2008 album from the Prog Rockers, their 14th album overall. Retaining the spirit of adventure from the band's Vertigo years and the sheer beauty and audacity of their Island albums, Now eloquently brings Jade Warrior into the 21st Century with an album of beautifully crafted songs and extreme dynamics. This album has been described as "the most emotional, the most mature and most deeply human album Jade Warrior has ever created".

The duo of guitarist Tony Duhig and virtuoso flautist and woodwind player Jon Field were signed to Island records in 1974, following the recent break up of the four piece Jade Warrior (who recorded three albums for Vertigo records between 1970 and 1973). Island founder Chris Blackwell signed the duo upon the recommendation of Steve Winwood, declaring Jade Warrior to be "an ornament to my label." Blackwell gave Duhig and Field access to unlimited studio time to create four albums that were later hailed as instrumental masterpieces, all of which fused ethnic African and far eastern influences with superbly innovative rock guitar playing by Tony Duhig. "Way of the Sun" was perhaps the band's most fully realised work, drawing upon South American musical influences which blended effortlessly with western rock. Remastered from the original master tapes and feature extensive liner notes, deluxe slip case packaging and fully restored artwork.

Finally available are two albums from Jade Warrior's lost years following their departure from Island Records. Horizen is seeing its first ever release on CD! Even its original vinyl release was quite obsure and a major find for any lucky Jade Warrior fan who stumbled across a copy. Horizen is comparable to their Island releases and includes the work Images of Dune, composed for the soundtrack of the movie Dune. It seems Dino de Laurentis was a fan of the band and requested a submission from them for the film. Unfortunately for all concerned some unscrupulous worker in the producer's office kept him from receiving their tape.
At Peace is a totally different kind of Jade Warrior album exploring the more ambient side of the band's nature. Sadly it was to be Tony Duhig's last album as he passed away not long after. With these two CD's, it marked the first time that the entire Jade Warrior catalog had been available on CD, albeit temporarily!
Jade Warrior/Distant Echoes ....import CD $18.99
The brilliant progressive rock pioneers, Jade Warrior are renowned for their musical style. Distant Echoes features Tom Newman, who worked with Mike Oldfield on Tubular Bells 1 and 2, Jon Field (flutes, EWI, congas), Colin Henson (guitars) and Dave Sturt (Cipher on fretless bass). The theme of the album focuses on footprints made by 3 hominids, three and a half million years ago in the volcanic ash. Thoughts must go to who made these marks now turned to stone, and what their dreams and beliefs must have been. This recording will carefully take us through the mystery so these ancient people become distant echoes of ourselves. Distant Echoes was the band's most recent album from the 1990s which never got the distribution it deserved. Now, specially mastered for CD, this is a truly atmospheric album, which will appeal to both Ambient and Progressive Rock fans alike.
Jade Warrior/Breathing the Storm ....import CD $18.99
Jade Warrior the legendary 70's progressive rock band, have gained a reputation for their pioneering music. Jon Field was originally in the band July along with Tony Duhig who died whilst a member of Jade Warrior. This album is a tribute to Tony whose talent and inspiration no doubt is reflected on the tracks of this recording. Breathing The Storm also features Colin Henson on electric, acoustic, midi guitar and keyboards and Dave Sturt (Cipher) on fretless bass, percussion and keyboards. The music on this album evolved from a visual concept inspired by the Chaos Theory whereby tiny events in time through interaction make dramatic changes throughout the world. The surface of the ocean is moved by the wind, bending to logic as it reacts to force and gravity. A tropical deluge moves high over the continents, bringing life to the land…. Breathing The Storm is a re- issue of their second most recent album of the 1990s which was originally released on the small independent English label Red Hot. Lovingly re-mastered for CD this beautiful, atmospheric and stunning album, is a must for ambient and Progressive Rock fans
Jade Warrior/Jade Warrior ....import CD $20.99
Jade Warrior - an eclectic group led by Jon Field (percussion) and Tony Duhig (guitar) – are hailed pioneers of World and New Age music. The group released three albums, 'Jade Warrior', 'Released' and 'Last Autumn's Dream,' and their sound combined a straightforward rock style with the varied tempo changes and experimental instrumentation typical of early '70s ‘Art rock’ bands. This reissue of British prog /art rock, originally released in 1971, presents tracks that are positively strange. The sound ranges from tribal music to an indescribable sort of psychedelic rock. Superbly performed and very unusual.
Jade Warrior/Released (Limited Edition) ....import CD $21.99
Innovative musical concepts are featured on this marvellous, much sought after second album by a unique British group which blends Eastern influences with elements of rock and folk music. The founder members of Jade Warrior were guitarist Tony Duhig, his flute-playing partner Jon Field, and vocalist Glyn Havard. Drums and saxophones augmented the original trio for 'Released,' which was the group's second album on the progressive Vertigo label and first issued in 1971. Hailed by many fans as one of the group's most popular and important albums, it comprises eight tracks featuring the interplay between the vocals, powerful guitar and melodic flute solos. As well as such imaginative compositions as 'Three Horned Dragon King,' 'Eyes On You' and 'Water Curtain Cave,' it includes the tracks '(We Have) Reason To Believe' and 'Barazinbar,' which were released as a single. A bonus item features another version of album track 'Minnamoto's Dream,' which has a different ending and will be of special interest to the band's worldwide army of fans. This is entrancing world music from the Seventies and way ahead of its time, and it is packaged as a replica of its original fold out poster-sleeve. Special edition original vinyl artwork, in six panel, fold out poster style CD digi-sleeve format (all card wallet – no plastic) plus extra inserted fold-out poster.
Jade Warrior/Last Autumn's Dream (Limited Edition) ....import CD $21.99
Jade Warrior was one of the most intriguing and inventive bands signed to the Vertigo label in the early Seventies. 'Last Autumn's Dream' was their third album, first released in 1972 and features the late Tony Duhig (guitar), Glyn Havard (vocals, bass) and Jon Field (flute, congas, percussion), together with Allan Price (drums) and David Duhig (lead guitar). The band's unusual name reflects their interest in Eastern music (a 'Jade Warrior' means a Japanese Samurai swordsman who is also interested in art and poetry). The Jade Warrior group was a unique concept, and the music on this CD has great subtlety that progressive rock fans will find especially appealing. Among the highlights are such songs as 'A Winter's Tale' and 'The Demon Trucker' as well as instrumental numbers such as 'Dark River' and 'Obedience.' The liner notes feature an interview with original group member Glyn Havard.

