Includes four-page insert. "TCJQ together with Gary Peacock and Sunny Murray! This is THE sunken treasure. This is music I have only heard about. And yet, here it is. Unbelievable. Intact. Preserved. Beaming of energy and JOY! This is a sensational find. My favorite Danes exploding together with my favorite double bass player all time. Gary Peacock. The engine. The power engine. I can hardly breathe when he plays, and when he starts soloing and creating beautiful duo bass action with his colleague Steffen Andersen in this very first recording of 'Predetermination,' 10 minutes in -- my heart expands, and the world suddenly looks and sounds entirely different. Add Sunny Murray on top of it all? The master of unreal flow and accents. Sunny was a beast to deal with at the time. But what he adds to the music is pure poetry. No other drummer did anything even close to this back in the mid-'60s. To have Steinmetz and Beckerlee playing alongside Peacock and Murray in 1964 is as good as it gets. The absolute point-zero of free jazz, Spiritual Unity, was just released. It changed everything. This is the mother of it all. The birth. You would think Steinmetz and Beckerlee would have had a little anxiety joining the American duo. There is nothing of uncertainty or vague playing here. This is for real. Right-on-take-no-prisoners-do-not-look-back. Added to the A-side of this mythical recording with creative Danes and the rhythm section of Spiritual Unity is a little improvised miniature. 'In the Name of Beauty.' The title very accurately describes what is going on. TCJQ creating pure communal beauty. Steinmetz, Beckerlee and Andersen getting very real! Dig the harmonics of the last note. The B-side´s 'Spontaneity,' 'Action' and 'Collusion' are just wild. Raw. And utterly beautiful. The group is doing real sharing on a level unheard of before. While listening through this music numerous times and trying to write something simultaneously of intellectual or emotional content something happens? I lose the sense of time. The emerging free jazz scene of Denmark of the early '60s, is something spectacular and WILD. Years before the other Scandinavian countries even got a grip of the new jazz, the Danes were doing it already. Fueled by very important guest visits by Cecil Taylor, Sunny Murray and Albert Ayler at both clubs and radio or TV appearances. Those were the times when public service actually noticed new developments in art, music and literature." Mats Gustafsson, April 2026

"Frank Sinatra's career took a significant turn when he signed with Capitol Records in the 1950s. After a slump in popularity, he reinvented himself, transitioning from a pop crooner to a more sophisticated, swinging artist, defining the album as an art form. This period, often considered his artistic peak, produced some of his most iconic and influential recordings, setting the stage for his legendary status. This LP, Best of the Capitol Years, is a definitive collection that captures the essence of that remarkable era. It features a powerful selection of songs that showcase Sinatra's unmatched vocal phrasing and the lush, brilliant arrangements that became his signature. The album swings from the joyful exuberance of 'I've Got The World On A String,' 'You're Sensational,' and 'Young At Heart' to the romantic charm of hits like 'Love And Marriage' and 'Witchcraft.' It also includes the heartfelt balladry of 'All The Way' and the triumphant anthem 'High Hopes.' The collection showcases the full breadth of his genius, from the playful duet 'Hey! Jealous Lover' and the whimsical 'Ol' Mac Donald' to the melancholy beauty of 'Learnin' The Blues.' A celebration of timeless melodies, from the iconic 'Three Coins In The Fountain' to the cinematic 'South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way),' this collection is an essential document of a cultural giant at the peak of his powers, confirming his place as one of the greatest vocalists of all time."

From the mournful 'Still In The Dark' to the party atmosphere of 'Well Alright,' this collection captures the full emotional and sonic range of his talent. The album's tracklist demonstrates his mastery of the genre, moving seamlessly from the smooth R&B of 'The Chill Is On' to the lively jump blues of 'T.V. Mama.' The collection also includes classics like 'Sweet Sixteen' and 'Corrine, Corrina,' showcasing the rich, diverse sound that made him a legend. From the insistent rhythm of 'Rock A While' to the confident swagger of 'Lipstick, Powder And Paint,' this is a must-have album for anyone interested in the foundational years of rock and roll."

"Coleman Hawkins, widely known as 'Hawk,' was one of the most important and influential figures in jazz history. He single-handedly established the tenor saxophone as a major solo instrument, transforming it from a novelty into a powerful and expressive voice. The period from 1937 to 1948 was particularly crucial for Hawkins, as he returned from Europe and entered his most productive years, bridging the gap between the structured swing era and the improvisational freedom of bebop. Hawk's Flight: 1937-48 is a definitive collection that showcases the soaring artistry of a true jazz master. It features his most iconic and revered recording, the breathtakingly beautiful 'Body & Soul,' which remains a masterpiece of lyrical improvisation. The album highlights his versatility with classic standards like 'Honeysuckle Rose,' 'Stardust,' and 'She's Funny That Way,' as well as his groundbreaking forays into bebop, captured on tracks like 'Disorder At The Border' and 'Picasso.' The collection masterfully documents the evolution of jazz through the work of one of its greatest soloists. Tracks like 'Riffitide' and 'Stuffy' demonstrate his rhythmic ingenuity and sophisticated improvisational style, while the swinging 'Crazy Rhythm' and 'Voodte' show his enduring command of the swing idiom. With timeless renditions of 'The Man I Love' and 'April In Paris,' alongside bebop-inflected numbers like 'Bean & The Boys,' this collection is an essential document of a jazz genius at the very peak of his powers."

Includes new album Rotation (LP 1), High Low presented on vinyl for the first time (LP 2), debut album Trickfinger I on green vinyl (LPs 3 and 4), and Trickfinger II on red vinyl (LP 5). "When I recorded the first two Trickfinger records, I had recently discovered that you could make electronic music in a room with a bunch of synced machines going at the same time, record it on a CD burner and have a finished track. I've heard this process described as 'overdubbing into the air.' I wasn't trying to be good, or original. I was just excited that music could be made that way; it felt like I was a whole group of musicians playing together, or like I was jamming with ghosts of myself. In 2007, I started doing it myself, which resulted in what was eventually released as Trickfinger, and Trickfinger II. I was just home from tour and was still in the middle of recording The Empyrean. A couple of years later I started making music by overdubbing onto a computer, but using the same machines. I tried to make music that didn't sound like anything else. I saw a way of combining progressive rock and synth pop which nobody had done. And I was combining my songwriting and guitar playing with these old machines in a way which I was sure was unique. I had reached a point where it was more important to do something original than to do something good. Some of this music did not get a proper release, and is compiled here as the vinyl record High Low. I don't think I have ever tried so hard at making music as I did during that period. This in contrast to those two Trickfinger records, where I wasn't trying at all. I was really pushing myself on High Low. Looking back, it was as if I had an audience inside myself, driving me to go beyond my abilities, while at the same time I had a total disregard for any concept of an actual audience. It was one of those periods in life where things come together in a certain way that feels natural at the time, but seems foreign in retrospect. It felt like I was going to die if I didn't do something musically different. The fourth record in this box is me breaking in a new mixing console, making live-to-stereo music. The record is called Rotation, and it is all new music. These tracks are more in the 'not trying' category, since we're on that subject. I had just come home from tour, and was just really glad to be in the studio with my machines. Acid Test thought it would be nice to do a box set commemorating the 10th anniversary of the release of Trickfinger, and so we put together this box set, with homemade cover art." --John Frusciante, 2026

"Long before Ike Turner rose to global fame alongside Tina Turner, he discovered a wealth of extraordinary vocal talents -- and among the most powerful was Billy Gayles. With a voice deeply rooted in gospel and driven by unrestrained energy, Gayles stands as one of the most underrated figures of the early rock 'n' roll era. This exclusive 10" vinyl release delivers a concentrated selection of his most powerful recordings -- raw, intense, and uncompromising. From his explosive 1954 debut Night Howler to the legendary 1956 sessions with Ike Turner & The Kings of Rhythm for Federal Records, this collection captures a sound far ahead of its time. Tracks like 'I'm Tore Up,' 'Take Your Fine Frame Home,' and 'Do Right Baby' showcase Gayles' remarkable ability to fuse emotional depth with musical precision. Driven by Ike Turner's groundbreaking guitar work -- featuring wild, then-revolutionary whammy bar techniques -- these recordings radiate electrifying intensity. Additional rare tracks from the late 1950s and early 1960s complete the portrait of a versatile and passionate artist. Pressed on 10" vinyl and cut at 45 RPM, this edition offers superior sound dynamics and punch, bringing the energy of these recordings vividly to life. Strictly limited to just 500 copies worldwide, this release is aimed squarely at collectors, vinyl enthusiasts, and fans of authentic rhythm and blues and early rock 'n' roll. Billy Gayles combines the emotional depth of Ray Charles with the raw force of early rock 'n' roll. This is more than a compilation -- it's a long-overdue tribute to an exceptional artist."

When Conal was released in 1981 on the Norwegian independent label Uniton Records with an initial run of 4,000 LPs, Schnitzler had already long been known beyond the borders of the Federal Republic of Germany and was now appreciated worldwide as a media artist and musician. In addition to the many cassette and LP editions he released himself, international labels were now increasingly releasing his music. In the same year as Conal, for example, the album Control was released on the American label DYS, followed in 1986 by Concert in the USA and Consequenz 2 in Spain. Schnitzler worked tirelessly and his total work of art, including his music, was becoming increasingly multifaceted. Conal is a good example of this development.
"The two tracks, each around 21 minutes long ('N1' and 'N2'), are not cast from the same mold, but consist of several parts blended together, which are not noted as such in the credits. This sequence creates the character of a narrative divided into several chapters, which, however, does not offer the listener a concrete plot. Schnitzler was not a storyteller. When he divides long pieces into clearly distinguishable sections, as he does here in Conal, it is in order to create a kind of panoramic view of his current work phase in condensed form. The complexity of the individual sections and the extraordinarily skillful and technically flawless crossfades and layering suggest that Conal was once again produced in Peter Baumann's studio. Although the good relationship between the two musicians never led to a musical collaboration, Baumann repeatedly made his extremely well-equipped Paragon Studio available to Schnitzler. It is also conceivable that Baumann and his brilliant sound engineer Will Roper provided useful technical suggestions for the realization of Schnitzler's music. Conal is one of those albums that, when it was released in the early 1980s, astonished Schnitzler listeners in a positive way: Schnitzler had once again dared to take an artistic step forward. It is hard to comprehend that this restless, uncompromising artist released one high-caliber album after another in relatively quick succession. For he was not only a musician, but also a media artist, performer and author of art theory texts. Fortunately, Conal is one of the treasures from his catalogue of works, and I have already asked elsewhere: How many other treasures are waiting to be rediscovered. The grand mosaic that is Schnitzler still has gaps, even when the contours are clearly visible." --Asmus Tietchens, 2025

Color vinyl version. A cornerstone in European experimental and popular modern composition. Formed around the core of jazz vibraphonist Christian Burchard and drummer Dieter Serfas, the group started his career in Munich in 1969. More than 300 musicians have passed through their ranks, from their colleagues in Amon Duül II (Lother Meid, Chris Karrer, Jimmy Jackson), Xhol (Hansi Fischer), Between (Roberto Detree, Peter Hamel) to renowned jazzmen (Charlie Mariano, Mal Waldron) and countless musicians from around the world (Yoruba Dun Dun Orchester, Okay Temiz & Oriental Wind, Karnataka College Of Percussion, Mahmoud Gania, Xizhi Nie), making Embryo an ever-changing but always interesting collective of musicians. This is where it all began. Originally released by Ohr in 1970, Embryo's legendary debut was an inventive piece of progressive jazz-rock spiced-up with free moves and soaked in a late '60s psychedelic atmosphere. Miles Davis was right, Embryo was more than a unique experience. While talking with Charlie Mariano (the saxophone player was one of the most impressive collaborators of the band) one day he stated: "Embryo -- they are these crazy creative musicians playing really weird stuff." When you get the blessing from the prince of darkness itself, nothing can go wrong, so here's the story. Opal was the beginning of all things to come, the record was released in 1970 and licensed by pioneering early Berlin rock/jazz/experimental music label Ohr. It was quite a shock!

LP version. "Raw, defiant, and steeped in heavy roots reality, Kunta Kinte Roots captures Ranking Dread at the height of his powers -- riding the rhythm with fire and authority over deep Channel One-style dub backdrops. These recordings embody the militant sound of late '70s Jamaica: hypnotic basslines, echo-drenched horns, and Dread's commanding voice calling for strength, pride, and liberation. The legendary 'Kunta Kinte' story lies at the heart of the session -- its legacy driving each track like a chapter in the roots revolution. A fierce blend of message and musical muscle, Kunta Kinte Roots stands as a testament to Ranking Dread's status as one of the era's most potent and uncompromising voices. Heavy vibes, militant grooves -- and pure sound system history. Incl. insert with sleeve notes."

A major figure in Cameroonian makossa, Ngallé Jojo returns with Élo-Lodie/Caresse d'Amour, his first recording in over 30 years. A singer, songwriter, and producer born in Douala, he rose to fame in the late 1970s with tracks that have become classics, before settling in France and dedicating himself to his faith, like Al Green or Solomon Burke. Now rediscovered by collectors and new audiences alike, he makes a comeback that retains all the hallmarks of his style: a driving rhythm, layers of synthesizers, rich melodies, and his signature catchphrase: CHAUD (Hot). A must- see.

"Fortune favors the brave. And lordy, nobody has been more rewarded than I have by stumbling into the brilliantly crafted world of Ultra Lights. It started innocently enough when I witnessed their second show, appearing on a stacked bill that included locals Bizner and Arbor Labor Union and the Dutch phenom band Lewsberg. After their opening set, I went up to guitarist/vocalist John Robinson and asked if their closing song was a cover, because it sounded so dang familiar. An earworm for the ages, if you will. Yeah, it was that annoyingly catchy. Maybe was it a Fang song? That Sunday night signaled the beginning of my torrid love affair with Ultra Lights? Enter Pleasure's All Yours. A record that, by any reasonable metric, is a stone-cold masterpiece? Pleasure's All Yours is a record that came out of the forge perfectly cast. A prestige effort. This record is honest t'god special. Become properly acquainted with Pleasure's All Yours. Listen to it. Study it. And let me just get this out of the way: John Robinson is a songwriting genius with derisively brilliant nihilistic lyrics. He's a mindful postgrad of years upon years of studying the masters, from Australia's supreme trash rock to American buzz guitar pop and back again. Pleasure's All Yours is eleven songs of unrelenting perfection. Such laconically brilliant songcraft that you're gonna wonder, just like I did, if that last song's a cover. Let me tell ya somethin', cupcake, it's all original. Lyrical headscratchers abound? Pleasure's All Yours is an unstoppable pop juggernaut. John's wife, Leela, is on second guitar and backup vox. The rough-and-tumble rhythm section of Gus and Alex have stripped away the bullshit, leaving nothing but a sinewy platform for John's inarguably flawless jams. Listen to the album once and you'll agree. Recorded masterfully by Khris Sampson and mastered beautifully by Mikey Young. Pleasure's all yours, indeed. As with all things at Chunklet, the buck stops with me. Theoretically, if Pleasure's All Yours were the final release for the label, would I be proud? Not only am I proud, but I'd hazard to say it could be the best record the label has ever released. But hey, tell your friends. Mark your calendars. Heed my words. Pleasure's All Yours is the feel-good hit of not just this summer but every summer until the end of time. Blast it." -Chunklet Industries

Reissue of the third album from Brazilian combo. Creatively visionary and groundbreaking on numerous terms, 1975's O Africanto dos Tincoãs (as the previous Os Tincoas album) revolutionized Brazilian music by harmonizing Afro-religious singing, heavenly vocal harmonies, and percussive rhythms derived from Candomblé traditions. Even though it was recorded during a time of political repression, the album remains gentle, rhythmic, and reflecting Afro-Brazilian syncretism and resonating with themes of suffering, exile, and hope.

"Edgar debuts on Dark Entries with Pavor, an 11-track LP of sleazy disco, warped synthpop, and gothic cumbia. Veteran musician Luis Gutierrez has spent the past two decades touring in bands, running Lalalandia Studio, and building his practice in Oakland and Guadalajara. But now, for his first solo outing, he has become Edgar, a pop star who knows no limits! 'Edgar feels mightier than anyone but is always reduced to his vices,' says Gutierrez, and Pavor delivers vices in spades. From the opening salvos of 'Otra Agua,' it's clear listeners are in for a wild ride: seasick synths slide along slamming disco beats, menacingly chanted vocals sit amid a flurry of careening horror movie samples. The mischief does not abate through a demented funhouse of genre detournements. Edgar puts his indelible fingerprints over every inch of this vinyl, from up-tempo numbers like the spooky chip-tune frenzy of 'Nunca Mas' to the twisted cumbia of 'Panteon.' There's even a fairly faithful (and majestic) Spanish-language cover of Amanda Lear's 'Follow Me,' here titled 'Sigueme.' EBM, space disco, and horror movie soundtracks all find their way into the mix on Pavor, but the diverse palette comes together perfectly, like a Yello album for the 21st century. Pavor comes housed in a sleeve designed by Eloise Shir-Juen Leigh and features a photograph by Izaak Schlossman. Also included is an insert with lyrics and notes. On Pavor, Edgar brings people a healthy dose of pure excess, reminding audiences that dread can be a hell of a lot of fun."

Definitive Recordings presents a special vinyl-only release as Roland Leesker delivers his cover version of "What You Need," the seminal house anthem originally released in 1990 by Soft House Company. This release is a respectful homage to one of house music's defining records, crafted for DJs and collectors alike. While retaining the essence of the original, this version introduces a more energetic bassline before weaving in a subtle 303 acid line, bridging different eras of house music history into one hypnotic, evolving arrangement. This vinyl-only release is a tribute to the legacy of house music -- respectful, powerful, and made to be played loud on a proper sound system.

Call it soulful dream pop, proto-trip hop, or downtempo jazz -- Tender Rain is the follow-up LP to the successful This Is album and continues to deliver Ghia's unmistakable sonic magic. On this release, the band shares a selection of previously unreleased vocal songs alongside instrumental pieces, all carried by their trademark chilled and almost meditative atmosphere. Most of the recordings date from the early 1990s, while early demo versions of "New Love" and "Teardrops in Your Eyes" may reach back as far as the late 1980s. The album opens with the title track "Tender Rain," where smooth vocal jazz harmonies merge effortlessly with soulful pop elements. The track originally appeared only on CD in 1993 on the small Mikado label run by renowned German guitarist Ulli Bögershausen. The band recalls that the piece was first pre-recorded using MIDI equipment and a Tascam 16-track recorder before being completed in the studio with drums by legendary drummer Mickie Stickdorn, percussion by Corinna Ludzuweit, and the final touch -- Lisa Ohm's remarkable vocals. Several further pieces in a similar vein were created during this period, including the previously unissued "Auf unserm grünen Sofa," "Reise bei Nacht," and "Was ich Dir noch sagen wollte." These tracks are beautifully crafted downtempo pieces featuring smooth, jazzy piano lines combined with touches of ambient and New Age aesthetics. "Auf unserm grünen Sofa" stands out in particular and will likely resonate with all downtempo enthusiasts. Lutz Boberg recalls that many of these recordings were captured during a single afternoon in the studio, fueled by spontaneous ideas and creative momentum. On tracks such as "Teardrops in Your Eyes," "New Love," and the haunting Dark Spirits Mix of Ghia's song "What's Your Voodoo?," singer Lisa Ohm delivers soulful pop performances with her clear and captivating voice. Together with This Is and Curacao Blue, Tender Rain forms another essential chapter in the rediscovery of the band's work. More than thirty years after their creation, these recordings still sound strikingly fresh, reflecting a unique style that in many ways anticipated the rise of trip-hop in the early to mid-1990s.

After enticing tastemakers and fans the world over with her two-track junket into street soul, Kuzco doubles down with the after-hours antidote. Bound to Be presents the final two tracks to complete the 4-track EP, plus two remixes from Ladymonix and Black Moonchild. Ladymonix delivers an uncompromising scat dub of "Be Loved" -- a niche and signature style to emerge from the Detroit underground that Ladymonix champions. This one is strictly for the house dancers. The B-side features "Waaalk" and "Ha Ha Ha," a sultry and energetic jaunt into ghetto tech and electro. If it wasn't already evident, Kuzco is clearly making a stand and representing the FLINTA and queer club spaces that she embodies. The B-side is perfectly complemented by an outstanding remix from Detroit powerhouse Black Moonchild -- a superbly deep and hypnotic techno groove reminiscent of UFO activity over the Motor City, with bleeping electronic signals passing through jittery hi-hat and drum passages, married with Kuzco's saucy spoken word.

Carefully remastered and restored by Gilles Laujol. Graphic design by Stefan Thanneur. Heavyweight 180gr double LP. 425gm brown board gatefold outer sleeve with four-page portfolio. At the beginning of the 1960s, at the Berklee College of Music, Byard Lancaster met some feisty friends: Sonny Sharrock, Dave Burrell and Ted Daniel. It is easy to see why he rapidly became involved in free jazz. Once he was settled in New York, he appeared on Sunny Murray Quintet, recorded under the leadership of the drum crazy colleague of Albert Ayler. In 1968, the saxophonist and flutist recorded his first album under his own name: It's Not Up To Us. The following year he came to Paris in the wake of Sunny Murray. He would come back to France in 1971 (again with Murray) and in 1973 (without Murray for a change). This is when he met Jef Gilson, the pianist and producer who encouraged him to record under his own name again. On Palm Records (Gilson's label), he would release four albums: Us, Mother Africa, Exactement and Funny Funky Rib Crib. The recording of Exactement required two sessions in the studio: February 1st and May 18th 1974 -- in between the two dates, Lancaster recorded, alongside Clint Jackson, the excellent "Mother Africa." Two names appear on the cover of Exactement: Lancaster (Byard) and Speller (Keno). Byard Lancaster wanted to be precise, moving regularly from one instrument to another: first on piano, which was the first instrument he learned. On "Sweet Evil Miss Kisianga," his inspiration is first and foremost Coltrane (even if leaning more towards Alice than John), this announces the storm to follow. It is Lancaster's horn-playing which really stands out: on alto (the sound of which is transformed by an octavoice on one track, "Dr. Oliver W. Lancaster") or soprano saxophones, as well as on flute or bass clarinet, the musician walks a tightrope making the most of all the risks he takes. Using the full register of his instruments, he has fun with the possibilities. Then, Lancaster invokes or evokes Ornette Coleman, Eric Dolphy and even Prokofiev, before going into a danse alongside Keno Speller on percussion. Above all, he has a unique sound. Byard Lancaster, on whatever instrument he plays and by continually seeking, always ends up hitting the right note -- ends up by playing exactement the note he had to play.

This is when he met Jef Gilson, the pianist and producer who encouraged him to record under his own name again. On Palm Records (Gilson's label), he would release four albums: Us, Mother Africa, Exactement, and Funny Funky Rib Crib. Funny Funky Rib Crib is an unforgettable recording (made up of several sessions dating from the middle of 1974) of creative jazz overwhelmed by funk and soul. If Lancaster had already made successful albums in the same genre -- notably New Horizons, under the name Sounds Of Liberation which he co-led with Khan Jamal -- this one is an homage to James Brown and Sammy Davis, enjoying the company of a host of guests including François Tusques (electric piano), Clint Jackson III (trumpet), François Nyombo (guitar), and Joseph Traindl (trombone). Funny Funky Rib Crib's cover is a three-quarter profile portrait of the saxophonist (who can also be heard on flute, piano and even vocals), however, on the record, it is the whole group, inspired and frenetic, that tests the melodies of "Just Test," "Dogtown," or "Rib Crib" -- the two versions of which display leader Lancaster's art of nuance. On both sides of the album, the group also moves into a calmer groove, infused by blues and soul, "Work And Pray" and "Loving Kindness" are meditative tracks where listeners can lay back and relax before asking for more.

Featuring DJ Anderson do Paraiso, DJ Sandrinho, Jonas Albrecht, Xexa, Felinto, Gabi Guedes, Sávio de Queiroz, Vincent Taeger, and Kimia. Upon their arrival in Brazil after the traumatic Atlantic crossing, enslaved populations from West Africa sought to reconstruct their sacred cultural and spiritual systems within a profoundly hostile environment. Five centuries later, the vitality of terreiros (ritual grounds) across the country bears witness to a living and adaptive religion that continues to evolve while remaining deeply rooted in ancestral traditions. Today, Candomblé is celebrated throughout Brazil and increasingly recognized internationally, far beyond Afro-descendant communities. The project Candomblé: Sacred Rhythms in Brazil, articulated around the publication of a book and a double LP combining original sound archives with newly commissioned compositions, seeks to honor this tradition by documenting its historical foundations while offering a critical and artistic reflection on its contemporary transformations and future trajectories.

"High Cube is the beat-focused brainchild of Brian Foote (Peak Oil, Leech) and Paul Dickow (Strategy, Community Library), two legends of the US experimental underground. After some 30-odd years of making music separately and together, Foote and Dickow are collaborating in earnest for the first time as a duo. For this debut the pair enforced a simple, stringent set of rules: five instruments, a one-hour timer, and a total ban on overthinking. The result is the sound of two old friends unplugging the usual levers and letting the 'accident' of their chemistry take the wheel. It is drier, sparser, and decidedly 'chunky' -- a fictional band stepping into a suit to drive around for a while. It is neither dance nor chill-out, but a moody, complex trajectory defined not by the gear used to make it but by the narrative mood it compels. 'Volcano Snail' starts things off in a disheveled shuffle, locking into gear with blurred and bubbling effluence. The shimmering dimness is lit low, with a woozy gait that recalls the headiest highs and luminescent lows of Jan Jelinek. 'Underwater Welder' is a foggy, neon-lit cruise of skittering low-ends suspended in a permanent fall of color, while 'A Dragon's Treasure is its Soul' offers blown-apart, low-end city pop fragmented into an array of rhythmic detritus. Chordal textures hover in the air as a percussive loop takes its beguiling and frolicking shape. B-side opener 'Yonaguni' shapeshifts in real time, drifting with the grace of a glacier before bobbing in a frigid pool of vibrating clatter, static, and synth stabs. 'Ofid+wor' offers a tried and true blitz of braindance, nodding to an endless list of 20th and 21st-century electronic body music. Buoyant closer 'Mother of Thousands' holds a gravity-defying tenderness, pirouetting on a breeze with the elegance of effervescent longing. The six extended tracks of High Cube are tethered to nothing but the ether -- a giant sonic leap of peripheral absurdity from two artists with a lifetime of shared rhythm."

Megaptera, the scientific name of the humpback whale, is also the title of the new album by French producer and composer Rone. Born from an ambitious film project, the record was largely composed at sea, off the coasts of Brittany and Réunion Island, using a modular synthesizer and melodic sketches developed for an almost unreal proposition: attempting to resonate with whales through music. Following Room With a View -- a soundtrack to a performance created with the alternative dance company La Horde, exploring collapse and rebirth -- Rone continues his investigation into new imaginaries. If that earlier work emerged from reflections on ecological, social, and technological tipping points, Megaptera marks a shift: away from the city, toward the sea. Gradually, he moved away from performance toward a more craft-based approach, extending his practice beyond the studio into a wider space of listening, exchange, and fieldwork. Early footage of sailors broadcasting his work into open water -- seemingly answered by whale presence -- circulated online, generating fascination, but also a growing unease for the artist regarding what these projections might imply. This tension became the starting point for a longer period of field experimentation, developed in dialogue with scientists, environmentalists, sailors, and bioacousticians. The resulting 15-track album reflects this open-ended inquiry -- not only into whether human-made sound can reach whales, but also into how this process can shape a new form of electronic music, and open it towards new deep-sea soundscapes. Rather than seeking imitation, Rone works with reduction. Drawing on research into cetacean vocalization, he pares back his language -- focusing on frequency bands, repetition, and suspended structures. Minimalism appears less as reference than as natural convergence.

Martinou reshapes "Schwarm" into fluid sound currents and a glowing, hypnotic arpeggio. Intimate yet euphoric, it's a slow-burning dream. He and Harald Björk first connected through Myspace in 2008. Martinou has since released on Nous'klaer and Mule Musiq, among others. Gregor Tresher revives Sniper Mode with sharp 808 electro -- minimal, deep, precise. Björk reworks his Cocoon Recordings release into a deeper, more spacious trance journey. A staple in his live sets and championed by Ida Engberg and John Digweed, it returns stripped, atmospheric and hypnotic. AD is the deeper alias of Alexi Delano, a key figure since the SVEK era. His version drifts through nocturnal Stockholm -- dubby, cold, immersive.

First time on yellow vinyl. Welcome to the Rocksteady Sound from Jamaica.

So sit back and enjoy the tunes that rocked the island between 1966-1968 the Rocksteady Sound that hit the town. Featuring 01.

"Louisiana Red was born in Alabama in March 1932 and died in Hanover almost exactly 80 years later. The early life of Iverson Minter, also known as Louisiana Red, was marked by suffering. His mother died of pneumonia a week after he was born. When he was five years old, his father was executed by the Ku Klux Klan. After that, he lived in orphanages until he was able to spend the rest of his childhood with his grandmother. As a teenager, he was sentenced to hard labor for burglary and subsequently sent by Uncle Sam to the Korean War. Iverson had wanted to become a blues musician ever since he had met Muddy Waters. In the late 1950s, he played in John Lee Hooker's band. In the mid-1970s, he moved to Europe, where he gained recognition among a wider audience through appearances at the WDR Rockpalast and the Montreux Jazz Festival. In the 1980s, Fritz Rau signed Louisiana Red for his successful festival series, the 'American Folk Blues Festival.' In 1983, he released his acclaimed album Anti-Nuclear Blues, whose content and message are more relevant today than ever. The original vinyl edition has since become a sought-after rarity. Now, the album is being rereleased, featuring six bonus tracks from the 1981 'American Folk Blues Festival,' as well as a reissue on vinyl with a fresh sound."

LP version. "In the early 1970s, the band from Hilden and Düsseldorf (Germany) dropped the name Q 66 and has performed as Cobraa ever since. A demo tape by the band caught the attention of talent scouts at the Cologne-based record label EMI Electrola, who subsequently offered them a record deal. The single 'Ride a Pony' was released as early as 1973, and the album Cobraa followed in 1974. The LP received very good reviews in well-known music magazines, and even the teen magazine BRAVO had words of praise. Critics particularly liked the harmonized vocals, the catchy melodies, and the varied arrangements -- not just drums, bass, and guitars, but also flute, harmonica, and strings. The band members, however, were disappointed with their collaboration with the record label and wrote a letter to the head of EMI, complaining about the lack of support and the lackluster cooperation. After a clarifying meeting with top management, it was agreed to release another single, 'Take A Look At Love.' The record company, however, was unwilling to make any further concessions, so it remained at just one LP release. Over 50 years later, this Cobraa album has achieved cult status among progressive rock and Krautrock fans. It is now being re-released on vinyl as well as, for the first time, on CD and digitally, including the 1973 single 'Ride A Pony'/'The End Of The Day.'"

"The German-British progressive rock band Message was formed in the fall of 1968 by bassist Horst Stachelhaus (who later played with Birth Control from 1977 to 1979). In the spring of 1970, British musician Alan Murdoch joined the band. Murdoch brought his friend and fellow countryman, saxophonist Tom McGuigan, into the band. With guitarist and singer Billy Tabbert and drummer Gerhard Schaber, Message eventually became a quintet. Billy Tabbert had previously played in a band with Derek Moore and Ron Howden, who would later become founding members of Nektar. Message debuted in 1970 with the single 'Sunshine Girl' (B-side: 'Bubble Gum'). This was released on Bellaphon. For their second single, 'Smile' (B-side: 'Painted Lady') from 1971, the band switched to the new progressive rock label Bacillus, which was distributed by Bellaphon. Under the direction of producer Peter Hauke (Nine Days Wonder, Pell Mell, Nektar, etc.) and sound engineer Dieter Dierks, the debut album The Dawn Anew Is Comin' was released in 1972. Nektar keyboardist and singer Allan 'Taff' Freeman appeared as a guest musician. Critics and audiences responded enthusiastically to Message's debut album. Yet despite the success, Schaber and Tabbert left the band. In August 1973, Message released their second album From Books and Dreams for Bacillus, once again with Hauke and Dierks at the controls. The band was now a quartet with Günther Klingel on drums. On their second LP, the band celebrated Krautrock-influenced hard rock with progressive and experimental elements. Both albums are being released remastered with bonus material as a double CD in a digisleeve (eco pack)."

