A fantastic record, and one of the rarest ever on Flying Dutchman!

On the set, Cherry's trumpet,... read more

A Silent Dance, and a heck of a moody improv jazz duo set -- featuring Derek Bailey on electric guitar and Agusti Fernandez on piano -- a concert recording captured in Barcelona in 2005! This is actually billed as Bailey's last public performance, as he was dealing with the effects of motor... read more

Spare improvisations from this transatlantic trio of avant jazzers -- Derek Bailey on guitar, George Lewis on trombone, and John Zorn on alto, soprano sax, and clarinets!

Haunting fragmented soundscapes by one of Italy's most compelling modern composers -- the great Franco Battiato! Unlike his later, more rock-oriented stuff, this album is a set of spare tracks featuring piano, violin, and his ever alluring voice. Although spare, the music is very off-kilter,... read more

Sharp, jagged and intuitive interplay from what a pair that works very well together -- Dutch postpunk adventurer Terrie Ex of the The Ex -- and improvistation jazz drums titan Han Bennik! Zeng doesn't pummel as much as you might be expecting, though they do make a might racket when the mood... read more

A great revival of one of our favorite Anthony Braxton pairings -- his 70s duets with electronic musician Richard Teitelbaum, brought back to light here in a live performance from 1994! The music's got an even more atmospheric than the pair's familiar record for Black Lion -- very stretched out... read more

Atmospheric reed work from composer Andrew Raffo Dewar -- music that seems to start in the territory of some of Yusef Lateef's more exotic sides, then take off into much more abstract directions! The CD features two extended pieces -- the first of which is "Six Lines Of Transformation",... read more

Beautifully minimal work from Andreas Eklof -- a Swedish composer with a great ear for the more sensitive sides of the sonic spectrum! Much of the work here is keyboard-based and the album begins with some especially striking compositions for three pianos -- two different numbers that have the... read more

Brian Eno leaves the Airports, and moves On Land -- but still keeps things pretty much in the spare sound of the Ambient series! The lineup here features a few more extra musicians -- including Michael Beinhorn on synth, Jon Hassell on trumpet, Axel Gros and Michael Brook on guitars, and Bill... read more

Probably the best of the Eno/Cluster collaborations -- and a damn great record that's probably one of Eno's last great efforts of the 70s! The record has a beautifully spacey sound, with spare analog electronics that have a perfect German 70's feel -- flowing out with an Eno-tuned sense of grace,... read more

Henry Flynt's 60s jaded art scene take on the hillbilly music and rural field recordings of earlier decades -- Volume 2 of the Back Porch Hillbilly Blues recordings -- a tripped out, wild approach to deep Americana!

A glorious mess from Henry Flynt's mid 70s free jazz/rustic groove/post hippie art rock collective Nova'Billy -- a bit of a Beefheartian take on country rock! Vocals are few and far between, and the album is heavy with instrumental jams that always find a fairly intense groove, with Henry sawing... read more

Hard to say what the instrumentation is here -- as the CD's a bit shy on specific notes -- but the sound is pretty darn nice, a great blending of acoustic and electric elements -- coming off in a set of really creative little soundscapes! Each piece is relatively short -- usually just a few... read more

Freaked out, slow burning, LSD inspired freeform psychedelia from the early 70s -- credited to Czech-born guru Sergius Golowin and the Cosmic Jokers!

An amazing collaboration between rock group Spooky Tooth and French composer Pierre Henry -- a great meeting of the minds that comes out sounding pretty darn groovy! Henry's right at the height of his "Psyche Rock" experiments here -- and he inflects the band's darker style with some... read more

Amazing work from French film composer Michel Magne -- a set of more serious compositions, but all of which still have the great ear for odd sounds and subtle humor we love in his soundtracks! The centerpiece of the set is his "Musique Tachiste" suite from 1959 -- an extended composition... read more

Classically approached psychedelia from Gerard Manset -- and odd, but beautiful blend of string heavy moods and more small scale moments of heavy percussion, keyboards and vocals -- one multi part suite!

One of the best early albums from the legendary Moondog -- a set that got wider circulation than his first few releases, and really helped expand his reach beyond New York City!

Jarring, sly and unpredictable sound experimentalism from Tim Olive -- an improvised, real time adventure recorded via magnetic pickups and analog preamp.

Electro acoustic exploration from the great Evan Parker -- joined by a pretty large ensemble of players and sonic electronics explorers -- given a master's depth and a visionary spirit that's not so easy to find when done by younger, less experienced experimental artists! Tenor sax player Parker... read more

The album's the brainchild of... read more

Very abstract work from the Punkt remix duo -- a split set that has the group handling work by both Sidsel Endressen and Jon Hassell! The first half features completely compelling live remix material from a Sidsel's Sweet Billy Pilgrim concert -- two long tracks that feature her own wonderful... read more

Sun Ra & Stockhausen -- both given a pretty compelling spin by the Respect Sextet! The group's something of a jazz combo at its core, but really stretches out here in their music -- especially on the Stockhausen numbers, which come across with the complexity of some of Karlheinz' older... read more

Amazing work from Terry Riley -- just the sort of recordings that will always make us love him forever! The album features two long recordings of the title track -- "Persian Surgery Dervishes" -- both built out of slow, spare organ lines from Riley -- played in these really modal, long-fl... read more

One of Terry Riley's trippiest albums ever -- a sublime batch of minimal grooves played only on a Yamaha organ!

The 2CD package presents some long-lost longer form work by Russell -- instrumental pieces composed and recorded in the 70s and early 80s, most of which... read more

An incredible little record -- one that has Jimi Tenor "re-composing" a host of modern avant compositions from the Deustche Grammophon archives -- turning them into whole new tracks with his wickedly creative touches! Tenor's music has always had a complexity in itself -- a richness that... read more

A wonderfully spaced-out album of electronic rock from the early days of Island Records! White Noise are a bit like Silver Apples -- mixing trippy rock with odd electronic twists that are all very much in a heady late 60s sort of way. But the "rock" component of the album is a very... read more

A sometimes delicate, and at others quite exhilarating project from John Zorn -- an always exciting, interesting and unpredictable artist -- whose muse has led him to Femina! The project finds Zorn working with an all female ensemble in a tribute to femininity, it's dedicated to some of the... read more

The strangest, wierdest, most head-scratching pop music compilation ever put together for the Psychic Circle label -- from synth pop about alien energy, to a sitar version of Lee Hazlewood's most famous song, novelty raps by people with no business doing such things, and the star of Kung Fu and... read more
