Vindicta II
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 300 copies.* After one year from the first chapter, Uncodified (feat. Corrado Altieri of Candor Chasma, Monosonik, etc.) and Wertham (feat. Marco Deplano of Caligula031 and Foresta di Ferro) return with the second chapter of the “Vindicta” trilogy , once again focusing on Sardinian criminal history and culture.
The sound slightly turned into more constructed high voltage power electronics, with stronger industrial structures and pulsating bass frequencies that do…
Adamant Orgon Ritual
A negative and oppressive album characterized by dark, obsessive and morbid atmospheres. Handle with care the stream of orgon energy spawned by Uncodified & Satanismo Calibro 9 during this typhonian Adamant Ritual. Darkness !
X Post Industriale / Rituals 2015 e.v.
*In process of stocking* On October 31 2015 "MZ.412" and "Trepaneringsritualen" performed two memorable "Rituals" at OEC's label festival the "X Congresso Post Industriale" at Club Kindergarten in Bologna - Italy. Those sounds were fixed into solid and heavy vinyl. Finally here comes the double CD re-edition in 6 panels digipak.
Magick Knives
Magick Knives channel desert night into sound: cinematic post‑punk steeped in gothic rock, darkwave and shimmered synths, where hypnotic bass, spectral guitars and whispered occult glamour coil into slow‑burn rituals.
Zagara
A killer bit of jazz rock from early 70s Germany – an album that should have been right at home on the MPS label, given the sorts of all-star talents in the group! The set was produced by mighty drummer Klaus Weiss – who's at his soulful best here, able to kick things when needed, but not with as jamming a sound as on his more over the top 70s efforts – which is perfect, as the album's got loads of sweet, subtle colors from Ferdinand Povel and Leszek Zadlo on flutes, plus great electric and acou…
Sündenfall II
2019 restock. Sündenfall II from the Kevelaer area at the Lower Rhine played a mixture of folk and jazz. While their predecessors, Sündenfall, exclusively dedicated themselves to jazz, the group included folk after a change in line-up and band name (following the example of Amon Duul II). In 1972, Hubert Schmitz invited the band into his Trepitia film and sound studio in Alpen-Druept for free recordings, as he wanted to test the newly installed equipment after a recent move into the new location…
Auf Der Bahn Zum Uranus
With deluxe four-page insert. Limited to 1000 hand numbered Picture Discs. Top sound quality. Nobody liked it at the time. Alfred Kersten, owner of the Kerston label, had discovered Gäa at one of their early gigs in the Saarland and promised them a record. By the time the band arrived at his Stuttgart studio in the summer of 1973 - with almost no money, camping in tents outside the building for days until Kersten relented - his enthusiasm had curdled into obligation. The sessions were rushed. No…
Cluster
*Edition with 20 pages booklet* One of the earliest German private pressings, from 1969, and one of the most sought-after collectors’ items. Three masters on their instruments. Trikolon is a very gifted trio from Osnabrück. As precursor of Tetragon, they played a very varied and strongly influenced progressive rock. They were influenced by classic and sometimes by blues. Their only LP "Cluster" was already released in 1969. It was edited by themselves in a number of 150 copies. Thus, it had been…
Revelation
Virus, from the Bielefeld area in Westphalia, were the best and most famous local progressive group there in the early seventies. In 1970, they won the well-known competition in the Recklinghausen Vestlandhalle – still under their old name of Man’s World. The first prize: Recordings for their first own LP, under the direction of sound magician Conny Plank. That LP, “Revelation”, was released in 1971 and is partly reminiscent of the early Pink Floyd, e. g. in the final part of “Endless game”. The…
Missus Beastly
Missus Beastly had formed in Herford in 1968 under the name Psychotic Reaction - lifted from the Count Five song - before settling on a name borrowed from a doll on a German children's television programme. Lutz Oldemeier on drums, Reinhard "Atzen" Wehmeyer on guitar and vocals, Wolfgang Nickel on keyboards, and Petja Hofman on bass had been playing the southern German circuit - Mainz, Munich - to crowds that responded to their unstructured, hour-long improvisations with something approaching de…
Missus Beastly 1974
