This reissues a scarce vinyl album, on CD for the very first time, that includes about 30' of extra music - making the entire concert available for the first time. This is also one of the last things that the great engineer Michael King worked on before he died.

"Recorded Live by Radio Cultura de Sao Paulo, Brazil, 1986...

This album, released under all of the musician's names, but instigated and led by Elton Dean, features all of Mujician as well as the legendary American trombonist - possibly the foremost trombonist in free-jazz, Roswell Rudd. "Dunmall, Levin, Rogers a...

First time ever legitimate CD release for this very obscure, very rare, 1970 UK proto-progressive album concept album about the life of a man born at the beginning of the 20th century until the time of his death.
This has a great, fascinating booklet filled with the story of the band, the musicians and the really, really bad luck and bad business deals that dogged them! Includes 5 never-before released demo recordings. This was released in a tiny edition on the tiny Square Records label...

"This best selling trio from Tzadik’s New Japan Series returns with special guest percussionist Jim Pugliese for a spiritual exploration of sound and color. Beautifully orchestrated ambient music blending the acoustic world of violin, mandolin, ukulele...

''Death Ambient's (Ikue Mori, Kato Hideki, Fred Frith) eponymous debut CD was released in 1995 to great critical acclaim and continues to be one of Tzadik's best sellers. Synaesthesia is the long awaited follow --up and it finds them exploring new terr...

“The last we heard from Providence, Rhode Island-based songwriter Joel Thibodeau aka Death Vessel was the earthy fare of 2008's Nothing Is Precious Enough for Us. While that album wasn't exclusively folk music, its acoustic core was in line with the woodsier tendencies of Thibodeau's songwriting, serving as a gentle and sometimes dark backdrop for his uncommonly high voice and sentimental moods.
Death Vessel comes out of a six-year hiatus with Island Intervals, an icily beautiful album that veers...

“Deathprod, a.k.a. Helge Sten, has been deeply embedded in the Oslo music community for decades, but his brooding soundscapes and deliberate process make him seem sometimes like a phantom. Sten is a founding member of Supersilent, adding his sounds and treatments to the avant jazz leanings of that powerful collective, and he has collaborated with artists as diverse as Biosphere, and Led Zeppelin’s John Paul Jones. But Occulting Disk is the first new Deathprod album in 15 years; his attention to detail...

“Debo Band are a Boston-based ensemble who play music heavily inspired by Ethiopian pop music as well as American funk and Eastern European brass bands. Founded in 2006 by saxophonist Danny Mekonnen, the group is led by singer Bruck Tesfaye. Other members include guitarist Brendon Wood and electric violinist Jonah Rapino (both of Devil Music), accordion player Marié Abe (Japonize Elephants), violinist Käthe Hostetter (Qwanqwa), and sousaphonist Arik Grier (Fat Day). They have toured Ethiopia twice and...

“The third and final set in this trilogy, Decameron III has been under preparation for a long time and now all the 35 bands have completed their contributions for the album.
Includes tracks from Nexus, Il Tempio Delle Clessidre, Cirrus Bay, Latte E Miele, United Progressive Fraternity, Taproban, Il Castello Di Atlante and many others.
Decameron is a collaboration between Musea Records and the Colossus Projects (The Finnish Progressive Music Association), a project dedicated to promoting...

Decibel were a legendary Mexican chamber/rock group with improvisational leanings who are probably best known for their very fine contribution to the excellent Recommended Records Sampler double album.
This is their album Furtina Virilis, which was a reunion album from 1998 featuring the original members. Additional recordings from the 90's are added as well.
This is the bands' personal favorite of their works.

“The third prog rock album from the “past” masters LYNDEN WILLIAMS (JERUSALEM), GEOFF DOWNES (ASIA & YES), NICK D’VIRGILIO (SPOCKS BEARD) following up their critically acclaimed 2015 release “Searchin’ For A Lemon Squeezer”, which one reviewer said “If you want a break from the heavy albums and need something a little lighter, look no further that the Deckchair Poets, they might just might put a smile on your face”.
Immerse yourself in a refreshing roller coaster ride of exhilarating fun-packed...

“Two totally infectious sets from Decoy -- the trio of John Edwards, Steve Noble, and Alexander Hawkins -- reunited with pocket trumpet and saxophone player Joe McPhee on the closing night of his four day residency at Cafe OTO.
In the eight years between the recordings which make up AC/DC and their last release Spontaneous Combustion, Decoy and each of its members have been practicing individually at the very top of their form. Coming together again in such celebratory circumstances and in the good...

"In its short life, London's Café Oto has played host to more than its share of memorable gigs by such improvisers as John Tchicai, Marshall Allen and Evan Parker, but surely none more remarkable than the December 2009 meeting of the veteran American...

This group's 1st, self-titled album is classic progressive/fusion release by a quartet instrumental Italian band. Fender Rhodes piano/synths/cello, guitar/tenor sax, bass & drums. Like a bit less adventurous version of The Muffins circa Manna/Mirage, it's a minor jazz-rock classic.

"Less known to the Italian prog fans than many other far more acclaimed colleagues, the Piedmontese band Dedalus are among the most daring acts - and hence, progressive in the truest sense of the word - of the '70s...

In their prime, Deep Purple were one of the best hard rock bands, and this is the only full length footage of them during their 'mk. 2' period, which has never been seen before in full!"Recorded March 1, 1972, this concert set recorded in Copenhagen wa...

There wasn't a hell of a lot going on in music for me in the early 1980's. Even many of the punk bands had died off and in their place were what my wife referred to 'punk disco'. And it was especially grim in terms of what bands were touring around. The one very bright spot on the scene was the pre-Knitting Factory harmolodic/punk funk combination from whence sprang (in alphabetical order, so I am not playing favorites): Curlew, Doctor Nerve, Ronald Shannon Jackson and the Decoding Society, James Blood....

"DEK Trio is a new improvised music trio that features Austrians Elisabeth Harnik (piano) and Didi Kern (drums), and American Ken Vandermark (reeds), who have been performing together since September of 2014, both in Europe and in the United States. In 2016 they were featured as part of Vandermark's residency at the Stone in New York City. Their music has a wide range of influences, coming from sources based in Harnik's work as an internationally acclaimed new music composer, Kern's profile on Europea...

"'A thoughtful chill runs through the music of Benoît Delbecq, a French pianist of investigative temperament and crystalline technique. There’s a ton of compressed energy in his playing, but he projects an unflappable calm". These lines from the New York Times in 2010 by jazz critic Nate Chinen offer a pertinent description of Delbecq's music. Delbecq is a multi-awarded Parisian pianist and

Very good new album from the reformed Delirium, which sports a god-awful cover - one of the few times I am happy that our site has such tiny pics - which falls nicely into the 'rock progressive Italiano' camp!
