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…
Kaina
2003 release ** All music was completely improvised and not overdubbed. Originally released as a CDr with the same catalogue number, this reissue contains a bonus track. "Tsurubami is yet another side project by the prolific Acid Mothers Temple guitarist Makoto Kawabata, with Temple bassist Hiroshi Higashi and drummer Emi Nobuko. Comprised of improvisational tracks, the first, "Hitsumyo O Gotoshite," recorded at the Acid Mothers Temple studio, begins with a long, slow ambient interlude of shimm…

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.

Clear Light
2025 stock ** "The band is from Los Angeles, it turns out -- a promising sign considering the vibrant Californian scene of the time. Then, upon first listen, the first fuzzed-out rocker sends the listener's soul into a state of simmering excitement; the further one explores this piece of morning maniac music the more the colorful aspects of the band's creativity enchant. Dark -- or at least gruff -- rock tunes with heavy fuzz guitar alternate with melodic tunes that feature lush, clean guitar ha…
Music Emporium
2001 release ** Blistering rockers with wispy melodies, Buddhist chants with wild-eyed psychedelic anthems: all part of the unique acid-folk vision of LA's Music Emporium, led by keyboard virtuoso/singer Bill "Casey" Cosby. For this first ever legitimate reissue of their supremely rare 1969 album--now on CD and High-Definition Vinyl (with original die-cut, gatefold cover faithfully reproduced!)--we've purchased the original masters, interviewed the band, found never-before-seen snapshots, and ad…
Talking Trees
2002 release ** "Debut album by band from Bicester, Oxon UK, who make the trees talk and the byrds sing. British psych pop with influences of American West Coast sound in Jefferson Airplane vein (the album contains a cover of Grace Slick's Lather"), folky 12-string Rickenbacker dominated Byrds-like harmonies, breezy Simon & Garfunkel touches. Also reminds of the current psych pop of Green Pajamas. In spite of all the influences mentioned Talking Trees are identifyiably British like a summer wind…
Abelard And Heloise
2025 stock ** "Recorded on 2nd and 3rd July 1970 in Munich for German Television, the music on this CD is the complete soundtrack of the short movie of Abelard and Heloise's story. The album contains six tracks - all untitled."
Ghana Soundz Volume 2
2004 release ** "Following the success of Ghana Soundz Volume One, the second volume involved another a long journey to Ghana by music ethnologist and label owner Miles Cleret. This collection of unheard of and priceless gems visits the harder ground of Ghana, the pulsating centre that is afro-beat and afro-funk."
