(Original green label UK pressing – in nice shape!)
Heavy fusion from Brand X – the late 70s heirs to some of the harder, rock-inspired modes of the earlier part of the decade! The music is still mostly jazz, but there's a lot of mainstream influence here – especially in the guitars played by John Goodsall, and the drums, which are ... (Jazz) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
Not everyone digs the later Captain and crew, but the early 80s efforts have finally gotten their just props after all these years – and we'll we'll come right out and say that this second to last album before Don Van Vliet hung up the music for painting has always sounded great to us! The ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some surface wear, yellowing from age, and is lightly bent at the edges.)
The final recording from the good Captain and his last crew, and one of our favorites. Sideways rhythms collide with arthritic guitar parts in a remarkable gumbo topped off by Don Van Vliet's unique lyrical vision. A modern classic! Includes "Ice Cream For Crow", "Semi Multi ...

Chemical Brothers still riding high at the end of the 90s! In some ways, Surrender scales back on bigger, more boisterous big beat vibe for slightly hipper dancefloor vibe – but there's really a ton of ambitiousness here. Just a glance at the guest appearances is clue of how wild the ride is ... (New Grooves) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(2013 180 gram black vinyl reissue. Includes the printed inner sleeves. Cover has light wear and some pen indentations on the back, but looks nice overall.)
A classic bit of stretched-out spaciness from the early days of Virgin Records – two side-long tracks that are filled with lots of cool keyboards, percussion, and other hip instrumentation! The record's the brainchild of Cyrille Verdeaux – who plays piano, organ, mellotron, and even ... (Rock) read moreLP, Vinyl record album
(70s UK pressing, matrix ending in 2U/3U. Cover looks fantastic, with just a bit of gloss separation on the bottom seam.)

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, Y- Y- Y- Y- Y- Y- Y-eah, this is one of best art rock albums of all time – the Eno produced full length debut of Devo – the caustic, sarcastic and fun soundtrack to society's devolution!

A great snapshot of jazzy London in the years before the acid jazz explosion of the late 80s – and a surprisingly great soundtrack that's stood the test of time much more than the actual film!

A key album in the legendary early years of Gong – that mythical moment when the group was almost more like a cult or a commune than just another rock band on the scene!

The boldest face of politics on the dancefloor in the early 80s – a tremendous little debut from Heaven 17, formed out of the ashes of the original lineup of Human League!

Easily one of the most successful albums of the British jazz rock years – but still a longtime favorite of ours as well!

A slightly warmer sound than before from OMD – an album of well put together pop tunes that still hold true to the simple basis of their roots!
