Stoner Witch
The true gods of the stoner underground music, the Melvins, released their album Stoner Witch in 1994.

Heart Food
Judee Sill is one of folk's more interesting and lesser-known stories. Because of her troubled family history she was looking for an escape of reality. After surviving a heroin addiction and a brief stint as a bank robber, Sill turned her rather intense passions to music. She released two albums and partially completed a third album before her death in 1979. Sill's music was complex, elegantly crafted and yet completely devoid of pretension or overwrought melodrama. Unfairly lumped in with othe…

Mindset
Long awaited re-issue of The Necks 2011 masterpiece. Always different, here the Necks resolutely layer polyrhythmic material to form seething blocks of sound - in two long pieces, one more stripped back to the live trio, the other featuring multiple strata of swirling Hammonds, noise-guitar and electronics. Their 16th release still resonates on its own.
It features two starkly contrasting tracks: the pulsating, raw, 'Rum Jungle' and the slower building, rather hypnotic 'Daylights.' Polyrhythms …

Kaleidoscope Of Rainbows
Tip! *Limited edition of 500 copies.* 1976 Kaleidoscope of Rainbows in unmistakably a trait d'union between the british (orchestral) jazz-rock heritage and a more confident way of writing.

This is the final…
