Pretty excellent cross between stoner rock, space rock and early Sabbath riffing.

“'Exploration' is the first part of a space adventure where a daydreaming character physically enters his dreams which then become reality. Heavy psych, even heavier jams, progressive rhythms and form structures promise to take the listener beyond the constructs of space and time. Stars above, evil below and fire in between. A trinity in peace for aeons. CB3 (Charlottas Burning Trio) is here to bring you on a...

“Ultra-rare rehearsal sessions from 1969 by this South African heavy psych / acid rock band, mastered from a tape transfer — and yet still doom-laden, dark, heavy, and as messy as can be, in all the right ways.
Influences from heavy bands of the time, such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Steppenwolf are noticeable, with proto-doom and psych/funk undercurrents. Do you like fuzz guitar? You’re going to hear it screaming and wailing and building to epic tidal waves and crashes, the kinds of.....

Some of this is pretty primitively recorded, but it’s a very early peek into the work of a great and greatly original US maverick guitarist.

"Eugene Chadbourne is one of the great guitar players of the modern era. At the time he began recording in Canada in 1975, his music was a unique syncretic formulation. While its most obvious component was free improvisation in a style then most widely associated with English and European players, his music also contained elements of jazz, country, folk...

Best song title of the month goes to the last track on here: “Mao Tse-tung Did Not Have To Deal With People Who Were Watching Seven Hours of Television Every Day.”

One of the true weirdo albums of the 60s, this is reissued legitimately (and from the master tapes!) for the very first time since the original release in 1967! His crazy guitars made from car parts [‘dingulators’] are also worth looking up!

“John Fahey’s Takoma label is best known for pushing the envelope when it comes to acoustic guitar playing, but in 1967 it released a record that has become one of the true cult classics of the ‘60s free jazz movement. Charles Martin Simon was an aspiring...

Rhys Chatham is one of the originators of what later became known as the 'downtown' scene and he has been an original thinker and has been involved with interesting music for 40 years!

"Rhys Chatham returns with his first solo album since 2013, the enchanting Pythagorean Dream. Having studied under Terry Riley and La Monte Young (with whom he later went on to work), Chatham fused the overtone-drenched minimalism of John Cale and Tony Conrad with the relentless, elemental fury of the Ramones....

ALL COPIES HAVE MINIMAL SHELF WEAR TO THE JACKETS--that's what the band sent us! Very limited edition of only 300. Vinyl only. Yeah, I know, but Thymme doesn’t listen to me either. Never has! Never will! Wouldn't have it any other way!
Anyway, it’s great and has a strangely sincere liner dedication from Thymme and Jeff, and is a beautiful object.
Buy it even if you don't have a turntable and down load it in full res (full res download included), support one of Amerikkka's greatest cultural

“Cheer-Accident have put off death, then faded out, and now... “Here Comes The Sunset”- ?!? When will all of this ending end, you ask? Well, Cheer-Accident’s unending series of endings comes to a close (yet again) with their 24th album.
What gives? - Peeking through the earglass, it sounds like we’ve got some cutup / schismatic Plastic R&B, something vaguely resembling Eurodance, a coupla minutes of Prog, a dash of melancholia, and a would-be (you know, right up until the "middle section") faithful...

There was a tiny quantity of vinyl made for the band to sell on tour and we have some, but not a lot! Consider yourself warned!

"After three decades, many long-running acts have long run out of ideas. Cheer-Accident...sounds like a band that’s barely dug into its...ingenuity and daring." – Something Else!

“Audrey Chen's long-awaited new solo album Runt Vigor is an adventurous sonic exploration of the voice, cello and analog electronics. Chen began her relationship with sound through the cello and voice over 30 years ago and in the past 15 years, her predominant focus has been her solo work, joining together the extended and inherent vocabularies of the cello, voice and analog electronics (with all sounds created without electronic effect or enhancement other than amplification). More recently, she has...

“The legendary Don Cherry with his great 1966 quintet featuring Gato Barbieri on tenor sax, Karl Berger on piano, Bo Stief on bass and Aldo Romano on drums. This quintet can also be heard on three releases on ESP-Disk, three volumes titled Live at Café Monmartre 1966 and with the New York Total Music Company in 1968. This recording is taken from an excellent radio broadcast.”

The fabulous first album by this group of Ornette alumni, doing Ornette and classic Ornette-style music. A great one.

Archival material, originally released in the mid 90s but recorded between 1970-1975 by this French underground band; this is its first-ever release on vinyl.

“Cheval Fou was one of the most important, prolific and authentic psychedelic outfits that thrived on the margins of the French underground during the first half of the 70s. A precursor to the by now more well-known and equally outstanding space-rock formation NYL, Cheval Fou’s salvaged recordings are a testament to the purest made-in...

