NORDWALL/AARON TURNER, JOACHIM	Malign Seeds	CD	TOUCH	ASH 15-8CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 There was no premeditated methodology in place when Swedish electronics manipulator Joachim Nordwall and American guitar mangler Aaron Turner decided to collaborate on an album together. Initial experiments involved Turner submitting improvised guitar compositions to Nordwall for dissection and reassembly. While these exercises yielded interesting returns, the project truly began to bloom when Nordwall pitched several beat-oriented tracks for Turner's perusal. Beginning from a place of structure and finding ways to corrode and disrupt the patterns proved to be a more satisfying tactic than molding chaos into something resembling cohesive form. And it was from this approach that Turner-Norwall's Malign Seeds album took shape. It's difficult to pin down the point of genesis on any of Malign Seeds' seven tracks. Howling drones of indeterminant origin rise and fall out of the ether, like a chorus of tongue-less beings searching each other out with song-like sonar. Melody is eliminated, rhythm is constantly ignored if not outright subverted, timbral familiarity is avoided at all costs. What's left is a hollowed-out shell of rock music -- the scrape of the pick across the strings without any of the harmonic information, the whirr and clatter of electronics without the placating carving away of unwanted frequencies, the rasp of the voice without the underlying melody, the warts and blemishes without the defining contours. This isn't just music stripped naked, this is music where everything but the marrow of the bones has been excised, leaving the listener with something meaty and very much alive. Whether the xenomorphic sounds of Turner-Nordwall's Malign Seeds represent the grisly meat or the scraped-out husk of the 21st century's niche permutations of rock music is ultimately an exercise in language. Perhaps it's the most basic incarnation of living matter -- primordial cells embedded with the code for a more sophisticated manifestation. Perhaps it really is just a shell -- the hardiest and most resilient elements of something that is ultimately fallible and prone to decay. Or perhaps the answer is in the name of the album itself -- a kernel containing multitudes for anyone patient enough to give it time to grow, or anyone brave enough to face the potentially malevolent force nestled within. Recorded in Gothenburg, Sweden and Vashon, WA, 2021-2024. Mixed and mastered by Scott Evans in Oakland, CA, 2024. Artwork and design by Savage Pencil.

GROPPER'S PHILM, PHILIPP	2024	CD	BRETFORD RECORDS	BRTCD 011CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 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.

GROPPER'S PHILM, PHILIPP	2025	CD	BRETFORD RECORDS	BRTCD 012CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 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.

JURKEN, E.R.	To Be Continued	LP	COUNTRY THYME	CNT 103LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "ER Jurken's songwriting, as evidenced by his acclaimed first album I Stand Corrected, is inclined to wander through the past century or so of American music with a uniquely insouciant flair. On his debut, Ed (as his friends call him) did most of the playing himself, underscoring a deeply personal song-cycle of rise, fall and redemption -- a bare-bones production that ran the gamut from whoa to woe and back again! To Be Continued, his sophomore release, finds his baroque folk-pop fantasias literally on the rocks -- because this time around, Ed's got a power trio of players from Chicago's Junegrass to help him crank it up and out of the park. Once up in the air, his heavenly high tenor and vocal choir melodies further extrude the twisted psyche that underscores Ed & Co's easy riding rock 'n roll. Spelled in spots by Paul Von Mertens' extraordinary string and horn arrangements, the songs of To Be Continued aggressively transcend and defy the stings of everyday misfortune. When the new tunes finally surfaced, requesting and requiring different styles, more conventional song structures and most of all, a shot of rock and roll, Ed was there for the changes. Happy to be crafting his singular new songs in distinctly new musical textures, Ed ensconced himself once again at The Loft, with Mark Greenberg and Rian Murphy assisting the production. To back his vocals, guitar and keyboards, he brought Ben Brazil, Grant Engstrom and Jack Schemenauer in on bass, guitar, drums and percussion. The stalwart rock and roll they generate is further elevated by an old pal of Ed's from way back, Jonathan Kult, who played additional piano. Strings and horns under the direction of arranger/reedist Paul Von Mertens lift several tracks ever closer to the heavens. The combined tumult of all and sundry form an excellent vessel for the surreal melodrama of To Be Continued. As fluently as Ed's songwriting passes through eras of American pop, the songs themselves ramble easily through passageways of existence, finding equal measures of illumination, disillusion and affirmation at every turn. ER Jurken's To Be Continued is a second grand entry in the canon of outside/ inside rock and roll records by an emerging master of the form, an exquisite and timeless musical expression that meets the desperation of the modern world on the beach, with a disarmingly allusive, tuneful and surprising spirit."

DORJI, TASHI	low clouds hang, this land is on fire	Cassette	DRAG CITY	DC 969CS
$13.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "For his third new album release for Drag City, Tashi Dorji turns to the electric guitar. After the furious acoustic improvisations that drove the previous two -- Stateless and we will be wherever the fires are lit -- it's easy to imagine an album of his electric guitar improvisations as an encompassingly incendiary essay. Especially when titled low clouds hang, this land is on fire. After all, this is a man capable of tearing up the place with the tactile musical violence of Bill Orcutt and Derek Bailey! And yet, this knowledge serves to set up a greater shock: the album's disarmingly gentle musical drift. When asked why he turned the knob down from 11 for this album, Tashi says simply, 'To find the silence.' As ever with Tashi, this is a political statement. Even the search for silence takes intention and happens for a reason. In this time of such institutional inhumanity, what is there to feel but exhaustion? When seeing the faces of the deprived, what is there to feel other than hopelessness? In the face of such grief, what words are there to say? So, Tashi got a couple amps, moved from the shed where he'd done his first two DC titles, set up in a room in the family home with high ceilings and dialed in the reverb. Once the sound was in the space, reflecting in a manner that he felt congenial with his mood, he taped it. It's a striking signal, meditative and melancholy, with a delicacy comparable to the lineage of Loren Connors or Bill Frisell, the songs at times developed with the deliberate exposition of themes in raga's alap form. It's a sound that lives within silence. Once he'd laid down the sound, Tashi went back and listened to the composition of each piece. Then the words came easily. They're the titles of these songs, they provide the narrative -- or a prism, to allow us to gaze unblinking upon the awesome rot of empire. The cover art for low clouds hang, this land is on fire includes this found verse, sourced from an old anarchist 'zine."

GEOLOGIST	Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights?	2LP	DRAG CITY	DC 970LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "Geologist is the nom-de-théâtre of Brian Weitz, whose pursuits have been an active part of the music underground since he was 15, playing and working in alignment with an organic ensemble of friends that would one day choose to call what they were doing Animal Collective. Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights? migrates from that tradition, containing a number of surprise affects of its own. It is the first step into a rippling songscape in which his hurdy gurdy gives and takes multiple forms, an epic electro-acoustic textile of many colors cut from the life and times of Brian Weitz. It's an inspired ride through his phases and stages, with traditional sounds, ritual moods, avant, prog-jazz, kraut, post-punk and minimalist vibes merging in electronic infinity. Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights?, lit like a constellation, threads impulses and happenings across space, cherry picking from his psychic archive: the vibe of an energizing drive from Tucson into the desert, taken repeatedly in the early aughts; an incendiary live witness one night in the clubs in 1998; the unending thrill of the mind-meld in eternal recurrence. Geologist uses the drone and chanter strings, whose possibilities blew open the walls for him back then, to highlight these moments in the kaleidoscopic flow of memory. As he set the controls to account for a multitude of directions on this long-promised journey, Brian took inspiration from late-dawning solo eras of players like Bill Orcutt and Susan Alcorn. Then, hurdy gurdy in hand, Geologist realized structures, improvisations and rhythm tracks at home before seeking other energies at Asheville's Drop of Sun Studio. At the session, Adam McDaniel helped a lot -- he drafted drummers Emma Garau, Alianna Kalaba (FACS, Cat Power) and Ryan Oslance (The Dead Tongues, Indigo De Souza), Sham's Shane McCord on clarinets and Mikey Powers on cello. Through vagaries of fate, Brian got Adam Lion to play vibraphone in a few places, Dave 'Avey Tare' Portner for a couple bass tracks, and his son, Merrick Weitz, on acoustic guitar for 'Government Job.' Izzy Barber painted the front cover and gatefold, capturing that Tucson magic, and Bob Nastanovich lettered the back cover, supplying additional pieces of time and space to the puzzle. Through the mystery and science of record making, Geologist refracts beatifically through his back pages throughout Can I Get a Pack of Camel Lights?"

PITA	Get Out	2LP	EDITIONS MEGO	EMEGO 029LP
$40.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 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.

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.

GRUPO UM	Nineteen Seventy Seven	CD	FAR OUT RECORDINGS	FARO 254CD
$11.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 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.

$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "Nearly five years after the release of Sci-Fi Sky, Lebanon Hanover has produced your favorite soundtrack for a visit in a psychiatry clinic: Asylum Lullabies. This is the evolution of an even colder, more caustic sound by a band that has dominated the Post Punk landscape for over a decade. Asylum Lullabies is a very heavy album about dealing with mental health struggles, a breakup and ongoing wars and the current horror in the world ultimately leaving one consumed with dread, fear and a constant feeling of being crushed. Everything falls apart at the same time."

CINDYTALK	Sunset And Forever	2LP	HELEN SCARSDALE AGENCY	HMS 078LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "Cindytalk has remained a majestic proposition over the decades, one marked by a continued process of disintegration and regeneration. Change has been a constant for Cindytalk, as has been the presence of the Scottish musician Cinder, who has fronted the project since the early '80s. The first Cindytalk albums embraced a dark theatricality of post-punk dissonance and abject rock deconstruction that coupled industrial dirges with Cinder's beatific vocals, these same vocals that were once plied to the earliest This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twins recordings, forever binding Cinder to the 4AD lore. But even on those albums, Cinder was pushing the band to embrace the studio as a tool for further abstraction of sodden drones, cobwebbed dark elegance, and decayed textures. By the early aughts, Cinder had reimagined Cindytalk through the granular processes of digitalia with a handful of equally celebrated works of glitch-born expressionism for Editions Mego. Sunset and Forever is a labyrinthine opus, one that returns to the themes of the sacred and profane that have rippled through all of Cindytalk's recordings, albeit in various guises. The opening track 'Embers of Last Leaves' is a haunted piece of undulated, cyclical tones that entwine into a sorrowful chorale with Cinder's own voice. Thumps of electronic drum kicks and bass drops dot the apocalyptic menace of 'Tower of the Sun' but serve not as a rhythmic grid, but as painterly noises that further disrupt and disturb the machined dissonance. A cinematic radioluminescence blooms from the tempered electronics within 'For Those Eyes, Shadows Of Flowers.' The finale 'I See Her in Everywhere' bookends the opening number with a seemingly human chorus build from electronic tones cast in cathedral reverence. Sounds throughout may appear adjacent to those of Fennesz, Holly Herndon, or even Lovesliescrushing from time to time, but Sunset and Forever remains purely Cindytalk. Cover designed by Chris Bigg, known for his iconic design work for 4AD. Mastered by James Plotkin."

PORCELAIN HAMMER	Born For Years	LP	TWENTY ONE EIGHTY TWO RECORDING COMPANY	KHZ 1012LP
$32.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Porcelain Hammer formed in 2018 for the purpose of expanding the direction of Ben Miller's multiphonic guitar work into a full ensemble. This new direction in Miller's music is the melding of art, psych, world and no-wave with lyrical hypnagogia. Miller plays a modified Gibson Kalamazoo that has an inverted neck pick-up over the first fret which is output, along with the bridge pickup, to stereo. Contact mics are placed on the body and headstock and are also split stereo. Yet when a string section and a rhythmic, idiosyncratic percussionist becomes part of the ensemble, what was once instrument perfection becomes a universal sound. This sound combines an understanding of popular music with modern composition to deliver a sound that is urgent and accessible without the dystopian elements destroying the composition in the process. The composition line makes it through the chaos only to meld into a new form as the song cycle progresses. Soliloquies travel through the movement issuing instruction and the violin and cello add high wire tension. Composition as an act of interpersonal communication yields a socialism that inspires generations of creativity. Ben Miller has accomplished this by welcoming violinist Mike Khoury, cellist Deanna McMullen Lee, and drummer Mike List to join him in this creating this sound. Modern life influences isolation. This sound does the opposite. It shows how music can bring together while still exploring the reaches of experimentation but still show a reverence for popularity done differently.

FELLAHIN	Live at Space Mountain	LP	TWENTY ONE EIGHTY TWO RECORDING COMPANY	KHZ 1013LP
$32.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 The word "Fellahin" is derived from the Arabic for tiller or cultivator. Fellahin, as a group, is a violin, wind, and percussion format for violinist Mike Khoury. For Live at Space Mountain, Khoury travelled to Miami to work with Kenny Millions (Keshavan Maslak) on clarinet and guitar and Steve Bristol on percussion. These long format live pieces allow for cultivation and exploration of the possibilities in improvisation. The evasive moment where improvisation develops into something else. It is fleeting, but the desire to attain it is effervescent. That enthusiasm is complicated by time and the oppression of pursuing artistic endeavors, but it may not be indicative of a weathering of the soul. These experiences make the artists uniquely qualified to handle these moments -- a tip of the hat, as if hope is a strategy. Khoury is best known for his work as a soloist, in duet with percussionist Ben Hall and dancer/choreographer Leyya Tawil. Former Detroiter, Kenny Millions (aka Keshavan Maslak), is a free music veteran having led groups with John Lindberg, Sonny Murray, and a litany of downtown stalwarts like Phillip Glass, Rhys Chatham and Laurie Anderson. Steve Bristol is one of Miami's best kept secrets. A stunning percussionist and pianist, Bristol is also a producer known for his work with Kool Keith having produced the last session of proto filthy rap, Blowfly, with a cast of free jazz giants. Space Mountain may be terrifying, but that fear compels the listener to seek out other possibilities, some of which are created only if you cultivate them for yourself.

KHOURY/SEHNAOUI/YASSIN	TAQATO3	LP	TWENTY ONE EIGHTY TWO RECORDING COMPANY	KHZ 1014LP
$32.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 This is improvised sound that is based in the heritage and the heart of Mike Khoury (violin), Sharif Sehnaoui (guitar, percussion, bouzouki) and Raed Yassin (bass). TAQATO3 was recorded live with no overdubs in Bustrous Palace in Beirut, still surviving despite a civil war, foreign incursion, and the 2020 Beirut harbor explosion. In 2018, Khoury, Sehnaoui, and Yassin found themselves together following the Irtijal Festival. TAQATO3 is executed at the very precipice of improvisation but captures the spirit of the palace and the essence of the moment. The sonics fill the recording. It seems almost in unison. The tension is palpable, but the pieces seem to breathe with an intensity that writhes with composure. This exchange occurs between the musicians and the space. It doesn't seem hyperbolic to suggest that a collective consciousness of the people of Beirut can be heard in these pieces. Khoury, who is also featured on Porcelain Hammer's Born For Years, and Fellahin's Live at Space Mountain, has worked in duet with percussionist Ben Hall and dancer choreographer Leyya Tawil. Sehnaoui is one of the principals behind Beirut's long-running Irtijal Festival of Improvised Music and is a key member of A-Trio with Yassin and trumpeter Mazen Kerbaj and the ensemble Karkhana. Yassin is a bassist and visual artist. His work often examines narratives within a collective context. He is currently based in Berlin where he has his art practice and production company. In absolute terms, all improvisation is based upon previous endeavor, TAQATO3 is a moment or clarity for and between each musician on this masterful recording.

