A really great solo project from Charles Prest of Flamingods – a set that's got a completely compelling mix of psychedelic elements, contemporary beats, and some of the fuzzier sounds of the UK scene in the 80s!

Normal Brain (Yukio Fujimoto) —
Lady Maid ... LP Vanity/WRWTFWW (Switzerland), 1981. New Copy (reissue)...
$26.99
Beautiful sounds from Japanese artist Yukio Fujimoto – a record that maybe echoes some of the electro-pop styles of the time, but in a way that's much more stripped-down and creative! The set was issued in a limited pressing of 300 copies at the time – so was light years away from the ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
One of the most unusual records we've heard in the excellent Made To Measure series – and that's really saying a lot, given the quality of all the other releases over the years! This set features one single piece – a long journey in sound that begins with sonic samples recorded in the ... read moreCD

Laura Nyro's first album ever – originally issued by Verve/Forecast in the mid 60s, but brought back out on the market by Columbia, during the height of Nyro's early 70s fame for the label!

Comme Au Moulin ... LP Ici Bientot (France), 1985. New Copy (reissue)...
$26.9934.99
A really cool record from the French scene of the 80s – a set by a quintet, but one that feels much more like some of the more personal minimalist albums coming from Japan at the time! The instrumentation is quite varied – a mix of electric and acoustic elements that features vibes, ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Was there a more tragic figure in the 60s scene than Phil Ochs? Perhaps, but this is still a wonderful piece of his odd and sad career, a great portrait with his unrelenting political stance still in place, though not as raw as some of his other LPs. More arranged than any of his other LPs, but ... (Folk/Country, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A damn heavy record from Odin – a group here who work with some really impeccable instrumentation that means that they hardly need to bring any vocals into the mix at all! All of the elements here are familiar – keyboards, guitar, bass, and drums – but the way they come together ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Odin take on two tunes by Frank Zappa here – but the result is very different than most of Zappa's music, given that the group have a sound that's a bit more down to earth, and focused nicely on the interplay between the excellent organ lines on a Hammond 100, and the rest of the guitar, bass ... read moreCD

A beautiful mix of Quebecois prog and fusion – performed here by the core group Offenbach, working with larger accompaniment from the Vic Vogel Big Band!

A really beautiful record from Junko Ohashi – a set recorded right in that very soulful moment of Japanese pop, with a strong influence from American fusion and R&B!

The only album ever issued by this German band from the early 70s – one who clearly draw a lot of inspiration from American blues, but also spin things out with a longform vibe that really opens the door to the prog years to come! The guitars are nice and sharp, and much more complicated at ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Always-heady work from Orgone – a funk band, but one who work with all the sorts of trippy influences you might guess from the image on the cover! There's a great sense of production here – lots of echo, fuzz, and other effects – which make the familiar instrumentation come ... (Deep Funk, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
The second set of madness from the legendary Os Mutantes – and like the first, an album done in close collaboration with arranger/producer Rogerio Duprat, whose talents add a new level of genius to the record!

Exactly the kind of record that makes Italian 70s prog so great – a set that can stand equally strongly with the best British work of the period, but which also unabashedly has its own sound too!

Heavily percussive jamming from the Italian scene of the early 70s – an album done in collaboration with Italian soundtrack composer Luis Bacalov – who handled all the arrangements and orchestrations for the record!

Hot on the heels of his big hits – adding in perhaps a bit stronger of a rock vibe, picking up the beat on a few tunes, but never losing his subtle brilliance, and the wit that makes him the popular music link to a long historical line of Irish poets.

Insane grooves from arranger Mustafa Ozkent – an artist who was to Turkey what Lalo Schifrin was to the US in the 70s!

Van Dyke Parks is at his finest here – painting a unique picture of early 70s America that's touched with the same mad vision as his classic Song Cycle album!
