Visions Of The Age To Come
In Zaire return with an eightfold kaleidoscope coming into blissful focus. It’s called „Visions Of The Age To Come“ and presents them in a feverish dance between rock heritage and psychedelic outlands.

Vitamins
First time on vinyl, rare recordings from 1975 by the legendary Pekka Airaksinen, NWW -listed founding member of Finnish improv group Sperm. The compositions (mostly about minerals and vitamins) just seem to have a hugely varied, constantly mutating life of their own, with waves of pure electronic pulse, panned and pushed into exploration of synthetic tonality and space. ”In general music is mostly about expressing feelings and affecting people emotionally. On the other hand for example creati…

Wahoo!
A fiery, raw burst of fusion jazz played by a large group with incendiary energy, Eero Koivistoinen’s commanding saxophone controlling the chaos! Don't be put off by the long name, or the overuse of vowels in the title – because this album's a killer batch of free jazz, filled with loads of choppy sax riffs, sweet Fender Rhodes licks, and plenty of heavy drums. The record's got a hard fusion groove – and all the tracks are long instrumentals served up with plenty of power, and plenty of …

The Third Reich 'N' Roll
Technically the third album from the group, though released as a follow-up to Meet the Residents, this 40-minute assault on the music of the '60s follows Picasso's dictum of all artists killing their (aesthetic) fathers. Two side-long medleys of songs both classic ("Papa's Got a Brand New Bag") and obscure ("Telstar") are destroyed, deconstructed, mangled, spat on, spit out, ground up, and injected with gleeful humor. If there's any concept here, it's that the brain-numbing catchiness of p…
