"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...

"This is the album that built the reputation of the group...it still sounds as crisply smart and outta-time as ever."-Byron Coley

Working in a world-class studio, their justly acclaimed first album has been re-mixed from the original multi-track tapes. It has never sounded better. The front cover is restored to be a facsimile of the original issue, and included is a almost 30 minute long, never-released live bonus track in surprisingly excellent sound.

"Two years only after “Il paese del tramonto”, Unreal City return with a new work, “Frammenti notturni”. If the two previous albums (the debut album “La crudeltà di aprile” was released in 2013) contributed to spread the band’s name all around the international progressive scene, thanks to concerts played in Europe and overseas at the Canadian Terra Incognita festival, this third chapter is destined to consolidate their status as one of the of the most important names in the Italian prog-rock panorama...

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.

"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...

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....

"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...
