River of Return
The long lost album 'River Of Return' of the German Krautrock legend Agitation Free. It was a reunion of the band after 25 years of abstinence with some original members. Already the first sounds show that the Krautrock style still exists, but the music and the production is light years ahead, which is reflected in the very mature production. As on the early albums, the quartet consisting of Gustl Lütjens, Michael Günther, Lutz Ulbrich and Burghard Rausch offers a mixture of different styles. T…
Carnival In Babylon
Originally released in 1972, 'Carnival in Babylon' has always lived in the shade of the sprawling Yeti and Dance of the Lemmings collections, but in many ways it is a more consistent and coherent document of the Amon Duul at their peak.

Free Jazz | Ornette!
Pressed on 180 gram vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve. Original recordings remastered. As jazz's first extended, continuous free improvisation LP, Free Jazz practically defies superlatives in its historical importance. Ornette Coleman's music had already been tagged "free," but this album took the term to a whole new level. Aside from a predetermined order of featured soloists and several brief transition signals cued by Coleman, the entire piece was created spontaneously, right on the spot. Th…

Signed to Atlantic Records in the hubbub after Nirvana's Nevermind (1991) exploded, the Melvins' fifth album Houdini was a conscious attempt by the band to make a record that wouldn't alienate their fans but that the band members themselves would also enjoy.

The North Bend - 10th Anniversary Edition
"The North Bend is about the Pacific Northwest region of the USA, where I lived at the time the album was made. Still, today I consider that region my spiritual home, even though I am now living on the East Coast.I had met Lawrence English in Poland back in 2009 and he kindly invited me to make a record for the label.
