This is a beautiful, numbered, limited edition of this classic, mastered from the original tapes on 180 gram vinyl in a beautiful gatefold sleeve.

"Collage, Le Orme's first progressive album and third overall, is a stripped-down affair with only organ, piano, bass and drums. The exception is the opening title track which could be considered the bridge between their psych and prog compositions styles.
Collage has a "kitchen sink" mentality and features an orchestra, pseudo-baroque motifs...

"Not existing anymore since 2012 The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble & The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation now finally make all long-time sold out releases available again on all formats.
"A timeless piece of music. Composed and created with total musical freedom, unrestrained by any genres or artistic restrictions, resulting in what is definitely, in my opinion, TKDE's best release." (Jason Kohnen / TKDE / TMFDC / Mansur) "Strikingly original. The instrumentation is constrained and subtle, and it...

“San Francisco-based multimedia artist, composer, and improviser Jon Leidecker makes music under the pseudonym Wobbly. He's an active member of both the seminal experimental group Negativland, and the Thurston Moore Ensemble. Popular Monitress, Wobbly’s second release with Hausu Mountain, builds on the machine-randomized compositional processes that Leidecker workshopped on 2019’s Monitress. The album explodes with overlapping alien melodies, swathes of granular texture, and frenetic percussion patterns..

“After over two decades of musical collaboration and shared life, we are happy to finally present our first duo release. Recorded in intimate studio settings right before the pandemic, and then amended over the lockdown in our home studio.
Music is what brought us together in the first place, and it remains central in our shared life. We hope you enjoy our musical moments.”

“The first collaborative album of the Italian composer, arranger, producer and guitarist ERALDO BERNOCCHI with the Berlin-based Japanese violinist, composer, electronic producer and TANGERINE DREAM member HOSHIKO YAMANE.

Born in Osaka, Hoshiko Yamane attended the University of Arts in Aichi. Her training destined her to be a violinist in classical music - later on she extended her practice to modern and pop music. In 2011 she joined the legendary band Tangerine Dream. In 2014 she started to release...

I think that is the greatest jazz album from Eastern Europe from the 1960s, or at least that I've heard. Recorded in December, 1965 with a great band: Tomasz Stanko-trumpet, Zbigniew Namyslowski-alto sax, Krzysztof Komeda-piano, Gunter Lenz-bass and Rune Carlson-drums, this combines the new sound in 1960s jazz with a unique spin (both something uniquely Eastern European and, I think, something uniquely Komeda are both in play here). There's not much more to say except: Highly recommended.

First time ever legitimate CD release for this very obscure, very rare, 1970 UK proto-progressive album concept album about the life of a man born at the beginning of the 20th century until the time of his death.
This has a great, fascinating booklet filled with the story of the band, the musicians and the really, really bad luck and bad business deals that dogged them! Includes 5 never-before released demo recordings. This was released in a tiny edition on the tiny Square Records label...

I’ve had this great release since it came out in 1989.
This was the first collaboration between Pavel Fajt’s great avant-leaning, ROCK band (dual guitar, bass, drums) with the addition of Iva's terrific vocals. It's exciting to hear Iva really let loose with such a solid band behind her!

“This CD was actually recommended to me by a music librarian at my local library. At first, I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it, since the very opening of the disc sounded a bit like “New Age” music...

This is a 2014 release that I had never run across before and as far as I can tell, is her most recent totally ‘solo’ solo album. It breaks no ground, but then again, no one else sounds remotely like Iva Bittova!

Kris Davis (piano/composition)
Craig Taborn (piano/composition)

On her 2016 album Duopoly, pianist Kris Davis highlighted her deeply attuned artistry as never before. Conceived as a set of rotating duo performances, Duopoly found Davis in the company of Bill Frisell, Tim Berne, Don Byron, Julian Lage, Marcus Gilmore and other musical giants. Of all these fascinating encounters, it was the pairing of Davis and fellow piano great Craig Taborn, that sparked further extensive collaboration...

