Speed Limit
A mid-'70s French all star band featuring saxophonist Yoch'ko Seffer and bassist Dod Dugrenot from Zao, drummer George Jinda (later with Special EFX) electric pianist Jean Louis Bucchi, guitarist Gerard Courbillion and percussionist Shiroc. A fine combination of Jazz and Rock elements including a hint of Magma. Oblique saxophone lines, angular electric piano chords and a catalogue of wild rhythms were the main ingredients of this often forgotten band from the most creative French music era.
60
RG Rough is a project by French musician Robert G. Rough who is also active as a member of Rough and Wojtyla and Rude Garden. 60 is a quite interesting musical jigsaw made out of sounds from the 60s, ripped to shreds, reshaped, reassembled and coerced into fitting. This long piece is divided in ten parts (...five on each side, numbered from 60 to 69) and will take you on a journey through a decade which may have existed long ago, in some strange parallel universe...
Vovivizm Episode 2
Duo by two members from Acid Mothers Temple & The Melting Paraiso UFO: Kawabata Makoto (electric guitar, synthesizer) and Satoshima Nani (drums, sampler). Nani ∞ Guru is a hyper-experimental, psychedelic astro-trance duo, spontaneously formed in February 2018. Their first album, Vovivizm was recorded immediately and released on CD by the Acid Mothers Temple in March 2018 in a limited edition of 300. In May 2018 they made their live debut on a tour of Mexico, and subsequently played dates in Japa…
Obsolete
**Very small repress in replica textured sleeve! This can be considered as close to the original as one can be, few copies available.** "Here's another Gong album no one seems to know about, as this is basically Gong plus poet/musician Dashiell Hedayat (otherwise known as Melmoth). Evidently the lyrical content (especially on the suite "Eh, Mushroom will you mush my room?") is hallucinogen-related, and if you are an early David Allen-period Gong fan, you are sure to love this one as it is classi…
Schaum
LP version. Faitiche presents the release of Schaum by Masayoshi Fujita & Jan Jelinek. Since their debut Bird, Lake, Objects, they have played improvised concerts around the world. Japanese vibraphonist Masayoshi Fujita prepares his instrument with various percussion elements as well as metal objects and toys, while Jan Jelinek layers loops made using small-scale electronic devices. Schaum (German for froth or foam) is the duo\'s second album. Jelinek writing to Fujita about the album: \"De…
Do You Know Otahiti?
The third of four Faitiche compilations (due to be collected in one boxset), 'Do You Know Otahiti?' features Jan Jelinek in collaboration with Japanese vibraphone player Masayoshi Fujita, along with two solo pieces. Recorded live at Frameworks, Munich, 2012, the first duo part ascends from hushed jazz to a slow swelling cosmic vortex with wonderful subtlety, and the 2nd, Live at AvantJazz, Barcelona, 2012 feels more exotic, drifting and lilting, with trickling drums and dusty ambience. The title…
Ghosts
"I have to admit that this record contains some of the most intriguing and wicked music I ever experienced. And I say that from the point of view of a John Coltrane aficionado. Well, Ayler and his mates Don Cherry on trumpet, Sonny Murray on drums and Gary Peacock on bass guitar are definitely on par with the before mentioned god of free jazz and others like Ornette Coleman. If you listen to this album from the pop music perspective you may find only screeching and overblown saxes and some non s…
Osorezan / Doh No Kembai
Their transcendental debut, from the lendary Geinoh Yamashirogumi, a music collective formed in Japan in 1974. Their approach psychedelic music with from a rather Krautish point of view and their first album from 1976 about which I write this review is rather a collage of strange noises, screams, a few rhythms patterns and wide open structures that seem to be borrowed from late 1960s psyched out free jazz. And you can bet, this is an ever flowing freak out but definitely an intense and mi…
Jungle Obsession
2016 re-edition in green-black splatter vinyl. Released in 1971, under the blanket of library music anonymity, Jungle Obsession is one of those rare and precious records whose extraordinary personality is instantly recognised by the ear of the listener. Timelessluminous!! Though it may look like a sexy piece of exotica from the heyday of tiki culture -- the '50s and early '60s -- Jungle Obsession was originally released in 1971 by the French Neuilly label. Nino Nardini was a master of library mu…
Monkey-Pockie-Boo
