"With Circadia, their ACT debut, Mammal Hands open a bold new chapter: deepening their rhythmic language, expanding their sonic palette and reaffirming their place among the UK's most boundary-defying instrumental artists. Drawing on jazz, contemporary classical, electronica, folk and minimalism, the trio pushes their immersive, atmospheric sound further than ever before. The arrival of drummer Rob Turner (founding member of GoGo Penguin) brings heightened rhythmic focus, expanded electronic textures and a fresh kinetic energy. The result is music that feels both unmistakably their own and thrillingly renewed. Circadia is an album about transformation: about cycles, endings, and beginnings. Its title gestures toward rhythms that exist beyond the purely musical: the patterns of life, breath, light and darkness. Across the record, the trio balances intricate, hypnotic grooves with cinematic expansiveness, emotional depth and an openness that invites listeners into a vivid, evolving landscape."

"Marking sixty years of musical life in an anxious present, this project turns back to earlier compositions that may have been overlooked yet still console. Music first moves the one who hears it within. Listening again to these pieces revived the sensations felt at their creation -- clarity, intimacy, relief. They offered consolation, and sharing them became necessary: with fellow musicians, loved ones, friends, and the faithful audience that has accompanied this journey. These are healing songs, seeking 'profound lightness' through sound. This is a retrospective without nostalgia. Each composition carries traces of encounters and travels while speaking directly in the present. The aim is not commentary but connection through sound. Henri Texier, born in Paris in 1945, has been a central figure in modern European jazz. From the vibrant Paris scene of the 1960s, his work with artists such as Don Cherry and Daniel Humair shaped an open musical language. His music integrates jazz with folk, African, and Middle Eastern influences, forming a distinctive voice anchored by the double bass. Groups like African Unity and the Azur Quartet extended this vision, uniting lyricism and rhythmic drive. Across acclaimed recordings and multiple Victoires du Jazz, Texier has built a body of work marked by invention and emotional depth. This album returns to earlier compositions as living material, offering solace and shared listening through healing songs."

Fresh off the back of the successes of Work Money Death, The Flying Hats, and The Library Archives: Volume 4, ATA Records presents The Karman Line by Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble. When musicians are on tour conversations naturally turn to music. Whilst exploring the jazz kissas and record stores of Tokyo, woodwind maestro Chip Whickham and ATA mastermind and bassist Neil Innes discussed their shared influences of Yusef Lateef, David Axelrod, and Alice Coltrane. The seeds for a new project were sown and soon seven tracks of deep, spiritual, groove driven jazz were laid down and on tape. The moods of the album are varied yet share a sense of reverence and exploration. On "Karmen Cantala" and "All Is," Chip's flute floats and soars, propelled by dreamlike harp and waves of impressionistic piano. "Low Orbit" takes things in a funkier direction, with Steve Parry's horn arrangements (including the unusual instrumentation of bassoon, French horn and tuba) channeling 1970s Quincy Jones and the loping swagger of Archie Shepp's "Mama Too Tight." "The Celestial Matari" and "Molecules" recall the flowing, cosmic sounds of Joe Henderson and Alice Coltrane's masterpiece The Elements, and "Earthly Elements" gets earthy indeed. Driven by a heavy, dance-floor bass line and an array of percussion, Chips flute gets huskier, dirtier and more insistent, drawing deep from Yusef Lateef's Psychicemotus and Roland Kirk's Blacknuss.

RELEASE DATE: 5/15/2026
A new 12" on Studio Barnhus from Sexy Lazer and Kaktus Einarsson, carrying distinguished Icelandic bloodlines into decidedly humid club territory. Across two tracks, the pair favor reduction over spectacle: taut beats, disciplined arrangements, and a strong sense of space, with the kind of detail that makes simple ideas hit with pure geyser force. While one side draws on slightly coiled rhythms and freaky nocturnal tension, the flip sees the formula in its straightest, driest and most relentless form. Both sides moving with the calm confidence of a track that knows its DJ is expertly handling their task.

Over the last two decades, The Field has refined a language of repetition that feels not assembled but uncovered. On this five-track EP for Studio Barnhus, the Swedish producer's first solo release in eight years, The Field returns to the sonic architecture that defined his seminal debut From Here We Go Sublime, but with a (dare we say Studio Barnhus-esque) looseness that allows the structures to breathe. Tracks like "In Our Dreams" and "333 706" move forward on meditative chords, harmonies stretching their reach until the tracks feel elated by their own momentum. The B-side tilts the frame. "Another Day" introduces some melodic immediacy, folding a tender vocal presence into The Field's glittering matrix of sound, softening the grid without dissolving it. "Now You Exist" is a grand finale radiating with restrained euphoria.

With Flame Folclòre, Cocanha continues reclaiming Occitan folklore as a living, political and embodied space. For Lila Fraysse and Caroline Dufau, folklore is neither decoration nor nostalgia. It is a site of struggle, where narratives, identities and imaginaries are constantly renegotiated. Drawing from fragments of traditional Occitan music, the duo composes, reshapes and rewrites. Ancient melodies intertwine with original texts in a contemporary language that echoes both subversive Occitan memories and present-day struggles. The voice becomes a chronicle of now, a way of inhabiting the present. Driven by hypnotic polyphony and the deep pulse of stringed tambourines, the album embraces a minimal, physical and grounded aesthetic. Repetition acts as propulsion, dance as function. Cocanha's practice is collective by nature: to gather, to move, to fuel a joyful struggle around reclaiming the commons. Produced by Raül Refree, Flame Folclòre intensifies the dialogue between memory and transformation. Voices strike, revolve and respond, opening a circular space where folklore is no longer frozen but alive and burning in the present.

Red color vinyl. Third album from Sheffield folk artist blending traditional songs and original compositions to remarkable effect. 180gram heavyweight black vinyl with download code and gatefold sleeve. On his new album Wasteland, Jim Ghedi has created something huge. Intense, brooding, bold, at times apocalyptic, and remarkably vast. A profoundly bold sonic statement that is some of the most rich, far-reaching and ambitious work that Ghedi has created to date -- pushing the boundaries of what folk music can be. Recorded over two years at Tesla Studios in Sheffield, with David Glover engineering and producing, it also features a wide cast of musicians such as David Grubb (fiddle), Daniel Bridgwood-Hill (fiddle), Neal Heppleston (bass), Joe Danks (drums), Dean Honer from I Monster (synths), Cormac MacDiarmada from Lankum (vocals), Ruth Clinton from Landless (vocals), and Amelia Baker from Cinder Well (vocals). Wasteland is a record that is unafraid to plunge into the darkness of the modern world and embrace the weirder, edgier and more unnerving moments that come from doing so. It is an album that captures all the enormity of life from the micro to the macro, zooming in on the personal as well reflecting on broader societal issues. As with previous albums, such as 2018's A Hymn for Ancient Land and 2021's In the Furrows of Common Place, Ghedi uses traditional folk songs as a means to explore contemporary issues via modern and experimentally-leaning music. Lead single "Wasteland" is a stunning piece of work that while rooted in an environment being corrupted and broken. The decision to incorporate more fuller sounds, such as electric guitar and huge drums, results in a notable shift and evolution in tone for Ghedi. What Ghedi has done in creating his masterpiece is construct a remarkable space where deeply intimate and personal feelings coexist with reflections on environment, place and society, while also interweaving historical context via traditional songs. Wasteland is as much of a world to explore and exist in as much as it is an album, with Ghedi carving out his distinctly unique sonic language and voice to explore that singular environment.

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.

Allein by Quarks is a timeless piece of German electro-pop culture that captures the nostalgia of Berlin's wild and spaced out 2000s like no other. Originally released on the duo's third album Trigger Me Happy, the single was later released as a 12" with two massive remixes that were only available on vinyl. Whether it's Sascha Funke's haunting minimal techno masterpiece or Swayzak's colorful and electrifying banger -- both remixes leave no doubt that this 12" will bring goosebumps and tears of joy to every dance floor until the end of time!

"This album was created through the collaboration of two instrumentalists seeking the ancient voice of their instruments alongside the sound of tomorrow. With sensitive attention to discovering the space for sound -- both acoustically and ideologically -- Raphael Roginski and Iztok Koren have created a polyphony of ever-changing sonic colors. This polyphony itself -- as the idea of one encountering the other to build a platform -- is the common denominator of their work. As enthusiasts of traditional music, they draw inspiration from it; yet, their goal is to make music for the modern human and create a universal sonic landscape. Iztok Koren -- banjos, guembri, steel drum, kalimba, effects, harmonium, analog synth. Raphael Rogiński -- electric guitar, effects. All songs created and performed by Iztok Koren and Raphael Rogiński. Recording, mixing and mastering: Jernej Babnik Romaniuk. Recorded without overdubs in June 2025 at Kmečka soba, Ljubljana. Graphic design: Jernej Babnik Romaniuk. Cover photos: Lena Marya. Cover caption: Klara Vrtačnik."

Be As One boss Shlomi Aber returns to Chris Liebing's CLR with the Schema EP. Active since 1994, Aber has been a cornerstone of underground techno for over three decades, with his focused, hypnotic approach in both the studio and DJ booth leading to releases on some of the scene's most respected labels. Schema opens with the title track and heads straight into subterranean territory, pairing weighty low-end pressure with tightly controlled tension. Rattling bass foundations are offset by sharp hi-hats and static-laced textures that flicker through the mix, keeping the groove locked and the atmosphere charged. On remix duties, James Ruskin, founder of the seminal Blueprint, delivers a shadowy, atmospheric rework.

A note from Lawrence English: "TripleAkuma is the third in a series of essential live documents from Merzbow. The stage and the studio are not the same place, and Merzbow has an acute understanding of this juxtaposition. Whilst the sheer density of the music might be maintained across both spheres, the live experience of Merzbow is truly something that exists as profoundly physical and moreover, overtly performative. Merzbow's live methodologies draw not just from a saturation of frequency at all levels, but a recognition of how frequency can be used to affect the body. Working at the extremes of both low and high sonic energies, he creates a situation within which the fullness of the body can be tested; the aural body, that of our ears (and importantly our mind's ear), and the physical one (after all, the body itself is an ear). TripleAkuma, recorded in his hometown of Tokyo, captures a particularly fierce and free performance. There's a morphic and lava-like quality to the sounds he creates here and the very room itself bares into the recording, adding a certain excessive intensity to the way the sounds carry in space, and time. There is no one exposure that could capture the true force and presence of Merzbow live, but each capture, like this one, deepens our understanding of his truly unique and provocative sonic universe."

Elations Recordings presents Terra Ignota, the long-awaited new full-length album from elusive Melbourne-based fusion ensemble Krakatau. Terra Ignota marks a return and an epochal shift for the group, a deep exploration of possible sonic spaces and a portent of things to come. In the years since 2016's cosmic jazz funk-prog-spiritual 12" Tharsis Montes/Apogean Tide, Krakatau have worked on refining their craft as instrumentalists and writers, expanding further into the world of jazz and fusing influences from world folk musics, contemporary jazz, and the European post-minimalist music of the 1980s and early '90s. Terra Ignota, literally translated as "Unknown Land", takes its name from the cartographer's notation for uncharted territory, the blank spaces on maps where knowledge gives way to imagination and speculation, gesturing towards the group's studio explorations and search for new sonic worlds in the years spent developing the record. The results are a diverse yet unified combination of sounds and influences across five tracks that see Krakatau drawing closer to the independent underground "world" jazz scene of the 1980s than anything contemporary. The album opens with the digi-minimalism and fourth world atmospherics of title track "Terra Ignota", a percussion heavy Latin fusion sound in "Birds of Passage", and melancholic ambient saxophone and synthesizer duo "In Memory". Three-part epic "Cosmetic Surgery" journeys through a long, complex post-minimalist arrangement into Latin fusion and contemporary jazz, followed by the contemplative ECM-styled acoustic quartet closer "Trial in Absentia". The album features significant contributions from saxophonist Rob Vincs, former Victorian College of the Arts head of Jazz and Improvisation and a collaborator with Australian musician Brian Brown; layered percussion and wordless vocals from Brazilian percussionist and esteemed songwriter Alcides Neto; and a guest performance from trumpet player Reuben Lewis on the title track.

Igor Tamerlan is a stranger in his own land. During his brief stint at Sciences Po, Igor spent most times hanging out at recording studios and rubbed shoulders with the likes of singer-songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman and Michel Polnaref. He had a brief encounter with The Rolling Stones in the early 1970s. But Igor's musical education and his occidental eyes appeared to be ill-suited for Indonesia. His first record, titled Langkah Pertama (First Step) on the mainstream label Musica was met with a shrug and was a commercial dud. An experimental record blending the influence of Spanish motifs, Francophile production and a whiff of hip hop and ska was seen by critics as being too alien. He left the label Musica -- or may had been dropped -- soon after Langkah Pertama and decided to go independent. He then relocated to Bali and set up a state-of-the-art recording studio in Sanur, across the street from Southeast Asia's first boutique hotel where luminaries like Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Sting, Yoko Ono and Ringo Starr stayed for their holiday. From the studio, Igor recording everything from the sounds waterfalls, geckos, minibuses to motorized rickshaw and mix them with hip hop, jazz, electronica, dub and Balinese gamelan. A visionary, Igor was the first musician to use MIDI, which started to be available globally in the early 1980s. On paper, songs like "Bali Vanilli" should not work, a mish mash of disparate elements mentioned above, sung in three languages, Balinese, English and Bahasa Indonesia while tackling the subject of overtourism. But for some strange reason "Bali Vanilli" became a sensation and overnight Igor became household name. And in 1987, long before overtourism was an issue, Igor broached the subject to a national audience in Indonesia on the possible destruction of nature and culture from tourism. Ever an iconoclast, Igor decided to step out of the limelight following the success of "Bali Vanilli" and in early 1990s he relocated to Indonesia's cultural capital, Yogyakarta. Here, he worked on some more experimental music while juggling as music video director. He passed away in 2018 at the age of 64. The 10 songs in this compilation, Bali Vanilli: Experimental Pop from Paradise Island (1987-1991), are some of Igor's best works, music that would have gone into obscurity had it not been for the diligent work of film director Alfred Pasifico Ginting, who managed to track down some of the master tapes while researching on a documentary on the musician.

"Lauren Lakis makes songs that are steeped in darkness, but inside of them is a sense of hope. They are propelled by the possibility of emerging on the other side feeling less alone and fully transformed. On her debut album Deadlights, she conjures a shifting reality -- one defined by both distortion and clarity. Indebted to shoe gaze and '90s alt rock, its 10 tracks are filled with ethereal vocals, melodic guitars, and a heavy low end. It's inspired by groups like Deftones and Hole, powerful bands that explore the emotional bottom but are able to rise from the depths. Lakis was born in Baltimore, where she was raised by her single mother. As she grew up, she lost multiple family members and friends to addiction. She became an actor and a photographer, trying to capture the human experience with each endeavor. Her travels led to stints living in Prague and Tokyo, before she moved to Los Angeles. In 2016 she endured a horrible breakup, and then her mother was in a car accident that left her paralyzed. Though Lakis was already singing in a band at the time, these life-altering events motivated her to focus on writing and recording her own music. 'When you're in a place of total surrender, you are able to get out of your own way and finally do the thing you want to do,' she says. After the car accident, Lakis's mother's health deteriorated, and Deadlights was recorded over the last year of life, with Lakis frequently travelling back to Baltimore to care for her. Despite these circumstances and the recurring theme of loss in its songs, Lakis doesn't consider Deadlights a grief album. Instead it captures what's possible when you survive the worst reality you can imagine. 'That loss, the experience of going through the absolute worst thing, there's a freedom in that,' she says. 'There's a liberation in that where I almost feel invincible.'"

"James Jeffrey Plewman, better known by his stage name Nash the Slash, was a Canadian musician. A multi-instrumentalist, he was primarily playing the electric violin and mandolin, as well as the synthesizer, keyboards, glockenspiel, and other instruments. Nash worked as a solo artist beginning in 1975; founding the progressive rock band FM in 1976. Soon after releasing the band's first album, Black Noise, in 1977, he left the group; he resumed his solo career in 1978. Nash's music covers an eclectic range, varying from instrumental--mood-setting music, to rock and pop music with vocals. In addition to giving concert performances, he composed and performed soundtrack music for silent films, presenting these works live in movie theatres to accompany screenings of the films. Nash famously never allowed guitars on any of his solo albums and singles. He turned down Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour's offer to lay down a guitar track on his album Children of the Night. In the mid-1980s Nash the Slash was invited to support Gary Numan and Iggy Pop on their tours. In 1984, Nash released a compilation album (with most tracks remixed) entitled The Million Year Picnic on Ralph Records in the United States, the label which was home to The Residents. This covers album was introduced by Friendly Rich, a Canadian music composer and musician from Brampton, Ontario. Amongst many other things, Rich composed background music for three seasons of MTV's The Tom Green Show. He also founded the Brampton Indie Arts Festival, an annual event which promotes underground artists such as Nash the Slash, The Nihilist Spasm Band or Ron Sexsmith."

"Bourbonese Qualk were an experimental music group from England who where active from 1979 until 2003. The group were always obsessively and uncompromisingly focused on controlling their work -- they ran their own record label, recording studio, tour organization and music venue (the legendary 'Ambulance Station') -- they refused to integrate into the commercial music racket turning down publishing deals from major labels -- stubbornly opting for total independence. Bourbonese Qualk were also known for their political activism which was formed in the crucible of the 1980s Britain. They saw their music as a revolutionary cultural force -- a belief that radical musical forms must be part of positive social change. Despite this position, the group avoided dogma, cliché and propaganda, preferring to let their audience come to their own conclusions -- their work was often ambiguous and directly critical of cynical power-politics of any color -- often irritating members of the traditional 'organized left.' In 1984 Bourbonese Qualk occupied a large empty building on the Old Kent Road in South London which they turned into a base for their activities and a co-operative for artists, musicians and writers as well as a center for radical political activism -- specifically as a coordinating center for the 'Stop The City' anti-capitalist riots of 1984-1986. They never recorded in a 'proper' studio (not that they could ever afford to), choosing instead to work with their own extremely basic equipment If Bourbonese Qualk have a legacy, it is that 'culture' should be reclaimed, re-defined and owned by the people, wherever they are, however small and not by the state or the market and that 'culture' is a vital vehicle for debate and radical change. My Government Is My Soul was the band's sixth album, originally released by Fünfundvierzig in Germany in 1989."

"Amy Denio is a Seattle-based multi-instrumental composer of soundtracks for modern dance, film and theater, as well as a songwriter and music improviser. Often called an unclassifiable avant-garde jazz musician, her main instruments are voice, alto saxophone, clarinet, accordion, acoustic and electric guitars, electric bass, and theremin. Among her current musical involvements are The Tiptons Sax Quartet (formerly The Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet) and Kultur Shock, an international Balkan gypsy/metal/punk group based in Seattle. She has also collaborated repeatedly with the Pat Graney Dance Company, David Dorfman Dance Company, Victoria Marks, and with many other choreographers. Her first recording was No Bones released as a cassette on her record label Spoot Music in 1986. Her first LP was with the Entropics. She founded Tiptons in 1987, and also started Tone Dogs with bassist Fred Chalenor. Tone Dogs' first release Ankety Low Day was nominated for a Grammy Award.

Amy says: 'I've culled my favorite new accordion-driven hits into one fabulous sonic adventure to feed your hungry ears! Some of the songs were produced solo, one is a live recording from my performance with the Jovino Santos Neto Quinteto at the Triple Door, others are from the sessions that Ama Trio (AD/Madeleine Sosin/Abel Rocha) recorded at Gravel Voice sessions with Scott Colburn, as well as a rich collaboration with fellow-Seattle Composers Alliance colleagues Tara Forth and Steve Kirk on Crow Totem a piece inspired by the fiery spirit of graphic novelist/poet/artist/free spirit Noel Franklin."

"Electronic music producer Samuel Kerridge -- who was also curator of Berlin's Atonal festival for a time -- and Maxim 'Panda' Barron, former guitarist with Brighton indie rockers TOY, have joined forces in their electrifying new project Death Disco to conspire against the living. Drawing on the rebellious roots of (post)punk, EBM, industrial, and slow metal spiced with a DIY ethos, the duo has created a sense of urgency and authenticity on their debut album Death Notes. Samuel's fierce vocal work and electronics gives the album an emotional depth that goes beyond its aggressive nature, while Maxim's pulsating rhythms keeps cutting through the atmosphere with skin-stripping power. Death Disco moves through different experiences and paces, carving out a unique norm in an equally unsettling and uncompromising sonic world. Their debut album was previously released on LP, cassette and download, now Klanggalerie are happy to bring you this seminal album on CD. Mastered by Justin K. Broadrick."

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.

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.

III is an intimate, cinematic and dream-like body of work -- written, produced and mixed by Morita Vargas, and recorded in Buenos Aires between 2014 and 2025. The album was mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio (NY), adding depth and clarity to its carefully built sonic landscape. The visual world of the record is an essential part of the release. The cover artwork was crafted by Juliana Guglielmi, Ariadna Aylen Barrios, and Noelia Garreffa, whose combined vision creates a unified visual narrative that reflects the album's emotional depth and atmospheric essence. The LP layout and full manufacturing realization were carefully executed by Ilja Tulit, translating the complex design ideas into their final tangible form of a vinyl release. III marks a very special release for Hidden Harmony Recordings. Morita Vargas was among the first artists the label released when it began in 2020-2021, and her work played an important role in shaping the spirit and direction of Hidden Harmony. Five years later, Hidden Harmony are proud to continue this long-standing collaboration and to present her new album.

"One of three releases marking the 100th birthday of Randy Weston. It features previously unreleased live material. Randy Weston is known to the public thru the lens of the small ensemble of the African Rhythm group, recognition that is very well deserved and his signature around the world. Randy Weston is not only in direct lineage of Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk, he was also the real integrator of African music into the Jazz World. In 1985 the city of Brooklyn honored Randy with a week-long tribute, culminating in a unique concert at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) on February 16. For this rare occasion, Randy assembled a dream ensemble -- dancers, singers (including Andy Bey), and a big band like no other. The arrangements and conducting were entrusted to none other than Melba Liston -- his trusted collaborator and musical sister. Melba, a brilliant trombonist and an even more masterful arranger, transformed Randy's compositions into grand orchestrations that paid tribute to his musical legacy."

Randy Weston is not only in direct lineage of Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk, he was also the real integrator of African music into the Jazz World. Brooklyn, a cradle of jazz history and home to countless musical legends like Max Roach, Duke Jordan, and Cecil Payne, celebrated one of its finest with a weeklong tribute at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM).

The tour included stops at Jazz à Vienne in France, where founder Jean-Pierre Boutelier had the visionary idea to pair Randy's compositions with the Grenoble Symphony Orchestra. From there Weston traveled to the Montreux Jazz Festival where this recording was made. The concert opened with Randy's iconic composition 'African Cookbook,' requested by Claude Nobs, the founder and director of Montreux Jazz Festival. It was followed by 'Hi-Fly,' Randy's signature piece, driven by rhythm and energy. His mastery as a composer shines through in the poignant 'Blues for Strayhorn' and the deeply personal 'Portrait of Frank Edward Weston,' a tribute to his father and one of his great inspirations. 'African Sunrise' -- also presented that year at the Kool Jazz Festival in Chicago with Machito's orchestra featuring Dizzy Gillespie, Johnny Griffin, Art Blakey, and Richard Davis (a recording of that event exists!) -- appears here in an arrangement by Melba Liston, showcasing her genius once again."

"One of three releases marking the 100th birthday of Randy Weston. It features previously unreleased live material. Randy Weston is known to the public thru the lens of the small ensemble of the African Rhythm group, recognition that is very well deserved and his signature around the world. Randy Weston is not only in direct lineage of Duke Ellington and Thelonious Monk, he was also the real integrator of African music into the Jazz World. In the expansive landscape of jazz piano, few artists have as compellingly fused their cultural heritage with the jazz tradition as Randy Weston and Monty Alexander. Though separated by generation and geography -- Weston from Brooklyn with deep African roots, and Alexander from Kingston, Jamaica --both pianists have carved unique paths, expanding the language of jazz while honoring its origins. Together, Weston and Alexander remind listeners that jazz is not just an American art form -- it is a living, breathing conversation between continents, histories, and identities. They speak in different dialects of the same language, but their messages are equally vital: jazz is about where people come from as much as where they are going -- and through rhythm, melody, and memory, they find their truest voices. In 1988, the renowned Spanish promoter Jordi Suñol of International Jazz Productions organized a short European tour to present these two grand masters of the piano. The tour visited the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Zaragoza Jazz Festival, and the magical Ramatuelle Jazz Festival. The format of each concert featured a first set with each pianist performing with his percussionist, followed by a second set in which the two masters performed together. Of course, the supporting musicians contribute deeply to this achievement. African percussionist Eric Asanté from Ghana evokes the passing of a caravan before your eyes, while Bobby Thomas transports you to Jamaica with his masterful hand drumming."

"Reissue of the classic Buster Williams album: a lucid and eloquent exposition of his musical philosophy featuring Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Buster Williams is a man with a strong sense of purpose and a very clear sense of his musical direction. He is also a musician of prodigious gifts -- which is implicit in the fact that his years of professional bass playing have included work with Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Herbie Hancock, Chet Baker, Woody Shaw, and McCoy Tyner, among many other members of the jazz hierarchy. He is unquestionably one of the giants of the double bass, and his status is a product not only of his natural aptitude, but also of his natural attitude -- because Buster Williams is a man who believes in setting himself the highest creative goals. Williams composed five of the seven pieces and wrote all the arrangements. To bring the music to life he had the services of some most distinguished associates. It would be redundant to recite the credentials of Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter and Al Foster. This is a most refreshing and exhilarating album to which Buster Williams has brought a high level of creativity and total integrity. Though very much a personal statement, it is patently a mutually-inspirational collective endeavor because the music is made for the musicians, and the musicians made for the music. As well as being a most articulate soloist, Buster is also an outstanding, listening accompanist for whom the experience of playing for some of the great singers -- Sarah Vaughan, Nancy Wilson, Betty Carter, and Dakota Staton -- has clearly informed his approach to rhythm section playing."

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.

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

"American jazz musician, pianist, composer, arranger, and bandleader Carla Bley (1936-2023) became an icon thanks to her unconventional and original style. She brought sardonic humor and new sounds to jazz, adhering to conventions by breaking them, and making the complex seem simple and the simple seem complex. She combined unconventional harmonies with equally unconventional, almost original instrumentation. Together with her penchant for humorous and ironic elements, this led to a unique sound aesthetic in her musical universe. On March 14, 1984, the Carla Bley Band was a guest at what was then Studio 10 of Norddeutscher Rundfunk. The ten-piece ensemble included Carla's husband Michael Mantler and bassist Steve Swallow, who still remembers that spring day in Hamburg well: 'This is a great live recording. Michael Naura, who had been promoting jazz at NDR for many years, was a great host. He made us feel welcome and comfortable. The band was on fire, celebrating not after, but during the concert -- but, as Gil Evans said, it was a party where we all had a goal in mind. It's a blessing that these recordings of a truly sensational and extraordinary performance have survived intact on a shelf deep in the basement of the NDR archives! And they are also irrefutable proof of the power and humanity in Carla Bley's music!' There's a wink in every bar, the concert is full of imagination and originality, free spirit and humor."

Alberto Continentino's bass is a trademark sound, and he has already been part of the rhythm section of artists such as Caetano Veloso, Ed Motta, Marcos Valle, Ana Frango Elétrico, Bala Desejo and many more. The instrumentalist's characteristic groove is present throughout the work, in which Alberto plays not only bass, but also synthesizers, electronic programming, piano, and acoustic guitar. Cabeça a mil, Corpo Lento brings together a lineup of collaborators and guests that includes Ana Frango Elétrico, Domenico Lancellotti, Kassin, Silvia Machete, Nina Becker, Negro Leo, and Dora Morelenbaum. Alberto Continentino is one of the most dynamic musical forces in Brazil -- an extraordinary bassist, innovative composer, and visionary producer who bridges generations of Brazilian music. Born into a family of musicians, he grew up immersed in jazz and MPB, discovering the bass in his teens and quickly becoming one of the most in-demand musicians in the country. By the age of 20, Alberto was touring the world with Caetano Veloso, launching a remarkable professional career that includes collaborations with Brazilian legends and contemporary stars. As a key musician and producer, he helped reshape Brazilian pop in the 2000s. Now stepping firmly into the spotlight as a solo artist, Alberto's work reveals the full range of his creativity. His third album, showcases his evolution into a bold frontman, crafting dreamy experimental jazz-pop from the abstract poetry of collaborators such as Silvia Machete and Negro Leo. The album highlights his multi-instrumental talents (bass, synthesizers, arrangements) and features mesmerizing female vocals, with mixing by Kassin and Mario Caldato. Beyond his own projects, Alberto continues to shape Brazil's musical future as a producer of emerging artists and a composer whose works have been recorded by icons. Whether laying down the groove for music royalty, reinventing MPB traditions through his genre-blending solo work, or mentoring the next generation, Alberto Continentino remains at the center of Brazilian music's ongoing evolution -- always honoring its roots while fearlessly moving forward.

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.

"1977 sci-fi drive in cult classic Laserblast original motion picture soundtrack LP. Directed by Charles Band, score composed by Richard Band and Joel Goldsmith. This is the first-ever original film score by two veterans in the sci-fi film and TV genre: Band later became known for such works as Metalstorm, Re-Animator, Pit And The Pendulum, Ghoulies, Puppet Master as well as television episodes of Stargate Sg-1 and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Joel Goldsmith, son of legendary maestro Jerry, later went on to score films such as Kull The Conquerer, Watchers, and Vamperella. Joel also handled the regular scoring chores for such TV series as The Untouchables, Stargate Sg-1 and Stargate: Atlantis. For Laserblast, Richard and Joel employed innovative electronic techniques which pre-dated the use of MIDI and other digital mediums. Also included are several '70s rock and roll style source cues which have also been tracked in another cult horror favorite, The House On Sorority Row."

Cassette version. "Evolution can be ugly and beautiful, painful and euphoric. An Undying Love For A Burning World is the first new release from Neurosis in a decade, and a potent statement of intent and rebirth -- one that marks the first new steps of resolve and resilience. An Undying Love For A Burning World is an epic album of colossal hypnotism -- beautiful, fearsome and utterly compelling in a way that only Neurosis can be. Aaron Turner (Sumac, Isis) joins the band on vocals and guitar, a name whose legacy is intertwined with the band's own and a true kindred spirit. Neurosis have never been afraid of change, and here they embrace endless regeneration, surrendering to the emotional exorcism through heaviness and distortion that their music incites. Just as the universe tends towards balance, Neurosis' cacophony of noise, rhythm and dissonance always resolves towards moments of beauty. The addition of Turner's powerful vocals and wildly creative and unhinged approach to guitar proves to be a vital force as Neurosis find themselves again at the mercy of evolution and expression. The album was recorded by Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City, Sumac, and Great Falls) at Studio Litho in Seattle during three weekends, and mixed in three days just six weeks before release at Evan's Antisleep Audio in Oakland."

Congolese-Austrian musician, painter, and filmmaker Kimyan (formerly Kimyan Law) combines sound and visual design in an impressively direct way to create a comprehensive artistic experience. He takes an open, intuitive approach to his compositions, connecting the resonances of traditional instruments and rhythmic patterns from Central, North, East, and Sub-Saharan Africa with sophisticated production techniques. Kimyan's new album, Coloria, in which he explores the concept of timbre in a multifaceted way, marks the pinnacle of his artistic development to date. For his live-concerts, Kimyan relies on the organic element of playing, using instruments such as electronic drum pads and MIDI controllers. This gives his pieces a spontaneous, physical presence on stage that goes far beyond mere reproduction and makes his performances a lively interplay between improvisation and structure. In conjunction with his self-designed artwork and videos, corresponding audiovisual worlds are created in which cultural influences and identities, moods and timbres shine together radiantly. Kimyan's works tell stories in many colors, yet always in one language: his own.

"Achingly beautiful neo-classical, ethereal, darkwave classic with long deep tones, intense vocals and rich string arrangements. Mesmerizing and melancholy. Thirty years since its release, 'Remnants' is the timeless work of poets of the broken spirit; it explores the contours of the human soul in a flawless alchemical fusion of sad and majestic heartbreaking beauty. The 77-minute album is Black Tape's crowning achievement: exquisite and stunning. Wrapped in the emotions of betrayal and salvation, searching for the deeper fragments of a truer reality -- somewhere between sadness and hope -- Sam's words and harmonies weave a soft, opaque veil over a world where feeling is foremost, emotions on the surface, the heart laid bare. Intense vocals from Oscar and angelic vocals from Lucian grace the rich cello and violin arrangements of Vicki and Mera; together with Sam's electronics they reveal a deeply contemplative and passionate world lavishly illustrated with layers of liquid harmonics."

"Entering Elysium, the third collaborative release from ambient pioneer Steve Roach and multi-instrumentalist Serena Gabriel, blends deep synth textures with acoustic and archaic instruments to create a living, breathing sonic paradise. The album unfolds as a doorway into a visionary, liminal realm of tranquility and inspiration where flute, lyre, harmonium, and voice convene within vast atmospheric currents. Warm, contemplative, and deeply evocative, the music reveals a hidden garden of sound, an intimate sanctuary of beauty, hope, and timeless presence. The expansive states of wonder and reflection invite the listener into a transportive experience both grounded and ethereal. Steve Roach brings his signature mastery of emotive immersive atmospheres that feel at once cosmic and deeply resonant. Serena Gabriel brings a rich palette of organic instruments and voice rooted in archaic traditions and intuitive expression. Together they weave electronic and acoustic realms into a seamless dialogue, gracefully bridging the ancient and modern. Their shared sensibility for nuance, space, and emotional resonance gives Entering Elysium its alluring essence -- a soulful merging of texture, melody, breath, and dream."

