“The music of Italian cellist Francesco Guerri obliterates the line between contemporary classical music and free improvisation, sculpting spontaneous invention into startling, unpredictable compositions. On his striking third album, Su Mimmi non si spara!, Guerri presents a dozen innovative pieces that span a wide range of stylistic approaches and technical challenges, invigorated by the physicality of his virtuosic playing and the deep emotional bond he maintains with his instrument.Su Mimmi non si...

“Tears came to my eyes when I started reading Normand Guilbeault’s transcriptions of tunes like What Love and The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady. I guess a pilgrim reaching Mecca for the first time must be experiencing similar feelings, or an art lover...

“Samurai of Prog's Bernard and Pörsti this time join forces with Alessandro di Benedetti and Rafael Pacha and a sub plot of many talented musicians to bring us this splendid follow-up to their 2020 debut release. As standard nothing is spared either musically or artistically in the making of the Seacrestoy project. 10/10 once again!”

Ultra-rare lost psychedelic Kraut-folk from 1979. First time on CD and LP. Taken from the original master tapes. "Gulaab" means "rose" in the Nepalese language. Gulaab is a German virtuoso on the acoustic guitar who served three years as an after...

"Swedish multi-instrumentalist Rikard Sjöblom is pleased to announce his new album under the Gungfly moniker, ‘Alone Together’. It follows an extremely productive past few years, whether it be working with English progressive rockers Big Big Train, or taking the lead with Gungfly.
Rikard comments: “I started writing these songs about a year ago but then it took some time to get started with the production because I had two tours lined up, one with Big Big Train in November and then opening solo for...

"You might know Rikard Sjöblom as the mutli-instrumentalist madman behind the microphone of the now-legendary Beardfish, who sang about everything from personal loss to dreams of sneaking into the backstreets of some sleazy '70s disco club. Wielding his keyboard like an 88-key progressive rock machine gun and a shoulder-slung guitar much in the same manner, Sjöblom truly was the face of the band. Beardfish came to an end in 2016, leaving room for new solo endeavors for Sjöblom.
With the same array...

Two old CMP titles make a re-emergence here!

“God Is A Drummer is the new studio album by master drummer Trilok Gurtu. Throughout his illustrious career, master drummer and world music pioneer Gurtu has stood at the confluence of where Indian classical music, Western jazz and funk, African music, and Brazilian music meet. It's been part of his modus operandi for five decades -- making music that defies easy categorization. On God Is A Drummer, his 20th recording as a leader, the uncommonly open-minded musician pays tribute to some fallen colleagues...

One of the greatest power trios ever, this is the even crazier second release of early 1970's style hard rock/progressive/psychedelic madness by Ax Genrich-guitar/vocals, Uli Trepte-bass/vocals & Mani Neumeier-drums/vocals.
Like your favorite Cream record with it's brain destroyed by LSD. Contains the classic "Bo Diddley". Highly recommended!

“When Guru Guru was founded in 1968 in the year of the student revolt, everyone would have reaped a weary smile that would have predicted that Guru Guru would still exist after 50 years, or have played a decisive role in shaping the music scene during that time.
Today, Guru Guru is one of the longest-serving bands on the planet, along with the Rolling Stones, and Mani Neumeier and his gurus stand for rock music that has survived all trends and fashions and that still goes beyond borders today. That...

Really good (not professional, but genuinely very good) quality live album recorded November 4, 1972. This is recorded just after the band's peak, as Ulli Trepte has left and Bruno Schaab (a fine player) is his replacement here, but the repertoire is still all taken from the 1st 3 albums, with really long versions of Oxymoron, Baby Cake Walk and Ooga Booga. Ax Genrich and Mani Neumeier play great as always. Not as essential as they once were, as this feels a little tentative, but it's still a great...

Mats Gustafsson – alto, tenor and baritone saxophones
Jason Adasiewicz – vibraphone and balafon

"Discussing this impending studio date, the indefatigable saxophonist Mats Gustafsson and intrepid vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz decided to compose new pieces for one another. The resulting tracks – which also include a hallucinogenic arrangement of “Timeless,” dedicated to its composer, the recently deceased guitarist John Abercrombie – show a markedly different side of both musicians. Quiet, at ..

One of the 'new' stars of ECM and deservedly so. Really excellent, state-of-the-art languid piano trio music.

One of the 'new' stars of ECM and deservedly so. Really excellent, state-of-the-art languid piano trio music. It's also a fabulous recording!

"The second album by Norwegian pianist and composer Tord Gustavsen is another set of crystalline beauty.

Gustavson was the tremendous keyboardist for Wigwam in the 1st part of their career. This 2003 release is pretty much what it says it is, a organ-driven fusion band with Jukka's keyboards and voice, reeds, bass and drums. Most of it is pretty good, alt...
