This is a numbered edition of 500 copies reissue of this Quebeçois progressive rock band’s only release which was originally released in 1978 and which has never been reissued on CD OR vinyl!

“Originally released in 1978, French-language Quebeçois band Eden’s only album is a fine example of unusually synth-heavy symphonic prog rock featuring several...

"Eerie Wanda isn�t a person, but rather the name given to the relentlessly memorable recorded results of an album delivered by Croatian/Dutch singer-songwriter Marina Tadic, with a little help from her (incredibly talented) friends, including (but not limited to) the phenomenal rhythm section of Jacco Gardner�s band.

While the word �eerie� isn�t the adjective that springs to mind most readily when listening to �Hum,� there are several others eager to take its place � beautiful, striking and...

First-time reissue on vinyl.

Eiliff were a very excellent, early, mostly instrumental jazz rock band, somewhat influenced by the Mothers Of Invention, Soft Machine & their own "krautrockness".

Featuring guitar, keyboards (Rainer Bruninghaus, later to go on to play with Eberhard Weber's Colours!), sax, bass & drums, they released just 2 albums in their lifetime. This one, recorded in March and April, 1972, was the second of the two, which were both originally released on Phillips...

"Wendy Eisenberg and Shane Parish are two sides of the same wishbone. Both inventive, spiny guitarists with deep roots in all genres, both veterans of critically acclaimed experimental rock bands (Birthing Hips, Ahleuchatistas), both published in Arcana VIII: Musicians on Music, edited by John Zorn (2017). They only just met in March 2018, while Wendy was on tour in Asheville. Hours after meeting...

"This release couples two of Reich's 'sextets' for the first time: the Sextet of 1984 and the Pulitzer Prize winning Double Sextet of 2007, which also makes its first appearance on LP.
A striking difference between the two pieces is that the rhythmic world of Sextet mostly consists of a single-meter grooving, while Double Sextet works in the angular, off-kilter shifting meters reminiscent of Reich's Tehillim (also of Stravinsky). Ekkozone impart a uniquely chamber music feel and color to these works..

A great document of the Prunes live in Sweden on 12/14/67 at the peak of their powers. Recorded live for Swedish Radio, who - considering the time period we are dealing with - really understood how to record loud, psychedelic bands! Excellent quality &...

"2017 album from the German prog rockers. The Vision, The Sword and the Pyre is a rock opera about Joan of Arc. Composed, directed and produced by Frank Bornemann, the work is dedicated to the life and acts of the late Middle Age French heroine Joan of Arc, canonised in 1920, and combines unique musical complexity with absolute and unbiased historical precision. Eloy aside, Frank Bornemann is an acclaimed supervisor and producer of well-known bands of different musical stripes (including Scorpions, Guano...

Embryo are famous for their excursions into world music and collaborations with musicans from all over the globe, but this, their very first album, originally released on the Ohr label in 1970, is a stone classic Krautrock album. And this is the first time it has been reissued on vinyl from the original stereo master tapes!! Highly recommended!!

“A reissue of Emerald Web's Sound Trek, originally released in 1980. Pioneering space music duo Emerald Web, comprised of Bob Stohl and soulmate Kat Epple, made some of the most ethereal, divine, and healing sounds between 1979 and 1990.
Crafting their debut album in a haunted mansion in northwest Connecticut, their second disc was created in a small log cabin. A subsequent move to the San Francisco Bay Area brought an extended stay at an Indonesian martial arts ashram, which led to the Valley of...

"The previously cassette-only album Whispered Visions (1980) by Emerald Web, finally committed to vinyl 30 years since its original release. These tracks are taken from the second ever (and rarest) release by this early synthesizer duo consisting of...

“Newly cut from the 24 bit/96khz master files. 2012 remaster of the original 1970 LP. Original sleeve & artwork. Foreword on the LP audio by Greg Lake.”

The very first album by ELP, from 1970, and a charming period piece of classical rock. Keith is mostly playing piano and organ here, with just a little bit of synths. A no brainer.

"Originally released in 1970, the debut album from the newly formed supergroup combined musicianship and showmanship in a glowing ball of energy. The keyboard..

Reasonably well known and well thought of 'proto-progressive' French album originally recorded in early 1972.

