CD box sets

For ONE C-note plus, you get everything. Studio, live, outtakes, etc etc etc. Most of you already have this, but if you don’t already have this, it’s a fantastic deal.

Also, just thought I would mention that once upon a time, I got a ride back to London from Guilford Civic Hall, after the show, with the band in the van on the cover on the box!

“17 CDs, 1 DVD and 250 pages of histories, testimony commentaries and photographs - in a sturdy box.
This collection brings togethe

This box collects recordings from 1950-2016 by the master of Musique Concrete!

“This is a wonderfully produced box set of some of the most incomprehensible music ever created. That's not a criticism, it was meant to challenge our notions of the form. And in that he succeeds.
I have to say that I think you need to have listened to both 20th century "classical" music and 21st century progressive pop to really appreciate how Henry's manipulation of sound scape has become the way we now think...

Newly lowered and extremely attractive pricing on this excellent box set. Hugely recommended to fans of 70s electronic sounds!

Here are the five albums that launched a hundred US freak folk bands: The Incredible String Band, The 5000 Spirits Or The Layers Of The Onion, The Hangman's Beautiful Daughter, Wee Tam and The Big Huge.

This is the three legendary albums by this very, very experimental, very very early avant group (1967-68) exploring sound collage, mixed media and much more. NOT on the NWW list, probably only because they were too obscure for them to even know about them!

"This three-disc box collects Number One Intersystems (1967), presenting the correct side sequence and (for the first time) the original tracks' sub-section divisions; Peachy (1967), with (for the first time) the correct track separations...

“Wind Borne - The Island Albums 1974-1978 features newly remastered versions of
Floating World
Waves
Kites
Way Of The Sun

After releasing a series of albums for Vertigo Records, the original line-up of Jade Warrior split in 1973. Flautist Jon Field and innovative guitarist Tony Duhig decided to continue under the.

This is the complete output (and more!) by the top jazz/rock band from Czechoslovakia in the 70s and into the very early 80s. The group was originally formed at the very beginning of the 70s by the electric pianist/electric keyboardist Martin Kartochvil, with some ex-members of Modry Effekt. The earlier albums have the emphasis on electric piano and are influenced by early Weather Report and early electric Miles. As time went on, Martin increased his collection of keyboards to be the arsenal one would...

"Angels And Daemons At Play is the fourth installment in the ongoing Motorpsycho luxury box-set reissue program. While almost every Motorpsycho release is, in one way or another, a step forward, backwards, sideways, or most often everything at once, Angels And Daemons At Play, originally released in 1997, is probably their first coming-of-age album.
