A great 80s set from The Temptations – one of the few Motown acts who managed to deliver great work again and again over the years!

Tight funky soul from this really great 70s combo – a group with a sound that's much more like the funky 45 underground of the early part of the decade than you might guess from the date of the record!

Almost a soundtrack of sorts from guitarist Terje Rypdal – given that the crime-related titles of the instrumental tracks almost have a narrative power on their own!

Frank Zappa's got some fantastic fusion touches on this sweet little set from the 70s – thanks to keyboards and a bit of vocals from George Duke, heavy drums from Chester Thompson, and even some brief help from Johnny Guitar Watson!

Wonderfully spare early jazz sides by Peggy, and the kind of material that's not easy to find amidst the bulk of her pop-oriented work.

One of those records that kind of snuck under the radar at the time – but which has gone onto become a crucial part of soul music from the 90s, and a record that's one of the blueprints for the neo soul generation to come! Sweetback are a trio of musicians who provided important backing for ... (Neo Soul) read moreCD
An amazing chapter in the career of British saxophonist Lol Coxhill – two completely wonderful albums recorded for the Ogun label in the mid 70s! The feel here is similar to Coxhill's seminal albums for Virgin a few years before – jazz that's free, but never too "out" – ... (Jazz) read moreCD

Kaleidoscopic pop from the late 60s Brit & Euro scenes – the fifth in the Fairytales Can Come True Series from Psychic Circle – from liltingly melodic psychedelic story songs, to more grandly produced gems to rawer and grittier groovers!

Maybe the moodiest record we've ever heard from trumpeter Theo Croker – a set that blends together his earthy Afrofuturist experiments with other electric horn-based modes – maybe currents of 70s Miles or Jon Hassell, but served up in much more soul-based territory overall!
