Long out of print, we found exactly THREE copies in the lost warehouse!

Etron Fou were one of the premier French avant/progressive bands from 1974-1986, & a founding member of R.I.O.
This reissues the Etron's 1st album, from early 1977. This is certainly their most dada/out album, and I have a real soft spot for it in my heart, but I wouldn't recommend you start here unless your interest is more in general French craziness than in the superb musicality that came...

"Serious and eccentric pieces for piano, other keyboards, throat singing and small drums, some Dollar Brand, some nonworld music. Unlike anything I can think of."-Chris Cutler. ”He´s a clear, melodic player with a left hand and rhythmic feel occasional...

First-time on CD for this 1987 debut from Ur Kaos (Lach'n Jonsson, Johan Hedren, Mats Paulsson).

"With their subtly nuanced modulations of unresolved tension and atmosphere of sooty desolation, Sweden's Ur Kaos are one of the precious few bands vibrating at an emotional frequency in tune with the resigned doom of This Heat's Deceit. Unlike the visceral immediacy Charles Hayward's grave intonings lent those late 70s mavens of desperation however, Ur Kaos' lyrical intentions can only be guessed...

Long out of print, we found exactly NINE copies in the lost warehouse!

This was Albert’s fifth album. It includes an outtake from the Celiu sessions, released as a single at the time.
Not quite up to the work of his first four releases (that’s because nothing is), this was issued after a long layoff in 1990, and boy – oh – boy, was I thrilled to see it’s appearance at the time.
The title translates as ‘My Life With Them (but the Them is feminine, meaning I always took the....

"Pere Ubu have really come out fighting with Why I Hate Women, racing towards all horizons at full tilt, pushing the experimental envelope further than ever, but also tightening up their trademark avant-punk attack. If St Arkansas saw them rooting around furtively in rock's darkest, dankest corners, on Why I Hate Women Ubu seem to illuminate these secret spaces with firework displays and thousand-watt searchlights. The rhythm section (Ubu's longest serving) of bassist Michele Temple and drummer Steve....

“Vialka was a drum and guitar duo, art project, and non-profit association: 15 years (2002-2017), 1274 concerts, 55 countries, a seemingly permanent world tour. Merci!”

Recorded and 'sculpted' by Bob Drake, this is a really great release by an exuberant duo who fill a lot of musical space with just baritone guitar & voice and drums and voice. If I had to compare it something, it reminds me a bit of a highly talented punk-rock duo playing the songbook of the earlist works by Etron Fou. Marylise was...

Here is the first-ever vinyl reissue of this landmark album PLUS a second lp of all new stuff.
In the 50 years since this was released, so much has happened, and artists like Keith Rowe and Derek Bailey have become relatively well known, so that the shock of this record back then is hard to imagine now. But as a member of a medium-profile ‘progressive rock band’ on a high-profile ‘progressive rock label’, Fred Frith was watched and known by people who didn’t know Derek from a hole in the ground in...

Matthew Shipp - piano
Michael Bisio - bass
Newman Taylor Baker - drums

“This group evolves in leaps and bounds. You've never heard a jazz piano trio sound like this album -- not even this band on its previous album, the much-praised World Construct. That said, there is a through line from the first Matthew Shipp Trio album, 1990's Circular Temple to New Concepts in Piano Trio Jazz.

Says Shipp, "Yes, we went there with that type of title this time. To anyone who thought the...

“Music for the silent movie Schloss Vogelöd (The haunted castle) by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau, produced in 1921. Recorded live on October 31st and November 1st 2003 at the Staatstheater Braunschweig, Kleines Haus, Germany.”

"Na Margon is a Bauta label release, written by Ronnie Ehrs with the intention "to capture the uttermost evil and the uttermost good put to music". Ehrs says, "I do not know if I did succeed, however I would like to think that certain parts of the musi...

