"Ran Do comes after the 2014 re-encounter of the quartet with Kjetil Møster, Jeff Parker, John Herndon and Joshua Abrams. Their first coincidental meeting happend at the bar Rodan in Chicago in 2008, where Parker, Herndon and Abrams played every tuesday night for years. Bass player Ingebrigt Håker Flaten brought Kjetil Møster who was touring with electro-rockers DATAROCK at the moment...

“In April 2022 Mostly Autumn were given the amazing opportunity to have two days in Abbey Road studios by York St John University. This recording is the result.
Bryan Josh says: - “Unloading our equipment into Abbey Road - Studio 2 was like some untouchable dream you had as a child but were now part of. With the giants of music breathing down our necks and all those classic songs still ghosting in the walls, we set the band up together with a string quartet to record a live performance. There was...

“The group that has always straddled the broad and fuzzy line between tradition and chaotic improvisation, has nevertheless managed that process with a mixture of sophistication, revelation and unbridled enthusiasm.” – Karl Ackermann, All About Jazz

"Over the past thirteen years, MOPDtK, led by bassist/composer Moppa Elliott, has earned a place at the forefront of jazz and improvised music, performing in a style that is at once rooted in the jazz tradition and highly improvised and unstructured...

This 2004 release is the debut by this very young and fairly extraordinary group. The group consists of Peter Evans-trumpet, John Irabagon-saxes, Moppa Elliot-bass and Kevin Shea-drums. All the players are pretty great - the rhythm section is...

"The third album of the German psychedelic/prog rock band Mother Engine is a real unique piece of music, which, on one hand, used to be a concept album to show the evolution of the "Mother Engine" in their fictive story of the spaceship of the same name and its crew, and on the other, as the evolution of the musicians themselves in songwriting and DIY recording and production processes to really get inside of the implementation of their imagination. The album Hangar was made in a very ornate and...

“A laid back mix of spoken word poetry from Gilli Smyth and jazzy, classic Gong textures, vignettes and humor. A lot of sax, chilled out synth and glissando guitar on this one. Overall a relaxing and artistic effort that will soothe and inspire if you approach it with an open mind. A work of art and one of the best post-70s Gong-affiliated releases I've heard.”–rym

"The band fuses together such a variety of genres that it is both old and fresh simultaneously."-Birmingham Review

"The Mothers Earth Experiment is a six-piece contemporary progressive outfit from the UK. With a wide range of influences, ranging from electronica, jazz, psychedelia to black metal and back, the band of childhood friends pride themselves on their eclectic inspirations, and weave detailed sonic tapestries and propel their message of social consciousness and environmental awareness...

"Paul Motian's trio with Bill Frisell and Joe Lovano received ecstatic reviews for "I Have The Room Above Her", Motian's ECM 'comeback' album of 2005, and the recording was a "critic’s choice" all around the world. Appropriately so: the trio was formed...

As it says below, this is NOT a great recording, but it isn’t SO bad. The music can easily be heard through the low/mid-fi murk.

“Darkly gnarled King Crimson style intensity issued in 1973 in 99 copies, the original recording was made by hanging a microphone with string from the ceiling, and is thus gorgeously terribly lo-fi, but those poo

The band’s 25th studio album (!) and it finds them back to their original trio lineup. I thought that this was pretty great!

“Considering the tight run of albums since the first part of the “Gullvåg Trilogy” in 2017 – three double and a single album in less than four years – the 16 months wait for Ancient Astronauts must feel like an eternity for the fans. And once again we are amazed at the creative forces and consistently high quality at work here.
Much of the music here somehow continue in

"This 4CD luxury set is the second installment in an ongoing series of Motorpsycho re-issues that started with Timothy´s Monster in 2010. In a 2011 poll Blissard (released in 1996) was voted the 25th best Norwegian album of all time by 100 Norwegian...

Motorpsycho are a very interesting, sometimes utterly fantastic Norwegian band who started as a death-metal outfit and very rapidly turned into something rather more uncategorizable. This 2010 release is their latest and combines heaviness with strong...

“One would think that after the Gullvåg Trilogy -- two double and a single album in a mere three years -- the ultra-productive trio Motorpsycho might be in need of a break of sorts... but on the other hand, riding a golden wave like never before in their 30+ year existence, why stop now? The bulk of the album was recorded in France back before the pandemic, but was added to, tweaked and finished in 2020. The initial idea was to collect big riffs on one album and do a pure hard rock record, but the....

"This is the latest installment in Motorpsycho's ongoing series of live documents, Roadwork. It was recorded across Europe over a three-year period spanning 2008-2010, and is the first live record released featuring the Snah/Bent/Kenneth line-up...

"The first-ever Motorpsycho anthology, released in conjunction with a 2015 retrospective exhibition at Rockheim, Norway's national museum of pop and rock music, in the band's hometown of Trondheim. For the first anthology since the band's formation in 1989, there are as many possible track selections as there are fans, and the band's selection for Supersonic Scientists: A Young Person's Guide to Motorpsycho will likely incite much discussion.

“Reissue of "Anthropomorphic" - the third work of The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation (the improvisation alter ego of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble) from 2011. One session - almost 60 minutes.
Since the members of TMFDC live scattered among Rotterdam, Paris, Berlin, and London, they rarely tour. This in turn makes each of their single shows a special event, and they don't mind longer trips. Consequently, it is not a surprise that "Anthropomorphic" has been performed and recorded in three parts....

"The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation is the heavy droning improv incarnation of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble. The music taps into the blistering low-frequency guitar soundscapes, augmented with smatterings of electronic skullduggery and eruptions....

Mountain was a New York trio of hard rockers who formed during the first generation of proto-metal and featured a dense, blues-based sound mixed with more classical and progressive elements. The group was Leslie West (guitar & vocals), Felix Pappalardi (bass & vocals - who, although he was a musician first, had made his name as the producer of Cream) and Corky Laing (drums).

"Following the success of Climbing! and appearances at Woodstock and other outdoor festivals of the day, Mountain recorded...

“Extremely complex progressive folk rock, with unique, literate lyrics that poetically manifest the gnarled emotions of a bitter break up, with acerbic guitar strumming and controlled anger. Mourning Phase have remained shrouded in mystery since 1971.
This is the first ever legal edition, all previous editions were without the band’s consent. Phenomenally rare test pressing, thought to be only 25 copies made. Only two had hand-drawn covers: one is long lost in a private collection, and here seen for..

"Long awaited second album from this German retro-prog trio and what arrived is a full blown monster. Recorded over a period of three years, Mouth is able to capture the sound of the 70s. The album opens and closes with 16+ minute tracks and what's in between is a ton of prog/kraut/heavy psych jam goodness. The closest comparison I can make would be to their American musical counterparts Eye. Plenty of analogue key sounds - trippy synth, roaring organ, Mellotron all intermixed with shimmering wah-wah...
