Listening to the music of Al Doum & Faryds is always like staying in the pristine nature of an exotic island, in the sacred harmony of a New Organic Society; imaging all brothers and sisters singing and dancing in the unity of the brotherhood. This is the message of love and joy that pervade this fourth album. Moving towards accents of jazz ancestry, the Faryds absorb and re-elaborate - with remarkable insights - disparate elements and influences of Electric Jazz of the 70’s (Miles Davis, Dr.John) and Spiritual Jazz (Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Don Cherry), marrying them with the forceful instances of Afro-Free (Pyramids, Alkebu-Lan).

“Space jazz, cosmic rock & erotic soundtracks from Barcelona”. This is how these worthy heirs of Gong, addicts of Aleister Crowley’s pagan subculture, and loyal devotees of free form music, kraut and expansive 70s prog-rock, describe themselves.

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of one of the greatest albums in the history of recorded music. The original 1969 Frank Zappa album was the first record to be recorded on a prototype 16-Track Tape Machine. Self-described as a “Movie For Your Ears,” it was technically the second solo outing for the composer and the album that put FZ on the map as a guitar player. The vinyl for Hot Rats 50th is a 1LP of the original album, pressed on hot pink vinyl, pressed at Pallas on 180g.

Los Lobotomys started out as a jam band in 1985 when several top-session players in LA started to jam at the iconic North Hollywood Jazz club, The Baked Potato. Los Lobotomys would be an instrumental band, playing everything from hard rock to be-bop, and always with a strong focus on improvisation. Los Lobotomys started playing at The Baked Potato on Tuesday nights and soon, lines would form outside the club many hours before the show. People from all over the world came to North Hollywood to experience the group and, not least, Jeff Porcaro’s magical grooves.

CHROMB! is a quartet with strings, reeds, 88 keys and drums in, wired on 220volts, making rock with no guitar, distorted jazz or chamber music for sick kids and emotive adults.

While hardly representative of the hits streaming through the Bluetooth ether these days, 'Music from the Early 21st Century' is nonetheless aptly titled, colliding as its does entire threads of musical history leading up to the very moment of its explosive creation. The album, captured live during a brief tour of the Northeastern U.S. in early 2019, is essentially a freely improvised organ trio set.

As a young guitarist growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, Charlie Hunter was looking for a way to stand out in the '80s. His primary influences were jazz great Joe Pass and the fluid Tuck Andress (of the guitar/vocal duo Tuck & Patti), both six-string guitarists who were adept at blending bass notes into their standard guitar melodies to make themselves sound like two musicians at once. But Hunter wanted to take it one step further and set out to find an instrument on which he could simultaneously function as both a guitarist and a bassist.
