The re-release of yet another diamond in Europrog’s chamber of obscurities has been brewing for quite some time. Circumvision, the sole progeny of Dutch progsters’ Kracq, is a typical case of atypical music genius that emerges at the vanishing point where diverse musical backgrounds coalesce on a shared appreciation for the genre’s fetishized father-figures.  This is a fine blend of organ-driven prog, with sufficient infusions of electronics and avant-gardisms, just enough to bar them from crossing over to the vast unknown. Overladen with mood swings that will suck your aura into mayhemic  magnetism of relentless decadence, as Husting’s vocals attempt to impose a manageable range of ups and downs amidst the underlying eccentric dialogue between   Vermijs’ synths and van der Heijden’s rollingly snappy bass-lines, Circumvision is a gripping experience from start to finish.  We can hardly call this a ‘re-issue’. This is an original release in a different cartographic arrangement of an ever shifting force-field.  To make this statement more palpable, Circumvision’s new release is equipped with a slightly redesigned (and band-approved) lyrics sheet, and a bonus cd that is packed with soundboard recordings from one of the very few live shows that were performed by Kracq in 1978, as well as two previously unreleased songs that set the listener on the path for a wholly different sonic adventure into what might be described as kosmische acid folktronica (picture Gilli Smith jamming with Moondog and Bruce Haack at the same time).

1st VINYL REISSUE OF SKRYVANIA - SKRYVANIA

By
B and name : Skryvania A l bum t i tl e :  Skryvania Forma t : Vi n y l LP + Bonus CD (180 g r ., 350 gsm covers, Bonus CD, 2-page color insert ) Other specifications: Strictly limited pressing of 300 hand-numbered copies C a t. no : P Q R 024/PQR025 Bandcamp https://pqr-disquesplusquerel.bandcamp.com/album/skryvania File nearby: Shylock, Ripaille, Mona Lisa, Metabolisme, Pulsar, Arachnoid A true diamond in the pantheon of French progressive rock, Skryvania’s sole album that was released in 1978 is currently the scene’s most expensive artefact, with copies selling for over 3000 euros (if found). The album’s musical merit is hardly contestable. Although largely composed in the typically French symphonic prog vein, it is no stranger to hard prog and psychedelia, with fuzzed out guitar solos in constant dialogue with escalating moog assaults. This largely instrumental album was originally released on the DIY label DMR (Philippe de Magnée Recordings, the group’s producer and me

1st VINYL REISSUE ROY RUTANEN – ROY RUTANEN

By
  1st VINYL REISSUE ROY RUTANEN – ROY RUTANEN Forma t : Vi n y l LP (180 g r ., with 2-page color insert ) Other specifications: Strictly limited pressing of 500 hand-numbered copies in 2 colors (300 black, 200 gold vinyl) C a t. no : PQR027 https://pqr-disquesplusquerel.bandcamp.com/album/roy-rutanen File nearby: Perry Leopold, Byrds, Abstract Truth, Kenny Rogers & The First Edition, Meic Stevens Roy Rutanen’s self-titled album has remained a best-kept secret among psychedelia and acid-folk collectors ever since its original release in 1971. What could have been the solid foundation for a promising career in the music industry was abandoned due to the lack of label support, subsequently surviving as a one-off museum piece, accessible to a select few who can afford the price commanded for original copies.  This is the time for Roy’s music to shine through with his unique combination of moody acoustic bliss and acid-drenched solos, all of which are epitomized in the Trip

1st VINYL EDITION OF CHEVAL FOU

1st VINYL EDITION OF CHEVAL FOU B and name : Cheval Fou A l bum t i tl e : Cheval Fou   Forma t : Vi n y l LP (180 g r ., splatter, poster cover 60x60 ) Other specifications: Strictly limited pressing of 300 numbered copies, remastered, with bonus tracks (download card), including 50 copies with 6 printed Fouart cards C a t. no : PQR028 File nearby: Group 1850, Amon Duul, NYL, Dashiel Hedayatt, Gong, Pyramid (Ger), Beat of the Earth, Rotomagus, Chêne Noire Cheval Fou was one of the most important, prolific and authentic psychedelic outfits that thrived on the margins of the French underground during the first half of the 70s. A precursor to the by now more well-known and equally outstanding space-rock formation NYL, Cheval Fou’s salvaged recordings are a testament to the purest made-in-Europe free-form, freak-out psychedelia. Just picture an amalgamation between Group 1850’s Agemo and Amon Duul’s Phallus Dei, with Dashiel Hedayatt dropping in for a quick jam, and
