Parallèles
Reissue of a magnificent, impossible-to-categorize French classic originally released on the hopelessly obscure d'Avantage label in 1976. Pretty much the definition of musical anarchy, "Paralleles" begins with an atonal duo for trombones, wends its w…

Cosmic Debris, Vol.V

Antwerpen Live
A follow-up to the works of brass player Jacques Berrocal, Catalogue is about a highly de-structured, crazy music. They fervently use the retro flavour attached to the Sixties, by using famous tracks such as "Be-Bop-A-Lula" or "Avoir Un Bon Copain". …
Catalogue (LP)
2005 reissue. Released in 1979 in a limited edition on his own d'Avantage label, Catalogue, with its overt theatricality is every bit as wild as the previous Paralleles. Not really jazz, not rock, having nothing to do with contemporary music either, …

Newfoundland (1992)
Restocked, reduced price. "Since its inception in 1966, the cooperative group AMM has been uncompromising in its commitment to freely improvised music. Often, especially early in its existence, this resulted in a harsh, aggressive sound field, one th…