Mohammad Reza Mortazavi (b. 1979, Iran) is known for his groundbreaking work with the tombak and daf, traditional Persian drums that he has radically redefined through new playing techniques and extended vocabulary. Mortazavi began playing the tombak at the age of six. By nine, he had already outpaced his teacher and won Iran's national tombak competition -- a distinction he would earn six more times. By his early twenties, he was widely regarded as one of the foremost players of the instrument. Since then, his music has continued to evolve, embracing new forms and vocabularies beyond tradition. Following his acclaimed 2019 release Ritme Jaavdanegi, Nexus marks Mortazavi's return to Latency with a full-length album recorded entirely in Berlin. The record introduces new elements into his sound: voice, effects, and treatments never before used in his discography. These experiments serve not as departures but as further extensions of his ongoing exploration of rhythm, resonance, and transformation. Nexus refers to a point of connection or intersection, a meeting place where different energies, times, and spaces converge and transform. The cover artwork features an image by American visual artist and filmmaker Jordan Belson (1926 -- 2011). Belson's work, often referred to as "cosmic cinema" or "visual music", explores themes of consciousness, transcendence, and the infinite nature of the universe. The pairing with Mortazavi's percussive, trance-induced musical language feels immediate: two approaches to rhythm and energy, balance and harmony, coming together at a single point. Mortazavi's hypnotic live performances have been featured at renowned venues including the Berlin Philharmonie, Paris Pantheon and the Sydney Opera House. In recent years, Mortazavi's rhythmic explorations have resonated deeply with the experimental electronic music scene, leading to collaborations with artists such as Burnt Friedman and Mark Fell.

QUEALY, SAM	Jawbreaker	CD	MUSIC & CRAFT	MCSQ 005CD
$21.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 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.

FRANKIE & KELMAN DURAN	McArthur	LP	RAUM MUSIK	RAUM 007LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Berlin-based composer and vocalist FRANKIE, also known as Franziska Aigner, and Dominican-American producer Kelman Duran meet at the Twelve Apostles Church, in the Berlin district of Schöneberg, sometime in 2022, at the beginning of the spring season. They were each asked to engage the space's solemnity, and its reverence, through distinct performances. Their chance encounter, abounding with mutual curiosity towards each other's practices, smoothened the path for a years-long collaboration, culminating in McArthur, their first joint album. Following a period of exchanging musical fragments and prompts at a distance, Aigner and Duran come together in Athens, and later in Los Angeles, to prepare the stuff and material for the album, slowly developing a body of work informed by shared hauntings, and a commitment towards the disjointed and the residual. The result is an album where time and geography are made elastic, and where sonic improvisations become a site for quiet, and cryptic, articulations of intimacy. Throughout the album, there is a double process at play -- that of solitary work on the one hand, and of collective weeding out on the other. "BWV 639" is a reworking of a Bach cantata, the time signature of which Aigner stretches towards a new composition. Pianist Iris Moldiz recorded the part in Salzburg's Mozarteum, dislodging the classical canon into eerie territory. "Techno 127 BPM" invites Aigner's searing cello lines to unfurl over, and carve itself a space within, a skeletal techno beat. "McArthur" anchors a wandering trumpet solo by Zhang Hungtai against a deep bassline. Produced by Duran in Warp Studio, which overlooks McArthur Park in Los Angeles, the piece is an attempt at sketching a horizon of convergence, and of possibility. There is, across McArthur, a stubborn, if not militant, refusal to arrive at completeness, and an insistence on finding potentiality in the thresholds. If unknowability and the fear of extinction appear to rule our present conjuncture, then an accompanying soundtrack worthy of its name should express a determined engagement with, and a generous attunement to, the contradictions at play.

SEGALL & THE MUGGERS, TY	"LIVE" "AT" "THE" "BBC"	LP	SEA NOTE	SN 023LP
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "January, 2016. The times: scary. Tomorrow: kiss it goodbye. This was the headspace for Emotional Mugger's necksnapping sketch when it dropped that very month those ten fateful years ago. Off the back of 2014's expansive Manipulator and the months of touring that followed, Ty was down to party with whatever extreme, flipped-script scene came welling up through him. Emotional Mugger, its forked tongue stuffed in deep cheek, landed the jump, putting the 'sick' back into 'satiric,' featuring eleven of the most rancid and monstrous cuts in the Segall catalog -- sequenced, as ever, with an almost mystic third eye/ ear predilection for the immaculate distribution of album gravity. Ty'd played most of the parts on the album, excepting some key drop-ins from close associates, including Wand's Cory Hanson and Evan Burrows, The Cairo Gang's Emmett Kelly, Mikal Cronin and King Tuff himself, Kyle Thomas. The vibes were so right with this crew, he dubbed them The Muggers, stretched a rubber baby mask over his head (with extra space sliced out for his mouth to scream through), and they all hit the road a few weeks in front of the album, rolling over the US through the end of March, then heading to Europe for some more. That's when "LIVE" "AT" "THE" "BBC" happened. They were cutting thru the UK, four shows in five days -- just enough time for a Mark Riley session for the BBC! Fifty shows into it, The Muggers were in full-on road mode, their fiveheaded monstrosity fully backing Ty -- who for perhaps the only time in all his years of touring -- carried only a mic, to focus all his energy on singing. Here, he leads the charge, his pipes deeply tanned, but otherwise unfettered from their nightly regimen. Hammering out a nineteen-minute slice of their regular show, he and The Muggers' free spirits can be heard in every single moment, with special weirdness coming whenever Cory, Emmett, Mikal and Kyle all chip in on backing vocals. It sounds, a decade hence, like the Black Flag version that never was."

PILLBERT	Memoria	LP	SQUAMA	SQM 035LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 On her debut LP Memoria, songwriter/producer Lilian Mikorey aka Pillbert contemplates themes of identity and belonging, hardships and heartbreak in her signature blend of bendy folk guitars, field recordings and intimate vocals. Moving to London from Munich, not yet 20 years old, Mikorey realized she was leaving her home behind for good. The subsequent state of being lost and alone in a place too temporary to start building the foundation for a new one led her to question the concept of home itself. Is it friends? Family? A house? "I started collecting objects, bones, sticks, stones and kept them close," she says, as to create a cosmos traveling with her. "I was tracing the actual feeling of being home to the point where I built a dreamhouse in my head, as an idea, just to evoke that feeling." Soon enough she would learn that yielding to the yearning of actually going to that house, must be an inevitably sad experience. A photo she took on a family visit to East-Munich became a reference and starting point for Memoria. It was a small house in her neighborhood, the windows lit as dusk sets in. To Mikorey, it looked haunting, radiating warmth but somehow looking abandoned at the same time. "I wanted to make music that sounds like this photo." She started recording the sounds of the objects she had gathered and of her surroundings, building an archive and sonic material to work with. From her mid-teens she had learned to produce with Ableton and now she picked up the guitar, too, learning it autodidactically by playing around, creating sounds. At some point in the process, she realized it's okay to be lost for a while and by enduring the feeling, there's room for something new to grow, far off from any general idea of what home should mean. The album, over the course of ten tracks, traces these three phases of building a home in your head, realizing it's not a remedy, nor forever and coming to terms with it. You've grown in the process and the album is a guiding light for everyone who strives to do so, too.

VA	Music from the Caucasus: The Archive of ORED Recordings, 2013-2023	CD	TAL	TAL 039CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 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.

TORTOISE	Millions Now Living Will Never Die (Hi Melt Silver & Blue Vinyl)	LP	THRILL JOCKEY	THRILL 025X-LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 2026 repress. Hi Melt Silver & Blue Vinyl version. "Millions Now Living Will Never Die is the second full-length offering from Tortoise. The majority of the material was first conceived during an idyllic 10-day retreat in Northern Vermont, where the group were able to explore their ideas in a setting that fostered introspection and inspiration: the results are clearly evident in the washes of Klangfärben (tone color) and rhythm that permeate the album. The sounds and ideas contained therein can be viewed as a logical extension of those found their first (eponymous) LP on Thrill Jockey where the group outlined an agenda exploring texture, space, and mood. MNLWND, however, offers not only an expansion of those ideas but also the introduction of several new elements into the musical equation. New instrumental textures (marimbas and other mallet percussion on "Djed" (pronounced "jed"); conventional electric guitar on "Glass Museum"; analog synthesis/sequencing and found sound on "Dear Grandma and Grandpa") and structural ideas (the extended formal procedures of "Djed"; the non-narrative song "Along the Banks of Rivers") represent clear developments and redefinition's of the group's sound. Recording commenced immediately upon returning to Chicago, though due to a variety of reasons, the entire recording and mixing process became elongated. This less hurried approach to album making allowed the group to explore more of the possibilities inherent in the material; the 21-minute "Djed" is ample proof of this. The final version of the track went through approximately 15 different stages of mixing and editing. Like their debut, MNLWND was recorded and mixed by John McEntire (also at that time had produced material by Stereolab, Run On, The Sea and Cake, Trans Am, and Come). The majority of the album was recorded and mixed at Idful Music Corporation in Chicago, with the remainder being realized at the newly established SOMA Electronic Music Studios. MNLWND is the first studio recording to feature the talents of David Pajo, who joined to fill the position vacated by Bundy K. Brown in late 1994."

WALKER JR., BARRY	Paleo Sol	CD	THRILL JOCKEY	THRILL 642CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 "Barry Walker Jr. is a pedal steel player and guitarist whose roots in Americana, country and folk traditions influence his melding of minimalism, ambient and spiritual music. The Portland-based instrumentalist is also a member of the Rose City Band, known for his gorgeous phrasing and deft interplay with guitarist Ripley Johnson. On Paleo Sol, Walker demonstrates his singular voice as a pedal steel player and composer. Evoking the American western ranges and basins, the album embodies a longer, geologic view of time that patiently marvels at the ripples of change throughout lifetimes and ages. Walker is joined on Paleo Sol by drummer Rob Smith (Rhytion, Pigeons) and bassist and Mouth Painter bandmate Jason Willmon (Fruited Planes). Paleo Sol's tranquil landscapes glide, built on warm finger-picked guitar figures and pedal steel swells coupled with deft percussion and bass touches by Smith and Willmon respectively. The trio plays with exceptional fluidity either completing each other's' phrasing or working together to build momentum. Smith notes: 'The drums are not keeping time as much as evidencing its elasticity, mixing into the other instruments, changing phase states.' Every gesture on the album is rich with intention, moving with grace and playing with timbre and time. The pieces of Paleo Sol were composed during a monumental shift in Walker's own life, around the birth of his first child. Walker's compositions are guided by a serenity and gentleness that makes for a dreamy soundtrack. His acumen as a composer and instrumentalist are on full display on Paleo Sol. The album is a gorgeous reflection of Walker's own internal world as well as the detailed environment he's spent so much of his life exploring as a field geologist. "In human reckoning, the essence of the solid earth is mostly still. Those engaged in deep time inquiry recognize the vigor of Earth's behavior, and quiescence is a small part of the action." --Barry Walker "This is drift music, sustained by dusky drones and quiet fingerstyle. Everything's as gentle as a sunkissed stream. The pathways that once felt free and clear now sport an uneasy shade, yet the guitar picks on." --NPR Music

$39.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 Somewhere between revelation and delusion, Euphoria Bound maps a familiar trajectory: the irresistible pull towards dissolution, the gradual erasure of memory, the self-rendered irretrievable. It moves between states of consciousness where such distinctions of enlightenment or self-deception are erased. Across ten tracks, the album constructs a spectrum of sound that is both ambitious and uncompromising. The approach here is more direct than recent releases, with textures that accumulate and disintegrate with renewed urgency.

MASON, LEE	Music By Lee Mason (1971)	LP	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSLP 119LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/30/2026 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.

ASAHITO, NANJO	M	LP	BLACK EDITIONS/LA MUSICA RECORDS	BELA 005-045LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 A collection of intimate songs traced from the spectral darkness by Nanjo Asahito, the notorious leader of some of Japan's key underground psychedelic units (High Rise, Mainliner, Musica Transonic, Toho Sara, etc) Recorded between 1980 and 1988 and previously only available in a cassette micro-edition released by his La Musica Records label in the mid-1990s. Remastered and available for the first time on vinyl and digital. From the original La Musica cassette notes: "A compilation of secret projects recorded over a period of twenty years. Deeply personal music that achieves a strange balance between beat folk balladry and off-key mumbling. Suggestive self-celebratory music conceived as a confirmation of existence." A lesser-known side of Nanjo Asahito -- if all you know of his work is the overloaded, intensified psych-rock and free-sound of his group projects then the solo songs on M gently redraw the contours of Nanjo's private universe. There's something gem-like in the way these five songs are formed, even as they accrue grit and dirt while drifting out of the speakers. Here, Nanjo grabs handfuls of gentle chord changes, allows them to rotate in the air, suspended in reverb, flickering in half-light, as he murmurs drowsy melodies. The closing "Eucharist" pushes everything through a thin layer of distortion; elsewhere, tinkling piano, from guest Matsuoka Takashi, who also performed with Keiji Haino's Nijiumu, disturbs dust molecules to dance through hazy air. LP is housed in die-cut "Uni-Pak" style gatefold with metallic gold ink and soft touch finishes with printed inner sleeve. Vinyl pressed at RTI.

COIL	Backwards (White Vinyl)	2LP	COLD SPRING RECORDS	CSR 203LTD-LP
$43.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 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.

LYSAGHT, PATRICK	For the Birds	LP	HOLIDAYS RECORDS	HOL 146LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 Edition of 250 copies, embossed cover. 1984. Inside the Rainforest Birdhouse at the Rio Grande Zoo, Patrick Lysaght played flute, strings, and percussion among 150 birds of 42 species. Not recording them. Playing with them. For 18 months the scientist (and artist) has been playing music (flute, strings and percussion) in the Rainforest Birdhouse at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque. This interactive environment, populated by 150 birds representing 42 species, has provided more than an interesting background for music; rather, the birds have contributed to the resulting compositions on an equal level with the musician. Complex clouds of point notes build to a rich density, as mutual interspecies stimulation assumes a path based on the excitement of chance and the probability of experience. The material on this record has been selected with emphasis on bird responsiveness and instrument variety within the aesthetic parameters of blending with and enhancing this unique sonic atmosphere. Mastered from the original tapes by Giuseppe Ielasi.

