"Originally released in November 1974 on Pye's Dawn label, The Prince of Heaven s Eyes was the third release by Northern Irish progressive rock masters Fruupp. A wonderful exercise in Symphonic and Melodic rock, the album is now regarded as Fruupp's...

Now here is a real rarity from 1974 reissued. Claudio Fucci sings and plays keyboards, and he is joined by various combinations of 2 guitarists, a 2nd keyboardist on piano/mellotron/organ, bass, drums and harmonica/moog/vibes. "This was the only 'singe...

What can I say? These guys are The Fucking Champs. Seriously - take one part all the heavy rock moves of the 70's, but performed by guys who know how cheesy it is & play it better and heavier than can be believed and with a wink too, stir in an a bit...

Fufluns are a band made up of musicians from different bands renowned in the Italian Progressive Rock scene : Simone Cecchini (Il Bacio della Medusa), Alfio Costa (Prowlers,Daal and Tilion), Guglielmo Mariotti (Mr.Punch, La Bocca della Verità, The Watch), Simone Coloretti (Egoband), Marco Freddi (Prowlers).
After their debut album “Spaventapasseri” that has distinguished itself for the dreamlike atmospheres and a songwriting prog rock attitude, Fufluns amaze us with a second album that conveys...

After Schicke, Fuhrs & Frohling (S.F.F.) broke up, the guitarist and the keyboardist continued on, making 3 albums. This album is a previously unreleased live show from 12/23/80, towards the end of their career and includes tracks from their albums, as...

"In his third CD for Tzadik, Mamoru Fujieda continues his fascinating exploration of the creativity of, by and about plant life with five more pieces from his continuing series Patterns of Plants. Utilizing the violin in combination with two Japanese...

''Jazz, contemporary classical and traditional Japanese folk music blend seamlessly in Satoko Fujii's powerful and unique musical universe. Presented here are three intimate groupings: in duo with her long time associate Sachi Hayasaka, in trio with th...

“The Out Louds is a new formation of three accomplished improvisers: clarinetist Ben Goldberg, guitarist Mary Halvorson and drummer Tomas Fujiwara. While improvising ensembles usually work within a style, The Out Louds seem to be living up to their name, literally ‘thinking out loud’, seeking different ways to meld their musical thoughts.
Distinct approaches arise everywhere here, whether it’s a lead voice establishing a distinctly odd tack or supportive bits that wander far afield, sometimes...

Tomas Fujiwara – drums
Gerald Cleaver - drums
Mary Halvorson – guitar
Brandon Seabrook - guitar
Taylor Ho Bynum – cornet
Ralph Alessi - trumpet

This double trio is an utter delight; the double drumming is great and hearing Brandon and Mary go toe to toe is just as wonderful as hearing Taylor and Ralph do the same!

"Bandleader, composer, and drummer Tomas Fujiwara possesses a musical dexterity that could go unnoticed if not for its ripple effect. He has brought his.

Yuko Fujiyama: Piano, Voice
Graham Haynes: Cornet, Electronics
Ikue Mori: Electronics

“With Quiet Passion, pianist Yuko Fujiyama finally releases another album as a leader after a long break from publishing. For this eagerly awaited addition to her sparse discography, Yuko invites the great innovators Graham Haynes on cornet and Ikue Mori on electronics. The album is a mix of piano solos, duets and extraordinarily imaginative densely woven miniatures. Quiet Passion suggests a dual...

"An official reissue of Ryo Fukui's highly sought-after masterpiece Scenery, originally released in 1976. Unquestionably one of the most important Japanese jazz albums ever recorded, Scenery reveals Ryo Fukui as a miraculously brilliant self-taught pianist fusing modal, bop, and cool jazz influences for a very personal, dexterous, and game-changing take on classic standards made famous by Bing Crosby and John Coltrane among others.
From "It Could Happen To You" and its serene and calm intro which...

"With all the projects Peter Brötzmann is currently working on, Full Blast -- with the precise and dynamic Swiss rhythm section of Marino Pliakas and Michael Wertmüller -- is the most consistent and the longest-running. Their fifth album finds the band in a studio again, with time and the desire to try something new. Seven compositions in the distinctive, strong Full Blast nature get an exciting electronic treatment by Michael Wertmüller (with electronics by Gerd Rische, recorded months before his death...

Chris Biscoe-reeds, Brian Godding-guitar synth, Marcio Mattos-double bass, Tony Marsh-drums. A unique opportunity to hear the great & under-rated guitarist Brian Godding (who has played with everyone from Mike Westbrook, Julie Tippetts, Blossom Toes an...

Curtis Fuller : trombone
Bill Hardman : trumpet
Jimmy Heath : tenor
Earl Dunbar: guitar
Cedar Walton : electric piano
Mickey Bass : electric bass
Billy Higgins : drums

This 1972 release is the first electric release for Mainstream, and came out the year before the excellent follow up, 'Crankin'.
This has only been out on CD once before a full two decades ago and has long been unavailable in any format!
Honestly, for me it isn't nearly as good as Crankin', but

''Ellen Fullman was born in Memphis TN in 1957. Her career in music was launched at the age of one, when Elvis Presley kissed her hand.'' Fullman is well known for her installation works featuring her ''long string instrument'', a large number of music...

"Long one of Boston's musical gems, The Fully Celebrated (Orchestra) have always been Jim Hobbs: alto sax, Timo Shanko: bass, and Django Carranza: drums. A jazz band playing the rock clubs like the young punks they were, developing along the way into...

1999 solo album by half of Dweller At The Threshold. Good electronic music release.

I found out about this band because it includes violinist Martin Lauwers, also of Univers Zero! This is their first release and is strongly in the 'new music/new rock from Belgium' mold! ...

2005 remasters with great, informative, fat booklets and bonus tracks. Funkadelic, led by George Clinton, who is still active and still crazy like a fox, were the Black American, weird, psychedelic/funk outfit of the early 1970's, featuring acid-drench...

2005 remasters with great, informative, fat booklets and bonus tracks. Funkadelic, led by George Clinton, who is still active and still crazy like a fox, were the Black American, weird, psychedelic/funk outfit of the early 1970's, featuring acid-drenched guitar leads, soulful vocals, funky organ-work and drumming and much more. This is their 1st album, which is amazingly wild and freaky for a 1970 release; especially for a "Black band".
This one is especially interesting, because all of the...

Latest from Keiji Haino's highly polarizing power-trio, recorded live at the '97 Victo Festival. This is one of those records of a concert that it's good to have, if only so that you can listen to it at a volume of your own choosing (which will probabl...

Very very good, instrumentally-leaning Spanish progressive/fusion band, who feature multi-keyboards, guitar, bass and drums. At times they get into an almost Egg-like complexity, although that's not their overall sound. Their name is pronounced...

Joel Futterman - piano
Chad Fowler - stritch

“Legendary free improviser Joel Futterman had never met saxophonist Chad Fowler when they decided to create a record of improvised duos. In fact, they still had never met when they finished the recordings. This collection of spontaneously improvised music sounds like the carefully pre-composed work of a collaborative duo with years of experience playing as a unit. Listen closely and you still won't be able to hear that these recordings were made...
