Gietkowski, Kris - Symmetric Communication vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Kris Gietkowski, who plays all the instruments here, (keyboards, bass and drums) is obviously fascinated (read that as FIXATED) on THE POLITE FORCE by EGG. This gets an “A” for its nearly unerring accuracy! “Kris is back with another album, which picks up where his first one, 'Egg', left off - not least in that it includes a cover of 'A Visit To Newport Hospital', taken from Egg's own follow-up LP 'The Polite Force', but Kris takes things on from there with two self-penned tracks, which... 26-Strange 14 $26.00
Lowe, Allen / Constant Sorrow Orchestra - America: The Rough Cut CD "America: The Rough Cut is my statement not only on American music and American song, but also my commentary on the way American musicians of all styles handle that old-time music and those old song forms . . . The old things -- not just the blues, but gospel music and pre-blues shouts and language, plus hillbilly/minstrel song and medicine show irony -- reflect a disinterest in the polite trappings of (primarily but not only white) society, an implicit rejection of basic tonal, sonic, and harmonic.... 05-ESPDISK 5082CD $14.00
Soft Machine - Live At The Paradiso 1969 CD (Mega Blowout Sale) Oft-bootlegged, very high quality soundboard recording of the trio version of Soft Machine from 3/29/69 (Hopper, Ratledge, Wyatt) recorded in Holland. Recorded just after the band had finished recording "Volume Two", this is an exciting document of that band performing that material, but really pushing the needles into the red as they do so (the band was famously LOUD at that point in their life) as they rip and ROAR through the material in a way hugely different from the very polite "Volume II".... 23-FloatM6245 $8.00
Taylor, Gregory - Divagate CD “Journeys are often recounted as though composed of a starting point, a goal, and an intervening distance-when that is often only half the story. What of the path between the destination and the point of origin, dotted with sights one didn't take in and courses that strayed from the known path? The return can be more circuitous, full of sideways steps and stop-offs at the distracting attractions once passed by on the way. Divagate provides the final segment of the trilogy begun by Gregory Taylor with... 28-PLLI42021.2 $16.00

Hugo Largo - Huge, Large and Electric: Hugo Largo 1984-1991 : 2 x CDs “Hugo Largo was an American musical group formed in 1984, known for their unique lineup: two bass guitars, a violin and singer/performance artist Mimi Goese. Their sound has been characterized as art rock, dream pop, ambient and avant-rock. Forty years after their formation, no music sounds quite like Hugo Largo. Their hushed, majestic atmosphere-which veers toward ambient dream-pop but emerged from the noisy No Wave scene of 1980s New York-is the result of open-ended exploration and pure vision... 28-MNGP63387040.2 $40.00

Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra - Live on Planet Earth "Ever the loose cannon, the Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra remains reliably unpredictable with their third album for Alien Transistor: renowned for their elaborate and intricate studio recordings, the genre-smashing 18-piece Orchestra didn't even set... 05-N 037CD $17.00
Soft Machine - Third (expanded) 2 x CDs OK, here it is. The landmark. The album. The first album by the 'classic quartet' lineup of the Softs (Elton Dean, Hugh Hopper, Mike Ratledge, Robert Wyatt). Four musicians, four side-long tracks (man, that must have seemed incredibly heavy in 1970 when this was released!). Soft Machine were so sophisticated so early that I think that that may have actually harmed their chance for popularity in the long run. This received a lot of attention and good press upon its release, even here in the USA (I... 28-SNYB687293.2 $14.00
Smegma - 33 1/3 "33 1/3 is Smegma's tribute to their twentieth-century avant-garde and out-jazz influences. The title is one part reference to the happy revival of passionate vinyl listening in the twenty-first century, and one part celebration of over thirty-three... 05-IMPORTANT137 $14.00
Various Artists - Magnetband: Experimenteller Elektronik-Underground DDR 1984-1989 "Inspired by punk and post punk, vibrant scenes dedicated to independent self-actualization by means of self-distributed cassettes - the cheapest and fastest medium - were developing on each side of the Cold War's confrontational line. Albeit, under quite different circumstances. While there was a DIY euphoria in the West, which would also have had ideological motives, subcultures in the East simply had no other means.

Gracious - Gracious CD “Generally there were two kinds of prog, the more open, warm approach of the Moody Blues and Yes, or the darker, difficult stylings of King Crimson and Van Der Graaf Generator. If only someone had the ability to fuse these two schools together as one - imagine what fate would await such a band? Total anonymity it turns out. Gracious's debut is an accomplished and promising platter that shows strong and diverse writing and compositional skills, yet went absolutely nowhere in the marketplace. It's a... 28-UNIJ1422199.2 $17.00
Kovac, Boris - Ritual Nova I & II CD (Mega Blowout Sale) “Boris Kovacs was born in Vojvodina, the multi-ethnic region of what was then Yugoslavia. He studied accordion and saxophone, going on to teach himself many other instruments. On this record he plays mainly soprano saxophone, leaving Jasna Jovisevic to take alto and bassclarinet. Like pianist Slobodank Stevic, she was classically trained, as was bassist Sinisa Mazalica. The drummer, Boris' son Lav Kovac, is celebrated for his very different playing in Howling Owl and with a variety of eastern bands... ReR BK1 $7.00
Pinhas, Richard - Iceland CD “Richard Pinhas' album Iceland was first released in 1979 and is his third solo work, also the first after the split from Heldon. This album seems like a long, inward-looking journey and is like a kind of counter-point to the expansive sci-fi worlds and the bombastic prog of Heldon; on Iceland you will find long, sublime tracks next to short, rougher sketches. Echo guitars, rhythm machines and the washed-out warmth of analog synthesizer sounds create a very peculiar, chilling atmosphere.”... 05-BB 393CD $15.00

Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) I actually had a test pressing of this title, from way back in the Wayside days when we were selling a LOT of releases on Atem! Nice to see it out as it was meant to be out! “The saga of composer Tim Story's 1982 debut is a case study in the shifting sands of the early progressive music industry. Recorded on a Tascam 4-track reel-to-reel in his basement bedroom in Whitehouse, Ohio using a ragtag array of equipment - salvaged vibraphone, pawn shop Les Paul, his mother's spinet piano, a PAiA synth... 28-DAIS162.1 $22.00

"As the preceding album, also in this case the title is a word game. The union of latin verb "ludere", that means 'the act of playing', with the italian article "il" generates a dualism between "il giocare" (the act of playing) and the verb "illudere", that means 'to deceive' or... 19-BWR CD 201-1 $26.00

Work - See CD (Mega Blowout Sale) 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 involved the then just beginning to evolve 'downtown' sound, recording three excellent and high-profile albums for Ralph Records, forming first Massacre and then Skeleton Crew.

Residents - Commercial Album pREServed Edition (expanded / remastered) 2 x CDs This 1980 album, was, for me, The Residents last truly great hurrah. The concept was to make songs of exactly ONE MINUTE in length and this is an album of 50 perfect little masterpieces. Lots of appearances by Fred Frith (he's all over it) as well as guest appearances by Snakefinger, Chris Cutler, Lena Lovich, etc. "After spending a couple of years creating the 1979 album, Eskimo, The Residents wanted a break from the long form abstract approach. They had written a lot of melody lines and... 21-NRT009 $19.00