ELEKTRIKTUS	Electronic Mind Waves	LP	ICTUS	ICTUSRE 012LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 In the summer of 1976, a peculiar album appeared in Italian record shops, its cover bearing no artist name, only the cryptic moniker Elektriktus. For the handful of listeners who encountered it before it vanished from circulation, the music posed a question that wouldn't be answered for decades: who had created this strange hybrid of jazz sensibility and kosmische synthesis, this music that seemed to emanate from somewhere between Cologne and Calabria? The answer was hiding in plain sight. Andrea Centazzo, by then a recognized figure in European free improvisation -- a percussionist who had shared stages with Steve Lacy, Evan Parker, and Derek Bailey -- had been leading a double life. Between 1973 and 1976, in the intervals between touring with Giorgio Gaslini's quartet (Gaslini would soon co-compose Dario Argento's Profondo Rosso with Goblin), Centazzo retreated to his farmhouse in Moruzzo and to studios in Pistoia, where he conducted experiments with Minimoog, Davolisint, and the GEM Rodeo 49, an Italian-manufactured synthesizer that had become essential equipment in the country's progressive rock underground. What emerged from these sessions was music that occupied a peculiar position in the taxonomy of 1970s electronic experimentation. PDU Records -- owned by the pop icon Mina and by the mid-seventies functioning as Italy's primary distributor for German avant-garde labels like Ohr, Brain, Kosmische Musik, Pilz, and Kosmische Kuriere -- recognized the value of what Centazzo had created. But there was a commercial calculus at work: the label's executives worried that Centazzo's established identity as a jazz percussionist would confuse the market for cosmic electronics, then in the process of consolidating as a genre distinct from both progressive rock and academic electronic music. The solution was to create Elektriktus -- a pseudonym that functioned as a conceptual portmanteau, fusing "electronic" with "Ictus," the name Centazzo would soon give to his own label and to his series of percussion works. The name suggested both electronic impulse and percussive attack, a synthesis that accurately described the music's character. For where German kosmische musik tended toward the infinite and the abstract, Centazzo's electronic music retained a tactile, almost physical quality.

ELEKTRIKTUS	Electronic Mind Waves Volume 2	LP	ICTUS	ICTUSRE 013LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 In 2019, Andrea Centazzo discovered unlabeled tape reels in his mother's attic in Udine -- boxes assumed lost seven years earlier. What emerged from these deteriorating reels, transferred by engineer Sergio Tomasini during COVID lockdowns, was unexpected: unreleased recordings from the original Elektriktus sessions of 1973-76, alongside other archival materials including previously unknown collaborations with Steve Lacy and Evan Parker from the same period. Centazzo's solution was conceptually elegant: add contemporary digital electronics to the original analog Elektriktus recordings, creating temporal palimpsest in which the seventy-something composer engages in dialogue with his younger self. Crucially, his fundamental approach hasn't changed. "Making a 10-minute loop meant playing and overdubbing for 10 minutes!" This rejection of computer automation, this insistence on the hand-played and physically executed, links 2025 to 1975 through continuous methodology. Electronic Mind Waves Volume 2 operates in complex registers: contemporary electronics don't "update" the original recordings but exist in conversation with them. By overlaying 2025 digital work onto 1975 analog recordings, Centazzo creates proof that affinities between cosmic drift and percussive grounding were present in the original conception, waiting to be heard. This temporal doubling produces music that is neither nostalgic recreation nor radical revision but something more complex -- a conversation between past and present, between the composer who created these sounds in the mid-1970s and the artist who now understands their full implications.

$38.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 "Desmond Dekker recorded some of his best-known songs together with his backing group the Aces (consisting of Wilson James and Easton Barrington Howard). Their debut album 007 Shanty Town includes their single of the same name, which made him Jamaican music's first outer national superstar, reaching the 14th place in the UK charts. You'll hear how the Ska music from the mid-'60s is developing to the Rocksteady sound. This was 'Ska' or 'Blue Beat,' and the lyrics come from the Calypso-Mento method of telling about current events in music. So, in a groovy way, Desmond, James and Barry (the Aces) have given a report of love, politics, nagging women, the celebration of the Fifth anniversary of Independence, and gang warfare. This is where it all started before Desmond became the international star. Even before Bob Marley and Jimmy Cliff Jamaica already had their own international superstar, Desmond Dekker was his name. 007 Shanty Town is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on purple colored vinyl."

WITHERS, BILL	Just As I Am (Yellow Vinyl)	LP	MUSIC ON VINYL	MOV 378COL-LP
$38.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 "Bill Withers was a modest, gentle, and yet towering musical figure responsible for some of the most important, universally known soul hits ever written. It's no wonder that 'Just the Two of Us' and 'Ain't No Sunshine' won him two Grammy awards and undoubtedly played a huge role in getting him inducted into both the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Hall of fame. Just As I Am is Withers' debut album and is by all measures a brilliant first outing. The record features twelve tunes of which most are Bill's own compositions, each song a reflection of his unique introspective, folky take on soul music. By far the most famous song on the album is the smash hit 'Ain't No Sunshine,' originally released as a B-side to the tune 'Harlem' in 1971. It turned Withers into a worldwide soul icon, so much so that the song won him a Grammy for Best R&B Song in 1972. Considering the other single on the album is 'Grandma's Hands,' it's not hard to understand why it's ranked #304 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. This edition includes a booklet featuring a reflective essay on Bill Withers written by writer, poet and civil rights activist Kevin Powell. Just As I Am is available as a limited edition of 7500 individually numbered copies on translucent yellow colored vinyl."

MOORE, ANTHONY	Monkey's Birthday	LP	PARADIGM DISCS	PD 042LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 The collaboration between Anthony Moore and filmmaker David Larcher began in the late '60s, at the start of both their respective careers and lasted many years. Following on from the 2024 release of the soundtrack to Mare's Tail (PD 041LP) (the first collaboration with Larcher) comes the release of the soundtrack to his second film, Monkey's Birthday. This LP is a condensation of the essence of this six-hour film. The sound is partly taken directly from the existing soundtrack and partly from stereo masters that have survived through the decades. Shot and edited between 1973 and 1975 this epic film moves through a variety of landscapes, both physical and abstract. It was filmed in various locations, starting in Germany and moving through Hungary, Romania and most substantially in rural Turkey. In large part this is a road movie that takes the filmed events and locations and uses them as sources for further experimentation. In much the same way, the location recordings made by Anthony Moore are used as raw material for creating much of the soundtrack, working from a battery powered studio in the back of his truck in this east bound convoy. The previously released excerpt, "Plains Of Hungary (ReR Quarterly Vol.2 No.1)" is included on this album in its rightful place among the collages of Islamic chant, field recordings, tape loops, jam sessions etc. Heathcote Williams is also in the mix reading from esoteric texts. Also feature, alongside various voices from the crew and general public, is a repeated theme using the looped cut up voice recordings from the two other members of Slapp Happy (Dagmar Krause and Peter Blegvad), who took to the road for part of this grueling journey. Comes with large four-sided insert. Numbered edition of 500.

VAGOU & LAUTEN DER SEELE, ROUDI	Taghelle Nacht	LP	QUINDI RECORDS	QUI 022LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 Across an extensive suite of enchanting miniatures, Matthias Kremsreiter and Christian Schoppik present the hypnagogic vision of Taghelle Nacht. Recording under their respective Roudi Vagou and Läuten der Seele aliases, Kremsreiter and Schoppik combine their distinct but equally accomplished instrumental practices into a new collaboration that weaves swooning samples amongst instrumental passages. They lead listeners through 16 vignettes that revel in the cognitive dissonance and seductive magic of moonlight at midnight. Both artists have past form within the folds of contemporary experimental electronic music in Germany. Kremsreiter's work as alibikonkret has manifested on DIY tape releases created with a methodical, technically-minded approach. Debuting his Roudi Vagou pseudonym on Taghelle Nacht, he pivots to a more playful, instinctively felt method that allows the compositions to flow with a natural cadence. Schoppik has been a key figure in the celebrated dark-ambient-folk scene, not least as part of the group Brannten Schnüre. His work as Läuten der Seele includes the acclaimed "water trilogy" of LPs between 2022 and 2024, with a greater emphasis on instrumental, atmospheric production, and a last, stunning collaborative album with Nový Svět's Jota Solo. On Taghelle Nacht the precise ingredients of each piece soften at the edges as tape loops and swathes of reverb seal the joints between spellbinding melodic refrains. At every turn a new scene is painted, distinct from the last and yet all bound up in the pervasive, pale blue light cast over the sleeping landscape Kremsreiter and Schoppik have sculpted. Snatches of song drift by like dreamlike fragments, and achingly tender flourishes fleetingly appear and retreat -- ideas and expressions momentarily caught in the light before retreating into the shadows once more. This is the evocative world of Taghelle Nacht -- an unsettling depiction of the surreal blend of memories and imagination that merge into each other once the sun goes down.

WHITELANDS	Sunlight Echoes	CD	SONIC CATHEDRAL	SCR 340CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 Whitelands' second album Sunlight Echoes builds on their elemental debut with a more expansive sound that takes them out of the shoegaze shadows to somewhere bigger, better and brighter. Produced by long-time collaborator Ian Flynn and mixed by double Grammy Award-winner Eduardo De La Paz (New Order, The Horrors, The Charlatans, The KVB, Drug Store Romeos), there are soaring string arrangements (by Iskra Strings) and lush guest vocals from labelmate Emma Anderson. With maturity comes a new-found confidence, so not only are there stunning melodies everywhere, but Etienne's vocals are front and center throughout. The first half of the album has an almost Britpop breeziness, that belies the serious subject matter that inspired the songs, while the second half gets heavier, in all senses, with added grit and gravitas. Sunlight Echoes is a poetic, melodic statement of intent from this formidable band. Whitelands have fought back and triumphed in the face of adversity.

WHITELANDS	Sunlight Echoes (Green Vinyl)	LP	SONIC CATHEDRAL	SCR 340I-LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 LP version. Green vinyl. Whitelands' second album Sunlight Echoes builds on their elemental debut with a more expansive sound that takes them out of the shoegaze shadows to somewhere bigger, better and brighter. Produced by long-time collaborator Ian Flynn and mixed by double Grammy Award-winner Eduardo De La Paz (New Order, The Horrors, The Charlatans, The KVB, Drug Store Romeos), there are soaring string arrangements (by Iskra Strings) and lush guest vocals from labelmate Emma Anderson. With maturity comes a new-found confidence, so not only are there stunning melodies everywhere, but Etienne's vocals are front and center throughout. The first half of the album has an almost Britpop breeziness, that belies the serious subject matter that inspired the songs, while the second half gets heavier, in all senses, with added grit and gravitas. Sunlight Echoes is a poetic, melodic statement of intent from this formidable band. Whitelands have fought back and triumphed in the face of adversity.

ITCHY & THE NITS	Greetings From Itchy & The Nits	LP	TOTAL PUNK RECORDS	TPR 147LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 "Itchy & The Nits could very well hold the distinction of being the world's most charming band. They possess a friendship that one could only imagine exists in teen sitcoms of the '60s and '70s and Saturday morning cartoons. The world could collapse tomorrow (seems probable) and The Nits would be gathered in some cave banging on rocks, strumming rubber bands and putting each other in stitches. They are the real deal 21st century Monkees. Even at their most introspective, on song such as 'Waiting Around' and 'Gimmie a Break,' the sounds are more suited for the beach than the funeral parlor, and simplicity is still the order of the day. Itchy & The Nits have spent years honing their craft while touring across the US, EU and Japan. They know how to boogie, make you laugh, and write a catchy melody. David Forcier's outstanding production really allows those melodies to shine while still capturing the bands' primal allure!"

YAMILA	Noor	LP	UMOR REX	UR 159LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 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.

AUFDERHAAR AND CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA, CHRISTINE	Aurora's Sunrise (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)	2LP	WRWTFWW RECORDS	WRWTFWW 121LP
$41.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/6/2026 WRWTFWW Records presents a super limited vinyl release of Christine Aufderhaar and City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra's original soundtrack for the critically acclaimed, multiple award-winning 2022 animated-documentary film Aurora's Sunrise. The release comes as a 45rpm double LP in a heavyweight sleeve with inside out print. Aurora's Sunrise is directed by Inna Sahakyan, and tells the extraordinary true story of Aurora Mardiganian, a survivor of the Armenian genocide who later became an actress in the United States. The film combines animated storytelling, archival footage, interviews, and rediscovered scenes from the 1919 silent film, and one of Hollywood's first blockbusters, Auction of Souls, in which Aurora starred. Aurora's Sunrise was Armenia's official submission for the 95th Academy Awards for best international feature film. It has won over 20 international prizes. The composer, Christine Aufderhaar, is an accomplished German composer based in Berlin and Los Angeles, with over 20 years of experience and more than 50 films to her name. Her background spans classical, jazz, film scoring, and contemporary orchestral work, and she has been the recipient of numerous awards for her work. The soundtrack performed by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra is deeply emotional, blending intimate melodies and majestic orchestral work, and weaving together themes of memory, survival, loss, and hope. A perfect fit for collectors of film scores, contemporary classical music, and limited vinyl releases.

WORK MONEY DEATH	A Portal to Here	CD	ATA RECORDS	ATA 044CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 ATA Records present the new release by Work Money Death, A Portal to Here. This album continues WMD's exploration of spiritual jazz and the sounds and styles that evolved out of the '60s New Thing, particularly the recordings of Alice Coltrane and Pharaoh Sanders. The first WMD album released since the tragic death of ATA guitarist Chris Earl Dawkins in early 2025, all four tracks reference the journey that band members and the studio have been on -- in many ways this record is a testament and tribute to Chris, his musicality and creativity. Featuring WMD stalwarts Tony Burkill, Neil Innes, Sam Hobbs, and Sam Bell, the album introduces Sorcerers keyboardist Johnny Richards to the WMD sound. Richards brings a fresh new take to the piano role here, drawing on what is clearly a broad knowledge of jazz history and channeling that through his own unique 21st century musical perspective. The album also features contributions from Alice Roberts on harp, bringing the spirit of Alice Coltrane, Ben Powling on baritone saxophone, Richard Ormrod on woodwind, and Kev Holbrough and Steve Parry on brass. Those Sun Ra-esque horn sections lift the mood whenever they appear. Standout tracks are the second, "Dance of the Spirits," with a strong core of "Baptism and The Blues" and some lovely playing by Richards, and the third track, "Brother Earl," which begins with Tony on flute over rhythms that are directly reminiscent of open-hearted, late-'60s spirituality. A Portal to Here is a stunning addition to the WMD catalogue and a clear statement that the band continues to create and produce, whatever life throws its way.

