In November 1974, Sparks’ Propaganda album instilled in their fans the burning desire to drop leaflets from helicopters declaring Sparks the greatest band in the world!! Having no access to helicopters in our teens, word traveled slowly but surely, by various subversive missives.

Despite the Maels’ intentions to take a completely new direction, ignoring the successful formula of Kimono My House, it segued right into Propaganda. Sparks’ third and fourth albums (both on Island Records) complemented each other like a pair of bookends. Britain’s `Holy Trinity’ Melody Maker, Sounds and NME raved. They gave the band tremendous coverage, featuring lengthy interviews with Ron and Russell, in which they mostly discussed their favorite topic – food!

Listen Here! is a sampler album released by Transatlantic Records in 1968. It was the second significant UK contemporary music sampler release in the period.

Transatlantic, founded in 1961, was a prototype for many of the UK independent labels that followed it. It established the UK folk-rock market, first by importing American records, and then by recording British artists. With the advent of psychedelia and flower power, the Transatlantic stable of artists achieved increasing popularity, culminating in the formation of the supergroup Pentangle. Meanwhile, Transatlantic had been extending its eclecticism, recording such as the eccentric audio collageist Ron Geesin, and The Purple Gang, whose "Granny Takes A Trip" was banned by the BBC in 1967.

Death in Vegas returns with Transmission, the sixth release from the project begun by Richard Fearless nearly two decades ago. This album forges new miles on the path Fearless carved with Satan’s Circus and Trans-Love Energies, and is born of his desire for an ever more raw, refined sound.

United over a love of Throbbing Gristle and Chris and Cosey, Fearless partners with artist and writer Sasha Grey, whose lyrics resonate across the soundscape of visceral techno and unsettling, discordant drones, weaving into a state of dreamlike euphoria. Field recordings of the constant drone of air traffic and incessant noise from the steel factory opposite Fearless’ Metal Box studio, as well as the Ballardian landscape in which it’s set, all exert their pull on the record, searching for light in the dark.

It’s easy to forget that Norway shares a short stretch of frontier with Russia, right at the northernmost tip of the country. That region is where Geir Jenssen, the Norwegian electronic producer behind Biosphere, comes from, and where he has been composing his austere, disturbing and deeply textured ambience since the early 1980s.

Biosphere has released many albums to date including 'Substrata,' voted the greatest ambient album of all time on the Hyperreal website, and has collaborated with Arne Nordheim, Higher Intelligence Agency, Deathprod, Pete Namlook and Bel Canto.

His 12th album 'Departed Glories' is his first in almost five years and marks a new deal with the Oslo independent label Smalltown Supersound. On the cover is a photo of the Russian landscape taken more than a hundred years ago. It’s part of an incredible cache of recently discovered images by the photographer Sergei Prokudin-Gorsky, who pioneered a form of colour photography using three sheets of glass, and left us with a collection of hauntingly beautiful pictures of a vanished world that could have been taken on an iPhone.

Out-of-print, super-rare, hard-to-get-hold-of - Unwind Yourself was sampled on 900 Number & Let Me Clear My Throat. James Brown production.

Very Good secondhand copy.

Pete wrote this short-story lyric while we were on a writing trip (drinking holiday) in the Forest Of Dean. Kids in the local pub always put Exterminate by Snap on the jukebox when we were there, which subtly influenced our writing on this. It was once described as sounding like “a row of fridges”. Features an AUTECHRE remix (Chemical Brothers)!

Very Good + secondhand copy.

Ace double live LP from the Moodies - on gatefold sleeve and recorded live at the Royal Albert Hall 12th December 1969. Heady, heavy business from the boys - get on it!

Good secondhand copy.

The colossal LP from the prog legends that's seen a bit of love (previous owners obviously listened to this LP a bunch, and who wouldn't honestly). The title track is one of the most melodic, brilliant slabs of psychedelic rock ever recorded. Absolutely essential!

Very Good secondhand copy.

The legendary Big Mama Thonrton - pioneer of rock 'n roll and R&B recorded live at Monroe State Prison and Oregon State Reformatory and in as fine a voice as you could possibly hope for. Not an easy one to get hold of this, so don't miss out!

Sebastian has followed such an impressive path that it‟s hard to believe that he‟s only now releasing his long-awaited debut album. But the facts are clear: after several EPs (H.A.L, Smoking Kills, Ross Ross Ross, Motor), a record compiling his many remixes for Daft Punk, Kelis and the Kills among others (Sebastian Remixes) and a co production of the soundtrack for the film Steak with Sebastien Tellier and Mr Oizo, in which he also played one of the leading roles.

Ever elusive, he unveiled yet another side of his creativity in composing a philharmonic score for Notre Jour Viendra, Romain Gavras‟ first film. One of the creators, along with Justice, of the Ed Banger sound, he is without a doubt the label‟s most unusual figure. An iconoclast maverick he readily defies the rules to deliver a dirty and violent kind of techno that coughs and spits; music to his image: human and visceral. Super prolific and constantly effervescent this musician has managed, in the space of a few years, to redefine electronic music and is ready to astound everyone once again with TOTAL, a definitive and meteoric first album.
