↣004
*2022 stock. In process of stocking* The untitled album with the order number 2375 004 (often called "Jeans-Cover" because it was not packed in paper but in jeans cloth) is by most observers seen as the best record of Ihre Kinder and marks the peak in their public awareness. The album was most important at the evolving "Krautrock" scene. This album had a musical blend between American protest song, white blues and carefully set elements of electronic rock and jazz, which had not been heard in th…
Leere Hände / Empty Hands
*2022 stock. In process of stocking* 'Ihre Kinder's third record "Leere Hände" from 1970 is a pleasant experience. What is presented here is two language version of the record. Ihre Kinder (Your children) is called Krautrock but it's progressive in a more political way than musical, almost like the Swedish Progg. Anyway this is very nice music.
Done in the early seventies the music is full of the clear sound of rock, mixed with emotion and some progressive touches. Those are for example the flut…
Anfang Ohne Ende
*2022 stock. In process of stocking* Ihre Kinder can be placed at the roots of the so-called 'Krautrock'. As the first rock band at all they produced in their mother-tongue German and published five main albums between 1969 and 1972.
The core of Ihre Kinder were the keyboarder and singer Sonny Hennig, the guitarist Ernst Schultz and the producer Jonas Porst. Their music combined influences from the American protest song, white blues music from England and - in a cautious way - the typical German…
50th Anniversary Edition Boxset
50th anniversary boxset containing all three Niagara albums, released in a limited edition of 500 copies, housed in a wooden Box – coloured vinyl
Niagara – Niagara:Niagara was more a project than an actual band formed by German jazz drum legend Klaus Weiss. He formerly worked with another jazz legend from his mother country, Klaus Doldinger and gained fame in the German jazz circuit of the 60s and 70s. His 1971 works with Niagara was the offspring of the vision to create an orchestra made entire…
Afire
Niagara's third LP Afire is the rarest one from kraut drummer, formerly of Sunbirds, Klaus Weiss' band. An astonishing album which returns to the minimal sounds based on percussion and rhythm of their first album, yet retaining a feel of harmony all through it - this time not provided by the brass instruments that had been added in S.U.B., but though to the high emphasis put on combining a variety of drums each tuned to their perfect pitch, and the contribution of Embryo's bass player Dave King.…
Sub
Rhythm master Klaus Weiss knew he had a good thing going with Niagara. The first album was a gathering of every outstanding drummer and percussionist he could get hold of and despite the fact that there were only rhythm instruments featured , it became quite a memorable and unique record. Now for the second album “S.U.B.” he felt he had to go other ways, and recorded with a complete rock outfit plus the one or another brass instrument. ‘S.U.B.’ is definitely worth being traded for 180,00 Euros a…
Gila
*Edition with 20 pages booklet and poster* 'Often referred by the title Free Electric Sound, Gila's debut is an amazing work, full of acid guitar freakouts, spacy organ and mellotron, exotic rhythm structures, and loads of electronic effects to fully realize the psychedelic visions. From the Floyd-ian space rock of the first two tracks the record moves into even stranger realms on the four segued pieces that make up the second side of the original vinyl. "Kollaps" starts off with ritualistic dru…
Garden of Eden
*20 pages booklet edition. In proces of stocking* 'The band began in 1974 in Hagen but unfortunately this excelent album was emerged only in 1978, when progressive rock was not more in "fashion". Then this first work is sadly also the last. A similar problem that happened with Locanda delle Fate and his masterpiece "Forse Le Lucciole Non Si Amano Più". Since then Albatros is almost completely forgotten until Garden of Delights reintroduce this gem to prog fans in general and kraurock fans in par…
Electrip
* Edition with 68-page (!) booklet * Electrip was released in 1969, the same year as the Amon Düül II's Phallus Dei and CAN's Monster Movie, which makes Electrip one of the very first albums to fall within the genre of Krautrock. The band successfully draw from an incredibly diverse list of contemporaries to create their astonishing sound. Album opener "Electric Fun Fair" and it's successor "Pop Games" are heavily jazz inspired, and bring to mind some not so subtle Miles Davis influences as well…
Pinta Tu Aldea
*Limited edition of 300* First official re-release of this one-of-a-kind gem, with newly designed (and band-approved) back cover. Pinta Tu Aldea, recorded in 1977, yet unreleased up until 1983, belongs to the cohort of outstanding artworks that sound as fresh and relevant today, as when they were originally recorded. Digressing from their ELP-esque affinities which overshadowed their debut album, the mighty Alas, in quest for a unique sound that would blend for the first time the avant tango idi…
Scroll
Before forming outer limits jazz-rock outfit Badge Époque Ensemble, Max Turnbull masterminded the oddball pop persona Slim Twig, wrote and performed with U.S. Girls, and moonlighted in varyingly experimental groups across his native Toronto. While this was going on, the devout cratedigger had his third eye trained on another project—one that would span the breadth of his mercurial creativity. This “journal album,” as he puts it, is titled Scroll, and it collages together the pearls of Turnbull’s…
Flop
"The second LP of the band was posthumously released on Flamophone in 1970. It was released as a double LP that collected all their single & EPs output plus other material recorded during the band's short life-span. Great echoes of The Bee Gees are heard on their early 7" releases, but again retaining a strong own personality that makes it difficult to find such a unique sound in other bands. A double LP housed in a gatefold colorful sleeve in a limited edition of only 500 copies, plus an insert…
Aussi Loin Que Je Me Souvienne...
