Nurse With Wound List

Excellent sounding live concert recording of Achim revisiting with obvious great affection, his tripply, early 70s sound. Who imagined this could happen? Not me!

“In my opinion, A.R. & Machines' Green Journey is one of the most musically important albums of all time in Germany. This live recording from 2017 is great. The whole thing doesn't sound quite as crazy as it did in the seventies, but it is unmistakably Achim Reichel and Machines. Personally, I really like this recording. There is...

A beautiful and huge 10 CD + 96 page hardcover book box set! This is out of print but we found a few more. This is completely essential for fans of Krautrock!
Achim Reichel is a unfairly forgotten krautrock pioneer whose history traces back to The Rattles (Germany's most popular "beat" band) in the early 60s. Starting in 1970 with A.R. & Machines, he moved on musically and developed an early progressive / kosmiche / style using echo-plexed guitars and...

Gilli Smyth - space whisper / vocals
Kawabata Makoto - guitar & voice

Josh Pollock - guitar & megaphone voice
Hiroshi Higashi & Cotton Casino - synthesizer & voice

“Absolutely superb listening to be had on 'Live In Tokyo'. Gig was recorded at the Doors Club in in Tokyo, Japan sometime in April, 2004.
Tunes that more than make this disc a keeper are first two minute-long wacky cuts "Gnome 11

"Without a doubt, this is one of the holy grails of the Japanese early seventies lysergic psych scene, together with Speed Glue & Shinki, Sato Masahiko & Soundbreakers and People/Ceremony.
Privately released in a tiny edition on the Oz Records label way back in 1973, the original artifact was and is till this day the only legitimate recording on vinyl to feature the Rallizes and Acid Seven, in addition to a side each from Minami Masato and the legendary Taj Mahal Travellers.
New double-CD ...

The second of their 2 'official' albums released during their lifetime. Recommended and essential early 70s German progressive rock.
Agitation Free were an instrumental, dual guitar oriented, somewhat 'jammy' oriented psychedelic/Krautrock outfit. In addition to the guitar, they are best known for giving the world synthesist/keyboardist Michael Hoenig.
This adds bouzouki, mellotron, 12-string guitar to their twin guitar, "Krautrock meets the most out moments of the Grateful Dead" sound.

This great album has been out of print for quite some time. If you have been meaning to pick this up on CD, but haven't yet, we have six copies in stock!...

For me, this is the best studio album...

Vinyl edition limited to 1,000 hand-numbered copies! This album consists of the very final sessions by Agitation Free. This is a big psychedelic jam from a lot of different members of the group from the different lineups of the band, including...

Agitation Free were an instrumental, dual guitar oriented, somewhat 'jammy' oriented psychedelic/Krautrock outfit. In addition to the guitar, they are best known for giving the world synthesist/keyboardist Michael Hoenig.
At their best, they combined spacey Krautrock with the most 'out' moments of the Grateful Dead at their most cosmic.
The band only managed to release two studio albums during their lifetime and a number of archival releases.
"Last" was a posthumous live release of 1973...

A fantastic legitimate release from the master tapes of a famous German radio broadcast from 2/2/74. This was released by Garden of Delights a few years ago as "At the Cliffs of the River Rhine" and was one of their best-ever archive releases. This features the group at their peak, with dueling dual guitars, Michael Hoenig's electronic backdrops, bass & drums. Similar to 'Last', but even better - and that's REALLY saying something! Here they really do come across as the Cosmiche Music's version of the...

Back in print and back in stock. This is a winner!

What’s one of the least expected reunions you can think of in 2023? Well, there’s so many possibilities, but certainly Agitation Free is up there.
This is an excellent new album. It doesn’t sound like it was made in the 70s, but it does sound like Agitation Free with a modern edge. Hey! Lütz Ulbrich and Michael Hoenig are both on board here, 50 years later! Zounds! "The Krautrock legend has been resurrected 50 years after their impressive 1972 debut album “Malesch”.

One of the greats of the Krautrock greats, their intertwining dual guitars with synths and rhythm section made them truly the intergalactic Grateful Dead. Nice to see that they are still burning and - based on this - burning brightly!...

This certainly qualifies as one of the least likely comeback albums ever!

“The legendary experimental pop outfit returns with a brand-new record entitled Figures, written, conceived and produced over the last couple of years by Marc Hollander (founder of Aksak Maboul and of the Crammed label) and Véronique Vincent (former singer with The Honeymoon Killers).

UNBELIEVABLE. This is one of the albums that heads many, many people's 'please issue this on CD' list, including mine. This was the first album of two by Aksak Maboul (later changed to Aqsak Maboul, just to fool people), which really wasn't a band, but...

“During the year which followed the release of the Figures double album, 14 artists have revisited or remixed songs from Aksak Maboul's acclaimed "comeback" opus. Participants include experimental pop luminaries The Notwist (DE), Cate Le Bon (GB), Kate NV (RU) and Vanishing Twin (GB), respected electronic music artists Felix Kubin (DE), Tolouse Low Trax (DE), Hello Skinny aka Tom Skinner (Thom Yorke's new bandmate in the Smile project, GB), Matias Aguayo (CL/DE) and Stubbleman aka Pascal Gabriel (GB/BE)...

“Fifteen artists revisit the tracks AND the cover art of Aksak Maboul's latest album 'Figures'!
Ranging from simple remixes to reconstructions and cover versions, these 18 tracks are released on two separate, limited-edition vinyl LPs.
In order to extend the fun (and the metaphor in the title), Aksak Maboul have asked the contributors to also revisit Véronique Vincent’s painting which adorned the front cover of the album.
The participants include experimental pop luminaries The Notwist...