LP version. "Berlin, late 1960s: A divided city becomes the epicenter of a musical revolution. Amid the tensions of the Cold War, a group of young sound explorers emerged to redefine the boundaries of rock music. Agitation Free, founded in 1967, was never just a band, but a laboratory for 'movement, unrest, and change' -- the definition of the word 'agitation' that their mentor Folke Hanfeld had found in a dictionary. From the very beginning, Agitation Free served as a hub for the burgeoning 'Berlin School' of electronic music. Their early rehearsals at the Electronic Beat Studio under the direction of Thomas Kessler became a magnet for other legends such as Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel. At the same time, they served as a springboard for exceptional talents like Christopher 'Chris' Franke (Tangerine Dream) or guitarist Axel 'Ax' Genrich (Guru Guru). While Agitation Free's studio albums Malesch (1972) and 2nd (1973) are milestones of the genre, it was on stage that the 'Free' in their name truly came to life. Their concerts were avant-garde experiences that combined liquid light shows and experimental films with hypnotic, drawn-out instrumental improvisations. An example of this is their new live recording Live in Berlin from December 1, 2025, at Berlin's Kesselhaus, featuring the current lineup: founding members Lutz 'Lüül' Graf-Ulbrich and Burghard Rausch, as well as Michael Hoenig, who has retired from live performances but remains the band's 'spiritual leader,' together with Daniel Cordes, Axel Heilhecker, and Tim Sund. As Michael Hoenig once noted, Agitation Free's music is a 'time machine that connects the past and the future.' The magic lives on."

In their third collaboration, the shared project between Merzbow and Pedro Vian shifts towards less confrontational and more introspective terrain. Bardo Thödol, released as an LP, draws on The Tibetan Book of the Dead not so much as an explicit narrative framework but as a conceptual resonance: a passage, a suspension between states. Where Inside Richard Serra Sculptures and The Wheel of Mani foregrounded a relatively defined dialectic between Vian's environmental restraint and Masami Akita's impulsive, textural excess, that friction here appears to dissolve in favor of a more homogeneous mass. Noise, far from its most abrasive edge, is reconfigured as a continuous field -- dense yet permeable. Within this flow, melodic structures emerge without assertion, surfacing almost incidentally as by-products of the accumulation of frequencies itself. The result is less a reconciliation of languages than a blurring of their boundaries: a space in which intensity is internalized and the radical gesture folds into a more sustained, contemplative mode of listening.

"Something Very Bad is Going to Happen is a Netflix horror series produced by the Duffer Brothers, the creative minds behind the global hit Stranger Things. The story follows engaged couple Rachel Harkin (Camila Morrone) and Nicky Cunningham (Adam DiMarco) in the tense week leading up to their wedding, as what should be the happiest time of their lives slowly unravels into a nightmarish descent of psychological terror and creeping dread. The narrative keeps guessing whether the threat they face is human, supernatural, or rooted in the couple's own fears and relationships, with eerie encounters, unsettling family dynamics, and haunting revelations. The series also features standout performances from seasoned actors Jennifer Jason Leigh and Ted Levine as members of the Cunningham family, along with Jeff Wilbusch, Karla Crome, Gus Birney, and Zlatko Buric. The music for the series is composed by Grammy Award-winning musician and composer Colin Stetson, renowned for his idiosyncratic use of saxophone in his projects. He has collaborated with acclaimed artists such as Bon Iver, Arcade Fire, and The National, amongst others. Scoring Something Very Bad is Going to Happen builds on Stetson's extensive experience in film and game music. He has composed soundtracks for films like the psychological horror Hereditary (2018) and the dark thriller The Menu (2022), as well as the epic Rockstar game Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018). For this series, Stetson delivers a suspenseful soundtrack, perfectly complementing the Duffer Brothers' signature storytelling. A must-have release for fans! Something Very Bad is Going to Happen is available as a limited edition on red colored vinyl and includes an insert."

The Mexican band The Survival focused on crafting a blend of blues and acid rock, drawing influence from the U.S. West Coast movement as well as British blues artists like John Mayall and Cream. They have often been described as a mix of Country Joe and the Fish, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Moby Grape, and Ten Years After. The group formed in August 1970 and recorded a single album, La onda de The Survival (1971), which combined laid-back blues with distortion. One distinctive feature was that lead vocals were handled by drummer Andrés Lusher -- an unusual choice that gave the band a unique sonic identity. The album captured the spirit of the time, portraying generational shifts, repression of youth, fraternity, pacifism, and the influence of drugs. The song titles hint at these themes: Side A opens with "Old People" (also known as "gente vieja"), a critique of their parents' generation for failing to understand young people; "The World is a Bomb," built on a repetitive, almost unchanging riff; "What the World Needs is Union"; "Inspiration Blues"; and "Electric Chair." Despite its title, "Ending Blues" kicks off Side B, followed by "Disturbance," where explosions and sirens underscore a call for coexistence among people from different backgrounds. "Cannabis Lady" presents marijuana as a means of expanding the mind and reaching altered states of consciousness, while also acknowledging the fear of addiction. The album closes with "Nothing's Monument" and "Useless Warfare," critiques of materialism and war. When the record was released, the censorship that followed the Avándaro festival had not yet fully taken hold, allowing the band to perform in various cities across Mexico, including the capital. Despite their brief existence, The Survival and their sole album remain a significant testament to the "onda chicana," a historical moment when Mexican youth picked up instruments to voice their reality, survive censorship, and leave a lasting mark on the history of Mexican rock. Includes an insert with liner notes.

The story of The MD's ("Los Médicos") from San Juan, Puerto Rico, is truly unique. They were the first -- and in fact the only -- group in the entire Caribbean influenced by new wave and punk, not only in Puerto Rican music but in the entire region. At a time when Spanish-language rock was overshadowed by salsa and disco, and before MTV existed, they still managed to listen to Devo, Oingo Boingo, Adam Ant, The Police, The Specials, and Madness. It was a rough time in Puerto Rico with many fights between cocolos (fans of salsa music) and rockers. The MD's were formed in 1979 when the band members were still teenagers. They rehearsed three or four days a week in the school cafeteria, as an extracurricular activity project, under the influence of a new English teacher, Richard D'Lima, who had recently spent a considerable amount of time in New York. There, he had the good fortune to experience and immerse himself in the new wave music scene of the late '70s. One of the band members' father -- the band's fixer -- donated some surgeon's scrubs that provided the look and name of the group. Recorded and mixed in just three days in early 1980, Brain Damage was released on their own label, Surgeon Records. Its 10 original songs offer an interesting and fresh mix of punk, proto-hardcore, and new wave influences, raw rhythms, with the prominent and effervescent presence of the minimoog synthesizer and catchy lyrics perfect for singing along. No fillers. It received radio support for over a year and achieved great general acclaim, especially within the burgeoning underground rock scene on the island. The group's members dropped out in '83 to focus on their studies at the University leaving behind this rare gem that is now part of Puerto Rico's rock music history. First time reissue, including an insert with previously unseen photos and notes.

This album is a collaborative project born from the creativity, cooperation, and boldness of three completely different artists who decided to combine their talents to shape this remarkable work. Ignacio Scola is a Spanish record producer who, in the early 1990s, released albums with a number of artists, including well-known names such as Juan Luis Guerra, Willy DeVille, and Manu Dibango. Rita Marley was a Jamaican singer who had been a member of the Soulettes -- something like a Jamaican version of The Supremes -- in the mid-1960s. While still very young, she married Bob Marley and lived through a turbulent relationship, overshadowed by her famous husband. After Bob's death, she decided to resume her artistic career and released several noteworthy reggae albums, which were later rediscovered by Scola and issued in Spain through his record label. He subsequently became her producer and organized several concerts for her, bringing her a certain level of recognition and helping her songs reach major radio playlists. When Scola presented Marley with a song he had composed, "Miracle Baby," dedicated to his newborn son, she agreed to record it immediately. The original recording was completed with arrangements by Spanish cult artist Gregorio Paniagua, and the result was so striking that they decided to record more songs following a similar approach. Scola would show Paniagua the song sketches, and they would later meet in Paniagua's studio to embellish them with instrumental arrangements, as well as contribute their own ideas -- creating a kind of artistic ping-pong completed by Rita Marley's voice, who traveled from Jamaica to Madrid to take part in the recording sessions. The result is an album of sophisticated and experimental pop, in line with other works by Gregorio Paniagua, in which Marley showcases her extraordinary vocal talent, rooted in soul and Jamaican music, built around Scola's concept. Companies such as Luaka Bop and Disney showed strong interest in the album, which was ultimately released in 1995 on Scola's own label, Tabata. Munster presents here, for the first time on vinyl, Spectacles for Tribuffalos -- never before reissued -- along with the remixes by Spanish ambient producer Suso Sáiz, influenced by trip-hop, dub, and more, previously unavailable on vinyl. Includes an insert with liner notes.

Rediscover a defining moment of Scandinavian underground rock with the vinyl reissue of Lea Riders Group's 1968 single "The Forgotten Generation" b/w "Dom Kallar Oss Mods" -- a raw and uncompromising snapshot of youth culture at the edge. Released in connection with the groundbreaking Swedish documentary They Call Us Misfits, the B-side "Dom Kallar Oss Mods" became an enduring cult statement -- a gritty, hypnotic track that channels the disillusionment and attitude of a generation outside the mainstream. This reissue brings both sides of this rare 1968 single back to life -- from the defiant punch of "The Forgotten Generation" to the shadowy, cinematic pull of "Dom Kallar Oss Mods." Reissued for the first time.

Tour-Maubourg returns with a new six-track release, Dreams, further cementing his place as a key figure in today's electronic music scene. Known for blending soulful house with rich jazz influences, the French-Belgian producer showcases both his DJ sensibility and refined production skills on this long-awaited release for French deep house label Noire & Blanche. Nearly four years after Floating on Silence -- his acclaimed EP for the label that quickly became a staple in DJs' sets and underground all-night club sessions -- Dreams follows the same inspired path while raising the bar even higher. Joined by a carefully selected group of collaborators, including American producer Kareem Ali (praised by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and Boiler Room), pop/R&B soul singer Nic Hanson, and Lithuanian producer and musician Cyan Lu, Tour-Maubourg blurs the lines between jazz and house. The result is a deeply musical, immersive album that reinforces a sound signature now unmistakably his own, designed for both intimate listening and late-night dancefloors.

"Black 2LP. Double LP set featuring two live shows recorded in 1971 and 1972 plus the complete 1-10 (with a touch of 11) album, recorded in 1972 and previously only released in short excerpts. As they became The Residents, San Francisco's most treasured sons produced a number of experimental tapes, and even ventured beyond their studio to perform on stage. This set captures both those live shows and a previously-unheard-in-its-entirety studio recording, 1-10 (With A Touch Of 11). Raw and unsophisticated, and deeply experimental with regards the studio material, all three recordings shine a light onto the group's early, intrauterine period, capturing them performing together, and represents an invaluable part of their formative story. Part of the band's ongoing pREServed series, providing an accompaniment to a collection of vinyl reissues of their better known 1970s recordings, Warning: Uninc bears little relation to the rest of recorded music history, a pattern The Residents have continued over the 50 years since these recordings were made."

Ornaments continues its long-standing journey with Carlos Nilmmns, presenting a new mini-LP that effortlessly fuses sophisticated late-night club grooves with raw emotional depth. Across six expertly crafted tracks, Nilmmns delivers a rich sonic spectrum: from smoke-filled jazzy cuts and deep, hypnotic vibes to uplifting, funky piano house designed for the dancefloor. The emotional centerpiece of the record belongs to two breathtakingly deep, vocal-led songs featuring the beautiful, timeless voices of Genoveva, Keter Darker, and the legendary Karl The Voice -- a poignant, soulful tribute that grounds the entire release.

2026 repress. "How to Rescue Things, landing 15 years into Bill Orcutt's 'rediscovery' years, marks a somewhat tardy entry into the string- sweetening sweepstakes. In a post-chart, post-irony world, no one is going to mistake this as a bid for mainstream ears -- nor are too many pop-gobblers going to paste this into their 'Chillax' playlist. With loops of dulcet, birdsong choruses, syrupy strings, and plucked harps clipped from an RCA easy-listening disc, the zombie strings conjure not red leather couches, cotton slankets, and yuzu martinis, but rather a clockwork mortuary, an undead Who-ville and a cigarette butt drowned in bottom-shelf scotch. In contrast to Orcutt's previous reanimation of yesterday's hit parade, How to Rescue Things instead takes as its foundation the oily underbelly of the American songbook, the relentless gears that churn melody into newly consumable and marketable form -- simultaneously ersatz, soothing, and funereal. It's easy to use saccharine, easy-listening settings to deconstruct the romanticism of the past. Yet How to Rescue Things is not an ironic record. True to its title, the transparently corny strings serve not as a meditation on cultural vacuity, but as an attempt to rehabilitate the clichés of the past, 'rescuing' them as improvisational grist for new melodic content. They serve as a harmonic substrate for some of Orcutt's most complex playing, and free him to explore the solo-as-such without the need to imply an underlying tune (unlike Orcutt's previous acoustic explorations of nostalgic song). Orcutt's razor-sharp Fender slices through the satiny settings in angular and unexpected ways, particularly in the final tracks 'Requiem in Dust' and 'The Wild Psalms,' where his double picking swerves into almost Sharrock-ian territory. But ultimately, true to the Parker records that started this whole trope in the first place, Orcutt sticks to a complex yet tonal path throughout, imbuing tracks like 'Not Reconciled' (with its crooned 'Oh my god' and a cheeky 'amen' tacked to the end) with wide-eyed romantic optimism that goes down strange in a deathbed ballad. But ultimately, it's not strange at all. Rather, this palliative track celebrates a necessary, death-defying joy in the face of darkness -- whether genuine or performative is unimportant. And what's more genuinely American than whistling past the graveyard? Just ask Judy Garland." --Tom Carter

Bristol's Sam Binga and Addison Groove have been friends and collaborators since their 2013 BS3 EP, released on Modeselektor's 50 Weapons imprint. This project, the third full-length on Binga's Pineapple Records, is born from an intense 72-hour session at the legendary Devon Analogue Studios, where the pair were able to explore their mutual love of up-tempo machine funk -- whether that be Detroit Jit, Chicago Boxjams or Turbo Electro. Three days of intense creativity across classic drum machines, vintage analogue synths and rare hardware effects resulted in a collection of raw but powerful audio building blocks -- and the pair have been gradually shaping them into what is now a complete project -- the Bags Inc album. Across 12 tracks, Binga and Addison explore that exciting space between 140 and 150 bpm -- but while it's fast, it's not "hard"; as you'd expect from the creators, it's still got that wiggle, and the all-important cheekiness for which they're known. Mastered by Bob Macc at SC Mastering and cut at the Sony plant in Europe, the album has immersive and musical detail to warrant deep listening, while maintaining that essential club energy. Deluxe gatefold double vinyl. Featuring Sirius Soundz.

RELEASE DATE: 7/10/2026
In the spring of 1971, somewhere between Brussels, Paris and a collective pop fever dream, Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki landed on vinyl. It sounded like nothing else then and it still does not today. More than half a century later, Sdban Records presents a reissue of this singular cult album. The album was produced by Jean Kluger and written both by Jean and Daniel Vangarde (aka Bangalter, later the father of Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk), who were already well-ahead of their time, long before electronic music rewrote the rules of pop culture. Released under the name Yamasuki, also referred to as The Yamasuki Singers, or The Yamasuki's, the project was never intended as a conventional band. It was a studio-born fantasy, a concept album disguised as a pop record. What began as a standalone single quickly expanded into a full-blown pan-cultural pop opera that ignored genres and common sense with joyful abandon. Musically, the album sits at a delirious crossroads. Psychedelic pop collides with funk rhythms, samba and bubblegum melodies, full of chants and choruses in a phonetic pseudo-Japanese, written with the help of a dictionary. Kluger and Vangarde famously recruited a children's choir to perform the vocals, and for added spectacle, they brought in a Japanese judo grandmaster, whose ritualistic shouts and battle cries erupt throughout the record. Over the years, Yamasuki has been quietly sampled, covered, and featured across media far beyond the realm of novelty pop. "Kono Samourai" was sampled in "The Healer" by Erykah Badu (2007), produced by Madlib, while "Yama Yama" has found its way into recent pop culture as well: appearing in the television series Fargo, on Angus Stone's project Dope Lemon, and on the 2008 Late Night Tales compilation curated by Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders. This new reissue of Le Monde Fabuleux Des Yamasuki proves the renewed interest and respect for this cult album, faithful to the original spirit while finally giving it back the physical presence it deserves. In an era obsessed with genres and algorithmic neatness, Yamasuki still laughs, dances and karate-kicks its way past definitions.

Pianist Elias Stemeseder and bass player Thomas Morgan debut on Squama with Io Pur Respiro. Recorded live at Sala Vanni in Florence, the album shows a duo at the height of their craft with an unmistakable instinct for melody and balance. Io Pur Respiro ("Yet I breathe") is the title of an early 17th century madrigal by Italian renaissance composer Carlo Gesualdo that's also the harmonic basis for the album's opening track "Madrigal, Variation, Courante." With two standards from the 1930s ("Love Came/I Have The Room Above Her") and two original compositions by Stemeseder there's 400 years of melodic evolution enshrined in this record. Yet, the music sounds neither new, nor old giving the album a profound sense of timelessness that's owed to the eternal force of melody and harmony.

Damian Dalla Torre returns with People Pleaser, a record shaped by movement, collaboration and an ever-deepening relationship with sound as environment. The Leipzig-based multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer first found wide attention with his 2022 debut Happy Floating, and his subsequent album I Can Feel My Dreams was named the #1 Contemporary Album of 2024 by The Guardian, an accolade that broadened his audience and deepened confidence in his evolving voice. That second album, written between Europe and South America, opened unexpected doors and took Dalla Torre to stages across New York, Japan and Italy. "When you release music, it's very intimate," he reflects. "You show your emotions pretty raw. I was kind of scared. But getting so much positive feedback gave me a lot of self-confidence to try out more." People Pleaser begins in that quiet shift of confidence. The title stayed with him for months before he committed to it. "It was a working title for a long time," he says. "I didn't actually think I would use it. But this term also felt somehow relevant in connection with the phase of self-negotiation during the development process. Some aspects are related to pressure, others are positive." The ambiguity felt right. Rather than presenting it as a statement, Dalla Torre leaves it open, an invitation rather than a confession. At the center of People Pleaser is collaboration. Guitarist Bertram Burkert, whose playing stretches from classical delicacy to electric abstraction, joined Dalla Torre in the studio for an intensive three-day session, recording a wide palette of textures that would become the backbone of the album. Vocalist Laura Zöschg, a key live collaborator, harpist Babett Niclas, organist Felix Römer, tape experimentalist Markus Rom, marimba and vibraphonist Volker Heuken and Japanese artist Manami Kakudo also contribute, creating a sound that feels intimate yet expansive.

Tbilisi Records presents the first volume in the series: Giya Kancheli: Music for Stage and Screen. Giya Kancheli (1935-2019) was one of the most acclaimed and beloved Georgian composers of the 20th century. He created celebrated symphonic and chamber works, but also brought depth and beauty to theater and cinema through his original scores. Working in tandem with directors, screenwriters, playwrights, and conductors, Kancheli helped to define multiple eras of Georgia's diverse, multidisciplinary artistic identity. In collaboration with the composer's family, Tbilisi Records has compiled a series of recordings of Kancheli's music composed for film and theater. This first double LP presents some of his earliest creations: music for two theater productions, Khanuma (1968) and The Straw Hat (1966), and one of the composer's earliest soundtracks, music for the film Extraordinary Exhibition (1968). This album includes archival recordings, unreleased tracks, and alternate takes from sessions made available here for the very first time. These collected examples from the composer's early career illustrate his already established style, while serving as a foundation from which to compare his later works and artistic evolution. Giya Kancheli: Music for Stage and Screen also highlights Kancheli's incredible propensity for collaboration, emphasizing his role as a critical figure in the constellation of artists that defined Georgia's creative milieu. The label extends its deepest gratitude to the family of Giya Kancheli, whose trust and kindness made this release possible. Cover painting by Revaz Gabriadze. Design by Sandro Tavartkiladze. Liner notes by Ben Wheeler, with materials adapted from Natalia Zeifas' book Pesnopenie (1991). Photographs from the private family archives.

The first 20 seconds of "Orgullo" (1974) hit with a powerful sonic punch built on ferocious fuzzed-out guitars, distorted keyboards, and thunderous drums that could easily belong in the discography of Led Zeppelin, The Guess Who, or Cream -- until, suddenly, Las Grecas start to sing and Flamenco rock is born. A few years earlier, in 1969, the brilliant Argentine producer and arranger Adolfo Waitzman had already transformed a harmless light pop tune recorded by a yeyé girl, Encarnita Polo, into a soul-pop hit driven by an irresistible syncopated groove and killer bass lines.

After the success of Made in the Emirates: Volume 1, which documented a wide spectrum of the UAE's independent music scene, the series returns with its second instalment. Made in the Emirates: Volume 2 shifts focus to the country's electronic underground, bringing together eight original tracks spanning deep house, breaks, techno, and experimental club sounds -- a snapshot of a thriving scene shaped by artists working on their own terms. The compilation brings together a cross-section of artists defining this landscape today: Tarik Omar opens the record with "Sample Sunday," reflecting a deep-rooted approach to rhythm and sampling. Adam Rahman's "K Lock," is a tightly wound club tool driven by percussive precision. Sons Of Rhythm revisit their catalogue through a Rhythm Plate Italo 90 Remix, bridging classic house influences with a forward-facing Italo touch. Megadon Betamax, co-founder of Voyeurhythm Records, contributes "Maha Monastery," an atmospheric, funk-infused cut leaning into experimental yet groove-led electronics. Curator Shadi Megallaa adds "Word Jazz," reflecting his long-standing role in shaping Dubai's underground through Ark to Ashes and The Flip Side. OHFFF, a project rooted in spontaneity and sonic exploration, presents "Dwelling," balancing mood with club sensibility. Tacit's The "Lakritze Suite" moves between abstraction and industrial structure through a multi-layered, hard-edged composition. Closing the record, Nasrawi's "Intention Dub" channels deep, dub-driven textures, grounding the compilation in a reflective, low-end finale. Curated and compiled by Shadi Megallaa. Artwork by Rami Afifi. Mastered by Manmade Mastering (Germany). Gatefold 2LP, 45 RPM.

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

"The Miller Brothers, Roger (Mission of Burma, etc. etc. etc.), Laurence (Destroy All Monsters, etc. etc. etc.) and Benjamin (Destroy All Monsters, etc. etc. etc.) grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan in a musical family. When the Beatles hit in 1964 Roger was 12 and Laurence and Benjamin were 10, all three ready to rock. Their first band, which covered 13th Floor Elevators, Love, Kinks, Yardbirds, performed two shows summer 1967. In 1969, their spontaneous improv. session Freak Trio Electric sealed the fate towards Sproton Layer. With a complete belief in weed as the doorway to an alternate universe, Roger began a furious bout of composing that spring. There was a lull in the summer, but in the fall, with the addition of Harold Kirchen (brother of Bill Kirchen, Commander Cody) on trumpet, they were off and running again. A few recordings were made in 1969 with one mic on the ping-pong table, and Mark Brahce, set up his first session with the band. The best of these recordings make up the '1969' side of Press Your Hand and the Whole Room Fluctuates. At the end of August 1970, Mark Brahce recorded their album With Magnetic Fields Disrupted in the Miller family recreation room, and the band promptly folded when they got no notice or response. Their brand of psychedelia was on the wane. They reformed briefly in 1971 as an instrumental trio but played only two shows before disbanding in that incarnation. They reformed for a series of five shows in 2013 with Steve Smith on trumpet. The '1969' side of Press Your Hand and the Whole Room Fluctuates consists of songs that didn't make it onto With Magnetic Fields Disrupted, and the '1971' side are all spontaneous Free Rock/Space Jams, with their very unique take on this matter. After Sproton Layer folded, all brothers kept extremely active and continue creating music to this very day. In chronological order, after the demise of Sproton Layer: The Fourth World Quartet, Empool, Destroy All Monsters, Mission of Burma, Nonfiction, Birdsongs of the Mesozoic, GKW, M3, Larynx Zillion's Novelty Shop, No Man, Mister Laurence and his Play Money Band, The Alloy/Anvil Orchestra, Solo Multiphonic Guitar, Binary System, The Mister Laurence Experience, Third Border, M2, Transistor, Trinary System, The Sensorium Saxophone Ensemble, Exploded View, Porcelain Hammer, The Sensorium Chamber Ensemble, Tinn Parrow, and his Clapfold Platune, Solo Electric Guitar Ensemble, and many many more."

In late September and early October 1969, John Tchicai toured throughout Denmark with a special quintet. The international band was a notable one, bringing together musicians from Denmark and Holland whose conceptual differences were as important as the musical values they held in common. Tchicai and two of his closest Danish collaborators -- trumpeter Hugh Steinmetz and guitarist Pierre Dørge -- embraced an international perspective that incorporated far flung influences from African music, contemporary classical, and jazz into a cool, yet playful and joyous, modernity. In this quintet they worked with two pillars of the Dutch Instant Composer's Pool, pianist Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink. Ironic and subversive, they displayed a willingness, you might even say an eagerness, to disrupt accepted conventions of any kind. The music on this LP, recorded on October 9, 1969, at Danish Radio Studio 11 in Copenhagen, consists of compositions they'd played on the recently concluded tour plus a group improvisation. Of course, Tchicai's international collaborations extended beyond neighboring Holland. He was a most cosmopolitan musician, performing and recording with musicians in the U.S., Asia, Africa, and Europe. Perhaps surprisingly, one of his most sympathetic European partners was German bassist Peter Kowald. Tchicai did share some musical affinities with the German improvising scene. As Kowald and his compatriots, such as Peter Brötzmann and Alexander von Schlippenbach, took inspiration from the cathartic energy and the collective improvisation of free jazz, especially Albert Ayler. His appearance on John Coltrane's Ascension, would have also earned him respect among the hard-blowing Germans. Tchicai and Kowald mutual openness to the sounds of other cultures and free improvisation made them quite compatible, so it's something of a shock that this is the only documentation of their work together. The two improvisors found themselves in Japan in 1983, when they recorded the astonishing duet contained on the second side of this LP. Their improvisation in Kyoto is an amazingly resourceful conversation a kind of improvisation which remains far from "world music," and with new textures expanding their musical vocabularies and allowing them to develop new ideas; qualities that allowed Tchicai to flourish in so many different settings. Includes an insert with beautiful photos from the John Tchicai Quintet sessions with portraits of Tchicai, Bennink, Mengelberg, Steinmetz and Dørge as well as liner notes by Ed Hazell.

To the best of anyone's knowledge this performance by John Tchicai and Cadentia Nova Danica was the first ever jazz- or improvisation-type concert held at London's hallowed recital room Wigmore Hall. 1968 was a year of Denmark's extensive cultural program in Britain, which included a poorly attended CND concert, not recorded, on 2nd October at Manchester's Free Trade Hall. That this was to be the sole concert by Tchicai -- of New York Contemporary Five, New York Art Quartet, Coltrane's Ascension fame -- was stupefyingly ridiculous so Anthony Barnett set about trying to organize a London concert. He traipsed the capital in search of an available venue without luck until, with no thought of a positive outcome, he entered Wigmore Hall. To his astonishment, with few questions asked, they said yes. Following that, there was the matter of work permits. Barnett visited the relevant office and they too said yes, probably because of the involvement of The Royal Danish Embassy and the Danish Cultural Ministry with the Manchester concert. Danmarks Radio asked the BBC to record the concert on its behalf. The arrangement was that Barnett would receive a small fee and a complete set of the tapes. Afterwards, it turned out that the BBC had edited the tapes down to what it sent to Danmarks Radio, as broadcast and now heard here for the first time since. Sadly, and quite true to form, the BBC had wiped the rest. And it was a struggle for Anthony Barnett to get back the tape that did remain. Possibly it shows how difficult things can be when one acts independently. Featuring Cadentia Nova Danica at the absolute peak of their powers; furious, rich and dense, moving between freeform improvisation and African touchstones before erupting into incandescent free improvisation. Includes an insert with the reproduction of both Wigmore Hall and Manchester's Free Trade Hall original press releases. Liner notes by Anthony Barnett.

Salva unfolds as a slow-moving sonic passage, suspended between stillness and transformation. Rooted in a deeply personal lineage, the album reimagines a long-standing family wound through the lens of myth, with the intention of altering its direction. Rather than recounting events, DIMA constructs a parallel narrative, one where sound becomes a means of reconfiguring what was once haunted. Emerging from an intuitive and studio-centered process, Salva is shaped through experimentation, co-creation, and temporal patience. Working primarily with the computer as her main instrument, DIMA assembles fragments of sound, plugins, sampled material, improvised gestures, and stems drawn from cinematic sources into a porous and evolving sonic architecture. Composition here is accumulative, guided by sensation. Within this framework, certain tracks introduce restrained pop sensibilities, glimpses of melody, song structure, and tonal clarity that surface briefly before dissolving back into the broader sonic language. Throughout the album, repetition and silence operate as narrative forces. Harmonics brush against dissonance, while space is treated as an active terrain. Many passages feel suspended, as if perpetually en route, evoking the sensation of being "on the way" without arrival. Movement unfolds in depth, inviting the listener to linger inside transitions, thresholds, and in-between states. Myth functions as both framework and catalyst. Drawing from ancient Western mythologies and archetypal figures, Salva doesn't illustrate these stories directly, it absorbs their symbolic charge, using them to shift perception and reclaim intuition as a valid form of knowledge. In doing so, DIMA treats sound as a narrative medium capable of holding emotional inheritance, ancestral echoes, and unresolved forces without fixing them into definitive meaning. The album moves fluidly between moments of tension and fragile openness. Granular textures dissolve into near-melodies, while distorted samples and subtle electronic interventions suggest the presence of something unstable. What emerges is a quiet reorientation, a sonic space where listening itself becomes an act of repair. Salva is a passage. A listening experience that invites the audience to inhabit uncertainty, to stay with sensation, and to consider how sound can hold stories that language alone can´t resolve.

Diastima, released by 901 Editions, finds Luigi Turra working at the point where notation, sound and perception almost fall apart from delicacy. The project begins with a series of essential, open graphic scores by French composer Sylvain Chauveau: sheets of subtle marks that refuse to explain themselves. These drawings do not describe in any conventional sense; they suggest, orient and gently mislead. They abandon the security of notation as instruction and move into a more fragile, poetic register, where the musical gesture is only ever evoked, never pinned down. Turra's response is to treat each score as a field of possibilities rather than a plan to be executed. Within this space of indeterminacy, sound does not "realize" the notation so much as traverse it, brushing against its edges and dwelling in its gaps. Using a reduced electroacoustic language -- isolated tones, close mic'd textures, filtered noise, tiny percussive events -- he brings every element to the threshold of its own possibility. A single sound might be stretched until it frays; a faint rustle might be amplified until it becomes a landscape. Internal tensions in the drawings are translated into dynamics of proximity and distance, presence and withdrawal. The scores become devices that activate listening and response, not blueprints to be followed. Across the album, Turra continues the trajectory that has marked his work for years: a commitment to precision, subtraction and a pared back elegance. Diastima defines a space in which music and listening effectively coincide; what you hear is as much the act of attention as it is any "composition" in the traditional sense. The title -- Diastima as interval, distance, suspension -- is central. These pieces inhabit the space between two presences: between mark and sound, intention and reception, event and memory. Rather than building through accumulation, the music proceeds by articulating voids, waits and minimal signs. It is in those intermediate spaces that the work takes shape, asking the listener to lean into the almost nothing where, unexpectedly, a great deal is happening.

Recorded in June 1978 during a sweltering Paris summer, Ose's Adonia captures a rare alignment of intellect, imagination and emerging technology. At just 26, Hervé Picart was living three parallel lives: scholar of rhetoric and ancient languages, journalist for the French music press (notably Best), and guitarist /bassist in progressive garage bands. Drawn increasingly away from British prog toward keyboards and synthesizers, he began envisioning a more spatial music situated somewhere between Pink Floyd, Tangerine Dream, and Kraftwerk. That triangulation would define Adonia. Ose itself was conceived as a variable-geometry project devoted to concept albums, with narrative and composition as guiding forces. Picart imagined a platform that could accommodate shifting collaborators and literary or interplanetary themes. For Adonia, the collaboration formed close to home. Through his journalism he had befriended Richard Pinhas of Heldon, a fellow academic and near neighbor in Paris' Latin Quarter. Their shared philosophical and musical affinities created a natural bond. Picart invited Pinhas not simply as a guest but as a key creative partner, overseeing electronic arrangements and contributing guitar and synthesizer work. Heldon drummer François Auger completed the trio, valued for his remarkable ability to play tightly against sequencers without losing fluidity. Arriving with detailed demo tapes, Picart had mapped much of the material in advance, yet the studio remained a site of invention. Sessions took place at night in Barclay's large studio on Avenue Hoche, by day home to a grand orchestra, prompting moments of astonishment when classical musicians encountered the trio's imposing array of synthesizers, including the Moog 55 modular system. Recorded in a week and mixed in three days: a focused, pre-digital intensity emblematic of the era. Conceptually, Adonia fuses ancient myth and speculative fiction. Over time, the album attained cult status, its sonic freshness undimmed. Standing at the crossroads of Berlin School electronics, progressive rock and early synth-pop, Adonia refracts these currents through a distinctly French sensibility and Pinhas' singular presence. Nearly half a century on, its fusion of myth and modernity remains vivid, a testament to a fertile moment whose echoes continue to resonate.

