The Making of Five Leaves Left
Last year, we commemorated the 50th anniversary of Nick Drake’s untimely passing—yet his music remains as vital as ever. His influence stretches far and wide, inspiring artists across generations, from Liz Phair and Radiohead’s Philip Selway to Let’s Eat Grandma and Fontaines D.C., all of whom paid tribute on 2023’s The Endless Coloured Ways: The Songs of Nick Drake. But while covers keep his spirit alive, nothing compares to hearing the man himself. And now, for the first time, we’re getting a …

Originally released in 1977 on the Ascolto label—the only non-self-produced work in Maina’s discography—this album remains a singular blend of ambient, world music, folk, and psychedelia, weaving a dreamlike tapestry of soun…
Deep Feeling
One of the British progressive era’s most intriguing but overlooked groups, Deep Feeling were an obscure short-lived band from Kent.

The Suite
*2025 stock* In 1975, Snakes Alive released a rare album with only 50 copies, blending Progressive Rock and Jazz with a mix of guitar, drums, bass, keyboards, woodwinds, and trumpet.

Snakes Alive's roots trace back to the 1972 band Aragorn, which recorded a 43-minute suite inspired by J.R.R. Tol…

Piece Of Mind (Lp)
*2025 stock.t with obi-strip* Originally released in 1972, this sole album from New Zealand trio Serenity is a folk-rock masterpiece with elements of blues, psychedelic rock and jazz interweaved.

Tripsichord Music Box
West Coast blues rock act Tripsichord Music Box were part of San Francisco’s psychedelic underground during the late 1960s and early 70s.
