“Manic No Wave sax frenzy! James White tore up the city blueprints and charted his own map through the sonic sprawl of New York, perfecting a jittery, manic attack on sax and vocals and adopting the persona of a lounge singer in the waiting room of Hell. A maelstrom of chaotic transformations of funk, jazz (et al.) with equal parts James Brown and James White originals that rank among the most incendiary in his repertoire, this album is available for the first time outside of Japan.”

"The collaboration between renowned drummer Jim White and acclaimed guitarist Marisa Anderson is a natural union of two of the most intuitive players and listeners working in music. Jim White is known for his groundbreaking trio, Dirty Three, as well as duo Xylouris White. His list of collaborations is vast and include artists such as Nick Cave, Bill Callahan, Cat Power, Marnie Stern, and Warren Ellis. Jim just released his debut solo album, All Hits: Memories. Marisa Anderson, known primarily for her...

Official CD edition from the master tapes.

A completely electronic score (c. 1968) reflecting White's impressions of the occult. Writing of “Seven Trumps From the Tarot Cards,” Donal Henahan commended White in The New York Times for her “musical inventiveness and electronic sophistication.” From Paul Eberle in the Los Angeles Free Press: “Miss White has explored electronics to find a new instrumentation of voices for her compositions, and has conceived it as an extension of the music of the...

Official CD edition from the master tapes.

“Choice classics "turned on” c. 1970 with the Moog Synthesizer and other electronics by Ruth White. Unlike White's previous albums, which featured some out-there and highly experimental original music, this time it is all cover versions of selected classical compositions. The album is still haunting in its own way. White's arrangements are often minimal, and even occasionally employ some atonal effects to give them a somewhat off-kilter vibe. Even...

"British ambient prog rock duo WHITEWATER have emerged once again this October to bring us their brand new and shiny atmoshperic album Dark Planet. Through Stuart Stephens‘ and Paul Powell‘s joint forces, the audience can hear a real expansion of the band’s soundscapes in comparison with previous releases. Dark Planet is further deepened by Mike Kershaw, who writes and sings three tracks, and Gareth Cole (Mike Kershaw Band, Fractal Mirror, The Rube Goldberg Machine, Under A Banner) who brings forth...

“If Australia has produced a classic piece of musical minimalism, [Windmill] is it.”-Graham Strahle, The Australian

"This new CD presents two of Australian composer Stephen Whittington’s stunningly beautiful string quartets: his elegant, eclectic seven-movement …from a thatched hut, which embraces, sometimes obliquely, the composer’s deep interest in Chinese poetry and his frequent travels in China, and his evocative, haunting Windmill, which draws sonic references to the small metal windmills...

Surely you already own this, one of the greatest live rock albums ever made? You don't? And here it is in a hugely expanded version, which sounds fantastic. AND IT’S NOW SO INEXPENSIVE!

"The Feb 14, 1970 Leeds show which provided The Who with their first official live album is widely regarded by collectors as not only one of the group's finest-ever shows, but one of the greatest live shows in rock history.
The original album included only 35 minutes of the 120 minute show, and was still one

Long available as a very famous and great sounding bootleg, this is better sounding and more complete than what had been previously heard and presents the band during a pre-Tommy, post-Summer Of Love, raucous peak! It's the nearly complete April 6th show. Hugely recommended to Who fans!

"Finally! There is finally an official release of The Who concert at the Fillmore East! It is long overdue, released officially a little over fifty years after the event. For Who fans this recording is a must...

The Who at the Concertgebouw, Amsterdam, The Netherlands 9/25/69.
This particular show is a of the very first rock concert in an opera-house setting, which at the time was seen as pretty scandalous. Later in 1970, they would repeat things at NY’s Metropolitan Opera House and at other opera houses throughout the world. But this was the first. It’s also a very good performance in quite excellent sound.

“Following the release of Tommy in May 1969, the Who embarked on a series of epic concerts...


The fourth album in four years by The Who and is one of the great achievements of rock in the late 60s and the album that broke the band into superstar status worldwide.
This is one of the great art-rock albums of all time and, nearly 50 years later, is still a stunning achievement; if you haven't played this one in decades, it's even better than you remember!
Absolutely recommended; this belongs in any rock collection.

“After all these years, it becomes clear that the relationship between Daltrey and Townshend -- the singer serving as the songwriter's best interpreter and editor -- is at the core of the Who, which is why Who feels like a Who album: The two still bring out the best in each other.”-AllMusic

The goal was to infuse this rich...

Benoit was the keyboardist for Magma from 1975 to 1978. Additionally, he released a few solo albums in the mid/late 70's, of which this was the first. A keyboard/Moog-dominated record that at times gets amazingly heavy in a wild screaming synthi fusion way and at other times is very wonderfully atmospheric. It is perhaps comparable in timbre and tone to Jan Hammer's best work post Mahavishnu. Some of the material is solo and some features some unbelievably great guests.

It’s now more than 50 years later and so it’s obviously time to celebrate what is my favorite album by one of the most important Scandanavian bands of the 70s!
What was originally the 1st 2 sides of the album are especially wonderful, organ-driven, song-oriented progressive, like the best of Caravan from the same period (1971). If you are a fan of this album, you need this hugely expanded version.

"The Wilde Flowers never released a record during their existence, but their influence exceeds that of many groups with lengthy discographies. The band served as the wellspring of the so-called Canterbury sound: future Soft Machine members Robert Wyatt, Kevin Ayers, and Hugh Hopper all played with the Wilde Flowers before the Soft Machine were founded, and Pye Hastings, David Sinclair, Richard Sinclair, and Richard Coughlan played in the group at various points before forming Caravan.

“UK musician Richard Wileman is probably best known for releasing 14 albums as the composer behind studio project Karda Estra.

“Karda Estra composer Richard Wileman releases his 4th solo album 'The Forked Road’.
Wileman describes the album as a 'Folk horror concept album, rooted in his home county of Wiltshire charting the encounter of a comet with Earth resulting in the undead rising and converging on The Ridgeway (an 87 mile chalk hill walk that starts at World Heritage stone circle site Avebury), all bookended by the last and first books of English magic'.
The album is written and produced by Wileman and features...

Jamison Williams - baritone saxophone

"Solo baritone saxophone recorded at Le Sauvage cathedral, Luxembourg; the place name goes back to a legend of a wild woman, who is supposed to have only eaten raw meat, had a double row of teeth, and lived under a rocky promontory, where she was buried by a landslide. In early chronicles, it is referred to as Val de la sauvage femme (French for "Valley of the wild woman")."

The event, recorded at Chicago's Elastic Arts Foundation in 2012, featured a trio with Williams on reed instruments, Darin Gray on bass, and Chris Corsano on drums. This configuration had already been highly enough estimated by Williams that he'd posted one set on Bandcamp, but he saved the other set for future release..
