Official reissue of this Christian underground basement psychedelic rock album, a massively-rare 1974 release on the Missouri-based American Artists label (AAS1164), of which only 2 or three copies are known to be exist in private collections.

Dino & Montevideo Blues
Among the greatest artefacts of 1970s Latin American music, Lion Production’s first ever vinyl reissue of Montevideo Blues lone, self-titled LP, stands as a rare document of revolutionary music being made in Uruguay, and a crucial counterpoint to the sounds of Tropicália from Brazil. Fusing the rawness of rock with indigos Uruguayan rhythms, not to mention plenty of heavy grooves, it’s easily one of the most captivating records of its day.

49th Parallel
* 2021 Stock. One of the top Canadian rock albums of the psychedelic era. Comes with color insert with band history and photos * In the spring of 1969, 49th Parallel had a hit in with ‘Twilight Woman’, a lovely song that sounds like a poppier version of what bands like Tomorrow were doing in England. That success led to the release of 49th Parallel’s only album. All hyperbole aside, it is easily one of the top Canadian rock albums of the psychedelic era. The album is strong throughout—from the p…

Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy) LP
*Remastered & Pressed on 180gram vinyl. Includes Download Voucher" Continuing the twisted pop explorations of Here Come the Warm Jets, Brian Eno's sophomore album, Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy), is more subdued and cerebral, and a bit darker when he does cut loose, but it's no less thrilling once the music reveals itself. It's a loose concept album -- often inscrutable, but still playful -- about espionage, the Chinese Communist revolution, and dream associations, with the more stream-of-…
Dust World
In the 1930s, the Dust Bowl was the most devastating man-made ecological catastrophe in human history. In 2020, Dust World. After pioneering the now thriving form of underground-band-as-character-based-performance-art, and filling 2017-2019 with a staggering number of wigged-up Banny Grove shows in support of a self-released record and a 7" EP, Banny Grove leader Louise Chicoine decided to trade in the costume and the cartoonish-ness that were her signatures in order to break ground on a more pr…
Early Worm
Having explored a lot of Southern Vermont-based artists over the past decade and a half, it now seems time to cast our gaze northward. From the cold shores of Champlain comes the music of Wren Kitz, a singer and guitarist from Burlington VT. Unlike much of his earlier work, which falls into what might be called a 'progressive/experimental folk bag,' Early Worm documents a harder sound. As Mr. Kitz says, 'It's my rock n roll album.' And he ain't kidding. While some of the tunes were initially dev…

Materiale per tre esecutori e nastro magnetico
Hailed in the early seventies as the best Italian group of 'avant-garde' jazz rock along with Area and Perigeo, in the mid-seventies, with the release of their second album, Dedalus started a much more uncompromisingly experimental approach to music through the use and combination of disparate musical materials: improvisation, electronic music and musique concrète techniques, elements of contemporary classical composition, folk tunes, jazz, use of self-built and modified instruments for research…
Ragnarok
Silence present a vinyl reissue of Ragnarök's self-titled debut
album, originally released on the same label in 1976. Some music never
becomes dated and this debut record by Ragnarök from Kalmar in Sweden is
just filled with that kind of music. Many listeners have tried to
describe the music they have carried in their hearts throughout a whole
life or just discovered. They all say it does not sound like anything
else they have heard, some say it sounds like looking at water, others
that i…
Time of the Last Persecution
Time of the Last Persecution is Bill Fay's second and final album for the Deram label, originally released in 1971. An absolute classic of melancholy (borderline morbid) folk-rock that falls somewhere between Pearls Before Swine, Leonard Cohen, and a suicide prevention hotline. Time of the Last Persecution is almost single-mindedly obsessed with end times so it's fitting that this brilliant album would be his last release for over 30 years.
