“By way of introduction, Gauci parades his easygoing burly tenor saxophone, blending emphatic motifs amid roller coaster lines in a limber double act with Filiano’s nimble-fingered stylings, which fuse melody with rhythmic attack on the opening ‘Epee’. That’s followed by a similarly involved pairing of cornet and bass at the outset of ‘Ghosting’, before Gauci joins to inaugurate a spirited three-way interaction. It’s immediately obvious that as a group they are fully formed, missing nothing, a feeling...

The recording features a wide range of contributors including Buckethead, Bill Laswell, Roger Eno, Steve Jansen, Ted Parsons, Merzbow and Colin Edwin.

One and the Same is violinist Jeff Gauthier's fourth CD as a leader, and features guitarist Nels Cline of Wilco. Gauthier has been named a Downbeat Critics Poll Rising Star for two years in a row as both instrumentalist and producer. One and the Same f...

"Violinist Jeff Gauthier's Goatette cuts an impressively wide musical swath. "House of Return," Gauthier's 5th recording as a leader, moves effortlessly from moody acoustic jazz to creative new music, to skronk fusion and electronic space jam. Voted a...

"Jeff Gauthier isn't the only person who has played electric avant-garde jazz on the violin (the late Billy Bang immediately comes to mind), but it is safe to say that the violin doesn't have a lot of representatives in that area of jazz. Gauthier...

Out of print now world-wide , but we found a couple of copies of this Japanese, mini-lp sleeve version in a warehouse and it's here until they are truly gone forever!

An early 80's release by this keyboardist who rightly made a name for himself playing with Magma, Heldon & Weidorje! This crosses the sound of Magma & Heldon.

Players include Richard Pinhas, David Rose, Bernard Paganotti, Christian Vander, Didier Batard, Jean-Pierre Fouquey & more!

"I haven't had anything similar on my musical plate for a while, so Gazpacho's eighth album Demon was an interesting, beautifully surprising and absolutely brilliant variation. Again Gazpacho mixes progressive sounds with electronic elements and folk....

"If you are a fan of music that transports you to another place, you will find nothing better. 10/10."-DPRP

"This album is not for everyone, but allow me to describe it so you know if this "shoe fits" you or not.
For those that have patience for complex songs with several structures, this record has excellent production, and many intricately placed and layered sounds.
Some would likely find some parts a bit repetitive, but with some of the repetition, new song structures get layered on...

“GBK are an Austrian free jazz trio that isn't afraid of being groovy. The band was founded in 2007 after a first meeting the year before, being thrown together in an improvised music session. They performed many years under the name of KGB before changing their name recently due to Russian war against Ukraine. All three musicians are happy to swap roles in their trio, therefore abstract experimental sounds have the same place in their repertoire as groove and melody. Drummer Didi Kern works both in jazz...

“This is the first official reissue of this extremely rare album, originally released in 1978 on the Brutkasten label. A very varied fusion album, 'Im Tal Der Emmen' blends Embryo and Zappa/Mothers like rock and jazz mixtures, with a rich instrumental palette, full of solos and invention. Mostly it intended to sound like an instrumental Out Of Focus (Freeman Brothers in 'The Crack In The Cosmic Egg'). The album has this charming kraut/fusion style.
The sextet line-up resulted in a very rich sound...

Very hard to find Italian release from 1989, which has improvising saxist Gebbia on soprano, alto and baritone sax and Casio digital horn, with Lelio Gianetto-double bass and Vittorio Villa-drums. [PVD]

''From the 1st fluttering notes, Gebbia (alto sax), Miriam Palma (vocals/perc), & Vittorio Villia (drums/perc) joined for music full of charm & invention. Gebbia has managed to absorb both his native Sicilian folk music & the playing of saxists like Ev...

“Geese are a quintet of native Brooklyners who formed during their freshman year of high school. They are also one of the most hyped exports to emerge from the borough in years with a complex and energetic sound built from scraps of post-punk, prog, and a deep lineage of New York rock & roll. During the front half of 2020, the band's home-recorded demos suddenly became a target for serious label attention and, having just graduated from high school, Geese found themselves fielding offers from both sides...

“In 1969, I was commissioned to make all the music and organized noises for nineteen looped films to be run in the British Pavilion at Expo 70 in Osaka, Japan. The overall concept was to have all the films running in fixed positions so that the individual visitors would ‘mix’ their audio and visual experience by the speed and direction of their movement through and around the environment.
Since most of the ninety-second films...

“Geins't Naït was founded in Nancy, France, in 1986 by Thierry Merigout and Vincent Hachet, both students at the Architecture School of Nancy. A year later Laurent Petitgand joined the band. Their sound is often described as an equivalent of bands like Einstürzende Neubauten, Coil or Test Dept., but Geins't Naït is not pure classic Industrial. While Geins't Naït offers rough pieces of music as an extension of its punk attitude, Petitgand refines them to create some musicality within the post-industrial...

