“Batoh is back! Solo again after last fall’s new Silence album, the Japanese psychedelic guru makes some one-man performances,, with others featuring Ghost and Silence family members, including free drumming legend of Fushitsusha and early Ghost, Hiroyuki Usui. In the richness of an all-analog production, Batoh decries the existential opacity of our latter-day faith, drawing deeply from the musical, linguistic and spiritual traditions of ALL countries, fused into a new music for the believers and non...

Stefano Battaglia: piano, prepared piano
Michele Rabbia: percussion, electronics

"In this beautiful duo album by two of Italy’s most creative musicians, roles are frequently overturned, as lyrical percussion shades into electronics and...

"A tenor saxophone quartet, formed by Travis Laplante. One morning, Travis Laplante literally awoke with the crystal clear vision that he needed to start an ensemble with three specific individuals Matthew Nelson, Jeremy Viner, and Patrick Breiner. Laplante was actually unfamiliar with their work as musicians and had only a minimal relationship with them as individuals. He was also aware that a band of four tenor saxophones could be the worst idea ever. In spite of this, Laplante followed through and...

Matt Bauder, tenor saxophone / Nate Wooley trumpet / Kris Davis piano / Jason Ajemian double bass / Tomas Fujiwara, drums.

"Tenor saxophonist and clarinetist Matt Bauder is one of those young musicains who has an equal capacity to play in...

Conrad Bauer, Trombone / Johannes Bauer, Trombone

A great, subtle set from masterful trombonist Bauer. This consists of solo trombone + electronics, including long delays & much more. [Victo]

Think of this as a Cuneiform release that got away from us but that should NOT get away from you! Composer/flautist Jamie Baum has been making records for at least 10 years or so, but it wasn't until this album was pitched to us by her that I really...

Just in time for the reissues of "Romance '76" and "Trans Harmonic Nights" comes the first new music from Peter in something like 20 years! And it's good, capturing the sort of 'spare but still Berlin-school' vibe of his early classics!

"In October 2014 an idea suddenly came to mind. Although I had spent much of my life performing, recording and producing music, my attention over the immediately preceding years had been focused on the philosophy and psychology of human nature. It was a rewarding...

An important, long-time and key member of Tangerine Dream, Peter Baumann was with the group through mostl of their most important work.
This was his second solo album and was released not too long after he left Tangerine Dream. It's a fine work and it has been unavailable on CD for nearly 20 years.

"Peter Baumann's second recording does not fail to send one to new worlds both inner and outer and anyone familiar with his music will play it over and over. In my opinion Tangerine Dream never...

“Max Hunt was introduced to Bob Hagger & Clive Bayley of Mabel Greer's Toyshop in 2015 by Yes biographer Dave Watkinson, as MGT had reformed and were looking for a keyboard player for their next album. Max joined the band and played keyboards on and co-produced the second MGT..

"BB&C is an explosive three-headed monster featuring New York City alto saxophonist Tim Berne, downtown drummer Jim Black and the ever-exploring Nels Cline on guitar. Their debut CD 'The Veil" is from a live recording at The Stone in New York City....

"Recorded in the Spring of 1974 at several studios in London, AXE VICTIM was released by EMI’s Harvest label in June 1974 to much critical praise and introduced Be Bop Deluxe to the record buying public. The album featured the band’s first line-up of BILL NELSON (vocals, lead guitar, acoustic guitar, piano), IAN PARKIN (rhythm & acoustic guitars, organ), ROB BRYAN (bass guitar, vocals) and NICHOLAS CHATTERTON-DEW (drums).
AXE VICTIM was a fine debut and was championed by DJ John Peel (who had been.....

“Brian Wilson's gift to 20th-century music elevated this pop album into a beguiling musical and emotional cogency that still operates outside pop culture's fickle space-time continuum--and limited critical lexicon. There's never been another record to compare and certainly no album has been as dissected, overanalyzed, and predigested for public consumption.
The techno-marvel centerpiece of that project--the album's first true stereo mix, painstakingly conjured out of multitape session sources by ...

Driving, epic guitar based psych / stoner music from Australia, with ethereal, nearly drowned out by the waves of guitars, female vocals. Very good stuff with a certain hard-edged, yet floating quality!

"Iconic Australian psych rock quintet Beaches return with epic double LP Second Of Spring - Chapter Music's first double album by a single artist. Beaches' much-loved second album She Beats brought the band international acclaim in 2013. Featuring guitar by German motorik hero Michael Rother (Neu...

"Beak>'s second album was recorded in just one afternoon - quite a feat given that mainman Geoff Barrow is better known as one third of Portishead, who have managed just three albums in 18 years. The results are impressive, if disconcerting, as they build on Portishead's noirish textures and – with vocals buried so deep in the mix as to make them unintelligible – take a turn for the darker. Yatton and Elevator throb along on pulsing motorik rhythms; Kidney sounds like Bad Moon Rising-era Sonic Youth; while

The latest from this fine Swedish band finds them jettisoning some of the heavier elements of their last release, The Void, and returning more to the sound of Mammoth, which might be their masterpiece. Excellent, modern progressive rock. This includes...

This 2003 release is Beardfish's first album. The band are a quintet: Robert Hansen-bass, David Zackrisson-guitar, tapes, vocals, Magnus Östrgren-drums, Rikard Sjöblom-vocals, guitar, piano and Stefan Aronsson-organ, Moog, vocals. It's a very good...

Boy From Black Mountain is the third release from the determinedly eclectic Boston-based ensemble Beat Circus. Beat Circus is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter Brian Carpenter. The music bridges a number of disparate genres...

“These Wicked Things is the fourth release from the determinedly eclectic Boston-based band Beat Circus and the final installment in singer/multi-instrumentalist/composer Brian Carpenters Weird American Gothic trilogy [after his Cuneiform releases Dreamland and Boy From Black Mountain]. The record bridges a number of disparate genres including experimental music, cowpunk, post-punk, Mexican folk music, mariachi music, and spaghetti western and giallo film scores.
These Wicked Things began after...

Federico Zenoni: drums and objects

“Beauty Is In The Distance is Dave Newhouse (of Muffins), guitarist Luciano Margorani (of La 1919) and drummer Federico Zenoni (also recently active with La 1919). In 2016 the trio released the album " Beauty Is In The Distance " on the Milan label Alma De Nieto, which was followed in 2019 by the album " Romantic Suite under the project name " Beauty Is In The...

One of the greatest Cameroonian musicians, this album focuses on his work with the sanza, a type of African thumb piano, and it's totally enthralling and entrancing as only the best African pop records can be. Highly recommended!...

Classic loud and heavy album by Jeff Beck (one of Jeff's heaviest) with the rhythm section of Vanilla Fudge.

"Turtle Records is proud to present these excellent performances, now transferred and collated, which capture the group playing a variety of some well-known compositions plus a large number of Gordon Beck originals, which are surely a must for any serious modern jazz fan.
They chronicle a peak period of creativity and performance by Gordon involving key lineups of his groups with musicians including a who's who of British Jazz: Jeff Clyne, Johnny Butts, Ron Mathewson, John McLaughlin, Tony Oxley...

"When it was originally released in June 1969, Beck-Ola, the Jeff Beck Group's second album, featured a famous sleeve note on its back cover: "Today, with all the hard competition in the music business, it's almost impossible to come up with anything totally original. So we haven't. However, this LP was made with the accent on heavy music. So sit back and listen and try and decide if you can find a small place in your heads for it." Beck was reacting to the success of peers and competitors like Cream and...
