So, let me explain to you why, even though this has never been 'generally released' before, this is one of the great albums by R. Stevie Moore.

As some of you know, the very 1st Cuneiform release, 30 years ago, was by RSM. I chose the songs...

When Stevie first came to the light of the public eye, it was for 3 vinyl releases from the late 70s released on HP Music. This was the final of those 3 vinyl releases and is probably the best of the three of them, even if it isn't the most famous....

“If aliens landed and asked about 'MUSIC' we would head off to find R Stevie Moore to present to them as a gift. 
Since the early 70's until late yesterday afternoon RSM has been creating albums, songs, spoken word and gonzo masterpieces that would seem more like the output of a prolific record label or that of a small country rather than just one person. This triple album Freedom vs Fate showcases the man and his many talents. 
An influence on so many and still awaiting the deserved worldwide..

This was the first Cuneiform release and has been out of print for about 25 years, but we just found a couple while moving stuff around in the very back of the warehouse. Stevie is a rare talent, but he's served best when someone is around to help him...

A more ‘chill out’ album than “Light Echoes” or “Pangea Ultima”, which are my personal favorites, but this still delivers the magic, with the sequencers more subdued than on his more aggressive style. Recommended.

“When a synth master like Steve Moore joins forces with the legendary KPM, magic must materialize. And so it does with Analog Sensitivity: cinematic, enigmatic synthscapes to both haunt and heal.
New York-based multi-instrumentalist/producer/film composer Steve Moore is probably..

Great to see Steve return with a new, non-soundtrack release and to see him adding some unusual guests with unusual instrumentations here!

“Beloved Exile is the new studio full-length by Steve Moore, his first non-soundtrack album in over five years, and his first for Temporary Residence Ltd. A prevalent figure of the modern synth era, Moore cofounded the influential synth- prog duo, Zombi, and has scored more than a dozen feature films and TV shows, including The Guest, Crunch Time, and Mayhem...

Synthesist Steve Moore is one half of the excellent, 70s-inspired, synth/prog duo Zombi. In addition to the six albums released by Zombi, he has a prolific and thriving solo career. This album, released simultaneously with Zombi's latest, Shape Shift, is the soundtrack to a horror film and is one of his great ones, mixing spacey sequencing and droning menace. Recommended!

"Except for a few brief moments of pounding tribal percussion, Moore’s score for Cub is primarily an exercise in epic 1970s...

“Steve Moore returns to the library music fold and it's a total doozy: Cursed Objects is truly sensational prog-synth-wave, featuring epic electronic explorations with chamber music and symphonic flourishes. In keeping with the horror heat of the music contained within, this vinyl release is frighteningly limited, with just 500 pressed for the world. New York-based multi-instrumentalist/producer/film composer Steve Moore is probably best known for his synthesizer and bass guitar work as Zombi, together...

Very good, uptempo Steve synthi-magic. A hair under 25’ long.

“Kompakt announce the return of New York's synth wizard Steve Moore to the label -- pretty much exactly ten years after his much lauded first appearance Bayern Kurve on the Speicher series. Steve Moore is widely recognized as one half of Italo disco-tinged horror-prog project Zombi, his numerous thriller movie soundtrack works (The Guest, VFW, Mayhem, Bliss, The Mind's Eye) as well has his clubbier output on Ron Morelli's L.I.E.S....

"Steve Moore is a New York based musician active in projects such as Zombi and Titan as well as creating under various aliases of his own. After a whirlwind of outstanding releases the last few years, Moore has managed to carve out a following of...

This is the first time ever CD reissue of this very sought-after Norwegian fusion with ties to Terje Rypdal’s Odyssey, and is taken from master tapes [recorded by Jan Erik Kongshaug!].

Moose Loose were an excellent, instrumental jazz/rock rock band that only lasted a few years and produced two albums in 1974 and 1976.
This is an amazing archival discovery in excellent sound that – for me – blows their two (quite good) studio albums away. Eberson and Blix just tear it up. If you like 70s electric jazz, this is a must-own...

“New York-based composer and producer [and former member of Weasel Walter’s Cellular Chaos], Kelly Moran’s intricate, experimental pieces transcend the piano’s more traditional and classically-imposed school of thought. On her new album, Moran augments her pianistic abilities to superhuman levels in order to create a new strain of her singular experimental piano compositions.
Hypnotic and emotive, the coming project solidifies Moran’s role as one of the leading contemporary composers for the piano...

