*2025 stock* Incredible collection of classic Congolese music from Planet Ilunga specializing in this particular niche. Glorious guitar melodies, beautiful vocal harmonies, and infectious rumba grooves. Excellent curation and very cool thematic presentation, plus lots of great details given in the liner notes.
The evolution of Congolese popular music in the 1960s and 70s is generally classified into two major schools: African Jazz & OK Jazz. The main representatives of those schools are Joseph Kabasele alias Grand Kallé, founder of African Jazz, and Franco Luambo, co-founder of O.K. Jazz. Two temperaments and ambiances, one commonly referred to as ‘fiesta’, the other as ‘odemba’, both seeking their own sublimity or ideal.
For the very first time, a compilation brings together explicitly the main prota…
*200 copies limited edition* After Mirthrandir, Lift and Easter Island, we continue bringing you the cream of the crop from U.S. Prog Classics, with the reissue of ID’s 1977 album Where Are We Going. In this case, you can guess the music from the band’s name, a regression into the depths of the unconscious (Freud’s antecedent term for ID in the structure of the cunning invention called ‘psyche’) via an interminable sonic evocation. The highlights of the album are the 2 long parts of the homonymo…
"The Crippled Flower was a post-punk band from Düsseldorf - and they arrived late. However, unlike many young, unsuspecting, hairsprayed hopefuls from that time, in 1985 they could sense that the end of their era was approaching. They knew too much to want to take the world by storm. They were four individualists searching their own way. Each of the band members only found their calling after the time that they had spent together – but that's exactly what makes The Crippled Flower still seem rea…
Visionary Walter Maioli and electronic innovator John Zandijik’s 1980s late-night sessions fuse ancient flutes and cutting-edge technology, creating a cosmic soundscape that bridges ethnomusicology, psychedelia, and electronic experimentation.
Antonio Carlos Jobim’s first American album is a masterpiece of understated elegance, presenting a dozen songs that would become bossa nova standards. Despite claiming to be out of practice, Jobim’s sparse, single-hand piano style lets his flowing melodies shine. Claus Ogerman’s signature arrangements—airy flutes, brooding strings, and lush harmonies—enhance timeless gems like Desafinado, Corcovado, The Girl from Ipanema, and One Note Samba. A defining moment in bossa nova’s global ascent.

2025 stock Moonmadness was originally released in March 1976. It was their fourth album and the last to feature the band's original line-up (Latimer, Bardens, Ferguson, Ward). After the success of the tightly structured, instrumental The Snow Goose in 1975, the band added vocals to their music again. The tracks that comprised the album were conceived as a loose concept based on the individual personalities that made up Camel; Air Born about Andrew Latimer, Lunar Sea about Andy Ward, Chord Change…

Dais reissues Coil's seminal Black Antlers, the group's final studio masterpiece completed by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson after Jhonn Balance's passing. A vital document of the group's final creative surge - where live energy, poetic mysticism and digital experimentation reached their apex.
For the first time on vinyl a collection of tracks by Cortex, Alain Neffe (Bene Gesserit, Insane Music) experimental spoken-word project originally released on tape in 1984. Cortex was never intended to be a conventional musical project. From the very beginning it was centered around free live performances. These encounters were stripped down and highly visual: Alain Neffe constructed a trapezoidal fluorescent white screen lit by black light. The narrator—la récitante—was only illuminated in the…
