Toni Esposito (Rosso Napoletano) LP
* Red vinyl, numbered * Recorded At Sudios Chantalain - Roma - September-October 1974. Italian master percussionist (as well as Luciano Cilio percussionist) Toni Esposito`s first solo album. "Jazz and the Mediterranean: two worlds merging into one with the suspended atmospheres of "Rosso napoletano". A magical record, capturing the most alluring aspects of Bitches Brew-era Miles Davis and elevating them to an almost mystical lightness. Hypnotic funky grooves and a miniaturistic work on percussio…
Glastonbury Fayre Festival
** Perfect replica of the original. Black vinyl** Originally released as a triple album, this record has been re-released in abridged versions of this impressive 1972 live festival.

Stone Garden
** 2021 Stock ** Stone Garden started in a basement studio in Prague with a nearly continuous session over several days and nights. The original concept was influenced by the raw and seemingly endless jams of psychedelic pioneers. The freeform songs that emerged from these sessions were refined over several months at the band's home in Tokyo where each song was sculpted into an uncommon form. Compared to the relatively song-based House In The Tall Grass (2016), Stone Garden is a window into Kika…
Masana Temples
** 2021 Stock ** The shifting dimensions of Masana Temples, fourth album from psychedelic explorers Kikagaku Moyo,are informed by various experiences the band had with traveling through life together, ranging from the months spent on tour to making a pilgrimage to Lisbon to record the album with jazz musician Bruno Pernadas. The band sought out Pernadas both out of admiration for his music and in an intentional move to work with a producer who came from a wildly different background. With Masana…

Soar in Nottingham (UK) on May 17th 2019.
Tokugoya
Two names to conjure with collided live in Tokyo on 14th March 2019, with sprawling psychedelic masters Acid Mothers Temple coming together once more, a full decade after the release of the live album Underdogg Express in 2009, with the founder of the legendary Krautrock band Guru Guru. ‘A fiery psychedelic collaboration recorded in the spirit of early Guru Guru’ ensued. Edited neatly into four tracks – two per side of vinyl – it’s being released on limited edition vinyl for the French ‘Disquair…

Lieder von Vampiren, Nonnen und Toten
** 2021 Stock ** Released under Bernd Witthuser’s name, this was actually the first collaborative effort with his partner in-crime Walter Westrupp (their infamous “W&Ws Pop-Cabaret”). An enchanting collection of acoustic folk songs, albeit with a touch of black humour, on the subjects, you guessed it, vampires, nuns and death based on texts by Baltus Brosel, Heinrich Heine, Novalis and Thomas Rother… Simple and haunting melodies with a spellbinding cosmic touch. Limited to 500 copies – Gatefold …

Geyer-Symphonie
Floh de Cologne were a German group that combined political satire with rock music and this, their fifth record goes one step further as it is ostensibly a concept album. Given that the liner notes do nothing to explain the theme therein, it’s next to impossible for the non-German speaking listener to glean just what’s going on. The album is punctuated by skits and snippets of spoken word, which further makes it difficult to embrace this record (let alone comprehend). When the music takes over i…
Buddha...

The leaders of "Acid Mothers Temple", Makoto Kawabata and the Spacey Synthesizer Maestro Hiroshi Higashi created another dimension as a unit "Uchu" (Space), without any use of synthesizer, sampler or programming but only the Guitars.

Uchu + Buddha...
The leaders of "Acid Mothers Temple", Makoto Kawabata and the Spacey Synthesizer Maestro Hiroshi Higashi created another dimension as a unit "Uchu" (Space), without any use of synthesizer, sampler or programming but only the Guitars. Guitar, Voice – Hiroshi Higashi, Makoto Kawabata Voice – Ayano.Uchū 宇宙 is the first album of Uchū that is the first side unit of Acid Mothers Temple's Soul Collective. The band cut-up their lyrics. They got this idea from Kawabata's experience to play "improvised ra…
2
** 2021 Stock ** Pioneer Erkin Koray may have been the first Turkish rock artist, he and his band reputedly playing Fats Domino and Elvis covers in 1957; by combining rock ‘n’ roll and Turkish traditional music, he spearheaded Anatolian rock and became the leading Turkish psychedelic practitioner. East-west hybrid Elektronik Turkuler was an innovative concept album marrying rock with Turkish trad; in contrast, the 1976 release 2 is thoroughly grounded in Turkish traditional music, the understate…
Starsailor
Remastered CD Starsailor is a culmination of Buckley's experiments and with former Mothers of Invention Bunk Gardner on sax and alto flute, the story is complete. This album endures as one of the most legendary albums ever made by a singer/songwriter. Tim Buckley's most experimental album and one of his most artistically successful. Buckley's recorded output was uneven; he never quite comfortably fit into the singer-songwriter mold and tried out all sorts of musical personas during a cut-short c…
Processione sul Mare
A stunning artefact from 1970s Italian scene, this first ever vinyl reissue of Toni Esposito’s incredible and sinfully overlooked 1976 LP, "Processione sul Mare", ripples with mind-blowing polyrhythms and genre-defiant tonal interventions, as it intertwines the ecstatic with free-flowing jazz, prog-rock, and experimental gestures. A true revelation rescued from depths of obscurity by a visionary artist who worked with everyone from Luciano Cilio to Don Cherry, it can’t be missed.
Agora' 2
Tip! After the moderate success of the debut album "Live in Montreux", Agorà published their first and only studio work in 1976. The possibilities offered by the recording studio seemed more congenial to their proposal, which turns out to be a deeply matured LP, technically flawless and with songs that still belong to the best Italian jazz-rock, with a more intense jazz component at the expense of the progressive one.Unfortunately, both "Agorà 2" and the single "Cavalcata Solare" taken from thi…
Cosmic Michael / After A While
One of the strangest albums you will ever hear. In 1969 and 1970, Cosmic Michael released two bizzare albums of unknown origin. Late-'60s New York-based flower child Cosmic Michael is one of the scads of ultra-obscure recording artists from the original psychedelic era whose records were swept under the rug of time completely. Copies left from the astonishingly small initial pressings have been trading hands among collectors for obscene amounts of money, ranking Cosmic Michael's crude, handmade…
Franco Battiato
Franco Battiato also known as "Za" was the first album for Ricordi, and the Franco Battiato's conceptualism becomes very rigorous and authoritative. It is made of two long tracks, Za, in the author's own words "Apparently poor. Almost completely made up of one chord. Deliberately percussive (the right pedal is never used), it divides and subtracts resonances, with a technique of release. It needs a listening that I would define meta-analytical, in favor of a timeless non-spatiality". On the B-si…
M.elle Le "Gladiator"
Before Franco Battiato went flying into the sun of mininalist avant prog... he gave us this absolute classic of an album. A dense ambient electronic album with some avant sections that hint broadly on where he would be heading in the years down the road. This album was the culmiination of his early electronic period. The avant hints that were dropped in Sulle Corde di Aries are even more pronounced here, and possbily more fully realized. A incredible album.
The opening track, Goutez Et Comparez,…
La Norma Del Cielo (Volo Magico N. 2) LP
* High quality vinyl reissue with remastered sound. Gatefold Cover * Always influenced by eastern doctrines (he later became a Hare Krishna), Claudio Rocchi was also active in anti-war movements and always present at various italian pop festivals during the early 70's. His second album, released in 1971 and titled "Volo magico n.1", is usually considered as his best effort, in much the same style as Alan Sorrenti's "Aria" with a side-long title track and softer tracks on the other side. "Volo Ma…
