Rob is the leader and main composer of the very excellent Wei Zhongle. This solo album features him as a 'multi-dimensional multi-instrumentalist sings ethereal folk ballads with a voice defiant of taditional Western tones."

"Black vinyl LP in electric mango jacket with UV gloss coating over opalescent grey portrait, includes IARC obi strip and dome pattern inner sleeve. LP insert contains lyrics and credits with doodles by Rob Jacobs."

“A cast of friends and extended family rework compositions from Jaga Jazzist’s ninth studio album “Pyramid” (2020), a record that saw the legendary Norwegian eight-piece take a deep dive into post-rock, jazz and psychedelia influences. Cosmic disco royalty Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas, André Bratten (Smalltown Supersound) and OKIOK bring the club-ready heat. Meanwhile, OKR of Once And Future Band, Ian Chang (City Slang), Paul Bender (Hiatus Kaiyote) and Swedish producer Petter Eldh – a regular...

One of the great and moment-defining albums of the early 00s gets a loving reissue!

“The Stix by Jaga Jazzist gets the 20th Anniversary reissue treatment on cult British independent Ninja Tune. Originally released in 2003 by the legendary Norwegian eight-piece this new 2LP edition arrives on deluxe orange & red translucent vinyl. Jaga Jazzist have been a beacon for musical fusion and hybridity for nearly 30 years, each of their albums characterised by a curious, experimental spirit and an...

“Never before reissued, this legendary 1968 EMI recording is a revered Indian jazz rarity; a collectors' holy grail. Raga Jazz Style is an original Indian excursion into Indo-jazz fusion. A one-away recording from the almost unknown Bombay jazz scene, it is among the few jazz LPs to hail from the subcontinent. Closely contemporary with the UK-based explorations of Amancio D'Silva, John Mayer, and Joe Harriott, Raga Jazz Style takes the melodic, scale-based raga system of Indian classical music and...

"There's not another record on the planet that sounds even remotely like vibraphonist Khan Jamal's eccentric, one-of-a-kind masterpiece, drumdance to the motherland. in its improbable fusion of free jazz expressionism, Black psychedelia, & ..

The second, final and definitely much more whacked album of the two by this (acid) folk/progressive trio who released this to complete indifference on Transatlantic in 1971. Derek Noy wrote the material, sang lead and played guitar, trumpet, trombone and 'zelda chord', Denis Conlan played drums and Michael Bairstow played flute, clarinets and saxophones. There were also some excellent and at times really odd orchestrations. Three long tracks here. Wonderful to see this reissued legitimately and rather...

“An outstanding yet obscure release by two Art Ensemble of Chicago members, multi reeds player Joseph Jarman and drummer Don Moye, along with legendary bassist Rafael Garret (mostly remembered for his presence on Coltrane's masterpiece Kulu Se Mama) and young lion Craig Harris on trombone. Four great individuals digging deep between ancient African rituals and modern urban multidimensional grooves. A tribal ecstatic sound based on a multitude of instruments: reeds, bamboo flutes, didgeridoo, trombone.....

Frank Lowe – tenor sax
Billy Bang - violin
Rafael Garrett – bass (1-6)
Wilber Morris – bass (7-11)
Dennis Charles – drums (1-6)
Thurman Barker – drums (7-11)

“For the first time reissued on vinyl from the original masters, here is the Jazz Doctors session from 1983 that was released on LP as Intensive Care."

“Saltern's latest offering marks the first-ever release of "lost minimalist" Terry Jennings' visionary 1960 composition, Piece for Cello and Saxophone, as arranged in just intonation by legendary composer La Monte Young for renowned cellist Charles Curtis.
Born in Los Angeles in 1940, Jennings was a close associate of Young, Terry Riley, and Dennis Johnson, and an early adopter of minimalist tendencies, creating slow, sustained music, influenced by jazz, modalism, and late romantic classical music...

Sven-Ake Johansson - vocals
Alexander von Schlippenbach - piano
"Trost present Schraubenlieder, unreleased songs by Sven-Ake Johansson and Alexander von Schlippenbach from 1988, recorded by Radio DRS Bern."

I saw Chuck Johnson perform about a few years ago, and he was really terrific. He was doing the post John Fahey thing, except he was doing it on an electric guitar (not just an electric guitar, but a Fender Telecaster) and making it work and carefully also using pedals to give what he was doing it's own flavor and bite.
This was the record I bought from him at the show and it’s different from what I saw, but really great.