Meeting By Chance is a project by Marcin Cichy, one of the founders of the legendary duo Skalpel. Beyond his work with his home formation, Marcin also gained international recognition through his collaboration with the late Lil Peep on their joint EP Changes. His new album as Meeting By Chance reveals another side of Cichy's musical imagination. While Skalpel became known for transforming jazz samples into cinematic downtempo soundscapes, this project moves closer to ambient, IDM and classical electronic music. The title hints at its central theme: the way time bends, stretches and slips away from perception. Musical sequences loop like fragments of memory; rhythms appear and dissolve; melodies emerge from misty layers of synthesizers. At times the music evokes the cinematic worlds of Vangelis or Brian Eno, while elsewhere one can hear echoes of the subtle minimalism of Susumu Yokota and Ryuichi Sakamoto, alongside contemporary cinematic electronics in the spirit of Oneohtrix Point Never. "Too Far" captures the character of the album particularly well. A looping piano motif intertwines with vocal samples, ambient textures, a deep bass pulse and almost jazz-like drums. The result is spacious and luminous -- electronic music that, despite its digital tools, sounds strikingly organic and intimate. This sense of "breathing" music is one of the most distinctive elements of the record. The drums feel lively and tactile, never mechanical. Cichy's music unfolds like a sequence of images -- like photographs placed side by side, where meaning emerges in the space between frames. It is no coincidence that the project's name comes from the famous 1970 photographic series by Duane Michals, in which two men pass each other in a narrow street, only to turn around moments later, as if they had recognized one another too late. Time Deception ultimately becomes more than a collection of tracks -- it is a meditation on memory, technology and the strange elasticity of time, where machines seem to breathe with an almost human rhythm.

Keith Tippett was just twenty-one when his group recorded the first of these sets for BBC's Jazz Workshop on May 21st 1969, three months before the recording of his first album, You Are Here -- I Am There. Featured on side one is the three-part "Portishead Suite," which presents three stylistically different musical portraits of three generations of the Somerset town. The first is comparatively gentle and flowing but the second portrait is more insistent, its 5/4 tempo bringing to mind themes heard on early King Crimson albums. The third portrait has something of the Caribbean in its playful rhythms. "Hail Conquering Hero" can be heard on side two, and is described by Tippett as "a jazz study of war." None of these compositions have ever appeared officially in any form. Also included on side two are two tracks from Tippett's August 1970 session for BBC Top Gear that was advertised as by Keith Tippett & Heavy Friends.

These two very different sessions involving John Surman and Mike Osborne have much in common. They both share a wonderful sense of liberation, of the joy of making music together and of finding collectively new ways of making jazz happen. And even more importantly, they speak volumes about the eclecticism and openness of British jazz in those years of the mid- to late-sixties and about the creative ambitions of John Surman. In the current absence in the market of his first LP, this is an essential purchase for Surman fans. Notes by Duncan Heining with suggestions from John Surman. These sessions have never previously appeared officially in any form.

Compare the best of British jazz circa 1963 with American sounds from labels such as Prestige, Tangerine and World Pacific. This album captures the period when rhythm and blues is emerging as the dominant club sound, forcing Soho jazz clubs to change their music policy in order to survive. On the British side, you've got Ronnie Scott's arrangement of "Last Minute Bossa Nova"; "Bang!," taken from Dick Morrissey Quartet's first session for the BBC's World Service, recorded around the time of the release of their first album Have You Heard? The version here is take two. "Early In The Morning" is a Ginger Baker/Jack Bruce arrangement of the traditional work song realized as a repeated blues riff, and is the first ever recording that is recognizably British Blues. Graham Bond features on alto sax along with Bruce and Baker together as members of the Johnny Burch Octet heard playing live at a BBC staff party from March 1963. Side Two features Jazz Stateside, such as West Coast guitarist Johnny Hartsman, Gene Ammons veering into proto jazz-funk on "Jungle Soul," aka "Ca' Purange," plus a couple of top notch Hammond workouts from Terrell Prude and Charles Kynard.

"Claudio Simonetti's Goblin -- Profondo Rosso (Limited Mad Puppet Edition) celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Dario Argento's giallo masterpiece with a striking collector's release limited to just 666 copies worldwide. This exclusive edition features the legendary Profondo Rosso (Deep Red) soundtrack pressed on red marble vinyl and includes a specially designed 'Mad Puppet' mask, making it a must-own artifact for devotees of Italian horror and progressive rock. Few collaborations in genre cinema are as iconic as Argento and Goblin. The film's hallucinatory visuals and operatic violence are inseparable from Claudio Simonetti and Goblin's synth-driven score -- an electrifying blend of progressive rock, eerie nursery-rhyme motifs, and pounding rhythms that transformed horror scoring in the 1970s. Anchored by its instantly recognizable central theme, Profondo Rosso delivers an existential, nerve-fraying sonic landscape that lingers long after the final frame. Often cited alongside Suspiria as one of Argento's most celebrated works, Profondo Rosso stands as a defining entry in the giallo canon. Goblin's music -- darkly melodic, experimental, and relentlessly atmospheric -- remains one of the most influential horror soundtracks ever composed, shaping decades of genre filmmaking and soundtrack culture. This 50th Anniversary 'Mad Puppet Edition' pairs the remastered score with premium presentation: red marble vinyl housed alongside an exclusive mask inspired by the film's nightmarish imagery. Limited, visually bold, and sonically unforgettable, this edition honors one of horror cinema's most enduring audiovisual achievements."

"Released in 1987 and destined to become one of the most controversial and iconic films in European underground cinema, Jörg Buttgereit's Nekromantik is far more than a visual provocation: it is a radical, poetic, and deeply disturbing work in which image and sound merge into a singular emotional experience. The soundtrack by Daktari Lorenz/Hermann Kopp/John Boy Walton accompanies the film with a minimal and obsessive sonic landscape, suspended between piano melodies, decadent electronic ambient textures, and distorted childlike melodies. A deliberately alienating contrast that amplifies the film's sense of tragedy, loneliness, and morbid romanticism. This release is not merely a tribute to a cult film, but a celebration of music as a narrative force, capable of transforming horror into melancholy and transgression into a distorted form of romanticism. Limited Picture Disc. 450 copies plus three art inserts, expanded remastered edition."

"Chet Baker showed with his music that little bit of dark substance that exists in the human being -- the shadow side -- just as very few other jazz musicians have been able to do. However, such a reading that looks for traces of anguish and self-destruction in every note -- and which has also been translated into a couple of films -- has ended up overshadowing something very important: namely, that Chet Baker was a top-notch jazz musician, the creator of a unique and personal poetics, an interpreter who did not wallow in his own torments but who also knew how to take less introspective paths, including a superfine and very lively swing. Chet Baker's music had characteristics of its own. Of a bebop nature in the fast pieces, he had in solos that complex and pulsating way that characterized this style. He differed from it in the soft timbre of the trumpet, which rarely indulged in the 'flare-ups' typical of the boppers, and above all for the insistent use of pauses. These were precisely one of the cornerstones of his musical language. In the ballads the trumpeter-singer expanded them to the point of absurdity (and so did with the notes), making them spaces charged of meaning, as can be seen in the somber 'I'm a Fool to Want You,' made famous by Billie Holiday, and also in the serene 'In a Sentimental Mood.' In this final phase of his career, Baker often liked to have groups without drums with him because, in addition to allowing him to maintain a muffled volume in his singing and trumpet playing, the drumless situation guaranteed him greater freedom. Only the double bass player was left to keep time, a role here entrusted to a solid Knauer. In 'Ferrara,' a sensitive French pianist, Michel Graillier, took the stage; in those years he was looking for a synthesis between the energy of McCoy Tyner and the harmonic language of Bill Evans. Finally, the presence of a piano allowed Stilo to limit the use of the other harmonic instrument, the guitar, in favor of the flute."

A note from Lawrence English: "Akio Suzuki has always been an artist in search of unexpected sound, and curiosity has been his guiding principle. Whether that be curiosity for objects, spaces or places, his work has been guided by a porousness and pliability which has allowed him to explore an enormous sonic terrain. This freedom has also allowed him to develop a language in sound that remains utterly his own. Nowhere is this more evident than in his approach to instrument creation. During the 1970s Akio Suzuki devised a series of instruments that would become his sonic signatures. The Analapos and De Koolmees are perhaps his most readily identifiable instruments and it is these two that make up the core of material from which Soundsphere is created. Soundsphere, recorded in 1990 at Hut Apollphuis in Eindhoven, captures Suzuki at the height of his powers. It is a document of his music shaped by patience and dynamism, in equal measure. Few other recordings capture both the tenderness and the presence of Suzuki's ways of discovering sound in his instruments. On pieces such as 'Analapos A: Voice,' he creates a wavering oceanic vocal drone that echoes up and down, tracing the coils of the Analapos' springs. The results are simultaneously minimal and expansive, reminding us that sound exists in the vertical and well as horizontal planes. Similarly his performance on 'De Koolmees: Suzuki Type -- Glass Harmonica' shares this intensity of focus. Suzuki's strikes and strokes on the glass tubes, creating an endlessly evolving array of tonal inflections and pulses. Soundsphere, which is celebrating its 45th anniversary, is an essential capture of the ways in sound Akio Suzuki has developed over his now six decades of practice."

"This music, as you will hear, is indeed expressive of a profound depth of feeling, a common thread throughout Paul's work. Naturally, when you look at the situation in Afghanistan, and this oppression that they are subjected to by these patriarchal societies, there is a major concern for women and children. Freedom is the very core of this music, free improvisation; the spontaneous expression of spirit not trapped by form, a joy of the moment, allowance of surprise and response, played here with deep passion and commitment by a quartet of its finest exponents, all masters of their craft. Paul Dunmall is a supreme master of modern improvising, a creative artist of the highest rank. Sophia Domancich, too, possesses sublime artistic gifts and abilities. The fellowship of James Owston (bass) and Miles Levin (drums) have worked with Paul on many outings and have a musical relationship that is as harmonious as it is exciting. The inherent nature of creation is to express itself. You have to develop the will to experiment. Experimentation is the source of creativity, you need to be willing to imagine, to conceptualize, a state that is not manifest now. This is the essence of creativity. True, the integrity of art lies in its traditions, but sincerity is the artist pleasing one's self through sincere attempts at creation rather than imitations or elaborations. Freedom from limited form and self, expanding the inner sense of connection with a higher self or power, realizing the flow from above to below. To transcend the identity with human ego and directly experience spirit, the God reality behind all appearances, oneness perception, this is liberation. And so here is the recording of Afghan Women, the summit of technical mastery and emotional power spontaneously expressed. A tidal flow of creative freedom with no allegiance to form, communicating Universal truth with purpose vitality and organic unity."

"The Seeker captures a previously unreleased live performance from the 1993 Umbria Jazz Festival, bringing together two towering figures of modern jazz -- pianist McCoy Tyner and vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson -- in a rare and electrifying collaboration. Backed by Tyner's formidable trio featuring bassist Avery Sharpe and drummer Aaron Scott, the set documents a powerful evening in Perugia where decades of shared musical language converge into a performance of remarkable intensity, nuance, and interplay. The program blends original compositions by both Tyner and Hutcherson with classic standards, offering a dynamic balance between structure and spontaneous exploration. McCoy Tyner, best known for his transformative work with the John Coltrane Quartet in the 1960s, brought a percussive, harmonically rich piano style that reshaped modern jazz, while Bobby Hutcherson emerged as one of the most innovative vibraphonists of his generation, bridging post-bop and avant-garde traditions through his work with Blue Note and beyond. Though they rarely recorded together as co-leaders, their musical paths intersected over decades, sharing common ground in the evolving language of modern jazz. Their rapport is evident throughout this performance, with Tyner's commanding, modal-driven approach complementing Hutcherson's shimmering, melodic phrasing. The recording preserves both artists at a mature stage of their careers, still performing with vigor and creative vitality. Tracks like 'The Seeker,"' 'Reflections,' and 'Blues Stride' showcase the quartet's ability to move seamlessly between lyrical passages and driving rhythmic momentum, supported by the deeply responsive rhythm section. The Seeker stands as both a historical document and a compelling listening experience, offering a rare opportunity to hear two jazz masters in dialogue within a live setting that captures the immediacy and spirit of the era."

Essential collection of early material from New Zealand punk band Desperate Measures, featuring tracks from the 1984 EP and the Wasted Again album (released in 1982 and 1983 respectively), along with a selection of rare additional tracks. Capturing the raw force of an underground punk scene in full flight, these songs are fast, abrasive, and direct, driven by sharp riffs, pounding drums, and a fiercely independent spirit rooted in the early 1980s. The first retrospective of the band's early years to be released on LP, and issued in celebration of the band's 45th anniversary, Broken Bottles stands as a powerful document of a group whose intensity and attitude continue to resonate well beyond their original scene.

"The Guy Hamper Trio was formed by Billy Childish, after a chat with his friend James Taylor. Billy and James had played respectively in The Milkshakes and The Prisoners, often sharing the same bill in the early '80s, leading to Billy's blues ensemble The Natural Born Lovers being the support act for the early shows of The James Taylor Quartet. The Guy Hamper Trio is: Billy Childish on guitar, his wife Julie on bass and Wolf on drums -- who as it happens was the drummer in the original incarnation of JTQ -- and of course features James Taylor on Hammond organ. The Guy Hamper Trio provide a bottom end, blues-influenced instrumental mayhem for those unafraid of dirt, germs and true grime. With no particular wish other than to be recognized as the best at playing badly, they refuse to obey the usual rules of combat and music. Their first 45 ('Polygraph Test/Sally Sensation') was released in 2009, followed by a full-length studio album, 'All The Poisons In The Mud,' appearing, as if by magic, in 2022, followed by six 7" singles (via Damaged Goods and Spinout Nuggets), and also four further full-length albums. Here are twelve fine songs of bottom end, blues-influenced instrumental mayhem, with something bold, something new, something borrowed, something blues! Limited to 500 copies on vinyl."

Since 1991, The Masonics have been raising roofs all across the land, and disturbing audio grooves on at least ten studio albums and more than ten singles. There's no stopping them! During 2022, the group joined The 5.6.7.8's on their five-night UK tour, and then again in October 2023 on a ten-night tour of Japan. Throughout all that, Spinout Nuggets have released five 7" EPs, a first-time-on-vinyl edition of their Outside Looking In album (originally released on CD in 2004), a new studio album (Sursum Tibiam Vestram), and a joint 7" EP with The 5.6.7.8's. But there's more. Following on from the success of the four Rock'n'Roll EPs, world-wide demand called for them to be gathered on a long player, for those who like sit and enjoy a full length of 12", so The Masonics went about and scrambled the tracks into a 'listeners journey', and have also added two further tracks too; their version of 'I Can Tell' and an alternative version of 'Some Other Guy'. Dancehall fillers, the lot of them! With shared vocals and noise, and backing vocals also from Miss Ludella Black, proving that you can tell, it's The Masonics! Limited to 500 copies on vinyl."

RELEASE DATE: 5/15/2026
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. Industry hesitation, internal fractures, and shifting fortunes saw the band dissolve shortly after returning to Italy. Members drifted apart, opportunities pulled them in different directions, and the recordings were left behind. Featuring remastered sound from the original master tapes. Includes insert with liner notes and photos. Also includes download card including the full album plus four killer bonus tracks recorded in 1970. RIYL: Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, early Balletto Di Bronzo, '70s hard rock, proto-metal, underground European hard-rock.

"Taco" means "octopus," "kite," and even "bunion" in Japanese. Bald men or men with shaven heads, as well as red-faced, staggering drunks, are also referred to as "Taco." It's a word that appears in a lot of slang and sayings. Taco is also the name of an '80s music and performance collective whose performances were like nothing before or since. The Japanese band Taco, formed at the beginning of the '80s, is a loose group/collective of varying members that belongs to the post-punk alternative music movement. The network of members were all friends and acquaintances of Harumi Yamazaki, ex-member of Gaseneta and Taco's central member. Taco can be described as a band of guerrillas who, over the years, continued to connect, collect, interrupt, and scatter while sending out into the world music and sounds that can best be described as transient. Taco also performed without Harumi, and so it is as though the band is an anonymous group of mercenaries. Taco's first album was released in 1983 and had a huge impact on Japan's underground music scene as an anomalous and collaborative album involving various participating artists (the stars of Japan's underground music scene!) and Harumi, who provided the lyrics. Although each track represents a reverberating conglomeration of sounds created by this transient local network, common to all the tracks are Harumi's expressive lyrics. However, because of another incident in which the records were recalled due to the scandal caused by some of the lyrics, only a limited number of people actually own a copy of the album. Taco's second album, released in 1984, features a live recording of a performance that was held at the end of 1982. This is an album which effectively conveys the power of Taco's astounding and legendary live performances, as well as Harumi's inflammatory, sensational, and masochistic presence on stage. Her mutterings and screams, which practically ignore the detached beat, confront the audience like an overwhelming groundswell.

Holding the world record for the longest ever EP title the first EP -Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod (In Space), was released in 1995, followed in the same year by Moog Droog, with both EPs making up the eight-song track listing of the vinyl version of Precreation Percolation. Later that year, with a record deal on the table and future classics such as "God! Show Me Magic" and "Hangin' With Howard Marks" already making up the SFA's set list, the band's path following "two years of chaos" was set. In the album's liner notes, singer, Gruff Rhys writes: "It would have been the best gig ever, had we not daisy chained so many synthesizers together, that it resulted in a terminal systems failure." By summer they'd joined Oasis, Primal Scream, and The Jesus and Mary Chain in the Creation Records family, leading to a huge London signing party that saw members of the band famously thrown out of. The term of intriguing genre experimentation, spanning long-form electro, blissed out instrumentals and expansive prog-influenced rock, heard across much of Precreation Percolation was subsequently refined and channeled into their thrilling, 1996 debut album, Fuzzy Logic and their untamed live performances. The vinyl version of this release (STR 079LP) compiles the tracks from their two earliest EPs originally released by Ankst, whilst the 22 track CD features further unreleased and unheard bonus tracks from this early era. The vinyl release comes with a copy of the CD in a slim card wallet. CD includes booklet.

Recorded at the infamous Spahn Ranch in 1970, while their leader Charles Manson was facing trial for the murder of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, The Manson Family Sings is a highly disconcerting listen. Beneath the harmonic brilliance and folksy innocence of these campfire-styled recordings are the hallmarks of Manson's twisted worldview, rendering a dystopian edge to what is otherwise compelling singalongs. Squeaky Frome, Brenda Gold, Gypsy Share and Sandra Blue all feature, with Clem Grogan fronting the beast, the end result being some of the freakiest and troubling songs you are ever likely to encounter!

Following his 1971 conviction for the murder of seven people, including the actress and model Sharon Tate, the notorious cult leader, Beach Boys associate and failed singer-songwriter Charles Manson was sentenced to death, later commuted to life imprisonment. Recorded with just an acoustic guitar in his jail cell, Live At San Quentin dates from 1983 and is probably the most poppy of Manson's improvised far-out folk songs ever committed to tape, with flushing toilets and background conversations adding to the gritty low-fi realism. If you like the Lie album, you need this one too -- Manson fans will not be disappointed!

Spiritual World presents Ashleigh Ball's Center of the Universe, a transcendental flute journey from the singer and flutist of T3al. Center of the Universe is a 32-minute improvisational odyssey recorded inside the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory (DAO), a National Historic Site on Vancouver Island, in British Columbia Canada. Inspired by the pioneering work of Paul Horn and his Inside series, the recording channels a similar spirit of reverent exploration within a space rich in history and resonance. Completed in 1918, the observatory is home to the Plaskett Telescope -- once among the largest and most powerful in the world -- playing a key role in mapping the Milky Way. Following months of coordination, three hours of private access were granted on the morning of August 25, 2025. Beneath the observatory's towering telescope, Ball performed a wordless meditation, moving between alto flute and soprano concert flute, allowing each note to merge with the chamber's vast natural reverb. Tones bloom, linger, and return, carried along the massive curved steel walls. Captured using a minimalist recording approach, Center of the Universe preserves the purity of the moment -- its warmth, stillness, and the architecture's subtle mechanical resonance. Here, the observatory itself becomes an instrument, shaping the sound into something elemental, timeless, and deeply human. RIYL: Paul Horn, Pauline Oliveros, James Newton, Kali Malone.

"San Diego's Mrs. Magician has always bent surf music and punk into something delightfully off-kilter -- sun-soaked, hook-heavy power pop with a lyrical fixation on life's darker undercurrents. Their 2012 debut, Strange Heaven, was a nihilistic pop statement that grew into a cult classic. The 2016 follow-up, Bermuda, sharpened the edges with punchy, nervy songwriting. Both records were produced by John Reis (Rocket From The Crypt, Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu), cementing the band's place in Southern California's underground lineage. Now, Mrs. Magician reemerges with their long-awaited third LP, Spiritual Hangover. Recorded at Dave Grohl's Studio 606 and Singing Serpent Studios with producer Christian Cummings, Spiritual Hangover finds songwriter Jacob Turnbloom trading youthful nihilism for something more reflective. Where earlier records wrestled with existential dread through anthemic defiance, this new collection embraces uncertainty -- an admission of ignorance in the face of the human condition, paired with a genuine longing for connection and understanding. The humor remains. The hooks are sharper than ever. But the perspective has shifted. These songs feel less like a declaration of dominance and more like a celebration of fragility -- an acknowledgment that life is fleeting, confusing, and still worth enjoying. The album features Andrew Montoya (drums) and Mark Rivera (bass) of The Sess, Ian Fowles (guitar) of The Aquabats, and John Reis (guitar). Spiritual Hangover channels the bright urgency of late-'70s power pop through a distinctly Californian lens -- warm, melodic, and irresistibly alive."

"Sultans Ghost Ship LP was originally released on Sympathy For The Record Industry in 2000. While RFTC looked for a new drummer, Speedo (armed with an 8-track tape machine and three microphones) devised yet another alias as 'Slasher' and concocted this primordial ooze of moped scuzz, punk rock and roll. Ghost Ship was met with enthusiasm by those seeking blistering relief from the weak, whiny, wretched and wimpy wannabes du jour. The sound is full on, straight ahead with only starting gates and finish lines between songs. The band played some shows around California and would slightly evolve on their second LP Shipwrecked. Ghost Ship is Sultans at their most thuggish and hairiest. Taking inspiration from Australia's Chosen Few, Ramones, bootlegs, Misfits bootlegs and then challenging themselves to be as thrifty and impatient as possible, the songs are intentionally brief, similar and burly. After this was recorded these tapes lay dormant in a shed for over 20 years. When the tapes were recently unearthed it revealed unreleased songs recorded after Ghost Ship yet before the band's follow up LP Shipwrecked. Some of these songs would later be absorbed by RFTC and re-recorded. These songs are included here as bonus tracks and offer no relief to the record's unrelenting pace."

The new Nu Genea? A real band on Toy Tonics that plays dance music! Drums, bass, percussion, keys... no samples, no computers. Kymono bring together house, Italian pop, Brazil, and jazz. They have amazing skills as musicians, as songwriters, and they rock hard live. It sounds a bit '70s, but also it sounds so post-digital or as some say: organic. It's a band for the lo-fi heads and the people who like groove on a dancefloor. One song features Italian legend Alan Sorrenti on the mic. The rest has a few Italian vocals, which makes it so unique and charming that it will appeal not only to funky house music fans but also to lovers of the current jazz scene.

When Demon released "You Are My High" at the end of 1999, it created a frenzy. Nominated at the Victoires de la Musique and the MTV Awards, the track was on everyone's lips -- including the CSA's, which tried to censor it. 25 years later, the "You" shines brighter than ever, captivating each new generation in turn. Among the most iconic reinterpretations: a lo-fi cover by Agar Agar, remixes by DJ Snake and Central Cee, the You and Me video by Disclosure and Flume, and even a Jean Paul Gaultier campaign.

"Rakim is an American rapper best known as one half of the legendary rap duo Eric B. & Rakim. Rakim is considered a transformative figure in hip hop for raising the bar for MC technique higher than it had ever been. Rakim helped to pioneer the use of internal rhymes and multisyllabic rhymes, and he was among the first to demonstrate the possibilities of sitting down to write intricately crafted lyrics packed with clever word choices and metaphors rather than the more improvisational styles and simpler rhyme patterns that predominated before him. Big Ghost is an anonymous online personality, hip hop writer and blogger, and music producer. He was once best known for his witty writing style and satirical humor on his earlier hip hop album reviews and blog posts. Big Ghost began as a parody of Wu Tang Clan's Ghostface Killah, which many believed to be Ghostface himself. In late 2015, Big Ghost branched out into music production, releasing a free project with production being credited solely to Big Ghost Ltd."

Wordsworth enters as one of the underground's most reliable technicians. A Brooklyn product from the eMC days with Masta Ace, Punchline, and Stricklin, and half of Punchline & Words, he has long mastered the art of packing complex internals into coherent stories. Chemistry is a masterclass in partnership, raw boom-bap refined for the long haul. A must-listen that honors the tradition while quietly advancing it."

When Mollono.Bass and MAZ'N exchange their first ideas for a collaborative project, they talk a lot about playing live. That's why this approach is coded very deep into the DNA of WOODKIN. It's hard not to notice when you watch their creative dialogue unfolding on stage, clearly reminiscent of the real-time dynamics of a concert. It's also very noticeable when listening: Built on songwriting skills and carried by dancefloor expertise, the tracks have a pronounced vibe of something that is alive. The most consistent thing about the sound of Mollono.Bass is that it takes new directions all the time. MAZ'N on the other hand has given expression to his musical passion as singer and piano player in a variety of bands and roles. In consequence, it's impossible to pin down WOODKIN to a particular genre. The organic warmth of house and the melodic momentum of techno are important factors, and so is the open-minded attitude of indie dance -- and last but not least there is the emotional catchiness of the voice, which reflects some sort of modern, electronic take on pop. The self-titled album channels this flood of feelings and movements into a captivating experience that is equally beautiful and compelling on your home sound system, on your headphones on the subway, in the twilight of a club or amidst the rays of dusty sunlight on a buzzing open air dancefloor.

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.

Cloud Management return to Altin Village & Mine for a unique collaboration with New York writer and creative polymath Vivien Goldman. A pairing spanning generations and geography, but with a musical overlap that is quite fitting in both process and result. Cloud Management's jammy, improvisational approach to their dubby electronics blends well with Goldman's idiosyncratic vocal style, which has its origins in the early days of post-punk and UK dub experimentalism. Cloud Management blend many historical aspects of German electronic music into something distinctly their own, while retaining a view well beyond those borders or any particular era. This approach fits well with Goldman's deep multidisciplinary career, not easily defined because of its eclectic abundance across disciplines, yet always orbiting around music as its foundation. When it comes down to it, these are great tracks created in the same way they sound: loose but refined, circling and turning inwards and outwards, back onto themselves. A dub of a dub of a dub, but never falling too far from the source -- the minimalism necessary to deliver a direct, steady resolve and a gripping listen. The B Side of the record features three remixes by artists from across the globe, all with strong connections to the front line of dancehall, dub, and electronic music experimentalism. Longtime Equiknoxx member Time Cow from Kingston (Jamaica), delivers a version of "Quick Cover Up" that represents a major overhaul of the original. This remix strips away much of the looseness of the source material and leans into a lush yet slightly darker atmosphere, created by layered synths and a masterful use of underlying percussion and melodic stabs. Up next are Twin Cities, Minnesota-based Feel Free Hi Fi, who take on "Judge Judge." The duo tighten things up, overlaying weighty vintage string synths and digi-flute melodies. This version feels designed for smoky, late-night dub sound system sessions, harkening back to dub's foundations. Last but not least is London's Pat Orburn. Stripped way down, the remix rides an interplay between alternating minimalism and a more lo-fi but lush exuberance, somewhat reminiscent of a bossa nova-esque minimal synth sound. This version's lo-fi pop sensibility provides a fitting contrast and completes an eclectic yet copacetic trio of remixes for the record.

Richard Pinhas' Heldon remains a crucial outlier in the 1970s European underground, fusing the more radical edges of progressive rock with early synthesizer experimentation in ways that still feel ahead of their time. Released in 1976, Agneta Nilsson captures a moment of consolidation, as extended pieces evolve through cycles of tension, drift, and release. The album's internal logic feels both rigorous and open-ended, balancing restraint with sudden surges of intensity. Reissued for its 50th anniversary, this edition arrives in red vinyl, hand-numbered and limited to 500 copies. Essential material, sharpened for collectors and new listeners alike. Agneta Nilsson opens with a mind-paralyzing track that proves stillness can have a pulse. As on other early Heldon albums, the rest of Agneta Nilsson is diverse in a nearly contrarian way. Each track refuses to mimic its predecessor in a way that feels rebellious, like a child running away from home. This is true despite the fact that three of the four pieces are actually chapters of "Perspective," partners in a thematic whole. The album-closing "Perspective IV" is one of Pinhas' most unabashedly proto-prog guitar-hero epics, boosted by a technical upgrade. "This was the first album where I had enough money to rent one or two days in a real studio to do the drumming," says Pinhas. "After that we had real budgets for studio time. That all changed with and after Agneta Nilsson -- that was a good turn." Pinhas parlayed Heldon's change of direction into three more adventurous albums in the '70s, and simultaneously spurred himself toward a solo career that continues to prod and probe the sonic universe today, over 40 years since he began. It would be wrong to say this album was the big bang of this singular career; the seeds of were planted years before, and every work Pinhas has been involved with sprouts more sounds and ideas that can grow into their own branches. But Agneta Nilsson is one of the most convincing pieces of evidence that Pinhas in incapable of sitting still.

With Un Rêve Sans Conséquence Spéciale, also released in 1976, Heldon extend their vocabulary into darker and more concentrated territory. The interplay of synthesizer and guitar is sharpened here, shaped into structures that feel both deliberate and unstable, balancing precision with a latent volatility. The album unfolds with a heightened sense of pressure, its pieces moving between propulsion and fragmentation without settling into fixed form. Marking its 50th anniversary, the album returns as a limited edition on orange vinyl, hand-numbered in 500 copies. A compelling document of Heldon at their most focused and intense. Richard Pinhas has never been shy of pinpointing his influences while, at the same time, making music that is noticeably distinct from any of his designated sources. He has, for instance, made it clear that a significant font of inspiration was Robert Fripp's guitar style and melding of rock music with cutting-edge electronics (especially in collaboration with Brian Eno). Indeed, Heldon's fifth album -- 1976's Un Rêve Sans Conséquence Spéciale -- was named after a live bootleg of a King Crimson concert. Pinhas first met Fripp in 1974. The pair became friends, and have remained in contact ever since. Pinhas was even offered a deal with E.G. Records, the company that oversaw King Crimson alongside other successful groups like Roxy Music and ELP. Instead, Pinhas forged another path. He launched his own label, Disjuncta, which he later sold to purchase the Moog synthesizer that would make a huge difference to Heldon's sound. Musical benchmarks aside, Heldon's output also drew from radical science fiction (Philip K. Dick, Norman Spinrad, etc.) as well as philosophy. The sleeve of the fifth LP features a quote from Pierre Klossowski's Nietzsche and the Vicious Circle (1969). The book had profound impact on thinkers such as Jean-François Lyotard, who was Pinhas' PhD supervisor at the Sorbonne, and Gilles Deleuze, another mentor and friend to Pinhas right up until the end of Deleuze's life. Heldon never represented a mere facsimile of Pinhas' musical touchstones: King Crimson, Jimi Hendrix, Miles Davis, or Frank Zappa.

Guilty Razors, Parisian punk band (1975-1978). To understand something about their somewhat linear but very energetic sound, we might need to talk about the context in which it was born and, more broadly, recall the boredom (a theme that would become capital in punk songs) coupled with the desire to blow everything off, which were the basis for the formation of bands playing a rejuvenated rock music ; about the passion for a few records by the Kinks or the early Who, by the Stooges, by the Velvet mostly, which set you apart from the crowd. In 1975-76, French music was, as almost always, in a sorry state; it was still dominated by Johnny Hallyday and Sylvie Vartan. Local rock music was also rather bleak, apart from Bijou and Little Bob who tried to revive this small scene with poorly sound-engineered gigs played to almost no one. In the working class suburbs at the time, it was mainly hard rock music played to 11 that helped people forget about their grueling shifts at the factory. It makes sense that the four+1 members of Guilty Razors, who initially amplified acoustic guitars with crappy tape recorder microphones, would adopt punk music (pronounced paink in French) naturally and instinctively, since it combines liberating noise with speed of execution and -- crucially -- a very healthy sense of rebellion. Anything that could challenge authority was fair game and of course, strikes for just about any reason would lead to increasingly frequent truancy (with a definitive farewell to education that would soon follow). Tristam Nada spent his 10th and 11th unfinished grades with José Perez, who had come from Spain, where his father, a janitor, had been sentenced to death by Franco. The first rehearsals of the newly named Guilty Razors took place in the bedroom of a Perez aunt. There, the rookies tried to cover a few standards, songs that often were an integral part of their lives. But like most pioneering punk bands of the era, Guilty Razors eventually split up for good after three years The reason for ceasing business activities were more or less the same for everyone: there were no venues outside one's small circuit to play this kind of rock music, which was still frightening, unknown, or of little interest to most people. Pantone silver metallic cover. Includes booklet with liner notes by Eric Tandy (Olivensteins) in French and English.

RELEASE DATE: 5/22/2026
Australian composer-performers Judith Hamann and James Rushford have worked together in countless projects for two decades, perhaps most notably in Golden Fur, their trio with Sam Dunscombe. Black Truffle presents Midmeste, their first work as a duo. Its title is Middle English for "the middlemost point," alluding to how the piece builds on the points of overlap between the highly personalized musical languages Hamann and Rushford have developed in recent years. Performed on cello and a variety of pipe organs, Midmeste is a spacious, sometimes unsettling exploration of their shared interest in alternative tunings, psychoacoustic phenomena, the physical properties of their instruments, and the usually peripheral sounds generated by the performing body. Beginning with a sequence of austerely vibrato-less harmonics from Hamann's cello, trailed by Rushford's whistling portative organ tones, the music soon expands into a slow-moving melodic wander, pausing at times to linger over an uncomfortable harmony or particularly resonant cello tone. Hamann and Rushford have long histories of engagement with pre-Classical European musical traditions, having in past projects performed and radically extended the work of Solage, Louis Couperin, Johann Conrad Beissell and other composers. Here they use a 15th century song by John Dunstaple, "O rosa bella," which returns throughout the piece, distorted, aerated and splayed into new forms. Developed while the two shared residencies at Akademie Schloss Solitude, Stuttgart in 2020 and La Becque on Lake Geneva in 2023, Midmeste integrates recordings made (at the invitation of the Biennale Son) on the organ of the Basilica St Valere in Sion, Switzerland. Played by both Rushford and Hamann, the instrument's idiosyncratic features, including bellows pumped manually using massive wooden beams, are integrated into the music through amplification. Moving through a series of distinct episodes across its forty-minute span, Midmeste makes space for near-silent duets of high harmonics and hissing air, moments where twittering high tones and rumbling sub-bass could be electronic, and static fields that unexpectedly blossom into almost Romantic harmonies. Listeners familiar with Hamann and Rushford's work will find many familiar features here: the stunningly rich cello tones, their patient sustain allowing heightened awareness of the inner life of sound and its interactions with the environment; the care with which acoustic space is activated, becoming at times a third instrumental voice; the attention to fragile, unstable sonorities that sometimes have a comic edge. A major work from two key figures in contemporary experimental music, Midmeste synthesizes rigorous exploration of fundamental questions of sound and performance with an unapologetic embrace of beauty.

