Mantricoom
About 1 hour and a half of droning doom/ dark ambient on 2 cd in a de luxe handmade packaging by Luigi Mennella. As a long, phlegmatic journey towards annihilation, "Mantricoom" opens the door to a new perception of the union of ecstatic rapture and …
Zemsta Plutona
Felix Kubin looks a lot like an alien on the cover of this set – and sounds a fair bit like a space visitor in the music as well! The work\'s got this very cool blend of electronics and playful rhythms – served up in a style that really takes us back…
Soundtrack
Sax legend Mats Gustafsson teams up with experimental artists dieb13 and Martin Siewert. There's a distinct fusion approach to the album which results in many a dissonant moment with Gustafsson's jagged sax leading the way through the shrouded clouds…

Ancestors

Has anybody seen our freedoms?
Recorded in December 1970. "Peter Walker is an American original, as eclectic and enigmatic as the songs he writes. The legendary seventy-five year old raga/psychedelic/folk acoustic guitarist, who was schooled by masters such as Ravi Shankar, and A…
