“Innovative saxophonist Ivo Perelman is one of those rare musicians whose remarkably large discography is also uniformly superb. Despite having over 100 releases to his credit, not a single one even approaches mediocrity. Perelman's style, unique from the onset, has evolved with breathtaking alacrity making each addition to his oeuvre distinct from the other

“A rather exquisite new communion between these three master improvisers. One of the most exhilarating qualities shared by great improvising musicians is the ability to bring one's immediate situation -- the joys, sorrows, fears and desires of the day -- into each unique performance. What made this most recent convening of the Ivo Perelman Trio so singular was the fact that not only were all three musicians -- prolific saxophonist.

"Water Music signals a pivot, marked by a quality not usually associated with Perelman’s music. His improvisations here contain a new emphasis on melodic lines; I’d even dare call them “lyrical." In fact, this was always present to some degree and maybe not always recognizable to everyone...
...Perelman’s music, like the ocean, has always had its own sense of time and rhythm, as it ebb

1981 Welsh psychedelic/folk rarity (call it "new weird Wales"), which has traditional elements, as well as a goodly amount of electric guitar to give it the psych balance. Nice male/female vocals, acoustic guitars, flutes and more are used in addition ...

"Welsh folk prog group Pererin are still not known to have released a 4th album in their career, and that's because it was only released on cassette, and most of the copies remained shelved without distribution. But it's a wonderful album and here we...

In the early 1980s, there was a small explosion of interesting and very unique progressive music coming out of Mexico. One of the paths being explored at that time was music that fused progressive music and ambient music with the instruments of pre-Hispanic Mexico; the sounds BEFORE the conquerors came and changed the continent hugely. The bigger names in the field were Suso Saiz and Jorge Reyes, but one of the first people to release a record that gained attention outside of Mexico was Luis Perez, who...

The 3rd release, probably their best, and a long time coming by this Italian progressive rock band firmly in the classic mold. The band are a quintet of piano and keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and vocals. Everything about this release says, "Yes...

“The “point in question” of the title of this album is always difficult to put into words. Miles Perkin, a Canadian double bassist and composer who is conquering the world bit by bit, prefers to do it musically, and this new opus gives you the entire picture of that fulcral point of a continuously reformulated question: what it is to write music for a band of improvisers? The conclusions you arrive.

“The second album by Finnish psychedelic rock formation PERMANENT CLEAR LIGHT, 'Cosmic Comics' will be released as a Digisleeve CD limited to 500 copies worldwide.
The Finnish formation PERMANENT CLEAR LIGHT around the guitarist and multi-instrumentalist MARKKU HELIN already advanced to high hopes of the Scandinavian psychedelic scene with their debut album 'Beyond These Things', which was released in 2013 and received brilliant reviews. After various singles and EP releases (e.g. on the British...

I saw these guys in France at the 2009 Rock in Opposition festival and they were good and the bassist was the incredible Philippe Bussonnet (of Magma and One Shot fame) who was incredible as always, and he appears here as well!...

Shawn was the leader and main composer of the great Boud Deun. Since that time, he's done a lot of work in a lot of fields, and this fine little record is his latest release. Watch the video and if you like that, you'll love the entire thing here!

"Think Frank Zappa unplugged. Persinger’s Holloween Baptizm is an eclectic arrangement of four guitar parts woven into a fine tapestry of some times off beat sometimes weird and always listenable arrangements. Often I listen and try to focus on one...

“The early works by Bo Anders Persson presented on this record were written between 1965 and 1967, before he started the experimental rock band Pärson Sound. The CD version is housed in a digipack sleeve including a booklet with in-depth, informative liner-notes and pictures. All but one track is previously-unreleased.

"For their second CD for Tzadik this fabulous trio of sax, guitar and drums presents a new group of compositions that are inspired by sea slugs, microbes, dogs, arachnids, sick friends, deep-sea creatures and more. A part of a new group of bands out...

“Chamber Music is an ongoing series of site-specific sound works made entirely from a single recording of the empty space in which they are presented. An hour of “silent” room tone is recorded when no people are in the building; this is heavily filtered to extract drones derived from the room’s resonant frequencies. This is the only sonic material used, and there is minimal electronic processing involved. Airforms was made in 2013 as a birthday gift for Steve Roden, who provided two hours of empty room...

"Phaedra's 2011 debut album, The Sea received fantastic international reviews in magazines as diverse as The Wire, Uncut, Shindig, and Prog, which drew lines to Vashti Bunyan, Elizabeth Fraser, and Nico. The Chicago Reader said, "this is one of the loveliest, most striking albums, unlike anything I've heard in years."
