Requiem For Mankind

'Requiem For Mankind' is the final instalment in a series of studio albums examining man's relationship with religion, magic, myths, himself and the planet he inhabits.

'Man, Myth & Magic' explored man's myths and this final album in the series draws things to a close. Limited to 150 copies in gatefold sleeve.

Jade Stone & Luv

Mosaics, Pieces Of Stone

The sole album from male-female duo Jade Stone & Luv is a lost gem from the heart of the psychedelic 1970s. A long-time cult item and highly praised in the 'Acid Archives' book. Composed and self-produced in Nashville, 'Mosaics, Pieces Of Stone' went unnoticed by the music industry upon release. While almost unknown outside specialist circles, 'Mosaics' has been an underground cult favorite for many years. The combination of top-level songwriting, skillful guitar/keyboard arrangements and soaring vocals is just too impressive to ignore. And beyond these obvious qualities, the album has something subtle and unique, a magnetic power that keeps drawing the listener back. This 2024 reissue is limited to 600 copies on multicoloured vinyl and includes a bonus track, extensive liner notes and photos.

Mu

West Coast psychedelia/bluesy acid-rock by this true hippie band led by the legendary Merrell Fankhauser (Fapardokly, H.M.S. Bounty) and genius guitar player Jeff Cotton (Captain Beefheart Magic Band). This is their classic and sought after first album from 1971. Remastered sound. Original artwork in hard cardboard silver foil sleeve like the original. Includes insert with lyrics, photos and extensive liner notes by Patrick Lundborg. "The mix of bluesy urban LA exhaust fume vibes and tribal desert mystique is as archetypal an early 1970s SoCal trip as you can find. With strong songwriting and a pro-level recording, the album is given a clear musical identity via the excellent slide guitar, harmony vocals, and occasional sax." ~Patrick Lundborg (Acid Archives).

Skyeros

Skyeros

Void's 68th release Skyeros are from the St. Louis area and the album was recorded at Golden Voice Studios, which is in Pekin, Illinois (near Peoria). The studio is not a stranger to fans of the Midwest progressive crowd, as it's where Pentwater, Starcastle (first album) and Styx ('Man Of Miracles') laid down their recordings. St. Louis based rock group Head East also recorded there. Musically it is progressive melodic rock with great playing and vocals. Originals now fetch $1000 so here's a legit 350 press reissue with insert on black vinyl. This reissue is taken from the master and cover is exact to original.

Zagusljivi Dim

Dutchfall Der Lebensmachine

Zagusljivi dim (Suffocating Smoke) is a trio hailing from Cakovec, Croatia, drawing inspiration from both the external world and 'our inner selves.' Their music blends elements of psychedelia and minimalist music, producing extended, meditative pieces that emphasize texture and atmosphere over conventional song structures. Their primary goal is to embark on a mantric musical odyssey that explores the marvelous, the eerie, the mysterious, and the seemingly familiar. The smoke represents the truths we articulate, transformation, and the transient nature of existence. Comes on transparant purple vinyl including obi.

Anyway The Wind/slippin' Out

Atlanta Georgia's Woggles 23rd 7" release is on Rogue Records, and spotlights two tracks that feature the late Flesh Hammer a.k.a. Jeff Walls on guitar.

Produced by Jeff Walls and The Woggles, The A-side, 'Anyway The Wind' is a Walls composition with a late period Yardbirds flavor, and the B-Side, 'Slippin' Out' was co-written by The Professor Mighty Manfred and Walls and has a greasy chitlin' vibe.

PUNK/HARDCORE

Savage Beat

The Singles 2018-2022

Savage Beat have been called "Amsterdam's ambassadors of high energy rock 'n roll" and mix this with late '70s punk and Oi! influences into their own self-described "street boogie" sound. Slaughter & The Dogs, The Boys, The Hellacopters, Blitz, Cock Sparrer, The Dictators and MC5 are just some of the bands that have influenced Savage Beat. In the past 7 years they've chalked up 10 releases to their name, most of them singles and all of them out of print. To ease the pain until their brand new full length album comes out in 2025, Savage Beat releases a compilation called 'The Singles 2018-2022.' The 12" LP features all original tracks previously released on 7" single + songs from their 2021 'New World' EP and includes an unreleased version of fist-pumping anthem 'Always Dreaming.' Limited to 300 copies on black vinyl.