The Outer Edge presents the first FEX live album, Don't Look Back. The release features selected recordings from two concerts in Paderborn and Uelzen, both captured in 1985. All tracks on the album are previously unissued, including entirely unheard songs such as "It's a Hard Life," "Just Get Back," "Legend," and "Waiting Song," alongside a previously unreleased version of "Subways of Your Mind," widely known as "The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet." One of the most striking aspects of the album is the remarkable sound quality of the live recordings, as well as the strength of the performances themselves -- particularly given that FEX were still considered a newcomer band at the time. The four-piece lineup consisted of singer, guitarist, and primary songwriter Ture Rückwardt, Michael Hädrich on keyboards and occasional second guitar, Norbert Ziermann on bass, and Hans-Reimer Sievers on drums. In 1985, the band was preparing for broader exposure through a nationwide tour organized by the small promotion company HBM-Musikbüro. The performances captured here suggest a band capable of delivering consistently, song by song, note by note. It is not difficult to imagine FEX performing in large venues and engaging sizeable audiences. In reality, however, most performances in 1985 took place in front of relatively small crowds. The recordings featured on this album originate from the Roxy club in Paderborn and a small, unknown venue in Uelzen, likely in front of fewer than fifty attendees. An essential figure behind these recordings is the engineer known only under his nickname Hase (German for "rabbit"), who was responsible for capturing not only these concerts but many other surviving FEX recordings. Bringing his own mixing desk to performances, he developed a deep familiarity with the band's material and was able to shape the live sound with precision, including the timely use of vocal effects. The original recordings existed only on cassette and required careful and extensive restoration work. The cover artwork is once again based on an image by Magnussen from the Kiel archive, depicting the Prinz-Heinrich-Brücke. The bridge, once located in the northern part of the city, no longer exists. As a symbol, however, it remains fitting: a bridge stands for movement and connection -- qualities that FEX sought to embody on tour, bringing their music to different places and audiences.

It has been twenty-five years since the seismic events of 2001 -- when twin towers collapsed under terrorist attack and Coventry's sonic insurgent Russell Haswell launched his inaugural salvo on the original Mego label with Live Salvage 1997-2000. The intervening era has delivered unrelenting turbulence: protracted wars, institutional corruption, a global pandemic, the resurgence of fascist currents, rampant media distortion, and omnipresent surveillance. For Haswell, a lifelong admirer of 1970s and 1980s dystopian cinema, the verdict is unequivocal: "Science Fiction is now!" In the face of this darkening reality, Let It Go arrives as both acknowledgment and antidote. This new full length on Editions Mego extends an olive branch through defiant sonic diversity -- an unpredictable mosaic that embraces everything from propulsive rhythms to radical abstraction and enveloping ambience. True to Haswell's core practice, the material draws from the same tactile, free-improvised electroacoustic framework that powers his live sets: immediate, powerful and unscripted. The album weaves reverent echoes of 1990s Detroit techno's hypnotic pulse and the abrasive, metallic edge of the Birmingham sound into fractured generative territories. Haswell returns to his computer-generated origins while integrating his recent modular-synthesis experiments. During a residency at the Bergen Centre for Electronic Arts (BEK) in Norway, he harnessed the latest GRM Tools suite to conjure the volatile, "rapidly fluctuating pitched sounds" that characterized Iannis Xenakis' late electronic works -- resulting in pieces such as "Fall 3" and "Fall 2," where instability becomes a form of vitality. The tracks "Exit Downwards" and "The Anxieties Of Our Time," whilst reflecting the currents of the release, also offer surprisingly melodic patterns over jagged rhythms. The wryly titled "Thu 25 Dec 2025," (recorded in Glasgow after a solitary post-Christmas-lunch walk home) is a vast drone which evolves according to the random walk model -- known more evocatively as the drunken walk -- each sonic step veering unpredictably, mirroring the disoriented lens of contemporary existence. Let It Go is liberation. Amid the cacophony of crumbling certainties, Haswell deploys a full arsenal of resistance: kinetic drive, disorienting rupture, quiet refuge, raw aggression, and tentative hope. In an age where dystopia has shifted from fiction to lived fact, this music asserts that possibility endures.

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

LP version. The iconic Saharan rock band's sixth album, Assikel, is by turns intimate, raw and deeply atmospheric. Recorded on analogue tape, with the band playing live and direct, the album fully captures their instinctive interplay and hypnotic presence. Songs of resistance, community and longing. Music for this moment. For two decades, Tamikrest's music has illuminated the sound, culture and conscience of the Kel Tamasheq (Touareg) people of the Sahara. Tamikrest means "connection" or "union" in Tamasheq, and the band have become one of the Kel Tamasheq's most vital voices, raising awareness of their plight while channeling experiences of exile, loss and resistance. Their sixth studio album, Assikel, which means "voyage" or "journey," shows just how far the band have come. Formed in 2006 by Ousmane Ag Mossa and Cheikh Ag Tiglia, both originally from Tinzawaten near the Mali-Algerian border, Tamikrest emerged under the influence of Tinariwen, those legendary pioneers of Ishumar guitar music. A serendipitous encounter with Glitterbeat's co-founder Chris Eckman and his group Dirtmusic at the 2008 Festival in the Desert in Mali marked the beginning of a long-standing partnership with the label -- one that has since helped bring the band to international attention. They are now an established four-piece with guitarist Paul Salvagnac, who joined in 2012, and percussionist Cédric 'Momo' Maurel, who joined a year later. Assikel marks a deliberate tonal shift. Drawing on years of touring and improvisation, the band chose to record live to analogue tape. The idea was inspired, in part, by their love of the sound created by Altın Gün's engineer/mixer Jasper Geluk. Recording took place over ten days in October 2025 at Jasper's Tone Boutique studio in Haarlem (NL), using a late-1960s 16-track tape machine. The result captures the rawness and spontaneity of the recording process, with this desire to go back to basics also extending to the album cover visuals, which were shot on film to give the artwork a grainy, timeless aesthetic. Thematically, Assikel continues Tamikrest's exploration of exile, displacement and assouf -- that untranslatable Tamasheq word encompassing nostalgia, longing and homesickness. This is, in short, music that only Tamikrest can make. Featuring Ibrahim Ag Alhabib.

"The '90s had some of the best hip-hop soundtracks to complement their respective movies, and were compilations that could stand on their own. From 1991 to 1994, there was New Jack City ('91), Boyz N The Hood ('91), Juice ('92), Menace II Society ('93), and Above The Rim ('94). In between these movies, in 1992, the writers of Back to the Future, Bob Gale, and Robert Zemeckis, brought us Trespass, starring Ice Cube and Ice-T in an inner-city treasure hunt set in an abandoned factory in St Louis. The movie didn't break any box office records, but it was an entertaining film nonetheless. What was better than the movie was the 12-song soundtrack, released in tandem with the movie, featuring some underrated gems by Lord Finesse, Black Sheep, Gang Starr, WC & the MAAD Circle, DJ Quik, affiliates Penthouse Playas Clique and AMG. And for the first time, Ice-T and Ice Cube linked up on a song together for the title track. They would reconnect on 2Pac's second album for Last Wordz. Out of print on vinyl since its original release in 1992, Get On Down is proud to resurrect this soundtrack with a limited-edition pressing on splatter colored vinyl."

"Originally released in 1976 on Piero Umiliani's own Sound Work Shop imprint, Drammi e Speranze -- issued under the pseudonym Rovi -- stands as a refined example of his late-period library work. Performed by a compact string ensemble and subtly augmented by piano, Hammond organ, Eminent organ, and Rhodes, the album unfolds through a series of classically-informed compositions where melody takes center stage. Each piece is concise, evocative, and purpose-built -- reflecting the functional yet highly expressive nature of Italian library music at its peak. Conceptually, the record is structured in two contrasting halves: the first side explores themes of optimism and resolution, while the second delves into darker, more introspective territories, mirroring the emotional duality suggested by its title (Tragedies and Hopes). Long overlooked outside specialist circles, Drammi e Speranze is here presented for the first time ever on vinyl reissue, newly remastered to highlight the depth and tonal richness of Umiliani's arrangements. This release celebrates 100 years since the birth of Piero Umiliani, honoring the enduring legacy of a composer whose work continues to resonate across cinematic, library, and contemporary sample-driven music."

"Composed by Maestro Franco Micalizzi for the cult 1984 film Non C'è Due Senza Quattro, starring the iconic duo Bud Spencer & Terence Hill in a rare fourfold role, this soundtrack captures the playful spirit and global flair of the film. Micalizzi delivers a vibrant and rhythm-driven score, infused with warm Latin influences, breezy melodies, and an unmistakable sense of lightness. The result is a richly entertaining listening experience that perfectly mirrors the film's humor, energy, and escapist charm. A joyful and sun-soaked addition to any collection, this release stands as both a nostalgic tribute and a testament to Micalizzi's enduring legacy in Italian cinema soundtracks -- best enjoyed, perhaps, with a well-mixed cocktail in hand."

Silver color vinyl. "How many music bloggers does it take to change a lightbulb? None, computer screens are backlit. Here is a Wooden Shjips record the world saw coming -- not titled II, Sophomore, or Second, but Dos. The group maintains its strident pace like a silverfish rave in perfectly folded bedsheets, with more bounce per ounce as life goes jogging with bopping heads and digging heels. Five numbers whose style might fit as cozily at La Cave in 1968 as at Ibiza in 1988. Natural loops with just enough vocals take you where the khakis and the cut-offs play together. Dos sounds off as the inauguration speech of a group accepting the minimalist psych bop crown that once adorned the likes of Neu and Loop. If possible, their brand of whipping fuzz hooks have gotten groovier. 'Motorbike' begins the program with an attack of bleeding organ and cicada chirps -- a wiley, wheel-spinning cloud-kicker indeed. 'For So Long' introduces the hip-swayed, shoulder-dropping dance steps of the album. At this point, the guitar delivers a concise Fogerty/Karoli vibe of stiff and loose kraut blues. Closing side one is the stop-motion go-go anthem 'Down by the Sea.' Imagine yourself in the back of a cigarette boat with Alan Vega and Takashi Mizutani circling Easter Island. Smile as you melt under the glare of their mirrored sunglasses staring your own face back at you. The needle drops on side two. Beyond the dawning of the age is 'Aquarian Time,' a dense number that demands more weed and less booger-sugar. A steady plink of keys blipping like bright satellites in dark space accents this track's blissed-out sludge. The hypnotic pop grace of 'Fallin',' the soundtrack for the last log on the fire as Winter eternally breaks into Spring, will stick in your mind until the record is played again on speakers of any size."

LP version. Orange Neon/Yellow Neon/Green Neon/Blue splatter color vinyl. There comes a point in every band's life when originality stops being a virtue and honesty takes the wheel. On their 11th long-playing record, Forgeries (72-84), 16 return to the impulse that first dragged them into loud rooms and bad ideas: the urge to steal what you love and make it semi-unrecognizable through devotion. The band have partnered with Heavy Psych Sounds Records to release a collection of covers that function less as homage and more as a possession to be given away. The artwork, rendered by the ever-amazing Marald, completes the ritual, iconic, unsettling, and unafraid. From the early '90s onward, 16 have treated covers as translations rather than as replicas, acts of tribute and emulation, filtered through distortion, fatigue, and lived experience. In the band's collective head, this album exists because these songs demanded it. In the end, Forgeries (72-84) stands as both a thank you note and a theft, a reminder that all music worth a damn is borrowed, broken, and passed on between friends. The selections on Forgeries (72-84) span eras and attitudes, unified not by genre but by necessity. Each track is a document of obsession, of influence absorbed and re-expressed without permission.

LP version. Red/blue splatter color vinyl. Your favorite weed sludgers are ready to come back with their fourth studio album, the aptly titled Stoned Villains, out on your beloved Heavy Psych Sounds Records. The band's distinctive sound emerges immediately after the first listen: seven tracks of heavy, sulfurous doom-sludge, with influences ranging from the '90s to Turin-inspired hardcore punk, the scene in which these "villains" were formed and raised. Heavy and cutting guitars, a seismic rhythm section, and Gingerzilla's voice barking out ungraceful tales of weed abuse and uncontrolled eating. The song titles perfectly describe Tons: a band that doesn't take itself too seriously and uses irony as its strong point.

Dogma marks a new beginning for Coloray. As the name suggests, the project explores the endless search for meaning in a world that does not always offer one. Across 11 tracks, the artist reflects on queer romance, grief, youthful hope, and melancholic joy. Emotional, chaotic, and imperfect, Dogma mirrors both the artist and the messy reality of a life unfolding. Rather than forcing rigid structures, the album embraces looseness and human presence. Live recordings and improvised songwriting take center stage- every lyric was written in the moment, and the tracks remain intentionally raw to preserve their imperfections. In this way, the album is both personal and political. It calls for belief in keeping humanity alive and for dismantling the societal dogmas that push artists away from the core of their creative identity. Dogma is an honest journey of self-authorship, unfolding through the sounds of new wave, disco-punk, electro, and ambient music.

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.

Originally released on Ezekiel Honig's Anticipate label in 2007, Standing on a Hummingbird is the debut album by Canadian sound artist Mark Templeton, now appearing for the first time on vinyl, newly remastered by Giuseppe Ielasi and cut by LUPO. Working at the intersection of post-glitch, electroacoustic ambient, and textural minimalism, Templeton composes through restraint and erosion, building patient and richly tactile pieces primarily from acoustic sources -- fingerpicked guitar, plaintive banjo, muted accordion tones -- subjected to careful processes of granulation, filtering, and environmental masking. These gestures never overwhelm the source material; instead, they wonderfully destabilize it. Melodies appear briefly, only to dissolve into dense atmospheres of field recordings: distant streets, birds, water, air. Sounds hover, vibrate, and vanish, much like the wing beating latent in the album's title. Tracks such as "Pattern For a Pillow" and "Amidst Things Uncontrolled" articulate this approach with particular clarity, setting languid acoustic figures against churning granular backdrops that feel at once sheltering and unstable. Elsewhere, moments of fragile clarity -- fluttering guitar lines, reedy accordion tones -- briefly break the surface before being absorbed back into the field. Heard today, the record offers a clarion, almost spartan strain of textural ambient music: intricate yet unforced, shaped by human touch rather than automated excess. Its refusal of spectacle feels especially vital in a landscape saturated with maximalist digitalia -- a reminder that electronic music's most enduring gestures often occur where sound is allowed to tremble and hold itself just long enough to be felt before disappearing once again. (Alex Cobb, 2026)

On Dreams '24/'25, Scottish composer Bill Wells turns his nocturnal imagination into a sequence of delicate musical miniatures. The album brings together 24 short pieces, most of them under two minutes, unfolding in just under half an hour like a quietly drifting dream diary. The album is split into two parts. On the Dreams 2024 side, Norman Blake lends his voice to Wells' dream-born melodies. Blake, best known as a founding member of Teenage Fanclub, recorded the songs with Wells in a single afternoon at his home, capturing their fragile immediacy in direct and unadorned performances. For Dreams 2025, Aby Vulliamy -- one of Yorkshire's best kept musical secrets -- takes over vocal duties. In mid-2025, Wells sent her a batch of demos; Vulliamy recorded them at home and sent them back to him. The result is a second chapter that feels more introspective, intimate and gently surreal. The songs themselves are born directly from dreams. Wells wakes from the dream, records it on his mobile and later shapes it into a brief, lyrical composition. One piece, "Mackenzie's Return," was inspired by a dream in which Elvis Costello marched through the streets of a suburban town complaining that he had run out of song ideas, a detail that perfectly captures the album's blend of humor, strangeness and quiet melancholy. Dreams '24/'25 is not a collection of fully formed pop songs, but rather a series of fleeting emotional snapshots: soft voices, simple motifs, and melodies that appear and vanish before they can fully settle. It is an album that rewards close listening, inviting the listener into a private, half-lit space somewhere between memory and imagination. The album is accompanied by a striking cover artwork by Annabel Wright.

Pepijn Caudron, aka Kreng, transports you through the swirling darkness and into the unknown with Wormhole, his first album in over a decade. What does a trip towards another world sound like? The master of tension, melancholy, and the deranged is back after a long period working in the worlds of theatre and cinema. Last seen on Miasmah with the grief stricken The Summoner, Kreng now returns with Wormhole, following closer in the footsteps of the cult classics L'Autopsie Phénoménale de Dieu (2009) and Grimoire (2011). Starting with "You Are Here", the listener travels through a vacuum of spacious minimalism and edge-of-your-seat tension. Within the journey, we are pulled and lured towards a mystic inner core and beyond, encountering drifting fragments of old-world nostalgia on the way: echoes of empty jazz bars sit alongside hellish, Hieronymus Bosch-like scenarios. Surrendering to the album reveals a surprisingly reflective beauty beneath its darkness; it's a true home-listening gem that unfolds like a Lovecraftian cosmic horror-mystery in the way only Kreng could deliver. Forget everything you know and enter the secret door... Gatefold sleeve; includes download code; edition of 500.

Brussels-based Maloca presents Paradise Mountain, the new release from Katatonic Silentio, DJ and production moniker of Italian sound artist Mariachiara Troianiello. Positioned in counterpoint to her darker, more visceral work, the record delicately folds Detroit electro and techno drum structures into a softened New Age glow, generating environments that breathe, shimmer, and slowly coalesce. Across the album, tracks unfold gently, rife with wet modular tones, chromatic arpeggiations, and light-touch percussion which drifts in and out of focus, blurring the line between dancefloor function and inward-facing sound art. Paradise Mountain ultimately traces a slow ascent through luminous, carefully crafted terrain -- quietly joyful and deeply hypnotic in its approach.

"Rock 'n Roll With The Modern Lovers is the second album released by The Modern Lovers. The band was formed in 1970 by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Jonathan Richman, augmented with Jerry Harrison (keyboards), Ernie Brooks (bass), and David Robinson (drums). Richman's friend John Felice joined them occasionally. Their sound almost totally focusses on the sound from the '50s. The lo-fi record breathes folky roots music and rock 'n roll as it would sound ages ago. The albums features the popular tracks 'Ice Cream Man,' 'Roller Coaster By The Sea,' and 'Egyptian Reggae.' The latter was a cover version of Earl Zero 'None Shall Escape The Judgement' and became a UK Top 5 hit. Rock 'n Roll With The Modern Lovers is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on silver colored vinyl."

"Cranes is a dream pop/shoegaze band formed by siblings Alison and Jim Shaw who rose to stardom following a world tour with the Cure in 1992. After the influential Dedicated label folded in 1998 they went on a two-year hiatus after which they set up their own label Dadaphonic. Here, they released three studio albums between 2001 and 2008, of which this record is their first. Between 1986 and 1997 Cranes released a steady stream of records on Bite Back! and of course Dedicated, and when the latter folded, the Shaw siblings took a relatively long break from recording. Then, in 2001 they returned with a different bassist and drummer, their new Dadaphonic label and a fantastic new record to go along with it. A breath of fresh air, Future Songs acts as a bridge between their somewhat brusque approach to shoegaze from the '90s and electronica-infused sound from the zeroes. A remarkable effort, especially considering the Shaws recorded almost everything on their own. Future Songs is available as a 25th anniversary edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on yellow marbled vinyl and includes an insert."

"After breaking through with a gold selling debut in the late 1990s, Harlem emcee Cam'ron quickly emerged as a leading figure in hip-hop, just as the genre was reaching mass audiences for the first time. A platinum-selling classic on Roc-A-Fella Records came a few years later, followed by the founding of the iconic collective Dipset and the release of three more seismic solo albums over the course of the 2000s. The last chapter in his historic run was 2009's Crime Pays, which drew praise from critics while also lighting up the Billboard Charts, showcasing Cam's sonic evolution while proving his pen game remained unmatched. More than 15 years after its release, this vital collection is now receiving an official vinyl pressing for the first time ever. A perpetually underrated lyricist with transcendent rhyme mechanics embedded in his leisurely flow, Cam'ron is in peak form on Crime Pays, effortlessly walking listeners through the details of his fascinating life and times. With surprisingly modern production supplied by AraabMuzik, I.N.F.O., Skitzo, and more, this memorable album is an important chapter in the story of a truly essential artist."

Artist and multi-instrumentalist Flaer looks to the landscape to explore pastoral melancholy on debut release, Preludes. It is released in a second edition black vinyl, with an alternate cover artwork. Ensconced in his family home in rural Leicestershire in the early months of 2020, painter and musician Realf Heygate (b. 1994) picked up his childhood cello for the first time in several years and began to play. Setting himself parameters to only record onto 4-track tape with acoustic instruments -- cello, piano and acoustic guitar -- he assembled a suite of instrumental compositions that form the basis of Preludes, his debut album as Flaer and the inaugural release on Odda Recordings. Channeling the tension and unease between the pastoral idyll of the English countryside and the darkness which lurks beneath the surface, the mini-album draws inspiration from the analogue aesthetic of 1970s folk horror films, weaving field recordings of birdsong, church bells and the natural environment into chimerical melodies that reflect on Heygate's childhood experiences of rural England. Developed over a series of intuitive musical enquiries, the mini-album's uncanny quality emerges from combining raw demo takes with overdubs of almost orchestral grandeur. As a painter, Heygate's practice takes artefacts through sequences of reproduction that embrace the fluctuating materiality of the copy. Describing his artistic practice as one of self-erasure, music instead provides Heygate with a more personal and autobiographical outlet. Where the two worlds combine is on Preludes' striking artwork, which features paintings of 13th-century stone carvings from the font of the church in the town where he grew up. Speaking to a time where people were connected to the land in a more profound way, each symbol is assigned to a track on the album, which Heygate likens to giving them a title.

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

Shaped from fragile, emotionally charged piano motifs that distort, disappear and transform into dense, cinematic textures, CANALS is a debut that's finely matured, the result of years of friendship and growth. Italian artist Vanja Sturno and Montréal-based Belgian-Spanish composer Pablo Geeraert (aka Sanea Ima) have worked together extensively on various projects up until now, but CANALS is their first official release as a duo. Having both studied music academically, the pair were eager to work more intuitively, so applied their well-honed set of skills to sound that, instead of fitting into a conceptual box, reflected more personal experiences. Back in 2023, Geeraert travelled to Rome to support his friend at a difficult time and, during the trip, received some bad news of his own. The complicated feelings unconsciously surged through a series of delicate Ryuichi Sakamoto-inspired piano improvisations and a new project began to coalesce. They didn't realize it at the time, but once the record was finished, Sturno and Geeraert began to understand that the entire process had been a form a joint catharsis - a release of pressure. They were able to function so effortlessly and swiftly because they had already provided the space for each other to resonate emotionally and the music flowed from that point. On the first segment, Sturno and Geeraert's initial recordings can be perceived most nakedly, the melancholy, Satie-like phrases floating peacefully for a moment before the tranquility is agitated by stormy distortions and swelled into thick waves of harmony. The piano provides the record with its emotional anchor, offering focus and clarity as multi-dimensional noise wells up around it before inevitably dissipating, leaving gentle, unadorned sounds once again. And the familiar instrument is reshaped into a wheezing artificial organ on the animated "CANALS III," punctuated by percussive, tape-warped pitch fluctuations that seem to bite into its very essence. Gauzy acoustic granulations snowball into a powerful, bass-heavy crescendo on the fourth part, setting the tenor for the album's second half. But after the crushing "CANALS VI," possibly Sturno and Geeraert's heaviest track, a brief tremolo-heavy vignette that ripples through experimental rock and ambient music's braided history, the duo clear the air with a jazzy diversion, introducing soft woodwind blasts as a palate cleanser before an epic, widescreen finale. It's an album that's best absorbed as a whole, a vortex of ritualistic, rhythmic repetitions that Sturno and Geeraert appropriately refer to as "spiral listening."

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

Following their 2024 debut La grande accumulation (PING 086LP), Anadol (Gözen Atila) and Marie Klock return with Manivelles. Hailed by The Quietus as a duo that pushes each other to "greater heights of oddness," the pair produces an undefinable mix of folk, kraut, and pop nested inside expansive organ-based arrangements. The album's nine tracks emerged from intensive improvisations in Paris and Istanbul, brought to life with an odd mix of tools: from Prophet-5 and Jupiter-6 synths to mechanical Pianet clatter and even a salad spinner repurposed as a drone. Klock's French lyrics navigate the miniature and the cosmic, exploring the small tragedies of everyday life -- botched holiday gatherings, lingering heartbreak or the absence of a loved one. Born from a moment of catharsis during an Istanbul earthquake that ended a period of writer's block, the record draws its material from lived experience and a lasting friendship. Its title, Manivelles -- meaning "cranks" -- hints at the musical partners' creative penchant for generating songs through friction and playful contradictions. From the shouted pastiche of "Symposium" to the sparse synth pulses of "Une grande tragédie polonaise," it's an album with a wonderfully wonky heart that sounds like faint signals from a beautifully failing transmitter. For Fans of: Bruce Haack, Leonora Carrington, Véronique Vincent & Aksak Maboul, Dominique Guiot, Aline Kominsky-Crumb, Albert Marcoeur Quentin Smirhes, Deux Filles, Woo, Le Zerep, Philippe Katerine, Dominique André.

Ataxia return to Planet E with two club-optimized cuts that capture their rolling, characterful approach to the authentic roots of Detroit's electronic culture. Both tracks deliver energy tapped from a fundamental understanding of house and techno, equally charged with their punk and DIY background. Immediately establishing a deep, hypnotic beat, "The Whistles" expands into a collage of unruly samples that tour the club, the street and the true characters between. "Hocus On Pocus" is a tightly wound, punchy psychedelic wormhole of analogue FX and rubbery basslines, adding layers of pressure and surprising sonic twists.

French composer and sound artist Franck Vigroux returns to raster with a new album called Sonnailles. Conceived as a sequence-driven work, Sonnailles unfolds through a series of tightly structured musical passages interspersed with fragments of voices that appear within the compositions like ghostly presences. These vocal shards drift through the sonic landscape, punctuating Vigroux's dense electronic textures and amplifying the album's sense of tension and movement. At the heart of the project lies a deliberate contrast: the collision of raw, almost primitive sonic force with an underlying sense of compositional sophistication. Vigroux crafted the music with an ear for immediacy and physical impact, exploring how rough textures and driving rhythms can coexist with intricate sound design. The album was also inspired by two unusual invitations that pushed the artist beyond his typical performance environments: a rock and punk festival in France and a series of techno club performances in China. These contexts led Vigroux to imagine music whose primary purpose was to move bodies on the dance floor -- an approach that marks a new direction in his work. For Vigroux, the challenge was particularly compelling. Alongside his musical practice, he frequently collaborates with dancers and stages multidisciplinary performances known for their radical physicality. With this new album, he brings those parallel worlds together, completing a circle in his ongoing exploration of the relationship between sound and the moving body -- where composition, rhythm, and physical motion converge.

Sonedo is a scene-builder. The Japanese-Scottish producer, pianist and bandleader is pioneering a vital new UK sound that threads jazz improvisation with rap and grime. His music is collaborative and elastic, a blend of live instrumentation interwoven with MCs and vocalists. Equally, at home in a jazz setting or in the club, he has earned support from Jamz Supernova and Gilles Peterson on BBC Radio 6 Music for his work with Rebecca Vasmant; received the Peter Whittingham Jazz Development Award; and headlined his debut show at Lancaster Jazz Festival, cementing his place as one of most compelling new voices bridging Scotland's jazz and rap communities. Sonedo grew up surrounded by a large Japanese family, first finding his voice at the piano in his cousin's house at the age of seven. Now based in Glasgow and completing his studies at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, he is emerging as a distinctive new presence in UK jazz. A lifelong fan of A Tribe Called Quest, J. Cole and particularly Kendrick Lamar, his sound also draws from jazz innovators such as Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea, alongside the modern UK movement led by Alfa Mist, Yussef Dayes, Venna and Glasgow's own Corto.Alto. As long-standing Musical Director and bandleader for BEMZ (winner of the BBC Introducing Scottish Act of the Year Award), Sonedo has become an indispensable bridge between the Scottish jazz and rap scenes, and he has overseen expansive live sets at venues including SWG3 and festivals such as Kelburn Garden Party. His production work reflects the same cross-genre fluency. His collaborative projects span house and jungle-inflected drum & bass, and he has also brought his hybrid live approach into electronic spaces, performing at Edinburgh's FLY Open Air where he played keys alongside DJs. A rapidly rising talent, Sonedo continues to expand on a signature sound that at its core is collaborative, culturally fluid, and firmly rooted in both jazz tradition and contemporary UK club culture. Featuring Malachai, Orpheus, Kyi Synclair, Lorry, Priya, Psweatpants, and CLBRKS.

"The title of this album was suggested by Satoko Fujii. It's a Japanese word meaning a heart-to-heart conversation between intimate friends (what a lovely thing to have a word for! She chose it, 'because when I play with Myra, I always feel like I am having a conversation with my close friend.' Clearly Melford feels the same way. It's rare to hear music in which both participants are so present in the moment and where the deepest truths of the heart are revealed so openly. Melford and Fujii share a history together that is longer than their recordings might indicate. Katarahi is just their second album as a duo. Fujii was a student at New England Conservatory studying with Paul Bley in 1994 when he introduced her to Melford at a Melford solo concert in Boston. They have maintained a friendship over the years since then. Their desire to play together finally became a reality in January 2007 when Fujii arranged a duo concert while Melford was visiting a friend in Tokyo. A second concert at Maybeck recital hall in Berkeley, Calif., followed in September of that year. Since then, despite the comparatively few concert venues with two pianos available, Fujii says, 'I think we played together twice or three times in Japan, twice in America, twice in Italy, Belgium, Poland, and Austria. I guess we have a history!' The entire album, recorded live at the 2024 Jazz Festival Leibnitz, could be described as a deep, and especially beautiful, musical conversation. It is also something more. It's customary on duet recordings to mention who is playing on the right channel and who on the left in order to help identify who plays what. However, Fujii and Melford don't want that mentioned. First of all, they switched pianos (that is sides) during the concert, so it would be cumbersome to note. More importantly, the responsibility for creating the music is so mutual that noting individual contributions is almost beside the point--the sum is so much greater than the parts."

Aigua Ballant ("Dancing Waters") is a musical fusion where the Mediterranean soul meets the deep-rooted mysticism of Central Asia. Inspired by the surprising resonance between the work melodies of Balearic Islands and Pitises Islands and the haunting beauty of Persian and Byzantine melodies, Qanat weaves together the rich traditions of the Mediterranean, Mesopotamia, and Persia. The project blends old Balearic work songs with the modal textures of Middle Eastern and Central Asian music -- including influences from Iran, Turkey, Tajikistan, and the ancient region of Khorasan. At the heart of the project is the remarkable melodic kinship between Balearic field songs -- once sung during rural labor -- and the ancient echoes of Byzantine chant. Qanat bridges these traditions, crafting new musical landscapes through original compositions, instrumental dialogues, and vocal ornamentations that celebrate the shared soul of these distant-yet-connected cultures.

With his latest album, Inside The Cage, Vienna-based Salamirecorder once again presents stylish '60s garage sound. Following his last LP on Bachelor Records, which he recorded with his band The Hi-Fi Phonos, he recorded ten songs for Inside The Cage entirely on his own using a four-track tape recorder. Of course, 23-year-old Salamirecorder is far too young to have experienced the world-changing era of rock `n' roll himself. But his persona embodies its historically rebellious spirit. His style was shaped by his early passion for 2010s genre greats such as Ty Segall and Bass Drum of Death, which he developed while skateboarding. These days, Salamirecorder is well connected, but less through social media than in real life. He is respected by both beat-loving young kids and gray-haired scene veterans such as Wild Evil & The Trashbones and The Jaybirds, plays acclaimed gigs with his perfectly rehearsed backing combo The Hi-Fi Phonos, and is a drummer, guitarist, and singer in bands such as Laundromat Chicks, Sux Sux Sux, and Telebrains. As a producer, he recently recorded Vic Velvet's solo debut on tape. For him, analog is not just a purist principle of faith, but an artistic and political decision. In a world of endless digital possibilities, the salami recorder finds a paradoxical freedom by "limiting itself a little bit."

Deaf Center travel through quiet pathways and grand boulevards in their fourth studio album Through Time. Since their last full-length LP, Low Distance (2019), the duo has gradually shifted towards a more long-form electroacoustic sound which perhaps makes for their most immersive listening experience so far. Otto A Totland's piano travels in less frequent rhythms than before, yet is felt even more as a relief in the quieter moments that contrast with Erik K Skodvin's deep atmospheric worlds. There's a searching quality within the record which feels like slow movements on the way towards something meaningful, capturing a sense of both peace and awe. The latter part of the album takes a different turn: fluctuating electronic rhythms over deep strings create an ecstatic yet haunting duality. It is the first time a guest musician appears on a Deaf Center record: British composer and musician Simon Goff joins with violin and viola in the finale, "Further", a hypnotizing piece submerged in layers of strings and drones. The subject of time is an ambitious one, yet Deaf Center manage to balance the humble with the grand in great warmth as seconds become minutes, hours become days and time seemingly freezes as a still-life moment. Full-tone artwork; includes printed inner; includes download code.