Luciano was the guitarist and leader of LA 1919 for many years. Here he works on a project where most of the recordings here he constructed pieces out of guitar improvisations received through the mail, and then added musical materials (his own guitar, as well as other instruments like bass, drumloops, samples, etc.) and assembled it all together. Each guest guitarist gets one track.
Included are: Derek Bailey, Waedi Gysi, Nick Didkovsky, Elliott Sharp, Angelo Avogadri, Franco Fabbri, Eugene...

Long out of print, we found exactly TWO copies in the lost warehouse!

Guitarist Jimmy Agren is a member of the Mats/Morgan Band, the brother of drummer Morgan Agren, and an amazing slide player. His albums are more 'bluesy' than most of what we carry, but if you like the sound of Zoot Horn Rollo on those classic Magic Band albums, then you will find a lot here to like! Most of the tracks are all performed by Jimmy on guitars, bass, drums, harmonica and vocals; all of which he handles pretty stunningl

Long out of print, we found exactly TWO copies in the lost warehouse!

First album by this trio of Fred Frith-guitar, Miya Masaoka-koto and electronics & Larry Ochs-saxes. Recorded live July 2-3, 1998 in Chicago.

Long out of print, we found exactly 3 copies. The 2nd release by this band (The Nameless Cult) that features bassoonist Juan Carlos Ruiz, formerly of Nazca, plus piano, violin and French horn/electric bass, plus guests on cello, drums, percussion. For the most part, this is percussionless, and the sound is like the least rock aspects of early Univers Zero. Like Nazcal, this is very influenced by the earliest & most 20th century classical/creepy aspects of U.Z. Certainly a good listen for fans of this...

LONG out of print. A tiny quantity were just found in the Lost Warehouse! HURRY!

The Homosexuals created a musical world of their own. Holed up in no-rent studios and squats, they mined every genre from psych-folk and Afrobeat to punk and dub, added killer hooks, then exuberantly tore it all apart. They wrote and recorded for five years, but they never took out an advert, sent out a promotional record, or got paid for a gig. The legend has grown, and today the Homosexuals are arguably the...

Cardboard Amanda is the work of Frank Camiola (along with two other musicians), who was one of the driving forces behind the band Frogg Cafe during their most interesting period. After leaving the band, he has been working on this album for a few years now and now it is here. It's a real weirdy; if this released was 30 years ago, all the hipsters would be talking about 'drug-coma induced tape fuckery' when this was re-discovered. For some reason he's using an alias here (sorry if I blew your cover, man!)...

Another great find from the last warehouse; once these are gone, there will NOT be more.
Self-released almost 30 years ago and LONG out of print, this was the first glimmerings to the outside world of the wild sounds that Dave would soon enough bring to Hamster Theatre (the band) and Thinking Plague.
A composer and accordionist / multi-instrumentalist, this is a completely solo (Dave plays all parts) effort that will appeal to fans of Lars Hollmer, Toupidek Limonade, Frank Pahl, L’Ensemble Raye..

Rod Poole was a experimental guitarist, mostly working with a acoustic Martin guitar, refretted with just-intonation frets.
Originally from the UK, he performed with Derek Bailey as well as in private collaborations with Keith Rowe of AMM.
After moving to the United States in 1989, his studies in just intonation began with instructor, Ervin Wilson.
This is improvised duets in just intonation for guitar and voice and is quite lovely and easy listening for what this is.

After five ‘solo albums with friends’ albums released as Manna/Mirage, Dave decided that he wasn’t fooling anyone [ha!] and is releasing this, his sixth work, under his own name and which follows in the same basic mold. All of his work of the last six albums sounds like the work of ensembles, but he’s expanding the idea of what is a group by using different musicians depending on who he feels can bring out the best in the tunes.
Of course the inherent Muffin-ness of Dave shines through completely...

“Acclaimed vocalist-lyricist-arranger Fay Victor & her Herbie Nichols SUNG Quintet celebrate & thoroughly reconsider the rich legacy of jazz composer Herbie Nichols with Life Is Funny That Way, and bring it singing boldly into this century.
