"Seeking chances to learn and grow as an artist, Igor Lumpert moved from his home country Slovenia to New York in 2000. Since that time, he has studied with stellar teachers such as...

Luna Park Ensemble were a part of the same school of wonderful, twisted art-pop-experimental bands that all seemingly emerged from nowhere in the early/mid 80s from Tokyo, along with Wha-Ha-Ha, Syzygys and After Dinner. Luna Park Ensemble were absolutely as good as these bands, the only difference being that Wha-Ha-Ha, Syzygys and After Dinner had records released outside of Japan, and Luna Park Ensemble did not, leading to them being much less known here.
This collects all of the material that was...

"Lunatic Soul is the new solo project from Riverside vocalist Mariusz Duda. It takes a different (but equally valid) path than Riverside. Lunatic Soul is expansive and meditative. Duda dials everything down a bit - there are no electric guitars on the...

Rene Lussier – guitar, daxophone
Erick d’Orion – computer, electronics
Robbie Kuster – drums
Martin Tétrault – turntable, electronics

“Lussier, Orion, Kuster and Tétreault created an hour of thunderous atmospheres, heterogeneous collages and heavy sound masses. The liberated, energetic and unpretentious improvised music like that, we would take it even more often.”

“The performance of the quartet was the high point of the Festival.” – All About Jazz

''Rene on guitars (with & without electricity) & Ttrault on turntables (with & without lps). This duet is devastating & lyrical.''

"2 guitars, 3 turntables, one spy-microphone, and 201 spectators." Recorded live at Victoriaville, 5/19/08.

This release is drawn from 3 separate recordings the trio made in the 80's. The disc is a combination of compositions & improvisations. Guitars, reeds, keyboards, electronics, bass & drums. Cellist Tom Cora guests on about 1/3rd. [ReR]

Excellent electric jazz/fusion album from this trio from St. Louis, MO, who started out as a metal power trio with vocals. Their singer left them and they realized that it gave them the opportunity to do something different. Something really different...

The second album by Lifetime, the very early rock/jazz supergroup of Tony Williams-drums, vocals, John McLaughlin-guitar, Jack Bruce-bass and Larry Young-Hammond organ. It never was a good sounding album, but they've remastered it as best they could. Not all of it is good, but the good stuff is mindblowing for 1970. Includes the non-lp single "One Word", later redone by Mahavishnu Orchestra.
