“You are invited to the 'Interdimensional Garden Party' - a rhythmic fiesta of guitar-driven psychedelic prog rock fusion featuring a wonderful array of stunning musicians. Come and taste the vibrant brew of trippy rock songs mixed with wildly imaginative instrumental music that alludes to everything from 'Pink Elephants On Parade' to Frank Zappa's albums from the 70s. Join the party - all are welcome!”

“Narrative film music and sound design for Robert Wiene's classic 1920 psychological thriller. Digitally restored in 4K by the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Murnau-Foundation.
Musician and writer Karl Bartos has long been admirer of Weimar-era culture. During his time in Kraftwerk, he helped create the stunning track Metropolis, directly inspired by a band viewing of the classic 1927 Fritz Lang film of the same name. The original orchestral music composed for The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari by Giuseppe Becce had...

Professionally recorded, never-before released show from Chicago on March 21, 1974, when the band was touring America (for the first time?) supporting Hawkwind. The band were supporting their Rhinos, Winos & Lunatics album, and although no material from that album appears here, this is a fantastic performance!

The famous documentary film of Cream's farewell concert from The Royal Albert Hall, on November 26th, 1968. I remember seeing this on TV several times as a Cream-addled youth; amazing to see it again now.

“It was Baker, Bruce and Clapton who demonstrated that harmonically and structurally, what was dismissed as rock'n'roll could be every bit as complex as any contemporary, so-called classical, music. I believe that what still gives the film its power is partly a result of the circumstances in...

“The Let It Be album has been newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell. All the new Let It Be releases feature the new stereo mix of the album as guided by the original "reproduced for disc" version by Phil Spector and sourced directly from the original session and rooftop performance eight-track tapes.”

“Gotta love the audio outtakes from John Lennon in particular in included on this disk...”

Tomeka Reid – cello
Mary Halvorson – guitar
Jason Roebke – bass
Tomas Fujiwara – drums

Cellist, composer and MacArthur Fellow Tomeka Reid explores new improvisational math with 3+3, the third release by her all-star quartet and her most adventurous project as a leader yet. Featuring Jason Roebke on bass, Tomas Fujiwara on drums, and fellow MacArthur Fellow Mary Halvorson on guitar.

"Paul Wertico was the drummer in one of the most successful jazz bonds in the world, the PAT METHENY GROUP, 1983 - 2001. Here is his long awaited solo album: "The Yin and the Yout".
It features Bob Mintzer, Dave Liebman, Victor Bailey, Richie Beirach, Mino Cinelu and Dave Holland. An exceptional album with a killer line up, very beautiful tracks, and the master himself on guitar backs up his exceptional drummer for this solo project!"

“The Legendary Pink Dots are an Anglo-Dutch experimental rock band formed in London in August 1980. In 1984 the band moved to Amsterdam, playing with rotating musicians and having, as core members, singer/songwriter/keyboardist Edward Ka-Spel and keyboardist Phil Knight aka The Silverman. The band was originally called "One Day..." but subsequently changed the name to The Legendary Pink Dots, apparently inspired by pink dots on certain keys of the band's main recording studio piano.
In the 1980s...

Three GREAT albums (one never before heard or even known to have existed!) plus an amazing book that sets the scene for the Catalonian progressive scene just after Franco. Chris / ReR have really done a great job on this. Hugely recommended, even if you have two of the CDs already, because the unreleased disc and the booklet are both amazing!

“This box collects and restores two legendary and totally great mid-70s releases, met at the time with extravagant critical acclaim but few sales outside of..

Markus Reuter: Touch Guitars® S8, Live Looping
Stefano Castagna: Synths, Samples, Bass, Voice, Percussion, Treatments

“Member of The Stick Men and Tu-Ner, leading polymath composer and touch guitarist Markus Reuter embraces a different and more celestial music in 'Sea of Hopeless Angels', his entrancing duo collaboration with electronic producer/art-rock revivalist Stefano Castagna.
In a free and sinuous narrative, Markus' clean-toned and unedited touch guitar solos merge with...

Wendy Eisenberg – guitar
Ava Mendoza - guitar
Bill Orcutt - guitar
Shane Parish - guitar

“I first saw the quartet in San Francisco a few months before this double live LP was recorded. I was already familiar with the prowess of Eisenberg and Mendoza, two of the most technically intimidating shredders to blast out of the noise/improv underground, and knew Parish as the mastermind behind the epic translation of Orcutt's quartet recordings into a fully notated score. I was ready to be..

Ivo Perelman: tenor saxophone
Matthew Shipp: piano
Mark Helias: double bass
Tom Rainey: drums

"Water Music signals a pivot, marked by a quality not usually associated with Perelman’s music. His improvisations here contain a new emphasis on melodic lines; I’d even dare call them “lyrical." In fact, this was always present to some degree and maybe not always recognizable to everyone...
...Perelman’s music, like the ocean, has always had its own sense of time and rhythm, as it ebb

“Hungary's gift to the world. Omega are a truly world class Progressive Rock band of the first order. These guys can be as good as anyone when they're on their game. And to me the mid to late 1970s was when Omega was at their peak as a band.”-rym

“After four studio albums and one compilation, the Hungarian megastars Omega were still much of an an insider tip in the West. However, sales figures were noticeably rising, though far from going through the roof. In addition, the band had evolved...

