“Massive 2CD set of King Crimson songs performed by the rightful successor to the Crimson throne, 21st Century Schizoid Band!
Composed of several King Crimson alumni, including Mel Collins, Ian Wallace, Jakko M Jakszyk, Peter Giles and Ian McDonald, 21st Century Schizoid Band have been carrying the torch of King Crimson since 2002! This live performance was recorded in 2005 and receives a total makeover here with brand new artwork and a full digital audio remaster for a crystal clear listening...

A Christmas album that won't make you want to hurl. The foundation of the incredible vocal force that is Vrttin, the Kaasinen sisters lovingly present their favorite Finnish x-mas songs, arranged by JPP's Timo Alakotila, and performed with an all-star ...

The second album by the band best known for being guitarist Roine Stolt's first professional band. Kaipa were probably the premier symphonic rock group in Sweden in the 70s.

This was originally released in 1976 by Decca and it has not been in...

Krazily named new progressive / psychedelic Finnish band who show a fairly masterful level of maturity and control on this, their third album.
Rather complex in an old-style way (think Kultivator, Gentle Giant, Miriodor) and with nice, ethereal vocals, but also with a certain touch of modern guitar stoner / shoe-gaze-dom that makes this unmistakably sound like a record of today. I'm not doing a very good job of describing it's quality. but a tremendously quality release this is. Highly recommmended!..

“The three leaders, on AT ONE TIME, Henry Kaiser, John Oswald, and Paul Plimley, have all worked with Cecil Taylor, both in performace and in workshops.
Here, they share their love of the late master Taylor’s music with a celebration of language and narrative strategies that were discovered/pioneered by the great piano maestro.

Assembled by Henry Kaiser as his tribute to Derek Bailey - one of Henry's big influences as a player - this very nice digipack consists of about 65% unreleased material and about 35% released-but-often-rare material. It has a very amusing cover which i...

Henry’s latest [at this writing] is this fine overview of his solo work using digital time (delay/repeat) effects.

“More than 45 years ago I was one of the earliest adopters of studio rack effects to radically expand my guitars’ expressive capabilities. One inspiration behind this methodology was my love for solo improvisors who sounded like more than a single musician when performing live. Terry Riley, Evan Parker, Cecil Taylor, and Derek Bailey were early masters of this.
Equally inspiring.

It’s all good stuff, but the two 20’ pieces, Knee Deep In Ghosts and A Sleep In The Deep, are both totally beautiful...

“The baritone guitar is a guitar with a longer scale length, typically a larger body, and is tuned lower than a regular guitar - often pitched halfway between the lowest note of a bass and and the lowest note of a regular guitar.
Henry Kaiser has been playing baritone guitars for over 30 years and this is his first solo album that is all baritone. All solos here are free-..

“One of the wildest concepts of any Kaiser record yet.”—Good Times

"Henry Kaiser has made records with many like-minded guitar experimentalists (Derek Bailey, Ray Russell, Nels Cline, Jim O’Rourke, Fred Frith), but Skip to the Solo, his first album with his longtime friend (and one-time student!) Alan Licht, a denizen of multiple underground New York music circles, i

“Featuring Henry Kaiser and Ed Pettersen on guitars. Over the last few weeks, I’ve been checking out a variety of guitarists, both live and on record, realizing how different each and every one of them are and how incredible they can be. Check out this list: Nels Cline, Joe Morris, John Schott and Will Bernard (live at either Stone’s), Nicola Hein & Nico Soffiato (here at DMG) and Derek Bailey, Ben Monder (on Dan Weiss ' new CD), Mary Halvorson & Alexander Noice (on CD’s). Each guitarist sounds unique...

Two fabulous players give us improvised guitar duets, which get into a wilder, freer vein.

Henry Kaiser – guitarist
Michael Rothenberg – spoken poetry

Recorded live in the studio 9/22/33 by Jeremy Goody at Megasonic Oakland.
Has Henry done a record up to this point with a poet? I don’t think so, but he has now!

Nice album of guitar / drum duets from two fine players. Henry gets to have fun being himself, pulling wild noises out of the guitar, and he and Scott communicate together nicely!

Dirar Kalash - piano

“Dirar Kalash is an improvising musician currently based in his native Ramallah, in the state of Palestine. Opportunities to perform are non-existent. Even access to an instrument is impossible at the current time. On a rare visit to the UK early in 2020, we are fortunate that Dirar found an opportunity to record with the master sound engineer Simon Reynell, on a fine instrument in the beautiful acoustic of St Paul’s Hall at the University Of Huddersfield. The plan had been...

More than anything, for me this is like a cross between Akku / Ronin, The Necks and Dawn of Midi’s small classic, ‘Dysnomia’. Excellent and recommended.

“This is fricking awesome. Just blend the unique Switzerland-based temporary music of Sonar, Akku Quintet, Blaer, Stephan Thelen's current works, with Karl Jenkins' Soft Machine and some minimalistic approach in King Crimson.” – Frank Hadlich

"I remember the day clearly. I was searching for treasures in a record shop in Yaoundé, the Capital city of Cameroon, when suddenly I came across a 7-inch record with a picture of a young man wearing a traditional hat and bearing the marks of several imposing vertical scars on the side of his face, carved when he was just a boy as a reminder of his heritage in the Musgum tribe of the northern part of the country. The record contained two songs -- 'Gandjal Kessoum' and 'Touflé' -- by an artist I had never...

"An Evolutionary Music (Original Recordings: 1972 - 1979) compiles unreleased recordings from the archives of multiversal artist Ariel Kalma. Concerned as much with musicality as spiritual facility, Kalma's work vibrates aside fellow travelers along the great rainbow in curved air of the 1970s avant-garde.

Ariel Kalma's boundary-blurring electronic music is heard here in radiant detail across a selection of work spanning his early free-jazz and spoken word trips to his infinite modular...

There is no shortage of great music out there. The situation for musicians gets worse and worse; less CDs can be sold, less places to play, less money to the musicians and yet...the music perseveres! This is hammered home to me this week by this great Fre
