Bureau (Germany), Mid 60s. New Copy
Great grooves from the German scene of the 60s – a sweet range of jaunty, funky, and groovy songs by a variety of different female singers – every bit as great as similar 60s work from France or the UK! There's a great sense of overall production going on here – way more than

Now Again, Mid 70s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)
The collected work of a mighty trippy group from the Indian scene – a psychedelic combo who worked in the 70s, but who had the same sort of edge you'd hear from the American and British scenes of the late 60s! In truth, there's a fair bit of Anglo influence going on in the music – not

Creole Stream (Japan), 1971. New Copy
Rare funk from the Swedish scene of the early 70s – a blinding batch of instrumental jazz, played with a razor-sharp edge, and a groove that easily matches the heaviest of the Hammond crowd from America's east coast underground at the end of the 60s! At some level, there's a vibe here that's

Ata Tak/Bureau (Germany), 1982. New Copy (reissue)
Wonderful electro pop from Andreas Dorau – the teenage German wunderkind of the early 80s! The set's a bit more polished than Dorau's debut effort – put together with a bit more of an ear for a tune, using rhythms that are more in line with the new wave generation of the time –

Trost (Austria), 2011. New Copy
Great work from this heavy heavy trio – a group that features the talents of probably the three greatest living avant saxophonists in the world – Peter Brotzmann on tenor, alto, clarinet, and tarogato, Ken Vandermark on tenor and clarinet, and Mats Gustafsson on baritone sax! The trio

BBE (UK), 2012. New Copy
Splintering, echoing beatcraft from Juliene Dyne – spacey hip hop-indebted, but limitless and genre-skirting sounds – his second solid set for BBE! It's great headphones music – insistently grooving and instrumental for the most part, with a handful of guest vocalists.

The classic first album by this legendary funky combo – a group who not only went onto change the sound of funk in the 80s, but also went onto have a huge impact on generations of hip hop as well! The album burns from the very first note – the wicked snapping funk of "More Bounce

This is definitely not your father's calypso – no living room limbo or Harry Belafonte cliches – and instead, a smoking batch of Caribbean grooves from The Mighty Sparrow! Sparrow was very much on the edge of the best styles in the 60s and early 70s – and although his basic
