This album features a session in 1976 between Manuel Goetting (died 2022), who had a huge influence on the subsequent ambient music scene, and Michael Hönig, formerly of Agitation Free.

The latest remastering by Michael Hennig himself! The Japanese edition is released in paper jacket and SHM-CD!

Second Hand began life as The Next Collection in South London in 1965, with teenage school-friends Ken Elliott (keyboards, mellotron, harmonica) and Kieran O'Connor (d…

This is a masterpiece in paper jacket, SHM-CD, and the latest …

Third album by Guru Guru, pioneers of the krautrock scene, released in 1972. The last album of the band's heyday with the original three members Mani Neumeier, Uli Trepte and Ax Genrich.

The aggression has receded, but the psychedel…