Jade Warrior fans have been waiting for these releases for a long time! Finally remastered and available on CD, the first two Jade Warrior albums (Last Autumn's Dream is now out of print, sorry) originally released on Vertigo in 1971 and 1972. These releases featured the trio of Tony Duhig, Jon Fields and Glyn Halvard.

Something old, yet something new from Jade Warrior! Eclipse and Fifth Element were recorded around 1973 by the original Jade Warrior lineup (Jon Field, Tony Duhig, and Glyn Havard). They were planned to be followups on the Vertigo label following their third album, Last Autumn's Dream. But Vertigo cancelled the band's contract before they were released. The set of tracks on Eclipse includes the three previously available only on the 'Reflections' collection, two available only on the U.S. and European versions of the Vertigo Records Suck It And See samplers, and two never before released. All performances on The Fifth Element CD are seeing their very first release. One composition, 'On the Mountain of Fruit,' eventually evolved to become part of Jade Warrior's first album for Island, the classic Floating World.
Nirvana/Local Anaesthetic ....import CD $21.99
Strikingly innovative solo album from Patrick Campbell-Lyons, founder of legendary psychedelic group Nirvana. (This intriguing outfit is not to be confused with the Seattle group that achieved fame in the 1990s). On this album, first released in 1971 on the 'spiral' Vertigo label, Campbell-Lyons revived the Nirvana concept and teamed up with various musicians including Tony Duhig and Jon Field of Jade Warrior and saxophonist Mel Collins. The CD has two long compositions, 'Modus Operandi' a psychedelic epic co-written by Campbell-Lyons and Patrick Joseph Kelly and 'Home' a sustained five-part suite of emotive songs. Here is a group that defied conventions, even during a period of pop and rock experimentation and broke many boundaries with unpredictable, often magical results.
July/July ....import CD $15.99
Rev-Ola - They started out as a skiffle act called The Playboys and then became an R&B combo, The Tomcats, before changing their name to July in 1968, when they recorded what later became one of the most sought-after British psychedelic sixties albums of all time. The album's main appeal is its haunting brand of psychedelia and Rev-Ola are delighted to announce that this special CD issue has four bonus tracks. Tony Duhig (guitarist) and John Field (keyboards, flute) went on to be in Jade Warrior and Tom Newman later released solo albums on Virgin and Decca.
Dogstar Poets/Off Planet ....import CD $17.99
We are thrilled & honoured to present original Jade Warrior members Glyn Havard (bass & vocals) and David Duhig (guitars, keyboards, percussion, etc.), who have formed this truly inspired splinter group 'DOGSTAR POETS'. Former Jade Warrior percussionist Alan Price also contributes tabla to a couple tracks. While definitely a move forward, the roots of the origingal Jade Warrior are still very much in evidence especially with the voice of Havard and the guitar of Duhig, influence greatly by Jimi Hendrix as well as his late brother, Tony Duhig. Their rock pedigree as innovators can never be more apparent than in what is revealed within this incredible album.
Cipher/One Who Whispers ....import CD $18.99
Comprising saxophonist/flautist Theo Travis (Gong) and bassist/sound designer Dave Sturt (Jade Warrior), Cipher announce the follow up album to their acclaimed debut, No Ordinary Man. One Who Whispers further explores their unique soundworld mixing live flute, sax and bass with dark soundscapes and hypnotic layers of looped instrumental atmospheres. One Who Whispers was co-produced by Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree) and features the glissando guitar textures of Gong's Daevid Allen and a collaboration with synth texturalist Richard Barbieri (Japan/Rain Tree Crow/Jansen Barbieri & Karn).
Cipher/Elemental Forces ....import CD $18.99

Cipher's third album Elemental Forces finds the core duo of Theo Travis and Dave Sturt working alongside versatile percussionist Steve Hubback. Augmenting the band's trademark fusion of ingeniously looped compositional structures and highly melodic improvisations with a more pronounced Eastern meditative influence, Elemental Forces is an exquisite and accessible blend of accident and intention, intensity and beauty.
