Eloy - Echoes From The Past CD “The twentieth studio album of the most successful German art and progressive rock band Eloy. It is also the third album of a unique trilogy, designed by band mastermind Frank Bornemann as a rock opera about the life and fate of the national heroine and saint Jeanne d'Arc, who in the Middle Ages caused the turn in the hundred-year war against England in favor of the French king, and ultimately ended at the stake.

You can’t say anymore that this project consists of a mix of jazz with punk and metal – the kind of sonic assault heard on “Iron Lung” has an identity of its own, inc CF 402 LP $27.00

Mintzer, Bob - Bop Boy (Mega Blowout Sale) "Unlike Bob Mintzer's '80s offerings on Cheetah (Source and Papa Lips), the band used on this session is a quartet made up of star talent: bassist Eddie Gómez, the elegant pianist Steve Kuhn, and drummer Steve Gadd. On first glance it might appear that Gadd is out of place among these more subtle members of the rhythm section. Being a consummate professional as a studio musician, Gadd is an excellent jazz drummer adding grace, subtlety and tension to a very sophisticated rhythm section... 15-EXP 0019 $6.00

MacLean, Steve - GPS CD (Mega Blowout Sale) "Careful compositions converse with focused improvisations under the precise direction of Steve MacLean who, on this CD, after various excursions that took him through experimental works for piano, interactive insect/guitar compositions and pure electronics, returns to a performing band and a journey through complex polyrhythmic compositions imaginatively intercut with careful, atmospheric inventions, for guitar, bass, keyboard, percussion and various objects.

Popol Vuh - Affenstunde (expanded) Nice reissue of Popol Vuh's 1st album which includes a booklet of photos and more.

Schlippenbach, Alexander von - Three Nails Left CD “One of the all-time great records of improvised music from Europe. Period. Blisteringly hot. Uncompromisingly inventive. Staggeringly beautiful.

Hall, Jim - San Francisco 1986 : 2 x CDs (Mega Blowout Sale) “Described by Sonny Rollins as a forceful and sensitive player and by Pat Metheny as the father of modern jazz guitar, Jim Hall is an enigma. At first what you hear is a mild mannered, proficient guitarist, not too flash, always tasteful. Listen a little closer though and you find an experimentalist, a quiet revolutionary. Howard Roberts played faster, Joe Pass probably had more chord substitutions, but Jim seems to convey more personality with his clean, slightly muted tone, harp-like strumming and... 23-EQ2CD 6011 $7.00
Man - Anachronism Tango CD “MAN from Merthyr Tydfil are probably the most senior band from Wales at the moment. Founded in 1968 from the members of the rockgroup The Bystanders, MAN developed a very independently mixture of progressive and psychedelic rock, blues and elements of US Westcoast rock. Live, MAN was/is known for their excessive jams in the spirit of US colleagues like the Grateful Dead or the Allman Brothers. After a series of very successful LPs, MAN split up in 1977 due to differences of opinions about their.... 21-MIG 02442 $18.00
Orcutt, Bill - Music For Four Guitars CD "In a trajectory full of about-faces, Music for Four Guitars splices the formal innovations of Bill Orcutt's software-based music into the lobe-frying, blown-out Fender hyperdrive of his most frenetic workouts with Corsano or Hoyos. And while the guitar tone here is resolutely treble-kicked -- or, as Orcutt puts it, 'a bridge pickup rather than a neck pickup record' -- it still wades the same melodic streams as his previous LPs (yet, as Heraclitus taught us, that stream is utterly different the second... 05-PAL 068CD $17.00

Faust - Punkt vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) “For the first time ever this lost "last" album recording, Punkt gets a deserved and necessary standalone release.” "The band called it 5½, fans referred to it as the 'Munich album' and for almost fifty years it's been the missing chapter in Faustian mythology. Now for the first time, the German iconoclasts' previously unreleased fifth album sees the light of day as Punkt . . . Punkt is Faust at their most unhindered, untethered and unstoppable.

It was Gillan who said of them: 'Not many bands really excite me. But this one's so raw and completely unpretentious. They make the biggest, bloodiest noise you can imagine, tempered with moments of extreme emotion.' And, of course, he's right -- the music is a menacing combination of over-the-top vocals and screaming lead... 18-Lion 031 $26.00
Tandaapushi - Fire Disposal Nice, noisy stuff by the trio of Léo Dupleix: Keyboards, Laurens Smet: Bass & Louis Evrard: Drums that keeps a beat and a groove and keeps your interest! Completely different, but fans of Schnellertollermeier will probably also dig this. Listen to the track below and hear what I mean! "Tandaapushi is a power trio, playing mostly improvised music.

Chadbourne, Eugene - Solo Guitar Volume 1 1/3 vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Some of this is pretty primitively recorded, but it’s a very early peek into the work of a great and greatly original US maverick guitarist. "Eugene Chadbourne is one of the great guitar players of the modern era. At the time he began recording in Canada in 1975, his music was a unique syncretic formulation. While its most obvious component was free improvisation in a style then most widely associated with English and European players, his music also contained elements of jazz, country, folk... 05-FTR 393LP $22.00

Williams, Mars / Darin Gray / Chris Corsano - Elastic CD “When Mars Williams dove into his vault to excavate several recordings for a Mars Archive series on Corbett vs. Dempsey, he immediately landed on a concert date from a decade earlier. The event, recorded at Chicago's Elastic Arts Foundation in 2012, featured a trio with Williams on reed instruments, Darin Gray on bass, and Chris Corsano on drums.

Dimensions - From All Dimensions CD (Mega Blowout Sale) “Really solid local garage rock. What makes it slightly unusual and above-average is the lack of slow material. Too bad Collectables, in typical Collectables fashion, butchered the cover picture.” “Celebrated Chicago frat-garage LP that's also one of the real rarities of the local mid-1960s LP scene. For those who find the North-East preprock LPs too lowkey this is the remedy - a solid party mood similar to the Raider's best albums with some Stones thrown in.

In 1966, along with Frederic Rzewski and Richard Teitelbaum, Curran co-founded Musica Elettronica Viva, a seminal gesture in collective free improvisation.
