Yamoto, Eri - Sparks 2 x CDs Eri Yamamoto - piano Chad Fowler - stritch & saxello William Parker - bass Steve Hirsh - drumset “Sparks – it's what flew when Eri Yamamoto, Chad Fowler, William Parker and Steve Hirsh got together on a warm October afternoon in Brooklyn. Yamamoto had an established musical relationship with Parker, but met Fowler and Hirsh for the first time an hour before they hit. Fowler, Parker and Hirsh had just finished two days of recording, and Fowler had been recording for four of the... 39-CD-MAHA-027 $16.00
Shipp, Matthew - To Duke Matthew Shipp - piano Michael Bisio - bass Whit Dickey - drums Shipp plays in his own inimitably personal style some of the most beloved of Duke’s compositions, “rewriting” the book and making this excursion uniquely his own. Many greats have tackled Ellington. The one who immediately comes to mind is Monk with his now legendary trio date for Riverside records Thelonious Monk plays the Music of Duke Ellington. The result is fascinating. But unlike Monk doing it his way, though.... 21-ROG-0060 $16.00

Som Imaginario - Banda Da Capital (Live in Brasilia, 1976) vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) “Som Imaginário are the stuff of MPB mythos. Integral to Brazil's Clube Da Esquina movement in the early 1970s, a heady blend of progressive rock, folk, psychedelia, jazz, and traditional Brazilian rhythm flows through the three studio albums the band recorded between '70 and '73. Flying the countercultural freak-flag amid the context of military dictatorship, the Brazilian prog lords shared much of the sense of experimentation and bountiful fuzz bequeathed by their tropicalismo forbearers. But armed... 05-FARO 237LP $31.00
Wishbone Ash - Coat Of Arms "Coat Of Arms, while still heavily featuring Wishbone Ash’s characteristic twin lead guitar licks, haunting melodies and distinctive stylistic facets, is anything but retrospective, evenly balancing the past, present and future while still offering something fresh. The lead single, We Stand As One, is set to release on 10 January, with founding member, guitarist and vocalist Andy Powell describing it as “A real heavy rock anthem in the spirit of Wishbone Ash classics such as The Warrior, featuring... 28-SMHE13827.2 $16.00
Rallizes Denudes - Blind Baby Has It's Mothers Eyes vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Hand numbered, blue vinyl edition. "Massive slabs of distortion inhabit every seam of this monstrously linear album"-Julian Cope. Japrocksampler "Legendary Japanese rock outfit Les Rallizes Denudés were formed in 1967 and incredibly, for a group that had only one official release (Oz Days Live, a double vinyl compilation release in 1973), played their last gig almost 30 years later in October 1996. The band's name apparently means "fucked up and naked," which more than adequately... 05-ASHCLP 3035 $20.00

Tatakai Trio - Happi “‘Cheerful’ starts out with Lindsjö’s clean guitar tones riding on Strid’s rhythmically probing structures. Küchen’s sax starts out inquiringly with clean tones which increase in intensity, reaching full skronk by the 2 minute mark and blazing through to the end of the piece. ‘Grinning’ finds the group dynamics more active early in the track, with the trio quickly establishing their relationships and direction. Lindsjö hits the overdrive pedal shortly after the initial passages, while Strid provides a.... RPR 1070 $13.00
Davis, Kris - Capricorn Climber CD Ingrid Laubrock, sax / Kris Davis, piano / Mat Maneri, viola / Tom Rainey, drums / Trevor Dunn, bass. I know I say this a lot, but holy moly, what a great band of players! "Over the last couple of years in New York, one method for... Clean Feed CF 268 $15.00
Trans Am - The Surveillance CD 3rd album from Bethesda, Maryland's post rock/electronic heroes... "Trans Am's third and most controversial album, The Surveillance, marks a new direction for them as it is the first that they recorded and mixed entirely by themselves. Like their two previous full length releases, this record is a mixture of rock and electronic sounds. However, it features less lush production than Surrender to the Night, instead moving from sparse and paranoid electronic jams to balls-to-the-walls rockers... 39-CD-THRILL-054 $15.00

