Health and Efficiency

This Heat
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* Long-awaited reissue of the first This Heat, an astonishing band that displayed a unique musicality where strong beats, heart-stopping songs, improvisation and relentless sound manipulation all coexisted!

Fusioon
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* Fusioon second album, released in 1974. Whereas the previous album had an appealing, jumbled style that incorporated a variety of elements, this album has a Canterbury-style sound, centred on the organ, and has a somewhat EGG-like intelligence. The ensemble has evolved to new heights, with a somewhat misanthropic sense of humour that is evident in the cover artwork. Remas…
