First ever reissue of this mega rare monstrosity; and this reissue has been very well done.

"This long out-of-print holy grail private press album, originally released by the late Abdul Wadud himself in 1977, is finally being reissued on vinyl. The release date is what would have been his 76th birthday.
There really is no easily comparable album in existence. Abdul Wadud used the cello to make music in a way that was never fore-sought for the instrument, and this album was the first...

The songs covered here give you an idea of the rock / underground rock vibe featured here: Little Wing, All Along The Watchtower and Willie The Pimp!

"Hasse Walli is the legendary guitarist behind early Piirpauke and Blues Section. Between these two groups Walli had a short-lived quartet called Zeus, whose short lifespan lasted from 1972 to 1973. No studio recordings exist, but the band did record a live session on air. After laying in the archives for 45 years Svart are proud to present the...

This is the 1st solo album by the wonderful and wonderfully talented bassist and singer/songwriter Ellen Andrea Wang, known to most of you as the leader of the Norwegian band Pixel.

This is really nothing like Pixel, but you can certainly...

Excellent instrumental jazz/rock band that channels Headhunters with classic helpings of Weather Report on top. Really enjoyable retro-fusion fun that seemingly came out of nowhere; when the clavinet kicks in with the bass clarinet on top, you’ll swear it’s 1974 again!

"The jazz fusion group Wasafiri, and its resulting 2022 debut album Klearlight, began with the memory of a feeling. Eastwood Music Group co-founders Luke Sardello and Skin Wade wanted to release a project that evoked the feelings...

Post punk / post-rock supergroup who play a mostly instrumentally based post-rock / progressive rock / soundtrack-ish music, reminiscent of the groups they come from: Tortoise, Grails, Slint!

"When Watter first appeared fully formed in 2014 as a trio featuring founding members of Grails and Slint, most assumed the mercurial group would vanish into the ether just like the foggy echoes of sound they crafted on their debut album, This World. Instead, they toured the US with their longtime friends in..

“Recapturing the melancholy of her early work whilst propelling it forward, she sketches scenes as we watch new colours, shapes and languages emerge and fill the frame. Love In Constant Spectacle sees her take measured steps towards a vivid, dreamlike record, that offers resolve in the face of life’s inevitability.
The foundations of Weaver’s sound are still evident – lush motorik drums, pulsating bass, custom modded synths and exotic fuzz pedals - but the stream is awash with scrabble piece poetry...

This is the first-ever vinyl reissue from the orginal analog master tapes! This is a Cosmic Courrier Kraut classic. Wegmuller was an artist who had designed a Tarot card set, & the music here is performed by what is basically the first version of the Cosmic Jokers: Manuel Gottsching, Hartmut Enke, Harald Grosskopf, Jurgen Dollase, Jerry Berkers & Walter Westrupp.
Produced by that big Cosmiche Joker himself, Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser, & star-maiden Gille, there are many moments of wild, searing Krautrock!...

Dan Weiss-drums, compositions
Trevor Dunn-electric bass
Ben Monder-guitars
Matt Mitchell-piano, synths
Craig Taborn-piano, Fender Rhodes, synths

This is a pretty incredible, rehearsal-intensive, 'math-jazz' release with by a tremendous line-up. Compositionally & performance-wise, it basically sounds a jazzier, recent-era Present. Hugely recommended!

"Starebaby is the upshot of drummer Dan Weiss's long-running dream to bring together some of the most accomplished players

This is a new project by Ketil Einarsen, who has played flute in Jaga Jazzist, Motorpsycho & White Willow.
This is sort of a very loving homage to 70s Krautrock and while it features a different cast on each song, drummer Mattias Olsson of Anglagard is on every track. Also featured are musicians from Gosta Berlings Saga, White Willow, Wobbler and more!
The retro Krautrock influence and sound is tempered by also having a strong element of Jaga Jazzist in the melodies; sometimes it's like 1975-era.

“G. Calvin Weston has blazed a harmolodic, funkadelic trail through modern jazz. Listen to the man who funked-up Ornette Coleman's Prime Time Band in the 1980s and worked with legends such as James Blood Ulmer,..

"White Willow's fifth studio album, 'Signal to Noise', was mixed and produced by Tommy Hansen (Helloween, TNT, Pagan's Mind, Circus Maximus). The line-up features singer Trude Eidtang (vocals), Lars Fredrik Froislie (keyboards, electronics), Jacob Holm-Lupo (guitars), Ketil Vestrum Einarsen (woodwinds), Marthe Berger Walthinsen (bass guitar) and Aage Moltke Schou (drums, percussion).
The band took three weeks to record this instead of one year, but they have still managed to produce a multi-layered...

Benoit was the keyboardist for Magma from 1975 to 1978. Additionally, he released a few solo albums in the mid/late 70's, of which this was the first. A keyboard/Moog-dominated record that at times gets amazingly heavy in a wild screaming synthi fusion way and at other times is very wonderfully atmospheric. It is perhaps comparable in timbre and tone to Jan Hammer's best work post Mahavishnu. Some of the material is solo and some features some unbelievably great guests.
If you are a fan of 70s music..

