Transfiguration
"Recorded live at a UCLA concert hall in April 1978 and released on Warner Bros, Coltrane plays piano and organ accompanied by Roy Haynes on drums and Reggie Workman on bass. The trio conjures both a universe and a universal consciousness; Coltrane has no qualms with the commingling of exhilaration and asceticism it demands of listeners. In fact, she demands that you come closer, to its tone and to your natural self. What this feels like in one aspect is Black music's Bonnie and Clyde fantasy re…

Music From Twin Peaks
The soundtracks to the original series of David Lynch’s groundbreaking television series Twin Peaks is re-released to celebrate the anticipated revival of the show. Most fans of the show would agree that the music played one of the most fundamental roles in the series and helped establish the haunting, dreamlike nature of it.

Live/Dead
Gatefold sleeve. Includes a 4-page booklet. Live/Dead is the first official live album (and fourth overall) released by the rock band Grateful Dead. Recorded over a series of concerts in early 1969 and released later the same year, it was the first live rock album to use 16-track recording.

Spread over two LPs, Live/Dead (1969) finally was able to relay the intrinsic sonic magnificence of a Dead show in real t…
Mwandishi
After releasing their Warner Bros. debut, the Herbie Hancock Sextet underwent a major transformation in the early '70s. Over the course of a year, every member was replaced (except Herbie Hancock himself and bassist Buster Williams) and each adopted Swahili names. (Williams even led the group in occasional sessions of Buddhist chanting.) Hancock chose the moniker Mwandishi (meaning 'composer'), and the Sextet became unofficially known as the Mwandishi Band. The lineup's first album -- simply tit…
If I Could Remember My Name...
One word describes the CD If I Could Only Remember My Name from David Crosby...awesome! A real acid folk masterpiece whose inclusion in this catalogue might surprise some of the soundohm website visitors, but here it is. Originally released at the pinnacle of CSNY’s fame—singer-songwriter David Crosby’s 1971 solo debut is a transcendent tour de force that allmusic.com calls, “among the finest splinter albums out of the CSNY diaspora.”
Of Rivers And Religions & After The Ball
This German Warner Bros. reissue is a nice repackaging of the late John Fahey's 1972 album Of Rivers Religion and his wonderfully genteel 1973 release After the Ball from his all too brief sojourn with the label. These recordings represent a shift for Fahey, playing both solo and with an ensemble. On Of Rivers Religion, the ensemble included many of the New Orleans players who performed on Walt Disney's Song of the South film soundtrack. Gorgeous, slow, ringing slide and fingerplucked tones esta…
