Live at Moers Festival
Guitarist Masayuki "Jojo" Takayanagi (1932-1991) was a towering leader in the Japanese jazz world. His first influence was Lennie Tristano, but through the 1960s and 1970s he explored and pushed the boundaries in free form jazz.Takayanagi was invited to play with his group New Direction Unit at the 9th annual Moers New Jazz Festival in Germany in 1980, which, as the name suggests, featured only free jazz performances. In front of the 3,000 plus audience, Takayanagi and company had their most rad…

These 1974 tapes went unreleased and are heard only now in this rediscovered and expanded volume. Out Lou…

Duets 1992
2025 stock Trumpeter Bill Dixon and pianist Cecil Taylor, friends going back to their Truman-era school days, associated copiously in nearly every artistic fashion -- except making music together. Duets is their only meeting in studio apart from both artists appearing on Taylor's 1966 landmark Blue Note LP, Conquistador. In 1992 they made the briefest summer festival tour to Italy and France, budgeting in two additional days for this recording session. That musical output was prepared for a rele…
Derailleur
Archie Shepp's world has always been filled with fire music, and eventually Fire Music. Before that landmark LP, Shepp made Four for Trane -- his August 1964 beachhead with Impulse. And even before that, as it turns out, came this one blip -- the earliest Shepp leader project yet on record. Under supervision of the artist, this previously unissued demo recording is now available from Triple Point Records. As the cover of Derailleur suggests, Shepp tries out some surprising combinations for the s…

Känguru
Third album by Guru Guru, pioneers of the krautrock scene, released in 1972. The last album of the band's heyday with the original three members Mani Neumeier, Uli Trepte and Ax Genrich. The band moved to a more organised style of playing, which, combined with the humour of the covers, gave the impression of being a bit of a letdown, but the content was excellent, and the album is a masterpiece of well-crafted songs with a lot of attention to detail. The aggression has receded, but the psychedel…
Yeti
Double CD. Comes in a gatefold mini LP replica with obi, folded Japanese liner and folded poster. One of the cornerstones of the entire Krautrock movement. Second album from Munich's Amon Düül II, first released as a double LP on Liberty Records in April 1970. Rolling Stone ranked it the 41st greatest progressive rock album of all time. Dan Epstein called it "one of the finest records of the entire original psychedelic era."
The band emerged from the radical Amon Düül art commune in Munich - a c…
Kokkyou Junreika
Packaged in a mini LP sleeve with obi, 4-page & 12-page booklets of lyrics and Japanese liner notes and anti-static CD sleeve in a resealable clear plastic sleeve.. Tokyo playwright, director and artist J.A. Caesar sprang to prominence in the early '70s largely through his work with Shuji Terayama's Tenjo Sajiki Theatre, specializing in vaguely sinister music reminiscent of a Hammer House Of Horrors soundtrack. 1973's Kokkyou Junreika release, often considered Caesar's finest work, was culled fr…
Un peu de l'âme des bandits
A pinnacle of the Rock In Opposition movement. Second and final album from Belgian avant-rock pioneers Aksak Maboul, recorded with ex-Henry Cow members Fred Frith and Chris Cutler. More intense and experimental than their playful 1977 debut Onze Danses Pour Combattre la Migraine, yet no less unpredictable. Reached #3 in NME's top ten European albums of 1980, after Yello and The Nits, before Steve Reich and Faust.
Marc Hollander founded Crammed Discs specifically to release this record - the labe…
Onze Danses Pour Combattre La Migraine
Debut album by Belgian chamber rock band Aksak Mabul, led by Marc Orlandel, released in 1977. A mysterious fusion of acoustic instruments and electronics, akin to Erik Satie, ZNR and others. A masterpiece that will now go down in history as a chamber classic. Paper jacket, SHM-CD, latest remastering, 3 bonus tracks!
Stand By
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* "Stand By" was Heldon's final 1970s album. Afterward, Richard Pinhas focused on solo work and took a decade-long break. He explains that the band split due to members' time constraints and a trend of bands breaking up while still successful. The album features urgent synthesizer sounds, intricate drums, and dynamic guitar riffs. Though compared to krautrock, Pinhas was no…
6 - Interface
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* As with the preceding album Rêve Sans Conséquance Spéciale, if you come to grip[ with this wild experimental minimalistic music , you will find yourself riveted to your seat by the sheer power and violent intensity of the music developped by Richard Pinhas (the sole leader of this project). It really depends on how your mind (and mood) is set to understand what is develop…
Ile De Fievre
Second and final album from the Nice-based progressive rock trio-turned-quartet, and widely considered their absolute masterpiece. Produced by CBS in 1978, Île de Fièvre finds Shylock expanding both their lineup and their sonic ambitions, pushing deeper into jazz-rock fusion territory while retaining the dark, Crimsonian edge that defined their cult debut.
Now a four-piece with the addition of bassist Serge Summa, the band - Frédéric L'Épée (guitar), Didier Lustig (keyboards), André Fisichella (…
Gialorgues
French symphonic prog of the highest order! The debut album from Nice's legendary Shylock - a trio that bypassed the Genesis/Camel worship of their countrymen to channel the darkest corners of King Crimson, the complexity of Gentle Giant, and the moody keyboard darkness of Van der Graaf Generator. Originally released on CBS in 1977, Gialorgues has achieved cult status among collectors worldwide and provided the primary influence for the 90s prog revival - bands like Änglagård owe this record eve…
Drei Kugeln
*100 copies limited edition* Totally concentrated, this album captures the birth of new ideas almost every minute – each emerging, disappearing instantly, and making way for the next. Reminiscent of Elliott Sharp’s 'Phlogiston' and the works of Roland Kayn, it balances mystique with accessibility. A masterpiece and a true classic of electronic music.
RhythmiCon
*100 copies limited edition* Con's rhythmic explorations, carried out over 18 years from 1982, culminated in this full 66-minute album. A truly unique release, it stands apart from his other works, offering a distinct sonic experience. Intentionally simple – almost primitive – its rhythmic structures capture the musical atmosphere of the early '80s. Hypnotic, analog-driven, and now available for the first time on CD.
Magie
*100 copies limited edition* Like the entire series of 100 works showcasing the most notable viewpoints in CON's electronic space, 'Magie' is a unique facet that draws the listener into an unpredictable, sometimes frightening journey into the unknown that runs through rich, frequently changing soundscapes.