Clear vinyl version. The second album by Christian Burchard and alumni was released in 1971 on the prestigious United Artists imprint, only a year after their debut. A significantly progression and the first venture in the realm of the ethnic/world-rock fusion that would come to be their trademark. The gang from Munich flew over a series of packed jam showing their authentic passion for the Middle East. Combining a series of progressive numbers, still miles away from their British counterpart, the band opened up for a series of transcendental and wicked numbers, pushing the boundaries of the '70s counterculture. While it was some eastern-blues rapture or a post-Coltrane collage in the vein of the classy melody of A Love Supreme, the band built his foundation while facing an ancient future. That was the beginning of a whole era where freedom was the keyword.

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

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

John Paul Bohon's Terlingua is teeming with electronic life, a record that quite literally synthesizes the veteran musician and engineer's tactile approach to sound and has resulted in a mind-expanding work possessing impossible warmth. Terlingua is equally reminiscent of the languid, electronics-focused psych of legendary forebears like Cluster and Can alongside the ecstatic sprawl of contemporaries like Bitchin Bajas and Kaitlin Aurelia Smith. Bohon constructs entire worlds on these seven tracks, dense with jagged terrain that provides a thrilling journey for listeners. Utilizing an array of vintage synths and electronic instruments, Bohon made extensive use of reel-to-reel tape manipulation across Terlingua. The process added layers of warm texture that ripple through moments like the planetary ecstasy of the album's bookending "Alice" suites, which resemble the sharp ambient drone of Kompakt founder Wolfgang Voigt. Terlingua is Bohon stretching his legs and considerable analog know-how to craft a work that heads towards total aural bliss, making for another exciting entry in an increasingly fascinating catalog.

These three previously unreleased tracks reflect the cultural influences of a very young Riccardo Sinigaglia. In particular, the Anti-psychiatry movement founded by Ronald David Laing, author of the influential books The Politics of Experience and The Bird of Paradise. As well as Jung's theory of archetypes, a subject explored in depth in the writings of Elémire Zolla. The compositional processes of concrete music are fundamental, while the extensive use of fragments from other cultures reflects a sensitivity matured through his travels in Africa and Asia. The mixture of aquatic and liquid sounds manifests a new state of mind: bird songs, hidden streams, marsh plants, invisible drains, light waves, African, Tibetan, and Indonesian echoes. Everything is skillfully collected using various recording methods (4 tracks Teac 3340, Akai S612) and then assembled on tape with reverbs, equalizers, and the electronic moods of the Revox. Music conceived in different times and situations, but with a similar mood, that of the waters of Lake Orta as a perennial source of peace and inspiration.

Cucoma Combo are back with their impetuous and political sound, an urgent need to communicate in order to awaken consciences and react to the sick immobility of the times. Captain Marco Zanotti (Classica Orchestra Afrobeat/Lolo) once again gathers his pirate crew and sets sail for new Atlantic and Caribbean adventures. From Cape Verde to Salvador de Bahia, from Haiti to Colombia, then back to Tanzania and Zimbabwe. An inspired and furious attitude incorporates disparate rhythms, languages, and styles in an original way, with even more daring and inspired arrangements and lyrics. A freedom of navigation between coladeira and maracatu, currulao and more atmospheric and evocative tropical safaris. There is no shortage of heartfelt tributes to Tony Allen's Afrobeat, the chimurenga of the legendary Thomas Mapfumo, the Afro-dub of Nigerian Obongjayar, or the more eccentric influences of Meridian Brothers.

Lero Lero is a collective of artists gathered around a shared core: the Sicilian Sound Archive of the twentieth century. The melodies it preserves, remnants of a magical world now almost entirely lost, are revived with a critical spirit and a contemporary sensibility. It is an act of reclaiming, reworking, and giving back to the community a heritage that has long remained suspended in time. In the voices of farmers, shepherds, and washerwomen, in songs of indignation and in lullabies, one can glimpse a kind of submerged Atlantis, rich with forgotten treasures. These sounds draw the listener towards fundamental questions in an increasingly plasticized artificial world. Lero Lero's sound is both archaic and visionary, infused by Mediterranean electronic textures and microtonal melismas, echoing the hypnotic tones of bagpipes and marranzani, the laments of cart drivers, and the cries of salt workers. A sound that, starting from its most ancestral elements, seeks to rethink the legacy of oral tradition through a consciously anti-folkloristic approach. The album's artwork, created by Giulia Parlato, features a suspended image disrupted by the figure of the crocodile from Palermo's Vucciria district, a submerged presence that resurfaces to unsettle the composition, mirroring the very nature of the project. Co-produced with Shhh/Peaceful and Panta.

Hill Collective strike out with Fire In Orbit, their first release for Batov Records and the Brighton ensemble's most focused and expansive studio statement to date. Rooted in spiritual jazz but unafraid of the natural looseness, humor and raw edges that arise when imaginative musicians collaborate, Fire In Orbit captures a band working collectively, instinctively and with space to breathe. Hill Collective have become a central presence within Brighton's small but fertile jazz-adjacent scene. They have appeared at Love Supreme Festival and The Great Escape, supported Etuk Ubong, and built a reputation for live performances that balance structure with volatility. Their 2024 studio album Tonal Prophecy, released via Germany's Fin Du Monde, introduced them to the wider jazz press, earning praise as "a soulful, avant-garde addition to the bustling UK jazz landscape" (UK Vibe), while Jazz Journal noted that "the spirit of Ra is close." If that record marked their arrival, Fire In Orbit feels like consolidation rather than expansion, leaner in sound, clearer in intent and more assured in delivery. Led by alto saxophonist and composer Pete Piskov, Hill Collective emerged after his previous trio dissolved, featuring founding members of the Ancient Infinity Orchestra, moved to Leeds. Drawing on Brighton's close-knit network, the group expanded into a flexible, often double-digit ensemble, at times doubling up on instrumentation, its spiritually inclined ethos linking the South Coast to a broader UK conversation. Fire In Orbit was recorded over three relaxed days at Sea Breeze Studios by members of the band themselves. The influence of Sun Ra runs deeper than aesthetic reference, philosophical as much as musical. There are also traces of Ornette Coleman's freedom, the structural fire of Charles Mingus, the angular lyricism of Eric Dolphy and the collective consciousness of Art Ensemble of Chicago. Elements of Latin rhythm, Arabic modality and open-ended improvisation surface naturally, absorbed rather than quoted. Brighton's receptive atmosphere and sense of creative space are audible throughout. Many of the musicians were friends before the band formed; others became family through it. That ease translates into music that feels communal rather than performative. At its core, Fire In Orbit is an allegory for creative community, bodies in motion, held by invisible forces, generating warmth and illumination together. Structured yet searching, raw but intentional, it captures Hill Collective at a point where freedom and form feel fully aligned.

Officially licensed from Irwin Chusid of the Sun Ra estate, Cold Spring negotiated rare and unreleased tracks from the Sun Ra archive to be remixed and treated by Masami Akita (Merzbow). The tracks incorporate the jazz power of Sun Ra, carried into brutal excess by the legendary Japanese noise artist, Merzbow. Originally released by Cold Spring a decade ago and long sold out, the music was spread across vinyl and CD, with completely different music on each format. The tracks are now collected together here for the first time, from the original masters and presented in the order originally intended (the vinyl format dictated the order due to optimal sound quality restraints). Also included (for the first time on any release) is the bonus two minute track "Granular Jazz Part 5," a special composition created for the Stuart Maconie's "Freak Zone" (BBC Radio 6), which was only broadcast once, ahead of Merzbow's show at Manchester's legendary FAC251, September 2016. Presented on 2CD with expanded artwork in a eight-panel double digipak. Comes with an eight-page booklet featuring a new essay by Gydja.

Legendary Japanese experimentalist Keiji Haino (Fushitsusha) and London's fearless drummer Steve Noble took to the stage at Cafe OTO in 2012 for a monumental concert -- with Haino's extreme treatments of electric guitar, and feedback, with Noble on a lot of percussion. While Keiji Haino theatrically sweeps between bleak and uninhibited paranoia, deep-level zoning and bluesy contemplation, Steve Noble's huge set up and graceful approach brings space, light and shade -- so much so that at one point Haino unplugs his guitar and picks up a small wooden flute. Dynamic, dramatic and surprisingly uplifting. From Londonears: "The sounds came across as random explosions, with passages of near-silence abruptly giving way to percussive clatters and sustained guitar roars. Then suddenly, they leaped into full chaotic freak-out mode, with Noble sending his small gongs and bowls flying as he pummeled the skins, unleashing a veritable thunderstorm of raucous sound. Meanwhile, Haino switched on the fuzz and feedback, his guitar screaming like a beast possessed, with molten solo after molten solo cascading out of the amps. Just as quickly, they'd revert back to contemplative mode, Haino twisting and twitching his strings with the delicate touch of a brain surgeon. The interplay between the two was bewitching." CD in matt digipak, with concert photographs by Andy Newcombe.

Superstar Franco Nero is Mike Di Donato, an Italian-American with a mysterious past dominated by a terrible event from which he is probably fleeing, leads the life of a good savage on a deserted island with his own version of Friday, played by Marta Miller, the gorgeous Argentinian actress with a prolific career in genre cinema. There are obviously many differences between this and Defoe's Crusoe, as this is a contemporary story that merely takes some aesthetic inspiration from the aforementioned novel, mainly the isolation from civilization and immersion in nature. The soundtrack was composed by Guido & Maurizio De Angelis during a deeply influential period in music history, as 1979 was the moment in which the disco music phenomenon was spreading like wildfire across the world, infusing every creative endeavor with its powerful energy, and the brothers Maestro were no exception. The main titles burst from the speakers with great skill, creating a musical transition from a quiet seaside scene into Mike's dynamic fight with a shark. Pulsating grooves, nervous guitars, derailing brasses, breaks artfully edited into sync, and the general musical tension creates a magnet for the spectator, glued onto the screen with both eyes and ears. Two other musical themes in the score lend a hand, one for lighter, more comedic situations and everyday life, and a series of tense electronic cues accentuated by a few live instruments.

This album is part of two ESP-Disk' initiatives. The one that came first is the idea of teaming up artists who haven't worked together before. In this case, longtime collaborators Ullmann and Swell play with a rhythm section new to Ullmann: Morris and Downs. And, this is another ESP release featuring Charles Downs. The senior member of the trio, he is also known to jazz aficionados as Rashid Bakr, the name he used while drumming in various Cecil Taylor groups, Ensemble Muntu, and Other Dimensions in Music, to name a few. Around the time this album was recorded, ESP also teamed him with violist Melanie Dyer and pianist Megumi Yonezawa. Joe Morris, guitarist and bassist, studied with ESP-Disk' legend Lowell Davidson. Morris formed his first trio in 1977 and began his recording career in 1983, with well over 50 albums as a leader and many more as a collaborator, including albums on ESP-Disk' under his own name and with Flow Trio, Fay Victor's SoundNoiseFUNK, and a guitar duo with Elliott Sharp. The pre-eminent avant-jazz trombonist, Steve Swell has been an active member of the NYC music community since 1975. He has toured and recorded with diverse jazz personalities from Lionel Hampton and Buddy Rich to Anthony Braxton and Cecil Taylor. This is his first appearance on ESP. Gebhard Ullmann is a composer and woodwind virtuoso based in Berlin, Germany. He has released more than 70 CDs as a leader or co-leader and is considered one of Europe's finest improvising musicians, as well as a heavyweight composer of chamber and orchestra music. All music recorded live in the studio and instant-composed by the musicians on June 13, 2024 at Park West Studios, Brooklyn, NY.
"Few improvising artists can boast the stream of creative ideas that seem to bubble from Gebhard Ullmann. Ullmann focuses on the fundamentals of improvised jazz: melody, sound, syncopation and technical excellence, but what makes his writing and playing so successful is his seemingly never-ending innovative nature: without grasping for neoteric straws, Ullmann's performances are grounded in the past but plunge forward deliberately toward modernity. Ullmann leaves the strong mark of a disciplined sculptor of sound, who speaks his own compelling language." --Steve Loewy, Cadence

"Glorious vinylization of this 2022duo session, originally issued as a cassette, documenting the first time Suzuki and Noyes ever collaborated. Ayami Suzuki has become known to cognoscenti for her brilliantly imagined vocal improvisations, through recordings with like-minded folks such as French vocalist/polymath Delphine Dora and avant hurdy gurdy player, TOMO. Rob Noyes has developed a parallel reputation as a master third-generation acoustic guitarist in the post-Takoma tradition. Originally based in the U.S. he wisely relocated to Tokyo several years ago. Which is where this meeting took place, and while I initially assumed the music had been composed to some degree. Rob assured me that was not true. He says, 'I think the recording can seem like something we took a lot of time with and discussed/composed to some degree, but we actually just agreed to meet at a rehearsal studio. It took a little more than an hour to track it all, without ever having played together before or even really discussing the approach we were going to take. I just tuned my guitar to a different tuning for each one and we let it roll.' The results kinda speak for themselves, but I was blown away by the notion they had never collaborated previously. The intimate nature of their blend recalls such long-time collusionists as Tim Buckley & Lee Underwood or Loren Connors & Suzanne Langille. Rob's delicate instrumental arcs create a perfect net for Ayami's vocals, which are usually wordless (although they always feel weighted with emotional content). It's a mesmeric pairing of voices. Which I can only hope is the first of many. Classic Fevers and Chills is a perfect soundtrack for spring, unconditionally magical." --Byron Coley, 2026

Co-released with Glitterbeat Records. Alison Cotton's fifth solo album is a mesmerizing weave of haunted atmospherics and avant-folk songcraft. Built around her viola, harmonium, and transportive vocals, the album moves between stark drone passages and more layered arrangements with piano, percussion, and synths. The Gods Laugh is a work of quiet, sublime intensity, cementing Cotton's unique space in the contemporary English music scene -- a space where richly textured sonics meet tradition, and deeply personal compositions evoke the experimental spirit of artists like Nico, John Cale, and Dorothy Carter. The Gods Laugh is a powerful restatement of all the things that make her music so transporting and immersive, but with a deeper emotional resonance resulting from a period of personal loss and upheaval. Alison has been recording for almost 30 years -- in bands like Saloon, The Eighteenth Day of May, and The Left Outsides -- and her solo career, which started with a cassette release a decade ago, came about almost by accident. But in the ensuing years, Alison has developed a singular and affecting style according to parameters she set herself. For The Gods Laugh, Alison played viola, harmonium, piano, hammer dulcimer, treble recorder, melodica, bowed cymbal and percussion, while her partner/producer Mark Nicholas played drums, bass and synths (their first use on a Cotton album). As usual, the songs are mostly improvised and recorded in one take, layering instruments over a drone base. The exception is "The Night it Darkens All Around Me," which was semi-improvised and with lyrics captured in an almost stream of consciousness style. The album also includes more piano, notably on "Sprigs of Heather," an epistolary continuation of a tale begun on earlier releases. Alison's father passed away in 2024 and as well as gifting her the album's title and having encouraged her to take up the viola in the first place, his presence is felt throughout the album. The brief, melancholy tune "The Final Harvest" is about Alison's dad's final visit to his beloved allotment. The only song written before this period of loss was Alison's setting of Victorian rural poet John Clare's I Am! Alison had been playing this live for some time but felt it "moulded perfectly with the feel of the rest of the album." Cotton occupies a unique place in the current English music scene, the way that often quite experimental drones of her work meshes with the more traditional elements seeing her included with artists like Nico, John Cale and Dorothy Carter. After remarkable releases like The Portrait You Painted of Me (FTR 658LP) and Engelchen (FTR 765LP), The Gods Laugh feels like the fulfilment of incredible promise.
"Cotton may expand folk's raw emotions into more avant garde territories, but they still feel possessed by a blood-red muscle memory that goes back centuries." - The Quietus

115 pages. Hardcover. Each book contains a QR code for a direct album download and stream. The third release in Greyfade's FOLIO format -- a full-length music edition in hardcover book form -- is Josh Mason's Kicking A Dark Horse. For his Greyfade debut, musician and sound artist Josh Mason presents an ambitious multi-modal work articulated across sound and text: a nine-track electronic album alongside a book-length work of experimental writing. Across both forms, Kicking A Dark Horse is governed by controlled instability -- chaotic structures that cohere without repetition and evolve without resolution. The text unfolds in fragments -- part diary, part landscape study, part fever dream -- extending the disjunctive, textural logic of the music into literary terrain rarely inhabited by a music edition.

Mikolaj Trzaska (saxophone, bass clarinet), John Edwards (double bass) and Mark Sanders (drums) approach music not as improvisation but as "live composition" -- an evolving process shaped equally by performers, space and audience. Balancing explosive intensity with lyrical subtlety, the trio creates a deeply immersive dialogue beyond technical display-music as storytelling, risk and discovery. A powerful document of creative freedom and real-time interaction.

With Nagle Przejasnienia, Tuleje present their third album-and a clear artistic shift. Drawing on folk traditions from eastern Greater Poland, the trio creates a distinctive sound that blends folk with jazz, blues and free improvisation. A key change is the prominent use of bass guitar, replacing the double bass as the sonic foundation and giving the music a raw, urban edge. The songs unfold as detached urban observations -- fragmented stories set in stairwells, metro stations and night buses, forming a vivid sonic map of contemporary city life. Featuring Maurycy Wojcinski.

Black LP limited to 300 copies. After decades as a cult footnote of the 1980s neo-psychedelic revival, the United States of Existence return with Lavender Glory Trip -- their first new album since their early recordings. Once separated by geography, careers, and time, the band's unlikely reunion was sparked by a rediscovered unfinished song from drummer Gary Schwartz. What began as a solo project evolved into a full-band collaboration, made possible by modern recording technology and renewed creative chemistry. Lavender Glory Trip blends classic elements like Mellotron, sitar, and fuzz guitar/bass with expansive homemade production. Drawing partly from archival fragments and partly from new material, the album embraces experimentation, spontaneity, and even surrealist techniques. Its title and artwork reflect a collage-like approach, merging contrasting moods and themes, including commentary on conflict and human cycles, resulting in an album that honors their psychedelic roots (Electric Prunes, Blues Magoos, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Association) while pushing into new sonic territory (sunshine/baroque/harmony pop). Includes insert with liner notes by Richard Allen and download card.

Formed by a group of Salem junior high school friends in the wake of the British Invasion, The Sound Barrier evolved from earlier incarnations known as The Spectrums and The Zounds. Led by guitarist Paul Hess and drummer Larry Davis, the band cut the driving garage classic "Hey Hey" alongside the infectious "(My) Baby's Gone," released on their own Zounds label in 1967. Both tracks were recorded at their friend Mark Scheuring's makeshift studio with whom the Sound Barrier guys ended up forming heavy psych band Noah in the early '70s.

Released in celebration of Y-3's 10th anniversary in 2013, this compilation included Joe Claussell's masterpiece of psychedelic deep house, which is finally being issued on 12-inch vinyl. Joe Claussell's "Storm," still played today by DJs such as Dixon, remains one of his most distinctive works. Among his productions, it can be regarded as his finest achievement -- his most trippy and psychedelic track, with exceptional impact on the dance floor. The new-wave project remix by his longtime Ally Kuniyuki preserves the atmosphere of the original while adding organic sounds such as marimba, drawing the track into deeper territory and resulting in a spiritual deep house reinterpretation. The artwork was created by Yoshirotten, one of Japan's leading artists.

Alga Marghen presents the historical Intervalli by Giuseppe Chiari, a world premiere of the compete cycle of 12 Intervalli. Elegantly performed and recorded by Reinier Van Houdt, this timeless composition from 1950-56 anticipates Minimalist by a decade as well as Concetual and Sytems-Based-Composition while intersecting the perspectives that would soon be developed by Fluxus, the group Chiari would join in 1962. Giuseppe Chiari's Intervalli for piano still retain the charm of a discovery, even when considered in the context of their historical perspective. Composed within a time frame that extends throughout the entire first half of the 1950s, they are striking for the precocity of their compositional conception based on a radical reduction of musical parameters on mathematical and rational grounds. One might also be surprised to discover that Chiari's early compositions follow such a rigorous logical approach in the organization of musical material, particularly in light of the subsequent direction his work took, which established him, within the Neo-Avant-Garde, as the most resolute and determined exponent of gestural music -- a genre thus free from any dogma or structural constraints. In Intervalli Chiari focuses on the idea of a rational "arrangement" of the sequence of sounds and/or their simultaneity through a more or less controlled system of repetitions of variants or invariants, defined by their interval features and duration. The systematic processes of limiting and repeating musical parameters are elements that, by analogy, later came to the fore with the birth of musical minimalism. It would, however, be a stretch to regard Chiari's Intervalli as a driving force that will have a direct impact on the emergence and establishment of this current. Whilst minimal music employs the systematic reduction of parameters and their repetition to guide unidirectional development as a gradual process, Chiari's Intervalli move towards an opposing concept that "explores the relationships between sounds without any temporal hierarchy" in order to achieve "music that strips succession of its discursive power." A clear indication of an objective, almost atomistic conception of sound, aimed at deconstructing its syntactic homologation. Hence its conceptual relevance, which cannot be equated with the canonical currents of minimalism: a nuance that would subsequently predispose Chiari to an informal openness towards the performative gesture. The Intervalli cycle thus marked Chiari's first point of arrival, but also a point of no return -- save for the final decade of his creative career, when a still surprising new recourse to musical writing was mediated precisely by a gestural instinctiveness. This first edition of complete Intervalli also includes liner notes by Gabriele Bonomo as well as the reproduction of some of the pages from the original score.

Tajemnica is a transgression -- too gentle for dancing, too euphoric for standing still. Sparse, scarce, and subtle, the new album by Polish performance artist, musician, and poet Wojciech Kosma, aka spalarnia, eagerly explores modern dance genres, experimental production, and nostalgic electronics to surrender to what is truest -- essential song forms, melodies, harmonic and rhythmic basics, the most resonant feelings. Sung in spalarnia's trademark soft, low, almost tactile voice, the eight hypnotic songs tell stories of closeness and love, and their favored companions -- pain and heartbreak. In "Bliżej" he sings "I love not loving you/I want to be a part of you." And in "Jedyna" he states: "You are the only one/there is no other me/only the one for whom you are the only one." Contrary to the meaning of its Polish title ("Tajemnica" translates to "secret"), the album that moves between ghostly ambient pop, languid RnB, and Eastern European folk doesn't reveal anything outright -- the music only points to where the secrets might lie. One can choose whether to hear them or not.

Baba Stiltz continues to showcase his songwriting capabilities with Relief. Backed by Ilari Larjosto on drums, Relief sees Stiltz delving deeper into the slacker-country territory explored on his last album. The track hints at the indie apathy of decades past while maintaining a distinctly contemporary sensibility. A dubby yet fractured-sounding bassline and sparse three- chord verse structure intertwine with Theo Stocks' beautiful lap steel arrangement, while Larjosto's steady, Moe Tucker-esque drumming keeps the song moving forward.

Artifacts and Uranium's Lagoons is the latest collaboration between Mike Vest (Blown Out, Bong, Drunk In Hell, Modoki etc) and Fred Laird (Earthling Society, Taras Bulba, Empty House) and the fifth installment of sonic experimentation since their self-titled debut in 2021. The project sees Vest and Laird working again as a duo. The ambient acoustic elements of Laird's Empty House and the electrical static of Vest's guitar explorations form a sonic, psychedelic Yin Yang, pulling and pushing yet forever merging amongst the kosmische currents. Spiritual and chaotic, formless and expanding, an album that is undefinable and ever changing. Limited edition of 300 copies worldwide, all pressed on burnt out orange vinyl.

Italian hard-rockers who chased the dream to London in '73 and recorded a full album in the very same studio and with the very same engineer as Led Zeppelin. Never released at the time, here it is in full hard-rock/proto-metal glory. Moby Dick were a fierce, English-singing rock band born in Naples in 1968, driven by zero compromises, and a motto that said it all: "no drugs, no bullshit -- just music." Blending Mediterranean fire with a hard-rock sound deeply inspired by Led Zeppelin, they carved out a reputation on the Italian live circuit before cutting a now-legendary, long-lost album in London in 1973. Formed in the Vomero district of Naples by guitarist Toni Di Mauro and bassist Enzo Petrone, the band came together with drummer Adriano Assanti and, after a relentless search, vocalist Sandro Coppola. Early rehearsals shook the walls of a tiny apartment, while their live shows -- explosive, chaotic -- earned them a cult following across Italy. They tore through clubs and festivals from Naples to Rome, Milan, and the Adriatic coast, known for wild performances, pyrotechnics, and sheer sonic power -- often for little or no pay. Backed by their loyal road manager Bruno and championed by promoter Maurizio Mauri, Moby Dick built their reputation the hard way: on stage. By 1973, against all odds, they secured a deal to record in London with a top engineer linked to the British rock elite. For the band, it was the dream realized: two intense weeks of rehearsing, refining, and recording their definitive statement. Despite the momentum, the album was never released.

With recordings dating back to the 1974-1978 period, Universal Dub collects a series of takes at the influential Randy's and Channel One studios in Jamaica, then later mixed at King Tubby's studio. The tapes at in the closet for more than a decade, when Morris White made a deal Zola & Zola Records for a mid-1990s release. The project is credited to dub masters King Tubby, Scientist, Bunny Tom Tom, and Barnabas. The album is a showcase of late-1970s Jamaican dub production: deep basslines, stripped-down rhythms, heavy echo and spring reverb, with the mixing desk treated as an instrument. Much of the material features elite session musicians including Robbie Shakespeare, Lloyd Parks, Sly Dunbar, Carlton Barrett, Augustus Pablo, Ansel Collins, and Earl "Chinna" Smith. The compilation is quite interesting because it captures several generations of King Tubby mixing tradition all together. King Tubby pioneered dub's spatial mixing techniques in the 1970s, while Scientist emerged as one of Tubby's most famous protégés in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Bunny Tom Tom and Barnabas were also key engineers in Kingston studios during the roots and early dancehall period. The sound is generally raw, spacious, and rhythm-driven rather than polished -- closer to classic sound-system dub than later digital productions. Fans of albums like Scientist Meets the Space Invaders or King Tubby's Meets Scientist -- In a World of Dub will recognize the same cavernous echo, militant drum patterns and constantly shifting instrumental emphasis.

Government Alpha, the project of Yasutoshi Yoshida, is one of the central figures in Japanese harsh noise, emerging from Tokyo's early 1990s underground scene. Through his Xerxes label, he developed a style that is both extreme and meticulously constructed, balancing ferocity and precision with remarkable control. Even at its most chaotic, every sonic eruption feels carefully placed. Originally released on cassette in 1994, The Human Race Was Restored To Life Repeatedly captures a pivotal stage in Yoshida's artistic development. At this point, he was still refining his unique musical language. The album is raw, unstable, and charged with experimental energy, yet it already reveals the defining characteristics of his later work. These recordings reflect a deeply physical, hands-on approach to sound creation. Worn electronics, manipulated tapes, feedback, and metallic objects become sonic material, each noise bent, reshaped, and reassembled into new forms. It is harsh noise in a state of constant transformation, still free from rigid conventions. The album moves through continuous walls of distortion and corrosive frequencies. Beneath its abrasive surface lies a wealth of detail, pulse, and texture, where chaos is organized into shifting, layered structures. It is precisely this balance between violence and composition that defines Yoshida's work. This new vinyl edition, remastered by Lasse Marhaug, marks the first time the album appears on vinyl, bringing out every nuance of the original recording. The sound retains its rawness while gaining depth, clarity, and spatial presence. Today, the album stands as a landmark of harsh noise history, a vital work that transforms sonic destruction into musical architecture. Recorded at F23 Studio Tokyo, January 16-29 1994. Mixed by Yasutoshi Yoshida on January 30, 1994.

Between 1999 and 2000, Merzbow entered a new artistic phase, embracing digital production and refining his sonic language. He moved away from the tape collages and improvised circuitry of his earlier years. In their place arose monumental sound structures, dense and meticulously sculpted. Harsh noise, tribal rhythms, and corrosive textures merged into a single, overwhelming sonic body. Yoshinotsune emerged during this especially fertile period and stands as one of Masami Akita's most evocative works. The album weaves together historical, mythological, and personal references, drawing inspiration from the figure of Minamoto no Yoshitsune. From the outset, bird calls, radio interference, and electronic signals create an enigmatic atmosphere. The result is an unsettling soundscape suspended between nature and technology. Throughout the album, the sound continually transforms, alternating between ominous beats, unearthly moans, and ritualistic pulses. These elements evoke tribal rhythms filtered through circuitry and digital distortion. The music drives forward with relentless force while maintaining a constant tension between motion and stillness. Rather than simply overwhelming, it invites the listener to become immersed in its intricate details. This new double-vinyl edition, mastered by Lasse Marhaug and limited to just 199 copies, greatly expands the original experience. The three tracks from the CD are spread across four sides, with the addition of two previously unreleased pieces. This format highlights the depth of the low end, the nuances of the digital processing, and even the acoustic guitar passages. As a result, the work gains a broader, more tactile, and more detailed physical presence. What makes Yoshinotsune so compelling is its perfect balance between technical precision and creative instinct. Though meticulously constructed, its structures retain a raw and immediate vitality. Akita's hand can always be felt, shaping the sound with intensity and sensitivity. This reissue fully restores the grandeur of one of Merzbow's richest and most immersive recordings, now expanded with two bonus tracks.

Originally released on cassette in 1985, H·A·D·A·Y·R·O is a landmark of Japanese noise music. It documents the early vision of Solmania and the singular sonic approach of Masahiko Ohno. For years, it remained a cult artifact among collectors and underground enthusiasts. This vinyl edition renews its impact, feeling more like a rebirth than a simple reissue. Solmania was far more than a band; it was Masahiko Ohno's personal sound laboratory. At the heart of the album are his self-built guitars, transformed into extraordinary sound-generating machines. Their tones scrape, roar, and vibrate with an almost organic intensity. Alongside these, Ohno also employs tape, radio, turntable, and voice -- expanding the palette into a raw, multi-source field of sound, with drums and keyboard performed by Tomioka Akira. The album constructs noise as a complex, layered architecture. Distortion, feedback, metallic harmonics, and electrical abrasion intertwine into dense, evolving structures. Despite its industrial harshness, the sound remains deeply human. Every vibration carries the mark of touch, pressure, and spontaneous improvisation. Here, noise is not simply about volume or aggression, but about exploring texture, repetition, and transformation. The music exists in a thrilling balance between construction and controlled collapse. Its hypnotic passages take on an almost ritualistic, sculptural quality. Each moment seems poised to mutate into something new. The vinyl format fully reveals the richness of this work. Low-end resonance, harmonic detail, and the interplay between feedback and silence emerge with renewed clarity. More than a historical artifact, this reissue presents H·A·D·A·Y·R·O as a living, vital work. It remains a radical example of uncompromising creativity and sonic innovation.

Von present Kino Variants 1967-1986, the first-ever collection to illuminate the vast body of work created by the Uzbek composer Rumil Vildanov during the second half of the 20th century. Offering a rare glimpse of liberated creative spirit operating behind the Iron Curtain, this engrossing double-LP provides an unprecedented immersion into the work of one of the most celebrated composers from Uzbekistan, often described as the "Ennio Morricone of Central Asia". Comprising a startling range of electronic and electroacoustic experiments, evocative chamber works and orchestral works, and more discrete instrumental efforts -- all created to accompany moving image -- totaling an incredible 82 pieces in total, this remarkable sonic journey into Vildanov's inner world and towering talents. Beginning in 1964, when he was first asked by the director, Elyor Ishmuhamedov, to compose the music for one of his films, Vildanov became "obsessed with making music for cinema" and remained deeply connected to the field for the rest of his life -- collaborating with prominent filmmakers, including Eldor Urazbaev, Ali Khamraev, and Shukhrat Abbasov. It is Vildanov's sonic contributions to film, around which Kino Variants 1967-1986 narrows its focus, illuminating the composer's striking range and diverse touchstones. The collection begins with 29 "Abstract Variations" of various durations, rendered on a range of instruments -- synthesizer, harp, harpsichord, and timpani, among numerous others -- in solo and multi-instrumental combinations, utilizing both purely acoustic and electroacoustic approaches. The second side of the collection offers an immersion into Vildanov's "Orchestral Variations", which move between constrained and encompassing scales of instrumental combination. Retaining a strong sense of cohesive vision within their diversity, Vildanov elegantly moves between the use of avant-garde tonal dissonance and lush melodic sensibilities. The second LP of Kino Variants 1967-1986 is dedicated to two thematic groupings, "Rubab Variations" and "Titles Variations". The first stands among the most culturally revealing bodies of work in the collection; centering the focus upon Vildanov's compositions for the rubab, a lute-like stringed instrument played in parts of Central and South Asia. "Titles Variations", the collection's fourth and final side, comprises 19 pieces that expand and further illuminate the range of Vildanov's musical explorations, the majority of which date from the final decade of the composer's life. Printed inner sleeves; edition of 300.

