A classic 1973 slice of art rock. Eno is out, Eddie Jobson is in on violin and synths, and the band lose a little of their complete strangeness, but are really no worse the wear for it.

Five songs live in Bremen, Germany, with high quality video footage of all songs playable on computer

"2017 release from the German progressive rock band. The concept albums Wanted (2014) and Beyond Man And Time (2012) are widely recognized as the pinnacle of German art rock giants RPWL's discography which meanwhile comprises more than a dozen releases. On the occasion of it's 20th anniversary, the band releases the long-awaited concert movie A New Dawn. It documents the last stop of the tour in support of the Wanted album and that evening the Bavarians played in their hometown of Freising, Bavaria in...

“The Bavarian Artrock institution directs it's attention to the morbid, the perverse, the evil in good, the abysses of the human behavior spectrum in all it's unpredictable diversity, which sometimes comes across as bizarrely disturbing and conclusive, if one tries to fathom it. In six densely atmospheric tracks RPWL have once again embarked on intensive journeys through their own band vita, as well as their own record collections. The effort of comparisons is always such a thing, because after all this...

"Deluxe CD/DVD live release from the German prog rock band. For more than eighteen years RPWL have been an important element of the global artrock scene now and they have long become an inevitable presence on the stages of the world.
For their 2015/2016 History tour, RPWL have come up with something very special: Pink Floyd's legendary first concept show of 1969 was entitled The Man And The Journey. It is a true classic that, however, never managed to make it's way onto a sound carrier. RPWL have....

"The spirit of enquiry and experiment is still alive and kicking - in Portugal anyway. On this double CD, Vitor looks twice at the same material.
On CD one we get his unique take on guitar improvisation, which is electric, songlike and mixes genres in an unusual way. Then he takes all the pieces on that CD and orchestrates them with drums, bass, piano, guitar, clarinet and trumpet, to make a duplicate CD on which the same pieces appear as quite different pieces. You can choose one or the other...

“Rubber Tea's "Infusion" is a collection of musical stories and fictional journeys which let the listener escape into the vast world of their own imagination. The manifold album artwork created by David Erzmann perfectly represents the music: Rubber Tea makes use of a wide range of musical instruments - featuring electric and acoustic guitars, fretless bass, vintage synthesizers and organ, saxophone, flute and diverse percussion, amongst others. With the help of several guest musicians the band was able...

"For his follow-up to 2016's purely improvised studio recording Strength & Power (a cooperative quartet album featuring pianist Jamie Saft, bassist Trevor Dunn and drummer Balazs Pandi), the ever-adventurous trombonist-composer Roswell Rudd made a decided shift in direction on his first RareNoise Records release as a leader by embracing jazz standards he has loved and played throughout his long and illustrious career. Accompanied by the brilliant pianist Lafayette Harris, upright bass virtuoso Ken...

“You never know enough”, says trombonist Roswell Rudd in an interview about his attitude in life and music. He studied with a master - Herbie Nichols; played Monk with another one - Steve Lacy; was part of a legendary free jazz combo with the great...

Out of print.

“Their blatantly deranged name conceals long Yes and Genesis like progressive rock artistry and British Progressive Neo Classicism from the intellectual leftfield choice of Greatest Year of Music, 1973.
Extended complex tracks, keyboard and guitar interplay and unusual lyrics. Like most such noodling prog rock masterpieces, recorded in an English barn, in a field somewhere that is forever prog.”

“They cited classic prog acts like Genesis, Yes and King Crimson as main influences, but I can...

I just saw this marvelous octet last night (3/3/08) in Baltimore and I really think a lot of people here would be blown away by this superb group. Percussionist Adam has taken people from the worlds of jazz (Graham Haynes) free jazz (Hamid Drake)...

2nd and final album from the band's lifetime, which was releaesd in 1971 on Pilz, and is taken from the master tapes. Also included is 8 bonus tracks from their final concert in their hometown of Aachen, Germany, from 6/17/72.

"Their next album Phallobst (recorded in the Dierks Studio from July to August 1971)...was more polished and had a wider dynamic and instrumental range (mellotron, clavinet and acoustic guitars were added) (than their first). Particularly strong was the album's second side...

"With his fully-acoustic quartet, Frankfurt's Tobias Rüger explores the musical possibilities of the most classic of jazz outfits. Traditional in set-up and modern in musical language, spontaneous expression and improvisation blends into precisely...

I wasn't quite sure what to make of this when I heard about it; was it going to be a solo drum release from Yoshida? Anyway, my concerns were allayed when it arrived and I got to hear it. It's a fully orchestrated, (I suppose with computers and...

''A blistering live performance...of over twenty stop-on-a-dime Ruins classics, Mandala 2000 captures the raw power and visceral energy of this dynamic band better than any studio recording ever could. Also included is twenty minutes of encores featuri...

"The members of Japan's Ruins have extensive experience and tireless commitment! A furious barrage of explosive and intricately composed drum(s) and bass, Ruins covers all stops between hardcore's hysteric intensity, metal's pummeling dynamics, and the...

"If you think wild, bizarre Japanese music begins and ends with the legendary Boredoms, you ain't heard nothing yet. If Vrresto is any indication, Ruins top even those legendary noise merchants in terms of craziness, as this is music whose origins can barely even be traced to this planet, let alone to any particular genre or country. What results from the intertwining of Yoshida Tatsuya's insanely intricate drum patterns and Sasaki Hisashi's spastic noodlings on bass guitar, along with the space-aliens...

Really pleasing and pleasant, while still musically vigorous combination of rock, jazz (especially John Hollenbeck) and progressive elements with systems music composed for a 12 piece ensemble. If reading the previous sentence makes it sound like this is your thing, then this is your thing!

"On Reflections, Philipp Rumsch explores the reduction of sound and its alteration through compositional parameters, the use and gradual overlaying of repetitive structures of rhythms like patterns or grooves...

"Runaway Totem is proud to announce that the third and final movement of 4 Elements 5, Le Roi Du Monde will be published in March 2011. This album marks the end of the First Symphony NOUS. In order to complete the album, given its complexity and...

Let me tell you something; boy oh boy, does my 17 year old, Todd LOVING self wish this had been something I could have seen back then!
AWATS was Todd’s second solo album and the one where he began to find his footing and prove that he really was a studio wizard.
On the original, he played most of the instruments himself, which obviously ain’t a thing here, but the music stands strongly and uniquely even 40 years later. It’s a fine collection of songs and instrumentals that encompass everything...

"1994 saw the release of Todd's ground-breaking NO WORLD ORDER album, which was the first interactive album release utilising the recently developed CD-i format, allowing the listener to alter the playback of the interactive disc by selecting one of four pre-determined sequences prepared by different producers. Such an exciting concept gave birth to a unique and exciting tour, which saw Rundgren appear on his own on stage surrounded by keyboards, guitar and performing live utilising the latest technology. T
