Dreamtime is the band of the great British trombonist Nick Evans, who is heard from too little since the 70's. This was recorded in 1986, so it is chronologically their 2nd album, although it remained unreleased until 2004. A shame, as it's a good qual...

I saw this band or a very similar version of this band a couple of years later, but, most importantly, in a similar space; in a large, old, very reverberent building, where the overtones (the main point of this music) builds and continues to floa

"Music was written by three Dutch composers in cooperation with the accordionists.Improvisation played an important role , and to emphasize this way of making music, a seperate piece of the Norwegian composer K.Hvoslef was added to complete the project."

This very early 1970's UK folk rock band could roughly be compared to Fairport Convention. They only made this one album in 1971, which has always been quite a rarity; this is the unreleased second album which didn't come out for 20 years and which is not quite as strong as the début but still a very solid, enjoyable album. English pastoral folk rock at it's very best. I just wish there were more albums and artists like this.

"It is utterly compelling and maddening to listen to the opening "intro" off Swedish psych-prog outfit Dungen's third album Tio Bitar (which translates as "Ten Pieces/Songs"). It begins roaring out of the gate in a wall of guitar squall, but sounds like it's the middle of some long jam you missed the first half of. It squeals and roils with drums a batter and guitars in the middle of some freewheeling freak-out before it settles a bit and other, more textured sounds come into play before it simply fades...

This is a high-quality pirate edition of this never-reissued, very obscure Krautrock rarity.

"Edensong is a progressive rock quintet from New York City. The band's self-released 2008 debut "The Fruit Fallen" was hailed as a "masterpiece" by critics, and helped to pave the way for live shows and notable festival appearances throughout North America.
At over 70 minutes of new music, their 2016 followup, "Years in the Garden of Years" is even more ambitious than it's predecessor, and will be sure to appeal to fans of both classic progressive rock and metal. The concept album features an...

“Psychedelic rock from NYC's No-Neck Blues Band commune. Egypt’s live shows from 98-99 were truly mind-blowing experiences that inspired this writer to start the Psycho-Path Records label to release their psychedelic music.
“How Many Pieces” album was recorded in the studio, in 1999. Four long tracks, Beefheart-meets-Sun Ra style.”

“Having spent several years as members of J.B. and the Bonnevilles, in 1969 singer Joe Cerisano and bassist David Coombs decided to strike out on their own. Within a matter of months they'd recruited drummer Joe Hartman and lead guitarist Tom Nicholas. As Elderberry Jak, the quartet hit the club circuit, attracting a cult following throughout West Virginia, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
This West Virginia-based band released this rare rural rock record in 1970. It features fuzz guitar, heavy organ & a...

“How wonderful to have this top class artefact available again. The mighty Electric Prunes recorded, both aurally and visually, in Brighton back in 2002, three years after they reformed again in 1999. And if, like me initially, you worry that what you might get is a pale imitation of a once great band, please don't hesitate for a moment. The Prunes are in top class form. In truth it is like they were never away, and the old magic is still there, front and centre, just like in the halcyon days - or should...

“Emanation's One Soul, One Body, One Spirit is an obscure Spanish Black Drone project with a mixture of experimental black ambience and drone industrial dirges that is heavily inspired by the field of spiritism and séances along with other, more esoteric leanings, crafting a ghostly soundscape that gradually evolves into a kind of blackened hypnotic noise metal.
Even from the start, this puts off an unmetallic vibe. The title track creeps out across the first few minutes in a hazy cloud of murky...

"Sharing social circles and spiritual ideologies with artists such as Iasos, Connie Demby and Deuter, whilst splitting label release schedules with Laraaji, Laurie Spiegel and Wendy Carlos, the unique Florida-raised soul mate duo known as Emerald Web released their privately pressed debut LP at an axis where post-prog rock met proto-new age and ambient electronic music. At the turn of the 1980s, Bob Stohl and Kat Epple embarked on a ten-year spiritual journey playing at planetariums and laser shows above...

