daevid allen
Stoned Innocent Frankenstein (CD)

Unreleased mixes and versions
Release date not set

A 'Camembert Eclectique' job for Bananamoon. Stunning unreleased mixes and totally radical head-altering versions unheard for over 30 years. Robert Wyatt's drumming more obvious on a couple of the tracks is amazing. It does make you wonder whether the correct 'final' mix was sent to the pressing plant - no they wouldn't have got that wrong, would they?. With a annotated and illustrated booklet.

Sixty Minutes With... (CD)

Compiled from Voiceprint Gong releases
Release date unknown

A mystery at the moment as no-one knows what is on this release.


The Invisible Opera Company Of Tibet (UK version)
The Jewel in the Lotus (CD)

Release date not set

A complete overhaul is being executed by the original engineer Dave Kendall. All the original tracks are being re-mixed and mastered.

Here & Now
Off The Cuff, Volume 1 (CD)

Re-mastered live '79 recordings
Re-mastering now

'Off The Cuff' was Here & Now's first live tape release sold only at gigs and by limited mail-order. Using the original tapes Steffe is bringing this classic of live festival space rock jamming, recorded during UK free tours throughout '79 into the digital age. The resulting sound quality is apparently astounding. To be further expanded with previously unreleased material from the same tours.


Here & Now
Off The Cuff, Volume 2 (CD)

Re-mastered live '79 festival space jamming

Recorded at the Fishbach Festival, Germany in May '79 and originally the second side of the legendary 'Off the Cuff' tape.


Steffe and Friends
Bubble Up On Dub, Volume 2 (CD)

Psychedelic dub
Recording completed, mixing and mastering required.

Most tracks have been recorded by Steffe and various members the B.U.O.D. collective.... Previous release: Bubble Up On Dub, Volume 1 (CD)


Gong
Live Etc. (2/3 CD Box Set)

1977's Live Etc. re-mastered expanded reissue
Stuck in a legal mire...

All the great live material of the original album re-mastered with at least one, maybe two CDs of added live Gong material from the same era. May include the very well recorded and played complete Gong live at Bremen German radio broadcast from 1974. With the full enhanced illustrated booklet job as well. Original CD version info (product unavailable) - Live Etc.


Invisible Opera Company of Tibet (UK)
Open for Is-ness (CD)

Recorded, needs final mixing.
Completely stalled due to lack of funds.

Sparkling Invisible or Indivisible Co-Opera Net album featuring Tim Flatus, Jim Peters and Brian Zero.


Zorch
Retrospective (CD)

Some of the best mid-70's synth sounds you (n)ever heard
Re-mastered studio recordings, hovering in the twilight zone...

There is a crying need for the definitive Zorch retrospective. There are a limited number of photographs of the band back then (do you have any?). So with a few pages of considered writing the definitive Zorch retrospective CD set almost compiles itself. Messrs Zepix and Brooks, off with those hyper-critical sunglasses, banish those fears and stand rightly unabashed in the spotlight of history. Previous releases: Live at Glastonbury (CD), Ouroborus (CD)


Lady June and Mark Hewins
Rebela (CD)

A glorious Canterbury melange.
Studio recordings languishing on a shelf - no idea if this will ever see the light of day.

Final mistress-work of the late and much missed Lady June, brought into musical being by Mark Hewins. Guests include daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth, Theo Travis, Keith tha Bass, Mike Howlett, John Greaves, the late Pip Pyle and Elton Dean, plus many more. A stunning range of music with a 'modern' mythological libretto.
