A set that features two really fantastic side-long pieces by electronic music genius Klaus Schulze – both supposedly performed live in the studio, with no dubbing or editing – which maybe makes the music even more amazing overall! Schulze is using a sequencer to create a sense of ... read moreCD
Believe it or not, the title's a pretty good way to describe this modern Brazilian rock release – as the music's a mish mash of newer beats and grooves, grounded in a hip hop/dance tradition, mixed with samples of older Brazilian rock influences – including stuff by Os Mutantes, ... (Brazil, Rock)read moreLP, Vinyl record album
A mad mix of loud guitar, wild samples, and heavy Brazilian percussion – all nicely topped with the soulful vocals of Chico Science! The record's one of the group's earlier ones, and it's filled with a sense of raw power and experimentation that easily demonstrates why the band grabbed so ...

All For One ... CD rooArt/Mercury, 1991. Used ...
$0.994.99
An 80s classic from Scritti Politti – a group who'd worked their way up from the postpunk underground to the top of the charts, yet still managed to keep some of their leftist politics intact!

Round One ... LP RCA, 1973. Near Mint- ...
$7.99
The boys turn the whimsy back up a notch for their sweetly synth-soaked latest effort, and Prekop's voice has never been so confident and out front. The tunes seem longer and have a more languorous feel than their last couple records, but the hooks are just as sweet. It took a long while to come ... read moreCD

Sea Ders ... CD Groovie/Lion, Late 60s. New Copy ...
$4.9916.99
Mighty nice work from the Sea-Ders of Lebanon – not the brand you might know from the supermarket aisles, but instead a very cool combo who played in Beirut in the 60s! The group have the garagey elements of many other groups of the time – but they also use both their guitar and ... read moreCD

In a way, the record's almost a west coast take on territory The Band ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(White label stereo promo. Cover has a cutout hole and a promo sticker.)
One of the great fake live albums of the 60s – a set that promises to be a concert performance from the title and cover, but which actually just features The Seeds playing live together in the studio! Yet that little trick is hardly a problem – because the album's the last-ever from ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Later orange label pressing without rim text. Cover has some ring and edge wear.)
A groundbreaking debut from The Seeds – one of those albums that seemed to come out of nowhere back in the 60s, then went onto have an undeniable influence on music for decades to come! The music is gritty and garagey right from the start – but also has a sinister focus that really ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Heavy psych from Detroit, in the years before Bob Seger became a "lighters in the air" peddler of redneck theme songs. Cut from the same cloth as the early Mitch Ryder, Amboy Dukes and Grand Funk that were the hallmark of the Motor City rock sound of the day, most of the tracks on this ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

Mermaid ... LP Oasis/Pleasantville (South Korea), 1991. New Copy (reissue)...
$18.9942.99
An instrumental set that's partly in the mode of some of the Japanese work of the 80s, but which also has maybe more dynamically tuneful moments too – tracks balanced between mellower piano/keyboard lines and others that have more pronounced guitar parts and rhythms!

A really weird, really moody sort of record – one that was issued in the mid 80s, but by a guy who seems to think that he's still working in the singer/songwriter generation of the late 70s! For Scott Seskind, punk and new wave never happened – as the songs here are personal, heartfelt ... read moreCD
Three later albums from the Brain label, and with a smoother, tighter feel than earlier records – but still with some nice 70's electronics, and a proggish tip that's a bit jazzy. CD