"Being in Berlin at the time, they soon caught the attention of of the enthusiastic Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser who signed them up for his 'new German folk music label" Pilz.

“In 1966, Dallas was a Mecca for great bands and two of the best, The Exotics and The Esquires, are included on this album. The Exotics began as a rock and roll band in 1959, but by 1966 were recording psych-pop and folk-rock gems. They released three singles, one of them, 'Come With Me,' reaching the top ten. The Esquires formed in 1965 and recorded four singles, mixing folk-rock with a hard edged sound. The wild 'Come On Come On' and 'Judgment Day' are what make The Esquires legendary today. Dallas '66...

Best-known for their respective contributions to the music of Miles Davis and Weather Report, Gil Evans and Jaco Pastorius are true giants of 20th Century jazz and fusion. This rare collaboration, performed at Yomiuri Land Open Theater East, Tokyo, Japan on July 28th 1984, finds them both at the peak of their powers, driving each other on to new heights. Sadly, they would both be dead within four years...

“Pianist / composer Orrin Evans’ Third Album for Smoke Sessions Records, #knowingishalfthebattle, delivers the kind of edge-walking spontaneity that is familiar to anyone who’s ever seen him perform live. It is a raw, electrifying date that teams him with a pair of renowned guitarists who are also, not coincidentally, native sons of Evans’ own hometown of Philadelphia: Kevin Eubanks and Kurt Rosenwinkel. Invigorated by a thrilling sense of looseness and in-the-moment invention—an “anything could happen”...

"New York City's long-reigning experimental electronics collective Excepter went through a period of great transition following their massive 2010 double album Presidence. Member Clare Amory died of cancer in 2011 and other members of the band relocated shortly afterwards.

“Swedish doom metal band have a long history, but haven't released new albums too often in the 20 or so years the band has been around in one form or another.
Blessed? is their third release, and a highly intriguing one at that. Black Sabbath is an obvious influence to this slow, doom-heavy album, but in style and manner fellow Swedes Candlemass seems to have been more important. The overall sound is more similar to the second wave of doom metal that started in the 80's in general and early...

“Though the music recorded is very tight, with the usual sense of Fallesque urgency, the recording quality is a 6/7 out of 10, I feel.
As an audio document this bootleg is excellent , but slightly let down by the quality of the recording, but it's still a joy to listen to.”

“For a gig that was recorded unproessionally in 1980 the sound quality is definitely more than good! This little gem is a must for any Fall fan, the band sound tight and edgy, clearly at the beginning a seminal career.”

“The Fall return with the Live Uurop V111-V11 Places in sun and winter, Son on Cherry Red Records. This set is a no holds barred, warts and all collection of concert clips circa 2008-2012. This recording offers a plethora of performances that comes as close to the real thing as is possible!
The Fall fans will thrive on a bootleg buoyancy that offers the raw stage power of our nation’s saving grace! There is jus the one dip in to The Fall archives as the bells vault us in to the wondrous Wings. From...

Go on! You know you can hear Mark E singing the title before you hear a note of this! "A-NEW. FAKS. A-MER-JA!"

This was the final studio release by The Fall. Opinions varied then and now that everyone knows that this was the final studio release by The Fall, even more so. As always!

“'We're not evil, but we do evil things. Anything to blow society's mind. When we play, we take people's brains out and then put them back in. A dry-cleaning job,' said the Fallen Angels lead singer and songwriter, Jack Bryan, in an interview with the short-lived Dapper Magazine in 1968. Since that time there has never been a live performance from the 60s of the Fallen Angels released. This album seeks to rectify that situation and is a time capsule of that turbulent year.

When Wayside Music started, I bought something like 250 of these from an overstock dealer and was selling them for $2.00 each for years and years!
Nice to have this old friend from the past back once again at a bargain price (with the passage of 40 years, at the equivalent of the same price, actually!), and it’s also a little bit weird too!

