In September they found time to record their next studio album. Released both in Poland …
* 2021 Stock * The French film composer François De Roubaix recorded compositions for a lot of movies. One of them is the Belgian cult horror classic Daughters of Darkness. The soundtrack to the erotic vampire - a stylish, cold, and sinister meditation on sex, compliancy, and vampirism- film consists of a lot of different musical elements and is an seductive score. It’s one of François’ finest pieces of music. The colourful compositions supports the love story and the different ways the vampires…
Neither musician has to be dominant to prove that he has something to say. Instead of trying to outdo each other, they develop a compelling, very soulful world of their own. In the history of jazz they are two more rhapsodists continuing the tradition, while changing the context of the stories and thus making them plausible. What is amazing is their calm maturity that does completely without the frills of elec- tronics. Dense and compact but at the same time transparent and delicate the music pr…
Temporary Super Offer! The trio of Jimmy Giuffre, pianist Paul Bley, and Steve Swallow on acoustic bass, through their previous recordings and live concerts in Europe, had reached the precipice of complete improvisational freedom. The leap came with Free Fall. What I feel to be the more revealing and revolutionary aspects of this album, however, are to be found in the five unaccompanied clarinet pieces. – Art Lange
With this release we like to celebrate Jimmy Giuffre at 100. (26. April 1921 – 24…

** 2021 Repress ** A great reunion of the Jeff Parker/Rob Mazurek duo – a pair who've only continued to grow strongly in the years since their Chicago Underground classics – and who bring all that sense of energy to play in their music! The sounds here represent the deeper, more mature styles that both musicians have hit – a way of almost being more powerful by being less aggressive – especially from Mazurek, who's got this wonderfully gentle touch on his horn at times – wrapped up in these wave…
** 2 CDs In A Dvd Case With A Thick 68p Book ** Rer Megacorp presents Miniatures 2020: A 40th Anniversary Tribute To Morgan Fisher's First Collection Of Tiny Masterpieces. This is the third in a noble series: the first was Morgan Fisher's now legendary 1980 classic, then in 2000 his expanded volume two; now - another twenty years on - Volume three, an even further extended homage to Morgan's minimal but cornucopian concept, which was simplicity itself: invite a selected body of artists to make a…
If there was one sound guaranteed to shock in British jazz during 1966 it was that of the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, the free-improvising collective centred around drummer John Stevens which that year helped establish London’s Little Theatre Club as a stronghold of the ‘new wave’. Although the avant-garde were slow in gaining a toe-hold on British jazz tastes, every so often a grass roots jazz club would take a chance on the new style, such as the night in June 1966 when the SME alighted on Gre…

Delodio presents Uk Electronics 1988-1994, a compilation from the British label Mindscan Tapes. Mindscan Tapes, an English label that was active between 1988 and 1994, who released, amongst others, Beatronic and UK Electronics, two compilation series that had a notably wide style for the time. At the end of the '80s, it was deemed appropriate to stick to stylistic zones. However, Robert Maycock, the sole young Englishman running this DIY structure, mixed electro, early techno, ambient, experimen…
Tibor Szemző is not only a skillful and experienced Hungarian musician but also a media artist with a vast imagination. His last LP, Arbo X – Csoma Grooves, refers to his full-length film A Guest of Life released in 2006, for which he not only directed but also composed all the music. The film is inspired by the life of Alexander Csoma de Körös, a remarkable polyglot from the 19th century who set out from his native Transylvania to central Asia on foot to look for the roots of the Hungarian l…
Kleistwahr is the solo project of Gary Mundy, the legendary power electronic and noise-rock musician who is a founding member of Ramleh and runs the highly influential Broken Flag label. Solemn drones and elegiac long-form passages gird Kleistwahr’s Winter, which often chimes, glistens, and glows through a unhurried constructs for organ, synth, guitar, and electronics. Yet Mundy pivots throughout with triumphant explosions of shrill noise, redlined overload, and harrowingly anguished vocals from…

*Green transparent LP version. Limited edition* Originally issued in 1970, Nosferatu is band’s sole album is a highlight of early Krautrock, and it remains a lively testimonial of the fledgling German music scene of the time, which was steadily moving away from its Anglo-American role-models to create an independent sound that the English initially and somewhat disparagingly called Krautrock, but which eventually came to be a seal of quality. A band somewhat shrouded in mystery, perhaps maintai…
This legendary eponymous album, originally released on famous label Brain in 1973, is a fine example for the various styles German rock of the early 70´s (Krautrock) represented. On their first album Kollektiv produced an incomparable, unmistakeable sound with echoes of Organisation and early Kraftwerk . Led by the distorted but always rhythmic or melodic flute and sax playing by Klaus Dapper and the extraordinaire terrific guitar by Jürgen Havix and consolidated and held together by the tight r…
LP Edition. Trauma was Gomorrha's re-recorded first eponymous album with English vocals. Long track 'Trauma' was refined with considerable input by later legendary sound engineer and producer Conny Plank, who took his first steps in sound technology with Gomorrha. 'Trauma' was an opus of spectacular electronics and effects, mixing freaky rock with abstract collage. The English version also gave all the other compositions a new lease of life and a modern sound. LP version (gatefold sleeve) contai…
This is the first official re-release on vinyl under licensed courtesy of BMG Rights Management, UK, remastered from an original master copy out of the vaults of BMG. The album was originally released in 1971 on Transatlantic produced by Peter Bardens (Camel). Marsipulami's sombre and slightly spooky flute- laden music, often evoking mythology, certainly was groundbreaking stuff and should've caught many more "underground public" ears. Side one: “Prelude to the Arena” starts quite violently with…
This is the first official re-release on vinyl under licensed courtesy of BMG Rights Management, UK, remastered from an original master copy out of the vaults of BMG. The album was originally released in 1970 on Transatlantic. Marsupilami is one of those early 70's groups that should've emerged but didn't, like Audience, Gravy Train, Gnidrolog and a few more. This south-west England sextet, built around the Hasson brothers Fred (vocals) and Leary (keyboards) and the latter's girlfriend Jessica C…

They were mixing various aspects of Art-,Westcoast-, Jazz- and Folkrock with Psychedelic Roc…
The life and work of Maryanne Amacher are as vast as they are as yet unknown. A heterodox and idiosyncratic selection of largely unpublished documents spanning the bandwidth of the still unprocessed contents of the Amacher archive.
Another absolutely mind-blowing gem from Transversales Disques, Archie Shepp's "Live in Paris (1974) Lost ORTF Recordings" is some of the best jazz of the era that almost no one ever heard. Fully mastered from the original tapes and capturing one of the great giants of free jazz in a crucial moment of change - tracing toward funkier, fusion tinged compositions, and more straight ahead bop at the boundaries of spiritual jazz - the historical importance and raw beauty of these never before release…
