This is a beautiful reproduction of the strikingly amazing-looking first edition of the first Faust album. A clear disc inside a clear sleeve with a silkscreen, as well as a clear insert with print! Nothing like this was ever seen before Faust did it; as a English friend of a friend once said when talking about iconic avant-garde releases, "Faust was FIRST, mate!"

"Faust's new album Fresh Air differs in several respects from its predecessor, Just Us. The recordings were made at Jean-Hervé Péron's rehearsal studio in Schiphorst in northern Germany, hypnotic pieces with the kind of noisemaking the band is known for. For the new album, Péron and Werner "Zappi" Diermaier were looking for communication with musician friends and the audience. The tracks were recorded in changing ensembles at changing locations in the USA (during a tour in 2016). In these community....

“Originally part of 2021's Faust Box Set release commemorating the bands 50th anniversary Momentaufnahme I and II are now set for their own standalone release by popular demand. This is for all those that missed out on the limited-edition box set release. They collect together music recorded at the band's studio -- a converted schoolhouse in rural Wümme between 1971 and 1974 in a similar vein to the way in which The Faust Tapes (released in 1973) was assembled. These two albums range from minimal...

The good: This is great stuff!
The bad: They go out of their way to hide the fact that this material has been out before on the records ‘Munic & Elsewhere’, ‘The Last LP’ ‘BBC Sessions +’ and the double CD version of ‘Faust IV’.
If you own these, you own this material. If you don’t own these, these are well worth picking up!

"At last, a well made film that captures the intensity, caprice, craziness and visionary beauty of Faust’s late ’90s performances, when, for a moment the core members of the original band were temporarily reconciled. Professionally filmed at the...

“For the first time ever this lost "last" album recording, Punkt gets a deserved and necessary standalone release.”

"The band called it 5½, fans referred to it as the 'Munich album' and for almost fifty years it's been the missing chapter in Faustian mythology. Now for the first time, the German iconoclasts' previously unreleased fifth album sees the light of day as Punkt . . . Punkt is Faust at their most unhindered, untethered and unstoppable.
Returning to Germany after a loss-making U.K...

The classic 2nd album by Faust. This one seems to get lost in all the praise heaped on the one that came before it (their s/t debut) and the one that came after (Faust Tapes), but this is one of my very favorites by them. There seems to be a little less obvious studio muckery and the songs themselves and the musical performances get more of a chance to shine though - and they do shine. As the man in England who owns the label would say, "recommended!"

Faust are a rightly legendary experimental German ensemble from the early 1970's. This was their 3rd release, & was assembled from private tapes of the band, & shows them at their most spontaneous, & least rehearsed. One of the great ones, & is...

“On August 4, 2018 in the scorching Berlin sunshine, Faust performed a truly stunning and unique set, featuring iconic material rarely, if ever, performed live. What made this so special was hearing such pieces as "Why Don't You Eat Carrots?" played live, with the small choir perfecting that part of the song. For those lucky enough to have been there, they witnessed a Faust show never seen before, or ever to be repeated.
This CD was recorded on a professional digital recorder (not a phone). It has...

"Like Dschinn, My Solid Ground and Haze, Frame were among those early Bacillus signings and dissapeared after one promising album. Frame of Mind was recorded with Peter Hauke in the Dierks studio (have you ever wondered how they managed to produce such a great bunch of albums?). Frame's sound was quite refined and lyrical - melodic heavy progressive rock influenced by folk and classical music. Instrumentally, it was centered around a confident and forceful Hammond organ. This very appealing album had a...

This features his bass work, something that he hasn't done in a very, very long time, & is a eerie, evil album influenced by Magma & dark electronic music. [Spalax]

'The best Pinhas release since the glory days of Heldon's Standby. Incendiary, musicially consistent, cohesive...one of the most powerful, dynamic & totally mind blowing releases you'll hear in 1999.''-Andy G./C&D.

“Gäa from the German state of Saarland have become quite known in collectors’ circles thanks to their LP "Auf der Bahn zum Uranus" from 1974.
In early 1975 they recorded three tracks for a unfinished second album. These tracks [over 20’] are simply brilliant and show how mature and inventive the band was at that time. The tracks have been rediscovered only recently and form the heart a

"Galaxy from Bremen played a keyboard-dominated sort of art-rock. There are people who have called them 'the better Eloy', which is not quite unfounded. Although there were bands they admired, like Yes and Jethro Tull, they wanted to develop a style of their own. Founded in 1976, when the time came in 1979 to begin university studies, they wanted to document their 3 years of work, and they recorded this, their one and only album. "There were enough good original compositions at their disposal. Given the...

“'The Melting Butter Sessions' was originally an Ax Genrich 2019 self-released CD release that now finds its way through the vinyl thanks to Clostridium Records.
The vinyl LP contains 4 (out of 5 on CD) long tracks, 2 on each side of the album. In case the name of Ax Genrich doesn't say nothing to you let's refresh your memory with a piece from Ax's profile in Discogs:
Rock'n'roll guitarist who went all experimental after getting involved in the primordial Krautrock scene, briefly with....

A very well known German underground album, which is most famous for the circumstances of its recording in a 'bunker-like' environment. Includes 3 non-lp bonus tracks.

"During the summer of 1972, best remembered for the bloodshed of the Munich...

Brand new, ultimate Garden Of Delight reissue of this classic, early German prog album from 1971, originally released on BASF. Pretty much universally agreed upon as a must-own classic!

"Here's a long time krautrock classic. Gila impress us with a dynamic, intense and imaginative communication between spacey rock improvisations, lengthy psych guitar solos accompanied by luminous electric organ chords. "Agression" is a cosmic krautrock jamming, strictly instrumental (as the rest of the album)...

Gila released only 2 albums in their short lifetime; their s/t 1st aka Free Electric Sound and Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee.
This is a extraordinarily valuable archival release of an excellent quality, previously unreleased, live '72 concert by the original line up of Gila, & featuring all previously unheard material in the style of their excellent, freaky, psychedelic first

This great, unknown album comes screaming at you with the most 1980s punk cover ever imagined, but the music is very much something else.

“A little-known experimental rock & new-wave band from Salzburg, Austria. They were formed in 1977 and went through various minor name changes.
This, their 1980 LP debut is a must for obscure Krautrock collectors, as it has the daring of Can mixed with Bavarian style Kraut-fusion flair and a proto new-wave edginess that makes it really engaging...

A concert retrospective of their best work, & their final performance together. Heiner & Alfred's music is quite unique & very European. [Victo]

"Epic early to mid-1970's instrumental psychedelic space-rock from the Pyramid Records archive, said to be pseudonymous after-hours studio sessions featuring the biggest names on the Krautrock scene at the time; heavy drums, jamming guitars and...

Three albums on 2 CDs
“The debut album by Cologne-based psychedelic rock band Gomorrha was released in 1970 on the Cornet label, which was distributed by BASF. However, the band rejected the original German-language version and re-recorded the album with English lyrics and a new singer, Peter Otten. It was released in 1971 A year later, it released under the title Trauma. In 1972, I Turned to See Whose Voice It Was followed on Brain.
Gomorrha was one of the first bands championed and produced...

This title has been out of print forever and we were lucky to find a very small quantity. Please note that these have a tiny 'promotional copy' sticker on the UPC code. Otherwise, new and perfect.