Faust are a rightly legendary experimental German ensemble from the early 1970's. This was the last album to be released in their lifetime and the 1st to.

Janet is a great, great, classically trained guitarist who plays a unique, personal music, usually for solo and/or prepared solo guitar. She's been quietly working for a long time and this, her third release, recorded with the equally great, great (but better, better known) Fred Frith will bring her a lot more attention, which she fully deserves.
Having had a rare chance to see her perform in the East (she opened up for Boud Deun at one of their final shows in 1998), the fact that the public at...

“This underground acid folk mega rarity was originally a private pressing for the tiny Nicro label. The album has since been reissued but the original pressing remains as one of the most valuable folk albums out there. It's not hard to guess that the sound quality of this record is very lo-fi but in my opinion it's a good thing in this album's case.
Songs such as "Flowers", "Sad Eyed Lady", "Piscean Ride" and "Angel" for example are really nice psych folk tracks. The album includes 14 songs and...

"Composed as the soundtrack to director John Grierson's landmark 1929 documentary film Drifters, Field Music's fifth effort, 2015's Music for Drifters, is the group's first all-instrumental album.

“From the polyglot border region of Ticino in Switzerland - well-known for its beautiful Lake Maggiore and the International Film Festival in Locarno - comes Final Step, the seven-member band of guitarist Matteo Finali. Live @ Il Magazzino is the band's third album since its formation in 2003. The diverse musical backgrounds of all the band members shine through on the album: a fusion of jazz, rock, funk, blues and ethnic music. The album was recorded in the studio of Mauro Fiero, who also produced the...

“If you loved "The Soft Bulletin" way back when it debuted in 1999, you'll enjoy this lush, gorgeous performance. Unlike so many "live with symphony" albums out there, the orchestration and choral backing for the band seems like a logical treatment, and delivers a completely new interpretation of the album. Songs like "The Gash", "Race for the Prize" and "Feeling Yourself Disintegrate" gain an expansiveness and power that is a nice complement to the original. The...

“These tracks are from an FM broadcast from the Carousel Ballroom in S.F. in 1968. This is the quartet from the period when the band's first album was released to good acclaim, with Peter Green, Jeremy Spencer, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood. The overall sound is good/maybe very good considering the source but lacks a bit of presence and with a slight loss of dynamics. But the recording has plenty of room for each instrument and the vocals, with no intrusive background hiss.”

“Over the course of 1969 and 1970, their live performances would reach stratospheric heights as the group began exploring music outside the traditional blues format. Fleetwood Mac's live intensity level dramatically increased which captivated American audiences.
This set is unique among shows from this era as it not only contains some of the incendiary jamming they had been developing over the course of the past year.”

“Having formed in 1967, Peter Green s Fleetwood Mac swiftly established themselves as Britain s pre-eminent blues act, edging out even John Mayall (in whose band Green had previously played). Over the course of 1968 they performed numerous remarkable sessions for broadcast by the BBC on radio and TV, which are gathered here. Spanning classic blues, rock n roll covers, their own brand of musical parody, and classic compositions by Green, the set is a superb cross-section of their work to that point, and...

Reasonably good bootleg sound on this January 4, 1970 concert, recorded at the Fillmore West in San Francisco, California, on the last US tour by the Peter Green-led version of Mac, which by this time featured a 3 guitar, bass, drums line-up.
I think that Mac, along with Cream and the Jimi Hendrix Experience were THE great triumvirate of 60s 'blues influenced' psychedelic rock bands. Sadly, their greatness was never fully captured on album, but some of this comes close...

“An intriguing and impressive new offering from Floating Points. This is less fragile than some of Sam Shepherd's more recent work and charts a further chapter in the twisting growth of his idiosyncratic musical style and sound design. His electronic compositions navigate through a myriad of textures: minimalist backdrops, emotive refrains that approach almost orchestral intensity, skittish rhythms that seem on the verge of losing control, modulating synth work that shifts between serene and piercing...
