Tip! Science Fiction is an album by the American avant-garde jazz saxophonist and composer Ornette Coleman, released in February 1972. It is considered as Coleman's creative rebirth. A stunningly inventive and appropriately alien-sounding blast of manic energy, where Coleman combines his past and future, working with bassist Charlie Haden and drummers Billy Higgins and Ed Blackwell. The album is made up of spacy, long-toned melodies and rhythm, including two songs with Indian vocalist Asha Puthl…
Music Is the Healing Force of the Universe is a powerful and often ignored 1970 recording from the American avant-garde jazz saxophonist, singer and composer Albert Ayler. Apart from the posthumous album The Last Album, this was to be Ayler's last studio album, recorded and released before his death in November 1970. The album was initially judged as too difficult by Down Beat, then recognized by the most as “an important portrait of a man facing a life and death inner struggle beyond the bounda…

The summer of soul collides with the acid rock revolution in this 1969 opus originally licensed by MCA sub label UNI (roster of talented artists such as Strawberry Alarm Clock, Hugh Masekela and Fever Tree). The sole album by US power trio Fields is a majestic blues rock effort, arranged by cultish producer Gene Page (Blacula soundtrack, Aretha Franklin, Elton John, the Whispers, Gladys Knight, etc.). The short-lived Los Angeles band was clearly influenced by the likes of Cream and Vanilla Fudge…
Tokyo playwrite, director and artist J A Caesar sprang to prominence in the early ‘70s largely through his work with Shuji Terayama’s Tenjo Sajiki Theatre, specializing in vaguely sinister music. The Kokkyou Junreika release, often considered Caesar’s finest work, was culled from the 5 hours of music written for the original play distilled down to an album’s worth of ageless chants, Budhist mantras, heavenly invocations and fuzztone guitar vamps supported by Caesar’s droning electric organ and …
From the verdant landscapes of Gravesend, Kent, emerged one of British progressive rock's most enigmatic treasures. Deep Feeling's solitary 1971 statement on DJM Records represents a fascinating metamorphosis: the transformation of The Guy Darrell Syndicate, a soul-infused pop outfit, into something far more adventurous and sublime.
When John Swail (the artist formerly known as Guy Darrell) shed his stage persona and joined forces with Martin Jenner (guitar, vocals), David Green (bass, flute, vo…

The debut EP by ONDAKEIKI sits halfway between a meditation session and a wild beach party, where reggae rhythms meet post-punk angularity and hypnotic psychedelia. Wrapped in a warm blanket of reverb and delay, the four long songs strike a delicate balance between fun and spirituality. While the pulsating basslines hit you square in the chest, drums, guitar, keys and effects flutter around like hummingbirds, and the vocals paint pictures of transcendent journeys where oneness with nature, peace…

The original album sells for 1000€ in mint condition.
"An unknown gem", with that the Freeman brothers labelled this really impressive work. Psychedelic and mostly instrumental. Like early Pi…

Landfall juxtaposes lush electronics and traditional strings by Kronos with Anderson\'s powerful descriptions of loss, from water-logged pianos to disappearing animal species to Dutch karaoke bars. The Washington Post calls it "riveting, gorgeous."
