Best known release from this band, which was a real rarity (as were most of the folk/progressive Basque items) until this reissue. They were mostly French, but they operated in the Basque region, which means that everyone, including me, assumed that...

"Slow and refined progressive rock with twin electric guitars was the trademark of this Basque group. They were a kind of bridge between Gilmour's Pink Floyd sound and electric folk-rock with harmony vocals. Anothe good comparison would be the...


An unbelievable price on the hard to find Japanese version of this great album!



To be fair, we must mention that these copies have a VERY MINOR cut on the side.

Emerging in the very late 1970's, Eskaton were one of the very first Zeuhl bands. This was their very first release, which came out originally on cassette only! At this time, the group consisted of three keyboardists (Fender Rhodes, organ, synthesizer)...

Emerging in the very late 1970's, Eskaton were one of the very first Zeuhl bands. This was their second vinyl album which was recorded in late 1982, and is reissued for the very first time. Dual female vocals chant and soar above the churning bass and...

Very nice 'acid folk revival' music by a trio of vocals (both male and female) acoustic and electric guitars, dulcimer, finger cymbals, chimes, keyboards, recorder, autoharp, bass, violin and "acid leads", as well as guests on flute, viola and cello. I...

"Philadelphia trio Espers' first two releases-- 2004's Espers and 2005's The Weed Tree-- were inadvertently incorporated into the big freak-folk/New Weird America snowball that also tumbled over and swallowed up Devendra Banhart, Joanna Newsom, Animal ...

2009 release by the fine ensemble who basically invented (or more accurately REinvented and gave a new name to) the freak folk genre.

Drummer/percussionist Toni Esposito released about five very nice fusion releases in Italy during the mid 1970's that combined elements of bands like Weather Report with a sunny, Mediterranean flavor. This uses guitars, saxes, keyboards and bass in add...

Percussionist Toni Esposito is pretty much forgotten now, but in the mid 70's he released four very good to excellent albums of Italian jazz/rock. He eventually ended up as a semi-member of Perigeo, performing excellently on at least one of their album...

Nice to see this obscure Catalan jazz-rock band's material available! You can hear hints of flamenco mixed in, which marks this band as a product of Spain.

"The King of Space-Age Pop, the genius of Mexican composer-arranger Juan Garcia Esquivel lay in his audacious instrumentation; his blending together of exotic sounds from other cultures and experimentation with the new tonal palettes that were becoming...


L'Estate di San Martino were one of many unrecorded progressive rock bands from Italy in the 1970s. Well, they weren't completely unrecorded, as they released a single in 1978, but basically, they were completely unknown outside of Italy. During...

"L'Estate di San Martino is finally back with a marvellous third album, which is usually defined as the 'maturity' one for a band. This particular ensemble was actually founded in 1975 in Perugia, Italy, but only able to release a 7" single in 1978....

"If you enjoy the music of bands like Mr. Bungle, Farmers Market, Charming Hostess, and other great fusion bands along those lines, then you'll definitely want to buy this album." - Unearthed.com.

Not sure how this cool, wacky band ended up on...

Great to have a chance to actually SEE them make this wild stuff! "Unmistakably derived from the genre-bending loins of experimental rockers Mr. Bungle and Secret Chiefs 3, Estradasphere respectfully lives up to the ambitious musical aims of their...