Vasopressin presents On the Edge of the Outside, collecting four works by Nurse With Wound -- three composed in response to texts by Kafka, Tzara, and Forneret, one previously unreleased -- on vinyl for the first time. Electroacoustic abstraction, minimalist drones, and grimy ambience. Vasopressin's second installment of their dedicated series bringing Nurse With Wound's contemporary output to vinyl -- and it is, if anything, even more extraordinary than what came before. On the Edge of the Outside gathers three works previously issued as 3" CDs alongside literary editions published by the French imprint Lenka Lente, each "conceived in intimate response to literary texts -- yet entirely self-sufficient as autonomous sonic experiences": "Kafka's Parachute" (2017), composed in dialogue with Franz Kafka's "Rapport à une Académie"; "On the Edge of the Outside" (2020), drawn from Tristan Tzara's "Minuits pour Géants"; and "We Are the Dead Men" (2025), accompanying Xavier Forneret's "Le Diamant de l'Herb". To these is added "None and a Star Stand (Untitled Lament)", a piece whose origins remain close to the same Lenka lente orbit -- appearing here, as does the entire collection, in its vinyl debut. Across two sides, the record maps a vast and quietly staggering emotional and sonic terrain. "Kafka's Parachute" opens proceedings with howling recitations and a knotted palette of electroacoustic abstraction, channeling something close to concrete poetry in its most visceral, unsettling form. The second side then opens with "None And A Star Stand" -- a breath of grimy, luminous release -- eleven minutes of shifting textures that feel restless and alive without ever resolving into event, before "We Are The Dead Men" descends deeper still, unfurling at glacial pace through overlapping drones and harmonics of rare, disquieting beauty. The closing title track moves from ripping feedback through swirling resonances and sparse piano tones before dissolving back into abrasion, completing a journey that feels as much literary as sonic. Featuring Steven Stapleton alongside collaborators Colin Potter, Andrew Liles, Matt Waldron, James Worse, and Quentin Rollet, On the Edge of the Outside stands as proof that after nearly five decades, Nurse With Wound remains one of the few forces in music genuinely capable of making the world sound like somewhere you have never been before. Issued by Vasopressin, the Milan-based label founded by Matteo Moschettoni. Black vinyl.

Building upon their recent, incredible immersions into the contemporary landscape of experimental sound, Die Schachtel returns with one of their most striking releases to date, Border Soundscapes II, distilling their longstanding efforts at the borders of interdisciplinary practice with a profound sense of accomplishment and grace. Instigated and curated by the label's own Bruno Stucchi, who also contributed the release's graphic design, this very special vinyl only art edition encounters the guitarist and composer, Paolo Spaccamonti, operating in spectral collaboration with the renowned photographs of Pino Musi: utilizing 24 images selected by the artist, published as a three and a half meter long leporello (accordion style) book that accompanies the edition, as the score for the detail and ambience laden abstractions that sprawl across the album's two sides. Born in Salerno, but currently based in Paris, Pino Musi's photographs, exhibited widely across the globe and featured in the Venice Biennale, utilize modern architecture, classical ruins, steel mills, rural architecture, and urban cityscapes as their subjects, focused on pure form and compositional abstraction. Paolo Spaccamonti is a Turin-based guitarist and composer who, for more than two decades, has worked with sound across numerous creative disciplines, bringing him into intimate collaboration with everyone from Jochen Arbeit of Einstürzende Neubauten, to composers like Stefano Pilia, Riccardo Sinigaglia, Jim White, and numerous others. Imbued with a deep sense of abstraction and space that mirrors the foundational elements of Musi's photographs, Spaccamonti's work on guitar, often unrecognizable as such, unfurls across the album's two sides with a striking degree of range, embracing a palette of industrially tinged clangs and scrapes, subsumed tones, passages of dense distortion, overlapping and shifting drones, endlessly surprising tonal and timbral punctuations, and deconstructed melodies, embedded within the sprawling ambiences that bind these actions within a single, cohesive world. Issued as a very special vinyl only art edition, limited to 200 copies, housed in a silkscreened sleeve, hand-signed by Musi, Spaccamonti, and Stucchi, accompanied by a three and a half meter long leporello book comprising Musi's 24 photographs. Truly amazing and not to be missed.

"The Whiles are a Columbus, Ohio indie-folk-rock band whose work spans four different decades. Formed in the late '90s, The Whiles have shared the stage with The National, Grizzly Bear and My Morning Jacket, had a song in an Academy Award Nominated documentary (Murderball) and all of its members have been at the center of the world renowned (and sir Paul McCartney endorsed) Sgt Peppercorn's Marathon, the only show of its kind in which all 220 songs of the Beatles are performed in a single 14 hour performance. In 2024, The Whiles booked time with legendary producer Steve Albini (Nirvana, Pixies, Breeders) to record a new album. Unfortunately, Alibini tragically passed away three months before the scheduled recording dates. The Whiles pivoted and finished two records on their own in their home studios: Hummingbird, a 10-song polyrhythmic meditation on being a middle aged parent in a post-Covid world, and Colors of the Year, a rerecording and 3D reimagining of the band's 2004 masterpiece. Both albums showcase the bands ability to incorporate Beach Boys harmonies, George Harrison-esque guitar composition, the 2000s indie aesthetics of bands like The Shins and The National and Dylan/Cohen inspired lyrical precision, and an emotional vulnerability that echoes The Smiths and Elliott Smith. The Whiles bring a uniquely earnest musical kaleidoscope of both records, records that hopefully will resonate in a fragmented world that craves beauty and truth, The Whiles are excited to be an active band again, looking back and celebrate the rerecording of a lost gem (Colors of the Year), while simultaneously looking forward with a batch of new songs (Hummingbird)."

A UK producer with a fierce command of high-pressure club dynamics, leads with a version that comes big, busy and blazing, brimming with glorious noise, swift movement and late-night intent. Afriqua brings his trademark musicality to the second version, turning the lights up enough to let some melody through, adding bounce, swing and a touch of house warmth, never loosening the grip. Bona fide UK underground originators Horsepower Productions lower the ceiling again, rebuilding the track for the darkest of basement clubs in the form of a low-slung bruiser with broken edges and proper bass weight.

Gold Panda returns with Ton Up, a brilliantly stubborn new album for Studio Barnhus: eight rough-hewn dance tracks and two cozy little service-station interludes, all crafted with the robust determination of a producer who knows that 140 bpm is not so much a tempo as a way of life. Made with Derwin Dicker's unmistakable sampler-bashing touch, the tracks on Ton Up carry the raw knock of old-school hip-hop instrumentals, pushed through pumping house-music machinery and ready to cause absolute trouble on any half-decent sound system. Here you'll find zero of that dreaded, over-explained "maturity" usually demanded of beloved electronic artists several albums deep into the game. Instead, Gold Panda just sounds as happily locked in as ever, carelessly chasing the physical joys of pressure, swing and repetition. Ton Up is functional, funny and oddly tender club music, arriving just when the world needed it the most.

With For Red Riverbank, The Sprigs return to Bison for their first full length LP, this time joined by Ratty and Badger to form a full three-piece band, and to help Mole take on the developers working above ground. Armed with guitars, pipes, samples and bric-a-brac, it'd be easy for the Sprigs to succumb to a totally romanticized nostalgia for an imagined British folkloric tradition. There's enough of it going around. Instead, the gang create a ramshackle, ruddy faced blend of introspective hibernation, real-world anxiety and some absolutely knee slapping, joy inducing tunes. It's a masterwork of folk collage -- where beautiful straight-to-tape guitar sketches are cut up amongst British labor history with the help of Leon Rosselson and Ash Reid, giving way to waves of depression and relief in equal measure. Such is life!

Following an illustrious tenure as founding member of acclaimed, boundary-defying trio The Comet Is Coming, alongside output as half of electronic psych jazzers Soccer96, the producer and synthesist Dan Leavers, aka Danalogue, announces his debut solo LP, Teleportations. Conceived as a continuous, journey-based piece, Teleportations is a warm, playful and immersive album that transforms endings, grief and personal upheaval into a vivid science-fictional voyage of escape, healing and renewal. A self-contained sonic world performed entirely by Danalogue, Teleportations unfolds like a single trip rather than a collection of standalone tracks. Moving seamlessly between celestial ambience, shimmering kosmische, euphoric space disco, liquid jazz funk and the deepest Detroit house, the album invites listeners to enroll in what Dan describes as a "teleportation program" -- a musical technology designed to sublimate difficult emotions, allowing sound, texture and motion to carry the listener through shifting states of feeling and emerge transformed on the other side. Science fiction provides both the language and architecture of the record. Inspired by astral travel, theta brainwaves, collective consciousness, the artist Jean Giraud, the writer Ernst Bloch and the film maker Miyazaki, Danalogue imagines music as a shared act of transportation -- not unlike the experience of an audience tuning into a gig as one unified organism. Danalogue cites figures such as Joe Meek, Wendy Carlos, Isao Tomita, Laurie Spiegel, Mort Garson and Terry Riley, and groups Harmonia and Kluster, as influences -- all artists who operated outside rigid genre boundaries. Teleportations was created using a largely vintage analogue setup, centered around the Roland Juno-60 and SH09, Jupiter 4, Oberheim and old samplers.

Definitive Recordings presents a powerful new remix by Roland Leesker of "Pennies From Heaven," the timeless house classic by Inner City, originally released in 1992. On his remix, Roland Leesker transforms "Pennies From Heaven" into a driving, floor-focused house weapon. Built around a heavy, straight TR-909 groove, the track gradually introduces elements from the original in a layered, loop-based arrangement. The remix reaches its peak in a powerful breakdown, where the full main theme and vocals unfold, creating a classic hands-in-the-air moment before dropping back into the stomping groove.

I recently bought a Vestax MR44 (the best sounding 4-track ever IMHO) -- the same 4-track I recorded some Coachwhips, early OCS etc. on. Now we had the tools we needed so I spent a week writing riffs and brought them to Tom Dolas and John Hodge. We ran them one time and then recorded them on the second go. Loosely improvised and unhinged. Everything turned all the way up. Hope you dig -- play loud." --John Dwyer

Released in 2014, Buraka is Buraka Som Sistema's third studio album -- and the last before their hiatus. Rooted in the group's signature fusion of Angolan kuduro and bass music, the record captures the global reach of their sound, documented in Off the Beaten Track: a film following the band through Caracas, Paris, India, London and Luanda, narrated in their own words. This limited color vinyl edition marks its first ever vinyl pressing, giving full room to the original artwork by Studio Moross. Part of the vinyl reissue of Buraka Som Sistema's discography marking their 20-year anniversary, it arrives ahead of their long-awaited return to the stage. Featuring Yadi and Alo Wala.

Originally released in 2003, With A Heartbeat brings together Pharoah Sanders, Bill Laswell, and Graham Haynes in a collaboration that remains as elusive as it is forward-thinking. Now reissued by Glossy Mistakes, the album receives its first official vinyl remastered edition. At the core of the record lies an unusual but striking element: the steady pulse of a human heartbeat. Rather than a conceptual gesture, it becomes the foundation of the music itself -- treated as a deep, bass-like rhythm that anchors the entire album. Around it, Laswell builds his unmistakable sonic world, drawing from dub techniques where basslines expand, dissolve, and re-emerge, and where space becomes as important as sound. Across its extended compositions, the album unfolds slowly and deliberately. Layers of electric sitar, guitar, keyboards and subtle percussion drift in and out, creating a fluid, almost tidal movement. The heartbeat remains present throughout, grounding even the most abstract passages in something physical and immediate. At the center stands Sanders' saxophone-searching, expansive, and deeply spiritual. His playing moves freely across the structures, at times echoing the lineage of John Coltrane, while also reaching beyond it. Alongside him, Haynes adds a complementary voice, weaving through the shifting textures. The result is a work that resists easy definition: part spiritual jazz, part future-facing experiment, shaped by dub's sense of space and transformation. Meditative, immersive, and deeply rhythmic, With A Heartbeat unfolds like a living organism-guided not by fixed tempo, but by the pulse of life itself. With this release, Glossy Mistakes continues its work of bringing essential and forward-thinking recordings into new formats, preserving their depth while opening them to new listeners.

The story of The 2nd Coming begins in the late 1960s, when psychedelic music was sweeping across America. While California became the epicenter, a parallel scene was quietly exploding in Florida -- fueled by young musicians inspired by the British Invasion and artists like Hendrix and Cream, yet searching for a heavier, more original sound. In Sarasota and Bradenton, a tight-knit group of players gathered around a small venue called Club Toro. Among them were Larry Reinhardt, Reese Wynans, Richard "Hombre" Price, Berry Oakley, and Dickey Betts -- musicians who would soon help shape what the world would later call Southern rock. What started as cover bands quickly evolved into something louder and more experimental. Out of this scene came two interconnected bands: The Load and The Second Coming (featuring Dickey Betts and Berry Oakley). By 1968, both groups had relocated to Jacksonville, Florida, sharing houses, stages, and an emerging musical vision. Their live shows -- especially at legendary local spots like the Forrest Inn -- became marathon jam sessions, drawing crowds of up to 2,000 people and attracting players like Duane Allman, Butch Trucks, and Jaimoe. These collaborations would ultimately lead to the formation of The Allman Brothers Band, while the remaining members continued forging their own path -- raw, heavy, and deeply rooted in blues, psychedelia, and improvisation. In April 1969, a new, revamped line-up of the Second Coming -- rechristened as The 2nd Coming -- and featuring Larry Reinhardt (guitar), Reese Wynans (organ), Richard "Hombre" Price (bass) plus two drummers (Monty Young and John Meeks), entered Sound Laboratory in Jacksonville to record what would become the Evaluations album. But when the band couldn't pay the $6,000 studio bill, the album was shelved. A failed trip to New York to secure a deal sealed its fate, and the band soon dissolved. The master tapes were left behind -- lost and forgotten for decades. The legend might have ended there -- until the late 1990s, when the original master tape was rediscovered in a storage archive. Purchased by the former band members, the recordings were finally back in their rightful hands. After years of remaining unheard, the project has now been fully restored and released in collaboration with Guerssen Records, bringing this powerful, long-lost recording to light for the very first time. Sourced from the original masters, featuring artwork in silver foil by artist Fez Moreno. Includes insert with liner notes by original member Richard 'Hombre' Price. Includes download card.

Pioneering compilation/concept album from 1968 featuring key psychedelic bands from San Francisco. A real fest of fuzzed-out psychedelia , garage and folk-rock. Conceived by legendary (and controversial) producer Matthew Katz, Fifth Pipe Dream Volume I is a groundbreaking psychedelic album from 1968 that blurs the line between compilation and concept record. Featuring a rotating cast of Katz's San Francisco Sound artists, it encapsulates the creativity and experimental spirit of the Bay Area at its lysergic peak. Rather than a traditional various-artists compilation, Fifth Pipe Dream was designed as a unified listening experience -- multiple bands contributing to a single, flowing psychedelic journey. At a time when this format was virtually unheard of, Katz assembled a genre-defying release that still feels ahead of its time. The album brings together key underground acts from the late '60s psychedelic scene from San Francisco. The album moves seamlessly across styles while maintaining a cohesive, trippy atmosphere. Released in November 1968 under Katz's San Francisco Sound imprint, the album reflects both the creative explosion -- and the business controversies -- of the era. Katz famously controlled band names and recordings, leading to miscredited tracks and ongoing legal disputes with artists like Moby Grape and Jefferson Airplane. Despite (or because of) this, Fifth Pipe Dream stands as a fascinating snapshot of a scene in flux -- where artistic ambition, experimentation, and industry tensions collided. Though no follow-up volume ever appeared, Fifth Pipe Dream remains a cult cornerstone of the original San Francisco psychedelic era. Carefully remastered sound. Original artwork in gatefold sleeve. Four-panel color insert with detailed liner notes and photos/memorabilia. Featuring It's A Beautiful Day, San Francisco Sound House Band, Tripsichord Music Box, West Coast Natural Gas, and Black Swan.

Whatever Happened To...? by Dave (a duo comprised of Peter Harknett and Russell Elliott) has become one of the most elusive and sought-after modern psychedelic records among collectors of DIY and late-'60s-inspired psychedelia. Recorded in a converted garage studio in North London by two vinyl-obsessed friends operating under complete anonymity, the album offers a rare balance of lo-fi intimacy, homemade experimentation and authentic psychedelic vibe. Deeply inspired by psychedelia, folk-rock and krautrock (think Pretty Things, S.F.Sorrow, Barret-era Floyd, Gene Clark, Popol Vuh, Hawkwind, Koobas), the record feels less like a retro revival and more like a lost private press artifact from another era. Dreamy vocals, fuzzed out guitars, effects, long tracks, stoned vibe -- It will appeal equally to fans of '60s-'70s psychedelia, '90s shoegaze and bands like Spacemen 3/Flying Saucer Attack. The original album was mixed live by four hands straight from the mix desk without any studio gadgets. It was subsequently pressed in a homemade edition of 50 copies with help from Brian Carroll (cutting engineer at I.B.C. Studios: Factory, Five Day Rain, etc) but without Peter Harknett's (one half of Dave) knowledge / involvement. The cover featured Peter's neighbor Dave on the front. On the back, they included a blurry photo of their Italian friend Marco (from Rock Bottom Records), who used to buy and trade original psych albums from Russell and Peter. The original pressing of the album suffered from excessive duration on each side, affecting the sound quality. This has been fixed for our new reissue, expanding it to a double LP including two previously unreleased tracks from the album sessions. Also, all the tracks have been newly and carefully mixed from the original multi-track tapes by Peter Harknett, sounding better than ever. Featuring extensive liner notes and reflections from co-creator Pete Harknett, this long-overdue reissue finally brings the album beyond collector lore and into the wider psychedelic canon. Includes insert with liner notes by Klemen Breznikar (It's Psychedelic Baby) and photos. Features two previously unreleased bonus tracks from the original album sessions, as well as download card with the full 2LP plus one digital only bonus track.

Writing On The Wall were a legendary Scottish underground psych/prog band whose explosive live reputation rivaled the early UK heavyweights of the late '60s/early '70s. From Edinburgh soul rebels to theatrical psychedelic warriors, they were signed to the Middle Earth label, releasing their sole album, The Power Of The Picts, in 1969. Sadly, despite critical praise, major live popularity and opportunities to break internationally, the band's career became trapped in management disputes, failed label deals and bad luck, leaving much of their finest material unreleased for decades. This compilation gathers some of that material: their killer non-LP "Lucifer Corpus / Child On A Crossing" 45; early psych stuff including the rare Jury acetate; the 7-minute Mellotron-fueled "Buffalo" and rare TV broadcast recordings. Comes in hard cardboard period sleeve. Includes insert with track-by track annotations by original member Jimmy Hush and rare photos.

Blastin' underground hard-rock from Canada, 1972, ultra-raw guitars and vocals. Ellison were a Montréal-based hard-rock/heavy-blues band emerging from Québec's late '60s psychedelic scene. With just one album to their name, they left behind a powerful legacy and a rapidly growing cult following. The band's origins trace back to 1967, when bassist Richard Arcand and vocalist Vincent Marandola played together in Johnny Peace. In 1969, guitarist Christian Vaeillant and drummer Robert Cager joined forces with them, forming Ellison. Closely tied to l'Association des Orchestres -- a collective led by Jean-Claude Brosseau dedicated to Québec's underground movement -- Ellison quickly became part of a rising wave of hard-rock and psychedelic blues acts redefining the local scene. By 1971, Ellison were building momentum through relentless live performances across college campuses and schools, earning a strong following. In 1972, the band entered the studio with the Supreme label to record their first and only album. Released that same year, the record captured the raw intensity and spirit of their live shows. On March 31, 1973, Ellison performed what would become their last known show in Montréal. Shortly after, they disappeared without a trace from the live circuit, leaving behind a single album and a lasting reputation within Québec's underground. Featuring original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Newly sourced/remastered sound. Includes insert with liner notes and photos.

You Are Traffic is their debut album feels and sounds like Atlanta with its sweat-soaked dance rhythms, its lyrical content that radiates like the colorful murals and street art that cover the city, it's an album propulsive in nature like the abundant green canopy that breathes life and provides comfort from the oppressive heat. You are Traffic is bursting with joy while taking in everything around it and presenting it back to the listener. The world is on fire so you might as well dance.

When Eliane Radigue departed this realm in February 2026, at age 94, she left behind a singular, inimitable body of work. Her focus on slowly changing, highly detailed drone music yielded numerous monoliths among which Adnos stands tall. Composed and recorded on tape between 1973-1982 using an Arp 2500 modular synthesizer, these astonishing pieces exemplify Radigue's quote about how slow changes, vibrations deep within her sounds, ultimately shape the textures of her sonic work: "If a stone in the river moves, the river is not changed, but after a long time it becomes something completely different." This 2026 repress preserves the 2013 package design; a thorough collaboration between Eliane Radigue and John Brien of Important Records. A 24-page booklet of Adnos-era archival material accompanies the three compact discs in a heavy-duty quad-fold, 8-panel cardboard jacket printed inside and out.
"Time is of no importance. All that counts is the duration necessary for a seamless development. My music evolves organically. It's like a plant. We never see a plant move, but it is growing continually. Like plants, immobile but always growing, my music is never stable. It is ever changing." --Eliane Radigue
"A steady stream of sonic activity taking place right at the edge of one's perception." --New York Times
"This piece represents the height of musical sensitivity." --Village Voice

The album November 89 comprises a selection of very early GAS tracks, some of which date back to the late 1980s. They were first released in 2008 as a CD insert in the art book Wolfgang Voigt GAS, published on Raster-Noton. Just like the photographs in the book, these pieces are early precursors that would evolve in the ensuing years with the albums Zauberberg and Königsforst into a style-defining, audiovisual "Gesamtkunstwerk" (total work of art) comprising hypnotically focused forest imagery and an abstract, psychedelic wash of sound created by alphorn and bass drum. The album is now available on vinyl for the first time. This effectively completes the existing GAS vinyl series by adding the "first" album, which had previously been missing. The cover art makes direct reference to the album Oktember, released in 1999. The highly hypnotic, dense forest motif served as the basis for one of the first Oktember Waldloops (forest-loops) works that have increasingly found their way into international galleries and art venues over the years.

"A remaster and first time pressing of the earliest Gun Outfit cassettes, which were produced by the band to sell on their first two national tours in 2009 and 2010, along with some unreleased tracks. The aesthetic at the time was basically an embrace of primitivism. Technical know-how was actively disdained in favor of abject expressionism. The context was the hardcore scene, but it was Olympia, so there was some kind of hermetic awareness that could be read as art. This record shows the side of the band that was least afraid of what people thought. The tapes were for friends, there was no outside audience yet. The Emanation cassette was recorded by four track cassette wizard Adam Croce (from Broken Strings) at Carrie's dad (Chunk's) house during the summer. 'We thought he was insane because he made us do multiple takes.' Reuben Storey of the death metal band Funerot was the drummer and played a role in arranging the songs. The tape had space on it that an LP didn't. The self-titled cassette was recorded in various spots throughout Olympia -- mostly the slummy abandoned office building where every band practiced downtown and was mixed at the double wide where Carrie did work trade shoveling out horse stables for rent, Weeping Willow Ranch. Daniel Swire joined on drums after Reuben slid back into metal world; his style was more subtle. 'The band got weirder and the tape got worked so much it started to bleed through. There was confusion throughout but a pretty consistent focus on the songs, a process that translated as vibe.' Enjoy. Mastered by Tim Green at Louder Studios in early 2026. Pressed on 180g black vinyl with heavy Stoughton 'Tip-On' jackets with a cardstock printed inner sleeve. 500 copies pressed."

"Rooted in the Philadelphia experimental music and acid-folk revival scene of the early 2000s, Woodwose neither fits comfortably into said scene nor any musical movement current or past. While their sound can be described as primitive, in the sense of the primordial, not in terms of playmanship, their folk-horror aesthetic abuts a pop sensibility that undermines pure thrift in either genre. What results is a wholly unique sound that permeates one's physiognomy like poison from a deliciously enchanted apple. Keyboardist/flautist/vocalist Jessica Weeks (Magus, The Valerie Project) and guitarist/vocalist Gillian Chadwick (Ex Reverie, Rusalnaia) together draw from a storied musical past to infuse a new creation whose iteration defies ease of labeling. Dueting vocals clamber and soar, guitars stab and arpeggiate, keys rumble and swoon as the rough beast that is Woodwose's debut long-player stands upright, ready to be born into the world."

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

This single is extremely rare among collectors worldwide. A 1983 boogie funk gem. Hailing from Houston, Texas, Jefferson Ink was a family-based project led by Willie Jefferson Jr., rooted in a vibrant and self-sufficient local scene. Far removed from major labels, the group operated within the independent ethos that defined many African American acts of the 1970s and '80s -- where self-production was often the only path to getting music recorded and released. Their discography is scarce, which has only increased its value over time. Among these gems is the single "Fight The Pipe" and "Girl, you turn me on" now regarded as a cult classic in the rare groove circuit.

"Susan Cadogan is a reggae and rocksteady singer from Kingston, Jamaica. With a delicate voice that shimmers between childlike innocence and smoldering sexuality, Susan Cadogan's vocals were the perfect expression of lovers rock. Susan Cadogan's talents as a singer led to her recording her first single, 'Love My Life' for Jamaican Broadcasting Corporation (JBC radio) DJ Jerry Lewis. Lee 'Scratch' Perry was in the recording studio at the time, and was impressed by Cadogan's voice enough to record an album's worth of material with her, also renaming her Susan. One of her first recordings for Perry, a cover of Millie Jackson's soul hit, "Hurt So Good" (featuring bassist Boris Gardiner), was released was released in the UK by Dennis Harris' DIP International label, and topped the UK reggae chart and went on to reach No. 4 in the UK Singles Chart which resulted in Cadogan flying to London to promote the single, including many television appearances on the BBC's Top of the Pops. Other singles were released but none of these charted. 'Hurt So Good' was subsequently certified silver in the United Kingdom and gold in South Africa after a few weeks and became one of the top selling singles of 1975 in the UK. This is the album she recorded for Trojan Records and it was produced by the legendary Lee Perry, Susan Cadogan is available as a limited numbered edition of 750 copies on orange colored vinyl."

"Ras Michael's Dadawah. The singing drummer, a devout Rastafarian musician. Dadawah brought Ras Michael together with veteran studio hands -- bassist Lloyd Parks, drummer Paul Williams, guitarist Willie Lindo, and pianist/organist Lloyd Charmers, who trebled as producer. The resulting album Peace and Love is a work of faith. Although not a concept album in the strict sense of the term, it thematically evokes the Biblical final days. 'Run Come Rally' calls together the world's righteous in preparation for the upcoming battle with evil. Having gathered together the brethren from 'Seventy Two Nations,' all bow before Jah in a celebration of His greatness, then give voice to their desire to return to 'Zion Land.' The set concludes with 'Know How You Stand' a call for freedom, and with it the ability to fulfil Jah's plan. The extraordinary power of the set's themes is echoed by the equally phenomenal backings, all conjuring up the most haunting of atmospheres. Intriguingly, though, there's no reggae guitar, just Lindo's sublime riffs and licks that flick into the rock realm, while constantly sliding back into blues. Charmers' piano and organ occasionally take over the reggae guitar role, but mostly his keys intertwine around Lindo's leads, accentuating melodies, scattering elegant flourishes here and there, and subtly building up the atmospheres. Charmers' production is superb, the musicians inspired, and Ras Michael's power undeniable. An astounding album that's lost none of its potency over the years. Peace and Love (wadadasow) is available as a numbered limited edition of 750 copies on orange colored vinyl."

RELEASE DATE: 7/24/2026
Following on from their critically acclaimed first release Whose Woods These Are, NYAHH Records and Eiderdown Records are thrilled to announce the second album by cellist Eimear Reidy and keys player Natalia Beylis. The album was recorded at St Georges Church, Carrick On Shannon, Leitrim in a cold early January with a William Telford Organ. Built in 1846, it is reputed to be the second oldest organ in Ireland. The album features two long tracks. "Pour Upon The Sky" is a story told by the two voices of cello and organ. Influenced by the rhetorical style of 18th century vocal music, the inspiration for this piece came naturally to Eimear who has a background in early music and has performed alongside the organ in a variety of settings from chamber works to Bach's larger orchestral works such as St Matthew Passion. In 18th century music, the cello and organ perform a role as continuo players. Traditionally the cello and organ are both intertwined and interdependent, playing the bass line and harmonies together and providing a foundation for the rest of the ensemble while soloists come in and out. In "Pour Upon The Sky," Eimear and Natalia play within and without of this traditional form. Freed from the need to hold the solid ground for an ensemble, the cello and organ playfully explore the space as they pass the role of solo and continuo back and forth. "The Whistling Dust" is a slow steady study of the microscopic flutters of the organs and the organ. The heart of the Telford rattles and breathes as the cello dances in and out. When Natalia and Eimear began working on these pieces in the cold January, the Telford, which seemed like it had been sitting quietly for quite some time, shook and trembled as its insides were awoken. "The Whistling Dust" speaks to the moment when the instrument moved alive, every opened stop knob of the pipes bringing the feel of the microsounds of the machine closer and closer as the cello offers utterances of encouragement.

"Lockstep is a Nashville-based band pulling elements from shoegaze, doom and heavy rock. They've built a sound rooted in atmosphere and weight, moving between quiet, uneasy moments and crushing walls of noise. With each release, the band has tightened their approach -- cutting excess and focusing on impact. Their debut full-length, I Know What I Saw, out through Profound Lore Records stands as the band's most focused and complete statement to date. Following the release of several singles (their last being the 'Drag Along' single from 2025), their Arrival EP from 2023, and already having a decent number of shows and tours under their belt (notable past tours include runs with Prize Horse and Gumm), I Know What I Saw leans into massive, slow-burning riffs and dense, layered guitars that stay engaging without letting up, locking into sections that feel both hypnotic and suffocating. Songs stretch and build with purpose, pulling listeners deeper into the band's world while keeping a constant sense of tension and release. It's the clearest and most realized version of Lockstep yet."

The Bug and Ghost Dubs relentlessly probe and atomize original material culled from Kevin Richard Martin's critically acclaimed Sub Zero album. Remixed to punish sound systems and freeze up the dance, both Fiedler and Martin trade fresh, contrasting blows, after their recent IMPLOSION face off album on PRESSURE. The resulting four remixes are every bit as hypnotic and persuasive as you would hope for from productions fresh out the soundlabs of Michael Fiedler aka GHOST DUBS and Kevin Richard Martin under his dancefloor destroying Bug alias. Both producers intensify the desolate mood of the originals but introduce demolition inducing beats which provide the literally irresistible momentum. Echoes of the originals are respected and heard throughout, but the extra gear shifts pay off brilliantly. Guaranteed to push serious air, and test the most powerful of sub woofers, these four remixes vary from heavy to superheavyweight. i.e. GHOST DUBS outputs a deliriously stoned headnod with his zonal refix of "When I'm Gone," which miraculously sounds both subtley mysterious, but monolithically huge, whilst The Bug prowls ice cold, on the noirish, narcotic, instrumental hip hop of "Too Human," which sounds like prime Mobb Deep mixed by Rhythm & Sound at 16 bpm. Essential remixes of an already very special album, the original atmosphere is not only captured expertly, it is categorically amplified.

"Eddy Current Suppression Ring make a surprise return with their fifth album In Light of Recent Events. True to form, it finds the disinterested careerists sidestepping expectation and working on their own terms, in their own time. Dialed in through closed-door weekly jams across 2025, that pent-up energy has only leaked via pseudonym-billed small-room shows as Jimmy and the Ringtones and Top Hats, record shop in-stores and country detours, plus a pair of phantom straight-to-YouTube singles ('Swimming Hole' and 'Hard To Be Moved'), each with accompanying films by Chris Middlebrook and Amiel Courtin-Wilson respectively. Modern-day anxiety and human disillusionment press through the album's darker, more politically aware subject matter, as suburban melodramas and tender, hard-hitting reflections articulate everything you've never been able to. Taped within the band's signature close-quarters claustrophobia, Brendan Suppression purges his dome with a newly awakened vocal range, while riff savant Eddy Current bleeds through quicksilver, blood-raw scratches, cut against the tension-wound, locked-in low end of Danny Current and Rob Solid."

