Great music few are aware of. Any genre.


To start with :
1. Al di Meola - Cielo e Terra. Vinyl, Japanese sounds best,
2. Sussan Deyhim - Madman of God. CD.
3. Hellborg/Velez - Ars Moriende. CD, track Love Death Ritual.
4.Steve Roach/Jorge Reyes - Vine Bark&Spore. CD. Atmospheric, tribal ambient.

Happy for the positive responses.  Glad for the opportunity to give these artists a little bit more exposure.  

Chaz - Don't know about availability of all those in vinyl, but limited vinyl production is not unheard of from some of these small labels; e.g., Kranky, Ghostly, n5md.  Suggest you check discogs to see how they were released.  I've had decent success buying on the Discogs marketplace (a little vinyl; just look for M/NM and a seller w/100% rating).  As far as more, like Todd said, I don't want to load up this thread.  Many of these "discoveries" were a result of visiting a really wonderful record review site called, "A Closer Listen - A Home for Instrumental & Experimental Music".  Richard Allen should get some kind of cultural achievement award for what he has put together there.  Hope you and others will check it out.

Todd - "A Strangely Isolated Place" is an interesting name for an electronic/ambient label being (as you probably know) the name of a well-regarded electronica recording by Ulrich Schnauss.   I look forward to checking out Lav & Perl's, "A State of Becoming".  I like ambient as well but for active listening prefer compositions that are "going somewhere", as in Helios' "Unleft".  

There used to be an "ambient favorites" thread here on A'gon.  Would love to see that resurrected and expanded to include electronica and "modern composition". 



I posted these as part of a more extensive list in response to another thread:

brian davison- every which way-mercury- (former drummer for The Nice, set up 1 off band after Emerson left; great vocals by Graham Bell, sounds like old Traffic, blues shouter hard rock, good sound, not big $);

blast furnace- s/t- danish polydor- buy the RSD reissue from Denmark, original pressings are $$$- great mix of psych and melody;

lucifer’s friend- s/t-german philips- zeppy sabbath, with hues of deep purple and heep vocals- classic proto-metal; don’t bother with the universal reissue