*In process of stocking* "Aussi Loin Que Je Me Souvienne is a benchmark in French pop. An absolute reference, without which formations like Ilous & Decuyper would never have seen the day. It is very great pop, a record that has nothing to be ashamed of compared to its Anglo-Saxon counterparts. There would be many more things to tell about the Crapoutchik System... the Dutronc episode in particular, to whom we owe the name of the group. Another time perhaps..." - Somewhere There Is Music

Celestial Ocean
*2022 stock* Brainticket have almost completely abandoned the rock orientation that they presented in songs such as 'Waching You', 'Places of Light', 'Black Sand', 'Like a Place in the Sun' and 'Coco Mary', with the single exception being the track 'Egyptian Kings'. Their sound on this album is less striking, less groovy and less immediate and more more spacey and trance-inducing, more electronic and more acoustically eclectic.
Beginning with the song 'Egyptian Kings', the album seems to embark …
A Story Ended
This is the first official re-release on vinyl under licensed courtesy of BMG Rights Management,UK, remastered from an original master copy out of the vaults of BMG, originally released in 1972 on Bronze Records. Co-founder of Colosseum in 1968 with Jon Hiseman, Dick Heckstall-Smith knew from his Jazz Club years as drummer for Georgie Fame, Dick ran through this group`s hectic recording and touring schedule for over 3 years until November 1971, when it disbanded. In his late ‘30`s’ at that time,…
Kebnekaise III
This is the first reissue of the third Kebnekajse album, originally issued by Silence in 1975. Kebnekajse's music ignored traditional musical boundaries (which must be a hallmark of the term "progressive music"). III continued very much in the same vein, but this time with a more sharply honed politicized edge. This was programmatic, instrumental music with a message. Here you'll find mostly folk tunes but also an instrumental country tune by Kenny called "S:t John" and Ingemar's instrumental ba…
Campo di Marte
Campo di Marte self-titled album is considered to be one of the best italian progressive records of the Seventies. This Italian prog classic is now available from AMS Records in a new limited deluxe LP reissue on 180gr. crystal vinyl. Campo di Marte was one of the many one-shot bands of the Italian prog scene of the early seventies. It was mainly the brainchild of composer and guitarist Enrico Rosa who gathered around him a bunch of talented and "classical trained" musicians like Alfredo Barducc…
Mandarine
More than an obscure curiosity, Ex Vitae played its part pretty well during the heydays of the 70’s French underground music scene. Led by René-Marc Bini & Jean-Marc Philippe, the band mastered its own way of delivering fusion jazz where eclectism and forward thinking were perfectly blended into an insanely precise groove. Their unique album was self -released in 1978 and has been feverishly sought-after ever since. Let Replica grace you with a piece of crazy music done the French way with this …
Empty Hands
Ihre Kinder, formed in 1968, and were the pioneers among the politically and socially engaged groups in Germany. Their second album 'Leere Hände' was originally released on the legendary Kuckuck label in 1970. The English version, called 'Empty Hands', has never been available on vinyl. There was a small number of white label copies pressed by Deutsche Grammophon in 1970/'71 to solicit releases by Polygram companies around the world, but as there was no interest, the label dropped the idea. So, …
