This is a surprisingly good sounding (but still of quite good bootleg quality only) document of Thirsty Moon late in their life. At this point, they were playing a rather jazz/rock influenced progressive and I totally enjoyed this disc and krautrock or...

First release by this Texas quartet vocals, keyboards, guitar, stick/bass and drums who have been woodshedding and working on demos and generally just hoing for quite some time now, before finally releasing this. "This tremendous American four piece ba...

"Though each member of the 13th Assembly is acclaimed in their own right (including Taylor Ho Bynum who has worked extensively with Anthony Braxton) this group is very much a singular musical experience. The Thirteenth Assembly began as a touring...

"Station Direct is the second album from the Thirteenth Assembly, an ensemble featuring four distinguished musician/composers working together as equals to create distinctively eclectic, yet cohesive music. Drawing on years of collaboration, as well as...

This Harmony are a guitar, violin, bass and drums quartet from Italy and they were presented to me as a 'space rock' band, but really, what *I* hear is heavy elements of Boud Deun! I seriously doubt that they were influenced by Boud Deun or even heard...

"Between “Blue & Yellow” and “Deceit” came the EP, “Health & Efficiency”. It bridges a gap between the mostly improvisational former, and the highly composed latter, showing great diversity in the band’s sound in general, as well as nicely documenting...

For my money, this is something of a dissapointment. The recorded sound is not particularly good and there were much better sounding documents to choose from. Why the band chose these particular recordings is beyond me...

Great sounding and spirited shows from the John Peel show. Recommended.

"This Heat’s earliest public recordings came from two sessions for John Peel’s BBC radio show, in April and October of 1977. Peel was one of their greatest enthusiasts...

Long awaited release of all recordings of This Heat, this includes remastered versions of their self-titled first (aka Blue and Yellow), Deceit, Health & Effeciency (padded out to a longer length with a second version of the drone piece), Made Availabl...

"Repeat is This Heat’s fourth album proper, posthumously released in 1993. It harbours the most extreme musical side of This Heat’s experimental tendencies on disc, and is assuredly the band’s most radical offering. The title track is an oxymoron...

Excellent instrumental Zeuhl album by Franois on guitar and piano, but, unlike his first allbum, where he played all the instruments himself, this features a crack rhythm section: Philippe Bussonnet (Magma, One Shot) on bass and Daniel Jeandheur (One S...

Danny Thompson is a brilliant double bassist. He started in the jazz world and remains a superb jazzer, but he is best known for his work with progressive folk acts like Pentangle and Richard Thompson, among many others. This combines the best of two...

Linda Thompson was an aspiring folk singer in the early 70's, when she performed on a Richard Thompson album, soon becoming Richard's wife and musical partner for a series of excellent albums, culminating in the great (and final - for their marriage an...

"Richard Thompson's second album released on Cooking Vinyl following 2003's 'The Old Kit Bag' . It is Thompson's first solo acoustic album since 1981's 'Strict Tempo'' and, remarkably, the first ever acoustic studio album of original songs in his...

Recorded for Austin City Limits on July 2nd, 2001, this is taken from the full concerts that were later edited down into the half hour TV show. Remixed and remastered into stereo and 5.1 surround sound. This is an hour and a half of Richard at his best...

2004 reissue of Richard's first solo album, made right after leaving Fairport Convention, and which was one of the least successful albums ever released by Warners upon its original release! This includes all the elements of the original artwork, plus ...

Since leaving Capitol Records, Richard seems to be reinvigorated as a performer (or, maybe I just prefer him in lower-budget mode). In any event, this is a good one that isn't over-produced as so many of his 90s albums were.

"A smoky album of...

Just the album, does not include the bonus disc!

Beautifully done remaster of Richard & Linda's second album that features new photos, liner notes, lyrics and 5 bonus tracks (16')! A brilliantly brilliant guitarist and songwriter works with an excellent vocalist and is backed by a crack band of elect...

I know Ken as the stage-stalking saxophonist of the amazing Gutbucket (see them and you'll know exactly what I mean by that), but he works with other ensembles and this release features some of this other work.