Berlin-based duo Mug present their debut album The Well. With a range of influences from no-wave, shoe-gaze, rock, and ambient, Mug's emotional rawness refracts through a lens of spectral soundscapes and austere textures. Intimate and sincere, The Well is about licking your wounds after a breakup, finding light within the cracks and letting it grow. Ludwig Wandinger and Yves B Golden began their musical collaborations based on mutual respect and interest in each artist's vastly different backgrounds. Golden grew up singing in her grandmother's Pentecostal church, but is known widely for published essays and poetry. Wandinger, is an internationally acclaimed drummer, music producer and visual artist, interacting in various fringe music scenes. What began as long distance collaborations released under various outlets such as Caterina Barbieri´s light years, Wandinger and Golden, now living in the same city, morphed into a protracted exploration of songwriting and improvisation, a process defined by immediacy and unfiltered expression: "first thought, best thought." Though The Well marks the first release from this impulse driven duo, this album promises an ongoing evolution, or discovery, wherein genre specificity is inconsequential.

Color vinyl. "Legendary band Lightning Bolt's Wonderful Rainbow is one of the most quintessential albums to come from the underground in the last 20 years. Included in lists like Pitchfork's '200 top albums of the 2000s' and the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, Lightning Bolt's seminal record solidified their place as pillars of the underground community. Wonderful Rainbow saw the duo of Brian Chippendale (drums/vocals) and Brian Gibson (bass) being compared to the likes of Slayer, Ornette Coleman, and early Boredoms, and captured the bristling, immeasurable energy of their mythical live shows, which continue to astonish audiences today. The album's now iconic artwork (drawn by Chippendale) mirrors the music's curious and exhilarating blend of chaos, noise, intense beauty, and childlike wonderment. Lightning Bolt paved the way for countless artists who followed them, cracking the noise-rock and underground scenes wide open with an album as frenetic and violent as it is overflowing with joyful abandon."

Angriff auf's Schlaraffenland: Ein Deutschpunk-Mixtape ("Attack on the Land of Milk and Honey: Punk in Germany from Then to Now"). The first singles that were later categorized as punk appeared in 1976. This makes for a fitting 50-year anniversary, which Tapete Records celebrates with a compilation. "Punks are the old farts of today," Vomit Visions already noted back in 1980. And doesn't that essentially say it all about punk -- the historicization of the genre, its musical conservatism, and the hype around milestone anniversaries. Punk bands are still being formed in Winnenden, Limburg, and Hoyerswerda -- just as they were in 1978, 1983, and 2013. And like this musical journey through time, they care little about neat definitions of Deutschpunk. Instead, this compilation opens itself up to different styles and voices of punk with German lyrics. What unites the songs is that, on the one hand, they are rooted in punk, and on the other, in the German language -- yet they create something of their own. In their most compelling moments, they struggle as much with the German language as they do with punk itself. Like any good mixtape, this compilation is based purely on musical aspects and pays no attention to release years. Featuring The Shocks, S.Y.P.H., Östro 430, Carambolage, Toxoplasma, and more.

A new EP by Extrawelt is always something special, as they continually manage to reinvent themselves while remaining unmistakably true to their sound. The A-side "Moonster" of their latest record forms a subtle and almost magical bridge to early musical influences such as Immortal Coil, Chris & Cosey, The Cure, and Throbbing Gristle. Beyond that, the track unfolds through numerous facets, constantly shifting and evolving. Just when you think it is settling into a familiar direction, small variations emerge, keeping the piece remarkably alive and unpredictable. You can clearly sense how much fun Extrawelt had working on this track. It is bursting with ideas.

Neon orange LP. Edition of 300 copies. Includes download code. Primal Forms, the new album by Phantom Horse, finally arrives. The German duo of Ulf Schütte and Niklas Dommaschk have long established a reputation for expertly crafted, hypnotically slow-burning electronic music, and Primal Forms stands among the epitomes of their discography. The sequencing of Primal Forms cannot be underestimated. It is an album in the classic sense. It demands to be listened to in its entirety, which also points to a closer affinity with Krautrock. Likewise, a touch of dub is perceptible, wafting around the songs, which, as usual, bear clandestine titles. It is not unreasonable to see in these compact compositions a clear statement against multitasking. Phantom Horse are not trumpeters of dystopia. They present themselves resolutely, almost stoically, turned away from the world. This turning away is clearly a statement that can be contemplated in the Mariana Trench as well as in comet belts. In any case, it is best experienced in a space without any human beings. This does not mean that grumpy hermits are tinkering with synths behind closed shutters, armed with wooden walking sticks. This is still open-minded music with a connection to current developments. The approach itself is what is audible, and with it, Phantom Horse proves once again that their main connection to time is timelessness. In an age of all-encompassing distraction on every sensory, thematic, and semantic level, Phantom Horse explores the possibilities of reduction, searching for simplified melodic arcs without resorting to the vocabulary of classical minimalism. The overall impression is more electronic; the slowly shifting, polyrhythmic compositions repeatedly lead to a peculiar danceability. However, these are perhaps the dances of mechanical birds, undeterred by anything. Written and produced in Hamburg, Nijmegen and Ojén by Niklas Dommaschk and Ulf Schütte. Mastering by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll. Artwork by Daniel Castrejón.

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

øjeRum is the moniker of Danish artist Paw Grabowski. Since 2007, his mostly tape-based works have unfolded like private diaries -- intimate, textural, often centered around a vintage pump organ Paw found left abandoned in a dilapidated Danish home, and to which he would return, sometimes in the dead of winter, to play and record on. The works featured on this release are centered around this pivotal engagement and collect some of his earliest releases from around 2014 to 2017. These were then carefully selected and released via Vaagner's sister label in 2018 via a double cassette release, which has since become a coveted collectors' item. Throughout the album, the organ breathes, sighs -- the moments of brief silence that follow are almost palpable, then like a sonorous echo, the sound rushes back into the foreground with gentle restraint, submerging the listener into an undulating current of emotional upheaval. In this ebb and flow, øjeRum shapes a space where memory seems to waver and dissolve, and where a fragile, lingering melancholy unfolds with a kind of hushed inevitability. With the newly minted Vaagner.Archive, this album is now reissued on vinyl for the first time -- carefully remastered and housed in a 2LP gatefold sleeve printed on special cardboard, its tactile presence echoing the material sensitivity that has always defined Paw Grabowski's practice. A love letter to repetition and restraint.

Black Jacket is a love letter between two bands separated by continents but united by mutual admiration. Contriva, of Berlin, and Chessie of Washington, DC, first came together in 2001 when sharing a stage, sparking a deep connection over their respective takes on textural, emotive, and mostly instrumental music that merges post-rock, ambient, and experimental elements into unique visions. Fast forward two decades and many trips to their respective studios and now comes Black Jacket, a double LP of musical alchemy that builds upon the expressionistic, idiosyncratic sounds of these two groups. A new classic that proves far greater than the sum of its parts. Begun in the mid 1990's, Washington DC's Chessie is Stephen Gardner (also of noisy shoegaze pioneers, Lorelei) and Ben Bailes, whose various LP's for Slumberland's Dropbeat imprint and Plug Research pair abstract electronics and melancholy post-rock in search of the sounds and feelings of railways and train travel. Berlin's Contriva, (Monika Enterprises, Lok Musik, and Morr Music) features Masha Qrella (known for her solo works for Morr Music), Max Punktezahl (also of Munich indie legends the Notwist and Berlin's Jersey and Saroos), Hannes Lehmann and Rike Schuberty. For over a decade beginning in the mid-1990s, Contriva crafted compelling instrumentals, grafting experimental textures onto beautiful and complex indie songs. Together, the six of them have created Black Jacket.

For over a decade beginning in the mid-1990s, Contriva crafted compelling instrumentals, grafting experimental textures onto beautiful and complex indie songs. Together, the six of them have created Black Jacket.

"I first encountered Pascal Comelade's music thirty years ago -- and nothing has sounded quite the same since. I was immediately captivated: he is an artist like no other, whose sincere and selfless love of music is always evident, especially in his tender reworkings of other people's songs. Comelade seems to work like a watchmaker: meticulous, precise, and obsessive -- yet always drifting into something dreamlike. His music opens hidden doors, telling strange and beguiling stories filled with obscurity, kindness, and reserved humor. Back then, my fascination was instinctive. Today, with a few more words at my disposal, I look to this exceptional 70-year-old French musician and feel exactly the same pull. Métaphysique Du Hit-Parade is the first vinyl compilation devoted to Pascal Comelade's favorite cover versions. It spans a forty-year career and traces sixty years of rock and roll history along the way. 'Sheena Is a Punk Rocker' becomes a soft, soothing lullaby that may well have made the Ramones weep. Then there are his idiosyncratic tributes to Jonathan Richman ('Egyptian Reggae') and The Kinks ('Sunny Afternoon'), alongside nods to formative heroes such as The Gun Club, Captain Beefheart, and MC5. Two exclusive recordings stand out particularly: Bob Dylan's 'Girl from the North Country' and Nirvana's 'Come As You Are' -- a song that shaped my early youth. Both were recorded especially for this release." --Jan Lankisch, January 2026

Lau Nau (Laura Naukkarinen), Linda Fredriksson, and Matti Bye enter the We Jazz Records realm as Kiri Ra!, a trio that creates their sound slowly, in a process of improvisation and discovery. Filtered through the musicians' long-standing friendship and collaboration, Kiri Ra!'s music is a testament to the joy of creation and invention. Their sound together draws from each of the artists' work before, while creating new world of sound. Their music is about letting go and being free to take in the even softest whisper and the most minute sonic particle to complete a mosaic filled with beauty. Kiri Ra! follow their own path with courage, showing how letting go can create new worlds. From Kiri Ra!: "This music does not try to be anything. No pre-determined references, we get into our recording sessions without any verbal communication. It's more like a state of mind where we are not trying anything, we just see what happens. We create a moment that is unexpected and doesn't have any locked direction. We are not trying to be anything, We are existing together. This music was made with a lot of time. We drank coffee and tea. Played. Enjoyed pulla and cookies. Played a bit more. We talked. We were slow. It took 10 years to combine the right pieces for the album. We were not in a hurry. Keywords: air, space, love, time, rest, electronic, synthetic, organic, warmth, wood." RIYL: Linda Fredriksson "Juniper", Lau Nau, Matti Bye, Laraaji, Laurie Spiegel, Joanna Brouk, Nala Sinephro, ambient, abstract electronic music.

Wewantsounds continues its extensive reissue program of Meiko Kaji's early discography, originally released by Teichiku Records in Japan between 1972 and 1974. The Quentin Tarantino muse -- famous for her starring roles in Lady Snowblood and Stray Cat Rock -- was also a gifted singer. Otoko Onna Kokoro No Aika is another collection of superb cinematic songs featuring Kaji's signature mix of Japanese pop and groove, backed by lush, atmospheric orchestrations. This includes her rendition of "Tokyo Nagare Mono," the theme song for Seijun Suzuki's cult 1966 film Tokyo Drifter. This reissue features the original artwork, an OBI strip, and a four-page insert with new liner notes by Hashim Kotaro Bharoocha, who interviewed Meiko Kaji for the occasion. Japanese actress Meiko Kaji has become a worldwide cult icon, partly thanks to Quentin Tarantino, who heavily based his Kill Bill films on the 1973 revenge classic Lady Snowblood. While her previous albums often featured a few key theme songs from her films, Otoko Onna Kokoro No Aika is a classy offering of Showa kayōkyoku (pop) and enka, the "Japanese blues." Kaji approached the record with an actress's sensibility, treating each cover as a dramatic role. The tracklist is anchored by two highlights: the funk-infused arrangement of "Ginza No Cho" (Ginza Butterfly) and Kaji's iconic rendition of "Tokyo Nagare Mono" (Tokyo Drifter). While the latter was famously the theme for Seijun Suzuki's 1966 cult yakuza film of the same name, Kaji's version brings a modern, 1970s feel to the melody. Throughout the record, traditional themes are infused with contemporary grooves, blending lush orchestrations with funky basslines to create a hypnotic, cinematic atmosphere that is uniquely her own. Reissued in its full glory for the first time and remastered by Teichiku in Tokyo, Otoko Onna Kokoro No Aika is a welcome new addition to the Wewantsounds Meiko Kaji reissue campaign, which is sure to please all of her fans worldwide.

LP version. Hot on the heels of the Tokyo Bliss and Funk Tide sets, Tokyo-based DJ Notoya delivers Tokyo Pulse, a new juicy selection of funk and modern soul recorded in Tokyo in the '70s and '80s. Most tracks here are making their debut outside of Japan and the album, like its predecessors, has been designed by Manuel Sepulveda (Optigram) and is annotated by DJ Notoya. The audio has been newly mastered in Tokyo by Nippon Columbia Records and remastered for vinyl by Colorsound in Paris. Tokyo Pulse's lush funk selection open with the nocturnal groove of Naomi Chiaki's "Yoru E Isogu Hito," recorded in 1978. The track perfectly sets the mood with its laid-back tempo and late-night atmosphere. From there, Yumi Murata's "Ranhansha" (1979) brings a funkier touch, before the mellower funk of L-E-V-E-L's "Bagdad No Atari Nite" signals the stylistic shift toward the early 1980s. Side one closes with GAM's "Lake In The Forest," an elegant reggae-inflected piece from 1980, played by several musicians from the cult Arakawa Band. Side two opens with a leap into the late 1980s via Nami Shimada's "Mitsumeteirunoni," a superb mid-tempo electro-funk track. This is followed by the earthy folk-soul of Bread & Butter's "Memory," originally released in 1974 on Blow Up Records, and featuring a who's who of Japanese music, including Haruomi Hosono, Ray Ohara, Tatsuo Hayashi, and Shigeru Suzuki. Keyboardist Minoru Koyama's instrumental "After Image" adds a cinematic, fusion-leaning dimension, while Chikara Ueda & The Power Station's "Island Cuckoo," released in 1979 on Denon, injects a cool dose of Brazilian-tinged funk energy. The compilation closes with Higurashi's superb funk-folk track "Anata Wa Doko Ni Irundesuka," a reflective 1974 recording that brings the journey to a quietly emotional conclusion. Taken as a whole, Tokyo Pulse offers a vivid snapshot of Tokyo's evolving groove landscape, embracing a wide diversity of sounds that move fluidly between funk, modern soul, folk, reggae, electro, and jazz-inflected pop. Carefully curated by DJ Notoya, the album captures the subtle shifts in style, production, and mood that defined nearly fifteen years of Japanese music and stands as a new addition to Wewantsounds' ongoing series exploring Japan's rich musical heritage, reaffirming Tokyo's place as a city with a uniquely refined and forward-thinking musical pulse.

Arbitrary presents Terrain Vague II -- the second album by Danish electro-acoustic trio Mesmer. With this work, the trio creates a sensuous and reflective space to inhabit in a time marked by speed, noise, and digital fragmentation. Terrain Vague II emerges from field recordings made in Læsø, Frederikshavn, and Aalborg in Denmark. Using environmental sounds from harbors, coastlines, and the outskirts of the city, Mesmer explores the places where nature and culture intersect. These field recordings are not atmospheric background, but rather the architectural foundation of the work -- carriers of social, historical, and sensory traces. Through improvisation, compositional structures, and an electro- acoustic setup featuring synthesizers, trumpet, percussion, and modular systems, these traces are transformed into personal and collective sonic journeys. The title refers to the concept of terrain vague: indeterminate transitional zones with open potential. For Mesmer, it becomes an image of a society in motion. Rather than offering definitive answers, the trio creates an open listening space in which the boundaries between the composed and the improvised, the controlled and the free, dissolve. Listening is activated here as a conscious act -- an opportunity to reconnect with place, presence, and community. In relation to their debut work Terrain Vague (ARBITRARY 019CD, 2024), Mesmer has developed their practice in a more consistently site-specific and spatial direction. While the first work established the trio's shared language between field recording and electro-acoustic composition, Terrain Vague II allows the specific geographies to structure the music. Improvisation comes clearly to the fore, contrasts are sharpened, and the tension between the individual and the collective is pronounced. With this work, the format is also expanded -- realized as an album, a concert-series, and an installation. Mesmer -- Emil Jensen, Victor Dybbroe, and Anders Filipsen -- have worked closely together for more than 15 years across music, film, radio, and installation. With Terrain Vague II, Mesmer refines and deepens their artistic position. They offer a space for slowness and attentiveness within a complex present -- and insist on sound's capacity to open new ways of being in the world.

ATA Records release their latest recording of The Lewis Express' Doo Ha! Featuring flautist Chip Wickham and recorded live to 2-inch analog tape at All Things Analogue Studios, Leeds, UK, this album is a living, breathing tribute to the golden age of soul-jazz -- the electric alchemy of smoky clubs, Sunday afternoons at the record store, and the spiritual communion of groove and grit. Drawing inspiration from luminaries like Ramsey Lewis, Les McCann, and Galt MacDermot, ATA sought to channel the unmistakable energy of soul -- the kind of jazz that hits your feet and hips first. The core of the group is the rhythm section -- ATA luminaries Sam Hobbs on drums and label owner Neil Innes on bass, augmented by Sam Bell on congas and John Ellis on piano and Wurlitzer. It would be invidious to pick out any one of these, when the group sound is so unified, so well-educated in every aspect, and so tight (in the best possible way -- through an elastic, dynamic thread of sheer groove). Chip Wickham's flutes (in the usual concert pitch and the lower, huskier alto model) add the melodic phrasing and tone shapes listeners love to hear, from whispers to wails, coming mighty close at times to the soul tones of the beloved vocals that defined the era. The album features seven shades of soul-jazz, from the downhome strut of "Walk On," through the New Orleans, prayer-meeting influenced "Run Tell That" and the cooler, more detached soundtrack hipness of "Cold Catch," to the joyous "Sliced, Diced and Fried Twice" -- a reminder that music shares so much language and emotion with food, and the term soul applies to both. "The Saint And The Stranger" is yet another take on the more cinematic soul sound, with nods to the policier soundtracks of Cinevox, whilst "Snick Snack" gratifies our appetite for yet more hot, greasy blues. Finally, "How Long Before You're Gone" rounds out the album with a groove that wouldn't be out of place on a Nina Simone playlist, a reminder that there has always been more to soul-jazz than late nights and fried chicken. Doo Ha! is a reminder that music has always been about feel, not files. A testament to ATA's belief that sound -- real sound -- should be lived in, worn-in, and passed down like a well-loved record from one hand to the next.

Laurence Pike's Possible Utopias for Jazz Quintet represents a search for freedom, potentiality -- liberatory strategies that transcend the ego and the solitary, atomized figure. But in this case, the album title is also a red herring, because there is no jazz quintet here -- just Pike, his drums, and his machines, not so much an ersatz ensemble as a purely notional one, a thought experiment equipped with drumsticks, circuitry, and the desire to go beyond hardwired limits. And the results incorporate the vocabulary of jazz, along with that of ambient, electronica, and post-rock. The Sydney-based musician has a long history of coloring outside the lines, not just in his solo recordings -- including four albums for the Leaf label between 2018 and 2024 -- but also in the trio Pivot (later PVT); Szun Waves (alongside saxophonist Jack Wyllie and Border Community's Luke Abbott); Triosk, which recorded an album with Jan Jelinek in 2003 (FAITBACK 005LP); and even post-punk titans Liars, whom he joined in late 2018. Of his first album for Balmat, Pike says, "My loose concept was: What does music sound like when the expectations of late capitalism are removed from it? How might a jazz musician from an idealized culture of the future, or even another world, utilize musical language when the conventions of style and marketing are no longer a factor in music making?" That inquiry, he says, connects to his "guiding principle: that the purpose of music is to access something bigger than the individual, and reveal a sense of possibility and freedom in the world to the listener. To create an understanding that the future can be something other than what we imagined or expect, even unconsciously." Heady ideas, but plug into his stream-of-metaconsciousness flow and you may start to intuit what motivates him. There is a deeply lyrical expression in these pieces, but also a sense of exploded perspective, of ideas approached from more angles than any one mind could dream up. Of a collectivized consciousness, of mycelial networks branching across tone and rhythm and timbre, of ideas articulated in distributed fashion, nodal points dancing across drum heads. Pike's imaginary quintet is hardly without precedent; it's a continuation of concepts floated across Jan Jelinek's Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records (FAITBACK 001LP), Burnt Friedman's many guises, and much of the recombinant improv of the International Anthem roster, not to mention the far corners of ECM's catalog in the late 1970s and 1980s.

Bureau B presents the reissue of Nothing, the 2001 album by Ata Tak's Frank Fenstermacher and Kurt Dahlke (Pyrolator) aka A Certain Frank, newly remastered and available on vinyl for the first time. Marking its 25th anniversary, the record stands as a quietly distinctive chapter in Düsseldorf's post-Kraut electronic lineage -- understated, atmospheric, and strikingly timeless.
"A Certain Frank emerged in the mid-1990s from Düsseldorf's uniquely fertile musical environment. Kurt Dahlke (Pyrolator) and Frank Fenstermacher were already central figures in the city's post-war pop modernism: pioneers of the so-called Neue Deutsche Welle, members of Der Plan and Fehlfarben, and co-founders of the influential Ata Tak label. Since its founding in 1980, Ata Tak had championed an alternative German aesthetic that combined conceptual thinking with pop sensibility, releasing early work by artists such as DAF, Andreas Dorau, S.Y.P.H., Holger Hiller, and later Oval. Against this backdrop, A Certain Frank proposed a different trajectory -- not oppositional, but deliberately understated. Rather than pursuing dancefloor functionality or revivalist gestures, Dahlke and Fenstermacher turned toward reduction, atmosphere, and subtle reconstruction. Drawing on easy listening and the once so-called 'exotica,' they treated these references as malleable material, reshaping them into something restrained yet contemporary. Nothing completed an informal trilogy shaped by denial and refinement. Conceived from the outset as a fully collaborative work, the album moved beyond sample-based construction toward a largely self-generated sound. Basslines, drum grooves, and synthesizer textures were played live, joined by the voices of Mai Lingani, Karin Knipphals, and Fenstermacher himself -- integrated as tonal elements within a fluid sonic fabric rather than traditional lead vocals. Dutch bassist Pascal Plantinga and Austrian drummer Mike Daliot contributed significantly to the record's light-footed, groove-oriented energy. Originally released at the threshold of the new millennium, Nothing occupies a distinct space between jazz-inflected electronica, cinematic ambience, digital dub, and understated traces of drum and bass and lounge. Neither functional club music nor retro exercise, it embodies a quietly confident strain of Düsseldorf modernism -- reflective, precise, and resistant to spectacle. With this anniversary edition, Bureau B once again highlights a strand of German electronic music that exists between eras and categories. Carefully remastered and now pressed on vinyl for the first time, Nothing returns not as a relic, but as a work whose understated clarity continues to resonate -- a testament to Bureau B's ongoing dedication to preserving and recontextualizing Germany's experimental pop heritage." --Hannes Stutz, 2026

Black Editions presents the expanded and definitive edition of White Heaven's brilliant third album Next to Nothing. Originally released in 1994 by Tokyo's Noon Disk, the full album was only ever available in a limited vinyl pressing of 250 copies. Since then, it has become one of the most sought-after artifacts of the '90s Japanese underground and is regarded as a highpoint of Japanese psychedelic rock. Led by vocalist, songwriter and conceptualist You Ishihara, the album finds the group in a phase of refinement. Taking a more intricate and open approach, the music is buoyant and light yet at the same time, nocturnal and introspective. Next to Nothing marks the first time guitarists Michio Kurihara and Soichiro Nakamura appear together on record after having separate turns as lead guitar on the group's first two albums. The pairing is revelatory as they weave luminous melodic lines, sometimes in parallel, sometimes opening into sustained intricate counterpoint. Bassist Koji Shimura and drummer Ken Ishihara shuffle and swing in parallel with a fluid, sinuous rhythm, while flourishes of synthesizer, mellotron and the introduction of Go Hirano on keyboards and piano deepens the group's sound with orchestral colors and a soft cinematic haze. Across the album, clear, shimmering guitar tones and gentle chord progressions are layered with bright arpeggiated figures and darker minor-key passages. The songs develop through gradual changes in tone and dynamics as Ishihara's voice reveals a gentle yearning and wistfulness. An extended version of Burt Bacharach and Hal David's "The Look of Love" serves as the album's entrancing focal point; stretching the song's familiar lounge-pop swagger, the group renders it as a slow-burning, psychedelic meditation crackling with electricity as it drifts into the night. Available for the first time on vinyl in over 30 years. Remastered and expanded with three previously unreleased song versions on a second LP cut at 45RPM. Presented in a heavy tip-on gatefold with metallic and ink pigment foil stamping, spot colors as well as a gatefold insert. House in a custom vellum wrap with a mirror metallic sticker seal. Pressed at RTI Recorded at Inter Music Studio, Tokyo 1994. Remastered at Peace Music 2021, Produced by You Ishihara.

"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."

"Toronto's Mad Iris has been playing live in the local underground scene since 2023, blending noise rock, punk, and shoegaze into a sound that honors influences like Sonic Youth, Pixies, and the Breeders. Their self-titled debut album covers desire, obsession, longing, and grief, taking place in basements, night buses, and gas stations, with gum stuck to desks and drinks spilled on sticky floors. Throughout the record, distorted vocals crash and ascend in unison with thrashing drums, plump basslines, and staticky guitar overdrive, lurching between restraint and eruption. A Mad Iris song teeters on disaster, shifting from gritty feedback to intentional sloppy haze, like the sound of a tape machine overheating. Strong, sparkling production is complemented by a wall of noisy visuals: videos that emulate a worn VHS tape, scrapbook show flyers, and alleyway photoshoots. 'Our visuals are an integral part of the band's style,' says bassist Ela Hinatsu, who shares lead vocals with guitarist Kaiya Rosie, often on the same song. With a deliberate sound, style, and presence, Mad Iris goes beyond being a band, becoming more of an art project. Opening track, 'Silver Nails,' sets hushed, breathy vocals floating over a screechy guitar line, played by Patrick Muldoon, before collapsing into distorted, whiny grit and greedy screams, ending the track with a guitar solo from producer/mixer Ximuna Diego, who, with his own musical expertise, is the secret to Mad Iris' signature distorted sound. The album oscillates between sweet and bitter, pretty and dirty, lust and shame. 'Poor Baby' is soaked in self-pity and pointed blame, building from scratchy dual vocals and warm analogue tones into a fever pitch, led by drummer Josh Pryce. 'Goldfish' opens with buzzing guitar riffs and addictive drums, as bittersweet vocals cut through muddy noise. The song strips the intensity and cattiness of other tracks, framing loss in a bright, chaotic context, with vocals weaving between jangly hooks. On record, Mad Iris is raw, unpolished, and intimidatingly cool. Off-stage, they're grounded and self-aware. As Pryce puts it, 'We're just four friends hanging out and making music together. There's lots of playful love in it.' That chemistry drives their energetic debut."

Weirdos, or so they said. A long-term psychological state. Music -- not merely in the underground -- has suffered from the disease, perhaps giving birth to illustrious actors, from Syd Barrett to Daniel Johnston, all the way thru Wild Man Fischer (produced by Frank Zappa!). Kit Ream was more than an outsider, he just released one single album in 1978, a private press which gathered enthusiastic comments from the psych folk aficionados. Hopefully labeled as a compelling mix of soft jazz and new-age hippy philosophy, this ultra-rare opus is finally back in print for the all outpatients out there!

Corbett vs. Dempsey presents the release of Raw Dog, a compact disc featuring solos for contrabass saxophone by Jon Irabagon. One of the leading lights of contemporary creative saxophone music, Jon Irabagon (b. 1978) hails from Chicago, made his name in New York, and has returned to the Windy City with decisive ferocity, joining the city's bustling scene as an active participant and bandleader. Known for many of his groups, including Mostly Other People Do The Killing and PlainsPeak, as well as membership in ensembles led by Mary Halvorson, Dave Douglas, and Barry Altschul, Irabagon is a ceaselessly inventive horn player and dazzling technician with a devilish sense of humor. To experience Irabagon in the purest setting, CvsD invited him to present a concert of unaccompanied solos on his bottom-end horn, which sounded positively elephantine in the gallery's reverberant walls. Furthermore, an invitation to consider two composers, Julius Hemphill and Anthony Braxton, led Irabagon to search the vaults for lesser-known charts by these iconic figures, two compositions each. The results were mind-blowing and ear-juddering, offering new perspectives on Hemphill's deep blues feel and Braxton's erector set structures. Deftly recorded in all their bodacious ambiance, these contrabass meditations are both homages to the music's history and icebreakers into its oceanic future. Recorded by Rob Frye at Corbett vs. Dempsey, Chicago, on September 20, 2025. Mixed and mastered by Alex Inglizian at Experimental Sound Studio. Design by Michael Dyer/Remake. Cover art by Aaron Curry. CD produced by John Corbett and Jim Dempsey.

"What lies beyond The Black Door? An essence of otherness in the form of Cole Berliner, breezing out a vibrant acoustic sequence of bucolic instrumentals, chasing an old-world sense of beauty, projecting equally into the ear of listener and non-listener! Listen, having lived life as an atheist-spiritualist and progressive pop composer/performer, Cole desired to find his own kind of devotional music, devoting himself to the cause that became this album. But it took more than that in the end. The Black Door required playing in aspects of traditional genre formats like 'country,' 'blues,' 'finger-style,' 'gospel,' 'soundtrack,' 'ambient,' and Cole is adept at them all, mixing and matching modes and vibes. Adding to that a cosmic spray of full circle/circus leap consciousness, The Black Door flew open! Initially conceived as solo acoustic guitar tunes, in the studio the songs demanded the dynamics of an acoustic ensemble (a departure from his work with Kamikaze Palm Tree and Sharpie Smile). This was key. The arrangements form intricate passages for acoustic, electric and lap steel guitars, acoustic/ electric bass, piano, drums, percussion, violin, viola, horns, woodwinds and synthesizers. Playing with Cole are violinist Laena Myers, along with Garret Lang, Dylan Hadley, Sofia Arreguin, Robert Earl Thomas, Michael Sachs, Sarah Safaie, Kilan Thorns, and Cesar Hernandez PLUS Cesar Maria, who mixed and co-produced with Cole. The music of The Black Door is honest modern folk -- west coast folk! -- with a rad amount of odd psyche laced within. A presence in the production ecosystem of ominous (but friendly) ghost theater, elegant framing for a perfectly civilized, surreal mystery and exquisite, acoustic folk-chamber puzzle. And lo! Cole Berliner's solo debut is rich-grained instrumental parlor music, organically growing on in the speakers and ears beyond, an album after Drag City's own hearts in the challenger tradition of Bert Jansch's Avocet, Marc Ribot's Saints and Jim O'Rourke's Bad Timing. As Cole brings a succession of new moods and qualities to the true spirit of the thing, The Black Door opens up an album-length sequence of musical transformation."

"This is an extremely rare recording when the band was a five-piece with two guitar players. Live at Spotsylvania captures Pentagram performing an all-night backyard concert in Spotsylvania, Virginia, at bassist Martin Sweeney's mother's house, in front of roughly 500 fans camping out for the weekend. Recorded around 1978 during the band's short High Voltage era, the show began at 1 a.m. on a foggy night and featured rare songs with a raw, powerful performance. The audio blends a low-level board mix with ambient mic recording for surprisingly strong sound quality. A memorable moment came when a firecracker went off perfectly on the beat during the heavy second half of '20 Buck Spin,' echoing through the trees."

Take Me, I'm Yours is the first collaboration album between Alan Abrahams and Jan Jelinek. Released through the latter's faitiche, it builds upon multi-layered vocal sketches by the former. The Paris-based artist, primarily known for his work as Portable and Bodycode, supplied Jelinek with multi-layered song sketches that the German artist subjected to a rigorous process of manipulation, excavating the ambiguities of the original material and transforming its rhythms into subtle pulses. Take Me, I'm Yours is neither a typical Abrahams record nor a classic Jelinek album -- it is something third, mediating between the physicality of the voice and the abstraction of electronic sound design. The two had crossed paths before really getting to know each other after Abrahams invited Jelinek to play at one of his Süd Electronic parties. The idea of a collaboration emerged slowly. "It started as an experiment, and over the past few years grew from a few tracks into this album," says Abrahams. He describes recording the basic material as a "tantalizing" process, not knowing how Jelinek would transform his material, some of which was based on wordless chanting, while other tracks were working with lyrical content. However, their mutual trust allowed Jelinek to remove the harmonies, radically reduce the rhythms, and concentrate on Abrahams' voice. Jelinek heard something "fragile" in this voice, "moments of doubt and dark premonitions." He points to "Forever" as an example. "Alan's original song reminded me of classic vocal house, but his voice seemed to almost break," he says. "This contradiction made the piece even bigger, because we hear a singer in the moment of an awakening." He further accentuated such tensions through arrhythmic synth modulations and time-stretching algorithms, while also adding concrete sounds from a variety of sources. With its dedication to both transforming and amplifying the emotional qualities hidden within Abrahams' pieces, Take Me, I'm Yours functions as a dialogue between those two singular artists.

Gold disc CD housed in a digi-pack. Music springs eternal. Recognizing the enduring power of timeless albums to guide the world through life, Forever Records is a reissue series dedicated to rediscovering lost musical treasures from across the spectrum of head-feeding, heart-rending electronic music. Established by Rush Hour co-founder Christiaan Macdonald and Delsin founder Marsel van der Wielen, Forever Records places heartfelt faith in a carefully curated sequence of seminal, largely forgotten records from disparate eras, scenes and spaces within electronic music history. Tipped towards the mellow and introspective, these are albums that stop time when the needle hits the groove, stirring only when it's time to flip over before you sink back into the experience. That's what albums were always meant to be about, back then, right now, always and forever. Dancing on the wildest edge of the '90s outsider techno zeitgeist while proudly independent of any so-called scene, Ov Biospheres And Sacred Grooves: A Document Ov New Edge Folk Classics is both of its time and out of time. Rooted in the experiments of electronic music pioneers, industrial culture and ethnic music from around the globe while responding to the house and techno explosion, Robbert Heynen, Reinier Brekelmans, Reinoud van den Broek, and Tim Freeman's freewheeling masterpiece takes in lush electronica and murky abstraction on its singular voyage through parts unknown. Forever Records presents an extensive reissue edition of the first "fully released" Psychick Warriors Ov Gaia album. Originally released in 1992, this is the first time the full, previously CD-only, version of Ov Biospheres and Sacred Grooves is pressed on vinyl. The original LP and CD artwork from the various editions released in the early '90s has been combined and designed by the band, and the audio has been remastered with their full approval. Also available as limited edition housed in a gatefold sleeve that comes with a bonus 10" featuring two previously unreleased tracks (FRVR 001LTD-LP).

