It was in the early 2000s when the band Wicked Minds graced the stage all over Europe and the audience would applaud their powerful mix of hard and progressive rock. After fifteen years the G.O.L.E.M has now taken up, reinvented and expanded that path left behind, with a mystical fusion of psychedelia, hard rock, krautrock and.

“De-formation: Piano Variations, a work for solo piano. Composed and performed by Galás in September 2019, the 21:19 minute piece is based on the expressionist poem Das Fieberspital (The Fever Hospital). Written by German poet Georg Heym in 1912, Das Fieberspital's depiction of warehoused patients of yellow fever presaged the treatment and hiding of infected and damaged soldiers later in WWI.
De-formation depicts a march and delivery of maimed and infected soldiers to hospitals and industrial...

“The smoke from the extinguished candles has only just settled from our 10th Birthday celebrations of "The Master and the Monkey" and yet we find ourselves with the 10-Year anniversary of the release of our sophomore album, Road to Darkness, coming up very soon indeed!
It’s fantastic to be able to make this album available again to mark 10 years of its existence! The vinyl release is especially exciting as, from the fantastic artwork to the space-rock thematic, if there was ever one of our records...

Absolutely one of my favorite of the original 'punk era' bands, the Gang Of Four released two great albums and a couple of singles before completely killing themselves trying to break themselves in the USA. The GoF mixed tight, herky-jerky rhythms with an explosive guitarist who did the noisy, 'shards of brittle strings' thing better than anyone (even better than Keith Levine), and on top of it all was Jon King's politically charged singing.

"Top down, tunes up and cruising out of the Jersey suburbs into yr heart are Garcia Peoples and their debut LP "Cosmic Cash" on Beyond Beyond is Beyond. Originally a quartet (Tom Malach and Danny Arakaki on guitars, Cesar Arakaki on drums, Derek Spaldo on bass) but recently beefed up into a five-piece with PG Six (Tower Recordings, Wet Tuna) on keys, Garcia Peoples are just what our little psychedelic corner of the world needs right now &fun.
"Cosmic Cash" effortlessly heaves joy. The low-key vocal.

A 70s Italian record that is as famous for its beautiful triple-fold gatefold cover (by well known Italian illustrator Guido Crepax) as it is for the music inside!

"In the body of work of Cologne artist Wolfgang Voigt - who, like few others, has informed, shaped and influenced the world of electronic music with countless different projects since the early 1990s - Gas stands out in particular, a saturnine sound cosmos based on heavily condensed classic sequences. Even after nearly 20 years, the sound of Gas doesn't seem to have lost any of its luster.
Rausch was created as a single composition. The intention is to listen to the album as a whole from beginning...

So, I�m looking through the tons of new release solicitations that I look through on a weekly basis, trying not to miss anything, but also with the knowledge that there�s only so much time in my day to pour over this stuff.
And I see the name Julien Gasc and it rings and bell and I rack my brain and I remember that Julien is one of the members of Aquaserge and who I think of as �their main voice�, in terms of the vocals.
This is his second solo album and while the label plays up his connection to.

“Originally Re Eff (pronounced "Ri Èf") was a bunch of texts. One hundred and fifty pages that Julien Gasc wrote by trying his hand at the art of cut-up: a literary and political act of counter-fiction based on William Burroughs's method. It was also Julien Gasc's response to the isolation of 2020, while he was seeking refuge in the Southwest of France, with time and a piano. For a long while, it hadn't been about songs, but about expressing the indescribable by cutting randomly from books and his own...

"Yonatan Gat is a guitarist, producer and experimental composer based in NYC. Gat became known as one of the world's top performers as founder and guitarist of Monotonix, hailed by SPIN as "the most exciting live band in rock’n’roll,” with concerts that destroyed the border between performer and audience, and were controversial enough to get them banned from playing their home country of Israel.
Gat then relocated to New York City. He began recording and performing as a solo artist, and in 2014....

An early 80's release by this keyboardist who rightly made a name for himself playing with Magma, Heldon & Weidorje! This crosses the sound of Magma & Heldon.

Players include Richard Pinhas, David Rose, Bernard Paganotti, Christian Vander, Didier Batard, Jean-Pierre Fouquey & more!

“This is the first official reissue of this extremely rare album, originally released in 1978 on the Brutkasten label. A very varied fusion album, 'Im Tal Der Emmen' blends Embryo and Zappa/Mothers like rock and jazz mixtures, with a rich instrumental palette, full of solos and invention. Mostly it intended to sound like an instrumental Out Of Focus (Freeman Brothers in 'The Crack In The Cosmic Egg'). The album has this charming kraut/fusion style.
The sextet line-up resulted in a very rich sound...

