In the very early 1980s, when the RIO-axis of avant/progressive music was strong and I was enjoying and/or discovering such delights and classics as Ceux du Dehors, Aksak Maboul, ZNR's Traite de Mechanique, Art Zoyd's Generation Sans Futur, etc. etc...

Mini-lp sleeve reissue of the third and final album (in their original lifetime) by this Italian progressive band. "Without doubt, Vietato Ai Minori Di 18 Anni (1973) was Jumbo's masterpiece. With guests such as Franco Battiato and Lino Vaccina (from...

"This is a two-fer reissue of early '70s Japanese underground rock albums Love Suki Daikirai and Kirikyogen, featuring Kuni Kawachi & Flower Travelling Band. Recorded in 1970, the tone of Kirikyogen is cast in a shadow, and it seeps through the...

"...multi-instrumentalists Toby Driver and Mia Matsumiya lull you into a dream state with a small cavalcade of instrumentation, plying an almost noir sensibility at once moody and contemplative, bristling and demure. An unclassifiable masterpiece."

This 2003 Kenso release was previously available only in Japan and only at a very, very high price; we debated bringing them in, but I just didn't want to have to list them at $40.00, so we passed. Luckily, they've just been issued in Italy by Vinyl Ma...

Classic, great, early and wild experimental avant/progressive rock band, led by drummer/composer Gilbert Artman, before he formed Urban Sax. Beautiful reproduction, including the gatefold sleeve.

"The first album by Lard Free, simply titled...

Mini-lp sleeve release of this, the 2nd, and probably the best release of this group's E.L.P. - inspired albums that this very young Italian band released. A very nice fusion of keyboard-driven progressive rock and classical music.
