Great and surprisingly popular Japanese instrumental postrock outfit who seem to get bigger and better sounding with each release!

"In association with the esteemed Wordless Music Series, MONO super-sized their already legendary live show with...

Latest from this very fine, long-standing Japanese post-rock band, obviously originally influenced greatly by Godspeed, but by now with their own distinct take on ‘the epic’!

“The conflict and correlation between dark and light is a universal theme with a historically rich history. Musically, perhaps no band in the 21st Century has mined that relationship more consistently or effectively than Japan's Mono.
Across 10 albums in 20 years, Mono have convincingly reflected the quietest and most..

"More structured and with a greater feel for dynamics than many Japanese noise rock releases, Mono's One Step More and You Die shows that noise rock shouldn't be afraid to explore quieter sonic spaces -- in fact, the opening track, "Where Am I," is dow...

Mono is a young instrumental band from Tokyo austere and intensetheir music is simple, beautiful and incredibly direct. Sheets of sound, lyricism, wailing guitars and pounding rhythms evolve slowly, morphing into a ritual of noise and ecstasy. What the...

“An amazing release, if you like both Faust Nord and Faust Sud.”

Monobeat Original is the new project by Werner "Zappi" Diermaier, drummer and founding member of the legendary Krautrock band FAUST.
An odyssey of dark-tribal-ritualistic-krautrock with a cinematic bent. From the atavic to the post

Excellent second (and so far the latest) from this excellent stoner/space-rock offshoot of the equally excellent 35007.

“Monstereo serves catchy melodies and energetic rock songs rooted in 70s rock and psychedelia, the four-piece has served jam packed space rock for over a decade!
With this album Monstereo demonstrates their richest and broadest sound yet, with more keyboards, synths, and a variety of guitars, offering, teeth-grinding riffs, big choruses and rock-solid grooves!
The tracks on "In the Hollow of a Wave" represents the best of two worlds. Catchy melodies, heavy riffs and a big sound, combined with...

"Maria Monti's 1974 LP Il Bestario is a rare item even in its native country. Monti is an Italian singer and actress with a noteworthy career, performing as a cabaret singer in the '60s, an ambitious avant-garde folk artist in the '70s, and starring in films by directors such Sergio Leone (Fistful of Dynamite) and Bernardo Bertolucci (1900) all the while. In addition to lyrics by the infamous poet Aldo Braibanti, Il Bestiario features arrangements and synthesizer from legendary avant-garde composer Alvin...

Moon Duo are actually a new psychedelic / stoner / motorik-beat trio and they are led by the singer and guitar player of another fine modern psychedelic band, Wooden Ships.
If you are a fan of the things released by the Beyond Beyond Is Beyond label, this would fit RIGHT in and you will love this one.

"Meaning all things magick and supernatural, the root of the word occult is that which is hidden, concealed, beyond the limits of our minds. If this is occult, then the Occult Architecture...

" Shadow of the Sun is the result of a few months of Moon Duo wrangling with a new and unsettling way of being. Working both in a dark basement in Portland, and above ground in sunny San Francisco, these new sounds and songs veered dramatically from groove to groove, revealing sonic textures the duo had not previously explored. The song "Night Beat", with it's woozy dance rhythm, is an attempt at finding joy and acceptance on this new, shifting ground, while "Wilding" plays off the familiar Moon Duo...

Very, very good, well-played and also well-sung retro-progressive rock from Seattle! I hear influences from classic UK progressive rock like Yes, Camel, Genesis and also traces of Happy The Man.

"With this debut album, Moon Letters clearly shows their worthiness to take a place among the top tier of America

"Jemeel Moondoc and his bandmates are masters of the terrifying art of communicating how they feel, an art which, of course, takes both great intelligence and great discipline…
A fire burns in Jemeel Moondoc’s music and once it was ignited it keeps spreading; it’s the flame you can also feel in the playing of Matthew Shipp, Hilliard Greene, and Newman Taylor Baker...

“'Blues for Katie' opens with Greene's simple figures and simpler variations allowing Moondoc space to breathe. No pyrotechnics in his blues, this is straight soul, almost dipping into a sound like southern gospel. It's a lovely opener and one that Moondoc lends to Greene for a quick solo with a few snapped strings before he closes the spiritual.
'Spiritual Melody (Swing Low, Deep River, Wade In the Water)' carries the gospel sound a bit further - no surprise, given the title. This is a more isolated..

I believe that this Prestige (yes, the jazz label) album was Moondog's first full-length album, recorded in NYC in 1956.

" By the standards of the mid-'50s, or indeed or any era, this was so far-out and uncommercial that it's difficult to believe it was even released. Moondog, by this time well known as a New York street musician, drives these pieces along with maraca and clava percussion, often in odd time signatures. The percussion lines are the backbone for unusual melodies, often Asian...

"A musical film composed of eight "scenes", each representing a crucial moment of a family drama that has the end of everything we know as its backdrop. After the bucolic snowy landscape of After All, set in the not so distant Christmas of 2066, the madness of war is narrated in three moments (The Armageddon Parade/God's Will/The Power The Might) before the forced separation of Remember My Voice and the terrible experiences faced by the child protagonist of the second triptych of songs (Rain of Fire...

Moonlight Sky are a Slovenian fusion band, that they describe as “a Slovenian braid of jazz, rock and diverse rhythms of the Balkan music.”
All instrumental, no fat, no wanking, great playing and a very good album. This one is from 2023.

“Moonlight Sky is emotional if it plays fast, very fast, slow, or very slow. Everything somehow falls into place. Everything gets a sound sense, a certain..

Before there was Moonlight Sky, there was a Moonlight Sky Trio. Before they were Moonlight Sky Trio, they were a prog band with some fusion tendencies and featured a vocalist. After the vocalist left, they went in a much more jazz/rock vein as a trio with guests on keyboards, violin and reeds. That brings us to this album.
This is much closer in sound to their two most recent releases, The Four and Con Fusion, both of which have been very much enjoyed by our customers, and this one, although a bit...

“Curated and annotated by Tim Bowness, Worlds Of Yesterday (1971-1992) is the first official compilation of legendary Warringtonian Prog Rockers Moonshot since 1979’s Shot Hits. From the Crimson-esque grandeur of The Sweetest Bitter Pill to the pastoral beauty of Before That Before, via the warped creativity of Lost In The Ghost Light and engaging Pop of Stupid Things That Mean The World, the album ably demonstrates that while Moonshot may not have reached the commercial heights of celebrated peers...

“Originally released in 1975, The New Worlds Fair saw celebrated author Michael Moorcock bring his vivid imagination to life through music. Joined by The Deep Fix - Steve Gilmore, Graham Charnock, and a circle of collaborators from Hawkwind - Moorcock created a surreal concept album set in a crumbling carnival of the future, where science fiction and satire dance to a glam-rock beat.