A closing chapter for Iro Aka: ambient introspection and precise IDM meet in a deeply personal, memory-driven LP. Barcelona-based duo Iro Aka present Memories Exploration, a record that marks the closing of a creative chapter. The LP unfolds as a personal archive -- tracing ideas, influences, and emotional states shaped over time. The A-side moves through ambient-leaning territories, building meditative landscapes where time seems to dissolve and blur. Through tracks like "Frozen Sun" and "Golden Sea," the duo showcase a refined approach to sound design, shaped by carefully distilled emotion. Meanwhile, "Gendo" and "Intervertert" lean further inward -- sketching moments of deep introspection through soft textures and a minimalist sensitivity that invites contemplation. On the B-side, the record shifts. Rhythmic structures come into focus, drawing from IDM and broken beat patterns with a precise, understated touch. "L," "Ozadene," and "Phased9" introduce movement while maintaining the album's introspective core. Closing track "We Felt in Love with a Loop" brings the album to a gentle, open-ended close. The artwork by Jack Anderson reflects this sense of fragmented memory and process, complementing the album's emotional tone. Rather than a definitive ending, Memories Exploration feels like a transition -- an understated way of closing one chapter before the next begins.

The album shifts between sparse minimalism and wide, cinematic arrangements, revealing one of the group's most accomplished and emotionally charged recordings.

With Folklore, 16 Horsepower delve deeper into their dark, spiritual reinterpretation of American and Eastern European traditional music. The album blends original material with transformative covers, reshaping folk roots into stark, ritualistic and emotionally charged soundscapes. Banjo, cello, hurdy-gurdy and bandoneon create an archaic sonic world elevated by David Eugene Edwards' haunting vocals. The Oxblood Vinyl Edition presents this landmark recording in a striking new format. Folklore remains one of their most defining works - brooding, hypnotic and deeply evocative, dissolving the boundaries between myth, tradition and modern alternative music.

With Hoarse, 16 Horsepower capture the full force of their live presence. Recorded in Denver and Paris, the album presents material from Low Estate and Sackcloth 'n' Ashes in versions that feel sharper, heavier and more focused than their studio counterparts. The accordion-driven opening of "American Wheeze" sets the tone for a performance that moves with controlled ferocity and haunting precision. Covers such as "Bad Moon Risin," "Fire Spirit," and Joy Division's "Day of the Lords" are transformed into dark, mesmerizing ritual pieces.

"For over 30 years, Simon Joyner has been an anomaly -- a wholly independent artist focused solely on his craft. The Omaha-based singer-songwriter began releasing music in the early '90s and has walked an unbroken line ever since. Joyner's songs of quiet joy and heartache have impacted different generations of fellow artists, showing up as overt influence in acts like Bright Eyes or Kevin Morby, and as flickers of shared perspectives in the Lenkers, Oldhams, and Molinas that followed. Tough Love, Joyner's 19th studio album, continues this upward trend. While intrinsically linked to the personal grief of 2024's Coyote Butterfly, the autobiographical album Joyner made in the wake of his son's death, this new album explores the concept of tough love as a dichotomy applied to various fictional relationships including romantic, familial, and political. This balancing act comes through in vivid portrayals of everyday heartache and in the exploration of political rage and the betrayals of the American Dream. One of the marvels of Joyner's catalog is how his patterns don't repeat but transform. Knowing nods to Cohen, Dylan, and the Velvets have been part of his songwriting since the early lo-fi days, but the ways these touchstones get infused keep changing. While Joyner's ragged acoustic songs are in the spotlight, they're prodded by electric guitars and imbued with experimental tendencies. Rock songs split the difference between minimal grooves learned from Loaded-era Velvet Underground and the ecstatic rhythmic weirdness of Can. All of this leads to the 20-minute title track which closes Tough Love, an eviscerating plunge into a seemingly bottomless pit of regret, survivor's guilt, and unvarnished grief. Borrowing a repetitious structure from Lou Reed's narrated suite, Street Hassle, and combined with the full-side testimonial of Dylan's 'Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands,' Joyner narrates from the perspective of his departed son speaking to his father and laying out his every failure and brutally highlighting how none of it can be undone. Soon, though, this agony opens up into something transcendent, in both its elegant imagery and ethereal atmospherics. The final moments of the album grant permission for self-forgiveness and hopefully someday, understanding."

"The drones on this album were created using a Yamaha SY77 FM synthesizer from 1989. I have a special relationship with this machine -- it was the first 'big' synth I ever bought, and it has contributed to almost everything I've recorded over the past 30 years . . . The SY77 features six FM operators with multi-stage looping envelopes. I've always enjoyed crafting steady drones with it -- sounds that slowly evolve into something new over time. The output of the SY77 is routed through a Dynacord DRP 20 reverb and recorded into a DAW. For each piece, I recorded four tracks: one with a very low note, one with a medium-low note, one with a high note, and one where I played freely, following my intuition. The results were then edited and lightly processed to reduce excessive noise in certain sections. I also occasionally added reverb and pitch shifting, using my own custom algorithms. Signal to Noise - Volume II picks up where my 2004 album Signal to Noise left off, revisiting the same techniques and instrument twenty-two years later." --Robert Henke Cover photo taken by Robert Henke on February 1, 2004, at Joshua Tree National Park, CA, USA.

After All Hands Bury The Cliffs At Sea (IMPREC 503LP, 2023) and Black Clouds Above The Bows (IMPREC 507CD, 2022), Amsterdam-based collective Wanderwelle presents the final entry of their album trilogy for Important Records. Conceived as a sonic reflection on the climate crisis and its devastating impact on coastal ecosystems, Ghosts Beneath The Brine addresses the mass deaths of fish, seabirds, crustaceans and countless other creatures that call these seas home, now rapidly being overfished, warming and acidifying. Where antique cavalry trumpets played a central role on Black Clouds Above The Bows and a dying church organ shaped All Hands Bury The Cliffs At Sea, cymbals form the core of Ghosts Beneath The Brine. The instruments were submerged in seawater for extended periods of time and played with a bow at various stages of corrosion. As the bronze alloy gradually reacted with the saltwater, their sound transformed, becoming darker, more fragile and unstable. Over time, the metal began to sing in ghostly overtones, as if haunted by the waters that shaped it. Much like large groups of fish shimmering beneath the surface, the cymbals slowly lost their shine, both sonically and physically, as salt and time took hold. Alongside its environmental narrative, the album draws from maritime mythology. Echoes of the sea bishop, the kraken, devil whales and sea serpents emerge throughout its soundscape. Once feared and revered, these creatures now exist only in the liminal space between folklore and memory, haunting the collective imagination like omens from a forgotten age. Through immersive textures and submerged harmonies, Wanderwelle intertwines myth and mourning, inviting listeners to drift between the real and the spectral. If humanity continues on its current course, familiar species such as sharks, oysters and even gulls may soon share the same fate as their legendary predecessors, becoming ghosts beneath the brine. Cymbals (submerged, corroded, played with bow and mallet), cello, voice, bowed guitar, Osmose synthesizer, modular synthesizer, field recordings.

"Genre Is Death is an uncompromising noise duo made up of Ty V (guitar, vox) and Tayler Lee (bass, vox). Their sound is abrasive yet melodic, using heavy distortion, dissonant riffs, and reverberating vocals to create a wave of boldly hypnotic noise. The duo have been compared to the likes of Sonic Youth and Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, yet have managed to create a sound that is distinctly their own, avoiding mimicking the zeitgeist of decades before. Beyond the integrity of their music, Tayler's intimidating glare, or Ty's staggering gait, the duo share something truly inimitable -- the overwhelming feeling that their music is a byproduct of the high esteem they hold of each other. The duo moved to NYC in August of 2023 looking for something more than their mundane suburban lifestyle of day drinking and playing doom metal in friends' basements -- their move to NYC coupled with their desire to express something, anything, led to the inception of Genre is Death. The pair hit the ground running, playing anywhere and everywhere they could -- however, it was only after a chance encounter with '80s noise forerunners Live Skull that the pair was introduced to the strange underbelly of NYC noise and began playing regular gigs with The Art Gray Noizz Quintet and Lydia Lunch. In 2025 the pair played New Colossus Festival, toured with Gogol Bordello, embarked on their first East Coast tour, and played gigs with Cherubs, Bush Tetras, and Jon Spencer. This record was recorded with legendary sound engineer Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Swans)."

"LA Punks Memo PST return with another modern punk classic Eternal Actors. These 12 tracks capture the fury of late '70s rough and raw punk rock, with Orville Neeley crafting hit after hit of god-tier punk bangers. Vocalist Chris Shaw is also at his most versatile to date, with his lyrical capabilities and patented punk sneers dripping across every song. Simply put, Eternal Actors finds two lords of the punk genre at their very best. There are classic punk bashers like 'Dog Groomer Stylist,' and 'Doomed to Repeat' but also primitive, bare-bones rock rippers like 'Chrome Bubble' and 'Worship Me.' The band also delivers some of their most hardcore songs to date with 'Concrete Club' and 'Blown Away.' With the San Clemente wrecking crew of Jackson Todd (drums) and Emmanuel Koulouris (bass) back again to round out the four piece band, this is truly a powerhouse presentation of punk music. If the band proved they were a punk force with their long sold out, self-titled album, Eternal Actors may solidify their place at the top of the punk pile. Recorded in late 2025 by longtime collaborator Mike Kriebel at Tropico Beauty Supply in Los Angeles, Eternal Actors is Memo PST's second album for In The Red."

"Primitive Ring consists of Bert Hoover (bass/vocals), Charles Moothart (guitar/vocals), and Jon Modaff (drums). The Los Angeles power trio formed in September 2024 when Hoover and Moothart came together seeking a new creative outlet. In 2025, the band released four 7"s on four different labels (Greenway, In the Red, Reverberation Appreciation Society, and Fuzz Club UK). They hauled amps and drums into bars to hone the sound of the newfound brotherhood that is Primitive Ring. Rock and roll is in its essence a primal experience, and the name reflects that. Three individuals collide and egos rattle, shedding layers and growing new limbs. Archetypes flash to the rhythm of a freight train and the crown is passed hand to hand like a good luck charm, symbolic and communal. Rock and roll is for the people and Primitive Ring is for the taking. Primitive Ring is 11 tracks coming in just under 42 minutes. It was recorded by Mark Rains in December of 2025 at The Station House in Echo Park. The album is the genesis story of a lightning bolt flashing in the eternal drama of creation and destruction. The album showcases the distinct writing styles of each member, but the overall aesthetic is a woven tapestry demarcating the timeless meridian. The record is the spawning of a collective vision. This is something we all share, and we must remind one another how electric humanity can be."

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

Emerging from Montevideo's fast-evolving underground scene, Davus built his career by fusing irony, emotional honesty, and street-level storytelling with a sound rooted in trap and its subgenres -- plug, Detroit, and sexy drill. From early independent releases to major collaborations with leading figures of the Latin American urban movement, his work has consistently pushed beyond trends while remaining deeply connected to the pulse of his generation. This vinyl brings together key moments from across his catalog -- songs that trace his evolution from underground innovator to a defining voice of contemporary South American urban music. More than a collection, it stands as a cultural snapshot of a generation that found its sound, its language, and its attitude through Davus's ever-evolving artistry -- while simultaneously opening the door to a new chapter shaped by bold collaborations and cross-border creative exchange.

Their self-titled debut album revisits eleven of their favorite songs from the past four decades, each reimagined and renewed in the timeless space of gleaming analog electronica. The DoubleSpeak album is divided between songs from the postpunk netherworld brought blinking into the light (Fad Gadget, The Sound, Young Marble Giants), pop radio monsters ushered back down a dark stairway into the club (ABBA, David Essex, The Carpenters) and buried treasures from the 1990s onwards (The Magnetic Fields, Ed Dowie, Laptop). Collectively, the album amounts to a shadow autobiography of the three collaborators' continuing musical education. DoubleSpeak is the great human songbook, synthesized. Empathic vocals, bold arrangements and glowing analog electronics turn familiar and forgotten songs into a personal, forward-looking electronic statement. Also features songs by Thomas Leer/Robert Rental and John Hartford.

"Extinction Burst is the new invocation in album-form by Guttersnipe, Leeds' premier and pre-eminent Xenofeminist crisis-energy rock) duo. Slamming at full speed to multi-dimensional oblivion, Extinction Burst is the most-full, hi-definition lurid dream-mare yet spewed out by Uroceras Gigas and Tipula Confusa. Engineered and mixed by Ross Halden at Hohm Studio in Bradford and mastered by Rashad Becker, Extinction Burst follows 2018's My Mother The Vent, which garnered universal critical adoration. Nevertheless, this long-awaited follow up is more extreme: it is wildness beyond reason, splitting new tears in the reality gauze, ultimate hallucination through sound ecstasy. 2026's Guttersnipe are evolved, mutated by eight years of touring together and with the labyrinthine network of groups both Guttersnipe members are involved with Tristwch Y Fenywod, Nape Neck, Petronn Sphene, and Yexxen, to name a few. On Extinction Burst, as with previous material, the duo are heavily augmented with technology. Tipula Confusa's drum kit triggers chasm-causing synth pulses with thumping low-end attack. Strafing from all over the stereo field the constant shatter of the cymbals and toms feel like Sunny Murray or Rashied Ali in full flight during a John Coltrane session in 1967. Uroceras Gigas's guitar and synth storm is by-now similarly an instantly recognized tool kit in underground music. Switching from screeching guitar atonality to intricate riffs from the black metal/Voivod hinterland to ultra-distorted synth meltdown, it's an utterly overwhelming, essential and vital pouring-out of the full emotional spectrum. Both artists vocalize, ecstatic and primal, drawn out or yelped in pain or pleasure or panic. There is nothing on this cursed earth like Guttersnipe. For over 10 years they have whirled in a wiggliness both woebegone and wonderstruck on a mission of radical mutant exaltation using rock music weaponry loaded with a queer hysterical ammunition to rupture the fabric of the known rock universe and unleash a tendril-soft hallucinatory violence; thrumming with the bracing vividness of insect bodies, crazed with alien synesthetic emotions, harnessing jagged excoriating illogic as a face meltingly snazzy affront to redundant macho mediocrity with the hope to break minds, squeeze hearts, explode pelvises and maybe even reset the parameters of reality."

"Chins For Lefty is the debut album and first recording by Gichard, a new duo chronicling the absurdities of end-stage capitalism and moldering social rituals from their vantage point in Glasgow, Scotland. Recorded primarily in the band's home studio straight to tape, Chins For Lefty combines gorgeous, ramshackle melody, DIY kosmische punk, drum machine and synth and, in vocalist/lyricist Lisa Jones, an absurdist commentator on the human condition as it navigates the anxieties of the modern world. Instrumentalist Chas Lalli's swirling music accompaniment stitches an evocative mix of musical styles, the ragged wind beneath the lyrics' wings. Although the duo first collaborated in their previous group Dragged Up, their disparate musical and artistic backgrounds make for an alluring mix in Gichard. Lalli has spent the last 20 years in the Glasgow underground, most notably in the noise rock group VOM, while Lisa Jones's practice was in poetry and spoken word. Beginning as co vocalist in her previous band, in Gichard her lyrics are center stage; the vision concocted alongside Lalli amounts to a total world-build. Chins For Lefty scans almost like a novel, with each track elucidating a skewed universe that bears only some resemblance to the one you partake in. Like all works of fiction Gichard's songs are rooted in reality and the lived experiences of its authors, but here characters are exaggerated, social mores and habits are pulled apart to reveal their inherent alienness. Universal emotions are laid bare, the bright light of anxious examination searching out every hairline fracture in relationships. Distorted and cracked, the mirror that Gichard hold up to the world is also pretty damn funny."

Musique Pour La Danse presents The Unreleased Themes From Hellraiser (Expanded Ritual) by Coil. Back in 1987, Clive Barker's supernatural body-horror classic Hellraiser hit cinemas worldwide and introduced audiences to the demonic Cenobites. Barker was a devoted Coil fan (Peter Christopherson and John Balance), and he famously said they were the only band he'd ever heard on record whose music he'd had to take off because, in his words, "they made his bowels churn." He initially invited them to compose the film's music, and the group began recording cues. But the producers at New World Pictures ultimately rejected the material in favor of a more traditional approach, bringing in Christopher Young, whose final score remains excellent, if less experimental. What remains from Coil is an unfinished soundtrack with surviving fragments and rough ideas, abruptly left behind mid-process, a glimpse into an alternate Hellraiser movie. Nearly 40 years later, key long-term collaborators and Coil's "secret third member" Danny Hyde located the original Hellraiser studio session tapes, and the bonus material recovered from them is presented here as an "Expanded Ritual" edition, reassembled into a standalone, possibly definitive and strangely beautiful nightmare suite. Play it in the dark and experience the consequences of raising hell. Notes by Danny Hyde. Original artwork by Trevor Brown. For fans of pain and pleasure, Throbbing Gristle, lost horror soundtracks and haunted electronics.

Alva Noto's Wave Weave - Sono Obi is the original soundtrack by Alva Noto, composed for a film by Carsten Nicolai. The project emerged from a collaboration with an 12th-generation kimono textile manufacturer in Kyoto, Japan. At its core, the work explores the translation of sound into textile form: sonograms of musical compositions serve as the basis for woven structures, connecting acoustic frequency patterns with traditional weaving techniques. Alongside the original soundtrack, the release includes an alternative soundtrack version and a photographic documentation featuring sonograms, soundtrack visualizations, and film stills. LP is featured on picture disc vinyl. Includes premium gatefold sleeve with die-cut window and special finishing. Also includes an insert booklet (multiple panels/pages) presented in a cover sleeve with a satin ribbon detail.

"Evolution can be ugly and beautiful, painful and euphoric. An Undying Love For A Burning World is the first new release from Neurosis in a decade, and a potent statement of intent and rebirth -- one that marks the first new steps of resolve and resilience. An Undying Love For A Burning World is an epic album of colossal hypnotism -- beautiful, fearsome and utterly compelling in a way that only Neurosis can be. Aaron Turner (Sumac, Isis) joins the band on vocals and guitar, a name whose legacy is intertwined with the band's own and a true kindred spirit. Neurosis have never been afraid of change, and here they embrace endless regeneration, surrendering to the emotional exorcism through heaviness and distortion that their music incites. Just as the universe tends towards balance, Neurosis' cacophony of noise, rhythm and dissonance always resolves towards moments of beauty. The addition of Turner's powerful vocals and wildly creative and unhinged approach to guitar proves to be a vital force as Neurosis find themselves again at the mercy of evolution and expression. The album was recorded by Scott Evans (Kowloon Walled City, Sumac, and Great Falls) at Studio Litho in Seattle during three weekends, and mixed in three days just six weeks before release at Evan's Antisleep Audio in Oakland."

"Lukas Ligeti's (b. 1965) Notebook is several things: an album and an ensemble, but also a creative practice and an ongoing series of pieces, all situated in the liminal space 'somewhere between composition and improvisation.' As a creative practice, Notebook is Ligeti's evolving methodology for creating conditions in which structure and spontaneity blur and overlap, manifesting his musical voice while also giving players a great deal of expressive agency, as musicians who are willing and able to 'think aloud.' The members of Notebook -- the band -- are all musicians who thrive in the spaces in between, that is, who are fluent enough to move seamlessly between notated complexity and focused improvisation, and, as the occasions call for, to draw on and morph between several idioms, often within the span of a single piece. All four pieces on Notebook (the album) emerged from a multi-faceted process that, as the case may be, might begin with a handwritten score, which might include a combination of precisely notated pitches and rhythms, melodies without rhythms, rhythms without melodies, descriptions of processes, delineations of parameters, cues, things to do, and things not to do. But it might instead begin with verbal instructions, and/or a sonic object to be responded to. Over time Ligeti might mix-and-match these methods of transmission, or reshape the material altogether, the aim always being to best situate players to make conscious musical decisions while still realizing an extremely clear artistic vision. The result is music that feels both rigorously shaped and disarmingly spontaneous. The music of Notebook fully inhabits the composition/improvisation continuum: While some moments are clearly composed and others clearly improvised, there are many gradations -- 'an infinite amount of right' -- in between."

"The interesting thing about Robert Morris's (b. 1943) remarkable career as a composer (and a theorist) is how free he is to move from composing works of great rigor with intricate integrity in his use of pitch-class design, to works of sonic beauty to be performed in a natural outdoor environment, to imaginative electronic/computer music, to the music of acculturation. Among the latter, his monumental Carnatic String Quartet is an outstanding example. In his own words, 'Carnatic String Quartet (2020) is my fifth string quartet. As the title might imply, there is a connection between this work and Carnatic classical music of south India. While I do not try to imitate the styles and performance practices of Indian music in the quartet, the piece is based on the 72 fundamental 7-note 'melakarta' musical scales as set forth by Venkatamakhin in his treatise Chaturdandi Prakaasikaa as amended by Govindhacharya in the mid-17th-century. These scales include all western scales and modes and are well known to every musician in south India. My quartet presents these Indian scales over its three movements in an order that preserves the greatest number of common tones from scale to scale in the sequence. Therefore, the quartet is a series of 72 sections divided into three movements of 23, 25, and 24 sections each. The rhythmic language in the quartet has some connection to various rhythmic patterns in Indian music such as systematic permutation and repetition, especially in groups of five or seven units. Other rhythmic devices involve composed-out sensa misura passages and parlando styles.'"

Church Andrews and Matt Davies return with Tilt, a pinpoint collection of skewed microtonal and discordant compositions for percussion and digital synth. Tones ascend but don't resolve, rhythms loop, collapse and reassemble, patterns wriggle with geometric precision, sounds tilt, the edges fray. Kinetic, elastic, wonky without being obtuse, Church Andrews (aka Kirk Barley) and Matt Davies new LP Tilt is the culmination of six years of creative collaboration, refining and redrawing the relationship between Davies' virtuoso percussive practice and Barley's off-kilter synthesis. Where their 2024 release, Yucca, took rhythmic cues from the Fibonacci sequence, Tilt explores a more intuitive approach, returning the duo to a minimal sound interrogating the interplay of chance and control, system and body, freedom and mechanization. Featuring prepared guitar, finely resonant muted percussion and a crisp palette of digital synths, it draws on the pair's long-standing interest in alternate time signatures. Here, a tripped-up 11/8 beat gives "Yokai" a disorientating quality, threading unusual paths through the playful, mysterious 5-note Hirajoshi scale -- a pentatonic scale from Japan hinted at in the track's playful reference to a supernatural spirit in the country's folklore. Using a simple on-off system between drum and synth to trigger a Shepard tone -- an auditory illusion of a sound that ascends or descends in pitch without actually changing -- "Shepherd" revels in the stripped-back simplicity of its sonic palette, where the nuance lies in what Barley calls "subtleties in the timbre of the sounds" as they dialogue with Davies' warped loops. It's these finely tuned melodic drum tones and an eerily abstracted prepared guitar that give "Debris" its uncanny feel, yet never feeling overly controlled. Like the album's meticulous, graphic artwork, Tilt seeks the shifting ground between the physical and the digital, as acoustic tones are tweaked and disambiguated into new and unexpected forms. Tilt represents Church Andrews and Matt Davies' ongoing collaboration in its purest form -- a hyper-defined evocation of gravitational potential in their live sound.

"Born in the ashes of WWII, the only girl of seven children, they called her Pinky. She grew up in the windy plains of the Texas panhandle, singing in the church choir and dreaming of being on the stage one day. Just 18, she met the love of her life and soon married rodeo cowboy Cole Tex. Sharing a common thirst for adventure, they traveled the country roads together. He wrote the songs and Pinky sang them, performing in small roadhouses and honky-tonks all over the southwestern states. These are some of the few recordings that still exist."

Toronto-based multi-instrumentalist Max Klebanoff, best known as the drummer for critically lauded death metal outfit Tomb Mold, has slowly expanded the purview of his Death Kneel project. From a spate of hermetic short-form tapes to the uniformly excellent Dawn Simulation on bellwether noise label Chondritic Sound, the project has blossomed into a distinct force within the landscape of contemporary experimental music. Remembering Well might be best understood as a summation of process -- an accumulation of gestures, false starts, and breakthroughs brought into provisional alignment. It articulates a careful balance between immediacy and refinement, tracing the contours of a practice in motion while resolving into a fully realized statement. First takes and impromptu recordings form its backbone, each piece guided by a commitment to capturing a singular animating impulse. Rather than smoothing over discontinuities, Klebanoff leans into them, allowing a dense field of incidents to accrue in which minor sonic events assume equal weight alongside more apparent structural shifts. Central to this approach is an expanded conception of fidelity. Sound is treated not as a neutral vessel but as a variable condition -- elastic, restless, and materially expressive. Phone recordings are diffused through empty parking lots; damaged handheld devices imprint unique distortions onto signals; binaural microphones register the incidental rhythms and spatial responses of rooms. These methods do not simply document the music -- they participate in its formation, producing a layered audiographic surface in which perspective and texture remain in constant negotiation. Despite this fundamental instability, a charged emotional atmosphere emerges: a kind of uneasy intimacy, at once intrusive and disarmingly human. It's a violent sort of pathos that, to my ear, finds its most apt comparison in the harrowing sonics of Jason Crumer's 2008 masterwork Ottoman Black. This is music that maintains a proximity to the abyss, yet is tempered by a softness that draws the listener closer to something fascinating, volatile, and alive.

"Back in 1987, Clive Barker's supernatural body-horror classic Hellraiser hit cinemas worldwide and introduced audiences to the demonic Cenobites. Barker was a devoted Coil fan (Peter Christopherson and John Balance), and he famously said they were the only band he'd ever heard on record whose music he'd had to take off because, in his words, 'they made his bowels churn.' He initially invited them to compose the film's music, and the group began recording cues. But the producers at New World Pictures ultimately rejected the material in favor of a more traditional approach, bringing in Christopher Young, whose final score remains excellent, if less experimental. What remains from Coil is an unfinished soundtrack with surviving fragments and rough ideas, abruptly left behind mid-process, a glimpse into an alternate Hellraiser movie, one listeners can only fantasize into existence. Nearly 40 years after the first Soleilmoon cassette edition was released, key long-term collaborator and Coil's 'secret third member' Danny Hyde located the original Hellraiser studio session tapes, and the bonus material recovered from them is presented here as an 'expanded ritual' edition, reassembled into a standalone, possibly definitive and strangely beautiful nightmare suite. Play it in the dark and experience the consequences of raising hell. Notes by Danny Hyde. Original artwork by Trevor Brown."

"Philip Glass, the great American composer, was already in his mid-30s before his first album appeared, and then only because he produced the double LP himself. Music With Changing Parts was the inaugural release on his own Chatham Square imprint in 1971. At this point, Einstein on the Beach, Glass' first opera, was still five years away. Yet in Changing Parts, one can already hear much of his vocabulary in full bloom: the buoyant arpeggios, the melding of electronic and acoustic instruments, the elongated drones of human voice, the primary emphasis on pulse (an interest he shared with fellow composer Steve Reich) and the ecstatic potential inherent in repetition. The album features the original Philip Glass Ensemble -- the composer himself, along with Jon Gibson, Dickie Landry, Art Murphy, Steve Chambers, and Robert Prado -- playing Farfisa organs and woodwinds as well as Barbara Benary on electric violin. As Glass describes in his memoir Words Without Music, he secured a $500 interest-free loan for the recordings' initial release from the Hebrew Free Loan Society -- an organization intended to help immigrants from the Old World upon arrival in the US. Though Glass was merely the grandson of immigrants, the venture wasn't far off the society's charter as Changing Parts helped usher in a new world of sound that would become known as minimalism. Chatham Square went on to release albums by other composers in Glass' circle, including Gibson and Landry. The label was named after the Manhattan intersection where Landry had a studio and the ensemble rehearsed. Born in Baltimore in 1937, Glass first moved to New York to attend Juilliard at just nineteen, having already graduated from the University of Chicago. A staple of the Downtown scene, he can perhaps be appreciated as akin to the likes of sculptor Richard Serra or filmmaker Jim Jarmusch: mavericks who became major cultural figures entirely on their own terms. This first-time vinyl reissue reproduces the original side-breaks and gatefold sleeve."

Like its mouthful of a title, Polygondwanaland delivers a 10-course meal without dividers between its dishes. Songs seep into one another for an immersive listen. The stirring, quiet percussion of "Inner Cell" tiptoes into "Loyalty" for a slow buildup, before it splashes into the punctuated vocals of "Horology," a sea of guitar tapping and rich, warm woodwinds. As usual, transitions are key in King Gizzard's work, but they add a smoothness to Polygondwanaland that makes it particularly digestible, so that every vocal sigh and gaudy synth acts as a complementary flavor.

Though vaguely considered along the lines of noise, space rock, dream pop and psychedelic, The Telescopes have consistently expanded boundaries, coloring outside the lines with possibility. This house has many rooms, embraced across genres, influential to many, all embracing, in an orbit of its own. Static Charge is The Telescopes' 19th studio album since the group's inception in 1988 -- and their seventh release on Tapete Records. After a three-month tour of the UK and Europe, the all-embracing sounds of The Telescopes return with a lean blitz of seditionary hits. Take a jolt of Static Charge and step beyond the realm of natural vision. Stone age beats, outsider sounds, low end disturbance unite in resistance to the new weirdness of existence. The Telescopes experience is known for having an ever-revolving line up that can vary between one and twenty people. On this album, The Telescopes are a four-piece consisting of The Telescopes founder and protagonist Stephen Lawrie on guitar and vocals, Darrell Carter on guitar, Robert Prest on bass with John Lynch on drums and percussion. Interesting facts: John can also be found playing with The Jonny Halifax Invocation. Darrell releases great music under the name of Fromme and Robert's father used to fly Fela Kuti around in a private jet. The album was written, recorded and produced within a two-month period from November 2025 to January 2026 at Stephen Lawrie's Butterfly House studio in Shropshire. The whole album was recorded mostly live with the only overdubs being vocal harmonies. There are seven songs in total.

"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.

In the early 1970s, Roy Ayers formed his own band: Roy Ayers Ubiquity. Its lineup included artists well known to funk and soul fans such as Bernard Purdie, James Mason, and Edwin Birdsong. This 1973 album presents Roy Ayers in the midst of a creative evolution toward a sound increasingly influenced by soul and funk, moving beyond the early phase of his musical career, which was more rooted in orthodox jazz. On Red Black & Green, he teams up with highly accomplished collaborators such as keyboardist Harry Whitaker, arranger and producer William S. Fischer, and Strata-East musicians Charles Tolliver and Sonny Fortune. Here, however, the latter two do not venture into the spiritual jazz sounds so characteristic of their own recordings; instead, together they embrace a sophisticated funk groove where Ayers showcases his extraordinary vibraphone talent. The album includes outstanding versions of "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Day Dreaming," as well as original compositions such as "Cocoa Butter," "Rhythms of Your Mind," and the superb title track, "Red Black & Green." After years out of print, Vampisoul are pleased to present this much-needed vinyl reissue of an essential album in Roy Ayers' career. Pressed on 180g vinyl.

Marcos Valle is one of those artists you simply can't overlook if you have even a passing interest in Brazilian music. Whether your taste leans toward bossa jazz, samba, psychedelic folk, or modern soul, Valle has surely recorded a great album for you. By the late 1960s he had already released enough outstanding records to secure a place among the greatest Brazilian artists of all time, but fortunately his career didn't stop there. He has continued recording fabulous albums over the following decades, right up to the present day. This second album by Marcos Valle (1965) is one of the foundational works of bossa nova. In fact, the record includes one of the most widely heard and covered Brazilian songs in history: "Samba de Verão." In addition to his work as a composer -- alongside his brother Paulo Sergio -- Marcos Valle also begins to reveal himself here as a great singer, with a soft, almost fragile voice, while his acoustic guitar recreates the same intimacy of the nighttime atmosphere in which he composed most of the songs. The arrangements were co-written with Eumir Deodato, with the participation of other renowned Brazilian musicians, and they surround Valle's compositions with elegant string orchestrations, bossa rhythms, and jazzy touches of swing. Highlights include the sophisticated beauty of songs like "Preciso Aprender a Ser Só," the rhythmic 3/4 feel of tracks such as "Seu Encanto," and the powerful "Deus Brasileiro." First vinyl reissue in over 50 years! Pressed on 180g vinyl.

The remarkable, yet not widely known, 1999 remix compilation is now available as a limited edition 45rpm cut double LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve.

Paperback. 490 pages. "The most comprehensive compilation of the sound artist's working documents for her unrealized media-opera tour de force. Written in the early 1980s by American sound art pioneer Maryanne Amacher (1938-2009), Intelligent Life follows the employees of Supreme Connections LLC, a music entertainment corporation navigating a future in which artificial intelligence generates music faster than composers can. Anticipating an industry-wide downturn, Supreme Connections president Aplisa Kandel seeks advanced technologies that will revolutionize the act of listening, narrating to the audience as she does so. Though the untimely deaths of the opera's would-be patrons prevented Amacher from realizing the work in its intended forms -- a serialized radio broadcast and television simulcast -- she continued designing 'treatments' for the opera for much of her career. This publication makes the most complete presentation of these working documents -- including episodic scripts, notes on the use of LaserDisc and an illustrated storyboard for the pilot -- available to the public for the first time, and evinces Amacher's prescient ideas about perception, listening and composition."

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).

Born in 1965 into one of Bamako's most prominent griot lineages, Mah Damba carries the weight and the privilege of the djeliya -- the art of the griot -- in everything she does. Her father, the late Djeli Baba Sissoko, was chief of the griots of the Bamako region, a man who spent decades broadcasting the epics of the Mandingue empire on national radio, accompanied by his n'goni. Her aunt, Fanta Damba, is among Mali's most celebrated djelimousso. This is the ground Mah Damba stands on. It has never shifted. Taabolo Koura arrives after a career that has moved between ceremony and stage with equal conviction. Since settling in France in 1983 with her late husband, the virtuoso n'goni player Mamaye Kouyat, Mah Damba has maintained her role as griotte to the Malian community in exile. This new record deepens the musical partnership with guitarist and arranger Thierry Fournel, who has worked alongside the Damba family for twenty years. Together they have built something intimate and unhurried -- an acoustic architecture of guitar, djeli n'goni, accordion, calebasse, and guembri that serves the voice rather than decorating it. Mah Damba's instrument -- deep, warm, and now carrying the grain of six decades -- remains the center of gravity on every track.