"Cartographers and US multinational technology corporations might think they've mapped out most of the planet, and yet there's always more to discover if you know where to look. French-born, London-based composer and musician Pascal Bideau takes this as his central premise on a new album of intrepid sonic exploration that delights in the sensation of being somewhere you've never been before. Terra Incognita invites listeners to seven faraway sonic imaginariums fusing global and spiritual jazz with life affirming minimalism into a hypnotic, polyrhythmic odyssey. This time, the albums' sound palette is more vibrant, earthy and abundant, drawing inspiration from the radiating optimism and high-energy sources heard in Afrobeat, highlife and electronic Afro-pop music, sounding looser, free and primarily interested in raw sensations. Terra Incognita is a hybrid blend of traditional music and modern electronics, a trip into the unknown that ambulates freely, taking pleasure in its repetitions and never staying still. Bideau suggests this unmarked territory could be as much a fantasyland as it is a transportive journey into the inner self. In an era where the concept of nation states and their need to be protected has come to dominate the political discourse, Terra Incognita embraces adventure without borders, seeking out the unexplored territory of the title, breathlessly beholding vistas and pirouetting to take in boundless panoramas. Bideau is not the only musician on Terra Incognita. There's the Indian-born tabla virtuoso Sarathy Korwar who adds an almost drum and bass-like kineticism to 'Rain Dance', Dudú Kouate, the celebrated Senegalese musician adds an array of percussions, ngoni, flutes throughout with a spirited multi-octave vocal to give a climatic end to the album on 'Dawning Dusk'. Levitation Orchestra's Marysia Osu alongside Lluís Domènech Plana respectively bring harp and flutes whilst pulsing electronics are provided on 'Anima' by longtime collaborator Daniel Brandt. Ecstatic improvisations were overlaid with an array of instruments at his disposal, many from around the world, from Africa to South East Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, gathered from his own travels or brought back by family and friends. Pascal plays flutes, clarinet, guitars, bass, mbira, balafon, dutars, marimbas, zither, adungu and many other percussions."

LP version. "Mabe Fratti is a Guatemalan cellist, vocalist, and composer based in Mexico City, celebrated for her experimental yet deeply melodic work. Blending cello, voice, synthesizers, and electroacoustic textures, she builds songs that move between improvisation, ambient soundscapes, and off-kilter pop forms. Emerging from Mexico City's improvisational and experimental scene, she has become a key voice in contemporary avant-pop. Bill Orcutt is an American guitarist and composer known for his raw, highly individual approach to improvisation. A co-founder of the 1990s noise-rock duo Harry Pussy, he helped shape a fiercely abrasive aesthetic that drew from no wave, hardcore punk, and free jazz. Often playing a four-string guitar in unconventional tunings, he combines shards of melody, sudden silences, and surging rhythmic bursts, creating music that feels both primitive and structurally intricate. In parallel with his work as a guitarist, he runs the Palilalia and Fake Estates imprints and develops his own audio software, continuing to blur lines between avant-garde experimentation, song form, and DIY practice. Almost Waking: 'I had known about Bill's music for a while: since his 2017 release under his own name. I connected a lot with his music and I had no idea that years later we would be collaborating! It was a total surprise that we started chatting on the internet of collaborating! We bounced ideas back and forth, all starting with a series of guitar solo stuff that Bill sent me.' Guitar by Bill Orcutt, Cello and vocals by Mabe Fratti, Except tracks 1,3,4 and 6 that were written by Bill Orcutt & Mabe Fratti with contributions on the cello arrangement by I.La Católica. Recorded at Tinho Studios in CDMX and in the Living Room in San Francisco. Mixed by Santiago Parra. Mastered by James Plotkin. Special thanks to I.La Católoica who contributed with great aura, ideas and feedback at Tinho Studios."

"Multi-national trio Riviera Gaz (Gustavo Riviera of Forgotten Boys, Paulo Kishimoto of Pitty, Forgotten Boys, and Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth) have pieced together a psychedelic collective consciousness where fuzzy riffs, glam rock energy, fearless studio experimentation, and Can-inspired grooves all melt together to form new unstable elements. The group's second album Catacroma elevates their sound even further, intentionally avoiding sterile digital recording crutches and instead using extensive editing and mixing to shape the songs into sprawling cosmic experiences. The album is a hall of fun house mirrors where killer songs break apart and come back together organically, never taking expected turns and always ending up somewhere even more interesting than where they began."

Details marks SCHiLLiNG's return after years of research, above all on himself. It brings together the practices that have become essential to him: composition, sampling, sonic patchworks, and a palette that mirrors the full spectrum of his musical identity, from rock'n'roll to trip-hop and ambient. Details is rich in small edits, hidden layers, fragile textures, and fragments that reveal themselves slowly. Yet the word carries a deeper meaning: what truly matters is often the smallest element, what doesn't appear clearly at first glance or on first listen, yet quietly holds the core of everything. The detail as the very pulse of one's inner world. Across 14 tracks, the album unfolds as a diverse journey, carefully shaped yet open enough to allow unexpected elements and subtle imperfections to remain part of its flow. The structure is not binding, you can begin from any track and embark on your own path through it. Each piece contributes to a wider arc without overpowering the others. The album includes collaborations with several artists who lent their talent to the project; their names appear in the credits of the physical release. In many ways, they embody the very idea behind the title: individual presences, each bringing their own nuance, forming a whole together. After all, fragments, in their union, shape the larger totality. Details doesn't ask to be consumed in a specific way, fast or slow, close or distant. It simply is what it is.

White color vinyl. Sababa 5 continues their musical journey following the success of their acclaimed self-titled debut album, which fused deep funk and Middle Eastern grooves. This offering, still under the Batov Records label, ventures into more explorative and experimental instrumental compositions. While evolving their musical direction, Aspan delves into the realm of psychedelic rock while retaining the essence of the band's signature Middle Eastern groove. In recent times, Sababa 5's talent has gained recognition on prominent French radio stations such as Radio Nova and FIP. Their tracks have become regular features on BBC Radio 6 Music, drawing the attention of notable figures and emerging talents like Gilles Peterson, Cerys Mathews, Jamz Supernova, Gideon Coe, and Deb Grant. Leading music publication Songlines has praised the band's "slick precision" and the captivating elements they infuse, ranging from "Moog synth licks" to "flavors reminiscent of Wes Montgomery-style guitar." The origin of the title stems from a misinterpretation of an upcoming storm named Alpis that proved to be milder than anticipated. The name resonated, resulting in several tracks adopting storm-related titles. Concluding the album is "Indra," a laidback composition that stands as its most serene offering. This track's fusion of psychedelic folk rock is poised to capture the hearts of many, serving as a poignant postscript to the bittersweet conclusion of summer -- a narrative of love discovered and lost.

"Prison's third big one, Big Rigs on the BQE, finds the jammers of legend far away -- miles from Downstate (2025) and Upstate (2023): driving further down the road, Prison's guitar, bass and drums compel them to dream LOUD. An improvised rock and roll tapestry, multiple impulses, intersections and lifelines rended with gas 'n guitar pedal on down to the metal. Reflecting real lives lived today, sprawled and recalled in undulating electroacoustic performance. On March 7th 2024, Prison vets Sarim Al-Rawi, Matt Lilly, and Paul Major on guitars and drums were joined by Mike Donovan on fuzz organ, percussionist Ryan Sawyer and Downstate's Matt Leibowitz (back on bass, and synth too this time) at a Sunset Park studio where they could see the fucking highway from the studio windows. It kind of set the tone. Downstate guitarist Adam Reich switched it up too; as studio honcho/engineer/mixer, he scored a couple FX/remix passages that are of the performance on both sides. Big Rigs on the BQE is the sound of Sarim, Matt, Paul, Mike, Ryan, Matt and Adam in wicked battle and glorious play, a far-ranging scrum of Groundhogs/Velvets/Hampton's/Pink Fairies/Magic Band/ Good Rats/Can propositions powering guitars, bass, drums and organ (and synth!) that day: a beast, imagining a better allegory for qualities of the 'spirit of the jam/road trip' duality. Paul and Sarim's vocal shouts transmit a kind of road-thoughts as they come, circular processing loosely knotted loops in different ranges and a couple different levels! These are deep, searing, multipurpose jams. Big Rigs on the BQE is a kind of travelogue, two side-long trips that take flight and fight another day in the never-ending process. It's a beautiful opportunity to send new blasts of positive energy out to the world. Prison of one, freedom of many!"

"Time stands stunningly still on The Final Painting, the dreamy, elegiac final album from legendary underground singer-songwriter/poet/painter Ed Askew. Ed started his singing career in 1968 with a self-titled LP release on NYC's infamous freejazz/free-folk ESP-Disk' label. Upon returning to New York in the early '80s, he began circulating cassettes of his self-recorded new songs. This was a fascinating and unlikely new chapter in his music, but only a few noticed. In the years following, additional new and archival Askew recordings have been released through Tin Angel, Drag City and Improved Sequence Records. By the time Ed turned 80 in 2020, his health was declining to the point that touring was impossible and even leaving his place was a challenge. In his Brooklyn apartment, he continued to tape new songs, posting them on his Bandcamp page. Their stark and fragile quality was singular, inspiring thoughts of a new production fleshing out Ed's two-track home recordings. Ed was into it; he forwarded nearly three dozen songs in different stages of completion and the two plotted a path forward. For the World featured acoustic piano, banjo and harp; the songs here, played by Ed on keyboards, synth and harmonica suggested trumpet, tenor saxophone and other sonic touches to expand their existentially lonely sound. Health scares for both men delayed things until early 2024, when various musicians recorded their parts either at home or in a Nashville Studio, with Styrofoam Winos' Trevor Nikrant and Ryan Davis's Roadhouse Band taking their turns almost in response to one another. The Final Painting not only defies the curse of sequels and the ten-year gap between the two DeCicca/Askew productions, it's also a wonderous variation on the intimacy of the self-portrait, an expression from the twilight of one of the most unique artists to emerge in last half of the 20th century. The Final Painting reinvites For the World contributors Sharon Van Etten, Eve Searls, and Canaan Faulkner, and new guests Bill Callahan, William Tyler, Ryan Jewell, Dustin Laurenzi, and Fulvio Sigurta. In their last conversation, just days before Ed passed in January 2025, he and Jerry agreed to: a) use the painting left on the easel of Ed's now-empty apartment and b) call the album The Final Painting. Profoundly resonant in the style of Frank Sinatra's Watertown and David Bowie's Blackstar, The Final Painting is faithful to the spirit of Ed Askew and his DIY nature and Modernist values, pursued for years and years throughout life, art and music, all the way to the very end."

"Sir Richard Bishop returns for a new spontaneous six-string meshing of people's music, recollections and psychic intentions. Are y'all ready for some Hillbilly Erotica? Migration from last album's Ragas to this new Erotica is another chapter in Bishop's progress, drifting via songs into the further frontiers of his pappy's hometown sounds, trancing over and out in their hand-me-down clothes. As with the ragas, the 'rotica's hung round the neck of John Fahey's infamous dubbing of certain traditional American folk sounds as 'American Primitive.' A perfectly good thought, but Sir Richard picks his own axe and chose a separate path. Rushing through gutters and picking pickled brains in the saucy headwaters of the down-low and literal American primitive, his hillbilly music is a mash of brined cultural inheritance, mini-ragas and moonshine-drunk savagery breaking out on the frets. As a conception for Sir Rick's acoustic guitar music, it's a dynamite means and frame, centering his improvisations in a place overflown with pagan desire and unbound in deliverance. Here he flies up and down the neck, his manner less pristine, yet more exquisite, a flailing, flowing-on-the-river medley through stubborn whitewater turbulence, post-grass and folk's classical gas. Anybody who takes a snort of this here Hillbilly Erotica will find a frankly spellbinding richness of intent and execution in their ear-mouths. And may thereafter find brain and blightness. It's fine! Like with Hillbilly Ragas, Sir Richard plays one acoustic guitar on all eight Hillbilly Erotica cuts, no overdubs and, but for the closing 'Postcoital Serenade,' improvised entirely. The not-so-sexy 'sexy' angle of song titles like 'Lick Skillet,' 'Sweet Lips,' 'Hookers Bend,' and 'Finger, Tennessee' is actually actual names for dots on the map in rural TN, each one just five minutes removed -- by horse, of course -- from Richard's dad's remote Enville homestead, its town name purloined previously for a song on 2020's Oneiric Formulary. This ancestral interzone's a venue of interest for Rick, allowing him to ask the deep questions, like 'What the hell has been going on around here with place names like these?' while running down the changes like no one else before. Hillbilly Erotica promises unspoken wonders of the world around each and every dark corner, revelations of legacy, a new spyglass to sight your forebears! Imagined American music at its most gorgeous and violent, simply achieved by Sir Richard Bishop through a powerful application of steel-stringed instrumentation and delightfully exhaustive flights of speculative thought."

Sublime frequencies from the golden era of ambient electronica. Plumbing hidden depths beneath a deceptively tranquil surface, MLO's mid-'90s masterpiece Io is an overlooked gem from a golden era for ambient electronic music. Originally released in 1994, Jon Tye and Pete Smith's collaborative album responded to the growing chill-out movement by leaning into classical and avant-garde influences from Satie, Debussy, and Cage through to Soft Machine, Incredible String Band, and Eno. Recorded across various studios stacked with classic and rare synths, Io was patiently composed into slowly unfolding suites punctuated with ripples of arrhythmic interference to arrive at a purist vision of true ambient. The next instalment in Forever Records' ongoing reissue series shines a light back on this landmark piece of UK electronica with the first official reissue since its original edition on Rising High. As well as the original double LP (FRVR 003LP) pressing and a new CD digipak version, there is also a uniquely numbered, limited edition housed in a gatefold sleeve that comes with a bonus 10" featuring two previously unreleased versions of the album's opening cut, "Wimborne" (FRVR 003LTD-LP).

Geometrik Records once again plays a part in the exclusive recovery of Marcelo Expósito's previously unpublished work, which had been lost since its original creation in the 1980s. Marcelo Expósito is one of Spain's most internationally renowned contemporary artists, whose work is regularly exhibited across Europe and Latin America. He began his career at a very young age during the era of sound experimentation that flourished in the wake of so-called industrial culture, which found particularly fertile ground in Spain. As co-editor of legendary publications such as the fanzine Experiencias (1983) and, above all, the cassette-fanzine publisher Necronomicón (1983?1987), which operated on an international scale, Marcelo Expósito has, in recent years, been reconstructing those of his sound experiments that had been lost for decades. This album brings together material previously released on cassettes as EGK023 in a very limited edition. These tracks have now been remastered and expanded to complete this record, which noise musician Mattin has described as "secret recordings that constitute a gem from the rich Spanish underground of the 1980s." In the words of Luis Alvarado, editor of the Peruvian label Buh Records, this album "allows us to appreciate how Expósito developed a style of his own that understood sound as a malleable material open to chance. The recordings gathered on The Lost Tapes reveal an artist who moves as much through territories of unsettling textures and atmospheres as through zones of abstraction and radical noise." Influenced by the early work of figures such as Maurizio Bianchi, Nurse With Wound, and La Otra Cara de un Jardín, the release of this album provides a key piece in reconstructing the genealogical puzzle of Spanish experimental music. This carefully curated edition -- in Spanish and English -- includes a lengthy essay by Marcelo Expósito on the creative processes behind his work and the historical context of the industrial culture of the 1970s and 1980s, as well as extensive liner notes contributed by Vittore Baroni, editor of the legendary Italian label Trax; Francisco Felipe, co-founder of the Ars Sonora program on Radio Clásica (Radio Nacional de España) and one of the most active names on the Spanish experimental scene of the 1980s; Mattin and Susana López (Susan Drone), key figures in the sound experimentation of the generation that emerged in the 2000s; as well as the aforementioned Luis Alvarado.

When Eleh's debut Floating Frequencies/Intuitive Synthesis I was originally released it was praised as a powerful piece of new electronic minimalism. Twenty years later the artist's legacy has grown while Eleh continues to hypnotize new listeners with time stopping music. Critics, fans and neurologists have praised the music of Eleh as aiding attention and focus while seeming to slow time. Eleh's slow change drones are a state of flow hypnotizing listeners into meditative focus. From the original packaging: "Pure Sound. Pure Volume. Pure Analog. Dedicated To La Monte Young." Eleh began in 1999 as an exploration of analog synthesis, emphasizing low frequency difference tones and other resonant acoustic phenomena. Eleh highlights the physical presence of sound as it has been inspired by the physical world. There is also something "cathedral-like" and cosmos-inducing in the sound constructed by Eleh. This audiophile quality presentation of Eleh's debut album was mastered by Tom Eaton at Sounds And Substance and manufactured at Optimal in Germany for the lowest possible noise floor and the highest analog resolution. Packaged using a 5th color metallic shimmer ink on solid black board stock.
"Nuances of sound turn symphonic." --New York Times
"Eleh's sounds move by stealth and are sculpted from the world rather than from ego. Eleh is not a personality; Eleh is an idea about sound. Eleh forces you to contemplate the cosmos and your place in it." --Gramophone
"Eleh demonstrates how a single amplified gesture delivered just so can reveal the inner workings of an entire cosmos." --Tony Herrington/Wire

2026 repress on yellow vinyl. Flirty Ghost is an evocative LP by Rachel Kitchlew, a jazz and contemporary harpist known for pushing the boundaries of her instrument. A blend of jazz, ambient, and experimental sounds, the album was crafted in a spontaneous, deeply personal atmosphere, recorded late at night in the cozy, smoky setting of SFJ headquarters featuring Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip), Dave Bardon, SFJ, and Sholto. Inspired by everything from Henry Mancini to Dorothy Ashby, this LP captures an eerie, playful essence, like a "flirty ghost," while celebrating exploration and self-expression. The album holds emotional depth, particularly in tracks like "Truncate" and "Cyclical," which were recorded shortly after the passing of Rachel's grandmother, Sheila Horton, whose work is featured on the back cover. With the collaboration of close friends and talented musicians, Flirty Ghost represents a new chapter for Rachel, marking a joyful departure from her solo harp work into a collective, experimental musical journey.

Renascent marks the long-awaited return of legendary Manchester outfit The Durutti Column, their first new studio album in over fifteen years, produced by Keir Stewart. Around the guitar work of Vini Reilly, the album plays between sonic atmospherics and structure: warm ambient washes, piano, beats and guest vocal turns by a new generation (Caoilfhionn Rose on "Agonistes" and Lucas Elliot on CD bonus track "All they See is Fire"). Both contemporary and otherworldly, and with a swathe of new champions citing the band as an influence (Blood Orange, Harry Styles, The Avalanches, Mark William Lewis), Renascent is a timely and vital rebirth for The Durutti Column. Artwork by long-time collaborators 8vo. CD features an exclusive additional bonus track "All They See is Fire." Also available on 1LP yellow standard edition (LMS 1725759) and 1LP coke bottle green deluxe edition (LMS 1725760) with exclusive alternative artwork, gatefold sleeve and large format 12-page booklet.

Second album of French incendiary fake big band Parasite Jazz. A krautrock, jazz-non-jazz, experimental album recorded along four seasons by three musicians (Alex Larsen, Tamara Goukassova, and Théo Delaunay) from the French fringes; members of Succhiamo, Diagonale des Yeux, Simple Music Experience, and Violent Quand on Aime. Featuring Radio Hito, Kyle Knapp (Deliluh), and Hochiwah. After its first release in 2023, the tiny big band Parasite Jazz brings its public iterations to fruition with this testament to an alternate reality, matured voyaging across France over the span of four seasons. It sees the music flee through exuberant forests and steep troglodytes; a parallel genre movie with a soundtrack of diluvian rhythms, mocking chants, jazz noir and voodoo accidents. In this shifting, autonomous world, the elastic orchestra -- whose members keep on appearing and disappearing -- plays for nocturnal secrets and feverish cavalcades.

Creator of Le Châ, a chimera emerging from the margins, Lutèce Lockness builds worlds where dreamlike imagery and satire intertwine, inviting listeners to embrace the bizarre, the strange, and the intimate. With her debut album Le Châ, she crafts powerful, incantatory soundscapes. Her compositions blend psychedelic tones, medieval timbres, drifting drones, bouzouki improvisations, and digital textures, enriched through collaborations with Christoph Fink, Maxime Denuc, and Jean Rondeau. Inspired by David Lynch, Jim Jarmusch, and Hayao Miyazaki, her practice shapes sonic material like exquisite corpses. Across disciplines, Lutèce Lockness explores new territories through projects such as the collective book Bande organisée (Seuil), born from the transport of a stone book across France during lockdown, and as part of the feminist punk group Forsissies. On stage, she has opened for Bonnie Banane at the Olympia and Flavien Berger at Le Lieu Unique in Nantes.

Human Error Club is keyboardists Diego Gaeta and Jesse Justice and drummer Mekala Session. Gaeta is a jazz-trained pianist with a restless harmonic imagination. Justice honed his chops making beats before trading his MPC for a Fender Rhodes, always maintaining a producer's ear for texture and detail. Session, raised in Los Angeles' Leimert Park, studied under the legendary drummer Billy Higgins, and also leads the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra. All hailing from different corners of LA, these longtime musician friends came together in 2019 as a solution to a recurring dilemma: good bassists are hard to find. What was originally meant to be a one-off for the underground series BackbeatLA turned into a regular thing, and soon the trio was in the studio recording what would become their debut album.

Anthony Hüseyin presents their new album O Geliyor (Making O), in which they return to the rediscovery of their gender, their childhood, and their attachment to Zeki Müren. Müren is widely regarded as the most important queer exponent in the history of Turkish Art Music (Türk Sanat Müzigi). This genre of music was open to musical hybridism, and Müren himself also included elements of jazz and pop music. Stylistically, O Geliyor (Making O) is a combination of contemporary discoid electro-pop music, based on Turkish Art Music by Zeki Müren. After successful current re-interpretations of Turkish music styles like neo-Anatolian pop and neo-Arabesk, this album provides a first take on neo-Turkish Art Music. The album title is referring to the third genderless person pronoun in Turkish called "O," which encompasses all gender possibilities in one word. The album reflects on the memories that haunt people and the indescribable wounds of displacement. Set against the backdrop of Berlin, home to many immigrants and political and queer refugees, it exposes the profound emptiness in a metropolis wishing to imagine itself as a safe haven for the free-spirited, yet always reminding the Other that they don't belong. At the same time, it delivers anthems for the displaced, for the queer migrants who traverse internal and external landscapes in search of a place called home. Anthony Hüseyin is a non-binary musician and performance artist of Kurdish-Turkish and Arabic descent who works with voice, text, film, dance, and installation. Raised in Urfa in Southeastern Turkey, where they learned traditional local music, they went on to study both classical and jazz singing in Istanbul and Rotterdam. Their works combine the personal and political to explore memory, identity, community, collective consciousness, and the body.

The legends of the golden era of Italian soundtracks and library music go by many names, but the backbone of that era's definitive sonic identity is most often identified as I Marc 4 (also known as Marc 4 or I Marc Quattro). While the moniker might be less familiar to the uninitiated, it is a simple acronym derived from its founding members: Maurizio Majorana (bass), Antonello Vannucchi (organ), Roberto Podio (drums and percussion), and Carlo Pes (guitar). The number 4 serves to highlight the core synergy of these four master musicians. Their journey began in Rome's vibrant jazz scene of the 1950s and early 1960s, where they honed their craft as members of the RAI national orchestra and collaborated with the most prominent jazz and pop icons of the day. However, it was their pivotal role in defining the Italian cinematic sound of the 1960s and 1970s that secured their legacy. Their unmistakable style was an eclectic fusion of beat, jazz, classical, and Latin influences -- textured with early synthesizers, experimental sound effects, and a blend of electronic and baroque instrumentation. Beyond their work as session luminaries, they produced a vast body of library music under their own name at the legendary Telecinesound Studios in Rome. These recordings were released through prestigious library labels like Sermi, Ricordi, and Fonit Cetra, as well as through their own imprints: Nelson Records, Silver Men, and Silver Music, spanning a definitive series of sixteen albums. Ten of these volumes were issued on Nelson Records during the 1970s, featuring the now-iconic military stencil design. The series was completed by two elusive companion releases: S.M. 2001 on Silver Music and S.M. 2002 on Silver Men, both presented in the same distinctive brown sleeve. Rediscovered in the 1990s and 2000s, these Nelson releases have since achieved cult status among collectors, producers, and DJs worldwide. The final two installments, S.M. 2001 and S.M. 2002, remain the rarest and most enigmatic of the set. Often overlooked, they contain some of the most profound "hidden gems" in the group's catalog. Sonor Music Editions has meticulously curated the finest moments from these two rare albums for this first-ever dedicated reissue. Bringing together the best of Silver Music (S.M. 2001) and Silver Men (S.M. 2002), this release retains the iconic stencil artwork but introduces a striking silver finish. This design choice honors the original ten-album sequence while shedding new light on these outstanding recordings -- works that remain, in every sense, golden.

Performed by Stephan Ginsburgh. A European premiere of piano pieces and recordings by American minimalist composer David Toub. Two powerful pieces that propel him among the most adventurous composers of recent years. "'Gendarme de la Libertad' (2020) is a work for speaker and piano (or for just speaking pianist) and utilizes a text that I had wanted to set for many years but was not certain of the best approach until later. The text for the speaker is taken from the original Spanish words, as well as from an English translation, of the speech by Dr. Ernesto Guevara (Che) before the United Nations on 12/11/64 : 'Those who kill their own children and discriminate daily against them because of the color of their skin; those who let the murderers of Blacks remain free, protecting them, and furthermore punishing the Black population because they demand their legitimate rights as free men - how can those who do this consider themselves guardians of freedom?' 'Duophony' for open instrumentation (2020) is one of the few works I've composed in which there are no silences at all (except at the beginning and ending of the piece, as per my custom to start and end on empty measures, which is my own tribute to Quaker culture and practice in which meetings begin with a moment of silence)." David Toub is a unique voice in American minimalism, a genre that has produced quite a few composers over the past 80 years. Stephane Ginsburgh has performed as a soloist and chamber musician at numerous international festivals. A tireless explorer of both repertoire and new combinations integrating voice, percussion, performance, or electronics, he dedicated himself early on to contemporary music while also developing an extensive classical repertoire. He has worked closely with composers such as Frederic Rzewski, Jean-Luc Fafchamps, Stefan Prins, Joanna Bailie, Alec Hall, François Sarhan, and Matthew Shlomowitz, premiering several of their works. Stéphane Ginsburgh has recorded around fifteen albums for Sub Rosa, World Edition, Grand Piano (Naxos), and Kairos.

Aborym's 2003 album, With No Human Intervention, marks a key moment in European industrial black metal. Compared to their debut, the band pushes the fusion of black metal and industrial electronics even further, creating a colder, more mechanical, and chaotic sound. The extreme guitars and signature black metal vocals intertwine with drum machines, abrasive synths, and digital noises, giving the impression of an almost "dehumanized" music, as the title suggests. The atmosphere is dystopian and aggressive, far removed from more traditional metal: it focuses not on melody but on a dense and oppressive sonic impact, where everything seems filtered through a technological lens. In short, it's an album that pushes the idea of black metal to the extreme, bringing it into an industrial and cyberpunk universe, becoming one of the band's most iconic works. Also available on red/black splatter color vinyl (SSR 170LTD-LP).

The project was born from the meeting of a live-played, unprocessed Game Boy and a distorted guitar. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Riccardo Gamondi (of Uochi Toki), Gom Jabbar delivers eight tracks of low-resolution violence, interspersed with ambient soundscapes. The lyrics explore the dystopia of contemporary capitalism. This approach extends beyond the music itself: the band embraces copyleft licenses and carries this stance into its distribution and touring choices.

"Four years near the beginning of the last decade, William Cashion and Bruce Willen created quietly radiant instrumental music from two tessellated guitars, a few modest synths, and a slew of percussive and noisy toys, like walkie-talkies or the things that gave the pair their handle, bells. This 2016 live recording is taken from the band's next-to-last show, at least for now, cut in an artist-run space called The Compound in their hometown of Baltimore. Peals is the project of two bassists known best for their other livewire and loud Baltimore bands: Future Islands for Cashion, Double Dagger for Willen. Technically, Double Dagger -- an absolutely electrifying post-punk trio -- had reached its end just as Cashion and Willen began talking about trying to make music together, but that context never really mattered. Peals emerged at an inconvenient moment for their sort of instrumental wonder. The noisy international explorations of great acts like Yellow Swans, Growing, and Fuck Buttons (all duos, mind you) had mostly subsided before Peals played their first show in April 2012. And the current bloom in New Age and ambient music was very much still germinating, those terms still catching substantial side-eye from arbiters of acceptability. That was steadily changing, however, as Peals offered this set in September 2016, with the United States unknowingly at the edge of successive upheavals that would increasingly make such sounds feel like requisite medicine. Writing to you from 2026, then, this recording does not feel at all out-of-time, like some overlooked gem that was simply swallowed by its moment. It sounds relevant, welcoming, welcome. These 38 seamless minutes have clear predecessors: Manuel Göttsching's E2-E4, Cluster and Eno's Cologne dalliances, the way Midwest emo could sound smarter than its lyrics read. I hear bits of old spirituals and Appalachian banjo music, too, nested inside the guitars. But the way Cashion and Willen stitched it all together ignored any rules of what this music was supposed to be, so that very gentle passages abutted joyously jarring ones, so that the saxophone line that unexpectedly offers the denouement here feels as though it were birthed by a symphony of chattering guitars. It's a sound meant for you to inhabit, to take a walk around, to notice." -- Grayson Haver Currin

"Master, We Perish's deluxe reissue is newly remastered and expanded. The Body's landmark record Master, We Perish, originally released in 2013, found the acclaimed duo at a crossroads in their career. Recorded just before the duo of drummer Lee Buford and guitarist/vocalist Chip King were leaving their longtime home of Providence for Portland and released in between their breakthrough albums All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood and Christs, Redeemers, Master expanded on the duo's love of layered worldbuilding with more precision and a stronger emphasis on percussive samples than ever before. The seeds of the duo's celebrated collaborative inclination are evident as the album features Assembly of Light Choir leader Chrissy Wolpert, choir member Reba Mitchell, Otesanek vocalist Leslie Weitz, and guitarist David Lifrieri. With the expanded edition, the album's striking cover painting by Providence mainstay Manifester aka Matt Brinkman (Mindflayer, Forcefield) is finally rendered in its original form. Master, We Perish is expanded with rare bonus tracks from The Body's early days, taken from a pair of rare 7" singles 'Cop Killer/Dead Cops' as well as a split with Get Killed. These storied singles mark the first time the band truly pushed the boundaries of sound in the studio and on record. It also marks the beginning of The Body's practice of wielding the studio as a veritable weapon to translate their gargantuan sound with deeper impact on LP. The results are not only pushing the capacity of the album format but are sonically riveting. The bonus material was recorded at Machines with Magnets."
"Master, We Perish lashes at perceived and much-debated divisions between metal and noise so hard and so fast that its tremendous squall and anthemic structures might actually be the sound of those fortified seams splintering -- every bit as exhilarating and intimidating as you might hope" --Pitchfork

Tra Tra Trax presents Mzansi Bass, curated by Shannen SP. A project meant to explore the space between 3-step, Gqom, the dark sides of Amapiano, and mutations of Pritori rap deeply rooted in Black African rave music from the local scenes of Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Eastern Cape, and their global mutations from Brazil and the Netherlands. The project is anchored around the legacy act of DJ Lag and new comers of South African bass whose music has broken international barriers with pure-emotionally-rich dance music. The release works as both a celebration of the roots and the future offering it projects. As Shannen puts it, it's electronic music with a futuristic feel, both raw but minimal, trance-inducing and deeply physical, built in a very particular geographic space for the whole world to enjoy. Indulge into this special soundscapes crafted by their own inhabitants. Featuring HENNYBELIT, State OFFF, LYZZA, Boniface, Jay Music, Deep Narratives, and Audio Addicts.

33-33 present Ton Klami, a rare live recording from one of East Asia's most remarkable improvising ensembles, bringing together Japanese pianist Masahiko Satoh, Korean saxophonist Kang Tae-Hwan and Japanese percussionist Midori Takada. Recorded during a memorial concert for the influential critic and producer Soejima Teruto, the album documents a unique meeting between three pioneering artists whose individual careers helped redefine the possibilities of improvised and experimental music across Japan and Korea from the late twentieth century onwards. Masahiko Satoh is one of the most influential figures in post-war Japanese jazz and experimental music. Across a career spanning more than six decades, he has continually expanded the possibilities of improvisation through work encompassing jazz, contemporary composition, electronic music and interdisciplinary collaboration. Kang Tae Hwan is a foundational figure in Korean free improvisation and one of the most distinctive saxophonists to emerge from East Asia. His radical approach to breath, tone and extended technique has influenced generations of improvisers internationally. Midori Takada is internationally celebrated for her groundbreaking work as a percussionist and composer. Her recordings and performances have profoundly shaped contemporary understandings of minimalism, rhythm and environmental sound, earning renewed global recognition in recent years. Ton Klami reflects 33-33's ongoing commitment to uncovering overlooked histories within experimental music. Through a catalogue spanning contemporary commissions, archival recordings and cross-cultural collaborations, the label seeks to create new contexts for significant work that sits beyond conventional genre boundaries. In bringing this recording back into circulation, 33-33 continues its wider exploration of artistic exchange between Japan, Korea and the international avant-garde. A rare document of spontaneous dialogue between pioneering improvisers Masahiko Satoh, Kang Tae-Hwan and Midori Takada, exploring tension, texture and space through cross-cultural experimental sound.