SCHLIPPENBACH TRIO	Elf Bagatellen	2LP	CIEN FUEGOS	CF 031LP
$49.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 The historical importance, influence, and stature of the Schlippenbach Trio was cemented long ago. Formed in 1970 by German pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach in the early days of European free jazz, the group also featured British saxophonist Evan Parker and German drummer Paul Lovens, and soon formed the core of the mighty Globe Unity Orchestra from that point on. As heard on its 1972 debut for FMP Pakistani Pomade -- reissued by Cien Fuegos back in 2015 -- its foundational music helped establish the group's feverish free improvisation as a dominant thread in the history of European free jazz. The intellectual and artistic curiosity of the group's members, to say nothing of their paradigm-shifting technique and collective sensibility, changed the course of free improv forever. Schlippenbach Trio soon snapped back into its working methodology on its follow up album, Physics, in 1993, which further elevates the singularity of Elf Bagatellen. The album captured a different side of the trio and helped inform the modern classical tilt in European improvised music. Cien Fuegos now reissues this undeniable classic, making it available on vinyl for the first time ever.

A blurring of three vastly different heads into a single disjointed, but fluid organism, How So? finds Yuta Matsumura (The Lewers, Keanu Nelson), Amelia Besseny (Troth, Impatiens) and Cooper Bowman (Troth, CD3) working with vocals, melodica, deeply pulled samples, guitar, drum machine, synths and resourceful percussion. An Elixa-blueprint of sideways ambient rituals, fog-thick melodica dub and paranoid trip hop by way of Sydney's pioneering industrial collagists, the LP recirculates beyond its original 150-copy confines for those who missed its first apparition.

KMRU	Kin	CD	EDITIONS MEGO	EMEGO 319CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 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.

$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Also available on black vinyl (HPS 361LP), green vinyl (HPS 361LTD-LP), and striped vinyl (HPS 361ULTRA-LP). "The Grotesque Within is what we proudly call our first true self-produced album. Recorded in the winter of 2025 between Outside Inside Studio in Treviso and our own home studio, it marks a raw and uncompromising chapter in our sound. The record weaves a dense narrative inspired by the unsettling atmosphere found in the works of Thomas Ligotti -- where reality constantly threatens to unravel, and horror seeps into the everyday. Much like Ligotti's existential tales, The Grotesque Within doesn't simply portray darkness -- it observes how the absurd and the horrific have become indistinguishable from our modern reality. Each track is a confrontation -- with the bizarre, the dissonant, and the disturbingly familiar. This is not just an album. It's a descent into the uncanny that already surrounds us." --Oreyeon

SERVICIO AL CLIENTE	Alien Tropical	10" LP	IMARA	IMARA 006LP
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 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."

DAPHNI	Butterfly	CD	JIAOLONG	JIAOLONG 034CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 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).

ELSAS	APORIAMOR	LP	LAPSUS RECORDS	LAPSUS 043LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 APORIAMOR explores the affective ontological and organic processes of love and lust in the turmoil of an urban existence, through the female lens. It expresses the process of strengthening through heartbreak in its various forms. With her debut EP The Art of the Concrete, elsas knew that by giving that name to a record which was ironically expansive and experimental, she would be calling for a distilled and clearer path further down the line. This is what she's been incorporating into the sonic world of this new album, APORIAMOR, signifying the birth of a more matured and distilled version of herself as an artist. With APORIAMOR elsas conveys a personal process of healing in the romantic space. Through different experiences of heartbreak, elsas builds a language -- a coping mechanism attached to its subsequent artistic expression -- that isn't founded on hardness or a closing-off, but instead, on a playful but profound reckoning, and learning of self-worth. APORIAMOR embraces the complexities of being a lover-girl: of moving through life with an open heart. It celebrates the clarity, sweet hindsight, and detachment that come from processing emotion. Her sound in this record is naturally referential of both her Mediterranean heritage and UK alternative music -- intrinsic parts of her lived experience. She has had the opportunity to collaborate with artists she deeply admires, each exchange enriching her creative world. The experience of working hand-in-hand with Sampha has been a core of her evolution as an artist. She has also collaborated in many forms with artists like Florence + the Machine, Little Simz, Jordan Rakei, Jockstrap, Obongjayar, Black Country New Road, Genevieve Artadi (KNOWER) and Duval Timothy. Additionally, her ongoing work with the Idrîsî Ensemble, of which she is a core member, continues to inform her artistic depth. Experimentation and modulation are an intrinsic part of elsas' method, conceiving songs as organisms that respond to their surroundings. Collaborators on this collection of songs include Shrink, Will Lister, Gabriel Gifford, Ethan P. Flynn and more. The record was mixed by David Wrench and Nathan Boddy, and mastered by Matt Colton.

GARRICK, MICHAEL	Late Autumn Sunshine	2LP	MY ONLY DESIRE RECORDS	MOD 008LP
$41.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Double LP version "These unreleased 1970s sessions from legendary pianist/composer Michael Garrick, see him lead two groups of top Brit jazzers, who perform eight original compositions by Garrick that display his flair for combining emotive writing with modal jazz grooves The album is made up of two sessions recorded for BBC Radio 2 at Maida Vale Studios, from 1973 and 1978 that feature vocalist Norma Winstone, trumpeter Henry Lowther, saxophonists Art Themen, Tony Coe and Alan Wakeman, trombonist David Horler, bassists Dave Green and Jeff Clyne, and drummers Trevor Tomkins and John Marshall. The material, all composed by Garrick, includes some favorites from the classic LPs 'Troppo' and 'October Woman'. He wouldn't record the tracks 'River Running' and 'Galilee' until decades later, so this is the first time these '70s arrangements have been released. Whereas 'Robin's Rest' and the title track are exclusive to this album -- providing a fascinating insight into this uniquely talented artist. Garrick was at the forefront of British jazz from the mid-1960s until his death in 2011 aged 78. He was a key member of The Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet, composing the jazz gems 'Dusk Fire' and 'Black Marigolds' and released a series of seminal 1960s and 1970s LPs including Cold Mountain, The Heart is a Lotus and Black Marigolds. Remastered by Caspar Sutton-Jones at Gearbox Records, Late Autumn Sunshine is available as a 2LP set housed in a gatefold sleeve (a limited edition of 600 copies) and 'mini-LP' gatefold CD, with sleeve notes by Daniel Spicer (Jazzwise, The Wire). Late Autumn Sunshine celebrates Michael Garrick's memory and should introduce him to many new fans."

ESKORBUTO	Maldito País: Primera Época 1982-84	2CD	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 297CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 In Santurtzi, on the left bank of the Nervión estuary, a unique band was born: Eskorbuto. Iosu Expósito and Jualma Suarez lived in working class neighborhoods that had grown fast. Both Kabiezes and Mamariga were, in the '50s, mainly rural areas of Santurtzi. In the '60s, industrialization and rampant development transformed them into urban areas without any investment in urbanism. Some elements for the alchemy led to the explosion: intelligent young guys who were nevertheless incapable of adhering to school discipline, a country in full swing towards freedom after 40 years of dictatorship. It was a context very familiar with the turbulence of the "Basque conflict," with neighbors seduced by the "armed fight" and the "liberation of Euskal Herria," with the question of "identity" constantly present, traumatic episodes of killings, tortures and imprisonments. One day at the end of the '70s they decided to start a band. The first period of Eskorbuto's life, before the damage done by the needle became noticeable, was incredibly fruitful. They soon found a rehearsal space, thanks to their first drummer, and there the first songs were born. Iñaki Laiseka played bass for them, and that role was also taken by "Seni" and "Garlopa", two precursors of "left bank" punk that played some gigs with them. Later on they found Paco Galán, who also came from a similar neighborhood to theirs (Repélega, in Portugalete). Paco always was the necessary engine, the piece around which the rest revolved, which guaranteed continuity. His drumming also added an apparently chaotic element to the already unbridled guitar melodies and visionary texts, halfway between dirty realism and Edgar Allan Poe's nightmares. These recordings are taken from those early times of excitement and vertigo, of journeys to Madrid under a train's seat and endless trips up and down the left bank looking for "someone that I've heard is selling an amp". Now the Reina Sofía Museum exhibits their Impuesto Revolucionario LP and there's no Spanish speaking country without legions of fans.

ESKORBUTO	Los Demenciales Chicos Acelerados	CD	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 350CD
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Los demenciales chicos acelerados is Eskorbuto's fourth studio album, originally released by Discos Suicidas in 1987. It was their most ambitious project, a double LP rock opera in the vein of Quadrophenia by their beloved The Who. It tells the story of an unscrupulous young man who wishes to achieve power at all costs, stepping over everyone and everything in order to do whatever he wants politically. In the end, he falls due to his ego and is betrayed by those around him. Hence lines such as "crowds are a nuisance", "I'll come unscathed out of the attacks planned by my image consultant" or "shouting in front of the scum". In 1988 band members Iosu and Juanma narrated the album's concept and story on a Radio Euskadi show, the Basque Country's public broadcaster. This satirical political plot also explains the controversial Nazi pictures on the front and back covers. Eskorbuto were equaling the unprincipled politician of their rock opera with the Nazis and Franco's dictatorship. It's a conceptual record that attacks any kind of dictatorial political regime. Although Los demenciales came out on Discos Suicidas, in typical Eskorbuto fashion the band stole a copy of the master and sold it to the Twins label, which also released it a few months later with a different cover. The original sleeve caused some trouble, to say the least, with its combination of Nazi photos and the Spanish flag on the back accompanied by the words "Of national interest." The album contains new versions of a few previous tracks such as "Ratas rabiosas" and "Enterrado vivo" plus the studio version of "Más allá del cementerio." For the recording the band enrolled keyboardist Aitor Amezaga, who would also collaborate on their next album.

Now united in this new musical adventure called Juegos Nocturnos, they present nine guitar-driven, sophisticated pop rock tracks that showcase influences shaped over more than four decades of musical career, recorded between 2020 and 2022.

LOS INDIOS	Los Indios	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 495LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 The birth of Los Indios took place at a key moment for Bolivian music, in May 1968, during the "Festival de la Canción" held at the Félix Capriles Stadium. This event was a milestone for the so-called Bolivian new wave, featuring various groups from all over the country. A month later, Jorge Filipo Dalence, in association with Freddy Valdivieso, decided to launch their own band, Los Indios, ready to make their mark on the music scene. Their discography includes one LP and a handful of EPs released on the Caracol and Imperio labels. Their album not only showcases their musical talent but also represents an important moment in the evolution of rock in Bolivia. The combination of their unique style helped open new doors for other artists in the country's music scene. By 1969, the group was enjoying overwhelming success and widespread popularity. This collection brings together some of their best recordings, captured over the course of their short life as a band, blending beat sounds with garage rawness through a repertoire full of covers of artists such as Deep Purple, Wilson Pickett, and Eduardo Araujo (via Los Iracundos). This is a joint release with the Peruvian label Rey Record and includes an insert with notes on the band's history.

$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 With over 20 albums under his belt, John Beltran returns to his much-loved Placid Angles project with one of his strongest albums to date. Years of experience have brought a deep focus and awareness of textures, space and emotion that reveal a producer at the top of his game. From the sound of slowly moving mountains that is the title track "Canada" to the breakbeat-laden "Hero BK" and collaborations with Sophia Stel, Tom VR, and Yussh, it's easy to hear why this album is special. Beltran notes, "Everything from the scenery to the people just made sense, so I decided to dedicate this record to them and that beautiful country." He adds, "I think you'll hear a little bit of all of the Placid records in this one. I encapsulated what the project has always been and will continue to be moving forward." On Canada, the past is present in a joyous way, a record full of emotion and ambience connecting nostalgia with the now.

MEDUSA	Medusa	LP	OUT-SIDER	OSR 118LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 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.

ZAVALA, MALENA	If This Life Could Start Again	CD	PARANA	PARANA 003CD
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Malena Zavala is an Argentinian-born, London-based artist, producer, and filmmaker, known for crafting ethereal, genre-blending music that navigates the space between her Latin heritage and her British upbringing. With If This Life Could Start Again, Zavala presents her most intimate, cohesive, and accomplished work to date, marking a significant evolution in her artistic journey. With her new album, Malena creates an atmospheric dream pop world, weaving singer-songwriter intimacy with synth pop, Argentine folk, indiepop, rock and experimental music, threaded together by her blissful vocals and dreamy guitar work. Gorgeously warm and vivid, If This Life Could Start Again charts the journey from pain to acceptance, mapping out the non-linear nature of healing through a sonic landscape. Each song embodies a distinct emotion within that journey, from grief and chaos to feeling lost, seeking refuge, finding confidence, and finally acceptance and letting go. Drawing on her Argentinian roots, Malena uses the Andes mountains as both a visual and thematic anchor -- the difficult climb towards higher ground becomes a metaphor for healing, whilst being lost at rock bottom reflects the darkest moments of the journey. Completely composed and performed by Malena herself, the album was recorded in Girona's L'Empordà countryside in Spain with producer Luke Smith. As a professional producer and audio engineer, this was Malena's first time relinquishing production control -- an intimate creative shift that allowed their shared vision to shape the album's rich, enveloping sound. However, Zavala's career to date has been a testament to self-sufficient artistry. If This Life Could Start Again, is a raw and transformative eight-track journey that maps the emotional landscape of healing. Written after a period of personal upheaval, the album traverses themes of grief, hereditary trauma, and self-discovery. Sonically, this journey mirrors the non-linear path to acceptance, evolving from acoustic folk and synth-pop to funk-infused rhythms and rock anthems.

HELFENSTEIN, REMO	Spite	LP	PRASENS EDITIONEN	PE 047LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Meeting vulnerability with persistence, Lucerne-based musician Remo Helfenstein presents Spite, his first solo album on Präsens Editionen. Whereas his 2022 debut EP, Comforting Katharina, traced raw, devotional impulses, Spite expands the terrain -- balancing psychedelic drift with sudden moments of clarity, wounded grandeur with flashes of pop transcendence. The record thrives on contradiction: oscillating between the no wave austerity of Suicide and the meditative (and dadaist) expanses of Bitchin Bajas and Bonnie "Prince" Billy's collaborative work, while opening into passages of gospel-infused spaciousness. At times intimate and porous, at times expansive and ecstatic, Helfenstein shapes a sound world that fuses analog and digital processes -- both deeply personal and insistently collective. This duality comes to life most strikingly in recordings with fellow musicians Klara Germanier (background vocals and guitar), Raphael Loher (keys), Manuel Troller (guitar), and Olivier Vogel (bass), featured in various constellations across all seven tracks. Spite is not devotional music, but devotion itself: unyielding, uncompromising, vital. It insists on its own necessity -- created because it had to be.

