“This is the "lost" second album by hard-prog band T2, featuring demos recorded at Decca Studios by the original line-up in 1970, just after the release of their debut masterpiece It'll All Work Out In Boomland (1970).
Known also as T2 and Fantasy, 1970 shows T2 at their rawest, featuring the explosive guitar of Keith Cross, the powerful drumming and cool vocals of Peter Dunton, and the fantastic bass playing of Bernie Jinks.
Hard cardboard sleeve; includes insert with liner notes and photos.”

Legitimate vinyl reissue of this rare and legendary album. TMT was led by Fluxus member Takehisa Kosugi (electric violin, harmonica, voice, etc.) with Kyo Koike (electric double bass), suntool, voice, etc.), Yukio Tsuchiya (bass-tuba, percussion), Beiji Nagai (trumpet, synthesizer Mini-Korg, timpani), Tokio Hasegaw (voice, percussion), Kinji Hayashi (electronic technique), Hirokeszu Sato (percussion, voice).

"The highly-anticipated reissue of Japanese percussionist Midori Takada's sought after and timeless ambient/minimal album Through The Looking Glass, originally released in 1983 by RCA Japan. Considered a holy grail of Japanese music by many, Through The Looking Glass is Midori Takada's first solo endeavor, a captivating four-song suite capturing her deep quests into traditional African and Asian percussive language and exploring...

“Le Renard Bleu, the new musical and cinematic collaboration between Lafawndah and composer Midori Takada, and filmmakers Partel Oliva, takes a cross-generational echo as ground zero for recovering a crucial myth for uncertain times: the blue fox. As transmitted by Takada, the fox appears in both ancient Senegalese and Japanese folktales as the trickster archetype. Above all else, the fox is famous for its cunning nature. Renard Bleu marks the first new music released by Takada in nearly twenty years...

“Famed free jazz concert registration of an early New Direction for the Art performance. Recorded in 1971. The performance by Takayanagi Masayuki New Direction for the Art at the Gen'yasai festival on August 14, 1971 was an intense, bruising collision between the radical, anti-establishment politics of the period in Japan and the febrile avant-garde music that had begun to emerge a few years before. 1962, Takayanagi, bassist Kanai Hideto and painter Kageyama Isamu went on to form an AACM-style musicians'...

“In August 1969, Masayuki Takayanagi formed his first New Direction group and embarked on an unparalleled musical journey that over the final 22 years of his life would define him as an uncompromising artist who would forge a visionary new musical language. Comprised of himself on acoustic and electric guitar and joined by Motoharu Yoshizawa on bass and Yoshisaburo "Sabu" Toyozumi on drums, Takayanagi's group created a new unconstrained form of music; It expanded on the most radical, fiery elements of...

“A real neo-krautrock album with all the typical ingredients, such as long tracks, guitar freakouts, totally kosmik effect orgies, double drumming and out of this world atmospheres. Both bands met for a concert together as one band at 20th of September 2019 in the cult club Sabotage in Portugal's capitol city Lisbon. Sadly the Sabotage has not survived the corona lockdown. Electric Moon is Germany's beloved psychedelic rockband, who played all over Europe and released so many albums. Talea Jacta is one...

"Talibam! delights in creating music that cannot be pinned down within the safe-spaces of existing genres. With each new album, Talibam! reinvent their methodological palette in order to bolster a fresh clarity of joyous auditory surprise, something their fans have come to depend on. Talibam! focus on compositional clarity, with reverence for their diverse interest in genre. On Hard Vibe, they push the pulse of motorik rhythm through a psychedelic jazz filter. This time out, they have created a sonic...

"Acclaimed British progressive rock band The Tangent has announced the release of “Auto Reconnaissance,” the group’s eleventh studio album. “Auto Reconnaissance” includes the same line-up that made the preceding album, “Proxy”.
“Auto Reconnaissance” is stylistically highly varied with three songs described as being very pop-centric, dotted around an album which has a 28-minute long Progressive Epic titled “Lie Back & Think Of England,” filled with abundant twists and turns, and a 16-minute fusion...

“After an eventful year of touring throughout their native Australia - including runs with labelmates MONO and likeminded pioneers Tortoise - and featuring alongside the work of artist David Hockney at the National Gallery of Victoria, post-everything quintet Tangents return with another album, and another stylistic detour. New Bodies continues Tangents' rummage through countless varieties of electronics, rock, dub, noise, and free improv jazz that defines the group's acclaimed aesthetic. The spacious...

Back in stock and at a greatly improved / reduced price! If you didn't snab this before, you should now!
This vinyl-only release is the first new music from this great, legendary psych band in a while. When Tangle Edge first emerged - seemingly out of nowhere - and, being located in the far northern reaches of Norway, inside the arctic circle, one could actually say from out of nowhere(!) - with their first album in 1988, they were seen as the band who would simultaneously save progressive rock and...

“This previously unreleased album by the Horace Tapscott Quintet was unearthed from master tapes in the Flying Dutchman archives. Recorded in 1969 and was intended to be a follow-up album to the classic 'The Giant Is Awakened' which was released that year.
The iconic pianist and composer Horace Tapscott was one of the most unique and important figures in LA’s jazz worl

“A crucial document from the Los Angeles jazz underground. Live At I.U.C.C. sees the Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra at their most together, stretching out on home turf in 1979, with the legendary Horace Tapscott at the helm. Tapscott is one of the unsung giants of jazz; a gifted composer and arranger, a boldly original pianist, and above all a visionary bandleader, Tapscott's recorded footprint is small, but his legacy continues to vibrate through the Los Angeles music underground. From Freestyle...