The legendary Harald Grosskopf continues his long-standing relationship with Hamburg's Bureau B with Glitches Brew, a vital new LP and the latest stage in his ongoing dialogue with electronic possibility. The titular nod to Miles Davis' masterpiece Bitches Brew reflects Grosskopf's sense of humor, while also hinting at the album's underlying theme: the productive friction between man and machine.
"For the uninitiated, Grosskopf's career spans six decades of German music history. From early beat groups in Hildesheim, through Krautrock propulsion with Wallenstein, cosmic explorations alongside Ashra, and defining work with Klaus Schulze, he has consistently pushed rhythm into evolving technological contexts. His 1980 solo debut Synthesist, previously reissued on Bureau B, helped establish a sequencer-driven language that bridged kosmische tradition and modern electronic form. Created over three to four months in his garden studio, Glitches Brew is shaped by speed and responsiveness. Grosskopf worked primarily with digital instruments this time, travelling light and favoring fast access from feeling to recording. Ideas arrive spontaneously; he works until satisfied, often reshaping sounds the next day if they fail to spark with the same intensity. What emerges is a vivid, present-tense record where human instinct and electronic process remain in constant, audible conversation. Stems are recorded in mono or stereo, passed through a Studer desk and printed to two-track, restoring weight and tactility to digital sources. Where VST synthesis can lack transient bite, analogue circuitry restores what he calls the sensation of leather, wood and metal. The signal path is humanized without surrendering to nostalgia. Glitches Brew balances analogue intuition and digital immediacy, kosmische heritage and contemporary electronic language. It is the work of an artist still following his own ideas, still excited by sound, still testing the edges. Sixty years on from his first beat-group rehearsals, Harald Grosskopf remains what he has always been: a musician for whom rhythm is liberation, technology is possibility, and the future is something to invent again and again." -- Patrick Ryder, 2026

"Jah Woosh was one of Jamaica's most distinctive early reggae deejays, emerging in the 1970s as the art of toasting became a defining part of reggae music. Born Neville Beckford in Kingston, he first gained recognition as a sound system deejay before breaking through with the powerful single 'Angela Davis.' During the mid-1970s, he recorded extensively for producers including Rupie Edwards, Clive Chin, Keith Hudson, and Channel One, releasing a string of influential singles and albums. His debut LP Jah Woosh reached number one in the reggae album charts and established him as a leading voice of the era.

"Phil Pratt (George Phillips Pratt) was an influential figure in the Jamaican music industry, recognized for his work as a producer, singer, and songwriter. Beginning his career in the 1960s as a vocalist, he soon transitioned into production, becoming an important contributor to Jamaica's golden era of reggae throughout the 1960s and 1970s. As a producer, Pratt worked with leading artists including Al Campbell, Dennis Brown, Horace Andy, and Ken Boothe, creating recordings that became foundational to the reggae genre. His production credits include notable releases such as The War Is On, as well as key tracks like Dennis Brown's 'Money in My Pocket' and Horace Andy's 'You Are My Angel.' Pratt's production legacy -- defined by his ear for melody, rhythm, and artist collaboration -- continues to hold significant influence in reggae history. Phil Pratt has since passed away, but his work remains widely respected and celebrated. Originally released by Burning Sounds in 1978, Star Wars Dub highlights Pratt's distinctive production style. This new edition faithfully reissues the album, featuring an insert with sleeve notes and pressing on limited edition 180gram Purple Transparent vinyl."

"Dry Ice's story begins in 1965, emerging from the explosive heart of London's underground scene -- from Joe Meek's Holloway Road studio to the chaos of the Marquee and the psychedelic happenings of Middle Earth. They shared stages with Arthur Brown, Joe Cocker, and The Who, impressed future Atlantic Records CEO Phil Carson, and even featured Ian McDonald of King Crimson on flute. A 1969 single received BBC Radio 1 support from Annie Nightingale -- yet the full album, recorded at legendary IBC Studios, remained unreleased for nearly five decades. Unreleased until its first official release in 2018, these recordings capture a vivid moment when mod culture collided with psychedelia -- a genuine lost chapter of British late-'60s rock, finally rescued from the vaults. Now re-issued due to popular demand on limited edition 180-gram clear vinyl."

"Originally released in 1968 on the budget Saga label, The Soul of The Matter has become a genuine cult favorite of the British late-sixties soul-pop underground. Long overlooked and pressed in modest quantities, the album quietly built a reputation among collectors as one of those rare low-budget releases where the artistry far outweighed the resources behind it. Fronted by the charismatic Herbie Hunte, whose warm and expressive vocals drive the record throughout, the Royalists blend blue-eyed soul, post-beat pop, light psychedelia and baroque flourishes into a sound both sincere and distinctive. From the infectious opener 'Baby I Love You' to the ambitious 'Royal Suite' and the atmospheric instrumental standout 'Lost Voyage,' the album showcases a band making inspired music with heart, energy and imagination. Despite its humble origins, The Soul of The Matter stands today as a rediscovered gem -- passed between collectors and crate-diggers for decades. Now lovingly reissued by Morgan Blue Town, this edition finally gives the album the attention and presentation it deserves. An essential addition for fans of British '60s soul, mod-era pop, and cult underground classics."

Kronstad 23 return with Dødehavet, the Norwegian quartet's third album and first release on Batov Records. Continuing their instinctive, analogue-led approach, the record sits between cinematic jazz and psychedelic rock, threaded with Scandinavian folk and wider global influences. Recorded live to tape with minimal preparation and no modern studio intervention, Dødehavet captures a band working on feel, interaction and momentum rather than polish or precision. Despite living at opposite ends of Norway, old friends Øyvind Arnodd Vie Berg (keys), Alexander Tøsdal Tveit (guitar, sitar), Eirik Rømcke (bass) and Hans Christian Dalgaard (drums, percussion) conceived the album almost casually, sketching the idea of a reunion over a drink before committing quickly to writing and recording. Sessions took place at Berg's home studio in Bergen, with the quartet working fast, relying on intuition and shared musical language rather than extensive rehearsal or postproduction. On Dødehavet, Kronstad 23 lean more decisively towards groove and collective propulsion, expanding their palette without sacrificing the immediacy that defines their sound. While still largely recorded in single takes, the album is given added heat by contributions from saxophonists Håvar Skaugen and Inge Weatherhead Breistein. Recorded with all four core musicians playing together in the same room, Dødehavet avoids sterile production in favor of a raw, direct sound. Most pieces were captured in one or two takes using a 50-year-old mixing console and tape recorder, deliberately resisting contemporary studio techniques to preserve a timeless, lived-in character. Influences surface organically rather than through rigid composition. Kronstad 23 operate with a deliberately low-pressure dynamic. The quartet meets only a handful of times each year and rarely rehearses in a conventional sense, instead trusting shared instincts and keeping structures loose. The project's name nods to Afrobeat-era band naming conventions, with "23" marking the year the project came into focus and Kronstad referencing the Bergen neighborhood where the group's first sessions took place. While Afrobeat is only one strand in their sound, the name reflects openness rather than fixed identity. At its core, Dødehavet is about process rather than statement -- music shaped by listening, restraint and collective momentum. Jazz, soul, folk, Afrobeat, rock and raga merge into a single, unforced language, captured in real time and left largely untouched. FFO: Gábor Szabó, Amancio D'Silva, Mulatu Astatke, Soft Machine, Surprise Chef, Menahan Street Band, Ikebe Shakedown, El Michels Affair, The Sorcerers, Sababa 5, Ill Considered, Tommy Guerrero, Glass Beams.

"The adventure of this truly unique band began in 1986 when Dominique Cravic met Robert Crumb, the underground comic book artist best known in France for his drawings published in the libertarian monthly Actuel ten years earlier. Les Primitifs du Futur, with their slightly offbeat music and a name that seems to have been borrowed from a story by Jorge Luis Borges, burst onto the music scene almost by force. The band has long been a variable-geometry orchestra, with Dominique Cravic always at the controls. While the musette of their early days quickly gave way to joyful forays into blues and gypsy jazz, their music has continued to evolve, successively incorporating touches of typical and tropical aesthetics such as biguine, echoes of ballroom dances such as the waltz, and influences from 1930s Maghreb folk music. Les Primitifs play with styles, and disregard temporal barriers. This approach continues with their new album, Les Crimes du Musette, a title that refers to the mixture of reserve and condescension that many still express towards this famous genre which is not considered as noble as bebop, free jazz, rockabilly, chanson or even rock. The repertoire in this jubilant work draws upon new sources. One track evokes Chet Baker, another is a salute to Henri Salvador, not forgetting a tribute to the piano bars of grand hotels and a piece in the form of an African postcard. Of particular note are two delightful adaptations, in French no less: 'Smoke Gets In Your Eyes,' which brings to mind Django Reinhardt, and Paul Desmond's 'Take Five,' inspired by Richard Anthony's French version, as well as two songs with lyrics written by the new member of the Académie des Beaux-Arts, Emmanuel Guibert and Pascal Bussy."

CD in matt digipak, with all artwork remaining true to Z'EV's original concepts. Early hallucinatory ritual percussion works from the much-missed rhythmajik master Z'EV. This legendary album by Industrial pioneer Z'EV was originally released in 1986 (LP, Dossier), now finally available with the state-of-the-art remastering it deserves. Also included is the bonus 20-minute track "Titan Night," recorded at Berlin Atonal in December 1983, now available here for the first time on any format since the original 1984 split LP with Psychic TV (who performed their iconic set at the same event). Z'EV performed on all-steel, custom-made percussion instruments, designed to activate the acoustics of the space.
"Each track finds Z'EV creating moody and atmospheric percussion based compositions. If you're familiar with Z'EV's work you'd say these tracks are a bit more primal, stripped back, and unmanipulated. Each track takes in a set pattern of percussive elements, which he investigates over the track's length, and these move from forceful battering onto more moody drifts, and in between the two... a worthy work from this most respected and unequalled artist." --Musique Machine

For the better part of a decade, Cairo-based producer Mostafa Onsy has been the architect of the cerebral. His work, defined by intricate, wired sound design and alien dub, demanded a specific, deep-head focus from its dedicated listeners. Baba Fen is something else entirely: a sharp turn from the complicated toward the direct and immediate. Call it pop-adjacent, if you squint -- but only because density has been traded for a different kind of clarity. Rooted in the minimal logic of trap, the record relies on heavy 808s, sparse arrangements, auto-tuned vocals, and a groove that hits without clutter. It nods to the lineage of Southside and Chasethemoney, yet reroutes that minimalism through a restless, cross-border sensibility. Remotely assembled between Cairo and Haifa with artists Fara7, Bleng, and Illfeel, the project was shaped by a loose, almost accidental workflow -- vocals recorded and returned within hours, fueled by basic tools, slow internet, and whatever energy was available in the moment. This first-take urgency becomes the defining character. From here, Baba Fen moves without a fixed map. While anchored in trap, the sound frequently drifts into Egyptian '90s pop, Mahraganat, and crystalline, chiptune-like melodies, refusing to settle into any one single mode of expression. Mastered by Rashad Becker, the final result maintains a striking balance between its spontaneous origins and a formidable sonic weight. It captures a producer venturing beyond established boundaries, trading complexity for contact and proving that a stripped-back approach can often hit the hardest.

To mark its 20th birthday, Lisbon-born label Enchufada is releasing A Lisbon Club Story -- 20 hand-picked tracks bridging bass, trap, grime and rave with baile funk, kuduro, batida, Afro-house and more dance-oriented styles. A mix of 12 archive selections and eight fresh cuts, the LP unites some of the boldest champions of Afro-diasporic and global bass music today, from household names in Portugal such as Buraka Som Sistema -- back with their first track in 12 years, DJ Marfox and Shaka Lion to new-gen dynamos like Vanyfox and international stars like Dengue Dengue Dengue and Mina. Twenty years ago, Enchufada was launched as a vehicle for the debut EP from Lisbon's then-emerging Buraka Som Sistema. Only 500 CD copies of From Buraka To The World were pressed at the time, each sleeve handmade using recycled paper sourced from various factories around Lisbon -- giving them a unique DIY look pieced together from adverts for baby oil and paint. The CDs flew off the shelves in a week, marking the start of a journey that would take in era-defining records like the M.I.A- assisted Sound of Kuduro and African Scream, and much more. Also features Bison & Squareffekt , Tusabe, Joss Dee, Shaka Lion, Vanyfox, Traz Agua, BLOQO, Branko, Pedro da Linha, Petty, Roulet, Djeff, DJ N.K., Dotorado Pro, Branko, Alex Rita & Bison, Nané, Pedro da Linha, and Deekapz.

This 7" single is the first release in a fictitious series of avant-garde music packaged in those cheap generic covers of hit singles from the 1950s and 1960s. The series opens with Nikolaus Gerszewski's 7-minute orchestral piece Beethoven Square, pragmatically split into parts I and II across the two sides of the record. The cover advertises the history of Edition Telemark, but is also an homage to the elegant product design of the period.

This double LP with 16-page booklet is the extensive documentation of the exhibition Godspeed in 4/4 Time at the church St. Matthäus in Berlin, where artist William Engelen installed an instrument consisting of 366 metal tubes that was on display from May to September 2025. The tubes were mounted next to each other surrounding the nave of the church. Each tube was unique and differed from the others in length, diameter, thickness and/or material (copper, brass, stainless steel, aluminum), and gave a different sound. The design of the instrument may be read as a graphic score that represented one calendar year. One possible way to play the score was to walk through the room and strike each tube. Visitors were allowed play the instrument themselves and realize the score in different ways. On a number of days, musicians were invited for concerts on the tubes combined with their own instruments. Among others, these concerts featured: percussionists Evi Filippou, Robyn Schulkowsky, and Marius Wankel playing the metal tubes; Zinc & Copper (Robin Hayward, Hilary Jeffery and Elena Kakaliagou) playing brass instruments together with Robyn Schulkowsky on the tubes; SPILL with Magda Mayas on piano, harpsichord and chest organ, and Tony Buck on the metal tubes. The double LP includes recordings of all these groups on sides A to C, followed by a solo improvisation on a single tube by William Engelen on side D. The performances were recorded and mixed by Adam Asnan and mastered by Giuseppe Ielasi. The LPs are housed in a gatefold sleeve and accompanied by a full-color 16-page booklet documenting the installation and concerts in beautiful photos, texts, and more.

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.

The inaugural release for Nairobi label From Cool Waters is a feverish amalgam of traditional Kenyan currents and moody, minimalist electronics. Emerging from the confluence of three special talents -- Nairobi-based Nyege Nyege collaborator and experimental drummer Sven Kacirek, esteemed 83-year-old folk artist Ogoya Nengo and dodo singer/songwriter and luthier Olith Ratego -- Palagoma channels an electroacoustic synergy unlike anything you've ever heard before. The artists have collaborated in various guises before; German-born Kacirek co-produced and recorded Nengo's 2014 captivating debut LP for Honest Jon's, Rang'ala, while Ratego and Kacirek formed the duo Odd Okoddo in 2018, performing at Uganda's influential Nyege Nyege Festival in 2019 and 2023 and at events all over the world.

"24-track singles compilation 2LP in limited blue vinyl. Sadly, main-man Colin Jerwood died from a heart attack in May 2025, shortly after the release of their first album in 20 years. Conflict are probably the world's foremost activist anarchist punk band. First heard on their mentors Crass's label, their To a Nation of Animal Lovers EP inspired anti-vivisection, anti-hunt campaigns. Espousing direct action and numerous political causes, on their own Mortarhate label they dominated the top of the UK singles and albums indie charts in the eighties. Gigs however, turned into full-scale riots, with hundreds arrested, leading to national outrage headlines. Police then banned them from performing in the UK, so they went underground and abroad. They went quieter in the nineties, but a resurgence of interest assisted by the 'straight-edge' punk movement reactivated them. They toured the USA regularly from the 80's onwards. Following Colin's death they continued to tour, in tribute to Colin's legacy. This release, all the singles have been collected on vinyl, includes all the lyrics to the singles in the gatefold sleeve."

"The Heartbreakers' D.T.K ('Down To Kill') is the incendiary live 1977 companion to L.A.M.F.. D.T.K was recorded live in London during the L.A.M.F. sessions on 15th March 1977 at the notorious musicians watering-hole 'The Speakeasy' and features Johnny infamously hurling abuse at the audience. Reissued as part of the 50th Anniversary of Punk celebrations -- this line-up of the Heartbreakers was formed in summer 1976 when Billy Rath replaced Richard Hell on bass, with their debut gig famously reviewed by Nancy Spungeon in New York Rocker. Originally first released in 1982 as a 10-track album it was remixed in 2005 and five more tracks were found on the multi-track tapes. Now the album has the entire two sets played that night, 15 unexpurgated tracks in all. Limited edition in YELLOW vinyl. The sleeve has notes by journalist Kris Needs and contemporary photos."

"Natural History is the definitive 1980s-era collection from Leeds goth pioneers The March Violets, presented here in a limited violet vinyl edition complete with the original-style 'Zillion $ Bill' insert and poster. Though often referred to as their debut album, the release is in fact a compilation of their early singles and key recordings, capturing the band at the height of their influence within the UK post-punk and gothic rock scene. Tracks such as 'Snake Dance,' 'Walk Into The Sun,' and 'Deep' highlight their signature dual-vocal attack, driving drum machine rhythms, and sharp, atmospheric guitar work--elements that helped define the emerging goth sound of the early 1980s. Formed in Leeds, The March Violets were closely associated with the same scene that produced The Sisters of Mercy, releasing material on their Merciful Release label and sharing a similar stark, rhythm-forward aesthetic. Across a string of six singles, the band became a fixture on the UK indie charts, with multiple Top 10 entries and a No. 1 hit with 'Walk Into The Sun.' Despite their success, they never recorded a conventional studio album during the decade, instead building their reputation through singles, live performances, and influential BBC sessions -- including three recorded for John Peel. Their later signing to a major label and appearance in the film Some Kind of Wonderful marked a brief push toward wider recognition before internal tensions led to their split. Natural History stands as the essential document of the band's original era, bringing together their most important recordings along with rare Peel session tracks that capture their raw, live energy. Reissued here on vinyl for the first time since its original run, the album offers both longtime fans and new listeners a comprehensive look at one of the foundational acts of gothic rock -- bridging post-punk minimalism with a darker, more stylized sonic identity that continues to resonate decades later."

"Animal Pleasure + Tall In The Saddle brings together the complete recorded output of London Cowboys in a remastered 2LP edition, pressed on red vinyl and expanded with previously unreleased material. Originally issued in 1982 and 1984 respectively, these albums capture the band's raw, swaggering blend of punk, glam, and streetwise rock 'n' roll -- delivered with a loose, dangerous energy that reflects their deep roots in both the London and New York underground scenes. Tracks like 'Animal Pleasure,' 'Catcher in the Rye,' and 'Blue Murder' showcase a band equally indebted to classic rock attitude and first-wave punk urgency, bridging styles with an unpolished, live-wire feel. London Cowboys emerged directly from the late-1970s punk explosion, evolving out of The Idols, a New York-based outfit formed by Steve Dior, Barry Jones, and former Heartbreakers drummer Jerry Nolan. The Idols famously backed Sid Vicious during his final performances at Max's Kansas City, placing the group at the center of punk's most mythologized moments. As the project transitioned into London Cowboys, the lineup became a revolving door of high-profile players from the era, including Glen Matlock, Terry Chimes, and Tony James, along with connections to members of the New York Dolls and other key figures of the transatlantic punk scene. Deeply embedded in the cultural fabric of early punk, guitarist Barry Jones was also a promoter at legendary venues like The Roxy and Max's Kansas City, while Steve Dior embodied the era's restless, scene-hopping spirit. Their recordings reflect this lineage -- less concerned with polish than with capturing a moment defined by attitude, collaboration, and constant reinvention. This expanded reissue not only restores both albums with improved sound but also adds rare and unreleased tracks, offering a fuller picture of a band that existed at the crossroads of punk history."

"Another mind-blasting slab from the band that emerged from the exquisitely raw chaos of Up-Tight. Guitarist Aoki Tomoyuki, who founded and led Up-Tight from 1992 to 2024, is one of the prime exponents of Japanese string-based underground insanity. His approach combines the psychedelic flow of White Heaven's You Ishihara with the scuzz-dynamism of High Rise's Munehiro Narita and the experimental distentions of Fushisusha-era Keiji Haino. Up-Tight's records were all sold blurts of N Generation Japanese freak logic, and that tradition has been continued by the Tomuki Trio. Their first two albums, Mars (on Riot Season) and its follow-up Shitsuren, were both boiling cauldrons of axe-smoke, with tunes that wandered through dizzying array of styles and moods, all of them underlaid with a splendid sense of utter disorientation. And that continues on album title. Even when the trio slows down into riffs that 'plod' in the tradition of the Stooges' 'We Will Fall,' they manage to infuse the air with shreds of sonic karma that refuse easy categorization. The way they balance the overload of their sound is definitely in the tradition of Japanese underground guitar noise of the past 35 years, but the Tomoyuki Trio seems bent on destroying the boundaries that have usually separated their precursors into distinct categories. They demand all access to all styles at all times. And the success of their attack on extant generic norms is abundantly clear throughout this album. It's an insane spin, and one I've been playing more or less non-stop for the past week without tiring of its inventions or becoming inured to the complexities of its sonic architecture. Album title is jam-packed with beautiful surprises for anyone who has the ears to hear it. Let us hope that cohort includes yourself." --Byron Coley, 2026

The rhythm-driven album carries the listener through eight distinct compositions that draw on the deep kinship between Mande griot music and the blues, rock, and Latin styles that share its roots. Gaoussou was born into a family of griots from Sobra-Sandaman in the Kati district. He is nick-named Sobra after the place in the mountains west of Bamako where Gaoussou still returns to find inspiration, speak with the elders, and reconnect with the source of his music. The exceptional artist started with percussion at five, assisting his father, Adama Kouyat aka Diango, who played guitar. By six Gaoussou started playing guitar as well. When Gaoussou turned nine, Diango gave his talented son his own guitar and sent him to study with Karfa Doumbia in the Mandinka village of Kignema, near Narena. He then trained with Djelimady Tounkara of the legendary Rail Band to complete his formation as a professional guitarist. At twenty-five, driven by his fascination with the Songho blues tradition of northern Mali, he went on his own initiative to Niafunk, where he spent a year with the family of the late Ali Farka Tour. When he returned from the north, he became guitarist for the late Kasse Mady Diabate, and for the late Toumani Diabate, performing and recording with both. Few guitarists alive can claim that breadth of schooling -- the courtly Mande tradition, the Rail Band's electric sophistication, and the desert blues of the Niger bend, all absorbed first-hand. This is an album of surprises that never feels restless. The compositions are mature yet playful. Gaoussou has been listening to music from all over the world and makes musical quotes and hints mixed with his own imagination and with great taste. Sobra Dance takes the listener on an amazing journey from the rivers to the desserts of Mali and crossing the ocean to the Americas, from South to North.

Galaxies (Warsaw version), electro-acoustic alone. Fully electro-acoustic version of "Anâhata/Galaxies" realized on the composer's personal computer from the original electro-acoustic recordings of this work. Jean-Claude Eloy: "In 1994 I had (for purely practical reasons) to remove these big electro-acoustic parts making up the two 'Galaxies' works from the piece they were connected with until then: Part III of my Anâhata cycle, entitled Nimîlana-Unmîlana ('that which awakens -- that which slumbers'). An electro-acoustic work integrating instrumental acoustic parts that required the performance of a Shô player from Japan. Those electro-acoustic parts were substantial enough to warrant a new configuration ensuring their stand-alone nature, independent of whether a performer was available or not. Therefore I used (apart from the two 'Galaxies') a set of particular sounds that I had generated during that production (all of them resulting from Shô sampled sound processing and modulations) entitled 'sons d'infinitude' ('sounds of indefiniteness'). These sustained sounds were very fixed, quite contemplative, almost motionless or maintained through short fluctuations that were more or less regular. They were five of them altogether. Four of them were grouped together into a consistent set and occurred after the first Galaxy, before the Shô solo. I had used them to compose a sequence called 'Awakening,' which formed the first Shô appearance in the version realized for the Donaueschingen Festival in 1990. The fifth one took place at the end of the second 'Galaxy' and was used to support the conclusion played on the Ô-Shô. In this purely electro-acoustic version the first four 'sons d'infinitude' came quite naturally as a 'bridge' between both Galaxies. The fifth sound kept its conclusive place, making it bigger and using it as a genuine 'extension sound' that could be infinite, with no limit!"

The Ring of the Seven Lights (Metametal, long version, 1994-95). Revision and new master (2013). Seven continuous variations from a single Bonshô sample (Buddhist temple traditional bell from Japan), a tribute to Inayat and Vilayat Khan. Jean-Claude Eloy: "I created and partially realized it in 1994-95 during this conversion of 'Anâhata' into an electro-acoustic version alone. I first made a short version out of it which integrated into 'Electro-Anâhata' and became the fourth station within the first part (around 'Âhata-Anâhata'). It was an entirely new part that had never been realized during the final mixing of the original Anâhata cycle."

The 1973 album from the iconic Brazilian band. A testimony to the Brazilian cultural freedom of the early '70s. A vibrant blend of samba, choro, psychedelic folk and soul. Includes a four-page insert. Formed in Bahia in the late '60s, Novos Baianos became one of the most iconic groups in Brazilian music. Mixing samba, rock, choro, psychedelia, capoeira rhythms, and communal living, they embodied a new countercultural movement that reshaped MPB. Their albums, especially Acabou Chorare and Novos Baianos F.C., are now considered pillars of modern Brazilian music, inspiring generations of artists in Brazil and worldwide. Originally released in 1973, Novos Baianos F.C. captures the band's communal lifestyle and fearless experimentation. After the success of Acabou Chorare, the group expanded their sound into a vibrant mix of samba, choro, folk, psychedelia, and electric street-soul. With the unmistakable chemistry of Baby Consuelo, Pepeu Gomes, Moraes Moreira, Paulinho Boca de Cantor, and Dadi, the album radiates warmth and spontaneity. Recorded in the Baianos' legendary "football club" house, it stands as a joyful snapshot of Brazilian cultural freedom in the early '70s.

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.

Following the internationally acclaimed and German Jazz Award-nominated success of their 2025 debut MYT, the Moses Yoofee Trio returns with Chasing Light -- a six-track EP capturing the unrestrained, instinctive spirit of their Neukölln rehearsal sessions. Pianist Moses Yoofee, bassist Roman Klobe and drummer Noah Fürbringer spent a full week recording freely, jamming ideas, and pushing each other out of their comfort zones, resulting in their most vibrant and exploratory release to date. Fresh from an extensive 2025 world tour across Asia, the US and Europe, the trio channels the adrenaline of the road into an EP where jazz and hip-hop-infused improvisation meets afrobeat-driven grooves, frenetic breakbeats and lush harmonic textures. From the siren-like synths of "Nothing to Lose" to the rhythmic intricacies of "Inner Circles," the layered richness of the title track and the hip-hop swagger of "Honest," Chasing Light invites listeners deep into the trio's uniquely intuitive musical universe.

"Step into Radio Bremen's legendary Sendesaal and experience an intimate, breathtaking solo performance by Chick Corea at the height of his artistic development. This newly restored double CD, recorded on October 29, 1972, captures an evening that was both musically daring and deeply personal. An evening when Corea's warmth, imagination, and virtuosity filled one of Europe's best acoustic halls. This concert from the archives of Radio Bremen documents a defining moment: Corea was 31 years old and moved fluidly between different musical worlds. Fresh from Piano Improvisations, shortly before Return to Forever, and in search of new creative partnerships with artists such as Gary Burton and Stan Getz. This performance condenses all that energy into two captivating sets. Throughout the program, Corea transforms the grand piano into a storyteller. He expands pieces like 'Noon Song' far beyond their studio versions, combining rhythmic fire with lyrical beauty and shifting effortlessly from romantic introspection to Latin-infused exuberance. He revisits early gems like 'Children's Song No. 1,' explores Wayne Shorter's 'Masqualero,' and even allows himself to be inspired by a free improvisation influenced by Jonathan Livingston Seagull. What makes this recording so extraordinary is not just the repertoire. Corea speaks to the audience, tells stories, and invites listeners into his creative world. As music journalist Arne Schumacher recalls in the liner notes: 'The beauty and warmth that unfolded from the piano and filled the room was overwhelming. I was spellbound.'"

"Originally released in 1968 on the budget Saga label, The Soul of The Matter has become a genuine cult favorite of the British late-sixties soul-pop underground. Long overlooked and pressed in modest quantities, the album quietly built a reputation among collectors as one of those rare low-budget releases where the artistry far outweighed the resources behind it. Fronted by the charismatic Herbie Hunte, whose warm and expressive vocals drive the record throughout, the Royalists blend blue-eyed soul, post-beat pop, light psychedelia and baroque flourishes into a sound both sincere and distinctive. From the infectious opener 'Baby I Love You' to the ambitious 'Royal Suite' and the atmospheric instrumental standout 'Lost Voyage,' the album showcases a band making inspired music with heart, energy and imagination. Despite its humble origins, The Soul of The Matter stands today as a rediscovered gem--passed between collectors and crate-diggers for decades. Now lovingly reissued by Morgan Blue Town, this edition finally gives the album the attention and presentation it deserves. An essential addition for fans of British '60s soul, mod-era pop, and cult underground classics."

Originally released in 1999 on the Duet imprint, Robert Hood's Sophisticcato stands as a concise but potent example of his late-'90s minimal techno philosophy. Built around four tracks, including the title cut, "The First Night" and two versions of "Cobra Seed", the record features his signature approach with stripped-back drum patterns and hypnotic loops that prioritize rhythm over unnecessary embellishment. Lean and functional, with subtle shifts, it represents Hood's belief that minimal elements, precisely arranged, can achieve maximum impact on the dance floor.

MUSAR introduces Koloah, the newest voice in the family. Making his label debut with You Can Get Me, the Kyiv-born, Berlin-based artist arrives fully formed: three original tracks that move between restless grooves and expansive, immersive sound design, accompanied by a brain-melting remix from rising French star Binary Digit. The release opens with "You Can Get Me" -- a UK-leaning groove anchored by a snaking acid line and fragmented vocal cuts that surface and dissolve, insistent and hypnotic, one of those tracks that lands fast and stays with you. "Get Me Close" follows, shifting the A-side into electro territory: harder edges, colder mechanics, but the atmosphere holds. Koloah keeps the tension tight and the space wide. The B-side reaches further. The braindance producer Binary Digit takes "You Can Get Me" apart and rebuilds it in his own image -- known for his deeply idiosyncratic approach to rhythm and texture, he turns the original into a real summer anthem, faster and focused, the same raw material carrying a completely different emotional weight The album closes with "Liminal Forest," a full IDM statement: intricate rhythmic programming, layered synthesis, and a sense of place that feels earned rather than constructed. Koloah signs off somewhere between the forest and the machine. Recorded in Koloah's Berlin studio, the tracks were built in different periods -- which is exactly why they breathe the way they do. Not a forced coherence, but a natural one.

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.

Cinna Peyghamy unveils new album fusing Persian tombak and modular synthesis. Five years in the making, Music For Tombak & Synth bridges heritage, technology, and personal identity. The project, initiated in 2019 during Peyghamy's master's thesis research on contact microphones, was conceived as a means to reconnect with his Persian roots while exploring experimental sound design. In the album, Peyghamy seamlessly blends the traditional Persian tombak with modular synthesis and digital signal processing, creating a distinctive musical landscape that bridges live improvisation and studio production. The album's genesis traces back to Peyghamy's exploration of improvised electronic music and his desire to craft a performance-ready setup. Over several years, the project evolved from capturing the energy of his live shows into a fully composed studio work. Music For Tombak & Synth stands as the first record where Peyghamy unites his dual identities as a live performer and producer, resulting in a body of work that reflects his deep connection to family, memory, and cultural heritage. The album features personal elements such as his father's voice reciting the poetry of Ahmad Shamlo on the track "Dar Shab ,در شب" collaborations with long-time friend Quelque Bourdon on clarinet, and the evocative sounds of the Persian setar, all anchored by the physicality and rhythms of the tombak. A sentiment further reflected in the album cover; a photograph taken by his father, Khosrow 'Payram' Peyghamy, picturing both his parents and grandparents. With this release, Peyghamy moves beyond conventional boundaries of "traditional versus contemporary" or "acoustic versus electronic," instead offering a nuanced exploration of identity through sound. Each track serves as a keepsake, referencing cherished memories, emotions, and musical influences that define his experience as a French-born artist of Iranian descent, unable to visit his home country. Music For Tombak & Synth invites listeners to engage with a deeply personal narrative, rooted in both cultural history and sonic innovation.

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.

"Pioneering electronic artist Steve Roach's La Rosa is a zenith in his five-decade live career. Blending new pieces born from the performance experience with essential classics, the 2-disc set captures a riveting sold-out December 6, 2025, show at the state-of-the-art La Rosa venue in Tucson, AZ. Build in a 1930's cathedral, La Rosa's set and setting empowers the music, as Steve taps into the collective memory of the sacred space itself. Performed and mixed by Steve in front of a hometown audience, with no later overdubs or edits, this astounding album transcends what a live concert could be. From electronic space music to deep reflective multi-dimensional sequencers to dreamtime material, listeners move through subtle, microscopic levels of reality where all forms are experienced as sound, a dynamic Steve describes as the 'soundcurrent' which crosses many styles, atmospheres, and moods. A remarkable gift for melody is showcased by the driving sequencer patterns that gain power through repetition; natural sounds dissolve the boundaries between the performance space and the surrounding landscape, with coyote howls and bird calls making the album shimmer. On the new 'Born of Darkness,' Steve plays the fujara -- a six-foot overtone flute -- producing snarling sparks of sonic lightning; and on 'Songlines' (from 1988's seminal Dreamtime Return), he delivers an ecstatic digeridoo performance demonstrating that the soundcurrent flows just as easily through the breath as through an electronic circuit. La Rosa's finale brings listeners to 1984's 'Structures From Silence,' played on the original Oberheim that produced the classic recording. As with Steve's catalog more broadly, designations like old and new, acoustic and electric, modern and traditional, melt away. The final burst of applause is like waking from a dream, reminded of the uncanny alignment of space and time you've just experienced."

