Hot Rats (LP) 50th Anniversary Limited Pink Vinyl Edition
**limited edition translucent hot pink 180-gram vinyl featuring the 1969 mix mastered from the original analog master tapes by Bernie Grundman**. Hot Rats was originally recorded in 1969 and is a predominantly instrumental album that Frank Zappa described as "a movie for your ears." The sound is largely jazz fusion based with extensive soloing, eschewing the satirical vocal performances and musique concrète of earlier Zappa releases. There are many notable musicians featured on the album, includ…
Thousands On a Raft
Alternative Fox present a reissue of Pete Brown & Piblokto!'s Thousands On a Raft, originally released in 1970. London-based poet Pete Brown made a name for himself after joining Mike Horovitz's New Departures art group in the early 1960s, leading to a residency at The Marquee and a 1965 appearance at the Royal Albert Hall. Brown began co-writing lyrics for Cream the following year after a request from drummer Ginger Baker, yielding tremendous hits such as Sunshine of Your Love, White Room, and …
Pieces + Secrets of the Blue Bag
The two groundbreaking Anthony Moore LPs in bundle at a special price. **500 copies** Over the last few years, we’ve seen countless reissues emerge with the branding of “holy grail”. Some have deserved it, other have not. Needless to say, here at SoundOhm, we’re increasingly wary of throwing these words around, but the two albums before us, Anthony Moore’s Pieces From a Cloudland Ballroom, from 1971, and Secrets of the Blue Bag, issued the following year, deserve them with little doubt. Creative…
Fur Ein 3/4 Stundchen
Long Hair proudly presents one of the most sought after German albums of the early seventies, now for the first time officially re-released on LP: Tortilla Flat's 'Für Ein 3/4 Stündchen', originally recorded in winter 1974 and released in early 1975 as a private pressing. The instrumental album is very flute and electric piano driven, with very exciting guitar playing accompanied by rocking drumming with slightly jazzy influences and nimble bass lines, very tight! Music is very unique, not typic…
Nosferatu
2010 Release. Originally issued in 1970, Nosferatu is band’s sole album is a highlight of early Krautrock, and it remains a lively testimonial of the fledgling German music scene of the time, which was steadily moving away from its Anglo-American role-models to create an independent sound that the English initially and somewhat disparagingly called Krautrock, but which eventually came to be a seal of quality. A band somewhat shrouded in mystery, perhaps maintaining what little attention they st…
Striptease
The recordings of Striptease were a long time lost. In 1975 Secret Oyster had reached broad acceptance in Danish cultural life and on the music scene. Their 3rd album „Vidunderlige Kaelling (Astarte), reissued on vinyl and CD by LongHair, received massive media attention and a big audience. After finishing the rcordings for their 4th album „Straight to Krankenhaus“ (also reissued on vinyl and CD by LongHair) the band was pleased to work on the recordings for another „Ballet“ with working title „…
The Velvet Underground & Nico (LP)
2017 Release. 180 g, Gatefold. Over Half a century later, this record still slays; if any album is deserving of the "classic" tag, it's The Velvet Underground & Nico. Lou Reed's affected vocals, Nico's female Lugosi-style recitations, John Cale's droning strings, Moe Tucker's minimal kit - this landmark work laid down paths that musicians today are still trying to follow. Just pick any track: "I'm Waiting For The Man," "Sunday Morning," "Venus In Furs," "All Tomorrow's Parties," "There She Goes …
Tago Mago
** Remastered edition on translucent orange vinyl ** You couldn't do much better than beginning with 1971's Tago Mago, freshly reissued in vinyl format. It's a colossus of an album, the product of a band that was thinking huge, pushing itself to its limits, and devoted to breaking open its own understanding of what rock music could be. The core of Can was four German musicians from wildly different backgrounds-- when they initially came together in 1968, two of them had studied with composer Kar…
Ege Bamyasi
**Limited heavyweight green vinyl LP** The group's fourth album, from 1972, originally issued by United Artists. "The follow-up to Tago Mago is only lesser in terms of being shorter; otherwise the Can collective delivers its expected musical recombination act with the usual power and ability. Liebezeit, at once minimalist and utterly funky, provides another base of key beat action for everyone to go off on -- from the buried, lengthy solos by Karoli on 'Pinch' to the rhythm box/keyboard action o…
Oora
The Edgar Broughton Band's fifth album has never been as well-regarded as its predecessors - by 1973, after all, the Broughtons' brand of post-hippie revolution was feeling just a little tired, particularly in the face of the glam scene that had emerged all around, and no matter how strong the song writing and performances remained, there was still a sense of too little, too late. Which was colossally unfair. Indeed, the sheer diversity of Oora flies defiantly in the face of anybody hoping to pi…
Cuerpo y Alma
**500 copies, 2019 stock** Cuerpo y Alma was Eduardo Mateo's second record as a soloist, recorded between 1981 and 1984 and originally released by Sondor in 1984. It finds Mateo experimenting with percussion and drawing influence from Hindu music. Eduardo Mateo was one of the most important figures in the history of the Uruguayan music, known for mixing beat, jazz, bossa nova, and candombe. He created the "candombe beat" and was a member of the legendary band El Kinto. This first-ever vinyl reis…
The Broadcast Archives
As sonic mavericks go, the man originally christened Don Van Vliet remains, quite possibly, 'the godfather'. And as the later re-christened (allegedly by his old mucker, Frank Zappa) Captain Beefheart, he retained his originality, creative spark and unique vision throughout his musical career, and both released and performed some of the most enjoyable albeit challenging sounds to have emerged from the generally limiting genre, loosely called rock n roll.This quadruple CD collection brings togeth…
Intención
**500 copies** "New vinyl repressing of our long sold out edition of the glorious second LP by this killer Spanish hard prog psychedelic band. Intención, the sensational second LP recorded by Atila, has never fetched the high amounts their debut album The Beginning of the End (Wah Wah LPS022) does exchange hands for in the collectors’ market, but it is still a mega rare LP hardly seen below the 400 euros tag, and is considered by many to be better than their previous output.At the time of record…
The Beginning of the End (El Principio del Fin)
**500 copies** Often hailed as one the hard psych masterpieces to come out from Spain in the early 70's, The Beginning of the End was the vinyl debut of Atila, a trio formed in 1973 by Eduardo Niebla -guitar- Joan Punyet -drums- and Francisco Ortega -keyboards. Originally released in 1975 by the obscure New Promotion label in a alledged tiny pressing of 100 copies the album has reached "monster" status among die-hard collectors worldwide, sometimes reaching the 1000€ tag."An incredible progressi…

Zëss (Le Jour du Néant)
Magma's newest album Zëss is a 38-minute musical work by Christian Vander. Composed in 1970, Zëss had long been plagued by its incompleteness and its recording was deferred for years. Four decades after its first draft, the work has finally been recorded in an orchestral version that gives it both its true dreamlike dimension and its transcending power.The first public performance took place in Bourges in 1979. It is the last piece in a series of unfinished compositions from the 1970s. During th…
