”Recorded from 1979–1980 Repeat / Metal is essentially This Heat’s third proper album, although it was released posthumously in 1993. Arguably their most radical work, Repeat / Metal features side-length tape experiments ranging from the dubby drum loops of “Repeat,” a 20 minute edit / reworking of their landmark piece “24 Track Loop” to the gamelan-inspired sounds of “Metal,” an electro-acoustic work recorded outside of their studio, Cold Storage, and helmed by member Gareth Williams.”

"Limited edition of 300 copies. 180g white vinyl. Insert with lyrics and other information, signed by all five members."

“While this, the third album from This Winter Machine, sees a change of personnel, their ability to write and perform songs which are both tuneful and epic continues to shine through.”

"Produced in collaboration with the legendary Jac Berrocal's label d'Avantage, More Intra Musique is the second LP in Alga Marghen's series dedicated to previously unreleased recording by the drummer and experimentalist Jacques Thollot. While the furious Intra Musique free jazz first LP was centered on a live recording with Michel Portal, Eddie Gaumont, and Mimi Lorenzini at the Faculty of Law in Paris, on an evening in 1969, it is an unexpected Jacques Thollot that you encounter on this second LP...

The great guitarist Richard Thompson - yes THAT Richard Thompson - surprised me and probably everyone else by supplying the soundtrack to this Werner Herzog-directed film.
Produced by Henry Kaiser, the music was improvised by Richard and also with collaborators on some tracks including: Danielle deGruttola-cello, Jim O'Rourke-piano/guitar, Damon Smith-acoustic bass, John Hanes-percussion/drums and Henry himself joins on electric guitar on the track 'Big Racket' (great title!).

Thor Harris has been the drummer for Swans for the last 5 years and this is influenced by minimalism and the avant-garde.

"Thor & Friends is the eponymous full length debut from the avant-chamber ensemble formed by polymath percussionist Thor Harris. It was recorded in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and produced by Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost from A Hawk & A Hacksaw and Deerhoof's John Dieterich. The three core members of the band are Peggy Ghorbani on marimba, Sarah 'Goat' Gautier on marimba...

"While Asmus Tietchens planned to head off "into the future" ("In die Zukunft") with Biotop (1981), Sp�t-Europa witnesses his arrival. Released on Sky Records in 1982, the second album in the "Zeitzeichen" phase not only continued in the style of its...

“Limited to just 300 copies worldwide, this audiophile pressing has been optimised to offer the widest possible dynamic range.
The Whispering of the World”, though released as the sixth Tiger Moth Tales album, was actually recorded back in January of 2020 at the fabulous Fieldgate Studios in South Wales. This stripped back, intimate collection of songs features just Jones at the grand piano and a string quartet.

This was the 3rd album by the great guitarist of Tasavallan Presidentti (and sometimes Wigwam), playing a progressive rock tinged fusion with folk music overtones.
This was recorded in August 1974 and released at the end of the year. The band is:
Jukka Tolonen-guitars and piano
Esa Kotilainen-Moog, clavinet, keyboards
Pekka P�yry-saxes and flute
Heikki Virtanen-bass
Esko Rosnell-drums
plus guests on one track.

“The second album (1972) by German progressive rock band Tomorrow's Gift featured original members Manfred Rürup and Bernd Kiefer, plus the newly recruited drummer Zabba Lindner, known from Sphinx Tush and various records for the Ken exploitation label (Live Experience Band etc). Produced by the famous Conny Plank, this album sounds better than the highly rated debut-LP.
Musically this is more in the progressive jazz-rock vein, with forceful keyboard and bass-interplay, sounding like a Zappa...

“Hip To The Jag, Kavus Torabi's debut solo album, is a blissfully skewed swan dive into the swirling cosmic kaleidoscope of the poet's soul. From spectral, intricate and fragile compositions to psychedelic, joyous and open drone-scapes, it is brave, beautiful and beguiling throughout.
Kavus Torabi's songs dwell on mortality, love and loss. He uses disquieting themes as a way of establishing a context for transcendent bliss.
Over the last two decades, as one of Britain's most inventive songwriters.

"In 1987, RAFAEL TORAL began making his own compositions and solo recordings. 30 years later, these recordings sound remarkably prescient and perfectly timeless—almost fresher today than when they were first released. Rafael has spent the time since then developing his conceptions, with continued explorations in the many records that have followed. On the 30th anniversary of his start, Drag City is reissuing Sound Mind Sound Body and Wave Field, his first two long out-of-print albums, on vinyl for the...

“Progressive rock band from Aachen, Germany circa 1971 to 1974. During their lifetime they recorded one SWF radio session and an album.
Their style mixed jazzy and classical touches, and elements as diverse as Jethro Tull, Amon Düül II or Vinegar.”

“A brand-new studio album from Träden ("The Trees"), formerly known as Träd, Gräs och Stenar ("Trees Grass and Stones") in different incarnations, but often just called Träden for short. Through long, crescendoing improvisations, Träden has found their own unique path in the music world for decades, creating a music with room for everyone. Many younger musicians and friends of minimalist, experimental music have been inspired and followed, astonished that a bunch of Swedish hippies made the planet's...

This is the second and best album of two by this short-lived UK folk rock band. At their best, they combine fine folk rock with good psychedelic touches and a guitarist who is reminsicent of the great Popol Vuh guitarist Daniel Fichelscher! If you dig this sort of thing, you will enjoy this muchly.
