Camouflage are one of the few German bands to have been making music successfully at home and abroad for the last couple of decades. The Great Commandment (1987) and Love Is A Shield (1989) were actually worldwide hits. After four albums, Camouflage felt it was time to experiment. This phase reached its zenith with the album Spice Crackers in 1995 -- the most daring, most interesting work they ever released. Electropop tracks sit side by side with hypnotic, repetitive, spheric tracks. Now, 30 years later, Spice Crackers is finally released on vinyl for the first time! Heiko Maile, Camouflage founder member and producer of Spice Crackers, has this to say about working on the album: "On our previous productions, we started out with just a few songs, worked on these as demos and then went to an external studio to completely re-record them with a producer. Having the idea to produce an album in our own studio, thus giving us more time to experiment, basically wanting to do the whole thing differently, was the beginning of an interminable recording session. Once we got going, surrounded by synthesizers, drum machines, guitars, microphones, a mammoth analogue mixing desk and a few pieces of recording equipment, we simply taped everything that came into our heads. Only a few of these tracks -- I'm deliberately refraining from calling them songs -- ended up on the original CD. It was a very formative and inspiring time for us in terms of album production."

Limited anniversary edition: hand numbered, yellow transparent vinyl, 500 copies available! From 1971 to 1977, Peter Baumann was a member of the legendary Berlin band Tangerine Dream. The group were pioneers of the so-called Berliner Schule (Berlin School) which had such a profound impact on electronic music. He produced a number of momentous albums at his Paragon Studio (by the likes of Conrad Schnitzler, Cluster, Hans-Joachim Roedelius) and also enjoyed success as a solo artist. The influence of Tangerine Dream can clearly be heard on Romance 76, although the arrangements are comparatively minimalist -- a state of affairs for which David Bowie can be held partially responsible. Open to new ideas, Baumann's positive aura and eagerness to experiment galvanized the band's music almost instantaneously. His catchy melodies, rich in positivity, propelled Tangerine Dream into the charts. After five years of chart appearances and extensive touring through Europe and North America, punctuated by several albums, Baumann called time on his solo career with Romance 76. This shift in focus led him to leave Tangerine Dream towards the end of 1977. He and a friend set up the Paragon Studio in Berlin, which would earn a prominent place in music production history, but that's another story. Still a member of the band in 1976, Baumann rented a hall in the ufaFabrik, Berlin to record Romance 76. Sonic similarities to Tangerine Dream can be explained by the fact that the group used the same space for gig rehearsals, giving Baumann access to their instruments. The distinctive sound of a modular synthesizer system christened "The Big One" can be detected on Romance 76, for example, along with a Mellotron. Some tracks on the album, such as "Romance" and "Phase By Phase", are relatively minimalist in character. This airiness lends the unusual synth sounds space to unfold in all their glory. A state of affairs for which David Bowie is partially responsible, as Baumann recalls: "We were in Berlin and met him for dinner, then he would call in while I was recording the album, listening carefully to what I was working on. I explained to him what still needed to be done, but Bowie suggested: 'Leave it as it is, there's enough there already.'" At which point Baumann decided to look at the tracks in question as finished.

"Control was created during a phase of Schnitzler's work in which his friendship with Peter Baumann (formerly of Tangerine Dream) allowed him to try out and use new electronic sound generators and peripheral technologies. He never used these innovations merely for their own sake, but always put them at the service of his artistic flair for experimentation. His signature style is clearly recognizable on Control. The album seems to be a kind of compilation of different musical approaches. Tracks 5 and 9, for example, are classic Schnitzler: sparkling cascades of electronic sound particles, interspersed with longer and shorter glissandi, constant movement in all directions. But then there are tracks 1, 8, 11, and 12 -- and here I can only speculate -- where it seems as if Schnitzler wanted to combine a few elements of traditional harmony with his own sound aesthetic in these pieces. And why not? He was completely undaunted by new things. Most important was that the music remained within the framework of his strict overall concept. There is no spacing between the tracks on the original LP, released in 1981 by the DYS label in the US. The A and B sides are originally titled simply 'Control A' and 'Control B', and the thirteen pieces are strung together without interruption. Strange. About half of the tracks on Control are apparently faded in and/or out. This could indicate that Schnitzler either drew on 'overlong' archive material to extract passages suitable for the album, or that he shortened the newly recorded music. Speculation is pointless -- we can no longer ask Schnitzler. In any case, he opted for relatively short pieces averaging three minutes in length, some even shorter, others a little longer. All in all, this creates the impression of sketches. Sketches with sharply defined contours, however: as with almost all his albums, Schnitzler gives us listeners clear information about where he currently resides in his musical universe. For Schnitzler, too, the journey was its own reward, and there were many stops 'on the way to the complete Schnitzler'; he never lingered at any of them for long. His artistic restlessness and curiosity were his lifeblood. And to stay with the metaphor, Control is a strong dose of that elixir." --Asmus Tietchens, 2025

Convex is one of a series of LPs that Schnitzler released himself in the 1980s. It is one of his LPs that convey virtually no visible information. Only the title is printed in large letters on the cover of Convex, and in tiny letters that are easy to overlook, it says: "Cover Conrad und Richard." The labels on the original LP indicate that one side is called "Convex" and the other "Concav." That's all the information there is.
"On Convex, as on many of his other albums, Schnitzler definitely used a sample-and-hold generator (S/H generator), a device that converts sounds stored as desired into random sequences of tones. This is important to know because this album is also non-keyboard music, i.e., it was not played 'by hand'; instead, the experimental setup is: synthesizer -- sequencer -- S/H generator. Whether Schnitzler could foresee the respective results for each piece or whether he let himself be surprised is uncertain. But I believe he let himself be surprised and decided in each case whether to accept the result or not. Because one of the cornerstones of his artistic concept is controlled chance. However, it is not this method that makes Convex so special, but the slow tempo of the music. With one exception, the other pieces are almost sluggishly slow. Schnitzler certainly never had ambient music in mind, as his music is defined throughout by transparency and dynamic movement. However, Convex does meet some of the criteria defined by Eric Satie for 'musique d'ameublement' and also the concept of 'ambient' further developed by Brian Eno: its calmness and apparent uniformity -- both of which require no attention and yet are a pleasant addition to the atmosphere of a room. A prerequisite for this, however, is a discreet volume level. Schnitzler would probably turn in his grave if he knew that I was placing his music in the vicinity of ambient. And of course it's not ambient. With Convex, Schnitzler remains consistently true to himself. The only unusual thing is that he experiments with 'slowness' here. Schnitzler has carefully faded out some pieces, even though they are suitable for filling an entire LP side. If I were to stick with my thought experiment, this would be another characteristic of ambient music. Convex raises questions that cannot be answered with certainty. But that is precisely why Schnitzler's music remains so interesting." --Asmus Tietchens, 2025

Sculptures is composer and pianist Derek Hunter Wilson's third solo album, an ode to the ancient and contested shorelines of the Pacific Northwest. Deeply embedded in place, the six longform pieces that make up the album reflect the artist's journey through grief (including losing his father) and the passage of time, each one built upon loops created from extended sessions with harpist Joshua Ward. Like the foggy, moss-encrusted locations that inspired the album, Sculptures has a timeless feel to it, shadowed by the rumblings of a colonial system in decay. Award-winning poet Mathias Svalina composed a poem for the album, entitled "A Dream for Sculptures." It is reproduced on an insert that accompanies each LP. Derek Hunter Wilson is a composer and multi-instrumentalist based in Portland. He has released two solo albums on Beacon Sound, Travelogue (BNSD 016LP, 2017), and Steel, Wood, & Air (BNSD 035LP, 2019), as well as a collaborative album with Location Services entitled Wake (BNSD 066LP, 2022).

"The long-lost 1979 dub masterpiece from Channel One Studio! Features the unmistakable 'rockers' sound of The Revolutionaries -- deep, heavy, and revolutionary. Dutch Man Dub captures the deep Channel One groove -- hypnotic basslines, crashing snares, and cosmic echoes that stretch far beyond Kingston. Each track is a masterclass in dub minimalism, where rhythm becomes meditation and space becomes instrument. Track Highlights: 'Night Dub,' 'Dutch Man,' 'Africa Is A Must,' 'Burning Mike' Legacy: Once obscure, now recognized as a classic of the late-'70s dub era. It captures the raw Channel One sound and showcases dub as meditative and spatial. CD includes booklet with sleeve notes."

LP version. "Originally released in 1979, Cumulus is a long-overlooked treasure from British pianist, composer, and arranger Laurie Holloway -- a virtuoso best known for his work as a musical director for BBC television and as a collaborator with some of the U.K.'s finest jazz and pop artists. Here, Holloway steps firmly into the spotlight with a set that bridges sophisticated jazz composition and the breezy textures of late-'70s fusion. Cumulus drifts between moods of elegance and experimentation, layering electric piano and synthesizer atmospherics over deft rhythm section interplay. Holloway's refined melodic sensibility -- sharpened through years of arranging for major broadcasters and performers -- shines throughout, blending harmonic complexity with a light, unhurried touch that recalls contemporaries like Bob James, Dave Grusin, and Alan Hawkshaw. Now newly reissued by Morgan Blue Town, this long-out-of-print recording reintroduces one of the U.K.'s most accomplished yet understated jazz craftsmen. Cumulus is both a time capsule of late-'70s British fusion and a testament to Holloway's enduring musical grace and inventiveness."

Originally released in 2020 and using a deliberately restricted hardware setup and recording most of the tracks in a single take, Blizzards dives straight into the eye of the storm for a turbulent 11-track package. The title -- a partial nod to the tumultuousness of British politics -- but equally apt at describing Nathan's cyclical melodic leads, serves as a visual cue to accompany each track. Glistening nodes are spun into geometric oddities before spiraling through frantic rhythmic frameworks, from the radiant layers of "Pentiamonds" to the dissonant delirium of "Stepping Stone." Beginning with the intention of "soundtracking the ideal rave," Blizzards borrows heavily from Nathan's approach to his live show, capturing unadulterated moments of creative insight to form microscopically detailed aesthetic statements. Whilst the lush melodies he is known for are central to the album, there is also a heavy dose of experimentation, expanding on the familiar sonic palette of his earlier work. For every warm synth and resolved cadence there is an atonal spiral and gritty distortion lurking around the corner. As might also be expected of his music, polyrhythms feature throughout, sometimes taking on a life of their own but always providing a precise percussive grounding for melodies to weave in and out of. The effects of this are at times disorienting, at others psychedelic, but always intriguing, owing to the influences of early rave and IDM as much as folklorism and spirituality. Norfolk born and bred, Nathan's first encounters with electronic music came via the radio, hearing the likes of Aphex Twin and Orbital, and reading about the equipment that they used in magazines. This was the stimulus for him to buy some gear and begin his own sonic experiments and, linking with James Holden in 2003, Nathan's early output came via his fledgling Border Community label.

Originally released in 2021. The anthemic "Sandstone" is Nathan Fake's homage to early '90s Orbital and UK techno, which were the biggest influences on his formative music-writing years. With huge waves of bass and a wide-eyed emotive rush, he perfectly encapsulates the '90s techno/trance apex, but brings it bang up-to-date with his trademark sonic wizardry. French musician Irène Drésel transforms "Vectra" into an epic and expansive dark trance banger, while Afrodeutsche AKA Henrietta Smith-Rolla strips "Cry Me A Blizzard" right back to its chords. Nathan provides his own live studio recording of "Torch Song," which melds choppy beat juggling with gorgeously glistening synths.

Originally released in 2023. Following a short, scene-setting "Arrival" -- a simple major chord arpeggio played on a Jupiter 6 which sounds like curtains opening at dawn, Nathan Fake's Crystal Vision begins apace with "The Grass," which hurtles like a precision-tuned bullet train through Arctic tundra. The undulating effect of compression is emphasized by the classic techno trope where two rhythms jar yet interlock, creating an exquisitely disorientating strobe-like flutter. Inspired by Italo disco but sounding wholly alien and futuristic, "Vimana"'s fizzing buzzsaw arpeggiated bassline, popping snares and bright whirling melody are equally an electro trance melange, with an effervescent major chord Arp that kicks in midway. With chugging slow breakbeats not a million miles from Board Of Canada or trip hop, "Crystal Vision" rolls along, with the melody opening up, revealing more hidden notes as it progresses, building into a fractal, kaleidoscopic mosaic. An emotional outpouring with serotonin surging through the circuitry, classic breakbeats and layers of lazers, "Bibled" has all the hallmarks of a classic. A minimalistic moment of calm midway through the album, "CMD"'s gently comforting dreamscape is conjured with FM stacked and detuned sine waves which are left to breathe, whilst the chunky Chicagoan house jack of "Hawk" brings to mind classic Relief records, but even more detuned and wibbly, and laden with synths. A collaboration with Nathan's close friend and genuine musical hero Clark, "Outsider" finds this dream team alchemizing pure gold that's bigger than the sum of their parts. Skittering, intense, far-reaching end epic, the pair close proceedings on a grandly dramatic note. An in-demand remixer, Fake has added his magic to tracks by Radiohead, Clark, Perc, Jon Hopkins, GoGo Penguin, Dominik Eulberg, Christian Löffler, and Damian Lazarus, working for labels including Ninja Tune, Domino, Warp, Blue Note and Kompakt.

"13 ripping songs totaling 33 minutes from the original 20-song 65 minute master reel tapes, recorded in early February 1978 for producers Flo & Eddie, the night before DMZ (the raw-assed pre-Lyres outfit that never made it!) spent three days trapped by a blizzard recording their Sire album. In the annals of R&R history, as far as local American rock'n'roll scenes go, Boston is hardly ever looked upon in the same shining light as, say, NY, Detroit, San Francisco or even Austin or Seattle. Unlike those other towns, there's never even been a definitive book about the scene. Maybe it's because Boston is a perennial hard-luck place (just witness the Red Sox) with a serious New York inferiority complex hanging over its head. Boston is ignored by the industry at large, despite the fact that the city has spawned countless heavyweights in both a commercial (Aerosmith, Boston, the Cars) and aesthetic (Modern Lovers, Real Kids, Mission Of Burma) sense. Boston was the first US city to directly reflect the influence of the Velvet Underground, as epitomized by the Modern Lovers, who've proven to be almost as influential in their own right. Fast forward to the days of hardcore, and Boston was one of the pre-eminent strongholds of shave-head mania, shoring up its rep as an angry, intolerant New England outpost. Naturally the town has produced more than its share of local legends: Willie Alexander (who actually was in the Velvet Underground, albeit when the band was on its Lou Reed-less last legs); Jonathan Richman (geekus supremus -- no small thing considering the subsequent indie hordes, to whom he's a savior); and most of all, the great Real Kids, who could've been the equivalent of the MC5, Stooges or Flamin' Groovies in the annals of American rock if it hadn't been for a series of bad breaks. The fact is, the scene in Boston was more or less built by a string of bands who are so organically -interconnected that it seems like an act of God. Includes four-page insert with info, pics and Rick Coraccio's ultra-detailed journal on how it all went down! LP includes download code."

White vinyl version. Cold Spring marks a decade since the label first released Coil's landmark album Backwards, with a special 10-year anniversary vinyl reissue. After the ground-breaking release of 1990's Love's Secret Domain album, Coil were not dormant; the main project was Backwards, which was started in 1992, updated considerably between 1993 and 1995, and transferred in 1996 to New Orleans, where it was finished in the magic of the Nothing studios of Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails). The album saw the fruition of Jhonn Balance's recent vocal coaching, producing haunting, passionate vocals, while reaching new heights. 23 years after its initiation, these tracks have been beautifully preserved by Danny Hyde and are finally available in highest quality audio. Differing substantially from the later, remixed incarnation, "The New Backwards" (2008), Backwards contains the original versions of Coil's much-loved tracks; "A Cold Cell" and "Fire Of The Mind," which have appeared on various compilations over the years, and are now presented as originally intended. This album is the essential bridge between LSD and the later "Musick To Play In The Dark" series. It is an essential conduit, to understand the journey that was taken. 180g heavyweight vinyl in a gatefold matt-laminate sleeve with silver detail.

Beat Records presents a reissue of Ennio Morricone's score for the cult western My Name Is Nobody, directed in 1973 by Tonino Valerii and starring Terence Hill, Henry Fonda, Leo Gordon, Jean Martin, Geoffrey Lewis, Piero Lulli, Benito Stefanelli, R.G. Armstrong, Alexander Allerson, Franco Angrisano, Mario Brega, Marc Mazza, Remus Peets, and Antoine Saint John. Ennio Morricone composed one of the soundtracks most beloved by his fans around the world, using elements typical of his genius, such as Alessandro Alessandroni's whistling, the voice of Edda Dell'Orso (and many other highly esteemed soloists), but also mixed with some sonic innovations, such as in "Mucchio Selvaggio," where the composer even ventures to include Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries." This CD was created using the stereo/mono masters of the original session, with a total running time of 74:21. Mastering by Claudio Fuiano, production notes by Andrea Morandi, graphic layout by Daniele De Gemini.

"Spider Taylor crawls over to Dark Entries with Surge Studio Music, an album of archival gay pornographic soundtracks. James Allan Taylor was born into a working-class family in Los Angeles in 1951. Nicknamed 'Spider' by his father due to his frantic energy, Taylor was a natural-born guitarist, gifted with perfect pitch and a voracious musical appetite. Throughout the '70s, he expanded his musical repertoire, playing in bands ranging from country to post-punk, like his outfit Red Wedding, while always looking for new sounds and styles to explore. During this period, Taylor also partnered with his soulmate and musical collaborator, Michael Ely. They were part of a wave of bold, young, gay couples living openly together in the years immediately following the Stonewall Riots. In the early '80s, while working at the West Hollywood gay sex club Basic Plumbing, Taylor met Al Parker, the legendary pornographic actor and director, who recruited Taylor to produce the soundtrack for a film he was working on. Parker's partnership with Steve Scott running Surge Studios produced some of the most popular all-male films of the era. Spider's music was a natural fit for Surge, and throughout 1985 and 1986, he composed the soundtracks for five films produced by the iconic studio. Assisted by engineer Steve Conrad and armed with a drum machine and some synths, Spider's compositions for film veer from the expansive, reverb-drenched 'Rainforest' to the Miami Vice-esque chugger 'Tech.' While Spider thought of this work as little more than a gig, tangential to his real craft, enthusiasts of VHS-era nostalgia and vintage erotica will be brought to bliss. Surge Studio Music is available on both LP and CD, the latter of which includes a 20-minute version of 'Strange Places, Strange Things!' as a bonus track. The album's cover art was designed by Gwenael Rattke, and features stylish images from Surge Studios releases. Also included is an insert featuring liner notes by Will Lewis, a longtime friend of Spider. The music is released from Spider's estate by Michael Ely, Spider's partner of 43 years. The shadow of AIDS lingered over Surge; Steve Scott passed from AIDS-related illness in 1987, and Al Parker succumbed in 1992. In 2014, when it became legal for same-sex couples to marry in Arizona, Spider and Michael finally became wedded. Spider would pass away from liver cancer six months later."

"Somewhere between heaven and hell, there is Fallen Angel. Dark Entries continues its mission of shining light on a generation of composers and musicians lost to AIDS with Brandy Dalton's Fallen Angel, his soundtrack work for the award-winning Fallen Angel series. Brandy was known for many years in the LA underground for his performances with his boyfriend, Robert Woods, who was the resident DJ at Club Fuck. Eventually, they recruited John Munt to form the band Drance, becoming infamous for their high-energy performances and songs that tackled taboo topics like sadomasochism. While Drance explored the aggressive sounds of industrial and EBM, Dalton continued to produce a wide range of electronica, from abstract sonic textures to techno bangers. The Fallen Angel album collects 16 sweaty, sticky cuts composed for the pornographic series Fallen Angel, a trio of leather-focused films released by Titan Studios. The sounds here span from the fractured cyberpunk-rave of 'Swelled' to the tabla-laced trance of 'FA2,' taking listeners on a journey through hedonistic recesses chock full of crunchy digital drum machines and wailing FM synths. This album was originally released on CD in 1999 by Titan Studios, capitalizing on the success of the film franchise. It is reissued on LP as well as CD, featuring six bonus tracks. Artwork for the album, designed by Eloise Shir-Juen Leigh, features stills from the Fallen Angel film. Also included is an insert with liner notes and photographs. This album is dedicated to Brandy, who passed away from AIDS-related illness in 2006, after battling with the disease for 17 years. Brandy's passing was preceded by his best friend and Drance co-founder Robert's death in 1995. Documenting a sonic shift in the '90s bathhouse music, Fallen Angel provides a hardcore BDSM ride, building upon the analogue archival soundtracks that Dark Entries has previously released."

"Group Rhoda returns to Dark Entries with Phase 5, a new LP of synthesizer-driven art-pop. An integral member of the West Coast electronic music scene, Mara Barenbaum has been writing, performing, and plunging into oneiric depths as Group Rhoda since 2009. Barenbaum's songcraft is at once stylistically diffuse and laser-focused, a synesthetic approach that allows her to effortlessly glide between genres and soundworlds while centering her singular poetics. On Phase 5, her fifth LP as Group Rhoda, she waxes nondualistic. Lines between fairytale and fact, between nature and art, between subject and object all dissolve under contemplation. The songs on Phase 5 are perpetually in-between states, deftly shifting form at the blink of an eye. With sleight of hand, 'Field Tone' transmutes from brooding John Carpenter-esque electro into vocoder-driven space disco. 'Dragon Pine' darts from cosmic dub to cybernetic dancehall and back again. The up-tempo darkwave-leaning number 'Aeolian Crossing' dissolves into the void, like sand falling through one's fingers, like a retreating wave. The cover artwork for Phase 5 is by Shawn Reed, and features purple lilies and light refracted through water. All songs on this album were mastered by Ruud Lekx."

Two more lost FEX recordings have emerged from an old demo cassette: "Dead End" and "Sarah." On both songs, guitarist and main songwriter Ture Rückwardt joins forces on lead vocals with his former wife and musical partner Ilona Rückwardt, forming a vocal pairing that channels raw energy and eerie chemistry. Neither song makes the slightest concession to commercial trends. Instead, they feel utterly uncompromising -- wild, strange, and defiantly timeless. In a world obsessed with polish and playlists, "Dead End" and "Sarah" sound like transmissions from a different planet. Both tracks were originally recorded as demos in 1984 in the band's rehearsal room, with Hase engineering.

From the opening notes -- arriving as if in mid-air -- to its final, cheerful burblings, Sean Mac Erlaine and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh's Old Segotia is an album about friendship: both musical and human, the product of two distinctive musicians visiting each other's worlds with a sense of veneration, and a sense of joyful wonder. Here, Mac Erlaine and Ó Raghallaigh meet on common ground developed over 20 years of playing together, with Mac Erlaine's musical language rooted in jazz and sonic experimentation, and Ó Raghallaigh emerging from an Irish traditional music that he has shaped and reshaped in a deeply personal way. In this place, Mac Erlaine and Ó Raghallaigh's music is profoundly integrated and emotionally textured: at times bursting with explosive energy, at times almost sighing into life, but always searching. Here are the touching unison duets of "Cantandor," the lyrical wanderings of "Swallow Dive," or the flirtations with finding a groove in "Reverse Burst." The palette of instruments speaks to the album's feeling of abundance, with Mac Erlaine performing on clarinets, chalumeau d'amore, three different flutes, car hooter, percussion, live electronics, Wurlitzer, synthesizer, vocals and alto saxophone; and with Ó Raghallaigh bringing his signature hardanger d'amore sound plus a turn on the flute and live electronics, too. With the title echoing a well-worn Dublinese expression for "friend," Old Segotia plays out with "Oiche Crua Sna Sleibhte" (A Hard Night in the Mountains), with ornithologist Seán Ronayne's field recordings of birdsong rising out of the musicians' playful explorations, offering a taste of life echoing music, echoing life.

Brazilian avant-jazz vanguardists Grupo Um celebrate their 50th anniversary, sharing a second previously lost 1970s album from the vaults. Nineteen Seventy Seven (titled after the year it was recorded) is another rip-roaring instrumental fusion treasure from the band which spawned from within Hermeto Pascoal's famed mid-1970s São Paulo collective. Like their debut album Starting Point, Grupo Um's Nineteen Seventy Seven was recorded when Brazil's military dictatorship was at its most repressive. Just like Hermeto Pascoal's Viajando Com O Som (1977) and Grupo Um's previous album Starting Point (1975), both of which remained unreleased until the 21st century, Zé Eduardo asserts that the 1977 album was flatly "without any chance to be released at that time." Recorded at Rogério Duprat's Vice-Versa Studios in São Paulo, the group were under both time and space restraints. Expanding from a trio to a quintet, original Grupo Um members Lelo Nazario (keys), Zé Eduardo Nazario (drums), and Zeca Assumpção (bass) were joined by saxophonist Roberto Sion and percussionist Carlinhos Gonçalves. Carlinhos, Zé and Zeca had already played together in the group Mandala, while brothers Lelo and Zé had just finished a stint backing Hermeto Pascoal during his years in São Paulo. Lelo was deeply immersed in modular synthesizer experimentation during this period, working extensively with the ARP2600 and EMS Synthi AKS. These electroacoustic explorations formed the sonic foundation for "Mobile/Stabile," one of his first compositions to merge modular synthesis with Brazilian music, a fusion that would ripple throughout the Brazilian jazz scene. The piece premiered at the first São Paulo International Jazz Festival in 1978, performed by Grupo Um with guest trumpeter Márcio Montarroyos. The version on Nineteen Seventy Seven is the first recording of the composition. Nineteen Seventy Seven combines Afro-Brazilian rhythm, modular synthesis and a plethora of whistles, percussion and effects pedals. Grupo Um's daring music represents a manifesto of resistance during the dictatorship years, but it's one which remains just as relevant today.

The one thing that you cannot expect from an album called Covers by electronic music polymath Ivan Pavlov a.k.a. CoH and the mysterious Wladimir Schall is a simple covers album, though both Pavlov and Schall have paid tribute to their favorites before. The former has recorded an album dedicated to the late John Everall, released in 2017 through Hallow Ground as CoH Plays Everall, and the latter has put out an endlessly looping cassette in 2020 with his take on Satie's Vexations. Much like on these records, the two multi-media artists are not content with the mere reinterpretation of their source material, but strive to reimagine it. According to them, the seven pieces on Covers were conceived as a series of manoeuvres with an ambition to expose the machinery of music in detail and with utter honesty, without making up for the faults of its traditional instruments or of the compositions themselves. Pavlov and Schall's strategy is one of juxtaposition and recontextualization. Taking compositions performed on the piano as a starting point, they let the unfamiliar emerge from all-too familiar tunes and sounds through digital manipulation and electronic processing. Covers includes two pieces that contrast the music of Satie and Ryūichi Sakamoto to let these quiet radicals find common ground in unsuspected ways. Another one turns a four-note motive by Sergei Rachmaninoff into a dense soundscape, while two pieces are inspired by different USSR cartoons, the 1978 animated short-film »Контакт« and the Ну, погоди! series. The common thread that connects these calm, evocative reimaginations is the ambiguity of nostalgia; a sense of Старость не радость as the last piece's title puts it: joy and sadness. Covers is not a usual covers album, but a radical interrogation of the function and failings of memory presented in musical form.

Drawing from traditions of musique concrète and ambient synthesis, The Vertical Luminous creates a world of textural depth and microscopic wonder. Across its tracks, bubbling tones, processed field recordings, and shifting electronic layers intertwine, evoking the sensation of listening in on the hidden rhythms of atoms, molecules, and micro-organisms. While grounded in experimental technique, The Vertical Luminous avoids the academic or austere, instead embracing a mischievous sense of melody and curiosity -- a reminder that exploration and joy can coexist in sound. The result is a record that is both meditative and playful, equally suited to deep listening or casual drift.

As Nathan Fake rises from the nocturnal subterranea and rave catharsis of his previous records, on Evaporator, he resurfaces into the domain of daylight, bringing a tangible sense of air rushing against your face, of big skies, and endless landscapes. The idea of pop accessibility that trickled into 2023's Crystal Vision is refracted here through the prism of sweeping ambient, deep electronica, and trance uplift. Evaporator is Fake's idea of "airy daytime music," with each track a different barometer reading across the album's varying atmospheres, which range from vibrant sunbursts, bracing rainscapes, and fine mists of clement melodics. Border Community alumni Dextro AKA Ewan Mackenzie transmutes his ferocious drumming for Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs Pigs into the blurred choral thump of "Baltasound." "Orbiting Meadows," meanwhile, is his second collaboration with Clark, an eerily idyllic duet where microtonal 18EDO piano clangs slowly twirl around wailing pads. Evaporator marks the junction point of old technology and ever fresh creativity for Nathan. Evaporator continues to prove his necessary presence, with some of his most engaging, varied, and magical music yet. Also available on clear bio-vinyl (IF 1104LP).

"Ushering in a new era, Berlin based, New Zealand heavy psych duo Earth Tongue lower the castle gates on their third album Dungeon Vision, a trove of fuzz-drenched anthems produced by garage rock luminary Ty Segall in Los Angeles. Guitarist Gussie Larkin and drummer Ezra Simons spent the Berlin winter of 2025 refining the album's twelve tracks in their self-described 'windowless cave' rehearsal space, crafting a record that channels both isolation and the duo's live intensity. With the songs finally taking shape and a studio deadline looming, they flew to Los Angeles to turn their hard-won ideas into the real thing. Once there, the band and Ty captured lightning in a bottle, recording and mixing Dungeon Vision in just ten days at Altamira Sound. Tracked live to tape, Dungeon Vision pulses with human energy, fuzz guitars, bone-battering drums, and hauntingly tuneful vocals. Ty Segall's influence is all over the record with Ty choosing the best takes based on feel rather than technical perfection. The 'king of fuzzy guitar tones' pushed the duo to find new sonic textures while championing their raw chemistry. Since their emergence in 2016, Earth Tongue's world-building, visuals, and relentless touring have earned them global attention and a cult-like following. Their 2024 album Great Haunting, also released on In The Red Records, received a Taite Music Prize nomination and saw them win Best Group at the 2025 Aotearoa Music Awards. They've toured extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Queens of the Stone Age, IDLES, Acid King, Brant Bjork, and Kikagaku Moyo. With Dungeon Vision, Earth Tongue deliver their most immersive work yet, a richly human, fuzz-soaked journey that bottles the magic of their live show and cements their reputation as one of the most exciting psych rock acts on the planet."

"This is the first widely distributed release for Isabel Pine after a series of self-released EPs and singles on Bandcamp. She studied classical music on viola from the age of three through into college, where she was on a path to be a performer in a large ensemble, but eventually left after feeling frustrated and limited in a world that did not provide much of an outlet for individual creativity. But the doors of perception really opened when she moved to British Columbia and was exposed to the raw beauty of the wilderness there. She began recording at home using a basic audio setup along with a cello, viola, violin and double bass, and spent time making field recordings of natural sounds in BC. Her next idea was to actually move into nature to record, curious as to 'how it would sound if I recorded outside entirely, with the natural reverb and sounds of the environment in the recording from the very beginning. The rustling of the leaves or a raven's beating wings were as integral to the music as whatever I played.' Fables is a mix of pieces that were recorded in the fall of 2024, in a small, remote cabin and outside, primarily using stringed instruments. The result is a series of stunning vignettes, meditations patiently unfurling like gentle waves, slowly advancing and retreating."

Out of the wreckage looms the apotheosis of apocalyptic Techno Scratch terror; the ebulliently vengeful prophesy of forebears like Grand Wizzard Theodore and the Knights of the Turntable.

M1NT and STRNGE, known as NRMNT, have built a compelling foundation for their sound, which speaks broadly with a deft, organic approach and enables intimacy, emotion and mood. They combine their production knowledge with M1NT's trumpet playing, a cornerstone of their unique sound, and move effortlessly through the realms of dance music, drawing inspiration from soft undulations, tonal waves and euphoric melodic frequencies, with strong emphasis on musical evolution.

"Originally released in 1979, Cumulus is a long-overlooked treasure from British pianist, composer, and arranger Laurie Holloway -- a virtuoso best known for his work as a musical director for BBC television and as a collaborator with some of the U.K.'s finest jazz and pop artists. Here, Holloway steps firmly into the spotlight with a set that bridges sophisticated jazz composition and the breezy textures of late-'70s fusion. Cumulus drifts between moods of elegance and experimentation, layering electric piano and synthesizer atmospherics over deft rhythm section interplay. Holloway's refined melodic sensibility -- sharpened through years of arranging for major broadcasters and performers -- shines throughout, blending harmonic complexity with a light, unhurried touch that recalls contemporaries like Bob James, Dave Grusin, and Alan Hawkshaw. Now newly reissued by Morgan Blue Town, this long-out-of-print recording reintroduces one of the U.K.'s most accomplished yet understated jazz craftsmen. Cumulus is both a time capsule of late-'70s British fusion and a testament to Holloway's enduring musical grace and inventiveness."

"Antibalas established themselves in the late 1990s as a burning, tough, horn, bass and drum driven Afrobeat ensemble cut from the Fela Kuti mold, who were politically savvy and socially conscious. Their live shows have been incendiary events where rhythm and perspiration from completely crazy, booty-shaking audience members shared something deeper and wider than the music itself. Security is Antibalas' fourth album. It was co-produced by the band with John McEntire from Tortoise. The group, whose name means "bulletproof" in Spanish, has indeed proved they possess the mettle to not only survive but also thrive by employing a musical arsenal that has become known worldwide. Initially using the revolutionary blueprint of afrobeat as a launching pad, the dozen-strong members of Antibalas weave a rich tapestry of Latin, jazz, classical, funk and soul into their horn-driven mix. Words fail in trying to describe the result: simultaneously polyrhythmic and political, independent and contagious, and the reason why many have credited the band for introducing afrobeat's framework to a new generation. Brooklyn's Antibalas -- as tough and diverse as the city that birthed them -- Security is available as a numbered limited edition of 500 copies on white colored vinyl and comes in a gatefold sleeve."

It is at turns warm, ominous and ethereal. Originally released by Italy's Musica Maxima Magnetica, Cathedral finally gets its due on vinyl with a deluxe 2LP edition featuring a large booklet with many of Nigel Ayers' visuals from the same era."

'Tranquil' this is not, but Ayers' delicate touch allows him to explore the full breadth of the album title's implications -- here you will find moments of whimsy, contemplation, and full-bore reckoning. No Holiday is pleased to offer Invocation of the Beast Gods as a single LP on clear-and-black marbled vinyl."

"The story of how we heard about D.J. City. Once upon a time P.P. D.J.ed in Stockholm. Picked up by legend Sling from the airport, with what I recall was a very nice old Jeep, that had a tape deck. That tape deck was playing a cassette that quickly caught our attention. We found out, on it was 1- 800 Techno, a project by another local legend D.J. City. Somehow we received the tape and digital files and have been playing them ever since. Circa 10 years later, we have the opportunity to properly shine light on this project that started it all."

Transparent vinyl version. For a few fleeting moments during a sunset, the sky is cast a vivid shade of amber. A dramatic flare of color, a moment belonging to both the day and the night. It is within this vibrant, ephemeral world, that Mongolian-born, Munich-based Enji has written her album Sonor. Sonor is a reflection of Enji's personal evolution and the complex emotions that accompany living between two worlds. The album's themes revolve around the unplaceable feeling of being between cultures, not as a source of conflict, but as a space for growth and self-discovery. Enji explores how distance from her traditional Mongolian roots has shaped her identity, and how returning home brings a heightened awareness of these changes. Backed by a band of renowned jazz musicians (Elias Stemeseder on piano, Robert Landfermann on bass, Julian Sartorius on drums and co-composer Paul Brändle on guitar), Enji isn't just revisiting tradition, she's distilling the feeling of home, of small joys that reveal their significance only when viewed from afar. Like a familiar song hummed by a parent, her music captures the essence of belonging, not tied to a single place, but to the emotions and memories that shape humanity.

So distinct that sometime after the release of this record they became recognized as the leaders of a new musical movement. Tortoise exploits the recording studio, in that they utilize the recording process as a compositional tool or 'sixth member,' thus creating a boundless parameter in which to create music.

More than two decades after their formation, Urlaub in Polen continue to celebrate an aesthetic of transience -- an experience bounded by time, poured into the project's very name -- set against a continuous flow of new impressions and a suitcase slowly filling with memorabilia. After a longer hiatus, their 2020 album All (TR 461CD marked a return with a warped take on krautrock, a direction which their new release Objects, Beings and Parrots both follows and expands upon. In true eclectic tradition, it ventures further into diverse genre territories -- always exploratory, yet never losing its thread. Multi-instrumentalist Georg Brenner and drummer Jan Philipp Janzen blaze a trail through a dense web of references (see also the cover collage merging tile selections, retro interior suggestions, and archaeology textbook cutouts), evoking a warm feeling of being taken along for the ride -- even as the band refuses to be pinned down to any clear musical category. Take the opener, "Abacus": kicking off with a drum machine and subtle guitar flourishes, it already nods -- title included -- to the mechanical, forward-clicking motorik sound of first-generation krautrock. Then it takes a turn, morphing into a grooving jam with increasingly dense sound layers, howling guitars, and the band's signature clipped vocal phrases -- calling to mind flashes of '90s noise rock. Next up on this winding path: a washing machine -- here manifested in layers of wide synth textures, crashing drums, distorted guitars, and vocals that end in a staccato-like cough. It's a shaking, rattling trip through a cosmos of self-willed machinery and a comforting embrace of imperfection. And so the transformation continues: sometimes as wavering retrofuturism ("Fame & Fortune"), sometimes as surprisingly melodic acoustic pop -- complete with a woodland brass solo ("Jaki's Love Time") -- and always through the weaving of finely crafted rhythmic repetitions with sonic experimentation. The Objects, Beings and Parrots in this flow form vague images, points of orientation and pause: at once recognizable elements drawn from pop and art history, and yet as fleeting and abstract as the track that shares their name. You can hear the album's decelerated genesis: after a lengthy writing phase, the tracks were recorded across multiple sessions at the secluded MARS Studio in Germany's Eifel region. The result is a trippy, self-contained celebration of persistence -- of pushing forward, without excluding moments of stillness, and with the occasional glance in the rear-view mirror.

Lande Hekt has quietly become one of the UK's best underground songwriters. On her 2021 debut full-length Going To Hell and 2022's House Without a View, she explored her queer identity, sobriety, and childhood trauma through the lens of heartfelt, conversational indie-pop, which led to spots opening for the likes of Alvvays, Throwing Muses, and The Beths. Her new album Lucky Now, written and recorded with producer Matthew Simms (Wire, It Hugs Back), reflects the most mature and confident version of Lande Hekt yet. Hekt's musical touchstones -- The Wedding Present, The Sundays, The Replacements -- remain the same, but at the same time she's delved deeper into other influences. Lucky Now is indebted to 1980s twee-pop and jangle-pop like The Pastels, Tallulah Gosh and The Bats, plus more modern iterations of the sound such as Autocamper and Jeanines, in its ecstatic, soaring melodies and gorgeous, tactile guitars. The sound is fitting for Hekt's new lyrical outlook, where, though despair and anxiety rear their heads, she digs deep to find the gratitude. "I wanted to try and push for something slightly more positive, which I'm trying to do more of generally -- just to not fall apart," Hekt says. In keeping with that, opening track "Kitchen ii" is a love song about sharing simple, domestic moments with a partner, while "Rabbits" is a song about hope inspired by one summer solstice spent on Glastonbury Tor. Meanwhile, the slower, acoustic-based "Middle of the Night" is about "reeling from a realization of being properly happy for the first time in my life," Hekt says. Hekt also returns to more politically-based songwriting, after largely avoiding politics in both life and music during a disillusioned period, on "Circular" and "A Million Broken Hearts". During the process of making the album, Hekt also moved from Bristol back to her hometown of Exeter. She wrote Lucky Now's closing track, "Coming Home", about the experience of returning there after a long tour; smelling the familiar smells, spotting the familiar faces. In a lot of ways, Lucky Now is about return -- return to joy, return to places and parts of the self once left behind. Who you once were can seem unreachable, but sometimes you can build a bridge.

The year is 2000. After only ten years performing and recording, the Austrian group Naked Lunch had reached the end of the line. They had experienced a meteoric rise throughout the 1990s: less than four years had seen the group move from a mold-infested rehearsal room in an Austrian town to a five-star hotel on Times Square. Imagine endless tours, outrageously expensive recordings in studios from Bochum to New York, an extended stay in London and collapsed major-label deals -- imagine, essentially, what the band themselves called "an utterly pointless burning through money." Eventually, the group returned to their hometown. What remained were mostly disillusioning experiences in the pop business and a huge amount of debt. Having grown into a quartet, the band decided to hit the reset button and start over. Together with producer and friend Olaf Opal (including work with The Notwist, International Music, etc.), they barricaded themselves for almost three years in the newly built studio of bassist Herwig Zamernik to work on an album that would eventually be released in 2004 under the name Songs For The Exhausted. It became not only a milestone in the band's career. It was also, in a way, a farewell to an unrestrained era and an admission of the exhaustion that resulted from it. The album certainly isn't easy fare. The record is dark, at times even obstructive. Yet it has the ability to embrace, as Anja Plaschg alias Soap&Skin once put it, "to comfort us in feverish nights." 22 years after the original release, Songs For The Exhausted is now reissued on Tapete Records, finally available on vinyl!

With Mr. Stapleton returning to publishing through his United Dairies imprint, he has collected various studio outtakes from over the years and compiled them into this exceptional body of NWW ephemera. Immediately, Nurse fans will recognize vastly mangled variations of "Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's Hair" from She And Me Fall Together Into Free Death, "Cold" from Thunder Perfect Mind, and "Rock 'N Roll Station" from any number of those sessions. Stapleton has long recycled themes in a kaleidoscope of distortions, permutations, and hallucinations, and hearing such favorites all over again, brings a smile to all.

