Slightly All The Time, Recordings 1970-1974
Between 1970 and 1973 Soft Machine recorded five albums for CBS, and across those five records the band changed almost beyond recognition. Third still had Robert Wyatt singing on one side of it; by Seven there were no vocals, no Wyatt, no Elton Dean and no Hugh Hopper, and the group was playing a dense, written, riff-driven music that had more to do with Miles Davis's electric bands than with anything else coming out of England. This box follows that arc in detail. All five albums are here, rema…
Exotic Moods
JJ Whitefield dives deep into the golden era of library music, drawing inspiration from KPM, De Wolfe, Bruton Music, CAM and the composers who shaped the genre. Slow Moods presents 14 original instrumentals packed with atmospheric grooves, exotic touches and meticulously layered overdubs. East Asian and East African influences meet locked-in rhythms and sharp arrangements.
In A Not C
More than 25 years after the start of collaboration with Acid Mothers Temple mastermind Makoto Kawabata (including the INUI series and the classic Kawabata/Youngs release) comes the first proper VHF LP by the prolific quintet. One of an occasional series of “minimalism” inspired LPs by the group, In A Not C is a not a barely changing drone, but a wild ride with the band in full flight, rushing along in a glorious swirl of psychedelic madness.
Like the band’s well-known 2001 version of Terry Rile…
The Faust Tapes
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 were looking to take advantage of the zeitgeist for German music at that time. Undeterred by the fact the band’s unwillingness to engage with the commercial landscape had seen them dropped from Polydor, Branson and co cooked up a suitably spectacular m…
Health and Efficiency
For some fans, Health And Efficiency is This Heat's peak achievement - their most concentrated blast of visceral intensity and wayward experimentalism. Featuring two long pieces, the EP came out in September 1980. It was released on Piano, the imprint founded by David Cunningham of Flying Lizards, and distributed by Rough Trade, home of the burgeoning post-punk movement and fellow travelers like The Raincoats, Scritti Politti, Cabaret Voltaire and The Red Crayola.

Orgasm
*2026 stock* Certainly one of the greatest UFOs in music history—Cromagnon and its concept album “Orgasm” dating back to 1969—about what was to happen thirty years later: a blend of industrial, metal, and experimental music, bathed in improvised LSD-fueled experiences. “The project wasn’t supposed to be smooth, otherwise humanity is lost. There’s room for computers, but the soul is gone.”
Visions Of Sodal Ye
Originally self-produced in 150 copies (1977), Mar-Vista’s only album is one of France’s most strange and radical records. Psychedelic electronic music, experimental, and acid folk — a collector’s grail for fans of Klaus Schulze, Terry Riley, Neu, Heldon and Silver Apples.
St. John Green
The album “St. John Green” is the only release by the American band of the same name, and is regarded as a minor cult classic of 1960s psychedelia. It was released in 1968 by the small label Flick-disc. Released at the height of the flower power era, the record perfectly captures the musical and cultural atmosphere of the late 1960s. The album blends various elements typical of psychedelia with sonic experimentation, garage lysergic influences and a free-spirited approach to songwriting.
Dedicated to You ...
Famed Jazz pianist Keith Tippett is one of the greatest and most innovative figures in modern jazz. His work has also seen him cross into the world of Progressive Rock, working with King Crimson and his own outfit Centipede.
‘Dedicated to You, But You Weren’t Listening’ took its name from the Soft Machine track of the same name and was the group’s second album. Recorded for the legendary Vertigo label, the album featured such celebrated alumni as Elton Dean on Alto Saxophone, Marc Charig on Corn…
Songs Before Bed (2022)
Songs Before Bed (2022) marks Otto Benson’s first physical release under his own name, following earlier work under aliases including Memo Boy, OTTO, and Pudding Club.
Originally published as a digital-only release through Otto's own WNOADIARWB website and platforms on New Year's Eve 2022, Songs Before Bed bridges the gap between the more experimental psychedelic electronic works of OTTO and his most recent release, the acclaimed Peanut, released on NYE 2025. Blending brief pop fragments with me…
Totem Three
This is the final offering before entering the new wave of the failed future from MMOB. Totem Three journeys from quiet Bardo womb choosing meditations and instrumental mantras to the delusional glee of Kali Yugafied Indian rock. Totem Three is the most diverse and heartfelt of the Totem trilogy. A steady pulsating musical mirror prison expressing the atrophy of our "modern world" through No-Age hallucinations of passionate and unfolding melodies. A blissful mirage filled caravan with no destin…

The Velvet Underground & Nico
45th Anniversary Remaster Over Half a century later, this record still slays; if any album is deserving of the "classic" tag, it's The Velvet Underground & Nico. Lou Reed's affected vocals, Nico's female Lugosi-style recitations, John Cale's droning strings, Moe Tucker's minimal kit - this landmark work laid down paths that musicians today are still trying to follow. Just pick any track: "I'm Waiting For The Man," "Sunday Morning," "Venus In Furs," "All Tomorrow's Parties," "There She Goes Again…
Here In The Valley
Here In The Valley is the debut full-length release from helllhound, the intimate sonic collaboration of life partners Cadmar Fitzhugh and Nailah Hunter. Born out of a seismic shift from urban Los Angeles to a remote mountain town in the Sierra National Forest, the record reflects a period of profound transition—into the wilderness, into parenthood, and into a deeper communion with self.
Woven together through acoustic guitar, harp, voice, and gentle electronics, Here In The Valley evokes the …
Savage Sons Of Ya Ho Wa
Musically, YaHoWa13 go it on their own, with Octavius, Sunflower, Djinn, and Rhythm collaborating with Electron, who supplies powerful lead vocals. What's here is a collection of powerful rock songs that will echo in your consciousness, like the opening track, 'Edge of a Dream,' and the refrain 'I want to see/What's going on.' The guttural nature of Electron's vocal sound may recall the name of Beefheart to some, and Electron is occupying the same unconsciousness, free in the communal slipstream…
Valtakunta
Black Vinyl. Eero Koivistoinen is one of the foundational figures of Finnish jazz - a saxophonist, composer and arranger whose career spans six decades and whose influence on the Nordic scene is impossible to overstate. Valtakunta, originally released in 1967 on Otavan Kirjalliset Äänilevyt (a book publisher, of all places), was his very first album, and it has remained one of the most elusive and sought-after records in the Finnish discography ever since - available only through a scarce CD rei…
Whirpool Ocean
First time on vinyl for these incendiary hard psych rock tracks, which made their only other appearance in Australia in 1999 on CD as part of the “Sky Pilot” compilation released by Camera Obscura Records.
With each passing year since his death, the intense and inspiring musical legacy of Jesus Acedo is in danger of slipping into darkness. That’s where we at Lion Productions come in — together with Rich Hopkins and San Jacinto Records — to do our utmost to keep the Lambent Flame burning, so to …

Issue 72 (Magazine)
Audion 73 is where Audion Magazine’s global circuitry really starts to glow. First published on 3 March 2023 as a 48‑page A4 pdf, the issue threads book criticism, deep historical reappraisal and present‑tense scene reports into one restless survey. It opens, fittingly, on the printed word with “A Fistful of Spaghetti” - an extended book‑review section that uses recent titles on Italian cinema, music and counterculture as a prism, talking through how giallo soundtracks, spaghetti western scores …
