Mirror Mirror
**300 copies ** "Every so often, the cosmos graces us with a chanteuse in possession of otherworldly inflections. Can you remember the first time Vashti Bunyan’s lilting voice kissed your ears? Or the moment when you knew that you needed Linda Perhacs’ Parallelograms to resonate inside your home? Did you feel a lightness in your heart when Elisa Randazzo brought Bridget St John back into the fold? Have you ever sat spellbound in the presence of a Meg Baird performance? Did the hair on your arms …

Decouple ][ Series
**300 copies** Experimental solo cellist Oliver Coates (Rvng Intl., Prah) and techno-dub minimalist Spatial (Infrasonics) coalesce with the new installment for the Decouple ][ Series by subverting -through subliminal interventions and refined focus changes - pre-packaged music forms and textures in favor of new self-organizing tendencies. Surprisingly enough, two producers of such different DNAs converge to a similar systemic approach, delivering a set of music that flows with solid and endearin…
Nirvana
Nirvana is an album by jazz flutist Herbie Mann with The Bill Evans Trio featuring Chuck Israels and Paul Motian. The great jazz pianist Bill Evans rarely recorded with flutists, but this exception marked a great collaboration.

Fans of either Herbie Mann or Bill Evans will want to acquire this enjoyable record.

Robinson Crusoe (Lost Soundtrack)
St. Petersburg seeker Vladimir Karpov's first ever release as X.Y.R., initially issued on a almost-private run of 30 tapes via his own Singapore Sling Tapes imprint back in 2012, is finally getting the vinyl treat it deserved, thanks to the Mixed Up label out of Italy.

H…

It opens with a searing medley of the Them classics Gloria and Baby Please Don't Go, boasting superb interplay and savage psychedelic guitar throughout. Elsewhere, Stark and Parker flex their songwriting muscles on a series of po…
Magic Tube
Delaware-based power trio Mouzakis conjured an intriguing sound somewhere between traditional rhythm and blues and garage rock, with psychedelic and hard rock leanings. The band occupied something of a unique space during their short reign during the early 1970s, and it was partly their non-standard outlook that kept the group a trio, since other potential musical recruits simply could not find a way through their multidirectional sound. Drummer / lead singer Eddie Stevenson and bassist / keyboa…
Green Eyed God
Fabled British prog-rock band Steel Mill was formed in Wandsworth, a working-class district of south London, during the late 1960s, after singer / keyboardist David Morris began working with saxophonist / flautist John Challenger, who had played with a folk group - The Garret Singers - the initial Mill line-up completed once they were joined by former Roadrunners' drummer Colin Short, Derek Chandler on bass and Terry Williams on guitar. The nascent band rehearsed for about one year, playing very…

He made music for all sorts of uses -- he even made library music -- and of course this very album of his music for two of his ballets. Towards the end of his life Ernest Berk gifted his entire collection of works, tapes, documents, and all t…