"The late pedal-steel guitarist Susan Alcorn leaves a final surprise hinting at new directions left underexplored on her collaboration with Nomad War Machine, the improvising metal duo of drummer Julius Masri and guitarist James Reichard. Their death-metal-influenced pummel adds new fire to her molten flow across a suite of improvised tracks that show off the vast range and simpatico of the trio. Julius Masri and James Reichard of Nomad War Machine: 'An unexpected opportunity arose out of a catching-up conversation where Susan had revealed a recent fascination with death metal, confessing, 'I'm 70 years old -- I think about death!' She had learned a couple of Arch Enemy songs on her pedal steel, particularly compelled by their frontwoman's intensity and vigor as a performer. Voicing an appreciation for the hook-oriented sound of Swedish death metal made sense for a melodic thinker whose roots as veteran pedal steel player reached into the Texan Western swing circuit in the '60s and '70s. For her, ever the explorer, metal was a new, appealing point of departure into fresh musical territory. When she expressed an interest in playing with Nomad War Machine, it felt like there was a whole world of shared or complementary interests to explore.' Though known for her fluency in jazz, country, and free improvisation, Alcorn had also studied Arabic, the oud, and maqam, with all holding a deep curiosity for her. Pre-'70s country and western music had also been a lifelong presence for both members Nomad War Machine. Masri, a Lebanese free-jazz and metal drummer, and devoted fan of Texas swing legends like Speedy West, Jimmy Bryant, Leon Rhodes, and Joe Maphis, was also steeped in Arabic music traditions. James Reichard, before coming to 'freely' improvised metal, xenharmonic music, and non-Western tuning systems, had grown up being subjected to countless singalongs to numerous pre-'70s country records, entranced by the pedal steel."

Nagoyaka Na Kaze / 和やかな風 (Quiet Wind) is a collection of forward-thinking electronic experiments sourced from central Japan -- co-curated by Nagoya artist abentis for Facta & K-LONE's Wisdom Teeth imprint. The project profiles a close-knit community of music makers operating in and around the Japanese city of Nagoya: one of the country's most populous and industrial cities, but one all too often overlooked in terms of its cultural significance. Curated in close collaboration with local scene organizer Yuya Abe -- aka abentis -- the record seeks to capture the creative energy of a community of artists making hard-to-define, future-facing electronic music away from the clamor of the bigger cities. Spiritually, Nagoya fits the mold of cultural hotbeds like Bristol, Detroit or Melbourne, showing that some of the most innovative creative communities form away from the glare of the capital cities. The city's music scene is characterized by a freedom to mix genres and an open-door approach to creatives of all disciplines. The artists featured come from a diverse set of backgrounds, ranging from hip-hop to noise music, but have found a common collective identity in their omnivorous approach to genre. As such, the record moves fluidly between shimmering ambient and new age, psychedelic minimal house, abstract, low-slung downtempo, and spaceage steppas. Responsible for bringing artists like Basic Channel, Mala and Jan Jelinek to the city, baptisma, the crew's eldest member and de-facto scene leader, has been crucial in establishing underground electronic music in Nagoya since the '90s, and now helps cultivate the next generation of local talent. The record's art direction was led by Yudai Osawa -- in-house designer for Kankyō Records, the much-loved Tokyo record shop run by H. Takahashi -- and features original photos by Hayato Watanabe. Featuring Am Shhara, Methodd, Nasty Soupman, Karnage, DHYAN, and daiki hayakawa.

Blu-Ray is NTSC format. Region code 0. "Bill Bartell is not famous, but those who knew him think he should be. Bill was a musician, band manager, record label owner, police officer, rodeo bull rider, an attention-seeking recluse, and the ultimate fan-boy. He led an exceedingly compartmentalized life, keeping a tight lid on his background, his occupations, relationships and sexuality, hiding the jarring conflicts from everyone. The whole of his life was an enigma and maintaining it took a toll. From forming his band White Flag in the early 1980s to starting his own record company (Gasatanka Records), Bill was relentless. His ability to side up to his idols (from original LA Punk Scene to arena Metal) was astonishing, as was his indelible influence on his heroes. Friend and sometime band-mate to Sean Lennon, Pat Smear, Kurt Cobain, Thurston Moore, KISS, Iron Maiden, Ronnie Barnett, Jeff and Steve McDonald, Drew Barrymore, The Melvins, Shonen Knife, Brian Wilson, Quentin Tarantino and countless others, Bill was the conduit through which many relationships were established and successful careers launched. It was Bill that introduced Billy Idol to Kiss' manager Bill Aucoin who fostered Billy's solo career. In 1981, Bill's friend Steve Harris asked what his band, Iron Maiden, should name their new EP, a live recording from their Japanese tour. 'Maiden Japan,' Bill replied. Harris pronounced him a genius and the band went with Bill's suggestion. Through extensive archival footage and interviews, Bill's friends and collaborators compare notes on what they knew and what Bill kept hidden from them, ruminating on the causes of his secrecy. This film unravels, reveals and ultimately, deepens the mystery of who Bill was and what secrets he took with him when his life came to a sad and unexpected close. The Secret Lives of Bill Bartell is the story of the Punk Rock Zelig from the director of 1991: The Year Punk Broke."

David August's most expansive, ambitious album to date, the Italian-German composer and producer lets his vast sonic universe collapse, rediscovering in its wake an instrument that's been a constant presence in his life. Hymns is a deeply personal set of candid piano-led reflections that tell a simpler but far more distinctive story; rather than concentrate on the life cycle of humanity and civilization, August narrows his field of vision, tracing his own background and reasserting his relationship with a musical language he'd tried hard to unlearn. An intimate, instinctual album that emerged from isolation and contemplation, Hymns is also a surprisingly hopeful suite of soft hued, evocative improvisations that well up from the depths of the soul. In August's own words, "it should recall light, not darkness."

"Temptress are a jigsaw of sonic touchstones with no audible seams. Bombastic yet delicate, crushing yet ethereal, driving yet dark, the trio fuse drone, doom, post-rock, grunge and hardcore into a molten blend that creeps and obliterates like a liquid metal assassin. With 200+ shows played in their relatively short tenure, Temptress' endless ideas and nuances slide perfectly into place thanks to its members' vast live experience. New album Hear churns with searing hooks and dissonant grooves in an irresistible confluence of ideas, and fans of multi-voiced, genre-tag resistant bands like Heavy Temple, The Well and Hippie Death Cult should prepare to be drawn in by Temptress' unyielding allure."

Dilby and Pornbugs team up on Between Us. Opening with "Hear Me Out" their combined bumpy deep sound marries incredibly well. Uptempo and lively, this is the future sound of retro. Next up, "Hold The Line" joins the dots between deep and progressive house, keeping the funk and soul intact. Bass-led and groovy as hell, this is your new secret weapon. "Fade Into You" is the first of the vinyl only tracks and marks a stark change of pace. Deeper, more soulful and markedly more thoughtful, this is modern deep house in its glittery new rave clothes. Pairing nicely is the flipside track "Beyond Fear" which rumbles along with techy bass and a chunky groove.

LP version. Almost seven years after their last release, numerous international tours, and winning the award for Best Band at the first edition of the German Jazz Awards 2021, PHILM is releasing two new albums. 2024 was recorded in an old Berlin cinema, the Zentrifuge. In search of "their own rhythmic mantras," as Philipp Gropper explains, strange, multi-layered grooves and unfamiliar sounds. Catapulted into strange worlds by Gropper's compositions, PHILM is concerned with the emotional content of these grooves and navigating them together. This adventurous atmosphere in the room and the interpersonal interplay leave their mark on the sound. Because that's exactly what PHILM is all about: a band that's not about outdoing each other with solos, but about finding a shared musical language, creating together, like an interlocking sound machine.

LP version. Almost seven years after their last release, numerous international tours, and winning the award for Best Band at the first edition of the German Jazz Awards 2021, PHILM is releasing new music. 2025 was recorded live at the Loft in Cologne in April 2025. The sound here is darker, more emotional. The two pieces "no words" I and II are good examples of this, dealing with the bewilderment and horror in the face of current crises, wars, and the repeatedly destructive role of the global North. Between dissonance and beauty, a wide range of emotions opens up. With 2024 and 2025, PHILM are opening a new chapter for themselves, further honing their long-standing and rightly celebrated consistent understanding of jazz, of storytelling through music, which has had a decisive influence on the European avant-garde.

Pharoah Chromium is the project of German-Palestinian musician and sonic performer Ghazi Barakat. With Chronicles from the Arab Cold War, Pharoah Chromium continues his long-standing engagement with the Palestinian cause, following Gaza (LP, self-released 2015) and Jean Genet à Chatila (7", self-released 2018). In the summer of 2023, new material began to take shape from a session with flutes, EWI (an analogue synth played like a wind instrument), and belly dancing beats. At first these were instrumentals, waiting for their context. That frame appeared unexpectedly, through the discovery of Chants Révolutionnaires d'Oman on the French label Expression Spontanée -- a record that connected seamlessly with the material at hand. As you listen, Side A reveals its dedication to the children of Gaza. Without exploiting recordings from an ongoing genocide, the music instead channels hope through the voices of Omani children, offering a vision of resilience and possibility in the Middle East. Side B grows darker, more funerary, reflecting the escalation of the conflict after October 7. Trumpeter Philipp Selalmazidis, a recent collaborator, appears throughout these sessions, adding weight and urgency. Over time, the adolescent voices of the A side give way to adult voices, filling the space with anger and ideological rhetoric -- a stark progression from innocence to confrontation. This is a record that refuses detachment: a work of mourning, resistance, and improbable connections that insists on listening as an act of witness.

The first time on any format for Pier Paolo Pasolini's controversial 1975 vision of the Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, featuring beautiful and discordant classical compositions, in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding onscreen. Three weeks before the scandalous release of Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom, Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, Italy. In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote "Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini" (Goodbye to Pier Paolo Pasolini) for the late filmmaker, included in the final edit. Following the narrative of one of Pasolini's defining cinematic moments, the soundtrack opens with Ennio Morricone's "Son Tanto Triste," descends into the melancholic minor chords of Bach, Chopin, Orff, Puccini, and Graziosi, incorporates sinister renditions by the cast, and includes Morricone's own somber tribute to the director. Disgusted by the flood of crass sexploitation movies which filled the space opened up by his Trilogy Of Life, Pasolini turned to the most nihilistic thinker in European history for what became his final film. His version of De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, amplified with motifs from Dante's Inferno, confronts the ultimate implications of fascism in a series of sexual and moral atrocities. CD comes in matt-laminate gatefold ecopak. Limited LP edition of 500 copies on blood red vinyl in gatefold matt-laminate sleeve (CSR 362LP).

"My Days of 58 is the eighth Bill Callahan album, his first since 2022. The twelve tunes here open uncanny depths of expression as Bill continues to blaze one of the most original songwriting-and-performance trails out there. With My Days of 58, he applies the living, breathing energies of his live shows to the studio process, sharpening his slice-of-life portraiture to cut deeper than ever before. The core musicians featured on My Days of 58 is the group that toured for 2022's REALITY: guitarist Matt Kinsey, saxophonist Dustin Laurenzi and drummer Jim White, whose synergy was evident in 2024's live Resuscitate!. This showed Bill, as he puts it, 'that they could handle anything I threw at them,' adding: 'Improv/unpredictability/the unknown is the thing that keeps me motivated to keep making music. It's all about listening to yourself and others. A lot of the best parts of a recording are the mistakes -- making them into strengths, using them as springboards into something human.' With this in mind, Bill prepared the songs with each player separately. Taking a note from songwriter, fan and friend Jerry DeCicca, he recorded the basic tracks for all but one song in a duo with Jim White. Meanwhile, he rehearsed with Matt, guitar to guitar, while asking Dustin to make horn charts for a few songs. Bill: 'I usually just sing a melody to a horn player or let them try a few takes and go from there. This time I thought, why not get some of the record charted out. There's always room for spontaneity on top of that. And we did indeed throw some off the cuff stuff on top of the charted horns in a couple cases where they weren't fully doing what I wanted. With this record I kept thinking of it as a 'living room record.' I'm not talking about fidelity at all here. Living room attitude. Living room vibe. Not too loud, not otherworldly. I asked for the horns to be relaxed like someone on the couch playing, not a blast from heaven or hell.' For more spontaneity and human color, Bill called up several other players: Richard Bowden on fiddle, whom he'd seen playing with Terry Allen and loved; pianist Pat Thrasher; bassist Chris Vreeland; and trombonist Mike St. Clair."

"Some 42 years after its initial release, Circle X's Prehistory returns to the vinyl format. New listeners to this music will discover, in addition to the roiling compulsion in its odd, dance-damaged clockwork and instinctive joining of feral and aestheticized values, a refined understanding of the width and breadth of 'post-punk' music, both in and out of its time. In and out of time, Circle X operated between 1978 and 1995, formed in Louisville, KY, but existing largely as a New York-based collective, a band who insisted on working outside the standard definitions. Arriving in New York in late '78, they found a rehearsal space and gigged around at CBGB's and elsewhere, alongside DNA and other No Wave acts of the era, recording their first single before decamping to France at the request of their new manager, Bernard Zekri. They split their time between Dijon and Paris and returned to New York in the spring of 1980, having recorded their 'untitled' EP. At this time, the art aspects of Circle X in performance were brought to the fore. Similarly, the recording of Prehistory developed as much on a conceptual basis as the shows. Circle X's music has continued to grow through each further iteration of 'the present times.' Their third and final album, an expression utterly distinct from all earlier evocations, was released on Matador in their early '90s heyday. The 'untitled' EP was reintroduced to the contemporary ear twice, via Moikai's 1996 CD version and Insolito's 2009 vinyl repress. In both instances, it was noted, as had been in '79, how little their music sounded like anything else from then or whenever the current now was. That still holds true in the present. Similarly, Prehistory was re-injected into the marketplace via Blue Chopsticks' 2008 CD edition."

Pioneering experimental electronic record receives first-ever complete vinyl pressing, featuring expanded content and exclusive liner notes. Editions Mego release the highly anticipated vinyl reissue of Get Out, the groundbreaking second album by Peter Rehberg under his influential PITA moniker. Originally released in 1999, this seminal work stands as a landmark achievement in experimental electronic music, praised for its revolutionary fusion of ear-splitting noise and melancholic melodies. Moving beyond the era's trend of pure abstraction, Get Out represents a pivotal moment when experimental electronic music began exploring new territories laying forth a path which many artists would subsequently follow. This expansive reissue marks a significant milestone for collectors and enthusiasts, presenting all 12 tracks from the 2008 eMego CD version on vinyl for the first time. The inclusion of the rare Detroit live recording (remastered by Jim O'Rourke) provides invaluable insight into PITA's performance practice during the album's original touring cycle, whilst new liner notes from Jim O'Rourke and Chris Clepper provide further personal and anecdotal insight. Since its original release, Get Out has been recognized as essential listening for understanding the evolution of experimental electronic music in the late 20th century. This authoritative reissue ensures that Rehberg's visionary work remains accessible to new audiences while providing longtime admirers with the definitive version of this crucial album. The vinyl comes with a DL code which contains a 20-minute live performance in Kyoto, Metro, 25.01.1999.

Editions Mego welcomes KMRU back to the fold. Kin is Kenyan born, Berlin based, sonic wizard Joseph Kamaru's second release on Editions Mego, following on from the classic 2020 release Peel (EMEGO 289CD/LP). Since the release and subsequent praise for Peel, the artist has been a staple on the electronic scene performing on numerous stages and festivals worldwide in tandem with a flood of media recognition. Kin could be construed as the second child following Peel. The project came out of initial discussions with Peter Rehberg about what a Peel sequel would sound like. It is a deft ambiguity and vague tiptoeing around the concrete that encapsulates the ambiguous sound world of Kamaru's vision. Kin was started early 2021 in Nairobi with Kamaru exploring his noisier palette of sounds encompassing distortions reminiscent of the sounds he would muster from in his youth when playing guitar. He paused making this record for a year as soon as Peter died, then slowly returned to it through 2022 resulting in this immense new work. The charms within Kin lay as Easter eggs revealing the true identity behind the colorful sonics only after multiple deep listens. "With Trees Where We Can See" sets the tone by way of a warm swaying melody inviting the listener in for further investigation. In 2022 KMRU and Mego stalwart Fennesz toured the USA together resulting in a strong friendship and also, the second track here, "Blurred." A neat Mego/Editions Mego loop as such. "Blurred" arranges twangy guitar strums alongside glistening glaciers of shimmering drones. "They Are Here" represents a darker hue as melancholic clouds of shadowy noir tap directly into the listener's nerve stream. "Maybe" takes a detour into a bristling euphoric electronic storm whilst "We Are" screeches in a pattern formation not unlike a highly abstracted Aphex Twin forcing its way out of a hard drive. "By Absence" concludes proceedings, operating as both exit music and a portal to further sonic investigation with acoustic bellowing residing amongst a kaleidoscopic backdrop. Kin is a trip that rewards close repeated listens as all the colors and textures, nuance and narratives unveil themselves.

Double LP version. Editions Mego welcomes KMRU back to the fold. Kin is Kenyan born, Berlin based, sonic wizard Joseph Kamaru's second release on Editions Mego, following on from the classic 2020 release Peel (EMEGO 289CD/LP). Since the release and subsequent praise for Peel, the artist has been a staple on the electronic scene performing on numerous stages and festivals worldwide in tandem with a flood of media recognition. Kin could be construed as the second child following Peel. The project came out of initial discussions with Peter Rehberg about what a Peel sequel would sound like. It is a deft ambiguity and vague tiptoeing around the concrete that encapsulates the ambiguous sound world of Kamaru's vision. Kin was started early 2021 in Nairobi with Kamaru exploring his noisier palette of sounds encompassing distortions reminiscent of the sounds he would muster from in his youth when playing guitar. He paused making this record for a year as soon as Peter died, then slowly returned to it through 2022 resulting in this immense new work. The charms within Kin lay as Easter eggs revealing the true identity behind the colorful sonics only after multiple deep listens. "With Trees Where We Can See" sets the tone by way of a warm swaying melody inviting the listener in for further investigation. In 2022 KMRU and Mego stalwart Fennesz toured the USA together resulting in a strong friendship and also, the second track here, "Blurred." A neat Mego/Editions Mego loop as such. "Blurred" arranges twangy guitar strums alongside glistening glaciers of shimmering drones. "They Are Here" represents a darker hue as melancholic clouds of shadowy noir tap directly into the listener's nerve stream. "Maybe" takes a detour into a bristling euphoric electronic storm whilst "We Are" screeches in a pattern formation not unlike a highly abstracted Aphex Twin forcing its way out of a hard drive. "By Absence" concludes proceedings, operating as both exit music and a portal to further sonic investigation with acoustic bellowing residing amongst a kaleidoscopic backdrop. Kin is a trip that rewards close repeated listens as all the colors and textures, nuance and narratives unveil themselves.

Hidden away amidst the bustle of Rio de Janeiro's Catete neighborhood is a small alleyway behind a cast iron gate. At its end is Bairro Saavedra, the courtyard surrounded by Neo-colonial houses where Brazilian guitar virtuoso Fabiano do Nascimento spent much of his childhood. Built in 1928, this secluded neighborhood with its wooden shutters, tiled floors and tranquil benches, provides the inspiration for the title of Do Nascimento's new album VILA, a collaborative project with a sixteen-piece orchestra led by trombonist and arranger Vittor Santos. Recorded between Rio de Janeiro and Los Angeles, VILA is grand, tender, warm, playful and nostalgic. On this stunningly ambitious work, the delicate compositions led by Nascimento's guitar, which sits central in the mix, are surrounded by Santos' breathtaking orchestral arrangements which swirl in all directions: complimenting, questioning, responding; in constant conversation. Like the eclecticism of the architecture Do Nascimento grew up surrounded by, his music straddles many worlds at once. He is known as a Brazilian acoustic guitar master and as such has collaborated with Arthur Verocai, Airto Moreira, and Itibere Zwarg. But equally at home in Los Angeles's jazz and experimental music scenes, Do Nascimento is also known for his work with artists like Sam Gendel and Carlos Nino. Vittor Santos is an arranger and trombonist who has worked extensively with many of the greats of Brazilian music, including João Donato, Marcos Valle, Toninho Horta, and Elza Soares.

El Pulso del Acero: Shinkansen is Esplendor Geométrico's new album, featuring 16 powerful tracks that showcase the electric energy of this group, with a unique blend of trance-inducing industrial rhythms combined with collages of voices and noise. The raw power of their early work is also present here in some brilliant reconstructions of '80s tracks turning out very different from the originals. Songs such as "Auto Reverse" will be especially appreciated by the most avid fans of EG's early sound. Other tunes of futuristic industrial music closer to their previous album, Strepitus Rhythmicus, are also included. Ten tracks were recorded in 2025 in Tokyo, where Arturo Lanz (founding member of E.G.) currently resides. The other six were released, only on CD, in an ultra-limited edition shared with the group De Fabriek in 2023, long sold out, now finally on vinyl for the first time. Born in 1980 as a trio, and currently a duo formed by Arturo Lanz (founding member) and Saverio Evangelista (member since 1991), Esplendor Geométrico is an influential and international electronic cult band and also a rare case in the Spanish music scene, as they have developed their own independent path aside from tags, fashion or trends, in spite of being often classified as industrial music. Their career for more than four decades hasn't had interruptions. They haven't stopped composing, releasing albums, or playing live. Their influence has marked many later artists, usually classified in the so-called industrial music or rhythm & noise, as well as artists from current techno and certain types of experimental noise music.

One of the more authentic '60s-styled Mod/R&B/beat acts in continental Europe during the '90s, The Jaybirds formed in Vienna strongly inspired by bands such as The Yardbirds (their name is a nod to them). Going Our Own Ways was their second album, originally released in 1998 (the same year that they supported the Rolling Stones in Vienna in front of an audience of 80,000 people!) As the title suggests, it was a statement of autonomy, emphasizing their distinctive path within the mod/sixties revival scene, blending classic R&B and freakbeat repertoire with their own material. Remastered sound. Featuring new artwork. Includes insert with liner notes, photos, and download card.

"The Art Gray Noizz Quintet is spearheaded by twisted Australian guitar legend Stu-Art Gray, most notoriously known as Stu Spasm of Lubricated Goat, Crunt, Salamander Jim, and The Beasts Of Bourbon. Adding another crazed chapter to an already solidly sordid musical history, The Art Gray Noizz Quintet stars some of the finest scoundrels of the New York City underground scene -- Skeleton Boy of Woman on two-string bass, Nikki D'agostino on sax, and veteran drummer Rich Hutchins of Live Skull providing the savage, swinging beat. A rotating roulette of characters swagger into the second guitar slot as needed, each showcasing their particular specialty -- twang, treble, or atmosphere. Stuart Gray's wayward path through the flashpoints of noise, grunge, and swamp-rock history is well-represented in the Quintet's sound -- chaos with a cinematic edge. Sharing stages with kindred spirits such as The Scientists and Mudhoney got the attention of audiences early on. Their recordings and incendiary gigs throughout the New York scene and beyond soon caught the eye of the infamous Lydia Lunch, and it was only a matter of time before a new collaboration was born. Now, The Art Gray Noizz Quintet collide with the queen of no wave Lydia Lunch on a new two-fisted ten-inch single. Melting the Magazine classic 'Permafrost, and grinding out an apocalyptic version of Iggy Pop's 'Mass Production.' Only on In The Red Records!"

Limited black vinyl. 750 copies. Once again, Trunk Records comes through with an album of sublime 1980s new age synthwave music from an artist and library company you have never heard of. From Jonny: "My first encounter with Peter Patzer was when I was writing and researching the updated and fully expanded version of The Music Library Book, published by Fuel. The initial book -- called The Music Library, was the first ever overview of library music and the wild, unpredictable graphic art of their sleeves. It was first published in 2005 and featured about 400 sleeves and about 120 library companies over 200+ pages. The book was based on over a decade of intense library LP collecting by myself and a handful of other geeky weirdos and made for fascinating and revealing reading and looking. A few years later the price of the original book had gone bananas. But the geeky weirdos like me had all carried on voraciously consuming and collecting library music so I strongly felt the first book could easily be doubled in size with new info, new sleeves and many newly discovered lost library companies. Which is exactly what I set about doing. The Music Library expanded edition came out in 2015. You have to realize here that The Music Library book was very much a first -- until its unexpected arrival (and even the arrival of the much larger expanded edition) there was no published survey, accessible catalogue or anything about international library music. It was still an odd old world shrouded in some historical mystery -- even the internet had not really caught up. And I was still finding unusual British one-off library LPs, more unusual Italian library diversions, hidden French funky things and then I finally found Peter Patzer. From Germany. Hidden away in a very obscure music library corner. All on his own. Peter was unusual in that he was an artist and musician who made his own music and issued it all on his own library, called Crea Music, based out of Bremen in North Germany. Over a series of eight white vinyl LPs produced in the 1980s, Peter Patzer created synth heavy experiments for possible use in film, TV, video and anything else coming along. All his LPs had the same simple red, white and blue sleeve and a typed name and number. Across the eight LPs Peter goes to musical space, creates post-disco funk, travels to Vegas, goes all geological and more."

"Cranes is a dream pop/shoegaze band formed by siblings Alison and Jim Shaw who rose to stardom following a world tour with the Cure in 1992. After the influential Dedicated label folded in 1998, they went on a two-year hiatus after which they set up their own label Dadaphonic. Here, they released three studio albums between 2001 and 2008, of which this record is their penultimate. This record, as any other on their label, strikes the perfect balance between their typical '90s alt rock underpinnings and modern electronica. Downtempo beats and swirling effects combined with jangly guitars and Alison Shaw's mysterious vocal presence make for a deep and subdued album, in the best way possible. Particles & Waves is available on vinyl for the first time as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on crystal clear, blue and white marbled vinyl."

Magnificent Fall, The Notwist's new rarities compilation, compiles some special and wild moments from this unique German indie group's rich history. They've always snuck gorgeous songs and thrilling remixes onto split singles, extended plays, and other formats, across their career, and pieced together here -- compiled thoughtfully, with sensitivity to flow and the listening experience -- these thirteen selections work as a kind of "shadow narrative" of The Notwist, an alternative index of the possibilities this shape-shifting group uncovered during their time together. They've been smart to let go of chronology when sequencing Magnificent Fall, so the songs here move across phases and stages of The Notwist's career, helmed by brothers Markus and Micha Acher. The Notwist have always been interested in and open to community, and one of the many ways they reach out to others is through the remix. There are three here, sent back to The Notwist from different corners of the world, both aesthetically and geographically. The music on Magnificent Fall traverses varying terrain -- abstract hip-hop, chamber pop, sweet and simple folk song, indietronica, free-floating improvisation. There are several unreleased songs, as well, drawn from across the group's history. Core to it all, though, the thing that makes The Notwist so singular, is the thumbprint of the Acher brothers, their gently poetic way of moving through the world and welcoming other musicians and artists into the fold, expressively and with generosity.

Proto-doom metal/stoner/hard-rock by this Mexican band formed in 1972, including their mega-rare early '70s singles plus later material in the same raw vein. Born on Día de los Muertos in 1972, Medusa emerged from Mexico City with a mission: to forge heavy, hard, Spanish-language rock rooted in social awareness and poetic force. Guitarist Luis Antonio "Toño" Urquiza, drummer Víctor Moreno, and bassist/vocalist Javier Plascencia shaped their sound influenced by bands like Blue Cheer and Black Sabbath, as well as the turbulence of the 1968 Student Movement, the 1971 Halconazo, and the creative explosion surrounding the legendary Avándaro Festival. Friends and contemporaries of bands like Peace & Love, the Dug Dug's, and El Ritual, Medusa quickly stood out for their powerful live presence and politically charged energy. They released their mega rare first single in 1973 and then an EP followed in 1974, but their refusal to compromise their artistic direction led to being dropped before completing a full LP -- pushing them into self-produced, underground recordings throughout the following decades. Despite media marginalization, Medusa remained active into the mid-1980s, playing everywhere from stadiums and TV to prisons and "hoyos fonkis." After a decade-long hiatus, they resurfaced in 1994 to a new generation that embraced them as pioneers of heavy metal and early stoner rock in Mexico. Later joined by Jaime García Mares, they reaffirmed their status with a landmark 2006 national TV appearance. In 2015, after more sporadic performances and demos, Medusa were honored by Tianguis del Chopo and recognized by the National Sound Archive as the founders of stoner rock in Mexico, becoming subjects of books and a Rolling Stone special on Mexican rock. Shortly after, the band closed a 43-year chapter and its members moved on to personal projects. Now, thanks to recordings rescued from Víctor Moreno's personal archives, Medusa's early work -- including their four tracks from the '70s and additional raw and unadulterated sessions from the '80s-'90s -- finally appears in long-play format.

Just when you thought Kevin Richard Martin's music couldn't go any slower, lower or deeper, Sub Zero emerges. A slow-motion excavation of drug-tech, dub, dreamy noise and frozen ambience, the album gradually mutates into hypnotic pulsations and melodic melancholia. It is arguably Martin's most striking release to date under his given name. Originally released digitally on Bandcamp only in the depths of winter 2022, amid the final year of the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's initial invasion of Ukraine, this desolate epic went on to become KRM's best-selling digital album on the platform. With persistent demand for a vinyl pressing and a full DSP release from fans, Martin thought the time was right for Sub Zero to finally surface in its full glory: remastered and paired with fresh new artwork. Unnervingly, the album is as beautiful as it is solemn, as glacial as it is relentless, and as subtle as it is terrifying. A trip into a sonic abyss, with a tour of a philosophical void, it's to my ears, KRM's most seductive work yet, and also his most emotionally resonant. Martin expertly balances tear-jerking motifs with heavier than hell rhythmic weight. With its melodic fog, eternal drones and eerie atmospherics, the peripheral throb of distant kick drums, the heartbeat punctuation of cavernous subs and the snowstorm blizzard of fuzz absolutely envelopes the mind, whilst crushing the soul. In terms of lineage, Sub Zero might recall a more paranoid Porter Ricks, a dystopian GAS, or a brutally dubbed-out Pan Sonic. Most fitting, however, is its kinship with the deepest dub terrain Martin previously explored on In Blue, The Bug's acclaimed 2020 collaboration with Dis Fig for Hyperdub, where he obsessively probed subaqueous pulses and low-end modulations. Sub Zero is possibly the most minimal, desolate, and deviant dub record yet released on Martin's PRESSURE label. It marks the point at which dub disappears into its own effects trails. Dub music capturing frozen moments in time. Dub as an addictive painkiller, that sounds both sacred and ocean deep.

"I have been fascinated by the sound and potential of gongs since I first heard Stockhausen's 'Mikrophonie '1' in the late 1960s. When I moved to Oakland in 1999 I discovered the work of Karen Stackpole, one of the few percussionists in the world specializing entirely in gongs, and attended several of her performances. I always tried to imagine how I could combine my own sonic vocabulary with her incredibly rich array, and we enthusiastically agreed to a musical meeting which somehow kept being postponed, year after year. These recordings are among his most precious ones. Finally, as my teaching career at Mills College was winding down, we succeeded in making an appointment to record together at Karen's home studio in the Californian hills. As a seasoned professional recording engineer, she had her vast and beautiful collection of gongs meticulously placed and amplified. It was a joy! Guitar as gong, gong as harmony and everything in between, an interweaving that left me breathless." --Fred Firth

Doomedelic instrumental space prog rockers L'ira Del Baccano are back with their official fifth full length album on Subsound Records The Praise of Folly. Guitarist Alessandro Santori says about the album: "We are very excited to finally release these three songs that we have worked hard to arrange on over the past two years. Once again we invite the listener to join us on a journey beyond the constraints of song form and genre, and to dive into The Praise of Folly like reading a book where you never know what will happen when you turn the page. From the production point of view we pushed even more on the live aspect and sounds of the single performance. We decided to not edit different takes of each song but to choose which one to use on the base of general feeling and then add some post arrangements to emphasize specific passages." Also available on black vinyl (SSR 166LP) and grey/cherry transparent vinyl (SSR 166LTD).

pdqb, the producer, whose name sounds like a coded message, has surpassed the need for introduction. It emerged from nowhere, becoming omnipresent almost instantly, leaving every electronic music producer eager -- if not obsessed -- to work with it. Its original tracks are raw and elegant with warm synth lines, pulsing rhythms, and melodies that feel like echoes from forgotten futures. They always carry a strange magnetic pull. Presented here are eight stunning remixes of his already-released tracks. Each one its own universe, each one remarkable in its own way, each one crafted by an expert in their field. The eight pieces twist, stretch, break apart, and rebuild the originals. They mutate into technoid creatures, melodies dissolve into vapor, and rhythms reorganize themselves into something alien and alive, yet each still holds a faint spark of pdqb's DNA, buried beneath layers of transformation. Listeners will understand: this isn't just a remix album. It is an evolution -- eight reinterpretations of the same musical core, each pushing pdqb's world into a new dimension. Featuring remixes from G-MAN, Hardfloor, Silicon Scally, Annie Hall, Electro Nation, Martin Matiske, Lloyd Stellar, and DJ Di'jital.

The label ORED Recordings was founded in 2013 by Circassian friends and fellow musicians Bulat Khalilov and Timur Kodzoko, in order to start an activity which is dedicated to documenting and preserving the traditional and post-traditional music of the North Caucasus. Khalilov and Kodzoko were excited about this music as it sounded like a force that transcends borders and in which time dissolves and community becomes the only compass. Through hundreds of field recordings from communal gatherings, local festivities, and family meetings, the label has captured a wide range of individual voices and their unique acoustic manifestations. All recordings on this album capture the raw expressiveness of mountainside villages. Music performances being played by people who dedicate their love to music and an additional willingness to share intimate emotions. Whereas most academic ethnomusicologist travel around the world in order to study foreign cultures, Bulat Khalilov and Timur Kodzoko were fascinated by what they just heard in the familiar regions of their then home town Nalchik. In resolut contrast to Russian academic circles they soon developed a DIY punk ethos for their far-reaching work, beginning to formulate their own language in the field of ethnomusicology and to push the traditions forward. However, the label's work goes far beyond mere preservation. The work of the label aims to reflect not only the great music of the Caucasus and its various communities but also to tell the stories behind it. They are stories of struggle, of independence, of working with historical memory in the present times of the 21st century. The compilation Music from the Caucasus provides a first introduction to the comprehensive work of ORED Recordings. For this collaborative release on TAL the recordings are being made accessible for the first ever time, all coming with extensive liner notes and yet unpublished photographs. Featuring Tizhin Gup, Kamran Kərimov və Yusif Əzizov, Tatiana Dordzhieva and Maria Beltsykova, Arkady and Arseniy Kagramyan, Mutat and Ilyas from Ulyap, Balkhar Ensemble, Zamudin Guchev, Tizhin Gup, Şirzad Fətəliyev və Arazbarı Balaban Qrupu, Bagdagyul Ramazanova, Şirzad Fətəliyev və Arazbarı Balaban Qrupu, Bagdagyul Ramazanova, Aşıq Altay, Mirjavid Cəfərov, and Nayil Quoshi.

Nastia's imprint launches a new compilation series curated by selected music connoisseurs and crate diggers, with ANNĒ as the debut curator. Each compilation features handpicked unreleased pieces including an exclusive track by the curator. For this first edition, ANNĒ has put together a balanced journey that opens with Gaetano Parisio's dynamic old-school energy and closes with The Advent's raw classic techno. Between these two legends, the selection flows seamlessly across the first 12". The second record takes a more soulful direction, starting with Newa and closing with ANNĒ's own track -- a natural way to wrap up the journey she's curated, serving both as a closing piece and the final statement of the compilation. Also featuring Cravo, Dold, Endlec, Sera J, Julieta Kopp, Mike Konstantinidis, Glaskin, and Dynamic Forces.

Bill Pritchard's new album Haunted finds the acclaimed British songwriter at the height of his lyrical wit and melodic craft. A life's work of sharp observation and quiet beauty, Pritchard has long been praised for his ability to elevate the ordinary into something extraordinary. With Haunted, he delivers a sophisticated, deeply personal collection of songs revolving around the memories that linger: people, places, and passions, whether real or imagined, remembered or refracted. His 1990s album Jolie remains a touchstone of intelligent pop, and later releases like Mother Town Hall have been celebrated for their warm, idiosyncratic retro sensibilities. With Haunted, Pritchard delivers his most direct and pop-leaning album in decades. Recorded between Hamburg and Newcastle-under-Lyme, Haunted reflects the international spirit of Pritchard's music, blending vintage textures with modern production. Supported by an inspired network of Hamburg-based musicians and guided closely by Pritchard himself, the album spans vintage drum machines, brass flourishes, chiming guitars, lush harmonies, and even a touch of psychedelia. The result is a refreshingly European pop record, organic, eclectic, and deeply resonant. From the simple act of riding a bus through Stoke Newington, transformed into a gentle hymn to the everyday, to recollections of semi-real and semi-fictional torch singers and the resilience they embodied, these songs find inspiration in both the mundane and the monumental. They celebrate detachment and lightness too: moments that float on breezy organ lines, jangling guitars, and nimble bass runs, smiling even in the face of uncertainty. Throughout the album, Pritchard paints vivid vignettes. Bright horns and rippling guitars illuminate fleeting scenes, while hand percussion and chiming guitars evoke childhood wonder and the bittersweet recognition of how we grow apart. Elsewhere, blooming brass-driven rock captures the joy of performance and resistance, while acoustic moments turn inward, bruised but tender, reflecting on a life lived and remembered. A song of sunsets in Poland carries loneliness across an indie-pop sway, while playful language games sketch stories set in France, where the very form becomes part of the tale. Finally, the stripped-back closer, born from the thought of new life and breath itself, distills the album into its most intimate, beautiful moment. With influences ranging from Scott Walker to the Lemon Twigs, Walter Matthau to French poet Berreby, Haunted is a record of whimsy and wonder, melancholy and joy.

Purple color vinyl. Like a crusader, Apollo Noir relentlessly pursues his noble cause: pushing modular and analog experimentation ever further while remaining irresistibly accessible. Here is Core, his fourth studio album, fusing post rave techno Detroit à la Drexciya and Manchester early Autechre, OPN's most epic era, futuristic UK jungle, letfield amen-breaked ambient, a mega massive cadavre exquis song featuring Remi Sauzedde's very close friends (Janis, Ley, Claude Violante, Silly Boy Blue, S Diamah, Serguei Spoutnik and Fly HQ), diving deeper -- as a true obsessive lover of drum machines (TR909, TR808 and TR606) -- in the raw deconstruction of techno rhythms, unleashing a dark and heavy bassline at 145 bpm with grime vocal samples, heavy modular beats blending perfectly with soft and voicy Korg M1 pads. Apollo Noir knows his classics and contemporaries inside out, forging his own path with deranged yet beautiful twists. For electronic music freaks lovers of early '90s-'00s Warp, Hyperdub, R&S, to post genre-defying aficionados of the Gen Z.

Yamila presents her second album on Umor Rex, Noor. Following Visions (UR 137LP, 2022), Yamila returns with a work that merges nature-experience listening with expansive musicality. Noor was born from her time in an ecologist community, where she sought refuge in stillness, learned from animals, and tried to forget the human. In this communion with nature, she discovered a new compositional approach: reducing acoustic noise to allow unheard voices to emerge, transforming music into a possibility for interspecies dialogue. Since ancient times, sound has been used to care for herds, to call across distances, to communicate with the non-human. Noor reimagines that ancestral role in a contemporary language, where epic harmonies collide with delicate micro-tonalities, and where rhythm unfolds not only as pulse but as movement for the body, a natural extension of Yamila's work with dance companies and choreographers. Her voice is interwoven with electronics and the resonant strings of Echo Collective, creating sonic landscapes that radiate intensity and fragility. At times monumental, at others almost whispered, Noor oscillates between composition and spontaneity, structure and suspension. The album unfurls as a dialogue between the organic and the artificial, where sound grows like a sprout breaking through hard soil. Yamila's music here is not only to be heard, but to be inhabited: a choreography of air, vibration, and resonance. Noor is both shelter and revelation, a reminder that music can still be epic, luminous, and deeply human, while listening beyond the human. All music and voices by Yamila Ríos. Recorded at Destelheide by Christophe Albertijn. Strings by Trio Echo Collective (Violin: Margaret Hermant, Viola: Neil Leiter, Cello: Stijn Kuppens). Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio, NY. Photos by Assiah Alcázar. Design and layout by Daniel Castrejón. LP comes on red color vinyl. Includes download code.

Drummer/composer Booker Stardrum delivers a new powerful solo album Close-up On The Outside, his first for We Jazz Records. The new record sees Stardrum (also a member of SML) doubling down on the earthy tactility of human sound and communication while also exploring rich, electroacoustic landscapes. The album involves Stardrum's close collaborators Anna Butterss, Jeremiah Chiu, Chris Williams, Lester St. Louis, Logan Hone and Michael Coleman. The opening title track and the brief "Minturn" place Stardrum's solo music in the stillness of a late summer farm, with field recordings of insects and birds localizing the music; wooden balafon-like strokes are then looped into the foundational structure of the closing "Inside Sounds," hovering at poles that are both plaintive and direct. Dry, homemade mallet instruments and field recordings also nod in the direction of Harry Partch. There's a lot of warmth and sweat in Stardrum's music -- even if it's electroacoustic, one feels that it's made by people, and there is a biologically systemic quality to the way in which digital and analog sounds are interpolated. He creates textures through midi controllers, samples, and loops, wherein acoustic sequences are altered to fit plugged-in concepts or acoustic instrumentalists are brought in to humanize what he's already mapped out electronically. Threading the unique and very present feel of other musicians into his universe with an electronic hand is a fascinating challenge. The people Stardrum chose to work with on Close-up on the Outside are mostly artists he's worked with for years, or been connected to through mutual instigators. Bringing it back to the earthbound carpet that he's striving for, the push-pull between humanism and machinery ties into an ecological concept that Stardrum wants to call attention to. Toggling between composer and organizer, sound designer and instrumentalist, Stardrum offers that this music "represents my pure vision because it's my music, but that vision also involves playing with other people and letting them do what they do and also hoping that they're trusting me to do what I do. But in the end, making a solo record is much more a conversation with myself than setting up an improvised dialogue with various collaborators. Everything has its own special place in my orbit."

