After a dozen years as one of Europe’s most acclaimed jazz ensembles, I.P.A. is still discovering mesmerizing new sonic territory. Born out of a deep dive into the music of pioneering trumpeter/composer Don Cherry, the group has firmly established its own sound and identity.

This is a beautiful, numbered, limited edition of 889 copies of this classic, which is Volume 8 of the Prog Rock Italia series - mastered from the original tapes on 180 gram vinyl in a beautiful sleeve.

"The eponymous, last album by the Genoese band, closes a short-lived but exciting artistic journey which leads some of the original New Trolls musicians, Nico Di Palo in particular, towards paths parallel to the ones of their previous group.
Born after the NT's split in 1973, Ibis released...

Dan Bitney - drums
Steve Marquette - guitar
Nick Macri - electric bass

Very limited edition of only 100, hand-numbered copies pressed! One side more free/out rock and the other side more disquietly ambient rumbling.
“Heady aquatic brews from Ibises, made of Chicago heavyweights Nick Macri (Stirrup, Euphone) on bass, Dan Bitney (Tortoise. Isotope 217) on drums, and Steve Marquette (Ken Vandermark's Marker) on guitar. In The Swim comes from an improvised concert by the trio, mixed...

Armando Battiston – Fender Rhodes, Hammond C3 organ, keyboards
Andrea Centazzo – drums, percussion, electronics, vocals
Franco Feruglio – double bass and electric bass
This is a very rare and very good somewhat avant-leaning jazz/rock album from 1974, that was originally released on the PDU label.
Comparable to Et Cetera, Soft Machine, Travelling, Arkham, etc.

"Agartha, the debut full-length album by Japanese producer Wata Igarashi, is a mysterious, divine thing. Named for the mythical secret kingdom, understood as a complex maze of underground tunnels, perhaps designed by Martians who colonised the Earth tens of thousands of years ago, it’s a similarly mystical, perhaps even cosmic trip – but this time, exploring an inner, deeply personal cosmos. Beautifully detailed and bustling with rich incident, it takes Igarashi’s music to new places, which still...

"Manchester-based Factory Records set up a US office in the early '80s.
In typical Factory styles, they allocated catalogue number FACT A to a 1981 gig with New Order and Ike Yard in NYC.
FACT A SECOND would be Factory America's debut release, Ike Yard's self-titled LP."

“Ike Yard remain a legendary band of early '80s New York City - at once immensely influential, yet obscured by a far-too-brief initial phase. Their debut EP, the dark and absorbing Night After Night, sounds almost like a

"In the mid-1970s, Parisian composer and multi-instrumentalist Thierry M�ller began operating primarily under the Ilitch moniker. Juxtaposing dark, electronic soundscapes and solo guitar improvisations, Ilitch created some of the most enduring music of the era. It comes as no surprise that Nurse With Wound included M�ller on their famed list of influential avant-garde artists.

Originally released on Oxygene Records in 1978, Ilitch's debut Periodikmindtrouble was a shot across the bow for the...

“The much-anticipated official reissue of Japanese duo Inoyamaland's quintessential ambient/environmental/electronic album Danzindan-Pojidon, produced by Haruomi Hosono and originally released in 1983 on his Yen Records label. Available outside of Japan for the first time, the new age classic comes as a limited LP with liner notes by band member Makoto Inoue. With Danzindan-Pojidon, Yasushi Yamashita and Makoto Inoue created what they describe as "a special place where the kingdom of summer vacation...

An unbelievably odd album for 1968...

“Intersystems occupied a difficult-to-reach critical nook between the many tropes that had established to frame the various artistic trends of 1960s. Announcing itself with a quivering beam of fluorescent sound, the beginning of Intersystems' Free Psychedelic Poster Inside feels as though it's slowly piercing right through your frontal lobe. Blake Parker's poetry is a dark glimpse into mundane domesticity and the suburbs. One can't help but sense that...

Double aquamarine vinyl in gatefold sleeve.

“After a few years away from IQ, Ever brought lead singer Peter Nicholls back into the fold for this 1993 release. The Genesis influences are still very strong and in fact this album gives a superficial idea of what Genesis might have sounded like if Gabriel had continued.
Often considered both IQ's best work and one of the finest neo-prog albums, it is highly recommended to anyone lacking some original neo-prog sounds in their collection.”

“French rock outfit Irnini Mons approach post-punk in an oblique and candid way. With the intent of contributing to the relevancy of modern guitar-based music, they put their four personas at work since 2021 to craft a mixed, diverse solution of indie, progressive, pop and grungy rock.

"Ishikawa Akira & Count Buffalo's Uganda: Afurikan Rokku no Yoake originally saw the light of day on February 5th, 1972 on Toshiba Records as part of their '4 Channel Q.M. Sound' series but quickly sank into the depths obscurity, making that only a handful of copies were actually sold while the remaining stock was withdrawn due to very depressing sales and eventually melted down and destroyed. The disc remained a well kept secret for all these years and only a small circle of die-hard music lovers have...

"Itiberê Zwarg Orquestra Família make universal music. This family has fallen from the sky. Their music is excellent, a treasure chest full of harmonic, rhythmic and melodic jewels. The name Itiberê Zwarg Orquestra Família exists because they are a family, united by music and the father they share in Itiberê. His children of sound play better than adults. This was exactly the time for a sound like this to appear. I, Hermeto Pascoal, do not mess around, music is my religion. That's why I say this....
