Officer! - Paragraphs and Principles CD “Coming out of left field this, is - to say the least – enigmatic; it’s also confident and full of detail, with some 30 musical contributors, constantly changing instrumentation and shifting musical styles, making it musically uncategoriseable. Loosely hung on the work of British composer, improviser and political activist, Cornelius Cardew, it mixes references and re-figurings of some of his work, as well as one straight rendition (Winter Potato No.3) using, apart from almost conventional song... 21-GG 366 $19.00
VRIL - Effigies In Cork CD (Mega Blowout Sale) Nice record by an instrumental trio of Lukas Simonis-guitar, Bob Drake-bass, Chris Cutler-drums, playing music very much in the vein of The Ventures and of twangy guitar / instrumental music of the sixties. The main goal was to:" return to the old work method, rarer today, where the band sits around with instruments, plays the pieces in real time, and works out the arrangements together, and then records them while they are still fresh." The ‘twangy guitar / instrumental rock sound’ definitely brings... RER VRIL1 $6.00
Wingfield, Mark - Proof Of Light Mark Wingfield is a killer guitarist with a great, unique sound. This is high-energy, heavy jazz/rock by a singular voice on the instrument, backed simply by bass and drums; really good stuff! "It's not often an album is released that is so... MJR 071 $13.00

Crooked Oak - From Little Acorns Grow vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) NOTE: Cover has some corner bending and small top seam splitting. “Crooked Oak is one of the very few folk bands who imbued their songs with mystery, power and grandeur. The combination of Steve Evans’ sonorous voice and haunting Irish pipes convert the songs into a beautiful mystical experience. It might compare to the stunning ‘Wild and Beautiful’ by Silly Wizard, with that same captivating majesty of form. Very rare, the late great record dealer and collector Walter Geertsen... 23-SCLP 015 $28.00
Drake, Bob - Planets & Animals CD “A pandemic is just an opportunity for some people to spend even more time in the studio. Bob is a minor cult, and this new CD - exquisitely recorded (in a previous life he was an L.A. studio engineer) is a compact suite of short, dense, twisty, jaw-dropping - and highly unusual - songs; a whirlwind for the uninitiated but still surprisingly accessible. It's his 10th release for ReR, each exploring some new aspect of songwriting, arrangement or production. This time he's added a small menagerie of... RER CTA 026 $15.00
Ribeiro, Catherine / Alpes - No 2 vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only.

The presentation of these foundational LPs, arguably the group's finest hours on wax, fills in a crucial missing link in the canon of psychedelic and experimental music of the 60s and 70s. In a lineage with other uncompromising women singers such as Edith Piaf, Nico, and Diamanda Galas, Ribeiro's is a sound of... 28-ATHY360531.1 $29.00

Simone, Nina - Jazz As Played In An Exclusive Side Street Club (expanded) (Mega Blowout Sale) “Nina Simone's first official album, 1958's Jazz as Played in an Exclusive Side Street Club, is pure perfection, an amazing accomplishment for a 24-year-old pianist arranging and singing studio renditions of songs from her live set. Captured here are moments of intrigue, as Simone magically takes the listener through musical caverns that want to be explored again with repeated spins. The rendition of "Plain Gold Ring" is exotic and draws the listener back, just as the Richard Rodgers/Lorenz Hart... 23-CDGR 295 $7.00

Blum / Murray / Taylor - The Recursive Tree CD John Blum - piano David Murray - tenor saxophone Chad Taylor - drums “The Recursive Tree features a rather remarkable trio consisting of John Blum on piano, tenor-saxophonist David Murray, and Chad Taylor on drums.

Aparicio, Emilio 'Moog' - Expansion Galactica "In 2010, I was searching for old records in the city of Quetzaltenango in Guatemala. I found myself in a dusty basement which had been in another time the warehouse of Iximché, a rock-o-la machines distributor. It was an exciting discovery, two big rooms full of old 45s but also dust and rat's dung. Among some incredible finds, I found two strange private 45s which had been released by local drink company.

Sun Ra - Strange Strings CD (expanded) “Fans of Sun Ra's Space Bop and genre-bending jazz were in for a shock with Strange Strings. Even in the eclectic and sometimes baffling Sun Ra catalog, Strange Strings is an outlier. It's primitive, it's sophisticated, but it's not a gradient of either. It's brutal, yet highly sensitive. Is it music, or just noise? Or noise as music? John Cage could not be reached for comment. Ra had accumulated an arsenal of exotic string instruments from curio shops and music stores.