On his new album, the Ivorian balafon virtuoso Aly Keïta explores new horizons for his instrument in improvised music. Together with his Berlin-based trio, he conquers the peaks of balafon possibilities one by one, wandering between groovy African rhythms, spectacular polyphony and elements of jazz, and combining them into a fusion that is both futuristic and deeply in roots. In Balafon Evolution, Keïta establishes a new level of balafon artistry, creating universal, contemporary soundscapes that transcend cultural boundaries. The Aly Keïta Trio embodies the pulsating spirit of the Berlin jazz scene. Coming from different cultural backgrounds, the three musicians found a common language on stage as they explored the metropole, one of the most active, buzzing jazz hubs of Europe. Aly Keïta and the Dutch drummer Marcel van Cleef began playing together in 2008, forming the core of the trio's future "groove machine." As a part of the Aly Keïta and Magic Balafon formation, they shared a prize of the Global music contest Creole in 2009. Recognized as one of the most intriguing and innovative bass players among the new generation, the Italian bass player Roberto Badoglio, joined trio in 2014, becoming a true "fusion reactor" of the band.

Black Tape II is only the second widely available release by Ohkami No Jikan (The Time of the Wolf), one of the more esoteric groups of the 1990s Tokyo underground. Recorded in 1992, it illuminates a largely undocumented facet of Nanjo Asahito's psychedelic cosmology, distinct from his better-known work with High Rise, Musica Transonic, and Toho Sara. Aside from a handful of limited, handmade cassettes and CD-Rs on his La Musica label, there's only been one Ohkami No Jikan album, Mort Nuit, that made it beyond the collector inner circle. One of Nanjo's longest-running, most mysterious outfits, Ohkami No Jikan's conceptualization -- as a psych outfit "that explores 'stasis' and 'motion,' both actively and philosophically" -- hints at the intensity of the music here. There's a pellucid beauty to much of Black Tape II, with the simplest, most erotically charged chord changes descending from the heavens, Nanjo moaning consumptively as the songs slip by in an acid daze. The 1992 line-up here, with Asai Fumiyo on bass and Nagao Kouji on drums, was one of many variations of Ohkami No Jikan; simultaneously languorous and heavy, at times pushed into the red with arcing blasts of feedback, the group feels cosmically aligned with Nanjo's purity of vision. Housed in a custom die-cut, "Uni-Pak" style gatefold with metallic ink, spot finishes and matching La Musica inner sleeve. La Musica Records was a label founded by Asahito Nanjo in Tokyo during the 1990s. It released nearly 200 cassettes and CD-r's, all handmade in micro-editions and sold at shows. The catalog featured artists and recordings largely of obscure, often completely unknown origin, sanctioned and "grey-area" documentation of the Tokyo psychedelic underground. Black Tape II is part of Black Edition's work to bring La Musica's unique and confoundingly beautiful catalog to light.

Following Léve Léve Vol. 1, this second volume continues a long-term exploration of the popular music of São Tomé and Príncipe, with a clear focus on rhythm, movement and dancefloor energy. Curated by Tom B., Léve Léve Vol. 2 brings together emblematic recordings from the 1970s and 1980s, carefully restored and remastered, designed as much for close listening as for DJ use. The compilation deepens and completes the first volume by returning to key groups such as Sangazuza, Conjunto Equador, Africa Negra, and Pedro Lima, while also unveiling previously unreleased or hard-to-find tracks. Across the record, puxa and socopê rhythms unfold with remarkable intensity, capturing these bands at the height of their powers: tight arrangements, driving grooves and a strong sense of collective momentum. Beyond celebration, Léve Léve Vol. 2 also reflects a precise cultural and political context. Several songs reference Luso-African independence struggles, spirituality, love and everyday life, anchoring this music in a history shaped by resistance, circulation and hybridization. Recorded in São Tomé, Luanda or Lisbon -- often with the involvement of key figures from the Lusophone diaspora -- these tracks reveal a modern musical landscape that has long remained under-documented. Conceived as a living record rather than a static archival object, this compilation speaks equally to DJs and curious listeners. It once again affirms Bongo Joe's approach: bringing powerful, popular and complex music back into circulation, without nostalgia or exoticism, and making it fully present today. Also featuring Sum Alvarinho, Tiny das Neves e Conjunto Sol d'África, Conjunto Mindelo, Bulawê N'Guli Fala, Quinta das Palmeiras, and Os Úntuès.

Time Out, a pause, like an injunction to suspend the course of events in order to project oneself into a more serene future, is the title of Malted Milk's eighth album. From the haunting Afro beat of the title track to the decadent boogaloo of "I Feel Numb", via the ballad "What a Night" and the funky "It's Alright", the band demonstrates its mastery of arrangements, its creative ability and its talent for revisiting the soul/funk genre. As with the previous album, 1975, Marco Cinelli is back on writing and production duties, bringing undeniable added value to the band's sound and aesthetic. The live translation of this album bears Malted Milk's trademark precision, energy, instrumental talent and group cohesion. Malted Milk once again demonstrates its musical strength and affirms the special place the band occupies on the current soul scene. Also featuring Benin International Musical and Ben L'oncle Soul.

Surrounded by the DIY-scene around their own self-founded recording label new basement, plainhead tries to introduce an ethos uncommon to the local music landscape in their hometown Munich and interacts between the boundaries of experimental rock and pop. You Are More Than A Thousand Words is a romantic gesture dedicated to the stars, a subtle mix of chamber pop, experimental acoustic indie and '00s indietronics. plainhead is the project by Tianping Christoph Xiao, who founded new basement together with his friends trying to build a sustainable music scene in Munich. Today on a monthly basis, a wide international spectrum of music is being introduced via new basement. plainhead has played alongside artists such as Quade, Contacto and other contemporary artists interested in the acoustic post-rock idealism -- a similar breeze as Bristol's '90s/'00s community scene surrounding Movietone, Crescent and other musical idealists.

Das bisschen Totschlag's new LP 0dB Headroom drifts through a cathartic kind of vulnerability -- telling stories of losing, larking, and feeling everything all at once. Its soundscape echoes the act of remembering: manipulated samples and floating guitars bent through distorted electronics embody memory not as a fixed archive, but as something alive: tender, fractured, shifting. Moments come back in flashes -- sometimes radiant, sometimes aching, always familiar, yet blurred and distorted. A beautiful mess that you can't ever fully capture. FFO: Alex G, Wednesday, Maria Somerville.

"Pat Kelly's So Proud from 1979 stands as a masterful blend of rocksteady elegance and 1970s reggae consciousness. Backed by The Aggrovators and mixed by King Tubby, Kelly's silky vocals glide over deep rhythms, balancing heartfelt love songs with socially aware themes. Often likened to soul legends like Sam Cooke, Kelly's refined tenor and emotive delivery shine in this reissue, restoring a sought-after gem in the Burning Sounds catalogue."

LP version. "The Rippers were a German band from the late 1960s who released Honesty -- a record that blends beat, psych, and garage-flavored rock with soul touches. Originally released in 1968, Honesty features soulful organ flourishes, driving guitar leads, and vocals that, while sung in English, carry the unmistakable accent and energy of a band eager to mix American/British styles into their own sound. The title track 'Honesty' kicks off with urgency and melody, whilst the 'The Night At The Lagoon' drifts into garage-psych territory, full of fuzz and attitude. It's a rarity in the German beat scene -- unpolished, heartfelt, and authentically '60s. The Rippers are Joachim Gottschalk (guitar, vocals), Lutz Wolf (rhythm guitar, vocals, leader), Peter Kempf (drums), Hans Enderle (organ, piano), and Fernando Rossell (bass)."

sMiLes, the eleventh album by Canadian-Haitian musician Jowee Omicil, stands out as a vibrant manifesto of freedom and authenticity.

Through eleven tracks and a bonus track featuring multi-award-winning singer Dominique Fils-Aimé, Jowee unfolds a uniquely rich soundscape. The album navigates between the legacy of Abbey Lincoln and the resonances of Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter, and Roy Hargrove, while asserting a deeply personal identity. Between Cap-Haïtien and 52nd Street in New York, between voodoo drums and cosmic vibrations, sMiLes illustrates the approach of an artist in constant search of innovation, faithful to his essence and his creative freedom.

Hailing from Kansas City and mid-century America, Robert Steinhilber, AKA Catfish Rushdie, is a drummer/percussionist/animator/illustrator who was a founding member of Ska band The X-Streams in the 1970s in Los Angeles California. After discovering Jamaican music in London in 1971, he tripped around the US as a carny, hitchhiked all over Australia, went to Art School in Miami, then settled on the I-10 corridor between Phoenix and LA where he began his checkered career forming and playing in a variety of bands for the next few decades which includes stints with The Skanksters, X-Streams, Jerry's Kids, Victory Acres, Rhythm Clinic, Sun City Girl's Big Band, and Eddy Detroit. As the founding art director of BEAT magazine, he frequently appeared on KCRW's flagship radio show The Reggae Beat. As a designer, he has worked on LP covers for Lee Scratch Perry, The Heptones, and Bob Marley & The Wailers. As an animator, he started in the late '70s working under Al Brodax (Producer of The Beatles Yellow Submarine), created a controversial 7-minute film called That's My Terrorist (screened at the Scottsdale animated film festival in 2004) along with Cardiac Neurotic, an unreleased feature starring Sun City Girls. For the past few years, Rushdie has been spending time performing in Springfield Oregon and recording in Cairo Egypt where he's just finished his first solo album Count Your Blessings. He describes the record as "a musical dark comedy -- each song an impression of the early 21st century, with a couple of hangovers from the late 20th. A combination plate of novel diseases, social decay, cannibalism (carnivorous and financial), addiction, reckless driving, mass-media psyops, broken hearts, political assassination and genocide." The record also features an unlikely cast of players including Gilbert Zvmaida (guitarist for Thomas Mapfumo -- The Lion of Zimbabwe), Maurice McConnell (played with Zoot Horn Rollo), Sean Jackson, and Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls). This CD edition is limited to only 200 copies and features a 6-page booklet insert with photos of the band members."

Berlin's experimental trio ZAHN returns with their most electrifying work yet. A lush fusion of heaviness, electronics, and hallucinatory color. Monolithic grooves meet synthetic shimmer. Purpur breathes tension and danger, pulsing with depth and density. Known for their intense, driving sound that echoes the relentless march of a world on the edge, the trio ZAHN -- Chris Breuer, Nic Stockmann, and Felix Gebhard -- are deepening their sonic exploration with a record that is simultaneously more electronic and more rock-infused than their acclaimed predecessors. Purpur takes its cue from the album's vivid cover -- a burst of grapes and berries that mirrors its lush, colorful sound. The record blends potent genres into something fresh and electrifying: heavy foundations meet rich electronic textures, creating layers of color, complexity, and a touch of hallucinatory sweetness. Recorded once again in Gyhum with recording engineer Peter Voigtmann (ex-The Ocean, Death By Gong, Heads), Purpur follows in the footsteps of the band's previous work but also marks a bold leap forward. Guest appearances by Fabian Bremer (Radare, AUA) and Kjetil Nernes (Ârabrot) deepen the record's sense of unease and allure, while Magnus Lindberg's (Cult of Luna) mix and master give it the depth of a subterranean pulse -- crisp, heavy and alive with microscopic detail. While Adria offered a vivid escape through Krautrock, dark jazz, noise rock and post-punk, Purpur draws listeners into a denser, more intricate and tightly woven soundscape. The band's third full-length is an intoxicating swirl of synthetic pulse and physical heft -- a record that feels like it's been fermented rather than composed. Also available on black (CSRLP 035LP) and blue color vinyl (CSRLP 035X-LP).

"Brown Acid is the longest running compilation series collecting obscure, heavy underground rock tracks from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s, released by RidingEasy Records in collaboration with Owner of Permanent Records Lance Barresi and RidingEasy Owner Daniel Hall. It focuses on hard rock, proto-metal, heavy psych, stoner-ish acid rock, and early proto-punk from bands that usually only managed to release a lone demo 45 or self-released single before disappearing into obscurity. Framed as a kind of 'post-hippie, pre-punk' document, the series digs up and properly licenses these forgotten cuts, presenting them as numbered 'Trips' that function both as a historical excavation of a lost heavy rock underground and as a cult-favorite listening experience for modern fans of fuzzed-out, riff-heavy sounds. This mixtape done by Mr. Dibbs is to showcase these songs in a different light to show just how broad and psychedelic the Brown Acid series really is, giving it a new take that has never been done before with this kind of material."

"Three legends of jazz and improvised music. A historic three-day concert featuring Derek Bailey, Han Bennink, and Evan Parker, already at the peak of their arts, both free-spirited and deeply attentive to one another (in duo form) or to each other (in trio form), and, of course, incredibly creative. A rare and precious find! Such a recording deserved a beautiful presentation, and that's exactly what we get. A magnificent four-disc set with a booklet. Each disc has its own gatefold sleeve with photos from the concert. The booklet includes liner notes by Bill Shoemaker, Sturat Broomer, Philippe Alen, Joël Pagier, and Jean Rochard, as well as an explanatory note by Jean-Marc Foussat, who recorded the concert."

"Finally the second release on the Unknown Province sublabel of Feeding Tube records and it's a doozy: the self-released 1988 LP Delusions by Corpusse. Well known to deep-underground scenes in Canada, few know about the Canadian 'King of Rock N Roll' elsewhere. Corpusse was still a teenager in the Park-Ex neighborhood of Montreal when Delusions was released. The photo on the back tells you all you need to know featuring the young man standing on the city's shittiest back-alley snowbank. Nothing has really ever come close to the sheer cathartic energy -- some might say insanity -- of Corpusse's lyrics, toeing the line between Shakespearean monologue and GG Allin rant. Beneath him rumbles a Korg Poly-6 ('best fucking synth ever' he says) and a Welson organ. Somebody would probably call it Dungeon Synth now but this was 1988. The decrepit, burned-out city being delusionally painted by a bald and bearded artist on the cover is certainly the location in which Corpusse's gothic dramas are set. Most surely a metaphor for Montreal in 1988 -- a veritable Gotham by all accounts. Includes liner notes by Corpusse himself, describing the scene vividly. I've always felt Delusions formed a holy-trinity of self-released Montreal LPs of the 1980s alongside Carlyle Williams' Gotta Go For It and the American Devices Decensortized LPs. All three possess brain-fried, maverick visions of rock n roll which sometimes border on psychosis." --Alex Moskos, Montreal Jan 2026

"First vinyl offering by this fine Barcelona improv trio featuring Mark Cunningham (trumpet), Pablo Volt (trumpet, flugelhorn) and Andreu Serra (many forms of strings). C/V/S's two previous cassettes include 2022's Ad Hoc, and the work on Introspective Movement is as brilliant as always. While there's much utilization of effects, pedals and delays, the music here is definitely in the jazz realm. Mark's floating clouds of trumpet capture the futuristic Chet Baker vibe he so often explores, but Pablo's approach to trumpet and flugelhorn puts me in mind of the more brambly work of the Italian brass master, Enrico Rava. Andreu is a multi-instrumentalist, but here he is focused on guitars and their cousins, playing in an abstractly expressive mode that can recall the most reflective passages created by Keith Rowe. Which is not to imply that C/V/S's music is in any way mimetic. Expatriated to Barcelona for 35 years, Mark has developed the habit of making music with some of the best musicians that city's underground has produced. His many projects can seem related insomuch as they usually rely on sophisticated textural juxtapositions rather than high energy blasts to create their frisson, and so it is with C/V/S. The dozen pocket-sized compositions on Introspective Movement rarely combine elements in jarring ways, although the pieces can be dizzyingly unbalanced at times. This results from the way the trio presents multiple points of melodic/sonic focus, emphasizing the multiplicity of equally weighted individual voices, rather than the smoosh of purely collective aktion. It's a great way to do things, and allows the three to introduce some very weird electronic elements without disturbing the music's beautiful sonance. The results here are as fucking boss as anything Mark has done yet. And that is saying something." --Byron Coley, 2026

"Blurt was founded in Stroud, UK, in 1979 as part of the post-punk movement by poet, saxophonist und puppeteer Ted Milton along with Milton's brother Jake, formerly of psychedelic group Quintessence, on drums and Peter Creese on guitar. After three albums Creese left the band to be replaced by Herman Martin on synthesizers who, after a year of constant touring left the band, and was replaced by Steve Eagles, former member of Satan's Rats, The Photos, and Bang Bang Machine. Shortly thereafter Jake Milton left to be replaced by Nic Murcott, who was subsequently replaced by Paul Wigens. Most of Blurt's compositions feature simple, repetitive, minimalistic guitar and/or saxophone phrases, but they can also explore more abstract musical territories, often serving as an atmospheric backdrop for Ted Milton's existentialist poetry. The music has been described as Dada-Avantgarde-Jazz or Paranoid Jazz-Mutant Funk. Practically impossible to pigeonhole. In the early 1990s, Ted Milton also released a small run of self-made lyrics books. Smoke Time was originally released in 1987 on the Toeblock label and features some of the group's best-known songs. The mini-album The Body came out the next year with a new version of the title song and four songs that became standards in Blurt live shows. Remastered in 2025 by Martin Bowes."

"Founded in 1992 after Robin Storey left Zoviet France, Rapoon soon became an outstanding ethno-dark ambient project that has gained a cult following all over the world. More than 80 albums have been released over those nearly 30 years, some more beat driven, others more playful and with ambient sounds and ethnic influences. Rapoon has never stopped evolving -- think of Cultural Forgeries, an album full of unplugged acoustic music. Or Downgliding, full of compositions on the piano. Recent Klanggalerie albums include Waiting by the River, an album that introduced vocals to the Rapoon sound, or Little Rocket Man which was inspired by the political situation in 2018 with Trump as president in the United States or Moka 24 inspired by the 1920 night club in the TV series Babylon Berlin. The Silent Trumpets is Robin Storey's latest album and it carries all the Rapoon trademark sounds that fans all love."

Tragic Magic brings together Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore, two of contemporary ambient, experimental and electronic music's most celebrated composers, for a unique collaboration at the Philharmonie de Paris, with extraordinary access to the Musée de la Musique's instrument collection, in partnership with the French label InFiné. The album features seven immersive, evocative compositions guided by the human spirit -- intimate, grounded in friendship, both earthly and cosmic -- and part of a greater continuum, reflecting the solace and transformative power of artistry across generations. Co-produced by Trevor Spencer (Fleet Foxes, Beach House), Tragic Magic was created in just nine days, a testament to the "musical telepathy" that has developed between Barwick and Lattimore over years of touring and friendship. Arriving in Paris from Los Angeles shortly after the 2025 wildfires, their sessions combined improvisation with the emotions and experiences they carried, in a setting both inspiring and deeply supportive. Lattimore selected harps tracing the instrument's evolution from 1728 to 1873, while Barwick chose several iconic analog synthesizers, including the Roland JUPITER and Sequential Circuits PROPHET-5. In freeform dialogue between voice and instrument, they create a meditation on tragedy, wonder, and the restorative power of shared experience. The duo, often joined by Spencer, also explored the city, sharing meals and visiting museums and landmarks, each encounter leaving an impression on their next session. The experience allowed them to work intimately with rare instruments, blending their personal sensibilities with centuries of history, resulting in music that honors the past while remaining a deeply authentic expression of the present. Throughout Tragic Magic, Barwick and Lattimore find something beyond themselves: a sense that while everything may not be okay, beauty persists. Their approach -- transforming life into music, observing, feeling, and creating -- continues a lineage of creative expression and visionary invention, embodied in the very instruments they employed for this project. LP version (IF 1100LP) comes in forest green biovinyl and includes 30x60cm poster, printed inner-sleeves.

LP version. Forest Green biovinyl. Includes Poster 30x60 cm, printed inner-sleeves. Tragic Magic brings together Julianna Barwick and Mary Lattimore, two of contemporary ambient, experimental and electronic music's most celebrated composers, for a unique collaboration at the Philharmonie de Paris, with extraordinary access to the Musée de la Musique's instrument collection, in partnership with the French label InFiné. The album features seven immersive, evocative compositions guided by the human spirit -- intimate, grounded in friendship, both earthly and cosmic -- and part of a greater continuum, reflecting the solace and transformative power of artistry across generations. Co-produced by Trevor Spencer (Fleet Foxes, Beach House), Tragic Magic was created in just nine days, a testament to the "musical telepathy" that has developed between Barwick and Lattimore over years of touring and friendship. Arriving in Paris from Los Angeles shortly after the 2025 wildfires, their sessions combined improvisation with the emotions and experiences they carried, in a setting both inspiring and deeply supportive. Lattimore selected harps tracing the instrument's evolution from 1728 to 1873, while Barwick chose several iconic analog synthesizers, including the Roland JUPITER and Sequential Circuits PROPHET-5. In freeform dialogue between voice and instrument, they create a meditation on tragedy, wonder, and the restorative power of shared experience.

Alien Tropical: the perfect title for the second album by Servicio Al Cliente (Customer Service), the project of Colombian-born, Berlin-resident Juliana Martinez. If you were cannily seduced by the debut self-titled Servicio Al Cliente album, from way back in 2021, the wait for a follow-up has felt long, but Alien Tropical was worth the wait: an album full of play and spirit, verve and sparkle, rich with pop spirit and with one eye smartly cocked toward the dancefloor. That first Servicio Al Cliente album was a smart statement of intent, and a wonderful, unexpected turn from Martinez, who'd already been through plenty: being expelled from private music lessons, training in law, joining a group named Las Palabras Correctas. 2021's Servicio Al Cliente landed on the turntables of anyone with discerning radar. With Alien Tropical, Martinez works the sensual sway of her music even harder, building six luscious songs that twist chant-like repetitions into hypnotic mantras, each song the perfect confluence of melody and mystery. When asked about Alien Tropical, Martinez pieces together fragments of memory: winter explorations, long road trips, navigating the highways and the heart. "I had been driving a lot at the time on the highway," she recalls. "I depended on music I played in the car to manage my emotions and my thoughts on those long drives. Everything felt strange and unfamiliar on the highway, and I realized music was so psychological and my only tool to influence my feelings between highways and new places." So, the music becomes the narrative for where the body and the heart want to go. That might explain the gentle yearning in Alien Tropical, and its eternal hypnotic, its sense of forever forward-motion, as though the music is flickering like the highway strip reflected in the rear-view mirror. But there's also the skyward movement of the melodies, the way their loveliness lifts these six songs up through the clouds, like the helium balloons on the cover. From the sensual swelter of "Suelta Por La Pampa" to the shimmering tones and clacking keys of the closing title track, it's a spirited encounter: "a feeling," Martinez confirms, "an encounter with my synths in a place I needed to be."

David Zé's Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viúva da Liberdade is a major milestone in Angolan music, intensely blending semba, rumba, and bolero, recorded at the height of the country's liberation struggle. Both soulful and political, the album resonates far beyond Luanda, carrying a universal spirit akin to that of Bob Marley. Originally released on CDA with Conjunto Merengue, it captures David Zé at his creative peak. Sung in Portuguese and local dialects, it combines rhythmic elegance with deep commitment, weaving links between Afro-Brazilian and Latin American traditions. After his assassination in 1977, the album was banned for several years, before being reborn as an essential work of resistance and beauty. In 2008, his legacy found a new echo when Damian Marley and Nas sampled "Undenge Uami" on Distant Relatives.

Tulipa Ruiz is a Latin Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and illustrator from São Paulo. Born in a family of musicians (her father, Luiz Chagas, played with Itamar Assumpção, and her brother, Gustavo Ruiz, is her longtime producer), she follows the footsteps of the Vanguarda Paulista and offers a bold, genre-bending sound. Fusing MPB, soul, pop, and rock, her music is joyful, rich, and one of a kind. Since her debut album, Efêmera (2010), Tulipa has become one of Brazil's most distinctive voices, with five critically acclaimed albums, collaborations with Elza Soares and Milton Nascimento, and performances at international festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival and Lollapalooza. From the hypnotic "Samaúma" to the infectious "Estardalhaço," Habilidades Extraordinarias seamlessly blends improvisation and groove. The duet "Disco Voador" with João Donato, one of her last recordings, bridges generations, combining bossa-jazz swing and the warmth of Donato's Fender Rhodes with Tulipa's luminous vocals. "Pluma Black" (featuring Negro Leo) explores pre-jazz abstraction, while "Novelos" and the album's title track evoke the soul-jazz of the Hermeto Pascoal and Stevie Wonder era. Acclaimed throughout Brazil, Habilidades Extraordinarias established Tulipa Ruiz as a leading figure in modern MPB, combining melodic sophistication, humor, and emotional depth. Ten years after her spectacular climb to success and her Latin Grammy Award victory, she continues to enrich the Brazilian pop and jazz scene.

Daphni's fourth studio album Butterfly at first picks up where his last album, 2022's Cherry left off. Though a sizeable gap for Daphni releases, between Cherry and Butterfly however of course sits Honey, the latest Caribou album and one that saw the more instantaneous and dancefloor leaning traits of Daphni peaking through the cracks more than ever before. This blurring of the lines leads to an intriguing collaboration in Butterfly's lead single "Waiting So Long" (feat. Caribou). An unlikely duo -- in that both artists are the same man, Dan Snaith -- it is not so much an identity crisis, ego trip, or the result of a chemical spill in the Snaith laboratory. It's simply a track that Snaith felt for the first time belongs to both aliases, and might appeal to fans of both. Daphni music has always been Snaith's way of hitting directly to the core of the dancefloors he spends so much of his time playing to, and those dancefloors have been steadily expanding as his name grows, with the music following suit. This album however also draws from further back with a definite kinship to the very first Daphni album, the invigorating bag of ideas that was Jiaolong. Butterfly is a showcase of the wonderful variety and surprising twists and turns that made that album such an exciting new prospect and that still to this day make Snaith such an intriguing DJ. There are more heavy hitters here, tracks that fill those dancefloors better than anyone, like "Clap Your Hands" which picks up the energy of "Sad Piano House" and flips it, exposing the gritty and intoxicating underbelly of Snaith's hitmaking side, while retaining the playful urgency that runs through all of his work of late. Meanwhile "Hang"'s comic-strip horns are unpinned by gleeful force, unrelenting and thrillingly unshakeable. Elsewhere though comes a clutch of other tunes that might creep out somewhere more off the beaten path, a path Snaith has never stopped seeking in amongst his larger billings. "Lucky" is squirmy and elusively intoxicating, "Invention" skitters down meandering, inviting corridors, "Talk To Me" grumbles and broods in the murk, and "Miles Smiles" could roll on endlessly, so confident in its groove. Right from the inception of the Daphni alias, the thrill of trying stuff out, pushing at the boundaries has always been there and on Butterfly is present in all its twists and turns. Also available on black (JIAOLONG 034LP) and pink color vinyl (JIAOLONG 034CLP).

Amsterdam-based producer Retromigration makes his debut on the launch of a new Oathcreations imprint Karamürselli with Can't Go, a hyper-kinetic and rapturous piece of dance music sure to ensnare any dancefloor. Inspired by soul, funk, jazz, and hip-hop, his auditory identity is one of profound melodic effusion and expert percussive sequences, absorbed within life-affirming atmospheres. "Can't Go" feels like yet another landmark, tuning itself into the pulsating energies of the club, drawing lines between bass music, footwork, garage and jungle. The release is completed with "Distant," featuring fuller harmonies, a tear-jerking chordal line and a spiritual sax solo.

And yes, the floor is indeed lava when Mayer is on peak form, as he is here, with three tracks that oscillate, effortlessly, between the twin poles of Mayer's music: dancefloor detonation and heart-wrenching beauty. Speicher is as Speicher does, and this is a damn good one.

"Out of circulation since 1976, the recordings of the Los Angeles rock band Mogan David and His Winos is finally be available again. The group's lineup featured a 'who's who' of heavyweights in the American music industry, including Harold Bronson and Richard Foos (co-founders of Rhino Records), Paul Rappaport (Columbia Records), and Mark Leviton (Rhino/Warner Music Group). Additionally, the band included Jonathan Kellerman, a New York Times bestselling author known for his series of novels starring the fictional child psychologist Alex Delaware. Started in high school by Bronson, a music-obsessed Los Angeles native, the Winos' band name was derived from Westfield, New York's Mogen David Wine Company, inspired by those crazy band names from the psychedelic era, such as Jefferson Airplane and Strawberry Alarm Clock. The Savage Young Winos LP received some national attention, with Creem Magazine's Lester Bangs writing, 'Side one's at least as listenable as Roxy Music. Hooracha and more power to 'em.' By 1974, Bronson was working as store manager at the recently launched Rhino Records retail store on Westwood Boulevard. In collaboration with the store's owner, Richard Foos, Bronson's Kosher Records evolved into a new independent label, also named Rhino Records. This release of Savage Young Winos follows its predecessor by an amazing 53-year gap. Bronson, who also serves as producer for the project, decided to leave off four songs from the earlier release that he felt hadn't stood the test of time. They have been replaced with a pair of demo tracks, additional live recordings from the period, and two tracks from a Winos' reunion session in 1993. The CD includes 19 tracks packaged with a 24-page booklet with extensive liner notes and rare photos."

"In 1971 several dozen African American soul, jazz, and gospel artists embarked on a journey that would change the lives of everyone involved. They traveled from New York City to Ghana, West Africa to take part in a 13-hour concert entitled Soul to Soul. The concert was a celebration of 14 years of Ghana's independence from British rule. For most of these artists it was their first trip to Africa. For the African American musicians, this was a journey about personal roots, the ancestral homeland, history, discovery, loss, pain and joy. Directed by Academy Award winner Denis Sanders the concert film/documentary had a limited theatrical run in 1971. It now returns restored with the original edit reconstructing each scene using high quality 2K transfers from the original film elements, which were shot in the 4:3 aspect ratio. The soundtrack has been digitally remastered. Soul to Soul is an electrifying concert film that features its players at the peak of their powers. The Ike & Tina Turner Revue deliver fiery renditions of 'River Deep-Mountain High,' 'Soul to Soul,' a cut specifically written for this concert; and Otis Redding's 'I've Been Loving You Too Long.' Wilson Pickett, the most popular American artist known to West Africans at the time, delivers a rousing finale of 'In the Midnight Hour,' 'Funky Broadway,' and 'Land of a 1000 Dances.' Gospel/Soul family group the Staples Singers were on hand to perform 'When Will Be We Paid' and 'Are You Sure.' Les McCann and Eddie Harris introduced many to jazz via spirited performances of 'The Price You Gotta Pay to Be Free' and 'Hey Jorler,' the latter featuring local Ghanaian artist Amoah Azangeo. Santana, with guest percussionist Willie Bobo was the wild card. The group only had one African American member but given its reliance on Afro-Cuban and Latin American rhythm constructs played the most African-sounding music of any with 'Black Magic Woman'/'Gypsy Queen' and 'Jungle Strut.'"

This triple disc release documents Stefan Goldmann's earliest electroacoustic works. These clear-cut algorithmic compositions, mostly created between 1999 and 2001, were built entirely with the TC Fireworx processor's internal synthesizer and effects. Generated and recorded anew for this release with the original programs, a central component of Stefan Goldmann's sound aesthetic is revisited and becomes available in pure form for the first time. His proprietary Fireworx algorithms feature prominently in a multitude of tracks and long-form works, including Phraselab (2005), De-Gauss (2015), Voices of the Dead (2008) and Live at Honen-In Temple (2012). The automated synthesis and effects chains utilize a few layered basic functions to drive kaleidoscopic sound environments which are simultaneously stable while constantly changing: Electric rivers of sound flowing continuously through the same bed, while never repeating themselves quite exactly.

"The Rippers were a German band from the late 1960s who released Honesty -- a record that blends beat, psych, and garage-flavored rock with soul touches. Originally released in 1968, Honesty features soulful organ flourishes, driving guitar leads, and vocals that, while sung in English, carry the unmistakable accent and energy of a band eager to mix American/British styles into their own sound. The title track 'Honesty' kicks off with urgency and melody, whilst the 'The Night At The Lagoon' drifts into garage-psych territory, full of fuzz and attitude. It's a rarity in the German beat scene -- unpolished, heartfelt, and authentically '60s. The Rippers are Joachim Gottschalk (guitar, vocals), Lutz Wolf (rhythm guitar, vocals, leader), Peter Kempf (drums), Hans Enderle (organ, piano), and Fernando Rossell (bass)."

With her sophomore album Jawbreaker, Sam Quealy cements her status as one of pop's most daring new voices. Like the cult candy it's named after, Jawbreaker is bold, addictive, and dangerously fun -- a sugar-coated explosion of chaos, glamour, and emotion. Produced alongside longtime collaborator Marlon Magnée (La Femme) between their Paris home studio and the legendary Studio Ferber, the album marks a striking evolution from Blonde Venus (2023). Here, Quealy trades the sharp edges of techno-pop for a lush, disco-infused sound, blending live instrumentation and cinematic sheen with her trademark anarchic energy. The result is a record that feels liberating, hedonistic, and deeply human -- a vibrant antidote to modern gloom. From the euphoric escape of "LONDONTOWN" to the dark romance of "LOVE LASSO," and the shimmering pop fantasy of "GIRLS NIGHT," Quealy channels a thousand versions of herself -- club queen, rock diva, dreamer, and provocateur. The ethereal duet "BY MY SIDE" with Magnée closes the album in a haze of tenderness and light. A multidisciplinary artist -- singer, dancer, performer, and visual visionary -- Quealy extends her universe through spectacular music videos and high-energy live shows that merge fashion, choreography, and raw emotion. On stage, she's magnetic: a whirlwind of hyper-femininity and power, commanding every room with unfiltered authenticity. With Jawbreaker, Sam Quealy delivers a fearless pop statement -- an exhilarating fusion of sensitivity, chaos, and self-expression that confirms her as a genre-defying visionary ready to take over the world.

One of the UK's most singular voices, Murkage Dave has spent the last decade crafting a body of work that refuses to fit neatly into any genre box. His music, loosely pop but informed by indie, outsider art, and an instinct for storytelling, is built on honesty, empathy, and fearless social commentary. Across his career, he has earned a cult following and praise from Pharrell Williams, Iggy Pop, BBC Radio 6 Music, The Guardian, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Clash, Complex, Highsnobiety, and Vogue. With Brut Thoughts, Dave connects the inner turbulence of modern life with the fractured world around him, reflecting on internet culture, overstimulation, immigrant experience, political extremism and the power of community. The album channels present-day anger and disillusionment while refusing to lose sight of hope. A cathartic soundtrack for life in late capitalism, the album draws inspiration from Talking Heads, Sampha, The Smiths, and The Streets. It came together in an unorthodox, nomadic way, across living rooms and borrowed studios in London, Manchester, Berlin, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, and the Danish countryside. The record's collaborative spirit is central to its DNA, featuring contributions from James from Yard Act, Kayus from Young Fathers, Ellery from WU LYF, and Lauren Auder. The title Brut Thoughts draws from Jean Dubuffet's "Art Brut" movement -- an embrace of outsider art and raw, untrained creativity. "Brut" also means both "raw" in French and "unsweetened" in English, reflecting the album's spirit of unfiltered honesty. The title references the classic Brut fragrance too, tied to the working-class masculinity of his grandad's and dad's generation. Made during the period of his father's passing in early 2024, the record holds onto a quiet belief that things can change -- a thread of hope running beneath its heaviness.

Explosive. Urgent. Wildly inventive. Everyday Timebomb captures Dog Faced Hermans at their most fearless -- fusing punk intensity, free jazz chaos and political fire into a sound that defies genre and time. Long out of print and increasingly difficult to find, this lost classic is finally back on vinyl and for the first time on its own CD -- for a new generation to discover. Formed in the vibrant European post-punk scene of the late '80s, Dog Faced Hermans stood apart for their raw energy, charismatic vocals and an instrumentation that inspired artists from The Ex to Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Their fearless spirit and DIY ethos turned noise into art and protest into rhythm. This limited reissue stays true to the original analog sound while the fresh remastering gives the original tracks new depth and punch. Each copy includes carefully reproduced artwork and archival notes celebrating the band's unforgettable legacy. For fans of Chumbawamba, Rip Rig + Panic, Fugazi, and anyone who believes that music should sound like liberation itself. Everyday Timebomb is more than a record. It's a reminder of how revolutionary sound can be. LP limited to 500 copies; CD is mini-LP-format housed in Stoughton tip-on jacket. Cut at Schnittstelle Mastering and pressed at Optimal in Germany.

Just 10 years on from their debut album, Stepmother returns with a fresh lineup and a brand-new album: Bring Me Flowers And Tell Me You Love Me. Stepmother's original core -- Lukas Simonis (Dull Schicksal, Bazip Zeehok, Coolhaven), Jeroen Visser (Tetras, Rhumbus B., Fendika & K-Sanchis) and Bill Gilonis (The Work, The Hat Shoes, Hail) -- has been expanded to include vocalist/multidisciplinarian Tisa World and drummer Philipp Ernsting (Albatre, Doktor Schnitt), thereby creating an Anglo-Dutch-Slovenian-German formation that feels familiar and at the same time utterly innovative. Work on the new release began shortly after Stepmother's first album Calvary Greetings came out, but progress was initially slow as the recordings seem to lack a component that was both crucial and elusive. When outstanding singer Tisa World entered the picture, however, everything clicked and the record was completed relatively fast. What is different from the first album? Back then it was "Anglo-American-Dutch post-punk prog rock and experimental soundscapes with a dash of Bonzo Dog Band thrown in." What more could you ask for? Well, this time the journey is just as eclectic musically, with nifty electronics, spooky horn sections, gritty guitars and inspired drumming by Ernsting. But over it all, Tisa World's captivating voice takes us to uncharted territories, completing and complementing the instrumental parts while leading us from succulent plants to great trading days (revisited), and from drunken gamblers to goblin markets. The album really is (way) more than the sum of its parts -- and once again it comes beautifully packaged with artwork by graphic design maestro Alfred Boland. Some sort of time -- possibly splendid -- is guaranteed for all! LP limited to 400 copies; CD has extra track not on LP. Cut at Schnittstelle Mastering and pressed at Optimal in Germany.

"For almost 58 years, Mani Neumeier, the enfant terrible of German rock music, and his band Guru Guru have been among the most consistent and innovative groups in German rock history. Far removed from the mainstream, Guru Guru have always gone their own way with their synthesis of experimental rock, avant-garde approaches, jazz variations, and world music influences. This was also the case with the album Mani und seine Freunde (Mani and His Friends). The year was 1974, and Mani Neumeier had actually disbanded his Gurus at the end of the year. But shortly thereafter, the energetic drummer and singer found himself in the studio with a few friends to record a quasi-'solo album,' which ultimately ended up being released under the Guru Guru label. Mani called, and the 'who's who' of the German Krautrock scene answered his call: Dieter Moebius and Achim Rodelius from Harmonia, Ingo Bischof and Tommy Goldschmidt from Karthago, Helmut Hattler, Jan Fride, and Peter Wolbrandt from Kraan, former Guru Guru guitarist Ax Genrich, guitarist Sepp Jandrisits, bassist Jogi Karpenkiel, who would be part of the next Guru Guru lineup, and -- somewhat outside the norm -- US blues singer and pianist Champion Jack Dupree. In keeping with the large number of musicians involved, Mani and His Friends is stylistically very diverse. It ranges from light-hearted, funky jazz rock à la Kraan -- most of the pieces were written with the participation of Hattler and Wohlbrandt -- to well-tempered ethno jazz rock and Mani's pun rock 'Chicken Rock,' as celebrated on 'Tango Fango' just under a year and a half later. The centerpiece of the album is the percussive long track 'From Another World.' After that, '1, 2, 3, 4, Marsch'n'Rock' lifts the mood enormously. The track transitions into a radio broadcast of Champion Jack Dupree's 'Drink Wine,' thus forming the conclusion of a very successful album."

Born at the turning point between apartheid and democratic South Africa, the Xitsonga bubblegum-disco duo Chibuku embodies the energy of a time of change, as Nelson Mandela was released from prison and kwaito began to emerge. Although they did not achieve the fame of figures such as Paul Ndlovu or Penny Penny, their only album Maxambe (1992) is now considered a precious time capsule, a raw disco treasure rediscovered by lovers of forgotten music. Behind the project is Dr Joe Shirimani, a guitarist, singer, composer and producer of genius from Tzaneen and Soshanguve, recognized as one of the major architects of South African disco and bubblegum. Long overlooked, Maxambe nevertheless bears witness to an era and a social perspective: migration ("Lekomfere"), debt and economics ("Xikweleti"), and family relationships ("Mhamazala"). The music is festive in appearance, but deeply rooted in the reality of its time. Released on Tusk/Diamond Music, an iconic label of the 1980s and 1990s bought out by Gallo Record Company, Chibuku is now emerging as a diamond rediscovered from the archives of South African disco. Its name, borrowed from a millet beer popular in several southern African countries, sums up the spirit of the group: popular, sincere and deeply rooted in local culture.