"Ergo Sum is a French progressive rock band based in Aix-En-Provence, led by singer Lionel Ledissez and flute player Jean Guerin. The unique (and highly sought after) album issued by this line-up, "Mexico" (1972), is now reissued and accompanied by a complete biography and bonus tracks. It's still full of the energy and youthfulness of the early Seventies. This music is based on tortured...

"The Espen Eriksen Trio, after worldwide tours that further refined their signature sound, present Never Ending January, their third album. Beautifully recorded and mixed at Propeller Studio in Oslo, the album focuses on typically Scandinavian elements such as folk music, melancholia, and the deep woods.

In that respect it's fair to say that they belong to the same tradition as Tord Gustavsen and the late Esbj�rn Svensson, even Jan Johansson in some respects, but without really sounding like...

"His very last name, Dinleten, means 'listen'. So back to Anatolia once more and hear the unhinged guitar and electric baglama behind Turkish psychedelia's charismatic singer Ersen. He was discovered by Cem, was connected to Mogollarand 3 Hür-El, and even switched backing bands with Cem before finally hitting the charts with his own group Dadaslar. There's loads of B-sides and burly moves on these 70s singles which make his second LP, released in 1978. Wicked funk drums, fuzzy guitars,organs and the...

" Esmark, named after a glacier at Spitzbergen that debouches into the Ymer Bay, is a collaboration between the sound architect Nikolai von Sallwitz (Taprikk Sweezee, Karachi Files) and the experimental artist Alsen Rau (Scheich In China, On+Brr). Both have worked on various experimental and performative projects together since 2001. Alsen Rau is also known as one half of the German Duo On+Brr. He recently released under the name Scheich In China and he is one of the founders and curators of the...

"Esmerine is the modern chamber ensemble co-founded by former Silver Mt. Zion member Rebecca Foon and Godspeed You! Black Emperor alumnus Bruce Cawdron in the early 2000s, composing two beloved albums of post-rock based around cello and mallet instruments on Madrona Records in 2003 and 2005. The group emerged from a semi-hiatus in 2010 and have made four acclaimed full-length records of uniquely emotive, lyrical, exploratory instrumental music since then (all released by Constellation) – each marked by...

This is a numbered, limited edition.
Drummer/percussionist Toni Esposito released a small series of very nice fusion releases in Italy during the mid 1970's that combined elements of bands like Weather Report with a sunny, Mediterranean flavor. This uses guitars, saxes, keyboards and bass in addition to Toni's percussion work.
Some of you older folks may know this album by its U.S. title of Procession of the Hierophants, as this was the one and only album of his to be released here, as part of..

Beautiful, legitimate and fully licensed reissue with the striking cover art!

Etron Fou were one of the premier French avant/progressive bands from 1974-1986, & a founding member of R.I.O. This reissues the Etron's 1st album, from early 1977. This is certainly their most dada/out album, and I have a real soft spot for it in my heart, but I wouldn't recommend you start here unless your interest is more in general French craziness than in the superb musicality that came later.

Beautiful, legitimate and fully licensed reissue of a stone classic of the early and original R.I.O. movement.

"When it comes to outrageous German sleeve designs, it's impossible to not mention (this) album. It presents a half-burned chicken lying in a frying pan. The album offers a typical German progressive blend, drawing equally from heavy rock, folk, jazz and classical. The six tracks were cleverly arranged, with rich instrumentation and sudden shifts of tempo. Inside the fold-out cover was a Black Sabbath-like shot of the band at a graveyard, burying a chicken!"-Cosmic Dreams At Play.

This is kind of an amazing progressive rock find from France. Evohé were a progressive / symphonic rock band from Toulouse with some definite zeuhl touches who never released anything during their lifetime.
They recorded this, a proposed album release, which never found a home (how could it in 1981?) and lay dormant until now!
This has THE SOUND because

“In 1981, The Ex started squatting Villa Zuid, an estate overlooking abandoned Van Gelder paper factory in the village of Wormer, Netherlands. Formerly the home of the factory's manager, the Villa briefly served as the band's base of operations and would inspire one of The Ex's most impactful, enduring albums in their 40+ year history.