This Kind Of Experience Live 78/79 (black)

Explore and discover The Puke on 'This Kind Of Experience Live 1978/1979.' Pronounced the bad boys of the Pittsburgh punk scene after ripping up a bible on stage, The Puke, formed in 1978, was one of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's first wave punk bands. Minimal, raw in the extreme, and darkly humorous, they were banned from playing nearly as often as they performed. The Puke consisted of Bill Bored playing the bass drum, Pat D. Hearse on guitar and vocals, and Barney Scum on guitar and vocals. Includes a hand-stamped 16-page booklet with color photos, essays by Pittsburgh DJ and writer W.T. Koltek and sole surviving band member Pat D. Hearse, plus reproductions of posters for shows and additional ephemera. Never before heard, released for the first time on vinyl! Sourced from recently surfaced cassette tapes digitally transferred and engineered by Mike Kolesar for Get Hip Recordings. For fans of The Germs, The Nuns, The Dickies, Teenage Jesus & The Jerks, and other no wave artists. "They made the Ramones sound like Emerson, Lake and Palmer." ~W.T. Koltek, Pittsburgh DJ & writer.

I Am The Dirt Under Your Fingernails (2lp)

Now also available on DOUBLE-LP! This release from the project featuring Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, Council Estate Electronics, The Sidewinder, etc.) follows hot on the heels of July 2022's 'It Comes to Us All'. Comprising nine tracks, each named and numbered after the album's title, the album violently pushes us through a murky world of suffocating textures, crepuscular guitars, serrated noise and what appear to be random bursts of sawmill grind which together create the perfect backdrop to today's newscape.

Kleistwahr

Where The Word Is Never

Kleistwahr is the solo moniker of Ramleh's Gary Mundy. His 2024 album 'Where The Word Is Never' mostly delivers like it has been created through a rich blend of torment, lament and general despair before it frantically reaches for that small and beautiful white dot in the distance where all such thoughts can be cast asunder. 'Where The Word Is Never' may very well be the best album Kleistwahr has yet put its name to.

Bass Communion

The Itself On Itself (2lp)

Bass Communion is the experimental/ambient project of Porcupine Tree's Steven Wilson. Whilst still rippled with the same shades of light and dark that can be found throughout all of Bass Communion's work, 'The Itself Of Itself' reveals a fascination with analogue sounds and, more importantly perhaps, unwanted analogue artefacts s.a. tape hiss, wow and flutter, static noise and sonic break-up, taking the music into a space at once different yet familiar. This deluxe DOUBLE-LP edition comes with a gatefold sleeve, a 24-page booklet and an obi.

Levy, Clara

Outre-nuit

'Outre-nuit As Outre-noir' by Pierre Soulages, the greatest nuances on subtle variations. The programme can be listened to in one go between Clara's two compositions, it's 'Xnoybis,' an extraordinary performance by the great Scelsi - a piece that makes you feel like you're listening for the first time - Giacinto Scelsi's 'Xnoybis' (1964) is a journey amongst the reliefs contained within one single pitch. Written in three parts, the piece is an instinctive approach to the sound spectrum (the term 'spectral music' will be coined a decade later). 'Nocturne' by Kaija Saariaho focuses on the sound material metamorphosis. Erika Vega and Eva Maria Houben, two young female composers, close the programme. In reality, it's just a journey and this programme as 'sonic listening meditations.' Performed by Clara Levy.

Man From Atlantis With Camila Nebbia & Simo Lahoinen

Blues For Archie Shepp

Delicate grooves lull us into a higher state of consciousness in the opening corridors of 'Blues For Archie Shepp.' The Man From Atlantis drifts, but frayed tendrils tether his emotive guitar explorations to the Earth. Nebbia floats into frame, skewing the atmosphere into an ephemeral mirror where guitar ruminations and Laihonen's gentle percussive sways concoct gentle, sonic silhouettes. Piano fragments search for answers, but the echoes of Nebbia's saxophone and Laihonen's expressive textures shade any clarity and push us toward deeper investigations. Waves of psychedelia waft through angular patterns, grounding this music in a world where life begins in the dirt.

​BLUES/COUNTRY/OLDIES

Taylor, Hound Dog

Take Five (10")

Theodore "Hound Dog" Taylor was born on April 12, 1917, in Natchez, Mississippi. By day, he was a sharecropper; by night, he played the delta jukes. In 1942, following a dangerous encounter with the Ku Klux Klan, he high-tailed it out of the South to Chicago. There, he held a day job while building his reputation as a musician, performing in South and West Side blues clubs and on the streets. It wasn't until the late '50s that he became a full-time musician, playing regularly at the Expressway Lounge. Taylor developed a raw vocal style and blistering slide guitar technique, using a cheap Teisco Del Rey guitar powered through a Sears Roebuck amplifier. He also had a physical condition called polydactylism, which resulted in an extra finger on each hand. Hound Dog Taylor first recorded in 1960 for Bea and Baby Records, and again in 1962 for the Firma label. The resulting 45s were his only releases during the '60s and these four tracks are included on this record. As a bonus, we have added two tracks by Mississippi-born, long-time blues veteran Homesick James, who, after recording several 45s in the early '50s, didn't get another single released until 1962. Both numbers feature Taylor on guitar. He died in December 1975, after releasing four albums on the Alligator label, leaving us his own epitaph: 'When I die, they'll say, 'He couldn't play shit, but he sure made it sound good!'

