"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...

Beautiful, exact replica of the great-looking, gatefold original of this album.

This was a one and done, great, very rare & sorta underdiscovered, 1973 classical rock quartet's only album (vocals, Hammond Organ/piano/synths, bass/guitar & drums). From the opening 15 seconds, you'll know that this one delivers the goods & comes close to "out Tarkus-ing" ELP themselves.

Everyone plays really well, the singer has a slight Greg Lake sound to his voice, & those classic analog sounds are a...

The cover sure looks great in full size!

This is the 7th studio album by the always amazing Upsilon Acrux. This time they are a quintet of dual guitars, dual drums and Fender Rhodes piano.

This is a band with an amazing track record of...

Finally reissued for the first time in over 2 decades, is the classic, fantastic third 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! While the sleeve isn't as great as the preceding two, this is the first one where the band's sound began to sound like what they still sound like to this day, with much greater instrumentation beyond just the massed saxes. I love all of this band's...

Finally reissued for the first time in over 2 decades (and for the very first time on vinyl), is the classic, fantastic second 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 music is constructed over the concept of "'continuous sound'", around which build and develop poly-rhythmic loops, modulated and nested in

The first vinyl reissue in many, many years of this classic one-off release that's *almost* a Amon Duul II album, but isn't quite an Amon Duul II album. It's still really good though....

"It seems that even in 1973 Amon Düül II still wanted to do double albums! But, instead of making WOLF CITY into a double, somehow this side-line project came in to being, fronted by three musicians who had earlier worked together in Passport (on their debut LP). Although since reissued as an Amon Düül II album...