"Music On Vinyl's well-received series of Golden Earring remastered and expanded editions continue with On The Double. The Red Bullet archive was turned inside out again by Wouter Bessels and he found the original first-generation quarter inch master tapes of this classic 1969 album. These particular tapes have never been used for any release before, as in the analogue days of mixing and mastering it was customary to run off a set of equalized tape copies -- with compression and sometimes reverb added -- for release on vinyl and cassette. The first-generation tapes sound dynamic and have a wonderful late ;60s brilliance. You'll probably have never heard the lush orchestral arrangement of 'Just A Little Bit Of Peace In My Heart' so dynamic and fresh before. These tapes were hi-res digitally transferred and carefully remastered by Wouter Bessels. Also, genuine stereo mixes of both 'Dong-Dong-Di-Ki-Di-Gi-Dong' and its B-side 'Wake Up-Breakfast!' were found. As the On The Double album was mixed in glorious stereo, MOV has included these never-before released stereo mixes (instead of the original 1968 mono mixes), alongside the original stereo mixes of 'Where Would I Be'/'It's Alright, But I Admit It Could Be Better', the single that came out after On The Double. All in all, this expanded release of On The Double contains everything released by Golden Earrings between the albums Miracle Mirror and Eight Miles High and, as it features all original stereo mixes, fills another important hole in the reissue program of the band. On The Double (remastered and expanded) is now available as an individually numbered edition of 1000 copies on crystal clear vinyl. It contains an insert, printed inner sleeves with liner notes by acclaimed Golden Earring biographer and archivist Jeroen Ras and additional remastering notes and comes in a gatefold sleeve."

The Malian guitar virtuoso, Mama Sissoko, was introduced to music by his uncle Djeli Baba Sissoko. His music history counts legendary bands like Orchestra A de Bamako, Orchestre National de Bamako, and Super Biton de Ségou as lead singer and guitarist. Awarded the Ebony Guitar Prize in 1970 in Mali, and Mérite National in France in 2023, Sissoko has long been one of the internationally sought for guitarists, and his collaborations count Santana, Herbie Hancock as well as opening BB King's shows. Coming from the Manding culture, Mama's compositions are largely influenced by blues and jazz, mixed with the traditional rhythms of Bobo, Bambara, Sarakolé, Peul, Songhaï and Mandingue. The 13-track album Diamond Fingers is produced by his long time protege, the French photographer Françoise Huguier. Sissoko uses irony in texts critical to the absurdities faced by immigrants in the post-colonial realities.

"The stories of great high school funk bands are, thanks to an abundance of reissues, commonplace. The tales of great high school soul-bands are still rare. A ballad or two on the random Douglass High School Stage Band album or Timeless Legend's mesmerizing entry on Columbus's 1972 1st Annual Inner City Talent Expo not withstanding, high school bands rarely struck into the realm of 'grown folks' music. Enter The Equatics and their brooding masterpiece Doin' It!!!! If this is categorized as a 'funk,' it holds its own. But it was as a soul band, one as inspired by the melancholic musings of Bill Withers as the psychedelic-pop of the self-proclaimed 'Black Moses,' Issac Hayes -- that the Equatics shone. These young souls offered world-weary, beat-heavy ballads that stand on par with any of the great independent organizations of the early 1970s. That a group of teenagers could offer such an angst-ridden plea as that of Leo Davis's 'Merry Go Round' not only transcends the limitations that came from the band's average age (seventeen, at the time of the album's recording), but also the barriers the stood in front of this group of small-city hopefuls This official reissue was licensed by the Equatics' bandleader, bass player Benjamin Crawford."

"From its humble beginnings in 2001 as a Civil War themed album, through multiple incarnations ('Feast Of Manias,' 'Tiger Love' and more), Animal Lover took shape in a way no other Residents album had before. Evolving and morphing across multiple distinct phases, with contributions from collaborators as well as The Residents themselves, the album saw the group explore new sonic territory, complex arrangements and a contemporary sound whilst retaining their own unmistakable aesthetic. This 'Evolution Edition' provides over forty unreleased tracks showcasing the 2001-2004 development of the album, including a detour into abandoned songs such as 'Vanishing Genitalia' and 'Starvation Demon,' as well as contemporary outtakes and the 'Imaginary Jack' suite. Featuring notes from Brian Poole and Carla Fabrizio, and the usual insightful essay from Jim Knipfel (based on the recollections of The Cryptic Corporation's Homer Flynn), this set explores a level of access and detail rarely available to fans of any particular album. A must-hear for Residents fans and collectors, including those not already familiar with Animal Lover, and an essential part of the ongoing pREServed series."

"Tha God Fahim's timeless creative instincts have been evident from the moment his art began to circulate. Emerging unexpectedly from the epicenter of trap music, the Atlanta emcee quickly distinguished himself with sharp wordplay and atmospheric production that couldn't be further from the monotonous sounds echoing around him. With just a few projects to his name, Tha God Fahim was still a hungry young talent on the rise when he unleashed Tha Dark Shogunn Saga in late 2016. Among his most memorable early releases, the album kicked off an unprecedented creative explosion, as Fahim cemented his status with more than 50 projects released over the next two years. Followed by an equally compelling sequel released just a few months later, the overall saga became an important moment in Tha God Fahim's rise, evoking shadowy street corners and smoke-filled hallways. Nearly a decade later, Fahim is expanding this series into a full trilogy with Tha Dark Shogunn Saga, Vol. 3. Reviving the unmistakable vibe of the original projects, the new collection finds this hero back in warrior mode, sharpening his lyrical blade over rich production from Cookin Soul, Nicholas Craven, Fortes, and Fahim himself."

Optimo Music presents Natural Magic's first album in 10 years. Natural Magic's II is a west coast road trip soundtrack for the fading summer. Taking inspiration from the majesty and myths of their home in the Pacific Northwest, the seven-track album is culled from the late night, dimly lit, live sessions of Mike McKinnon on keys/drums and Matthew Quiet on bass. Overdubs of guitar, synths and percussion followed. All this from the same space they throw their legendary limited-edition parties -- all-night free experimentation celebrations in their own right. The album art work is handmade flower pigments, opium poppy pollen ink and wood-scrap charcoal by their friend and collaborator Pith Cocomici. Roll the widows down, tilt the seat back and turn it up. Gas, grass or black mass -- there's magic in the hills. Includes insert.

Spanning 55 minutes, the ten tracks draw deeply from Norway's stunning natural environment reflecting the rugged terrain and long winters of Erik's homeland. Articulating the quiet of winter, a period Erik regards as his most creative, the slower rhythms and introspective stillness bring solitude and emotional depth to these compositions. Guitars and synthesizers' drifting sweeping vistas and imaginative narratives of ethereal and vivid musical storytelling unfold to reveal a sparkling snowy sanctuary. Snow Tides encapsulates the serene beauty of nature's whispered moments. Limited edition of 500. CD in 4-panel digipak."

Raster Media 30 years anniversary edition repress. 180gram vinyl. "ich bin meine maschine" is a spiritual track. "ich bin meine maschine" is a musical track. "ich bin meine maschine" is a scientific track. To underline this tryptic statement and to demonstrate the diversity of one of Atom TM's compositions that appeared on his 2013 HD album, Raster now re-releases the long sold-out vinyl EP featuring remixes by Boys Noize, Function and Atom TM himself. "ich bin meine maschine," in an elaborate manner, illustrates Uwe Schmidt's main musical concern -- the exploration of electronics in pop music. Inspired by a statement of the cybernetician Heinz Von Foerster, Atom TM generated a message that is playing around with a widely-cited Kraftwerk quotation, turning "ich bin eine maschine" into "ich bin meine maschine" ("I am my machine"). Besides the album version of "ich bin meine maschine," the EP features some dominantly techno influenced versions that perfectly connect the pop attitude of HD with dancefloor functionality. The Boys Noize remix shows off Alexander Ridha's deft skills for translating Atom TM's futuristic pop into his own rough and driving electronic language. On the other hand, Atom TM's "Linear Remix" breaks down the original structure of the song and turns it into a reduced and much straighter, forward looking composition. Function -- one of techno's true underground heroes -- provides a remix that is breathing the air of solid and hypnotic club music, in which just the essential elements are streamlined and condensed into perfection. All three remixers adapt the track to their particular universe. By doing so, they prepare the 12" vinyl for its final destination -- the club.

A note from Carlos Giffoni: "I initially recorded all tracks in California between 2024 and 2025. The tracks were then sent to various locations around the world to each collaborator for completion, before returning to me in California for final touches. They were subsequently sent to Japan for mixing. Then, back to California, and then to Australia, where the final designs for the artwork were created. The final version was then multiplied and spread all over the world until it reached your ears, their intended target. The Pendulum swings. And the world keeps rotating endlessly." Mixed and mastered by Jim O'Rourke. Featuring Greg Kelley, Mabe Fratti, Zola Jesus, Ben Chasny, Lea Bertucci, and Iggor Cavalera.

"The session was organized in Bologna by Red Records, who took advantage of the Mingus Dynasty's Italian tour to ensure the saxophonist a rhythm section of great experience and undisputed stature. With Bob Neloms on piano, Cameron Brown on double bass and Dannie Richmond on drums, Larry Nocella immediately established an understanding and always showed himself available to receive the stimuli he received from his colleagues. This is the case of Everything Happens To Me, which opens the second side of the LP, in which after the exposition of the theme by the saxophone, elegant and full of small variations and broken or 'stolen' notes, Neloms proposes a key reading in some way alternative to the mainstream one proposed by Nocella. The album opens with 'Rose,' a funky piece that amazed the writer of the original liner notes, perhaps unaware of the album Nocella had made in 1977 in which the musician immersed himself almost completely in funky. 'Central Park West' first appeared in 1964's 'Coltrane Sound,' an album that had been recorded during the 'My Favorite Things' sessions. Nocella's version is very respectful of the original and maintains its mournful nocturnal atmosphere. The overall interpretation of the ballad is absolutely masterful. It is Neloms who continues Nocella's discourse. The pianist does not miss the opportunity to give his intervention a touch of originality by creating rhythmic figures that animate the piece without distorting it. 'Along Came Betty' was composed by Benny Golson in 1958 and is inspired by the girl the author was dating at the time. Nocella and Neloms are the absolute protagonists of the piece and with their solos they show their inexhaustible creativity and originality in the choice of solutions. The next 'Nakatini Serenade,' otherwise known as the 'Nakatini Suite,' is a composition by Cal Massey. 'The Days of Wine and Roses,' which closes the album, belonged to the soundtrack of the homonymous movie from 1962."

"In 1983, in Canada, Vasconcelos came into contact with a group of young musicians from Québec City, who combined their association with the avant-garde with a visceral love for Africa and the suggestions of the Far East. Denis Hébert, the leader of the group, was a pianist and organist who frequented jazz but who had also been exposed to the influence of the American minimalist current. The saxophonist, flautist and bass clarinetist Maurice Bouchard, who would become Québec's most famous jazz musician, enriched his jazz with hypnotic elements drawn from African music and Eastern spirituality. Pierre Tanguay, for his part, had an eclectic personality and his interests ranged from avant-garde to ancient music up to stage music for theater and ballet. In 1983, the four musicians, under the guidance of Hébert, gave life to the 'Mara' project and took advantage of Naná Vasconcelos' availability to take part in it. The entire album encompasses the musicians' various experiences and is pervaded by an ancestral sense of spirituality and mystery, immersed in an ocean of rhythm with one shore in Brazil and the other in Africa. As often happens in projects based on improvisation, 'Mara' was a unique and unrepeatable episode born from the positive interaction of five musicians who, before resuming their respective paths, left us a tangible sign of their creative streak."

LP version. 180gram black vinyl. "In 1983, in Canada, Vasconcelos came into contact with a group of young musicians from Québec City, who combined their association with the avant-garde with a visceral love for Africa and the suggestions of the Far East. Denis Hébert, the leader of the group, was a pianist and organist who frequented jazz but who had also been exposed to the influence of the American minimalist current. The saxophonist, flautist and bass clarinetist Maurice Bouchard, who would become Québec's most famous jazz musician, enriched his jazz with hypnotic elements drawn from African music and Eastern spirituality.

Behind this project stands pdqb -- an anonymous force known for cognitive abductions and creative drain. He doesn't collaborate; he kidnaps, moves on, and leaves people behind. This time, the subject was taken from a Munich beer garden and relocated to Hong Kong, where he now works as a janitor and unknowingly produces quiet, atmospheric music. How Synaptic Cliffs came to release these tracks is irrelevant -- the label lost control long ago. pdqb took that too. The release features 21 tracks -- each one unmistakably beautiful, quietly confident, and effortlessly distinct. Not a weak moment, not a filler in sight. Mastered by the infamous Tim Xavier at Manmade Mastering, Berlin. Cover with an artwork by blue-chip artist Martin Eder.

"Animalisms was the third studio album and stands as landmark album that epitomizes The Animals' raw, electric energy during a transformative period in music history. As one of the defining records of British R&B, it encapsulates the band's powerful essence just before the original lineup disbanded. Eric Burdon's formidable vocal prowess combined with the band's strong blues and soul influences showcases their departure from the more commercial sound of contemporaneous British pop bands. The album is a gritty collection of both popular blues standards and lesser-known tracks, demonstrating The Animals' unique blend of R&B and blues-infused rock."

"Parminter is one of the most exciting new bands to emerge in recent months on the Barcelona scene, a scene that is both unsettling and full of discoveries. Adventurous, free, daring, provocative. Naná Rovira and Carlos Ródenas were part of Trialogue, a trio with which they won various awards and recognitions. It was the addition of keyboards that gave them their current sound with Naná as the figurehead. Parminter's sound is close to early free jazz. A melodic and rhythmic free jazz without much stridency, with a taste for lively melodies that give way to instrumental virtuosity. The songs reach moments of great intensity. It is then that they give way to the most diverse influences and preferences of each of the band members. The electric sound of the keyboard evokes passages of progressive jazz-rock, a contained noise with the distortion of Carlos Ródenas' bass pedals. Of the songs included on the album, only 'Ininteligibilidad', written with Carlos Ródenas, breaks Naná's total authorship. There are two dedications to two musicians. 'Mr. P.S.' refers to the initials of flutist Pablo Selnik and is based on an original idea of his, while 'Nonchalance' is a tribute to his friend and instrumental reference, American saxophonist Paul Stocker, a pioneer of jazz/free jazz in Spain, from the early 1970s. 'Ethiomess,' with its echoes of Ethiopian jazz could mark a different direction, but it does not, and the same is true of 'Hiperbórea', a ballad inspired by South African jazz that gives the album its title. The coherence of the sound is evident in their live performances, perhaps because everything is similar in its differences and the overall sound prevails, strongly marked by the bass clarinet-keyboard tandem. The album is composed of original songs, although when they occasionally include a cover version in their live performances, it fits in with the group's sound. Thus, an Aylerian 'Ghosts', free and lively, is integrated without any problem."

Notti Senza Fine is the second album by the post-avant-garde theater company Magazzini Criminali, released in 1983 on the independent label Riviera Records and now reissued for the first time by Soave Records in a very limited edition of 200 copies. This work breaks away from linearity and meaning, creating a dizzying collision of voices and sounds that blend theater, punk, and experimental elements. Through montage and collage techniques inspired by the visual arts and poets such as Antonin Artaud, the album explores a dense and layered soundscape. Composed by Federico Tiezzi, Sandro Lombardi, and Marion d'Amburgo, Notti Senza Fine uses sounds and fragments to create an experience that transcends conventional music. The song titles evoke geographical spaces without clear definition, while the sound textures, which include tribal percussion and synthesizers, intertwine without resolution. The album is a "meaningful object," a musical vehicle that challenges conventions and rejects institutional distribution channels, remaining a rarity appreciated by collectors for over forty years. The cover, designed by Mario Schifano, adds another layer of meaning to the work, making it a timeless sonic and visual experience.

Panoramica Degli Abissi is a plunge into the heart of a hallucination, sinking and resurfacing to become a wild, sprawling three-dimensional project on the border between audio, video, literature and illustration. It is the second album by To Die On Ice, with sounds and influences that retrieve and delve deeper into the nebulous Lynch Core of the first record, adding -- to the disturbed Black-Lodge-style sensuality, the minimalist noir jazz at ten thousand atmospheres, the soul-blues dilations and sudden vocal lacerations -- a few further acts of madness, such as an a cappella screamo-gospel moment, a touch of Fred Bongusto in a doom key, and two features with Francesca Bono and Vespertina.

Tartelet presents a display of warm-hearted tech funk from Italian house maestro Paffetti. Having made his name with a strong run of sample-rooted deep house as Black Loops, Riccardo Paffetti unveils a new alias to explore a more club-focused, trippy sound. Even with the shift in sonic focus, Paffetti maintains a razor-sharp instinct for low-down grooving deep house dynamics that course through every inch of the Utopia EP. Across five cuts, Utopia unfolds with a strong sense of momentum and melodic intent, marking a confident new phase in Paffetti's ongoing exploration of deep, hypnotic club sounds.

It is in the inspiring calm of his brand-new studio in Bagnolet that Etienne Jaumet found the material for Du cortex à l'iris, his new album recorded for his label Versatile Records. Du cortex à l'iris continues the delicate balance that defines Jaumet's signature: a constant tension between hypnotic abstraction and an almost animal groove. "To reduce the distance between my cortex and my senses, in order to compose mental images with sounds," he says. This intention runs through the entire album: a desire to make people dance, yes, but with echoes of EBM, bursts of cinematic landscapes, and that singular way of slowly inducing trance rather than declaring it. Saxophone, synths, analog drum machines: the arsenal remains familiar, but the approach is even more direct. Playing fast, composing in the moment, letting the hand run before the mind corrects. Capturing something primal, spontaneous, almost raw -- as if the sound were really passing, this time, directly from the cortex to the iris.

Neue Grafik has steadily built a strong reputation in recent years with releases on esteemed labels such as Rhythm Section, 22a, CoOp Presents, and Wolf Music. His sound is a distinctive fusion of jazz, house, and hip hop, infused with his African heritage, Parisian background, and a deep appreciation for London genres like broken beat and grime. Neue Grafik first made a lasting impression on the community at Total Refreshment Centre (TRC) -- the heart of London's thriving jazz scene -- during a spontaneous after-hours jam. Since then, there has been collaborations with notable artists including Nubya Garcia, Emma-Jean Thackray, Brother Portrait, Lord Apex, and Allysha Joy. The new album, Rachael, stands as Neue Grafik's most ambitious project to date. Developed over 2025, the album explores themes inspired by the character of Rachael from the movie Blade Runner, representing the journey of love in all means, intimate, raw, tough, organic and honest offering a rich, emotional journey that balances lightness with depth -- an introspective dive into the artist's evolving musical identity.

The long-overdue revival of Bim Sherman's catalog begins here. These essential recordings are widely available again for the first time in decades, opening a new chapter in the appreciation of one of Jamaica's most distinctive voices and representing a major moment for reggae and dub aficionados around the world. This reissue series not only preserves his legacy but also offers listeners the chance to experience the depth and timeless resonance of Sherman's work in its full glory. Bim Sherman -- born Jarret Lloyd Vincent, in Westmoreland, Jamaica -- holds a unique place in reggae history. Emerging in the mid-'70s, his ethereal, haunting vocal style quickly set him apart from his contemporaries. He was soon collaborating with the top producers and musicians of the era, including Adrian Sherwood and the On-U Sound collective, bridging the gap between roots reggae and experimental dub and laying the groundwork for the fusion of Jamaican sounds with the vibrant underground scene in the UK. His career, from Kingston to London to Mumbai, was marked by an artistic daring and spiritual intensity that has earned him enduring respect across generations. The centerpiece of this reissue campaign is Ghetto Dub from 1988, a record that distills Sherman's artistry into its most potent form. Originally released in a limited number, the album embodies the stark yet soulful beauty of dub production. With its reverb-drenched drums, cavernous basslines, and echo-laden atmospherics, Ghetto Dub transforms Sherman's various tracks into spectral presences that drift in and out of the mix. The arrangement and production -- minimal yet profoundly textured -- captures both the raw urgency of Jamaican street culture and the forward-looking experimentation of the UK dub scene. Each track unfolds like a meditation, balancing grit with grace, density with space. Ghetto Dub is more than an album; it is an immersive soundscape that reaffirms Bim Sherman as one of reggae's most otherworldly and visionary figures.

Saxophonist and producer Ben Vince presents his sixth album, Street Druid, the first in almost six years via AD 93. Street Druid merges acoustic, manipulated, and electronic sound. It has saxophone, synth, voice, guitars and drum machine, and features drum kit from Moses Boyd. It features artwork by Byzantia Harlow. It is at once tender, psychedelic and fierce. It is not interested in genre or category, and lasts just under 45 minutes. Ben Vince is a striking composer and performer, known for his live improvised saxophone explorations and inventive techniques in creating new rhythms, textures and moods. Through live improvisation, sonic manipulation, reprocessing and looping, his spontaneous yet intuitive approach and collaborative nature surpasses the seeming limitations of his primary instrument. His energetic and immersive solo shows encapsulate an artist at the height of their powers and is now a prominent player among a new breed of experimental artists, as well as having performed with improv ritual EP/64, Charles Hayward, Coby Sey, Valentina Magaletti, and as part of experimental post-punk band Housewives. Vince has also notable studio collaborations with electronic producer Joy Orbison, Oscar-nominated experimental pop artist/composer Mica Levi, and many others spread across the musical spectrum including El-B, Astrid Sonne, Sugai Ken, Louis Carnell, Mark Sanders, Alpha Maid, Gigi Masin, Rat Heart, Cucina Povera, and Moin.

We Release Jazz presents this limited vinyl edition of Ill Considered's transcendent live album Live in Jura, an expansive document of the trio's 2023 performance at Spiegelberg Festival -- now available as a double LP with a bonus D-side, housed in a heavyweight sleeve with obi and an original artwork by Vincent de Boer. Captured in the heights of Saignelégier, Switzerland, in the middle of a pasture overlooking the Jura mountains, Live in Jura bottles the singular Ill Considered live experience at its most open, responsive, and elemental. From Idris Rahman (sax, flute), Liran Donin (bass), and Emre Ramazanoglu (drums), this is deep free improv built from intuition and heart -- an ever-evolving conversation of groove, texture, and spirit. Whispered motifs bloom into towering climaxes; earthy bass surges meet shimmering cymbal work; woodwind lines move from meditative invocation to ecstatic release. It is music shaped by the audience, the environment, and the moment: alive, unrepeatable, and deeply organic. The bonus D-side extends the album's world with a unique ambient composition made from field-recorded organic sounds of the forest surrounding the concert area. Re-composed into a drifting, luminous piece, it features The Voices of the Alpenglow, blurring the boundary between performance and landscape, human gesture and elemental presence. Ill Considered -- known for forging improvised music around simple themes or spontaneously created structures -- here reach a new level of sensitivity and power.

Wewantsounds presents the first vinyl reissue of Disappointment-Hateruma, the 1976 ALM Records release by percussionist Toshi Tsuchitori and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The album is notable as Sakamoto's first recording issued under his own name and represents one of the few occasions he explored fully improvised music during the 1970s. It provides a vital document for understanding Sakamoto's early development as a composer and performer, capturing a period when he was experimenting with ambient soundscapes and textured improvisation. This edition features original artwork, audio remastered by Heba Kadry and new liner notes by Andy Beta. Ryuichi Sakamoto is widely recognized as one of the most important artists of his generation. At the time of Disappointment-Hateruma, he was still a student at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music and active in Shinjuku's experimental music circles. He was busy contributing to Transonic Magazine, performing with the multimedia group Gakushudan, and working with musicians pushing the boundaries of jazz, free improvisation, and contemporary composition. On his side, revered Japanese percussionist Toshi Tsuchitori, who had recently returned from New York, brought influences from Milford Graves' approach to drumming, including African rhythms, ritualized performance, and a holistic approach that combined music, movement, and philosophy. Sakamoto and Tsuchitori had previously played together in Gakushudan, but neither considered those early encounters definitive. This recording captures one of the rare moments when Sakamoto's exploratory piano work met Tsuchitori's distinct rhythmic language in a studio setting. The album, originally released in 1976 on producer Yukio Kojima's highly influential ALM Records imprint, is structured across four tracks, with the first, "綾 (Aya)," filling the entirety of Side 1 on the LP, while Side 2 contains three shorter pieces, each exploring different combinations of instruments and sound sources. The recordings employ a wide array of textures, from prepared piano, bells, marimba, and gongs to EMS synthesizer and voice. Together, the tracks create hypnotic, ethereal soundscapes and rich sonic textures that highlight the interplay between Sakamoto's experimental piano work and Tsuchitori's percussive expertise. Remastered by renowned sound engineer Heba Kadry, this new edition highlights the detail, range, and clarity of the original album, making the ultra-rare Disappointment-Hateruma available worldwide for the first time. It stands as a key early document of Sakamoto's work and situates the recordings within the broader context of his formative years and Tokyo's mid-1970s cutting-edge music scene.

Wewantsounds continues its Yoshiko Sai reissue program with the release of Mikkou, the Japanese singer-songwriter's second album released in 1976 on Black Records. The album, produced by ace arranger Isamu Haruna, keeps the same formula as Mangekyou (WWSCD 096CD/ WWSLP 096LP, 2025) with Yoshiko Sai's beautiful songs and dreamy vocals over cool funky arrangements, this time featuring legendary guitarist Masayoshi Takanaka. This is the first time Mikkou is widely available outside of Japan, with remastered audio, original artwork and a four-page insert including new liner notes by Hashim Kotaro Bharoocha who interviewed Yoshiko Sai for this special occasion. Yoshiko Sai holds a singular place in Japanese music history. Since her 1975 debut Mangekyou, the Japanese singer-songwriter has captivated listeners with her ethereal voice, poetic lyrics, and enigmatic presence, earning a devoted cult following that endures decades later. Mikkou represents a bold broadening of her artistic palette, drawing inspiration from the Silk Road and the rich cultural heritage of her native Nara. Sai's compositions on Mikkou explore themes of femininity, freedom, and the passage of generations. Tracks such as "Kaasama no Uta" ("Mother's Song") and "Tenshi no Youni" ("Like an Angel") blend blues, jazz, and folk sensibilities with evocative instrumentation including tabla, sitar, and dulcimer, reflecting the album's Silk Road influences. The title track, "Mikkou" ("Secret Passage"), captures the sense of a hidden journey -- both literal and imaginative -- mirroring the adventurous spirit threaded throughout the record. Sai also created the album's artwork, inspired by her reflections on historical Persian travelers and the interconnected flow of cultures along the Silk Road. As Sai remarked in conversation with Hashim Kotaro Bharoocha about the title track, "That idea of sneaking off somewhere felt exactly right for the mood at the time -- it was like approaching everything in life as if you were stowing away along every path." This Wewantsounds release marks the first time Mikkou is available outside Japan, offering a rare glimpse into the fragile, dreamlike universe of Yoshiko Sai.

Wewantsounds reissues Music By Lee Mason, the cult classic from the Chappell Recorded Music Library, originally released in the UK in 1971. Credited to Lee Mason & His Orchestra, the album is in fact the work of renowned British composer and arranger Pete Moore -- best known for producing the iconic "Asteroid" theme in 1968 for the Pearl & Dean cinema advertising company. One of the funkiest library albums of its era, blending cinematic tension, funky grooves, and jazzy undertones, Music By Lee Mason features the track "Shady Blues," famously sampled by Madlib. Newly remastered and featuring liner notes by Kevin Le Gendre, this long-overdue reissue brings a lost classic back to vinyl for the first time since 1971. Recorded at the dawn of the prolific '70s UK library music boom, Music By Lee Mason was part of the successful Chappell Recorded Music series -- produced for television, film, and advertising professionals. Working under the "Lee Mason" alias, Pete Moore used the format to explore a wide palette of sounds: funky rhythm sections, fat horns, bumping bass lines, and catchy melodies that reveal both sophistication and swing. Across its eleven tracks, the album moves seamlessly between funky grooves, jazzy arrangements, and cinematic moods. "Shady Blues" in particular has become a cult favorite among crate-diggers, its slow-burning groove later sampled by Madlib for the Lootpack track "Answers" featuring Quasimoto, giving the piece new life in the spheres of hip-hop and digging culture. A prolific composer and orchestrator for television, radio, and film, Pete Moore (1924-2013) worked with the likes of Peggy Lee, Fred Astaire, and Connie Francis, bridging the worlds of orchestral scoring and modern jazz-pop arrangement. Alongside his celebrated commercial work, his contributions to the Chappell Music catalogue exemplify the depth and craft of British library composition during the 1960s and '70s. This reissue of Music By Lee Mason has been newly remastered and features exclusive liner notes by Kevin Le Gendre, who provides fresh insight into Moore's enduring influence of his music. With its sophisticated arrangements, catchy grooves, and unmistakable sense of mood, Music By Lee Mason stands as one of the defining statements of the British library era which Wewantsounds is delighted to reissue for the first time since 1971.

Delayed further... until early 2026.."Pioneering media artist and concrete poet Ferdinand Kriwet's 1971 cult artist's book in a facsimile edition. A monumental, three-volume encyclopedia of alphabetically organized images, Ferdinand Kriwet: Stars was first published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in 1971. In the 1960s, German author and media artist Ferdinand Kriwet (1942-2018), inspired by concrete poetry and its interest in the visual quality of linguistic signs, began to approach the literary medium of the book in a new way. Imagining new ways of reading that resisted linearity, Kriwet experimented with alternatives, encouraging a rapid back-and-forth between the pages of the book and the texts and images on them. In Stars, he treats images like words and arranges them in alphabetical order in an epic encyclopedia format. For years, Stars has only been available, at considerable cost, in antiquarian book catalogs. This new facsimile edition of Ferdinand Kriwet: Stars brings Kriwet's pioneering vision and his seminal book back into print." 416 pages. 2.5 pounds. 5.50(w) x 8.75(h).

Representing a more analog sound than before, Itken Jos Mua Huvittaa was recorded in Gothenburg in the autumn of 2025. The album was produced by Gustav Ejstes, known as the leader of the band Dungen, and engineered by Mattias Glavå, renowned for producing Håkan Hellström's albums. Counting among the most popular bands in Finland, Maustetytöt also enjoy international cult fame and have toured extensively across Europe, performing headline shows in England, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Greece, the Czech Republic, Poland, and throughout Scandinavia.
"'Maustetytöt' translates as: 'Spice Girls.' However, the two sisters Anna Karjalainen and Kaisa Karjalainen don't sing about girl power, but about being overwhelmed. Their music has nothing to do with calm, but rather with therapy in the form of an idiosyncratic combination of catchy melodies, hyper-realistic lyrics and laconic performances." -- About Pop

Laurel Halo returns with an album of original soundtrack music, composed for the film Midnight Zone by visual artist Julian Charrière. Following the path of a drifting Fresnel lighthouse lens as it descends through the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone -- a remote abyssal plain in the Pacific Ocean, rich in rare metals and increasingly targeted for deep-sea mining -- the film traces a descent into one of Earth's last untouched ecosystems. Charrière's film reveals the deep not as void, but as a luminous biome teeming with fragile life: bioluminescent creatures, swirling schools of fish, and elusive predators. The suspended lens becomes an abyssal campfire, attracting species caught in the tides of uncertainty, their futures hanging in the balance. Echoing this tension, Halo's compositions evoke a sensory freefall, where gravity falters and light and sound flicker in uncertain rhythms. Midnight Zone is a sonic drift through the space between what we seek to extract, fail to understand, and must protect. Halo's score evokes the life that exists beyond a physical airbound capacity. The material features long, subtle passages of electro-acoustic ambient, drone and sound design, slowly flowing and unfolding with rich detail. The music, composed largely on a Montage 8 synthesizer and Yamaha TransAcoustic piano at the Yamaha studios in New York City, possesses an uncanny quality: that of synthetic waveforms being amplified and sung through the stringboard of the physical body of the TransAcoustic piano. Combined with stacks of violin and viol da gamba, the music on Midnight Zone possesses trace elements of a human hand in an otherwise sunken landscape. Patient, submerged, and alive. The album will be the third on Halo's imprint, Awe. The film is central to Charrière's current solo exhibition Midnight Zone. The exhibition engages with underwater ecologies, exploring the complexity of water as an elemental medium affected by anthropogenic degradation. Reflecting upon its flow and materiality, profundity and politics, its mundane and sacral dimensions, the solo show acts as a kaleidoscope, inviting us to dive deep.

The deservedly hyped Thought Leadership returns with another X ideas: the deck this time chooses the suit of Cups. This new collection is closer to the post-punk tonality of Pentacles, than the breezy Balearic jazz of Swords. Gone are the brushed drum samples and airy synths and in their place are BIG guitars, 808 thumps and a decidedly more prominent use of bass as a melodic device. As the suit of Cups reflects the emotional heart of the Tarot, presented within are a further ten pieces, this time displaying the full range and fervor of Thought Leadership. Originally out on cassette only, Be With presents the first ever vinyl issue. It's a hideously limited pressing of 300 for the world, so don't sleep on this. Side A explores the emotional levels of consciousness; angst, joy, love, sorrow, relief, regret -- they are all represented across the first seven tracks, and often within the same piece. Side B again takes the listener on a trip through three long-form semi-improvised pieces. Unadulterated aural nostalgia for hours spent with a PS1 in haze of hash. Beautifully dreamy, undeniably soundtrack-y, and arguably the most concise distillation so far of everything this project stands for; drum machines, guitars, pedals, one-take improvised solos. The first ever vinyl release of IV Of Cups has been carefully remastered by Be With's engineer Simon Francis to ensure it sounds better than ever after its initial tape release. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut at Abbey Road Studios whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry, in Holland. The original tape cover artwork, so crucial to Thought Leadership's striking visual aesthetic, has been rejigged for vinyl issue here at Be With.

Abdou El Omari was born in 1945 in Tafraout, south of Agadir -- a village suspended between the pink granite peaks of the Anti-Atlas and the waves of the Atlantic. A landscape already musical in itself. He grew up in the dry mountain light, surrounded by the rhythms of nature and Berber's culture. Very little is known about the man -- a veil of mystery still surrounds his life, only deepening the fascination. In the 1970s, as Morocco was transforming, Abdou El Omari shaped a sound of his own -- a visionary blend of spiritual jazz, psychedelic funk, Moroccan traditions, and early electronic experimentation. Today, his work is resurfacing, rediscovered by a new generation of listeners in search of lost horizons. This record stands among its rarest and most precious fragments. At twenty-two, he founded his first group, Les Fugitifs, which gained him local fame. Soon after, he released records and cassettes on labels such as Cléopâtre, Hassania, Boussiphone, Hilali, and his own, Al Awtar, while performing on RTM (national radio and television). He also composed for artists like Naima Samih, Laila Ghofran, and Aicha El Waad. In 1976, through the label Gam, he released his only vinyl album, Nuits d'été -- a record that would become cult decades later, reissued in 2017 by Radio Martiko. In the 1980s, his music grew quieter, more secret. He tried to recover his old tapes from the studios he had recorded in, but gradually withdrew from the scene and returned to hairdressing. A pioneer of musical fusion, he opened paths that would remain unexplored for years. He passed away in 2010, never witnessing the rediscovery of his music by diggers, bloggers, and collectors online. One day, his close friend and poet Aziz Essamadi, rescued a cardboard box from the trash -- a box containing Abdou El Omari's personal archives. It was later entrusted to Casablanca based collector Ahmed Khalil, founder of the label Dikraphone. Inside were treasures preserved by chance: demos, rehearsals, private recordings, unseen photographs -- and a stunning, almost forgotten cassette. Here, El Omari sounds bolder than ever, exploring territories where pop, cosmic disco, electric blues, and Moroccan tradition merge without boundaries. Armed with his ARP Odyssey synthesizer, hypnotic grooves, and the celestial layers of his Farfisa, he expanded the dialogue between deep roots and electronic exploration. This album is the continuation of a vision -- a music of the Moroccan future: rooted, but reaching for the unknown. Colorful, magnetic and timeless, here is music for dancing as much as for dreaming.

Ile de Garde isn't just a clever pun paying homage to the blessed German mystic and jack-of-all-trades, Hildegarde Von Bingen. It's the name chosen by three women freshly signed to Born Bad/Carpaccio Cathédrale, who came bearing gifts: six synth-wave tracks based on a drum/keyboard/spoken word line-up. It won't be for everyone, and that's just as well. More of a narrator than a singer, Klara Coudrais performs the lyrics, embodies characters, and puts on a show, in French and in English. Controlled and clinical anger, putting facts in order, whether it's settling scores with some violent bloke or scrutinize a couple on the path to a breakup -- Sylvia Plath meets Diamanda Galás, heckling the audience gently. It sometimes flirts with singing, with reinforcement coming up as backing vocals. Neither John nor Karen Carpenter, Cécile Aurégan layers synths to produce dense, enveloping soundscapes. It's a full starter-main-dessert, but the trio has a strong stomach. Morgane Poulain peacefully taps away at her drums. Track after track, no-frills post-post punk for your ears, with a few surprises. Ile de Garde takes the floor, body-wise. Rage Blossom is a beginning, and you have to be there.

Miracle After Miracle After... is, in contrast to Jeff Clarke's previous solo work Locust (BRD 004LP, 2023), recorded in a single session in a forest, more beautifully embellished, but never overloaded. At its heart, this is folk music. Clarke could be mentioned in the same breath as Connie Converse, Daniel Johnston, and Atlas Sound, though such traditionally excellent songwriting makes comparisons both easy to make and inherently reductive.

Gatefold! Comes with booklet. Black Truffle presents Dalbergia Retusa, an extensive double LP selection of the solo guitar music of Hans Reichel, compiled by Oren Ambarchi. Last heard on Black Truffle as one quarter of the joyously anarchic Bergisch-Brandenburgisches Quartett, Hans Reichel (1949-2011) is one of the great figures of experimental guitar music. Though perhaps lesser known than peers like Derek Bailey, Fred Frith, and Keith Rowe, Reichel's rethinking of the instrument was in some ways the most radical of all. Early on, he dispensed with existing guitars to build a series of his own that explored the use of additional strings and fretboards, moveable pickups, extra bridges, special capos, and other innovations documented in the extensive booklet accompanying this release. Reichel was a long-term resident of Wuppertal, the small Western Germany city that became an unlikely center of European free jazz in the late 1960s, also home to Peter Brötzmann and Peter Kowald. His solo debut Wichlinghauser Blues was an early entry into the FMP discography and began a relationship with the label that stretched into the 1990s; all the solo performances heard here were first released on FMP. Reichel was an important source for the development of Oren Ambarchi's own extended approach to the electric guitar. Appropriately enough, his selection opens with the very first piece by Reichel he ever heard, on a flexidisc included with a 1989 issue of Guitar Player magazine. Though Reichel collaborated with others extensively in many settings and also performed on violin and his other major contribution to instrument invention, the daxophone, his music for solo guitar remains at the core of his oeuvre. Focusing exclusively on solo pieces recorded between 1973 and 1988, the 23 pieces on Dalbergia Retusa showcase the range and consistency of Reichel's work, allowing the listener to see how his performances developed hand-in-hand with his instrumental inventions. Many of the pieces from the 1980s make use of varieties of the "pick behind the bridge guitar," instruments of uncanny harmonic richness primarily designed to be played on the 'wrong' side of the bridge. At times the unexpected behavior of attacks, resonance, and decay can almost seem electronic, conjuring up the technology-assisted work of Henry Kaiser or even Fennesz, but realized solely through Reichel's unorthodox techniques on his invented instruments. Extensively illustrated with photos and Reichel's own plans and drawings of his instruments, Dalbergia Retusa is an essential introduction to the unique world of Hans Reichel.

Yuvi Havkin aka Rejoicer returns with an exceptional collaborative album, California Space Craft. On this aptly titled record, he joins forces with seasoned LA bass polymath Sam Wilkes -- known for his inspired studio work with Sam Gendel and his dynamic live performances alongside Louis Cole and KNOWER -- and drummer Tamir Barzilay, completing the LA-connected trifecta alongside a select handful of key featured guests. The idea for California Space Craft was born out of a series of inspired live sessions in Los Angeles between 2019 and 2022, notably at Listen to Music Outside in the Daylight Under a Tree, where the trio's natural chemistry first began to bloom. The resulting recordings encompass a wide variety of inspired sound stylings, as one would expect from any of these accomplished artists on their own; however, the sum is truly greater than the parts here, with the fluidity of their freeform improvisations over a dedicated three-day recording session feeling remarkably focused as a cohesive whole. Opening track "Traveling Light" sets the LP's tone with equal parts Sly & Robbie-style, space echo -- drenched rhythms and the cozy kosmische, guitar-led feel of early-2000s genre-fluid explorers like Tortoise. The soaring trumpet of Avishai Cohen adorns the Afrobeat-indebted "Lion Water," with Barzilay laying down a proper Allen-esque groove, while "Further (with you)," featuring Nitai Hershkovits on keys, offers a defining look at the titular concept of the album -- with pure Cali feels coalescing effortlessly into sci fi narrative modes and a proper dose of Rejoicer futurism. California Space Craft embodies the power of open, collective intention and musical kinship, offering memorable, uplifting moments and an aural glimpse of hope, warmth, and loving melodious calm in an otherwise quite chaotic time for humanity.

Chris Liebing and Charlotte de Witte present their second-ever collaborative release, Symphonie des Seins (Symphony of Existence). The release, taking in an original alongside a Dub mix from Liebing, follows 2019's Liquid Slow from the pair. A surging acid-beast channeling mid-'90s techno energy, Symphonie des Seins sees de Witte delivering a tweaky, spoken vocal comprising the hallucinogen-fueled diaries of ayahuasca and DMT trip reports that Liebing stumbled upon online. Crisp but heady, old school but utterly contemporary with its delivery, Symphonie des Seins sees two techno artists with very different formative eras converge perfectly with a razor-sharp piece of dancefloor mayhem.