Thork are a French band who formed a decade ago who have personnel ties to NIL. They work in the progressive rock style and tradition, but they also aren't afraid to mix it up a bit with other influences, including medieval and ethnic slants...

First album by this French symphonic rock quintet (guitars/vocals/flute, synths/Hammond/piano/flute/vocals, violin, bass/vocals, drums). This is very solidly in the French symphonic tradition with occasional unexpected folk touches mixed in with the or...

"A classic juke joint blues shouter, Thornton recorded the original versions of "Hound Dog" and "Ball and Chain," which ended up being big hits for Elvis Presley and Janis Joplin, respectively. Thornton recorded two albums for Vanguard in 1975, one a...

"Thors Hammer came from Copenhagen, the Danish capital. Their music was a jazzy progressive rock with English lyrics. Their one and only LP was released in 1971 and holds the sad record of being the most bootlegged LP in Denmark. Until now it can...

This is the second album by this Pittsburgh sax, double bass, drums trio who play a 00's take on modern jazz that is very composed with a lot of tricky interplay between the instruments, but that also allows a lot of room for improvisation as well...

This is 7 albums by Theadgill's legendary Air trio as well as his earliest solo recordings.

"A year ago Pi Recordings released the first new Henry Threadgill recording since 2001: This Brings Us To, Volume I. This is the second release from the same recording sessions of November 2008. Threadgill's Zooid band is a quintet, with Liberty Ellman...

"This Brings Us To is the first release from Threadgill since 2001. He has spent those eight years, the longest time between releases in his career, creating and perfecting a new system of improvisation in a group setting...

"Tomorrow Sunny / The Revelry, Spp is the new release from Henry Threadgill, whose prior releases This Brings Us To, Volumes 1 & 2 topped many critics’ year end lists in 2009 and 2010. The CD features Zooid, the longest-running band of Threadgill’s 40...

Zooid is Henry’s first all acoustic band since The Sextet, and his first band since X-75 which has focused so heavily on strings. A “zooid” is an organic cell capable of independent movement or several cells forming a colony. As always with Henry the...

The debut by this chamber trio of 2 guitarists & a cellist. Incorporating elements of improvisation into their compositions, they also use non-Western instrumentation & techniques; Indian, Indonesian & Cuban elements are all apparent. Interestingly...

Unless you were there, I can not begin to explain just how controversial TG were back in the late 70s. Probably their best known album, if only for the cover and title! The pioneers of noise music in rock....

"Originally released in 1980, Heathen Earth is a crucial live document of industrial pioneers Throbbing Gristle. In member Chris Carter's own words: "You had to have been there. Which is what we always say about TG. TG on record and TG live are two...

Unless you were there, I can not begin to explain just how controversial TG were back in the late 70s. This, along with the included single, were their opening salvos and actually may be their best work. The pioneers of noise music in rock...

"Throbbing Gristle's second full-length, originally released in 1978, captures alienation in its purest form. The line-up of Chris Carter, Peter Christopherson, Genesis P-Orridge and Cosey Fanni Tutti was a vehicle for everything bizarre, extreme and...

Fourth and great album by this spacerock band. I say band, but it's just a duo of Matthew Smith-guitars, trumpet, bass, organ, vocals and Kerry Gluckman-drums, percussion. Despite the fact it's just the two of them, this has a total band sound and it's...

By incorporating real-time recordings of natural sounds from their particular surroundings, the four members of Thuja play off each other and the space they inhabit with impeccable instinct, succeeding in creating eerie yet strikingly melodic compositi...

I had been hearing about this band for some time and now their album is out on Kavus Torabi's label. This is a surprising and quite great album of 'funny rock music' (Kavus' quote). Honestly, this album requires and deserves more listenings than I have...

Reissue of everything by this charming, art-school, oddball band with connections to The Who and Pete Townshend, who was pals with keyboardist/saxist Andy Newman, who turned him onto jazz when they were at art school together (he undoubtably turned him...
