Wheels of Ömon
Tip! Kuunatic’s hotly anticipated 2nd album “Wheels of Ömon,” takes another adventuresome deep dive into their self-made fantasy mythology, proposing whole new worlds of psychedelic drama and ritual. In addition to their core sonic palette of tribal drums, pulsing bass, atmospheric keyboards and grouped female vocals, the acclaimed Japanese psych-rock trio played an array of Japanese traditional instruments on "Wheels of Ömon." The result is a thrilling, kaleidoscopic album that brushes against …
The Happy Dragon Band
2025 stock A one man band born in the mid 70’s in Detroit, MI, The Happy Dragon Band is the brain child of Thomas Court. A studio wiz, synth pioneer and electronic music professor. After releasing one private press LP he went on to other pursuits and the obligatory obscurity followed. This is truly a one of a kind mashup of early analog synths, Floydian psych ballads, and even some proto new wave and reggae. The record received its first ever reissue and wide release for Record Store Day 2023, a…
Sonnet To Billy Frost
2025 stock Similar to the "Only The Dancers" album Nine Days Wonder went rock with there 4th and last album. With 2 new guitarists (replacing Rolf Hennings) the sound got more guitar oriented, towards a twin guitar sound. Again the songs are tuneful and powerful.

Only The Dancers
2025 stock This is the first officially reissue of the 3rd album of legendary German Krautrockband Nine Days Wonder. Originally released in 1974 Nine Days Wonder with their 3rd album took the opportunity to do a recording session at Londons Chipping Norton Studios in September 1974.

The album is richly tex…
You Are Here... I Am There
The debut album by forward-thinking English piano player Keith Tippett was a turning point in british jazz evolution. The overall atmosphere and aura of You Are Here... I Am There points at the influences of American jazz musicians such as John Coltrane, Archie Shepp, and Charles Mingus. The record shows a strong tendency, however, towards a distinctive sound that was, at the time, new, embraced by musicians such as Jan Garbarek and Ian Carr. Above all, Keith Tippett's compositional style bears …
Ralf & Florian
*2025 reissue* Ralf and Florian (original German title: Ralf und Florian) is the third studio album by the German electronic band Kraftwerk. It was released in October 1973 and it saw the group moving toward their signature electronic sound. This work introduces greater cleanliness in the sounds and intensifies the use of electronic instrumentation, namely synths (Mini Moog, the EMS AKS and Farfisa), drum machines and, for the first time, a prototype vocoder. The formation thus approaches the st…

Patriots
*2025 stock* Franco Battiato's 1980 album Patriots, his first for the major multinational company EMI, found him moving to more of a synth-based pop/rock sound, the better to create stirring anthems like the opening track, "Up Patriots to Arms." The 40th anniversary edition of the album adds four bonus tracks, including English- and Spanish-language versions of that song. Later Battiato albums would enjoy widespread commercial success, but Patriots set the stage for that mass popularity.

So Far
Bomb! **Remastered 180g LP, includes reproductions of the original nine art prints and insert** After the poor sales of their debut album, Faust's “So Far” , originally released in 1972, presents the more commercial and accessible side of the legendary German krautrock band without giving up their advanced and experimental personality. It is a perfect album to begin exploring the group's discography, featuring one of their most well-known songs, “It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl”, and is consider…
The Parable of Arable Land
Milestone! The Texan Psych legends push boundaries on their 1967 debut album. The first and finest album by The Red Crayola – the band feted in psychedelia circles for producing some of the weirdest and most inventive music ever – which sounded unlike anything else from the 60s. At the cutting edge of psychedelic music, The Parable Of Arable Land defies boundaries and unleashes a free-form anti-rock noise on audiences. A precursor to avant-garde/noise & industrial rock, this recording is a conti…

La Oprika
Faun Tempol is an avante-garde psych-pop studio project based in Raleigh, North Carolina. Their work embodies the ongoing collaborative collision between multi-instrumentalists Thomas Simpson and Carter Gaj. Their debut double album, La Oprika, represents the sum total of a year spent tinkering with studio textures, rhythmic improvisations, unexpected compositional structures, and dream-bound excursions to fanciful locales. This album takes you on a psychedelic musical journey from start to fini…
Alomoni 1985
Think about Can as performed by a shaman commune ! Two long LP-side size compositions, focusing on tribal rhythms (without real drummer), heavy-folk and electronic samples and loops. Takahashi Yoshihiro (Brast Burn) was the man behind this cultish project originally released in 1974. Buried deep in time, this obscure artifact is something of a revelation. No group information was ever given, and no production date or location is indicated, however, it would seem that this record and the "Brast B…
Magical Power
One of truly iconic figures in the Japanese alternative rock scene ever! Originally released in 1973 this was Magical Power Maco’s highly visionary debut album. An eccentric mix of psyche, folk, kraut elements wisely filtered with Oriental sensibility.
Yodeling Astrologer
2024 limited restock, last-ever copies. "Yodeling Astrologer (aka: Color By The Number) could be considered an anomaly, a one-off or a miracle of circumstance in the history of psychedelic pop music. Mij, a.k.a. Jim Holmberg was discovered by ESP-Disk owners while playing in Washington Square Park in the summer of 1968. His style and persona mesmerized the label heads, and he explained to them a recent auto accident had fractured his skull but left him changed. He perceived sound, color and visi…
