“Norway's Shining have created a genre all their own starting with what they call BlackJazz. The International Blackjazz Society shows the critically acclaimed band at their absolute peak.
Very creative, maybe too much so for some listeners. The combination of rock and metal and jazz is delicious though to my ears.”

Yes, just like the Moody Blues!

“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...

"New routes in musical exploration are at the heart of drummer Andrew Bain's episodic suite, 'Embodied Hope' - a project with pianist George Colligan, saxophonist Jon Irabagon and bassist Michael Janisch.
An influential percussionist and educator based in Birmingham (and a first-call sideman both in the UK and the States), Bain's own research has led him to study a concept which seeks to link improvisation with the increasingly topical issues of human rights, community and social transformation...

This very nice and contemporary electronic music is what the robots at Wayside Music like to play while they are picking and packing your orders! We thought you might like to hear it too!

"After the slightly more conceptual Principe Del Norte album (2016), Prins Thomas's 5 takes two steps forward and one step back, collecting a batch of tracks that were recorded right after Principe Del Norte and in tandem with the Square One album with Bjørn Torske (2017). A "freedom" album of sorts, beyond the...

“New Caedmon album featuring seven new songs and six previously unreleased tracks from the '70s.
For their 40th anniversary, legendary psych-folk band Caedmon wrote seven new songs and found unreleased archive material from the '70s to make the album here, titled Rare. Highlights of the new tracks are the eight-minute prog-folk rock epic "Dream Of The Rood", the folk-funk of "Go" the folk-rock of "Runaway", and more. The previously unreleased songs are from 1975-1978 and features the studio version

“2024 reissue of Pendragon's tour-de-force, The Masquerade Overture from 1996. Includes the extra tracks Schizo and King Of The Castle, which haven't been available since 1997, plus edits of Masters Of Illusion and As Good As Gold.
Double vinyl in gatefold (leather effect finish) with full colour card sleeve inserts.”

“This was the album that took Pendragon into greater popularity in 1996. The Masquerade Overture went on to sell over 90,000 copies and has become one of the benchmarks for Prog.

“Once upon a time there was “With a Little Hell From My Friends”… but that was sooo 2022. Now it’s time for MORE. Yes! “w. a. l. h. f. MORE f.” is here!!!
Without any doubt, this album is expected to be one of the very best releases of the year and already ranks high at Prog Archives, República Progresiva and other Prog Rock pages around the world.
w.a.l.h.f. MORE f. is an adventurous album full or rhythmic surprises, well-crafted compositions and top-notch performances by familiar names in the...

“Hailing from Uppsala, cultural powerhouse and home to some of the finest prog/psych outfits, such as San Michael’s, Kaipa, Algarnas Tradgard, Trad, Gras och Stenar & Samla Mammaz Manna, Gandalf’s (Pokora 4-star rated) album ranks among the rarest and incredibly hard to find Swedish psych/prog gems. You’re in for a resourceful blend of acid-drenched psychedelia, alternating with prog movements that bear the mark of emergent styles of its era.
This is no ordinary Gandalf, but a booze-suffused hippie...

First self released album by a duo who play instrumental progressive rock. Spacious keyboards and soaring guitars are strongly featured.

"In late 2022, Roland Hegi and Felix Waldispuehl, both multi-instrumentalists who had previously played together in an instrumental prog rock band called Fors, decided to pool their skills and talents in a new project centered around Roland’s recording studio in Zurich.
Flow is the duo’s debut album, an all-instrumental (save a very few spoken English...

Seelie Court is a label filled with hype. You betcha. Having said this, this is a never-before released, very good vocal orented 1973 era progressive rock album. I don’t hear any Canterbury at all, but I hear the quality of this lost band. Vocals/keybords, sax/flute, guitar, bass and drums. Conditionally recommended.

“Sublime, Brilliant, Beautiful Progressive Art Rockers with a Canterbury vibe and masterful extended tracks, elements of Caravan, Soft Machine and Fuschia, recorded in a London...

"What essentially emerges from this record is that while being sophisticated, it is also very accessible to a large audience. You don't grow tired of listening to it, and the strong melodies are perfect visual aids and inspirations for the imagination."

"One of the greatest guitar-heavy psych records in the world, Dark Round the Edges was originally issued in an edition of around 50 copies, mostly for friends, family, and the odd record company. Its reputation has since blossomed into something resembling a redwood, or perhaps an original Van Gogh. This album is the holy grail for lovers of fuzz-driven hard rock, and has been the most sought-after privately pressed LP on the planet.
We've spared no expense to bring you the deluxe reissue of this...

“After decades of success in the two parallel art forms of photography and music, Andy Summer's is, for the first time, bringing the two pathways together for a new album. Mainstay of rock for over five decades and a seasoned visual artist, the reinvention of Summers' own photography through musical snapshots is at the core of this new project. This is a novel undertaking for Summers, both in the terms of idiom and process, never having been asked to make musical sketches to visuals before, and deviating...

“Premiered on March 29th 2003, salle Olivier Messiaen de Radio France, Paris. Commissioned by Radio France.

“Rediscovered and compiled for release shortly before her death in November 2023, Further Selections from the Electric Harpsichord presents a never-before-heard recording of composer and artist Catherine Christer Hennix's early magnum opus. Originally debuted in 1976 at the festival Brouwer's Lattice at Stockholm's Moderna Museet, The Electric Harpsichord has steadily mystified fans and students of Western minimalist music for it's implacable, transformative qualities, and the long-held, relative...

