Comelade, Pascal - Le Non-Sens Du Rythme CD “Since his first record published in 1975, Pascal Comelade, a child of the frenzy rock of the '60s and '70s, has developed a profuse body of work including many musical collaborations (PJ Harvey, Robert Wyatt, Jaki Liebezeit (Can), Lee Ranaldo, The Liminanas...) and non-musical collaborations (Jeanne Moreau, Sergi Lopez, Jean François Stévenin, Bob Wilson...)

Nucleus / Ian Carr - Roots vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) “From the wild cover to the iconic breakbeats, Roots is thick, funky-prog jazz-rock heaven. Originally released on Vertigo in 1973. , genius trumpeter and visionary composer Ian Carr was a true pioneer and saw the potential in fusing the worlds of jazz with rock, just as Miles Davis and The Tony Williams Lifetime did in the US. In late 1969, following the demise of the Rendell-Carr quintet, and tiring of British jazz, Carr assembled the legendary Nucleus. Under bandleader Carr, Nucleus existed as a... 05-BEWITH 102LP $33.00

Tiger Trio - Map Of Liberation Joëlle Léandre: double bass Myra Melford: piano Nicole Mitchell: flute, alto flute, piccolo “In any case, these are three strong personalities, determined to face “in concert” the dangers of the musical forest. These dangers, it turns out, lie less within the forest itself than in the reactions of the protagonists facing the surprises and traps of the unknown that they have invented. These reactions can only be good. Creative, if you prefer. For these ladies, also known as Myra Melford... 21-ROG-0093 $16.00
Blurt - At Tilos, Budapest CD “Previously unreleased live album by jazz/post-punk legend Blurt recorded in Budapest, Hungary, in 1993.

Russell, George - Jazz Workshop (expanded) This has been out of print for some time and while pirate editions are out there, this Japanese release is directly off the master tapes and sounds fabulous. Truly one of the biggest deal jazz and/or creative music albums of the 1950s, in my world! Includes two alternate takes, not on the original 1957 release. Great sounding, big budget, late 50s studio recording as well.

Trio Heinz Herbert - Yes Dominik Landolt: Guitar, Effects Ramon Landolt: Synth, Samples, Piano Mario Hänni: Drums, Effects The trio's captivating aesthetic is thanks to a symbiotic intensity of expressio.

Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) “Chuck Johnson is a California-based composer, producer, and musician.

Bertoia, Harry - Clear Sounds/Perfetta vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) This is a great set of ambient, sculptural music with a fascinating story.

Schickert, Gunter - Kinder In Der Wildnis "The fact that this album appeared at all in 1983 owes less to Günter Schickert and more to Steven and Alan Freeman, who sought him out for their Krautrock encyclopedia The Crack in the Cosmic Egg.

Lightning Bolt - Sonic Citadel “Lightning Bolt play with abandon that is unmatched and remarkably undiluted since the duo's formation 25 years ago. They are often called one of the loudest rock outfits in existence, both on record and on (or famously, off) the stage. Brian Gibson creates sounds that are unexpected and remarkably varied with his virtuosic bass playing and his inventive approach to the instrument, centered around melody rather than rhythm. The dizzying fury of Brian Chippendale's drums twist from primal patterns into.... 39-CD-Thrill-505 $16.00
Hyrrokkin - Pristine Origin vinyl lp + download card (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Terrific, avant-progressive/brutal-prog, instrumental power trio from Ohio.

Kraus, Peter / Mark Bird - Satie For Two Guitars (Mega Blowout Sale) “Obscure, and often ridiculed during his lifetime, Erik Satie, the most unusual protagonist of the early 20th century French avant-garde, has transcended cult status and is now a composer whose modernity is at last appreciated. Satie's inimitable, bare and serenely objective music was largely neglected until the eclectic 1960s and '70s when such pioneering figures as John Cage, who was enthralled by the composer's desire to tear up the rule-book, to embrace the absurd and the surreal, and to blend... 23-ACMEM 320 $4.00
Sun Ra - Strange Strings (expanded) 2 x vinyl lps (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) “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.

Cardiacs - All That Glitters is a Mares Nest CD The Cardiacs are a great, long-lived UK outfit, founded in 1977, who combine punk energy with very odd cabaret leanings and a fondness for musical complexity that undoubtedly got them gobbed on even more than usual during the 'age of punk'.

Lennon, John / Yoko Ono - Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With The Lions Hey, it’s well over 45 years later and this still sounds like a crazy racket! But it’s a crazy racket this time, with half of it performed with crazy racket titans of the 60s. The album opens with an improvised recording titled "Cambridge 1969", recorded on 2 March 1969 at Cambridge University, before a live audience. The piece took up all of the vinyl’s side one and consists of Ono's vocalisations and screaming accompanied by electric guitar feedback from Lennon.

Various Artists - Two Niles To Sing A Melody: The Violins & Synths 2 x CDs in digi-book (due to weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) This is pretty great stuff, but much of the music here predates synthesizers in general usage. Expect to hear violins, harmoniums, vocals, hand drums, etc. “In Sudan, the political and cultural are inseparable. In 1989, a coup brought a hardline religious government to power.

White Willow - Ex Tenebris vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) "Ex Tenebris is the classic second album from Norwegian prog legends White Willow, originally released in 1997. It was made after the Ignus Fatuus line-up had disbanded. Originally intended to be a solo album by Jacob Holm-Lupo, it turned into a White Willow record when he realized it was going more in a progressive direction than anticipated. The recording was quick and dirty, done on a shoestring budget, but there is some charm to the natural drum ambience and first-takes-only feel of the album.... 39-LP-KAR-232C $27.00

Davis, Miles - On The Corner (Mega Blowout Sale) Of all the great, crazy-ass albums Miles released in his drug-addled but musically brilliant 1970s period, there was nothing as crazy or as utterly confoundingly brilliant as On The Corner. Completely inspired by Sly and the Family Stone and contemporary, hard-rocking r'n'b, Miles made what I think he thought would be his commercial breakthrough, but he turned it all inside out and made the most conceptually reductionist funk record ever which was also anathema to the jazz world (I seem to... 28-SBMK198475.2 $8.00
