A massive 5CD head-trip through the outer reaches of psych rock from yesterday, today, and beyond! - Includes tracks by such well-known bands as Hawkwind, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Iron Butterfly, The Black Angels, The Warlocks, The Deviants, Allah-Las and more! The actual music in this box set is varied, yet gels together well, it's ambient psyche in places, a hint of mellow kraut rock, indie space rock, it's hard to put a description to the box as a whole….it's vibe from start to finish is hypnotic, edgy.

And now, Bon Voyage is once again set to surface, on June 15. The folk-prog odyssey teems with ideas and sounds—flute solo breakdowns, half-whispered singing, multiple languages, and psychedelic guitar freakouts. Before her accident, the French artist decamped to Sweden to work on the album with psychedelic brethren Fredrik Swahn of the Amazing and Dungen’s Reine Fiske. In part, the music is a testament to the trio’s mutual love of deep-cut oddities. (Prochet cites Turkish composer Özdemir Erdoğan, Brazilian singer-songwriter Milton Nascimento, and soulful crate-digger favorite Shuggie Otis as influences.) The resulting record is one that she describes as “a little winter’s tale.”

Recorded live at Marla's Memory Lane Supper Club in Los Angeles, this 1986 date finds Etta James in front of a superb combo fronted by Eddie "Cleanhead" Vinson, with Red Holloway, Jack McDuff, and Shuggie Otis providing the supple and swinging backdrop. Vinson is featured on "Kidney Stew," "When My Baby Left Me," and "Railroad Porter Blues" before the turning the stage over to Etta, who provides a blistering "Something's Got a Hold on Me" and a sultry three-song medley of "At Last," "Trust Me," and "Sunday Kind of Love." The two stars duet on Percy Mayfield's "Please Send Me Someone to Love" before Etta closes the show with strong readings of "Lover Man" and "Misty." The small crowd's enthusiastic response makes this a show you wish you were there for; this disc is the next best thing to it.

The terrifyingly entertaining new studio album from God of Hellfire and theatrical rock icon, Arthur Brown! This macabre-themed masterpiece finds Brown joined by a murderer's row of talented collaboraters including The Stooges' James Williamson, Gong's Steve Hillage, Deep Purple drummer Ian Paice, Vanilla Fudge's Mark Stein, Hawkwind co-founder Nik Turner, R&B superstar Shuggie Otis, and so much more! Includes original tracks co-written with producer Alan Davey as well as superb cover versions and a fantastic update of Brown's signature hit "Fire!"