Few artists have expanded the possibilities of the voice as radically and masterfully as Berlin based voice artist, composer and improvisor Ute Wassermann. For her, the voice is an ecosystem: a living field of relationships between body, object, space, and the listener's ear. Her music moves between the transcendental and the quotidian at once -- breath as ritual, sound as touch, acoustic experience as something simultaneously otherworldly and utterly present. Dissolving the perceived boundaries between mind and body, she offers instead a full-bodied immersion in ever-changing stillness, an idiosyncratic engagement with sound that is all-at-once fierce, tender, and free. On her new album chimeric, Wassermann extends her voice with a wide array of implements; breath-driven drums, hydrophones used as throat microphones, bird whistles, jaw harps, brass megaphones. These objects don't just function as embellishments or demonstrations, but rather, as companions -- materials with which she communicates and is herself transformed. The result is a music in which the lines between self, object, and environment are constantly blurred, erased and redrawn. Across six pieces, Wassermann's voice moves with uncanny immediacy: lips smacked, gurgles roared, harmonic tails snapping through space. Recorded with a striking spatial presence -- using stereo microphone placement that allows sound to shift with the smallest movement -- the listener is placed almost between the ears of the performer, inside the throat's resonant chambers as it flickers from whisper to warning, from animal cry to sculptural multiphonic bloom. What emerges is not theatrical representation but embodiment: a confrontational tenderness, a call to arms meant for hugging. Steam valves and pistons of breath cycle into quick rhythmic stabs; ritual supplants noise, noise tilts into song. Wassermann reverses the trained control of the voice to discover empowerment in growls, screams, baby-animal whines, and undersea calls. These are song forms not as fixed structures, but as living organisms -- colorful tendrils of sound, improvisation as feedback between inner listening and the outside world. In the album's final movements, her voice becomes something both larger than a person and tinier: an army of intimacies, gnawing at the root, feeding. chimeric is an album teeming with vivid colors and transcendental beauty that reveals the voice as a truly limitless instrument.Deluxe LP housed pressed at Optimal, Germany housed in die-cut neon spot-color sleeve with spot UV gloss with two full color inserts and printed inner sleeve.

"Billy Fury remains one of the most important and charismatic figures in the history of British rock 'n' roll. Born Ronald Wycherley in Liverpool in 1940, he was a shy young songwriter who transformed almost overnight into a national sensation after a chance meeting with impresario Larry Parnes in 1958. Parnes, impressed by both Fury's original material and striking presence, signed him immediately, setting in motion a career that would define the sound and style of pre-Beatles British pop. Fury possessed a rare versatility: he could deliver energetic, American-influenced rock 'n' roll with conviction, yet switch effortlessly to tender, emotionally charged ballads. His voice -- smooth, yearning, and capable of surprising dramatic power -- made him one of the most distinctive singers of his generation. During the early 1960s, he became a fixture on the UK charts, achieving an extraordinary run of hits that placed him just behind Cliff Richard and The Shadows in chart appearances for the decade. His tours, which often featured young Merseybeat acts such as the Beatles in support slots, played a vital role in shaping the emerging British pop landscape. The Hit Parade Hero 1959-62 brings together the defining recordings from his most influential early years. Side A captures his breakthrough and rapid rise with tracks like 'Maybe Tomorrow,' 'Margo, Don't Go,' 'That's Love,' and the atmospheric fan favorite 'Wondrous Place,' a song that perfectly showcases his moody, intimate vocal style. The side also highlights his early experimentation with teen-pop and rockabilly influences. Side B presents the full force of Fury's hit-making period, including the majestic ballad 'Halfway to Paradise,' the dramatic 'Jealousy,' and the polished romantic pop of 'Last Night Was Made for Love' and 'Once Upon a Dream.' Together, these tracks form a definitive portrait of an artist who helped shape British popular music -- passionate, stylish, and timeless."

Released in 1974, Zuckerzeit marks a clear turning point in Cluster's work, introducing shorter formats and a more defined rhythmic framework. The increased use of drum machines and structured sequencing sets it apart from the duo's earlier, more diffuse recordings, while maintaining a focus on texture and tone. Developed in close proximity to Michael Rother and under increasingly independent production conditions, the album establishes a more direct and accessible approach without simplifying its underlying ideas. This standard edition makes the album available again on CD and vinyl following the previous limited anniversary release. A key recording in Cluster's catalogue, capturing a pivotal moment of transition and refinement. In 1974, Cluster entered the sugar era. Many a thing had changed for band members Moebius and Roedelius since Cluster II: They had moved from boisterous Berlin to this calm rural village, they had founded the band Harmonia, had set up their own studio and had bought new equipment. As a result of this and many other things, new impulses were noticeably spurring the evolution of their music. The album Zuckerzeit ("sugar era") launched a revolution for Cluster. Strictly speaking, Zuckerzeit is not really an album by Cluster. More precisely, the LP contains two mini solo albums by Moebius and Roedelius. Those who were familiar with the stylistic peculiarities of the two musicians could easily relate the solo pieces to either one of them. As Roedelius and Moebius had not yet released any solo works by the time, it was actually not possible to draw up any comparisons yet. Zuckerzeit is light and cheerful, freed from the Germanic gravity and the mystic incense fumes that were so fashionable at the time. Cluster managed to keep both feet on the ground without becoming plain or even sterile. The friendliness of the music is clearly due to the two personalities of Roedelius and Moebius; its down-to-earth character possibly comes from Michael Rother, the album's coproducer. When comparing Zuckerzeit to the works of other electronic combos produced at the same time, it is first of all the shortness of the tracks that seems most striking. The fact that Cluster worked in such a calm and collected way, that they concentrated on their musical ideas instead of losing themselves in long-windedness -- all this taken together gave way to the creation of electronic miniatures that sounded as extraordinary in the 1970s as they still do today.

"Two decades into their existence, Elder remain an anomaly in the heavy underground -- a band with the ability to absorb and shed influences from a myriad of genres without falling into pastiche or losing their identity. New album Through Zero is a reaffirmation of their commitment to pushing boundaries and cements their status as leaders in heavy psychedelic rock. Elder has long since mastered crushing riffs, melodic jaunts, progressive patterns, hypnotic grooves and ethereal atmospherics. Recorded in Berlin between tours in 2025, Through Zero is possibly their most immediate and engaging record to date, allowing seeds from outside the sphere of rock music to take root and bloom within their progressive framework. Listeners will find new textures, sequences and sounds woven into Elder's endlessly bombastic take on heavy rock. Elder was formed in a small coastal town in Massachusetts around 2006 by three longtime friends with a passion for down-tuned heavy music. Over the years, the band has gained a guitarist, lost a drummer, relocated (mostly) from the United States to Germany, played hundreds of shows from small clubs to arenas across the world and released six full-length albums, four EPs and two live records. 'Through Zero' is a term borrowed from music engineering, which describes the property of a frequency being able to pass through the zero point and continue into the negative. While not a concept rooted in philosophy, it resonates on an existential level: the zero point is not an end, but a midpoint along a mostly unseeable path where the journey is the destination and reality is less linear than most of us understand."

Originally self-produced in 150 copies (on by Le Kiosque d'Orphée in 1977), Mar-Vista's only album is one of France's most strange and radical records.. The story of Mar-Vista begins in northern France, in Lille, in the early 1970s, with the meeting of two music enthusiasts: Claude Cuvelier and Jean Skowron. They connected through Claude's brother. At that time, Jean was already standing out at blues concerts for his singular sonic approach: he placed microphones inside suitcases that he struck to produce raw, primitive sounds -- an experimental process that immediately impressed Claude. A shared vision quickly took shape: to create repetitive, atmospheric music, freed from traditional formats. In 1973, they gave birth to Mar-Vista, with the desire to compose long, immersive works, sometimes built around a single chord, in the spirit of Balinese music. The duo gradually equipped themselves: a Mini Korg in 1972, a Yamaha synthesizer, a Farfisa organ, and even a drum machine discovered by chance during a television appearance by Henri Salvador. The home studio became their creative sanctuary. Jean worked on a 4-track Teac tape recorder, Claude on a Philips model. Each freely composed their own side of the future album, while collaborating on each other's ideas. Side A, led by Jean, is more rooted in the progressive electronic music of the time, influenced by Heldon, Amon Düül, and Soft Machine. Side B, bearing more of Claude's imprint and his influences (Terry Riley, La Monte Young), is far more experimental and consists of a 22-minute trippy instrumental piece. Despite its confidential release at the time, the album is now considered one of the most remarkable works of the genre ever released in France. A second album project inspired by the universe of H. P. Lovecraft was in progress, but family responsibilities slowed this creative momentum. The second vinyl of this reissue is composed of unreleased tracks, featuring improvised pieces without synthesizers, recorded live in August 1973 on a hill near Valence, in the garden of friends (Hervé and Martine). Psychedelic electronic music, experimental, and acid folk -- a collector's grail for fans of Klaus Schulze, Terry Riley, Neu, Heldon, and Silver Apples. Includes a previously unreleased second record from 1973.

"Classic early '80s dancehall from one of the genre's most distinctive voices. Reggae Feelings captures Anthony Johnson at his peak, backed by the legendary Roots Radics Band and produced by Jah Thomas at Channel One and mixed at King Tubby's. Originally released in the early 1980s, this album stands at the crossroads of roots reggae and emerging dancehall, pairing heavyweight rhythms with Johnson's melodic, street wise vocal style. The Roots Radics' stripped down, driving grooves -- overseen by rhythm architects Errol 'Flabba' Holt and Lincoln 'Style' Scott -- provide the perfect foundation for timeless cuts such as 'Fussing & Fighting,' 'Reggae Feelings,' and 'Dread Locks.' A key sound system album that helped define the mid period dancehall sound, Reggae Feelings remains as powerful today as it was on release -- rough, raw and deeply authentic Jamaican music. This edition is pressed on 180gram heavyweight vinyl and features extensive sleeve notes, making it essential for reggae collectors, sound system devotees and fans of classic Channel One productions."

"Exiled is a remarkable 1980 space themed concept album crafted by songwriters Bob Mitchell and Steve Coe, blending melodic rock, progressive textures, and a richly cinematic sci-fi narrative. Recorded with an impressive lineup of renowned British musicians, the album features guest performances from Francis Rossi (Status Quo), Dan McCafferty (Nazareth), and Terry Cassidy, accompanied by backing vocals from Hudson Ford -- the partnership of Richard Hudson and John Ford, both formerly of Strawbs. Keyboardist Chris Parren adds further depth to the album's sound, while additional vocal contributions from Colin Blunstone (The Zombies) and Lesley Duncan. Originally released in 1980, Exiled stands today as an overlooked gem of British progressive rock: a meticulously produced studio project that combines strong songwriting with a stellar supporting cast drawn from some of the UK's most respected musicians of the era."

Definitive Recordings revisits one of its most iconic releases with a fresh reissue of Robotman feat. Marshall Jefferson -- "Do Da Doo," originally released in 1992. A cornerstone of the label's early catalogue, the track returns with newly re-recorded vocals by house legend Marshall Jefferson, bringing renewed energy to a timeless classic. Robotman, a moniker of Richie Hawtin (aka Plastikman), represents an essential chapter in the evolution of house and techno. On this release, the original Plastikman Acid House Mix stands as a true highlight. On the flipside, Detroit's DJ Minx brings a fresh perspective with a groove-heavy house interpretation.

Following the solid showing of global love and support for the collective Point Winona Sound Library Vol 1, LA's Elbow Grease label runs it back with a sultry summer scene LP entry from one of the compilation's most promising new talents. Nashville-born/LA-bred Michael Griffin aka Gryph's aptly-titled debut album Nash Angeles is a rare and refreshing example of true musical worlds colliding, that never loses focus of keeping the big fun in funky. The Tennessee-raised rock and blues guitarist/singer-songwriter's newfound passion for dance music roots and devotion to the sonic feels of his current Cali home base are on full display here. Along with the studio-ace touches of co-producer Dave Aju and a cast of brilliant feature vocalists and live session musicians, the LP offers up only the most adventurous twists on contemporary genre fusion -- from disco to dub, modern soul to post-punk, Italo to r&b, and jazz-funk to classic house music, all while firing loved-up arrows straight through the hearts of any dance floors or fellow party animals.

First LP release on Real Rock Records now repressed! Initially released on a small run pressing, this is a fine style dubwise selection from the Fashion Records catalogue. The rhythms contained in this album were recorded in the 1980s for various projects, some of which never saw an official release. The tracks were all mixed at the A-Class Studio by Chris "Dub Organiser" Lane, and were initially shared to a select circle of sound system operators to be played as exclusive dubs. Now the time is right for the music to be made available to all dub addicts and music lovers.

Dam Swindle nail 2026 as the year of house music's glorious return with their new Call Me EP. 2026 is the year of house music. Festivals, clubs, bars and living rooms have been craving for more warmth and soul in electronic music and you know we're here for it. It's only been a few months since we celebrated the 100th release on Heist's House of House compilation (HEIST 100LP); a 19-track embodiment of everything the label loves about house music where label heads Dam Swindle teamed up with Detroit legend DJ Minx on their track "Back To The Old School". Now, the Amsterdam duo deliver a new EP filled with dancefloor energy across five original cuts and vocals courtesy of British-Bengali rapper Surya Sen. The title track "Call Me" is a stabby and string-heavy peak time jam, where chopped female vocals and offbeat cowbells deliver a simply irresistible groove. "5 to 9" features the vocals of London rapper Surya Sen whose deep voice add an instant vibe to Dam Swindle's deep and Detroit'esque production. This track sits somewhere between gritty dark rooms and sweaty dancefloors. Definitely not the stuff for your 9 to 5, but with plenty of funk for your after-work pleasures. The track comes in two versions; the vocal mix and a longer club-dub with some cleverly chopped vocals that comes in handy for the DJ sets. The B1 is saved for "I Like It". A track full of old school Swindle swing, Rhodes chords, a dash of electronics and soulful vocals chops for good measure. The EP closer is "A House Track"; a song dedicated to the old school New York house sound and an affirmation that great house music doesn't have to be complicated. It just needs to groove. This one has been road-tested all year and is now ready for your listening and playing pleasure.

"Désiré Niamké, known to the avant-garde pantheon as Aho Ssan, stands as a titanic force at the nexus of experimental electronic music, sonic architecture, and contemporary composition. Over the past decade, the Paris-based visionary has dismantled and reconstructed the boundaries of sound, cementing his reputation with seminal works such as the harrowing Simulacrum (Subtext, 2020), the collaborative odyssey Limen with KMRU, and the sprawling, star-studded magnum opus Rhizomes (Other People, 2023), which features the incendiary talents of Moor Mother, Angel Bat Dawid, and clipping. His trajectory is a relentless ascent, marked by command performances at the hallowed halls of Lincoln Center, the Muziekgebouw, and the cutting-edge stages of Atonal Berlin, CTM, and Sonic Acts. His latest masterwork, The Sun Turned Black, is an evocative, visceral exploration of ancestry and atmosphere. Commissioned by the prestigious Maison de la Radio for the Hyperweekend festival, the album germinated from field recordings captured within the vibrant, rhythmic heart of Ghana -- Aho Ssan's ancestral cradle. By daringly exorcising all percussive artifice, the artist constructs a breathtaking sonic tapestry, defined by a transcendent dialogue with the internationally acclaimed violinist ASIA. This project occupies a rarefied, ethereal space where ambient introspection collides with the raw intensity of noise and the intricate precision of electroacoustic composition. Coproduced by the esteemed Subtext Recordings, The Sun Turned Black is not merely an album; it is a monumental, genre-defying statement that echoes through the corridors of modern sound, asserting Aho Ssan's position as a singular, epoch-defining composer."

Welcome to the roots reggae sound. A period in reggae's history that followed the two year supremacy of rocksteady, that began to tail off around the end of 1968. The reggae sound many say did not come initially from the chop of the guitar but from the stabs from the keyboard/organ that produced that jeggae/jerking feel. The roots element can be heard in the heartfelt lyrics and the stories told in the songs. So sit back and enjoy some roots reggae straight from the heart of Jamaica. Featuring Johnny Clarke, Barry Brown, Cornell Campbell, Leroy Smart, Horace Andy, Linval Thompson, and Delroy Wilson.

"Jim Van Bebber's 1988 psychedelic horror action masterpiece Deadbeat At Dawn soundtrack is now available for the first time ever on vinyl, pressed on 180 gram black vinyl, double sided insert with artwork included. Limited to 500 units. Score composed by Mike Pierry and Ned Folkerth. Deadbeat at Dawn depicts a street gang leader setting out for revenge against a rival street gang, filmed in Dayton, Ohio. Written by, directed by, and starring Van Bebber as gang leader 'Goose.' Nick Pinkerton of Sight & Sound described the film as an 'incredible no-budget mend-and-make ingenuity' that was as 'kinetic, visceral, and palpably dangerous as anything then coming out of Hong Kong.' Jason Buchanan of AllMovie referred to the film as a 'prime example of creativity and enthusiasm picking up where budget and other resources fall short,' calling the film a 'pleasantly surprising mini-masterpiece of gritty urban nightmares. Viewers may initially chuckle at how many times van Bebber's name appears in the credits, attached to virtually every component of the film's production from editing to special effects, but they will come to appreciate the sometimes subtle (and other times less so) creative touches that he lends to the various aspects of the film.' The review concluded that it was 'unclear at times whether the film is aiming to be completely serious and dramatic, or tongue in cheek and over the top, though the answer likely falls somewhere in between.'"

Kacper Krupa is one of the most distinctive saxophonists of the younger generation, a key collaborator of Skalpel and Łona x Konieczny x Krupa (whose album Taxi was certified Gold in Poland), and leader of Siema Ziemia, with whom he has performed at prestigious European festivals and concert venues such as the London Jazz Festival, Jazz Jamboree, Le Périscope, and Bimhuis. Sekwa marks another important step in Kacper Krupa's artistic journey. The album was created at the intersection of jazz, improvised music, contemporary chamber music, electronics, and ambient, forming a diverse yet coherent whole. The music on the album was recorded mainly using saxophones, flute, modular synthesizers, and drum machines. However, the sounds of acoustic instruments are largely processed electronically and sampled. The album's title refers to a skateboarding sequence of tricks -- a fluid chain of movements based on rhythm, intuition, and a willingness to take risks. The music itself operates in a similar way: structured forms meet openness, precision meets free improvisation. It is a record of movement, transition, and the search for new sonic trajectories.

Just generous portions of basslines, rave signals, bleeps, and rhythm tracks, all layered with the kind of instinctive musicality that makes Roman's productions feel both immediate and timeless. The spirit of early rave culture remains a guiding force, not as nostalgia but as a living source of inspiration, feeding into House music's endless capacity for joy, surprise, and communal release. As ever, the objective is simple: celebrate the moment. Preferably loud, preferably together, and preferably with plenty of icing on top.

"Weejuns is all about interplay," explains Mollestad, a former Young Jazz Talent of the Year and Artist in Residence in her native Norway. "Bitches Blues consists of six instrumental tracks, or stretches of music, with an extreme range of dynamics. Some are based around hefty beats, while other tracks are far more lyrical and rubato. It ranges from riff-based rock-ish stuff, to loud chaos, to melancholy ballads and even totally free improvisations." Taking a cultured yet refreshingly instinctive approach to intertwining instruments and influences, Bitches Blues (a wry play on Miles Davis album Bitches Brew) veers unpredictably from slow and soft, distinctly sectioned songs with disciplined chord progressions to explosive eruptions of cathartic and complex structures. Weejuns (a slang abbreviation of "Norwegians") introduced themselves in 2023 with a self-titled double live album. Originally assembled by Mollestad for the Kongsberg Jazz Festival, where she'd been awarded the prestigious Musicians Prize, Weejuns' collective chemistry has proven enduring and alluring, in part as a foil to the Hedvig Mollestad Trio's heaviest album to date, 2025's Bees in the Bonnet. A graduate of the Norwegian Academy of Music, Mollestad has released eight acclaimed albums with her eponymous Trio, toured across Europe and North America, and performed with the likes of Nels Cline, Colin Stetson, Ingrid Laubrock, Trevor Dunn, and Shahzad Ismaily. The signature of her 15-year career has been fusing serious chops with an overt focus on finding fun in sound. For years, Mollestad obsessed over music and little else. The daughter of a jazz musician, she lost herself in his record collection, studying classic works by Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Joe Pass, and Jim Hall before discovering riff-raging titans like Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, and Mahavishnu Orchestra in her 20s. This led to the formation of Hedvig Mollestad Trio, whose relentless recording and touring schedule since the early '10s have earned the guitarist a stream of accolades, including two Norwegian Grammys (Spellemannprisen) and DownBeat magazine naming her one of the 25 artists who "could shape jazz for decades" in November of 2020. Ståle Storløkken is a founder and long serving member of Supersilent and Elephant9, has served as Terje Rypdal's "right hand" since the mid-90s, and collaborated with Motorpsycho on record and on stage... as well as countless others. Ole Mofjell is the youngest member, active with Krokofant, Signe Emmeluth's Amoeba and his own free jazz trio 3 Days Of Maceration. Hedvig Mollestad Thomassen - guitar; Ståle Storløkken - organ and synth; Ole Mofjell - drums.

Knowsum is set to release his new album, Cherry Stone Pillow on his label Sugar Brain Records. A record that keeps swinging -- blurred at the edges, and gently surreal. Psychedelic rock pulses at its core, softened by the sweet touch of soul, the sway of bossa nova, and the sun-faded glow of '60s easy-listening. Each track feels like an afternoon stretched into midnight -- this is music for children of the moon, where drums riot like subway prophets and guitars drip human gasoline.

For more than thirty years, Kevin Drumm has developed a unique sonic language situated at the intersection of drone, electronics, improvisation and sound abstraction. Continuously evolving, his work has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary experimental music. Comprising more than six hours of music, The Mild Temper presents an extensive collection of pieces built from gradual transformations, micro-acoustic events and frequency-based structures characteristic of Drumm's practice. Across six discs, the music explores varying states of density, resonance and spatiality, reflecting a sustained interest in the physical properties of sound and their perception over extended durations. The title, The Mild Temper, suggests a quiet force rather than an overt gesture. Sonic materials often appear restrained, held in a delicate balance between stasis and motion. Small shifts gradually alter the acoustic landscape as layers of frequencies emerge, recede and recombine throughout the listening experience. Avoiding narrative and dramatic development, these works offer immersion in highly detailed sonic environments where every element contributes to the construction of a deeply absorbing listening space. Attention to texture, depth and duration forms the connective thread throughout the collection. With The Mild Temper, Kevin Drumm continues his exploration of sound as an autonomous phenomenon, presenting a body of work of remarkable coherence that reflects both the singularity and maturity of his artistic practice. Mastering by Jim O'Rourke.

Synaptic Cliffs welcomes Annie Hall for her label debut. With the Future Sports EP, she once again expands the boundaries between machine funk, speculative sound design, and forward-thinking club music. Delivering her signature fusion of IDM, electro, fractured breakbeats and experimental electronics, she sculpts a metallic, high-definition vision that feels as though it has been transmitted directly from centuries ahead. Future Sports imagines the sonic landscape of sport in the year 3024. In a future where society has paradoxically stripped itself back to the essentials, aesthetics has returned to the elegance and restraint of the 18th and 19th centuries. Amid this cultural shift, fencing has emerged as the defining global sport, elevated from historical discipline to mass obsession. Throughout the EP, the sounds of these future arenas become musical raw material: the sharp clash of advanced foils, the resonant impact of engineered protective gear, the tension of ritualized competition, and fragments of other, unnamed sports from a distant age. Annie Hall transforms these imagined athletic acoustics into intricate rhythmic structures and futuristic melodies, allowing the machinery and choreography of competition to shape the record's sonic identity. The result is a vivid soundtrack to a world yet to come -- precise, kinetic, and unmistakably futuristic, where sport, technology and sound merge into a singular vision. Future Sports is both a speculative narrative and a club-ready statement from one of electronic music's most distinctive voices. As a special bonus, the EP features an animated picture label. When played at 45 RPM and viewed under a stroboscopic light operating at 9 Hz, the artwork comes alive, revealing a hidden motion sequence. Blurring the boundaries between sound, design and optical illusion, this kinetic visual layer extends the EP's futuristic narrative into the physical realm, transforming the record itself into an artifact from the year 3024.

Zeta-Kognition is a rarely documented perceptual phenomenon in which thoughts are no longer experienced in the order in which they are formed. The first reports appeared shortly after the promo release of this EP. Listeners described a strange effect while listening to pdqb's signature electro tracks: while the music was playing, memories, expectations, and present perceptions seemed to exchange places. Some felt they had already completed a thought before it had even occurred to them. Others reported that half an hour vanished in what felt like seconds, while a few minutes seemed to contain an unusual depth and density of experience. Intriguingly, those who experienced side effects after listening could restore their normal perception by playing the entire EP in reverse. It was said that the reverse playback would unwind the cognitive displacement caused by the original sequence, gradually returning memories, expectations, and present awareness to their natural alignment. Dr. Sascha Dornhöfer, who first documented the phenomenon, speculates that the remix by Carsten Nicolai (Alva Noto) may contain a unique balance of repetition and symmetry that survives both forward and reverse playback. This would explain why listeners experiencing the effects of Zeta Cognition consistently identify it as the point from which normal perception can be restored. In any case, dear listener, there is no cause for concern - the antidote is hidden in reverse. P.S. Then again, who knows. Persistent rumors suggest that Adam Pendleton's exclusive black-and-white artwork conceals a visual counterpart to the phenomenon, though no one has yet determined exactly what it reveals -- or to whom.

The 41st release on TECHNO Records marks a defining milestone: the first full-scale solo record by the label's founder, Nastia, in her music career. It opens up a new depth of detail within the character and identity of both the artist and the catalogue. Rather than making a loud statement, Nastia focuses on a restrained and functional approach to techno, shaped through subtle shifts in tension, texture, and rhythm. The tracks move with intention, avoiding obvious peaks in favor of gradual development and controlled energy a familiar methodology and a direct analogy to the evolution of the label itself. Crafted with dancefloor energy in mind but not bound by it, the release offers a fresh perspective on the author's persona, stripping away excess and over-explanation. "Indoctrinated" is a masterclass in rhythmic interplay used as a narrative device. "Ignorance Is Keelleeng" is a structured dancefloor powerhouse built on a precise understanding of peak-time energy. "True Majority" is the most forward-thinking cut on the record, providing a definitive blueprint for the hypnotic techno sound of summer. "Additive Integration" is best conceptualized within an extended set where the goal is to gradually establish the atmosphere and dictate the rules of the journey.

The debut recording from the generation spanning duo of Japanese legend Otomo Yoshihide, toggling between guitar and turntables, and rising saxophonist Kei Matsumaru, a native of Papua New Guinea, who moved to Tokyo after studying jazz at the Berkelee College of Music in Boston, where he's become a close collaborator of Eiko Ishibashi in addition to leading his own genre-defying solo projects. Both musicians casually ignore lines between jazz, experimental music, and noise, fashioning a bracing set of improvisations marked by visceral timbres, quicksilver gestural exchanges, and charged interactivity. Recorded live at Shinjuku PIT INN, Tokyo, Japan, April 13, 2024. Mixed by Otomo Yhoshihide, mastered by Lasse Marhaug. Photos by Kaoru Ashiwa. Artwork by Lasse Marhaug.

After the wild Afro-jazz fusion of Trancedance and the meditative solo Christer Bothén Donso n'goni, legendary Swedish multi-instrumentalist Christer Bothén returns to Black Truffle as part of a dream quartet completed by the three members of Ghosted: Oren Ambarchi (guitar), Johan Berthling (bass) and Andreas Werliin (drums). Recorded at a rustic studio built by Werliin and Hans Fredriksson in the sylvan surrounds of Hamburgsund, Sweden across a few days in September 2023, Serpentine offers up four generous slices of hypnotic repetition and shimmering resonance, cut through with wild bursts of Bothén's bass clarinet. The depth and ease of the quartet's rapport is evident from the first moments of the opening title-track. Berthling's resonant upright bass locks into a head-nodding ostinato that makes sensitive use of a prominent end-of-phrase rest, opening spaces through which Werliin's continually shifting statements of the pulse shine through. Having worked together in various groups for many years, Berthling and Werliin are masters at playing subtle games of difference and repetition, creating a driving rhythmic flow animated by perpetually changing details: here, you can never step in the same groove twice. Weaving through it all is Ambarchi's now-signature Leslie-cabinet guitar tone, sounding out long chords at times strikingly close to a Hammond, while also creating intricate cross-rhythms through the play of his tremolo modulations against the bass and drums. When Bothén enters five minutes in, the growl of his bass clarinet at first works deep in the collective brew, carving off brief staccato phrases and twisting them into fragmented melodies. Each of the four pieces explore different possibilities of a shared language. On the closing "Chrysotile," the bottom drops out, leaving a swampy, churning mass of wavering organ-like chords, roaming bass runs, and distant toms, over which Bothén floats bass clarinet figures by turns bluesy and abstract, the whole thing landing somewhere between classic ECM and the most blasted freeform moments of early Amon Düül II. Bearing a delicate calligraphic abstraction by Bothén on its cover and beautiful documentation of the recording sessions on its inner sleeve, Serpentine is a powerful reminder of the magic that can happen when inventive musicians just get together and play.

On the B-side, "Nasnusa", a beautiful guitar solo flows into a captivating rhythm inspired by traditional Mizrahi music. Yurika's delicate vocals evoke a love story: a couple watches the sunset as the gates to a new world begin to open. As Nasnusa fades into the light, her lover recalls her beauty and reflects fondly on the wonderful time they shared together.

Purple color vinyl. Middle Eastern psych, funk, disco, and Japanese folk and pop, converge to create a mesmerizing new sound on Kokoro, Sababa 5 and Yurika's collaborative debut album for Batov Records, collecting four acclaimed singles and four brand new songs. Renowned for their innovative approach to merging Middle Eastern psych, funk and disco grooves, Sababa 5 found their perfect partner in Japanese singer and belly dancer Yurika Hanashima, who having graced stages dancing with Boom Pam and Ouzo Bazooka, found her own voice alongside the group, and together yielded hits "Tokyo Midnight," "Nasnusa," and "Crossroad of Love," earning accolades from tastemakers such as Gilles Peterson, Cerys Mathews, and Jeremy Sole. In Kokoro, Sababa 5 and Yurika present a collection of tracks that transcend cultural boundaries and delve into the depths of human emotion. Psychedelic soul, with touches of the Mediterranean coast and desert. Ilam Smilan's exceptional guitar playing stands out, as does the unwavering groove and rhythm of drummer Raz Man; recently heard among a coterie of feted studio musicians for Mr Bongo signing Project Gemini. The second half of the record collects Sababa 5 and Yurika's earlier and incredibly popular singles. The dance floor smashing "Tokyo Midnight" is an up-tempo psychedelic funk ripper, whilst "Nasnusa," with its walking bassline and nostalgic love story, is the biggest hit in Sababa 5's repertoire thus far. Love in the moment is a recurring theme as the "Crossroad Of Love" (Ai no Kousaten) delivers another timeless moment of Mediterranean meets Japanese soul. The attraction of Yurika's mesmerizing vocals over Sababa 5's infectious grooves is irresistible across Kokoro, and the album marks a significant milestone in both their musical journeys. As Sababa 5 continue to redefine their sound, and Yurika establishes herself as a vocalist of note, Kokoro stands as a testament to the power of collaboration and the timeless bonds of music, love and romance.

The album St. John Green is the only release by the American band of the same name, and is regarded as a minor cult classic of 1960s psychedelia. It was released in 1968 by the small label Flick-disc. Released at the height of the flower power era, the record perfectly captures the musical and cultural atmosphere of the late 1960s. The album blends various elements typical of psychedelia with sonic experimentation, garage lysergic influences and a free-spirited approach to songwriting.

The Above Ground Sound of Jake Holmes is the debut album by American singer-songwriter Jake Holmes, released in 1967, and stands as a significant example of psychedelic folk-rock from the second half of the 1960s. The album has a minimalist and unusual sound: the songs are built primarily around vocals, two electric guitars and bass, with no drums, creating an intimate, ethereal and almost hypnotic atmosphere. It includes the original "Dazed and Confused" song, best known in the Led Zeppelin's version.

