Released on Blu-ray with Dolby Atmos surround sound

“2023 was the year of the Artrockers from RPWL: 'Crime Scene', the eleventh studio album and the nineteenth overall, entered various charts after it's release: it even reached a remarkable 18th place in the German album charts! This was followed by a fantastic long European tour through eight countries with many sold-out venues. On the last studio longplayer 'Crime Scene', the Bavarian Artrock institution focused their attention on the morbid...

“With King Crimson alumni Tony Levin on the Chapman Stick and drummer Pat Mastelotto, Markus Reuter brings is various Touch Guitars and soundscapes to a tour of Japan back in 2022 to mix original compositions with a salute to Robert Fripp in both sound and tune selection.
Vintage Crimson material from the golden days are delivered with 21st Century Schizoid fashion, as “Red” has Mastelotto delivering an avalanche of percussion around the fiery metallic strings, while “Lark’s Tongues In Aspic”

"Serious and eccentric pieces for piano, other keyboards, throat singing and small drums, some Dollar Brand, some nonworld music. Unlike anything I can think of."-Chris Cutler. ”He´s a clear, melodic player with a left hand and rhythmic feel occasional...

First-time on CD for this 1987 debut from Ur Kaos (Lach'n Jonsson, Johan Hedren, Mats Paulsson).

"With their subtly nuanced modulations of unresolved tension and atmosphere of sooty desolation, Sweden's Ur Kaos are one of the precious few bands vibrating at an emotional frequency in tune with the resigned doom of This Heat's Deceit. Unlike the visceral immediacy Charles Hayward's grave intonings lent those late 70s mavens of desperation however, Ur Kaos' lyrical intentions can only be guessed...

"Pere Ubu have really come out fighting with Why I Hate Women, racing towards all horizons at full tilt, pushing the experimental envelope further than ever, but also tightening up their trademark avant-punk attack. If St Arkansas saw them rooting around furtively in rock's darkest, dankest corners, on Why I Hate Women Ubu seem to illuminate these secret spaces with firework displays and thousand-watt searchlights. The rhythm section (Ubu's longest serving) of bassist Michele Temple and drummer Steve....

Here is the first-ever vinyl reissue of this landmark album PLUS a second lp of all new stuff.
In the 50 years since this was released, so much has happened, and artists like Keith Rowe and Derek Bailey have become relatively well known, so that the shock of this record back then is hard to imagine now. But as a member of a medium-profile ‘progressive rock band’ on a high-profile ‘progressive rock label’, Fred Frith was watched and known by people who didn’t know Derek from a hole in the ground in...

Long out of print, we found exactly TWO copies in the lost warehouse!

Guitarist Jimmy Agren is a member of the Mats/Morgan Band, the brother of drummer Morgan Agren, and an amazing slide player. His albums are more 'bluesy' than most of what we carry, but if you like the sound of Zoot Horn Rollo on those classic Magic Band albums, then you will find a lot here to like! Most of the tracks are all performed by Jimmy on guitars, bass, drums, harmonica and vocals; all of which he handles pretty stunningl

Long out of print, we found exactly 3 copies. The 2nd release by this band (The Nameless Cult) that features bassoonist Juan Carlos Ruiz, formerly of Nazca, plus piano, violin and French horn/electric bass, plus guests on cello, drums, percussion. For the most part, this is percussionless, and the sound is like the least rock aspects of early Univers Zero. Like Nazcal, this is very influenced by the earliest & most 20th century classical/creepy aspects of U.Z. Certainly a good listen for fans of this...

Cardboard Amanda is the work of Frank Camiola (along with two other musicians), who was one of the driving forces behind the band Frogg Cafe during their most interesting period. After leaving the band, he has been working on this album for a few years now and now it is here. It's a real weirdy; if this released was 30 years ago, all the hipsters would be talking about 'drug-coma induced tape fuckery' when this was re-discovered. For some reason he's using an alias here (sorry if I blew your cover, man!)...

Rod Poole was a experimental guitarist, mostly working with a acoustic Martin guitar, refretted with just-intonation frets.
Originally from the UK, he performed with Derek Bailey as well as in private collaborations with Keith Rowe of AMM.
After moving to the United States in 1989, his studies in just intonation began with instructor, Ervin Wilson.
This is improvised duets in just intonation for guitar and voice and is quite lovely and easy listening for what this is.