Corbett vs. Dempsey and De Plattenbakkerij collaborate on A Gentle Reminder, the new long-playing vinyl record album by These Things Happen. A transatlantic quartet featuring three Chicagoans and a pianist from Holland, These Things Happen have, with a slight personnel shift (switching bassists from Joshua Abrams to Jason Roebke), remained in existence since for more than a decade. This is the band's second release, following a recording made in 2016 (released by Astral Spirits in 2022), and it continues their dedication to the music of Misha Mengelberg and Thelonious Monk, as well as original material by Hoogland and Jackson. The sound is lean, self-aware, at times humorous, and its generosity suggests the common wellspring of ideas shared by Amsterdam's instant composition scene and the creative music community in the Windy City.

"Forty or so Damaged Bug tunes from the past seven years were orphaned/unfinished, which is pretty rare for me. I just kept having other things going on and life kept getting in the way. And frankly, the songs were all over the place so I didn't see a thread in there, but in light of current events in the world, I feel like it's every artist's calling to construct personal messages cloaked in a moments of escapism. That's what this record is for me -- was something to clear the decks a little bit in my studio and relax my mind and keep the wolf from the door. It's a bit of a joyous/sad record dealing with hope and forgiveness, two things which I hope end up more in my life. It's abstract and poppy, fried and sugary. It exactly how I feel at the moment fried and skewed. Good luck out there and I hope this turns off the torrent for you, for a moment." --John Dwyer

SODS were formed in Copenhagen in 1977 and are considered the first Danish punk band. In autumn 1978 they recorded their first album, Minutes to Go, which became an important part of punk's primal and foundational wave. With the release of their second album, Under en Sort Sol, in 1980, their music became a bit more somber and avantgarde. This release documents the progression of SODS from their initial raw punk era of 1977-1979 to the first signs of their eventual transformation into Sort Sol, one of Denmark's best-known bands. It features rough and spirited live performances of tracks mostly released on their two albums Minutes to Go and Under en Sort Sol, plus one piece from Daggers and Guitars (which was only published three years later in 1983 as the first Sort Sol album), as well as the fantastic "Breathtaking Effect" which weirdly never made it onto a release. Sides A, B and C collect tracks from three Danish live shows from 1979 and 1980 in chronological order. Side D then returns to the very beginnings with an ultra-raw recording of a high-energy rehearsal from around the spring of 1978.

The Outer Edge are excited to working with Art P/Art Programming by finally offering the first full-length work from this Bremen-based electronic group. Originally released only on cassette in 1983, the self-titled album has now been fully restored and remastered, complete with bonus tracks and unreleased mixes unearthed from a rare demo. The LP opens with "Wesen vom anderen Stern" ("Beings from Another Planet"), a downtempo, 808-driven electro synth wave track with German lyrics telling a story of aliens capturing earth, becoming the new "Herren" (lords), while humans are reduced to mere "objects." Art Programming founding member Jens-Markus Wegener notes that this track has always been a favorite during live performances, and it's easy to imagine how the futuristic sounds would have blown people away at the time. On "That's Me," the album welcomes singer Claudia Roebke. Although it's an electronic composition, Roebke adds a rock-infused, almost psychedelic vibe to the song. The lyrics, written by Wegener, depict a person obsessed with their appearance, using irony to critique societal beauty norms, questioning the obsession with perfection and attraction. "Genscher Pull 'N' Push" is an incredible electro/wave/proto-techno track recorded in October 1982 with a political edge. Originally omitted from the album, it was only available on the original demo cassette. The album closes with "Light and Fire," which originally served as the album's opening track. Its quirky, upbeat vibe now makes for a fitting outro. The gear used on this album reads like a dream list for early '80s electronic music production: Roland Jupiter 4, TR 808, TB 303, System 100, SVC 350, Korg Mono/Poly, Moog Prodigy, FRICKE-Sequenzer, Roland CSQ-100 Sequenzer, Coron DS-8, MM 12/2, Sony TC 399, TEAC-244 Portastudio, Ibanez DM 1000, EH-Electric Mistress, EV-Micro. The album is released as a very limited edition of 300 copies on transparent red vinyl, complete with a full picture sleeve and lyrics inlay. This is yet another rediscovered and restored '80s gem on our label that you definitely don't want to miss!

The latest in Field Records' run of essential vinyl pressings revisits Stephen Hitchell's 2009 masterpiece under his Variant alias, The Setting Sun. As part of Echospace and also celebrated for his productions as Intrusion and Soultek, Hitchell is considered a leading light in dub techno, with the versatility in his sound to range from rhythmic, physical pulses to purely tonal, abyssal drone. His work as Variant, which debuted with The Setting Sun, capitalizes on this scope to deliver a compelling ambient-with-teeth set richly deserving of a proper vinyl pressing. The Setting Sun first emerged on Echospace as a download-only release. Hitchell was at pains to map out the tools that went into the sound on the album -- field recordings of storms in Berlin, Germany and train rides in Narita, Japan, outboard synths and samplers. Crucially, he declared no computers were used, and it shows. When The Setting Sun was recorded, in-the-box production was largely dominating electronic music and the technology had yet to replicate the warmth and character of analogue equipment. Hitchell's looming chords come baked with harmonic overtones, surface noise becomes another essential layer and fragments of distortion add to the narrative of these glacial, monumental pieces. The presence of piano keys feels stark in the Variant sound world, but Hitchell ably folds these coded elements into his process bathed in the same curious luminosity that lingers around all his work. Evolving at a painstaking pace, the plaintive humanity in the cascading keys and plucked guitar strings renders one of the most personal expressions in Hitchell's considerable canon -- a unique release that holds its own space comfortably, The Setting Sun is a profound benchmark in a stellar discography.

"Sur Drone's debut LP, T.I.T.S. is a collaboration by renowned graphic artist Raymond Pettibon and avant-garde composer Daniel Adams. Together, they created an unusual musical album full of lowbrow grit and high-concept levity. Raymond supplied the graphics, wrote the lyrics, and performed as lead vocalist. Daniel wrote and produced the music, played guitar, and recorded it to 24-track analog tape. When indie legend Geza X first heard the results, he gasped 'This is dynamite!!' and immediately signed them to Geza X Records. He reeled in his longtime friend Lisa Fancher (head of illustrious Frontier Records) to co-release this high-profile project. Pettibon's Black Flag and Sonic Youth record covers are well known to any record buyer. A self-taught artist born in Tucson, Arizona, Raymond Pettibon emerged in the late 1970s on the California punk-rock scene, designing covers and flyers for SST Records (founded by his brother, Greg Ginn). He began self-publishing his drawings, which adopted the DIY aesthetic of comics, flyers, and fanzines. His name became synonymous with punk art. Today, Pettibon's modern art museum pieces draw from a wide range of sources, including literature, art history, popular culture, religion, politics, and even sports. The other half of Sür Drone is Daniel Adams, a multidisciplinary conceptual artist who composed soundtracks for Roger Corman and others. He's a composer, producer and film director based in Los Angeles, California. Adams' guitar work covers a broad range of sounds, from surf-styled electric guitar and drones to circuit-bent noise. As a songwriter, his music is a whimsical, rollicking party featuring many guest artists."

Experimental musician Greg Stasiw presents debut album of radiant, free-flowing electronics on Guesswork. Music for psychoactive exploration made over a four-year period, incorporating ambient, minimalism, intricate sound design and Japanese environmental music. Greg Stasiw is an experimental musician, visual artist and writer from New England, Northeastern USA. An itinerant polymath, Stasiw has spent time living, working and traveling in New York, Tokyo, Toronto, Paris, Boston, and Bratislava. As well as studying anthropology, animation and illustration, Stasiw has always had a close connection with music. With his debut album Guesswork, the aural and visual inspirations that underpin Stasiw's creative life intersect, in a pure, radiant soundworld of space, depth and immaculate clarity. Futuristic, pellucid soundscapes incorporating ambient, minimalism, intricate sound design, and Japanese environmental music are deftly arranged with evanescent chimes, serene tone float, suspended organ notes and curious sci-fi resonances. Like stepping into some space age meditation garden, if soundtracked by the likes of Hiroshi Yoshimura, Harold Budd, Norman McLaren, and Pauline Anna Strom, the thirteen tracks of Guesswork create an exceptional listening experience of wide-eyed wonder, sleek tranquility, gentle melancholy, and singular discovery. Initially inspired by a proposed collaboration with the visual artist Philippe Shewchenko, Stasiw was nevertheless compelled by Shewchenko's visuals. He continued dabbling with the sound pieces he had created for the shelved project, ultimately arriving at an unprecedented culmination. Opening with sonorous pulses of drone on "Signature," the album proceeds through the idyllic electronica of "Field" -- music for interplanetary flotation tanks -- and into the gorgeous sotto voce piano of "Plant." "Humidity" evokes verdant off-world wildlife with resonant percussive echoes and abundant bird song, while "Boutique" combines crystalline scales and enveloping ambient vapors. Like entering different zones in a strange new world, these tracks all seem to summon distinct environments; a slow-moving scene of underwater calm, a surreal wilderness, a fantastical garden, a playground, a sacred space. For Stasiw, Guesswork is the speculative outcome of his interest in how sound and space interrelate, as well as the result of channeling his inspirations. It represents a miraculously engaging, idiosyncratic soundworld from an accomplished (non-)musician, content to do guesswork; to see where it might lead and what wonders it might open up.

With Figures of Glass (Piano Etudes - Edits), Vanessa Wagner offers a new listening perspective on Philip Glass's Piano Études, shaping a curated selection of edited versions drawn from her acclaimed recording of the complete cycle. These edits do not alter the substance of the works; rather, they refine their temporal focus, revealing their emotional force with renewed clarity. Conceived in parallel with Figures of Glass, a hybrid project developed with visual arts collective Scale, the release extends a dialogue between piano and light, sound and space. Between piano and light, Vanessa Wagner interprets Glass's Études at the heart of a scenographic installation, exploring the visual imagination embedded in the composer's music. Minimal structures become spatial gestures; repetition opens onto perception, color, and resonance. Taken together, these edits form a coherent arc through Glass's language: from tension and propulsion to suspension and introspection, from rhythmic urgency to contemplative stillness. Wagner's approach is marked by precision, restraint, and a deep attention to resonance, allowing each piece to unfold with an assumed expressive sobriety. Bridging modern classical piano, minimalist writing, and spatial listening formats, Figures of Glass (Piano Etudes - Edits) speaks equally to traditional classical audiences and new listeners discovering Philip Glass through curated, editorial-driven experiences.

Daniele Baldelli and Jolly Mare come together for a record that feels less like a collaboration and more like a shared state of mind. Flusso Uno moves through Afro-cosmic kraut-inflected psychedelia and cinematic electronics with a natural, unforced flow, where rhythm, texture and narrative all pull in the same direction. Rather than referencing the past, the EP treats it as a living language. The longform, ritualistic percussion of early cosmic dance culture meets the hypnotic motorik pulse of krautrock and the more structured, sample-driven tribalism that followed in later decades. What ties it all together is a deep sense of atmosphere and intention: music that feels physical, emotional and quietly transportive. "Dhol Parade" opens the journey like a slow-burning procession, drums circling and expanding as if guiding the listener into another space. With "Icari" the perspective lifts, melodic lines drifting and tilting, constantly searching for balance between gravity and flight. "Huldufolk" pulls everything back into a shadowy, nocturnal zone, where textures feel half-real, half-imagined. Finally, "Viaggio Tascabile" loses the record in a quietly reflective way, a compact voyage that sums up the EP's philosophy: small in scale, deep in meaning. Flusso Uno is not about nostalgia or revivalism. It is about taking the spirit of cosmic culture and letting it breathe in the present, where storytelling, dancefloor intuition and sonic exploration still meet. A record made for open ears, open minds and long nights.

"Demon Fuzz was an afro-rock group of which its members had all immigrated to Britain from Commonwealth countries. Released in 1970 as the band's only album, the extraordinary Afreaka!, demonstrates their excellence in playing psychedelic soul, dub-heavy funk, progressive rock, afro-jazz and black acid rock. Demon Fuzz these days are amongst the most bootlegged and sampled bands from the early '70s British underground. It was a Billboard '4-STAR' selection in June 1971. The band's name means 'devil's children or bad policemen.' They originally played soul, but the music they heard during a trip to Morocco lead to a change in their style to what has been described as a blend of funk, rock, jazz, and African music. Afreaka! is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on translucent purple colored vinyl."

"Philip Glass is widely regarded as one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century. His work has been dubbed 'minimal music.' Glass himself prefers to describe himself as a composer of 'music with repetitive structures.' Glassworks is the most pleasant craftwork ever from the great minimalist exploiter. Six warm pieces in a successful attempt to create a more pop-oriented work. The Philip Glass Ensemble performs with an amiably soft-edged minimalist sound, in an almost new-agey vein. Glass anticipated resistance toward the funding of his more expensive projects, so he created a more accessible, and marketable recording. And with success. More then 200K albums were sold in five years. The tracks 'Rubric' and 'Facades' both appeared in the 2008 documentary about Philippe Petit, Man on Wire. 'Floe' was featured on the soundtrack of the 1989 Italian horror film The Church. 'Opening' was featured in the American remake of the movie Breathless. Glassworks is another Music On Vinyl Classical release by this legendary composer."

Rikk Agnew's All by Myself is one of those records that feels like a secret you're lucky to stumble upon -- a raw, weird, totally personal snapshot of a restless artist at a pivotal moment. Originally released in 1982 on Frontier Records, the album stands apart from most of what was coming out of Southern California at the time, even though it was born right in the middle of the exploding hardcore punk scene. By 1982, Rikk Agnew was already a big deal underground. As the guitarist for Adolescents, he helped shape the sound of Orange County hardcore with sharp riffs, surf-inflected melodies, and a sense of urgency that became hugely influential. He also played in bands like D.I. and later Christian Death, moving fluidly between hardcore punk, post-punk, and darker, more experimental territory. Agnew wasn't just a fast, aggressive guitarist -- he was a songwriter with range, curiosity, and a strong DIY instinct. All by Myself lives up to its title in the most literal way. Agnew recorded the album largely on his own, playing all the instruments and handling vocals himself. Instead of delivering another straight-up hardcore record, he went inward. The result is a lo-fi, home-recorded collection of songs that blend punk energy with new wave, post-punk, psychedelic touches, and even moments of pop sensitivity. It's rough around the edges, but that's exactly the point -- the album feels intimate, unfiltered, and honest. In the early '80s, Southern California punk was loud, fast, and often confrontational. Bands were pushing against the mainstream and even against each other, racing toward more extreme sounds. While All by Myself shares that DIY spirit, it doesn't fully play by hardcore rules. The tempos shift, the moods wander, and the songs feel more like personal experiments than scene anthems. That made the record a bit of an outlier at the time -- but also what gives it lasting appeal. Frontier Records was the perfect home for a release like this. The label was known for supporting artists who didn't quite fit into neat categories, and All by Myself captured that ethos perfectly. Today, All by Myself is often seen as a cult classic. For fans of early punk, post-punk, or anyone interested in the roots of DIY recording culture, this album is essential listening.

Monterrey musician Hernando Rocha managed to record his debut LP in 1970 after spending time living in the United States, where he absorbed the latest waves of psychedelic rock. Reinventing himself as Ernan Roch, La Onda Pesada was finally released a year later, credited to Ernan Roch with Las Voces Frescas. Three elements really stood out on the record: Ernan's strong, expressive vocals; the guitars, ranging from powerful fuzz driven riffs to calm, reflective passages close to the folk sound of Simon & Garfunkel; and the high poetic level of the lyrics. The album included songs written during his year in the U.S.: "Sittin on a Side of the Ocean," "Give Me a Piece (She Doesn't Care)," and "The Train," which opened Side A. The songs reflect the existential angst of a 16-year-old -- Ernan's age when he wrote them. For instance, "The Train," with its powerful guitar intro, might suggest the anticipation of love, but it's actually not about romance at all: it deals with suicide and a dialogue with death, portrayed as a woman dressed in black waiting at the end of the station. The life-and death theme continues in "Sittin on a Side of the Ocean," which speaks of a loveless world filled with hate, erupting into a striking riff by guitarist Miguel Cárdenas. These tracks were joined on Side A by "I Found All," "I Can't," and "Round Round." Side B featured "Gonna Make I," "A Life of Love," "Cause of Love," "All Right/It's Gonna Take Me Time," and "Give Me a Peace," for a total of ten songs. The quality of the material is even more impressive when you realize Rocha was only 17 years old when he recorded it. When the album came out, with its bluesy, psychedelic sound and Hendrix-inspired guitar work, it seemed destined for commercial success -- but several factors stood in the way. One was the growing censorship of Mexican rock after Avándaro; another was the new government's view of rock as "cultural imperialism." The record went largely unnoticed throughout the '70s and '80s, but with the rise of online marketplaces in the early 2000s, it was rediscovered by international collectors, who hailed it as a hidden gem and praised its production. Munster now reissues it with liner notes and newly remastered sound.

Repress on yellow vinyl. After two pandemically conditioned "reaction" albums, a few non-album singles, and a compilation album, a downsized and sleek Motorpsycho is back where everyone knows and loves them, with an epic, sprawling double album, filled to the brim with inventive, organic and ecstatic rock-based music. Rejoyce Psychonaut! This eponymously titled, 11 song work, has exactly as much variety and diversity, accord and discord, as one expects from a band that has released a few albums before, and that these days must be regarded as an institution in European rock. From concise 3-minute-something pop-rockers, to 20-minute-plus progressive epics, via acoustic intimacies and psychedelic wig-outs, this is concentrated Motorpsychosis.

Violet color vinyl. Released in 1970 on the short-lived Truth Records label, Bandolero stands as one of the rawest and most elusive artifacts of Puerto Rico's psychedelic underground. Eleven originals burst with searing fuzz guitar, swirling organ, and driving Latin percussion, a heady mix of heavy rhythm and acid-tinged atmosphere. From the hypnotic pulse of its slow burners to the storm of its wilder jams, the album captures a moment of pure creative freedom and unfiltered energy. Long out of print and whispered about for decades, this is a blazing return for a true Latin psych-rock classic.

"Music in Continuous Motion, Bill Orcutt's latest entry into his 21st-century repertoire of quartet guitar music, pointedly steps away from the cut-and-paste constructivism of Music for Four Guitars into a sonic stratum that's yearningly melodic, resolutely human, and built for performance. Conceived for a 2026 NYC concert, Music in Continuous Motion shares the concision of its predecessor -- but rather than the discrete, mechanistic precision of Music for Four Guitars, the tracks on Music in Continuous Motion unify -- each song weaving four gleaming threads into the warp and weft of an evolving, complex texture that employs simple, repeating motifs to build new melodies from counterpoint itself. It accomplishes this in the most efficient manner possible: most of these 12 tracks hover around two-and-a- half minutes, each iterating first the substrate, then the melody and its variations, then slamming shut like a clockwork music box. Based on previous recorded evidence, Orcutt is fond of boundary conditions for his studio guitar records. Much of the time, his launchpad is obvious; with others, it's intentionally obscured. When recruiting me to write about each release, he might send me a clue. Although any given dispatch is a potential red herring, up until now, each has implied an Oulipian conceit (however obtuse) that at least somewhat determines the outcome. Thus, I was a bit surprised by his statement on Music in Continuous Motion. Whatever overarching form the recording process may have mapped out, the path of the finished album is explicitly poetic. Echoing its predecessor, the song titles, read in sequence, paint fleetingly-glimpsed forms -- but in contrast to the distant shapes described in Music For Four Guitars, the present narrative spotlights the dance of polygons momentarily grasped (and then lost) as they spin through space. Ultimately, the key difference between the albums (and what places Music in Continuous Motion in the realm of poetry) is its celebration of movement over immutability, of melody over form, of music as a hot wire to the heart rather than another upped ante in an arms race of inscrutability." --Tom Carter

A decade after his acclaimed self-titled debut as Le Carousel, Belfast producer Phil Kieran returns with a stunning follow-up: The Humans Will Destroy Us. Carrying forward the underground cult status of the 2013 album, with huge support from the likes of Andrew Weatherall among many others, this new body of work expands the Le Carousel universe into richer, more cinematic territory. Dreamy synth lines, shoegaze-infused electronics, and lush analogue textures weave together to create an album that feels at once intimate and expansive, nostalgic yet futuristic. Kieran describes it as a natural continuation of the Le Carousel story: music built on warmth, color, and emotion, but with sharper edges that reflect the urgency of the times. It's both a soundtrack for inner reflection and the unknown. The Humans Will Destroy Us is an album that rewards both deep listening and repeated returns.

Blessing Running Back for the second time, Mr. G's Reconnection EP is the result of a serious dive into his vaults. "City Heat (G's Underground Dub)" is a picture-perfect example of his skill to groove without a doubt: raw, funky and fabulous. "Serendipity" and "Work" on the flip side complete this picture. Decades of record buying, music making and a love supreme for this culture rolled into one. Made yesterday, released today, and it will still sound great tomorrow. A personal gift from Mr. G's archive to Running Back.

On Left At Sunset, Tornado Wallace taps into those fragile, glowing moments after a long night in the club, when the lights come up just enough, the bass softens, and the first hint of morning slips through the windows. The lead track "Asahi Ga Yondeiru" ("the morning sun is calling") captures that feeling perfectly. Built around Courtney Bailey's gentle vocal, it drifts somewhere between late-night house and early morning reflection.

Formed in San Diego at the tail end of the 1970s, The Crawdaddys stood apart from the punk explosion surrounding them, reviving the raw rhythm and blues spirit of the early British Invasion with unshakable devotion. Their debut album Crawdaddy Express, originally released in 1979 on Voxx Records, captures the band at full throttle, gritty guitars, swirling organ, and a ferocious live energy straight out of a sweaty basement club circa 1965. This essential slab of garage revival magic remains a timeless reminder of when rock and roll was wild, loud, and gloriously untamed. Also available on color vinyl (RRS 262W-LP).

The earliest and rawest recordings from UK anarcho-punk/crust pioneers Sacrilege. Formed in the mid-1980s, Sacrilege emerged from the British DIY underground with a sound that fused the political urgency of the anarcho scene with the heaviness of Discharge and the creeping darkness that would later define their crossover into thrash and doom. This LP features their 1984 and 1985 demos, capturing the band at their most direct and uncompromising -- raging, unpolished, and driven by conviction -- as well as a previously unreleased live set recorded at the Ambulance Station squat in London in 1985, a raw document of their power in the chaotic, squat-based scene of the time. Limited remastered edition with poster and printed inner sleeve. Also available on color vinyl (RRS 286R-LP).

Danny Scott Lane is a New York-based musician, photographer and sound artist whose work drifts between jazz, ambient, and gentle funk. Originally an actor and singer before turning to photography, Lane brings a cinematic and emotional sensibility to his recordings -- music that feels intimate, tactile, and quietly surreal. He has scored films and commercials, and his eclectic taste has taken him to DJ booths around the world. Since his first tape release in 2019, Lane has released nine albums, five of them with WRWTFWW Records, each expanding his distinct blend of warmth, rhythm, and daydream. His tenth LP, House of Alice, welcomes back three-time collaborator David Lackner and introduces Michael Gagliardi, further deepening the reflective world Lane continues to build. The album's title is derived from the Alice Austen House. Danny took an interest in the prolific "street" photography of Alice where she often captured everyday life and intimate depictions of women's lives beautifully. Inspiring images that reflect in his own photography as well.

France's near-revolution of May '68 was the zenith of that generation's struggle for a new kind of life. It kicked the country's small, but vibrant, counter-culture into overdrive, and birthed a local underground music scene. The bands it spawned made music with much less rock purity than groups from the UK and US. Their musical and cultural influences foregrounded improvisation, dis-junction, and genre-blending: Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, free jazz, and radical politics. The introduction of the synthesizer in the early 1970s added fuel to the fire. This collection of French underground music inaugurates a series to accompany Synths, Sax & Situationists, the first English-language book to investigate this movement. It focuses on the music of the second wave of bands that emerged in 1972/3, which saw radicalized psychedelic and jazz in-fluences merge with the future-music possibilities offered by new technology. Featuring Nyl, Etron Fou Leloublan, Lard Free, Heldon, Jacques Berrocal/Dominique Coster/Roger Ferlet, and Delired Chameleon Family.

6CD box set from Digitmovies. Includes soundtracks for Angelo Lavagnino's Venere Imperiale, Mario Nascimbene's Uomini E Lupi, and Angelo F. Lavagnino, La Maja Desnuda. Venere imperiale (aka "Imperial Venus") was directed in 1962 by Jean Delannoy and starred Gina Lollobrigida, Stephen Boyd, and Gabriele Ferzetti. Originally, C.A.M. released a 33 rpm LP which was then reissued on a CAM CD in 1991 and contained thirteen selections in mono with a total of 47:15 minutes. By looking at the cue sheets attached to the mono master tapes of the original sessions, Digitmovies realized that most of the tracks on the album were in fact suites assembled by the author at the time for record purposes. So thanks to the master tapes stored in optimal condition, the label could create the definitive presentation of this important International movie OST on a double CD. The orchestra was masterfully conducted by Carlo Savina. Uomini e lupi (aka "Men and Wolves") was directed by Giuseppe De Santis in 1956. For this double CD set Digitmovies has used the master tapes in mono of the recording sessions from 1956 well preserved until today which allowed us to use every note recorded, including alternate versions, choral pieces and pieces with solo male. A proper rescue and preservation of the Italian Golden Age, the music art of Mario Nascimbene and a sincere tribute to the land of Abruzzo which with its natural beauty has been the backdrop for the film. La Maja desnuda (aka "The naked Maja") was directed in 1958 by Henry Koster and Mario Russo and starring Ava Gardner, Anthony Franciosa, and Gino Cervi. At the time, in Italy, a vinyl album on the label Fonit Cetra was released and with partially different selections on the United Artists LP issued in America that, despite did feature the writing stereo on the sleeve was absolutely in mono. For Digitmovie's double CD project, the label had access to master tapes in mono of the original recording session with conducting of Carlo Savina. In addition to the material of the previous CD that have sequenced with the film music sequence with the "finale" rightly at the end of the tracks list, the label has discovered fabulous in-edit material.

Released in 1973 on Motown's label, Share My Love is a richly layered and deeply expressive record that captures Gloria Jones at a creative crossroads. After years working behind the scenes as a songwriter and session vocalist, penning material for The Tams, The Marvellettes, and others, Jones finally takes center stage with a collection that radiates confidence, vulnerability, and undeniable soul. Known to many for her original 1964 version of "Tainted Love," later immortalized by Soft Cell, Jones brought to Share My Love a seasoned understanding of both the heartbreak and hope that lie at the core of great soul music. More than just a product of its time, Share My Love feels like a declaration, a turning point where one of soul's great, often-overlooked voices stepped into her own light. It remains a moving document of artistic self-assurance and one of the most heartfelt releases to emerge from Motown's early '70s era.

Performed at Kirche zum Heiligen Kreuz, Berlin (Kreuzberg) on 27th September 1974 by the incredible all-star line-up of Dieter Roth, Gerhard Rühm, Oswald Wiener, Hermann Nitsch, Günter Brus, Attersee, Arnulf Rainer and Dominik Steiger. Two CDs, full-color 12" LP gatefold sleeve, printed inner sleeve, two A3 size posters. Includes previously unpublished archival photos and artworks. Das Berliner Konzert was first published by Hansjörg Mayer, Studio Morra & Pari e Dispari in 1977 as a 3LP Box. This is part six in the Selten Gehörte Musik reissue series, curated and produced by Daniel Löwenbrück/Tochnit Aleph.
"Stimulated by our first public performance of 'rarely heard music' (Das Münchner Konzert), we at once planned another concert in which the tight circle of performers was to be enlarged by a couple of dear friends, and once again the location had to have the lure of the special. Oswald Wiener suggested the church of the holy cross in berlin as our place of action, for we had learnt that it could be hired for public performances. everyone was most enthusiastic about playing a venue like that, and so 'rarely heard music' came to be performed on 27 September 1974 on a grand scale before a large audience. The participants this time were Attersee, Günter Brus, Hermann Nitsch, Dieter Roth, Gerhard Rühm, Dominik Steiger, Oswald Wiener, and Arnulf Rainer, who contributed to the performance as silent face-puller and contortionist. Not only did the event assume almost monumental dimensions in terms of outlay, preparations, resonance and duration, at times it rose to unbridled, almost ecstatic climaxes; at one point Brus, who had been manically blowing the one and same note into a kind of alphorn, even momentarily lost consciousness." -Gerhard Rühm "Über Selten Gehörte Musik"

Published January 2024 on occasion of the 30th anniversary of the label and the 50th anniversary of the artist, this is the first solo vinyl release by Daniel Löwenbrück on Tochnit Aleph. Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker, Berlin. Manufactured at RPM Records, København. Artwork by Roger Ballen. On "Grievance Studies," all instruments, objects and body-functions were performed, recorded and mixed by DL in 2006-2023, with additional material from Doreen Kutzke (yodeling voice), Rudolf Eb.er (snoring), Dave Phillips (strings), and with various field-recordings, made sometimes somewhere by DL. On "Prinzendorf Requiem (für Hermann Nitsch)," the animals of Prinzendorf Castle recorded by DL in 2013. Church-bells of Prinzendorf Castle were performed and recorded by DL in 2014. Drums and percussions were performed and recorded by Jakob Hoyer in 2023. Composed, edited, and mixed by DL 2022-2023.
"GRAVØL meditates on two extremes, each of which seemingly remain determined to present their reveries without affectation or even play. The first side, 'Grievance Studies', is a disquieting elixir that takes components from the archive and previous live-actions and builds into a harrowing primordial soup. The logic of this piece would suggest that it leads to its object. Löwenbrück instead renders it impermissible. The second side, 'Prinzendorf Requiem (für Hermann Nitsch)', presents a work of memorial for the recently deceased Hermann Nitsch. Through a celebratory cacophony composed of recordings made by the artist at Nitsch's Prinzendorf Castle, and with additional drum and percussion work specifically made to realize the piece, Löwenbrück's tender yet joyous composition blunts the melancholy with a warmth that he has rarely made space for in previous work." --Patrick Quick

Unashamedly literate UK post-punk sophisticates The Monochrome Set, having amassed a formidable catalogue of releases over five decades, are ready to release their new opus Lotus Bridge on Tapete Records -- the band's home for the last twelve years and six studio albums. Their instantly recognizable sound and darkly humorous lyrics have always set them apart. Bid's cerebral wit and debonair tones, melded to infectious melodies and deft songcraft of a cinematic and literary quality, have been quietly influential over a diverse set of artists since their inception and throughout different stages of their career. The band are, in essence, a national treasure. Lotus Bridge is a psychedelic trip into Bid's rich and fantastical dreamworld. Based on a singular dream that represented itself after an eight-month hiatus just when it became time to record again, Bid recounts in sharp detail the myriad of characters and surroundings that appeared in his dream and inspired this new set of stories to unfold. This new album follows on from Bid's book of selected lyrics -- Strange Young Alien -- published by Ventil Verlag in November 2025. Lotus Bridge has a subtle but quite different feel compared to previous TMS albums -- the core use of electric piano and acoustic guitar, electric guitars often used in wide stereo, and overall a very focused and almost orchestral feel to it. There are also ambient sounds between many of the songs, so that the whole album feels like a connected whole. Bid is joined in The Monochrome Set for this recording by fellow original Andy Warren on bass, Stephen Gilchrist on drums and Athen Ayren on keyboards and guitar. Alice Healey once again provides backing vocals. The album was recorded at OneCat Studio in London, engineered by Jon Clayton and produced by Jon Clayton and Bid.

Double Exposure isn't a departure, necessarily, but this new album contains some of the rawest and most deconstructed sounds that James Hoare -- of Veronica Falls, Ultimate Painting and Proper Ornaments -- has recorded to date. Principally, and for the first time, the guitars take a back seat. It's not a "no guitar" concept album by any means; it's mostly just the way it came together. It would also be inaccurate to suggest the guitars have been banished altogether, especially after the dual six-string solo that rips through the speakers on the mighty album opener Regrets. Following 2024's gorgeous Backwater Collage debut LP under the Penny Arcade nom de plume, this is a hallucinogenic experience, and the backbone of Double Exposure is the drum machine that informed the songs. It's also an album of sweet duality. The album features flashes of guest appearances, but for the vast majority it is an album of solo experimentalism, with gestations that bubble to life across the stereo before fading back out again. The drum machines take center stage, playing out like In Rainbows-era Radiohead channeled through Silver Apples, a trip in three minutes that you can play on an infinite loop. Like so much of the album, it was recorded almost instantaneously, with a simplicity and rawness that heavy overdubs and meticulous arrangements could never achieve. It is an album high on vibe. Clicking drum machines and oozing organs interplay with different hues of guitar work, from the ragas of the George Harrison-esque "Early Morning" to the tripped-out, smoke-drenched "We Used to Be Good Friends." Double Exposure is an unfussy collection of songs. The album harks somewhere between the restless experimentation of Syd Barrett and the uninhibited analogue innovations of Tim Presley as White Fence. It very much is what it is.

Detroit original, Terrence Dixon, returns to Tresor Records with When Stars Remember. The release finds him stepping forward: whilst many of the hall marks of a Terrence Dixon production are present, the drums are more forward; the synth arpeggios so bold that "monumental" seems a better descriptor than "minimal." The absence of things is another main theme of the EP, especially what Dixon sees as "The Forgotten," a group of fundamental principles like common sense, trust, loyalty, honesty and respect that are missing from modern life.

Mononoke is a Berlin band founded by Fabian Rösch and Benjamin Geyer. Their musical passion is improvisation with a sound that moves between experimental electronic music, jazz, beat music and ambient. This LP combines two EPs which have been released on the Munich based label tunnel.visions, each on one side. APARt was created in the field of tension between spontaneous improvisation and careful studio work, marked by the lockdowns during covid and social isolation. It was precisely this physical separation that gave rise to a new experimental approach. Each track is a puzzle, whose individual pieces were put together, moved around, and placed in new contexts. Instead of jamming and rehearsing together, musical ideas were exchanged online so that they could be freely interpreted, altered and redesigned. Newly found vivid playfulness, fresh approaches and a tilt towards the unexpected marks these songs. Capturing moments in our lives full of challenges, developments and salvation. The same new and unusual process of working separately, shaped the subsequent second EP modular which followed the same working structure but with a new component: the modular synthesizer, which decisively reshapes the sound: a collection of analog textures, broken structures and a touch of raw intimacy.

Solo Suono is the first collaboration between saxophonist Filippo Ansaldi and electronic musician Simone Sims Longo, both based in Cuneo, Italy. Solo Suono is an album between acoustic gesture and electronic treatment, beyond the classical while starting from the classical. Breath, amplified mechanics, residual sounds, expressive freedom, and different forms that integrate electroacoustic composition. Passing through looped gestures, electronic processes, and concrete sound explorations, it investigates textures that blur the line between organic and synthetic, emphasizing subtle timbral shifts, evolving patterns, and the interaction between chance and structure. Fragile, immersive, and at times meditative, the music opens a space where the listener can inhabit both the immediacy of performance and the expanded sound world of electronic manipulation. Solo Suono is a phrase open to multiple interpretations, a naïve description of music.

Roberto y su Nuevo Montuno recorded their first album, El Nuevo Montuno Llegó (1970), when Roberto Berríos was just 22 years old. This was also the debut release on Haddock's own Uniart label. Berríos remembers that they did the recording in two sessions, splitting it up into four tracks per visit. The engineer was the famed Pedro "Pedrito" Henríquez, who recorded El Gran Combo, Roberto Roena and many others. The band had a mix of tasty, powerful originals, from Tony Cintrón's title track that announced the band had arrived, "El Nuevo Montuno Llegó," to Quique Dávila's mournful "Triste Arrabal." Then there was the hit Santería themed tune, "Llamé a Changó," which was a song that Quique Dávila brought to the band, but had been originally composed by Carlos Pinto, though Quique was given the credit. Dávila also composed "Me Queda Un Guaguancó," which is Roberto's favorite song on the record (as well as a fan favorite), with Papo sounding like his friend Héctor Lavoe, and Quique Dávila's proud manifesto declaring that Puerto Rico now had its own son montuno, "Oye Tu Son, Borinquen," featuring the pianist's tasty but brief solo. The cover versions came from the group's earliest period when most of their repertoire consisted of renditions of beloved but lesser known tunes, and include Louie Ramírez's "Balancéate" (a favorite of Roberto's from Ray Barretto's songbook), Bobby Valentín's "Monina y Ramón" (recorded during his stint with Willie Rosario), and a bolero indelibly sung by Cheo Feliciano when he was with the Joe Cuba Sextet, "Dichoso," written by Joe Cuba's talented pianist, Nick Jiménez. Some of the arranging was done by Cintrón and some by Dávila, though Quique had some help from his old friend from El Combo Moderno, Freddie Miranda, who at that time was with Roberto Roena's Apollo Sound. Roberto says that the arrangements of the cover tunes were made specifically to be different and more contemporary sounding than the originals. El Nuevo Montuno Llegó has become a legendary salsa dura classic from Puerto Rico and Vampisoul are thrilled to present this first legitimately licensed and remastered vinyl reissue. It includes detailed liner notes that reveal the untold story of the band and their debut album, and rare photos.

Quinteplus was born in Buenos Aires at the end of the 1960s, emerging directly from the ideas and experiments of the legendary Agrupación Nuevo Jazz. Founded in the early '60s, this collective brought together some of the most forward-thinking figures in Argentine jazz functioned as a creative lab where musicians questioned where jazz could go next. Among the key ideas discussed was the fusion of jazz with Argentine folk styles such as zamba, chacarera, malambo, cueca, and candombe, as well as a deeper look into African rhythms as a bridge between musical worlds. Two members of that collective, keyboardist Santiago Giacobbe and bassist Jorge "Negro" González, carried those ideas forward when they formed Quinteplus in 1969. The group came together naturally: all the musicians already knew each other and had played in different projects around the Buenos Aires scene. They shared a strong admiration for Julian "Cannonball" Adderley's quintet, along with a clear goal -- to develop a modern jazz language grounded in local Argentine rhythms. From the start, Quinteplus stood out for its openness and adventurous spirit. Rhythm was central, and so was experimentation. The band belonged to a generation of Argentine jazz musicians eager to explore electric instruments and new textures, anticipating what would soon be known as jazz-rock. This was happening in Buenos Aires at the very same time Miles Davis was opening new doors with In a Silent Way and Bitches Brew. In 1971, Quinteplus recorded its first and only studio album for EMI. The original lineup featured Jorge Anders on tenor saxophone, Gustavo Bergalli on trumpet, Giacobbe on keyboards, González on upright and electric bass, and Norberto "Pocho" Lapouble on drums and percussion -- who also illustrated the album's iconic sleeve. The record is a refined showcase of the band's musical vision: original compositions, fluent jazz language, folk-derived rhythms, funky electric textures, tight ensemble playing, and standout brass solos. Though critically praised, the album received little label support and sold modestly, eventually becoming a sought-after collector's item. Quinteplus disbanded in 1973, their music was perhaps too bold and unconventional for its time. This first-time reissue brings back a vital chapter of Argentine jazz history, revealing a band that was truly ahead of the curve and still resonates powerfully today.

WRWTFWW Records presents the first-ever vinyl release of Art Form 2, the seminal 1998 compilation from Tokyo's cult label FORM@ RECORDS, now available as a limited edition double LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve, as part of the ongoing collaborative series between the Swiss and Japanese labels. Initially available only in CD form, Art Form 2 emerges as a quiet artifact from an exploratory phase in FORM@ RECORDS' late-1990s trajectory. The compilation drifts through the deeper layers of Tokyo's electronic underground, where IDM, techno, ambient, and downtempo dissolve into one another within an atmosphere of deliberate experimentation. Both intimate and forward-looking, it preserves a moment in which a local scene, largely unseen, was patiently reshaping the future beyond the reach of prevailing global narratives. Flowing with carefully sculpted rhythms, immersive sound design, and a subtle sense of machine soul, Art Form 2 reflects the maturity of the FORM@ aesthetic in 1998. The compilation resonates with the spirit of Warp's Artificial Intelligence era, Carl Craig's melodic futurism, Ken Ishii's cerebral techno, B12's deep electronics, and Ian O'Brien's emotive touch, while remaining unmistakably rooted in its own local context. Timeless and singular, it stands as a beautifully preserved time capsule of underground electronic music. Featuring Circle Limit, Led-M, Missing Project, Tensor, Tek Of 606, Misty Fuzz, Fossil, Modern Living, and Toh Chisei.

Wewantsounds presents for the first time on vinyl Brion Gysin's cult recordings, produced by Ramuntcho Matta in the '80s and early '90s. The release features the hypnotic 32-minute journey "Dreamachine," which transforms the effects of Gysin's legendary light art device into a mesmerizing audio experience, alongside the track "The Door," featuring the visionary saxophonist Steve Lacy. A towering figure in avant-garde art, literature, and sound, Gysin influenced generations of creators, from William Burroughs to David Bowie and Laurie Anderson. The recordings on Dreamachine reflect Brion Gysin's fascination with altered perception. Matta had returned to Paris after a late-1970s stay in New York following the death of his brother, Gordon Matta-Clark, and had already produced Gysin's album Junk and the single "Kick" featuring Don Cherry. At the center is the title track "Dreamachine" a hypnotic 32-minute piece built on minimalist repetition, echoing the stroboscopic effects of Gysin's iconic light sculpture. Slowly evolving grooves create a trance-like state, drawing on Afrobeat in the lineage of Fela Kuti and the laid-back, cyclical guitar patterns of King Sunny Adé's juju music. Conceived as a sonic extension of the eponymous visual device, invented by Gysin with Ian Sommerville, Dreamachine reshapes the listener's sense of time and perception. The record also includes "The Door," a striking collaboration featuring the legendary saxophonist Steve Lacy, adding further depth to the avant-garde jazz elements of Gysin's world. This vinyl features remastered audio and an insert with a striking photo of Gysin and Burroughs in front of the Dreamachine, shot by French photographer François Lagarde, alongside liner notes by Jason Weiss situating the recordings in historical and artistic context.

