Greek trio playing free jazz. Agamemnon Moustakas on piano, Perseas Rizos on saxophone and Stephanos Chytiris on drums. I like this a lot because despite being sufficiently abstract and improvised it also has several quiet moments and repetitive parts. 2020 self-released cd.
Just one of the absolutely best Wolf Eyes-related release. Unrelenting cryptic noise/free jazz/ambient darkness. 2012 tape & 2 X cdr on American Tapes.
I had written about Werl 3 last year, which Aidan Baker's collab with Gareth Davies and Tomas Jarmyr (Motorpsycho). This album is the precursor of that one, but not in Baker's usual ambient/drone style. This is Baker sodomizing the guitar and Jarmyr blasting everywhere, playing an unstoppable prog/free jazz/post metal delirium, always reaching higher and higher. 2016 cd on Consouling Sounds.
PS: On vacation as of yesterday, so no posts for a few days.
Too damn good to be true. John Olson on sax and noise, Ben Hall on drums, Hans Buetow on cello, free jazz/noise fuckery. 2010 cdr on Editions Brokenresearch.
If Django Reinhardt played improvised this is what it would sound like. An avant-garde improvised - but also "structured" - string quartet with guitar destroying everything. 2009 cd on Konnex Records.

Epic one-off collaboration between Masaya Nakahara of Violent Onsen Geisha/Hair Stylistics, Shusaku Hariya of Computer Soup and some other people, playing a great mix of free jazz, musique concrete, fried electronics and some AMAZING Gerogerigegege-like sex moans near the end! 2000 cd on Cha-Bashira.

At this point, MB had already started shifting into the sprawling psych/free jazz/ambient fourth world primitive cannibal spaceship that they now are, and this one is really a recording you can get lost in. 2015 LP on Psychic Sounds.

The second full-length of Million Brazilians is kind of monotonous, one-sided psych-rock/free jazz improv with lots of percussion. Certainly one of their least successful efforts, but a good reader asked for it to be uploaded so there you are. 2010 LP on Psychic Sounds.
Starts deceptively thinking you're into their most rock records, but the two tracks in the middle are some of their jazziest to date, only to end up in an epic heavy ambient jazz ritual jam straight from the Amon Duul cauldron. 2016 tape on Lost Discoveries Exotic Music Shop.
Solo sax free jazz improvisations. 2020 tape on Sound Holes.
