Reissues
We Will Fall
Corbett Vs. Dempsey presents the second release in an ongoing series that will reconstruct the legacy known and the legacy damned of the most overlooked and under-documented American free rock unit, Dredd Foole and the Din.
The Dutch Lesson
By 1973 Soft Machine already had a long history of playing in Rotterdam, appearing at major festivals such as Hippy Hippy Fair (1967), Kralingen (1970) and AHOY (1971, Phil Howard’s debut), and no less than four times at the city’s most prestigious venue, De Doelen, most recently (in September 1972) on a double bill with Robert Wyatt’s Matching Mole. This time, however, they were booked in a smaller venue, which they filled to capacity at around 400. Part of an arts complex originally known as O…

Singing The World Into Existence
2023 stock, very rare All of these Apollo albums have a tendency towards the odd, but this is one of the more eccentric. During 1990 and 1991, Paul Panhuysen "collaborated" with a group of canaries, keeping them in his studio, and featuring them as part of his exhibitions. He experimented with different ways of recording the sounds they made, attaching contact microphones to their cages and exploring the use of different types of effects processing. More intriguingly, he experimented with ways o…
Azabu Studio Demo 1985 Vol. 1
"More unearthed demo recordings by the Japanese psychedelic noise legends Les Rallizes Dénudés. Recorded in Azabu, Tokyo 1985." - Take It Acid Is. Vol. 2 of a two-volume set.
Freedom: Born Again, The Complete Recordings 1967-72
Limited five CD set. First-ever complete anthology of splinter group from the original Procol Harum line-up. Includes all five of the band's albums plus singles, out-takes and alternative versions. Just as 'A Whiter Shade Of Pale' was establishing itself as the definitive summer-of-1967 hit, new kids on the block Procol Harum acrimoniously parted company with guitarist Ray Royer and drummer Bobby Harrison. Royer and Harrison used their Procol pay-off to assemble a new band that they pointedly ch…
Sort of
*Limited edition of 500 copies.* In 1972, the left-wing intellectual film critic Uwe Nettelbeck suggested to Anthony Moore that he should write some (relatively speaking) straight songs. He took up the challenge, inviting his old school friend Peter Blegvad over to Hamburg to form the band Slapp Happy. They were joined for a session in Wümme by the young singer Dagmar Krause and Faust as their rhythm section; the recording became the album Sort Of. After getting the band back together for reunio…
Space Is The Place: Music From The Original Soundtrack
A celestial journey is just what Sun Ra and his Arkestra have created with Space is the Place. Sun Ra's opus is at its simplest, a trip through outer bound melodies! Planetary bodies, eras in time, crystals, space caravans
Le Disque De L'Art Gué
"Le Disque De l'Art Gué" highlights in a 10-track compilation the avant-garde and dreamlike work of Fizzè, in between medieval ballad, acoustic industrial and psychedelic world music. It includes original tracks from "Kulu Hatha Mamnua" and "Manoeuvres d'Automne" albums released in 1987 + unreleased materials and remixes by Fizzè.
Compilation, concept and production by Fizzé, Orsett & FischerAnalog mastering by Tim Stollenwerk. Drawings, obi strip and insert layout by Anne-Marie Gratton. The rec…
To Assy
*2023 stock* This album is more like a collection of Fairouz's greatest hits. But the difference between this one and others like 'Very Best of' is that Ziad Rahbani (Fairouz' son) went through a very long process of re-recording all the songs with all new instruments. That made the simple songs sound orchestral. The album is dedicated to Assy (Ziad's father and Fairouz's husband) who passed away in '86. The booklet of the CD contains some photos, articles and quotes by Ziad, Mansour and Fairouz…
Lebanon For Ever
*2023 stock* Fairuz and the Rahbani Brothers love Lebanon sincerely. Their talents reach new potentials when they write songs about their beloved country. Something which Ziad criticizes very much. He says that they built a great place in their songs which long gone immigrants, for instance, didn't find when they returned. Maybe that's why he didn't include any of those songs in his and Fairuz's tribute to Assy. But certainly there is a lot of truth in the Rahbani songs. Times change and the Rah…
Jerusalem In My Heart
*2023 stock* The album in a whole is a mixture of different feelings, grief, pain, hope and glory. The quality is great except for the single live song. There is no doubt that this album should be in everyone's collection.
At The Royal Festival Hall London
*2023 stock* Imagine you're standing in front of Royal Festival Hall in London on 13th of June 1986. It's 7:30 PM. It doesn't take long to realize it's one of the greatest summer nights of that year. Fairuz is performing in there. It really is something. While the Olympia album had the Rahbani brothers influence, this one was conducted by Ziad. The musical arrangements of the songs are very clear to be of Ziad. It seems that these same arrangements gave Ziad a lot of help when he started working…
Al Mahatta - Highlights
*2023 stock* For brilliance in ballad-singing, indefinability of genre, art and sheer gorgeousness of voice, Fairuz might be compared with Sarah Vaughan. Throughout her career she was, among other things, a major star of musical plays. This release comes from one such -- and from 1974, arguably the peak of her career prime. It is also the last composed by her late husband, Aasi Rahbani.
Borne on a Whim
In 1981, British percussionist Paul Lytton and German guitarist Erhard Hirt met and recorded for a couple of days in Belgium. This explosive, ahead-of-its-time first encounter, which had been planned as a release on the legendary Po Torch label, has remained dormant for over four decades. In that period, Lytton and Hirt teamed up often, joining forces with saxophonist/clarinetist Wolfgang Fuchs and bassist Hans Schneider as the quartet X-Pact, a group that has recently reformed – several years a…
Secrets
*2023 stock* Secrets is a jazz-funk album by keyboard player Herbie Hancock. It is also Hancock's seventeenth album overall. Participating musicians include saxophonist Bennie Maupin and guitarist Wah Wah Watson.
The album clearly followed from its predecessor Man-Child. As ever, Paul Jackson's basslines were critical, and the other regular member Bennie Maupin continued to provide most of the solos alongside Hancock. Man-Child had seen the addition of electric guitar to Hancock's sound, and Sec…
El Topo O.S.T.
Tip! The visionary metaphysical western El Topo, which became famous thanks to John Lennon's enthusiastic endorsement: a classic of the revolutionary 1970s indie midnight movie movement. The soundtrack is composed by Alejandro Jodorowsky himself, recorded at Abbey Road Studios and originally released by Apple Records in 1971. New edition in vinyl black 180g with 8-page booklet and new notes by musician Gary Lucas.
The Holy Mountain O.S.T.
TIp! The Holy Mountain (1973) is considered Jodorowsky's definitive film; the music of the soundtrack is just as soundtrack is equally interesting, with musical styles ranging from primordial chants to sitar-based folk melodies, from full orchestral solids to more intimate symphonic arrangements, all a perfect accompaniment to the hallucinogenic climate of the film. The soundtrack features jazz musician Don Cherry.