JAZZ/AVANTGARDE

Fluflafen

Sorcery Sauce

'Sorcery Sauce' is a full-bodied, firebrand assault on the senses - an unrelenting, transcendental punk-jazz coup de maître. All the compositions are completely improvised - at times brutal, immediate and uncompromising with layers of tasteful, transcendental ambience that wouldn't be out of place on Miles' 'On The Corner' or 'In A Silent Way'. Each member knowing exactly when to push the boundaries and when to reign in the beast. Born out of the pandemic, this culturally diverse experimental, jazz-rock trio comprised of Jukka Ahonen on guitar, Yoni Geller on drums, and Hadi Marvian on clarinet, fits alongside the likes of Last Exit, Zu, Flying Luttenbachers, Painkiller or Fushitsusha. Comes on transparant green smokey vinyl including obi.

“The oeuvre of Portugal-based interstellar synthlord Dr. Space expands like the universe itself: it spreads farther at a seemingly increasing rate, propelled by intangible forces.” (JJ Koczan for The Obelisk)

FORD’S FUZZ INFERNO – Electrofuzzification (Lp/Subunderground C.A.)
“Black vinyl spinning at 45 rpm for, as the band put it themselves, maximum electrofuzzification. And yes, right they are. And now they just have to convince you.” (Patrick Bruneel for Luminous Dash)

Check out The Professor's Picks: New Prog, Fusion, and Metal Releases for November 22, 2024, to see what Ken Golden of The Laser’s Edge has to say about the album JUPITER FUNGUS – Garden Electric (CD/LP, Sound Effect Records).

Tune in to the November 22 episode of The Professor’s Picks for more details!

VIBRAVOID – An Introduction To Vibravoid (2CD, Fruits De Mer)
‘An Introduction To Vibravoid’ comprises two delightful discs full of marvelous psychedelic music which I’ve enjoyed immensely…” (Carry Munter for Carry’s New Underground Music)

VARIOUS – Super Disco Pirata (CD/LP, Analog Africa)
“…overall it’s seriously engaging and dance-oriented fare that ticks all the boxes we come to expect from the German label.” (Mark Sampson for Sounds And Colours)

SCENICS – New Part In Town (LP, Supreme Echo)
“Meyers’ tape transfer and remastering are a big help in appreciating the recordings, which will appeal to fans of the band and anyone interested in hearing a group of young kids getting together to make a joyful noise—and having one hell of a great time doing it.” (Jeff Penczek for It’s Psychedelic! Baby Magazine)

VOO-DOOMS – ‘Doom With A Voo’ (7-inch, Spinout Nuggets)
“Rounding things off with the infectious She’s A Move, across just six tunes, the band show that they are a real tour de force for any trash-garage lovers.” (Nathan Whittle for Louder Than War)

DETENTION – ‘Dead Rock 'n Rollers’ (LP-CD, Left For Dead)
“Living in the shadow of New York, the world tends to leave out New Jersey when talking about great 1980’s punk bands.” (John Moore for New Noise Magazine)

VARIOUS – ‘Brown Acid: The 19th Trip’ (LP-CD, Riding Easy Records)
“The bottomless pit of deranged, vintage heavy rock the series presents continually expands over time. Take one deadly dose too many and you might be trapped in the bad-trip loop forever.” (Darryl Sterdan forTinnitist)

“Ventre unique finds them in characteristically playful spirit, though often singing politically in French and English.“ (Neil Spencer for The Guardian)

SLOWER – Slower (LP-CD, Heavy Psych Sounds)
“As I was absorbing Slower, I wound up making a playlist with the Slower versions followed immediately by Slayer’s originals to compare and contrast the sonics, and in that context, it really is jaw-dropping what Slower have achieved, because once again, who would’ve thought Slayer songs could be made even heavier, but here we are.” (Martin Williams for The Sleeping Shaman)

CLOUDS TASTE SATANIC – All I Want For Christmas Is Your Soul (EP, Kinda Like Music)
“In fact, this whole EP is the perfect soundtrack to that couple of hours on Christmas Day, when you’re in the void between meat sweats and getting your second wind (metaphorically speaking – physically, you’re already preparing for the epic wind that will shortly be exiting your body).” (Beth Morait for Ever Metal)

JOE D. NELSON – Iced Cherries (LP, Ramble Records)
“Nelson fiddled with guitar picking patterns and offered examples of how small changes can organically grow into a new song.” (Noelle Annonen for WBHM)
