Psych /
Edge of Time
** CD digipack, with 4 bonus tracks ** Since its founding during the mid-1990s, the Spanish imprint, Guerssen, has remained a defining force in the reissue market, excavating remarkable forgetting gems - many of which were originally issued by the artists themselves in tiny editions - from the histories of psychedelia, folk, experimental music, and beyond. With a catalog currently extending well into the multiple hundreds, it’s continuously startling how consistently they turn up gold from the m…
Gulf Coast Bound
Gulf Coast Bound explores new connection between latin music and mainstream blues. The fifth album from the Bronx combo is an excellent improvement, retaining John Liello's vibes and percussion and pianist Eric Justin K a key role. Blue-eyed soul jam in the vein of Steely Dan, Traffic or early Chicago give way to a series of prominent numbers.
Dedicated To The Bird We Love
A rare psychedelic selection from the Norwegian duo of Nina Johansen on vocals and guitar, and Runa Walle on sitar, guitar and vocals, with support from their Indian friend Satnam Singh on flute and tablas plus some local jazz and rock musicians rounding out the rhythm section. Originally released in 1970 in Norway only, and selling in ridiculously small numbers, this has been something of a legendary cut for lovers of all things psychedelic, just waiting for the right time for a re-release.

Time Is A Grave
"An Ivan The Tolerable album is a journey that is visceral, expressionistic, and full of heady intentions."
"Going into an Ivan The Tolerable album it's best to expect the unexpected. His music swings and swerves from psychedelic flights of fancy to free jazz explorations to cosmic drone swirls, sometimes all in the same song. An Ivan The Tolerable album is a journey that is visceral, expressionistic, and full of heady intentions.
Time Is A Grave, the latest from Ivan The Tolerable (aka Oli Heff…
Lilac Angels
Lilac Angels was a German krautrock band active in the seventies. Made up of friends of NEU! and La Dusseldorf frontman Klaus Dinger, who also co-produced and their debut album, released on his record label 'Dingerland'. However, it was a relative commercial failure and Dinger had pressed three times as many copies as he meant to. Dinger became bankrupt and as a result founded La Dusseldorf in a last gasp attempt at succes. La D. got #3 on the German music charts for their debut single and Lilac…
Blau
** 500 copies. Limited 50th Anniversary Edition: embossed, reverse board, hand numbered, limited edition red vinyl ** On the red album, Conrad Schnitzler laid down the direction his musical artistry would take. The blue album (Blau) offered confirmation of his intent. Maybe the Rot and Blau tracks were recorded in the same session. The structure, sound, and timbre of both LPs are so similar as to suggest that this was the case. Far more important than this historical pedantry is the fact that Sc…
Slow Motion
LP version. The 1960s weren't just about The Beatles, the Rolling Stones and hippies; they also ushered in new forms of art: happenings, Fluxus, Neo-Dada, video art, to name just a few. As borders blurred, pop influenced art and art influenced pop. Many protagonists of the time chose to ignore borders altogether. This chaotic, euphoric atmosphere of extreme innovation lasted well into the 1970s and continues to resonate today. All manner of trailblazers shaped the soundscape of the era. Conrad S…
My Solid Ground
My Solid Ground were a German progressive rock band active in the 1970s. This obscure krautrock album called “My Solid Ground” from 1971 has long been considered a classic of the genre. The first track, the 13-minute ‘Dirty Yellow Mist’, certainly lives up to its reputation as the group embark on a dark space rock journey. It sounds like a mixture of psychedelic rock and progressive rock. With lots of long keyboard tones, a crunchy guitar riff, some acid guitar sounds and distorted chanting as w…
Pops De Vanguardia
The best lo–fi garage album from South America? Ahead of its time raw & homemade Sixties garage, jangly pop and basement psych sounds from Paraguay! Originally released in 1971 as a private pressing, "Pops de Vanguardia" by Jodi contains tracks mostly written and recorded in 1969 (with some dating back to 1966) by brothers Joern and Dirk Wenger at their homemade "Jodi Experimental Studio" in Paraguay. Joern and Dirk, born in Paraguay but of German origin, started playing in beat / psychedelic ba…

Steppin' Out With The Athenians
The most popular and productive line-up of The Athenians beat group came together in Edinburgh in late 1963 and comprised Rick Alcorn (Bass), Ally Black (Guitar), Keith Henderson (Guitar), Arthur Mackey (Drums) and Ian Orr (Vocals). After a deep delve into the catalogues of Sue, Chess, Atlantic, Motown etc. a pretty sassy outfit became the exponents of some very acceptable R&B/ Rock. Having now acquired a fan club, a manager and a large following, the band were playing seven nights a week, two o…
Larks' Tongues In Aspic
Released in clear-tray jewel case with 12-page booklet. Larks' Tongues In Aspic is the fifth in a series of audiophile King Crimson vinyl reissues. Newly cut from masters approved by Robert Fripp, this super-heavyweight 200gm vinyl re-issue is housed in a reprint of the original sleeve. With its raw tone, inspired improvisations and hard hitting odd-metered rhythms, the album marked a radical departure for this most forward thinking of groups and was the first to include Bill Bruford and John We…
Lizard
Released in clear-tray jewel case with 12-page booklet. Originally released 1970. Tracks 9 and 10 are bonus tracks taken from the single King Crimson - Cat Food / Groon. Released in December 1970, King Crimson's third studio album, Lizard, is often viewed as an outlier in the pioneering British prog outfit's nearly half-century discography. It's not easily grouped with 1969's stunning In the Court of the Crimson King debut and 1970 follow-up In the Wake of Poseidon, and along with 1971's Islands…
