poulet (guitar and bass), who were joined by Claude Phaneuf (guitars and bass) and Luc Proulx (drums) in 1979; the group remains active until 1983 (also the year André Barrière replaced Claude Phaneuf...

Rod Poole was a experimental guitarist, mostly working with a acoustic Martin guitar, refretted with just-intonation frets.
Originally from the UK, he performed with Derek Bailey as well as in private collaborations with Keith Rowe of AMM.
After moving to the United States in 1989, his studies in just intonation began with instructor, Ervin Wilson.
This is improvised duets in just intonation for guitar and voice and is quite lovely and easy listening for what this is.

"Originally recorded in 1969 for Orfeon Records in Mexico, this unbelievably awesome set of psychedelic rock was shelved for decades, due in large part to its fantastic (though probably poorly chosen from a commercial standpoint) title Society Is a Shit. With the exception of a humorous, traditional-sounding acoustic number presenting the record in Spanish, this record is 100% pure, mind-expanding psychedelia sung mostly in English. It's got all the factors you'd expect from a psych record of the period...

The crazed, loud, ‘77 Iggy / Bowie tour (with David only performing on watery / phase shifted keyboards) is one of the highlights of Iggy’s mid/late 70s period, with all the recordings that document this tour, no matter how good they are, sounding kinda poorly defined in terms of instrumental separation, and loud as fuck. Yeah, baby.

“Iggy Pop, live at the Civic Auditorium, Santa Monica, CA on April 15th, 1977. The Iggy/Bowie period is a sharp document of hedonism and salvation. Two rock stars...

"From a founding member of the 70's band Catalyst to his performances with Max Roach, Odean has always maintained a unique and identifiable sound on the tenor saxophone. On this recording we find him performing on two different trio dates. Within the...

Nice reissue of Popol Vuh's 1st album which includes a booklet of photos and more.
This includes an excellent 10 minute bonus track that has never been heard before. This was only one of two that featured Florian on the Moog.

"Formed in 1969 and named after the Quiche Mayan Indian's bible, Popol Vuh centered around keyboardist/conceptualist/Hertzog-pal Florian Fricke. Affenstunde (aka 'The Time Of The Monkey King') was the first Popol Vuh album, originally issued in 1971. It was a forum.

This is Popol Vuh's incredible third album. This is the album where Florian ditched the synthesizers and found a way into outer space by way of inner space. Includes two very rare bonus tracks, recorded at the same sessions in 1973.
Even though this was the first album to feature the band’s uniquely spacey acoustic sound, this album is completely fully formed from the template that they created for themselves from this album onward! An incredible achievement.

This Popol Vuh was a Norwegian progressive rock group, established 1972, who released two albums under that name (this is the second of them) and then renamed themselves in 1974 to Popol Ace in order to avoid confusion with the German Popol Vuh!

"In 1973 Popol Vuh moved to the recordings of a second album without Pjokken Eide, who left the previous year to start an (unsuccesful) solo career. As taped on ''Quiché Maya'' (1973, Polydor) gone with him are some of the most progressive elements of...

This is the very first Porcupine Tree album from 1991. More of a Steve Wilson solo project than a true band like they rapidly became, this still has their Pink Floyd-influenced sound, if in a more Embryonic form.
