“Disc 1 contains all hits from the classic years (1972-83) and the unreleased track 'Natural Wonder' from the original line-up.
Disc 2 has Graham Gouldman performing versions of some of the many hits he wrote for other artists, 5 tracks from the 2006 collaboration between Graham and Kevin Godley and finally 7 unreleased live tracks from 10cc in 2010.”

“Natural Wonder is a recording for a tv cosmetics commercial but it has the distinct echoey piano sound you hear on Sheet Music. The album is..

“The highly collectable and legendary 1972 self-titled album by 9.30 Fly.
Formed in Cheltenham in 1971, 9.30 were a highly original band who took in folk and progressive influences in their work. The line-up featured Michael Wainwright (vocals), Barbara Wainwright (vocals, keyboards), Lyn Oakey (guitar), Gary Charman (bass) and Mike Clark (drums).
Released on the Ember label in 1972, "9.30 Fly" is legendary for the originality of the music within and also for it's great rarity. Although the...

“Comprehending the vastness of music's evolution over almost a century, even in terms of jazz and world music alone, can be pretty mind-blowing - yet New York-based guitarist/composer Rez Abbasi spans that arc with an original release of quintet music based on 'A Throw of Dice (A Romance of India)', a vintage black-and-white Indian-German silent film from 1929.
'A Throw of Dice' is Abbasi's 13th release and his first film score. It features his group - The Silent Ensemble with saxophonist/flautist...

“4th full length opus from California's genius multi-instrumentalist Leila Abdul-Rauf. "Phantasiai", in Hellenistic philosophy, are our impressions, the ways in which the world is represented through our senses, preceding actual thoughts. This is where music-making lies; in the space between senses and thoughts, having the power to express where words fall short. This new album is comprised of two suites, each containing four movements, composed almost entirely from modulated live trumpet, glockenspiel...

The first release by a band with a lot of (changing) members and a lot of records.
To call them a noise band is really over-simplifying what they do. This is structured rock music designed for expandable amounts of people; so it’s relatively simple in structure but also rigorous. And also very rock. In these ways, it’s not dissimilar to Glenn Branca’s ensemble.
Anyway, don’t be scared by the ‘noise’ word; we’ve sold you much noisier things than this album...

Pepper Adams - baritone saxophone
Tommy Banks - piano
Bobby Cairns - bass
Tom Doran - drums

“ The eighth historical release from archival imprint Real to Reel Records is an unreleased concert recording from baritone saxophonist Pepper Adams with the Tommy Banks Trio. Adams is best known for his work with John Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Lee Morgan, Donald Byrd and countless other jazz legends. The 100-minute performance was recorded on September 25th, 1972 at the University of Alberta.

“It's been ten years since King Sunny Ade last released a studio album, so this is a welcome return for Nigeria's finest, backed up by a vigorous young band on a double-CD set that gives him plenty of time to stretch out. There might not be too many tracks, but that's because they all receive plenty of air, especially the half-hour-plus of "Baba Mo Tunde," which takes wing halfway through and soars like a Grateful Dead jam for the remaining 15 minutes.
The production is lovingly crisp, with the...

This is a collection of most of the 1984 album “Glass Tube”, which was After Dinner’s first album + some other stuff, plus 30’ of live material by this Japanese new music rock band, who predated the current huge interest in all things "Japan".
Characterized by leader Haco's vocals, this is subtly detailed, almost pastel, progressive Japanese music; they don’t sound like ANYBODY else!

“Can't say I've heard anything quite like this. Truly awesome in its presentation, it's hard not to want to...

"Music doesn’t get much closer to the edge than this." – Alternative Press

"...remarkably tight, with the ability to turn complicated and seemingly unrelated phrases on a dime." – NPR

"Formerly a trio the band...has pared down to a duo...The new sound…has…a much greater emphasis on ragged, high-tempo garage prog brutality and spine-chilling soundscapes." – DownBeat ...

“Psych rock, electro noise-folk, ethereal ballads. Amazing vocals, excellent production and incredibly positive energy floating towards the listener. Magical.”

“7th album from Brooklyn trio explores tribal folk indie rock with a primal industrial bent; drone-chord sing-alongs in devolving psychedelic whirls; floating ethnic desert chants with dreamy verses over metal-stick percussion; beautifully echoic, hauntingly celestial folk-pop; attack-mode, shield-shaking world music rock; darkly...

"Norwegian jazz is as vital as ever and one can but wonder where it all comes from. With Night Owl, their second album for Rune Grammofon, Eyolf Dale and André Roligheten are already five albums into their career and showing a maturity in writing and playing that betrays their age considerably. Their previous album, Tree House with Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, also showed that they can write for a large ensemble, this being a commissioned work from Molde International Jazz Festival in 2013. Night Owl was...