LOS ROGER'S	Que Ardiente!	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 345LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Iquitos, one of Peru's most remote cities and the capital of its Amazon region, was the epicenter of the psychedelic cumbia movement. Countless bands emerged from this place, each with a different fate in their musical journeys. Some rose to become international stars and flag bearers of cumbia, while others remained local legends, their fame never traveling far beyond the Amazon jungle. Los Roger's achieved great success in Iquitos and served as the foundation and inspiration for many local bands that emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s. ¡Qué ardiente! combines the best of the band's limited discography. The recordings come from their first 45 RPM single and their two mini-LPs for the FTA label, as well as their only elusive LP from 1971, ¡Qué ardiente!, ("How Burning!") recorded for the prestigious IEMPSA label. Their discography dives deep into Cuban-influenced sounds, where the guitar shares the spotlight with powerful percussion and -- with tracks like "Descarga Roger's" -- with the vocals as well. Los Roger's came to an abrupt end just one year after the release of their LP, at the peak of their career, due to their disappointments with the music industry.

VASQUEZ Y SU CONJUNTO, ANGEL	La Gustadera	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 346LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 Ángel Vásquez brought Antillean shades into the accordion tradition of a region overflowing with juglares, as the Colombian northern coast has always been. Vásquez built a monumental songbook where pachanga, charanga, son, cumbia, and even the Puerto Rican countryside, Boricua sound, played leading roles. His few recordings carried a remarkable stylistic range, making it difficult to put him into any single category -- a quality that led to a style he himself called vasquesón. In the early seventies, he released through Discos Fuentes a single that would become one of the anthems of the Barranquilla Carnival: "Pica pica en carnaval," a tropical, electrifying gem with a guarachero flow so unmistakable that it's still a staple in verbenas, neighborhood dances, and picó parties today. La gustadera comprises a muscular, rhythm-packed ride moving from pachanga to paseaito, passing through charanga, porro, son and, of course, vasquesón -- a full-on celebration where the accordion leads the dance. Here, direct lines are drawn between Colombian coastal folklore and Afro-Antillean sound -- pure joy painted with the everyday imagery of coastal life. First time reissue of this mega rare Ángel Vásquez album.

KITT, LUCY	Telling Me	LP	WINEBERRY RECORDS	WBR 002LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/13/2026 LP version. British singer-songwriter Lucy Kitt presents her highly-anticipated second album, Telling Me, a deeply personal collection that shifts focus from introspection to storytelling, capturing the lives and struggles of those closest to her. Drawing from her love of '70s Laurel Canyon folk, '90s indie rock, and country music, Kitt crafts narratives that blend her own experiences with compassionate observations of loved ones. Based on a raw acoustic "three chords and the truth" style of songwriting that ripples throughout, the album expands with full-band arrangements that give a huge range and richness to the sound. Though influenced by American musical traditions, the Essex-native maintains her distinctive voice and authenticity, ensuring the music remains unmistakably her own. Following her 2018 debut Stand By, this new record represents a more mature approach to songwriting, written during her early 30s and completed in the 2021 lockdown -- a storybook of songs capturing that moment in time. Musically, Telling Me showcases Kitt's stripped-down acoustic foundations, while incorporating fuller arrangements that blend her love of Nick Drake, Bob Dylan, Gram Parsons, Joni Mitchell and Joan Baez, with music she loved as a teenager such as The Lemonheads and Veruca Salt. The album features collaborations with an impressive roster of musicians, including Jay Starkey on drums, Nashville-based pedal steel virtuoso Spencer Cullum, Treetop Flyer's Sam Beer and longtime collaborator Pat Kenneally on drums and piano. Recorded between 2021-2023 at London's Lightship 95 studio at Trinity Buoy Wharf, the album was co-produced and engineered by Dave Holmes, with some musicians contributing remotely from Nashville and London.

CAMOUFLAGE	Spice Crackers (30th Anniversary Edition)	2LP	BUREAU B	BB 032LP
$40.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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."

BAUMANN, PETER	Romance 76 (50th Anniversary Yellow Vinyl Edition)	LP	BUREAU B	BB 250LTD-LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

SCHNITZLER, CONRAD	Control	CD	BUREAU B	BB 495CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 "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

SCHNITZLER, CONRAD	Convex	CD	BUREAU B	BB 496CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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

SCHNITZLER, CONRAD	Convex	LP	BUREAU B	BB 496LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 LP version. 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.

NEAN	Doo Dah Nean	LP	BLACK EDITIONS/LA MUSICA RECORDS	BELA 004-017LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 A bizarrely entrancing jewel from the depths of the Japanese underground, Doo Dah Nean was originally released in small run of hand assembled cassettes by the La Musica label in the late '90s. The album is the sole release and evidence of Nean, an entirely under-the-radar trio that crossed the sensual, disassociated female vocals of Japanese iroke kayōkyoku music with off-balance shamanic rhythm and echoing electronic rumble. Nean were the trio of Yui on bass and electronics, Naoko on voice, and Non on drums. Both Yui and Non were also part of Holy Angels, and Yui played with Ohkami No Jikan and Mauduit Nuit. Vocalist Naoko, in her lone recorded appearance anywhere, elevates the proceedings to peak outsider strangeness. Her ultra-repetitive chants and sighs balance childlike innocence with sinister knowing. Alternately distracted and humming to herself or delivering breathy, near field whispers, the simple juxtaposition of her vocalizations with Non's stumble-drunk drums, and the amorphous blobs and gloops of tone unleashed from Yui's instruments lands like an avant garde, proto-ASMR incantation. A truly confounding release in a La Musica catalogue that's not exactly thin on the ground for such form. Housed in die-cut "Uni-Pak" style gatefold with metallic gold ink and soft touch finishes with printed inner sleeve. Vinyl pressed at RTI. Additional mastering by Timothy Stollenwerk, Stereophonic mastering lacquers by Phillip S. Rodriguez. Elysian masters executive produced by Peter Kolovos.

WILSON, DEREK HUNTER	Sculptures	LP	BEACON SOUND	BNSD 096LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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).

INFANTINO ED IL GRUPPO DI TRICARICO, ANTONIO	Follie Del Divino Spirito Santo	CD	BLACK SWEAT RECORDS	BS 090CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

SABABA 5	CA VA CA VA	LP	BATOV RECORDS	BTR 132LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 Sababa 5 return to their roots on Ça Va Ça Va -- a melting pot of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean sounds, layered with psych-soaked guitars, cosmic synths and heavy, driving grooves. A pure dose of party energy and nostalgia from Batov Records' finest. With four albums already behind them, Sababa 5 have earned global support, from Songlines magazine and BBC Radio 6 Music tastemakers including Gilles Peterson, Jamz Supernova, and Iggy Pop to France's FIP Radio and Radio Nova, for their unique blend of traditional Middle Eastern celebration music with psychedelic grooves, funk, jazz, rock, and international vocal collaborations spanning Japan to India. The Paris-based group have taken this sound to stages across Europe, including Reeperbahn Festival and Dresden's Super Fest. Ça Va Ça Va is the band's hafla album -- a return to the wedding and event celebration music that first shaped Sababa 5. Recorded in Paris, it draws directly from the sounds of hafla -- the joyful, communal music heard at Middle Eastern weddings, parties and festive gatherings -- with a sprinkling of influences from the wider Mediterranean. The group utilize their classic combination of electric guitar, bass, drums, organ, and synths to transform these ideas into vibrant melodies, dance-ready rhythms, and a spirit of abundance and togetherness. Opening track "Bienvenue" sets the tone with a mysterious, longing guitar solo before bursting into an irresistible rhythm and jubilant guitar motif. It flows seamlessly into "Allô," straight into wedding-riot territory -- a fast-rising instrumental that showers the dancefloor with energy as it builds around a hypnotic, arpeggio-driven riff. The album is almost entirely original material, with two key exceptions: "Ypárcho" (I Exist), a beautiful instrumental journey inspired by a classic Greek song traditionally performed by Stelios Kazantzidis, and "Asunsan," an instrumental flip of the much-loved Sababa 5 collaboration "Nasnusa" with Yurika Hanashima. Another impressive step in the Sababa 5 story, Ça Va Ça Va captures both joy and longing -- the unmistakable warmth of Eastern Mediterranean celebration and the band's surf-rock edge -- sounding more confident, spirited and deeply rooted than ever.

FAKE, NATHAN	Blizzards	CD	CAMBRIA INSTRUMENTS	CAMBRIA 005CD
$12.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

FAKE, NATHAN	Crystal Vision	CD	CAMBRIA INSTRUMENTS	CAMBRIA 008CD
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

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.

MAC ERLAINE & CAOIMHIN O RAGHALLAIGH, SEAN	Old Segotia	LP	ERGODOS	ERGODOS 043LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

COH & WLADIMIR SCHALL	Covers	LP	HALLOW GROUND	HG 2509LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

BARWICK & MARY LATTIMORE, JULIANNA	Tragic Magic	CD	INFINE	IF 1100CD
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

FAKE, NATHAN	Evaporator	CD	INFINE	IF 1104CD
$21.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

ANTIBALAS	Security (White Vinyl)	2LP	MUSIC ON VINYL	MOV 3997COL-LP
$56.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 "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."

PALESTINE, CHARLEMAGNE	Battling the Invisible	LP	ALGA MARGHEN	NMN 184LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 Edition of 300. Includes 8-page booklet. In 1969, while American minimalism was consolidating into its most recognizable forms, Charlemagne Palestine was conducting solitary experiments with oscillators and sine waves that only now reveal their visionary scope. This was the New York of lofts and abandoned industrial spaces, of artists pushing sound toward its physical limits -- a city where the boundaries between music, performance art, and bodily endurance were dissolving. Battling the Invisible unearths two electronic studies from that crucial year, paired with rare 1972 Bösendorfer sessions -- a document that illuminates the passage from pure electronics to the keyboard as an instrument of prolonged ecstasy. "Low Sounds 3" opens the record with fifteen minutes of low frequencies that seem to emerge from the very foundations of the sonic edifice. There is no development in the traditional sense, but a static presence that gradually colonizes the listening space. Think Eliane Radigue's meditative drone work filtered through a raw, almost brutalist sensibility. "Sine Tone Study" on Side B extends this practice for nearly nineteen minutes -- sine waves overlapping, creating beating patterns, zones of interference explored with the patience of an entomologist. The two 1972 Bösendorfer fragments function as bridges toward the Palestine the world knows better -- the strumming ecstasies, the hypnotic accumulation of overtones, the piano as a vehicle for transcendence. Here the physical approach to the keyboard is already evident -- what he would describe as a "battle." This release is part of Alga Marghen's The Golden Research series -- a concept devised by Palestine himself around the idea of "perfect sound." The series focuses exclusively on completely unreleased archival materials, bringing to light legendary recordings that have never been heard before. The LP includes a 8-page interview conducted by Sumner Crane and Rudolph Grey in January 1979 at Palestine's NYC loft, with Arto Lindsay present, later redacted by Alan Licht. The insert is an anastatic reproduction of the original 12-page typescript. Unfiltered, explosive -- Palestine on violence, on the body as battleground, on his Brooklyn childhood. Essential reading.

Drum machines, samplers, modular synths, and effects devices all culminate in a tape recorder, whose limitations invite them to work with great musical and sonic precision. The resulting pieces serve as the first layer and as a sound score, which is then overwritten, mixed, and refined with dub techniques in a subsequent step. Elements inspired by electronic beat music, musique concrete, and noise merge in a musical performance that brings the studio action onto the stage and places it front and center.

MAGGIORE, LUCIANO	Mimosa Pudica	LP	PLANAM	PLANUB 002LP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 Mimosa Pudica brings together two works by Luciano Maggiore, both conceived as live performances structured around the presence and behavior of an audience. In both cases, rhythmic and formal elements arise from acts of observation and listening: eye contact, involuntary sounds, shifts of attention, hesitation, withdrawal. Mimosa Pudica reconstructs the conditions of these works in the absence of an audience. The record operates as a displacement: a concert without spectators, a live situation deprived of the social geometry that normally sustains it. What remains is not the trace of an event, but the internal workings of the pieces -- listening as response, rhythm as a fragile negotiation, sound as the outcome of relational tension. Recorded during a residency at Nub Project Space, the two works are built through layered actions performed by a single body, yet assembled to suggest the presence of a full room. The result is neither a straightforward studio construction nor a live recording, but a deliberate ambiguity: a record that imitates the dynamics of a concert while suspending its most recognizable cues. In straight lines, an uncertain whistle unfolds against a cluster of sine waves, punctuated by rhythmic elements triggered by imagined exchanges of gaze. Circle on circle on circle on circle, where murmurs and percussive gestures respond to barely perceptible sounds, evokes a spatial situation in which listening replaces any visual reference. In both works, rhythm does not present itself as a fixed structure, but as something contingent, dependent, and reversible. Only 100 copies available for international distribution, with white-on-black printed artwork on the sleeve plus insert with score and liner notes.

KNIGHT, PETER	For A Moment The Sky Knew My Name	CD	ROOM40	RM 4207CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 "This is music inspired by the water and the wind. By the tattoo of the insects' beating wings and the soughing of the wattle in the sea breeze. By the dull roll of the surf and the rhythm of my breath against the pad of my feet as I walk along the sandy, leaf-littered path through the scrub to the beach. The fingers of the fire-blackened dead banksias clawing the vicious blue. Somewhere, a peal of laughter is torn from its source and flies for a moment on the thermals rising from the baking sand. It is the summer of 2024/25 in Australia as the ideas for this album coalesce from a dozen different threads. I'm camping with my family on Krowathunkooloong land in the south-east corner of the country. The place where I grew up. The same beach where I spent every summer through my childhood. We swim every day in the ocean and in the late afternoons in the calm of the Yeerung River. The water, stained red brown by Melaleuca, turns my hand into a bloody ghost as I watch it sink. This place asks questions of me about belonging, about the relationship of the body to the wind. Of memory, of history, and of forgetting. Sound braces us in the now but simultaneously connects us to the past - a porous membrane between inner and outer worlds. I am walking up the hill behind the Yeerung with my trumpet in my backpack. Stopping to play momentarily. Trying to find a space in which I can resonate the sounds I make with those around me. The river is full from earlier rain and is threatening to break through the thin sandbank that separates its deep red pool from the gunmetal blue ocean. The heat gathers and the pulsing of the crickets intensifies." --Peter Knight Peter Knight is a composer, trumpeter, and curator whose practice thrives in the spaces between genres, categories, and cultures. His recent solo work extends the possibilities of his instrument with innovative approaches that interweave acoustic preparations, extended techniques with electroacoustic processing via laptop, vintage delays, and tape machines. Peter is interested in the use of repetition, rhythmic overlapping, slow harmonic evolution, and subtle timbral evolutions to shift our perceptions of linear time.

