“This latest project Battle Pieces combines Wooley's deft touch at extended technique with his composing skills for like players.

“Battle Pieces 4, recorded live at Brooklyn’s Roulette Intermedium in 2018 is the culmination of Wooley’s set of compositions for quartet. The group, after four years of twisting and torturing Wooley’s ever-expanding set of micro-compositions into new and ever-interesting forms, perform an evening length set that moves through the breadth of their collective history as an ensemble.”

"We can say without exaggeration that the new project by Nate Wooley introduces in the so-called “free jazz” format a system that few times – if ever – we encountered with such a relevance for the musical results since the harmolodic process proposed by Ornette Coleman. And the always surprising trumpeter is very much aware of the ground breaking possibilities of this band with the upcoming New

When Henry Cow fell apart in the summer of 1978, the main players in the band dispersed. Fred Frith left England to settle in NYC for a good number of years, getting involved the then just beginning to evolve 'downtown' sound, recording three excellent and high-profile albums for Ralph Records, forming first Massacre and then Skeleton Crew. Chris Cutler formed the Art Bears and also was an important member of Cassiber. Lindsay Cooper and Georgie Born did a lot of musical improvising and John Greaves had...

In 1983, when information on the ground was much harder to come by and I was a huge fan of The Work, this noisy, lo-fi, hissy and mostly strange collage of work by The Work was a very special thing.

“Special 2CD edition of only 500 copies made featuring the whole C90 album for the first time re-issued, remastered from the original 1982 tape. Comes in a 6 panel digi case + 2 page booklet.
Originally released as a C90 cassette in 1983, the music on this double CD uses low-fi recordings a...

"Very close to classic progressive rock, characterized by vintage sounds, The Worm Ouroborus remind us of bands such as King Crimson, Van der Graaf, Jethro Tull and the Canterbury scene, with a slight touch of craziness. Nevertheless this album...

“There is a delicacy and a passionate hardness, stripped bare of cloying sentiment. Its rawness is the exuberance of sound overflowing, basking in its self-created luxury…. It is, every bit of it, composed the same moment you hear it.”

Richard Wright’s first solo album, from 1978, which was sort of overlooked upon its original release and is really a quite nice album, if lower key than things like ‘The Wall’ would make you think...!
Remixed and then released on Wright’s 80th birthday by the kind of remixing progressive classics, Steven Wilson, who called it ‘A lost Pink Floyd record’

First release by this six piece group from Estonia.

The group consists of Jan Pövvat-baritone sax, Sander Haugas and Siim Randveer-guitars, Kaspar Aus-keyboards, Lauri Randveer-bass, Martin Tamm-drums.

The sound is modern progressive..

Very good German retro hard rock / stoner rock band featuring very strong female vocals, lots of flute and lots of heavy guitar work. Janis Joplin fronting Jethro Tull at their heaviest? Well, not really, but that's kinda the territory they are going for here!

"The second longplayer by WUCAN! With "Reap The Storm" Front woman Francis Tobolsky and their men stay true to the WUCAN sound and have even refined and intensified it: powerful intelligent rock sprinkled with folkloristic elements...

"The missing links in my life's work, no less!" – Robert Wyatt

"Cuneiform has delivered a Holy Grail with Robert Wyatt's '68 ... The sound on '68 is excellent; it was painstakingly cleaned up and remastered from original sources, making this a making this a must for any Wyatt, Soft Machine, or prog head. The booklet also contains a lengthy interview with Wyatt by Aymeric Leroy with comments from Hopper. All killer, no filler." – Thom Jurek, All Music Guide ...

Robert's 2007 album finds him on a new, very hip indie label, getting really good pre-release press and with a large cast of musical helpers: Alessandro Fedrigo - Guitar (Bass), Alfonso Santimone - Keyboards, Piano, Annie Whitehead - Horn (Baritone)...

This may be released under Ed’s name instead of being released as by Ozric Tentacles, but this is exactly what one expects from the Ozrics.

“Debut Solo Album From The Psychedelia Visionary And Founder Of The Legendary Ozric Tentacles. A visionary, a prodigal symphonist, one of the UK's leading influential musicians: Ed Wynne is undoubtedly a gifted instrumentalist. He is credited as one of the linchpins of the UK festival scene's re-emergence along with his band Ozric Tentacles, who formed at...
