Classy, interesting and even beautiful release by Danish guitarist and composer Sund. Jazz/world music is a great idea and genre filled with some really lame groups doing pretty much new age prettiness with little real content. Acoustic Sense are one...

"Ballet Statique by Conrad Schnitzler, was originally released in 1978 and recorded at the legendary Paragon Studio, Berlin. This album was first released as Con. The name Ballet Statique was only chosen for a re-release and it was not the idea of the...

Weve been trying to get this in stock for the last 2 years & finally succeeded! This is a live, heavy fusion session featuring Janick Top-bass, Eric Seva-saxes & Claude Salmieri-drums with guest guitarist Thibbault Abrial. Janick Top was the bassist in...

Keyboardist/composer Jordi Sabates played on a lot of good Spanish albums during the 1970's. He composed and played keyboards (piano, Fender Rhodes, organ and Moog synths) on this album, that he is joined Toti Soler-flamenco guitar, Ricardo Sabates-ele...

I never heard of Francca before, but this is top drawer, very minimal, minimalist music from relatively early in the music's life (late 60s/early 70s). If you dig LaMonte and other proponents of the big drone, you'll really dig this. Conditionally...

Five Munich musicians playing a fairly sophisticated progressive rock with jazzy overtones, using sax/guitar/vocals, keyboards, guitar, bass/flute and drums. Their only album, recorded in 1975, was never actually released, but here it is 30 years later...

"Jamie Saft and his dynamic trio (Saft-piano and Hammond organ, Greg Cohen-double bass and Ben Perowsky-drums) presents a sparkling interpretation of the work of Bob Dylan. A lifelong Dylan enthusiast, Saft is the perfect man to take on this challengin...

"After two stunning jazz piano trio recordings featuring the music of Dylan and Zorn, dubmeister Jamie Saft returns to his roots with a masterpiece of Jewish heavy metal. Slashing and burning his way through nine tracks of unbridled madness, this is...

Jamie's second CD for Tzadik is a cinematic exploration of dub, pop and club music filtered through his own very personal Jewish lens. Spacy DJ mixes, deep grooves, fucked-up dubs and soulful vocals on subjects ranging from tashlikh toprayer to fratric...

In the living room of a small house in Dalarna, the Swedish countryside, Sagor & Swing has recorded this timeless music evoking the surrounding landscape -- the forests, mountains and lakes. Moody and simple melodies with echoes of old Swedish folk tun...

"Previously known as Subject Esq., it seems they changed name to Sahara to get out of a redundant contract with CBS. Personnel wise, the only difference in Sahara was a new keyboardist (Hennes Hering from Out Of Focus), and a full-time lead guitarist...

"In 1994, The Laser's Edge had a short lived sister label called The Labyrinth. Sailor Free was part of the roster and released a beautiful psychedelic hard rock album called The Fifth Door. After that the band went silent. 19 years later, vocalist...

"Holy shit! This is one of the long, lost psych gems that I thought would never ever be reissued! Saint Steven was Steven Cataldo, onetime member of Ultimate Spinach, one of the greatest of all-time psych bands, from Boston. This was one of those recor...

Michel is a Christian Arab who lives in Israel. He's also a monster guitarist and this is a very unusual and very appealing jazz/rock album that blends elements of Arabic modes, scales and instruments with hot fusion. I still love good fusion after all...

Japanese keyboardist Motoi Sakuraba made his name in the band Deja Vu. This was recorded for a large scale video game, and I am sure that the game, like the music, must be very sweeping in scope! He performs with a guitarist and drummer...

Led by guitarist Kido Natsuki of Bondage Fruit, Salle Gaveau combines the art-music tango, as typified by the brilliant and famous work of Astor Piazzolla with a rock energy and zaniness. Using the same quintet musical configuraration as Piazzolla's...

This is the deluxe, remastered 2 CD set from 2002 that includes a 2nd disc of extra material. "The Sallyangie, the British folk duo of Sally Oldfield and her brother Michael, were signed upon the recommendation of guitarist John Renbourn of the Pentang...

Influenced by Astor Piazolla (what Argentinian accordion player would not be?) but with his own strong sensibility. A great group with a sound that mixes neuvo tango with ECM.

''Caldra is the copper pot boiling on the fire side, where the flavors mix together. Caldra is the result of over twenty years of work that Mario Salvi has carried on his melodeon, the container where creativity marries the musical traditions and rhyth...

Samla was the original band of keyboardist/composer Lars Hollmer. They blended progressive with bits of folk elements & more. This is an earlier, more overtly "progressive rock" disc than what came later, with some great melodies & great playing...