Missus Beastly regroups and blasts into some very dynamic fusion territory with this exceptional album. The usual apparitions of the house-hold names of the mid-seventies jazz apologists can be traced here, but the eventual output will always sound only as original as Missus Beastly. One of the biggest strengths these guys possesed was their vibrant rhytm section, from the opening track i can make a parallel to Passport's or Embryo's more dynamic tracks, wherein Curt Cress/ Christian Burc…
Dr. Aftershave And The Mixed Pickles
The artist name and album title are swapped. The back cover states: "produced by Dr. Aftershave And The Mixed-Pickles" and "this record is dedicated to Missus Beastly." A label contractual dispute with Telefunken required that Missus Beastly not release music under their own name - so they released it under a pseudonym and dedicated it to themselves. The bureaucratic manoeuvre doubles as a small act of absurdist comedy, entirely in keeping with a record whose title track is named "Miles Along th…
Bremen 1974
This album contains three instrumental jazz rock jams recorded by Radio Bremen in September 1974 shortly after the band had produced the second LP. Keyboarder Dieter Miekautsch had left the band towards Embryo and Eddy Maron, also known from contributions for Vita Nova and Dzyan, brings new aspects to the music - it's quite a new impression of the band. The sound quality leaves nothing to be desired by the way. A very good show documenting a new facet of the Missus Beastly band and a highlight f…
Alraunes Alptraum
What you hold is half a record. Three tracks, twenty minutes, one side of an intended LP that never found its other half. Gäa recorded these sessions at Leico Studio in 1975, then ran out of money before the album could be finished. By 1978, the band had dissolved. The title, Alraunes Alptraum - Alraune's Nightmare - reaches into German earth mythology: the Alraune, or mandrake root, is an earth spirit pulled unwillingly from the ground. The name mirrors that of the band itself, named after Gaia…
Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee
Dee Brown's Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, published in 1970, was the first major history of the American West written from the perspective of its Native peoples. Its impact across Europe was considerable - a generation reading it not as distant history but as a mirror turned on the mechanisms of power still very much in operation. In Germany, where the mythology of the American frontier had deep and complicated roots, it landed with particular force. Wolf Conrad "Conny" Veit read it, and made a…
Genius Of Original Force
Edition with 20 pages booklet* Sophisticated rock with polyphonic vocals, multi-layered structure and frequent rhythm and tempo changes, in the vein of Gentle Giant and King Crimson. The LP was released on the Kerston label in 1977. The vinyl re-release comes with the original gatefold cover artwork and includes a 20-page booklet. Limited to 1000 numbered copies.
Epidermis were founded in Idstein, Hesse, in 1971, but they soon moved to the regional capital, Wiesbaden. They played some complex s…
Garden of Eden
*20 pages booklet edition. In proces of stocking* 'The band began in 1974 in Hagen but unfortunately this excelent album was emerged only in 1978, when progressive rock was not more in "fashion". Then this first work is sadly also the last. A similar problem that happened with Locanda delle Fate and his masterpiece "Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Più". Since then Albatros is almost completely forgotten until Garden of Delights reintroduce this gem to prog fans in general and kraurock fans in par…
The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters
Corbett vs. Dempsey is delighted to announce the release of the self-titled debut CD by the international quartet The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters.
The highly democratic foursome works in the productive netherworld between genres, where genres go to die. Integrating noise, jazz, electronic music, and pure mania, The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters does not sit passively waiting for something to happen; in highly focused free improvisations, they take the proverbial bull by the horns with …
Dial Up
There are super groups, and then there are Supergroups. This trio, comprised of three prolific journeymen improvisers whose work has been recognized across the globe, is neither. This is a band of down-to-earth, hard-working musicians, whose focus and dedication to the music is exceptional. That’s not to say that these three don’t have a combined CV that straddles a who’s who list of contemporary music across multiple scenes. But their ethos is one that emanates from their midwestern locale …