Oren has a lot of releases, but I thought that this one (along with his collaboration with Pinhas) was quite special AND it features some really interesting musical helpers as well!

Thomas Brinkmann (computable drums with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem) (Parts 1-5)
Matt Chamberlain (drums & electronics) (Parts 3 & 4)

Rob Mazurek: trumpet, piccolo trumpet, bells, electronics
Angelica Sanchez: piano
Tomeka Reid: cello
Chad Taylor: drums

“Rob Mazurek’s creations, dedicated to these six artists offered to Tomeka Reid, Angelica Sanchez, and Chad Taylor, to interpret freely. A foundation laid for these improvisations in the foursome’s forays into Mazurek’s music with the larger ensemble. Here something becomes distilled. Interaction is direct. The unit is unitary, the dynamics are gently modulated, the

“AALY Trio, named themselves after the piece "Lebert Aaly... dedicated to Albert Ayler" by the Art Ensemble of Chicago from their album, Phase One on the America label, released during 1971.
During the early 80's Mats Gustafsson and Kjell Nordeson began playing together as a duo in their hometown of Umeå, Sweden. Things went into creative overdrive for the band when Peter Janson became.

One of the greats of Italian progressive rock of the 70s, we are happy to be able to offer this quality reissue of PdP's classic first album, available on CD again for the 1st time in several years. Originally released in '76 on the highly collectable Grog label, PdP were the closest thing to the Canterbury style in Italy, but they brought their own distinctive voice to the proceedings. Vocals, keyboards, guitar, bass, percussion, reeds, etc. A charming record.

This was PFM's sixth album and was recorded in London and L.A. in 1977. It was the last of their albums to be released in the USA, and perhaps as a last ditch effort to try and appeal to the US market it has a very different flavor than most of their albums. Unlike many bands when that happens, they in no way hurt their music - they just added a new flavor of a very heavy fusion element on this album, with lots of wonderful Fender Rhodes work and violin playing that is more in a fusion vein too. In....

P.F.M.'s fifth album from 1975 is a fine album, although it is a little late in the band's life to be considered one of their greatest greats (you'll have to look at the first three for that, imo). It's the last with their great original flautist/violinist Mauro Pagani, who was the main composer for this album and his departure was a big blow to the band, imo, although there was still a huge amount of talent left. Still completely worth owning; their 'not quite top tier' is still higher than a lot...

Other than the title, which was released as "Cook" in the USA, the Italian & US versions of this 1974 live album are identical. Since this was recorded in the USA AND Canada, maybe they should have left it with the name Cook! Anyway, it's a very fine work - maybe a little past their utter prime, but still quite amazing.

Beautiful gatefold jacket!
Goblin were a instrumental quartet of keyboards, guitar, bass & drums who are known for their soundtracks to some seriously scary 70's horror films by Dario Argento. Their music is sorta like a demented, evil Pink Floyd, but they really just sound like Goblin.

A release so great that one of the great bands of the 90s/00s named themselves after it!

This numbered, limited edition of 500, is on white vinyl.

The 2nd album from the band that I consider to be possibly the finest Italian progressive rock band of the 1970's, & certainly a band in the top tier of all early 1970's progressive bands worldwide! Area combined jazz/rock/stolen ethnic music (mostly from Eastern Europe and the Middle East)/the avant garde and more. Superb playing from all (vocals/organ, guitar, electric piano/synths, bass & drums). This includes a thick booklet with rare...

Special edition for Record Store Day - August 2020. Limited edition on transparent vinyl for its 45th anniversary

“Locanda delle Fate’s current line-up includes four original members - Leonardo Sasso (vocals), Oscar Mazzoglio (keyboards), Luciano Boero (bass guitar) and Giorgio Gardino (drums), the same who recorded the masterpiece "Forse le lucciole non si amano più" in 1977 - and two new ones, Massimo Brignolo (guitars) and Maurizio Muha (keyboards). Thirty-five years later, that first and unique LP, here offered in almost its entirety, still shines in its own bright light!
The third and last "Live in Bloom"...

“The comeback of the Milanese band Alphataurus can only have the status of a big event among fans of Italian progressive rock, thanks mainly to the indelible mark left several decades ago with their 1973 eponymous masterpiece, but also to the beautiful and more recent “AttoSecondo” (2012). One of the band’s recent line-ups has also released a live album (“Live in Bloom”, 2012) and one of rarities (“Prime Numbers”, 2014). After ten years of absence then, filled with a long series of live appearances...

Here’s one that no one saw coming; This is a very good soundtrack in a very early 80s / synthi jazz/rock kinda way. Did you ever think that it would be possible for you to think that Banco sounded a little bit like Passport or Teddy Lasry? Now is your chance!

First-ever reissue of the second, originally cassette-only release by this Philadelphia electro duo!

“Philadelphia synthesizer scribes The Ghostwriters to rouse their ambient masterwork Remote Dreaming. The late Buchla maestro Charles Cohen and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Cain joined up in 1971 to craft electroacoustic chaos as Anomali, later renaming themselves The Ghostwriters. Their collaborations with choreographers and visual media artists led to their singular style, straddling improvisation..