Black Editions presents the first ever vinyl and digital editions of Rotting Tapes II by Rotting Telepathies, the free-punk trip of spectral poet Michio Kadotani and High Rise founder Nanjo Asahito. Recorded live in 1982, and originally issued as a limited cassette edition by the notorious label of the Tokyo underground, La Musica Records. Kadotani's music has previously only been documented on a 1991 CD on P.S.F. (entitled Rotting Telepathies), and the recently rediscovered '87 KAD 3:4:5:6 set, which makes this disinterring of a highly limited 1990s La Musica cassette edition particularly significant. The unrelenting dunt of the rhythm section here, locked-in and revolving around Nanjo's bowel-rumbling bass, is the perfect foil for Kadotani's guitar -- sometimes cutting, sometimes spindly -- and the stream of babble that was his vocal style. It's frazzled but underpinned by viciously sharp logic. A beautiful representation of Kadotani, the man Nanjo once called "the only real punk in Japan." Available for the first time on LP or any physical form aside from a small run of hand assembled cassettes on the Japanese La Musica label in mid '90s (LA-107). Housed in a custom die-cut, "Uni-Pak" style gatefold with metallic ink, spot finishes and matching La Musica inner sleeve. La Musica Records was a label founded by Asahito Nanjo in Tokyo during the 1990s. It released nearly 200 cassettes and CD-r's, all handmade in micro-editions sold at shows. The catalog featured artists and recordings largely of obscure, often completely unknown origin, sanctioned and "grey-area" documentation of the Tokyo psychedelic underground.

"The continuation of a multi-dimensional journey, Astral Voyager Vol. 2 picks up with interstellar bounty hunter Mica evading pursuit by The Nine as she traverses time and space to bring in her marks. An infectious blast of sci-fi metal and soaring desert anthems, Astral Voyager Vol. 2 is a record about the dangers of manipulation and struggling for individuality against the unseen powers who try to keep people compliant and controlled. Powerplay Magazine called Astral Voyager Vol. 1 'a storming, righteous, red-hot hunk of stoner-psych,' while Witching Buzz said, 'Kal-El don't just gaze at the stars; they chart them' and Slightly Fuzzed proclaimed the album 'A must-hear for stoner rock disciples and cosmic doom wanderers alike.'"

On this album, the former Chasing Clouds have accumulated into the eponymous Black Sky; these drifting soundclouds have swallowed a bulk of Sepalot´s sunny nature; his trademark relaxed attitude gave way to instrumental melancholy and pugnacity. "Before I started recording I listened to lots of The Doors songs. I found the suicidal aspect in their music very exciting. I totally inhaled it," Sepalot reports. "The breakage, the grid, the dirt - that was my inspiration. I was thirsty for the energy of pureness." In order to capture this roughness Sepalots first production steps were drafting soundsketches -- often more than 100 in a row. This is then is followed by a sorting process with many drafts going immediately into the trashcan. The survivors create the first basic draft. There is something waiting in the wings. Featuring Johnny Popcorn, Fab, Ladi6, and Jesper Munk.

In the late 1970s, four young musicians from Marsberg, Germany -- despite the absence of a local jazz scene -- came together to form Green Cosmos, a quartet whose sound drew equally from John Coltrane's spiritual fire, world music traditions, free jazz, and Indian classical influences. Morgenmusiken marks a pivotal stage in the group's evolution, moving beyond the ballad-driven character of their debut Abendmusiken toward freer, more meditative soundscapes. Across seven previously unreleased tracks, the album blends "cosmic music" with "live compositions," reflecting the band's distinctive approach to spontaneous creation. Sessions often began in silence and meditation, gradually unfolding into collective improvisations. The lineup featured Michael Boxberger on saxophone, Benny Düring on piano, and twin brothers Alfred and Ulrich Franke forming a rhythm section frequently described as having a "telepathic connection." Joined by sitar master Narayan Govande, they shaped a sound that balanced freedom with improvisation, space, and silence. "Silence might be the most beautiful part in music," the band once reflected. "One single note can make more of an impression than 100 notes." With this ethos, Morgenmusiken invites listeners on a journey both meditative and expansive -- a discovery of music that feels timeless.

"Manavgat" hurtles you down a dirt road at dusk, brooding and atmospheric, while "Baby I Know What You Want" threads vocals through rolling percussion and a driving bass as the club thrives in unison. Remixes extend the EP's landscape: Mr. G reshapes the material into grainy, coded dub house textures, while Ben Kaczor emphasizes low-end depth and taut, hypnotic tension. Winterswell is a vinyl release where intimacy, texture, and rhythm converge with confidence and nuance.

"The legendary album by IN+OUT from 1989, remastered from the original recordings in a 45rpm 2LP Audiophile Deluxe Edition. This album, recorded during a month-long European tour in 1987, captures Woody Shaw in peak form playing with a spirit and a sense of adventure that identify him as a jazz giant. Woody calls the trumpet 'the prince of all the horns.' Woody is the king of all the trumpet players. Nobody around plays with such a big, round, ravishing sound -- a sound which could easily fool you into thinking that you are listening to a flugelhorn. Woody's musical associates on this album are Alex Deutsch, a young drummer from Austria who has worked in Europe with many American jazz stars and who, at the time of writing, is studying at the Berklee School in Boston; Neil Swainson, a highly gifted bassist from Toronto who has worked with Pat La Barbera and Peter Leitch but is perhaps best known for his superb collaboration with George Shearing; and Fred Henke, a pianist from Montreal whose credits include backing Clifford Jordan, Steve Grossman, and Junior Cock."

They have long been sought after by enthusiasts and collectors, and more and more of these tracks have seen the light of day over the past decade. This new compilation, curated by Penn himself, begins with the title track, 'Smoke Filled Room,' an unheard signature classic which could have been written in the heyday of Memphis and Muscle Shoals, before it runs the table from straight up southern gospel to blues and power ballads.

"Dr. John, also known as 'The Nighttripper,' is a musical high priest of voodoo rock. Born Malcolm 'Mac' John Rebennack Jr. on November 20, 1941, in New Orleans (USA), he is a six-time Grammy Award winner and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. That's enough by way of introduction; everything else is music history. It began in 1968 with the release of his first album, Gris-Gris (Atco Records), a sometimes eerie-sounding mixture of voodoo spells, rhythm and blues, and Creole soul music. With his colorful and picturesque stage performances, he stylized himself as Dr. John (Creaux) the Night Tripper, becoming an icon of psychedelic rock. Dr. John's true love, however, was the blues influenced by his hometown of New Orleans. He collaborated with numerous blues musicians such as Charles Brown and roots rocker Willy DeVille, as well as jazz musicians such as Maria Muldaur and Bennie Wallace, and rock musicians such as Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton. He appeared in Martin Scorsese's film The Last Waltz, a film adaptation of Bob Dylan and The Band's farewell concert, as well as in the film Blues Brothers 2000. On July 9, 1999, Dr. John performed at the Loreley as part of a Rockpalast festival. He was accompanied by three outstanding session musicians: David Barard (bass), Bobby Broom, and Herman Ernest (drums). The set list included Dr. John classics such as 'Iko, Iko,' 'Right Place, Wrong Time,' and 'I Walk On Guilded Splinters,' which became a global hit in 1969 in Marsha Hunt's version and was later covered by Cher, Humble Pie, and the Neville Brothers, among others. This Rockpalast recording is a moving legacy of the extraordinary musician and human being Dr. John, who passed away in the summer of 2019 in his beloved hometown of New Orleans."

This double LP of instrumental Hindustani, Carnatic and folk 78rpm shellac records from India comes with a full color 12-page insert of gramophone record ephemera, shops, labels, manufacturing details and graphics. The LPs feature over 25 artists recorded between 1904 and 1959 playing a panoply of instruments: jalatarang, dilruba, sarod, clarionet, pakhawaj, violin, been, kazoo, shehnai, tabla, sarangi, sitar, vina and more. Artists include Imdad Khan (the first sitarist ever recorded), Ahmedjan Thirkhawa, Bundu Khan, Amir Hussain, Allauddin Khan (who taught Ravi Shankar), and others both forgotten and revered. The Indian classical instrumental tradition is one of incredible proficiency and expressiveness using instruments and techniques created over generations that seem to perfectly and uniquely compliment Indian culture, landscape and tradition. Sympathetic strings resonate inside sitars and sarangis to manifest shimmering reverberant spiritual spaces; horns, reeds and flutes extend the range, volume and melodic inventiveness of the voice; a mind-boggling array of elaborately turned percussion instruments allow for rhythms as complex or as simple as the flowing Ganges River. Classical music in India was perhaps at its height during the 78rpm period as the raj era was ending and the world was globalizing. 2LP gatefold with 12-page full color booklet insert. Produced by Robert Millis (Climax Golden Twins/Victrola Favorites) and features never reissued recordings and is the long-anticipated follow up to the Indian Talking Machine book/CD (Sublime Frequencies 099), which was also produced by Millis from his collection of 78rpm records and ephemera.

Mats Gustafsson met Jan St. Werner in Berlin when they both performed with Peter Brötzmann and a group of prolific improvisers. Mats and Jan share a passion for performing not just inside rooms but also with them, activating space and shaping sound via diversion. Mats introduces Johan Berthling who adds complex bass structures to the nervous jitter of Mats' saxophone and pedals and Werner's digital machinery. The trio instantly agrees on sound as a physical material which can bend and move anywhere within seconds. With this material they establish musical forms which they immediately dissect and reassemble again. It's a nervous ride, a hyperactive conversation keen on detail and open to argument. Although IFANAME's sound is instantly graspable it is also hard to pin down. Nothing seems stable yet it lasts, holds like some kind of catchy glue and disappears as quickly as it came to life. IFANAME is question and concern. It is music as much as it is movement. It is attention, care, curiosity and disaster. Wherever IFANAME came from there is much more waiting ready to burst and reshape in front and inside of our ears.

By 1960, the sound of black popular music had turned away from a driving, largely up-tempo rhythm and blues to-wards a more emotionally poignant style described at the time as secularized gospel. The term "soul" popped up here and there, but only became common parlance after Ray Charles's "I Believe To My Soul" was released at the end of 1959. This compilation, part of the History of Soul series, brings together the finest tunes before soul went main-stream, accompanied by a 28-page booklet exploring the historical background from the years 1959 and 1960. Featuring Isley Brothers, The Soul Seekers, Barrett Strong, The Sensational Wonders, The Meditation Singers, The Falcons, Sugar Pie DeSanto, The Sunset Travelers, Big Jay McNeely, The Highway QC's. The Miracles, Ray Charles, Little Willie John, The Antioch Temple Choir, Eugene Church, Bobby "Blue" Bland, Donoman & The Lakettes, Hank Ballard, Earl Gaines, James Brown, The Famous Ward Singers, Harold Burrage, The Soul Stirrers, Jackie Wilson, The Staple Singers, The 5 Royales, Major Lance, 5 Blind Boys Of Mississippi, Ike & Tina Turner, The Miracles, The Kelly Brothers, A Man Mable John, Rufus & Carla, The Staple Singers, Earl King, Sam Cooke, Singin' Sammy Ward, Mary Wells, Little Esther, U.S. Bonds, The Top Notes, J.J.

The definitive "5" Royales brings together all known recordings of the "5" Royales and their songwriter Lowman Pauling. This set presents all their Apollo recordings together with "5" Royales curios and outtakes. When they joined King in the spring of 1954 they were coming off a run of hits for Apollo that had made them the most successful R&B group in the US. Arguably the greatest of all the R&B groups, the "5" Royales were also the very first to marry blues rhythms and instrumental stylings with the vocal fire of gospel. This daring and controversial innovation merging secular and sacred musical influences into a coherent whole, lays down the future guidelines of soul music. Compiled with the invaluable assistance of J. Taylor Doggett and Monika Hinrichs, these CDs contain some of the very best early soul and R&B ever recorded and the Royales' music still has the power and the passion to move us all. Includes 24-page booklet with notes by John Ridley.

"It has been years since Holy Fuck's last album, 2020's Deleter. In that time, the Canadian quartet -- Brian Borcherdt, Graham Walsh, Matt 'Punchy' McQuaid, and Matt Schulz -- spent two years apart, only to finally reconvene in a remote village hall in rural Nova Scotia in March 2022. What began as a simple reunion and rehearsal session soon flowed into new song ideas, becoming the starting point for their album Event Beat. At a time when music is increasingly AI-generated, Holy Fuck are more relevant than ever. They've built their reputation on forging electronic music with a profound human touch, keeping every element as live as possible, and favoring ragged energy and improvisation over staid, cold perfection. This is music where intuition and 'muscle memory' create an almost telepathic link between the four musicians. The unexpected circumstances of the recording sessions profoundly shaped the album. Faced with a storm that knocked out power (forcing the use of a generator) and a neighbor who objected to the volume, the band was challenged to make their signature sound while being as quiet as possible. This limitation unexpectedly resulted in 'low-key ambient things' and 'pastoral, vibey soundscapes.' However, hitting play on Event Beat reveals they brilliantly circumvented the idea of a purely ambient record. The album also comes in the wake of two major placements that led to an unexpected rediscovery: their track 'Tom Tom' was featured in the Amazon Prime Video hit animated series Invincible. Furthermore, 'Lost Cool' resurfaced in the Academy Award-winning body horror The Substance. With the sheer vibrancy of Event Beat and their conviction to keep going regardless of trends, Holy Fuck remain as relevant as ever. This album is a testament to the 'togetherness and the humanity in the music.'"

"more eaze is the moniker of Brooklyn-based composer, orchestrator, and multi-instrumentalist, mari maurice. A renowned collaborator both in performance and on recordings, maurice's own work is a fantasia, a reflection of her curious and explorative musical mind, encompassing entire spectrums of sound from a wide sonic pallet of electro-acoustic textures, folk traditions, and pop forms that pirouette into fully realized ecosystems. sentence structure in the country is a definitive statement of the matchless quality of more eaze's skill as player and musical thinker. The album relishes the ecstatic in performance and collaboration with an inviting wit and incisive compositions, imbuing tenderness, frustration, and joy into each passage.

As Coltrane said, 'It all has to do with it.' maurice grew up playing fiddle in traditional folk and country tunes, and while playing on her album is entirely different, her reverence for the evolution of folk forms and her playing remain integral to those performances. Informing her production choices were maurice's well- chosen collaborators: Wendy Eisenberg on electric guitar, piano and voice, Henry Earnest on electric guitar, Alice Gerlach on cello, Jade Guterman on acoustic guitar, and Ryan Sawyer on drums. maurice explains how her collaborators helped sculpt the album's sound: 'There are ways Jade or Wendy choose to voice chords that are not how I'd play them in this context, but that's kind of the point. Their voices redefine what I'm making but also help me define my own.' sentence structure in the country is a collection of compositions, each beautifully realized, self-contained worlds. maurice's dexterous, tasteful arranging lays bare her influences and obsessive fascinations with remarkable congruency while foregoing any sense of indulgence. Her music holds a density not only in the lush compositions and embellishing flourishes, but also for those moments of spare, minimalist beauty. sentence structure in the country is a textural marvel, a mosaic of ethereal electronics and loamy acoustics sculpted around deeply moving, enduring songs."

"The compositions of Colleen, aka multi-instrumentalist Cécile Schott, are as richly varied as they are precise. Each of Colleen's albums are shaped by her predetermined distinct instrumentation and parameters, including works composed entirely of music boxes, pocket synthesizers, and antiquated stringed instruments. The connective essence of Schott's music is in her ability to create pieces within this transcendent specificity that are both expansive and imbued with profound emotions. Libres antes del final is an album that reaches for the hope and desire to be truly freed from unnecessary suffering and harmful thoughts before reaching the end of one's life cycle. Schott composed and performed Libres on the Moog Matriarch, centering the record on a pulse-driven, bubbling energy with constant momentum. She then reamped the music in one of her favorite spaces in Barcelona, Casa Montjuic, accentuating the album's sense of movement. The reamping process adds a literal physicality to the album, as carefully chosen and placed microphones (including the famous Neumann KU100 binaural head) capture both the venue's PA sound itself and the venue's acoustics. Colleen's music translates snapshots of Schott's life into singular pieces, often instrumentally transmuting a dense web of sensations into wondrous sonic terrain. Schott's deft manipulation of the Moog Matriarch makes each subtle adjustment feel monumental. The tender 'Mis armas se habían caído al suelo' skitters sonar-like echoes across a warm pool of organ chords before giving in to a gentle wash of oceanic feedback. The bounce of 'Puertas de mi cuerpo' is transformed by every textural shift where the steady arpeggio of 'Antídoto' is broken apart by dizzying shifts in pulse. 'Aguas abiertas' (or, 'Open Waters') stands as the cinematic centerpiece to the album as each movement dives deeper beneath the surface and reflects the magic of discovering microcosms on every level one plunges further down. Title track 'Libres antes del final' harnesses the album's sense of urgency as the intensity swells and undulates into a climactic conclusion unlike any piece Schott has made before."

Limited edition, heavy 350gsm sleeve with obi. We Release Jazz presents the limited vinyl edition of Obad's powerful new album Suspended, a vivid document of the Tehran ensemble's endlessly evolving sonic universe -- now available as a limited LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve with an obi strip and featuring original artwork by Iranian painter Sadra Baniasadi. Suspended is a superbly spontaneous, improvisational blend of exploratory jazz fusion, progressive funk-rock, and transcendental groove. Built from lived experience and shaped by Tehran's pulse, Obad's music is kinetic and intuitive -- an ever-morphing dialogue between rhythm and texture, emotion and message. With Farid Farzian Pour on drums, Siavash Karimi on electric guitar, Kiarash Radmehr on bass guitar, and Hamidreza Keshavrpajuh (aka Pajuh) on tenor saxophone, Obad creates a soundworld where hypnotic basslines meet thunderous, free-flowing percussion; where searing guitar motifs coil around saxophone phrases that move from whispered invocation to explosive catharsis. Suspended captures the quartet at full creative stretch: alive, unguarded, and deeply attuned to one another. Sadra Baniasadi's striking cover painting mirrors the album's energy -- bold, dreamlike, charged with movement, and extending Obad's world into the visual realm. Suspended stands as a major statement from one of Iran's most compelling contemporary ensembles, marking Obad's first release on We Release Jazz and continuing the label's commitment to boundary-pushing music born from profound listening, place, and collective intuition.

New Zealand born Dead Finks are on their way back with a fourth record, one that maintains their trademark blend of hysterical cynicism and strident earnestness. Their propulsive, often abrasive sound of their previous records has now been tempered somewhat by shimmering guitars, hyper-melodic vocal lines and an increased emphasis on clarity and dynamics that absorbs classic pop songwriting, shoegazy textures and avantgarde art-music into their canon. The band started gaining traction in 2021 when the video for their single "(My Human) Extinction" premiered on the taste-making Harakiri Diät channel, becoming a modest hit in underground punk circles. They gained further attention after being hand-picked by Detroit post-punk stalwarts Protomartyr to support several dates of their 2022 EU tour, and went on to support Dry Cleaning on the entire European leg of their 2023 world tour.

In this work, first published in 1978 by Cetra, Antonio Infantino continues to express his ritualistic and shamanic relationship with the musical traditions of Southern Italy. The recordings focus on the mystery of death and the sacraments, the light of the spirit and the divine that descends and conquers souls. The phenomenon of Tarantism is still strong, the power of dance as a symbol of transformation and revolt, a therapeutic process of final healing. Folk music celebrates a deep sense of community, the memory of a peasant world that no longer exists but is still alive in the collective memory. Behind the tight and insistent rhythm of the percussion, the voices of the people, the colors of the squares and the scratchy string arrangements always emerge. The magical sound of the bagpipes is lost in the alleys of the villages. Infantino sings of minor cultures, the poor and oppressed classes, who share joys and sorrows, dance and music as secular forms of liberation.

Al Doum &The Faryds have always been an enchanting organism, a timeless land of wisdom, humility, brotherhood and love. Their blend of spiritual jazz, psychedelia and Afro-Latin rock holds a magical balance, turning their music into a tropical celebration filled with harmony and deep vibrations. A volcano of emotion, where the poetry of rising and falling voices becomes a gospel and soul illumination, echoing from faraway places. The expanded horn section -- alto and tenor sax, soprano sax and bass clarinet -- erupts with power, igniting incandescent grooves. Sax lines weave and chase one another like a train in relentless motion, evoking the urgency of post-punk, a wry Zappa-esque eccentricity, and exotic jazz-folk arrangements tinged with retro flair. A hybrid assemblage, deeply anchored in the '60s and '70s, flowing through free-form instrumental turns and psych-tribal impulses, where the guitar traces unexpected, lysergic, dreamlike paths. The Faryds continue to believe in the possibility of a new utopia: moving forward with courage, with hearts open to human connections, grounded in the dialogue of their souls.

LP version. Al Doum &The Faryds have always been an enchanting organism, a timeless land of wisdom, humility, brotherhood and love. Their blend of spiritual jazz, psychedelia and Afro-Latin rock holds a magical balance, turning their music into a tropical celebration filled with harmony and deep vibrations. A volcano of emotion, where the poetry of rising and falling voices becomes a gospel and soul illumination, echoing from faraway places. The expanded horn section -- alto and tenor sax, soprano sax and bass clarinet -- erupts with power, igniting incandescent grooves. Sax lines weave and chase one another like a train in relentless motion, evoking the urgency of post-punk, a wry Zappa-esque eccentricity, and exotic jazz-folk arrangements tinged with retro flair. A hybrid assemblage, deeply anchored in the '60s and '70s, flowing through free-form instrumental turns and psych-tribal impulses, where the guitar traces unexpected, lysergic, dreamlike paths.

Black Truffle presents Radis, the first recording by the Oslo-based trio of Andrea Giordano (voice and organetto), Kalle Moberg (accordion) and Jo David Meyer Lysne (guitar and snare drum). Recorded in several locations across Italy and Norway over the course of three years, Radis documents an ensemble who have developed both a distinctive sound-world and a remarkably sensitive group dynamic. Moving from folkish duets between accordion and Giordano's organetto (the small accordion used in Italian folk music) to episodes of metallic guitar scraping from Meyer Lysne, the music is both quietly contemplative and gently chaotic. Ensemble roles shift with disarming ease. If on "Profij dëspers" Meyer Lysne's prepared guitar adds a haywire noise element to a lyrical episode of organetto and accordion, the next piece, "D'antorn a lor" is grounded in chiming guitar chords of stunning beauty; once Giordano's joins, the result calls up the most spacious moments of Maria Monti's Il Bestiario. Throughout the seven pieces, the trio explore countless possibilities of group interaction and the margin between conventional euphony and pure abstraction: at times the voice floats against silence or seems almost disconnected from the gentle clatter of the instruments (sometimes reminiscent of Nikiforas Rotas' haunting settings of Cavafy), while at other points the instruments touch on conventional harmonic accompaniment. What is perhaps most striking of all is the way that voice and instruments relate to each other, the extended technique reframing the voice as a kind of abstract sound object, while the melodic beauty of Giordano's voice lends a contemplative, almost melancholic air to the wheezing and scraping of accordion and guitar. Captured in gorgeously intimate recordings, Jim O'Rourke's careful and beautifully spacious mix highlights the wealth of textural detail in each element. Accompanied by notes, session photos and the text of Piedmontese poems, Radis is a work of stunning beauty that demonstrates the vitality of exploratory music in Norway today.

With Le Tact, Joseph Schiano di Lombo delivers a work of rare finesse, conceived as a posthumous conversation with photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. Through seven meditative pieces -- whose evocative titles echo the photographer's words when describing the art of creating an image -- this album explores the instinctive and delicate relationship that connects music and photography to everyday lives. Presented for the first time on stage during the 20th anniversary of the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation, Le Tact draws its inspiration from the photographer's art: a sensitive and respectful approach, capturing the essence of things without altering them. This spirit of discretion and precision is distilled by Joseph into his music, blending composition and improvisation with intuitive elegance. While Joseph composed and performed the piano, organ, synthesizer, clarinet, and guitar himself, he opened his arrangements for the first time to other musicians. Agnes Wasniewska (oboe), Barbara Misiewicz (cello), and Tomasz Baye Zietek (trumpet) bring their sonic textures, enriching this work, which is both intimate and collaborative. The album was recorded between Paris and Sopot (Poland) during a residency organized by the CNM. The album's title perfectly encapsulates its essence: Le Tact. This simple word, evoking both the sense of touch and artistic intuition, reflects the way Joseph composes -- with respect, humility, and attention to detail. Each note seems to float lightly, as if to preserve the serenity of the moment. Le Tact transcends genre boundaries. Between ambient music and contemporary art, this album invites listeners to slow down and truly listen. It is a tribute to the beauty of the world, captured with the subtlety of a photographer and the sensitivity of a musician.

Chris Liebing's first full solo techno LP, Evolver. The German techno don's LP features a host of collaborators across music, images, and artwork. Luke Slater, Charlotte De Witte, Speedy J, The Advent, Terence Fixmer, Pascal Gabriel, and Daniel Miller contribute to the music, while long-time collaborators Studio Bergfors deliver design, and legendary photographer Anton Corbijn shot Liebing for the project. The Evolver LP is the sum total of Chris Liebing's three decades at the beating heart of techno. It's the record only someone whose first break as a techno DJ was playing five hours at Sven Väth's infamous Omen in Frankfurt -- and who has ridden out every twist and turn of life and subcultures since, while remaining rooted in the true school, dark, sweaty techno sweat pits of the world - could have made. It's the result of deep introspection, but it's about utter immediacy. It's the sound of someone previously driven along by compulsion and happenstance at last finding the confidence to be utterly intentional about their practice, allowing them to take the most classic, familiar, proven elements from the past and render them completely new. Evolver is also Liebing's first completely solo album. There are collaborations, yes: with old friends from the OG techno generation, Luke Slater, Speedy J, and The Advent, all on uncompromising form, and with new generation figurehead Charlotte De Witte, who provides a thrilling narration of total surrender to the moment on acid clarion call "Symphonie des Seins." But unlike all Liebing's albums to date, there's no co-pilot. Every structure, every mixdown, every choice serves his singular vision of how his untold immersion in the surging currents of the world's greatest clubs should sound. The elements are all those forged in the white heat of Omen and Tresor in the mid-'90s -- brutal repetition, titanium kick drums, industrial atmospherics, but also dark rave euphoria, ever present surging acid lines just on the cusp of trance, and just enough human voices to remind you of bodies on the dance floor -- but rendered with all the extraordinary accumulated skill and technological developments since then.

Best known for his Nekromantik soundtracks (Dir. Jörg Buttgereit), Hermann Kopp composed and recorded his new soundtrack to the 1920 classic horror film Der Golem -- a leading example of early German Expressionism by Paul Wegener. First released in 1914, three versions of this material were made, but only the 1920 version is still available. Using violin, viola and electronic/synthesizer sounds, the new score adds a more contemporary, sometimes noisy edge to the film, whilst not forgetting the esoteric and mysterious components of the Golem myth of Jewish folklore. Set in a ghetto of medieval Prague, the Golem, a clay hulk brought to life by a magic scroll implanted in his chest, is summoned as a protector and avenger. The soundtrack premiered March 7, 2025 in a Parisian cinema near Place de l'Etoile -- by invitation of Vincent Glaume (organizer of the legendary Au-delà du Silence events in France, who first proposed the idea to Kopp). It was also presented at Wroclaw Industrial Festival, Poland in October 2025. Hermann Kopp started recording songs on tape in the '70s, combining his violin with a Moog imitation in a very personal and minimal approach to music, with lyrics that bordered on surrealism. After a mini-LP in 1981 and his Pop LP of 1983, he became the fifth member of experimental synthesizer band Keine Ahnung. After a split, Kopp was contacted by filmmaker Jörg Buttgereit to participate in the scores for Nekromantik, later in Der Todesking and finally in Nekromantik 2. He has since released a string of incredible works through labels such as Galakthorrö, 4iB Records, One Way Static, and Vinyl On Demand.

As a founding member of Dublin experimental folk group Lankum, Ian Lynch explores submerged leylines of music and song. His solo project One Leg One Eye sees him taking a fresh approach to musical arrangement culminating in a sound that is more rooted in the raw aesthetics of second wave black metal than contemporary folk. Over the course of a year, Ian Lynch enjoyed the freedom of experimenting and exploring different paths of sound design without expectation or pressure. Seeking out interesting settings to record music and gather field recordings, the essence of which have seeped into the spirit of the music, Lynch explores rediscovered spaces in Dublin and familiar interior spaces. He frequently visited the abandoned warehouse where his father worked and sang with his shruti box, contented in his solitude. The result is a distinct and sometimes harrowing drone-folk atmosphere conjured throughout the album's lengthy and enveloping compositions, with an eerily beautiful, immersive sadness resonating throughout. Featuring Ian Lynch on hurdy gurdy, uilleann pipes, synth, vocals, shruti box, concertina, guitar, found sounds, and tape, with guests: Laurie Sue Shanaman (Ails, Ludicra) on vocals, and Ruth Clinton (Landless, Poor Creature) on church organ. Only available on a one-time, long sold-out CD pressing in Ireland (Nyahh Records, 2022), Cold Spring now present this incredible album with an exclusive bonus track "Sympathetic Invertebrate Ritual," recorded especially for this edition. CD in matt-laminate digipak with updated artwork.

"Joshua Abrams' Music for Pulse Meridian Foliation is the aural manifestation of an art installation described as 'an in-between space and access point to a pulsating experience that connects body and land.' Like the action of a slow-spiraling coil, the music information here revolves in dappling light, an evolution drawn slowly, magnetically forward, resonating there and back again. Deep-reaching in elemental movement, it leaves traces and echoes in the air -- and in our ears, as our own experience evolves. Joshua originally created this music as a four-channel installation to accompany Lisa Alvarado's Pulse Meridian Foliation exhibition at REDCAT in downtown Los Angeles. Written for two violas (both played by James Sanders), harmonium (Lisa), and electronics (Joshua), it was designed to play on a loop throughout the gallery's open hours between April 1 and August 20, 2023. When playing with Natural Information Society, Joshua's writing is directed toward the form of the music as uniquely occupied by the group. Here, he wrote in strict dialogue with the exhibit, responding with choices in composition, performance and production on Music for Pulse Meridian Foliation. A key interpretation of the exhibition is voiced by Josh in the hand-off of information between the two violas as they weave together from oppositional points across the sound stage. In mixing the original surround sound down to two channels, Joshua worked toward the small details from left to right, placing former residents of triangulated speaker planes in a congenial spot on our present stereo azimuth -- realizing, in the careful growth of this auricular border ecosystem, an essential aspect of the Pulse Meridian Foliation exhibit. In her exhibit, Lisa Alvarado inhabits the process of foliation, in which extreme environmental pressures upon rocks evoke a new crystallization and a changed minerality. For Alvarado personally, this is a matrix through which she can consider time and changes, specifically the politics of change, and dialogues that multiply over distinct chapters of history. On Music for Pulse Meridian Foliation, she asks, 'How does memory transform and live within the body?' and, in collaboration with Joshua Abrams, a transformation is enacted."

"Tommy Peltier's Echo Park, compiled of unheard tapes from the early/mid 1970s, brings listeners into contact with a long-extinct creature -- equal parts slinky hipster, universal soldier of the heart and snuggly loverman -- the light-rockin' tinseltown troubadour, the likes of which hasn't been served around Hollywood since 1979! Tommy's somewhere in the tuneful tradition of Rupert Holmes, Stephen Bishop, Andrew Gold, David Batteau and of course, Captain Fantastic and the Thin White Duke. His soulful songs and high-pitched vocals are paired with the requisite chopsy, jazz-enriched LA players, entrancing the ear with grooves and performances both tasty and sweet. Mixed and mastered with great zest by Jim O'Rourke, Echo Park is an encompassing trip through a whole other time and place. A trumpet player since childhood, Tommy felt no need for pop music; he'd come of age during the west coast jazz explosion of the 1950s, hearing Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker's legendary performances at The Haig Club, just a mile west of MacArthur Park. Inspired by the departures of the Ornette Coleman Quartet, he founded The Jazz Corps in 1963, gigging all around town, including a residency at Hermosa Beach's also-legendary Lighthouse. In '68, he met aspiring singer/songwriter Judee Sill. He found her energy amazing, as she played bass in a group he was sitting in with, and it quickly became clear -- he and Judee were in tune! When Tommy picked up the guitar and started writing songs, she was there with help and encouragement. As the '70s dawned, Tommy was turning 35, but he was also turning the page, like so many others, to find something amazing there on the other side. Amazing music things flow freely up and down the tracklist of Echo Park. Inspired by Yes, Supertramp, ELO, Queen, Bowie, The Beatles and others, Tommy developed and honed his new music throughout the '70s. A handful of the cuts here were recorded between 1970 and '73, just a mile from Echo Park Lake, at an unassuming rear house set back in the hills. Other tracks were recorded at sessions in Hollywood in 1975 and '76, at now-obscure studios like Music Grinder and Heritage. Tommy's first pop band, Jasmine, appear on 'Here Today'. Tommy has continued to play music, releasing new stuff with Plastic Theatre Art Band in 1996, and a number of releases under his own name, most recently in 2011."

The first ever official release by this legendary Melbourne post-punk band who only ever existed for a number of months in 1978, but who cast an important and influential light in Australian (and global!) music, influencing the likes of the Boys Next Door/Birthday Party and The Models, the group's membership and its diaspora reading like a who's-who of crucial Australian music of the past 50 years. In the band was a young Rowland S. Howard, who would soon go onto join the BND/Birthday Party; Ollie Olsen (Whirlywirld, No, Max Q, Dogs In Space soundtrack and so much more); Janine Hall (Saints; Weddings, Parties, Anything) and Jeffrey Wegener (drummer extraordinaire for the Laughing Clowns and the Saints, among others). The Young Charlatans recorded a demo with Ron Rude, and also surviving is a live recording from the Tiger Lounge in Richmond. With help from band manager Bruce Milne, Eminent Vinyl have sourced these two recordings to make up this LP, mixing the best of the both to document 45 minutes of inspired music as young players were still grappling with the fallout of punk rock, and wishing to push the music further into more experimental and adventurous directions. Contained here are 13 original songs composed by Rowland and/or Ollie -- including an early version of Howard's defining track, "Shivers" -- remastered by Mikey Young and featuring extensive liner notes by author and friend/fan of the band, Clinton Walker. With photos, articles and ephemera provided by Bruce Milne and Phil Morland, it is housed in stunning artwork and design by Luke Fraser, including a four-page booklet.

Far Out Recordings presents Ladeiras De Santa Teresa, the debut collaboration between Rio-jazz maverick Antonio Neves and carioca percussion master Thiaguinho Silva. In what could well be the first ever Brazilian jazz album centered around two drummers, Ladeiras De Santa Teresa is an uncompromisingly groove-rich recording, steeped in trad-samba roots and brass power. Since his acclaimed 2021 album A Pegada Agora E Esssa Antonio Neves has remained a mainstay of the international facing Brazilian scene, performing both as a trombonist and drummer. His instrumental contributions to contemporary classics like Ana Frango Eletrico's Little Electric Chicken Heart, Bruno Berle's No Reino Dos Afetos 2, and Bala Desejo's Sim Sim Sim will be marveled upon by future generations. His partner in crime Thiaguinho Silva happens to be the son of percussion icon Robertinho Silva, who has played on more or less every canonical Brazilian record. Thiaguinho himself has worked with Marcelo D2, Gal Costa, Liniker and Alice Caymmi, and upon listening to Ladeiras De Santa Teresa, it's clear that Thiaguinho is more than a worthy successor to carry the Silva family torch. This synergized combo continues across the album, notably on "Fendas Vocais" with Neves doubling up on drums, exhibiting his inventive and fearless skill as an arranger. The album also features street-artist, musician and rapper Joca, adding vocalized dynamism and swagger to an otherwise entirely instrumental record on "Viagem de Trem". The album's title Ladeiras De Santa Teresa (The hills of Santa Teresa) is named in tribute to Rio De Janeiro's famed Santa Teresa neighborhood, a bohemian enclave with scenic views of the iconic cityscape. The spirit of Santa Teresa with its expansive city views and bustling energy is embodied in the album which encapsulates the jazz and samba histories felt within the neighborhood's windy alleyways and cobbled streets.

"In a bid to escape real world news, Nashville-via-Romford pedal steel master Spencer Cullum holed himself up in his shed to complete his Coin Collection trilogy. Leaning on his musical community for company (Rich Ruth, Oisin Leech, Allison De Groot, Erin Rae, Annie Williams, Dominic Billett, Jim Hoke) who sent in recordings that he then pulled together in his make shift garden studio. The result is a much more stripped-down album -- a kaleidoscope of languid blues, psychedelic country and sleepy folk, that thematically leans on British folklore and the resistance of nature. File next to Ted Lucas, Iain Matthews, and Robert Wyatt. A student of B.J. Cole, Spencer has played/plays pedal steel for Angel Olsen, Kesha, Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert, Caitlin Rose, and more."

Savvas Christodoulou was born in Cyprus in 1949 and moved to Melbourne in 1950 as part of the great wave of Greek immigration following WW2. His story is long, involved and fascinating, and the liner notes and interview contained within the LP's four-page insert tells the whole story. Perhaps more briefly, what you need to know is that he released the Savvas studio LP in 1974 in an edition of 300 copies, and enjoyed such a strong local following that he sold out the 2,000-seat-capacity Dallas Brooks Hall two years later. The album has long been a collector's item for its unique and beguiling mix of Greek and Middle Eastern sounds, bouzouki jams, modal jazz and especially the cult synth-funk track "A Dream Of Zeus." Golden Debris was set to reissue the LP as it was, but surprisingly came across the original reels from the Dallas Brooks Hall show and decided that mixing the best of the studio and live material was a better option. Some of the live materials are tracks previously unreleased, like the cosmic synth wonder of "UFO," the quirky electronica of "Can You Remember" and the extended piece, "Space Dream," which slowly and beautifully evolves into a spacious, hypnotic jazz jam, and yes, there are three versions of "Zeus" here, the original studio version, reprise and live one, but they're all wildly different and all worth hearing. The four-page booklet is beautifully designed with exclusive photos and an extensive interview with Savvas telling his life story. The studio material features contributions from a young Nicholas Aitkin AKA Wilbur Wilde on saxophone, and Celeste Howden of Lygon Street punk rock and rollers, Stiletto, on bass. A very special slice of Australian music history is reborn!

"I started writing the songs for V at the beginning of 2023, and the demos were finished by the end of that year. While creating this material, I kept returning to one thought: everything we take for granted -- everything that feels stable and permanent -- is, in reality, incredibly fragile. Nothing lasts forever, and the sense of things slipping away can hit much sooner than we expect. I tried to translate those feelings into sound. At that time, a lot of difficult things were happening in my life, things I didn't know how to cope with. Music became a form of therapy -- a way to process emotions I couldn't express in any other way. In early 2024, we began working through the songs together as a full band. After finalizing the arrangements, we spent the rest of the year recording them. The process stretched over many months, split into several sessions across different studios. I didn't want to rush anything. I wanted, as always, to refine every detail the best we possibly could." --Weedpecker. Also available on black vinyl (HPS 376CD), magenta vinyl (HPS 376LTD-LP), and blue/red color vinyl (HPS 376ULTRA-LP).

LP version. "I started writing the songs for V at the beginning of 2023, and the demos were finished by the end of that year. While creating this material, I kept returning to one thought: everything we take for granted -- everything that feels stable and permanent -- is, in reality, incredibly fragile. Nothing lasts forever, and the sense of things slipping away can hit much sooner than we expect. I tried to translate those feelings into sound. At that time, a lot of difficult things were happening in my life, things I didn't know how to cope with. Music became a form of therapy -- a way to process emotions I couldn't express in any other way. In early 2024, we began working through the songs together as a full band. After finalizing the arrangements, we spent the rest of the year recording them. The process stretched over many months, split into several sessions across different studios. I didn't want to rush anything. I wanted, as always, to refine every detail the best we possibly could." --Weedpecker.

Carlos Dafé (born October 25, 1947) is a singer and songwriter from Rio de Janeiro, recognized as one of the iconic voices of the Brazilian samba-soul era. Born into a family of musicians and trained at the conservatory, he rose to prominence in the 1970s alongside Tim Maia, Cassiano, and Hyldon, shaping the sound of Rio Noir with his warm baritone voice and soulful phrasing. His 1977 album, Pra Que Vou Recordar, became a cult classic among collectors and DJs worldwide, earning him the title of "Prince of Brazilian Soul." Still active today, Carlos Dafé remains an essential reference for artists exploring the boundaries between samba, soul, and MPB (Brazilian Popular Music). Released in 1977, Pra Que Vou Recordar reveals Carlos Dafé at the peak of his art, blending samba-soul, MPB, and the warm groove of the 1970s Rio de Janeiro scene. Surrounded by some of the city's finest musicians, Dafé showcases his baritone voice in deeply melodic arrangements and a series of songs that have become fan favourites. An album imbued with soul and elegance. The sound of Brazilian Black music at its most sincere and timeless.

Luiz Bonfá (1922-2001) is one of Brazil's most influential guitarists and composers. An iconic figure of the bossa nova movement, he helped introduce Brazilian music to the world in the late 1950s and 1960s. Bonfá achieved international fame for his work on Black Orpheus, a film that won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film. Trained in classical guitar, he developed a highly personal style, combining technical precision with profound lyricism. His music bridges Brazilian rhythms, jazz harmonies, and classical sensibilities. Beyond his celebrated bossa nova works, albums like Introspection reveal a more intimate and introspective side of his art. First released in 1972, Introspection is considered one of Luiz Bonfá's finest and most accomplished recordings. Recorded almost entirely solo, the album reveals a rare intimacy, great precision, and intense emotional depth. Bonfá's virtuosity shines through in every note, blending classical technique with Brazilian rhythm with profound expressiveness. Long unavailable on vinyl, this reissue marks the first official release on this format in decades. Subtle, powerful, and timeless, Introspection stands as a quiet masterpiece of solo guitar music.