"Drummer from Calabria, Roberto Genco recorded and privately released his only album, Beyond the life (Oltre la vita) in 1977. With an excellent technical and recording quality, considering it's a private production, the LP is in the jazz-rock style...

Probably my personal favorite of their early period work, this 1972 symphonic/progressive album should need very little introduction.

"Definitive edition remaster" of this release, which sounds great! A double live album by the quartet of Collins, Hackett, Rutherford, Banks + Chester Thompson and another really good one. I saw this tour and then Hackett was gone and so was my personal..

The last one with Peter Gabriel, the first Genesis album I owned, and possibly their finest moment, if a bit longer than it absolutely needed to be.
This is tougher edged than their earlier, more symphonic/progressive albums, but a fantastic work that holds up well

The first 'real' Genesis album, and an early (1970) classic of symphonic/progressive rock.

“Find Letter X, the eponymous release from the Brooklyn-based band led by drummer/composer Kate Gentile, features saxophonist Jeremy Viner, pianist Matt Mitchell, and bassist Kim Cass.
Gentile's 2021 release Snark Horse - co-led with Mitchell - was a gargantuan six-volume set that Downbeat called "Monumental... Creating an abstract galaxy from scratch, they sound like they know every black hole and supercluster in the place."
The similarly-ambitious new work - across three densely-packed CDs...

Gentle Giant's 2nd album, and, for the time it was released in 1971, an extremely adventurous rock work (and one with a stupendously ugly cover!).

I remember getting this around 1973/74 and reading the liner notes and devouring the following: "It is our goal to expand the frontiers of popular music at the risk of being very unpopular. We have recorded each composition with one thought - that it should be unique, adventurous and fascinating. It has taken every shred of our combined musical and...

After In A Glass House, Giant and their record label made a concerted effort to 'break the band' in the USA, and the band toured here constantly. Signing with Capitol, they released 3 great studio albums that gave the band a slightly more rockified and accessible face, without losing a whit of the complexity of their earlier work.
Free Hand was their seventh album and was the middle one of that trio and it is one of many extremely fine works in their catalog. It rocks like hell and incredibly...

Gentle Giant's first album sets the pace and direction of the later, much better known albums by the band, but being a 1970 release, there's a lot of proto-progressive hard rock elements & even some bits of psychedelia in place as well.
This is probably their only album where when you listen to some tracks, you could imagine it being a different group on Vertigo! There's at leas//;.t five better places to start with the band if you don't own anything by them, but I own it in my collection and...

“In 1977 Gentle Giant recorded their ninth studio album The Missing Piece. It was a time of change. Punk, disco and rap were altering the musical landscape and even this well-established progressive rock band were willing to explore new directions. Side one saw them experimenting with quirky pop ("Two weeks in Spain"), a grandiose power ballad ("I'm turning around'), syncopated funk ("Who do you think you are?") and even the punky aggression of "Betcha thought we couldn't do it" Normal service was...

In this ‘post physical’ age that we occupy, this 2 CD set is the only away to own the original mixes (i.e. not the Steven Wilson remixes) of these two 1972 classics by Gentle Giant on CD.
The fact that this is on BGO, who always do a very good job mastering for CD from the licensed masters is ‘merely’ a bonus.

This is the stereo CD version.

"Following the highly successful releases of the Steven Wilson's remixes of The Power And The Glory and Octopus, Steven has now remixed a specially curated selection of songs and compositions from the band's first three albums (Giant, Acquiring the Taste, Three Friends) presented in both 5.1 surround sound and stereo.
Only a few songs from each of the band's first three albums are known to exist as multi-tracks, with the rest presumably lost, and it is these...

“Hollenbeck formed GEORGE with three specific musicians in mind, all whom he admired and wanted to play with, but none of who knew each other well. The recording session for Letters to George took place in Montreal in January of 2022. It was the first time the quartet even set foot in the same room..


This is the third album by George Pinilla’s Gepetto project. George has been the owner of the long established progressive rock shop ‘Shop 33’, and this reflects his interest and knowledge of prog rock strongly.
The album consists of two tracks, both of which are over 25 minutes!

Gerard are one of the oldest, still active (well, as of 2011) Japanese progressive / symphonic rock groups. Led by keyboardist Toshio Egawa, who made his name playing with the 80's symphonic rock band Novela, this is Gerard's first release from 1984. It is one of three to feature guitarist/vocalist Yukihiro Fujimura in addition to bass and drums.

“Presented here, the definitive reissue of a lauded and misunderstood Krautrock album, German Oak's Down in the Bunker. The release has been fetishized and demonized, lauded and misunderstood for nearly four decades. In this definitive reissue of the album, the German Oak trio -- together again after 30 years apart -- have approved the remastering of their 70s music; finally tell the story behind the creation of their dark, brooding album -- and the occult-obsessed record collector behind the original...

A very well known German underground album, which is most famous for the circumstances of its recording in a 'bunker-like' environment. Includes 3 non-lp bonus tracks.