Klaus Wiese was a member of Popol Vuh during the time they recorded Hosianna Mantra and Seligpreisung, two pretty great ones.
On his own, his albums are ambient-type albums where he performs on voice, zither, tambura, harmonium, singing bowls, etc.
This limited edition release marks the first time it has been released on vinyl (it was first a cassette only release in the 80s and previously came out only as a CD-R).
“Klaus Wiese (1942 - 2009) was a veteran e-musician, minimalist, and multi

It’s now more than 50 years later and so it’s obviously time to celebrate what is my favorite album by one of the most important Scandanavian bands of the 70s!
What was originally the 1st 2 sides of the album are especially wonderful, organ-driven, song-oriented progressive, like the best of Caravan from the same period (1971). If you are a fan of this album, you need this hugely expanded version.

“To create the anniversary package we teamed up with Jukka Gustavson and went through a...

"...a beautiful, strange psych-prog LP with abstract compositions, experimental edges and some funk hints"-Mutant Sounds

"A reissue of Wild Havana's self-titled album, originally released in 1977. Obscure Dutch private pressing of laid-back instrumental psychedelic/progressive sounds with jazz-funk-groove and abstract/experimental/Latin-indigenous touches. Stoned homemade atmosphere with treated/distorted electric and acoustic guitars, flute, electric piano, primitive drum machines/homemade...

“Drummer and composer Tony Williams' adventurous 1965 album Spring-his second as a leader for Blue Note-found him convening a stellar line-up with saxophonists Wayne Shorter and Sam Rivers, pianist Herbie Hancock, and bassist Gary Peacock. The five Williams originals presented here offer the musicians spacious realms in which to go exploring. This Blue Note Classic Vinyl Edition is stereo, all-analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes, and pressed on 180g vinyl at Optimal.”

Very, very good and completely retro-style symphonic progressive rock. Willowglass is Andrew Marshall on electric, acoustic, 12-string and classical guitars, analog keyboards (yes, Virginia, including lots and lots of mellotron), bass and bass pedals...

"Following their superb first album 'Seasons' on the budget label "+plus+", German band Wind released 'Morning' on CBS. 'Morning' had a different folky and lyrical fairytale atmosphere.
Opening track 'Morning Song' sounds like a mixture of Procol Harum and Genesis in their early days. 'The Princess And The Minstrel' is one of those songs you do once in your musical life, a lyrical epic piece of music with a chorus you will never forget. 'Dragon Mind', 'Carnival', 'Schlittenfahrt' and 'Tommy's Song'...

“Legendary Classic Rock Band Wishbone Ash famous for their twin guitar sound are seen here with a very special live set never released before on Vinyl. Led by front man Andy Powell the King of the Flying V.
Side 1 Recorded at The Grand in Clitheroe on the 13th October 2010.
Side 2 was recorded at the Fabrik in Hamburg on 21st February 2011.

Side 4 of the Road Works series features the live...

"Beautiful, exact-repro double vinyl in gatefold sleeve of this German duo's fourth and final album, originally issued on Kosmische Musik in 1973. It features a variety of live material from the years listed, including early folk pre-dating their...

"After the success of “Hinterland” in 2005, the band stretched forward to show a truer picture of the band’s inner nature. Many fans were asking for the early demo they did in 2003, and these tracks were re-recorded with the full band for “Afterglow”. The strong influence of black metal can be heard both in the surprising power and aggression of some sections, as well as the structure and tonality of many of the riffs. Paradoxically, “Afterglow” was also a more dyed-in-the-wool proggy prog rock album...

Third from one of the best retro-symphonic rock bands today, Wobbler emerged with their first album in the early 00s and their sound instantly gained them an international following. This new one veers a bit closer to the classic Yes sound than their past works, but its still recognizably Wobbler.

For “Rites at Dawn” it was time for a change. Wanting to up their game both musically and sonically, the band took their sweet time to hone their new material and to record things as pristinely as they..

“Dreams In Splattered Lines fuses together Wolf Eyes' 25 years of DIY electronics with the avant-garde sensibilities of Fluxus and the granite of dreary Midwestern life. Continuing some of the ideas explored on the Difficult Messages record of collaborations, the result is a surreal dreamscape of disorienting sound collages, where hit songs are transformed into terrariums of sonic flora and decimated fauna. As if pulled from a fever dream, the surrealists of the 1960s converge with alien electronic blues...

"Wooden Shjips, long-time leaders of the contemporary psychedelic movement, expand their sound with V. On their fifth album the quartet of Ripley Johnson (Moon Duo), Omar Ahsanuddin, Dusty Jermier, and Nash Whalen augment their already rich sound with laid back, classic summer songs. Inspired by the tumult of the modern world, and the desire to offer a contrasting vision of peace, the band has created a record that filters their trademark hypnotic grooves through an optimistic lens, resulting in music....

First-ever vinyl reissue of this classic, total art-punk/art-damage title.
When Henry Cow fell apart in the summer of 1978, the main players in the band dispersed. Fred Frith left England to settle in NYC for a good number of years, getting...
