Working together since 1978, the partnership of Zorn and Frith is one of the most enduring musical partnerships in the downtown scene. Their periodic duo concerts have always been special events in themselves, but when it happens in celebration of Zorn...

Edgar Froese was and is the leader of Tangerine Dream. His solo albums during the 70s are different from but just as good as TD's work. This impressive box set includes six albums, some of which have never been released in their original form on CD or have been out of print for years. Included here are Aqua, Epsilon In Malaysian Pale, Ages, Stuntman....

Last FIVE copies in existence anywhere!
This straddles the boundries between the menacing works of his past, & a more spacier side. Despite it's less intense nature, it still has that "bite" that you expect from him. "...a brilliant achievement...

This restores to print one of his mid 80's classic, dark electronic works, which features a cover by H.R. Giger, which should give you a pretty good idea of the atmospheres contained within. Even more evil than Nekropolis 2.

"After having been involved in many Krautrock bands, Peter Frohmader started publishing his own soloworks under the name of Nekropolis. A multi instrumentalist as well as a painter and designer, Peter Frohmader is without any doubt one of the most innovative artists to have eme

“Debut solo album from Wobbler’s Lars Fredrik Frøislie! Fitting perfectly into the 70s prog-rock tradition where the keyboardist makes a solo album between the band albums, this is music Frøislie has been doing, mostly alone, during the pandemic.
Had it not been for the pandemic, much of the material would probably have ended up on a new Wobbler album - but then run through the Wobbler grinder and with English lyrics. In other words, this is unpeeled and raw, as spontaneous as possible without going..

After a year and a half writing and recording rock music, I needed to clear my head. I listened to and made music where things generally happen gradually rather than suddenly. I would set up patches on a Monomachine or Analog Four and listen to them, hearing one sound morph into others, making changes to a patch only after having listened for quite a while, gradually adding elements, and finally manipulating the sounds on the fly. All tracks were recorded live to CD burner, with no overdubs, and...

"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...

“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’s 7 Poets Trio:
Tomas Fujiwara - drums and compositions
Tomeka Reid - cello
Patricia Brennan - vibraphone

“The compositions for Tomas Fujiwara - Pith were written between April 2020 and January 2022. It was a time of minimal to no performing opportunities, which was a massive lifestyle change for Fujiwara, an active drummer on the international touring scene. Because of this there was no deadline for Pith (a first for Fujiwara), and while he knew he was writing...

“Having been recorded live the compositions are free flowing and continuous in sound throughout, with one piece blending into another either through the pieces being merged together through performance, and the possible use of sympathetic editing with Fujiwara’s drums often providing the link. Fujiwara’s drums generate a scattering of sound and the skittering rhythms create great interplay between the guitar and the trumpet. Brandon Seabrook is very deft at carefully using effects to colour the...

"Born in Sapporo, Japan in 1954, Yuko Fujiyama started playing piano at the age of four. But it wasn’t until a summer morning in 1980 standing on a sidewalk in New York’s East Village that she found her calling; someone was playing a Cecil Taylor tape and she was transfixed by the piano sounds. That someone was Taylor’s drummer, Jerome Cooper, and that moment opened a door for her to...

"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...
