“The Duck Deluxe box includes the CD plus an exclusive USB "Duck Drive", containing pro-shot in-studio live video of 6 songs, hours of bonus audio (demos/alt mixes), BTS picture gallery, the "Duck Pass" laminate, and more. The ultimate package for Aristocrats fans and instrumental rock diehards who want to go deep on the band’s first ever concept album.”

Another approach to free jazz, four musicians from various musical genres focusing on the compositional structure of improvisation. This is the group’s second CD on SLAM. The band D.A.T.A. consists of four members of South London musicians, who met...

“Thirteen years after the debut with “Disorganicorigami”, the Daal publish their 7th studio album: “Daedalus”. After the release of “Decalogue of Darkness” in 2018 (the most successful album), Alfio and Davide met in Roma in 2019 in order to organize the next artistic activity. The Daal musical expression has always been featuring dark themes or descriptions of tough psychological situations. Even if full of literary influences, the musical offer is mostly instrumental. The Daal’s music is personal...

So, around 1995 or so, there was this really great album on a tiny label of this young band who were obviously well trained classically and who fused pop, eastern-european folk and classical music, with jazz and a punk attitude.
Suddenly in 1998 they reappear as DAAU on SONY Classics (!), with a very good album that included lots of musical guests. Of course *that* didn't last, and so since that time they re-emerge every now and then with a new release.
This is their first album, available...

This 1981 release was the only album released during the lifetime of this Japanese electronic / ambient cross-genre duo, which consisted of Kenji Konishi (synths, guitars) and Izumi Mutsuhiko (synths, guitar, violin) and has long been unavailable on CD.
Now it's available again at a reasonable price, especially for a Japanese release, as a special blu-spec CD release!

Quite good new release from Goblin keyboardist/mastermind Claudio Simonetti, guitarist Nicola Di Staso (of Real Accademia Di Musica/Libra), bass & drums. This is reworkings of (mostly) Goblin, Keith Emerson & Ennio Morricone pieces that were featured i...

Fourth album by Claudio Simonetti's post-Goblin band, who perform much of the classic horror film-score material by Goblin. This is mostly live and adds 3 'bonus' studio tracks, including their..

Great, noisy, spiky electronic music + drums + vocals duo who ended up being very influential 35 years later. This is #4 of the four mentioned below.

"Many things have been said about this band: they were called the godfathers of techno, the pioneers of EBM and the forefathers of electropunk. Yet they only laugh coolly and remain tight-lipped in the face of any attempt to historicize them. Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft better known as DAF is a myth.
What we know is that they released...

"Cycles brings together the poetry of Erika Dagnino and the violin of Stefano Pastor – each in its own medium … the sound of the violin on the disc and the printed word of the poetry in the 24 page booklet.. This dual presentation gives the listener...

“A band singing in their created own language (named “Kolöniel”), does that remind you another band ? Yes, you’re right THAT Kobaïan band led by a famous French drummer!
DAI KAHT story begins in Finland.

"Collaboration between New York beat poet Steve Dalachinsky and French art-rockers The Snobs. Dalachinsky plays with words like models William Burroughs or Allen Ginsberg did few decades ago: using cut-up and automatic writing, he creates new meanings. Not only a writer, Dalachinsky performs regurarly with free-jazz musicians and friends to give his text a new life. You can see the poet at work, how he breaks the rules of the language to create his own and how he embodies his words to converse with the....

This is sophisticated jazz/rock as only the Brazilians can do it! Interestingly, this album contains songs that are based on traditional Umbanda and Candomblé (both are Afro-brazilian religions) cerimonial chants, which are usually supported exclusively by percussion instruments and have here been expanded outwards to use lar

“Scattered notes stretch time, their repetitions evoking the infinite iridescence of dawn--a ritual as inevitable as it is unpredictable. Melaine Dalibert's Musique pour le lever du jour, composed over two years and completed in 2017, was envisioned as "an infinite piece," without beginning or end. Subtle, intangible, both complex and minimal, this hour-long work--dedicated to pianist Stéphane Ginsburgh--lets silence and resonance blossom into shifting colors.
Released by Elsewhere Music (run by...

"‘Making Shore’ – the group’s third album - is another winner from Damanek - once again Sean Timms’ production lends a touch of class to the overall sound of this impressive third album. Those who are fans of longer tracks will love ‘Oculus’ which weighs in at over 30, minutes long closing a truly magnificent album.
Guy Manning: Creating ‘Making Shore’ has been a real labour of love. Demos for the pieces were written quite quickly nearly 3 years ago after the European tour, a set of songs in keeping...

Lao Dan - Tenor Saxophone (1,2,4,5,6,7,8) Suona (3) Effects (9)

"Lao Dan's innovative approach to music seamlessly intertwines elements of rock, free jazz, and noise with textures of Chinese folk music, creating a unique tapestry characterized by improvisational and aesthetic tension. His fearless transgression of genres, infusing Chinese folk-tinged free jazz with the raw energy of punk, results in a compelling and dynamic listening experience."

Although they only had one released single in their lifetime, they were very popular on the live circuit in their day and Andy Summers’ first professional band (after he left, he briefly joined Soft Machine for their second 1968 tour supporting Hendrix!)

“CD equivalent of Tenth Planet long deleted vinyl release of recordings by the legendary 1967 Brittish ACID-ROCKERS. Contrary to some of the material from the album version, all tracks are from ORIGINAL MASTERS. Has 20 page booklet featuring...

“The Darkening Scale is the solo project of David Janssen aka Ted The Loaf of Renaldo & The Loaf. A purely digital affair, DS started in 2006 when RATL was on hold. The Entomology of Sound was the first album and came out as digital file and a very limited CDr. David says about it: "Back in 2006, much to my surprise, I found myself making music again after a long gap. Starting at the bottom of a steep learning curve, The Entomology of Sound was the first result". Several albums followed, one of them...

This small classic of early European jazz was recorded September 14, 1964 at Studio Villa Berg, Stuttgart, Germany and includes three future German stars playing trio style that reminds me a little bit of Paul Bley’s work from the middle 60s. Recommended!

“This is a reissue of the debut album by legendary German pianist / composer Wolfgang Dauner, recorded in a classic piano trio setting. This album, which also marks
