"In today's increasingly barren rock and roll landscape, Ulan Bator stand as beacons of explorative songwriting. Formed in Paris in 1993 by Amaury Cambuzat (vocals, guitar and keyboards) and Olivier Manchion (bass), the band's atmospheric approach to composition has consistently yielded guitar-driven, avant-rock at once hypnotic and untamed. And while their sound has developed in a variety of directions - often in relationship to changing line-ups and various collaborations, including with Faust and...

James Blood Ulmer: guitar
Mats Gustafsson: tenor & baritone saxophone
Ingebrigt Håker Flaten: electric & double bass
Paal Nilssen-Love: drums, percussion

This places Blood in front of a smokin', crazy band of youthful equals and makes for the best and most 'out' album he's made in years and years!

"Viking jazz band The Thing team up with one of the legendary men of jazz and blues. Guitarist and singer Ulmer combines (free) jazz, blues, funk, and rock -- always on the edge...

First-ever vinyl reissue of this Finnish jazz/rock album recorded in May, 1975. Released on the Hi-Hat label, this was the only release by this Finn-filled supergroup. The best known player is the bassist and band-leader Pekka Pohjola. Also featured are Olli Ahvenlahti (electric and grand piano, moog, string synth and organ), Paroni Paakkunaien (flute, soprano, alto, C-melody saxes), Nono Soderberg (guitar), and Reino Lane (drums). While the other four are not as well known to the casual eye as Pohjola...

This reissues one of the rarer and stranger items in the Magma cannon. Recorded by the 1001 Degrees Centigrade band (Christian Vander, Klaus Blasquiz, Francois Cahen, Francis Moze, Teddy Lasry, Yochk'o Seffer + guests), this was initiated by Magma's...

"Sub Rosa present a reissue of Univers Zero's second album Heresie, originally released in 1979. 2010 remixed version (Cuneiform Records). A classic of chamber rock music, featuring heavy use of dissonance and dark, brooding, and extremely complex melodies. Includes insert."

"This music on this LP might have little to do with rock, and might also be a massive downer, but the quality of the writing and playing is extremely high. Michel Berckmans' solo work on oboe and bassoon work is magnificent...

John Dikeman saxophones / Jon Rune Str�m double bass / Tollef �stvang drums / Joe McPhee pocket trumpet, alto saxophone.

This vinyl version has an entire side of otherwise unreleased material!
"John Dikeman, Jon Rune Str�m and Tollef �stvang choose as the name of their trio the title of an Albert Ayler�s composition, �Universal Indians�, because of its double symbolism. The purpose was to inspire their playing in the free jazz patrimony of the likes of John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Cecil...

This is a limited edition, unbelievably high-quality, limited edition of 500, 180 gram, beautifully done, lp version of one of our Cuneiform releases which we licensed out to another label. And man, did they do a splendid job. I have to say that the 'tip-on' lp jacket, which is both embossed and lacquered on the embossed sections, is seriously the most beautiful lp printing job in, like, ever!. Hugely and hightly recommended, especially at this special price.

Upsilon Acrux is an instrumental....

Back in stock and new, lower price.

Limited to only 500 copies. This is the only way to get the music by Upsilon Acrux here and despite their jokey name, HRMAG are a interesting and excellent psych/progressive outfit, who collaborated with Hugh...

"One of the Keski-Pori parish priests entered the pulpit and managed to turn on the microphone: "You cowards! Every Sunday the pews are empty, but NOW you are here!"...The Urban Sax muummies stood untouched. The whooping and stomping coninued."-from the newspaper account of the performance.

Finally for the first time in something like two decades, there is a reasonably priced release by this quintessential French avant / art / performance band and spectacle. Recorded in a church on July 12, 1984...

$10.00 off the regular price, while they last!

Finally reissued for the first time in over 2 decades (and for the very first time on vinyl), is the classic, fantastic first release by this quintessential French avant / art / performance band and spectacle. One of France's greatest contributions to avant-progressive music during the 70s-80s! And the sleeve is magnificent. Hugely recommended!

"Urban Sax's debut LP was issued in 1977 on Cézanne / Cobra. It is the soundtrack of Urban...

Another great band I discovered thanks to getting to see them play, at a show where I just went 'because', not knowing anything about them and where they completely surprised me and utterly slayed!
Us, Today are a young trio from Cincinnati, OH, who play a sort of modern progressive rock with a lot of modern / hipster touches.
The unique lineup is
Kristin Agee-vibes + synths
Joel Griggs-guitar + synths
Jeff Mellott-drums
The sound is interesting, fun, rockin' and unique....

“The combined forces of Steve Davis, Kavus Torabi (Gong/ Cardiacs/ Knifeworld/ Guapo) and Michael J. York (Coil/Teleplasmiste/Guapo) have arrived at no less than a modular driven kosmische colossus of transcendent power enough to drive all talk of green baize firmly into the blue yonder.
With Davis’ modular geometry and ambient structures weaving with Torabi’s keen and skewed sense of melody and York’s various gifts for pipes, drones and fevered abstract – the result is a beguiling tapestry as likely..

"UUUU is a new outfit featuring Edvard Graham Lewis, Thighpaulsandra, Matthew Simms, and Valentina Magaletti. Individually these humans have implanted feathers in caps such as Coil, Dome, Wire, Tomaga, etc. Collectively they form UUUU, a powerhouse construction of fierce and free sonic exploration, as liberating as it is frightening, resulting in a richly rewarding sound. The artists united present a project of exquisite curiosity and confident chaos where the individual thumbprints mesh into a...