“"Chuck Johnson's impact on the contemporary guitar world continues...

“The follow-up to Chuck Johnson's acclaimed Balsams LP, The Cinder Grove delves further into the compositional possibilities of the pedal steel guitar. This halcyon collection of tracks draws on a wider palette of sounds, adding strings and piano, to dive deeper into the sound bath of Johnson's meditative music. The Cinder Grove is a profound, affecting statement on the nature of loss and irreplaceability as well as a major addition to the canon of Johnson's work. It's a suite of requiems for lost places...

Glenn is one of the pioneers of the wave of acoustic players who emerged post-Takoma Records in the 90s. He’s always a great listen!

“The Giant Who Ate Himself And Other New Works For 6 & 12 String Guitar is Glenn Jones at his most vivid, exploring memories old and new through beautifully woven threads of melody. His unparalleled skill and creativity exhibits the mastery Jones possesses of his craft, further cementing his position as a pillar in American Primitive guitar music. Recorded in New....

Originally released in 1972 on Transatlantic progressive rock label Dawn, Jonesy were an early 70's progressive rock outfit whose albums were delicate, melodic affairs, somewhat similar to King Crimson and with a lot of mellotrons.

“Jordsjø is a duo from Oslo, Norway inspired by old horror movies, German 70s synth music, Swedish prog, fantasy novels and Norwegian nature. After three cassette demos, the album “Jord” was what the band considers to be their first “proper” album. Up until that point, the band only sold homemade tapes to friends and a few die-hard collectors - but Jord got a bigger audience, also outside Norway.
The band has never been happy about the mix, done quickly with the intent of only a tape release – so...

Extremely good, modern Scandinavian progrock, with a lot of inspiratio from the good ol' days. This comes from compiling three cassette only releases (just like the good ol' days!)

"Featuring members from a.o. Tusmorke, Black Magic, The Switch and Dr. Kay & His Interstellar Tone Scientists, Norwegian outfit Jordsjo plays symphonic folk and progressive rock. This self-titled double-LP contains the tracks from the band's three cassettes (issued in 2015 and 2016) and adds two exclusive tracks...

"Jordsjø is a duo from Oslo, Norway inspired by Olivier Messiaen, (German) Popol Vuh and Anthony Braxton, via Scandinavian folklore and jazz to early British prog. Following in the tradition of some of the best Nordic rock from the last century, Jordsjø manages to meld progressive rock with fantastic melodies and a folkish twist.
“Salighet” is the band’s fourth proper studio album. Seven new tracks, making up what has to be one of the greatest prog albums of 2023. Here, Jordsjø continues their...

"Minne was the fourth LP by Joy Unlimited from Mannheim; it was recorded in 1974 and released in 1975. It is, as its forerunners �Schmetterlinge� and �Reflections�, a ballet work with progressive music, this time sung in Middle High German. With every...

Until their “SWF Sessions” CD release, Jud’s Gallery were an excellent, unknown and forgotten band of the early 70s. This is the first time their two sole recordings (both for SWF radio) have been released on vinyl.

“Jud's Gallery recorded nine long tracks over two studio sessions in 1972 and 1974. Excellent intelligent progressive krautrock, drenched in occasional classic and heavy blues rock. These songs have been digitally remastered from the original tape to perfect studio quality. Jud's...

Double white vinyl LP pressing at a great price!

“July - the quintessential cult '60s British psychedelic group - is back with a brand new record. While their now legendary eponymous debut from 1968 owed much to the colorful ingenuity of Sgt. Pepper, so July's new creation is a playful homage in it's title and artwork to The White Album, albeit reflecting co-founder Tom Newman's recording base on the Isle Of Wight. The West London group have been praised by successive generations of bands, who...

This is a beautiful, numbered, limited edition of 889 copies of this classic, which is part of the Prog Rock Italia series - mastered from the original tapes on 180 gram vinyl in a beautiful gatefold sleeve.

The the third and final album (in their original lifetime) by this Italian progressive band.

"Without doubt, Vietato Ai Minori Di 18 Anni (1973) was Jumbo's masterpiece. With guests such as Franco Battiato and Lino Vaccina (from Aktuala), they succeeded in a bold merging of heavy...