This original generation Rock In Opposition classic has been unavailable for some time. Not only is it available again, but it is less expensive than before. A MUST own.

Aksak Maboul were one of the last of the original R.I.O. bands, and this, their 2nd album, merges intensely composed written sections with smaller sections of improvisation, ethnic tunes and more.

"The late '70s were a heady time in European progressive rock circles. Chris Cutler, drummer of the leading group Henry Cow.

This original generation Rock In Opposition classic is beautifully presented here, with a large format photo and texts booklet telling the story of the band during this era AS WELL AS including the CD "Before And After Bandits", which includes a ton of live and demo material, all of it unreleased, and in 'significantly better than I expected it to be' sound quality, considering the era it is from and it's scarcity, and which is ONLY available with this lp!
Aksak Maboul were one of...

“In the wake of their acclaimed album Figures (2020), Aksak Maboul took a playful sideways step to create this total work, a 63-minute, continuous suite of fifteen pieces, which could be described as an experimental audio play.
The thread running through Une aventure de VV (Songspiel) is Véronique Vincent's text, an enigmatic philosophical-poetical tale unfolding through monologues and dialogues, spoken and sung by a series of characters.
The music was written & arranged by Marc Hollander and...

"A charming poetic hodgepodge this, allowing the Gong shaman Daevid Allen...

This is a solo album from the period when Daevid was living in Australia and working solo. It was designed around Daevid's guitar and voice and some taped accompaniment from guests; it's also one of the earliest Voiceprint releases...

This is both of two albums that joined Daevid with multi-instrumentalist Kramer.
I saw one of their shows and they worked really great together. Kramer put a little bit of edge into Daevid's whimsy, but it was also really clear that both musicians really liked each others' work, despite the apparent differences in style and approach.
Both of these collaborations are some of the best of Daevid's 90s work, I think.

“Previously released in 1980 on David Toop's Quartz label at a time when improvised music in London was settling into a long spell of excellence.
The players here are Steve Beresford, Peter Cusack, Terry Day, and David Toop. Terry had been a member of The People Band in the '60s, one of the groups forming part of the first wave of British improvisation. The rest of the group could be regarded as pioneers of a second generation of improvisers who emerged out of the explosion of musical development...

Originally recorded and released in 1966, this has long been considered one of the early high-watermarks of contemporary improvised music/sound.
AMM were one of the first completely non-idiomatic free improvising ensembles, and this was their very first releas

“In September 1968, Amon Düül played the "International Essener Songtage," Germany's first rock festival of five days duration, which was initiated by the later OHR label boss Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser.
The Berlin hit producer Peter Meisel heard and saw the band there and spontaneously signed them, along with Tangerine Dream and Birth Control.
Amon Düül was close to the Berlin "Kommune 1" and came together at a time when everyone was an artist who wanted to be one. Anyone who wanted to could also be...

This is the first-ever CD issue taken from the original OHR stereo masters.

"Ohr present a reissue of Amon Düül's Paradieswärts Düül, originally released in 1971.

This is the first time that this legendary, raw album, that comes direct from the (very stoned) id, has been reissued on vinyl from the original master tapes. It’s still as distorted and raw as ever, but as the way Duul intended it now...
The album was transferred in high resolution from the analog master tapes at Dierks Studios and carefully remastered.

“About this record and how Limpe and Paul Fuchs got together with Friedrich Gulda:

In 1968, the Austrian classical and jazz pianist Friedrich Gulda organized the First International Music Forum of Ossiachersee with the theme "Improvisation in Music -- Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow". During the third edition of the festival, Gulda got to know the band Anima Sound and was fascinated by their "absolute free music", which they played on home-made instruments.
Anima Sound was Limpe and Paul...

Never before released recordings from 1973!

“Limpe Fuchs studied piano, violin, and percussion in Munich, but all changed in the late 1960s when she met sculptor Paul Fuchs and discovered there was much more space to experiment and discover her own way as in the sculptural environment she had the chance to work directly with materials. Paul first built a horn as a sculpture (the famous Fuchshorn) and started experimenting with its sounds. Then he built a pedal kettledrum adding things to it like...

First ever reissue from the original master tapes!

“Reissue of the 1970 krautrock classic. The timing was right: Five years earlier would have been too early, five years later would have been too late. But Annexus Quam from Kamp-Lintfort near Düsseldorf came along with the right music at the right moment.
The seven-piece band formed in 1967 as Ambition Of Music; they were what was then called a "beat group." In 1970, working with a local trombone choir led to a dramatic change of direction...

Three guitarists, three generations, one album. Günter Schickert, Jochen Arbeit, and Dirk Dresselhaus are all renowned Berlin guitarists. They epitomize three generations of experimental musicians; Schickert personifies the krautrock of the 1970s, Arbeit 1980s post-punk, and Dresselhaus the neo-electronica of the late 1990s and 2000s. Their artistic approaches may differ according to their diverse musical backgrounds, yet what they have in common is a fundamental interest in developing the guitar as a...

At its best, this actually really does sound like the great Archemedes Badkar actually BEING great. At its worst, it kinda sounds like the Dead.

“Archimedes Badkar was started by Per Tjernberg in 1972 and between 1975 and 1979 released four LPs. Recently, three of the original members plus four newcomers gathered in Silence's legendary studio in Koppom. There were two CDs and LPs, 102 minutes of music, mostly from lively first shots.