ROSE, BRAD E.	Sound Leaves	CD	ROOM40	RM 4251CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 A note from Brad Rose: "The Sound Leaves began as an interactive sound performance and installation based around humans' impact on the environment and how that impact is altering the sonic landscape of our world. As ecosystems change due to climate collapse, the sound of those ecosystems changes too. The Sound Leaves used an amplified collection of autumn leaves to encourage participants to listen closely to how their actions alter the sounds of the fallen leaves by walking on and through them for a period of time. By amplifying these sounds, processing and mixing them live, and playing them back via a set of speakers directed at the installation, the performance heightened the sonic changes participants' actions create. From that performance, a sound piece by the same name was composed using the recorded sounds with additional instrumentation. It was installed as a temporary exhibition on site at Philbrook Musuem of Art during the winter of 2023, emanating from a grove of oak and elm trees. A year later, as the climate crisis worsened, those same sounds were reprocessed and reconsidered, creating a more ghost-like approach, 'In Collapse.'"

SHEA, DAVID	Meditations	CD	ROOM40	RM 4254CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 A note from David Shea: "Meditations is a set of eight works based on the experience of meditation practice. Music made for both meditation and reflecting the realities of a life of daily practice. The breath, the quietness, the listening, the distracted dissonant and consonant thoughts that pass through. The texts throughout the pieces are fragments of the Buddhist Heart Sutra, the shortest and created from a mixture of traditions and sources, produced long after Buddha's death and meant to be chanted or sung as a ritual and personal meditation. The experience of meditation, so often covered in mythology and one dimensionally peaceful symbols, is in fact a complex set of traditions in all cultures and has roots in indigenous cultures world wide and involves the limitations of thought as well as the quietness of the mind as a source of understanding and health. The Buddhist teachings that are in focus in this album are in a sense a sequel to the record Rituals of 2015 in that they are adapted as Meditations that cross and combine traditions with any attempt consciously to synthesize them into a new whole. A conversation between traders, in the form here of musicians , languages, sound sources and the peace and struggle of maintaining a real meditational practice and living in the chaos and violence of society as well as accepting the world as it is, with all of the internal conflicts and release and rise of tension. The musicians on these pieces also are recorded live in a group setting listening to each other with a shared space and character I create and through this listening the connections that form the final piece are made. The Heart Sutra which I read in the last piece of the eight is a translation which has been collaged by many schools and cultures that adapted the teachings to their indigenous religions. The bonus track is a live mix (called a Metta Mix) of a performance and collage of all this material and other new pieces, performed in a virtual avatar world called 'Second Life' for a live audience who listens and attends in their own avatars. All pieces on this set of recordings are a version of this in some ways, with the mix being something both from me and for those that listen. Meditations is both a document of practice, past and present and an experience of listening, both personal and the connective mix of us and all the things that are not us."

BLACK RAIN	Obliteration Bliss	CD	ROOM40	RM 4262CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 A note from Stuart Argabright: "Degraded, faded cities now empty of people. You can hear household appliances in the kitchens still talking, but only to each other. The phrases are distorted, unclear; broken English, Japanese and a few Korean and Chinese automated voices, syllables, shopping lists, play lists for dinner and recipes. Somewhere one of the machines is dialled in on an isolated pre-Buddhist monk chant, distant like from a high cliff meditation cell. The flow of the wide, long Black Mother River Kali Gandaki below them. Here is Obliteration Bliss A world in a flash of light. The world running faster and faster. Another biomorph escapes the facility...she disappears into a backwater jungle town. A witness to smoking remains and death after generation wars, ash snow dusted, scorched lands. Look into a huge room filled with ancient machines and stumble among the fossils by the old silver river. Before the wind reverses and chokes us with sand, grit and who knows what else direct from the Subcontinent. The evening fog closes around impossibly high tower buildings. A pack of racing bikes approaching, lights flaring. Still we linger in-between the shadows and the light. There's another voice calling, but its form is hazed in fading neon. It's raining again."

ENJI	Sonor (Transparent Vinyl)	LP	SQUAMA	SQM 033C-LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 "The artistry of Midori Hirano lives in the resonance between sonic and visual worlds. Over her distinguished career the Berlin-based, Kyoto born composer, pianist, and synthesist has crafted a distinctive voice straddling the spheres of classical music and harmonies with abstraction and invention. In addition to works under her own name, Hirano has released dynamic experiments under her MimiCof moniker as well as composed for film, television, art exhibitions and architectural expos. Hirano has also been a prolific collaborator, working with CoH, Brueder Selke, Nils Mosh, Teodor Wolgers, Ben Lukas Boysen and Paul Emmerich, SPECIMENS, Mami Sakurai, Atsuko Hatano, and more, contributing to dozens of releases. Hirano is acclaimed for crafting emotive works that stimulate all the senses with impressionism, or painting with sound. OTONOMA is the culmination of her work synthesizing these elements and highlights her acumen as a practiced and intuitive artist. The album infuses Hirano's more classical sense of harmony on the piano with the endless textural possibilities of synthesizers. Like nebulas coalescing into galaxies, the pieces of OTONOMA emanate hues dense with subtle layers of color folded into gradients, arresting and radiant. In Japanese the word 'Oto' means 'sound' and 'Ma' refers to the 'space' or 'interval' between things. So, 'Otonoma' literally means 'the space between sounds.' In classical usage, 'Ma' can also mean 'room' which allows a different reading, 'a room of sounds.' 'Illuminance,' a foundational track on the album, has rich textures and a searching modular synth. 'Ame, Hikari' was initially composed for a photo exhibition of Japanese artist Rinko Kawauchi's work at Fotografiska Berlin and captures the rain (ame) and light (hikari) of Kawauchi's photos. The stately lone piano of 'Rainwalk' offers a minimalist, affecting snapshot of a moment in time while pieces like 'Aurora' take a more wide-eyed, macrocosmic view with fluttering electronics and a surging drone. Throughout OTONOMA, Hirano's compositions seep over their sonic borders and through the complex intersection of rhythm and tone are an affecting listen. The intersection between sound and space embodies the architecture of this beautiful impressionistic album. In the deft hands of its architect, Midori Hirano, the music is remarkable for its reflective and connective beauty, a sensational sensorial experience."

$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 "Marielle V Jakobsons has cultivated a signature voice molded by minimalist, ambient and spiritual traditions. Her recordings, from her early work with Date Palms, to the ongoing work with Chuck Johnson in Saariselka, and most definitively with The Patterns Lost to Air, show Jakobsons to be an exceptionally skillful sound sculptor, a musician who knows the value of patience and control. An artist able to derive maximum impact from her chosen sound elements, the album's layout is shaped by three primary voices of violin, Fender Rhodes, and Moog Matriarch and was recorded in 2024 in the studio Jakobsons built in Oakland, California, its huge windows overlooking a backyard with olive and palm trees, nesting towhees and hummingbirds. The Patterns lost to Air was also born of personal change for Jakobsons brought on by the health effects of long COVID, as well as an intentional musical shift from drones to working with scores and written music as she leaned in on her classical training, and harmonic writing. It was more than an evolution, it was a need to redefine who and what she was, down to the molecular level, because she could no longer create music in the same way, which became a galvanizing motif for The Patterns Lost to Air. On The Patterns Lost to Air, each piece emerges from a place of necessary restriction, discovering how limitation itself can become a portal to new territories of sound and meaning. The pieces make use of loops and slowly shifting patterns that gracefully decay with time. Through sonic landscapes of Fender Rhodes piano, synthesizers, and strings, the album investigates the space between those patterns like threads of memory, each tone transfiguring and dissolving together. Imagining the forms and shapes that sound takes as its projected into a listening space, and how they are 'lost to air' as they morph and decay. This physicality of sound is a theme in her work in general, and this album is directly a conversation on that aspect."

$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 LP version. Opaque vinyl. "Marielle V Jakobsons has cultivated a signature voice molded by minimalist, ambient and spiritual traditions. Her recordings, from her early work with Date Palms, to the ongoing work with Chuck Johnson in Saariselka, and most definitively with The Patterns Lost to Air, show Jakobsons to be an exceptionally skillful sound sculptor, a musician who knows the value of patience and control. An artist able to derive maximum impact from her chosen sound elements, the album's layout is shaped by three primary voices of violin, Fender Rhodes, and Moog Matriarch and was recorded in 2024 in the studio Jakobsons built in Oakland, California, its huge windows overlooking a backyard with olive and palm trees, nesting towhees and hummingbirds. The Patterns lost to Air was also born of personal change for Jakobsons brought on by the health effects of long COVID, as well as an intentional musical shift from drones to working with scores and written music as she leaned in on her classical training, and harmonic writing. It was more than an evolution, it was a need to redefine who and what she was, down to the molecular level, because she could no longer create music in the same way, which became a galvanizing motif for The Patterns Lost to Air. On The Patterns Lost to Air, each piece emerges from a place of necessary restriction, discovering how limitation itself can become a portal to new territories of sound and meaning. The pieces make use of loops and slowly shifting patterns that gracefully decay with time. Through sonic landscapes of Fender Rhodes piano, synthesizers, and strings, the album investigates the space between those patterns like threads of memory, each tone transfiguring and dissolving together. Imagining the forms and shapes that sound takes as its projected into a listening space, and how they are 'lost to air' as they morph and decay. This physicality of sound is a theme in her work in general, and this album is directly a conversation on that aspect." "The minutest vibrations are as expressive as the most sweeping gesture" --Pitchfork

URLAUB IN POLEN	Objects, Beings & Parrots	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 596CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

HEKT, LANDE	Lucky Now	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 603CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

NAKED LUNCH	Songs For The Exhausted	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 604CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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!

VA	Nagoyaka Na Kaze	LP	WISDOM TEETH	WSDMLP 011LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/20/2026 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.

$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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."

MOORE, BARBARA	Bright And Shining	LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 182LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 After many years of fruitless praying, a true collector grail can finally grace every turntable the world over. Bright And Shining is a miraculous leftfield library classic from the genius mind of Barbara Moore. With originals almost impossible to find, you already know how crucial this beautiful reissue is. Recorded in 1981 for Sylvester Music Company, Bright And Shining is breezy, dreamy and funky in a perfectly smooth jazzy-soul-groove fashion, with Moore's patented celestial male-female vocal harmonies this time benefitting from the addition of Fender Rhodes and pumping bass lines. As one particularly enthusiastic Discogs user put it: "If Eno is responsible for Music for Airports, Moore is responsible for Music for Holidays." Indeed, this is brilliantly unique, "maximum happiness music." If you miss the sun-dappled soft-psych soul of Koushik, the heavenly vocal arrangements of the great Library Music doyenne Barbara Moore will see you just right. The gigantic title track, "Bright And Shining," gallops out the gate, all sophisticated, jazzy leisure-soul with sax and guitars backing Moore's effortless vocal swag in this relaxed, mid-tempo head-nod strut. Up next, the sunny, vibey "Fly Me High" features strolling, "unworded" vocals alongside breezy alto sax and electric guitar. The jazzy "Real Thing" is another exercise in strolling sophistication, complete with wordless vocal harmonies. The fairly self-explanatory "Voice Over Sax" sounds precisely how you would expect; a relaxed sax number with heavenly vocal support. The audio for Bright And Shining has been meticulously remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland. The original, iconic sleeve has been restored as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue.

HASELEY/PETER RENO, SIMON	Great Day	LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 183LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Great Day is one of the very best albums on the Music De Wolfe label and certainly one of the most sought-after library records, full stop. It's been sampled by such heavyweights as Madlib, LTJ Bukem, El-P and The Alchemist (among many others). Originally released in 1972, it's credited to Music De Wolfe legends Simon Haseley (real name Simon Park) and "Peter Reno" (a collaborative alias used by composers Clifford "Cliff" Twemlow and Peter Taylor). It's one of the most consistent libraries you'll ever hear, packed with heavy blaxploitation-esque drama-funk break themes. It opens with the feel-good, breezy piano beat number "Little Big John" before switching up to modern sweeping orchestral with heavy drums on the warm, deeply emotive "Summer Friend." Total highlight "Hammerhead" is as heavy as you'd want, from a track so-titled. It's a driving, imposing, orchestral funk-rock monster, famously used by The High & Mighty for their classic "Dirty Decibels" and as the backing for Beyonce's ace "Woman Like Me". Up next, "Crimson" is melodic, plaintive and moodily introspective; a soft, oboe-enhanced instrumental of delicate beauty. The expansive title track, "Great Day" is melodic and bold; a horn-fueled, mid-tempo rhythmic workout which builds to rather big end. Rounding out this first side, "Hard Crust" ups the ante with thrilling wah-wah funk-rock, a dramatic, pounding and aggressive thriller. Side B opens with the steady, stealthy crime-funk of "Highball" before segueing brilliantly into the Hammond-laced relentless flute-funk of the driving "Bora." The powerful wah-wah wonderful "Hold Back" is haunting orchestral funk-rock, sampled by Madlib, El-P, Rakim, Sean Price and The Alchemist. The cop show funk of "Silver Thrust" is fast, purposeful and persistent. The dynamic "Convoy" is a brassy, organ-fueled sports-soundtrack b-boy breaks monster. To close out this extraordinary set, the insistent "Barracuda" presents dramatic rock feels over a persistent funky flute beat. The audio for Great Day has been meticulously remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland.

VA	Hogan, The Hawk And Dirty John Crown	LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 184LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Hogan, The Hawk & Dirty John Crown sounds like the soundtrack of a blaxploitation movie from the early '70s and, packed with funky fusion and smoother orchestral numbers, it is basically that. Featuring a veritable who's who of killer library break snakes, it's not hard to see how this commands over £350 on secondary markets. This beautifully presented reissue, part of Be With's fresh campaign with the legendary library label Music De Wolfe, is well overdue. Recorded for De Wolfe in 1972, Hogan, The Hawk, Dirty John Crown is a fantastic start-to-finish listen. The flute-funk of Hawkshaw and Parker's opener "The Hawk" comprises driving, fuzzy, wah-wah-drizzled bell-laced breaks with synths and basslines to murder for. Up next, Haseley's "The Happening" is a carefree, rhythmic builder with strings and horns. Hawkshaw and Parker's amazing "Main Chance" is likely the reason you're here; it's a moody, beaty proto-hip-hop banger; all rolling drums and flute-laced, organ-drenched, synth-funk breaks. The cool AF "Hogan Baby" has a soft, rounded, bluesy feel. Grant's pounding "Dirty John Crown" brilliantly conjures swirling string-swept serenity atop driving, incisive drama-funk breaks. Hawkshaw and Parker come roaring back with the murky, creeping crime-funk of "Swarf" with killer basslines underpinning slow-mo high-class flute-funk. Reg Tilsley enters the fray with the bright, snappy, carefree "Turnover." The brief "Tarantula" gets listeners back on track with the driving crime funk breaks, super clean yet brooding. Side 2 opens with the car chase swag of Haseley's dramatic, driving "Precinct". Haseley's rolling "Sidewinder Version 1" is robust and exuberant with bouncy horns before a cracking Parker-Hawkshaw one-two featuring the tense "Pressure" and the deeply soulful "Call Me", a relaxed, medium-tempo organ feature. With building piano and strings Gordon Grant's excellently titled "Scorch" is as aggressive and dramatic as you'd hope. Hawkshaw and Parker's furtive flute-funk of "Digger" precede the light, melodic and romantic themes of Tilsley's "Marianne" whilst "Sidewinder Version 2", a faster iteration of Track B2 sees Haseley close out this remarkable set in bouncy, bright fashion. The audio for Hogan, The Hawk, Dirty John Crown has been meticulously remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland.

