"This is the band's 7th full album - they have been around for nearly 30 years now and have always been difficult to classify, playing a weird mix of electronics, 80's RIO & post-punk music. Just like Ptose, another French band of the era, they have...

Not tunes and improvisations meet, shake hands and dance together quite nicely on this album of mostly duets (the marimbist also plays percussion and drums and guests appear on a few tracks on acoustic guitar, charango, sikus, and baritone sax). "...ho...

This is a very good instrumental progressive rock release by a very young band (aged between 17-21 years old).

“Our influences range from 70's prog, to classical Hindustani, modern jazz and Brazilian music. While our instrumental sound is complex, it is very accessible.”

“This Esoteric Recordings expanded edition has been newly re-mastered from the original master tapes and features four bonus tracks, including an early version of the song Joey and Me (later to feature on the band’s 1978 album Deadlines), two out-takes from the album sessions and the song Heartbreaker (a different composition from the song featured on Burning for You), from the 1977 Intergalactic Touring Band concept album project .
The release restores the original artwork and includes a new essay...

“Recorded at The Manor studio, Oxfordshire in the Spring and Summer of 1976, the album was the band’s first for the newly formed Oyster Records (established by Deep Purple member Roger Glover). For the recording sessions the line-up of Dave Cousins (vocals, acoustic guitars), Dave Lambert (vocals, electric guitars), Chas Cronk (bass, guitars, vocals) and Rod Coombes (drums) was augmented by Robert Kirby (mellotron, electric piano & French horn), John Mealing (keyboards) and Rupert Holmes (piano...

From their earliest beginnings as a straight folkie band to their mid period as progressive folkies with Rick Wakeman in the ranks to their later, very much progressive rock period, and then back to folkie roots, the Strawbs have always been a cult fav...

"This first volume has tracks recorded for the BBC (Top Gear, Peter Starstedt, Sounds of the Seventies, Sequence) from 1968 through 1973. Occasionally there is a bit of chat from the DJ, but its not overly intrusive-rather it gives more of a feel for...

It’s now, what? Almost 55 years since their very first recordings? Dave Cousins is joined by Dave Bainbridge, Dave Lambert & Blue Weaver and this very much has their 70s sound intact.

"Settlement is Strawbs’ umpteenth album and the follow up to The Ferryman’s Curse which was a superb prog record released in November 2017, but unfortunately associated with the untimely demise of producer Chris Tsangarides a month later. This record too is similarly tinged with sadness as it is dedicated to...

"The Ferryman's Curse, the first Strawbs album of new material in eight long years. It is produced by the legendary Chris Tsangarides, whose studio is littered with diamond, platinum, and gold discs by the likes of Thin Lizzy, Judas Priest and guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen.
The Ferryman's Curse, the title track of the album, is the epic sequel to The Vision Of The Lady Of The Lake, from Strawbs album Dragonfly, rated by producer Tony Visconti as one of his Top six productions alongside albums by...

Pianist / composer Frank Strazzeri was a journeyman jazz musician. This is three rather scarce albums [Taurus, Frames, After The Rain] from the early – mid 70s, which have Frank on Fender Rhodes and Moog on the third album, are nice examples of the wide reach of electric jazz by 1973-1975!

“Frank Strazzeri was also a foundation of the LA scene, subsidizing his jazz life with stints with Elvis Presley (go figure!!!) Maynard Ferguson and Les Brown along with a thriving studio life. Here, he plays...

“Pauline Anna Strom (October 1, 1946 – December 13, 2020) was an American electronic music composer and synthesist. Strom made seven recordings between 1982 and 1988 including three LPs and four cassette tapes.
Though Strom’s work developed during the dawn of San Francisco’s influential new age and ambient scenes, her music remains non-programmatic, an adventurous tangent diverting from the era’s ideological tropes.
Echoes, Spaces, Lines collects Trans-Millenia Consort, Plot Zero, and Spectre...

Third release from this offshoot of the Italian band Moongarden.
You know those really wonderful instrumental parts on the early classic Genesis albums Trespass & Nursery Crime filled with multiple acoustic guitars or mellotrons, moogs and more? Well, this Italian band somehow manages to really recapture the feel and sound of those parts and turn it into a full album of goodies.

This is a reissue of two vinyl albums that originally appeared on Nonesuch in the early 80s.

"A living legend in the development of electronic music and a leading innovator in works that involve instruments and other media, Morton Subotnick uses his vast knowledge and experience on Music for the Double Life of Amphibians. This release was conceived as a symphonic poem, the title of which can be understood as a metaphor:
""The metaphor suggests that the 'doubleness' of the amphibians, needing.
