Fries
Dietmar Bonnen (b. 1958) is a German composer, pianist and singer whose music moves between the cornerstones of art rock, chamber music, blues, and new music. He has extensively collaborated with a large numbers of musicians in his hometown Cologne as well as internationally.

The Heavyweight Sound Fight
Brimming with equal parts humor and rigorous art, iDEAL Recordings delivers one of the most fascinating and historically important archival releases that's aver graced our hands, Charlie Morrow, Sten Hanson, and Carles Santos' “The Heavyweight Sound Fight”. Documenting a never before released performance staged in NY during 1981, three seminal artists join forces for a battle in sound, delivering raucous vocal utterances against the backdrop of dualing band and wild experimental interventions, m…
Space Oddities 1974-1991
Also known as a chanson artist in the late Sixties under the name Ted Scotto, French musician Edouard Joseph Scotto Di Suoccio began making incredibly diverse music under the alias Yan Tregger in the mid-Seventies. ‘Space Oddities 1974-1991’ is a spectacular selection of fourteen of his tracks, which span library music to experimental music via disco, pop and funk.
Segue To Infinity

Early Water
Reissue of on LP a classic duo performance, recorded in Berlin 1976. Ash Ra Tempel's Gottsching (Farfisa, ARP, Gibson, tape echoes with Revox A 77) and Tangerine Dream/Agitation Free associate Hoenig (Yamaha, EMS, Moog, Oberheim) layering the zones for one continuous 48 minute flow of cosmic sequencing.
Photographs As Memories
Photographs As Memories was the British cult band Eyeless In Gaza's debut album. A truly kaleidoscopic picture dominated by Martyn Bates's highly expressive vocals and Pete Becker's peculiar analog synth lines in a jungle of electric guitars, plastic organs, soprano saxophones, percussion, violin, stylophone, and tapes. An album which comes as a vivid snapshot from the very dawn of the '80s. Originally released in 1981.
One Afternoon In A Hot Air Balloon
Brilliant second album from the wholly original cult Sheffield post punk band, Artery. Released in 1983 on Red Flame, One Afternoon In A Hot Air Balloon is an adventure on its own. Artery somehow replaced the somber post-punk of the debut with a stream of melancholic pop paeans influenced by British folk and certain ballroom dances, with a spectral keyboard sound worth killing for. The secret weapon -- when compared to the rest of their discography -- is largely explained by the presence of keyb…
In Limbo
Formed in 1984, Limbo stands as one of the true Italian electro-dark-wave cult bands. In Limbo was the band's first effort. A powerful sound object based on gothic-post-industrial elements. Originally released in 1986 by Spittle Records.
Tantra
Originally recorded for a radio broadcast in Holland in 1983 in front of a very selected audience (ten in all), Total Sound represents a great snapshot of Sad Lovers and Giants live on stage. Here the band, caught just before the split, delivers an outstanding performance based on a fine selection of songs from their first two now classic albums.Sad Lovers & Giants fell apart at the end of the year, but they have now reformed and new recordings will be available early in 1987.
Cosmic Century
Reissue of the third album by the German band Wallenstein, originally released in 1973. Recorded at the Dierks Studios by Dieter Dierks, the group consisted of bandleader Jürgen Dollase, Harald Grosskopf (drums), Dieter Meier (bass), Bill Barone (guitar), and Joachim Reiser (violin). In 2022 the original analog masters were newly remastered. An elaborate work, which has led to a very good result.

Wandermüde
Grönland is proud to announce the reissue of Wandermüde on CD and, for the first time, vinyl. Both versions include one previously unreleased bonus track. The 2LP is pressed on crystal clear vinyl. This 2023 edition was mastered by Stephan Mathieu from the original recordings.
Solar Plexus
What a record! The outstanding Solar Plexus, the much-loved third album from Ian Carr and Nucleus, was first released on Vertigo in 1971. Inevitably, original copies are now very tricky to score and, like all the Nucleus records, it’s aged ridiculously well. This Be With re-issue, re-mastered from the original analogue tapes, shows off just why this deserves to be back in press.
We’ll Talk About It Later
Their masterpiece? With breaks for dayyyyyys and an almost ambient, heavy jazz atmosphere throughout, *this* is the apex of British jazz-rock fusion. We'll Talk About It Later was first released on Vertigo in 1971 and original copies are now very tricky to score. Like all the Nucleus records, it’s aged ridiculously well and this Be With re-issue, re-mastered from the original analogue tapes, shows off just why this deserves to be back in press.
Elastic Rock
Nucleus's Elastic Rock is undisputedly a milestone in Jazz-Rock. A beautiful and vital debut album, it was first released on Vertigo in 1970. Original copies are now very tricky to score and, like all the Nucleus records, it’s aged ridiculously well. This Be With re-issue, re-mastered from the original analogue tapes, shows off just why this deserves to be back in press.
May 99
Tip! Black vinyl, with silkscreen and insert. In the spring of 1999, Charles Curtis, Alan Licht, and Dean Roberts brought an unconventional mix of drone, improvisation, and experimental rock on an eleven-stop tour of Europe. The concept was straightforward, yet novel: each night, they would improvise a single piece while sustained sine waves played for the duration of the concert. May 99, culled from three shorter pieces recorded for a radio program at Amsterdam’s VPRO near the end of the tour, …
Snakehips Etcetera
The distinctive rolling grooves, growling basslines and blasting horns of Snakehips Etcetera combined to present Nucleus's most energetic record. First released on Vertigo in 1975, original copies of Snakehips Etcetera are now very tricky to score. Like all the Nucleus records, it’s aged ridiculously well and this Be With re-issue, re-mastered from the original analogue tapes, shows off just why this deserves to be back in press.
Dyslexic Action
Tip! A two CD reissue of the cassette box originally released on Second Sleep in 2012. Drug Age is the duo of Matteo Castro (Lettera 22, Primorje, Mercury Hall) and Francesco Tignola (Elisha Morningstar), who deliver an unrelenting and ferocious barrage of searing contact mic and frenetic metal abuse, heavy crackle and and overdriven bass. This is a searing hot album from some of Italy's contemporary noise masters and is not to be missed. Please note these CDs are not sealed, but they are brand …
In a Minor Groove
'Dorothy Ashby was the very best and most swinging performer on the multi-stringed instrument associated with the gates of heaven. Here on Earth, Ashby adeptly plucked and strummed the harp like nobody else, as evidenced on a single reissue containing her two best LPs for the Prestige and Prestige/New Jazz labels from 1958 -- Hip Harp and In a Minor Groove. Alongside her prior efforts for the Savoy label, they collectively represent a small but substantive discography for the Detroit native in s…
