About this product
Coming off the heels of 2022's A New Kind of Love, A Trip To The Moon sees GFO diving even deeper in the worlds of film music, exotica, and psychedelic surf rock. The aim is to create a layered and collaged listening experience with more elements than you could possibly pick out in a single listen. The guitars are fuzzy and flooded with spring reverb, and the horns are arranged in a studio big band fashion. It's full of big compositions with garage rock attitude. Influences range everywhere from Eddie Palmieri and Esquivel to The Lively Ones, Dusty Springfield, and War. The tracks are tied together by real recorded transmissions from the Apollo moon missions. The concept for the album is a story about a woman stranded on earth by her cosmonaut partner, left to ponder his whereabouts and whether or not he'll make it back from the cosmos alive.

Released in 1971, Fuzzy Duck is a cult classic of British progressive rock, blending hard-edged riffs with swirling organ textures and psychedelic flair. The album showcases the raw energy and musical dexterity of a short-lived but formidable London-based quartet. Featuring Mick Hawksworth on bass and vocals, Roy Sharland on Hammond organ, Paul Francis on drums, and Garth Watt-Roy on guitar and vocals, the band delivers a sound that's both muscular and melodic. Their only studio album is a showcase of tight arrangements, extended instrumental passages, and a gritty, underground aesthetic. With roots in bands like Andromeda, Killing Floor, and The Crazy World of Arthur Brown, the members brought seasoned experience and a fearless approach to experimentation. Fuzzy Duck captures the spirit of early '70s rock with a progressive edge, appealing to fans of Deep Purple, Atomic Rooster, and Uriah Heep. The production is unpolished in the best way-raw, immediate, and full of character. Ideal for collectors of obscure prog and heavy psych, this LP remains a prized gem in vinyl circles.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 . Prequelle follows Ghost's third studio album, Meliora, and it's accompanying EP Popestar, which elevated the Swedish rock band into the pantheon of the greatest rock bands on earth and resulted in a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. Prequelle delves into the plague, the apocalypse, and dark ages. Ghost was formed in Linköping, Sweden in 2006. The band is easily recognizable owing greatly to it's eccentric on-stage presence. Five of the group's six members, it's 'Nameless Ghouls,' wear virtually identical, face-concealing costumes. The most distinguishable member is it's vocalist, called Papa Emeritus, who wears a prosthetic mask of skull face paint and appears as what can be described as a Inchdemonic anti-Pope.Inch