A note from Lawrence English: "Beatriz Ferreyra is a sonic world builder. For six decades she has been responsible for the creation of works that inhabit a place between the living world and the subliminal zones of the unconscious. Her compositions forge new realities, constructed piece by piece, from fragments of places and things we know, reedited and refocused to create something few of us might even imagine possible. Ferreyra's life in sound has transcended from the analogue to the digital and back again. She is equally at home with tape manipulation as she is with digital transformations and it is this sense of material agnosticism which has lent her work such a personal quality. She pursues sound in the absolute, and allows it to guide her curiosity. A Distracted God collects three works from Ferreyra, each one a microcosm of listenership that speaks to her wholly consuming practice in sound. The edition takes in both tape and computer-based works, which reveal the very particular ways within which Ferreyra has explored and shaped sound. She remains one of the true pioneers of her generation, a fearless and relentless maker for whom the totality of sound's affect is forever front of mind." Cut at 45 RPM.

"The name Nexus was chosen by Daniele Cavallanti, whose tenor saxophone is accompanied by trumpet, trombone, double bass and drums. The Nexus version of this instrumental ensemble features Pino Minafra on trumpet, Luca Bonvini on trombone, Paolino Dalla Porta on double bass and Tiziano Tononi on drums (and percussion). Among those who are immediately the two main poles of the group, Cavallanti, of course, and Tononi, the harmony -- despite their differences (or rather, perhaps precisely because of these, given their shared idea of making music, far from any stale clichés) -- is almost instantaneous. Curiously, both started out on the drums, but then one, at the age of fourteen, switched to the saxophone, while the other, more attracted to the world of rock at least throughout his high school years, did not move on, embracing instead an increasingly generous range of percussion instruments, especially those of ethnic origin, primarily African. The work is as vital as ever, full of strong, affirmative moods and colors, with all the jazz that could be defined as post-Mingusian, but not without emblematic archaic reminiscences. The crackling colors of marching bands, certain 'fat' mutes by Minafra reminiscent of Ellington's jungle style, Bonvini's generous trombone, reminiscent of Roswell Rudd and Kid Ory. Between coordinates reminiscent of Ornette Coleman and Ayler, the four original tracks from the first edition released in 1983 are complemented by an unreleased track from the same session, 'Clown's Crown,' almost nine minutes by Cavallanti, who opens it on the tenor saxophone, positioning himself at the almost perfect (equidistant) confluence between Ayler and Shepp, reaffirming how deeply a certain lesson belongs to the DNA of the group."

"They tailor these materials into the tracks of Perspectives with an unusually keen attention to sound-building. If, on headphones, the result is a sound worthy of the finest engineering -- just listen to Beggio's inspired solo on 'Back and Forth' to catch even the last hertz of cymbals hanging in space -- it is also because these musicians have trained their ears to the subtlest acoustic possibilities of their instruments, placing them at the service of music with great ease and sincerity. 'Siren's Lounge' is a waltz that opens with a gentle minor third (one can't help thinking of Bill Evans' version of Jimmy Rowles' 'The Peacocks') and moves through modulations, carried by a rock-solid rhythm section. Fonnesbæk and Beggio themselves bring to life the intricate slow tempo -- 50 bpm -- of 'Next to You,' a lyrical gem in which the double bass solo circles the theme to generate further melodies that deserve to be transcribed and kept under lock and key. Something similar happens in 'Gi,' with the added value of Mauro Beggio chiseling that one-minute bass improvisation into a continuous cycle of original variations. The title track, 'Perspectives,' strategically placed at the album's midpoint, begins with an ostinato that -- through broad groups of triplets -- ushers us into improvisational moments where Polga displays a wide range of melodic solutions with remarkable breadth (already evident on his 'Doors,' 2024, also for Red). The journey through perspectives closes with a piece by Pieranunzi, 'Song for an August Evening,' which releases -- already from the piano intro -- a subtle, pervasive melancholy: a painful reflection in sound, and also a small handbook on what 'dynamics' in jazz truly means."

Rhythm is the first language. A pulse that starts somewhere in a machine, in hands, as a thought. Mincka exists in the creative process that sprouts from there: a dialogue between structure and chaos. Born as an idea between a drummer and a producer, they now call on producers, musicians, and creatives alike to give shape to Mincka as a continuously evolving project. Everything starts as a sketch: a fragment or a cadence that seems to lead nowhere until the live drums take over and the groove leads the way. Sometimes locked in with relentless beats; at other times, dreamy and elusive. Like the soundtrack to a fever dream with echoes of both Mo' Wax and International Anthem. From there, an open space emerges, where musicians freely respond to what already exists. Sounds are then cut up and reshaped, like film scenes that only find their meaning in the editing process. It's a fitting analogy for the background of Bosnian-Dutch drummer Sergej Kreso, who is also an acclaimed documentary filmmaker. Together with Dutch producer Subp Yao, he initiated Mincka. But through their approach, one thing becomes clear: Mincka is not a duo. Instead of a singular vision, different musicians and collaborators (from Seattle, Beijing, Maastricht, Essex, Amsterdam, Heerlen, and Uden) were invited to go into dialogue with the music. Their responses and sonic detours steered the sound from the get-go. Collaboration lies at the essence of Mincka. And so does contrast: human and machine. Organic and electronic. Free improvisation and meticulous precision. High appreciation for low-end theories. It's a continuously evolving sound that refuses to be put into a box. Instead, it kicks the box to pieces, rips up the remains, and reconstructs whatever's left into an entirely new collage. Featuring Blabbermouf and Princess Bangura. Also available with alternate artwork (RSRECS 020X-LP).

"Sham 69 were one of the most important and influential bands to emerge from the first wave of British punk. Formed in Hersham, Surrey, in 1975 and fronted by the charismatic Jimmy Pursey, the band quickly became known for their raw street energy and football terrace-style anthems that captured the voice of working-class youth in late 1970s Britain. This powerful collection brings together many of Sham 69's most iconic recordings, including punk classics such as 'If The Kids Are United,' 'Hurry Up Harry,' 'Borstal Breakout,' 'Angels With Dirty Faces,' and 'Hersham Boys.' Packed with sing-along choruses, sharp social commentary and the band's unmistakable street-punk sound, these tracks helped define the spirit of the era and cement Sham 69's place in punk history."

Hot on the heals of their spectacular self-titled debut album, The Handover is back with their second long form composition, New Old Medicine. Aly Eissa (oud), Ayman Asfour (violin), and Jonas Cambien (vintage organ/synth) have been cutting their teeth on the international touring circuit for the past two years, landing from town to town in their seductive spaceship to blow people's minds and then dematerialize into the void. An outline for a new piece began to emerge along the route and late last year during a stop in Berlin, this metamorphosis of the trio's sound was recorded in pristine form by Rabih Beaini at Morphine Studios. Attempting to define the music is not as important as allowing it to define itself -- from person to person, village to village. All we can do is suggest what may resonate to lure you into the arena; psychedelic, folkloric, Egyptian, etc., as these excerpts from the liner notes suggest: "Though one long piece, New Old Medicine moves through several unofficial chapters. It originates in the psychic depths with a pensive melody. Gradually solidifying, the organ's first solo ushers the piece into a swaying, reverent dance. This dance nears its end with a vigorously percussive section on oud, handing it off to the violin for a climactic solo. A momentary pause, then the rhythm thickens, and the musicians ride untethered through the midnight. This frenzy is followed by a calm repose on placid water. But this calm is merely a deep inhale before the final charged ascent into cosmic rapture." Don't sleep on this one! Limited edition vinyl pressing with two-page insert including liner notes by Tucker Wiedenkeller.

Upwards, the Crimes I Committed is Phil Maggi's twentieth album -- a body of work five years in the making, conceived between 2019 and 2024 across a period that moved through pandemic stillness and intense creative immersion: paintings, drawings, and deep readings in Islamic Iranian spirituality (particularly the illuminationist philosophy of Sohrawardi and Imaginal concept conceived by Henry Corbin), pursued at home and across a handful of studios -- La Rouille (Liège), Koko-Studios (Sprimont), Le Laboratoire Central (Brussels), and his own Iva Bedlam Studios. The music is mixing all sort of assorted sounds which are familiar to the world of the composer (ambient-atmospheric, soundscapes and free-jazz with a touch of concrete music). Into this singular space, Maggi invited a circle of collaborators and kindred spirits -- Catherine Graindorge, Roxane Leuridan (Ensemble Hopper), Pavel Tchikov (Ogives, Sopa Boba), Zoé Pireaux, Marie Billy (Ogives), Pascal Di Pinto, Gabriel Marguerie, and HP Desrosiers (Zääär) -- each bringing their own distinct voice and artistry to the work. Phil Maggi (b. 1980, Liège) is a sound artist, composer and filmmaker whose practice spans electronic avant-pop (IVA BEDLAM), solo work released on Idiosyncratics and Sub Rosa Records.

Limited edition of 250. Textured sleeve. Marbled yellow flame color. Jean Dubuffet used to define his music as something disordered and dirty. But here, it is a Dubuffet returning from a long journey in Africa, with haunting rhythms that reach trance-like states, corrupted by ErikM's UK Drill.
"With one exception, this disc is a recording of a concert given at the Ateliers Claus in Brussels in March 2024. It was preceded by three short hours of improvisation the day before and the day before that, during which ErikM and I made a series of careful observations of each other's playing. It must be said that neither of us had skimped on transporting a few cases, the contents of which would have allowed us to play several concerts in a row without ever repeating ourselves. Erik had brought his turntables to Brussels, as well as sophisticated electronic machines, accompanied by a virtually infinite sound bank. For my part, I had both a mechanical orchestra and a range of acoustic instruments at my disposal. In two sessions, we eliminated the superfluous and the ineffective. On the evening of the concert, it was through close observation-of each sound, each direction taken by one or the other, each intention, each break-that we composed this record in the moment: vigilant and scrutinizing, like the pairs of eyes on the cover of this album." --Pierre Bastien

Rock för kropp och själ stands as the final, definitive statement from Träd, Gräs och Stenar during their original tenure with the legendary Silence label. By 1972, the band had reached a breaking point. After five years of relentless touring -- defined by marathon three-to-four-hour performances delivered four or five nights a week -- the collective was physically and creatively spent. The weight of expectation had become a burden; the band felt pressured to deliver "maximum ecstasy" and total psychic immersion at every single gig. This period of high-intensity "flipped out" performances culminated in their final appearance at the Falun prison in July 1972, after which the members dispersed to refocus and recreate their individual artistic paths. Expanded content: Includes a bonus LP of rare live material from Denmark and Gothenburg.

After making listeners wait a decade for their first LP, Siyahkal hesitate none to deliver another blow to the head. Another twelve inches. On Corrupt, their trademark gallop comes through clearer while no less mired in ear-piercing quals of noise. Unrelenting in intensity for its 12-minute run time, "Corrupt" has a certain urgency to it -- a frustration, a tension and release. If it slows, it's only to recollect and come back blazing. At moments, the record harkens to the dissonance of LP-era DIE KREUZEN. At others, it harnesses the hypnotism of the first Una Bestia Incontrolable LP. Here, Siyahkal uses rhythmic propulsion like a jackhammer to the skull. If there are prisoners being taken, it will not be them.

Here is the second studio album by the German psychedelic rock band The Citadel. It is a curious mixture of musical styles reminiscent of the time around 1967, when bands experimented in the studio and paved new paths. So maybe, the album title Dawns on Mental Highways reflects the stance towards their music. Or maybe it hints at something different. Who can tell? All you need to do is listen, and there is a lot to hear: The singer seems to have a fragile voice, yet shouts her Dylanesque lyrics angrily from time to time. The organ player soaks half of the songs with a classic acid sound. The guitar player acts a folky one, throwing in acoustic tunes and flute, before bashing into heavy electric riffs. The bass player is unusually jumpy on his Tropicana-fused lines while the drummer dances and stomps easily as needed. A strange record indeed, especially for young listeners not familiar with its roots. The Citadel think it is time again to take a trip into psychedelic rock. Let it blow your mind!

Red Sun's fourth LP is a declaration of love for hidden places, both internal and geographical, which, precisely because of their unknown allure and insecurity, inspire profound reflections and silent catharsis. The seven tracks are imbued with a sound that is at times harsh and angular, yet always cultivates a dreamlike and sometimes epic imagery. It is the first album with vocals by the talented Elisa Brusati (then the singer of Noema) and lyrics by drummer and synth player Federico Rivoli. This choice has strengthened the band's cinematic and expressive inspiration, which in previous albums was entirely instrumental. The guitar and bass parts complement a less prominent use of synths and keyboards compared to the last album, From Sunset to Dawn although there is no shortage of themes and long psychedelic digressions, such as in the songs "Hidden Places" and "Sleeping Brain." The artwork is complemented by photography by Nicola Neso and designed by graphic designer Manlio Tenaglia, inspired by Federico Rivoli, who personally carved the font used for the song titles and the band's logo into the wall of the old mill where Red Sun has its rehearsal space. All this gives strength and coherence to the artistic project, which aims to describe hidden and time-worn places for which we cherish love and which are imbued with memories and precious details.

Leipzig duo not even noticed deliver their long-awaited debut album space beyond noise -- a 12-track journey balancing club functionality with immersive, long-form listening. Shaped by years of touring and a shared ritual of visiting botanical gardens around the world, the album blends shapely grooves, field recordings and warm melodic textures into a cohesive, lived-in sound. Subtle environmental details run throughout, creating a natural flow between tracks. Musically, it moves between electro-funk, breakbeat and hip-hop-inflected cuts, with downtempo and dubby excursions. Highlights include the driving "chrone," the sundown groove of "diras," the acid-tinged "plune," and the hazy two-step moment "skum." Designed with warmer months in mind, space beyond noise captures the balance between dancefloor energy and home listening depth.

"Heartbreakers L.A.M.F.: The Found '77 Masters is the definitive edition of one of punk rock's most infamous and beloved albums -- finally heard as it was meant to sound. Recorded in London in 1977 by the ex-New York Dolls pairing of Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan, L.A.M.F. became legendary not only for its snarling energy and classic songs but also for its supposedly 'muddy' mix -- an audio flaw that dogged every release for decades. The mystery began when Track Records collapsed and the original master tape vanished, forcing later reissues to rely on remixes and outtakes. That changed in 2020, when a forgotten 'Copy Master 12.7.77' was discovered in the archive of Track Records director and co-producer Danny Secunda. The tape revealed a crystal-clear mix of L.A.M.F. -- just as the band and producers originally intended. Though none of the original Heartbreakers lived to hear it, this rediscovered version restores the full punch, swagger, and grit of the 1977 sessions. Pressed on limited transparent vinyl and housed in a printed inner sleeve featuring photos by Roberta Bayley and liner notes by Simon Wright."

Wewantsounds continues its Middle East reissue series with Assa'd Khoury's 1978 rarity, Electronic Touches Belly Dance. Reissued for the first time in nearly 50 years in partnership with Byblos Records founder Mozart Chahine, the album features Oriental classics reimagined through Khoury's pioneering electronic keyboards. This definitive edition includes original artwork, remastered audio, a new introduction by Ahmed Khalil (Dikraphone), and an exclusive interview with Chahine, the album's producer, conducted by Mario Choueiry (IMA). Long a highly coveted find for DJs and vinyl collectors worldwide, Assa'd Khoury's 1978 album Electronic Touches Belly Dance has earned its cult status as one of the most sought-after instrumental LPs from the region. This release marks the very first reissue of the album, which has remained virtually impossible to find since its original pressing. Khoury (1953-2020), a Syrian virtuoso pianist, violinist, and leader of the Spring Band, bridged Levantine tradition with the cosmic, psychedelic textures of the late 1970s. As Dikraphone's Ahmed Khalil notes in his introduction, the music serves as "a sensory portal to a bygone Damascus, where a psychedelic Farfisa and mesmerizing rhythms create a unique groove" that remains remarkably fresh today. The album's history is tied to the legacy of the venerable Lebanese Chahine family. Mozart Chahine, son of the inventor of the quarter-tone keyboard, founded the Byblos label to champion music from the region. In an exclusive interview conducted by Mario Choueiry (IMA), he recalls encountering Khoury at his Damascus music store and recording the entire album in a single day. "The musicians were seasoned, much like jazzmen," Chahine reminisces, noting that the session captured a rare, immediate energy between the ensemble members. The musical journey spans the Arab world, offering electronic reinterpretations of Arabic standards and paying respect to Egyptian master Sayed Darwish. A cult classic that will surely please all Arabic groove lovers.

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.

An audio essay on crossing to the other side. The two distinct faces of the vinyl trace the boundary between life on earth and what lies beyond. Side A reflects the fragile, tangible world of mortals -- where love awakens as instinct and memory endures as a gift. Side B opens to the cosmic beyond, home to souls and celestial beings -- eternal presences that dwell beyond matter and the fleeting breath of existence. At the heart of the music moves a quietly ironic solace: the creative pulse that death, in its strange mercy, leaves behind when it takes someone dear. Written, performed, recorded, and mixed by Sissi Rada, with cherished appearances and collaborations from Charis Karantzas, Jay Glass Dubs, Oï les Ox, and Theodor Milkov.

Cluster -- Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius -- occupy a central position in the evolution of European electronic music, moving from early experimental noise into more open, melodic forms without losing their exploratory edge. Released in 1976, Sowiesoso finds the duo working with a new sense of clarity and restraint, shaping gentle, cyclical pieces from a small set of tools and a deliberately reduced studio setup. The music unfolds with quiet precision, balancing repetition and variation while maintaining an understated rhythmic flow. Marking its 50th anniversary, the album is reissued as a limited LP edition on 180g vinyl, hand-numbered and restricted to 1000 copies. A defining work from Cluster's mid-1970s period, presented in a carefully produced anniversary format. Sowiesoso follows on from Cluster's most highly acclaimed album Zuckerzeit. Michael Rother's influence was clearly audible on the latter, Cluster already having recorded two albums with him under the name of Harmonia. 1976 saw the duo looking for new musical forms. More than any other Cluster album, Sowiesoso represents the utopian vision of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius, its mellow transparency evoking the landscape of the Weser Uplands where the two musicians lived at the time. Sowiesoso is not the work of fanatic dreamers who have fled the metropolis, but the reward for their tenacious search for a new musical language. The LP's seven cuts were recorded in their own studio with modest equipment -- a fourtrack tape machine, two Revox A77 stereo tapedecks and a simple 8-channel mixer. Cluster were thus completely independent, able to work where and when they wanted, at their own pace. With no guest musicians, sound engineers or producers to accommodate, Cluster thrived on their new-found autonomous freedom. Sowiesoso captures them at the peak of their creative development, with the limited range of recording equipment enhancing the clarity of their vision, allowing them to concentrate on the music without drifting into narcissistic muso territory. Minimalist, yet neither formulaic nor automated, the album is a rhythmic tapestry of electronic and acoustic elements. This could only be Cluster music, its harmonies reaffirm the quality of song, in spite of eluding song structure as such.

For his sixth solo album, Ezéchiel Pailhès returns with a new collection of songs infused by a sunny wandering spirit. Within each of the twelve songs on SOL is a thread of melancholic happiness that has permeated much of Pailhès' music and songwriting. He addresses love, the passing of time, hope, lost illusions, fleeting moments of grace, the temptation of forgetting, a need to escape, and desire. All this is insulated by understated orchestrations that blend acoustic and electronic instrumentation with deft confidence. The Portuguese and Brazilian concept of saudade -- a form of melancholic longing and nostalgia -- pervades, thanks in part to Pailhès decision to record the album in Rio de Janiero and to reinterpret some of the finest works of Música Popular Brasileira (MPB). In particular, he revisits a handful of lesser-known classics from the mid-century samba and bossa nova era -- originally written or performed by talents including VinÃcius de Moraes, João Gilberto, Tom Zé, Dorival Caymmi, João Donato, Os Tincoãs, and Ataulfo Alves. The shift from Brazilian Portuguese to French and the decision to adapt rather than perform a straight-forward cover versions, allows Pailhès to invent a form of prosody and euphony that feels vibrant and unlike anything else in today's French chanson landscape. The French artist was keen to avoid cliché. Each song is therefore built around a carefully balanced interplay between Pailhès' piano and synthesizers, alongside restrained arrangements of percussion, brass, bass, and cavaquinho (a small four-string plucked guitar). These parts were recorded in Rio de Janeiro with two musicians who regularly perform alongside the legendary Caetano Veloso -- Kainã Do Jêje and Alberto Continentino -- joined by Thomas Harres, Antônio Neves, Eduardo Neves, and Gabriel Loddo. With SOL, Ezéchiel Pailhès reinvents this rich Franco-Brazilian musical legacy, bringing to it a personality and modernity that stand confidently alongside those of his forbears.

Pon is Tujiko Noriko's sixth album for Editions Mego and a further extension of her already significant body of work as both a solo and collaborative artist. Dedicated to her cat who she adopted as an infant and passed away due an accident having been born deaf, Pon is imbued with abstraction, tenderness and a deep emotional resonance. Noriko's palette of electronics, romantic melodies and surprising sonic details are all fully present here, and like her last full length, 2023's Crépuscule this is an epic work, released as a 2LP by Editions Mego. The unmistakable hue of Japan hovers throughout this emotional rich landscape. Subtle field recordings and fragile, abstract motifs drift through the album, all cloaked in a warmth and humanity that only Noriko seems able to conjure. Pon moves effortlessly between the childlike and the obscure. There are moments of deceptive simplicity where unexpected elements suddenly surface -- strange voices emerge on "Boku Wa Obaka." "Knife of Yonder" is a standout: a startling ten-minute unfolding that begins with a warm, almost Eno-esque drift before launching into a soaring mid-section and finally landing somewhere unexpectedly blues-adjacent. "Kikoeru Pon" is brimming with childlike wonder -- a heartfelt ballad that dissolves into domestic field recordings, including sounds of the feline for whom both the album and track are named. A quietly devastating ending that brings the personal nature of the record into sharp focus. There is a deep sense of the human in the way Noriko embraces technology. This is far from cold abstraction; rather, Pon feels like a colorful photo album, documenting Noriko's inner world and instincts with remarkable intimacy. Hovering in liminal states between pop, ambient and abstraction, this is a deeply affective and moving release that reveals new surprises with each listen. The emotional range of Noriko's latest offering inspires hope in a world in disarray. It is both gentle and epic and one which we feel embodies the work of an artist fully at the height of her powers.

Maria is the debut album from renowned Brazilian electric bassist and composer Moyses Dos Santos. A homecoming for the London-based artist, Moyses' debut reconnects him with his North-Eastern roots while assembling an international cast of collaborators including legendary Brazilian arranger Arthur Verocai, US trumpet sensation Theo Croker and London-based vocal star Lynda Dawn. After relocating from Brazil to London in the early 2000s, Moyses dos Santos quickly became one of the capitals' most in-demand players, sharing stages, studios, and writing credits with best-selling artists including Nile Rodgers, Janelle Monáe, Emile Sandé, Gregory Porter, and Omar. In 2022, Moyses toured with Brazilian jazz-funk legends Azymuth, completing the rhythm section alongside Brazilian drumming master Ivan "Mamão" Conti. "It felt like he was my wise Brazilian grandfather figure." Moyses recalls. "When you spend so many years working internationally, you unconsciously start to leave certain parts of yourself behind. Mamão encouraged me to reconnect with Brazilian music, and that's where this record really began." Brazil's North-east, where African, indigenous and European traditions collided and fused most intensely, produced a musical heritage unlike anything else on earth, Moyses dos Santos is a product of this syncretism. On Maria, named after his mother, Moyses brings the musical vocabularies of his youth to the fore. From the soul of the church band where he began to learn his trade as a musician, to the rolling batucadas - maractus, baiaos, sambas and frevos - which he played throughout his teenage years. Drawing on the lineage of North American electric bass giants like George Duke, Jaco Pastorius, and Stanley Clarke, Moyses runs Brazilian musical traditions through jazz, funk, soul and disco: his sound charged with the cosmopolitan energy of London's contemporary jazz scene. Lead single and album opener "Boa Viagem" is joyous, carnivalesque dancefloor jazz: a timeless groove for the nightclub and street party alike. Calling directly to a higher power "Brazilian Spirit" is an astral-jazz phenomenon, featuring the transcendent trumpet playing of Grammy nominated Theo Croker. On "Saudade" Moyses calls upon iconic Brazilian maestro Arthur Verocai, whose signature string arrangements cascade around the divine vocals of ascendant London artist Lynda Dawn.

"'METALLIC K.O.' is the remarkable album of Iggy & The Stooges confrontational 'last ever gig' (until their reunion almost 30 years later). Effectively the fourth Stooges album with then brand new and unheard songs, it was released in 1976 three years after Raw Power while Iggy was in limbo. Soon after the gig Iggy checked into a mental hospital. The sound of kamikaze Iggy provocatively abusing his audience and then dodging eggs and bottles thrown by a biker gang enhanced Iggy's reputation in the embryonic punk scene as the Punk Godfather. Nothing like it had been heard before. It became a must-have album in the emerging punk scene and put Iggy & the Stooges back in the spotlight. This 50th Anniversary edition on limited transparent blue vinyl has the original LP track list. In the 2007 CD re-mastering, an original tape-speed error was discovered and corrected -- so now for the first time on vinyl the album can be heard at the correct pitch. The album contains Iggy Pop's story of the events surrounding the gigs as well as contemporaneous reports from Nick Kent, Giovanni Dadomo and Lester Bangs. An essential album in Iggy's history."

Stone Anthem is the alias of UK based multi-instrumentalist artist Archie Ingram. The project took shape in 2019, when he was aged 12, and began self-releasing music the same year. Since then, the project blossomed into a world full of colors, experimental, heavily psychedelic textures and layers. The future of Stone Anthem lies in exploration of elements depicting heavy psychedelic walls of noise, dream pop, delicate ballads, trippy experimental pop and ambient gaze soundscapes, bending and molding genre conventions into something fresh. Stone Anthem has received guidance support, and mentorship from artists such as Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3, Spectrum), Three Quarter Skies (Simon Scott of Slowdive) whom he has both performed live with. He continues to combine genres, movements and shapes in sound.

LP version. After years of fronting some of rock's most iconic acts, Erik Grönwall returns with a solo album titled Bad Bones. Known worldwide for his powerhouse vocals and commanding stage presence, Erik has made his mark as the frontman of Skid Row, H.E.A.T, and, more recently, touring across Europe and Japan (and recording a UFO anniversary album) providing lead vocals for guitar legend Michael Schenker. With Bad Bones, he now turns the focus fully inward, delivering a raw and honest statement that marks a bold new chapter in his career. "Bad Bones" single sets the tone for an album that is fearless, personal, and uncompromising. The album is built entirely on original material and represents a return to songwriting at its core -- honest, powerful, and deeply personal. Alongside his work on stage and in the studio, Erik has built an enormously successful YouTube channel, amassing millions of views and a global audience drawn to his powerful interpretations and authenticity. With Bad Bones, that same raw connection now fuels his own original voice.

Essex-based psych-folk trailblazers The Owl Service celebrate 20 years with a new career-spanning 2CD set. The Owl Service started life in 2006 as a solo bedroom project for multi-instrumentalist Steven Collins, but it soon blossomed into a global collective with a rotating cast of singers and players that was as hard to keep up with as their sprawling discography. Apart from a brief alliance with Southern Records and a handful of releases on Static Caravan, Reverb Worship, and Fruits de Mer, they've been fully self-sufficient for their entire 20-year history, cementing their position as perennial alt. folk outsiders. The tracklisting here draws heavily from the band's early self-releases and compilation appearances, and also includes a selection of choice cuts from their three acclaimed studio albums. The story is brought right up to date with several more recent tracks, which have seen a prolific return to recording largely inspired by the arrival of new singers Dorothy Chappell and Rebecca Leivers. The album also includes one new and exclusive recording, a version of the traditional song "Brigg Fair." The music here shifts from fairly traditional folk, through faithful 1970s vintage folk-rock, to doom-laden folk-horror inspired psych-folk, all of it handled with an impeccable touch that's always respectful towards the band's many diverse influences.

Holy Sun Opera House at its core is soprano and drummer Krissy Barker with composer dl Salo. Along with a revolving cast of collaborators, singers and performers, they create emotionally engaging and haunting symphonic music embellished by electronics, heavy drums and synthesizers. The group has been described as "Opera Cult" and as one who would play at the Roadhouse in Twin Peaks. They draw influence from early Dead Can Dance, Fever Ray, and Klaus Nomi. The Holy Sun Opera House is the group's self-titled debut. The self-produced album was conceptualized as a way to describe an obsessive mind with music and inspired by the recurring dreams of singer Krissy Barker. In it is a realm of shifting rooms, dilapidated houses and passages. These unsettled rooms and spaces pose a striking confrontation of fear and anxiety from deep within. In its conception, The Holy Sun Opera House was written as a passage through these ethereal dreams and spaces. The song "Latched On" depicts the compulsive psyche as a draining physical entity attached. While "Voice of Gob," "Decrepit Mansion," and "Room with the Rain" observe and attempt to find acceptance in this conflict. "The Passages I & II" travel between the curtains to the unknown entity residing in "The Attic," who looks inside the mind of the dreamer and determines she has no soul. The album blends genres with electro, darkwave, and contemporary classical music. The ritualistic passages of the choir throughout the album are reminiscent of Wicker Man and 1970's mystic cults, praising the deities residing within the dream. The arrangement of synths, electronics, heavy drums and operatic singing lend itself to something uniquely memorable.

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.

Following the exploratory framework of Closer Now, Everlasting Flame sees Bartosz Kruczyński aka Earth Trax moving further into introspection, embracing a more experimental language that drifts between ambient abstraction and rhythm-driven forms. The album unfolds through cold, shimmering atmospheres and submerged low-end structures, navigating a subtle tension between melancholy and propulsion. Its sonic palette remains fluid, shifting between hazy ambient passages, dub-inflected textures and more fractured, bass-driven moments, while maintaining a strong sense of cohesion throughout. A defining element of the record lies in its contrasts: low, brooding pads and diffused beats are set against piercing high-end details, distant vocal fragments and flashes of raw, distorted intensity. This interplay creates a sound world that feels at once fragile and forceful, intimate yet expansive, with a persistent sense of longing running beneath the surface. With Everlasting Flame, Earth Trax continues to move beyond strictly club-oriented structures, shaping a body of work that exists in a liminal space between functionality and free-form expression -- immersive, textural and emotionally resonant. A record that lingers in the in-between, where rhythm dissolves into atmosphere and emotion takes the lead.

"Key To World Peace is the third release by Prophetic Justice Ministry -- aka Australian musician Sam Perry. An atmospheric, cinematic album that belies a striking pop songwriting nous at its core, its conductor Prophetic Justice Ministry is at the center of a new wave of creative, rule-bending Melbourne artists. Romantic, smudged and hazy, Perry emerges from behind a wall of half-light with a clutch of earworms and affecting emotions. Recorded in home studios in Belgrade (Serbia), Christchurch (New Zealand) and Melbourne (Australia) over the course of three years, Key To World Peace offers a dichotomy in approach. Shifting on a dime between ambient, filmic washes of sound and more traditional song structures, the approach feels natural, casually acid-tipped and emotionally revealing. While Perry's distinctive keys and production melding with melody is evidenced in Melbourne group Who Cares?, as Prophetic Justice Ministry there's a heightened sense of mystery and space being used. Swirling in a psychedelic fog with dry iced chords falling down like melting stars, the album pulses with an ominous, distorted intro that sculpts air into blocks of sound before Psyop offers a glimpse through the gloom at the artist navigating through crushed, shoe-gazing chords, singing a consolation into an abandoned building. Key To World Peace flits between displaying a spectrum of blurred emotional resonance in its instrumental passages and vulnerability in the shape of raw, melodic songwriting. With his first release outside of Australia and vinyl debut, Sam Perry's Prophetic Justice Ministry is a beguiling dance in and out shadows."

French label Latency presents Estradas (Versions) -- a dynamic reimagining of the acclaimed collaboration between drummer-composer Valentina Magaletti and Afro-Portuguese producer NÃdia. Following Estradas' recognition as one of 2024's Best Albums by Pitchfork, The Wire, Resident Advisor, Artforum, Bandcamp, and more, Estradas (Versions) invites a diverse lineup of producers and DJs to deconstruct and reimagine the raw percussive language initially crafted by Magaletti and NÃdia. Where the original Estradas channeled their distinct rhythmic sensibilities into a bold sonic statement, this collection pushes those ideas further -- opening the material to radical transformation across tempo, genre, and mood. One of the leading baile funk innovators from Belo Horizonte, DJ Anderson do ParaÃso opens the release by transforming "Andiamo" into a slow-burning, hallucinatory drift. Mexico-based Rosa Pistola and Freebot follow with "Rapido," infusing it with syncopated, raw heat drawn from the pulse of underground Latin dancefloors. Lebanese-Australian producer DJ Plead pares "Sicilia" down to its core, distilling its essence into stripped-back, polyrhythmic tension. On "Mata," Brazilian DJ and producer BADSISTA delivers a fierce, bass-heavy version driven by slicing synths and unrelenting club pressure. Multidisciplinary artist FAUZIA sharpens the rhythmic intricacy of "Nasty" with her signature blend of speed and emotion. London-born DJ, producer, and label founder Sherelle -- known for her high-octane 160bpm mix of footwork and jungle -- injects "Estradas" with blistering breakbeat energy, reframing its urgency through a razor-sharp UK lens. Chinese musician and sound artist Yu Su offers a fluid, atmospheric reinterpretation of the same track, softening its edges while preserving its momentum. Scottish composer and producer Fergus Jones pulls "No Promises" into hypnotic new rhythmic terrain. Dominican producer and multidisciplinary artist Kelman Duran stretches "Ta A Bater Ya" into a shadowy, reverberant space, while Lebanese composer and multi-instrumentalist Charif Megarbane and its Cosmic Analog Ensemble reimagines it with layered, cinematic textures echoing vintage library music and psych-jazz soundtracks. These artists treat Estradas as raw material - reframing its structures and reactivating its rhythmic possibilities through entirely new prisms. What emerges is not a conventional remix album, but a vibrant constellation of versions: a response to Estradas' percussive provocations, and an extension of its spirit of exploration -- all while keeping its pulse alive.

