Jade Warrior
** Remastered, 180gr, their legendary debut LP from 1971** Jade Warrior's first album following Tony Duhig and Jon Field's emergence out of the psychedelic July captures them abandoning the best of that band's whimsical moodiness in favor of a symphonic spirituality epitomized from the outset by the soaring guitars that ecstatically slice through the opening "Traveller." Reminiscent, in places, of a less-precious successor to Quintessence and the Incredible String Band in that moods and esoteric…
Elastic Rock
A beautifully judged and played jazz-rock album, 'Elastic Rock' marked the beginning of a series of intricate and experimental fusion albums for the group's leader, trumpet-player Ian Carr. As did Soft Machine, Nucleus developed from a jazz-orientated outfit into a more progressive, fusion-based collective(in later years the group would come to be known as 'Ian Carr & Nucleus) with later albums, such as 1976's 'Alley Cat', adding electronics to the already eclectic brew. However, their deb…
Starsailor
180 gram audiophile vinyl. Starsailor is a culmination of Buckley's experiments and with
former Mother of Invention Bunk Gardner on sax and alto flute, the story
is complete. This album endures as one of the most legendary albums
ever made by a singer/songwriter. Tim Buckley's most experimental album and one of his most artistically successful. Buckley's recorded output was uneven; he never quite comfortably fit into the singer-songwriter mold and tried out all sorts of musical personas durin…
Per una scultura di Ceschia
This rare 1978 album is a rather original example of experimental electro-acoustic progressive style, mainly based on synth effects and acoustic guitars and often reminding some of Battiato's early works. Despite the presence of five singers in the line-up, the vocal parts are short, spoken rather than sung. All in all an interesting album for the adventurous listeners in search of something different. Ref: Battiato, Cacciapaglia, Stelle di Mario Schifano. Audiophile quality repress
Like A Duck To Water
Like A Duck To Water was Mother Mallard's 2nd & final release, and was originally released in 1976. The music is a unique and extremely enjoyable blend of space electronics (ala Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze), minimal music (Terry Riley, Philip Glass), and contemporary classical & electronics (Gordon Mumma, John Cage). This album showcases a uniquely American slant on synthesizer music by a band whose pioneering contributions to the genre had been forgotten until now. Includes the original albu…
Delay
Probably the rawest krautrock release. Malcolm Mooney's singing is trance inducing yet soulful, keeping the songs together when everyone else seems to freak out. Nineteen Century Man an it's over the top distortion, combined with the 'Inner Space' mantra, and it's half a minute jazz impromptu prelude Pnoom, push the listener into bliss every time.
Monster Movie
CD reissue of the first Can album, originally issued in 1969. "Can's debut is the only full-length, proper release to feature original vocalist Malcolm Mooney, whose free-form ranting is matched by a raw, aggressive dynamic unlike anything else in the group's canon; driving, dissonant songs like the extraordinary 'Father Cannot Yell' and 'Outside My Door' even owe a rather surprising debt to psychedelia and garage rock. More indicative of things to come is the closer 'Yoo Doo Right,' a 20-minute…
Future Days
An uneasy truce had been thrashed out by the warring factions of Can by the time they came to record 'Future Days' in 1972, yet it is the underlying musical tension that makes this album such a thrilling part of their cannon... With Damo Suzuki's ethereal vocals continuously juxtaposed by Michael Karoli's fraught guitars and Holger Czulkay's invasive bass, the remastered versions of 'Spray' and 'Bel Air' are numbly visceral in that trademark Can way, convincing you that the full spectrum of cont…
Ege Bamyasi
2007 remastered release. The group's fourth album, from 1972, originally issued by United Artists. "The follow-up to Tago Mago is only lesser in terms of being shorter; otherwise the Can collective delivers its expected musical recombination act with the usual power and ability. Liebezeit, at once minimalist and utterly funky, provides another base of key beat action for everyone to go off on -- from the buried, lengthy solos by Karoli on 'Pinch' to the rhythm box/keyboard action on 'Spoon'…
Soon Over Babaluna
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…
