Over the Edge

For years this was my favorite 7" in the whole world. I still get goose bumps when I put it on. This to me is Dead Moon's finest moment. They never did make a bad record and their live album Live Evil is the best live record I know. But this one just blew my mind completely when I first heard it . It's strange that you can still find this used for a pretty good price, I guess they never really got that big in the States. In Germany and Scandinavia they were pretty big though.

Frippe!

Swedish free jazz legend Mats Gustafsson recommended this record to me. Bengt "Frippe" Nordström's Meaningless. This is a collection of some of his collaborations from the 60s. Nordström's records are extremely rare today and are hard to come by. The music is really unique!!! Nordström is mostly known for releasing the first Albert Ayler record on his own Bird Note imprint.
