“An archival release of early singles, formative demos, and unreleased songs from the first recording sessions by this seminal Milwaukee psych band, Mink Dress and Other Cats is a great way to discover (or rediscover) Plasticland. One of the great neo-psych bands of the '80s, the quartet, led by singer/songwriters Glenn Rehse and John Frankovic, was occasionally dismissed as fashion-conscious lightweights due to their sartorial obsessions, but the records themselves are glorious blends of Syd Barrett...

"Flux Reflux is the second recorded outing of this improvising quartet, and the first one for Clean Feed. While Platform’s first album Anthropocene, was recorded right after the French clarinetist Xavier Charles joined three young musicians from Oslo to form a quartet, Flux Reflux is the result of several years of live experience.
The album consists of 6 acoustic, improvised

An excellent archival jazz/rock release on the sadly now-gone MIO label. The Platina were an Israeli jazz ensemble formed in 1971 by saxophonist, flautist and composer Roman Kunsman, drummer Aharon 'Arale' Kaminski and guitarist Yitzhak Klepter. The group originally worked as a backing band to Arik Einstein and later Chava Alberstein and initially had a jazz-rock style.
Over the next five years they went through numerous personnel changes with Kunsman and Kaminski as the two constant members....

"Finnish trumpeter and composer Verneri Pohjola reinterprets the music of his late father, internationally acclaimed and revered prog-rock bassist and composer, Pekka Pohjola. One of the most anticipated albums to emerge from the Finnish progressive, rock and jazz scenes, it combines Pekka's music, adored in Finland and worldwide over the last four...

"French trio (bass/drums/keyboards), that know no limitations and prohibitions. Impressive and delirious, the trio combines raw madness and virtuosity, they dance and dash between the energy of punk, the beauty of chamber music and the chaos of a factory on the brink of explosion."

This combines Dins O Cuol, their 1st CD, from 2011 with a previously unreleased earlier album, L'Ire Des Papes, from 2008!
Typically great and typically wacky French new music/new rock/art rock by a trio of...

“Chris Poland is an American jazz fusion guitarist and creator/co-founder of the Heavy Jazz/Rock/Fusion power trio OHM.

"The title of this recording has multiple meanings for its composer, Larry Polansky (b. 1954). These are the generations... is a translation of the Hebrew title for the second work on the program, Eleh Tol'd'ot, the first words of the thirty-fifth verse of the first book (B'rey'sheet) of the Torah. Beyond referencing Polansky's Jewish heritage, the phrase reflects this particular collection of works on several levels.

"Originally recorded in 1969 for Orfeon Records in Mexico, this unbelievably awesome set of psychedelic rock was shelved for decades, due in large part to its fantastic (though probably poorly chosen from a commercial standpoint) title Society Is a Shit. With the exception of a humorous, traditional-sounding acoustic number presenting the record in Spanish, this record is 100% pure, mind-expanding psychedelia sung mostly in English. It's got all the factors you'd expect from a psych record of the period...

The crazed, loud, ‘77 Iggy / Bowie tour (with David only performing on watery / phase shifted keyboards) is one of the highlights of Iggy’s mid/late 70s period, with all the recordings that document this tour, no matter how good they are, sounding kinda poorly defined in terms of instrumental separation, and loud as fuck. Yeah, baby.

“Iggy Pop, live at the Civic Auditorium, Santa Monica, CA on April 15th, 1977. The Iggy/Bowie period is a sharp document of hedonism and salvation. Two rock stars...
