Motohiko Hamase —
Technodrome ... LP Wacoal Art Center/WRWTFWW (Switzerland), 1993. New Copy (reissue)...
$26.99
One of the more electric albums from Motohiko Hamase – a Japanese artist that we first knew for his jazz recordings, but who really has branched out by the time of this release! There's still plenty of bass in the music – but the instrument is used in fuller, more powerful waves of ... (Jazz, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A record with a gimmicky title and cover, but a real overlooked gem from mid 70s ABC Records – handled with sublime care in the studio from producer Gary Katz, engineer Roger Nichols, and a host of session players who worked on some of the Steely Dan records of the time! Yet Dirk Hamilton's ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Sealed original pressing! Cover has a cut corner.)
A brilliant little album from Harmonia – quite possibly their greatest record ever, and a set that's wonderfully balanced between progressive and electronic modes! There's a live drummer on the set – Mani Neumeier of Guru Guru – and although he still plays with a spare, circular ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Titles include "Life Itself", "Baltimore Oriole", "Teardrops", "That Which I Have Lost", "Writing's On The Wall", "Hong Kong Blues", "Blood From A Clone", and "Save The World". LP, Vinyl record album
(Still sealed, with hype sticker! Cover has a cutout mark.)
A nice change in sound for Debbie Harry – thanks to Chic production from Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards – who really help the solo singer find a groove that's quite different than her work in Blondie! The style's a mixture of the funky club that Chic did so well, with elements that ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Shrinkwrap has a hole from sticker removal at the top right. Cover has a cut corner.)
A tremendous set from one of the best – and most under-recognized – groups of the British jazz rock scene at the end of the 60s! The group have an approach that mixes heavy blues-influenced jamming with some of the lighter, more lyrical touches that were showing up at the time – ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(UK stereo pressing. Vinyl has a mark that clicks through the first three tracks on Side 2. Cover has light wear and aging.)
The self-recorded 4 Track Demos for the Rid Of Me LP, an album eventually recorded by Steve Albini as one of the most surprisingly raw major label debuts of the early 90s – at a time when the majors were signing indie artists and putting out bigger sounding, more accessible versions of them, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Demo versions of every single track that appeared on the PJ Harvey album Is This Desire – maybe even more of a match for some of the songs on the record than previous demo releases, given that the standard record has a nicely stripped-down vibe at times! Yet there's also a strong difference ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A real standout from Polly Jean Harvey – a set that somehow manages to have all the intensity of her previous records, but which hones things down to a mode that might well be called mellow at times – but which, to us, also seems to really give the music clarity, and maybe a more ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The second PJ Harvey album and the last with a stripped down, raw rock trio sound – and a tense, quiet-loud dynamic that's as thrilling today as the day it came out! Includes the challenging, masterful title track that's taut and chilling from beginning to end, but starts so quiet, you're ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
PJ Harvey at peak power! This one came at a point in her career when she'd hit such stylistically varied high points earlier on, it's hard to imagine what she could've done to surprise long time fans or impress the critics as much as before – and she hits the mark by diverting expectations ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
PJ Harvey, as much as any artist who has long-earned living legend status, has the kind of work worth cherishing in stages of development – and you probably don't need us to tell you that the Stories From The City, Stories From The Sea demos are much more than a mere companion piece to the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The one that catapulted PJ Harvey from a critical favorite to something of a popular favorite on both the US and UK – and her most remarkable creative stride to date! At the time, it felt like this was the one where Polly Harvey made a conscious choice to go "big" with sound, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Jon Hassell —
Vernal Equinox ... LP Lovely/Ndeya, 1977. New Copy (reissue)...
$21.9922.99
To most ears, trumpeter Jon Hassell first burst on to the world through his experiments with Brian Eno on EG Records, or maybe his 80s work on ECM – but here, on his debut for the small avant label Lovely Music, it's clear that Jon's already in complete control of his sound – and is ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The seminal debut of Hatfield & The North – a group that maybe came a bit late in the UK prog scene of the early 70s, but who had a huge influence for decades to come! The quartet are a late transformation of the earlier Canterbury sound – leaner, maybe jazzier, and with a great ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The cover's a nice representation of the music – as things here are artful and minimal, although maybe a bit warmer than you might guess from some of these pictures! Hauschka works here in a series of slow-building melodic elements – often using just a few key instruments wrapped ... (Out Sound, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The story on these sides is that they were demos the Alan Douglas got a hold of, from very early on in Havens career, and then had overdubs laid down at a later date, in an effort to get them out and capitalize on Haven's post-Woodstock success. We actually like the slightly raw feel which ... (Soul, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album

$3.99
A stone classic from Richie Havens – and we don't just mean that because of the title and cover! The record's got Richie really taking his music to the next level – moving past straighter folk lines, and hitting a more sophisticated sound that's not too far from territory Terry Callier ...

A nice little set from Screamin Jay Hawkins – done during his surprising revival years at the end of the 60s – and with a nice new soulful twist, thanks to production from the excellent Huey P Meaux! The vibe is definitely different than the Screamin Jay work of the 78rpm years – ... (Soul, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The fantastic first album from Hawkwind – a pure moment of genius, from a time when the group had so much to deliver, and hadn't yet succumbed to their own greatness! If you only know later work, the style here is maybe more closely tied to some of the more familiar late 60s modes from the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Think what you want about Mayer Hawthorne, the man's got a way with a catchy sort of tune – and each new record seems to further that legacy, at a level that's always got us wondering why Mayer never seems to get more play in the mainstream! Mayer handles plenty of keyboards, drums, and bass ... (Neo Soul, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A classic bit of southern funky rock from Roy Head – an artist who's in the same territory here as Tony Joe White on his early albums for Monument! Like Tony on those gems, Roy's got a heavy dose of soul in his music – produced to perfection by Huey P Meaux, who was handling plenty of ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

$19.99
An album of legendary status from the UK scene of the late 60s – although one that never got the banning by the BBC that it was hoping for!

Not the original Quatermass EP from The Heliocentrics – but material that takes off in an even fuller, heavier direction – and which may well be the funkiest sounds we've heard from these guys so far!

The first-ever solo album from Hugh Hopper – best known as the bassist for Soft Machine, but an equally creative artist on his own!

Jorma Kaukonen on heavy guitar and lead vocals – with Jack Casady on bass, Sammy Piazza on drums and percussion, and Papa John Creach on violin and vocals! LP, Vinyl record album
One of the few albums issued by the great Mike Hugg – more of a behind the scenes figure at the dawn of the 70s UK scene! Mike plays keyboards and moog, in addition to singing lead – and Tony Rivers provides some nice backing harmonies. LP, Vinyl record album
Bizarre home made electronics from the enigmatic Iasos – an artist who later went onto a bit of fame in the new age, but who's working here in a trippier, spacier, almost psychedelic mode! The style is often quite personal, and almost naive – as Iasos works on guitar, keyboards, ... (Out Sound, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
An instrumental record with a very special promise – one that it "will tend to induce a three dimensional picture or hologram in your mind"!

One of the wildest records of the early 70s – and it's still pretty darn hard to argue with the power of this one – even if the meddling of the producers is nearly as legendary as the album itself!

A rare hard rock gem from the Italian scene of the early 70s – definitely part of the prog generation that made that scene so great, but maybe a bit less prog than some of their contemporaries!
