This is an album of constructed, somewhat electro-acoustic music, written by Francesco Zago of Yugen, and featuring work from other members of Yugen and other of his musical friends, but most noticeably and notably featuring entrancing vocals by the...

Second, final and best album by this folk/psych duo who used male and female vocals, acoustic guitars, pianos, organs, mellotron, bass, synths, percussion and more.

"Being in Berlin at the time, they soon caught the attention of of the enthusiastic Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser who signed them up for his 'new German folk music label" Pilz. The album Saat was a truly progressive folk masterpiece, with the beautiful 'English' vocals of Dolly Homes and occasionally the contrastingly Teutonic voice of Maik...

First of two from this band, which was a real rarity (as were most of the folk/progressive Basque items) until this reissue. I once read a review that described this as in the same territory as the first Renaissance line up (with Keith Relf, Jane Relf...

“The English translation of Allt Är Intet is "All Is Nothingness"
- an apt enough title for a band already possessed of the scorched earth sonic tendencies and nihilist-leaning name of The End. Yet there's some ambiguity to that philosophy; the most bleak and despairing interpretation can be countered by a more all-embracing, one-with-the-universe meditativeness. Perhaps surprisingly, either conclusion proves to fit Allt Är Intet, the remarkable second full-length album by The End. The powerhouse...

I've seen all four of these great players in various groupings and they are all monsters of swinging free-bop and this is even greater than the sum of its parts. Nice!

I'm not really a big collector of rare albums; I just don't have the stomach for the budget of it and there is so much that I have to listen to in my work that chasing down out of print vinyl doesn't have big appeal. But the last few things that I...

"This 2012 studio album of symphonic rock music was voted into the top 10 albums of 2012 in leading British broadsheet The Guardian, including the track "One and the Many" reaching 6th best song for that year. The Enid were the pioneers of Symphonic...

"The Enid are a British progressive rock band formed in 1974 by ex-Barclay James Harvest keyboard player Robert John Godfrey. Something Wicked This Way Comes, the band’s fifth album (1983) was the first Enid album to feature vocals, and this live collection was captured during the period following its release. The band then consisted of Godfrey (keyboards), Steve Stewart (guitars, bass), Chris North (drums, percussion) and Glen Tollet (bass, keyboards, tuba). Claret Hall Farm was a camping weekend for...

A mid 70s classic - and I mean classic; if you don't already own it, you have no excuse now!

Eno's brilliant 3rd solo album, from 1975. Many great instrumental and vocal pieces, all of which are justifiably classics. For me, this is definitely his single greatest work. Players include Percy Jones-fretless bass, John Cale- viola, Robert Fripp-guitars, Phil Collins-drums and Eno himself, among others. This influenced everyone one of your favorite arty rock albums for the next 5 years at a minimum!..

Classic 1975 ambient work; Eno's first 'purely' ambient work and certainly one of his best, and possibly also one of his most influencial.

"First time ever CD release of a specially created 22 track album. More Music For Films is combines the extremely hard-to-find Music For Films Volume 2 album (only released on vinyl as a part of the long out-of-print 1983 Working Backwards LP box set), together with 11 additional, never before commercially available tracks taken from the exceptionally rare, promo-only sampler (limited to just 500 copies) that was originally sent only to a select group of film directors."

“Typical ambient / instrumental Eno apart from the first track, which is a refreshing guitar-featuring piece, and this didn’t disappoint. It’s an amazing film with an incredible soundtrack. I've been recommending it to anyone who'll listen.”

Extremely influential 1979-1980 collaboration between Brian Eno and the leader of the Talking Heads (along with some guest musicians) and a lot of 'found vocalists' mostly taken from broadcasts by radio talk show hosts and evangelists. In pre-sampling days, it was a really radical idea...times have certainly changed! I remember when I worked at a record store there were people coming in every week to ask about if this was released yet! This includes 7 tracks that weren't on the original release as well...

Hmmmm...Eno, Moebius & Roedelius...that would make this.... The second of two releases by Cluster and Eno, released in 1978, this follows onward from their classic first album. Nice to have this classic spacey/ambient album generally available again. This was recorded when Eno's star was at its zenith.

"Originally released in 1978 on Sky Records, After The Heat was the second collaborative release by Brian Eno with Dieter Moebius and Hans-Joachim Roedelius (Cluster). Produced once again by Conny...

The most unusual and unique album of Frank's music that I think you'll ever hear!

This is very good music somewhere in the same neighborhood as Oregon was doing and what decades later became known in the classical music world as 'crossover'; if you like Oregon and 70s ECM, you'll most likely enjoy this album that consists of all previously unreleased material.

"Die Enttäuschung has worked its way through whatever combination of bass clarinet, trumpet, double bass and drum you can think of. With Alexander von Schlippenbach they scored a coup: Monk’s entire oeuvre presented in one live concert and documented in a three-CD box set. The Enttäuschung not only absorbed an unbelievable amount of jazz history, they also...
