Skogsberg, Joakim - Jola Rota vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Originally on the very, very collectable and rare Gump label (my pal, drummer & record collector Peter Nordins, of Anekdoten, gave me a GUMP t-shirt for my birthday some years ago!)

Kapital / Richard Pinhas - Flux "A new album from Kapital (duo of Rafal Iwanski and Jakub Ziolek) and Richard Pinhas (Heldon).

"My first encounter with Richard Pinhas in a live setting took place in 2009 when he played CoCArt Music Festival in Toru ," recalls Rafa.

Pinhas, Richard - Metatron 2 x CDs "We take it for granted today, but not too long ago, integrating electronics into a rock setting was something exotic and strange..... Heldon and Richard Pinhas are considered building blocks for whole schools of experimental rock music, and one of the few who rarely fail to deliver on the hype."-Pitchfork Media. "Richard Pinhas demonstrates that he is capable of contstructing some of the most formidable but exhilharating sonic edifices ever heard by mortal ears."-Bill Tilland/All Music.. RUNE 228-229 $21.00
Henkel, Brad / Jacob Wick - Lovely Bag You Have “’I love your shirt" opens the album with a quick-changing sequence of contrasting textural exchanges. A sound rather like a kitten's mew counters a fuzzy eruption, then a pipe-scouring squall counters an elongated burr, setting up a dynamic of call and response, which suggests that one either musician relies upon a jazz-rooted sound palette, their shared backgrounds in jazz still influence their understanding of musical interaction. The duos exchanges are sufficiently spirited that you might even... RPR 1108 $13.00
Pinhas, Richard - Iceland 2 x vinyl lps (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) This was Richard's first album after the dissolution of Heldon and it's an mostly solo work (Francois Auger (drums) and Jean-Philippe Goude (mini-moog) join him on one track) that conjures up impressions of icy, pristine landscapes. “Consisting of longer, brooding synth-based pieces as well as short proto-industrial études and interstitial sketches, Iceland features Pinhas’ delay-ridden electric guitar, pulsating machine rhythms and analog synthesizer washes—all vivid in texture and timbre... 16-SV 053 $24.00
Zombi - Shape Shift 2 x vinyl lps (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) After far too long, a new one from this quite fabulous synths and drums instrumental duo. They've certainly kept busy as each half of the band has released solo albums and they toured the USA with Goblin, where I finally got to see them. While you can hear their influences clearly (Goblin! Heldon! 70s synth-disco Giorgio Moroder, Tangerine Dream!), they really just sound like Zombi at this point and no one else. This is a really strong one from them and this conceivably might be the one - if there ever.... 19- RR7315LP $29.00
Rough & Wojtyla Featuring Richard Pinhas - Rough & Wojtyla Featuring Richard Pinhas vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only.

Richard Pinhas, the founder of '70s legends Heldon is one of France's best known experimental musicians and is a key figure in the fusion of rock with electronic music. Drones are supported by a tentative jazz drum beat and Pinhas's guitar. In perfect harmony, the three musicians don't take themselves seriously. They saturate their sonic world with long abstruse silences, before returning more furiously into the barely... 05-BBLP 057LP $20.00
Pinhas, Richard - De l'Un Et Du Multiple (expanded) 2 x vinyl lps (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Nice album of guitar "Pinhas-tronics" released in 1996 on Spalax.

Grunblatt, Georges - K-Priss vinyl lp (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Georges Grunblatt was an early member of Heldon, appearing on Allez Teia. This rarity, which came out on French Polydor in 1980 and which has never-before been reissued in any format, is his only solo work, and is very much in the Heldon vein musically (in a kind of post-Allez Teia trippy vein) with lots of Heldon tie-ins. This appears to be a legit reissue as best as I can tell. Recorded at Ramses Studio in 1977, the engineers were Jean-Louis Rizet and Richard Pinhas. And look at the credits. 15-FBK 007 $23.00

Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) “The fourth solo album by French spacerock mastermind Pinhas, East West was his first and only album to be released by a major label (CBS). Some say it is his most commercial but Pinhas doesn't see it that way. "Signing to CBS was a blessing. It gave me the tools for better production. At that time, some big companies were better and more honest than the so-called underground labels. Besides, I don't see any virtue in remaining underground.

Space Art - Play Back vinyl lp + CD (due to size and weight, this price for the USA only. Outside of the USA, the price will be adjusted as needed) Third and final Space Art release. �This album contains so many haunting, epic, ridiculous and danceable moods. The drumming is sick. The synths shoot around with a sense of future-mall romance. The compositions hit with drama, humor, and natural energy. Moments of French prog, disco and heavy doses of that kind of electronic art-pop which was the style of the early 80's. To me, that mix of influences sounds so delicious! What gives this group that extra touch is the arpeggiating synths... 05-BEC 5156239 $27.00
