"Prog psych freak experimental rock from 1981. This is the holy grail from Finland with ex-Apollo member Harri Saksala. featuring several other important members of the Finnish underground rock scene."-rateyourmusic

"An obscure collection of various styles like on Plastic Maailma seems very far-out on paper, and that is the essential beauty of it. In spite of its various styles, it is still a very coherent record simply because of the time it was recorded. 44 years after its release...

The first solo album by one of the pillars of the original PFM, This includes some amazing guests: Giulio Capiozzo, Demetrio Stratos, Patrizio Fariselli, Demetrio Stratos, Ares Tavolazzi (all of Area), Patrick Djivas, Franz Di Cioccio, Franco Mussida...

"The seminal 1994 double album Execution Ground, by the original Painkiller with the line-up of Bill Laswell, John Zorn and Mick Harris on vinyl for the first time.
When Painkiller started in 1991, their first two albums Guts Of A Virgin (1991) and Buried Secrets (1992) (both released on extreme metal label Earache) were heavy attacks blending grindcore and free jazz that brought together the musical backgrounds of the three protagonists: drummer Mick Harris had just left grindcore legend Napalm...

"Paladin were a British progressive rock band which released two albums during their short existence (1970-1973). They played in venues across the UK as they worked to develop their sound, performing a mix of rock, blues, soul, jazz, and Latin music. In 1971, Paladin entered the Olympic Studios in London to record their eponymous self-titled first album. The reviews were good, but the sales were disappointing. The album comes across as a smorgasbord sampling of what the era had to offer with a few original

This is two previously unreleased 1974 recordings; Palestine's peak period! Limited edition of 405 copies!

"In 1974, Ileana Sonnabend commissioned Charlemagne Palestine to create a limited edition, double LP in conjunction with a performance to celebrate the opening of her new Soho gallery at 420 West Broadway. Charlemagne made several recording attempts, first at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania where they had a Bösendorfer Imperial Piano in their theater. He recorded "Bösendorfer + Voice"...

"The first vinyl release of Charlemagne Palestine's Godbear, a 1987 solo piano recording originally scheduled to sit alongside Sonic Youth and Swans in the catalogue of Glenn Branca's Neutral Records but eventually released on CD by the Dutch Barooni label in 1998. Although Palestine has worked in an enormous variety of media, his long form performances for solo piano are perhaps his most acclaimed works. Palestine immersed himself in the study of overtones throughout the 1960s, working first with...

One of the earliest (and for many years forgotten) pioneers of minimalism, along with La Monte Young & Terry Riley, This reissues a very rare Shandar lp of very personalized piano music and is my favorite of his works! Highly recommended to fans of early minimalism.

"Unchanging as his music appears to be from the outside, it is constantly renewing it's structure as a natural process."

"Primed with a glass of cognac, Charlemagne Palestine sits at the keyboard of a Bösendorfer Imperial..

"Omminggg and Schlomminggg is the second release by continuous music pioneer Charlemagne Palestine and Grumbling Fur, consisting of London based multi-disciplinary artists Daniel O'Sullivan and Alexander Tucker; the Time Machine Orchestra being the extended drone arm of Tucker and O'Sullivan's experimental avant-pop conception. This double LP captures a performance of the trio at Copenhagen's illustrious Jazzhouse on November 28th, 2016. The pin-drop acoustic clarity of the venue providing an ideal...

"Through the unending fog and beyond the impassable door, a voice emerges. Charlemagne Palestine, writhing in uncontrollable terror, moves to ward off the demons for the sake of the listener by howling through the void. Janek Schaefer bellies a haven...

“Palo Alto's tenth album was born from two ambitions: to pay tribute to Soft Machine's Third (1970) on form (four sides/four titles) and to philosopher Gilles Deleuze (Difference and Repetition is the title of his thesis) on the contents. The four long pieces of this double concept album were developed over two years and each has a different style and climate. Bold and kaleidoscopic, Difference and Repetition perfectly synthesizes the musical and literary obsessions of Palo Alto. Difference and...

"The original soundtrack of Amore (1973), a film by Henry Chapier, composed and performed by Vangelis Papathanassiou, this is a previouly unreleased recording dating from July 1973.
Vangelis Papathanassiou was the composer of the group Aphrodite's Child, he composed the band's music and the songs of Demis Roussos. He made some groundbreaking electronic albums in the 70s and later Vangelis became famous for the soundtrack of the film Chariots of Fire (1981) as well as by teaming up with Yes vocalist...

Fifth album from this Danish psychedelic / Kraut-rock inspired power trio. There's points where this sounds more like Neu! (a slightly kinder, gentler Neu!, but Neu nonetheless) than anything else I've ever heard!

