One was another of the numerous short-lived bands that have come to form a hugely complex picture of the tail-end of the 1960s. One were born out of an earlier revolution, the roots of which can be traced to the mid-'60s R&B scene, which gave way to the psychedelic and progressive blues scenes a few years later. Various members had come up through the beat ranks in Timebox, Loose Ends, The Rogues, Happy Magazine, and Gass, all enjoying varying degrees of success, and by the end of the decade they would come together to form the progressive outfit One. After a lone self-titled album on Fontana (released in the UK, Spain, France, and Germany) and two 1970 singles containing album tracks, the dream was quickly over. That sole album, originally issued in 1969 and now highly sought-after by collectors of British progressive rock, is available here in professionally remastered sound with a bonus track taken from the band's 1970 split single with French pop artist César, thus collecting all of One's recorded output. Includes background liners and rare archival photos.

The bare principles of unparalleled hippie euphoria; a climax of communal head-sounds with disturbing Indian vibes in a deranged marriage of ambient absurdity and financial hallucinations. Spearheaded by Reality D. Blipcrotch, this San Francisco bunch of longhairs and friends of Jefferson Airplane realized their potent raga potential in 1972 with the extraordinary debut album Come. Exploding B-sides, whistling teapots, and pop-up marijuana leaves only form half the story... welcome to the world of 1. Digitally remastered from the original recording; includes informative background liners and rare archival photos.

KM 003EP

"Tobias von Hofsten springs from a generation of talented Swedish producers, alongside producers like Cari Lekebusch and Adam Beyer, that in the mid-'90s defined the typical Swedish/Stockholm techno sound. This EP Have a Heart is the result of a producer who puts all of his heart into his music. The first track, 'Deep Thought,' is full proof of this. Kick, bass line, piano stab and a drum programming from above, together turns into one of the funkiest pieces of music ever to be pressed onto vinyl. If punk music is reduced, straight forward and efficient rock music, 'Deep Thought' is reduced, straight forward and efficient dance music. The second track on the A-side, 'Sexmachine,' is raw, distorted and compressed, but at the same time a very delicate techno track. If funk is sex, 'Sexmachine' is machine funk. The B-side and the track 'Kontrafunk' is Tobias von Hofsten's most recent creation. Still the production is all analog. As a typical Tobias von Hofsten produced track, 'Kontrafunk' only contains what is necessary for maximal effect."
