Thierry Zaboitzeff - Back Up (1993 - 2006)

More superb avant rock from the leading force behind "Art Zoyd". Absolutely wonderfull collection here with mostly a compilation of short pieces which have also appeared on several of his other albums. The combination of styles are utterly compelling and fascinating for the lover of adventurous music.

 If your into "Art Zoyd" like me, this artists solo work is absolutely essential!!

Missa Furiosa "Lacrimosa" by Thierry Zaboitzeff & crew director Harald Friedl

Porcupine Tree - Up The Downstair (1993)

Second album by these, and another great "Pink Floyd" influenced album which is far trippier than there more recent albums with a stronger psychedelic ethereal presence.

Porcupine Tree - Synesthesia (1993)

Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves sideways (1995)

Probably "Porcupine Tree's" finest moment with classic tracks such as "Moonloop" and the two title songs. They don't come much better from this band if your into the more psychedelic spacerock style..

Peter Frohmader - Kanaan Live (1975)

Very rare live recording which certainly whips up a storm with a heady dose of psychedelic space and krautrock. Most of this sounds improvised with great drums and bass.

Not the greatest of recordings but essential for "Frohmader" fans and much more accessible  ( less zeuhl) and  spacier than later works. Check out a fantastic bass solo from "Frohmader" on the lengthy track "Muzak fur Beknackte"

Peter Frohmader - The Forgotten Enemy (1985)

Rare mini LP on the "Hasch Platten" label from "Frohmader" which mostly sounds like a fusion of say "Magma's" "Ghost Dance" from "Udu Wudu" and the intense electronic rock of "Heldon".

As ever eclectic and great!
