Stephen O’Malley : acoustic guitar, oscillator

Orange vinyl, one-sided EP, with etching on the reverse side. Comes in clear PVC sleeve. LP is new/unplayed but due to packaging choice, may have slight surface noise. Maybe not, but that’s just how it goes with LPs packaged like this.

“A great piece of drone from Stephen O'Malley... oscillating organ with Electrics shearing through the psychedelic mist. Sounds great played back at either 45 or 33 rpm! :)”-Discogs

“Inspired drone...

“Shutting Down Here is a special work. Symbolically, it covers a period of thirty years, between two visits by Jim O'Rourke to the GRM, the first, as a young man fascinated by the institution and his repertoire, the second, as an accomplished musician, influential and imbued with an aura of mystery.
Shutting Down Here is a piece shaped like an universe, a heterogeneous world in which collides the multiple musical facets of Jim O'Rourke: instrumental writing, field recordings, electronic textures and..

Limited edition of only 500 made. The fantasy artwork of the cover of this was made for vinyl!

Greatly awaited second album from this offshoot/heir to the Happy The Man crown. The band is now a four piece, with Stan Whittaker's guitar and vocals...

“Early unreleased recordings of prog legends OCTOPUS released for the first time!
In mid-1972 Peter Hensel, Claus D. Kniemeyer, Dieter-Paul Becke and Jennifer Hensel founded the band Octopus. At this time, all members are studying or living in student residences at the University of Frankfurt am Main. Werner Littau responded to an advertisement on the bulletin board at the University of Frankfurt in autumn 1972 and became Octopus' keyboardist. "Time in my Hand" is determined by many rhythms and...

The statement of the band
“‘The roots and the journey continues’ officially comes out today. It took more than a year of work, between pandemics, restrictions and lock-downs. In the end we succeeded and we are proud to let you...

Limited numbered vinyl edition of the group’s second and most obscure album, due to it being a film soundtrack!

"Who in 1973 would have thought that the recordings on the just-released soundtrack was the genesis of one of Quebec's favorite bands as we know it? In fact, this album (one of the least promoted of Offenbach's discography dates back to 1970, when band manager Lucien Menard orchestrates their fateful meeting with poet/musician/songwriter Pierre Harel, who was also working with Menard...

Originally released on the AYAA label, this has been out of print for many, many, many years (one many for each decade). This is a perfect reproduction of the original, but better pressed this time!

A total classic from 1990, available again.

“Old and New Dreams was a legendary quartet and possibly one the most important line-up in the post-Ornette Coleman continuum! Recorded live in Atlanta in 1987 and first released in 1990, their second Black Saint release stands as the group final statement. A high-quality recording capturing an outstanding performance as...

“A Certain Darkness Is Needed to See the Stars" (38:51 min.) is an energetic, minimal, polyrhythmic composition. It was played on a single prepared drum set (with aluminium foil), without any loops or overdubs. Time and form dissolve as loops and repetitions take hold. The piece expands and contracts. It changes texture while still maintaining a steady pulsating fluidity. The listener is forced to cede control and relax into it. You never know how long any given theme will stay the same, nor what will...

“With But Remember What You Have Had, Stephen O'Malley continues and expands his musical approach by transposing it to multiphonic electroacoustic writing and acousmatic listening.
Drawing not only on his extensive experience as a composer and live instrumentalist, but also on the countless studio production and mixing sessions he has taken part in the course of his many projects (in solo, with SUNN O))) or KTL, to name but a few), Stephen O'Malley's work on this new piece is ambitious, engaging in...

This is a vinyl-only release, by a Spanish quartet, which is released in a numbered, limited edition of only 500! Really great artwork by Galician artist Iria Rodriguez.

This is very much a psychedelic-progressive/retro-styled release. Knowing...

“Onilu is an all-percussionist trio utilizing the extensive family of drummed and tuned percussion instruments to deliver beautifully composed, arranged and executed small ensemble music. Nothing about this all-percussion band feels rarified, or missing anything musical. To the contrary, Onilu create a soundworld where nothing is missing, and everything is musical -- defying the stereotype of modern percussion ensembles as esoteric or academic...

Opeth started their life as a metal band, but they have always spoken very highly of progressive rock and, over the last few years, have flirted more and more closely with the genre.

Well, years of flirtation has finally led to an exclusive....

“The Opium Cartel is songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Jacob Holm-Lupo’s vehicle for songs that exist somewhere between sophisti-pop, art-rock and synth pop. Holm-Lupo is otherwise known for his progressive rock band White Willow and more recently his instrumental giallo-rock project Telepath.
The Opium Cartel’s 3rd album, Valor, is a record about naïve but brave dreams. These are songs about the hubris and optimism of childhood and youth. That period of life where everything seems sure to happen just..

“Orang-Utan were in fact a London based band called Hunter, featuring vocalist Terry "Nobby" Clarke (of psych-pop legends Jason Crest), guitar player Mick Clarke, drummer and songwriter Jeff Seopardi, and bass player Paul Roberts.
They recorded their sole album in 1971 at DeLane Lea studios. In a bizarre twist of events, their producers/managers ran with the tapes to the US, where they placed the album on Bell Records under a new band name: Orang-Utan, without telling any of the band members....

Wendy Eisenberg – guitar
Ava Mendoza - guitar
Bill Orcutt - guitar
Shane Parish - guitar

“I first saw the quartet in San Francisco a few months before this double live LP was recorded. I was already familiar with the prowess of Eisenberg and Mendoza, two of the most technically intimidating shredders to blast out of the noise/improv underground, and knew Parish as the mastermind behind the epic translation of Orcutt's quartet recordings into a fully notated score. I was ready to be..

“In 2014, OSC assembled an amazing line up of clever and inspired musicians to have a few days of jams in the studio. Hasse (Tangle Edge) came down from Norway, Jonathan, KG, Mathias and Alex came down from Stockholm. Jonathan (Camper Van Beethoven, Sista Maj) had been playing with OSC for a while and KG (ex-Siena Root, Palace On Wheels) had joined them before in the studio. Mathias (My Brother The Wind) had also played live with OSC before (on bass) and was...

The next day they were booked into the excellent Ora Studio, one of the best in Trondheim, for a jam session. It took a few hours to set up all the gear (2 guitar set ups, 2 bass..

Not only have we never offered this 1995 release before, but I had never heard of it / never knew it existed until this brand new vinyl reissue!
It's the 1995 version of Le Orme doing new (1995 new) versions of their classics; three songs each from Collage, Uomo di Pezza, two from Smogmagica and one each from Contrappunti and Verità Nascoste! Hand numbered edition of 999 copies!

IMPORTANT NOTE: THESE COPIES ALL HAVE SMALL/MEDIUM TOP SEAM SPLITS. It is what it is.

This is a beautiful, numbered, limited edition of this classic, mastered from the original tapes on 180 gram vinyl in a beautiful gatefold sleeve.

"Collage, Le Orme's first progressive album and third overall, is a stripped-down affair with only organ, piano, bass and drums. The exception is the opening title track which could be considered the bridge between their psych and prog compositions

Important: Sadly these have a top seam split. They aren't awful, but it's there and we can't pretend it isn't there! Caveat!!

Hand numbered edition of 600 copies!
In the mid 90s, after a 10 year silence, Le Orme came out of nowhere with a new line up (2 new keyboardists + bassist/guitarist/vocalist Aldo Tagliapietra & drummer Michi Dei Rossi) and a very fine reunion album, Il Fiume.
Elementi was their follow up to that one and it's another very good release in the Italian