Stone Angel is the self-titled album by the English folk group Stone Angel, released in 1971 on Seashell record. The group hailed from the rural counties of Suffolk and Norfolk, and the album deeply reflects that setting: deeply rooted traditional English folk, but with a psychedelic touch typical of the era. Simple acoustic arrangements (guitar, dulcimer, female vocals), intimate and pastoral atmospheres, featuring ballads and ancient melodies, a slight "acid folk" vein, similar to bands such as Pentangle or Fairport Convention. A key feature is Barbara Burton's voice, delicate and almost ethereal, which helps to create a suspended, melancholic sound.

Originally released on the Vertigo label in 1974 in Australia and their homeland of New Zealand, Universal Radio was Dragon's debut recording. It was also a country mile -- musically speaking -- from the chart-topping anthemic pop they would later become famous for, but that's another story. They released one more album while stationed in NZ in 1975, Scented Gardens For The Blind (also to be reissued by Eminent), before transplanting themselves permanently in Australia and hitting it big with tracks like "April Sun In Cuba," "Get That Jive," "Rain" et al. Universal Radio features the lineup of Marc and Todd Hunter, Ivan Thompson, Ray Goodwin, and Neil Storey, six glorious tracks of elongated and ever-shifting progressive rock (elements of Pink Floyd, Cressida, and early Genesis in there) and the fantastical artwork of Dick Frizzel. The band had garnered a strong domestic following through festival and university concerts and came to record as a fully-evolved beast, mixing the whimsy of "Weetbix" with the darker tones of "Graves." Universal Radio is simply an excellent example of '70s progressive rock, New Zealand or not, and stands alongside Split Enz's debut, Mental Notes, as one of the best and most unique NZ recordings of its day. First ever vinyl reissue, fully authorized by the band, with royalties going directly to the band. Housed in a hi-gloss sleeve with four-page booklet featuring photos, artwork and liner notes penned by noted music historian and author, Ian McFarlane.

RELEASE DATE: 8/14/2026
After the dissolution of his wave-making duo project Ameli Paul, Berlin based musician and producer Paul Valentin aims to venture down new roads and finds help from illustrious folks like Liv Lisa Fries, DJ Koze, Thomass Jackson and Philipp Fein along the way. Valentin's debut EP on Feines Tier marks his first solo release in 10 years and is a colorful journey through sonic worlds and emotions in the continuous search for his own sound. Opener "ELVAU" is a collaboration with actor Liv Lisa Fries built around their intimate voice recordings which are woven delicately into a dreamy web of shimmering synths atop pulsating break beats that would make Bicep proud. For his remix, His Kosiness, the Tripsitter Himself also known as DJ Koze follows the breakbeat path further down, gleefully taking all sorts of wonky and fun diversions on the way, which makes one hope that the ride never ends. Follow-up tune "Malfunction" is a more straightforward affair with its rolling synth arps and is -- in Valentin's own words -- "about personal failure, dissolution, and the distortion of the self." Equally dark under- and overtones are throwing shades over "WhatThe!", dealing with anger and transformations, resulting in a banger for the heavier moments on the dancefloor or the mind between your headphones. The EP closes on a more hopeful note with "Listen", which stands for "everything that could be, if we listened to each other." And it's never a bad idea to listen to chirping 303 basslines, especially when paired with melancholic synth pads and weird vocal samples, as is the case here. The rework of Thomass Jackson and FT-head honcho Philipp Fein feels beautifully anachronistic with its reduced tempo and could have been something Andrew Weatherall would have played when he was still playing our earthly dancefloors.

Wondrously uninhibited, and liberated from the added pressure of either a studio or a planned live recording, there is true magic, sparkling energy, and no lowering of intensity in this never-before-released unearthed gem. The night before Ella Fitzgerald walked into Konserthuset in Stockholm and recorded what became The Stockholm Concert, 1966, the Pablo Records live album now considered among the essential documents of her late career, she played two concerts at Falkoner Theatre in Copenhagen. Like many other Black American jazz musicians of her era, Denmark felt like home to Ella. It was a country where they found a degree of respect that the United States too often denied them. Ella's ease in her adopted home was palpable when she walked onto the Falkoner Theatre stage that Sunday. And, now the results are released on record for the first time, and with the full blessing of Ella's estate, listeners are treated to an irrepressible, unexpectedly vital addition to her canon.

Hailing from Baltimore, United Sates Of Existence were one of the first neo-psychedelic bands. Formed in the late '70s highly influenced by '60s psychedelia and garage (Electric Prunes, Blues Magoos, Association) as well as more obscure stuff like Harumi and the Mainstream label bands, they were championed by people like Greg Shaw of Bomp! and Phil Smee at Bam Caruso. The anthemic "Return To The Psychedelic" was first included on the legendary Battle of the Garages compilation back in 1981. The electrifying "Shadows of Rainbows" was originally also included on another cult compilation, The Rebel Kind in 1983.

First ever reissue of this rare 45 by West Coast psychedelic folk-rock legends Weird Herald, originally released in 1968 as a promo only edition. Hailing from Los Gatos (California) with roots in the '60s San Jose/Saratoga folk/coffeehouse scene, Weird Herald featured two talented guitar players, Billy Dean Andrus and Paul Ziegler. "Saratoga James" was written by Andrus about his friend Jim Fletcher from Saratoga, who was forced to receive brutal electro shock therapy after his family discovered he was using psychedelic drugs. The fragile "Just Yesterday" was written by Paul Ziegler and it's reminiscent of the Byrds with a cool laidback country-rock and timeless vibe. This reissue comes with a vintage styled picture sleeve and includes an insert with liner notes by Cam Cobb.

Since Temporary Suspension brought its machine-tooled weight and alien feeling to the label in 2009, each Planetary Assault Systems release on Ostgut Ton has been its own quest for discovery, from The Messenger's search for sounds not yet present in club music to Arc Angel's focus on melody to the deep hypnosis of Plantae. His new album, Planetary People has the deliberate imagination and depth of a record that took its time, shaped as much by live rooms and crowds as by the studio. "Into The Night" creates a haunting, dystopic environment of corroded acid saturated in echo, absorbing from the first second. "Labyrinth" breaks into buoyant tribal percussion, modulated chirps trading off over propulsive drums. "Quadrant 10" is clean, delay-drenched techno, buzzing with noise splatters over saturated thuds. "Sermon Of The Light Tides" scrambles metallic bell sequences that distort and evolve throughout, reminiscent of a dial-up modem crossed with a game of Frogger, squelching between percussive bursts and stripped-back kicks. "Brave Cosmo" is tormentingly menacing, eerie synths panning around buried vocal fragments over frantic percussion. "Retina Burn" rolls on fierce, cement-mixer 909 cycles, rave stabs over a ride that locks you in, the whole track stuttering and repeating before stripping back to a bare echoing kick and building itself again. "Thunder Major" barrels on open hats and reverb-drenched claps ricocheting through twisting wreaths of delay, mesmeric and relentless. "Beton Brut" marches juggernaut percussion stamping through hall reverb so vast you can visualize the room, the darkest and most unrelenting track on the record. "No Ninja" crunches in metallic and immediate, a wiry plucked lead threading through glitch with the bass held low and deep, mixed so precisely you can see every layer stacked in your mind's eye. "Ha Jam" is danceable techno with plenty of funk and a sophisticated looseness, a vocal laugh bouncing off clanging metal blocks and rave stabs. "Lynx" lowpasses its rave stabs and crystalline beeps, chirpy hats ticking, cold metal repeats, old school and mesmeric. "Generation Slip" closes everything out, ominous and churning, skittering percussion and electrical sparks rattling through steel, a freight train barreling on into oblivion.

Jacques Bon and Pit Spector are a Paris based artist duo working with a clear and reduced understanding of club music. Their productions move within a state of controlled uncertainty. They are precisely constructed, formally defined, and at the same time emotionally open. Their shared approach develops a musical language that creates depth not through complexity, but through feeling, space, and time. The tracks unfold organically, moving between direction and drift. This openness can be understood as a musical reflection of Pascal's thinking. Truth here is not something fully accessible through reason alone, but something that appears in lived experience. Fragmented, intuitive, and without final certainty. Margaux Gazur translates these tensions into a condensed contemporary form. Her remix brings together intensity and clarity without losing the emotional openness of the original material. The result is a direct physical presence, a form of truth that does not need explanation, but is immediately felt. In this sense she continues the same idea. Emotion as a mode of understanding beyond pure logic. The visual concept by Konstantin Fürchtegott Kipfmüller extends this approach through a reduced and tension driven visual language. His work is not intended as an illustration of the music, but as its own space. A state of visual clarity that follows its own internal logic and does not require resolution.

Following the acclaimed previous album Transcend, which seamlessly traversed experimental electronics and obscure techno-infused structures, Frederic Arbour returns with his most daring and transformative work to date. Leavings marks a decisive departure from established forms. Where its predecessor gradually evolved through recognizable rhythmic frameworks and narrative progression, this new album ventures into increasingly abstract territories, dissolving conventional structures in favor of fluid movement, instinctive composition, and perpetual transformation. Across nine expansive pieces, Arbour explores the threshold between rhythm and abstraction. Pulses emerge only to fragment. Patterns suggest direction before evaporating into vast textural environments. The result is a body of work that embraces ambiguity, inviting listeners into a space where certainty is abandoned and exploration becomes the guiding principle. The album's title carries multiple resonances. Leavings suggests remnants, traces, and fragments left behind after a process of transformation. It evokes both departure and residue, the echoes of former identities, structures, and creative languages that persist even as new forms emerge. Throughout the album, sounds appear as artifacts in motion, suspended between memory and reinvention. Textures drift between shadow and illumination, density and emptiness. Moments of fragile beauty emerge from complex layers of sound, only to recede again into abstraction. A quiet tension permeates the work, the sensation of crossing invisible thresholds while navigating territories that resist fixed definition. Neither a continuation nor a rejection of previous works, Leavings stands as a document of transition. It captures the fertile space between dissolution and creation, where familiar forms are relinquished and unforeseen possibilities begin to take shape. With Leavings, Purgate enters a new phase of artistic evolution, crafting an immersive and deeply evocative work that transcends genre boundaries while remaining rooted in the project's enduring fascination with atmosphere, depth, and transformation. A compelling journey through shifting sonic architectures, Leavings reveals Frederic Arbour at his most adventurous and uncompromising, embracing uncertainty not as an obstacle, but as a path toward discovery. CD edition of 200 copies in 4 panel Digipak.

With Konstellationen, Camilla Pisani explores language as a fluid and universal force, extending beyond words into sound, gesture, symbols, and even the movements of the stars. At the heart of the work lies rhythm, the fundamental principle linking music, astronomy, and human perception, transforming disparate forms of expression into a unified creative language. Through layered arrangements, hypnotic pulses, and suspended atmospheric textures, Pisani creates a series of immersive sonic environments where rhythm becomes more than structure, evolving into a vehicle for emotion, transformation, and connection. Delicate yet powerful, the compositions unfold as dreamlike spaces suspended between intimacy and vastness. Expanding beyond the purely musical, Konstellationen embraces a multidimensional artistic approach in which sound, text, and imagery exist in constant dialogue. Each composition is accompanied by writings developed by the artist over several years, offering poetic entry points into the work and enriching its narrative depth. Conceived as both a personal reflection and a universal gesture, Konstellationen presents electronic music as a spiritual language, one capable of transcending cultural boundaries through shared sonic experience. Cyclical rhythms echo celestial movements, natural forces, and collective human experience, inviting listeners into a world where perception, imagination, and communication converge. CD edition of 200 copies in 4 panel Digipak with 16 pages booklet.

Formed in Edinburgh in 1966 as The Jury, Writing On The Wall evolved from a fierce soul-based live act into one of the most powerful and theatrical hard psychedelic rock bands to emerge from the UK underground. Inspired first by American soul and R&B and later transformed by exposure to West Coast psychedelia through artists like Love and The Doors, the band developed a unique sound combining heavy organ-driven psych, proto-progressive experimentation, hard rock aggression and dramatic stagecraft. Fronted by the charismatic Linnie Paterson and powered by the dynamic interplay of Willy Finlayson, Bill Scott, Jake Scott and Jimmy Hush, Writing On The Wall quickly became notorious for their explosive concerts at legendary venues such as Middle Earth and The Marquee Club. Their intense performances earned support from BBC DJ John Peel, who invited the band to record multiple sessions for his influential Top Gear radio show. In 1969 the band released their sole album, The Power Of The Picts, on the short-lived Middle Earth label, linked to the hippie club with the same name. Today regarded as a cornerstone of British heavy psychedelic rock, the album fused dark Doors-inspired atmospheres, crushing Hammond organ, extended improvisation and proto-metal energy years ahead of its time. Despite critical praise, major live popularity and opportunities to break internationally -- including a triumphant appearance before 60,000 people at Brazil's Rio Song Festival -- the band's career became trapped in management disputes, failed label deals and bad luck. This reissue, sanctioned by original member Jimmy Hush, tells the full story of a band that should have stood alongside contemporaries such as Deep Purple, Family, Arthur Brown, or early Wishbone Ash. Remastered sound with original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Includes insert with liner notes by David Wells with input by drummer Jimmy Hush and rare photos/memorabilia.

Following the release of Ganzfeld (KRXN 039LP, 2024), the Tenerife-based octet returns with Retiro Espiritual, their fourth full-length album and the second chapter in an ongoing improvisational document recorded inside one of Santa Cruz de Tenerife's abandoned oil tanks. Gaf & The Love Supreme Arkestra work outside conventional studio frameworks. Their music emerges from extended improvisation sessions that unfold sporadically, sometimes over several days. Built around drums, guitar, bass, modular synthesis and samplers, and expanded with vibraphone and winds (flutes, saxophone, Herreño whistle), the group continues to move between jazz, psychedelic rock and free-form experimental composition. While Ganzfeld drew from the misty northern coast of Isla Baja, Retiro Espiritual turns toward Taganana, one of Tenerife's most remote regions. Its isolation, Atlantic exposure and volcanic terrain inform the record's pace and focus. The title reflects this shift: a space for retreat, collective creation and suspended time. Sonically, Retiro Espiritual leans warmer and more reflective. Flutes drift over slow grooves, extended jams unfold patiently, and traces of '70s spiritual jazz surface throughout. The experimental core remains, now shaped by repetition, space and a calmer, sunlit atmosphere. Another autonomous transmission from a band committed to ritual, territory and long-form collective improvisation at the edge of the Atlantic. Recorded live in 2020 in Tenerife Canary Islands. Produced by Mladen Kurajica. Mixed by Jorge Lozano. Master by Daniel García. Artwork: Felipe González Cabezas.

Keroxen presents Spandauer Damm 103, a new album by Dancelwerk. Bringing together modular systems, worn drum machines and digital synthesis, the record nods directly to the first decade of Warp Records and the early logic of bleep culture. Dancelwerk is a Tenerife-based electronic pioneer and one of the foundational figures of the Canary Islands underground. Active for over 30 years, Spandauer Damm 103 marks both a personal milestone and a renewed point of focus, reaffirming his role in shaping the region's electronic lineage. The album draws on 1990s electronic futurism, filtering those references through a contemporary production approach rather than nostalgia. The music moves between places and periods: from the early rave circuits of southern Tenerife, where Dancelwerk built his reputation through DIY releases and warehouse-level experimentation, to his later relocation to Berlin, famously arriving with a shipping container of vintage synthesizers and modular equipment. Balancing melody and impact, Spandauer Damm 103 sets custom-programmed percussion against detailed sound design. FM, spectral and wavetable synthesis shape its harmonic and textural focus, resulting in music that remains physical without sacrificing clarity. A long-standing practitioner reconnecting with his roots while pushing the system forward.

LP version. Red color vinyl. Originally released in 1990 by Happy Mondays, this album captured the chaotic, euphoric spirit of the Madchester movement, blending indie rock, acid house rhythms and funk grooves into a sound that helped reshape British alternative music. Featuring era-defining tracks such as "Step On" and "Kinky Afro," the record became both a commercial breakthrough and a cultural snapshot of a generation fueled by dance culture and Northern nightlife. More than three decades later, its grooves, attitude and genre-blurring production still resonate strongly with contemporary audiences, influencing modern indie and electronicartists alike.

A sequel to 2011's communication from our future selves on The Spectacle of Light Abductions, this new endeavor by restless netherzone traveller Spencer Clark envisions a space map towards the other side of human life. A meditation on the paintings of Vedran Kopljar, these two side-long pieces, recorded and performed at Kopljar's exhibition at Muhka Museum in Antwerp in 2024, tap into the barren world inhabited by Clark while wandering what he calls the "Abomination Plateaus." Searching for meaning amidst the landscape, "Abyssfields" turns Clark's keyboards, sampler and wha pedals into sentient beings, roaming a luminous sound field of low-res percussion, glistening keys and mangled voice-like transmissions. Featuring Athens-based John Also Bennet on flute, "Abomination Plateaus" layered misty pads hover above a recurring driving-pinging loop, unlocking new harmonic specters throughout each passage, suspended in the light. Always enveloping.

Gold vinyl. Deluxe reissue of the sole album by The Eighteenth Day Of May. Beginning life as a trio in London, 2003, the original line-up consisted of Allison Brice (vocals, flute), Richard Olson (acoustic guitar) and Ben Phillipson (guitar, mandolin) before expanding the following year to include the rhythm section of Mark Nicholas (bass) and Karl Sabino (drums, autoharp) and finally Alison Cotton (viola). This being the mid zeros, the independent music scene in the UK was reluctant to embrace a sun-dazed folk band but this, their sole album, has gradually feathered a bed of affection amongst international folk fans. Twenty years on, the album is now rightfully seen as a trailblazer for the myriad alternative/psych folk bands that emerged in its wake. Andy Childs who signed the band originally takes up the story. "I first heard their music on a cover mounted CD with the much missed Comes With A Smile magazine and as far as I could tell no-one was making music like this anymore, certainly not with such panache and confidence. To my jaded ears it all sounded so uninhibited -- old weird folk songs, Americana, original psych-folk, minimalist drones. Great melodies and all six of them could sing! A joyous, unfettered sound that could in one moment conjure up flashes of The Byrds and then effortlessly the spirit of Velvet Underground would drift through. They even covered a Spacemen 3 song. I loved the fact that they had the aplomb to tackle traditional folk songs like 'Lady Margaret' and 'Flowers In The Forest' and not be afraid to stamp their own identity on them. Signing them to the Hannibal label was straightforward. If anything the album somehow sounds fresh and undated, even better than it did in the day when perhaps eclecticism was out of synch with the times; its subtleties have become more apparent."

Hailing from Osaka, Japan. Kevin blend elements of krautrock, post-punk, and improvisation, their music is built on hypnotic rhythms and minimal structures that gradually evolve into dense, immersive soundscapes. Kevin's second album It Is What It Is captures both the immediacy of live performance and the depth of layered studio recording. Driven by steady, grounded drumming and intuitive interaction between the two members, the record moves between control and collapse, structure and freedom. Dark, physical, and meditative, It Is What It Is reflects a commitment to groove, space, and the unpredictable flow of sound. Transparent red vinyl; housed in a gloss finished sleeve with wrap around OBI, polylined inner bag and hype sticker.

This album presents four jazz composers (the classics of jazz) and four 20th Century classical composers (whose music contains a strong element of jazz) in a new and contemporary dialogue. From Thelonius Monk to Igor Stravinsky, pianists Julian Joseph and Marcelo Bratke initiate a series of imaginative exchanges be-tween the pre-established structures of classical music and the improvisation of jazz. The "imaginary line" is the line that divides these two apparently antagonistic worlds, but which in this case becomes a line of communication, bringing the worlds of jazz and classical closer together and allowing the listener to see the music as a unit. Marcelo has very bravely taken on the challenge of jazz with its many unique requirements and has put his trust in me to direct his vast training and considerable musical talent to create the feeling of Jazz. Julian performs for the Classical side of this project which was born out of a mutual admiration between the two musicians and early discussions about doing a Gershwin recording. The principles of Imaginary Line finding parallels between composers from each idiom and unifying them in a statement about 20th Century music and its commonality by revealing the expansive quality of the two musicians' musical choices and how that limitless influence spreads beyond neat categorization. Compositions by George Gershwin, Darius Milhaud, Frances Poulenc, Igor Stavinsky, Thelonius Monk, Bill Evans, Chick Corea, and Duke Ellington.

"In October 1977, the Cramps ventured into Ardent Studios in Memphis, Tennessee with producer and Cramps translator extraordinaire, Alex Chilton. The band had planned on recording their song 'TV Set,' as an A side, along with another track or tracks. Mr. Chilton told them the way he liked to work was to have a band record a lot of songs and from that they would pick the best of the bunch. Luckily for Cramps fans everywhere, the band did just that. The first evidence of these sessions was unleashed upon an 'unsuspecting human world' in April 1978 on the band's own Vengeance Records label. It was a two song 7-inch with a version of the Trashmen's 1963 classic 'Surfin' Bird,' pushed well beyond its breaking point, forcing it to mutate into a much higher form of lowdown, and Jack Scott's 1959 cool burning 'The Way I Walk,' dragged back into the Stone Age. After one listen, it was clear the Cramps had absolutely tapped into rock 'n' roll's mainline. In November of the same year, and again from the October 1977 sessions came another two-song lesson in how it's done, or undone, with easily one of the greatest A sides of all time: 'Human Fly.' The B side was held hostage by 'Domino,' originally sung by Roy Orbison. The Cramps' version swaggers with infinite confidence and is an absolute thrill to listen to. In the summer of 1979, young degenerates in England were treated to a 12-inch by the Cramps called Gravest Hits, which featured not only the aforementioned four tracks, but also a fifth, again from the October 1977 sessions. This release features the legendary band's unreleased sessions with producer Alex Chilton from 1977. Liner Notes by Henry Rollins."

[this is oversold and additional copies not going to be available] Special limited edition of 500. 180g coke bottle green transparent vinyl in heavyweight sleeve with Obi. WRWTFWW Records presents the deluxe vinyl release for Pizza Hotline's brilliant 2022 full-length Level Select. The liquid drum and bass meets Y2K era video gaming aesthetics game changer is now available in a limited-edition coke bottle green transparent 180g vinyl double LP with a glorious 45rpm cut, packaged in a heavyweight 350gsm sleeve with obi. Entirely written and composed by UK producer Pizza Hotline (apart from "GLACIER ZONE," a collaboration between Pizza Hotline and DJ Total 90), the stellar 8-song album was initially released as a limited cassette in January 2022 and quickly gained cult status -- making a full-on vinyl release quite the necessity. It's here now with the previously unreleased track "POLYGON DREAMSCAPE" (which sounds as magical as its title) and 45rpm cut for louder, bigger, deeper bass rumbling. Spellbinding, atmospheric, and beautifully melodic, Level Select is a large scope dreamy adventure of liquid DnB filled with ambient escapades, ethereal jungle, high vibe breaks, and a heavy loving dose of late '90s/early 2000s video game influences. Hypnotic late-night hype and pensive chill moods mesh with ease in a cinematic soundscape that re-contextualizes and gives a new life to a beloved music genre -- LTJ Bukem, Peshay, the Wipeout OST or Soichi Terada's Ape Escape come to mind, and sounds and soundtracks from the Sony Playstation, the Nintendo 64, and the Sega Saturn resonate from the speakers. It's all fresh with a subtle nostalgia and so much heart. An instant classic. Press start.

LP version. Audiophile collector's edition. Transparent vinyl. Wondrously uninhibited, and liberated from the added pressure of either a studio or a planned live recording, there is true magic, sparkling energy, and no lowering of intensity in this never-before-released unearthed gem. The night before Ella Fitzgerald walked into Konserthuset in Stockholm and recorded what became The Stockholm Concert, 1966, the Pablo Records live album now considered among the essential documents of her late career, she played two concerts at Falkoner Theatre in Copenhagen. Like many other Black American jazz musicians of her era, Denmark felt like home to Ella. It was a country where they found a degree of respect that the United States too often denied them. Ella's ease in her adopted home was palpable when she walked onto the Falkoner Theatre stage that Sunday. And, now the results are released on record for the first time, and with the full blessing of Ella's estate, listeners are treated to an irrepressible, unexpectedly vital addition to her canon.

"Formed in 1984, Dinosaur Jr carved a singular path through the latter half of the 1980s, issuing three highly-influential albums in the process before finding a home with Sire Records, who issued Green Mind in 1991 as the alternative American rock scene the band had long been part of exploded globally. Produced by a stripped-down line-up of the group (in fact, J Mascis himself plays almost everything), the album and Sire's international reach took Dinosaur Jr's reputation to a new level. This '90s masterpiece hasn't been available on picture disc since its original release and is a must for fans and collectors around the world."

Following the first two singles by Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle from 1980 and 1981, as well as their debut LP Stürmer and the 1982 EP Magic Moments, a-Musik is now releasing Ça c'est le Blues, another of their early works, all of which were released on Alfred Hilsberg's legendary Zickzack label and have long since become rarities. Ça c'est le Blues was originally released in 1984 and marks nothing less than a milestone in F.S.K.'s already impressive discography. While numerous bands from the West German underground of the early 1980s, following the Summer of Pop of 1982 and the associated breakthrough of the Neue Deutsche Welle, either moved toward the mainstream or began singing in English, Justin Hoffmann, Thomas Meinecke, Michaela Melián, and Wilfried Petzi took a different path. The songs became more elaborate, the production -- influenced by bands like Gang of Four and Dexys Midnight Runners -- more opulent, and the instrumentation now included wind instruments for the first time, which have since become an integral part of F.S.K.'s sound. At the same time, the Munich-based band's music-historically motivated focus was directed more toward the US than was typical of the bands in the West German scene of that era. To their signature blend of post-punk and experimental music, as already evident on Stürmer, they now incorporated funk (on the opener "Faire Le Chicken") and jazz (on the heartbreaking cover version of "My Funny Valentine"). From then on, this "transatlantic feedback" was an essential component of F.S.K.'s musical practice. The discursive twists and turns, the incorporation of references, and the insistence on German lyrics would influence bands in the coming decades, not just those of the "Hamburg School." At the same time, the album features legendary hits by Freiwillige Selbstkontrolle which are still played at every concert to this day. With this reissue of Ça c'est le Blues, one of the most impressive releases in 20th-century German avant-pop history is finally available again. The reissue includes a comprehensive booklet featuring an in-depth interview about the album with all band members, as well as numerous previously unpublished photos.

First time ever on vinyl, Twilight Curtains presents a long-overlooked chapter in the legacy of Truly, the acclaimed Seattle band formed by songwriter Robert Roth alongside Hiro Yamamoto, co-founder of Soundgarden, and Mark Pickerel, founding drummer of Screaming Trees. Originally released in 2000 as a CD-only collection, Twilight Curtains gathers rare, unreleased and alternate recordings captured between 1991 and 1997, documenting the band during its most creative and exploratory period. More than simply another Seattle group, Truly forged a singular sound that blended heavy psychedelic rock, grunge-era intensity, damaged pop and expansive melodic textures. Featuring the contributions of three key figures from the Pacific Northwest underground, this collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the band's evolution through alternate versions, lost recordings and previously unavailable material. Twilight Curtains finally makes this missing piece of the Truly catalogue available on vinyl.

Based in Cornwall, Blind Yeo emerged from the isolation of lockdown. Built as an open collective, the project brings together musicians, visual artists and performers, developing a practice rooted in improvisation, live energy and shared creation. The Lemoine Point, their debut album, was recorded on a disused airfield near St Agnes. The title refers to a hidden geometric center where lines converge, a metaphor that runs through the record as past, present and future meet within a single moment. Much of the album was captured live by a core ensemble including Sam Pert, Phil Self, Henry Greenham, Philippa Blum, Jake Sheridan, Will Greenham, and Anouska Helm. These recordings are balanced by more intimate sessions, shaping a sound that moves between reworked folk traditions, electronic textures and raw, organic energy. Across the album, fragments of stories and emotions intertwine, exploring themes of love, duality and disorientation in time. Rooted in the Cornish landscape yet open in form, The Lemoine Point unfolds as a space where place, people and memory converge into a fluid and immersive whole.

Discrepant presents the LP edition of Tales from the Source, the original film soundtrack by Bear Bones, Lay Low, and Laszlo Umbreit. Originally composed for Belgian-Congolese artist Léonard Pongo's 2024 film of the same name, this release reworks the film's audio into a continuous, fluid listening experience. The album is built on a direct contrast between heavy electronic manipulation and raw environmental audio. Laszlo Umbreit captured the foundation of the record through field recordings and additional electronics, focusing on the quiet, tactile sounds of water, riverbeds, and natural spaces. These recordings were then processed and expanded by Bear Bones, Lay Low, who layered the tracks using synthesizers, samplers and various effects processors. Rather than acting as a standard background score, the music functions as a detailed piece of environmental sound art. The tracks are edited to blend into one another without distinct gaps, mirroring the slow pace and visual flow of the film. Through the use of tape loops, filtering, and electronic processing, the natural landscapes are systematically distorted and rearranged. The result is a dark, slow-moving suite of electroacoustic music that strips away traditional melody to focus entirely on texture, resonance, and the changing dynamics of the recorded environments.

"Arriving right on time for its 20th anniversary, Faun Fables' musical theater work The Transit Rider returns in a lovely 2LP vinyl edition that dimensionally burnishes the bristling performances and elevated chamber/cabaret folk sounds of the original CD-only release. At once a work of theatre, allegory and autobiography, The Transit Rider amplifies Faun Fables' distinctive electroacoustic wash of Anglo-European folk sounds, shimmering allusively from traditional to Kurt Weill to folk-rock and back again. The route that led to The Transit Rider goes back even further than 2006; it was first embarked upon in the early '90s, when Dawn McCarthy moved to NYC and was introduced to the transient and constant glories of its subway system, a massive world unto itself. As she rode the trains, the subterranean, singing landscape suggested a journey in song: a rider aboard a ubiquitous transit system, a network of rails, roads, corridors and trails extending in all directions, meeting itself again on the far side of the world. Upon this endless circuitous path, she encounters characters that may or may not help her search to find a clearing amid this mass of machinery and humanity in which to stop and have a picnic. In 2001, The Transit Rider took the form of a full-length theater production in San Francisco, with a cast of thirteen aided by the inspiring work of director/lighting designer Allen Willner. Its music was further developed/recorded/adapted into a touring show by Dawn and her stalwart co-conspirator Nils Frykdahl, joined by multi-instrumentalists Jenya Chernoff and Matt Lebofsky. The album features contributions by Dawn's mother Michelina Tyrie and father Will McCarthy, with thematically related songs by Zygmunt Konieczny, Soeur Sourire, and the Anglo Saxon traditional 'House Carpenter' added to the mix. For the LP release, the artwork has been revamped, featuring previously unseen photos of the original stage show and the touring cast that followed. As with all Faun Fables music, the sweep of history and the voices of the people thrillingly coincide in the songs and singing of The Transit Rider. The project's conceptual/theatrical properties give it a special pride of place in Faun Fables lore. Fortunately, all capricious mists of time have parted just in time for The Transit Rider's 20th anniversary celebration. The Transit Rider combines Faun Fables' distinctive song-telling style with their full-hearted/throated thespian energies, rumbling trippily past flashing lights and strangers in thirteen exquisite folk-cabaret urban anthems, a pungent masterpiece of 21st century folk rock."

"In the spring of 2025, right around the release of Possession, Ty Segall started hearing voices, calmly at first, but soon screaming: 'Get the band back together!!!' Immediately, his mind began working, creating, collecting and collating riffs for songs, an album that he and the band -- Ben Boye, Evan Burrows, Mikal Cronin, Emmett Kelly -- will come to all call Chrome. Chrome -- the element, not the album -- is shiny, reflective, resistant to corrosion. Chrome the album's got that too: in hard-springing rock strung with lyrically allusive passages moving furtive and bleak through labyrinthine paths in the darkness. Joining social phenomena and autobiographical dream imagery in song-sequenced, head-snapping flashes, hitting left/right hemispheres fast and furiously. In massive riffs and thudding power in the rhythm core, twin-guitar attack and parry, tightly arrayed lines of fuzz distortion, keyboard textures of bright and thickness. All mixed immediate and flexible, colorful and clean, spicy-sweet, with Ty's vocals of vinegar and sand, wine and grains of silver nitrate, pointing the way. That's Chrome. The band came together fast and hard, their five heads writing half the songs here, with others featuring Ty and Evan collabing, Matt Yoka and Denée Segall writing some too. Accounting for its high-performing social nature and hot rocks. Its guitars slammed immaculate, big waves and dark apocolypto energy bonfires on the beach, from proto to punk to grunch, projected from the crowd-sourced energy of their mind-meld to shake the cages of the larger collective beyond. RIYL: Television, Blue Oyster Cult, The Adolescents, Pink Fairies, Iggy, Crazy Horse, Nirvana."

