Robinson Crusoe (Lost Soundtrack)
St. Petersburg seeker Vladimir Karpov's first ever release as X.Y.R., initially issued on a almost-private run of 30 tapes via his own Singapore Sling Tapes imprint back in 2012, is finally getting the vinyl treat it deserved, thanks to the Mixed Up label out of Italy.

H…

**250 copies** Two personalities. Two different instruments. Christine Wodrascka, pianist and improviser, and Jean-Yves Evrard, guitarist and improviser, have produced a unique musical matter, both homogeneous and complex at the same time, showcasing a form of freedom hidden between the musical notes.

Désordre

Magic Tube
Delaware-based power trio Mouzakis conjured an intriguing sound somewhere between traditional rhythm and blues and garage rock, with psychedelic and hard rock leanings. The band occupied something of a unique space during their short reign during the early 1970s, and it was partly their non-standard outlook that kept the group a trio, since other potential musical recruits simply could not find a way through their multidirectional sound. Drummer / lead singer Eddie Stevenson and bassist / keyboa…
Green Eyed God
Fabled British prog-rock band Steel Mill was formed in Wandsworth, a working-class district of south London, during the late 1960s, after singer / keyboardist David Morris began working with saxophonist / flautist John Challenger, who had played with a folk group - The Garret Singers - the initial Mill line-up completed once they were joined by former Roadrunners' drummer Colin Short, Derek Chandler on bass and Terry Williams on guitar.

Electroradiance
**300 copies, 2019 stock** Soon after the catchy synth-bass line that opens Electroradiance, listeners will start to suspect they’re in for something different. The synth-bass line has a herky-jerky contour that does fit a basic pattern of power-rock bands over the decades, but the bass clarinet melody that follows? Not so much. And halfway through, when the bass line becomes a vamp, and the improvisation enters a realm of altissimo squawks and thrillingly convoluted deep runs – well, we’re not …