SOUL CITY ORCHESTRA	Meal Ticket	LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 185LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 A great name. A great cover. And, of course, outstanding library music. Soul City Orchestra's Meal Ticket houses titanic funk, mellow groove and symphonic disco-soul. Released in 1977 on Rouge, a subsidiary of the prestigious and long-established British library label Music De Wolfe, Meal Ticket was crafted by the studio band Soul City Orchestra (a pseudonym for the De Wolfe in-house composers Chris Rae and Franck McDonald). The driving instrumental funk-rock of the A Side is enhanced with strings and no little drama. However, it's undoubtedly the peerless flipside that makes this record an essential part of any collection. Head straight to highlight "Chamber Maid"; insistent, conga-driven funky rock with lashings of string-heightened drama. It's sophisticated, classical and deeply classy. The majestic, powerfully emotive "Sore Head" contains an excellent intro drum break and sultry slo-mo disco breaks throughout. It's low-key stunning. With a few melodic switch-ups, it's symphonic soul heaven and is comfortably the best and most beautifully crucial track on Side A. The breezy, Philly soul-tinged "Short Change," its intense strings reminiscent of the Salsoul Orchestra and TSOP, presents an easy-glide funk that's just irresistible. The funky, cool and slick AF "Wheeling And Dealing" is laconic flute and string-propelled sophisticated mid-tempo disco soul. It's worth the price of admission alone. The breezy, mellowed out disco-funk workout "The Jam" is a deliciously slinky and sophisticated soul strut. The crowning glory is the sweeping, sublime symphonic disco breaks of horn-infused "Soul City Drive," an absolute monster of radiant heavy soul-funk à la Barry White with great string and brass arrangement. Basically, this is essential for all groove-aficionados. The audio for Meal Ticket has been meticulously remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland.

$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 After decades spent shaping the sound of southern Madagascar and becoming one of the defining voices of tsapiky, Damily returns with Fanjiry, his most intimate and focused record to date. Known for electrifying village ceremonies and carrying the fever of Toliara across continents, he takes a sharp turn -- not away from trance, but deeper into its core. Recorded in just three days at Studio Black Box with analog wizard Peter Deimel, Fanjiry strips the tsapiky band down to a single guitar and a single heartbeat. Damily plays alone, yet fills the space completely -- bass, rhythm, melody, pulse, and breath merging into a dense and vibrating sound. Every riff is architecture, every harmonic a door opening onto memory, childhood landscapes, and nights where music heals, binds, and exhausts the dark. There is no nostalgia here, no museum of tradition. Fanjiry is a new frontier for tsapiky: raw, precise, suspended between earth and sky, born from craft and necessity. The title -- the last star before dawn -- captures its essence: a quiet moment before the world awakens, where a single guitar can hold an entire history and still point forward.

There is no nostalgia here, no museum of tradition. Fanjiry is a new frontier for tsapiky: raw, precise, suspended between earth and sky, born from craft and necessity. The title -- the last star before dawn -- captures its essence: a quiet moment before the world awakens, where a single guitar can hold an entire history and still point forward.

IRISARRI, RAFAEL ANTON	Points of Inaccessibility	LP	BLACK KNOLL EDITIONS	BKE 023LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

DILBY & PORNBUGS	Between Us	12"	BONDAGE MUSIC	BOND 12081EP
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

FOREVER PAVOT	Melchior Vol 1	CD	BORN BAD RECORDS	BORNBAD 190CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Emile Sornin has a robot in his life. It's not love, but it's not friendship either, and Forever Pavot is releasing an album documenting the affair on Born Bad. After a bunch of bold pop studio albums and a small stack of soundtracks, Emile needed a break. To put an end to it, he embarked with handyman extraordinaire Jonas Euvremer on the manufacture of an automaton destined to make his musician's life easier. Melchior, who gave his name to the record, has the face of a ventriloquist's dummy, two plastic left hands, preppy clothes and a primitive logic circuit. This goodie two-shoes cousin of Bender's is supposed to be doing the interviews and deal with socials for Emile. The plan worked admirably: Melchior is a perfect cover-boy, and his very existence has put our man back to work. They set a path for phat electronic ventures (and by the way, mostly English-speaking). Sub- continental bass and massive drums, heavy-footed and unabashed: as much appreciated as unexpected. The half-android shares songwriting credits and vocal parts vocoded to perfection. Not a jealous lad, Melchior makes way for a guest of choice on "UFO" and "Waiting for the sign": Lispector. Julie Margat sings and collaborated on the lyrics for these two bangers that provide a lot of context (robot angst is real). Kumisolo also sent her "Postcard", more vapor than song, unreal musical cotton candy of arrangements. Domotic, who mixes and co-produces, gives a nice spin to "Count to 10," a hip-hop/kraut crossover with a BEAK> flavor. The Forever Pavot, once a big-band, will be touring as a bass/ drums/keys and vocals trio, with Melchior as guest. Record after record, Emile Sornin has become an increasingly literate musical illiterate. When needed, his music can still become a thicket of ancient and modern finds. Forever Pavot may have gone wild, but remains indebted vis-à-vis the golden age of film music. Forebears deluxe Ennio Morricone and François de Roubaix make Hitchcock-style cameos: discreet appearances that you'll watch out for. His new flirt is all but a toxic relationship. Melchior Vol. 1: the robo-bromance is not over yet.

JESSICA93	666 Tours De Periph	CD	BORN BAD RECORDS	BORNBAD 192CD
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Jessica93, prodigal bastard of the glorious French squat scene, relocated on Born Bad. Geoffroy Laporte, alone against all odds, alternates bass and guitar to build harsh loops with a drum machine spitting pre-Gulf War patterns. That's where it gets tricky: every musical posse claims him. Grunge, sure, but Jessica doesn't indulge in necrophilia. His circuit is punk, he doesn't dress the part though. Cold wave, the atmosphere fits somehow, but the gear does not. Maybe it's time to give it a rest and let Jessica93 cook his great misery broth on her own, called 666 Tours De Périph (666 laps on the beltway). Witnessing Jessica93 live makes you dread that he'll get up the next morning, drive 200 miles and one nap later kick it again. At the heart of this cultural pentacle painted by French weirdos Bryan's Magic Tears, and Carine Krinator, Jessica93 has built a sound validated by years of chosen vagrancy, birthing bands with joyously stupid monikers, in the humid jungle of small labels. Jessica93's debut album had a track celebrating Omar Little, HBO's gay bandit from Baltimore. This story begins on the beltway, where Florence Rey, accidental copkiller turned to political icon of the '90s. A previous album was haunted by bedbugs, this one is essentially about love, a delicious scourge just as hard to eradicate. The record demonstrates the know-how acquired in loop-by-loop construction of ruins that are pleasant to squat in together. There's your classic doom delicatessen, with bits of heavy metal inside, crafted with the manic care typical of hard wankers. Arthur Satàn, who produced and mixed the album at home in Bordeaux, helped him get his head out of the reverb safe house. And Jessica93 took the opportunity to switch to the dark side of the language: French at last.

GROPPER'S PHILM, PHILIPP	2024	LP	BRETFORD RECORDS	BRT 011LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

GROPPER'S PHILM, PHILIPP	2025	LP	BRETFORD RECORDS	BRT 012LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

WIESE, KLAUS	Uranus	CD	BLACK SWEAT RECORDS	BS 094CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 In the late 1980s, Klaus Wiese (Popol Vuh) deepened his connection with Tibetan culture. The result is a series of works solely dedicated to the universal purity of the Singing Bowls. Uranus, perhaps the most rigorous of these, is an intense meditation on the trans-personal sphere of the VI chackra. The music becomes like a single harmonic chant, the reflection of a constant flow of divine light, which transforms the psyche and dilates the secret passages of the heart. In the galaxy of pure sound, the accumulated overtones offer the intrepid listener the access to a prismatic, fluorescence-rich consciousness. The ego thus becomes the sonorous composer of itself, of the vital circle flooded with beneficial acoustic vibrations. In this sense, Uranus, originally published on tape (Aquamarin Verlag/1988), also marks a parallel with the same research by Henry Wolff and Nancy Hennings or Nada Himalaya's Deuter.

ZITTA, MARIOLINA	Concert For Bats, Voices And Natural Sounds	LP	BLACK SWEAT RECORDS	BS 099LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 At the end of the 1980s, Mariolina Zitta approached the world of natural sounds, studying musicology and developing a passion for speleology. Her encounter with Walter Maioli was fundamental, guiding and influencing her definitive research into sound archaeology and the primitive sources of musical acoustic phenomena. In these recordings Mariolina conducts a magical ritual as a cave priestess, celebrating the icons par excellence of the mysteries of the night: bats. The specific frequencies of the calls of these fascinating creatures are recorded with special detectors used by ecologists, and the result is an organic synthesizer. The fusion with the sounds of natural objects (stones, stalactites, logs, bone whistles, Tibetan bells, mouth bows, trumpet shells) and the vocal modulations of harmonic singing allow listeners to travel into a still unexplored sound dimension, through an evocative experience of total sensory listening. It is an arcane landscape filled with pure vibrations, magnetic resonances and aquatic sounds; an ancestral enchantment on the border between consciousness and dreams, a symbolic liturgy of primordial reverberations, echoes and whistles. Edition of 200 copies.

REIGAKUSHA	Gagaku Suites	2LP	BLACK SWEAT RECORDS	BS 101LP
$42.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 "Gagaku" is the oldest of the Japanese performing arts, with a history more than a thousand years old. The term refers to Japanese classical music and dance, traditionally performed by families of musicians linked to the ancient Imperial court, and later passed down in Buddhist temple ceremonies and Shinto shrines. Shiba Sukeyasu, founder and director of the Reigakusha ensemble, descends from the Koma clan, whose origins date back to the end of the 10th century. These recordings partly reflect repertoires borrowed from Chinese music between the 5th and 9th centuries. The incredible variety of timbres of the instruments greatly amplifies the listener's exotic imagination: the eternal breath of the flutes (ryuteki and hichiriki) creates a sort of suspension of time, together with the hypnotic and hallucinatory atmosphere of the mouth organs (shō). The meditative tone of the string instruments (bika and koto) that punctuate the voids and silences is impressive, as is the enigmatic percussion section, with the tolling of the gong (shōko) and the calibrated beats of the drums (taiko and kakko).

PAPIRO	Uscire Da Fuor	LP	BLACK SWEAT RECORDS	BS 102LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Originally from Sicily but living in Basel, electronic composer Marco Papiro confirms his eccentric and multifaceted personality. The sound articulation of his analog synthesizers flows into in an artificial hyperrealism of great thematic and expressive variation. The tracks unfold between ascending cosmic moments, more ecstatic meditative tones, symphonic planetary floods, exotic Afrodelic and psycho-Andean drifts. Papiro synthesizes and converts echoes of acoustic wind instruments (oboe, recorders, bamboo flute), while the percussion lives on its own pulsating reality. The influence of certain folk traditions, as well as contemporary music, also suggests the more acoustic flavor of an ethereal minimalism (for voice and psaltery), making his music a continuous open sea of visions. Cover painting by Anton Bruhin printed on two different colored papers. Co-released with Les Giants.

PHAROAH CHROMIUM	Chronicles From The Arab Cold War	LP	DISCREPANT	CREP 119LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

VA	Salo or The 120 Day Of Sodom	CD	COLD SPRING RECORDS	CSR 362CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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).

$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 "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."

CIRCLE X	Prehistory	LP	DRAG CITY	DC 968LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 "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."

DO NASCIMENTO & VITTOR SANTOS ORCHESTRA, FABIANO	VILA	CD	FAR OUT RECORDINGS	FARO 255CD
$11.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

ESPLENDOR GEOMETRICO	El Pulso Del Acero: Shinkansen	CD	GEOMETRICK	GR 2163CD
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

CHOWNING, JOHN	Stria	LP	IMPORTANT RECORDS	IMPREC 478LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Dr. John Chowning (b. 1934) is a pioneering computer musician, composer and professor who, in 1967, discovered the FM synthesis algorithm. This breakthrough in electronic music allowed for simple, yet rich timbres described as sounding "real." With this discovery, Chowning composed singular, dramatic electronic music and changed the timbre of music forever. Chowning utilized the potential of computers to synthesize sounds according to programmed instructions. The composer's use of his own FM algorithms, digital synthesis with computers and the new compositional concepts offered by a programmable musical structure combine to create some of the most original and unique electronic music ever created. The compositions on this LP were realized between 1966 and 1981 and the music on this LP, with the exception of "Stria," was originally released on CD in Germany (Wergo, 1988). The version of "Stria" included here contains a section not included on the Wergo CD. Thus, this version of "Stria" is complete. This is the first time these purely digital recordings have been released on an analog medium. The original dynamics of these groundbreaking compositions have been preserved on this LP. As a result, listeners are advised to increase volume with caution. In 1975, John Chowning founded the CCRMA -- Center For Computer Research In Music and Acoustics at Stanford University. Through Stanford, Chowning licensed his groundbreaking algorithms to Yamaha resulting in numerous new instruments including the iconic DX series of keyboards. In 1972, his composition "Tureens," which is included on this LP, was the first to create the illusion of continuous 360-degree space using four speakers. All pieces on this LP are originally quadrophonic. The illusion of moving sound sources is thus projected from the surrounding environment given by four loud-speakers on the stereo-basis. The master tape of the original CD was made directly from the computer system at CCRMA which generated and stored the sound data in digital format. No analog recording was involved at any stage of the production and editing process.

PATZER, PETER	Patterns	LP	TRUNK	JBH 111LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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	Particles & Waves (Blue/White Marble Vinyl)	LP	MUSIC ON VINYL	MOV 3943COL-LP
$39.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 "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."

