Here Come The Warm Jets
Temporary reduced price **Pressed on 180gm Vinyl, includes a Download Voucher** Eno's solo debut, Here Come the Warm Jets, is a spirited, experimental collection of unabashed pop songs on which Eno mostly reprises his Roxy Music role as "sound manipulator," taking the lead vocals but leaving much of the instrumental work to various studio cohorts (including ex-Roxy mates Phil Manzanera and Andy Mackay, plus Robert Fripp and others). Eno's compositions are quirky, whimsical, and catchy, his lyric…
Opus Minor
Monster Mélodies presents an unpublished recording of Opus Minor, an underground Parisian group with undeniable musical qualities, who gave numerous concerts during its brief existence from 1970 to 1973 but never had the opportunity to publish its recordings.

In September 69, at the École Normale Supérieure of Cachan…
Satan
Monster Melodies present the legendary album Satan, an absolute must-have in terms of French progressive music, recorded in 1973 and never before released.

The Cheerful Insanity Of...
2019 repress. Originally released in 1968, and selling less than 500 copies -- according to Robert Fripp's royalty statements -- The Cheerful Insanity of Giles, Giles, & Fripp is, of course, the pre-cursor to King Crimson. Drawing its influence from folk, pop, classical, and religious music, the album is a masterpiece on par with the greatest records that the British psychedelic and progressive movements had to offer. Reissued on LP by Cherry Red Phonograph.
Ile De Fievre
One of the most renowned French symphonic Rock bands of the 70's. Even if often compared to King Crimson, Shylock had their own distinctive personality. An intricate mixture of progressive complex structures and dark lyrical atmospheres. The band consisted of four virtuoso players: guitarist Frédéric l'Épée (later with Philarmonie), keyboardist Didier Lustig, bassist Serge Summa and drummer André Fisichella. Produced in 1978 Ile de fievre can be considered their absolute masterpiece.
