	CATHARSIS - 32 Mars (Galloway) By far their rarest LP. For those who know the single version, the incredible track "32 Mars" is here on a 11 minutes long version... mental! You can't find a cleaner copy than this, almost untouched. Cover EX / vinyl EX 30€

	V/A ARTISTS - Schneeball (April Records ) Good sampler album from the excellent German label. With tracks by MISSUS BEASTLY ("Miles All Along The Watchtower"), MUNJU ("Kirschsuppe"), CHECKPOINT CHARLIE ("Smogalarm") and most definitly the killer "Knast Funk" by EMBRYO! Cover EX / vinyl EX 35€

	MAGMA - Üdü Wüdü (Utopia) More insane music by the Vander gang, reinforced by Michel Grailler on piano, Janick Top on bass and Pierre Dutour on trumpet. With the tribal prog “Troller Tanz”, “Zombies” and the funky as hell (thanks to Jannick Top for the bassline a la Bootsy Collins !) “Soleil D'Ork”. Cover EX- / vinyl EX 30€

JEAN COHEN SOLAL - Musiques Et Instruments Insolites (Daphy)
One of the two official LPs from this fabulous french flutist, this one is part of the "Musiques Et Instruments Insolites" serie (weird musics and instruments serie). This record is an ambitious collage of prog rock, psych organ, experimental effected flute plays, strange rhythmic, sitar sounds and other synthetised style of music. With the masterpiece epic tune "Concerto Cyclique", 11 minutes of fresh adventurous music! Bside, that contains the lone 17 minutes piece "Quelqu'un" got some loud surface noises at the end.

	SYNTHESIS - S/T (Fabulous) First and foremost, there's no relation with the Jazz Funk LP of the same name.

	THE CHOSEN FEW - S/T (RCA) No connection with the reggae/funk band of the same name, this one is more in a good ol' blue eyed soul mood. Some cool tunes ("Safrowillie", "Deeper In", "I Will Miss You"), but the real deal here is the super phat hip hop loop on the intro of "Sea Of Tranquility", this piano play will not leave your head for a while!! Cover VG+ / vinyl EX 20€

AME SON – Catalyse (BYG 24)
Super scarce and sought after psych prog effort on the collectible jazz label that made an incursion into leftfield rock very soon.
