"Ramblin' comes from an adventurous period in Paul Bley's career, at a time when he was associated with some of the more avant-garde elements. His playing often takes an attractively aggressive approach, which he tempered in later years. There is his...

Potlatch is pleased to announce the release of Exaltatio utriusque mundi with Frdric Blondy (piano) and L Quan Ninh (percussion). Frdric Blondy and L Quan Ninh first met each other at the end of the 90s. They have regularly collaborated enjoying a frui...

The Blossom Toes were the first really professional band of guitarist Brian Godding (Centipede, Mike Westbrook, Magma, Mirage, Solid Gold Cadillac, Kevin Coyne, etc.) and while their two albums are a bit dated in terms of production, they are fine...

While they last, this is $12.00 off the regular price!

This is a pretty great thing to see. The 1967 Swedish show has long been available in trading circles, but here it is sounding the best it can (reasonably good considering the age), made...

This is 25 minutes of the most mind-altering technical/math metal you can possibly imagine. Led by guitarist/mastermind Ron Jarzombek (Spastic Ink, Watchtower) this features a real band (and not a projects with 'programming') featuring bassist Alex...

The band that launched a thousand stoner rock bands, but there was only one Blue Cheer!

"Rock & roll had grown louder and wilder by leaps and bounds during the '60s, but when Blue Cheer emerged from San Francisco onto the national rock scene in..

"Like a melancholic but problematic love affair, this album simultaneously comforts and distresses a wounded heart. In that sense it's most reminiscent of...well, er, basically everything else this band has produced. The dichotomy of exposing oneself to..

The band who basically invented the idea of 'thinking man's hard rock/heavy metal'. One of the great hard rock bands of all time and that's no lie! This is their classic first album and includes four never-before released demos!

The band who basically invented the idea of 'thinking man's hard rock/heavy metal'. One of the great hard rock bands of all time and that's no lie! This is their mega-classic third album - generally regarded as their greatest - and includes 5 bonus tracks

His records never really got the attention that they deserved, but in the early to mid 1990s, when there wasn't a lot that was good happening in fusion or progressive jazz/rock, guitarist Bon Lozaga (who previously had played in Pierre Moerlin's Gong)...

Recorded over 40 years ago in 1964 at a tiny club, this was wild, radical, stomping music in its day and it can still be enjoyed now. This is where Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker first worked together (included is an early but not that different version...

A now out of print compilation from their first 3 albums! This includes 3 tracks from their great first album (my personal favorite of their works), as well as one track from II and III/Recit. Bondage Fruit were part of the Japanese Zeuhl explosion of...

This is the first album by guitarist Marc Bonilla who has played with a lot of different folks since this debut from 20 years ago (1991) and now, most notably with Keith Emerson in Keith's band (Keith appears here), Kevin Gilbert (who appears here) and...

Features original members Neil Innes, Roger Ruskin Spear, Rodney Slater, Vernon Dudley Bohay-Nowell, Sam Spoons, Bob Kerr and 'Legs' Larry Smith + four guests to fill in/cover for Viv Stanshall!

"2006 marks the 40th anniversary of the release...

The great Cuneiform Records drillout/blowout sale. After 25 years of releasing great, hard to sell music, you won't be surprised to read that we've simply got too many of some titles. To make some room for the future, for a limited time you can buy...

This is long out of print, on the always excellent See For Miles reissue label. Alto saxophonist Earl Bostic was a master of his instrument, but he was somewhat underappreciated by jazz fans due to the string of popular R&B/jump blues hits he recorded...

Great price on this great, somewhat 'folkie' Bowie album that is often overlooked because the next one was the huge success that is "Ziggy Stardust".

"After the freakish hard rock of The Man Who Sold the World, David Bowie returned to singer...

"On the surface, Lodger is the most accessible of the three Berlin-era records David Bowie made with Brian Eno, simply because there are no instrumentals and there are a handful of concise pop songs. Nevertheless, Lodger is still gnarled and twisted...

David Bowie returned to relatively conventional rock & roll with Scary Monsters, an album that effectively acts as an encapsulation of all his '70s experiments. Reworking glam rock themes with avant-garde synth flourishes, and reversing the process as...

For the hip-cats in the know, this FINE collection of 32 of his greatest recordings that fall somewhere between r'n'b, swingin' bop and proto rock 'n' roll and come with a informative booklet will rock the joint. Hear the original version of 'Train...

This is a French-only Blue Note release by this Swiss-born pianist who leads a band consisting of fine if unknown French musicians on trumpet, bass, drums and percussion. It's recorded and mixed by Jan Erik Kongshaug at Rainbow Studios, so you know it...

Brainville was the band formed by Daevid Allen, Hugh Hopper and the late Pip Pyle all revered musicians within the Canterbury Scene. The band have built up a good groundswell of support over the years that it has been a going concern which is usually...

"Phoenix Records reissues Brast Burn's Debon -- a classic of Japanese Kraut obscurity originally released in 1975 on Voice Records, now digitally-remastered. Brast Burn are often linked with Karuna Khayal, with many aficionados concluding that they were..

