Archaic Spines
2007 release ** "Brad Rose, the man behind the Digitalis and Foxglove labels returns with another solo album. Archaic Spines is an album that utilises only a bouzouki and a hint of vocals, spreading five celestial ragas over forty minutes of improvisation. Unlike the open tuned raga variations we've come to expect from the Takoma lineage, these pieces tend to be strummed with droning open strings as you'd find in classical sitar music. For all the nods toward Eastern harmonic patterns and improv…
Jardim Elétrico - A Tribute To Os Mutantes
2007 release ** "The continuing impact of Os Mutantes' music as their work became more widely known outside Brazil is reflected in this enjoyable tribute compilation -- if, as with all such tributes, nothing quite compares to hearing the original versions, it's the feeling of celebration which such a collection can produce which justifies it, so long as the performances work in their own right. The bands range from all over the map, from some long-lived legends in their own right to up-and-come…
Tsaca Tsap
20014 release ** "Estonian pop music is relatively rare to find north of the Gulf of Finland. In fact, Ramo Teder, who performs under the name Pastacas, also moved to Finland after making his album Tsaca Tsap. But more than the Finnish rural landscape that opens out of Teder's window, the songs on Pastacas' third album have been influenced by his musical background. A childhood spent in music schools and the influence of a jazz guitarist father clearly belong to Tsaca Tsap, which Ramo has mainly…
Cross & Satellite Station
2010 release ** "Verdure is Donovan Quinn, who resides in Walnut Creek, deep in the East Bay of San Francisco. He's performed his songs with the Sky green Leopards (collaborating with Glenn Donaldson) and can currently be found performing solo, occasionally being joined by various friends and collaborators under the umbrella of the 13th Month. His Verdure alias draws influence from heavy collaboration with the Jewelled Antler Collective, that loose-fitting West Coast group of artists known for b…
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…
Nel Ventre Della Balena
1995 release ** Piume E Sangue disguised as Duo Portugal in two long tracks of bizzare interpretation of contemporary music.
Kokoro Mayikibo
2006 release ** "Kokoro Mayikibo are a Milanese rock band (I don’t like or agree with the definition that has been given to them as a case of deviant pop-rock, because the bourgeois concept of “deviance” is already sociologically – that is, where it originates, in sociology – very questionable). Therefore, it is a rock that looks forward and also looks back to look at the punk/new wave of the second half of the 70s, or to repay its debt to it. That New Wave that originated from the Stooges, the …
Songs For The Drums
1993 release ** "Written drum pieces; songs and instrumentals. carefully made and immaculately performed."
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…
