Gin Rosé (At The Royal Festival Hall)
Live concert by Manuel Gottsching and Klaus Schulze at the Royal Festival Hall.Ash Ra Tempel, pioneering veterans of the "Berlin School", became known worldwide with their LPs / publications in the years 1971-1973. On the debut album of the same name from 1971 in the formation of Hartmut Enke (bass), Manuel Göttsching (guitar), Klaus Schulze (drums), Ash Ra Tempel radically deconstructed elements of rock and blues and combined them with electronic sounds to create novel sound collages. Göttschin…

The band leader, Gotoh usually records the session and shares it with (Masahito aka Bin and Ikuma) the other two members. After listening to the jam recording, they each get inspired by the flow of sounds and find a connection to the outside world. In the following week an…

Cybotron
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Cybotron was one of the first, if not the first, electronic rock bands in Australia. Cybotron released their self- titled debut in 1976. The group draws heavily on synthesisers (as would be expected), electronic and acoustic percussion, plus saxophone and played minimalist, repetitive progressive-style electronica in a style that emulated the direction of the 1970's German cosmic sounds.
Zuckerzeit
Cluster was the pioneering German duo of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius. Formed on the cusp of the 1970s, they were a part of West Germany's nascent Kosmische Musik scene. The group would use restrained improvisational techniques similar to Gruppo Nuova Consonanza, working with both electric and acoustic instruments (organ, guitar, tone generators, cello, etc.) to create a singular sound that Julian Cope called "a huge beating heart, planet-sized and awesome."
Following the release of…

Four Letter Monday Afternoon
*2023 stock* "Four Letter Monday' was the third album by Out Of Focus and in sharp contrast to their previous two, expanded to an 11-piece group, adding an extra guitarist as well as a full brass section. This double album features the 2 side long epic track Huchen 55 (parts a, b and c) which is an amazing track and worth the admission alone. The rest of the album plays out covering quite a range (at times I hear early Chicago and sounds of Blood, Sweat & Tears). This wild album really hits all …
Out Of Focus
*2023 stock* "With an unchanged line-up, OOF progressed immensely from their psyched-out prog rock by adding a jazz dimension that will make itself present through Moran's newly developed sax playing. This added dimension will give OOF such a wider spectrum that their excellent debut album will be dwarfed by this monster follow-up. Strangely enough their jazzy impulses show in the Tull (This Was) or TYA (Ten Years After) mode, rather than a complete jazz-rock ala Mahavishnu or brassy rock ala C…
Fortune Goodies
Minami Deutsch 3rd full studio album Fortune Goodies. "Everyone has their own imagination about outer space, and each one us gets to daydream about what exactly floats or exists there. ‘Fortune Goodies’ is Minami Deutsch’s long-awaited 3rd studio album. While not all the songs on the record function as straightforward Krautrock this time around, they still manage to capture the spirit and heart of the genre. After relocating from Tokyo to Berlin, Miula’s musical vocabulary has greatly expanded, …

Broken Saxophones
Dominique Grimaud was a member of an historical French underground group called Camizole. This group of mainly self-taught musicians started in the seventies as a vocal ensemble progressively introducing a growing number of instruments that gave them the possibility to create an unique anarchic musical chaos. Their original sound could be juxtaposed with Faust , Lard Free or even Urban Sax . Well, you will find the original spirit of Camizole in this work. The title “Broken Saxophones” gives yo…

Black Tempel Pyrämid Discs
*30 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* Patrick R. Pärk’s Black Tempel Pyrämid has been insanely prolific since its inception at the back end of 2020, releasing eight albums over a variety of labels in that time. The six-CD box set ‘Black Tempel Pyrämid Discs’, incredibly, offers up six entirely unreleased albums dating from that same time period. A deep dive into primitive droning kosmische territory.
Dreamlab

Mastermind Stephan Kaske and his band present the typical sound cascades and sequences of the Berlin school. Similar to the works of several other fellow artists on the same label, the album develops a science fiction concept around the story of an extraterrestrial visitor on a journey to Earth. Dreamlab is predominantly made up of peaceful and relaxed music. The meter is ofte…

The Tribute Album features reworkings by The National, Idles, Man Man, Mogwai, Guerilla Toss, Alexis Taylor, and more.
Mythos
Mythos was formed in 1969 on the initiative of Stephan Kaske (flute, keyboards, vocals, guitar), who found two comrades-in-arms in Harald Weisse (bass) and Thomas Hildebrand (drums). Various performances impressed label boss and talent scout Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser so much that the band was able to release their debut album on the Ohr label in 1972. This album was also re-recorded and remastered from the original analog tapes. Best sound!