Ceptic Frog - Ceptic Frog vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) “Ultra-rare rehearsal sessions from 1969 by this South African heavy psych / acid rock band, mastered from a tape transfer — and yet still doom-laden, dark, heavy, and as messy as can be, in all the right ways. Influences from heavy bands of the time, such as Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Steppenwolf are noticeable, with proto-doom and psych/funk undercurrents. Do you like fuzz guitar? You’re going to hear it screaming and wailing and building to epic tidal waves and crashes, the kinds of..... 18-LION LP-189 $26.00
Phillips, Washington - Washington Phillips and His Manzarene Dreams CD in large, hardbound book (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Washington Phillips recorded 16 extant tracks between 1927-1929, all of which are collected here. This is really ethereal music, almost unworldly and impossible sounding for their time, performed on two greatly modified dulcimers and no one else has ever sounded like this . It’s gospel music because of the lyrics, but musically it’s 100% OLD weird Americana outsider music and this can be safely recommended to those with wide, voracious musical tastes. "The mystery of Washington Phillips... 05-DTD 049CD $27.00
Picnic - Picnic CD Tristan Honsinger, cello, voice Jean Jacques Avenel, bass Tiziana Simona Vigni, voice Sean Bergin, saxophone Michael Vatcher, percussion Toshinori Kondo, trumpet "A little-known gem of Dutch free music, Picnic is the brainchild of cellist Tristan Honsinger, who composed all but one of its 12 compositions. Brilliant and whimsical, the tracks bring to mind Honsinger's work with ICP Orchestra, for whom he has also composed extensively. Here he's working in an incredible ensemb CvsD CD029 $15.00
Kyros - Vox Humana 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) (Mega Blowout Sale) “Vox Humana is a double album that released to critical acclaim and is considered an ‘obscure classic’ by those within progressive music circles. Based on a fleshed out rock opera written by Shelby Logan Warne and Joey Frevola, Vox Humana splits the story arc in two distinctive parts across two separate discs. Disc one consisting of more ‘regular’ length songs that build up to the 42 minute gapless epic spread across disc two. Not afraid to take songwriting and musical experimentation to a whole. PLG 070 $22.00
Thompson, Richard - Sweet Warrior CD (Mega Blowout Sale) “After being given his walking papers by Capitol Records in 2000, Richard Thompson has taken a modest approach to his subsequent studio releases, 2003's The Old Kit Bag (a purposefully spare trio set) and 2005's Front Parlour Ballads (an acoustic collection recorded in Thompson's home studio). But Thompson seems to have relaxed a bit with 2007's Sweet Warrior, which boasts a more expansive sound and ambitious reach than those two albums. Produced by Thompson with his longtime aide de camp Simon Tassano... 23-Proper 032 $6.00
Anima Sound - Im Lungau vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only.

Elephant9 - Arrival Of The New Elders CD Ståle Storløkken - Rhodes piano, Hammond organ, grand piano, Eminent 310, Mellotron, Continuum Nikolai Hængsle - electric bass, electric and acoustic guitars Torstein Lofthus - drums, percussion This is really great and spacious and ‘downtempo’ than what I am used to hearing out of them, but an excellent one. It is more ‘reflective’ and not as burning, but I think it’s just as great. “After a solid run of five studio albums and 2019's two double live albums, Psychedelic Backfire 05-RCD 2218CD $16.00
Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. - Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. 2 x 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 first-ever vinyl edition of Acid Mothers Temple's classic self-titled first album. Over the last 25 years no group has been more prolific or dedicated to pushing psychedelic rock to its limits than Japan's Acid Mothers Temple. Their maximalist technicolor vision was first revealed on this, their now legendary self-titled 1997 debut released by P.S.F. Records. Led by Makoto Kawabata, the album contains some of the group's most cosmic, hypnotic and over-the-top material; it kick-started and. 05-BE 009LP $35.00

Rimarimba - Below The Horizon vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Rimarimba was the project of Robert Cox from the UK who released several cassette and/or lp releases in the 80s. Until now, none of his work has been reissued; I have one of his original albums which I’ve treasured since I found it 35 years ago! His work as Rimarimba is a cross between systems music/minimalism and spacey/trancey sounds. This is really superior stuff and if you sound intrigued, by the short description I gave it, you are going to love this! “Somewhere out there around the... 37-FTS005 $17.00

Ayler, Albert - In Greenwich Village 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 reproduction, including the great, psychedelic, gatefold jacket, of one of my favorite albums by Albert! "In the mid-'60s, Albert Ayler found himself at the center of major transformations within jazz. On his albums for ESP-Disk', his delivery was radically aggressive and his tone blistering -- aiming for something beyond the New Thing. His music would be further energized when (at the behest of John Coltrane) Bob Thiele signed him to Impulse! As Ayler told The Plain Dealer at the... SPRV136.1 $27.00
Costello, Elvis / The Roots - Wise Up Ghost And Other Stories 2013 (Mega Blowout Sale) This is a really good collaboration from hugely talented folks who you would not expect to work together, but, actually, if you think about it, make total sense to work together. "Musicians separated by age, style, and demographic, Elvis Costello and the Roots are nevertheless natural collaborators bound by wide taste, insatiable appetite, and fathomless record collections.

Griot Galaxy - Kins 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 first of three great releases by this Detroit area ensemble. I went crazy finding a copy of this and now it's nicely reissued. Recommended. "Griot Galaxy is a 'secret' jewel of Detroit's avant-garde jazz history - until now. That is to say, they will always be a jewel of Detroit's avant-garde jazz history, their deeply passionate music a testament to experimentation, freedom, and blackness.

Oswald, Margaux - Dysphotic Zone CD Margaux Oswald piano Dysphotic Zone is a freely improvised solo piano album and it's Margaux Oswalds debut recording for Clean Feed. The unedited performance was recorded live at the Monopiano Festival in Stockholm. The album title refers to the ocean layer between 200 and 1,000 meters in the ocean.

McGregor, Chris - Very Urgent CD Despite the fact that for some reason this album was released as being by ‘The Chris McGregor Group’, this is, in fact, the ONLY album ever made by Chris and The Blue Notes in the 1960s (there are some live recordings that were released later, but this is essentially IT!) These is the only recordings by the band who left apartheid South Africa (McGregor, Dudu Pukwana, Mongezi Feza, Ronnie Beer, Johnny Dyani and Louis Moholo) to play at the Antibes Jazz Fest and eventually found their way to London... 39-CD-FLED-3059 $11.00

Recommended if this sounds like it’s your thing, because it is!! “A drummer and experimental instrument maker, Lori Vambe carved out a distinctive niche on the London avant-garde scene of the 1970s and early '80s.
