Indian War Whoop
2025 stock ** ""Indian War Whoop" by The Holy Modal Rounders is a highly experimental and somewhat divisive album, described as a "thoroughly bizarre listening experience" and a blend of psychedelic and traditional folk music. While some find it a "wild acid folk masterpiece," others find it bordering on unlistenable due to its chaotic and experimental nature."
Mu
2016 release ** "The music created by French guitar iconoclast and electronic music pioneer Richard Pinhas and insistently inventive San Francisco Bay Area guitarist Barry Cleveland on Mu originated in just such a way, arising seemingly from "nothingness." The two had contemplated performing as well as recording together for several years before their stars finally aligned, and they played several Bay Area shows during the same period that Mu was recorded. Unfettered by genre conventions, Mu is …
Presents: Bøh (Music To An Imaginary Nordic Horror Tale)
1997 release ** "This big band, led by T.S. Heg (alto sax & keyboards) is nominally a 'jazz outfit', but since in addition to lots of reeds, brass, bass and drums, they work with guitars, synths, sampling, etc., it's a fairly safe bet that this isn't 'just' a jazz album. Mostly structured with some very crazed, free parts, I guess you could compare them to Doctor Nerve in that regard, even though they sound nothing like Nerve."

Herz Aus Glas
Herz Aus Glas is a landmark album by Popol Vuh, originally released in 1977 as the soundtrack to Werner Herzog’s enigmatic film Heart of Glass. This Belle Antique edition from Japan presents the album in a beautifully crafted SHM-CD format, housed in a paper sleeve that replicates the original LP, complete with an obi-strip and an insert featuring notes (primarily in Japanese).
Känguru
Third album by Guru Guru, pioneers of the krautrock scene, released in 1972. The last album of the band's heyday with the original three members Mani Neumeier, Uli Trepte and Ax Genrich. The band moved to a more organised style of playing, which, combined with the humour of the covers, gave the impression of being a bit of a letdown, but the content was excellent, and the album is a masterpiece of well-crafted songs with a lot of attention to detail. The aggression has receded, but the psychedel…
Arbeit Macht Frei
2014 release ** "Appearing as it did in 1973, Area's debut album must have sounded to the average Italian pop critics like the end of the world. Issued on the Cramps label, the album highlighted Area's early sound, which featured overt folk melodies, Canterbury Scene prog rock, acid psychedelia, and vanguard jazz all filtered through a particularly Italian sensibility. Those who came to love PFM later will not be able to handle the beautiful -- yet very disciplined -- weirdness of Area, at least…
Kalutaliksuak
2007 release ** "Kalutaliksuak was one of the first weird, ethno-psychedelic and proto-space rock bands in Russia. They took their name from the Ice goddess of the Eskimos and operated during the first half of the 90’s, but never released any official recordings..."

Do Not Destroy
2006 release ** ""This is the same Neville behind Pumice (Raft previously on LVD, and Yeahnahvienna (Soft Abuse) as well as a collaborator with the likes of C.J.A, Witcyst, Matt Middleton, Antony Milton, Chris Knox (Tall Dwarfs) and Campbell Kneale (Birchville Cat Motel), so you should know what to expect: eccentric one-man-band lo-fi goodness. But where Stefan's other releases have always taken the existence of pop-music for granted albeit filtered and fucked 'til broken,' Do Not Destroy makes …
Lanterner
2011 release ** "The debut release from Lanterner was recorded in a scummy practice pit and a high end media arts research institute. Borrowing the keys, late at night, this release was culled from live sessions, practice sessions, late night overdubs and mistakes. A quickly fastened mic in a practice space to carefully mic’d headphones in a cardboard box - techniques chosen for mood gold not textbooks. These songs Throb and Drift with a Lean Tension and pulsing, dreamt, attempt at escape(s), du…
