71 Minutes
Packaged in a mini LP sleeve with obi. "With Magma, Faust was one of the most important of all the European groups of the '70s. Compiled from 'lost' and unreleased material, originally released as Munich & Elsewhere on the 10th Anniversary of their disbandment (inc. prophetic pre-dub mixing) as well as most of the unreleased Faust Party 3 LP. Intense, eccentric, hypnotic, a true timeless classic." 180 gram vinyl.
(After the Manor House recordings in 1972)... then chaos: Faust splits: some of us …
Yeti
Double CD. Comes in a gatefold mini LP replica with obi, folded Japanese liner and folded poster. Released in 1970 as a double album, “Yeti“ was a major achievement for Amon Düül II. In England they won over cult DJ John Peel as friend and supporter; for the readers of the German magazine “Musik Express“ the guys from Munich were the most popular underground band, and “Yeti“ was voted best album of the year. A double album on vinyl, Yeti consists of a set of structured songs and a second disc of…
Paradieswarts Duul
Packaged in a mini LP sleeve with obi, Japanese liner notes, 2-page insert with corrected track details and anti-static CD sleeve in a resealable clear plastic sleeve. Ohr present a reissue of Amon Düül's Paradieswärts Düül, originally released in 1971. In 1968, the Münchner Kommune, formed in 1967, had applied to Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser, the organizer of the Essen Songtage, for a gig there. When the Düüls arrived in Essen, already two bands of this name in the meantime, since three members had split…

*75 copies limited edition* "Oops, did I just step on your tone, or is it the fish in my eyes swimming into yours? Take me to the barber shop and cut everything, until no one can recognize anyone." - Shang
Troubadour
Just Restocked - Drag City presents the first official reissue of Dorothy Carter’s 1976 debut album, her folk-music exegesis: Troubadour. It’s been 20 years since Dorothy’s passing — but thanks to last year’s reissue of her second album, Waillee Waillee (1978), and this edition of Troubadour, her music is surging forward ever more powerfully. Today’s announcement comes with a visualizer for the first single, “The King of Glory”, a hypnotic hymn hammered by Dorothy evoking western medieval music.…

Miss Madona (EP)
First vinyl reissue. Two years after having recorded Aurora, which Gérard Terronès released on his Futura Records label in 1971, the Théâtre du Chêne Noir put on another show, Miss Madona, first at Avignon, and then at Ariane Mnouchkine's Théâtre du Soleil. From this play, Gérard Gelas's group took three sound extracts which they made, with no further ado, into a single. Miss Madona is thus the second recording by Théâtre du Chêne Noir. The two sides (and three tracks) offer up an unbelievable i…
Aurora
LP version. First vinyl reissue. Souffle Continu Records present a reissue Le Théâtre du Chêne Noir's Aurora, originally released in 1971. In 1972, Steve Lacy recorded Solo, one of the gems in his discography, in the Théâtre du Chêne Noir in Avignon. The previous year (which was also the year in which Aurora appeared), the eponymous group of actors led by Gérard Gelas, took up residence in what was a 12th century chapel. The Théâtre du Chêne Noir is therefore not just the name of a space open to…
Vivre La Mort Du Vieux Monde
Tip! Before Mahjun (of which Souffle Continu reissued, in 2016, the two albums released on Saravah), there was… Maajun. Five musicians (Jean-Pierre Arnoux, Cyril and Jean-Louis Lefebvre, Alain Roux and Roger Scaglia) and three times as many instruments at the service of an electric-poetic guerrilla group moulded from folk and blues. The group’s unique album, “Vivre la Mort du Vieux Monde” evokes an (imaginary) association of Frank Zappa and Jacques Higelin, of Sonny Sharrock and the Art Ensemble…
Asylum
Another outstanding Prog Rock classic, originally released on Vertigo in 1971 and now available again on LP. Like the first album, originals of this one are also increasingly hard to find in mint condition, and have peaked over £1,000 at auctions. ‘Asylum’ has a striking cover artwork, very typical of the style of the day, and was Cressida’s second album of eight extended rock workouts, with Peter Jennings’ superb keyboard playing backed by John Culley on lead guitar, enhancing the lead vocals o…
Vol. 3
Volume 3 of a set of collaborations between the prolific Argentine polymaths Reynols and the inescapable Acid Mothers Temple. Recorded in Buenos Aries on AMT’s 2017 South American Tour, the music has identifiable sonic elements from both groups but ends up sounding like neither, with a surprising weightlessness that keeps things jammy and psychedelic until the final track’s blustering rock. Taking up most of side 1, “Kicking Air Bricks” has a loose Gong/70’s Euro-classic vibe, with Satoshima Nan…
Tone Float
Grey-area reissue of Organisation's Tone Float, originally released in 1970. German rock band, Organisation, is often referred to as the prototype or predecessor of Kraftwerk -- the godfathers of electronic music. In fact, it was the first iteration of Kraftwerk and if the band had managed to overrule its record label, RCA, Tone Float would have been credited as such. But given that the album was to be released only in the United Kingdom, the label opted for the more Anglicized name, "Organisati…
Waillee Waillee
** LP version includes 12 page booklet with unpublished manuscripts, drawings, photographs, and sheet music of the songs from the album.** The first ever reissue of the work of American composer Dorothy Carter, master of the hammered dulcimer, zither, and other instruments of the hammer chord zither/psalterium family. A true musical vagabond, Dorothy was born in New York in 1935, though her spiritual pursuit of an expansive musical knowledge would take her to monasteries in Mexico, conservatorie…
Beam Penetration
Expo 70, held in Osaka, was a pivotal event for the Japanese people and their relationship with the rest of the world, demonstrating both the nation’s ongoing economic recovery from World War Two and the creative spirit of Japanese society and its artists. The event gained international acclaim for its adventurous architectural design, visual art and electronic music. Some of Japan’s most renowned composers were involved, but also present were the now-legendary rockers, the Flower Travellin' Ban…
The Souls Of Birds And Mice
2024 Stock. Released in 2015, this is arguably Dan Melchior's stand alone release in a massively impressive catalog. Eschewing the gutbucket trawl & extended electro pedal-whomp, The Souls of Birds and Mice is more fugue like; it isn’t composed of elements so much as it is composed of the composing of elements. Recorded at a pivotal time in the his life, one can detect the influences varying from his wife, Letha Rodman-Melchior to Pale Cocoon, Martin Davorin Jagodić' & Pôle running through this …
Trout Mask Replica
2025 repress. Trout Mask Replica is a touchstone in the history of recorded music. The mix of dada absurdist blues and previously unexplored experimental avenues has long been praised as one of the greatest albums of all time. As it was so eloquently put by John Peel, "If there has been anything in the history of popular music which could be described as a work of art in a way that people who are involved in other areas of art would understand, then Trout Mask Replica is probably that work."