Denis Barbier – flutes
Pierre-Jean Gidon – tenor & soprano sax
Olivier Hutman – piano, electric piano
Jean-Marie Laumonnier – double bass, electric bass
Jean-Philippe Lobrot – drums

This is the first time that this one-and-done French jazz rock rarity has ever been reissued in any form!
This is Euro-styled progressive electric jazz; perhaps a bit comparable to Missus Beastly.

“IKUE MORI and CHRISTIAN RONN are the superlative electroacoustic duo, well... “duo” unless you count the instruments themselves and you should: prepared piano, FX, Buchla and Serge synthesizers. These masters of unrule are radically attuned to time and sound, invoking the personhood of space and object, chordis et machina, as you'll soon discover once their music, laid down at Elektron Musik Studion (EMS) Stockholm, gets loose in your own environ. No meandering muddiness, the precision and...

"One of the foremost Quebec prog bands of their day, Morse Code's discography has sold over 100,000 copies and earned them fans around the world.
EMI sent the band to England for their final progressive rock release, and the result has a larger imprint from British prog groups even if the singing is still in French. Much of the material seems direct while being among the most subtle and clever Simard ever composed, and side 2 may be the finest slab of music they ever did. Even as music was changing...

"One of the foremost Quebec prog bands of their day, Morse Code's discography has sold over 100,000 copies and earned them fans around the world. This, their first Capitol album, features their biggest hits, the symphonic disco instrumental Cocktail for the mass market, and the eleven-minute title track for the progressive rock fanbase. Inspired by Genesis and Yes, from the lush Mellotron to utopian lyrics (in French), this is vintage progressive rock."

This may have had the big disco hit, but...

"One of the foremost Quebec prog bands of their day, Morse Code's discography has sold over 100,000 copies and earned them fans around the world.
After the success of the first album, EMI allowed the band carte blanche to do as they wished with the follow-up, and the result was a progressive concept album largely about birth and death, with the second side taken up by a 26-minute, 3-part suite.

Progressive hard rock band from Québec, Canada. First called "Les Maîtres" from 1967 to 1970, then rechristened "Morse Code Transmission" before dropping the "Transmission" and becoming the better known ‘Morse Code’ who recorded for Capitol in the mid 70s. This, their first, is from 1971.

This marks the first time it has ever been reissued legitimately! Morse Code was definitely the stronger version of this band, but you can absolutely sense the seeds of something interesting and good that would...

The band’s 25th studio album (!) and it finds them back to their original trio lineup. I thought that this was pretty great!

“Considering the tight run of albums since the first part of the “Gullvåg Trilogy” in 2017 – three double and a single album in less than four years – the 16 months wait for Ancient Astronauts must feel like an eternity for the fans. And once again we are amazed at the creative forces and consistently high quality at work here.

"This music was written for a project Motorpsycho was invited to be a part of by Trøndelag Teater in 2015. It eventually ended up as the play Begynnelser ("Beginnings"); directed, designed and dramatized by the independent theatre group De Utvalgte based on a new text written by Norwegian author Carl Frode Tiller. It was produced and performed at Trøndelag Teater in Trondheim with a cast drawn mainly from their ensemble. Motorpsycho played live at every performance with a line-up that included "utility...

"2016 repress of Motorpsycho's classic 2009 vinyl-only release. Repressed with the full package: die-cut sleeve, inside print, printed inner sleeve, and 24x24" double-sided color fold-out poster. This time on clear vinyl. When originally released in 2009, this went straight into the Norwegian Top 20, quite an achievement for a vinyl-only release. After being re-pressed a couple of times, it's now available after being out of stock since 2010. Seven mostly high-energy rockers recorded by the legendary...

This is a lavish (to say the least - and HEAVY) document of Motorpsycho's performance with Stole Storlokken, the Kammerkoret Aurum choir, and Sheriffs of Nothingness at the 2014 Olavsfestdagene festival in the Nidaros Cathedral, Trondheim, Norway. It was captured and released on two 180-gram records, one CD, one DVD containing the full concert plus a 65-minute documentary, and a 24-page LP-size booklet containing the Norwegian lyrics and more, all as a one-time pressing of 2000 hand-numbered copies...

"Since meeting in high school in the central Norwegian town of Steinkjer in the early 1990s, Motorpsycho's founding members Magnus "Snah" Ryan and Bent Saether have embarked on musical progressions over multiple genres, with collaborations, occasional line-up changes, and the development of a global following -- not to mention numerous awards -- cementing their position as Norway's preeminent rock behemoths.

