Folkways, 1982. New Copy Gatefold ... $12.99 16.98
Great long-form work from electronics wizard Jon Appleton – performed in the early 80s on the synclavier, but with the same sort of sensitivity as his early electronics experiments! Most tunes here are relatively extended – and work together with a slightly poetic feel that lives up to ... read more CD

Flying Dutchman/Water, 1969. New Copy ... $14.99 17.98
A fantastic record – and a really mindblowing mix of spiritual jazz and electronics! The set is an amazing collaboration between trumpeter Don Cherry and pioneering electronic musician Jon Appleton – one of those rare meetings of the minds that goes far deeper than you'd expect! On ... read more CD
RCA/Fifth Dimension (Germany), 1975. New Copy ... $6.99
One of the spookiest albums we've ever heard from moog maestro Mort Garson – way darker and more complex than his Wozzard Of Id or moogy horoscope projects – with a feel that's much more like his legendary Black Mass album! Like that one, there's a fair current of supernatural running ... (Rock, Out Sound) read more CD

Incus/Honest Jons (UK), 1972/1973. New Copy 2LP Gatefold (reissue)... $29.99
A legendary meeting of free jazz talents – and one of those records that completely changed the game during the 70s! Both guitarist Derek Bailey and drummer Han Bennink work here at a level that seems completely divorced from American roots in jazz – about as strongly in the post-68 ...

Vinyl Magic (Italy), 1972. New Copy Gatefold ... $29.99
One of the most bizarre early works by Italian composer Franco Battiato – a record whose original cover featured a fetus on the cover, an inside image of his paper-mache mother, with a walk-in birth canal, and a subtitle that reads "return to the new world"!

Weird and wonderful sounds from the enigmatic John Bender – a record that seems to beat the darkest of the cold wave generation at their own game! Don't think of the record as "pop surgery", so much as it is a complete dismantling of all the best electro elements of the period ... (Rock, Out Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Fontana, Late 60s. Very Good+ ... $28.99
A wild collision of worlds – as avant singer Cathy Berberian interprets the work of The Beatles – using the famous range that made her a favorite of 20th Century modernists, but tuned towards some of the big hits of the Fab Four in the 60s! LP, Vinyl record album
(Cover has some light wear, and a small bit of tape.)
Piano Records (UK), 1980. Near Mint- ... $33.99
Some of the wildest, most outside work ever recorded by Steve Beresford – music that's very different than some of the more whimsical material he'd record later in the 80s – and which definitely marks Beresford's strong link to the improvising music scene in the UK! The record's filled ... (Jazz, Out Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Berio/Candide, Late 60s. Near Mint- ... Just Sold Out!
Philips (Germany), Early 70s. Near Mint- ... $19.99
A classic recording of some of Luciano Berio's work – and one that features some especially great vocals from the enigmatic Cathy Berberian!

Egg (France), 1978. Near Mint- ... $29.99
Tim Blake looks like he's sitting at the helm of a spaceship on the cover – and in a way, that's what his music was at the time – a way of taking off to the skies on waves of electronics, in the kinds of sounds that Blake first created in his Crystal Machine project, but which have an ...

Sub Rosa (Belgium), 2013. Used ... $11.99
New recordings of some of the most important early experimental work from John Cage – his best electronic and tape-based compositions – presented here in a style that's very faithful to the original ideas, but often recorded a lot better than most early versions as well! The music is ... read more CD
Nonesuch, 1968. Very Good Gatefold ... $4.99
Nice 1968 recordings of works by Cage and Lukas Foss. The Cage "Concerto For Prepared Piano" is performed by Yuji Takahashi on a prepared piano, as the main soloist with a larger ensemble. The sound is as you'd imagine from Cage's prepared piano stuff, with lots of cool off-kilter piano ... read more LP, Vinyl record album

Reprise/4 Men With Beards, 1972. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)... $18.99 21.99
One of the coolest, most unusual albums ever from the great John Cale – a set that draws strongly on his roots in the New York underground of the mid 60s – including time spent with Tony Conrad and other experimentalists! The record is almost all instrumental – and has Cale ... (Rock, Out Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Suzanne Ciani has cut some sweeter sets over the years, but this album's definitely not one of them – as the whole thing is an early piece from the artist's career, recorded on the Buchla synthesizer, and based on the work of Charles Baudelaire! The core piece, "Flower Of Evil", ... (Sound Library, Out Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album
Hapna/Improved Sequence (Italy), 2003. New Copy Gatefold ... $19.99
A really beautiful collaboration between Loren Connors and David Grubbs – an all instrumental set that has Grubbs playing a fair bit of piano – used in these warm, gently-opening passages that are completely sublime! In fact, it's almost as if David's taming some of the energy of Loren' ... (Rock, Out Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

Philips/We Are Busy Bodies (UK), Late 60s. New Copy 2LP (reissue)... $30.99 32.99
A wonderful album of early analogue electronics – originally issued with a title that billed it as "an astronaut's reflections while visiting the earth"! The sound here is way more outside than that, though – almost more as if the astronaut was an alien – with weird, ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
(2LP pressing – with both mono and stereo mixes!)
We Are Busy Bodies (UK), Early 60s. New Copy (reissue)... $26.99 27.99
Maybe the coolest record we've ever heard from the team of Tom Dissevelt and Kid Baltan – a record that's every bit as groundbreaking in its use of electronics, but even more playful overall! There's a slight touch of jazz at times – almost a Dick Hyman/Moon Gas sort of mode – as ... read more LP, Vinyl record album
Limelight/Fifth Dimension (Germany), 1962. New Copy ... $5.99 16.99
Groundbreaking analogue electronics from the Dutch team of Tom Dissevelt and Kid Baltan – two musicians who can be as playful as the tem of Perry & Kingsley, but also hit some of the darker modes of the academic circuit as well! The title is very well-put – as the record has a vibe ... read more CD
Souffle Continu (France), 1976. New Copy (reissue)... $22.99
Groundbreaking work from the Paris scene of the 70s – a record that's kind of post-prog, post-improvisation, and which maybe sets the scene for sonic experiments on the UK scene in years to come! Philippe Doray is at the helm of his antisocial associates here – a quintet that mixes ... (Rock, Out Sound) read more LP, Vinyl record album

EG, 1983. Near Mint- ... $69.99
An airy, atmospheric classic from Brian Eno – as you might guess from the title – a record that fits in very strongly with his initial Ambient series of albums, but which was also used to accompany a documentary film on the Apollo space flights!

All Saints, 1990. Used ... $12.99
A surprisingly strong record from an equally surprising duo – both artists who had given the world some real moments of genius in the 70s, then maybe lost their way a bit in the following decade – only to strip things back to a basic appeal here! For Eno, the record is a real return to ... (Rock, Out Sound) read more CD
