This was the sixth 'studio' album (75% of it is live, actually) and back in reinvigorated form with John Wetton, Bill Bruford, David Cross and bad Bob Fripp, who puts in one of his finest ever performances, as does everyone else!

Includes the amazingly great "Fracture", which is worth the admission price alone. But you also get a bunch of other great stuff too. So, a must own.

For many years, this was the only live document of the magnificence of the final lineup of the 70's King Crimson. While its importance was definitely superceeded by The Great Deceiver box set and then, later, mahy other releases, many folks have a great love for this album and now it’s the entire concert! I mean, who is gonna say no to another version of Fracture?

“On June 28th 1974, King Crimson's New Jersey concert was recorded to multi-track tape. 50 years later to the date of that recording...

“Mind on the Run by Basil Kirchin and fellow composer/arranger John Coleman sees it’s first official reissue. The album is one of six albums that Kirchin composed for De Wolfe, and one of four that he released in 1966.
Starting his professional career at the age of 13 as a drummer in his father's big band, Kirchin would go on to go on to a storied career that saw him learn how to experiment and manipulate recorded sound and even be cited as an influential figure in ambient music.”...

Long time Waysiders will remember us carrying (and selling!) a lot of these back when it was originally released on lp-only in 1987. It was a really good one then and it's still a really good one now.

Synthesist Bernd Kistenmacher seemingly came out of nowhere in 1986 with his first album, Head-Visions, a fine 70s-style album of Berlin-style electronic music that was basically the best thing that Klaus Schulze never made.

This was released one year later and was his nearly as excellent...

"The pataphysical toy music of Klimperei, a collective project led since 1985 by Christophe Petchanatz, gets a lot out of many small things - dismantled toys, organs with burst pipes, squeaking detuned guitars, loose broom. Sung in English by Eric Chabert, the songs on Dealings are adaptations of poems by John B. Cornaway (1957-1994), author of Heligoland. Over Chabert's scratchy voice, still manifesting all its vigor, Klimperei unload its makeshift bric-a-brac, convoking melodica, banjo and metallophone...

"Imagine finding a message in a bottle, forty years after it was dispatched. That is what it feels like when you listen to Kluster's Klopfzeichen for the first time, mysterious, hard to decipher, a relic of a time long since passed. The handwriting...

“Mind out of Mind is the second album from Minneapolis-based progressive rock band K'mono. It provides a dynamic journey of sound and narrative as it weaves a tale of a king banished from his own kingdom. While flashes of the band's core inspirations, Yes, King Crimson, and Camel can still be heard at times, the sophomore effort pushes further into other sonic realms frequently drawing comparisons to Pink Floyd, Genesis, and more.
Between the songwriting team of dual front men Jeffrey Carlson and...

Their third release (second by the wonderful, eight-piece edition of the group) and once again, they've topped themselves! How can you not love and enjoy "vivid lysergic joy"?

"Were it not for an almost accidental affiliation with the modern prog rock scene, Knifeworld would surely have been embraced by the indie mainstream years ago. Bottled Out of Eden arrives as the band begin to make inroads in that domain, but rather than imbue their sound with a little Tame Impala-like polish, this is an...

This is a re-working of the unavailable 3rd release by this Ruins offshoot project, led by Tatsuya Yoshida-drums, vocals, with Jin Harada-guitar, Sakamoto Kengo- bass, Oguchi Kenichi-keyboards (of Kenso) & Sagara Nami (soprano voice).
While not quite a Magma-derived as their first, this is still a wild race into Zeuhl territory, with all the throbbing bass, wild, Vander-inspired drumming, & Kobaian-via-Japan singing you could hope for. Really nice & powerful! For better or worse, it has been....

"Koivistoinen's 7th album 3rd version (1973) finds him joining forces with members from Heikki Sarmanto Serious Music Ensemble (Pekka Sarmanto-bass, Heikki Sarmanto-Fender Rhodes and drummer Craig Herndon) plus guitar legend Jukka Tolonen."

"One of the biggest highlights in Koivistoinen's career. And also one of my personal favourites when it comes to Finnish jazz in general. 3rd Version includes four amazing tracks with tremendous instrumental work. The line-up playing here is just incredible....

