Psychedelia & Kraut / Experimental

Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit's own vehicle. Phantom Band ride his inexhaustible groove into dubwise, hypnotic krautrock: spacious, propulsive and endlessly funky. Rhythm as pure hypnosis, from one of the great German drummers.

The lost album. Recorded in 1974 and shelved for decades, 'Punkt' captures Faust between anarchy and melody: brooding, expansive and strange. A missing chapter of krautrock history, finally heard.

The fourth trove of Faust rarities. Studio sketches, false starts and sudden brilliance from rock's great disruptors, proof that even the offcuts of this collective crackle with fearless, unrepeatable invention.

Volume three of Faust's archival 'snapshots'. More unheard fragments from the krautrock legends' vaults: collage, groove and glorious chaos, the sound of a band that treated the studio as both demolition site and playground.

Snapshots from the Faust vaults, unheard studio moments from krautrock's most anarchic band. Tape collage, motorik grooves and pure sonic sabotage sit side by side, a document of the collective's fearless early-'70s experimentation.

There’s something perversely fabulous about the thought of this warped masterwork wandering into 60,000 unsuspecting British homes in 1973. Faust’s second-and-a-half album hit the shops to celebrate their signing to the nascent Virgin Records, who we…

November 1978. Henry Cow disbands after a decade of music that redefined the boundaries of experimental rock. November 2022. Four founding members return to the stage. Not to look back - but to improvise the present. Fred Frith (guitar, violin, elect…

CD Digipack. Wümme, Lower Saxony. 1972. A converted schoolhouse. Inside: a tangle of cables, reel-to-reel machines, custom electronics soldered together by hands that refused manuals. This was not a professional recording studio. This was Faust's lab…

The fourth Univers Zero album (1984) and a turning point: the Belgian chamber-rock group plug in, adding synthesizer, electric cello and a heavier, almost rock-leaning attack to their dark instrumental world. Composed and arranged by founder Daniel D…

* Remastered repress. Comes with printed inner sleeve. * Two records in one, hinged at the exact moment a rock band decided to dismantle itself in the studio and see what was left. Unrest was the second album by Henry Cow, recorded at Virgin's Manor …

Psychotic works of L-R-D from 80 & 81. Noise bliss and sad feedback. Pivoting into a more rich toned psychosis of sound, these sessions have been lightly remastered lovingly by Polish engineer Kurzweil Holownia.

In September 1968, Amon Düül played the "International Essener Songtage", Germany's first rock festival of five days duration, which was initiated by the later Ohr label boss Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser. The Berlin hit producer Peter Meisel heard and saw the …

Reissue of the 1970 krautrock classic. The timing was right: Five years earlier would have been too early, five years later would have been too late. But Annexus Quam from Kamp-Lintfort near Düsseldorf came along with the right music at the right mom…

Digisleeve CD. The band Amon Düül formed in 1967, with music being only one part of their artistic work. In 1969, the albums Paradieswärts Düül and Psychedelic Underground were produced. Reviewers describe it as a "document from the birth of German r…

CD edition, remastered. In 1975, the second album of the Berlin based electronic group Mythos was released. Mastermind Stephan Kaske and his band present the typical sound cascades and sequences of the Berlin school. Similar to the works of several o…

* Remastered repress. Comes with printed inner sleeve. * In Praise of Learning, the third Henry Cow album, released on Virgin in 1975, is where the band's politics and its music fused into a single hard object. It followed a brief, consequential merg…

* Remastered repress. Comes with printed inner sleeve. * Leg End is the debut of Henry Cow, recorded at Virgin's Manor studios in May and June 1973 and released that summer. The band had formed five years earlier around two Cambridge students, Fred F…

CD Edition. Often described as one the oddities in the Ohr catalogue, Sturmischer Himmel supposed the vinyl debut of Anima, the radical free-music duo of sculptor Paul Fuchs and her wife Limpe Fuchs. Recorded at a "thousand year cottage on a windy hi…

First time on CD by this progressive lost Swedish music jewel. The 2nd out of 2 albums, whereof the debut "Tramsebox" was released in '75. This '78 release contained 8 tracks filled with extensive use of moog and guitars and female vocals by Carin Bo…

Paternoster, that UFO of a rock album released unceremoniously on a custom-pressed CBS Austria long player in 1972, is the stuff of legend. It's been known to the rock collecting elite since the 1980s, when it was first rediscovered, and it quickly b…

This has a cool, underground vibe, due to the sound of the music as well as the primitive recording. Debut album from Swedish psychedelic/progressive band. 9 tracks of ambitious, spooky 1970s psychedelia with atmospheric and cosmic sounds. With Swedi…

Kluster was a short-lived project of three musicians/artists/performers: Dieter Moebius, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Konrad Schnitzler. They recorded two albums in 1970, unprecedented in their experimental radicalism. Chaotic, apocalyptic (noise) impr…

Australian folkie Paul Adolphus created some magical music back in the mid-1970s: mostly acoustic, intimate songs with a bewitching psychedelic gloss. This excellent obscurity was recorded in Japan in '73, and although it was critically acclaimed, it…

The second and the last album by Annexus Quam originally released in 1972 on the Ohr label. Sound engineer: Dieter Dierks. Reissue with elaborate miniature paper sleeve of the original LP (full color print, coated sleeve). 2008 digital remaster versi…

Truly exxential! The ultimate collection from the legendary inventors of krautrock. This 5 CD set contains ALL Faust's early classic albums, a John Peel session, and unreleased early material. The 40 page booklet is stuffed with unpublished photos, s…

Long out of print. Buried deep in time, this obscure artifact is something of a revelation. No group information was ever given, and no production date or location is indicated, however, it would seem that this record and the "Brast Burn" LP (also re…