"As summer gently passes, Papir make sure we get to embark on at least one more major psychedelic trip before the season ends. Whether your favorite getaway includes driving around the country admiring various landscapes, going somewhere in the woods with a lake and meadow nearby...

“First vinyl re-issue of Evan Parker's duo with George Lewis. Transferred from the original masters, Otoroku has discovered that the original Incus LP was cut at the wrong speed -- and so, here is the first vinyl issue of the correct masters, or "mastas" as Adam Skeaping, legendary engineer who is also responsible for Six of One and Compatibles, fondly calls them.
Skeaping, always working with the latest in recording technology for the time, has a knack for gaining access to remarkable spaces. Good...

"Slight Freedom, Jeff Parker's first ever solo record, presents the first opportunity to hear the guitarist in fully self-revealed circumstances. Recorded in 2013 and 2014 in the Hollywood Hills as he relocated from Chicago to Los Angeles, Parker combines the dark tonal palette and percussive attack he's known for with real-time processing elements and field recordings, deftly crafting a unique world of solo guitar music - multi-lingual, mysterious, alive with extraordinary sonic events, with a sturdy...

William Parker: bass, trombonium, shakuhachi, compositions
Daniel Carter: trumpet, alto & tenor saxophones, clarinet, flute
Hamid Drake: drums

“Painters Winter features the reconvened trio communion of Daniel Carter, William Parker , and Hamid Drake. Carter & Parker have been perpetual space-ways traveling companions since first meeting & immediately beginning to channel music together in early 1970s NYC.
Their work together in Other Dimensions In Music with Roy Campbell...

"The first release by Transversales, a French label based in Paris founded by Sebastien Rosat and Jonathan Fitoussi, is the original soundtrack of the film Rock, composed in 1982 by Bernard Parmegiani (1927-2013).
Parmegiani was a major figure of electro acoustic music and member of the historic GRM (Groupe de Recherches Musicales) where he composed an important work of concert, among which is the masterpiece: De Natura Sonorum. The work of Parmegiani, a virtuoso of the magnetic tape, is widely...

This is an amazing archival release by the underground Swedish band who later became Trad, Gras Och Stenar and International Harvester. Influenced by Terry Riley's 1967 Swedish stay when they played with him in their High School band (!), this is very early (1967-68) trance/drone/ psych/minimalism/hippie rock of extremely high quality.
None of their music was ever released in their lifetime, and this fine collection of live & studio recordings is of quite good to great sound quality, & immense...

This was the second and final album from this unusual German band, which originally came out in 1973. They were a progressive rock band with heavy folk elements; electric instruments are there, but there is a lot of strings here and the final result is...

“This is Hermeto Pascoal's remarkable, self-titled debut album. Recorded in 1970 at A&R studios in New York, the album features certified North American titans including Ron Carter, Hubert Laws, Joe Farrel, and Googie Coppola, and Brazilian stars Airto Moreira and Flora Purim (who also produced the album).
While it was Hermeto's first album released under his own name, he had spent the decade or so prior making a name for himself in Brazil and internationally as a composer, arranger and...

"Souffle Continu Records present a reissue of Jean-Francois Pauvros and Gaby Bizien's No Man's Land, originally released on Un-Deux-Trois in 1976. Whether it is with the label Palm, or for Un-Deux-Trois, Jef Gilson has produced some of the best albums of French free jazz and improvisation. But that's not all: he also offered perfect recording conditions enabling some of the fresh young talent to emerge, including Daunik Lazro, André Jaume, and Jean-François Pauvros, all three of whom released their first...

“After her stunning, groundbreaking album X-Dreams received wildly enthusiastic critical reviews and attained nothing less than complete public indifference, composer, singer, songwriter, and pianist Annette Peacock was at an artistic crossroads. While she wasn't willing to compromise her musical vision, for financial reasons she needed to expand her view to include what she perceived to be the popular music of the time: Steely Dan, Rickie Lee Jones, et al. (Apparently her vision did not include the....

“The 50th anniversary of Pearls Before Swine's second album, Balaklava, is celebrated with a restored edition of the original release. Original engineer Richard Alderson provided careful remastering, and we went back to the sources to get the album graphics clean and clear. Balaklava was a virulent anti-war statement, building upon the sober aspects of their best-selling debut, One Nation Underground. PBS leader Tom Rapp passed this year, so to his memory we dedicate and cherish this returned...

1973 second release by this German band who moved from Bacillus to Phillips for this one, featuring lots of great dual heavy organ, violin and guitar work, vocals, bass and drums, as well as touches from flute.