Coke clear vinyl version. "Several years in the making, Lion can now finally deliver on its promise of another Groove Club volume dedicated to the deep and moving (and grooving) compositions of Sinn Sisamouth, sung by the Emperor of Khmer music himself, alone or duetting with the other legendary singer of those halcyon days in Cambodian music: Ros Sereysothea, the 'Queen with the Golden Voice.' Groove Club Vol. 5 also includes a 16-page booklet featuring an exclusive interview with Mrs. Khav Thong Nhot, widow of Sinn Sisamouth, and Sin Sethsochhata, artist and granddaughter of Sinn Sisamouth, revealing more about Sinn Sisamouth than has ever been known before now. Readers hear directly from his wife about their courtship, their life together as Sinn Sisamouth became famous -- and then what happened as the Khmer Rouge took control: the separation from her husband, and her own harrowing experiences trying to keep herself and their children alive. It's not easy reading, yet stands as an important contribution to a story which until now has only been partially told. Sinn Sisamouth's granddaughter, Sin Sethsochhata, a musical artist and also keeper of the family's legacy, speaks of her own experiences in both realms. Sinn Sisamouth is, without question, the most famous and beloved Cambodian singer and songwriter of all time. A brilliant singer and composer, 'the Emperor of Khmer music' has had a greater influence and has touched more hearts than any other singer in the country's history. Though he was tragically taken from this world, his soul, spirit, and emotions are echoed in the legacy of songs he bequeathed to the world, and for this reason, he is eternal. The fact that any of this music even exists today is nothing short of miraculous. Original vinyl is extremely rare -- and well-guarded! Lion has done its utmost to make the sound quality of the songs as good as can be without in any way treating or disrupting or limiting (or destroying) the frequency range of the tracks. This means that a few tracks might sound less than audiophile quality. But who cares! It's about the music. It's always about the music. And the stories. Mostly the music. Although this time, very much about the stories too. Official reissue -- and in most cases, first appearance of any kind -- of these insanely rare recordings since their initial release as singles."

Blue vinyl version. Alle Sorgenti Delle Civiltà Vol. 3: Africa, Australia, Nuova Zelanda (1971) is the third and final chapter of a triptych of folk-based sound recordings released by Folkmusic. The album contains a total of fourteen tracks by Braen and Raskovich, i.e. the formidable multi-instrumentalists Alessandro Alessandroni and Giuliano Sorgini, each grappling with seven different compositions characterized by a tribal mood. Among the grooves of this record, repressed on vinyl for the first time by Musica Per Immagini, it is possible to discern an in-depth study of one of those forms of popular culture referring to a specific geographic area, comprising the types of traditions often handed down orally and concerning knowledge, beliefs, fairy tales, legends, myths, narratives linked to the dimension of the fantastic, customs and traditions, namely music. Festivals and propitiatory rites, fights and dances, magical and sacred representations were all expressions of life whose sound and rhythm contributed to an appropriate description of the environment. Alessandro Alessandroni and Giuliano Sorgini have chosen some of the most significant musical characters that even belong to specific ethnic realities scattered across two distant continents, where the use of some of the typical instruments has favored the realization of sonorities of considerable interest.

The Gaia ll Space Corps is an album of tunes that don't quite sound like heavy metal or hard rock, but clearly is reaching for some of the same qualities. It is post-psychedelic, pre-metal music, and is probably as close to making a true blue "classic hard rock" album Motorpsycho ever will come. The Gaia ll Space Corps is a short, concise, catchy and exciting album, continuing where Motorpsycho's Stanley and The Comeback left off. The instrumentation is mostly guitars, guitars and some more guitars, but there is quite a bit of singing in there too, and even an occasional keyboard sound or two as well.

Bristol duo Pume Orenge unspool a world of spectral electronica from cassette loops and instrumental improvisation on their debut album Angel By Milo for Odda Recordings. It is a world that opens draped in ferric hiss. A fog of sound, dense and yet not quite there, catching the light in strange shades and ambient drifts. Looping and receding, looping and receding, as pucks of static burst like faraway fireworks on a cold winter's night. Sound sources obscured, ambiguous, not quite what they seem. Angel By Milo takes its lead from the analogue process and textures by which it was made. Percussive and melodic loops were established, manipulated and responded to with instrumental improvisation, in a give-and-take with the materiality of the medium. Across these seven intricately developed tracks, the sound fluctuates between the cinematic and the introspective, at times melancholy, at others verging on a kind of restrained anger, before the calm sets in once more. It is music for the small hours, awash with the grainy stuff of memory. Embedded within Bristol's independent scene, Pume Orenge's quiet debut also speaks to the duo's shared roots in the area, and like many of Odda's previous releases, contains a sensitivity to place and atmosphere, even when these are no more than implied. Angel By Milo builds on the DIY ethos of Pume Orenge's 2023 self-titled debut EP, whose tracks were recorded live in single takes, now honing a more intentional, purposeful approach to music making. It is one in which layers of meaning are allowed to reveal themselves, a way of composing that makes a virtue of its labor and the chance occurrences that can arise in the process. This is music in praise of shadows.

Hidden Spheres is a Rhythm Section mainstay for a reason: having released three EPs on the label, he has developed his sound and fully emerged into a flow state. Delivering five tracks that master dancefloor tension, it's difficult to pick a stand out. "Come On, Yeh" harks back to the New Jersey House sound with dubby organ chord stabs and punchy 909 drums and a sublime bongo loop. "Don't You Wanna" welcomes the house dancers, with a low-slung, heavily swung groove, resampled pads, and a deep spoken refrain that gives the track its title. "Get Down" hits the subs, with unmistakably phat bass, moody strings and broad use of the iconic M1 organ bass patch "Organ2". Followed by "I Feel Good" brings police sirens, 808s and swirling pads. The final track "You Don't Know", takes things down a notch, but maintaining the sublime tension with classic house piano chords.

Originally released on the Black Eye label in 1988, Paddock Of Love was the Sydney band's second LP and the first to really feature a more stable line-up, which included Guy Maddison (future Mudhoney bassist), Nick Barker (future pop star!), Peter Hartley and, of course, the man who drove the engine, Stu Spasm. Around the time of its release, the band were invited to play on Andrew Denton's nationally-televised TV show on the ABC, Blah Blah Blah, and played the opening barnstormer, "In The Raw," fully nude, causing an uproar in the tabloids. It was a fun time to be alive, and shot the band into the national consciousness of confected outrage for a few weeks. What's more important is this recording, which is a glorious collection of scungey 'n' grungey rock 'n' roll degeneracy in the finest sense of such words. It is filled with killer tracks like "Funeral On A Spit", "Gargoyles" and "Cannibal's Lament", sounding focused, purposeful and like a real BAND. Paddock Of Love has been out of circulation for 30+ years, and in this edition, Sorcerer also include a huge foldout poster with a reproduction of the cover on one side, and lyrics and new liner notes from Stu on the other side, as well as outraged articles from the time, press clippings, etc. The cover shown here is the Censored Version (spot the difference!), so that it can stay on the internet and not get taken down, though the real product is the real, uncensored deal.

Tim Maia's self-titled 1973 album is one of those records that hits you from the very first groove and doesn't let go. Originally released on Polydor Brazil, this was the fourth in a series of Tim's self-titled albums -- and many fans and critics still consider it the crown jewel. Packed with irresistible hooks, lush arrangements, and that unmistakable Tim Maia swagger, the album captures the singer at the peak of his creative powers. If you're new to Tim Maia, here's the quick story: born in Rio de Janeiro, Tim was a larger-than-life icon whose music married American soul and funk with Brazilian samba and pop long before "fusion" was a buzzword. A true musical polymath, he absorbed everything from Curtis Mayfield to Motown and translated it into a sound entirely his own -- gritty, passionate, and full of groove. He didn't just introduce soul to Brazil; he made it Brazilian. On this 1973 release, Tim pushes everything up a notch. The arrangements are bigger, slicker, and surprisingly majestic, without losing the raw spirit that earned him a devoted following. From the moment "Réu Confesso" opens the album, you know you're in for something special -- smooth, funky, and heartfelt in all the right ways. The bittersweet "Gostava Tanto de Você" remains one of his most beloved classics, while "O Balanço" bursts with Brazilian flavor that practically dares you not to move. And with tracks like "Do Your Thing, Behave Yourself" and "Over Again," Tim shows just how naturally the soul idiom fit him, even when he switched to English. This record has everything: deep grooves, soaring strings, magnetic vocals, and that unmistakable sense of joy that Tim Maia carried into every session. It's a front-to-back winner -- one of those albums that deserves a spot not just in Brazilian music history, but in any collection that celebrates great soul, funk, and timeless grooves. If you're a longtime fan, it's a reminder of why Tim Maia is legendary. If you're discovering him for the first time, this is the perfect place to start. Either way: press play, turn it up, and let Tim do his thing. Reissue on 180g vinyl.

Jorge Ben is someone who needs no introduction. Since his first hits in the early '60s, this the greatest icons of the greatest icons of Brazilian pop music. His anthems "Mais Que Nada" or "Pais Tropical" are among two of the most ever listened Brazilian songs of all time. Ben's self-titled 1969 album is a true samba-soul masterpiece from one of Brazil's most creative voices. This isn't your typical late-'60s LP: Jorge Ben blends the hypnotic swing of samba with funk, psychedelia, and sun-soaked soul in a way that feels both classic and ahead of its time. Released in November 1969, this was Jorge Ben's sixth studio record, and his first back with the Philips label after a creative hiatus. He recorded it with the tight-knit, percussive groove of Trio Mocotó -- whose rhythms lock in beautifully with Ben's laid-back guitar and vocals. On top of that, the album features lush orchestral arrangements from José Briamonte and Rogério Duprat, adding a soaring, psychedelic dimension to Ben's sound. Standout tracks? You've got the joyous anthem "País Tropical," a perfect celebration of Brazilian life. Then there's "Take It Easy My Brother Charles," a socially conscious number that tells the story of a rebellious sailor -- Ben weaves in themes of race, identity, and resilience. And songs like "Que Pena" bring in that sweet, soulful melancholy, while breezy cuts like "Criola," "Domingas," and "Barbarella" highlight his playful, poetic side. This record is a rare blend of genres -- samba, soul, funk, psychedelia -- and it's got a timeless energy. Whether you're already into Brazilian music or just looking for something fresh and soulful, Jorge Ben's 1969 album is a joyous entry point. Reissue on 180g vinyl.

2LP gatefold vinyl. The first volume of Flamenco-Jazz aims to showcase this unique style that has proven to be a bridge of communication and dialogue between flamenco and jazz musicians, creating an inimitable sound that is constantly evolving and transcending barriers. This style had already found some points of convergence in the seminal works of Ramón Montoya, Lionel Hampton, and Pedro Iturralde many years before their definitive convergence. Starting with a 1978 recording by Dolores, featuring Paco de Lucía, which later led to the formation of her legendary sextet with musicians who had participated in this recording. The beginning of a musical encounter and a new language that began to develop and materialize, as if it were a round trip, saw many of these musicians reunite to celebrate the music of Paco de Lucía on another seminal album, 10 de Paco. From this album come a track by two pioneers of the genre, Chano Domínguez and Jorge Pardo, without whose presence on the vinyl this collection would have been meaningless, and who appear twice. Of course, this first volume wouldn't be complete without masters like Josemi Carmona, Pedro Ojesto, and Marc Miralta. Vinilos Enlace also invite you to read the song credits to see the musicians who participated, including names like Carles Benavent, Javier Colina, Tino Di Geraldo, Perico Sambeat, Guillermo McGill, and Jerry González, from whom the label has recovered one of his earliest recordings with flamenco artists, his collaboration with Diego Amador. Also included are incredible flamenco singers of the caliber of Conchi Heredia, La Tremendita, Israel Fernández, El Mati, David Carpio, and Rafael Vargas "El Chino." And of course, a new generation of names that have elevated the genre to its current status, such as flautists Trinidad Jiménez and Sergio De Lope, Juanfe Pérez, and Juan Pérez Rodríguez from Huelva, Pablo Martín Caminero from Vitoria, and Miquel Álvarez from Valencia. Not forgetting innovators like Antonio Lizana and Enriquito, who are crossing borders and sharing their unique style.

WRWTFWW Records presents the release of Renga, the new collaborative album from Gak Sato and Tadahiko Yokogawa -- available on limited edition LP (300 copies worldwide) housed in a heavyweight sleeve with inside out print of a beautiful artwork by Aoi Huber Kono. Renga is a genre of Japanese collaborative poetry in which alternating stanzas, or ku, of 5-7-5 and 7-7 morae (sound units or syllables per line) are linked in succession by multiple poets. Inspired by the traditional Japanese poetic form of linked verses, Renga unfolds as a fluid ten-track journey spanning ambient, jazz, breakbeats, electronica, environmental music, techno, cinematic, library music, and musique concrète. Much like its literary namesake, the album is built on intuition and shared momentum, each piece emerging from what came before while opening new paths forward. Beats appear, disappear, then reassemble, while textures shift between organic warmth and electronic abstraction. The result is music that resists fixed categorization, existing somewhere between known subgenres and free-form exploration. The album's visual counterpart, created by Aoi Huber Kono, mirrors the sensibility of the music. It's elegant, modern, and quietly expressive, extending the idea of linked forms from sound into image.

Paperback. 150 pages. "One of the towering figures of 20th-century art holds forth on his controversial life and career in a previously unpublished set of interviews. Over six sessions between September 1951 and November 1952, Marcel Duchamp sat down with collectors and gallerists Harriet and Sidney Janis for a wide-ranging conversation about his inspirations and working processes, and his many opinions on the workings of the modern art world and its histories. The Janises, owners of the influential Sidney Janis Gallery, were ardent supporters of modern art and close friends with Duchamp. Harriet, an accomplished author, led the interviews with an eye toward writing a monograph on Duchamp, though this was never realized. Now, this previously unknown chronicle is available for the first time through the efforts of Carroll Janis, Sidney and Harriet's son. Under Harriet's expert guidance, Duchamp holds forth on his artistic philosophies, his career, his friends, his rivals and his lifelong obsession with chess. He provides an inside look at some of his most famous works, from his controversial 'Readymades' to 'The Large Glass.' Contextualized with illustrations, annotations and an introduction by Carroll Janis, this publication is a rich treasure trove of information on one of the 20th century's most controversial, groundbreaking and larger-than-life artists. Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968) dismantled the boundaries of what constitutes a work of art. Although he began his career as a painter, Duchamp was also a curator, conservator, art advisor, professional chess player, writer, inventor and celebrity. Following the completion of his conceptual masterpiece, 'The Large Glass' (1915-23), he abandoned traditional artmaking altogether. Today he is best known for his 'Readymades' -- ordinary objects such as a urinal or bicycle wheel, elevated to works of art -- which challenged traditional aesthetics and redefined authorship."

Zos Kia's music is an essential insight and archival piece into the early work of the industrial scene and particularly of Coil in their formative stages. Their recordings are even darker and more industrial-rooted than much of the Coil material that followed. The music is primal, brutal and reveals the interests that surrounded Coil/Zos Kia. John Gosling was an original member of Zos Kia (as Joan D'Arc), alongside John Balance (Coil) and Min. This trio, together with Peter Christopherson (TG, Coil) and other guests, recorded and performed in the early 1980s under the names Zos Kia/Coil, including the "Performance Action" (involving blood and flesh cutting) at the Air Gallery in London in August 1983 and a performance at the Berlin Atonal festival in December 1983. The latter comprised one side of the transparent cassette issued by the now defunct Austrian label Nekrophile in 1984, which became the first released recordings of both Coil and Zos Kia. It was reissued years later by Coil (Threshold House/Eskaton) and included the Coil manifesto The Price of Existence Is Eternal Warfare, originally written by John Balance in 1983, in which numerous references that inspired their future work can already be found. The name "Zos Kia" had been taken from the magickal system of occult artist Austin Osman Spare although John Gosling never really seemed too occult-fixated, AOS was a great source of inspiration for Coil's members. In 1984, Balance and Christopherson left to concentrate on Coil full-time. All material released under the Zos Kia name alone was primarily the work of John Gosling. After retiring the Zos Kia name, Gosling went on to record with Sugardog, Psychic TV and work solo as Sugar J and Mekon. Debuting in 1994 with Phatty's Lunchbox, Gosling pioneered the blueprint for the dance music popularized years later by the Prodigy and Chemical Brothers: breakbeat trip-hop invested with a lot of energy and old-school attitude.

Electrifying heavy sessions recorded in 1997 featuring the classic Mainliner + Musica Transonic lineup of Nanjo Asahito (High Rise), Kawabata Makoto (Acid Mother) and Yoshida Tatsuya (Ruins) driving into new divergently fried terrain(s). Here, Nanjo and co. are on a quest to find new directions, and while the sessions were for an abandoned Mainliner album, a good portion of Solid Static hews more closely to the moment-to-moment deconstructions of Musica Transonic. The propulsive ten-minute opening title track is a lost gem in the canon of Japanese psychedelia and rock and roll -- beginning with one of Mainliner's bludgeoning motor-psycho riffs, it veers off into auratic space, Kawabata's snake-charming guitar weaving around Nanjo's buzz-fire bass and Yoshida's multi-limbed drumming. Musica Transonic's improvised and jazz-informed take on psychedelic rock is writ across the distended rhythms and arcing bass and guitar lines that scrawl across "Prosecutor" and "Topsy Turvy," or the slurry of distorted tone that rolls through "Rot Way." Available for the first time on LP or any physical form aside from a clutch of CDR's sold at a few live dates in the late '90s. Housed in a custom die-cut, "Uni-Pak" style gatefold with metallic ink, spot finishes and matching La Musica inner sleeve.

A chance meeting in Mexico City set Points of Inaccessibility into motion. When Ibero-American composer Rafael Anton Irisarri crossed paths with Dutch media artist Jaco Schilp at MUTEK in 2024, a conversation about how technology shapes perception revealed an unexpected common ground. Schilp invited Irisarri to a spring 2025 residency at Uncloud, the Utrecht-based collective he co-founded, where Irisarri's sound began to take form amid an environment shaped by Schilp's visual research. The Uncloud studio was located inside the former Pieter Baan Centre, a forensic psychiatric prison where suspects of violent crimes were once confined. Its long history of silence and containment shaped the atmosphere in which the project developed. Within this setting, Irisarri coaxed long bowed-guitar tones through a network of pedals and looping systems. The raw gestures thickened into a vaporous and architectural field of sound. Schilp processed the material through a custom point-cloud software patch that produced images in continuous flux. The visuals flickered, dissolved and reformed like memories that resist coherence, functioning as a digital Rorschach that reflected the observer's own perception. Amid these spectral echoes, the project evolved into an examination of how the past persists within present signals. Irisarri improvised throughout the residency, generating material that allowed the visuals to develop in parallel. Once back in his New York studio, he began shaping the recordings by carving pathways through the improvisations and mapping selected passages into MIDI. This process allowed him to build outward from the bowed-guitar material with minimal overdubs, adding Prophet 5 textures, Moog bass and strings that expanded the harmonic field while keeping the original performances at the center. To refine the structure, Abul Mogard provided editorial input, working with Irisarri's stems to guide transitions and strengthen the overall pacing. What emerges is a work that examines the tension between technological systems and human presence. Points of Inaccessibility asks whether connection is still possible within environments shaped by mediation and delay, or whether we have become isolated points within the very networks that promise proximity. Points of Inaccessibility is presented on BioVinyl. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu. Artwork by Jaco Schilp. Design and layout by Daniel Castrejón.

"Loud Ambient 2 picks up directly from where Loud Ambient (DUST 135LP) left off. After picking the drum machines back up, we returned to the colorfield ideas that shaped the first record. Rothko remained a key reference, along- side a strong recommendation to spend time with the work of Josef Albers. We did exactly that, and it paid off. Alongside the music, we created 50 new pieces of artwork for Loud Ambient 2. These became tools rather than decorations. Working this way felt open and rewarding, and brought a real sense of play back into the process. We already understood what a Loud Ambient track could be, so slipping back into that headspace felt natural. The tracks came together quickly, full of energy, movement and that familiar noodle quality. The creative side landed easily this time. There is something about working with colorfields that frees you up and pushes you further into abstraction. It removes hesitation and keeps the focus on instinct and response. With the drum machines and synths loaded, we kept our heads down and made the kind of music we want to hear on a dance floor. Loud Ambient 2 is the result." --The Black Dog

Soft Echoes presents the first physical edition of In a Few Places Along the River by Abul Mogard as a limited run of 500 vinyl copies. Originally released digitally in 2022, the album now appears in its intended form, marking the label's second release. Three long pieces, composed between 2019 and 2022, emerged from Mogard's meticulous experimentation with analogue and digital instruments. Slowly evolving harmonic fields of layered drones and spectral textures drift across the record. They are enhanced by reverb from Scotland's Inchindown oil tanks, which hold the longest reverberation of any man-made structure, giving the music a haunting resonance and a sense of suspended space. "Against a White Cloud" and "In True Contemplation" open the album with their nocturnal tones that gradually intensify into dense, immersive waves of sound. Side B is devoted to the 21-minute elegiacal piece "Along the River," which flows between weight and silence, unfolding with reflective depth and moments of subtle transcendence. "Recording for this album began in 2019, when I was still living in London," Mogard explains. "The first version of 'Along the River' was created at my studio near Brick Lane. It started with experimenting around a chord progression inspired by a classical piece I had once been recommended, though, strangely enough, I no longer recall what it was. Early in 2022, I revealed the identity behind Abul Mogard and wanted to mark this new period, so I decided to release it quickly, by myself, as digital-only." After returning to Rome, Mogard created the other two pieces, working with new digital instruments alongside his modular synthesizer, and integrated recordings from the London sessions. The music reveals a patient attention to texture and space, defining his usual restraint. Described by critics as one of Mogard's most melancholic and absorbing releases, the album maintains an austere beauty and contemplative weight, leaving a lingering impression that lasts far beyond the final note. The music has extended beyond the album itself, with tracks appearing in films and contemporary artworks. Most notably, Swedish artist Peder Bjurman's "Slow Walker" audiovisual installation and French filmmaker Fleuryfontaine's politically charged animated film Soixante-sept millisecondes. Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri and cut to vinyl by Lupo, the record emphasizes the clarity and depth of Mogard's frequencies, with each layer precisely balanced. The cover artwork and design are by Marja de Sanctis, who has collaborated with Abul since his first cassette release in 2012.

By popular demand, Far Out present Estatica -- remastered edition of the classic 2010 album from the original Rio beach boy Marcos Valle. Evoking his Carioca sound -- where expansive orchestral sweep meets beautiful melody and complex harmony -- Valle mixes perfect romantic bossa-pop with cinematic brass and strings. This recording explores a six-decade career that has swung between pop, bossa nova, delicate psychedelia, jazz, and funk. Responsible for bossa classic "Summer Samba (So Nice)" Valle has collaborated with Leon Ware, Sarah Vaughan, and Chicago; seen his track "Ele E Ela" sampled by Jay Z for Blueprint 3; and his songs recorded by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Bebel Gilberto. Many of these tracks sound strangely familiar, as if you've always known them, fresher and more immediate than ever in Valle's modern renaissance on Far Out Recordings. This album -- Valle's fourth original recording for Far Out -- features standout compositions including the instant classic "Vamos Sambar," the infectious jazz of "Baião Maracatú," and the stunning duets and brass of "Papo De Maluco." Valle's cinematic orchestral "Novo Acorde" and the rich psych incidentals show that Valle is as creatively inspired -- by Rio, music, and a lifetime of travel touring the globe -- as he ever was as the original Ipanema beach poet. Produced by Daniel Maunick (son of Bluey, Incognito); recorded, mixed, and co- produced by David Brinkworth (Harmonic 33); and with Marcos' unparalleled arrangements, aided by horn and string arrangements by Jesse Sedoc Vocals, Valle is brought back with a widescreen bang. A modern classic that's been long out of print, Marcos Valle is reissuing Estatica. Originally released in 2010, Estatica saw Marcos effortlessly dive back into the sound of his golden era while upholding his long-standing openness to modern production techniques.

I Made It All Up For You is the new record by Hugo Race Fatalists, their sixth studio album. In his 40-year career, Hugo Race has lived a thousand lives and played the role of songwriter, producer, musician, performer, head of a record label (Helixed). His music went from folk to lounge, from "trance industrial blues" to psychedelia, from world music to electronics. Starting from post-punk Melbourne in the 1980s, he took fascinating paths that led him from Africa to Turkey, from Berlin to Romagna. Hugo Race returns after highly successful collaborative albums with Michelangelo Russo, The Church frontman Steve Kilbey, and Gianni Maraccolo with I Made It All Up For You, an epic album with his Italian band Fatalists -- existential songwriting framed by the band's signature fusion of roots music, electronica, Italian soundtracks and desert rock. CD comes in digipak sleeve and includes 12-page booklet (with lyrics). LP is 180g black in black polylined innersleeve and includes download code stickered on the innersleeve. Comes in matt-laminated 350g cover with insert inside.

"In 1996, The Wedding Present released Mini -- an EP featuring six tracks that all had connections to motoring. Almost thirty years on, David Gedge has revisited the concept with Maxi, a brand-new, six-track EP which is again loosely based around the theme of driving. Although Maxi follows the same concept as Mini, the current model of The Wedding Present's vehicle is discernibly grander, with Gedge hinting that guitarist Rachael Wood -- who was new to the band at the time of writing - might be one of the reasons why. 'Scream, If You Want To Go Faster' -- the opening track -- mesmerizes with a slow-building, post-rock feel before it revs up to set the EP's tone and flows into the infectious riff of 'Grand Prix' -- itself driven forward by the complexities of Wood's playing. 'Hot Wheels' and 'Two For The Road' -- tracks three and four -- are unmistakably Wedding Present. Gedge's urgent guitar playing and lyrics shine their headlights on the challenges of the heart, and allow the listener to return to terra firma with a more familiar sound that effortlessly stands alongside classic Wedding Present releases. 'Interceptor' -- track five -- is steered by the bass until a roaring guitar and pounding drums shift gears to bring the listener back full circle to the post-rock feel of Maxi's opening track. Crossing the EP's finishing line is the epic 'Silver Shadow', another track that shifts in tempo, evoking a feeling of tenderness alongside the elated emotion of finding the one. Maxi undoubtedly takes the listener on a journey. This really is The Wedding Present at their creative best, pushing both the boundaries of their sound and the expectations of the listener, while the lyrics provocatively paint pictures in a way that only David Gedge can manage. This version is the red vinyl indie exclusive variant."

Approaching Doom is the third album by Monsternaut, a darker and heavier representation of the band's established devotion to groovy riffs and to the point compositions. The songs took shape over several years, during which the arrival of a new drummer opened the door to more adventurous rhythms and riff ideas, pushing the band into new territory while staying true to their roots. Sonically, the album leans toward the grit and weight of early '90s metal rather than polished modern production, giving it a raw and immediate edge. Its lyrics and atmosphere follow a naturally darker direction as well, adding an extra layer of tension beneath the grooves. Recorded entirely the old-fashioned way, straight to analog tape with no digital editing, it captures the band playing as they are, relying on performance, chemistry, and feel rather than correction. Also available on black vinyl (HPS 382LP), transparent yellow vinyl (HPS 382LTD-LP), and white/red/black splatter color vinyl (HPS 382ULTRA-LP).

With Halage, Frànçois & The Atlas Mountains continues his voyage between dream and reality. Following the more contemplative Âge Fleuve (IF 1095CD), this new album is grounded in the present -- carried by an electronic pulse and enriched by multiple collaborations (Clara Luciani, Yasmine Hamdan, David Numwami, Ëda Diaz). Blending indie pop, dream pop, and folktronica, Halage evokes movement, memory, and the flowing currents of life -- a continuous stream where voices, synths, and organic percussion merge. Conceived as a journey along the waterways, the album moves against the tide of cynicism, tracing the thread of human emotion. Recorded between Le Château Vert and the Péniche Adélaïde, it balances fragility, warmth, and luminous resilience.

Welcome to the Ska Beat!, the sound that came from Jamaica between 1961-1967. Based on the American R&B and doo-wop records that the sound systems in Kingston Town used to play. The American records style started to mellow out while the Jamaicans preferred a more upbeat sound. So, to meet this demand the sound system bosses became record producers to cater for this demand. Sir Coxsone, Duke Reid lead the way by putting the top musicians on the Island in the studio to make this ska sound! Here for your enjoyment is a selection of some of the top tunes that made ska so great. Features The Skatalites, Johnny Moore, and Roland Alphonso. CD version includes two bonus tracks.

With News from Planet Zombie, The Notwist return to view after years of exploration and experiment with an album rich in both melancholy and positivity, sketched across a suite of thrilling, fiercely committed pop songs. It's an album reflecting a chaotic world, but responding with warmth and generosity, to achieve creative and spiritual consolidation. Recorded in their home base of Munich, it reconnects with the security of the local to explore the troubles of the global: a guiding impulse writ large across this album's eleven songs. For News from Planet Zombie, the core trio of Markus and Micha Acher and Cico Beck embraced the plural possibilities of writing together, bringing songs to the collective and then arranging, rehearsing and recording that material live, in the studio. The result is an album that's energized, fully in "the now", with spectacular moments where you can hear the magic bubbling up in the dynamic between the Achers, Beck, and fellow members Theresa Loibl, Max Punktezahl, Karl Ivar Refseth, and Andi Haberl. The openness to chance also takes in guest turns from friends both local and international, reflective of a cosmopolitan Munich: Enid Valu joins in on vocals, while Haruka Yoshizawa guests on taishōgoto and harmonium, Tianping Christoph Xiao on clarinet, and Mathias Götz on trombone. The Notwist aren't best known for cover versions, but News from Planet Zombie features two: a gorgeous version of Neil Young's "Red Sun" (from 2000's Silver & Gold), and a take on Athens, Georgia folk-pop gang Lovers' "How the Story Ends." They slot into the album's narrative perfectly, nestling in like old friends, revealing The Notwist as poetic interpreters. Also available on black vinyl (MORR 207LP) and orange color vinyl (MORR 207ORA-LP).

"Born Innocent: The Redd Kross Story is not your regular rock doc. After all, brothers Jeff and Steve McDonald were never a regular rock band. They were the group with the eleven-year-old bass player threading their way through the hardcore punk scene only to reappear, just a few years later, as masters of power pop hooks and bubblegum fun. They were Partridge Family fanatics who influenced the entire grunge crowd. They were long-haired punks with stage costumes that would have put even the boldest glam rockers to shame. These sound like contradictions, but Redd Kross is the unfettered expression of two brothers and their rock'n'roll dream so exclusively informed by a visceral love of music and pop culture that it couldn't help but defy genres and conventions, evolve without pause and survive both the music industry and a kidnapping. A line-up of talking heads straight outta Lollapalooza tells stories you would swear were made up. But Jeff and Steve McDonald were already larger than life when they were in their teens, and the adventures that followed reflect just that. Through more than four decades Redd Kross have been nothing but happily, outrageously and courageously themselves. Director Andrew Reich (Emmy Award-winning writer on the hit TV Show Friends) conducted dozens of new interviews and had unfettered access to home movies and archival footage featuring The Runaways, X, Nirvana and Guns N Roses and members of the Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, The Muffs, Melvins, Go-Gos and Black Flag. This is the definitive story of the most eclectic, unpredictable, thrilling and heartwarming band you never knew."

"Score composed by Gerhard Heinz. The score was composed by Gerhard Heinz, an influential figure in '60s and '70s European exploitation cinema music. Born on September 9, 1927, in Vienna, Austria, Heinz started his career as a young composer, lyricist, and pianist in the 1960s. He initially composed scores for German and Austrian B and C-grade comedies and sleazy soft-core action thrillers. Traveling frequently between Vienna and Munich, Heinz quickly became highly sought after for porn soundtracks. His distinctive music blended an infectious soul jazz sound with heavy funk and disco flavors. Over his career, Gerhard Heinz composed over 130 scores for a wide variety of films, though he remains best known for the music he contributed to the exploitation genre."

BCUC -- Bantu Continua Uhuru Consciousness -- have been channeling the spirit of Soweto for over twenty years. Indigenous funk, hip-hop consciousness, and punk rock energy fused into something utterly original and deeply rooted. Their mantra: Music for the people, by the people, with the people. From humble beginnings rehearsing in a shipping container, a stone's throw from the church where Desmond Tutu organized the escape of the most wanted anti-Apartheid activists, they kept believing in their dream of self-empowerment. The Road Is Never Easy is BCUC's fifth album and their debut on Outhere Records. On this new offering, BCUC take listeners on another Afro-psychedelic journey into the soul of Soweto. It feels like a gospel sermon colliding with a punk concert, "guaranteed to touch untapped corners of your soul" (OkayAfrica). BCUC's music is deeply rooted in history and echoes the voices of the ones who came before. The road was never easy for the people of Soweto who originally came to work in the mines of Egoli, the City of Gold, Johannesburg. When apartheid finally ended after a long struggle, it was hoped that life would improve. But more than 30 years later, many of those initial hopes and dreams are still waiting to be fulfilled. This album is about that struggle. The album contains 10 brand new songs -- a record for BCUC, whose previous albums featured an average of 3 songs. It represents the culmination of more than two decades of performing together and building a reputation as a powerful live act. These ten songs encapsulate that same live energy, each one building gradually and drawing you into BCUC's Afro-psychedelic stream of consciousness. It's a seismic tour de force through life in Soweto today. The album cover is based on a matchbox design, matches being a common household item in South Africa even today. The Road Is Never Easy is a heavy spiritual road trip, a deep dive into the subconscious of Soweto and a quest for truth, justice and sanity in this crazy world. BCUC tackle the harsh realities of the voiceless, guided by the spirit world of their ancestors. Rather than reinforcing stereotypes of poverty, BCUC's portrayal of Africa is one rich in tradition, rituals and beliefs.

After a six-year hiatus, Efdemin returns with Poly -- his fifth studio album, released on the recently revived Berghain-affiliated label, Ostgut Ton. As the title suggests, Poly explores multiplicity: of rhythm, texture, style, and emotion. Across eleven meticulously sculpted textures, the album weaves a multidimensional web of sonic references, nodding to the origins of techno while pushing resolutely into uncharted terrain. Poly feels like an afterglow -- of decades on the dancefloor, of restless sonic exploration, and of a profound connection to the spaces and communities that have shaped Efdemin's sound. Over the course of 60 minutes listeners are taken through different territories and landscapes of sound. Mysterious and swirling, abstract and droning textures over at times fast and stoic rhythmic concepts. Sometimes the sunlight breaks into the opaque and mysterious soundscapes before the pulse is taken over and sucks listeners back straight into the club. The overall tone of Poly is mild and playful, introvert and at times dreamy. The music is rich in sonic expression and breathes the spirit of musical concepts that have been refined over the course of decades. What Sollmann has condensed here feels like a culmination of his multilayered and polyphonic personality situated between club, museum, studio and academy. The album cover features a striking photograph of a human ear by renowned German artist Isa Genzken. Known for her radical visual language, Genzken's work here functions as a metaphor for deep listening. The ear symbolizes the layered complexity and immersive quality of the music on Poly -- an invitation to perceive sound in all its depth, fragility, and force and unlock it's potential to unite different voices in a distorted reality.

WRWTFWW Records presents Hot-N-Ready Remixes Delivered by Pizza Hotline (In 20 Minutes or Less), the brand-new remix album from Pizza Hotline, landing hot and fast on a limited-edition neon arcade arctic pearl colored vinyl double LP, cut at 45rpm and housed in a heavyweight sleeve with artwork by Equip Studio. From the high-octane mind of Pizza Hotline -- the man behind cult classics that helped redefine liquid drum and bass through a Y2K, consoleera lens -- comes a full-throttle remix album that feels like a secret bonus disc unlocked after beating the game, a portal into a parallel universe of rave-powered nostalgia and pixel-perfect bliss. Warp-speed liquid DNB, atmospheric jungle, and dancefloor-crushing remixes of legendary tracks extracted from the greatest video games ever made collide in a sensory overload of pure arcade euphoria. Soaring pads, breakbeats that ricochet like laser fire, deep-space subs, and rhythms that feel like drifting through a cyber-city at 3AM with only a CRT glow to guide you. The album plays like a late-night arcade run fueled by muscle memory and emotion: PlayStation futurism meets WipeEout velocities, Donkey Kong adventure grit, GoldenEye stealth tension, and Sega Saturn dream-logic. It's fast, melodic, immersive, and deeply cinematic -- a love letter to video game soundtracks, club culture, and the spaces where the two collide. This release marks the fifth Pizza Hotline collaboration with WRWTFWW, following the ultra-classic Level Select, its brilliant follow-up Polygon Island, the collaborative smash Anti Gravity Tournament with Mitch Murder, and the Low Poly Breaks cassette series.

WRWTFWW Records presents Interwoven, the deeply moving collaborative album from Ken-ichiro Isoda and aus (Yasuhiko Fukuzono) -- now available on limited edition transparent sea green colored vinyl LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve with selective-varnish 3D print, as well as in digipack CD and digital formats. Recorded between Hachijo Island and Tokyo, Interwoven distills two visionary voices of Japanese ambient and electronic music into a single breath of feather-light and quietly luminous meditative sound. Isoda is a revered figure of New-age and environmental music whose work on Oscilation Circuit -- Série Réflexion 1 (originally released on famed label Sound Process) has long attained mythic status. He composes, notably with harp and wind instruments, produces contemporary music and video game scores, and crafts his very own brand of ambient music from the volcanic island of Hachijo-jima. Tokyo-based electronic composer and synth master aus is known for tender, melody-driven soundscapes. From the two artists comes a dialogue suspended between land and sea, bridging the generation gap and the physical distance between them. What began as a series of sketches -- impressions of water, islands, and shifting light -- gradually evolved into an exchange without explanation, a correspondence of sound that dissolved boundaries. In that anonymity, both artists discovered an uncommon freedom: a place where each could move lightly and intuitively, without expectation. The music drifts with a gentle, intuitive grace: lingering piano, soft cinematic synths, and field recordings that unfold like whispered recollections, while flute and saxophone lines pass through like occasional breezes -- a human presence felt as warmth more than form. Interwoven is music for those who cherish stillness and the delicate beauty of the everyday. It's music for admirers of Satoshi Ashikawa, Midori Takada, Satsuki Shibano, Hiroshi Yoshimura, Takashi Kokubo, Brian Eno, and all who seek a quiet refuge in sound.

Wewantsounds presents Ayam El Disco, a new selection of Egyptian 1980s disco and boogie cassette tracks curated by Egyptian DJ Disco Arabesquo, following his highly acclaimed Sharayet El Disco. Most tracks make their vinyl debut in this set. A journey through the funky sounds of 1980s Egypt, Ayam El Disco ("Disco Days") features Ammar El Sherei, Al Massrieen, and other underground artists from Cairo's vibrant cassette culture. The audio has been remastered for vinyl by David Hachour at Colorsound Studio in Paris, and the LP features artwork by Egyptian graphic designer Heba Tarek, along with a two-page insert showcasing the original cassette artwork and insightful liner notes by Moataz Rageb. Based in Amsterdam, the Egyptian DJ has spent years collecting rare tapes from the 1980s and early 1990s -- a period that transformed Egypt's musical landscape and shaped his own listening experience. By the 1980s, the cassette format had become a revolutionary medium in Egypt. Affordable and easily duplicated, tapes allowed artists to work independently while absorbing global influences such as disco, funk, and synth-pop through imported and bootleg recordings. Rather than mirroring Western club culture, these sounds were adapted to local contexts. Disco entered everyday life -- played at home, in cars, at weddings, beaches, and family gatherings - resulting in a distinctly Egyptian interpretation rooted in Arabic musical traditions. Ayam El Disco reflects this era through a carefully curated selection ranging from smooth disco and boogie to funkier instrumentals and early proto-Jeel sounds. Also featuring Firkit Americana Show, Firkit Hany Shenoda, Mostafa El Sakka, Hamid El Shaeri, Firkit El Pharana, Omar Fathy, Ammar El Sherei, Medhat Saleh, Aida El Ayoubi, and Ahmed Adaweya.

DVD is NTSC. Region Code: 0. "Throughout the 1980s, outfits like Black Flag, D.O.A., Dead Kennedys, Minor Threat and the Circle Jerks helped define the decade's deafening hardcore punk sound, paving the way for the eventual explosion of punk bands through radio and MTV in the decades to come. While punk rock's upper echelon may no longer be as culturally seditious as they once were, the genre's effect on a new generation of activists and aspiring politicians has never been more clear. The Vancouver-based D.O.A. have always been a politically outspoken outfit since first forming in 1978 as teenagers. Their mix of raucous anthems like 'Fucked Up Ronnie', 'America The Beautiful', 'The Prisoner' and others remain classics. The band's 1981 LP entitled Hardcore '81 was awarded the prestigious Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize in 2019, which honors groundbreaking Canadian albums from the past, winning out over 11 other critical album releases including The Band's Music From Big Pink, and Joni Mitchell's Court And Spark. In 2018, after 40 years of fighting against oppression, homelessness and corporate greed around the world, D.O.A. frontman Joe Keithley decided to turn art into life and run against the outspoken Mayor of Burnaby, Derek Corrigan. In a classic underdog scenario --and with only a $7000 campaign budget -- Keithley convincingly won a city councilor seat that year and helped to unseat the entrenched five-term Corrigan. The filmmakers followed Joe Keithley during his 2022 reelection campaign to document the amount of work and commitment that goes into running for public office. They were allowed unprecedented access to Keithley's entire campaign throughout its often chaotic and nail-biting conclusion. Ultimately, Something Better Change is a documentary film that proves music, political steadfastness and social advocacy can work together to effect real change just about everywhere -- including city hall."