Christian Muela: didjeridoo & FX live set
Roberto Bellatalla: double bass, bells
Ivan Macera: drums, percussion

“The Rome based free jazz trio Primitive Field, began life as a duo of didgeridoo player Christian Muela and drummer Ivan Macer; bassist Roberto Bellatalla joined a couple of years ago to form the trio. Since then they have performed extensively in clubs in and out of Rome and in March 2017 they recorded this album in Groovefarm Studio, Rome.
The trio makes use of...

Algernon are one of Chicago's fastest rising young bands. They have a great post-rock/avant-progressive/modern progressive, instrumental sound. They feature a unique line-up of dual guitars, vibes, bass and drums. The band is led by guitarist and composer Dave Miller. The other members of Algernon are second guitarist Toby Summerfield (who also was a member of Larval for many years), vibes player Katie Wiegman, bassist Tom Perona, and drummer Cory Healey. Miller formed Agernon as a way to combine a large...

“Alog are duo Espen Sommer Eide and Dag-Are Haugan, and this is their fourth full-length release for the Rune Grammofon label. Since forming in 1997, Alog have been among Norway's leading performers of experimental electronic music. They are mainstays at Rune Grammofon and have been with the label since their debut album Red Shift Swing was released in 1999. Already a mature and original collection, their sound has since been developed through their second album, Duck-Rabbit (2001), and almost perfected...

“Alog are Norwegian duo Espen Sommer Eide and Dag-Are Haugan. Alog have been with Rune Grammofon since their debut album Red Shift Swing was released in 1999. Already a mature and original collection, their sound has since been perfected through their second album, Duck-Rabbit, and concert activities before arriving with Miniatures, their third and in Rune Grammofon's view, best and most consistent album.
The title is inspired by Turkish miniature paintings, where the rules are as follows: no...

"Presenting a new collaboration featuring Oren Ambarchi on guitar, the electronics of Robin Fox, and both performing on various other instruments. The music on this album came about as the result of the two being asked to co-compose the soundtrack for a new production by renowned Australian contemporary dance company Chunky Move for their Connected production.
'Chunky Move's artistic director Gideon Obarzanek was drawn to the organic and deeply musical qualities of Ambarchi's work and the digital...

“Ambitious, grand and by any measure, beautiful; it’s tempting to simply and sincerely soak in the atmosphere of “Titan’s Island,” the second full-length album from Ancient Ocean, the long running ambient project of NYC-via-Kentucky resident J.R. Bohannon. The album unearths the intense process mending the worlds of modern classical, expansive sound art, minimalism, and the usual micro-guitar and synth exploration we’ve come to expect from Bohannon.
The four songs that make up the album may be.....

"File under "Yes." When this version of the band couldn't obtain rights to the name, they put their album out under their combined names, but it's still Yes by any other name. Jon Anderson's tenor wails through spacy lyrics, Rick Wakeman constructs cathedrals of synthesized sound, Steve Howe rips high-pitched guitar leads, and Bill Bruford makes his drums sound like timpani..."-AllMusic

"Another extraordinary release by Sardinian virtuoso Paolo Angeli, this time featuring compositions by Fred Frith and Bjork – all played solo in real time (though when you hear it, it’s hard to believe it) on his highly customised and extended, electrified, giant Sardinian folk guitar. A tour de force of technique and at the same time highly musical; and there is so much going on here at any given time that it is difficult to relate what your ears tell you to just one Frankenstein instrument. Dense...

“Great compilation of BBC sessions with good quality, happy to find this.”-DG Truby

“For a period in the mid-1960s, The Animals were untouchable. While they may have shared some of the same US influences as their British Invasion contemporaries, the Eric Burdon-led group set themselves apart almost from day one, thanks to their organ-heavy rework of the blues standard The House of the Rising Sun.
Hitting No.1 in both the US and the UK in 1964, The Animals' breakthrough single ushered in an...

“They made one of the rarest albums of the psychedelic era (a copy recently sold on eBay for just under £4,000), while their two singles included one of the genre's most enduring surrender-to-the-void creations in the much-compiled 'The Otherside'.
Nevertheless, so little information has ever surfaced about Apple that UK underground rock guide book Galactic Ramble described them as "probably the only legendary UK psych band still shrouded in mystery".
Finally, however, we have some kind of...

For fans of early / mid 70s jazz/electric jazz, this set represents the best bargain in our entire inventory. Hugely recommended!
Horacee is a drummer and bandleader who released these two fine albums in the early 70s. Both are minor classics, imo and are presented here in complete form!
Tribes was originally released in 1972 and the first of his albums on Columbia. This is a very good album, although it should be mentioned that unlike his second release, Tales of the Exonerated Flea, this is more..

“Clarence Ashley was born on 29 September 1895 in Bristol, Tennessee. He learnt to play banjo beginning at age 8, his mother and aunts teaching him Appalachian folk songs and ballads. In 1911, at age 16, he joined a travelling medicine show, playing banjo and guitar where he travelled the South acquiring a vast repertoire of songs in the process. His solo banjo work and vocals are so stark and bare, there’s no doubt he lived every word and note. There’s also full band recordings. The set also features...
