Camel’s The Live Recordings 1974–1977 captures the band stretching their classic progressive rock pieces into long, flowing live journeys across full concerts from the Camel, Mirage, The Snow Goose, Moonmadness, and Rain Dances eras. Themes from the studio albums open out into extended instrumental sections, with Andrew Latimer’s guitar and Peter Bardens’ keyboards drifting from mellow, atmospheric passages to powerful climaxes.

“In what refers to its musical content, Clearlight Symphony is a completely opposed concept to that of the other project in which Verdeaux was involved at the time: the collective album Delired Chameleon Family (also reissued recently on Wah Wah Records), a brilliant psychedelic dive into the French underground of the seventies. Clearlight Symphony, instead, is a much more author-controled work, where all the musicians adapt themselves to Verdeaux’s circular, systematic composition. The alleged and collected improvisations, dissonances and atonalities (superb Boulé), the rhythmic tension of Artman’s enigmatic, Heldonian drumming, Blake’s environmental VCS3 modulations, Hillage’s content cosmicism, Verdeaux’s crescendos and counterpoints… Plus echoes of Débussy, Terry Riley, Soft Machine, Magma, and why not, the aforementioned Tubular Bells. In short, a work of honesty, an album of its time.”

“Producer, composer and musician, Achim Reichel is a key figure in the explosion of krautrock… Late 60’s he launched his first solo musical project called A.R and the machines. Musically it provides a supreme sonic musical voyage turned to cycled psychedelic guitar playing with lot of echoes and delay… Today A.R and the machines remains a high class standard of hypnotic space-echo guitar inventions.”

“Next to EMBRYO, KRAAN are among those German groups who include psychedelic, sometimes ethnic elements to their distinctive, innovative jazz rock. At the beginning of their career, started in 1970, KRAAN free form jazz rock was really into jam sessions, totally improvised, mainly instrumental (featuring sax sections and many guitar / bass solos)… Really imaginative, inspired and technical these albums provide something new and amazing: an absolute trippy ethnic jazz rock. This particular facet of the KRAAN music culminates with their masterwork “Live” (1975).”

“One of the most original, layered, and innovative krautrock bands, Embryo fuses traditional ethnic music with their own jazzy space-rock style. Over the course of their decades-long existence, the group has traveled the world, played with hundreds of different musicians, and released dozens of records. Almost every album features different lineups and styles.”

“West Space and Love started out in 2009 as a project with Siena Root members Love and KG, based in Stockholm and Dr Space(Øresund Space Collective). The first album came out in 2010 followed by II in 2015. In 2023, we managed to record a 3rd album at Dr Space´s studio in Portugal. It features 5 tracks and has special guest, Hasse Horrigmoe (Tangle Edge) on bass and percussion. All the tracks feature the fantastic sitar playing of Indian classical sitarist, KG Westman, who also played multiple other instruments as well. The tracks were created in layers using Love´s drums as the main feature for our creative outpouring. Enjoy this 3rd edition..”

“Causa Sui returns with the perfect companion to last year’s tour de force, ”From The Source”. Whereas that record was a tightly structured piece of work, that condensed many aspects of the band’s sound into a concise 45 minute LP, ”In Flux” presents the more loose and impulsive side of Causa Sui.”

“Hidden in the liner notes of Causa Sui’s new live album lies an invitation to join the Danish purveyors of expansive psychedelic jams for a midnight feast at Copenhagen’s legendary Loppen venue. Recorded in the heart of freetown Christiania, a place where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur like the edges of a particularly good dream, the band’s performance is a testament to their two decades of sonic exploration… This is Causa Sui at their most free-flowing and spontaneous, a band that’s clearly as comfortable in the live setting as they are in the studio. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best music is the kind that’s created in the moment.”