**180 gram vinyl. 37th volume in the BYG Actuel series; gatefold sleeve** The quintessentail Actuel album and your basic cornerstone of Free Music 101. "An album recorded in Paris (on June 22nd, 1969) with his wife Linda Sharrock plus Ben Guerin (bass) and Jacques Thollot (drums). Sonny Sharrock was one of the top avant-garde guitarists and his playing was intense and ferocious. He mixed together Jimi Hendrix and Pharoah Sanders." "Sharrock was the first guitarist to really embrace fire music. H…
Niente
Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza at the top, in the classic freeform outfit mixed with dry drum breaks with screaching trumpets and guitars. " The love of Morricone for the trumpet is well known, and this instrument is his beloved among the other. In these tracks his genius is particularly noticeable from the amazing result: music very pleasant to the ear. Collector edition, limited to 500 copies only, one time pressing. featuring Ennio Morricone, Franco Evangelisti, Walter Branchi, …
Supernova
2009 release. "With several connections to the early Kraftwerk history and formed in the Rhineland area in 1971, Ibliss was a quintet formed by percussionist Basil Hammoudi (from Organisation, the band before Kraftwerk), drummer Andreas Hohmann (also from Kraftwerk), brothers Wolfgang and Norbert Büllmeyer (bass and guitar respectively) and Rainer Büchel on sax and flute. With the help of Conny Plank, they recorded their one and only LP at Hamburg's Windrose-Studios: four long instrumental track…

Fifty Years After... (Live at Lila Eule Bremen 26.05.2018)
For the celebration of the 50th anniversary of the legendary Machine Gun recordings at the Lila Eule in Bremen, Peter Brötzmann put together a trio with the Berlin pianist, composer Alexander von Schlippenbach and the percussionist Han Bennink, who already sat on the drums 50 years ago. They were so pleased with the music that they decided to release it and continue to play gigs as the trio. Machine Gun was originally recorded in May 1968 by an octet consisting of influential musicians of new ja…

Cat Food / Groon (10") - 50th Anniversary Edition
Released on 10" vinyl in a picture sleeve replica of the original 7" art, 50 years on. Artwork derived from Peter Sinfield's original 7" sleeve art. Even by the frequently, if unintentionally, bizarre history of the UK's premier chart television show 'Top of the Pops' there are few less likely performances than that of a temporary line-up of King Crimson miming to the band's early 1970 single release 'Cat Food'. The band's first (& only) - isolated from album release - foray into the fickle worl…
Flow Motion
The second of Can's three Virgin albums, 1976's Flow Motion, is a divisive record in the group's canon. It was their most commercially successful album (the opening track, "I Want More," was released as a single in the U.K. and actually charted, thanks to its smoothly percolating near-disco groove, which makes it resemble a late-period Roxy Music hit), but many fans dismiss it as the group's feint toward commercial success. That fluke hit aside, the charge doesn't really hold water. There's a ne…
Monster Movie
Are we there yet? After 25 years of critical reappraisal and at least 15 years of indie and post-rock bands flaunting their influence, has Can finally gotten their just desserts? I don't think so. Not just yet. Can still seem just a little bit ahead of the curve. They really were "post-rock," as opposed to just futuristic. Can's music anticipated both the musical trend toward decontextualization via electronics, post-production, and editing, and the cultural trend toward collective experience an…
Edge Of Nothing
**Edition of 400** Edge Of Nothing was first released in a cassette edition of 5 (!) copies on David Jackman’s Aeroplane imprint, and then included on the legendary “The Elephant Table Album” DLP in 1983 (feat. Coil, Nurse With Wound, SPK, Lustmord etc). Both tracks presented here are the January 2003 mixes of the original material, which was derived from variously stimulating a cymbal with bows, knuckles, loops etc. An extremely dense piece of experimental noise where (allegedly) the B side is …
Die Hennen Zähne
**Edition of 600** A four track mini CD combining the never released two 10 inch's Maus (DS57) and Die Hennen Zähne (DS66). Die Hennen Zähne opens with Die Kralle actually a David Jackman track from his archive recorded in the early 1980's. Next is the title track Die Hennen Zähne, a joyful noise not unlike some of the TNB/Organum material incl. the sound of broken glass and tibetan horns, best to be experienced loud. Maus is the centre piece of this mini album and typical old school Organum. Th…
