Throughout much of the 1970s, King Crimson were one of my very favorite bands and the short-lived band with John Wetton & Bill Bruford was their apex for me. I loved their work and I loved their improvisations, which were adventurous and interesting...

"This 2003 release represented the recorded culmination of the various ideas, approaches and styles employed by the Crimson turn of the century double duo line-up. Introduced and punctuated by a series of a cappella treated vocal pieces that...

"Between April and July 1974 King Crimson embarked on a tour of Canada and America which has come to be recognised as one of the most powerful series of concerts performed not just by Fripp, Cross, Wetton and Bruford but by any band of the era...

TOAPP was the third and final release by the 80s King Crimson, which featured the powerful lineup of Robert Fripp, Adrian Belew, Tony Levin and Bill Bruford, all of it sympathetically remixed and expanded by Steven Wilson. This isn't one of the most essential albums in the cannon, imo, but it's a good album and this is the best version you can get of it.

"Three Of A Perfect Pair is the 12th release in the acclaimed King Crimson 40th anniversary series. The classic album has been mixed for 5.1...

"USA was recorded towards the end of King Crimson's final US tour of the 70s in June 1974. It was issued as an epitaph for the band in Spring 1975 as a single album - at a time when doubles..

Special price! Albert King was one of the great electric bluesmen. This 1969 Stax album has him performing songs associated with early Elvis, most of which Elvis adapted from their original, blues roots anyway, so it's a good fit and King brings...

"In the early 1970s, B.B. King was basking in the glow of crossover success, with his brand of soulful blues reaching all audiences, not just African-American ones. In this 75-minute radio broadcast from October 1, 1972, his stinging guitar runs through a mix of old and new classics, from his mid-'50s R&B hit "Everyday I Have the Blues" to Leon Russell's "Hummingbird." Other highlights include the standard "Rock Me Baby" and his biggest hit, "The Thrill Is Gone." It's presented here in its entirety, with...

This is a new group by the drummer of The Bad Plus and it's quite a lineup: Erik Fratzke - guitar, Dave King - drums, Adam Linz - bass, Chris Speed - tenor saxophone. Very cool to see the under-valued Chris Speed land this high profile gig and the...

So, I am in the middle of reading John French's book about the Magic Band ("Through the Eyes of Magic") and one of the things it is giving me an appreciation of is the guitarwork of the original two guitarists in the Magic Band, Doug Moon & especially...

"John King has composed for orchestra, chamber ensembles, rock bands, dance, film and theater. He has written three operas to texts by Heiner Müller, Robbe-Grillet and Mallarmé, and worked closely with Merce Cunningham for many years. In his second CD...

These three noted improvisers on guitar, percussion, turntables, electronics & vocals, recorded live 5/20/94. [Victo]

This is a sort of European supergroup consisting of Pierre Vervloesem (X-legged Sally, Flat Earth Society) on bass, guitars and sounds, Gil Mortio ( Attica, Bruno Vansina) on guitars. but the real star for my money is "formidable virtuoso Swedish...

“The Kinks Live in San Francisco 1969' is a historic live recording. After being banned from the U.S. for nearly 4 years, they returned to promote their latest LP 'Arthur'. Given that the period from 'Face to Face' to 'Lola' is my personal sweet spot for their albums, this is a near perfect set list. Too early for 'Lola' but otherwise great tracks from this period:
'Til the End of the Day, Last of the Steam Powered Trains, You're Looking Fine, Mr. Churchill Says, Big Sky, You Really Got Me'....

"2018 release from the prog rock supergroup, arriving 13 years after the band's much-loved debut Picture back in 2005. The album sees John Mitchell (It Bites, Lonely Robot) and Pete Trewavas (Marillion) teaming up once more, with Craig Blundell (Steven Wilson) on drums and John Beck (It Bites) guesting on keyboards.
Recorded at the end of 2017, writing began at the end of that Summer. "We actually began the writing process in late August" says John Mitchell. "Pete had a few tunes and so did I, and...

Yet another excellent space/spacerock release from Strange Attractors! " "In their hometown of Seattle, Chris Martin, Lucy Atkinson, and Matthew Reid-Schwartz of the lysergic-punk band Kinski often play out incognito. Under the guise Herzog (film buffs...

The first release of music by this unknown Eastern European septegenerian composer. His music stems from two main sources; the traditional folks musics of his country & the noted avant composer Edgard Varese. In addition, Kiraly is an inventor & builde...

Like Raymond Scott at around the same time, Kirby's music was unusually virtuosic and quietly avant-garde. Conditionally tremendously recommended.

"John Kirby led a most unusual group during the height of the big-band era, a sextet comprised of trumpeter Charlie Shavers, clarinetist Buster Bailey, altoist Russell Procope, pianist Billy Kyle, drummer O'Neil Spencer, and his own bass. Although Shavers and Bailey could be quite extroverted, the tightly arranged ensembles tended to be very cool...

“Previously unreleased recording from the legendary multi- instrumentalist Roland Kirk. Kirk's influence and following reaches far beyond Jazz. Hendrix idolized him and it's easy to see why.
His appetite for ripping up the rulebook has brought kudos and admirers from all sides, giving him a status and respect that ensures an unearthed, never before

Long time Waysiders will remember us carrying (and selling!) a lot of these back when it was originally released on lp-only in 1987. It was a really good one then and it's still a really good one now.

Synthesist Bernd Kistenmacher seemingly came out of nowhere in 1986 with his first album, Head-Visions, a fine 70s-style album of Berlin-style electronic music that was basically the best thing that Klaus Schulze never made.

This was released one year later and was his nearly as excellent...

“Retro’ is the follow up album to the critically acclaimed ‘The Way Home’ released in 2022. Kite Parade is the brainchild of multi-instrumentalist, singer songwriter Andy Foster.