"The Beatles, Pink Floyd, David Bowie - cousins Francesca Garnett and Lisa Bankoff rubbed shoulders with them all in the late 1960's, and perhaps it should come as no surprise that a little stardust rubbed off on the two girls.
Musically ambitious, they came close to being signed to the Beatles' Apple label (although John, Paul and Ringo were in favour, George passed, thus vetoing the deal) before being taken under the wing of Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason and signing to Monty Babson's fledgling...

"Certainly one of the most obscure and perhaps one of the most fascinating works of the English jazz revolution. Master of ceremonies is cellist Paul Buckmaster, known for his work with the Third Ear Band and for his (later) collaborations with Miles Davis, David Bowie and Elton John. 'Chitinous' is his the only album as leader and it was recorded between 31 March and 13 April 1970, by an orchestra of no less than 51 players, with violins, violas and cellos. In this enormous line-up we find the cream of...

Instrumental, hard-hitting progressive rock from Peru, consisting of dual guitars, sax, electronics, bass & drums. As my pal Ken said, at times it sounds like early Black Sabbath with David Jackson added. Really good stuff and vinyl only!...

"Official authorized reissue of the legendary psychedelic LP by Christopher from South Carolina. One of the absolute best American psychedelic LPs of the 1960's, and one of the rarest -- a copy went for close to $4,000 the last time an original copy sold online, and nearly double that changed hands off-line for an original! Every song is of the highest quality -- they're all self-penned too -- with an accessible sound the suggests that Christopher could have had more widespread success had they ever made...

“CHROMB! has been making CHROMB! for ten years, five albums and many concerts. And CHROMB! is music. The band is driven by four heads, propelled by an overflowing imagination, electrically powered and impervious to classification.

"That’s not news now: Scandinavian jazz is in love with Americana, importing aspects of Country & Western and Appalachian folk, and even using its instruments, in projects gradually difficult to categorise. Each project still individually unique, and like their fellow countrymen Huntsville, who mixes banjo and pedal steel guitar with Indian tabla machine and shruti boxes...

“With Book 3, The Chronicles of Father Robin reach the final chapter of “The Songs & Tales of Airoea”. This dynamic and soulful journey starts with the upbeat “Magical Chronicle”, a vocal driven track full of lush harmonies and clear references to prog classics such as Gentle Giant, Yezda Urfa and the Canterbury Scene. From the atmospheric “Skyslumber” and the soaring prog ballad that Yes never wrote, “Cloudship”, the album burst into the dynamic psych-rocker “Empress of the Sun”, a song full of energy...

“If you watched television, went to the movies, or listened to radio in the 80s and 90s, you probably heard Suzanne Ciani's work whether you knew it or not. Suzanne is a five-time Grammy award nominated composer, electronic music pioneer, and neo-classical recording artist whose work has been featured in countless commercials, video games, and feature films. A Life In Waves explores Suzanne's life and innovations through her own eyes, offering a feminine glimpse into the world of electronic music.”

“As a genuine vanguard of electronic music composition at the forefront of the modular synthesizer revolution in the late 1960s, Suzanne Ciani's forward-thinking approach to new music would rarely look to the past for inspiration, which makes this unheard composition from 1969 a rare exception to the collective futurist vision of Ciani and synthesizer designer Don Buchla.
In choosing to adapt the controversial prose of French poet Charles Baudelaire, Suzanne would join the ranks of ongoing...

This is the third album by this Greek folk / symphonic rock band who take influences from groups as disparate as Jethro Tull, Traffic, Celeste, early P.F.M., early White Willow, Caravan and the more pastoral aspects of the Canterbury sound, Gryphon, etc and don’t sound like any of them in the least but should please fans of all of them!
Solid songcraft with subtle and nice touches on flute, saxes, keyboards and guitars as well as excellent vocals. Highly recommended!

"Circles are one of the most fascinating of German ambient/electronic bands from the post new-wave era."-Alan Freeman (Audion, Crack In The Cosmic Egg)

"Highly recommended for anyone into Harmonia, Cluster, Fripp & Eno, Heldon, Conrad Schnitzler, NEU!, Throbbing Gristle, Ilitch, Irmin Schmidt, Amon D��l II.

In the late 1970s and '80s there was a lot happening in the German post-krautrock underground that few people knew about -- lots of independent artists doing their own thing, either...

"Latecomers to the krautrock party, Circles created a manifesto of frenzied inertia in the late 1980s, swimming in the same gene pool as Cluster and Popol Vuh. Ambient music for the end of time does not get any more authentic than this. The Structures album is a time capsule unlocked, containing previously unreleased recordings from 1985 to 1989. Music that blends the extremes of end-times foreboding and drifting lightness to beguiling effect. Music that succeeds in sounding more contemporary in 2016...
