Leila Saida
2008 release ** "This Harmony is an Italian instrumental quartet comprised of violin, guitar, bass and drums. The classically influenced violin is the star of the show, and Leila Saida is recommended to all who love rock with violin in the lead. This Harmony are similar to the Polish band Ankh, but more refined. Obviously they are most similar to the original Ankh that included violin in the lineup, but there is also a good deal of the dreamy, psychedelic feel that Ankh adopted after their violi…
Good Night To The Bucket
2004 release ** "With their experimental tendencies increased beyond measure, Vedda Tribe's sound is now more electronic, cryptic and eclectic: if the intellectual adherence to the most cerebral King Crimson is still important, the psychedelic and neoclassical ambitions of their debut are largely left by the wayside or in any case widely camouflaged in a sonic chaos of cold synths with technological and space-like features, by bassist Mauro Pamiro... The musical discourse of "Good Night To The B…
Rare Dreams: Solar Live 2.27.18
2025 stock On February 27, 2018, Chris Forsyth & The Solar Motel Band (comprised, in this iteration, of long-time SMB bassist Peter Kerlin and Kerlin’s Sunwatchers battery mate Jason Robira on drums) were close to wrapping up an 18-date tour of the EU and UK with a two-set, one hour and 45 minute show at Cafe OTO, London’s premier venue for adventurous music.
Highlights of that show are included in this live release, RARE DREAMS: SOLAR LIVE 2.27.18, recorded before a packed house seated mere fee…
Sahara Dust
1993 release ** "Sahara Dust is Lindsay Cooper and Robyn Archer's collaborative score for a music theater production based on the Gulf War, and was recorded in 1992. Her accomplices number five and include vocalist and trumpeter Phil Minton. Scored in five movements, each with a textual element that serves as a meditation for the music, Cooper, who has long scored collaborative projects involving film, television, voices, dances, and theater, has outdone herself this time. The brooding score whi…
Nel Ventre Della Balena
1995 release ** Piume E Sangue disguised as Duo Portugal in two long tracks of bizzare interpretation of contemporary music.
Il Giardino Dell'Ossigeno
2010 release ** "...scraps of ulcerated, painful, immensely precarious songs. how to continue using a polaroid to fix images and faces with the awareness that what will stand out in the image, afterwards, will be the absence, not the living detail. It is a harsh and not at all consoling songwriting by Stefano Giaccone, one of the few "true" names of libertarian musical antagonism. here Giaccone uses a technological "zero degree" that is not at all trendy, a sort of epitome of unplugged: the guit…
Jokers
2003 release (RARE - no OBI) ** "Hiroshi Nar: (vocals, guitar, organ, chorus); Yohkai Takahashi: (bass, chorus); Toshi Ishizuka: (drums, percussion, chorus). "Accelerated senility, inspired lunacy, and grotesque rock-pranks from a trio of Japanese underground veterans who should really know 'better'. If meaningful Pete Frame musical histories are what you're after, then this trio has it in spades. Ritalin-huffing vocalist and smeary-fingered guitarist Hiroshi Na was a member of both acid-goth my…
Abelard And Heloise

1993 release ** "Written drum pieces; songs and instrumentals. carefully made and immaculately performed."
Ende Vom Lied: East German Underground Sound 1979 - 1990
2025 stock ** "Ende vom Lied is a genre-spanning collection of punk, post-punk and avant-garde bands from the former East Germany, chronicling the work of free spirits pitted against government restraints and implied genre limitations. The underground scene in the GDR was a hydra, a noisy mix of musicians, poets, pain¬ters, photographers, filmmakers, punks and freaks. In the immediate aftermath of the primal scream that was punk, music often bred with poetry or painting in short-lived liaisons o…
My Only Warm Coals
2025 stock ** "My Only Warm Coals neatly sums up a fifteen year span of Emil Amos' (Grails/Om) basement home-recording in nineteen songs. Using the 4-track like a mirror in LSD therapy sessions, Amos disassembles himself and leaves the puddle on the floor for the listener to contemplate without easy resolution. The record also arcs a period of "lo-fi" recording technique and sonic experimentation that has largely gone undocumented in the larger underground culture, while epitomizing a supremely…