“This is the legendary Krzystof Komeda Quintet caught live at the Jazz Jamboree Festival in Warsaw in 1963. A marvelous combo featuring some of the greatest Polish jazz musicians, Komeda, Stanko, and Urbaniak were sort of pioneers who effectively opened up a way for jazz in Poland.
Komeda's fluent modern jazz conception was a perfect synthesis between t

“The Turkish free-formers' studio meeting with the German Free Jazz titan Peter Brötzmann from 2008.
The Istanbul-based collective led by multi-instrumentalist Umut Çağlar (also member of Karkhana) and reeds player Korhan Futaci has since its formation in 2008 created an impressive catalog including collaborations/performances with significant musicians like Keiji Haino, Joe McPhee, William Parker, Akira Sakata, Marshall Allen, Evan Parker, Thurston Moore, Michael Zerang, Alfred Harth or Alexander...

Electronic music that fits somewhere between ‘library music’ style and space music that, as it says below, has a definite ‘positive vibe’.

“Caught up in the first wave of pandemic doom/gloom which resulted in a bizarre creative bloom for Patrick, both albums have unique sounds anchored in the immense Patrick R Pärk/Kösmonaut discographies. This one is definitely a Kösmonaut record, however.
Patrick’s ”Contagion Vapors” is a chilled out vaporwave sonic adventure which soothes the worn soul...

"Takehisa Kosugi is an inter-media artist and performer who started his career back in the '60s in Tokyo. With his first band Group Ongaku (free anarchist-conceptual improvisations) he was introduced to the Fluxus avant-garde movement. During the '70s, he was a member of the mystical, psychedelic, droning rock band Taj Mahal Travellers. He co-founded the band in 1969. Since the end of the '70s until now, he has released several solo albums and commissioned works for events and sound installations. His...

We did a deep dig into the lost warehouse to come up with these; they are new and unplayed, but they’ve been sitting for over 30 years and there may be small corner dings, seam splits from travel, etc etc.
These are the original issues on Points East, which was ReR’s pre-CD vinyl label ‘dedicated solely to new music from Central Europe’.

“Deep, eternally haunted compositions, rising like ghosts from the decaying earth, circulating like brittle leaves in the contaminated air.”-rym

A ‘one and done’ Dutch experimental prog band formed in 1977 with their album appearing in 1978. Kracq was apparently an acronym of: King's Ransom And Carmine Queen.
Included in this first ever vinyl reissue (of 300 copies) is a bonus CD of never before released live and studio tracks.

"The re-release of yet another diamond in Europrog’s chamber of obscurities has been brewing for quite some time. Circumvision, the sole progeny of Dutch progsters’ Kracq, is a typical case of atypical...

The great, lost, never to be reissued (why? ask the band and they won't tell you either) first album by Kraftwerk, available in this high quality pirate version.

"After disbanding Organisation (Tone Float, RCA UK-only release/1970) the duo Ralf Hütter und Florian Schneider adopted the name Kraftwerk (Power Plant). The album was recorded between July and August of 1970 in their new Düsseldorf studio. It was co-produced and engineered by Conrad Plank. When released in late 1970 the lp sleeve was...

“Kreidler celebrate the tenth anniversary of their groundbreaking 2009 album, Mosaik 2014, with a remastered edition. Mosaik 2014 -- that's how it is meant to sound. Arrangements that feel right, without it being possible to map everything out, because all of the lines are woven together so intricately, and because the album was recorded mainly in a week of live sessions. Above all, this record has more: more rhythm, drums, percussion; more keyboards, better yet synthesizers that are immediate and cannot...

Third, best known and best album by this Swiss band whose records were all released in Germany and are generally considered part of the kraut-rock movement.
This was originally released by United Artists in 1971, and this issue is by the musicians themselves and taken from the master tapes.

"Krokodil really blossomed with the extraordinary An Invisible World Revealed, an album that took all sorts of ethnic and fusion elements, becoming like a hybrid of...

"This young, semi-improvising power trio -- Tom Hasslan (guitars), Axel Skalstad (drums), and J�rgen Mathisen (saxophone) -- typify a new and invigorating movement currently sweeping across the Nordic region: hard boiled improvisation and strong instrumental personalities bolted onto rock beats and driving rhythms. Equally powerful on record and on stage, Krokofant pull no punches, sounding like some unholy three-way marriage of early '70s jazz rock (Mahavishnu Orchestra, Terje Rypdal, Ray Russell), the...

"Cross-breed a crocodile and an elephant and you might end up with an ungodly hybrid: a Krokofant. Familiar to Norwegians from a popular kids' song, a real life Krokofant would be a lumbering, trumpeting beast with a fearsome array of teeth in its...

"By this time, Martin Küchen’s name is familiar to all those interested in the Clean Feed catalogue, because of the Swedish saxophonist releases by this Portuguese label of his various Angles formations and bands like Trespass Trio or All Included. Now, we find him in a duo with the Slovak, but living in Oslo, drummer and composer Michaela Antalová. The music inside...
