Overtone Ensemble - 2 “Tim Catlin formed the Overtone Ensemble in 2012 in order to perform works using his self-made "Vibrissa" instruments. The Vibrissa includes twelve vertically mounted aluminum rods that are longitudinally stroked with gloved hands to produce ethereal "singing" tones. The long sustaining nature of the rods sound and microtonal tunings allow players a sonic palette of complex textures and harmonic complexity.

Hancock, Herbie - Jazz To Funk 2 x CDs So, we are deep into exploitation-ville with this set, but it’s still at least half (one full CD’s worth) a GREAT one. Disc one is actually ‘Kawaida’ by Kuumba-Toudie Heath (aka ‘Tootie’ Heath) which I actually bought new when I was a freshman in High School from my local Waxie Maxie’s!

Arabs In Aspic - Madness & Magic vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) "The seventh full-length release from Norwegian band Arabs in Aspic, “Madness and Magic” offers songwriting that is both mature and whimsical at the same time, innocent and jaded. Rooted in the epic sound of 70s prog and rock bands, Arabs in Aspic carries a mystique about them, while being grounded in earthy sincerity. Featuring a more acoustic approach this time around, the material still holds a good amount of heaviness in its darkly tinged lyrics, as implied by the title, strewn with abundant melodic... 28-KARR190.1 $30.00

Jazz Composer's Orchestra - Music Composed And Conducted by Michael Mantler "German-born composer/trumpeter Michael Mantler and his then-wife Carla Bley were instrumental in developing within jazz the idea of self-sufficiency and independence from established record companies. Their creation of the Jazz Composer's Orchestra, with recordings released on their own label, was the culmination of this endeavor, and the first recording was one of the masterpieces of creative music in the '60s. Mantler had come from the European avant-classical tradition and sought to provide an.. 28-ECMI841124.2 $17.00

Gift - Antenna “THE GIFT first made an impact on my musical consciousness when I heard the majestic CD "Awake And Dreaming" thirteen years ago. That fabulous debut immediately made me their devoted fan. Ever since I always can rely upon Mike Morton and cohorts, because they deliver the top notch records again and again. Their latest disc 'Antenna' (2019) is no exception.

Templeton, Gavin - Ballast Gavin Templeton - Alto Saxophone Joshua White - Piano Richard Giddens - Bass Gene Coye - Drums ***5 STARS*** from All About Jazz "Listening to this disc, one gets the sense that Templeton is baring his soul, playing as if his very life depends on it. And somehow, he's lined up a band with the same attitude. This is what sets Ballast apart.

Keszler, Eli - Stadium The below is the best ‘description’ I could find of this percussion / laptop oriented album. It doesn’t tell you how good it is, so I’m telling you how good it is! CD and vinyl have completely different covers! “For more than a decade, experimental percussionist and sound artist Eli Keszler has dismantled the idea of what a drum can be and how it should sound.

Popol Vuh - Quiche Maya CD This Popol Vuh was a Norwegian progressive rock group, established 1972, who released two albums under that name (this is the second of them) and then renamed themselves in 1974 to Popol Ace in order to avoid confusion with the German Popol Vuh! "In 1973 Popol Vuh moved to the recordings of a second album without Pjokken Eide, who left the previous year to start an (unsuccesful) solo career.

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.

Some trippy originals (‘But Come Tomorrow’ in particular, stands out), plus covers of (oddly) Cashman & Pistilli’s ’Sunday Will Never Be the Same,’ ‘Do You Believe in Magic,’ and a pulsating 'Somebody to Love.’ Tracks come from recordings which resulted in a pair of acetate demos by The Rayne, featuring Paul Martin, Lisa... 18-Void 064 LP $17.00

Pavone, Jessica - Silent Spills “Sometimes I forget to be grateful. When I’m feeling distracted or impatient, my ears start to blur sounds just as tired eyes soften shapes; I hear the overall shape but start to reject the nuances within them, casually allowing the nourishment of total experience to pass me by. Sometimes I need a record like Silent Spills in order to reset myself; a release that takes each gesture one at a time, lingering on the circumstances that bring each moment to be, and depriving me of certain musical devices so...

Brainticket - Celestial Ocean / Live In Rome 1973 : 2 x CDs (Mega Blowout Sale) The great third album (out of 3 great ones and then a number of not so great ones) by this Swiss band who operated in Germany and are thought of as being a 'krautrock' band and who actually were in terms of the music and the spirit, if not actually of German nationality. Everything flows just as nicely as it did in that patchouli-scented, blacklight-illuminated room in 1973.

Kong Lavring - Kong Lavring vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Beautiful reissue of a classic 1977 Norwegian folk / folk-rock release. "Far up north, in the realm of the Norsemen, he ruled. Well, actually he was a band, playing Norwegian folkrock, like few others have done. Not many before them have done so except bands like Convivium and Folque, and then later Ym-Stammen, Storm and Gate. Kong Lavring was different from them all, as they were digging deep into our treasure of ancient Norwegian folksongs. Although electrified, the national tonality of the... 23-PLP 2019 $27.00
Pop, Iggy - The Idiot CD All three of Iggy's albums with David Bowie aboard are quite good. This was the first. "In 1976, the Stooges had been gone for two years, and Iggy Pop had developed a notorious reputation as one of rock & roll's most spectacular waste cases. After a self-imposed stay in a mental hospital, a significantly more functional Iggy was desperate to prove he could hold down a career in music, and he was given another chance by his longtime ally, David Bowie. Bowie co-wrote a batch of new songs with Iggy... 15-Virgin 86152 $13.00

Moctar, Mdou - Funeral For Justice vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) “The songs on ‘Funeral For Justice’ speak unflinchingly to the plight of Niger and of the Tuareg people. “This album is really different for me,” explains Moctar, the band’s singer, namesake, and indisputably iconic guitarist. “Now the problems of terrorist violence are more serious in Africa. When the US and Europe came here, they said they’re going to help us, but what we see is really different.
