Frith, Fred - Accidental A good performance of music for dance, all performed by Fred (via extensive overdubbing). "Any new record from Fred Frith, one of the world's leading avant rock guitarists and composers, is a major event.

New York Art Quartet - Old Stuff “An absolute gem of an album that is of great historical importance.... Both elemental and sophisticated, this is an invaluable document of an ephemeral outfit – that made a nonetheless invaluable contribution to the cannon of small group jazz, be it mainstream or avant-garde, or the space in between.” – Kevin Le Gendre/Jazzwise, October, 2010.

Kraus, Shmulik - Criminal Record CD (Mega Blowout Sale) “Israeli singer Shmulik Kraus wrote a classic of psychedelic rock while sitting in a jail cell in the 1970s. His album deserves another listen.

Cluster - Konzerte 1972 / 1977 This is a document of two modestly well recorded shows by Cluster in a very early and later early prime: 1972 and 1977. Don't start here, but essential and quite worthwhile for fans.

One took place in 1977 during a science fiction festival in Metz (France). The other dates back to an earlier show in Hamburg's Fabrik venue. Cluster... 05-BB 240CD $18.00

Only one of their albums - Lost Mankind - ever made it to the silver disc. Their debut "Desert Places" was originally released on the Brain label in 1974.

Surplus 1980 Collectiv Ensembl with G.W. Sok - Forget All This “As alluded to in its name, Surplus 1980's music takes cues from the angular bands of the 1980s such as Dog Faced Hermans and Diagram Brothers and fuses it with the heavy, fierce attack pioneered by The Ex and The Fall to create their own blend of modern no-wave angst. Combined with Staiano’s playful lyrics, Surplus 1980's music is a thick slab of out-jazz, with more than a dash of punk ferocity.