2026 repress. With Dub Techno firmly back on the menu in clubs the world over, Deadbeat, at long last, resissues what is perhaps his greatest collaborative work with Paul St Hilaire aka Tikiman.

Re-cut by their old friend Stefan Betke aka Pole at Scape Mastering who first cut it to wax so many years ago, this 10-year anniversary edition is a crucial showcase of two masters at work.

Taiga Trans, the debut album from Fauna, is a hypnotic collision of krautrock propulsion, psychedelic ritual, and subterranean rave energy. The eight-piece Swedish outernational collective channels a multicultural, multidimensional sound that feels both deeply rooted and otherworldly. Think Goat's feral mysticism, Can's motorik drive, and a dancefloor at its most transcendental. Electronic textures whoosh like solar winds. Quiet percussion sighs and chatters. A jaw harp sets up a twanging bounce. An ancient saz introduces a taut riff. Suddenly a high-strung electric guitar scorches and a deep, booming bass groove drops with a four-to-the-floor kick drum thud. Welcome to the mysterious world of Fauna. Since forming around three years ago, the Gothenburg-based group have forged a singular sound, proposing an imaginary world somehow outside of history. It's a sound of cultures and philosophies entwining, creating a liminal space where traditional acoustic instrumentation meets electronic innovation. The group's origins go back to informal, intimate jam sessions held by guitarist Tommie Ek and bassist Ibrahim Shabo -- two experienced musicians who had been playing together in the local rock scene for over a decade. During the recording of these demos the core duo attracted a cohort of likeminded sonic adventurers, leading to the current live line-up as a nine-piece ensemble with Ek and Shabo joined by core members Caroline Kabat (drums), Cuneyd Kocalp (percussion), Jennie Magnusson (guitar), Ibrahim's sister, Alexandra Shahbo (vocals) and French flautist Fauna Buvat. Now, their debut album, Taiga Trans, offers eight concise snapshots of that transporting experience, harnessing the band's primordial live energy while making the most of 21st century studio technology. You'll hear echoes of heroic 1960s/'70s Swedish psychedelic bands like Träd, Gras & Stenar in the hypnotic, repetitive grooves. You'll hear the mind-melting squelch of vintage acid house. If the human voice can be seen as the original and oldest musical instrument, it's followed closely by the drum and the flute, as played with sly and alluring delicacy by Fauna Buvat. And it's these ancient sounds -- slotted into the buzz of Fauna's hypermodern rituals that make their music so overpoweringly seductive.

Muddy Waters was an ambitious young man who saw little future in Mississippi. In 1943, he headed for the bright lights, big city of Chicago, where he soon connected with blues giant Big Bill Broonzy, who began featuring Muddy as an opening act at his club dates. Within a year, Muddy had switched to electric guitar and formed his first blues combo, quickly becoming an established figure on Chicago's club scene. In 1947, Muddy came to the attention of the fledgling Aristocrat Records, just as Leonard Chess -- then running a nightclub called the Macomba Lounge -- invested in the company. Working frequently with pianist Sunnyland Slim, Muddy recorded a split session with him for Aristocrat in December 1947. This collection begins there: eight Aristocrat 78 rpm releases (sixteen sides), recorded between 1948 and 1950 and presented here in chronological order of release. Just three years later, Leonard and his brother Phil Chess would buy out Aristocrat's remaining partners and rename the label Chess Records -- ushering in a new era of Chicago blues that would reverberate around the world. Includes extensive liner notes by Muddy Waters expert Fred Rothwell.

With only six singles released between 1965 and 1966, and from an apparently remote place such as Lima, Peru, Los Saicos created a raw, wild and visceral sound, the Southern Hemisphere equivalent of the garage rock that was coming out of the US North West at the same time. Theirs is the same DNA shared by The Sonics, Rocket From The Tombs, The Cramps and Black Lips. This release compiles all their recordings, including some later rarities available here on CD for the first time, and tells their amazing story.
"I'd never heard Los Saicos until a few days ago but had experienced the Wau y Los Arrrghs!!! version of 'Demolición.' Whilst appreciating the inherent wildness, I never for a minute considered that the original could have been even more deranged. More importantly, this snarling maelstrom of nihilism was cut in Lima when the rest of the world was wetting itself over The Beatles. I hear direct links to both The Stooges and The Cramps here and several more equally enthralling combos. The latter spawned several generations of individuals who would dig deep to previously (mostly) unheard seams of music and other forms of culture that have since become part of the mainstream fabric. The unhinged nature of the song titles is one thing but after you become acclimatized to the inherent strangeness, other aspects become apparent. The rhythms and the way the guitars chime and twang to offset the howling are no mere approximations or interpretation. Chemistry is by far a more important factor in the gestation of sound than proficiency or ability. There's a point where nature takes over and kicks in the call of the wild. The individuals have no other option than to just go with it. Primitive to the point of primordial, Los Saicos are an important benchmark. Not were. Who ever thought there could be a combo out there in Peru that would make The Sonics sound like Simon and bloody Garfunkel? There is quite possibly some other music out there, someplace, that could well make us re-address this consideration, but until then, cherish this short course of Saicotherapy." --Lindsay Hutton

For some strange reason -- surely related to the country's extreme conditions, its high altitude, and the influence of huayno -- Bolivian recordings are truly unique and fascinating. A multitude of bands sprang up under the influence of groups -- mainly British -- that dominated the international charts. From the ashes of two of Bolivia's most important seminal bands, Los Black Byrds and The Turtles, two new groups fundamental to the history of Bolivian rock would be born: the mythical Climax and the legendary Loving Darks. Los Amantes Oscuros brings together for the first time on vinyl the recordings this band made between 1968 and 1969, originally released across three EPs on the local Lyra label. Their repertoire is packed with covers such as "El Adivino," a sped-up reinterpretation of "Fortune Teller," or even "Algo de títere," a reworking of "Jumpin' Jack Flash." They also adapt the classic "Call Me" by Tony Hatch and "Toad" by Cream, from whom they borrow the cover of one of their most iconic albums for the artwork of their EP Complicado. In fact, "Complicado" -- a proto-punk version of the Rolling Stones' "Complicated" and their signature track -- is a perfect example of how a Bolivian band could outdo the British giants in attitude and power. Their importance lies in having paved the way for new sounds, styles, and aesthetics within a still-emerging scene. This compilation is a joint release with the Peruvian label Rey Record and includes an insert with notes on the band's history. First time vinyl reissue.

At the genesis of one of the most essential bands in Spanish pop-rock of the 1980s, this rarity emerges: early versions of what would later become some of the most chanted songs in Siniestro Total's repertoire. With limited resources but plenty of energy and humor, a three-song demo was recorded in August 1981, now available here on vinyl for the first time. The songs came first, and only later did the band take a name -- initially Mari Cruz Soriano y los que afinan su piano, and shortly after, Siniestro Total. "El Vaticano va a arder" was contributed by Germán Coppini, the mysterious fourth member of this singular lineup. This single is an essential document for both Siniestro Total fans and Spanish-language punk enthusiasts. First-ever vinyl edition.

Xerrox Vol. 1 is the third studio album by German electronic artist Alva Noto. It was released in 2007 as part of the ongoing Xerrox pentalogy, based on the concept of digital replication of source material. Using the process of copying as a basis, the Xerrox series deals with the manipulation of data through endless reproduction. Due to the inherent fallacy of making copies from other copies, everyday sounds become so altered that they are hardly associated with their source material. As a result, entirely new sounds are created: copies of originals become originals themselves. Together with Christoph Brünggel, Nicolai designed a "sample transformer" that takes audio fragments and manipulates them beyond recognition. In this process of taking something familiar and defamiliarizing it, samples from obvious sources-advertising jingles, airport tones, telephone hold music, and film soundtracks-were used and altered, resulting in sounds totally unlike their original source. The result is a series of haunting, intricately realized pieces that recontextualize Nicolai's "glitches and bass" sound into extended, cinematic, organic, and almost orchestral works. Xerrox Vol. 1 was followed by Xerrox Vol. 2 (2009), Xerrox Vol. 3 (2015), Xerrox Vol. 4 (2020), Xerrox Vol. 5 (2024).

Xerrox Vol. 2 is the sixth studio album, released in 2009 by German electronic artist Alva Noto. It is the second installment of the Xerrox penthalogy, based on the concept of digital replication of source material. As with the first Xerrox album, the starting point is a set of samples culled from external sources. This time, snippets and recordings from Sunn O))) collaborator Stephen O'Malley and composer Michael Nyman are featured, as is an excerpt from the 2004 Insen tour with Ryuichi Sakamoto. While Alva Noto's oeuvre is predominantly affiliated with pristine sound design, the Xerrox series holds more intimate gestures and emotional sensibility. This volume moves further from the conceptualism and orderliness of prior musical outputs, ranging from heart-warming elegies to mind-bending sci-fi projections in extrasolar territories.

Los Felcas were one of the best bands to come out of Peru during the golden years of the cumbia and tropical sounds explosion. In Lima, founding member, guitarist Florentino "Tino" León, quickly joined the Peruvian cumbia tropical movement led by electric guitarists Enrique Delgado (Los Destellos) and Berardo Hernández "Manzanita.". This new style was soon practiced by other groups from Lima, such as Los Ecos, Los Beta 5, Los Diablos Rojos, and, a bit later, by bands from the rest of the country. This movement became a massive phenomenon. Nelson Ferreyra and the multifaceted singer Pablo Villanueva Branda "Melcochita", who had become fans, introduced them to the MAG record label. In mid-1973, they recorded their first 45 RPM singles, with "Sabor a Felcas" being their most popular release. They recorded several albums during the late '70s and '80s, mostly on MAG: "La Blanquiñosa," "Tu bello cuerpo," "La cusqueñita" and "Manzanita coloradita." In the early 1990s, chicha music became popular in Argentina, especially in the north, where "Boquita perfumada" by Los Felcas was a hit. This compilation brings together their finest recordings, taking from albums and obscure 45s, blending a wide range of influences -- from psychedelic vibes to rhythms closer to guaracha and chicha -- and now being reissued for the first time.

Drummer, bandleader and activist Bubbha Thomas had toured America with R&B revues, served as a session musician for peacock and back beat records, and played straight ahead jazz with legends before the political and social upheaval of the late 1960s led him to a path first charted by Coltrane. Free As You Wanna Be, his first album with his band The Lightmen, predates the deep-set, maverick jazz issued by the likes of Tribe and Strata East: this album is a harbinger of the collective voice of resistance to the musical and cultural status quo that emerged in the 1970s jazz underground. Most of the tracks remain strongly groove-based with a clear sense of cohesion, but a few of the performances push further out than you might expect from later Lightmen releases, revealing the band's deep roots in avant-jazz. This lineup includes a very young Ronnie Laws sounding noticeably removed from the jazz-fusion style he'd adopt in the late '70s. Alongside Thomas on drums, the ensemble is rounded out by Doug Harris on tenor sax, Carl Adams on trumpet, Kenny Abair on guitar, and Joe Singleton on trombone.

"Spacing Out" is an instrumental funk masterpiece only ever issued in Bermuda at the turn of 1970, taken from an exceedingly rare album sought out by rock, funk, soul and hip hop sample fiends -- and bootlegged -- for decades. It lays out the band's funk bonafides: a relentlessly tight conga-filled groove, the punchy wall of intertwined horn leads, and raucous unintelligible background vocals adding extra mystique. On the flip is "Latin Lips" a heavy funk cut with a jazzier vibe, also taken from the mega rare LP by The Invaders.

WRWTFWW Records presents the release of Nighthawks, the new collaborative album from composer Azumi Okamura and musician/sound designer Andrea Esperti, available on limited edition LP (300 copies worldwide) cut at 45rpm, and housed in a heavyweight sleeve with inside-out print. A sublime convergence of Japanese piano poetry and Swiss sonic craftsmanship, Nighthawks brings together Azumi Okamura's intimate, emotionally resonant compositions with Andrea Esperti's refined approach to sound design. Esperti is known for his work alongside ambient legend Takashi Kokubo, and here he extends that sensibility into an intimate and immersive space. Echoes of dreams from an imaginary world drift through the album: forgotten memories rising gently, only to fade again. The music unfolds like a series of inner scenes -- reflective, rich with atmosphere -- where minimal piano motifs meet organic textures and subtle electronic detail. Rooted in the emotional solitude of Edward Hopper's urban landscapes, Nighthawks balances stillness and warmth. Gentle, simple melodies glow softly, wrapped in environmental music that evokes autumn air and walks by the beach. Resisting excess and spectacle, the record embraces poetic minimalism and emotional clarity. Each piece feels suspended in time, offering quiet moments that linger long after the sound has faded -- a drifting, cinematic journey shaped by sensitivity and restraint.

Delayed until 2026... "A massive photographic archive of Lee 'Scratch' Perry's legendary recording studio. A 600-page tribute to one of the most famous locales in music history, Black Ark is a detailed inventory of photographs and writings from the Black Ark Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, where producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry created music from 1973 onward. The eclectic and constantly evolving decoration of the studio provides an enduring visual counterpart to Perry's expansive musical catalog. From mural paintings to shape-shifting assemblages of records, instruments, found objects, posters and newspaper clippings, the artworks layer upon one another as they intertwine with the studio building itself. Perry created his own dense and diverse world in which to work: memorialized in this volume before the Black Ark disappears for good. The photographic documentation of the studio in the spring of 2021 was supplemented by efforts to secure and preserve Perry's works, objects and recordings as part of a joint project with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Black Ark reflects the rhythm and layering effects of collage both in its content and the materials used to craft the book. Perry was involved in the development of this publication until his death in August 2021. The book closes with memorial essays from Ishion Hutchinson, David Katz, Kodwo Eshun, and John Corbett. Lee 'Scratch' Perry (1936-2021) was a musician and producer best known for pioneering the dub genre in the 1970s. He worked with well-known Jamaican artists such as Bob Marley and the Wailers, the Heptones, the Congos, and Max Romeo. In 2003 he won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album."

"The residents of Scandinavia and those of coastal regions of Canada have more than a few commonalities. For one thing, they love seafood as well as the act of gathering it. And while this briny lust was not the sole rationale behind this, Mats Gustafsson's third visit to the city of Nanaimo on Vancouver Island off the coast of British Columbia, I am certain it was on his mind. After all, his second visit to the city, with his band Fire!, was designed around a fishing trip envisioned by promoter/label head Jack Tieleman as a sure way to lure those salmon-hungry Swedes to town. That such a gambit was not conjured up again must mean that either Kjetil Moster (a Norwegian rather than Swedish musician) had no overwhelming lust for fin or that their schedule was just too tight. I have asked about this several times, and the lack of response makes me wonder if it is a touchy topic. Maybe there's some kind of law against anti-piscatorial activity in Norway, so things have to be kept hush-hush. But that's just a guess. Regardless, this duo LP is totally great, savage and funny in equal measures. Whether there's sea salt on his lips or not, Mats is one of the great saxophonists of his generation, playing everything from traditional post-bop sax to explosive experimental electronics and many many things in between. The other half of the duo, Kjetil Moster, plays with Mats in a wild quintet called The End, and has a vast array of other projects and ensembles with whom he plays and records. Together, they form and exciting unit, employing a vast array of techniques (freaky and otherwise) to create music ranging from elegantly floating reed interactions to full-on fire music form-tussles. The music at times recalls everything from Eric Dolphy's backyard birdcall practice to rusty electronics worthy of Lasse Marhaug. That Mats and Kjetil are able to flow back and forth between such distant poles during their first-ever appearance as a duo speaks to an excellence in communication as well as lightning-fast response time. It is a gas and a blast from start to finish. How I wish I'd been there!" --Byron Coley

Faitiche welcomes a new artist to the label. Christina Kubisch belongs to the first generation of sound artists. Her practice ranges from performances, concerts, to works with video and visual art, but she is best known for her sound installations and electro-acoustic compositions. TUNING brings together three pieces by Christina Kubisch from different periods of her oeuvre. What they have in common is the way they transform sound phenomena originally considered "non-music" into compositions.
From Christina Kubisch: "I alter my source material as little as possible, layering and overlapping until a distinctive sound space emerges. In recent pieces, I sometimes combine magnetic waves with field recordings or live instruments. In 'Gaming' it's my recording of a Chinese song about silence... With ['Two persons walking through a street in Madrid'], I wanted to understand what is heard by people participating in an Electrical Walk in the same place but moving in different ways. The Spanish composer Miguel Alvarez-Fernàndez and I set off from opposite ends of a major shopping street in Madrid, met briefly in the middle, and then continued to the end. We both recorded our walks and I then layered them over one another. You might call it a work of electromagnetic conceptualism... 'Diapason' is part of a series of three pieces that deal with 'non-instruments' or instruments that no longer exist: electrical mine bells used to send signals to the workers underground; a historical glass harmonica originally used for medicinal purposes; and tuning forks that were used by doctors to test people's hearing. All of these methods are no longer in use. The sound of the tuning forks, audible only if held close to the ear, was recorded at the electronic studio at Berlin's Technical University in such a way that even their decay remained audible. The frequencies range between 64 and 2048 Hertz and they can be adjusted at micro-intervals using small movable weights. The sequence and the duration of the pauses are dictated by chance and were not defined in advance. The 2009 version was created for an installation in the historic Holy Cross Church (Korskirken) in Bergen. Visitors could enter and leave the space at any time, deciding for themselves where and for how long they wished to listen to the sounds played back over an array of small loudspeakers placed on the floor of the apse."

"During a job in Cologne, I stayed in a room with a loft bed that had no electrical outlets at the top. Every night, I would listen to my TB303, which runs on batteries, through headphones to help me fall asleep. I loved the sequences, it was like meditation. The TB-303 bassline is iconic in acid music, so I created the Acid Lullabies to bring these two elements together. In 2017, the label Doom Chakra Tapes released ten of the Acid Lullabies on tape. Last year, I felt the urge to rework the tracks, so I mixed them again and created some new ones. I also asked friends to contribute their own versions. I'm very glad that the following artists contributed the Acid Lullabies: 47IN4 (Pudel Produkte, Doom Chakra Tapes), Museum of No Art (Séance Center, Cosima Pitz), N:in, and Philipp Otterbach (Music from Memory, Offen Music). Two violinists from Ensemble Resonanz performed my piece 'Afternoon Lights' for Acid Lullaby 6. Alex Solman designed the cover, which captures the essence of the project perfectly. Have fun with the Acid Lullabies!" --RVDS

Jazzman's latest Holy Grail reissue is this private press spiritual jazz gem out of California from Rickey Kelly and his vibes and marimba. Features Diane Reeves (vocals) and Adele Sebastian (flute)! "Rickey, I know these are your friends, the guys you went to school with, but if you wanna record an album, you record with musicians who have been playing their whole life; whatever you write, they'll put their whole life into it. You play with your friends; they may not even play in tune." These are the words of Slave guitarist Kevin Johnson, and they were to change the course of young Rickey Kelly's life. It was 1978, and music student Kelly had approached Johnson with a tape of rough demos of some songs he'd written. A San Francisco native, Kelly had recently moved the short distance south to study music at LA City College in East Hollywood. He was a member of E.W. Wainwright Jr.'s African Roots of Jazz, and was spending up to 10 hours a day in practice on both vibes and marimba. He also played with Horace Tapscott, and had his own band made up of fellow students, but it was his ambition to make an album that led to the conversation with Johnson. It was a turning point in his education, and a decision was looming. Some calls were made and the date was set to record at Studio Masters on Beverly Blvd, a studio set up just a few years previous in 1973, owned and operated by Dot Records founder Randy Wood. As the recording session took place, John Wood was listening in. He was impressed. Kelly didn't have the funds to manufacture and release the album himself, so Wood suggested it was pressed up on his in-house studio label, Los Angeles Phonograph Records, and thus the LP My Kind of Music was released early in 1979. The album also saw a subsequent pressing soon afterwards on Dennis Sullivan's New Note label. Kelly remains humble and proud of his debut album to this day. "I was still a beginner" he says, "These masters walked in, smiling, and gave me something worth gold."

"Welcome to the mind-expanding 1968 jazz recording of Bill Plummer and The Cosmic Brotherhood -- where Eastern and psychedelic influences meld together to produce one of the trippiest jazz albums on Impulse Records. This LP is a much-sought-after sonic travelogue, with the pop-psych spoken-word sitar freakout of 'Journey To The East' to Bill Plummer's swinging, rapid fire/cool jazz compositions, to his covers that go straight to the heart of any '60s genre-crossing jazz fans. Featuring an incredible who's who of the high-caliber talent bubbling over in the Los Angeles music scene at the time: Carol Kaye (legendary bass player of The Wrecking Crew); Maurice Miller (drummer in The Jazz Corps); Dennis Budimir (guitarist with Chico Hamilton Quintet, Ravi Shankar, and Frank Zappa); Mike Lang (piano with Flamin' Groovies & Hal Blaine); Tom Scott (saxophone with Gabor Szabo & Thelonious Monk); Ray Neopolitan (Bass for The Doors & Leonard Cohen); Milt Holland (percussionist with The Wrecking Crew and Captain Beefheart); Bill Goodwin (drums for Mose Allison and Tom Waits). Housed in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with iconic liner notes by Frank Kofsky, who comes out swinging hard in favor of the album, while shaking the dust off any jazz snobs left in the '60s who still were not ready to embrace the future of jazz. Produced by Bob Thiele who produced everyone from John Coltrane, Art Blakey, to Charles Mingus, this sonic rarity is yet another impressive vinyl reissue from the folks at Jackpot Records."

"'One foot out the door, another in the otherworld.' So begins Hannah Lew's debut, self-titled solo record, soaked in imperious, wide-eyed pop songwriting and a girl-group/post punk aesthetic that belies the artist's history in the U.S. underground. A towering, hook-laden album, it's infused with an optimism and surrealism that conversely deals with the times people find themselves in. Recorded at home in Richmond, CA and in The Best House studio with Maryam Qudus in Oakland CA, with the assistance of a crack team of West Coast musicians, this album sees Hannah Lew stepping out from behind the legacy of her two groups Grass Widow and Cold Beat. While musically bearing similarities with her previous work, Hannah Lew is a bold leap into direct pop territory, making ample use of a vocal style that teases out the inherent melancholy in her melodies. Mastered by Sarah Register, each song is a perfectly honed nugget that frequently pulls the heart in two directions at once. Themes of change, breaking up, shattering old ways of being are shot through the record. For the front cover, a photograph of the artist's face was printed, ripped up and re-assembled, resembling the creative process embarked upon by Lew for her first 'solo' material. The album feels instinctual, almost dream-like in its assemblage of sweeping synths and pulsating, propulsive drum machine beat patterns with Lew's vocal performances sensitive and caressing over the top. Increasingly relying on the subconscious and dreams to guide her creative process, Hannah Lew frequently abandons literal interpretations or linear narratives, the songs seeming to exist in a swooning, effortless flow-state while remaining emotionally hard hitting. In a departure from previous groups, her solo songs are guided by dreams and free association inspired by Dada and the Surrealist movement and sculpted afterwards. As such, the songs reveal themselves on repeated listens, revealing traces of heartbreak inspired by both personal and global elements -- Lew regards the album as 'a wartime album.'"

Double LP is presented on 140gm black vinyl in a transparent gloss foil sleeve, artwork and design by Ian Anderson for Designers Republic. Circuitry Electronic launches with a release that stands as a statement of intent -- an artist with few true peers within English electronic music, with an album that jumps out of the speakers and slaps you around the chops. G-Man is Gez Varley -- one half of Sheffield pioneers LFO, and thirty years into his solo career, with his first vinyl album release since Avanti on Force Inc way back in 2002. Their eponymous track "LFO" -- a classic of the bleep and bass techno movement -- was one of the first releases on the Warp label, gate- crashing the UK's Top 20. Having worked with the likes of Richie Hawtin, Karl Bartos, Laurent Garnier, Art of Noise, Radiohead, YMO, and Alan Wilder, in addition to the LFO output, you'd expect Gez to know his way around a techno dancefloor rhythm and drum pattern, and this is an inventive funk-filled journey that never veers too far into experimental territory yet avoids the cliches and generic tropes that too often lose the listener when techno manifests in album form. As the inaugural release on the Circuitry Electronic label this album plugs all the right sockets; stay close for further electronic expansions on the theme on the label in the coming months.

Bruno Silva, operating here under his restless Serpente alias, returns with Visita do Fogo -- a sharp, stripped-back and incendiary counterpoint to the drifting, dream-jazz abstractions of Dias da Aranha (SOUK 009LP). If that record floated like smoke, this one crackles and snaps like dry wood. Visita do Fogo finds Silva stepping back into the heat of his beat-driven origins, embracing a raw, forward-leaning approach that feels closer to his live detonation than a studio construction. The record is built on stark materials -- drum fragments, percussive jolts, scorched-earth loops -- all manipulated with his unmistakable "screw" instincts: micro-cuts, sudden pivots, rhythmic false floors and the sense that the track might turn itself inside-out at any moment. Rather than smoothing edges or leaning into atmospherics, Serpente doubles down on urgency. Each piece moves through the record with a chop-and-go physicality, a kind of ritual propulsion that never settles into comfort. Silva's rhythmic language remains entirely his own: crooked but precise, feral yet meticulous, rooted in dance structures but constantly mutating away from them. Visita do Fogo is less a sequel to Dias da Aranha than a flare shot into the same night sky -- brighter, hotter, and designed to leave afterimages. It captures an artist burning forward, shedding everything unnecessary, trusting the flame.

"Generic Flipper, the debut album by Flipper, remains the most absorbing full-length LP to emerge from the early San Francisco punk scene. A constant source of imitation for so-called 'noise rock' bands, it has yet to be surpassed in its nihilistic glee. Recorded between October 1980 and August 1981 and released in 1982 on the indispensable Subterranean Records, this album functions as a chaotic, sticky mass of individual personalities: the magma-like bass eruptions and dual vocals of Will Shatter and Bruce Loose, Ted Falconi's icy guitar scraping and the relentless beat of drummer Steve DePace. At times playful and taciturn, paranoid and absurd, Generic charts a deliberate path that willfully chances destruction. In early '80s punk, when the hardening default was 'faster-shorter-louder,' Generic subverts the nascent hardcore scene with a strictly applied regimen of turgid-slower-heavier. The lyrics are bleak, yet unnervingly beautiful. 'Ever' sets the tone with trademark restraint, while closer 'Sex Bomb' is a churning, 8-minute epic with looping bass, saxophone accompaniment and electronic effects of dropping bombs. Tons of indie bands have attempted to recreate Flipper's mix of acidic guitar, metallic bass sludge and sardonically brilliant lyricism, using the seemingly effortless template they pioneered; however, the effect usually drives listeners right back to Generic. While most of their contemporaries wilt under direct comparison, No Trend, the Butthole Surfers, feedtime and Church Police are a few who can stand the frigid heat."

Evergreen In Your Mind, the new and third album from Norwegian singer-songwriter Juni Habel, exists in two worlds at the same time. Songs were recorded in quiet corners of her home, on the piano in the school where she works, and it uses the physical world around her to provide percussion. It also takes place, as she herself attests, within a dream; an imagined place in which her desire for oneness with each other and the world is finally realized. Evergreen In Your Mind was recorded with co-producer Stian Skaaden. It is Habel's first album in three-years, following the breakthrough success of 2023's Carvings LP. Formed of eleven new recordings, the songs here remain delicate, with Habel's voice playing an elegant lead role. Small shifts in Habel's sound result in a notable stride forward. More focus went into the groove of these songs. Playfulness was embraced and, perhaps most importantly, patience played a fundamental role in shaping the album with time and care given to every element of these songs. The extra time that was given to the project gave Juni the space to nurture her creativity. She would read and listen to music, hike into the hills, place herself within nature and seek out stillness. Not as a deviation from her work but as a fundamental part of the process. It's a search for connection, and it's a recurring theme across Evergreen In Your Mind. The album's title-track and fist single feels indicative of this narrative. A gorgeous, delicate folk song, it finds Habel out in the woods, hiding from real life, caught in the space between the natural world and the pull of modernity. The album cover also adds shimmer: a striking photograph of Juni among the mountains, it was taken on a day trip to Rondane, a five-hour drive each way from her home.

"Like a lightning strike that travels through time, White Fence are all of a sudden cracking in the hear-view mirror again. Orange hits like, visceral. Guitars sound and like a shower spray forth. Resolutely picked. Cold and soothing. Swivelin' thru the jagged, jittery pop sounds of the '60s-'00s, the sharped focus of Orange's rock sonics gives Tim Presley exactly what he needed the most: open space to sing into, and songs to sing. The rest is White Fence magik at its most dark, as Tim's restless free-allusivation trippifyingly transforms the cramped confines of heart wracked self-excoriation right before our eyes and ears! In pop songs. On (the mixing) board with White Fence/on the (drum) kit with Tim is Ty Segall. Engineering tactics fully hand-in-glove with the White Fence intent, they produce a clean and uncrowded space to mount up all the rock 'n balladry, their clean lines surrounded by an emphatic/unalterable (minimalist) frame. Tim's lyric sets and chord progressions, with their perspectives, time codes and smash cuts, give up eleven fleeting glimpses from the other side of the 'Fence, each outfitted as foot-forward pop tunes for maximum rock 'n roll. Playing with genre throughout the album like a space-age Kinks, Tim's natty wordplay splatters against the songs' rock-solid edifice, spilling an infinitum of cracked, shaggy realities, billowing, mirrored, sharded. When it all moves, you move, and that's fun. Orange is an unstill life; a bowlful of Tim's latest conceptions for guitar band, grown larger through thoughts, feelings, SONGS and some keys and synth from Alice Sandhal (+ 2 drum cameos from the ever-righteous Dylan Hadley). A trance-like chronology of consciousness, captured in opalescent diamond tightness and ice fidelity at Ty's Harmonizer II studio. It's a KILLER. White Fence is Orange on time this time!"

LP version. "First time on vinyl for these incendiary hard psych rock tracks, which made their only other appearance in Australia in 1999 on CD as part of the Sky Pilot compilation released by Camera Obscura Records. With each passing year since his death, the intense and inspiring musical legacy of Jesus Acedo is in danger of slipping into darkness. That's where Lion Productions come in -- together with Rich Hopkins and San Jacinto Records -- to keep the Lambent Flame burning, so to speak. All of the music on Whirlpool Ocean originates from the troubled and bizarre sessions for the album Acedo made under the name Black Sun Legion -- and then destroyed, when his struggles with schizophrenia overwhelmed him. Fortunately, Hopkins had the masters, or this album would not exist today, and some of Acedo's most brilliant music would be lost. Happily, not the case. Lion Productions have this album and other recordings of Acedo's through which to remember and admire his genius."

"The North Carolina trio Setting brings together their substantial collective skills as musicians and their collaborative mindset to bear in their inventive and rich improvisations. Known for work in Mind Over Mirrors, Califone, Black Twig Pickers, Pelt, Peeesseye, Sylvan Esso, and Jake Xerxes Fussell, multi- instrumentalists Jaime Fennelly, Nathan Bowles and Joe Westerlund subvert expectations while creating a sense of wonderment. Their intricate interplay of synthesizers, cassette loops, banjo, keyboards, electronics, zithers, and a litany of percussive instruments form a tactile amalgam of celestial transcendence and terrestrial rhythm, a loamy pulse fluidly guiding every minute fluctuation in feel. Setting's self-titled album is a definitive statement of their improvisational acumen meeting compositional rigor, a robust wellspring of hypnagogic grooves and mosaiced textures. Setting harnesses the euphoria of communal creation. 'This is one of the most joyous albums I've made with other musicians. It felt like we were all in the slipstream,' notes Fennelly. Bowles adds: 'Making this is maybe the easiest thing in my life; it's not struggle music. This collaboration feels like it's just coming out of the air, like it's breathing.' Fennelly's synth programming acts as a guiding light, bending pieces into dynamic arcs and imbuing them with swirling hues, while rhythmic push-and-pull between Westerlund and Bowles lends an elasticity to each track's warp and weft. Their working methods have found a kindred traveler in Adam McDaniel from Asheville's Drop of Sun Studios, whose engineering and production work forms an indispensable piece of the album's dynamism and luminescent fidelity. Across the five pieces, the trio make deft use of their seemingly infinite palettes to mold landscapes that appear familiar at first glance before glowing with vibrant new colors as the whole picture sets in. The eponymous album from Setting is the product of three intuitive players and deep listeners, artists who use those skills to create transformative music. The trio shirk any broader categorizations, as their unique dynamic pieces are alight with arrangements urgent and smoldering, patient and emotive."

Gold vinyl version. "OOIOO and Lightning Bolt are both bands whose music is wholly unique and whose creators' influence would be impossible to overstate. YoshimiO, OOIOO's founder and bandleader, has been a guiding force in uncompromising art across the continuum of rock and improvised music for four decades, from her work in UFO or Die to The Boredoms to SAICOBAB and beyond. OOIOO serves as a core outlet for melding freeform experimentalism with hypnotic rock pulses, defying boundaries with her acrobatic voice, electronics, trumpet and gamelan. Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale and Brian Gibson have remained unparalleled in their ability to transmute frenetic whirls of percussion, gargantuan fuzz and dizzying melody into monolithic vistas. The Horizon Spirals/The Horizon Viral is a split that captures the parallels in ethos between these two ensembles, their sense of gleeful abandon and freight train momentum, in inspiring detail. 'The Horizon Spirals,' composed of OOIOO's gamelan-infused sagas 'The Horizon' and 'Gamel Be Sure To Spiral' demonstrates the boundless scope of OOIOO's music. Opener 'The Horizon' draws inspiration from Sun Ra Arkestra's 'Horizon,' bursting from oscillations into a syncopated groove before stretching out into up-tempo hypnotisms lead by YoshimiO's trumpet. Lightning Bolt's 'The Horizon Viral' evokes the limitlessness of their improvisations and distills through more sophisticated home recording techniques. 'The Horizon Viral' reignites the flame of their storied home recordings, capturing the duo in full freeform, bolstered from bassist Brian Gibson's experiences composing and recording soundtracks for video games he co-designed, Thrasher and Thumper. The five pieces that make up their side were arranged as a single suite, meant to be played all together, with movements like 'Wavers' and 'Cloud Core' showcasing how relentless the duo's energy remains. Throughout, Gibson's ability to conjure riffs that feel timeless is as potent as drummer Brian Chippendale's ability to propel them until their instruments become inextricably enmeshed. The Horizon Spirals/The Horizon Viral is a celebration of indomitable creativity. In their endless pursuit of crafting pure, uninhibited, enchanting art, OOIOO and Lightning Bolt continue to make astonishingly powerful, invigorating music."

One of the longest standing figures amidst the Discrepant wolfpack, the unstoppable alias of sound collector Laurent Jeanneau returns to the fold after Tanzania II (CREP 098LP) with this 2.0 update of the celebrated The Lisu sort-of-mixtape released way back in 2014. Based on recordings of music from the Lisu communities in China and Thailand captured on site, this mix shows Gong more like a selector or DJ, restricting electronic processing to a bare minimum in order to convey different histories, places and timeframes within the same mesmerizing continuum. A respectful and deeply vivid evocation of all the richness and diversity found among the different strands of lisu music, from ceremonial vocal incantations through a chibeu string instrument "processed" in loco through saturated street speakers to moments of pure poetic radiance, The Lisu flows gracefully with the keen sense of wonder and knowledge of one of this century's most thoughtful and insightful sonic travelers.

Caterina Barbieri and Bendik Giske's At Source resounds music as wellspring, that which is essential and unknowable, and yet utterly primary. It finds two acclaimed composer-musicians building a world together in self-contained collaboration between analogue synthesis and an extended approach to the saxophone that conjures its own universe of sound. It is at once intimate and cosmic, drawing on the challenges and possibilities of their artistic exchange, tearing down technique to access all the expansive possibilities of their sonic meeting point. At Source is a document of the world of sound to be conjured when two artists strive for something together, discovering the expansions and limitations of performance by bodies and machines. It is not an exercise in assimilation, but in productive exchange and creative confrontation. It does not draw on outside energies or influences, but grapples with what there is to find in their respective playing. Barbieri and Giske first met and were enthralled by one another's performances at Kunsthaus Glarus in 2019, a meeting that spurred conversations on the power of transitions as a compositional force. Giske later contributed a rework of Fantas for Fantas Variations (Editions Mego, 2021), an ambitious undertaking to rescore Barbieri's work for his saxophone and voice, a challenge Giske had started undertaking two years prior as an ongoing practice of transcription. Giske, who was on the brink of releasing his sophomore album, Cracks, then joined Barbieri's light-years tour, which functioned as an inaugural incarnation of her newborn label and platform. Through the tour, they continued to develop material live, and this release, laid down in the studio, is true to that ever-evolving process of creation, where live feedback stays essential to the vitality of this collaborative effort. The tracks are each named with two evocative words that contain the two poles of their sound. Theirs is both abstract and cosmic, in the synth as machine undermined by Barbieri's naturalistic playing, and in Giske's continuous exploration of the symbiosis between his instrument, voice, and body. These binaries, of body and machine, posed various challenges, notably in how the stepped patterns Barbieri uses were near-impossible to translate for Giske's body to perform, and other times where mathematical resolutions were needed to sync their playing.

DVD is NTSC. Region Code: 0. "In 1971 several dozen African American soul, jazz, and gospel artists embarked on a journey that would change the lives of everyone involved. They traveled from New York City to Ghana, West Africa to take part in a 13-hour concert entitled Soul to Soul. The concert was a celebration of 14 years of Ghana's independence from British rule. For most of these artists it was their first trip to Africa. For the African American musicians, this was a journey about personal roots, the ancestral homeland, history, discovery, loss, pain and joy. Directed by Academy Award winner Denis Sanders the concert film/documentary had a limited theatrical run in 1971. It now returns restored with the original edit reconstructing each scene using high quality 2K transfers from the original film elements, which were shot in the 4:3 aspect ratio. The soundtrack has been digitally remastered. Soul to Soul is an electrifying concert film that features its players at the peak of their powers. The Ike & Tina Turner Revue deliver fiery renditions of 'River Deep-Mountain High,' 'Soul to Soul,' a cut specifically written for this concert; and Otis Redding's 'I've Been Loving You Too Long.' Wilson Pickett, the most popular American artist known to West Africans at the time, delivers a rousing finale of 'In the Midnight Hour,' 'Funky Broadway,' and 'Land of a 1000 Dances.' Gospel/Soul family group the Staples Singers were on hand to perform 'When Will Be We Paid' and 'Are You Sure.' Les McCann and Eddie Harris introduced many to jazz via spirited performances of 'The Price You Gotta Pay to Be Free' and 'Hey Jorler,' the latter featuring local Ghanaian artist Amoah Azangeo. Santana, with guest percussionist Willie Bobo was the wild card. The group only had one African American member but given its reliance on Afro-Cuban and Latin American rhythm constructs played the most African-sounding music of any with 'Black Magic Woman'/'Gypsy Queen' and 'Jungle Strut.'"

RELEASE DATE: 5/22/2026
For two decades, Gun Outfit has been a band defined less by genre than by continuity, patience, and a commitment to making music that reflects their lived experience. Formed in Olympia, Washington in 2006 but long since rooted in Los Angeles, the group has evolved from a raw duo into a quietly formidable five-piece, their sound growing from scrappy post-punk beginnings into something spacious yet intimate, and always underpinned by an experimental edge. On Process & Reality, Gun Outfit return with their most ambitious and immersive work to-date, a sprawling 80-minute double album shaped by time, environment, and philosophy. Recorded over the course of a single month in the late summer of 2020, on an 80-acre ranch in Pine Flat, California, while a massive forest fire burned less than ten miles away, the seeds of these songs were stark and strange. Its title, Process & Reality, draws from the central work of philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, whose philosophy places intuition, experience, creativity, and relationality at the center of existence. The band's current lineup reflects both longevity and openness. Sharp and Keith remain the band's primary architects, joined by longtime drummer Daniel Swire, multi-instrumentalist Henry Barnes, and bassist Kayla Cohen. Additional collaborators include Chris Cohen, Warren Lee, and Danny Sasaki all of whom add further depth, leaving subtle fingerprints across the album. Musically, the album expands the band's palette without abandoning its core sensibility. Dulcimer, autoharp, sitar, melodica, keyboards, homemade electronics, and a wide range of acoustic and electric textures appear throughout. The sound is mellow yet expansive, songs move between fragility and hefty atmospheric passages. Influences surface obliquely rather than overtly. Elements of reggae and dub inform the production's spatial sensibility. Echoes of long-form European jam bands coexist with sharp post-punk. British folk traditions, American country, and classic West Coast songwriting drift in and out of focus; the band is never afraid to lead or follow.

Dancing on the wildest edge of the '90s outsider techno zeitgeist while proudly independent of any so-called scene, Ov Biospheres And Sacred Grooves: A Document Ov New Edge Folk Classics is both of its time and out of time. Rooted in the experiments of electronic music pioneers, industrial culture and ethnic music from around the globe while responding to the house and techno explosion, Robbert Heynen, Reinier Brekelmans, Reinoud van den Broek, and Tim Freeman's freewheeling masterpiece takes in lush electronica and murky abstraction on its singular voyage through parts unknown. Forever Records presents an extensive reissue edition of the first "fully released" Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia album. Originally released in 1992, this is the first time the full, previously CD-only, version of Ov Biospheres and Sacred Grooves is pressed on vinyl. The original LP and CD artwork from the various editions released in the early '90s has been combined and designed by the band, and the audio has been remastered with their full approval. Also available as limited edition housed in a gatefold sleeve that comes with a bonus 10" featuring two previously unreleased tracks (FRVR 001LTD-LP).
