Released in August 1975 the album was the product of a series of recording sessions at The Who's Ramport Studios in Battersea, produced by the legendary American songwriting and producing team of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.

First time ever for a CD release for the second album by this British progressive band. Recorded in 1971, this moves beyond the 'proto-progressive' sound of their self-titled first album into a early 70s, British, full-fledged progressive rock sound....

“Limited four CD + 2 DVD set. Following the release of the album Drastic Plastic and tour, Bill Nelson disbanded Be Bop Deluxe.

Aware of the emergence of the New Wave artists and out of a desire to continually evolve, he announced the formation of Red Noise. Working with co-producer John Leckie, Bill recorded a new wave masterpiece, a record that would influence a new generation of musicians with it's intelligent and punchy material.
Sound On Sound and the subsequent live shows would divide.

A terrifically fun blast from 1974 that I adored when I was in High School. Refugee was the rather short lived progressive rock keyboard power trio of the then unknown Patrick Moraz on a gigantic assortment of keyboards (I seem to remember that the original album on Charisma had a listing of all that Patrick used) along with the two 'refugees' from The Nice, Lee Jackson on bass and vocals and Brian Davison on drums. Despite this fine start, the band was not to exist more than a year because shortly...

On this, their fourth, all the elements and the members are here:
Annie Haslam- vocals, John Tout-piano/keyboards, Michael Dunsford-acoustic guitar, Jon Camp- bass/guitar and Terrence Sullivan-drums.
This was their first fully formed record in the style that we came to know as Renaissance. It mixes folk, progressive rock, classical and various European influences, all fronted by Annie's quite spectacular vocals, in a pleasing way.
One of the most popular of the progressive rock bands of...

"This is a release of a newly re-mastered and expanded 3CD clamshell box edition of the classic album, "Novella" by Renaissance.
Recorded in late 1976, the album featured the epic 'Can You Hear Me?' along with the classic tracks 'Midas Man', ' Touching Once (Is So Hard to Keep)' and 'The Sisters'.
Because of record company issues, the album was released in January 1977 in the USA, but appeared in the UK and Europe in August 1977. "Novella" was a top 50 hit album in the USA and the band's...

“The Tuscany album saw a reunion of the band with Annie Haslam, Michael Dunford and Terence Sullivan coming together to record this album at Astra Studios in Kent. The sessions also featured an appearance by keyboard player John Tout on ‘Pearls of Wisdom’, ‘Dear Landseer’ and ‘Dolphins Prayer’, the latter two songs also featuring guest Roy Wood (who also appeared on ‘Life in Brazil’). The band was further augmented by keyboard player Mickey Simmonds.
Following the release of the album, in March 2001...

One of Terry's greatest albums, with two side long pieces. The first is for multiple keyboards, while the other is a slow, droney work for organ and soprano sax. Classic early minimalism and hugely influencial on modern composition as well as progressive rock players (listen to this and then listen to Soft Machine Third or Six or Hugh's 1984, among others).

Extensively remastered, this is the first legitimate reissue of what is perhaps THE top Canadian psychedelic rarity.

“Recorded in a time when creativity counted for more than commercial appeal, the album was recorded for the eclectic Sound Canada label. It sold poorly, but was rediscovered as part of the revival in interest in psychedelia; the only problem—copies of the original album are incredibly rare (and incredibly expensive!).
"Royal American…" seems to have one foot planted on either .

"1994 saw the release of Todd's ground-breaking NO WORLD ORDER album, which was the first interactive album release utilising the recently developed CD-i format, allowing the listener to alter the playback of the interactive disc by selecting one of four pre-determined sequences prepared by different producers. Such an exciting concept gave birth to a unique and exciting tour, which saw Rundgren appear on his own on stage surrounded by keyboards, guitar and performing live utilising the latest technology. T

"Released in 1974 by Gull Records, Things To Come was the brainchild of musicians KEN ELLIOTT and KIERAN O'CONNOR (previously with the pioneering group Second Hand).
The conceptual album was recorded at Chalk Farm Studios in London and was the result of many hours of meticulous overdubbing, with Ken Elliott playing an arsenal of keyboards and utilizing the latest synthesizer technology of the day (in addition to providing vocals), whilst Kieran O'Connor played a multitude of percussion....

In the late 1970s, Sky emerged as sort of a musician's musicians supergroup, consisting of musicians from the classical and (progressive) rock worlds. While they weren't touted as a progressive rock band, they were a progressive rock band in the same...

Unavailable for a decade, one of the great, hard to find classics of British jazz-rock (and of jazz-rock in general) makes a very welcome return on this new, remastered edition. For my money, this is the final, truely great Soft Machine album; there...

A very good album from 'way back when' with a fairly incredible story! I had never seen or heard it before now, although I knew its legend...!
Chris Spedding Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar
Roger Potter Bass, Double Bass
John Marshall Drums
John Mitchell Piano, Electric Piano
Paul Rutherford Trombone

"Between 1969 and 1972, Chris Spedding was a rock guitarist whose unique sound, style and musical literacy meant regular employment on the exploding British progressive jazz.

“Released in November 1970, ‘Twelve Dreams of Dr Sardonicus’ was the fourth by the Spirit line-up of Randy California (guitar, vocals), Ed Cassidy (drums), Jay Ferguson (vocals, percussion), John Locke (keyboards) and Mark Andes (bass) and was produced by David Briggs (best known for his work with Neil Young).
Although not the highest charting Spirit album, ‘Twelve Dreams of Dr Sardonicus’ is now regarded as one of the band’s finest works. The album spawned the single ‘Animal Zoo’ and included...

This is one of the really collectable UK progressive discs of the early 1970's. The music is in the classic early 70's UK prog/symphonic style, and features mellotrons, heavy organ, guitar, bass and drums, with lots of singing...

New, remixed and remastered edition of the first solo album released by the bassist of Yes when the band took a break after the Relayer tour.
It's one of the best two (and maybe the best) of the solo albums released by the members of the band, imo.
"Digitally remastered and remixed edition of Yes founder Chris Squire's legendary 1975 solo album Fish Out Of Water.
Recorded in the late Spring and Summer of 1975 whilst Yes was on hiatus as members recorded their respective solo albums...

Early 70s British proto-progressive band that someone once compared to the harmony soaked late Beatles sound mixed with Joy of a Toy era Kevin Ayers!

“Formed in Bristol in 1969, Stackridge were one of the most unique British bands of the era. Their initial line-up featured Andy Davis (guitar, keyboards, vocals), James Warren (guitar, vocals), James “Crun” Walter (bass), Michael “Mutter” Slater (flute, vocals), Michael Evans (violin) and Billy Bent (drums). Possessing a gift for melody...
