"Single Celled Organism is the new progressive rock project of Jens Lueck. The attentive progVisions reader will recognize this name from my reviews of the albums of his musical partners Isgaard and Volker Kuinke. The later makes music under the moniker Syrinx Call. Jens Lueck has his own Art Of Music Studio and is a respected producer, composer and musician. My first acquaintance with Jens Lueck was at the time when he produced some albums of one of my favorite German bands, Sylvan. To stay with Sylvan...

When I was at the tail end of 8th grade, I had been playing guitar for about a year, I had my first electric guitar (a green Univox) and amplifier (also Univox; I was a company man!) and I was in my first band.
We covered as much of this first Sir Lord Baltimore album, which I had had gotten earlier in 8th grade after hearing it on the radio and my grandmother buying it for me(!) as I could muster and we were dreadful, which was a feature, not a bug.

“With Time is Glass, Six Organs of Admittance is captured once again in the intricate tangle of the fretboards, soaring in open skies above. Like lens flare cutting through the speakers; spiderwebs cracking the windshield that holds back all the onrushing reality. Blowing the dust away, cutting a new path for cognition. After 20 years of living on the road in different places, Six Organs of Admittance had returned home to Humboldt County -- a far country, to some, but still part of the world through...

German heavy classical rock duo formed aptly in 1969. They had an aggressive rock style, mixing in classical and avant-garde elements.
This is the first-ever legitimate reissue of either of their two albums in any format!

“The 1974 live DOUBLE-LP by this interesting Kraut duo, sees a welcome reissue. Sixty Nine played a mixture of symphonic prog and Krautrock, dominated by appealing vocals, exceptional Hammond organ and Moog outings and powerful drumming. Whether you like Frumpy, The Nice...

"LP of kosmische synth-explorations from the Causa Sui drummer. Doppler is the as-of-yet most conceptual album in El Paraiso Records' "Impetus" series, which is the label's imprint of improvisation and chance collaborations. On Doppler, Jakob Skott utilizes two synthesizers and a chain of effects. That's it. This may sound like a tedious exercise, but for an album mostly spliced together by layers and layers of first takes and unexpected real-time peaks and turns, there is a unique sense of both...

"Causa Sui drummer Jakob Sk�tt returns with his second full-length under his own name. Taking the leap from his debut Doppler'sintrovert kosmische synthesizer dronescapes, diving into a full-blown mad scientist one-band mode, Jakob straps on a wide...

"The third album from Causa Sui drummer Jakob Sk�tt expands his one-man-band experiments into vast new territories. Taurus Rising is built from motorik synthesizer arpeggios and heavy-duty live drumming. But rather than simply worshipping endless...

"A vinyl-only release of two epic outtakes that didn't make the main album, Sky Music: A Tribute To Terje Rypdal, due to lack of space.
Guitarist and composer Terje Rypdal (1947) is probably as close as one gets to a living legend in Norwegian music. Sky Music is a heartfelt celebration of an inspirational artist and truly unique guitarist who hasn't fully received the due credit and recognition he deserves for over 50 years of music making.
Initiated by the experimental US guitarist and...

“Meeting somewhere in a place in time and space occupied by Pink Floyd and Ashra - spacey and meditative instrumentals from Berlin guitarist Mathias Rosmann. 'Ride The Horizon' is the 8th album of Sleeping Pandora. The sound trademark are lengthy guitar improvisations, embedded in a more electronic spacey environment, which will take your mind on a beautiful journey.
Bluesy guitar licks alternate with ambient like structures, while preserving the rocky jamming vibe. 'Ride The Horizon' offers endless...

Just a quick note; even though the band was inactive for over a decade, this is them finishing up their mission; the tracks were composed and recording started in 2010-2011, before their inactivity. So it is 100% them with no compromises due to intervening years. Recommended. No one else even remotely sounds like them.

“After thirteen years of hibernation, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, the most gloriously uncategorizable American band in existence, has emerged from stasis to proudly announce the...

Authorized reissue of the first album by Smash, originally released by Philips in 1970, and the first professonal band of Gualberto Garcia.

“Smash was a Spanish progressive rock band founded in Seville (Spain) in 1968, which gained popularity through the Spanish underground scene. It was one of the pioneers of Andalusian rock, fusing the progressive rock of bands such as King Crimson (or psychedelic, like Vanilla Fudge) with the traditional flamenco music of Andalusia. Smash was one of the key..

"Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith composes bright, fluid soundscapes on a variety of synthesizers, most notably the Buchla Music Easel. Excited by the endless possibilities of electronic instruments, her music is filled with vivid, expressive melodies along with her warped, ethereal vocals. Smith grew up on the serene, peaceful Orcas Island in northwest Washington, and attended the Berklee College of Music in order to study composition and sound engineering. She started out as a vocalist before taking up....

A fine jazz/rock release with some (probably inadvertent) Canterbury touches and a whole that will remind some of Pekka Pohjola. Really nice!

�The 70s was a very hectic period for me as alongside different band projects I also worked as a studio musician. This album was something I needed to do, a break from all of it, something of my own, my artistic statement", says Nono S�derberg, looking back.
The mid 1970s was an interesting period in Finnish music. The first wave of Finnish progressive..

First-time ever on vinyl!

This is pretty great to see - finally a full length recording by this very short lived lineup of Soft Machine where after Robert left the band, Elton finally got his dream of having the Softs become something close to a...

Elton Dean: alto sax, saxello, Hohner pianet
Hugh Hopper: bass
Mike Ratledge: Hohner pianet, Lowrey Holiday Deluxe organ, Fender Rhodes
Robert Wyatt: drums, vocals

While the two sets from the second night (February 28, 1971) have been released before, this is the first time that the entire two-night stand has been released. So half of this is previously completely..

SMALL SEAM SPLIT TO SPINE OF JACKET, not too bad, juts not totally perfectThis is the vinyl version of STG's 1st album; it has an alternative cover (not shown) and includes some different versions of pieces to the ones on the CD version.

I first heard of STG from my old, old pal, Shawn Persinger (of Boud Deun) who asked me if I had heard guitarist Bon Lozaga's (of Gonzilla & Gong)) new band, because 'I just saw them and they're fantastic'!
So, I kept my ears open and also...

Toti Soler is a guitarist who may be best known for his work on the great Jordi Sabates album Ocells Del Mes Enlla. El Gat Blanc is instrumental, Flamenco-progressive stuff, with bass, drums and percussion! This is the first-ever reissue of this album on vinyl!

“Toti Soler's second album, together with Sabicas, Smash from 1971-72, and the recording Paco de Lucía made with jazzman Pedro Iturralde, were seminal in creating flamenco fusion, a blend that has travelled far. Soler's syncretism between...

“This first vinyl offering by a sporadically 20-something years unit, still extant, originally assembled under the name Cinema Soloriens by filmmaker/musician James Harrar in 1993, to play accompaniment to his films. The line-up usually includes legendary Sun Ra alto master (and current Arkestra leader) Marshall Allen with Harrar (who is also known for his work with Arthur Doyle and Daevid Allen), plus whoever else is tapped.
For this date, recorded in Nashville back in 2016, the quartet was...
