CTU
Centered around Philip K. Dick's writings, Telectu's debut album CTU - released in 1982 in Portugal through Valentim de carvalho, is still very much under the radar, probably for being so far ahead of its time. Considered by some to be at the vanguard of Art-Rock in Portugal, CTU is much more than this. It's the pinnacle of a new epiphany of sound that came together naturally when Jorge Lima Barreto (Anar Band) and Vítor Rua (GNR) met and decided to direct their creative minds towards an outspok…
Time Wasters
2011 release. Originally released in 1978, in a private pressing of 200 copies. Canterbury style UK fragile folk with psych leanings. UK album recorded by a group of students at the Ingestre Hall Residential Arts Centre. The name of the band was actually a joke based on newspaper advertisements for musicians to join bands, which would sometimes end with "No time wasters"! So Greg Holt, the band's founder, called them "Time Wasters Only" and the generic name for any of the musicians in the group …
Explosion
Fully remastered and licensed reissue, limited to just 350 copies on black wax. This killer Italian library album by Luciano 'Arawak' Simoncini was only ever released on the elusive Orrery Records label, and is now very hard to find. Still very much under the radar, Explosive reveals itself as a swift tangled web of beats for the discerning DJ. Tracks includes the driving cosmic funk Hardware with sharp hip-hop breaks and spaced-out abstract synth keys. Kangoroo Court is an even better alternati…
Levende Opjekten Sjooo
Black vinyl, edition of 400. Once more the Netherlands proves to be fertile ground for adventurous sonic explorations defiantly untainted from outside influences. The Levende Opjekten Sjooo (L.O.S.) was developed by Artist Hans Frisch, who had made a name for himself as a painter by dripping black car paint on white formica panels, calling this: Clean Art. His next project involved a set with moving statues and music. The statues were actually naked dancers hidden between layers of linnen and pl…
Ichiban
The very first recordings by the Bleu Forest happened after they played a show at the "Hey You Coffeehouse" in Ventura, CA.  Jimmie Haskell decided to have them come to Hollywood and record on the spot at his place. His intention was to capture how the band sounded live, and this is what you get in Ichiban: Two mics, the band, a recording machine, no retakes, spontaneity and raw energy, a time-capsule direct From Jimmie's place in 1967. The sound and the style reminiscent of what was happening i…
Latinoamérica
Sole release by this Colombian band that surfaces briefly after the Speakers, Young Beats, Ampex and Time Machine era comes to an end. The band boasts an Italian jazz-rock drummer Roberto Fiorilli and legendary Genesis Bassist Humberto Monroy. The record consists of one theme divided into two long experimental progressive ventures (Viaje I and Viaje II) of fierce, fluid and free collective improvisation with spacey feels and a rich texture of Hammond organ, guitar, bass, tenor sax, percussion an…
Nyl
Nyl 1976 sole release is curiously still very much under the radar despite it being one of the most intriguing French psychedelic/prog albums from the 70’s. The music is highly creative and energetic with a definite space-rock feel in the style of Hawkwind, but also a clear krautrock edge reminiscent of Amon Dull II and Agitation free. Michel Peteau’s guitar is the driving force around which all other elements create a whirlwind of sonic psychedelic infusion veering between loud psychedelia and …
Azmari
«... The Azmari are singers and musicians wandering through the territory of Ethiopia. They carry the stories of different worlds, the sagas of cold lands with wispering winds, of flying islands, of ancient dances on the top of red mountains, of the demoted Ethiopian Princes and their doubles ... " by chronicler Tekle - Ēzānā (1698) Vespero, the southern Russian wonder band formed in Astrakhan, time and time again refining  their means of expression from a intricate blend of space- and retro-pro…
Anita
​Originally available only in sex shops in the Netherlands, this is one of the rarest psychedelic LP’s ever to be recorded in Europe. Consisting of only two long tracks, one covering side A and one covering side B, this album is probably the most mind-bending stuff we’ve heard from around this time. Side A starts with fast-paced free-jazz-rock with intense drumming and Anita’s growing involvement (first giggling, then moaning and finally screaming in all sorts of terrifying ways) Most instrument…
Rosary Bleeds
Rosary Bleeds takes the road hinted at with those 90s synth chords and follows it all the way down. While the other two releases feel like very communal creations with no single voice dominating, Rosary Bleeds is centred on Alison O'Donnell's dramatic vocals. The backdrop is almost entirely synthetic; clicking drum machines, burbling, proto-melodic leads, deep bass. Clean electric guitar sometimes adds to the texture with simple, single strums. There is almost nothing to suggest that the…
Accadde A.......
Black vinyl edition. Here's a revamped reissue of this extremely rare Italian library album featuring Silvana Simoncini (Arawak's wife) on the cover, and with new liner notes.  Long revered in connoisseur circles, but always elusive almost to the status of a myth, Arawak’s Accadde a.. takes us on a journey across the planet, depicting faraway places with an uncanny sense of style, using a tapestry of sounds and instruments, sometimes mellow and dreamy, sometimes engulfing the listener in a funky…
Spoiche
United Bible Studies is an experimental and improvisational folk band from Ireland, with members in the UK. There are a few core members such as David Colohan as well as a host of incidental contributors on both the live performances and studio albums. Pastoral psychedelia and traditional song have remained the cornerstones of the band's style, alongside collective improvisation that can take the form of extended drone-works or explosive outbursts of ecstatic noise. The lineup currently in…
The Unmables
A mythical Magma album recorded in 1971, during the 1001 Centigrades period. The album aims at introducing wider audiences to the zeuhl feel, with a less hermetic sound, favoring a groovier jazz-rock approach. Features the vocalist of Ergo Sum on one track as well as Tito Puentes on trumpet; otherwise this is pretty much the same line-up as in their previous album. A few dreamy moments with acoustic guitar and flutes (the track 'Clementine'), and other typically dense moments with pulsati…
