Reissues
Radiance
**few copies back in stock, very last around** It hardly needs to be said that the context of experimental music is defined by incredibly ambitious efforts. But there’s ambitious, and then there’s ambitious. The German composer and musician, Stephan Mathieu, might have taken the cake. Back in 2016, he began issuing his sprawling Radiance project, the culmination of a decade of work, in the end amounting to twelve thematically linked album length pieces, built around the concepts of stasis, unfol…
Thrice Mice!
This solely album of Hamburg's six piece is a crossover of progressive- and jazz rock, notably with influences as wide-ranging as Blodwyn Pig and Curved Air. Long jammings by highly talented musicians, all blending into an unique sound with the distinct spirit of krautrock. Comes with insert including band story and rare photos.
You'll Never Come Back
This is Thirsty Moon's second album on the famous German label Brain, originally released in 1973. Despite the fact that their first album is accepted as a classic, many progressive rock fans consider You'll Never Come Back the band's best effort. On this album Thirsty Moon developed their unique sound. Not many other bands managed to capture the true character of acid-rock and placed it so effectively in a jazz-rock format. Thirsty Moon's sound is a mirror ball of images surrounding the listene…
Come And Have Some Tea With The Tea Company
Repress. From New York City, The Tea Company was one of the early birds from the US psychedelic underground scene, with an LP on the market, originally released on Smash Records, in '68. This album stands for the evolution of the 45 rpm psych-garage bands to the upcoming LP-generation with extended improvisation parts. Tea Company evolved from the Naturals, which were founded in 1963 and played the big ballroom supporting Mamas and the Papas, The Lovin Spoonful, Bob Dylan, Ritchie Havens, and ma…
Journey In Time
Victor Peraino was the final keyboardist in Arthur Brown's great, unusual, drummerless band Kingdom Come. When that band fell apart, Victor took the name for his new band and the band put out one hopelessly rare album in the 70s which was recently reissued.Now, Victor is back, Kingdom Come is back and Arthur Brown is back and it's a excellent comeback album for both of them. There's some new material and some re-workings of old material and Victor plays a ton of his old, analog keyboards, which …
Sex Power
Sex Power was Vangelis' first solo album. It is the soundtrack for the same titled Henry Chapier movie. It was originally released by Philips in 1970 in Greece and France, and sold just a few copies. Nowadays however it is the holy grail for Vangelis collectors worldwide, with prices of mint copies reaching 1000+ euro. This frst ever reissue is an audiophile edition with sound taken from the original vinyl masters.
Mystic Siva
It's the rebirth of Mystic Siva, who are without any doubt one of the ultimate US psychedelic underground bands from the earliest 1970s. Finally, this album is now available with a more superior sound than anyone of us could ever have expected. The original album release featured guitar overdubs on three tracks, done with the intention to give the sound more power. However, the band wasn't entirely happy with the result. This Lp is remastered and remixed from the original tapes, with all the ori…
Solar Music - Live
Remastered reissue of German prog rock band Grobschnitt's 1978 live
masterpiece "Solar Music-Live" is without a doubt one of the most intense, and downright mindblowing German Acid Krautrock live
album of the 70s. Ranging from blistering guitar solos to intricate
jazz patterns weaved into subtle spacey keyboard dynamics coupled with
vocals that range from beautiful melody to monstrous freak out vocals
straight from the void, "Solar Music-Live" has everything
acidhead/space rock fans, prog…
Night Works
"This disc offers the only known recording of the first version of Gila, a group that gigged constantly to build a considerable reputation as a formidable live act. Taken from a live Cologne radio broadcast from February 26, 1972 (a few months before the group's demise), Night Works is all that one could hope for, long space rock acid jamming and much better fidelity than one would get from a recording by an audience member. Swirling organ tones and acid guitar burnouts surge out of the throbbin…
Close encounter with their third one
Superb live recordings of a heavily underrated early '70s band from Germany, playing a sophisticated style of progressive krautedelic jazz-rock, mostly instrumental. Eiliff's guitarist (and sitar playr) Houschäng Nejadpour would later become part of an embryonic line-up of Kraftwerk. This LP is pressed in an edition of 1.000 copies.
Zora
32nd Anniversary Edition of the legendary occult prog album by Antonius Rex, with an unreleased song (Monastery) and original "nude witch" cover. Probably the most charismatic figure of all the Italian prog scene, Antonio Bartoccetti (Antonius Rex) began his career going to Milan from the Marche, forming Jacula, Dietro Noi Deserto (even with a single on Decca in 1971!), and Invisible Force (another lonely single in 1971). Not real bands but just a group of musicians working beyond the leading fi…

Aged 22, Juri Camisasca, a reclusive and mysterious musician, with help of his producer Franco Battiato, put out La Finestra Dentro eally isn’t what you’d call mainstream RPI, but rather a twisted, mysterious offshoot from the generally more outgoing and flamboyant Italian scene.The collection of songs carries elements of folk with strong acid tendencies, all cast in the same eerie, s…
Ingaza
Staalplaat presents a double LP reissue of Muslimgauze's Ingaza, originally released in 1999 (the year of his death) as part of the Box Of Silk And Dogs set. Those not familiar with Bryn Jones's style will listen slack-jawed at the sheer anticipatory nature of his sound collages. He was a cult artist, politically motivated for the Arab-Palestinian cause and a seminal experimenter with ethnic samples' and minimal and electronic rhythms. The atmospheres retain their original charm, full and gloomy…
Solar Music Tent
**Edition of 200 in gatefold PVC sleeve and booklet** LP reissue of the cassette edition "Solar Music Tent" documenting an installation and performance in Hagen, Germany, originally released by Joe Jones in 1982 in an edition of 10 copies.

Most tapes came in a standard xeroxed sleeve with a handwritten title and instrument listing. A few, in…

Early Electronic Works 1959-66
**Edition of 400 copies in silver vinyl, one-time pressing** Sub Rosa present a collection of Pauline Oliveros's early material, aptly titled Early Electronic Works 1959-66, released as a part of the label's Early Electronic series. Oliveros was an important American composer, born in Houston, Texas on May 30, 1932; the music she produced in the latter part of her life is akin to the breath of life, notably, through her pieces for accordion (particularly those which she herself performed). In ad…
Monstrance
Monstrance documents Mika Vainio & Joachim Nordwall reshaping guitars, drums and incendiary electronics at Einstürzende Neubauten’s Berlin studio back in 2010. The results were originally issued by Touch in 2013, with this new 2LP edition now arriving on Nordwall’s iDEAL label five years later as a posthumous tribute and reminder of his erstwhile collaborator. In our opinion, it’s one of Vainio’s most crucial and absorbing collaborations; moving away from ice-cold electronic precision and into a…