$200.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Golpes brings together some of the holy grails of Spanish post-punk in 7" format -- records that helped define the sound of the early '80s. This box set is a collection of rarities, but above all, a celebration of monumental songs that have become timeless anthems, transcending darkwave, la movida, and new wave alike. Just look at the lineup: "Autosuficiencia," "El Hospital," "Nacidos para dominar," "Cómo perdimos Berlín," "Quiero ser santa," "Los Celos se apoderan de mí," and, of course, "Golpes." You'll find names like Alaska y los Pegamoides and Gabinete Caligari, who went on to achieve massive popularity and commercial success, alongside legendary artists such as Desechables and Parálisis Permanente -- arguably Spain's most iconic post-punk band -- and cult favorites beloved by the most dedicated fans, like Agrimensor K and El Último Sueño. This box set comprises impossible-to-find singles, genre classics, and rarities like the 12"s by Seres Vacíos or the mythical flexi by Alaska y los Pegamoides, now appearing for the first time ever on 7" vinyl. In total, 14 seven-inch records, each with its original artwork and inserts. Also included is a 24-page booklet featuring flyers, posters, ads, quotes, and fanzine clippings from the era, plus a text by Borja Prieto, and the ultra-rare Alaska y los Pegamoides poster that originally came with the first pressing of their single "Horror en el hipermercado."

EFDEMIN	Poly	2LP	OSTGUT TON	OSTGUT 038LP
$54.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

MARTIN, KEVIN RICHARD	Sub Zero	2LP	PRESSURE	PRESH 028LP
$41.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

ATOM TM	Ich Bin Meine Maschine	12"	RASTER	R-N 146EP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

FRITH/KAREN STACKPOLE, FRED	Nature	CD	SUB ROSA	SR 546CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 "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

PDQB	Mutations, Modifications, and Other Alterations	2LP	SYNAPTIC CLIFFS	SYNAPTIC 019LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

PRITCHARD, BILL	Haunted	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 606CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

MERZBOW	Animal Magnetism	2LP	URASHIMA	UMA 189LP
$43.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 For over four decades, Masami Akita, the man behind Merzbow, has remained one of the most singular and uncompromising figures in experimental music. Known as a pioneer of Japanese noise and a tireless sonic innovator, Akita has consistently pushed boundaries, exploring sound not as a vehicle for melody or harmony, but as a raw material to be shaped, sculpted, and sometimes obliterated. Originally released on CD in 2003, Animal Magnetism is now receiving a long-overdue vinyl reissue -- a deluxe edition that not only revives the album but enhances it. This new edition has been meticulously remastered by Lasse Marhaug, a respected figure in noise and experimental music who brings new clarity, weight, and depth to the recordings. Spread across two vinyl LPs and housed in a gatefold sleeve, the reissue replicates the original artwork, including Masami Akita's own photographs, while also adding a previously unreleased bonus track, "Quiet Comfort #2." Animal Magnetism occupies a unique position in Merzbow's vast catalogue. It is a work that remains firmly rooted in the artist's signature approach -- dense layers of distortion, feedback, and electronic debris -- but it also stands out for its sense of structure, variation, and surprising accessibility. It's an album that, while intense, is not impenetrable. It invites the listener to explore its textures and uncover subtle melodic patterns and rhythmic shifts beneath the surface noise. What makes Animal Magnetism distinctive is its balance between harsh noise and a more refined, composed sensibility. Where many Merzbow albums plunge into total abstraction, this one maintains a sense of movement and progression. The newly added bonus track, "Quiet Comfort #2," fits seamlessly into the album's sound world. It serves as both a continuation and a reflection, extending the album's themes while offering something fresh. Animal Magnetism is not just for seasoned noise fans, but also for adventurous listeners looking for a unique and challenging experience that rewards attention and repeated listening. Pressed on 100% black virgin vinyl to ensure optimum audio quality, housed in a gatefold sleeve featuring Akita's original photographs, limited to 299 copies. This edition is a must-have for collectors and newcomers alike: an essential document of an artist who continues to redefine the outer edges of sound. Absolutely essential.

COSTA, GAL	Gal Costa (1969)	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 344LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 Released in 1969, Gal Costa is the album that cemented Gal as one of the boldest voices of Brazil's Tropicalia movement -- and it still sounds thrillingly alive today. Coming right after the genre-shaking Tropicália ou Panis et Circencis, this LP captures a moment when Brazilian music was breaking rules, blending psychedelia, rock, samba, and poetic experimentation into something totally new. Gal's voice is the real star here: warm, fearless, and incredibly expressive. She moves effortlessly from soft, intimate moments to explosive, full-throttle performances, always sounding confident and emotionally present. Backed by adventurous arrangements and songs from key Tropicalia figures like Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, the album feels both playful and politically charged, even when it's being subtle. Several tracks stand out as absolute classics. "Baby" is a highlight right away -- cool, tender, and deceptively simple, with Gal delivering Caetano Veloso's lyrics in a way that feels both innocent and quietly radical. On the other end of the spectrum, "Divino, Maravilhoso" is pure intensity: urgent, raw, and electrifying, capturing the restless spirit of the era and showcasing Gal's power at full blast. "Não Identificado" leans into dreamy psychedelia, floating between romance and cosmic imagery, while "Que Pena" shows her knack for turning heartbreak into something irresistibly melodic and catchy. What makes this record special is its balance. It's experimental without being alienating, sophisticated without losing its groove. Tracks flow naturally, pulling you into a colorful, slightly rebellious world that reflects the cultural tension and creativity of late-'60s Brazil. If you're curious about Tropicalia or just want a timeless album driven by pure vocal charisma, Gal Costa (1969) is an essential listen.

Fafá de Belém's versions, however, strip away the originals' sophisticated arrangements in favor of a more driving groove and a raw, funky edge that makes them absolute dancefloor weapons.

PAN AFRIKAN PEOPLES ARKESTRA	Live At Widney High, December 26th 1971	2LP	THE VILLAGE	VLG 012LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 On a Sunday in the early '70s in South LA one could easily find themselves experiencing the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra doing what they do for the community, performing incredible music. Live at Widney High December 26th, 1971 is a previously unreleased PAPA recording. It finds director Horace Tapscott conducting the band at Widney Career Preparatory and Transition Center, a special-education magnet high school in Los Angeles. The band played shows here between 1970 and '72, often sharing the bill with contemporaries John Carter and Bobby Bradford's group, and at one point the Sun-Ra Arkestra. These weekend shows were free and meant for the surrounding Black community. On this date the PAPA performed a range of compositions from the Ark's expansive songbook, including arrangements of tunes by Pharoah Sanders and John Coltrane. The album's first single, Tapscott's arrangement of Coltrane's "Equinox," is one of many Coltrane compositions the Arkestra performed, as the most forward-thinking jazz player of the time was a consistent inspiration for the Ark. It's second single, "The Creator Has A Master Plan" demonstrates Tapscott's simplicity along with the band's fiery pace and feeling. The track list is completed by traditional spiritual "Motherless Child," and a medley of two compositions by Herbert Baker, one of the Arkestra's young pianists who passed in a car accident at age 17; "Little A's Chant," with lyrics written and sang by Linda Hill, and the hypnotic "Flight 17".

SHERMAN, BIM	Ghetto Dub	LP	WEEK-END RECORDS	WE 019LP
$42.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

STARDRUM, BOOKER	Close-up On The Outside	LP	WE JAZZ	WJLP 080LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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."

$41.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 WRWTFWW Records presents a limited-edition vinyl release of the remarkable PONYBOI (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Chilean-born composer, arranger, music producer, and multi-instrumentalist Cristobal "Cristo" Tapia de Veer (The White Lotus, Utopia, Smile, Black Mirror, and many more). This collector's edition presents Tapia de Veer's complete original score for the critically acclaimed feature film PONYBOI -- a bold, genre-defying neo-noir tale directed by Esteban Arango and starring filmmaker, actor, screenwriter, model, and intersex rights activist River Gallo who also wrote the movie. The soundtrack arrives as a deluxe audiophile vinyl LP, housed in a luxurious 350gsm gold cardboard sleeve, cut with utmost precision by Sidney Claire Meyer at the legendary Emil Berliner Studios, home to Deutsche Grammophon's world-renowned legacy. Vivid, seductive, gritty, dreamy, tender, and sometimes heart-pounding in its tension, the PONYBOI soundtrack is a sinuous creature of its own -- an emotional, atmospheric, and deeply textural listening experience. Tapia de Veer fuses shimmering electronics with haunting melodies, raw rhythms, shadowy ambience, and surges of romantic intensity, perfectly embodying the film's world of danger, desire, identity, and survival on a single wild New Jersey night. It's daring, intimate, stylishly noir, and unmistakably Cristo: music that refuses boundaries and speaks directly to the pulse. The LP showcases Cristobal Tapia de Veer's uncanny ability to blend experimental sound design with narrative emotion -- a talent that has earned him global acclaim and numerous awards, including four Primetime Emmy Awards for The White Lotus. This new WRWTFWW edition celebrates his artistry in its purest form: warm, rich, analog, and physically stunning. A must for soundtrack fanatics, ambient and experimental music lovers, and rare memorabilia collectors.

TSUCHITORI/RYUICHI SAKAMOTO, TOSHIYUKI	Disappointment-Hateruma	CD	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSCD 109CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/27/2026 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.

OHKAMI NO JIKAN	Black Tape II	LP	BLACK EDITIONS/LA MUSICA RECORDS	BELA 006-077LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 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.

VA	Leve Leve Vol. 2: Sao Tome & Principe Sounds 70s-80s	CD	BONGO JOE RECORDS	BJR 120CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 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.

MOGARD, ABUL	In a Few Places Along the River	LP	SOFT ECHOES	ECH 002LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 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.

BLURT	Smoke Time	CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 523CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 "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."

DAVID AND HIS WINOS, MOGAN	Savage Young Winos	CD	LIBERATION HALL	LIB 2142CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 "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."

GOLDMANN, STEFAN	Automation Studies Vol.1	3CD	MACRO RECORDINGS	MACROM 084CD
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 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.

DAVE, MURKAGE	Brut Thoughts	CD	MURKAGE DAVE	MDLP 003CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 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.

STEPMOTHER	Bring Me Flowers And Tell Me You Love Me	CD	MEGAPHONE	MEGA 039CD
$15.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 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.

STEPMOTHER	Bring Me Flowers And Tell Me You Love Me	LP	MEGAPHONE	MEGA 039LP
$31.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 LP version. 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.

GURU GURU	Mani und seine Freunde	CD	MADE IN GERMANY	MIG 3602CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 "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."

GOLDEN EARRING	On The Double (Clear Vinyl)	2LP	MUSIC ON VINYL	MOV 4030COL-LP
$54.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 "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."

$38.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 "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."

NOCELLA, LARRY	Everything Happens To Me	CD	RED RECORDS	RR 123167CD
$17.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 "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."

VASCONCELOS, MARA & NANA	Ntsano	CD	RED RECORDS	RR 123171CD
$17.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 "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."

PARMINTER	Hiperborea	CD	SILKHEART	SHCD 169CD
$17.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 "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."

JAUMET, ETIENNE	Du cortex a l'iris	LP	VERSATILE RECORDS	VER 049LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 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.

$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/6/2026 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.

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.

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.

$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/12/2026 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.

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.

THOUGHT LEADERSHIP	IV Of Cups	LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 195LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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.

OMARI, ABDOU EL	Lost Tape - 1980	CD	BORN BAD RECORDS	BORNBAD 191CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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	Rage Blossom	LP	BORN BAD RECORDS	BORNBAD 193LP
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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.

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.

REJOICER FEAT. SAM WILKES & TAMIR BARZILAY	California Space Craft	LP	CIRCUS COMPANY	CCS 138LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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.

VARIANT	The Setting Sun	2LP	FIELD RECORDS	FIELD 040LP
$43.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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.

NOTWIST, THE	News from Planet Zombie	CD	MORR MUSIC	MORR 207CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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).

GLASS, PHILIP	Glassworks	LP	MUSIC ON VINYL	MOVCL 008LP
$38.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 "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."

AGNEW, RIKK	All By Myself	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 496LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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.

ROCH CON LAS VOCES FRESCAS, ERNAN	La Onda Pesada	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 497LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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.

LE CAROUSEL	The Humans Will Destroy Us	LP	PHIL KIERAN RECORDS	PKRLP 005LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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.

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.

$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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	El Nuevo Montuno Llego	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 347LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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	Quinteplus	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 349LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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.

$42.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/13/2026 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.

SHAW, WOODY	In My Own Sweet Way	2LP	IN AND OUT RECORDS	IOR 771731LP
$43.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 "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."

Having made only a handful of albums over the course of his long career, his demo session recordings have become legendary primarily because of the versatility and range of his voice, and its ability to sell a song. 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	Live at Rockpalast 1999	2CD	MADE IN GERMANY	MIG 91072CD
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 "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."

VA	Indian Talking Machine Part Two: Instrumental Gems From The 78rpm Era	2LP	SUBLIME FREQUENCIES	SF 131LP
$35.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 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.

IFANAME	IFANAME	LP	SONIG	SONIG 097LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 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.

$7.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 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.

5 ROYALES, THE	The Complete Apollo Sessions	2CD	HISTORY OF SOUL RECORDS	SOUL 016CD
$7.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 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.

The album relishes the ecstatic in performance and collaboration with an inviting wit and incisive compositions, imbuing tenderness, frustration, and joy into each passage. The title is an acknowledgement of the vernacular that shaped maurice's musical production. 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.

COLLEEN	Libres Antes del Final	CD	THRILL JOCKEY	THRILL 652CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/20/2026 "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."

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.

DI LOMBO, JOSEPH SCHIANO	Le tact (Sound piece for Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson)	LP	CIRCUS COMPANY	CCS 136LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/27/2026 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.

NEVES E SILVA	Ladeiras De Santa Teresa	CD	FAR OUT RECORDINGS	FARO 256CD
$11.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/27/2026 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.

MAIA, TIM	Tim Maia (1973)	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 342LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/27/2026 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.

BEN, JORGE	Jorge Ben (1969)	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 343LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/27/2026 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.

DUCHAMP, MARCEL	Duchamp on Tape: The Janis Family Interviews	Book	MUSEUM OF MODERN ART	9781633451766
$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 3/31/2026 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."

WEDDING PRESENT, THE	Maxi	LP	HHBTM RECORDS	HHBTM 240LP
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/3/2026 "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 2025 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."

AUS ISODA	Interwoven	CD	WRWTFWW RECORDS	WRWTFWW 129CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/3/2026 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.

$21.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/7/2026 "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."

PERRY, LEE 'SCRATCH'	Black Ark	Book	PATRICK FREY EDITION	9783907236666
$65.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/14/2026 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."

KELLY, RICKEY	My Kind Of Music	CD	JAZZMAN RECORDS	JMAN 150CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/17/2026 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."

HABEL, JUNI	Evergreen In Your Mind	CD	BASIN ROCK	BR 025CD
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 4/24/2026 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.

BARBIERI & BENDIK GISKE, CATERINA	At Source	CD	LIGHT-YEARS	LY 009CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 5/8/2026 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.
