"Bridging the gap between heavy riff-worship and expansive, free-jazz experimentation alongside perfectly timed outbursts of psychedelic spontaneity is no easy task, but Copenhagen’s MYTHIC SUNSHIP embrace every facet of that challenge with an awe-inspiring ease. Having made a name for themselves by incorporating John Coltrane-style jazz elements into the world of modern psychedelic music, there is something intensely alluring about a band that enforces a scorched earth policy when it comes to looking...

“With their new album Wildfire, renowned Copenhagen-quintet Mythic Sunship begins a new chapter of the free-form rock journey that has seen them put out a critically acclaimed album annually for the last five years and made them one of Europe's most interesting new psychedelic bands.
Ripping apart the foundation that the previous albums were built upon, the group has reinvented itself to present an album showcasing the band at it's core and most primal form. Recorded over the course of four intense...

“Mythica were a folk & poetry band from Oxford, formed by Pete Dobson (guitar,vocals), Pete Lynch (violin, guitar, banjo) and Arf Billington (harmonica,vocals).
They recorded several times for the BBC, a demo album at Zella and also demos at George Martin AIR Recorded in the Summer of 1969 and predating COB's debut to which this LP has similarities in tone and compositions. Sleeve notes by the band.
A significant addition to Britain's historic Folk Rock recordings it's one to file alongside...

First-ever reissue from the masters!

Second and last really good album by this this long lived German band who may even still be active today. But this early work, from 1973, and on Kosmiche Musik delivered the goods. More of a straighforward Krautrock/spacerock band this time around with pulsing, echo-plexed guitars, etc.

"...Dreamlab befitted its title as one of the dreamiest and trippy of cosmic music albums, a wonder world of flutes, mellotron and synthesizers. Mysterious and totally.



“Ohr present a reissue of Mythos' self-titled album, originally released in 1972. Mythos was formed in 1969 on the initiative of Stephan Kaske (flute, keyboards, vocals, guitar), who found two comrades-in-arms in Harald Weisse (bass) and Thomas Hildebrand (drums). Various performances impressed label boss and talent scout Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser so much that the band was able to release their debut album on the Ohr label in 1972.
On Mythos the band realized a mixture of art rock and psychedelic with...

"A major work of electronic avant-garde -- high quality deep esoterica of the weird and spooky kind."-Alan Freeman

Lost-in-time kosmische/kraut/avant-garde artifact produced by Toby Robinson, aka The Mad Twiddler, circa 1975 for his private Pyramid label. Tolkien-inspired dark ambient soundscapes with spooky/ritualistic atmosphere, treated percussions, gongs and guitars, trippy Hammond and Mini-Moog, tape loops, weird noises, and drones...

“Two years after «Rien Faire», their first eponymous album, the trio (bass, keyboards, drums, vocals) from Lyon delivers their latest contribution to the revival of songwriting made in France. Nine small surrealist poems whose soft consonant sounds blossom through falsely naive melodies and which, in spite of their complexity, resound like so many evidences.
A pop of goldsmith coiled in a rough and noisy case considering the stripped arrangements, borrowed of roughness and of a gracious beau

It’s been fully five years since this hugely popular Hungarian symphonic rock band has had a new release and not only are they back, but they are back with a third installment (40 years later!) of their notable and much loved first release, The Martian Chronicles!
This is made up of three epics, spread over the two CDs; two exceed 20’ each and the third is nearly 40’. It has lighter sections as well as heavier parts with lots of synths, guitars, flute, cello and violin.
