2019 Repress. In the 1980's, Morton Feldman composed two large-sized pieces for his favourite instrument, the piano. Both pieces, Triadic Memories (1981) and For Bunita Marcus (1985), clock in at about 90 minutes. Both compositions are excellent examples of the group of works that they belong to: Triadic Memories demonstrates the complexity and tonal opulence of Feldman’s pattern compositions from 1977 through 1983, whereas For Bunita Marcus shows the stripped-down, almost dismissive structures …

The core of this group -- John Surman, Alan Skidmore, Peter Lemer, Tony Reeves, and Jon Hiseman -- recorded an LP titled Local Colour for ESP-Disk in 1966. The plan, conceived the year after the 50th anniversary of the recording session, was to reunite the original quintet, which had existed for six months back in '66, but unfortunately Nisar Ahmad (George) Khan, tenor saxophonist on the original album, came down with something and couldn't appear. Alan Skidmore (Lemer bandmate in SOS) was deput…

As sonic mavericks go, the man originally christened Don Van Vliet remains, quite possibly, 'the godfather'. And as the later re-christened (allegedly by his old mucker, Frank Zappa) Captain Beefheart, he retained his originality, creative spark and unique vision throughout his musical career, and both released and performed some of the most enjoyable albeit challenging sounds to have emerged from the generally limiting genre, loosely called rock n roll.This quadruple CD collection brings togeth…

Ernest Hood’s Neighborhoods was released some two decades after the Portland, Oregon born and raised musician’s first forays into field recordings.

The title refeers to the major third intervals between E - G#, C -E and Ab - C which in Danish are pronounced Egis Ce Asc. Lyhne Løkkegaard holds a special in…

Temporary Super Offer! "After Le Nouveau Jazz was released in early 1967, I worked for two years with Bernard Vitet, Beb Guérin and a few other friends on a happening loosely based on Lewis Carroll’s The Hunting of the Snark.
