Uomo di Pezza, Le Orme's fourth album, opens appropriately enough with an organ prelude joined by a complex and heavy rhythm section. Silence begets a piano melody and then Aldo's beautiful voice enters. The model found on Collage has been rediscovered...

"Orne hails from Turku, Finland, and several members of the project are well known for their participation in the band Reverend Bizarre. Their influences are noted as VDGG, early Genesis, early Floyd, Black Widow, Black Sabbath, Saturnalia, and Wigwam amongst many others, though it should be pointed out that a good deal of the album is much mellower than some of the heavy/hard bands noted above. It has some heaviness but extended mellow sections as well. If you can imagine a mix of "Careful with that Axe...

"In addition to his day job transforming pop music with his own records, as well as those of Gastr del Sol, Loose Fur and Sonic Youth over the past few decades, Jim O'Rourke has been contracted for several dozen film scores over the years as well. It makes sense -- his abilities as an improviser, composer and producer allow him to interpret cinematic moments with a unique understanding for their construction and how they work. It doesn't hurt that Jim's a well-versed cineaste, a complete and total fan...

Sourced from the original master tapes, this legit release of a underground, proto-prog, proto-Krautrock 1970 classic was originally released on Metronome.

"Like a few brave others (Electric Prunes, Spooky Tooth and Eela Craig�maybe the first...

"Osage Tribe were formed in 1971 by Franco Battiato, then working as pop singer, with his loyal drummer Cucciolo, guitarist Marco Zoccheddu who had just left Nuova Idea and bass guitarist Bob Callero...the remaining trio, based in Genova, a prolific...

Really beautiful set with a gigantic booklet in a hand-numbered edition of 1,000 copies!

"We wanted to follow a path that started from those mythical 70s, from that cultural revolution that gave space to a new dimension of counterculture. I also wanted to take up various quotes to ourselves, citations of atmospheres rather than musical in the strict sense, such as the song Tu, dedicated to Danilo Rustici, who passed away in February of this year, which is linked to There Will Be Time....

"Finally the deluxe version of a classic, the debut of one of the greatest bands in the Italian prog field, Osanna from Naples. Formed in 1971 by the members of I Volti di Pietra and Citt� Frontale their debut was L'uomo, released in a memorable triple...

"This film soundtrack was their second album. Most of the album contains prime Osanna, great guitar-led heavy progressive, quiet acoustic parts with beautiful mellotron or flute, etc. In addition they experiment with the use of orchestration in their music, which just as often works as it doesn't. Often it sounds like a juxtaposition of classical music and hard rock rather than the integration of both styles, but the low point of the album is definitely the cheesy pop ballad, that ends Milano Calibro 9....

"Palepoli begins with a pounding medieval drum, which turns out to be the messenger of great things to come. Flute and distant children's voices appear shortly. Next the full band is faded in, playing at full power in a heavy, up tempo, folk rock part...

Numbered edition of 999 copies.
"Forty years after the release of their second album titled "Preludio, Tema, Variazioni e Canzona" Osanna celebrate with the release of this new CD titled "Rosso Rock", recorded live in Japan at the Auditorium "City Club a" in Kawasaki on 6 and 7 November 2011 when Osanna performed for the first time with their new line up (Lino Vairetti guitar and vocals, Gennaro Barba on drums, Nello D'Anna on bass, Pako Capobianco on electric guitar, Sasa Prior on the piano, organ...

This was the first release by British alto saxist Osborne under his own name, and was issued on the very rare (and short lived) Turtle label. It is reissued here from the master tapes in its full glory of two sidelong tracks.
Osborne had been playing with the Brotherhood of Breath, and this album sort of turned into a subgroup of the Brotherhood. Originally conceived in 1970 as a trio disc with bassist Harry Miller and drummer Louis Moholo, when the date actually arrived, along also came trumpeter...

VERY limited lp pressing of this title. Get them now, while you can...

"�Eclipse� is the debut album of OSCILLOTRON. It includes 6 tracks of instrumental, electronic music made essentially with analog synthesizers. The intent behind the album...

Definitely of interest to fans of things released by Beyond Is Beyond Is Beyond, Cave, Wooden Shijps, Hills and other modern spacey / psychy / proggy type things.

"A prog/psych masterpiece by cult Arabian band Osiris, their 1982 debut album. A killer blend of '70s-sounding hard, progressive/psychedelic sounds with long, ripping Minimoog and analog synth attacks smashed into mellow vibes and Arabian folky touches, with hard lead guitar, exotic percussion, floating rhythm section, and English vocals. Osiris formed in Bahrain, the small island country in the Persian Gulf, in the late '70s, but its story goes back to 1969, when talented brothers Mohamed and Nabil...

“First in a series of three records of library music miniatures from composer and multi-instrumentalist Daniel O'Sullivan (Guapo, Æthenor, Ulver, This is Not This Heat, etc).
For heads, the term "library music" in 2020 might evoke dodgy Italian gray market LPs and crate diggers hunting for "funky breaks"-but London's venerable KPM Music is working with groundbreakers like O'Sullivan to open up new avenues for composers to experiment. Electric Māyā includes eighteen gems, beautifully arranged and...

This is quite excellent, somewhat abstract electronic music that is comparable to early Cluster ('71 and II), but, obviously, they are not using 45 year old equipment. Still, it has that feeling and sense of adventurous playfulness!

"The first full length release from Oto Hiax. Comprised of Mark Clifford (Seefeel) and Scott Gordon (Loops Haunt), Oto Hiax follows 2015's acclaimed EP, One. Embracing a series of sonic opposites, Oto Hiax employs electronic and concrete sound to construct a labyrinth..

A living room somewhere in southern Germany. Embroidery graces the walls, a veneer side table with little chrome feet stands in front of a beige velour sofa, a minibar awaits. Pride of place goes to the electric organ which majestically occupies the center of the room, flanked by two oversized loudspeakers.
Welcome to the world of OTTO. The duo comprising Alexander Arpeggio and Cid Hohner released their debut 12"-single -- Greatest Hits -- on the Dutch label Charlois in 2016. It sounded fresh, with...

"Canadian rarity from 1968, recorded under the influence of hallucinogenic substances by a bunch of underground musicians: Michel Pagliaro, Tony Roman, Denis Lepage and Andy Shorter. The album consists of just one long freak-out jam divided in two sides..

"Our Solar System's third full-length via Beyond Beyond is Beyond is perhaps their most transparent and revealing, unobstructed by anything beyond the group's now-masterful commitment to eclipsing the expected. On "Origins," the music is at once rapturous, intense and mysterious. The opening half of Side A ("Vulkanen") offers an almost animal assessment of the power possessed by Our Solar System. With considerable ambience the opening suite finds its balance in a land with similar topographic features to...

Classic second album by this early German band, who released this one in 1971.

"The second, self-titled album is a bit more diverse - the first track is fast, saxophone and organ dominated, relating to the first album, while "It's Your Life"...

“Formed in 1969 in Houston, TX, Oz Knozz's original crew included multi-instrumentalists Jack Alford, Bill Massey and Duane Massey. Alford left the group in 1971 and was replaced by drummer Marty Naul, while the next year the trio was joined by guitarist Richard