Framtiden Är Ett Svävande Skepp, Förankrat I Forntiden
The legendary NWWish album from 1972. Recorded at Studio Decibel in 1971, this CD reissue adds two bonus live tracks from 1972. From Dan Söderqvist's notes: "We have known each other since 1968, when we met in our home neighborhood Västra Frölunda, Gothenburg. We listened to everything; Perotinus heavenly choirs from the 13th century, Messien's heavy works for orchestra, Beefheart's Safe as Milk, with it's surreal lyrics, King Crimson's endless string of chords, the beautiful acoustic Third Ear …
The World In Your Eyes
The complete 3CD World In Your Eyes set, originally released in 2009, and out of print for over 12-13 years. 3 CDS containing all the all the band's 12-inches and compilation tracks in chronological order, with some demo tracks along the way, featuring tracks from the very first Loop demo, "16 Dreams" single, "Spinning", "Collision", "Black Sun" and "Arclite" as well as the Nick Drake tribute on Imaginary, the Neil Young tribute Comp on No. 6 Records, the "promo" Live 12", and even the Godflesh …
Gilded Eternity
**Finally repressed / repackaged on CD format for these incredible remastered / reissues from 2008. ** A Gilded Eternity is the third and final album from Loop, it originally came out in January 1990, and was recently reissued as part of the Loop Remasters on 2CD in 2009. The 7 tracks on the album (plus the two tracks on the bonus 7”) are from a band at the absolute peak of their power; there was far more to Loop than bludgeoning riffs and cranking up the gain control. Here was a band that also …
Crawling To Lhasa
New legit reissue of this "psychedelic jewel from Duisburg". Originally issued as a private press LP in Germany in 1972, there were a couple of bootleg LP versions of this floating around in the 80s and then a legit, but difficult to obtain CD issue on the long gone Lost Pipe Dreams label. "Their music combined various folk and Eastern influences, slightly hinting at the Third Ear Band and Popol Vuh, but closest to Clark-Hutchinson on their album A=MH2. Kalacakra's blend of mantras, blues, folk …
Volume 333
Volume 333 is the third album by the Montreal collective L'Infonie, and it is considered by many to be their masterpiece. Released in 1972, this surprising, hard to categorize album is a mix of experimental groove, psychedelic jazz-rock and.... classical music, that will appeal to Zappa fans, but also to chamber music audiophiles. An extraordinary listening adventure and a monument of undeground Kébécois rock! Formed in Montreal in 1967, L'Infonie existed officially until 1974. Seven years of pu…
Brain Damage in Oklahoma City
Previously unreleased material recorded between 1967 and 1970. "Comprised of eight tracks, the acme of this collection is the two large ensemble pieces, "Dreamweapon Benefit for the Oklahoma City Police Dept. parts 1 & 2," featuring Angus Maclise (barrel conga), Hetty MacLise (tampura), the poet Jackson Maclow (recorders and voice), Henry Flynt (song flute and voice) and Tony Conrad (limp string). These tracks, recorded in May of 1968, are the apex of maximalist loft style psychedelic improvisat…
Constellation Of Tragedy
Constellation Of Tragedy is the sixth full length album from Japan's LSD March. Apt comparisons are often made of LSD March being a cross between the Velvet Underground and Les Rallizes Denudes. Constellation Of Tragedy is their most well recorded and refined album to date coming to a climactic close and featuring leader Shinsuke Michishita playing guitar, theremin, musical box, bass, harmonium, & harmonica. Recorded by Richard Horner at Snowflake Sound in Saporro Japan. Cover artwork by Darryl …
1970 - 1973
The first album and previously unreleased recordings from the world's first all-synthesizer ensemble. They were also one of the very first [possibly the first] performing synthesizer ensembles, working closely with Robert Moog, whose first factory was nearby. This material pre-dates or is contemporary with the first work of Kraftwerk & Tangerine Dream. A uniquely American slant on synthesizer music by a band whose pioneering contributions to the genre had been forgotten until now. Some excellent…
The Dawn Wind
Australian folkie Paul Adolphus created some magical music back in the mid-1970s: mostly acoustic, intimate songs with a bewitching psychedelic gloss. This excellent obscurity was recorded in Japan in '73, and although it was critically acclaimed, it was never widely distributed. The album, reissued intact in 2007, also features Mitsu Harada on organ and piano.
