Schlock-Wire: Esoteric Recordings Apr/May Release Slate - Jade Warrior, Flash & Krautrock Galore!

Here is the latest missive from the progtastic people at Esoteric Recordings - a reliably excellent reissue label that cranks out a jaw-dropping number art-rock titles every month plus other cultish forms of retro listening and the occasional new album from a vintage name.  This covers the release slates for April and May.  Art rock fans will be happy to see that Esoteric is delving into the catalog of ethno-music experimentalists Jade Warrior and reissuing another overlooked album from Pete Banks' post-Yes outfit, Flash.  Even better, they will be reissuing the studio recordings of Schicke, Fuhrs And Frohling, a fantastic Krautrock trio who put out a string of amazing cosmic/eletronic albums.  Read on for all progtastic titles...Hi guysJust updating you on our April and May reissues---Aprils will all be ready by release date and have gone to factoryTracklistings and pre-orders for Aprils titles can be found on the websiteswww.esotericrecordings.com and www.atomhenge.comMany thanks to Sid Smith who has stepped up to the mark for us and will now be updating our home page on the website weekly!!
