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

“A duo by Osamu Kitajima and Fumio Miyashita, formed at the end of 1971 when Osamu Kitajima returned from his trip to United Kingdom where he got influenced by the exploding psychedelic rock scene that was happening at the time.
After recording his debut under moniker of 'Justin Heathcliff', he got together with Fumio Miyashita of FAR EAST FAMILY BAND and FAR OUT. Together they worked on an amazing psychedelic / progressive rock album, with a folky, yet pastoral, mellow approach.” ...

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. Their fourth album, this was originally a double album and it all fits here with two bonus tracks too!

When these guys burst out of NJ in the mid 80's, good fusion music was basically forgotten and deader than a doornail. An all instrumental line-up of sax, guitar, bass and drums, this was an amazing release for the time period, proving to me that the g...

“Joel Futterman, Chad Fowler and Steve Hirsh met up on the shore of Chesapeake Bay in January 2022. Each had recorded as a duo with the other, and they had talked for months about playing together. When they finally converged, the result was magical. Ebb & Flow is the result - a collection of music that arose in that moment between those people. Nothing pre-planned, noting discussed - just meet and hit and let the music

Joel Futterman – piano
Steve Hirsh – drumset

“This is the first collaboration between Joel Futterman and Steve Hirsh.
Futterman and Hirsh struck up a conversation during the pandemic and began exchanging music. Both were inspired by the results, and decided to create the music on these CDs.
All of the music was composed in the moment, with no discussion or preconceptions. Together, Futterman and Hirsh developed the phrases, connections and resolutions of the music, always...

"Futuropaco's debut album is the shape of things to come: it's a wet, enigmatic cocktail of part 1970s Italian library music, part kraut-alicious, beat-galore, and part riff-driven heavy psych. Justin Pinkerton, from Oakland, California, is the one-man army behind the opaque merge of seemingly different forces: from mad fuzz guitar breakdowns à la Morricone at his most intense, to the syncopated drum learnings of Jaki Liebezeit, Justin weaves a blanket of sound that's simply loaded with deep vibes: From...
