Modern Sun (Netherlands), 2018. New Copy ... $22.99
Skymark is Marc Friedli – a European keyboardist with a real love of vintage instruments – Arp, Moog, Prophet, Roland, and more – all of which he brings to bear nicely in this very groovy set!

Stones Throw, 2017. Sealed ... $11.99
A record that's as stark as its cover – a very cool collaboration from LA beatmaker GB (Gifted & Blessed) and British singer Yeofi Andoh – done in a style that may well be opening up whole new frontiers for underground cosmic soul!

When The Funk Hits The Fan ... LP Ruffhouse/Columbia, 1997. Near Mint- 2LP ... Just Sold Out!
Hip stuff, and a great mix of soul, funk, jazz, and hip hop. Ursula Rucker sings vocals on a number of tracks, and the record spans a number of styles without stretching itself too thin.

It's A World Before You ... LP First Word (UK), 2018. New Copy 2 LPs ... $22.99
Kaidi Tatham hasn't given us many albums under his own name over the years – but each one is a great cause for celebration – as his musical vision is so fresh and bold, we're even more in love with Tatham in a full length setting, compared to his many 12" singles!

Tokyo Dawn, 2019. New Copy ... $13.99 15.00

Tru Thoughts (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $19.99 20.99
A group that's every bit as trippy as you might guess from their name, and the cover image on the set – working here in a post-jazz mode that's similar to other projects over the years from the Tru Thoughts label, especially the instrumental musings from the Nostalgia 77 side of the universe! ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Mo Wax/Island, 1998. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $26.99 34.99
One of the principal albums in trip hop's ascension into the mainstream, and the bright, extroverted flipside to Portishead's darker vision of the late 90s scene.

Cotter, 2018. Sealed ... $11.99
The most summery, breeziest, soul jazz-steeped sounds we've heard from Pat Van Dyke! Pat covers a lot of territory on Hello Summer, a lot of it with a 70s jazzy soul vibe, but stretching much farther – with strains of reggae and breakbeat funk, bossa and more – and it's anything but a ...

Hannibal/Luaka Bop, 2001. New Copy Gatefold ... $19.99