“Benoît Delbecq is one of the few true improvising piano geniuses of our times. He has steadfastly created his own musical universe of sound, impeccable craft and beauty that is wondrous, resonant and free in the best sense of the word.” — Fred Hersch, pianist and composer

“[Music of] exotic and mysterious qualities” — Bill Shoemaker, JazzTimes

“Delbecq likes to go beyond normal technique. He puts things on and between the piano strings to make it a raw and sensitive percussion machine.”..

This is written in inspiration by and using the instrumentation and style of “Bitches Brew” and man, often it really does run that voodoo DOWN!

"An analogy if you will;
If BOC's first 3 studio albums were New York City.
Then this 6th studio effort is Los Angeles.
I think that also says something about this bands musical growth in between that time.
This album confused some fans and their expectations, but that doesn't mean it's a bad album...because it's not. This album is the accumulation of a very successful rock band branching out a little bit and flirting with radio friendly Rock and Roll."-Kevin Sweet

Large scale jazz compositions from this new (to me) Catalan composer and pianist.

CATALeXI: In Greek and Latin metrics, omission of the last syllable of the verse.

Catalexi is a new compositional and interpretive adventure led by the prolific musician and composer Sergi Sirvent.
The project was born with the support of the Fira Mediterrània de Manresa with the aim of connecting two worlds much closer than it may seem a priori: traditional music and jazz.
With Sirvent's....

“Rivendel were a early / mid 90s Spanish prog band who released two albums in that time and then disappeared for 20 years, only re-emerging again in 2015 with a new album.
This is their 2nd release since their return and is, I thought, an extremely good modern prog record!

“This Spanish band published two strong albums some twenty yea

“As a long time enjoyer of XTC, I occasionally check in on what Andy Partridge is up to, and recently came across a blurb about him producing this album by Jen Olive. Brief snippets I heard sounded interesting, so I gave it a try.
The first track, "Boulevard", scared me a bit, because with its from-left-field guitar technique and melodic sensibility, I thought "Here's someone wearing their XTC influences a bit too prominently....", but that fades before too long, and I start to instead catch whiffs...

"This music was improvised and recorded live in the Headroom Studio at Swindon New College on the 17th December 2005, and the 13th and 14th February 2006. There was no rehearsal or discussion about key, tempo or feel and no overdubbing; It just came out like this"

"Late last year Andy Partridge worked with his former XTC original keyboard player Barry Andrews and Shriekback Drummer Martyn Barker on an improvised music project. The trio played live in Swindon's Headroom Studio and over three...

This extremely high quality radio broadcast from August 1978 in Chicago is from the earlier part of their ‘More Songs About Buildings And Food’ tour, and about 2 months before I saw them in DC, where they slayed.

Great to see this relic from the very early 70s reappear on vinyl and with the original textured sleeve ("...all selections were written and composed by Dashiell Hedayat on Autumn 69...and finally recorded at Strawberry Studio on May 1971. Warning: This record must be played as loud as possible, must be heard as stoned as impossible and thank you everybody.").
Originally released 1971 on the rare and collectable Shandar label, this was the work of French writer Jack-Alain Leger, who released an...

"Well written (and very french) symph rock. For this album Booz was helped by three Alice members, bassist Alain Suzan, drummer Alain "Doudou" Weiss and guitarist Paul Semama along with ex-Zoo violin/sax player Michel Ripoche with also Michel Coeuriot on keyboards and William Sheller on piano and arrangements. Starting with a spoken monologue by Booz, the short second track will give an idea for what is going to come with its Zeuhl-ish pounding bass, the dark choirs and the orchestral strings. From this...

"Arachnoid's only album is an amazing opus from 1978 that combined the strengths of other French symphonic groups like Shylock and Ange into a darkly futuristic and aggressive blend. Another frequent comparison made to Arachnoid is King Crimson, and the band is definitely influenced by that group's mid-period albums. Digital synths seem to abound, in tandem with traditional "prog" instruments like mellotron and organ, though their presence does not detract at all, but are used appropriately to create a...