"Few modern musicians in any genre can have been so extensively documented as the Chicago-born multi-instrumentalist, and yet the very density of the documentation serves only to heighten the enigma that is Anthony Braxton'' (Penguin Guide To Jazz)...

"The first thing that came to my mind when I put on the new release Smorgasbord by Norway's The Brimstone Solar Radiation Band was just how much good music is out there that most people never get to hear. In a perfect world these guys would be massive...

This soundtrack to Al Gore's controversial 2006 documentary is an excellent, ambient work and one of Brook's best releases for my tastes. Some of the best works on the CD weren't used in the film, but were created for it and they appear here....

Brown vs Brown are a intense and stunningly tight and complex 'rehearsal-intensive' avant-garde rock band from Amsterdam, Holland. Brown vs Brown was formed in 2004 by Dirk Bruinsma (saxes, vocals), Viljam Nybacka (bass), Gerri Jäger (drums) and Jeroen...

Released on Proper, a great UK label who do an amazing job in terms of packaging, presentation and especially in terms of sonics. This is important, basic repertoire material. A great place to hear some of his best stuff and at a amazing price...

The tragically early death of Clifford Brown at the age of 25 means that the impact he made as a player during his career was all the more incredible. This jams as much of his important work as can be crammed onto two full CDs. It even includes the...

People, this is one of the greats by one of the greats. This is the best of James Brown circa 1969-1971. Grooves were never harder, rhythms were never tighter, bands were NEVER funkier. AND that photo of JB on the cover is so bad-ass it makes me wanna...

"An astonishing record of James and the Flames tearing the roof off the sucker at the mecca of R&B theatres, New York's Apollo. When King Records owner Syd Nathan refused to fund the recording, thinking it commercial folly, Brown single-mindedly...

Another unbelievably tight 'n' funky outing with JB and ths J.B.'s! Grooves were never harder, rhythms were never tighter, bands were NEVER funkier. Highly recommended.

"James Brown is featured here with the then newly formed J.B.'s -- the...

"This live outing from Brown's seminal 1970 J.B.'s lineup features Bootsy Collins, Clyde Stubblefield, Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Bobby Byrd, and many more. While it's a cut below Love Power Peace in documenting this lineup live, Brown and his band...

One of the very last of the great releases by the hardest working man in show business himself!

"Originally released in 1973 as a sprawling two-LP set, The Payback was one of James Brown's most ambitious albums of the 1970's, and also one of...

"I've been out of touch with Pete since his Harvest days. Didn't think he was around anymore. So, I was surprised to see this release. I bought it with minimum expectations and was amazed at how good he sounds. Pete's voice, singing, and style has...

This was the follow up to the enormously successful "Time Out" album (the 1st jazz album to sell 1 million copies!) and it's great and it's also where many non-musician type folks first learned about time signatures.

"Unlike most sequels, Time...

Great price on this 1989 solo album by Jack, which features a bonus track not on the original issue.

"When this album was released by Epic in '89 it was announced as something like a big come back album, full of illustrious gueststars...

This material has been available before, but not necessarily complete and definitely not complete at this great price. This consists of two shows, taken from the great Rockpalast TV show from Germany. The 1st show is by Jack Bruce and Friends, October...

Good price on this very, very good 2003 release by Jack, which was produced by Jack and Kip Hanrahan, and includes a lot of influences from his work with Kip (which produced some really great albums in the 80's from the two of them)...

This is a very good 'best-of' collection of Jack's work for the CMP label from the 1980s into the early 90s, when the label folded. CMP was a good home for Jack and they provided him with room to be experimental and to move beyond the sound of Cream...

While they last, this is 1/3rd off the usual price! Well, this is a pretty great album if you love Jack and/or Robin and also a bit of a great surprise, even though they have worked together before. The tunes are all co-composed by Jack and Robin...

This album, originally released in 1977, established (ex Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, National Health) drummer BIll Bruford as a (very) credible composer and bandleader. For me, this is one of the finest fusion albums to have come out of the UK. In addi...

I don't know why this great band lasted such a short time - they made a studio disc and then did some touring (I saw one of the shows and it was great), which resulted in this double live album. This has been available before, but has been hard to find...

I don't know why this great band lasted such a short time - they made a studio disc (this) and then did some touring (I saw one of the shows and it was great) and then nothing. But we can play this and remember what might have been/should have been a...

"The Bruford Tapes demonstrated a more raucous energy than Brufords first two releases, but the follow-up studio album, Gradually Going Tornado, proved that the group was capable of generating the same kind of power in the studio. And while Berlin...

Follow-up to the superb debut by Bill Bruford and featuring the same band: Bill-drums, Jeff Berlin-bass, and Dave Stewart. This is a slightly more conventional fusion album than Feels Good To Me, but it suffers not a bit for that, as this 1979 album is...

Tim Buckley was an extremely talented folkie guitarist and singer who started to stretch his music way beyond the boundaries of folk, culminating in his masterpieces Lorca and Starsailor in 1970. This is the first-ever collection of his television...

Fun, extremely obscure psych/early prog British rarity, originally released on Nova.

"Amazing 1969 UK mod/psych/freakbeat rarity featuring soon to be members of T2 and The Flies. This is the first time it has been reissued officially on CD...
