"Crepuscular Hour is an epic, hypnotic one-hour piece for three choirs, three pairs of noise musicians, and church organ, to be performed in a cathedral or similar location with musicians surrounding the audience. The room fills with sound in an intense, but almost meditative hour, as the voices blend with the distortion, the noise sometimes takes over, and the organ eventually takes the music to a new level. The visual design of this concert is a play on the crepuscular rays -- rays of sunlight that...

This show from the Bataclan in Paris is quite famous as it was the 1st time that these 3 original members of the Velvet Underground were on stage together since Nico (and then Cale) left the Velvets.
Now I am not a huge Reed fan, but I love Cale...

The Resident's 1980 album "The Commercial Album" was, for me, their last great hurrah. The concept was to make 40 songs of exactly ONE MINUTE in length. This DVD takes the original album and presents it in Surround sound. If you are of a certain age...

“Presented from the point of view of Mister X, the quintessential unreliable narrator, God in 3 Persons relates the story of his involvement with a pair of conjoined twin faith healers. As the increasingly improbable story unfolds, ending with Mister X's destruction of the mysterious Holy Union, the audience never knows how much of the dubious tale is fact, fiction or the fading reminisces of an aging Lothario. Operatic in its vision and profound in its implications, God in 3 Persons examines the...

Available again and at a lower price, this is the only Residents DVD that anyone other than a hard-core fan need ever own (unless they suddenly turn around 25 years of decay and become great again). This collects most of (& ALL the best of) The Residen...

"Tenor saxophone master Sonny Rollins has long been hailed as one of the most important artists in jazz history, and still, today, he is viewed as the greatest living jazz improviser. In 1986, filmmaker Robert Mugge produced SAXOPHONE COLOSSUS, a feature-length portrait of Rollins, named after one of his most celebrated albums. The project began in May of that year when Mugge and a small crew accompanied Sonny and Lucille Rollins to Tokyo, Japan where the Yomiuri Nippon Symphony Orchestra premiered his...

“During the first half of the 1970s, a number of West German musicians escaped the traditional rock influences of British and American bands and created a new way of making rock music. This movement, which involved a whole family of psychedelic, electronic, jazz, folk & rock styles without mainstream radio influence, came to be known as Krautrock. The Krautrock bands that pioneered this movement created something never heard before: They took the intense, untamed essence of the old gods of rock and roll...

A very, very long time ago, when I was in High School, I was a big fan of Todd Rundgren, discovering his classic albums "A Wizard, A True Star", "Something/Anything" and "Todd" all of which were a exciting and definitely very '70s' blend of pop perfection and experimentation. Which actually sums up Todd's charms in a nutshell.
In 2010, 37 years after the original 1973 release, Rundgren performed "Todd" live in its entirety for the first time ever. Joining him onstage were Utopia's Kasim Sulton...

"“If, like me, you were one of those folks who snapped up each Utopia album on release day.... If you brought each of those albums home, tore off the shrink wrap and spent the next few days blissfully immersed in the Persistence Of Vision emanating from those groovy vinyl waffles.... Then just put this in your cart and go immediately to checkout. Prepare to be enthralled.
This concert, from May 22, 2018 in Chicago, is a feast for the eyes and ears. The band covers each and every era of its...