Here Be Monsters is the zenith of the Norwegians' motorpsychodelic tendencies, with the...

“One would think that after the Gullvåg Trilogy -- two double and a single album in a mere three years -- the ultra-productive trio Motorpsycho might be in need of a break of sorts... but on the other hand, riding a golden wave like never before in their 30+ year existence, why stop now? The bulk of the album was recorded in France back before the pandemic, but was added to, tweaked and finished in 2020. The initial idea was to collect big riffs on one album and do a pure hard rock record, but the....

"Previously only available as part of the Haircuts DVD (2008). Remastered for vinyl by Helge Sten. Recorded at the Paradiso Club in Amsterdam in 2002. The club streamed its own recording of the show at the time but presented here is Motorpsycho's own recordings, meaning properly mixed from 24 audio tracks. The centerpieces of the concert were heavily extended versions of old warhorses such as "Hogwash" and "STG", showing a band more concerned with exploring the furthest reaches of their improvisational...

“A reissue of Motorpsycho's Roadwork Vol. 2: The MotorSourceMassacre , originally released in 2000 and since long out of print. In 1995 Motorpsycho was invited by Trondheim freebag jazz combo The Source to share the stage at Kongsberg Jazz Festival. The band´s psychedelic/kraut/prog-leanings hadn´t taken them as far as jazz yet, not to mention the Ornette Coleman-style free jazz stuff The Source were playing, but they were game. This is the result: some 70 minutes of metal overkill, early '70s...

"The first-ever Motorpsycho anthology, released in conjunction with a 2015 retrospective exhibition at Rockheim, Norway's national museum of pop and rock music, in the band's hometown of Trondheim. For the first anthology since the band's formation in 1989, there are as many possible track selections as there are fans, and the band's selection for Supersonic Scientists: A Young Person's Guide to Motorpsycho will likely incite much discussion.

Roughly containing one song from every studio album...

“If Motorpsycho's The Crucible -- both visually and musically -- started where The Tower (2017) ended, one can argue that The All Is One starts where The Crucible ended and thus finishes the so-called "Gullvåg trilogy". That said, The All Is One is so much more than a sequel, and very much a standalone album in its own right. While The Crucible took the band a step further out than The Tower, the new one explores new frontiers, especially with the dark, brooding landscape of the 42-minute epic...

“2019 marks 30 years since Motorpsycho's humble beginnings in Trondheim. Both visually and musically, The Crucible starts where The Tower (2017) ended, but it soon takes on its own hue, and it is clear that it cannot be called a "sequel" as such: this is very much a step further out than anywhere the band ventured on The Tower.
While it is broader lyrically speaking, it is even sharper focused musically and, if possible, even more idiosyncratic and insular than ever: unarguably a Motorpsycho album...

The very very long lived band that is Motorpsycho have changed their spots many many times and this is not what most probably think of as a typical Motorpsycho release.
Having said that, the very first Motorpsycho album I ever heard was their orchestral pop release, Let Them Eat Cake and this has a lot of sonic similarities in terms of song craft, although it lacks some of the orchestral qualities. I like it!!

This is one of the last, great French progressive rock albums of the 70s to receive their first reissue (although still no digital version, dagnabbit!). It’s much more acoustic gutiar based, but it is definitely comparable to Imventions for Electric Guitar; Mouline plays all the parts, but this is in no way a ‘solo guitar’ album!
This was on the ‘coming soon’ list from Musea for 20 years and it never happened; but here it is!

“Who Do You Love The Most? is the young trio's third album in just over four years, and continues in the tradition of their two previous efforts; beautiful and evocative melodies, rich on harmonies, often rhythmically complex textures and a typically folk-like Scandinavian character with the occasional gospel feel. The album's ten songs are all Kjetil Mulelid originals, except for a gripping cover of Judee Sill's "The Archetypical Man".”

"Following in the footsteps of In The Country and Espen Eriksen Trio, Kjetil Mulelid Trio is the third piano trio to appear on Rune Grammofon.

It's not all about Mulelid though, bassist Bjørn Marius Hegge (31) and drummer Andreas Skår Winther (28) effortlessly conjure additional layers, tones, and textures, incorporating a sense of calm; an unhurried yet constantly unfolding sound world which can be said to be distinctively Scandinavian, most typically heard in Hegge's sole...
