Psychedelic / Progressive

Over the last fifty years few musicians or performers have created as monumental and uncompromising a body of work as that of Keiji Haino. Through a vast number of recordings and performances Haino has staked out a ground all his own creating a language of unparalleled intensity that defies any simple classification. For all this, his 1981 debut album Watashi Dake? has remained enigmatic. Originally released in a small edition by the legendary Pinakotheca label, the album was heard by only a select few in Japan and far fewer overseas. Original vinyl copies became impossibly rare and highly sought after the world over.

Watashi Dake? presents a haunting vision – stark vocals, whispered and screamed, punctuate dark si-
lences. Intricate and sharp guitar figures interweave, repeat and stretch, trance-like, emerging from dark recesses. Written and composed on the spot – Haino’s vision is one of deep spiritual depths that distantly evokes 1920’s blues and medieval music- yet is unlike anything ever committed to record before or since. Coupled with starkly minimal packaging featuring the now iconic cover photographs by legendary photographer Gin Satoh, the album is a startling and fully realized artistic statement.

Recorded live and released in 1987 in Montevideo, Uruguay. this album is the most professional record of the duo that Eduardo Mateo and Fernando Cabrera formed for a period of a few months. These two great composers, performers and arrangers from different generations, premiered with the duo several beautiful new songs, in addition to concocting together renewed versions of some of the classic tunes from each one's repertoire. It is an intimate and acoustic work. Cabrera's guitar appears many times backed by the tasty and peculiar percussion of Mateo, and there are also grooves with precious arrangements of two guitars. The duo of Mateo and Cabrera was a milestone for the careers of both. 500 copies

Aquello, his third album, recorded in France in 1980 with an impressive cast of international musicians, reflects Europe’s multicultural landscape during the late seventies. Psychedelic folk, afro-candombe, murga, rock, new tango and jazz-fusion are combined in a surprising way in a one-off album that exudes strangeness and sophistication.

Includes the classic song "The Thief", which has been covered by Radiohead! The 13th album was recorded in 1968 when Malcolm Mooney, the first vocalist of German Rock Gods Can, was in the band, and was not released until 1981. By 1968, the band had already foreseen the arrival of post-punk, no-wave and even electronica, and their edgy psychedelic sound was already in full swing. This is a masterpiece that fully showcases their edgy psychedelic sound.

In his long career Dick Hyman has covered a great variety of music fields, from Broadway through music for film and television to jazz, classical, pop, and electronic music.

Henry Flynt took a high-brow approach to so-called low-brow music. Combining sounds from his native North Carolina with an avant-garde sensibility honed in New York City's loft scene in the 1960s, Flynt created what he describes as "new American ethnic music." As a student of Hindustani singer Pandit Pran Nath alongside La Monte Young and Terry Riley, an associate of the Fluxus movement, and even a live collaborator with The Velvet Underground, Flynt was a part of one of the 20th century's richest art and music milieus. Graduation, recorded between 1975 and 1979, was meant to be the debut of his avant-garde hillbilly music. The album's title track is a slow, twisted ballad that unfolds like a funeral dream over dirge-like country riffs. "Celestial Power," the album's 20-minute closing track, is an entrancing minimalist composition performed strictly with oscillating vibrato guitar. As Flynt explains, "I aspire to a beauty which is ecstatic and perpetual, while at the same time being concretely human and emotionally profound." Shelved upon its completion in 1980, Graduation was not released until after the turn of the century. In 2013, it still sounds years ahead of its time.

"After a cancer diagnosis last year, Charlotte felt the urge to produce and release new music. ¡ÈIt became like a vital thing.¡É MRI Song and Planet Ping Pong were recorded during chemotherapy. Mind Contorted is a duet with Terry Hall, also featuring Terry¡Çs son Theodore, and Noel Gallagher on guitars, in a cover of Daniel Johnston. The song Fourteen Years is the oldest inclusion. Meant for LVC¡Çs second album — I Wish Dee Dee Ramone Was Here With Me — it announces a fresh, freer direction."

British Vashti Bunyan, known for the 70's freak folk masterpiece Just Another Diamond Day. This is Lookaftering, the second album released in 2005 after a long period of silence since the first album.
The simple beauty that hasn't changed since 1970, the use of sounds, the singing voice like a precious crystal, and the many melodies that make you think of the countryside, the atmosphere that instantly turns into a fairy tale world from the first note played... The arrangement gives an elaborate impression, and it is full of charm that will not just be a resurrection work, but will soar into another masterpiece.

A masterpiece of sock jackets that became a trademark !! The famous experimental rock band Henry Cow's 1st album in 1973 by Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson !! The reissue from the home base [ReR] is finally repressed this year. !! A great lifeline leading to "Rock In Opposition". With the tremendous influence of pioneers such as Soft Machine and Frank Zappa as the undercurrent, Avant Rock has been elaborated with unparalleled precision. There is no arrogant arrangement, and the mystery of free-form improvisation explodes without being disturbed. Definitely one of the best in the Canterbury scene. If you haven't experienced it yet!

Minima, who has joined the group "Permanent Music Theater" established by La Monte Young in New York at the end of the 1960s, which has a history of music as the birthplace of minimal-drone music, with John Cale and Angus MacLise, and continues to work as a filmmaker. Liszt, 1973 legendary collaboration masterpiece rare edition with Tony Conrad and Krautrock legend Faust !!!

When Tony Conrad visited Germany in 1972, he met the avant-garde rock band'Faust'created by the country, and this session was realized.
It seems that Tony Conrad had instructed the drummer to "keep the beat unchanged", but the drums with the shamanic and rock dynamism that the number of notes was cut off to the limit are exactly the same. Oriental and trancey violin drones that are directly related to the "Permanent Music Theater" intersect endlessly minimally. In each of Avant-Rock-Indian music, only the most psychedelic elements meet at the atomic level, and the extreme content seems to have been transformed from the existing music composition. Carefully mastered from the original master tape, Jim O'Rourke is in charge of the liner notes.
