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...

This is Made To Measure release #49! Maybe imagine Penguinn Café Orchestra in a smaller ensemble size and with more tuned percussion instruments and with a bit (just a bit, but definitely noticable) more dissonance in their work and you might have a good of idea of what this album does!

“Depending on the chosen directions, compositions and instrumentation, Ensemble 0 plays with an astonishing variety of topographies. First and foremost with it's own compositions and with the trio, which is like...

“Tuxedomoon is an experimental, post-punk, new wave band from San Francisco, California. All members of the band had solo careers next to the output of Tuxedomoon, with Steven Brown releasing a new album in 2021, and touring Europe in 2022. After composing and recording the sountrack for the film "El Informe Toledo" Steven was asked by the director Albino Alvarez to perform the music live at the film's premiere in the Cineteca Nacional in Mexico City. Having employed session musicians for the recording...

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.

“Sophisticated Rock with polyphonic vocals, multi-layered structure and frequent rhythm and tempo changes, like Gentle Giant. All self-written songs.
The LP by the Wiesbaden band was recorded in Fred Kersten's studio in April 1976 and was released on the Kerston label in 1977, in an edition of 1000 copies. In 1992, there was a CD issue that was copied from vinyl, was not in the original cover and without bonus tracks.
The CD issue is from the master tapes, has a booklet of 32 pages, comes with..

The earliest albums by Epitaph are a bit all over the place but also all very good! Hard rock, King Crimson inspired progressive rock and even plenty of Wishbone Ash in the duo guitar work. A melting pot of the early’70s creative rock scene.
This is their first two albums, Epitaph (1971) and Stop Look and Listen (1972) + an entire second disc of rarities and live material from the same period!

“French cellist Vincent Courtois, French-English reedist Robin Fincker and French-German saxophonist Daniel Erdmann form a sworn trinity for quite some time. The leading figures of European jazz started this trio 13 years ago and they released 3 albums so far (Love of Life, Bandes Originales and Mediums). This unique double impro album is a fine example of engaging, masterful chamber music.”

“Ergo's music is also rooted in jazz...fused with electronica and a distinct avant-garde feel. ...quite beautiful and moving...a bit like Sigur Ros meeting Sun Ra uptown.” – Terrascope

“This is music that evolves slowly, almost imperceptibly; yet for all its freedom, there's no shortage of structure...Sroka takes a different approach to composition, one where improvisation and structure work hand-in-hand, each feeding the other.” – All About Jazz...

“The combination of Espen Eriksen Trio and UK saxophone giant Andy Sheppard is truly a match made in jazz heaven, and in the words of Andy: "I knew from the first time I heard the trio play that I would fit right in. I loved the melodic sense and vibe and was thrilled when I was invited to guest with the trio in London in 2016."

Another extraordinarily good archival find in fine sound. E.S. were a progressive hard rock Krautrock outfit, featuring an excellent heavy guitarist who reminds me of a cross of early Martin Barre/Mick Abrahams with a bit of Jimi Hendrix tossed in! The quartet also included a reed player who mostly played flute as well as bass & drums. Long, heavy instrumental jams that might be comparable to the heaviest instrumental bits of early Tull, due to the guitar style & flute. They had a contract to record for...