“Tasavallan Presidentti were, together with Wigwam, the pioneers of the Finnish progressive rock movement. Svart Records have an ongoing archive project with the band, the first fruit of which was the Live in Lambertland record in 2019, now sold out. Next in the series is the live compilation Changing Times and Movements. Whereas Live in Lambertland was a full live set with the band’s latter day vocalist Eero Raittinen, this double album is a documentary of Tasavallan Presidentti’s early years with...

“In 1973 progressive rock group Tasavallan Presidentti's career was going forward on a high note: the band had in 1972 released the critically acclaimed album Lambertland with their new vocalist Eero Raittinen, and the following year the band embarked on a successful UK tour.
In 1974 things would take a downward turn which ended in the band splitting up, but what this compilation offers you is a snapshot of the year 1973 when everything still seemed possible. The band were returning home from the...

“Released in 1983 on a miniscule run of 300-self- financed LP’s, Dennis Taylor’s ‘Dayspring’ remains a lost masterwork of transcendental instrumental guitar.
An important missing link between the 60’s folk- loric experimentalism of John Fahey and Robbie Basho, and the new age atmospherics mined by William Ackerman and Michael Hedges in the early 80’s.
Though Taylor’s guitar playing remains crisply unadorned on these 10 tracks, his technique and his compositions stretch beyond the folk roots.”

Mike Taylor was a very early, avant-garde/Brit-jazz pianist and composer who is barely remembered at all for his two incredibly rare albums (this, recorded in the fall of 1965, is the first of the two and probably the better of the two, but both are good).
If he is remembered at all, it is for co-writing 3 songs on Wheels of Fire with Ginger Baker (three good ones too!: Passing the Time, Those

Mike Taylor was a very early, avant-garde/Brit-jazz pianist and composer who is barely remembered at all for his two incredibly rare albums (this, recorded in the summer of 1966, is the last of the two).
This is the first-ever vinyl reissue of this album, out of print for almost six decades, it features great players who were dilligent and tuned into Mike’s unique vision! An ESSENTIAL release for Brit..

This is the third studio release from one of the best Rock Progressivo Italiano bands currently out there at this time and the band is made even better by having on board ace-drummer Mattias Olsson behind the kit!

"As the preceding album, also in this case the title is a word game. The union of latin verb "ludere", that means 'the act of playing', with the italian article "il" generates a dualism between "il giocare" (the act of playing) and the verb "illudere", that means 'to deceive' or...

This excellent Brazilian release was described to me as "the Brazilian Gentle Giant", which led me a little bit astray the first time I popped it in, as I was expecting 4 part vocals. They don't do that, but there is a lot of musical busy-ness and activity, counterpoint and interlocking parts, which are reminscent of Giant a little bit.
But, I think what my friend was trying to convey to me was the high level of musicianship and intricacy, which is something that they DO share with GG. And sometimes..

“New Jersey based prog rock outfit Thank You Scientist have emerged from the pandemic with some big news to share. Enter Flying Jangus Records—the official record label founded by Thank You Scientist.
Today, Thank You Scientist shares the first single from Plague Accommodations, “Soul Diver.” On the latest release, Metal Injection writes, “it’s as flamboyantly fun yet intricate as anything else they’ve done, with their trademark soaring hooks, temperamental change-ups, and varied instrumentation...

"The meeting of three expatriate Hungarian musicians who had been touring with the Hungarian Philharmonic when they jumped ship and stayed in Germany, with three German musicians. An appealing 1973-styled blend of progressive rock with classical, jazzy and folky influences. Lots of classical pretensions and influences, with lots of flute. Vocals, flute, guitars, violin/viola/piano/organ, bass and drums. They shortly afterwards went on to work with Louis Hardin aka Moondog (!), but there doesn't seem to...

Glen Sweeney – hand drums
Paul Minns – oboe
Richard Coff – violin
Ursula Smith – cello

T he Third Ear Band were a late 60's/mid 70's quartet who were fixtures at ALL the festivals & who used hand drums, oboe, violin/viola & cello to make a mostly improvised, dark, pagan & medieval-influenced, acoustic music that sounded like no one but themselves. The only thing that comes close to their sound is some small bits of the early Univers Zero records.
They called themselves "electri

”Recorded from 1979–1980 Repeat / Metal is essentially This Heat’s third proper album, although it was released posthumously in 1993. Arguably their most radical work, Repeat / Metal features side-length tape experiments ranging from the dubby drum loops of “Repeat,” a 20 minute edit / reworking of their landmark piece “24 Track Loop” to the gamelan-inspired sounds of “Metal,” an electro-acoustic work recorded outside of their studio, Cold Storage, and helmed by member Gareth Williams.”

Excellent first album by this Australian post-punk ensemble! First-time vinyl reissue since its initial release in 1983.

"In the fertile terrain of New Zealand’s 1980s post-punk scene, few figures loom as large as the Jefferies brothers. Graeme Jefferies and Peter Jefferies—the primary forces behind This Kind Of Punishment—wrote some of the best music to come out on Flying Nun, Xpressway or elsewhere. A dizzying mix of pastoral ballads and DIY experimentation, TKP’s songwriting was at once...
