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". 



@toddverrone

Likewise about meeting another with similar interests in "electronica"
(though I'm all over the map on any given day, week, month)...

Hope you do spend some time at A Closer Listen.  Will be surprised you don't come away with a candidate for purchase.

In turn, I will see what I can find from djrum

A few others for you (and anyone else that's interested)...

Coppice Halifax - High Hawaiian Fog
Tangent - Collapsing Horizons
Fort Romeau - Insides (kinda old school sounding synths at the start)
