“The Duck Deluxe box includes the CD plus an exclusive USB "Duck Drive", containing pro-shot in-studio live video of 6 songs, hours of bonus audio (demos/alt mixes), BTS picture gallery, the "Duck Pass" laminate, and more. The ultimate package for Aristocrats fans and instrumental rock diehards who want to go deep on the band’s first ever concept album.”

"The band D.A.T.A. consists of four members of South London musicians, who met a year ago. Through a mutual interest in pushing improvised jazz further, they formed a collective that gave them their own unique voices. The band name D.A.T.A. derives...

“Thirteen years after the debut with “Disorganicorigami”, the Daal publish their 7th studio album: “Daedalus”. After the release of “Decalogue of Darkness” in 2018 (the most successful album), Alfio and Davide met in Roma in 2019 in order to organize the next artistic activity. The Daal musical expression has always been featuring dark themes or descriptions of tough psychological situations. Even if full of literary influences, the musical offer is mostly instrumental. The Daal’s music is personal...

Instrumental progressive music in a long suite with heavy, heavy mellotron use. A little bit sound-contruction/avant-leaning mixed with old school Rock Progressivo Italiano. Did I already mention mellotrons? Uniqu

Avant chamber-rock with R.I.O. type leanings and modern production touches and values. Very good stuff from a band who has been doing it their own way for nearly 20 years!

So, around 1995 or so, there was this really great album on a tiny label of this young band who were obviously well trained classically and who fused pop, eastern-european folk and classical music, with jazz and a punk attitude.
Suddenly in 1998 they reappear as DAAU on SONY Classics (!), with a very good album that included lots of musical guests. Of course *that* didn't last, and so since that time they re-emerge every now and then with a new release.
This is their first album, available...

Suddenly in 1998 they reappear as DAAU on SONY Classics (!), with a very good album that included lots of musical guests. Of course *that* didn't last, so they are back on a little label again (their own, I think) for this release which celebrates 25 years of their musical...

Despite a French-sounding name, D'Accord are a Norwegian prog-rock sextet (vocals and flute, dual keyboards, guitar, bass and drums) and this is their second album. They combine elements of classic progressive rock (I hear Jethro Tull, King Crimson)...

This 1981 release was the only album released during the lifetime of this Japanese electronic / ambient cross-genre duo, which consisted of Kenji Konishi (synths, guitars) and Izumi Mutsuhiko (synths, guitar, violin) and has long been unavailable on CD.
Now it's available again at a reasonable price, especially for a Japanese release, as a special blu-spec CD release!

Good and unusual band from France making their debut here. The quintet lineup is electric/acoustic guitar and vocals, keyboards, flute/vibraphone, bass and drums. This actually does what many 'progressive rock' albums set out to do; it incorporates...

"Collaboration between New York beat poet Steve Dalachinsky and French art-rockers The Snobs. Dalachinsky plays with words like models William Burroughs or Allen Ginsberg did few decades ago: using cut-up and automatic writing, he creates new meanings. Not only a writer, Dalachinsky performs regurarly with free-jazz musicians and friends to give his text a new life. You can see the poet at work, how he breaks the rules of the language to create his own and how he embodies his words to converse with the....

This is sophisticated jazz/rock as only the Brazilians can do it!

"‘Making Shore’ – the group’s third album - is another winner from Damanek - once again Sean Timms’ production lends a touch of class to the overall sound of this impressive third album. Those who are fans of longer tracks will love ‘Oculus’ which weighs in at over 30, minutes long closing a truly magnificent album.
Guy Manning: Creating ‘Making Shore’ has been a real labour of love. Demos for the pieces were written quite quickly nearly 3 years ago after the European tour, a set of songs in keeping...

This big band, led by T.S. Heg (alto sax & keyboards) is nominally a 'jazz outfit', but since in addition to lots of reeds, brass, bass and drums, they work with guitars, synths, sampling, etc., it's a fairly safe bet that this isn't 'just' a jazz albu...

"On “Caravan to the Stars,” Dark Matter Halo (a.k.a. Monte Cimino) teams up with legendary bassist/producer Bill Laswell to create a landscape of warm low-end dub and dark ethereal textures that float towards the heavens. Laswell’s signature bass sound is organically interwoven with Cimino and Sneeringer’s analog and digital textures, ominous droning violins conjured up by Whitley, and pulsating beats created by Laswell and Cimino; resulting in the dynamic interplay of acoustic and digital synthesis that..

“David Janssen is best known for his work as Ted The Loaf in Renaldo & The Loaf. When the band came to a halt in 2006, he concentrated on solo music. The Darkening Scale project was born. It is a purely digital affair created by David in his home studio. This is what David says about the album:
Hydrogen Kaleidoscope, like previous Darkening Scale releases re-examines the material, plus tracks from Secondhand Muon, to make a revised 'best of' version of the two releases. Seems like ancient history to..

"The Darkening Scale is the solo project of David Janssen aka Ted The Loaf of Renaldo & The Loaf. A purely digital affair, DS started in 2006 when RATL was on hold. The Entomology of Sound was the first album and came out as digital file and a very limited CDr. David says about it: "Back in 2006, much to my surprise, I found myself making music again after a long gap.

“For their fourth full length release since the band was formed in 2018, Das Rad has returned to basics with an expanded line up. Following on from two “lockdown” albums where the original trio worked mainly in their own studios, much of the basic tracking for Veer was played live. We also welcome bass guitarist Jon Short to the.


This is a collection of rare material, previously released only on cassette, from the early 80s and which is definitely reminiscent of DEVO's better material from the same period and earlier. As they say: "Excavation of astounding underground post-punk recorded from 1979-1983"

Legit reissue of an album recorded in 1969 and originally released by Wolfgang himself in 1970 and then later licensed to and released by Brain in 1972!
The band is:
Wolfgang Dauner-piano, organ, flute
Siegfried Schwabb-guitar
Eberhard Weber-bass, cello
Fred Braceful & Roland Wittich-drums

Proto-kozmigroov, with major psychedelic and soulful moves and great, grooving, double-drumming! Comparable to, and absolutely as good as Brian Auger's work of the same era.

"No doubt: German piano player and composer Wolfgang Dauner is one of the most important figures of the jazz scene in Germany. He left his footprints by - more than oftenly - breaking new ground. From the early 1960 years on he worked exclusively...

"They were exciting years, when Miles Davis used to drive through New York in an open sports car listening to Stockhausen's tape manipulations, and when Kraftwerk and Can in Düsseldorf and Cologne developed their own special style of Kraut rock. Experimentation with electronic music, and research into all its possibilities, were very exciting, but could be extremely frustrating too, especially under live conditions. "There were no instructions, no one who could help you to find the different sounds and...

“It was once said that listening to Antiphonals was, “like listening to a progressive rock album except it’s just the keyboard parts.”
Davachi offers here a slow and sedate solo affair composed with the various horns and woodwinds of the mellotron alongside organs, pianos, harpsichord, and more quiet delights.”

“This is an album I have dreamed of for decades. I've experimented with this kind of sustained harmonic shifting and drone but never come close. This is what organs are built for but very few composers have the courage to explore the unique possibilities they create.”–Stuart Maxwell

“The new Sarah Davachi record is an 80 minute, 17 track double album meditation on impermanence and endings, framed by minimalistic organ études and careful harmonic layering. On two tracks the artist’s own vocals...
