A very early release by humorist/poet/musician Ivor Cutler, probably best known for his appearance in Magical Mystery Tour and his albums on Virgin in the mid 1970's. This is a reissue of a 1967 artifact by "The Ivor Cutler Trio" (Ivor on vocals &...

This 1996 release has got to be the last - or at least one of the very last - CMP releases. Scott Cutshall-drums, percussion, Dave Liebman-soprano sax, Russ Lossing-piano and Tony Marino-bass.

"Scott did the RIGHT THING!! He let the musicians...

“This very limited edition companion CD to ‘Pictures From The Other Side’ has a running time of 64 minutes. The album contains 8 songs; 4 of which are re-mixes from the main album and 4 are live acoustic performances of songs from ‘For King And County’.”

"Cybotron was one of the first,if not the first,electronic rock bands in Australia.Cybotron released this, their self- titled debut in 1976.
The group draws heavily on synthesisers (as would be expected), electronic and acoustic percussion, plus saxophone and played minimalist, repetitive progressive-style electronica in a style that emulated the direction of the 1970's German cosmic sounds.
Heavily influenced by the electronic/kraut acts of Germany like Kraftwerk,Neu,Tangerine Dream or Ash Ra Tempel.

"Previously unreleased DIY homemade psychedelia, teen beat, and fuzz-psych/prog by the amazing Swedish band Cymbeline, recorded from 1965-1971. Tracks like "Third Image" or "Look At The Stars" are an incredible find for anyone into US garage-psych (they wouldn't sound out of place on any Pebbles or Psychedelic Unknowns volume) and others like "Flicka", "Stolta Vingar", or "Mittuppslag" are top-notch, '70s fuzzed-out Scandinavian psych/prog. Formed in the industrial town of Norrköping in the mid '60s...

"Jeremiah Cymerman is a remarkable clarinetist and conceptualist who now resides in Brooklyn. He has performed and recorded with Matt Welch, Sam Kulik, Mary Halvorson and Jessica Pavone among many others. The bulk of his work centers around creating a...

Very good, rock / prog style release; very little ‘metal’ to be found here.

"CYNIC has made its long-awaited return with ‘Ascension Codes,’ the highly anticipated follow up to 2014’s critically acclaimed ‘Kindly Bent to Free Us.’ ‘Ascension Codes’ is the latest evolution in CYNIC’s legendary career as the band is now fully immersed within the progressive rock genre, once again exploring new territory and pushing the boundaries as they boldly step outside their comfort zone to reach a new apex...

Something pretty different for us but also something that is of very high quality and that I've been playing pretty constantly since getting a sample of this about a month ago. Founded in 1987, Cynic distinguished themselves for their unique (for the...

Andrew Cyrille - drums
Bill McHenry - tenor saxophone

"The rare duo setting between percussionist and saxophonist has only a few recorded examples, think John Coltrane and Rashied Ali’s classic Interstellar Space.
Inspired by a remarkable Village Vanguard performance, first time producer Max Koslow asked the legendary drummer Andrew Cyrille and saxophone luminary Bill McHenry to record an album for him. The resulting recording Proximity highlights these two masters in the most intimate..

“Der Osten Ist Rot starts off with the atrocious "Photo Song" which reeks of mid-80s banality and, open first listen, suggests that Czukay had completely lost his relevance. But if you can make it past that first track, the remainder of the album is completely out there - so much so that I am surprised Virgin released it - with only "Das Massenmedium" offering anything catchy, albeit still firmly within a left-of-center approach. In fact, once you've grown accustomed to Der Osten Ist Rot's warped...

“I was about to give up on Czukay, but then he released this, easily his best work since Der Osten Ist Rot. Moving Pictures is an elusive, understated, and fleeting album, perfectly replicating that liminal stage between sleep and wakefulness. The space between the sounds is just as important as the sounds themselves. A really unique work that is also notable for the lyrical content of the final track, which preempts The Matrix.”-rateyourmusic

“Upon examining the eventful life of Can bassist Holger Czukay, one might come to the conclusion that this intrepid musician was a loner. His turbulent career exuded an enduring eccentricity governed by a boundless free spirit. Yet Czukay, who passed away unexpectedly last year at the age of 79, constantly emphasized that his creativity was always contingent upon a musical partner, whether that was a skin-and-bones counterpart or an anonymous manifestation that interacted with him through radio waves or...

"One of the most celebrated folks in improvised music, Swedish saxophonist Mats Gustafsson made three ultra-limited edition vinyl LPs, each featuring a different dedication to a favorite musician from the past. Released in batches of 99, these records found Gustafsson playing compositions by Duke Ellington, Albert (and his brother Donald) Ayler, and the important post-bop baritone player Lars Gullin. Long out-of-print, these priceless slabs of free music have quickly become sought after collector’s items...

"I've been working hard finishing the new Sanctuary IV album, but needed a break to clean the musical pallatte, so I really wanted to do something different. At the age of 8 I had two albums for Christmas, "The Sound OF Music" and "Tubular Bells". The latter defined my musical path. That Christmas my brother had Jean Michel Jarre "Oxygen" as his present.
Over the years, and especially of late, I've realised how much of an influence that electronic music has been to me over the years. From Jarre...

Legendary, NWW name-checked, 1968 tape assemblage by Holger Czukay and Rolf Dammers.

“Holger Czukay, before his famous work in Can, was disciple of Karlhein Stochausen. He learned a lot about electronic and concrete music and tape manipulation. His first album, "Canaxis" predates almost every experiment with world music: from Popol Vuh to Brian Eno, from Steve Roach to SPK. Holger created tape loops with found voices and sounds (coming from Vietnam, China and Japan generally). "Canaxis" uses...
