"New rocket by Muruga, after the Free Funk LP ! This healing session open and close with two funk/jazz tracks, rec. by Muruga in trio & 4et with Ken Kozara on muted trumpet and Richard Smith on bass; Belita Woods, from P-Funk, is added on the last track of the album May the funk be with you. The middle of the record is mostly perc heavy and trance/ethnic oriented. Ascension had been written by the late master Baba Olatunji and had been rec. live @ The Spirit Drum Fest. w/special guest Badal Roy (who rec. w/Miles Davis, Ornette, Don Cherry, etc...) and Sikiru Adepoju (who rec. w/Mickey Hart, Olatunji, etc..). Nelson Ledge is a drums trio rec. live as well @ The Rhythm Fest in Ohio. Shaman drum, Nada drum is a very special duo piece rec. w/Prem Das: here Muruga use a unique Nada drum, while Prem Das (long years of apprentice in Mexico with an Huichol shaman and was also a colleague of Timothy Leary & Ralph Metzner) use a water drum for a quite hypnotic effect ! Open yr heart and let yr body move... to the rhythm, to the groove ! in light." - Qbico. On pink and black vinyl.

New European folk/trance orkustra from Denmark with their debut release on Qbico. Various acoustic instruments cohere in hymns to the roar of the cosmos that are as dippily fried as the first Siloah LP and as aggressively invasive as Pelt at their most planet-levitating. Their name comes from Shirley Collins's tracing of the idea of the true love knot to the Danish word Trulofa.

More new free jazz from Finland. "When I went in Finland for the 1st Qbico U-Nite in Turku, I met Taneli (sax player) who gave me this strong rec. of his group Boris Morgana... after hearing few sec. of it, I immediately thought that it was alone worth the trip up North: heavy stuff and pretty unique in his kind !" - Qbico.

“One side is a synth/guitar duo with WFMU's music director Brian Turner, while side B is a solo synth affair. Both tracks rec. in the mid 90's. Psychedelic waveforms with a free-form sound that grows on you... subtle and mesmerizing.”

Weird ‘field recording’ of what Cooper describes as “urban exotica”, recorded on his first ever trip to the USA live at The No-Neck Blues Band’s Hint House art space. Cooper is best known as an improvising guitarist working on the most abstract fringes of post-jazz thought, but recent years have seen him consolidate a vision that would incorporate electronics as well as various aspects of exotica. This set kinda combines them all, even though there are no guitar moments at all. This was the second set he played at the NNCK house, this time using only a sampler keyboard, a Yamaha sampling unit with pre-recorded samplers, a mini disc with some tropical ambience and a pitch shifter delay pedal. The recording flits between audio documentation of room sounds and activities, tropical jungle sounds and orchestras of bird calls and cyclical electronics in a way that is subtly dislocating. Recorded in 2000, limited vinyl pressing on black wax.

Great limited triple LP set that bundles two nights of wild free jazz that Qbico presented in Detroit and Buffalo back in 2006. High energy sets from Arthur Doyle & Electro-Acoustic Ensemble, Andrew Barker & Daniel Carter, Steve Baczkowski & Ravi Padmanabha, Muruga Free Funk (with Perry Robinson), Faruq Z Bey & Northwoods Improvisers and Odu Afrobeat Orchestra.

Major instalment in Qbico's on-going documentation of the more obscure aspects of original Tangerine Dream/Kluster member Conrad Schnitzler's back catalogue is a vinyl upgrade of a terminally unavailable cassette originally released as the Red Cassette on Con's own label in 1974. More streamlined and structured than his experiments in aleatoric electronics documented on the Con '72 sides, this one crosses metronomic Industrial drum machines with strafes of analog gush in a way that sounds closest to Throbbing Gristle circa 20 Jazz Funk Greats. About as far removed from any notion of ‘Kosmiche' music as possible, this is classically alienated cold electronic threat as championed by long-term fans like Nurse With Wound. Comes pressed on a great black & white picture disc with Con in full Kiss-style berserker facepaint. Recommended.
