This is an all around excellent bootleg from late in the original run of German rock legends CAN. Good recordings of their legendary, highly improvisational performances are highly sought and quality enjoyed. Amongst CAN bootlegs A French Gig is appreciated for a few reasons. The sound […]
This is an classic live bootleg and the companion piece to Chris Forsyths now legendary studio album Solar Motel (2013.) Solar Live 11/15/13 was recorded during the album release show for Solar Motel in Philadelphia and consists of the full 40 minute 4 part title track played […]
Small Medium Large is album of deeply technical and crystal clear improvised jazz, recorded in L.A. at ETA (R.I.P.) Some folks like myself might’ve first enjoyed Anna Butterss on 2022s Activities which is a wonderful album as well. You may also have heard her, and several […]
A wonderful collaborative album between the legendary American psych collective Sunburned Hand of the Man and Finnish krautrock band Circle. Like the finest krautrock (and pretty much every album by any self styled collective,) they jammed live to tape for hours and hours before cutting it […]
There’s so much character and creativity in this record by Winged Wheel. I have been enjoying it more than most of their experimental/kraut contemporaries and find it better than their (excellent) first record. Unlike their first record, 2022s No Island, their sophomore album Big Hotel was […]
A legendary meeting of the minds that got its long overdue release 2023. If you haven’t heard that this collaboration has been cooking, here’s the story. Simeon Coxe and Makoto Kawabata recorded this back in 2009, after Simeon reached out and invited the collaboration. They laid […]
A poetic post-rock record in Arabic with great improvisations and atmosphere. The typical spacious and moody post-rock sound is absolutely there, especially on the second half. Still the Beirut based sextets debut work is loaded with engaging rhythms and interesting jams ala krautrock. The end result […]
The Afghan-American artist (now based in Eindhoven NE) known for the band The Myrrors returned with a singular and amazing third solo record. This record was planned to be the studio debut of the project, but returned to a classic psychedelic home-and-elsewhere recorded collage. I think […]
There’s unlikely to be a finer krautrock adjacent album in 2023 than this Peruvian bands sophomore album. It’s absolutely fantastic, wholly original and extremely psychedelic. There are great electric and acoustic passages, field recordings and a big emotional range all in just 40 minutes of mostly […]
Our friends (I don’t actually know them I just like their sounds) at Ampacity have excitingly seen fit to grace us with a new album this year! Their previous LPs, “Encounter One” (2013) and “Superluminal” (2015) were both gateways for me into heavy fuzzed out nodding […]
