Factory/Mute, 1982. New Copy ... $13.99 14.98
Quite possibly the funkiest album ever by the groundbreaking British group A Certain Ratio – filled with lots of heavy post-disco bass and percussion, all rattling away with the energy of some of the best work on Ze Records a the time! The group's dark moody feel is still largely in place, ... read more CD
Also available Sextet (colored vinyl pressing) ... LP 23.99
Mute, 1996. Used ... $1.99
A further refinement of the cinematic sounds of Barry Adamson – a set that moves past his earlier filmic modes, and brings in some elements of the 90s British scene as well! By the time of this album, Adamson had influenced so many others with his return to organic modes and classic styles ... read more CD

Miramax, 2005. Used ... $1.99
Fermata/Discobertas (Brazil), 1968. New Copy ... $16.99
A Brazilian instrumental rock combo from the 60s, and one who are equally heavy on horns as they are on guitars – all of which makes for a mighty cool sound overall! The group's a biggish one – with tenor sax, trumpet, and baritone stepping out next to driving drums, bass, and electric ... (Brazil, Rock) read more CD
GAD (Poland), 1970s/1980s/Early 90s. New Copy ... $16.99
A string of obscure work from Polish singer/songwriter Marek Alaszewski – best known for his contributions to the legendary hard rock group Klan – but heard here in a variety of different settings! Some of the music here feels like Klan, but other tracks are maybe more personal too ... read more CD

Also available Landfall ... LP 26.99
EMI/RPM (UK), Late 60s. New Copy ... $6.99 14.99
A treasure trove of lost work from the UK scene of the 60s – some of it fuzzy and freaky, and a fair bit of it funky too! Singer Tim Andrews really had a great way of pairing up with just the right musicians for a groove – as some of the tracks here mix psych impulses with mod-styled ... read more CD

Capitol/Bear Family (Germany), 1950s. New Copy ... $19.99 22.99
Plenty of folks jumped on the rock and roll bandwagon in the 50s, and most of them slid right off – but somehow trumpeter Ray Anthony managed to do a better job than most – as you'll hear here on this great collection of Capitol recordings from the postwar years! It might be Capitol to ... (Jazz, Rock) read more CD

EMI/Dusk Fire (UK), 1971. New Copy ... $15.99
One of the most creative albums ever from UK composer Neil Ardley – and that's saying a lot, given the complexity of his other work! The set's got a wonderful blend of jazz arrangements and some freer passages – scored by Ardley with some of his most sensitive, most beautiful music ... (Jazz, Rock) read more CD
Dusk Fire/BBC (UK), 1971. New Copy ... $14.99
Fantastic live recordings from the legendary New Jazz Orchestra of Neil Ardley – a key force that united the worlds of British avant jazz and rock at the start of the 70s – but with a style that leaned a lot more towards the world of the former overall! Many of these players are ... (Jazz, Rock) read more CD

(Out of print, small cutout hole through case.)
Mainstream/Early Dawn, 1968. New Copy ... $12.99
One of the best psych treasures on late 60s Mainstream Records – a sunny, fuzzy album that's beyond compare! The Art Of Loving have a mixed male/female vocal style at their head – a sound that's somewhere in the Mamas & Papas mode, but a bit more stripped down – and crafted ... read more CD

Warner/Varese, 1969. New Copy ... $8.99 14.99
Excellent live work by The Association – quite different than their earlier pop hits, but still with the same great harmony feel! The style here is in the rougher, more guitar-based mode of albums like Birthday and Stop Your Motor – and the band really sounds great in this live setting ... read more CD
RCA/Fifth Dimension (Germany), 1975. Used ... $14.99
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 ... read more CD

Dawn/Esoteric (UK), 1970. New Copy ... $14.99
A very cool quartet from the British jazz/rock years – but one who were a lot more jazz-based than some of their contemporaries! These guys are all instrumental, and although a number of their tunes are familiar rock standards from the late 60s, they don't play them like rock tunes at all ... (Jazz, Rock) read more CD
Esoteric (UK), Early 70s. New Copy 4CD ... $32.99
The full story of Atomic Rooster – a group who were quite an important force in their day, but who've become a bit overlooked in more recent years! The group originally grew out of the Crazy World Of Arthur Brown, and featured drummer Carl Palmer in his pre-ELP years – and keyboardist ... read more CD
RCA/Real Gone, 1971. New Copy Gatefold ... $3.99 13.98
David Axelrod takes on Handel's Messiah – and the result is an amazingly complex set of music – very similar to his earlier albums on Capitol Records, and his Warner work with the Electric Prunes! If you love the Axe, you'll find plenty to love here – spare, dark orchestrations, ... (Jazz, Rock) read more CD
Island/Elemental (Spain), 1974. New Copy ... $13.99
A seminal live set that brings together the best talents from mid 70s leftfield rock – a unique meeting of Brian Eno, Kevin Ayers, John Cale, Nico, Robert Wyatt, and Mike Oldfield!

Capitol/Mobile Fidelity, 1968. Used Gatefold ... $22.99
The landmark first album from The Band – and along with the follow-up, it's among the greatest records of its time – which is all the more astounding given how independent of late 60s trends it is! Each member of The Band brings such inimitable textures – Garth Hudson's imposing ... read more CD

Cotillion/Fallout (UK), 1971. Used ... $8.99
A folk funk classic from the early 70s – and a weird little record that has a sound that's unlike anything else we can think of! The arrangements are quite soulful, almost funky at times – with a righteous undercurrent that reminds us of Richard Evans or Charles Stepney at Cadet ... (Soul, Rock) read more CD
Esoteric (UK), 1970. New Copy 3CD & DVD ... $62.99

Nonesuch, 2018. New Copy ... $13.99 14.99
An interesting little album – a set that's part indie, and part a surprisingly great tribute to the music of the Indonesian gamelan – extrapolated through the compositions of Colin McPhee, who was one of the first to transcribe the sound of the percussive ensemble for the piano! The ... read more CD
BMG (Italy), 1975. New Copy ... $15.99
One of the most abstract works of Italian modernist composer Franco Battiato – a set of three long pieces that create sound collages through the use of electronics, sound effects, pipe organ, voice, and processing! The work is some of Battiato's best – light years away from the rock ... (Out Sound, Rock) read more CD

A hip little set from The Beat Boys – an Argetine group working in late 60s Brazil, supposedly with a bit of an influence on the sound of Tropicalia!

Mercury/Universal (Japan), 1967. New Copy ... $19.99
The cover's a bit trippy, but the sound is anything but – and instead stands as a strong tribute to the way the early work of Chuck Berry continued to influence a generation of rockers well through the 60s!

Acid Jazz (UK), 2018. New Copy ... $16.99
A set that's not nearly as terror-filled as you might expect – as the set's a highly instrumental one, and really lets Matt Berry explore his love of vintage psych, acid folk, and other dark influences from the past – but all with a vibe that's lean and nicely contemporary too, so that ... read more CD
