After a long period of great expectation - the band had been carefully planning this album for us during the last couple of years, Acid Mothers Temple finally debuts on Essence Music with two releases (see also 41st Century Splendid Man Returns)!...

The first release on CD by this somewhat obscure Italian progressive fusion outfit, consisting of Fender Rhodes, guitar, soprano sax, bass and drums. Comes in a nice gatefold mini lp sleeve. Originally released in 1976, this is excellent quality Italia...

Almendra are considered one of the founding fathers of the Argentinian rock scene. This was their second and final record from late 1970 and is a fun and well done rock/hard rock album of the period, which is definitely a bit more sophisticated than th...

This excellent and excellently recorded live album mostly consists of high energy versions of tracks from Gravity and From Within. Their current sound consists of a mesmerizing hard rock sound with lots of dark mellotron and other keyboards; as on...

This was the last of their 1970's works. "Ange returned to the studio in 1978 as a changed line up again with the Decamps, Guichard and new members Claude Demet on guitar and Gerald Renard on bass. As a result, Guet Apens had a different feel, this tim...

Just when you think that there is nothing worthwhile from the lp era that hasn't already been reissued on CD, comes a small and very pleasant surprise. This is the final album (of two) by a Quebecois progressive/fusion septet who somehow managed to...

Art Zoyd's early and great works have been unavailable for such a long time that it's too easy to forget what a strikingly original and amazing band they were in their prime. One of the original R.I.O bands (they joined in the second wave of bands...

While it's pretty certain that Miles kick started the whole electric jazz-jazz/rock movement with In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew in 1969, there were other people working towards the same goals at aproximately the same time, some of them better known...

MINI LP SLEEVE IS DENTED OTHERWISE THIS IS A SEALED COPY. This album was the first solo album by the former leader of Camel after leaving Camel. It's very much a mixed bag; half of it is pretty stinky, like the worst of Camel...

Another one-shot Italian band with a classic heavy keyboard-driven progressive disc. Their name translates as "Ticket To Hell"! Dual keyboards, guitar, vocals/flute, bass & drums. Some great interplay between the keyboards & the guitar. One of their tw...

"Ramblin' comes from an adventurous period in Paul Bley's career, at a time when he was associated with some of the more avant-garde elements. His playing often takes an attractively aggressive approach, which he tempered in later years. There is his...

"Few modern musicians in any genre can have been so extensively documented as the Chicago-born multi-instrumentalist, and yet the very density of the documentation serves only to heighten the enigma that is Anthony Braxton'' (Penguin Guide To Jazz)...

A group that combines avant-progressive with symphonic rock with classical music performed on 'real' instruments. The lineup is flute, clarinet, 2 saxes, trumpet, trombone, violin, cello, electric and acoustic guitar, bass, drums, mallet percussion...

An unbelievable price on the hard to find Japanese version of this great album!

"This excellent trio session forms a sort of transition between bassist Ray Brown's work with the Oscar Peterson Trio and his own small-group sessions of the '80s...

Excellent price (less than 1/3rd what this normally goes for) on this deluxe packaging version of what I always felt was probably Kate's best album. And it's hard to believe, but this album is completely out of print world-wide at this time!

This is a pretty great, very, very rare album from Italy. Using a lineup of acoustic piano, electric bass and drums, this has the sound of a jazz trio playing progressive rock. The music swings at points but there's too much 'trickery' and stop/start...

Digitally remastered, mini-lp sleeve reissue of BYG/Actuel 31, released in a limited edition of 1500 copies at a special price. In my opinion, this is one of the greatest of the Actuel series! These relatively early duos between Don moving from...

"The first release of Cluster on Philips in 1971 and reissued on Sky Records in 1980. Experimental electronic sound! Producer: Conny Plank. Reissue with elaborate miniature paper sleeve of the Sky version LP. 2007 digital remaster version, limited...

An unbelievable price on the hard to find Japanese version of this great album!

"Sonny Criss' second of seven Prestige albums finds the passionate altoist using the same rhythm section as on the earlier date: pianist Walter Davis, bassist Paul...

An unbelievable price on the hard to find Japanese version of this great album!

Walkin’ is an example of eminent bop and cool performance that could serve as a musical text on how jazz should be played. It’s a fairly early sample of Davis’ work."

"In its short life, London's Café Oto has played host to more than its share of memorable gigs by such improvisers as John Tchicai, Marshall Allen and Evan Parker, but surely none more remarkable than the December 2009 meeting of the veteran American...

"Delirium came from Genova, from a previous beat band called I Sagittari, and formed in 1970, releasing their first single a year later. Canto di Osanna, presented at first Viareggio pop festival was a successful single and gave the band an immediate...