“Acclaimed vocalist-lyricist-arranger Fay Victor & her Herbie Nichols SUNG Quintet celebrate & thoroughly reconsider the rich legacy of jazz composer Herbie Nichols with Life Is Funny That Way, and bring it singing boldly into this century.
Following on Billie Holiday, who famously wrote "Lady Sings The Blues" to Nichols' "Serenade," Victor developed th

“Lesego Rampolokeng (born 7 July 1965) is a South African writer, playwright and performance poet. He came to prominence in the 1980s, a very turbulent time in South Africa. His poetry often criticises the establishment. His first instalment of poetry was Horns for Hondo (1991) and this was followed by End Beginnings (1993).
Lesego collaborates with musicians. He has performed in many countries and with musicians such as Julian Bahula, Soulemane Toure, Louis Mhlanga and Gunther 'Baby' Sommer.”

“A suite of fiendishly complex compositions for mixed real and virtual resources. Bob Drake, Djorge Delibasic, Pegja Milosavljevic and Chris Cutler make appearances - playing electric guitar, bass, drums and virtuoso violin between them, but mainly it is Stevan who plays all kinds of keyboards, strings, double bass, zither, samples and software.
Three thoroughly through-composed and finely articulated pieces make up this very concentrated suite: Concerto Grosso (for keyboards, string instruments and..

This is all three of the Capricorn Dixie Dregs releases, which, in my opinion, definitely constitute their best work:
Free Fall
What If
Night Of The Living Dregs

They had three still decent ones later for Arista as ‘The Dregs’, but these three here are the great ones. This is US electric jazz/rock 101 and belongs in every collection of 70s fusion.
All three albums here are complete and reissued on BGO, who are one of the better outfits doing reissues, especially in terms of...

Giles, Giles & Fripp's only album is a weird trainwreck combining 60's psychedelic pop songs, music-hall esthetics, 'goon-style' British humor and more. It is also the very unlikely beginnings of the band King Crimson, as all 3 of the members of GG&G later went on to work in King Crimson. It is a very interesting footnote to their later career. Included are six bonus tracks.

“Reflections in Repose captures the pure essence of Steve Roach's ever-deepening intimate embrace of silence, breath, rich harmonic inventiveness, and shifting liminal states; it's a sound and style completely unique to his electronic/ambient vision. Created over two evenings at the close of 2023, the music was recorded in the same sequenced flow as presented on the two discs' 116 minutes. The five long-form tracks were performed on a single instrument -- the Oberheim OB-X8 -- the modern equivalent of...

Decibel were a legendary Mexican chamber/rock group with improvisational leanings who are probably best known for their very fine contribution to the excellent Recommended Records Sampler double album. This has a 40’ concert recording from Mexico City, May, 2000, as well as very rare archive recordings from the 70's. The sound of the archival materials isn't awful, but it is definitely lo-fi, so that should be kept in mind.

“The Archives are taken from the private pressing cassette "Chiasognathus..

Quite, quite rare album of electronic and electro-acoustic music from this composer, written for theatrical performances and originally released in 1979.
The material here was recorded between 1972-1979 and there is a lot of interesting bonus material that was left off of the original album's release due concerns about sales in 'the market'.

"Besombes, the French musique concret composer and electro-acoustic musican, supported himself for a number of years in the ‘70s writing music for...

“Clamshell boxed set of archive live recordings by Baker Gurvitz Army made for BBC Radio & TV, independent radio & Radio Bremen, all from 1975.
Baker Gurvitz Army was formed in 1974 by former Gun and Three Man Army members Adrian Gurvitz (guitar, vocals), Paul Purvitz (bass, vocals) and virtuoso drummer Ginger Baker, formerly with Cream, Blind Faith and Airforce. The trio was soon augmented by the arrival of vocalist Mr. Snips (Steve Parsons) and keyboard player Peter Lemer (In Cahoots, Seventh...

This is both Paladin releases complete PLUS bonus material, reissued on BGO, who are one of the better outfits doing reissues, especially in terms of their CD mastering (i.e. ‘they no crush’).

“British progressive rock band Paladin's two albums for Bronze Records, dating from 1971 and 1972. The group was formed by Pete Solley and Keith Webb, both who'd been in Terry Reid's backing band. Despite a hectic touring schedule and promotion, the band never really achieved commercial success and called...

“New York-based composer and producer [and former member of Weasel Walter’s Cellular Chaos], Kelly Moran’s intricate, experimental pieces transcend the piano’s more traditional and classically-imposed school of thought. On her new album, Moran augments her pianistic abilities to superhuman levels in order to create a new strain of her singular experimental piano compositions.
Hypnotic and emotive, the coming project solidifies Moran’s role as one of the leading contemporary composers for the piano...
