Weidorje
A vinyl reissue of a hard to find album from 1978 by a French
progressive rock band. Weidorje was formed in 1977 by two ex-Magma
members. Musically and spiritually the atmosphere isn't too different
from Magma. This is real savage stuff with an anguished vibe, a strong
rhythm section, ultra vitriolic guitar leads, dissonent sax breaks, and
dark incantations.

Just Love Songs
A limited vinyl-only collection of 11 love songs by Family Fodder that have never before been released on vinyl. Alig Fodder says: "We collected all the love songs together without all the annoying instrumentals, dubs and solos. Lou Reed

something else. The 'kinds of love' here include: the love for a child,
nostalgic love and imaginary journeys, love renewed and shared, love of
animals, love of music, nostalgia, love in …
