Psych /
Whirpool Ocean
First time on vinyl for these incendiary hard psych rock tracks, which made their only other appearance in Australia in 1999 on CD as part of the “Sky Pilot” compilation released by Camera Obscura Records.
With each passing year since his death, the intense and inspiring musical legacy of Jesus Acedo is in danger of slipping into darkness. That’s where we at Lion Productions come in — together with Rich Hopkins and San Jacinto Records — to do our utmost to keep the Lambent Flame burning, so to …
La Onda Pesada
“La Onda Pesada” (1971) by Ernan Roch showcases the most experimental side of Mexican rock of the era, blending blues and psychedelia, with Hendrix-style guitars driven by powerful fuzz riffs, alongside more folk oriented passages and deeply poetic lyrics. This album has become one of the most coveted titles among collectors due to its outstanding musical quality and the fact that it suffered the consequences of the persecution of Mexican rock, which prevented it from being properly circulated a…
Electric Rebound
Fusing the freedom of jazz with the drive of progressive rock, this record delivers dynamic rhythms, soaring solos, and rich, textured soundscapes. From intricate instrumental passages to bold, high-voltage performances, this album captures the spirit of jazz rock and fusion at its finest.
With You in My Arms
With You in My Arms by John Michael Roch is a once‑lost mid‑’70s Los Angeles private‑press gem: fragile pop‑rock‑psych songs that sit perfectly beside Michael Angelo and Justen O’Brien & Jake, now finally restored from total obscurity with the care they always deserved.
Zuzax
Zuzax is a release from Damaged Bug, the long-running solo project of John Dwyer (Osees), built from dozens of previously unfinished songs written across several years. Left aside as other projects took over, these tracks initially felt too scattered to form a coherent whole. Revisited with fresh perspective, they reveal a shared emotional thread.
The record leans into contradiction: abstract but catchy, fried yet sweet, light on its feet while carrying a reflective weight. Dwyer frames the albu…
Twisted Tales From Warped Minds
Vesuvius was a 1970's musical group with Northwest Indiana roots. The band incorporated elements of prog/rock and psychedelia, combining the theatrics of Gabriel era Genesis and the psychedelic lighting effects of Hawkwind but on a bargain budget. First time on vinyl! do not miss this psych-prog gem!
Bandolero
Originally released in 1970 on the short-lived Truth Records label, Bandolero by Bandolero emerges once again as one of the most unbridled and mysterious artifacts of Puerto Rico’s underground rock scene. Long out of circulation and shrouded in legend, the album is finally making a triumphant return—restored and ready to ignite a new generation of listeners.
Across eleven original tracks, Bandolero fuses searing fuzz guitars, swirling organ lines, and a propulsive Latin rhythmic core to create…
Hosianna Mantra
Newly remastered vinyl edition of this seminal 1972 release. In the history of experimental music, few artistic decisions have proven as radical or as successful as Florian Fricke's complete abandonment of electronic instrumentation on Popol Vuh's third album, Hosianna Mantra. Released in 1972, this stunning work represents not just a departure from the Moog synthesizer explorations that defined the group's first two releases, but a complete reimagining of what spiritual music could accomplish i…

Issue 72 (Magazine)
Audion 73 is where Audion Magazine’s global circuitry really starts to glow. First published on 3 March 2023 as a 48‑page A4 pdf, the issue threads book criticism, deep historical reappraisal and present‑tense scene reports into one restless survey. It opens, fittingly, on the printed word with “A Fistful of Spaghetti” - an extended book‑review section that uses recent titles on Italian cinema, music and counterculture as a prism, talking through how giallo soundtracks, spaghetti western scores …
Issue 71 (Magazine)
Audion 71 catches Audion Magazine in full cartographic mode, tracing how progressive, psychedelic and experimental tendencies have leaked across borders, labels and generations. The issue opens with a feature on Acid Rooster, cast here as “new space-trekkers from Germany”, picking up the kosmische thread with extended jams that feel closer to orbital slingshots than retro homage. The piece listens closely to their long-form structures, guitar textures and rhythmic drift, showing how they tap int…
Issue 70 (Magazine)
Audion 70 catches Audion Magazine in full investigative mode, tracing unlikely connections between avant-garde improvisers, 1970s label culture and the latest mutations of progressive rock. At its core is a substantial feature on AMM / AMMMusic, treating the ensemble not as a distant academic reference but as a living fault-line in post‑war sound. The article unpacks how AMM’s radical non-idiomatic improvisation, tape abuse and volume-as-material approach rewired the language of collective playi…
Issue 69 (Magazine)
Audion 69 opens on a sustained chord of Italo-symphonic grandeur and slowly fans out across Europe’s most fertile borderlands, using a handful of key case studies to prise open the archive. At its centre is an extended feature on Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, here framed unapologetically as “the Italian masters of classical rock” during their 1970s peak. The article doesn’t simply rehearse the usual praise quotes: it walks album by album through the original run, unpicking how Banco welded conservat…
Scoop
Terrific monster Psyche-Krautrock track from OST "Scoop". Original in 1973, 7" reissue in Cameleon Rds in 2013, CAME 3.
Synths, Sax & Situationists (Music From The French Underground 1973-78)
France's near-revolution of May '68 kicked the country's small but vibrant counter-culture into overdrive and birthed a local underground music scene. The bands it spawned made music with far less rock purity than groups from the UK and US - their influences foregrounded improvisation, disjunction and genre-blending: Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, free jazz and radical politics. The introduction of the synthesiser in the early 1970s added fuel to the fire. This six-track compilation inau…
Fantasy Train
From a southern small town this after school project is hard to describe other than there’s nothing else like it. Teens exploring soul, funk and rock and this album is their interpretation of all three. Catchy tunes, plenty of effects and earnest vocals. Fantasy Train is one of the freshest sounds I’ve heard in many years of digging. – Rich Haupt (Rockadelic)
Fantasy Train is a unique, genre-bending album cooked up in the sweltering Southern heat that impresses me with a special kind of style a…
Live - Hhaï
Remastered and pressed on translucent blue vinyl. 2LP deluxe edition. One of the greatest live albums ever recorded is back on vinyl in deluxe form. Christian Vander and his cosmic warriors captured at the absolute peak of their powers - Taverne de l'Olympia, Paris, June 1-5, 1975. The Island Mobile studio rolling tape. Five nights of pure Zeuhl fury. This is the lineup. After the departure of Jannick Top and most of the original formation in late '74, Magma rose from the ashes with a rejuvenate…
Félicité Thösz
The masters of Zeuhl return on vinyl! Christian Vander's cosmic vision at its most luminous and transcendent. Originally released in 2012, Félicité Thösz was Magma's first album of new material in 27 YEARS after their 1996 reformation. Think about that for a second. Twenty-seven years!
And what a comeback this is. Gone are the martial thunderstorms of Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh - here we get celestial vocal tapestries, Stella Vander's voice soaring like a messenger from another dimension, pian…
Chromophobia
A record made for the ones we lost. Oli Heffernan returns with his fourth album for Riot Season - an expansive double LP that carries with it a deep personal history and years of unfinished business.
The earliest sessions date back to 2018 at the IDI in Middlesbrough, engineered by longtime collaborator Nigel Crooks over the course of three weekends. Then life happened. The material was shelved, left to gather dust for reasons that accumulated and compounded. When Crooks passed away in 2023, com…