Keith Freund's music occupies a space where careful musicianship and homebrewed experimentation meet and shake hands. On Window Left Open, spacious melodies drift through dense fields of electronic activity: saxophone lines rise above buzzing circuitry, percussion flickers at the edges of the frame, and clustered glitch textures dart through the music like insects in tall summer grass. Every sound feels vividly animated, a charged part of the same mercurial ecosystem. Freund's talent lies in balancing warmth and unpredictability with remarkable ease. Patient motifs recall the exploratory spirit of early folktronica, while bit-reduced textures, degraded loops, and idiosyncratic synthesis techniques continually reshape the terrain beneath them. Rather than treating acoustic and electronic elements as opposing forces, Freund allows them to intermingle until distinctions dissolve, creating compositions that reward close listening while retaining immediate warmth. This record finds Freund working with a fully formed vocabulary that is truly his own, transforming glitch, melody, improvisation, and atmosphere into songs that are both fundamentally curious and disarmingly engaging.

One can only see clearly with the heart. Essence is invisible to the naked eye. Two South-Hessian music legends, Roland Leesker and Ricardo Villalobos, aka R+R, joined forces in 1995, long before they had the slightest idea what life had in store for them. Unreleased, mysterious, rough and old-school rave adventures, preserved on a dusty, long-forgotten DAT and later remastered by Lopazz in 2015. Now finding a new home on Secret Weapon Records as a limited white label vinyl release, the original is joined by a futuristic 2026 remix from Mr. Ho, who propels the track into new territory with razor-sharp electro rhythms, machine funk and forward-facing synth work.

"Bandmates Wanted" posters may be old school, but when songwriter Oisean Burnett moved to London from Glasgow in 2024 the homemade approach was what worked. Fast forward to now and Starter Car have established themselves as darlings of the South London music scene with their unique brand of country-influenced indie. Now comes the release of their debut album, Afterlight, a hooky collection reflecting on life's beauty and struggles. Recorded and produced by Joe Futák (lilo, Piglet, Baggio), the album's sound grew organically through the core band plus collaboration with fellow scenesters, including vocals from Christie Gardner (lilo), fiddle from Sophia Bartlett (Tugboat Captain) and banjo from Michael Rhea (Symbol Soup). The result is a warm and nostalgic sonic world, clearly a natural progression from Burnett's childhood surrounded by Sparklehorse, Sufjan Stevens, and Wilco. Despite this glow of familial comfort, Afterlight doesn't shy away from dark themes of anxiety, death and drugs. "If you're experiencing a little discomfort while writing something, it's probably good," says Burnett. "Music has that ability to elevate the cringey into something meaningful and pretty." Throughout the album, songs born of introspection unfold with lush harmonies offering hope and a contrast to moments where Burnett's vocals are honest and exposed. Opening track and lead single "Throwing Down" is a blunt examination of spiraling out when you find yourself alone for the weekend. The recklessness of going out drinking is anchored by steady drums and laid-back licks akin to MJ Lenderman, with Burnett singing "I drink double when I'm not around you." This reflective approach continues in "Avert," which addresses the feeling of not wanting to socialize, before the high-octane "Safety Net" captures Sparklehorse's driven side and references the late Mark Linkous. Death is covered again in "Watered Down," a loving reflection of Burnett's grandfather following both grandparents' passings in a short period. Burnett's father Seori sings backing vocals on the track, while a melancholic backdrop is set by interwoven fiddle and guitar. The album wraps with "Kicking," a barnstorming rallying cry for forward movement in the face of life's obstacles. There's a raw, driving energy, with cranked guitars nodding to Teenage Fanclub and a rousing fiddle solo by Sophia Bartlett. Afterlight is sticking your head out the car window: exhilarating but breath-taking. It's the cusp of anxiety and excitement, the nauseating sense of something beautiful coming.

RELEASE DATE: 8/28/2026
Argentinian artist Juan Hansen presents his debut album Ultrasonido; twelve tracks spanning indie dance, tech house, and soft melodic house, released on his own newly founded label Ultrasonido. After his breakthrough Boiler Room appearance in 2019, Juan has been on a relentless quest to push the boundaries, playing major stages around the globe, becoming one of the figureheads of the Argentinian electronic music world. As an exceptional live artist, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Juan brings a real sense of groove to the stage, merging two worlds effortlessly: deeply emotional songwriting and direct, dancefloor-focused club tracks. Ultrasonido brings both sides together. The album is a clear evolution of Juan Hansen, presenting a wider range of his sound, which he also presents in his live performances. A journey through the musical world of Juan Hansen. Across twelve tracks, with contributions from Clér Letiv, Santi Portillo, Franco BA, Rocio Giorgi, Miko Franconi, Brigado Crew, and Marley Waters, Juan shifts between club-focused tracks and more intimate, song-driven moments, moving naturally between Spanish and English. It's a debut album that captures both his roots and the direction he's evolving toward. Juan Hansen's story doesn't start on the dancefloor, it starts with acoustic instruments. He built his foundation in the indie and rock scenes of Argentina before crossing into electronic music, a journey that's still audible in every track he makes. After years of building his profile with live performances, mesmerizing audiences from Cosquín Rock and Ultra in Argentina to Watergate in Berlin, Burning Man in the Nevada desert, and Grand Factory in Beirut. His search is real and visceral; a search for the different, mixing genres without prejudice, with a seriously playful attitude. Positioned within a new generation of artists dedicated to improvising on stage, Juan fuses electronic sounds with analog instruments and organic soundscapes. There's no genre cage. Ultrasonido is his debut album and the launch of his own label, also named Ultrasonido.

Nido de Espinas is the fourteenth studio album by Buitres. Uruguayan punk rock band formed in 1989, heirs to the legacy of the iconic post punk band Los Estómagos. It began to be composed in 2022 and was recorded in early 2024. The texts are inspired by the Diary of a Desperate Heart, an arbitrary overflow of feelings written disorderedly with an improvised rein, which demanded exhaustive work from the band to reach maximum expression in each track. Artistic production was handled by Ale Vázquez (Spinetta, Intoxicados, and more) and Sebastián Teysera (La Vela Puerca), who landed the runaway chariot set on fire. Buitres formed in late 1989, following the dissolution of the group Los Estómagos, a band that sparked a new era of Uruguayan rock in 1983. José "Pepe" Rambao, a close friend since childhood, joined the Parodi-Peluffo duo. Buitres has toured extensively throughout the entire Uruguayan territory and has participated in massive international shows both in Uruguay and abroad. Additionally, they have completed six tours across Spain, where the album En la Vuelta was released. Their discography features 14 studio albums. They have released three live albums, two documentary DVDs, and three live DVDs. Three books have been published about the band. The band has received numerous acolytes and awards, but most importantly, after more than thirty years, they continue to maintain a close and emotional relationship with their audience -- one that has endured throughout their history and grows over time. For this reason, the band dedicates their absolute best effort to every new work and every performance Nido de Espinas is their new studio album. These are wild and excessive times. Perhaps this statement applies to our life history just as it did to ordinary people in bygone eras. However, we assimilate the changes, adapt, and move forward. Nothing new under the sun. We grew up assuming static realities without trying to understand that they were newborn and would not last forever. The "forever" was declining into premature obsolescence. Every accessory is fleeting in the dizzying change of language.

"In a world increasingly shaped by disposable content, Chat Pile answer with something defiantly real and organic, a mentality that permeates Who Loves The Sun, their third full-length record. Since the band's formation, the Oklahoma City-based quartet Chat Pile has grown from a scrappy passion project into one of the defining heavy acts to emerge from the 2020s underground. Ray B. (vocals), L. Manhole (guitar), Stin (bass), and Cap'n Ron (drums) create a crushing, crass, and cathartic take on noise rock that captures a raw, undeniably human essence in an age marked by technological overreach and the cold state of society. Nothing about Who Loves The Sun feels synthetic. Whereas their debut album God's Country depicted a particularly American flavor of dread, and the follow up Cool World showed a cruel planet defined by global systemic violence, Who Loves The Sun peels the skin back on how collective indifference defines this new century. Spanning imagery of coastlines devouring cities, dead-end jobs, and submission to data-driven inauthenticity, the album dissects the apathy-bloated state of 21st-century existence as a slow-motion apocalypse. As with much of Chat Pile's work, Oklahoma City itself looms over the album like a character, its sprawling isolation, economic contradictions, and underlying sense of decay embedded in the fabric of the record. The perfect allegory for the thematic essence of Who Loves The Sun is the photo embossed on the record's cover, where Devon Tower, a glassy, largely vacant monolith, looms high above the Oklahoma City skyline while a burnt-out home or storefront envelops the foreground. The album remains lyrically and sonically confrontational, but Chat Pile approached the songwriting with hooks in mind, drawing on melodic tones of pre-2000s indie rock, alt-rock, and new wave. From the blood-soaked vocal passages of 'Christabel '26' to the eerie trip-hop pulse of 'Same Rules,' Who Loves The Sun is deeply human despite its allusions to a dying, divided."

Eden Samara grew up in the mountains of western Canada, writing folk songs and performing in the theatre. Following a trip to Europe where she had her first formative clubbing experiences, she relocated to London in 2019 where she's become a consistent presence and voice in the city's underground, collaborating with artists like Parris, Ciel, and Loraine James and earning praise from The Guardian, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Crack, and DJ Mag. 2022 saw Eden release her debut album Rough Night on Local Action, blending freaky club-pop, introspective R&B and more while collaborating with leading scene figures TSVI, Call Super, and Shanti Celeste. Described by Dazed as "an embarrassment of riches" and by Mixmag as one of the best albums of the year, in Eden's words it was simply "a tragicomedy in seven scenes and an interlude." On her second album Odyssey, Eden brings more elements into her ensemble (jungle, choral singing, live harp) while honing her song-writing -- it's an expansion and a tightening at the same time. Inspired by epic literary works like Homer's Odyssey, The Alchemist and The Picture of Dorian Gray, the album reimagines the archetypal quest through a personal lens: a healing journey amid the collapse of close relationships to addiction, mental illness, and the weight of codependency disguised as love. In Eden's words: "This work is a narrative and sonic expedition -- part myth, part memoir -- that traces my path through the emotional aftermath of watching loved ones struggle with drug addiction and mental health crises, and the impact it had on my own mental wellbeing. The album addresses substance abuse, toxic relationships, and the internalized belief that love must come through sacrifice, even at the cost of one's selfhood." For this special release, Barcelona's Lapsus and London's Local Action join forces for the first time in their respective journeys, reflecting the affinity between both platforms and their shared vision of contemporary electronic music.

After a two decades of making albums, Downpilot's Paul Hiraga wonders: why would a songwriter write songs if not to make sense of the oddest or most difficult situations they may find themselves in? With this latest release, Strange Horses, he attempts to address the challenges of living in a time of such rapid and mystifying change and its effects upon relationships, the physical world itself, and the unfathomable terrain of the psyche. His eighth LP is an expertly crafted and truly affecting collection of musical meditations with soundscapes ranging from luscious guitar pop, to intimate, studied Americana. Things kick off with a decisive twang in the compelling and existential opener, "Primitive Skin," and thus begins a sonic exploration of varied moods, themes, and subjects. Whether in the territory of interpersonal complexity ("Rose Paranoia"), changing landscapes ("Playground"), or the destructive and redemptive force of nature ("September Street"), listeners are on a ride to an undisclosed but intriguing destination. Each song is its own individual odyssey, and there is not a B-side in the bunch. "In the Air", one of the album's highlights, is a heartbreaking vignette about broken connections with a tender keyboard part that goes straight from the ear to the emotional core. The quirky rhythms and swirling synths of "You Never Fly" suggest the aftermath of a skyborne mystery, and the breezy dreaminess of "Loose Change" serves up a tinge of Latin-laced sunshine pop. Violinist Melinda Rice adds an appropriate "strangeness" to the closing track, in a soaring and expansive finale. Strange Horses was written, recorded and mixed by Hiraga himself (vocals, guitar, keyboards, bass and drums) in Seattle and Whidbey Island WA, and features appearances by longtime collaborators Anne Marie Ruljancich (Walkabouts), Lars Plogschties, Terry de Castro (Wedding Present), Jeff Brown, and Melinda Rice, with newcomer Will Thomas (Dive Index) providing synth textures.

Available again for the first time since 1970, Edu Lobo's melancholy masterpiece epitomizes the experimental evolution of MPB. With new liner notes by Edu Lobo. Released in 1970, Cantiga de Longe is a defining record in the career of Brazilian singer, composer, and guitarist Edu Lobo and a significant contribution to Música Popular Brasileira (MPB). Created during Brazil's military dictatorship, the album reflects the subtle, poetic strategies that artists use to convey meaning while subject to censorship. Rather than overt protest, Lobo expresses longing and introspection through refined musical language and evocative lyrics. Musically, the album captures the sophistication of MPB at the turn of the decade. A foundation of acoustic guitar blends with jazz-influenced harmonies and elegant arrangements. The sound is both intimate and expansive: delicate vocal lines unfold over complex progressions, supported by understated rhythms, rooted in Brazilian traditions. Lobo's controlled yet expressive vocal delivery keeps the lyrical nuance at the forefront. A key element of the album's texture is the involvement of Hermeto Pascoal. His imaginative instrumental contributions add subtle harmonic color and atmospheric depth, enriching the refined arrangements and enhancing the sense of openness. Thematically, the album explores memory, distance, solitude, and time -- personal reflections that resonate with the broader climate of uncertainty that dominated Brazil in 1970. This remains one of Lobo's most mature recordings, exemplifying the emotional depth and artistic subtlety of Brazilian popular music in a creatively fertile era.

Wewantsounds presents the first-ever international release of the legendary collaboration between Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand) and Don Cherry, featuring Carlos Ward. Recorded live in 1972 at Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen, this highly sought-after album was originally released exclusively in Japan in 1974 on the cult jazz label Trio Records via its revered Nadja imprint. An essential chapter in the musicians' discographies, the performance masterfully blends jazz with rich South African rhythms and global influences. This long-awaited edition features fully remastered audio, the original Japanese artwork, and a four-page booklet with new bilingual liner notes (English/French) by Jacques Denis. The Third World-Underground captures a rare convergence of three singular musical voices: Don Cherry's nomadic imagination, Abdullah Ibrahim's deeply rooted South African lyricism, and Carlos Ward's muscular alto saxophone. By 1972 when this magical album was recorded, Cherry and Ibrahim had already spent a decade redefining jazz by pushing beyond its foundations and embracing a broader, global musical language. Cherry was in constant search of new musical pathways. Drawing inspiration from the traditional sounds of Turkey, India, Africa, and beyond, he cultivated a fluid, borderless approach that expanded far beyond the trumpet, incorporating voice, percussion, and communal improvisation into his work. Ibrahim brought an equally profound sensibility. A spiritual heir to Duke Ellington, shaped by Cape Town gospel, township jive, and the emotional weight of exile, he transformed the piano into an instrument capable of both celebration and lament. Having first crossed paths in the mid-1960s, the musicians shared a deep mutual affinity that culminated in this performance. Recording under a name that reflected the era's growing decolonization movements, the trio created a fearless, boundary-defying statement across seven hypnotic pieces. The music unfolds as a continuous conversation: Ibrahim's cyclical piano figures provide an emotional foundation while Cherry and Ward drift, soar, and chant in ecstatic unison, searching collectively for new ground. Originally released in Japan in 1974 on Trio Records, the album was never reissued on vinyl, gradually attaining cult status among collectors and fans of Don Cherry and Dollar Brand alike. Freed from convention, The Third World-Underground remains a restless and deeply human work of collective discovery whose resonance continues to unfold with every listen.

"Time to turn on and turn it up, there's a brand new Carlton Melton in the offing. It's been a good couple of years since the West Coast space/sike travelers have dropped new music. With Anthony Taibi fully ensconced in the metaphorical Melton Dome, this four piece is ready to soar, go deeper and wider into the sike psyche than on previous recordings, now fully recording live with drums, bass, guitars and keys -- recorded at 3D Light in Freshwater, CA by Anthony Tiabi in 2025, and mastered by the inimitable John McBain in 2026. The single LP of 40+ minutes spans four tracks, that have textures, and waves and patterns to lull you into some fever dream of motorik psych! Touchstones like Träd, Gräs Och Stenar/Kandodo/Guru Guru/Eno & Fripp/Birds of Maya/Parson Sound come into view. There are moments of gentle ambience bordered by speaker shredding guitar soloing, whole passages of Krautrock inspired jams that have form and focus -- you blink and your live flashes before you, the record ends, you want more. Carlton Melton masterfully blend hypnotic, long-form psychedelic jams with drone and Krautrock influences."

Vinyl re-press of the 2002 album. Black vinyl. With Folklore, 16 Horsepower deepen their distinctive dark and spiritual interpretation of American and Eastern European traditional music. The album combines original compositions with radically reimagined classics, transforming them into ritualistic, minimalist yet powerfully charged soundscapes. Instruments such as banjo, cello, hurdy-gurdy and bandoneon create an archaic foundation that perfectly supports the intense and haunting voice of David Eugene Edwards. Folklore remains one of the band's most defining and immersive works-dark, otherworldly and hypnotic. An album that dissolves the boundaries between tradition, myth and contemporary alternative culture.

Vinyl re-press of the 2000 live album. Double black vinyl LP. The eleven songs, recorded in 1998 in Denver and Paris, showcase the band at the height of their creative powers; what's more, the versions of the songs from their studio classics "Low Estate," "Sackloth," and "Ashes" featured here are close to perfection. What power, what force! From the intro to the opener "American Wheeze" -- dominated by David Eugene Edwards' accordion -- it takes less than two minutes for the band to let all hell break loose. In 1998, 16 Horsepower was a machine that steamrolled everything in its path -- not brutally, but always with immense power. Yet they always remained delicate, mastering the quiet moments (just listen to "Bad Moon Risin") with the same confidence as their full-throttle tracks. In addition to the CCR cover, the album features the Gun Club's "Fire Spirit" as well as a brilliant version of Joy Division's "Day of the Lords." Anyone who has ever seen the band live knows the magic of such moments.

Berlin-based trio Roomer weave noise, melody, and memory into expansive guitar-driven songs. Formed by long-time friends and collaborators Ronja Schößler, Ludwig Wandinger, and Luka Aron, the band brings together distinct voices from across Europe's avant-garde, folk, and electronic scenes, folding these lineages into a sound that moves between shoegaze density, diaristic songwriting, and sonic exploration. Their music often holds opposites in suspension: clarity and blur, structure and drift, intimacy and collapse. Their debut album Leaving It All to Chance (SQM 032LP, 2025,) introduced this language in full, pairing emotionally direct songs with shifting textures and dense layers of distortion. With Staircase Made of Rope, their second album on Squama, Roomer widen the frame further. Built largely from improvisations and first takes, the record embraces instability as method, moving between density and silence while allowing melodies to surface and dissolve in unexpected ways.

"We went back to an older method of writing for this one. We jammed and jammed and jammed. I took the tapes home and ironed out some mutant tunes. We went back into the studio and burned them to tape live and then I took it home to Stu-Stu-Studio and did the vocals and bought in Tom Dolas and Brigid Dawson to put the finish on. Spice is always nice. Mixed it all up in the cauldron and thus we have a strange brew indeed. Floating in the smoke we have: A couple long jams, a couple short jams and a finale that'll dump a bucket of ear worms on you (reminiscent of 'the axis'). Dip your toe in organ rock and roll. So without further ado we present to you Off Course. An album wondering where the fuck are we and how did we get here. A signal dispatched out into the darkness. We are here. We are alive.

The Wolfgang Press present their ninth studio album, Asylum Variations. The album, the follow up to 2024's acclaimed album, A 2nd Shape -- the band's first in nearly thirty years -- continues the return of one of post-punk's most singular and restlessly inventive groups. With Asylum Variations, The Wolfgang Press continue their tradition of never making the same album twice. Although the sonic DNA of A 2nd Shape is intact, the band ramp up the tension and dread while also creating a coherent and accessible set of songs. Recorded at Metway Studio in Brighton, UK, they utilized the method of recording directly onto ADAT and taking the results into the studio to use as the basis for the record. The resulting album is yet another step forward for a band who's only constant is the fact that every album will sound different to the last. Opener "Speakers Don't Speak" is driven by a Can-like beat, Roxy VCS3-style processed guitars, and gurgling analogue synths, over which singer/bassist Michael Allen's seemingly stream-of-consciousness lyrics evoke unease without specifying its source. Elsewhere on the album, wheezing synths and haunted harmonies underpin "Blood On The Leaves," with Allen's bass melodically meandering before collapsing into a dubby breakdown, while "Sail By" again references the dub influence that marked the band out from their early '80s post-punk peers. With Allen in his best crooner mode, "Bind Us" is ushered in on Andrew Gray's undulating guitar, while his brother Stephen picks out the prettiest of keyboard melodies. Penultimate track "Embrace The Light" is a sparse and downtempo ballad, which allows Allen to show off his yearning vocal to full effect and finale "Man Made Heaven" crawls slowly to the album's end, a nimble bassline darting around dirge-like guitars and a synthetic choir. Allen is joined by his daughters for a coda of "it's a lie, it's a lie," finishing the album in a crescendo of industrial noise that manages to be both bleak yet strangely uplifting. Maintaining such a dichotomy is not an easy thing to do, and it's part of what made The Wolfgang Press so unique first time around. If Asylum Variations is anything to go by, the 21st century iteration of the band is more than capable of channeling this duality, their fractured music making them perfect for the fragmented times we find ourselves in.

Following the sensory adventure of Tancade, in which Gaspar Claus led his listeners to a secret beach, somewhere between friends' parties and summer sun, a new territory opens up. With Cells, he offers an even more expansive journey: an inner journey as much as a cosmic shift, a plunge to the point of origin, where life is invented. True to his sole instrument, the cello, Gaspar multiplies its sound to the point of abstraction. This new work seeks to reach the primordial moment of the first cell division: a tiny, infinite moment when everything was still possible. On stage, he has built a shelter, a refuge-cell, a porous space where the visible and the invisible respond to one another. Lights, electronic breath, uncertain presences -- everything conspires to confront the audience with its own dizzying presence in the world. On the album, this architecture unfolds across ten "musical cells." Each piece observes the same phenomenon: the cello allows itself to be absorbed, dissolved, stretched, or replicated by the machines. Sometimes preserved, often transformed, the instrument becomes living matter, an unstable organism, capable of emitting both electronic landscapes and archaic beats. A rich, luminous album, imbued with an almost healing energy, Cells might seem more electronic than Tancade. Yet every sound that makes it up comes from the cello -- transformed, filtered, and reworked through a series of successive transformations. This is music that doesn't merely describe life: it re-enacts it, cell by cell.

LP version. Following the sensory adventure of Tancade, in which Gaspar Claus led his listeners to a secret beach, somewhere between friends' parties and summer sun, a new territory opens up. With Cells, he offers an even more expansive journey: an inner journey as much as a cosmic shift, a plunge to the point of origin, where life is invented. True to his sole instrument, the cello, Gaspar multiplies its sound to the point of abstraction. This new work seeks to reach the primordial moment of the first cell division: a tiny, infinite moment when everything was still possible. On stage, he has built a shelter, a refuge-cell, a porous space where the visible and the invisible respond to one another. Lights, electronic breath, uncertain presences -- everything conspires to confront the audience with its own dizzying presence in the world. On the album, this architecture unfolds across ten "musical cells." Each piece observes the same phenomenon: the cello allows itself to be absorbed, dissolved, stretched, or replicated by the machines. Sometimes preserved, often transformed, the instrument becomes living matter, an unstable organism, capable of emitting both electronic landscapes and archaic beats. A rich, luminous album, imbued with an almost healing energy, Cells might seem more electronic than Tancade. Yet every sound that makes it up comes from the cello -- transformed, filtered, and reworked through a series of successive transformations. This is music that doesn't merely describe life: it re-enacts it, cell by cell.

Blending Afro-Uruguayan rhythms with rock, soul, jazz, and funk, Ruben Rada has left an indelible mark on the musical landscapes of Uruguay and Argentina from the 1960s to the present. In the '60s, alongside Eduardo Mateo, he helped pioneer candombe beat with the legendary band El Kinto. In the early 1970s, Rada broke new ground again with Totem, fusing Afrobeat and rock into a sound well ahead of its time. He later joined the Fattoruso brothers and Airto Moreira in Opa, contributing to the band's now-iconic jazz fusion sound during his time in the United States. In the 1980s, Rada relocated to Buenos Aires, where he formed a powerhouse ensemble featuring top musicians from both sides of the Río de la Plata. Together, they created a string of acclaimed albums blending candombe with jazz and rock -- marking one of the most celebrated periods of his career. La Yapla Mata (1985) stands out as one of the finest records Rada produced during that era -- a vibrant fusion of candombe rhythms with rock, jazz fusion, and soul, all anchored by his extraordinary voice. The album includes some of his most iconic songs, such as "Candombe para Gardel." Once a well-kept secret in Uruguay and Argentina, La Yapla Mata is now being released internationally for the first time -- forty years later.

Marina Herlop's Dja Dja opens like a held breath finally released: a violent celebration of life, though not the hedonist's easy yes. The exultation here is hard-won, arrived at rather than assumed, an affirmation drawn up from reflection and a long inward descent, stripped of every naïveté. What animates it is a kind of undirected anger, rage reimagined as a creative force that spends itself in catharsis, and a gratitude so overwhelming it can no longer be contained by the body. This is a music of struggle, but the struggle is not for conquest or ruin; it is for self-affirmation, for the quiet authority of someone defending her principles without ever needing to name them. Conceived as a single, unbroken body of work in which every track answers to the others, Dja Dja is the most architecturally ambitious thing Herlop has made, a giant sudoku built out of smaller sudokus, where the whole had to cohere even as each piece kept its own internal logic. Beneath that design lies a borrowed scaffolding, a structure used at first for purely architectural reasons and then, once the music had taken its shape, allowed to fall away. The frame is gone; the music stands without it. Across these movements the Catalan composer -- classically trained, equally at home in the avant-garde -- sets herself a double standard she refused to relax: more open and intelligible than her earlier records, yet venturing onto ground she had never walked before. Voice and bass, so central to her past work, are held deliberately in reserve, withheld until their arrival some ten minutes in lands with real force. For the first time she lets orchestral brass into her palette, scored not by formal training but by intuition, feeling her way toward timbres that conjure whole worlds without ever tipping into excess. Almost everything was made by hand, at home, in a process that could take exactly as long as the music demanded. Throughout, Herlop describes subordinating herself to the music rather than commanding it, following its instructions for as long as it needed her. It is fitting, then, that Dja Dja is her first self-released album, a record made with this much autonomy seemed to ask for it, and the slow pace of its making left no room for a label's calendar. The release is austere by design, almost without imagery.

viragezero was born on a cold Sunday evening in December, on the way home from a Chris Cohen concert at Geneva's Face Z festival. In the winter night emerged the desire to create a new collective space, nourished by the long drifting journeys of kosmische musik. Initially conceived as a parallel playground bringing together the duo Citron Citron, former members of L'Éclair and musicians from Magic & Naked, the project quickly developed its own gravity. This self-titled debut album sketches a world both familiar and distorted, where everyday landscapes slowly slip into stranger territories. Driven by nervous synths, hazy guitars, shifting electronic textures and rhythms drawing from 1990s trip hop and abstract hip hop, viragezero builds a suspended and immersive music. A music guided as much by sensation as by structure, where repetition becomes a moving force and tensions evolve without ever fully resolving. At the center of the album are Zoé Sjollema's lyrics, drawn from fragments of dreams collected over several years. Her instinctive writing blurs the boundaries between reality and imagination, tracing recurring themes of solitude, wandering, exhaustion and disconnection. Rather than telling stories, the songs unfold as emotional states, inhabited by shifting landscapes, distorted memories and fleeting impressions. Somewhere between dream pop, electronica, IDM and spectral songwriting, viragezero delivers a dense and instinctive debut album. A nocturnal and hypnotic record that transforms fragments of reality into constantly shifting sonic matter.

LP version. 180 gram "blue sunshine" vinyl (transparent light blue and transparent yellow vinyl). "The Yummy Fur's first album of new material in over 25 years is seductive and ambiguous; a fast-paced flip through scenes from art, myth, life and fantasy; a witty whole made from glittering scraps. The band's original incarnation -- fronted by singer, songwriter and guitarist John McKeown from 1992 to 1999 -- morphed from making quick-hit cartoon-art songs to Eno and Cale-influenced creepers, populated by characters from McKeown's life in Glasgow and the films, books and poetry that he lived a parallel life through. Everybody Talks About The Weather delights in using every past iteration of the band as potent collage material: a melee of sounds and ideas existing at once, revealing themselves then dipping back into hiding. Recorded by the original core trio of McKeown, Brian MacDougall (guitar) and Paul Thomson (drums), Everybody Talks About The Weather comes 17 years after the band reformed for sporadic live shows, and seven years after the release of their sorta-greatest hits compilation Piggy Wings (Rock Action). Ten tracks long with nothing to spare, it is as condensed and vital as their best songs, with a new clarity of sound that allows their ambiguities to come into the light . . . Everybody Talks About The Weather is an unpredictable album from an unpredictable group, but ending on a moment of almost uncomplicated light is maybe its biggest surprise." --Claire Biddles (2026)

Wewantsounds continues its Ziad Rahbani reissue program with Ana Moush Kafer, a classic album by the Lebanese legend Ziad Rahbani, recorded at his By-Pass Studio in Beirut during the height of the Lebanese Civil War in 1985. Showcasing Rahbani's signature blend of Arabic music infused with touches of jazz-funk and bossa nova, the album has attained cult status over the years. Originally released on cassette, it has never before been available on vinyl. Newly remastered, this edition features the original Relax-In cassette artwork from 1985 and includes new liner notes by Mario Choueiry of the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris. Ziad Rahbani, who passed away in 2025, remains one of the most influential figures in modern Arabic music and a cultural icon in Lebanon. A musician, composer, pianist, producer and playwright, he helped modernize Arabic music over five decades. The son of composer Assi Rahbani and singer Fairuz, he shaped her late '70s-'80s recordings producing Wahdon and Maarifti Feek, while building a major solo career with classics such as Abu Ali and Houdou Nisbi, which have become cult favorites for a new generation of DJs and music lovers. Released in 1985 in Lebanon, Ana Moush Kafer stands as one of Rahbani's key achievements. It blends Arabic melodic traditions with jazz-funk, bossa nova and Western arrangements. Originally cassette-only, it became one of his most revered releases. Throughout the album, Rahbani's writing reflects the turbulence of wartime Beirut with a blend of sharp social observation, political satire and melancholy. It captures a moment in Lebanese cultural history where experimentation, satire and popular song intersected, giving the album its enduring influence among music lovers. Sung by Rahbani and Sami Hawat, alongside Beirut-based musicians, the album features both Western and traditional Arabic instruments. It balances refined arrangements with lyrical irony, social commentary and political reflection, which remain deeply resonant in today's context in Lebanon. One of the highlights of the album is the song "Shou A'ada Ma Bada," with lyrics by Joseph Harb, which reveals a clear bossa nova influence, while the closing track, "Al Mokawama Al Watania Al Lobnani," offers a deeply human view of war, avoiding patriotic cliché in favor of a nuanced perspective rooted in lived experience. Forty years on, Ana Moush Kafer remains a landmark of Arab music. Wewantsounds presents it on vinyl for the first time, newly remastered and featuring original artwork.

Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith returns with Ruin: It's Not Just Music, a new studio album that marks one of the most decisive statements in her creative trajectory. Across the past decade, KAS has established herself as a unique voice in experimental electronic music, a composer and synthesist whose work dissolves the boundaries between ambient electronica, contemporary classical, composition, and immersive sound design. Her new album arrives with a distinctive gravitational pull. The record moves with greater physical force, placing rhythm and impact at the center of its architecture, revealing a more confrontational and embodied dimension of KAS's musical language. Where much of KAS's earlier work explored harmonic environments, the forthcoming album is built around tension and release. Inspired by the sound of drum and bass, breakbeats fracture through dense fields of synthesis, percussive patterns and her signature melodic fragments -- motions that feel closer to the kinetic language of club music than the meditative spaces often associated with her past catalogue. The result is a body of work that feels both recognizably hers and newly charged, music that moves through the body as insistently as it engages the mind. KAS's practice has steadily expanded beyond the expectations placed upon experimental electronic artists, moving between orchestral composition, audiovisual installations, film scoring, and large-scale commissions while retaining the unmistakable sonic signature that defines her work. Her prolific collaborators and creative partners have ranged from Patti Smith and Suzanne Ciani to Danny Elfman, Tycho, Glass Beams, RY X, Caribou, Four Tet, Reggie Watts, and Max Richter, while her compositions have appeared in projects with Apple, Chanel, Meow Wolf, the BBC Orchestra, and major film and television productions. On Ruin: It's Not Just Music, that vocabulary becomes more kinetic than ever before. The record draws energy from jungle, drum and bass, and dance-floor focused electronic music while retaining the intricate synthesis and tonal curiosity that have defined KAS's work from the beginning. The result is a record that feels equally at home within club culture, contemporary composition, and the experimental spaces that have long championed her artistry.
