Live in Aston 1977
"Live in Aston 1977" is a completely new lens through which we can see a unique band with a seemingly inexhaustible energy for live performance. It comes at a difficult time for Can; their recently released eighth studio album, 'Saw Delight', was was poorly received and although posterity has been kinder, the reviews at the time of release have been savage. One might expect the live performances of this period to reflect some of the criticism levelled at the album, that they were slowing down, p…
Live in Keele 1977
The long-awaited release of a fan favourite, Live in Keele 1977, is the latest in Can’s series of live albums, released on Mute and Future Days. Live in Keele 1977 is the newest release in a series of live albums that have been unearthed from the Spoon Records vaults and from fan recordings, then painstakingly assembled by founding member Irmin Schmidt and producer and engineer René Tinner. This album is a dynamic document of late-period CAN. Recorded in March 1977, the core line up of Irmin Sch…
Live In Cuxhaven 1976
Limited edition first pressing on Curacao blue vinyl. Includes booklet and sleeve notes. This carefully restored live album comprises the 1976 show in the format of a story with a beginning, middle and end, bringing Can’s performance to life. The album consists of four instrumental pieces – Eins, Zwei, Drei and Vier. These compositions reveal an improvisatory approach of Can. Each instrument contributes to the shamanistic nature of the music
The series was overseen by founding member Irmin Schm…
Rite Time
'Rite Time’ was originally released in 1986 and has been evaluated as one of the classic Can albums. "An unexpected reunion from Can (made even more unexpected by the presence of original singer Malcolm Mooney, who left the band in 1969), 1989's Rite Time is in large part a return to form for the group, especially when one considers how weak Can's last few '70s albums were. Wisely, the quintet doesn't try to replicate the sound they created over two decades before on albums like Monster Movie. I…

Compass Rises
On Compass Rises, Compass condense the grit and openness of early‑’70s upstate jazz into one privately pressed statement, an acoustic‑electric set that threads post‑Coltrane toughness, modal burn and soulful swing into a clear, straight‑ahead identity.
Soon over Babaluma
With Suzuki departed, vocal responsibilities were now split between Michael Karoli and Irmin Schmidt. Wisely, neither try to clone Mooney or Suzuki, instead aiming for their own low-key way around things. The guitarist half speaks/half whispers his lines on the opening groover, "Dizzy Dizzy," while on "Come Sta, La Luna" Schmidt uses a higher pitch that is mostly buried in the background. Holger Czukay sounds like he's throwing in some odd movie samples on that particular track, though perhaps i…
Hairway To Steven
The second part of Matador’s reissues of the essential early records by Texas’s Butthole Surfers continues with three of their most insane slabs -- 1985’s ‘Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis,’ 1987’s ‘Locust Abortion Technician’ and 1988’s ‘Hairway to Steven.’ The period during which these records were first issued parallels the Buttholes’ transition from being weirdo Texas outcasts to becoming internationally recognized smut-kings of the American underground. In 1985 they were still the sole p…
Geogaddi
Tip! "Let's talk about what makes Geogaddi different. The first thing that comes to mind is the shift in mood from the previous Boards of Canada albums. While the band continues to traffic in childhood and nostalgia, the atmosphere on this album is a shade darker than on previous releases, and comparatively tense with a noticeable thread of paranoia. Boards of Canada have always had a disorienting cast to their music, in part because of their proclivity for the quivery modulation of their analo…
Tomorrow's Harvest
*2024 stock* "After all the intrigue, hidden codes on 12" records that went on to sell for astronomical amounts of money on eBay, adverts on Cartoon Network, a song played at a Tokyo intersection, and other covert shenanigans that made the Daft Punk teaser campaign look prosaic, here I am, in the Warp offices in North West London, signing a disclaimer ahead of an exclusive listen to the new Boards Of Canada album, Tomorrow's Harvest. It's a fitting way to listen to a record by a band whose obses…
Trans Canada Highway
Tip! *2024 stock* Quality control has never been much of a problem for Boards of Canada. The duo has magnified its legacy at least partly by indulging in generous spells of inactivity. The infrequency of BoC's output has not only fed into the mythos of their carefully cultivated brand, it's also engendered a level of trust that's served as a consolatory point of pride for fans who've felt shut out by the duo's otherwise total remove from the peripheral obligations (live shows, videos, interviews…
In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country
*2024 stock* In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country is an EP by Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada. It was released by Warp and music70 on 27 November 2000, in the period between the duo's albums Music Has the Right to Children and Geogaddi. The four-track collection centers around the theme of the Branch Davidian religious sect and their Waco retreat. The title of the EP refers to a vocoder-processed and slowed voice sample used on the third track, which repeats "come out and live …

I'm Gonna Take You Home
The story of Father Yod, Yahowa 13 and the Source Family could literally fill books, but rest assured, they truly were the "apex of high" in terms of psychedelic music. A tale that transcends conventional music history, this legendary collective represents one of the most radical experiments in communal living and cosmic sound ever documented. The basics paint an extraordinary picture: Father Yod was a WWII flying ace and spiritual seeker who gathered his "children" around him in early 1970s Los…
The Cycle Is Complete
After leaving the Buffalo Springfield because of a drug bust, bassist Bruce Palmer released this 1970 solo album for Verve Forecast. Consisting of only four tracks, The Cycle Is Complete seamlessly explores psych, folk and jazz territories to cultivate a sound that now seems decades ahead of its time. Opening track "Alpha - Omega - Apocalypse" features vocals by Rick Matthews (later known as psychedelic soul star Rick James). An exploratory cult classic.
A really great trance psychedelic album f…
From Books and Dreams
On From Books and Dreams, Message twist hard-rocking kraut-prog into a delirious, book‑strange suite of nightmares and visions, where riffs, sax and Mellotron bleed into long-form songs that feel equal parts acid hangover, cosmic sermon and waking dream.
Exuma
Exuma is the debut studio album by Bahamian folk musician Exuma. It was originally released in May 1970. In the early 1960s, Exuma (born Macfarlane Gregory Anthony Mackey) had moved to Greenwich Village, New York and started playing guitar and singing in the cultivating folk rock scene developing in that area. After producer Bob Wyld came up to him offering a record deal, he chose to adopt "Exuma, the Obeah Man" as his name. Wyld adopted the pseudonym "Daddy Ya Ya" and recruited a few musicians …

Untilted
Autechre, the pioneering British electronic duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown, continues their illustrious catalogue of reissues with the long-awaited return of “Untilted” (originally released 2005) as a deluxe 2LP set via Warp Records. Out of print for more than 15 years, “Untilted” re-emerges as a crucial touchstone in the ever-unfolding journey of experimental electronica.
Marked by eight monumental tracks, “Untilted” found Autechre pushing their sound to its most uncompromising and abstract: t…