Teddy Lasry is best known as being one of the reed men in the first edition of Magma, appearing on Mekanik, 1001 and Kobaia.
But after leaving Magma circa 1973, he made a bunch of library music albums (which I have never heard), as well as two very excellent, more keyboard / electronic-styled progressive albums for RCA in 1976 and 1979, of which this is the first.
At one point, I tried to license the two RCA albums for Cuneiform, so you know that I think highly of them; this is its first-ever...

"Official vinyl reissue of this epic heavy UK hard rock album from 1972, produced by Deep Purple's legendary frontman, Ian Gillan, originally released on the Decca/Deram label.
It was Gillan who said of them: 'Not many bands really excite me. But this one's so raw and completely unpretentious. They make the biggest, bloodiest noise you can imagine, tempered with moments of extreme emotion.' And, of course, he's right -- the music is a menacing combination of over-the-top vocals and screaming lead...

“Oddly, "Aún es tiempo de sonar" marked the beginning of the end for the Argentinean band Banana: the end of their mass popularity, having been recognized until 1978 (and still to this day) as one of the most recognized outfits in Argentina thanks to their ballad-driven compositions — and the beginning of a wholly new orientation in a symphonic prog vein.
César Pueyrredón, the mastermind and Banana’s main composer, his passion for melody, and his unique romantic style were the main drivers behind...

“Psychedelic rock from NYC's No-Neck Blues Band commune. Egypt’s live shows from 98-99 were truly mind-blowing experiences that inspired this writer to start the Psycho-Path Records label to release their psychedelic music.
“How Many Pieces” album was recorded in the studio, in 1999. Four long tracks, Beefheart-meets-Sun Ra style.”

Typically thorough reissue on Garden of Delights of the exceedingly rare (only 150 made) self-released 1969 album by a trio of organ/piano/trumpet/vocals, bass and drums. Obviously very influenced by The Nice and perhaps to a lesser extent early Soft Machine, this album was recorded live to stereo tape and has a really raw feel to it. The band later metamorphosed into the equally obscure Sixty Nine (a drum and keyboards duo). Includes a thorough band history and many rare photos in the 16-page deluxe...

“Gäa from the German state of Saarland have become quite known in collectors’ circles thanks to their LP "Auf der Bahn zum Uranus" from 1974.
In early 1975 they recorded three tracks for a unfinished second album. These tracks [over 20’] are simply brilliant and show how mature and inventive the band was at that time. The tracks have been rediscovered only recently and form the heart a

“The Floating World is the solo project of Amanda Votta. Begun in 2005, three albums have been released so far; Full Sturgeon Moon (Hand/Eye 2005), Unda (Barl Fire 2005) and River of Flowers (Foxglove 2006), appearing as well on a few compilations. Amanda has also collaborated with Gustaf Hildebrand in Lacus Somniorum, as well as with Far Black Furlong and New Risen Throne. She also has a band, Secrets to the Sea, with Neddal Ayad from Desolation Singers.
The Apparition is Amanda Votta’s attempt to...

“Sixth release (and the first for Cyclic Law) of the Norwegian drone ambient project Taphephobia created by Ketil S (also of Mulm and ex-Northaunt.) As emphasized by its title, this record is intented to take one away from the mundane everyday world, it is not a concept album, rather an album where both the music and the titles are open for interpretation. The soudscapes lead to an inner experience where you can discover your own hidden voices and your own secret world of colours. An inner journey which...

TRAMA! is the second album by the instrumental Italian art/metal/progressive band Juggernaut.

"Around 1980, Carla Bley seemed to find herself torn between several possible avenues of expression. On the one hand, you had her wild (and wildly successful) projects like Escalator Over the Hill and Tropic Appetites, where styles and musicians were combined with inspired abandon. Then there was the romantic classical aspect as shown in her composition "3/4" and, with jazz influences, her fine, ambitious Social Studies release. But, always lurking beneath the surface was her itching desire to have...

"Japan's proggers Flied Egg, consisting of former Strawberry Path alumni Shigeru Narumo and Hiro Tsunoda, supported by former Brush leader, Masayoshi Takanaka, released two albums in the early '70s, Dr. Siegel's Fried Egg Machine being the first and undoubtedly the better of the two. Dr. Siegel's..., originally released in 1972, is a much more keyboard-oriented affair, with Narumo adding a Moog, celeste and harpsichord to his usual Hammond and piano line-up. On this album, the musical influences are more...

“Two extended live duos on drums/objects/electronics & harp/melodica/ electrification. From almost subliminal to searingly intense.”

“This album is very much a game of two halves, consisting as it does of two live imporvisations by Chris Cutler and electric harpist Zeena Parkins (News From Babel, Skelton Crew, Bjork). The style is not that far removed from the Cutler/Frith improvisations, although (perhaps surprisingly) it often comes closer to straight ahead rock music than the guitar/drum duets..
