Nakibembe Embaire Group - Nakibembe Embaire Group vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) “In Nakibembe, a small village in Uganda's Busoga kingdom (one of the country's four remaining constitutional monarchies), locals have long reserved a communal area for musical performances and social events. In the middle of this space lies a deep pit that serves a single purpose: to amplify the embaire, an immense xylophone made up of between 15 and 25 wooden keys that stretches across the trench. Log xylophones are common throughout East Africa, but the way the music is played by the Basoga - an... 28-NGNE45.1 $23.00

Parker, William - The Music Of William Parker: Migration of Silence Into and Out of The Tone World (Volumes 1-10) 10 x CDs (due to weight, this price for the USA only) “That William Parker is a bassist, composer and bandleader of extraordinary spirit and imaginative drive is common knowledge among any with an interest in the progressive jazz scene of the past 25 years or more. What's become increasingly apparent, though, is Parker's stature as a visionary of sound and song - an artist of melody and poetry who works beyond category, to use the Ellingtonian phrase. The latest multi-disc boxed set from Centering Records/AUM Fidelity devoted to Parker's expansive... 28-CNRG1020.2 $90.00
Lanzetti, Bernardo - Horizontal Rain CD “Bernardo Lanzetti is a somewhat polarizing figure in progressive rock, with some listeners feeling that his distinctive vocals have ruined perfectly good albums, and others who tolerate or even enjoy his singing. I’m in the latter camp — I first heard him with Acqua Fragile’s second album, Mass Media Stars (1974), and I thought of him as a quirkier version of Peter Gabriel, with a gritty tone and prominent vibrato. When he joined PFM for Chocolate Kings (1975), I had no problem with the change. While... 33-BL 2021 $20.00

Schwalm, Jan Peter / Markus Reuter - Aufbruch vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) “Aufbruch, the title of the debut collaboration between electro-acoustic composer J. Peter Schwalm and guitarist Markus Reuter, translates as "departure" or "emergence." Either definition offers an evocative interpretation of the powerfully immersive soundworld they've conjured together, but even more suggestive is the ambiguity between the two meanings. For the music of Aufbruch feels like both an awe-inspiring journey of discovery and a welling up from the murkiest depths of the subconscious.... 28-RRNS129.1 $26.00
Wasafiri - Klearlight CD Excellent instrumental jazz/rock band that channels Headhunters with classic helpings of Weather Report on top.

Bradshaw-Leather, Don - Distance Between Us 2 x CDs “Not much is known about Don Bradshaw-Leather, but his self-released 1972 LP 'Distance Between Us' is certainly one bizarre egg. It's not without reason that it is included in the infamous Nurse With Wound list of Steven Stapleton's favourite weird records. The four lengthy tracks here are dense, swirling and hellish tapestries of blurred instrumentation, squawking voices and seemingly no layout of progression from point A to point B in various movements (i.e. it's all one giant progression, but almost... 26-DIST 0101 $18.00