“Limited hand numbered edition of 500 in golden audiophile CD.”

“In 1969, I was commissioned to make all the music and organized noises for nineteen looped films to be run in the British Pavilion at Expo 70 in Osaka, Japan. The overall concept was to have all the films running in fixed positions so that the individual visitors would ‘mix’ their audio and visual experience by the speed and direction of their movement through and around the environment.
Since most of the ninety-second films...

"These recordings were originally released on cassette by Touch in 1984 with the exception of "Parts Of My Body," released on a single by Canal Records in 1979. Performed by:

After In A Glass House, Giant and their record label made a concerted effort to 'break the band' in the USA, and the band toured here constantly. Signing with Capitol, they released 3 great studio albums that gave the band a slightly more rockified and accessible face, without losing a whit of the complexity of their earlier work.
Free Hand was their seventh album and was the middle one of that trio and it is one of many extremely fine works in their catalog. It rocks like hell and incredibly...

“In 1977 Gentle Giant recorded their ninth studio album The Missing Piece. It was a time of change. Punk, disco and rap were altering the musical landscape and even this well-established progressive rock band were willing to explore new directions. Side one saw them experimenting with quirky pop ("Two weeks in Spain"), a grandiose power ballad ("I'm turning around'), syncopated funk ("Who do you think you are?") and even the punky aggression of "Betcha thought we couldn't do it" Normal service was...

Unreleased late 1960s live and studio sessions by Geronimo Black, a Los Angeles band which featured members of The Mothers of Invention (Jimmy Carl Black, Bunk Gardner, Ray Collins, and Denny Walley) and main songwriter Andy Cahan, part of Dr John's band at the time. The included CD has the entire album plus four bonus tracks!

“These previously unreleased live and studio sessions are a loose exercise in spontaneity, and sheer art, which has been lost in the mists of time.

"Returned from early '90s Japan are the holy sounds of Ghost. Their collective, clearly inspired by various forms of transcendental music throughout history, created a new syncretic psychedelia with these albums, mixing the texture and vibe of multinational forms of traditional music, with strummed antique stringed instruments and the haunting wail of a recorder on top of their heavy beats and guitars. The considerable depth of this approach was explored through 2014 over another five Ghost LPs, as well as

First-ever reissue of the first by this Philadelphia electro duo!

“Philadelphia experimental duo The Ghostwriters resurrect their 1981 LP of minimalist mayhem, Objects In Mirrors Are Closer Than They Appear.
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...

Kris Gietkowski, who plays all the instruments here, (keyboards, bass and drums) is obviously fascinated (read that as FIXATED) on THE POLITE FORCE by EGG.
This gets an “A” for its nearly unerring accuracy!

“Kris is back with another album, which picks up where his first one, 'Egg', left off - not least in that it includes a cover of 'A Visit To Newport Hospital', taken from Egg's own follow-up LP 'The Polite Force', but Kris takes things on from there with two self-penned tracks, which...

"Editions Mego's 250th release continues its ongoing legacy of cross-pollinating and perverting various threads of radical 20th century music whilst concocting and propelling further ideas into the nebulous region where we all currently reside. With Ex Nihilo, Editions Mego resumes its enduring relationship with long-term collaborator and stalwart representative of the label's aesthetic with a new release from London's most charming deviant occupant, Bruce Gilbert (formerly of Wire, Dome, etc.)....

For minimalism fans like myself, this album is sort of a minor holy grail.
"This new vinyl release from Orange Mountain Music presents Philip Glass' first concert ever in what the composer considers his 'debut.' The concert took place on May 19...

“Philip Glass Solo is a collection of Glass performing some of his most enduring and beloved piano works. Recorded during the outset of the pandemic, the storied musician dedicated his new found time to revisiting some of his older piano music, occasionally reacquainting himself with these old friends, playing them for an audience of one in his home studio in New York. It is his most personal record to date, offering a snapshot of his life, and a portrait of daily practice over eight decades through...

Mike Littrell-guitar
Cale Koester-bass
Brad Schroeder-drums
and they even sort of operate somewhere in the same basic sphere of instrumental math rock / post rock, although now is now and then was then. Y'know?
But they are a great little outfit as listening to either of the two clips below will show you and can safely recommended to fans of 'modern, non-retro' progressive rock, ala Us, Today or Crown Lar
