Psych /
Unripened (demos And Rare Tracks)
One of the most important 'lost' music recordings out there, this is the original version of the classicl album - recorded in April 1966 - that Andy Warhol eventually presented to Columbia Records, who chose to reject the demos. The track order is different from the release, and the band didn't record "Sunday Morning" and "There She Goes" until later, so those songs aren't included here. Some tracks sound the same as the released tracks, and others are markedly different, and even a little rawer…

Machines: Amherst 1969
*2025 stock* Lothar And The Hand People emerged as one of the earliest pioneers to mix electronics into rock, incorporating theremin and synthesizers into their sonic onslaught. Led by Lothar (a theremin) and his cast of digit possessing musicians wielding guitar, bass, drums, and one of the first (and largest) modular Moogs! This, their first ever live album, captures them with the passion and energy that can only come from a band’s final show before Lothar was forever unplugged.
So Einfach Ist Das
These recordings are indeed a minor sensation! It's hard to imagine that, apart from the well-known recordings in the GDR, something "different and deeper" existed in the late 1960s alongside appealing soul and jazz bands. Modern and progressive fuzzy and funky jazz rock. Really? But yes, "So einfach war das wohl / it was probably that simple" back then. The highly talented pianist Ulrich Gumpert played and composed in one of the country's most renowned ensembles, the Klaus Lenz Orchestra, since…

Good Bye
Their sophomore release, after their supreme 1972 psychedelic debut, is a proto-hard rock affair. The Japanese power trio is in a more enthusiastic jammin' mode, with deep heavy blues notation. Ensure this lost classic now and forever!
Rainbow Band
The Danish prog band was nothing short of a supergroup, established in early 1970 by local leading rock and jazz artists. Their self-titled debut was released in December, before lead vocalist Lars Bisgaard was suddenly replaced by Alan Mortesen. This magnificent opus is a must have for any jazz-rock and psych-folk aficionados.
Moonmadness
2025 stock Moonmadness was originally released in March 1976. It was their fourth album and the last to feature the band's original line-up (Latimer, Bardens, Ferguson, Ward). After the success of the tightly structured, instrumental The Snow Goose in 1975, the band added vocals to their music again. The tracks that comprised the album were conceived as a loose concept based on the individual personalities that made up Camel; Air Born about Andrew Latimer, Lunar Sea about Andy Ward, Chord Change…
Without Earth
Dive deep into the realms of psychedelic soul with the one and only The Moon! Born in the summer of love, the band debuted in 1968 with his first album Without Earth. Surrounded by a clear Magical Mystery Tour feel, the group covers two songs off Colours (another obscure American group) debut album. "Brother Lou's Love Colony" in particular has little sitar flourishes fulfilling the idea of a serious homage to the Liverpool four. The remaining 10 tracks are all originals with the solid hard rock…

Fields
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…
Kokkyou Junreika
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 …
Deep Feeling
One of the British progressive era’s most intriguing but overlooked groups, Deep Feeling were an obscure short-lived band from Kent. Their one and only album from 1971 contained six tracks that showcased their dazzling harmonies and superior musicianship. Highly collectable amongst UK progressive rock aficionados, the record has been finally officially re-issued.

The Truth
If you face a „Jesus“ look-alike in a white robe with an acoustic guitar and a beard in full blossom on the cover of a record you know you’re on the trail of a real oddity, in whatever way it might be. Then you check the name and it says D.R. Hooker on the cover. Is it his name or is he a doctor who cures prostitutes, so called “hookers” ? What is this all about? With a bit of effort you may find out that this is the name of a musician from the Connecticut scene of the early 70s and that he gath…
