Psych /
Zagara
A killer bit of jazz rock from early 70s Germany – an album that should have been right at home on the MPS label, given the sorts of all-star talents in the group! The set was produced by mighty drummer Klaus Weiss – who's at his soulful best here, able to kick things when needed, but not with as jamming a sound as on his more over the top 70s efforts – which is perfect, as the album's got loads of sweet, subtle colors from Ferdinand Povel and Leszek Zadlo on flutes, plus great electric and acou…

Abbiamo Tutti un Blues da Piangere
“Abbiamo tutti un blues da piangere” is the Perigeo second album, which continues a slow but steady evolution over a solid rock basis, moving from the originary jazz component to a growing fusion side, with an increasingly dominant search of melody. In the seven tracks of this LP the sound is still edgy and dark, thanks to a constant tension that never stops until the end of the last song.
This reissue is the result of a unique collaboration between two long-established companies in the jazz and…
The Kühn Brothers & The Mad Rockers
"Experienced jazz avant gardists Joachim and Rolf Kühn joined forces with Volker Kriegel, Gunter Lenz and Stu Martin to release this superb mixture of Krautrock, psych, funk and free jazz.

Reissued in vinyl for the first time since its 1969 debut on the Metronome label, this is a basic record to…
East
This band of Japanese exiles released just one album, which first appeared in 1972 and makes its long-overdue CD debut here. A melodic and musicianly set featuring Japanese instruments such as the shakuhachi, koto and taisho-goto alongside the traditional trappings of Western rock and roll, it's a hugely enjoyable collection that will appeal to all fans of Eastern-tinged psychedelia.
Electronic Mind Waves
Out of the mysterious mind of Andrea Centazzo came Elektriktus. Originally released on the PDU label in 1976, the LP Electronic Mind Waves offers a collection of eight synth-fueled songs that sound very close to what kraut/cosmische heads were doing at the time, think of Conrad Schnitzler, Deuter or Cosmic Jokers, and also other European experimentalists like Richard Pinhas' Heldon, Spacecraft, Didier Bocquet, Seesselberg, F.G. Experimental Laboratory, Roberto Cacciapaglia or Hydrus. Along with …