Ricardo Villalobos runs wild on Mohammad Reza Mortazavi's Persian tombak hand drum actions, expanding a four-minute kernel of inspiration into 24 minutes of mesmerizing polyrhythmic traction. From an original "Swamp" piece that practically recalls Ricardo's style of slinky minimal techno sorcery to begin with, the Chilean-German maverick derives a more driving tract of rough-hewn rhythmic grit bound to hypnotize floors for the duration. Accentuating the undulating bass and dialing up the volume whilst retaining the frictional grind of the original, Villalobos gets right inside the groove with typically obsessive tekkerz, plucking out additional string motifs and tempering the flow with signature, taut but sinuous, loosey goosey flex that cross-pollinates cultures and gets right under the skin of the thing. Ricardo Villalobos (b. 1970, Chile) is a pioneering figure in minimal techno, celebrated for his hypnotic and groovy approach to rhythm. Raised in Germany after his family fled Pinochet's regime, Villalobos was drawn early to percussion -- he began playing congas and bongos at eleven, developing a tactile relationship to rhythm that would later inform his distinctive production style. Immersed in both Latin American folk traditions and the emerging house and techno scenes of late-'80s Europe, he began DJing and producing in the early 1990s, quickly achieving cult status within global club culture. Mohammad Reza Mortazavi (b. 1979, Iran) is a virtuoso percussionist known for his groundbreaking work with the tombak and daf, traditional Persian drums that he has radically redefined through new playing techniques. Mortazavi began playing the tombak at the age of six. By nine, he had already outpaced his teacher and won Iran's national tombak competition -- a distinction he would earn six more times. By his early twenties, he was widely regarded as one of the foremost players of the instruments. Since then, his music has continued to evolve, embracing new forms beyond tradition.

"Mr. B is the album recorded in 1983 by Chet Baker and is considered one of the best from that period. Baker plays compositions by Herbie Hancock 'Dolphin Dance,' Horace Silver's 'Strollin' and Dave Brubeck's 'In Your Own Sweet Way.' The sadness of the songs is felt throughout, in a lazy sometimes slow and sluggish tempo. The album includes two bonus tracks 'White Blues' and 'Father X-mas' and band members include Michel Graillier (piano) and Ricardo Del Fra (bass). Mr. B is available as a limited edition on silver colored vinyl, the album sleeve contains liner notes by Wim van Eyle and affixed on the protective sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless Jazz sticker."

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

As a follow-up to Munster's previous work reissuing the recordings of Pau Riba, a key figure in Catalonia's counter-culture and music scene, the label now presents Juguetes De Época Y Cajas De Cerillas -- Singles y Rarezas: Primera Epoca (1967-1969). This collection brings together songs taken from rare releases in his discography -- such as the album recorded at one of the concerts performed by Grup de Folk during its brief existence, Folk 2 (1968) -- as well as from his singles: "Taxista!" (1967), "Noia de porcellana" (1969), "Miniatura" (1969), "L'home està tic" (1967), "Pau i Jordi" (1968), and "El Nadal no té 20 anys" (1967). Alongside these tracks, this compilation also releases for the first time part of the previously unheard material found on magnetic tapes discovered in the artist's studio after his passing. Among these tapes were the instrumental recordings of "Taxista!" -- versions with slight differences from those issued on the original single, possibly prepared for television playbacks. These recordings provide further insight into the making of Riba's first release, particularly regarding the mixing process and the later addition of subtle details. The album also includes an extensive booklet featuring detailed liner notes and photographs of the artist.

Reissue, originally released in 1960. After four brilliant singles, in 1969 the Peruvian band New Juggler Sound, formed by Saúl Cornejo (guitar), David Levene (lead guitar), Ernesto Samané (bass), Carlos Salom (organ), and Manuel Cornejo (drums), changed their name to Laghonia and released their debut LP Glue on the MAG label. The album included those previously released tracks, which were very influenced by the British rock scene of those years, to which they added fiery guitars bursting with fuzz and wah-wah, the ever present and hypnotic Hammond organ sound and Latin American percussion and rhythms. The result was a wonderful mix of mid-60s British beat melodies, Jimi Hendrix's intense rock, Cream's heavy blues and Santana's Latin rock. Glue is regarded as one of the key albums of Latin American psych and garage rock and is an essential record for any fan of those genres. Recommended if you like similar classic bands such as Traffic Sound, We All Together, Black Sugar, and Telegraph Avenue. 180 gram vinyl LP in tip-on jacket and insert with liner notes.

Reissue, originally released in 1971. In 1970, after four fantastic singles under the name New Juggler Sound, the Peruvian band formed by Saúl Cornejo (guitar), David Levene (lead guitar), Ernesto Samané (bass), Carlos Salom (organ), and Manuel Cornejo (drums) changed their name to Laghonia and recorded their debut LP Glue for the MAG label. It was an album influenced by the British rock of the era to which they added fiery guitars full of fuzz and wah-wah, the omnipresent and hypnotic Hammond organ sound and Latin American percussion and rhythms. A perfect mix of the British beat melodies of the mid-60s, Jimmy Hendrix's intense rock, Cream's heavy blues and Santana's Latin rock. Laghonia returned to the studio in 1971 to record a new LP for MAG. Packaged in a clearly psychedelic gatefold sleeve designed by the band's drummer, Manuel Cornejo, Etcétera shares all the elements of the first LP although on this occasion the compositions, while keeping their immediacy and featuring strong melodies and choruses, have a more complex structure, ranging from psychedelia to progressive rock through superb dark King Crimson-esque passages and shining moments of pastoral folk. 180 gram vinyl LP in tip-on jacket, includes bonus 7" single and insert with liner notes.

Caleb Quaye only released one single in the sixties under his own name, but what a record it is. Released on Philips in June 1967, "Baby Your Phrasing is Bad" boldly rides the surging psychedelic wave that was about to crest in London that summer with swirling fuzz guitar, a spiraling solo, and a hazy, spaced-out vocal. On the other side, "A Woman of Distinction" is only fractionally less freaky with treated vocals and a short but gracefully-executed guitar solo. Contrary to hearsay, rumors and guesswork, it can be confirmed that Elton John did not play on the session. However, shortly afterwards, this same core lineup, with Caleb producing, recorded an album with Elton, Regimental Sgt Zippo, a superb psychedelic pop work that remained unreleased until 2021. A master class of shimmering, surrealistic '67 British psychedelia that is widely considered a holy grail of the genre. Reissued for the first time.

Stingray returns three years after Fortress Britain. Back with a new line up and an ever more savage sound, massive sounding on a five-track 12" EP. Enemy is London on a plate. Stench-tinged hardcore punk born of the ever-reaching infinity of Britain's complex and confusing capital. Nihilistic acid burns in the style of Neuroot, Death Side and Doom, under a few minutes per piece, peppered with prosciutto-dipped Van Halen style solos Ala later Wretched or Shotgun Solution. Vocal visitations by Ciara Savage bring frightening melodic elements into the occasional foray into truly irresistible mosh, not far from the barbed wire trailblazing of Gastunk, Sod, and Sacrilege before flying back into fast paced passages of "Scandinavian Jawbreaker" worthy velocity. Recorded at Fuzzbrain by Jonah Falco. Mixed and mastered by Chris Corry at the Paincave. Draped in a Tin Savage sleeve, and released on the ever-eternal home of musical suffering, La Vida Es Un Mus Discos.

On his new album, Micha Acher rearranged compositions for bands such as Tied & Tickled Trio and Ms. John Soda from previous years. None of the 15 pieces from Henry and the Ghost is really scary. On the contrary, they all feel strangely familiar. Like revenants or doppelgängers, which in fact they are. They have all been released before. But in a different form. In different line-ups. With different band projects such as Tied & Tickled Trio, The Notwist or the Alien Ensemble. With the Songbook, Micha Acher's aim was, as he says, to find out how the familiar pieces sound in a chamber music instrumentation. Therefore he met with Theresa Loibl (bass clarinet, piano), Timm Kornelius (bassoon), Markus Rom (guitar, banjo, electronics) and Simon Popp (drums, percussion) in his living room for a musical séance in the summer of 2022. The séance lasted two days. Afterwards, Markus Rom added some haunting electronical ideas. The mood of most of the pieces is melancholic. There are surprising twists and siren-like melodies. Just as ghost stories should be. However, most of the songs sound very light-footed. With their feet in pop, folk, jazz and classical music. The concluding "Nordlead" turns out to be a revenant of the instrumental "N.L." from The Notwist's legendary album Shrink from 1998. In the new version, the piece sounds like a distant echo. One that also brings to mind how Micha Acher's music has evolved. Which new worlds he explored and opened up since the nineties. And yet Acher's signature is recognizable in every single note of this fascinating Songbook.

This is an excellent documentation of the rare live performances of Talk Talk. Recorded in 1986 the concert shows some new experimental elements which are fitting the band to the prog rock genre. Eight tracks were offered -- a best of collection from their pre-Spirit Of Eden-phase. Mark Hollis concentrates himself at the vocal parts and all the instruments are acting in a perfect interaction. This album manifests the disengagement of Talk Talk from synth pop in a very majestic way.

The Alabamahalle concert in Munich on December 2nd 1985 was broadcast live on German TV. One amazing thing about this concert is that despite Paddy's usual rigid adherence to the set list, he was told to play things in a different order to get the "hits" into the first half of the broadcast -- the live show was split over two programs with the first half being the popular one. This clearly annoyed him, and he reinstated the same songs in the correct order later in the show.

It is said that DJ Koze creates musical universes -- yet what many don't realize is this: the universe itself was created 13.8 billion years ago by DJ Koze, before he condescended to become physical matter. He was the force of gravity that held everything together -- and today, as for over 35 years, he continues to surprise again and again, scattering his stardust across the night sky. It's simply unbelievable.

A note from Aviva Endean: "Following our 2024 self-titled release, Nick and I were compelled to make another record, expanding on the distinctive sound world we have found as the duo Driftwood. Grounded in the unique instrumentation of two microtonally re-tuned pump organs, alongside clarinets and guitars, the sonic landscape of Driftwood has become a welcoming place for us to inhabit together. The distinctive characteristics of these instruments, as well as the challenge of playing multiple instruments simultaneously, have become a frame we've leaned into more and more, trusting the vitality of their combined resonance to lead us further into uncharted paths of improvisation. For our second album, we wanted to incorporate additional elements from each of our solo practices into our sound: modular synth, effects pedals, electric guitar and contact mics (because playing two instruments at the same time wasn't enough for us!) In Maps, electronics are subtly worked back into the original improvisations, saturating the live instrumentation with bass undertones and signal processing, pushing the sound into more otherworldly realms. Sometimes the pieces hint toward song-like forms, with repetitive guitar ostinatos lulling the music to the edge of familiarity, while other times the drones and harmonies blur, creating the ground from which glimpses of folk-like melodies surface, as if from a long-forgotten dream."

A note from Gabriella: "Parasymbiosis -- the ability of two separate organisms to exist closely together. I have long pondered the concept of connectedness in relation to life's existence. The Dalai Lama teaches that destruction of one's neighbor equates to destruction of oneself. In contrast, modern Western culture has placed the individual at the epicenter of existence -- to the detriment of non-humans and humans alike. Ecological Memory influences present or future responses of a community; it is this shared memory that enables organisms, objects and the environment to connect to each other, and to the other. What happens when a community or ecological system loses this memory, this connection? The systems begin to break down; intergenerational memory evolves in rapid short steps, culture and connection becomes unrecognizable. Time speeds up. Yet with the naked eye, the universe reflects slow time. Its very distance provides a sense of stasis. Understanding the night sky could very well be the vastness of time we have forgotten through our ecological memory, our loss of the visible difference between the likes of night and day; non-referenceable and dictated by intangible rhythms that exist beyond the cyclic elements of nature. Through Parasymbiosis I imagined sounds of the inherent connection between the earth and the universe. Contemporary society has rendered invisible the heritage of the night sky and what it teaches us. The wonder and awe it inspires, in its pure, unadulterated form untouched by light pollution and modern satellite activity, has always informed non-human and human life cycles and human culture. In modern times, only 40% of human beings can still see the Milky Way. We have forgotten that the dark sky and the earth reflect each other -- they are, as a metaphor, parasymbiotic. The Electric Cristal (EC) features strongly in Parasymbiosis. It is a microtonal, electro-acoustic instrument that has captured my imagination through its deep and fragile resonance created by touching glass rods encased in aluminum. Ceated by Dylan Crismani (AUS) in 2019, the EC conjures vast soundscapes. Electronics exploit the volatile vibrations and random frequencies that the instrument generates."

The early '80s in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, was hardly the place where music dreams came true. It had an amazing venue called Friars which was on the touring circuit, but very few local bands. There was the Vice Creems fronted by Kris Needs and there was the notorious yet terrible Sore Willies. Effigy came from the ashes of the Sore Willies and formed in 1983. Effigy came fully formed and instantly became popular in the local area, where they put on a weekly night at the Uptown Coffee Bar. The band hardly left Aylesbury though, and when they did it was to play in nearby High Wycombe and Bicester. They played bigger gigs with everyone from Alien Sex Fiend, Billy Bragg, UK Decay, The Scars and Spizz. The band recorded one five track demo in October 1983 and it is simply unbelievable that it has never been re-released, but then again the bands legacy seems to have banished without a trace, with literally no mentions anywhere. Making their demo one of the hardest ones from 1983 to track down, or even hear, since it is not even uploaded on YouTube. Effigy's sound is so instant. It's driving, tight female fronted post punk with hooks, style, and had it been released at the time would have made them a household name. Think a straight ahead version of Siouxsie And The Banshees, early X-Mal Deutschland, The A-Heads or the Skeletal Family but with a more pop edge. The songs lyrically were around the obsession with paganism and old black and white horror films, the name Effigy was taken from a book Roger was trying to write about witchcraft and the Pendle witch trials called Effigy of Isobel, which was never completed (due to his very low attention span) but a song on this recording did emerge. The release comes with a lyric sheet and a new interview with the band.

Remnants is an album marked by the ambiguity of presence and absence. The pieces, recorded using minimal equipment in what Ayami Suzuki describes as a ritual-like atmosphere, began as a way of processing the loss of her father in 2019. But beyond this, they also come to speak to the ways in which loss changes peoples' relationship with someone, and their experiences of the world. Indeed, the experience of loss is not marked merely by a single event, but is instead a process that unfolds over time. Despite the other's absence, a particular location, the smell of a certain brand of tobacco, a look on a friend's face -- traces such as these are enough to bring about a renewed presence. It is through these subtle traces and remnants, encountered over time, that listeners come to understand loss as not only the acceptance of absence, but the recognition of a continued presence. As Suzuki says, "this is not a solo album." Its creation was instead shaped by an ongoing dialogue, the continued elaboration of a complex and ambivalent relationship. At once melancholic, warm, and embracing, it is this ambiguity, these subtle traces, that Suzuki's compositions speak to. These are not merely the sounds of mourning, but instead have been shaped by the evolving dialectic of presence and absence into something far more subtle and haunting.

Josh Mason's new collection, Wave Salt +7, emerges from an oblique origin. Unearthed from a dormant hard drive, it documents a set of work sessions only partially recoverable, their original continuity and intent fractured by time and technical failure. What remains is a constellation of mercurial gestures that proves, against all odds, to be entirely consonant with Mason's ongoing musical concerns. In a sense, the very condition of partiality proves generative, with elision operating on multiple levels -- structural, sonic, and archival -- shaping both the music itself and the circumstances of its (re)appearance. Phrases surface only to be truncated or displaced, hovering at the edge of resolution, and transitions are implied rather than fully enacted. Absence functions not as a deficit, but as an important compositional resource. Central to the album's sound is a distinctive use of vocoding. Deployed not to simulate vocal presence but as a tool for tonal sculpting, it yields a shifting lattice of smeared harmonics, angular melody, and attenuated noise. Sounds are pressed through one another, their edges softened, shifted, or selectively erased, producing surfaces simultaneously articulated and porous. Rather than reconstructing a lost whole, the album posits a mode of listening attuned to gaps, interruptions, and unstable forms. Even so, in keeping with Mason's broader practice, this music remains grounded in melodic logic and a distinctly human scale, ensuring that its fragmentary structures register not solely as experiments, but as expressions of proximity and feeling.

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.

Following Murder Ballads [Drift] (2021, SR 506LP) and Murder Ballads [Passages], (2022, SR 510LP) here is the last chapter of the trilogy: Murder Ballads [Incest Songs]. First time on LP vinyl. Textured sleeve with marbled vinyl. Incest Songs is the final chapter of the Murder Ballads trilogy, and its most fully realized expression. Where Drift and Passages explored the post-isolationist frame through voice and single instrument, this third volume dispenses with that approach entirely, opening instead onto a more labyrinthine sonic architecture -- one built from overlapping, saturating, blurring voices, all of them Martyn Bates'. The decision feels both inevitable and quietly inspired. Bates' vocalizations unfold as layered calls and responses, muted and distant echoes, sung whispers and counter-melodies, ultimately resolving into a mesmeric conversation of musical inferences and correspondences. There is a mellifluous, dream-like quality to the whole -- infused with that characteristic stillness that slow, hypnotic unfolding of gossamer subtlety -- yet never quite losing a certain drugged, disquieting beauty beneath its surface. Incest Songs pushes the post-isolationist form further out than either of its predecessors, innovating and extemporizing with a dazzling assurance. And yet, remarkably, this remains a territory still almost entirely unexplored by other artists -- the sole province, it seems, of M.J. Harris and Martyn Bates. As Bates himself reflects: "I feel, in personal terms -- listening to it, I think it's easy to detect that the whole thing has been a truly exhilarating experience for the both of us, realizing and developing this strange, sublime creature of ours -- and now I guess it's up to others to take up the challenge, to build on what we've done -- and I think that there are still SO MANY fantastic possibilities." Re-emerging thirty years after its initial inception -- somewhat surprisingly, Murder Ballads [Incest Songs] still remains/exists in an area overlooked by other artists, an area that truly still remains the sole province of M.J. Harris/Martyn Bates.

Many Many Women by Petr KotÃk is a large-scale composition for voices and instruments from 1975-78 on the text of Gertrude Stein's novella of the same name. It was published in Paris in 1910 as part of the book G.M.P. -- Gertrude, Matisse, Picasso. Voices and instruments performed by members of S.E.M. Ensemble and Ostravská banda. In 1972, the book was published again by Dick Higgins in his publishing venture Something Else Press. KotÃk used the complete text, which determined the length of the piece. Inspired by his close collaboration with the composer and singer Julius Eastman, KotÃk began composing for voice in 1971. Gertrude Stein was the first author KotÃk used in a series of compositions on her texts. Many Many Women is the culmination of this series. A performance of the entire composition lasts almost six hours and features three pairs of singers and three pairs of instrumentalists performing in parallel perfect intervals: fifths, fourths, and octaves. It can also be performed in a shorter version with a smaller instrumentation. Starting in the mid-1970s, Many Many Women was performed incrementally, as KotÃk continued to compose the piece. The completed composition was premiered in its entirety in 1979, in a series of three consecutive six-hour performances: at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, New York, and in New York City, at Paula Cooper Gallery and at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The current recording of Many Many Women features two sopranos; countertenor; tenor; bass-baritone; bass; two flutes; two trumpets; and two trombones. The poetic nature of the text evokes imagery that can lead to staging. In June 2022, the festival New Opera Days Ostrava (NODO) presented the complete (one movement, six-hour in duration) performance of Many Many Women. Subsequently, the piece was recorded and edited down to a length of a double CD -- 142 minutes of music. The liner notes were written by the Viennese composer Bernhard Lang, who has been associated with KotÃk for almost twenty years.

Originally released in 2004 on the highly influential Atavistic label, Radiale is back, bringing together explosive energy, avant-jazz improvisation and experimental rock in a landmark collaboration. Featuring saxophone player Ken Vandermark, bassist Nate McBride and gifted Afro-American drummer Hamid Drake the record has a slightly more exploratory feel. Listening to Radiale feels less like following a sequence of songs and more like being drawn into a continuous sonic current. The music is driven by hypnotic, circular rhythms and abrupt dynamic shifts, moving from sparse, almost suspended moments to sudden, explosive bursts. The baritone sax often functions more as a percussive force than a melodic instrument, while the bass locks into distorted, looping figures and the drums maintain a relentless, tightly controlled intensity. With amazing cover versions of classic Afro futurist anthems -- the Sun Ra medley "We Travel The Spaceways/Space is The Place," Art Ensemble Of Chicago "Theme De Yo-Yo" and Funkadelic "You And Your Folks, Me And My Folks" -- Radiale was widely appreciated in underground circles and helped cement Zu's reputation as one of the most innovative experimental bands in Europe. More than just a collection of tracks, it stands as a cohesive and immersive work aimed at listeners willing to engage with music that challenges traditional structures and expectations. Also available on black vinyl (SSR 175LP) and purple color vinyl (SSR 175LTD-LP).

The vinyl version of this release compiles the tracks from Super Furry Animals' two earliest EPs originally released by Ankst. Holding the world record for the longest ever EP title the first EP --Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyndrobwllantysiliogogogochynygofod (In Space), was released in 1995, followed in the same year by Moog Droog, with both EPs making up the eight-song track listing of the vinyl version of Precreation Percolation. Later that year, with a record deal on the table and future classics such as God! Show Me Magic and Hangin' With Howard Marks already making up the SFA's set list, the band's path following "two years of chaos" (including a legendary 1993 debut 'gig' at Bangor University's Banana Lounge, lasting all of five minutes due to technical and chemical misadventure) was set. In the album's liner notes, singer, Gruff Rhys writes: "It would have been the best gig ever, had we not daisy chained so many synthesizers together, that it resulted in a terminal systems failure." By summer they'd joined Oasis, Primal Scream, and The Jesus and Mary Chain in the Creation Records family, leading to a huge London signing party that saw members of the band famously thrown out of. The term of intriguing genre experimentation, spanning long-form electro, blissed out instrumentals and expansive prog-influenced rock, heard across much of Precreation Percolation was subsequently refined and channeled into their thrilling, 1996 debut album, Fuzzy Logic and their untamed live performances. While consciously and frequently referring to the unheard, untold and unforeseen as a naturally nostalgia-resistant band, Super Furry Animals look ahead to reconvening with fans to celebrate their shared history.

"There's an irony inherent in the term 'postpunk.' Many of the groups that define the genre (think Pere Ubu or Cabaret Voltaire) existed for several years before punk. But these outfits had little hope of finding an audience until punk stirred up an appetite for the extreme, while also spawning a new breed of independent labels that could support challenging music. This Heat are a prime example. Formed in early 1976 by drummer Charles Hayward, guitarist Charles Bullen and 'non-musician' Gareth Williams, the group were initially unaware of what was brewing elsewhere in London, yet they were driven by similar impulses: to make noise expressive of the era's turbulence. Instead of punk's crude reduction of rock 'n' roll, This Heat took their bearings from expansive inspirations: free jazz, Captain Beefheart, musique concrète, and reggae's disorienting dub techniques. Vital to their evolution was Cold Storage, a disused meat fridge in Brixton where the band rehearsed. Produced by This Heat with David Cunningham and Anthony Moore, their 1979 debut was collaged out of cassette tapes and recordings made during ultra-cheap graveyard shifts at The Workhouse. The jump-cuts in sound quality were deliberately designed to make the album more unsettled and jarring. The first two principles of This Heat's mission statement -- 'All possible processes. All channels open.' -- could have been co-signed by many pre-punk experimentalists. It's the third part -- '24 hour alert.' -- that makes This Heat archetypally post-punk, crystallizing the 'totally-wired' mood of paranoid vigilance they shared with peers like Scritti Politti and The Pop Group. Soft power -- the mind-control of television and advertising -- was an obsession; several tracks take their titles from the gogglebox ('Testcard,' 'Horizontal Hold'). But hard power -- in particular, geopolitical dominance -- is also addressed in tracks like 'The Fall of Saigon.' Perhaps the most startling piece here is '24 Track Loop.' Breakbeat-like drums are processed using the Eventide Harmonizer, a machine famously used on Bowie's Low. The song's creaky textures and pitch-shifted beats anticipate '90s jungle, but the entire album is a controlled explosion of ideas. Nearly fifty years on, This Heat's debut is something the world has still not completely caught up with." --Simon Reynolds

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 work of BIG|BRAVE is ever-expanding. The trio's singular masterful sculpting of sonics into songcraft tucks layers of vulnerability into frenetic storms. in grief or in hope is an innovative vision of electro-acoustic sound and emotive storytelling, an endless bounty of overwhelming distortions and devastating beauty. The album marks a shift for BIG|BRAVE towards denser guitar-oriented compositions. With longtime touring bassist Liam Andrews (MY DISCO, Aicher) joining guitarist/vocalist Robin Wattie and guitarist Mathieu Ball in the studio for the first time, the pieces are keenly layered with a rich tapestry of harmonics and tonal intricacies. The trio's instinctual progressions made more vivid through live recording, harnessing the gargantuan and storied sound of their performances. Wattie writes: 'All that I could reflect on was grief and hope; death and life; cause and effect; shared experiences of being a human person.' The tenth album for the ensemble, in grief or in hope pays homage to their past while looking into their future. Standout 'the ineptitude for mutual discernment' expands on lyrical themes first explored on 2015's Au De La where 'verdure' echoes melodies from the title track of 2014's Feral Verdure. These references to their past serve as potent reflections on BIG|BRAVE's evolution as artists. A sonic whirlpool of string instruments surround Wattie's commanding vocals as she shifts from spectral undulations on pieces like 'what may be the kindest way to leave' to the direct, spare declarations of the title track. The ambiguity of mountainous chords on 'an uttering of antipathy' are coupled with autotuned phrases emphasizing the protagonists' isolation inside the fray. Together the trio shift to deliver emotional momentum that vividly describes the complex and deep feelings of struggle, pain, and transcendence. in grief or in hope transmits that sense of humanity with every gesture."

Wattie writes: 'All that I could reflect on was grief and hope; death and life; cause and effect; shared experiences of being a human person.' The tenth album for the ensemble, in grief or in hope pays homage to their past while looking into their future. Standout 'the ineptitude for mutual discernment' expands on lyrical themes first explored on 2015's Au De La where 'verdure' echoes melodies from the title track of 2014's Feral Verdure. These references to their past serve as potent reflections on BIG|BRAVE's evolution as artists. A sonic whirlpool of string instruments surround Wattie's commanding vocals as she shifts from spectral undulations on pieces like 'what may be the kindest way to leave' to the direct, spare declarations of the title track. The ambiguity of mountainous chords on 'an uttering of antipathy' are coupled with autotuned phrases emphasizing the protagonists' isolation inside the fray. Together the trio shift to deliver emotional momentum that vividly describes the complex and deep feelings of struggle, pain, and transcendence. in grief or in hope transmits that sense of humanity with every gesture."

LP version. Clear pink color vinyl. "The work of BIG|BRAVE is ever-expanding. The trio's singular masterful sculpting of sonics into songcraft tucks layers of vulnerability into frenetic storms. in grief or in hope is an innovative vision of electro-acoustic sound and emotive storytelling, an endless bounty of overwhelming distortions and devastating beauty.

"Cloud Machines is the extraordinary debut collaboration between M.C. Schmidt of legendary electronic duo Matmos and John Berndt, the Baltimore avant-garde institution and band leader behind High Zero Festival, the Red Room collective, Geodesic Gnome, and radical sonic concepts like Spectral Relay (a bespoke signal processing architecture) and Relabi (a conceptual genre defined by a Rorschach-blot pulse.) These two iconoclasts have delivered something genuinely unexpected: an oddly sweet electronic opus that's as immediately engaging as it is a series of delicious puzzles. When two of experimental music's most irascible characters spend twelve years crafting an album, you don't just get another release -- it is an anthology of pocket universes. The record is a love letter to two of their strongest mutual influences of the 1980s -- the delirious comic books of French auteur Jean Giraud (AKA Moebius) and the beautiful miniatures of the SKY Records Cluster/Eno/Conny Plank collaborations. Cloud Machines honors the spirit of those ineffably 'hermetic' creations by reinventing their legacy through the lens of decades of accumulated experimental practice and the duo's singular creative personalities. The result feels simultaneously like rediscovering a lost classic from 1978 and receiving a transmission from an alternate, somehow better timeline in 2026. Yet unlike so much 'difficult' experimental music, Cloud Machines maintains an uncanny and sneaky accessibility -- each track a self-contained world, inviting and alien in equal measure. It's not always a two-man show. On side one, 'The Analysis of Joel' refracts the prepared guitar playing of Joel Knispel into eerie shards as M.C. Schmidt counters with processed fragments of the music of Polish electroacoustic composer Bogusław Schaeffer. John Berndt takes a solo on the mysteriously poised synthesizer etude 'The Balcony.' Side two features the largest ensemble piece, 'Gecko Lazzaro' a slow-burning sinuous bassline groove featuring the trombone playing of Baltimore improviser Patrick Crossland and a suitably fried guitar solo from Owen Gardner (lead guitarist of Berlin-by-way-of-Baltimore out rockers Horse Lords). Like a kaleidoscope turning slowly towards and away from different light sources, genres and traditions seem to emerge from the haze and pull into focus and then melt away again, but never constrain the constant sense of exploratory forward movement."
"For three decades now Daniel and Schmidt have found gaps where experimental approaches and sources can leak into music that could be played in a club or on the radio, showing that stretching the Overton window of musical sounds doesn't have to be restricted to rarefied settings." -The Quietus
"One can't help but be in awe of the production mastery on display and the confidence with which Matmos have turned a man's creative remains into a freshly expressive musical instrument." - The Wire

The third in an ongoing series of collected international audio diaries; the premise is quite simple: the two meet at a mutually agreed upon destination along with the facilitation of something to record audio of these experiences on. The intent is to capture and augment these sonic documentaries of their travels which then are sculpted into soundtracks. This is done by sourcing the culture, environment, persons or events that make their voices available. The result might be pleasantly kind and floating or unpleasantly rough and jarring unveiling a light or dark world. In February 2024, CM von Hausswolff and Chandra Shukla met in Chaing Mai, Thailand over the course of nine days. Recordings were made at 31st Century Museum of Contemporary Spirit, Wat Umong (Suan Buddha Dhamma), Wat Phra Singh, Wat Phra That Dot Suthep, Loi Kroh Boxing Stadium, Wat Chedi Luang, Mae Wang Mae Win, Was Pha Lat, Wat Phra That Dot Kham, Wat Rong Khun Chaing Rai, Rong Suea Ten Temple Chiang Rai Ancient City, House of Opium Museum Chiang Saen, The Mekong at The Golden Triangle Chiang Saen, and One Budget Hotel Chiang Saen. von Hausswolff and Shukla rounding off another whirlwind nine days in Southeast Asia in the unusual setting of the Lanna Kingdom (Kingdom of a million rice fields) of Northern Thailand. A multifaceted location where Thailand shares borders with Myanmar, Laos and China in what is known as The Golden Triangle, a commercial trade zone between the nations. This frontier region is home to hill tribes, countless Buddhist monasteries, stupas, The Mekong River, mountains and forests. All of which can be heard on this recording. Always finding themselves in the most untypical of off the beaten tourist destinations and settings, CM von Hausswolff and Chandra Shukla use the Northern Thai backdrop for more sonic tapestries and meditational sound weaving. Perhaps not always in the calming of ways but more often in the midst of noise laden cacophony.

Quartier Celeste is a unique project in today's landscape: here's Premier Voyage, an album that goes beyond music to offer a complete universe, almost an autonomous mythology, which unfolds through music, lyrics, videos, and a collection of visual artifacts. It all began with a revelation: the discovery of NASA's sound archives, recordings collected during space missions to the outer reaches of the solar system. What can be heard as humans approach the Sun? What sound does a black hole produce when its electromagnetic activity is translated into audible frequencies? What does Jupiter's fifth moon whisper through the instruments of a probe? Fascinated by this material and the strange musicality it exudes, Franck Boilard and Michel Kowalski, the two members of Quartier Celeste, decided to make it the raw material for their work. Each piece in Premier Voyage is based on data collected during space exploration missions. Some come from plasma waves or electromagnetic variations captured by probes, which researchers then converted into the audible range. Others are recordings of radio frequencies emitted by planets or stars, which scientists have "retuned" to make them audible to the human ear. Whistles, crackles, stellar howls: these are the ghostly presences that haunt each of the tracks. An unlikely hybridization of rarely associated references, the duo creates a dark and magnetic ambient sound, infused with noise textures, cold-wave reminiscences, and industrial flashes. The overall impression is that of an abandoned ship gliding through outer space. From track to track, listeners drift through an immense space -- sometimes calm, almost meditative, sometimes shaken by cosmic storms. The infinitely large rubs shoulders with the infinitely intimate: the fragile, close voice offers a human counterpoint to these titanic forces. The whole is mystical, contemplative, punctuated by bursts of noise, areas of shadow, and flashes of light amid vast areas of darkness.

Originally released in 2014 on cassette and digital only, Till Human Voices Wake Us was the first album by the Iranian artist on Umor Rex. It became a key work in the label's catalog, and now it is available on vinyl for the first time. Till Human Voices Wake Us comprises ten tracks with a clear and carefully structured script, based on poems by T.S. Eliot, highlighting Siavash Amini's work as a composer for theater, film, and art exhibitions. His music deliberately leans toward ambient expressions, at times recalling Morricone's Western film scores. The interplay between synthetic and digital elements, together with multilayered, soul-healing electric guitar passages, creates an opulent sonic texture that moves between dramatic and melancholic moments with a finely constructed, fluid dynamism. There is an emotional depth in each piece, guided by tonal variations and shifting textures that turn the music into a mental journey, with landscapes, a sense of cold resolution, and the quiet inevitability of an ending. Till Human Voices Wake Us was Amini's first album on a non-Iranian label. Following this release, he has also published work, in addition to Umor Rex, on labels such as Room40, Hallow Ground, and Opal Tapes, among others, and is now considered one of the most prominent figures in Iran's experimental music scene. All music by Siavash Amini. Original master by Nicholas Szczepanik. Remastered for vinyl by Rafael Anton Irisarri. Artwork by Daniel Castrejón.

Soogie (1969) was Willie RodrÃguez's first album for Mary Lou Records. Mary Lou Records, at that time, was also one of the labels in the right place at the right time, just before Fania smashed almost all the competition. The album is mostly comprised of guaguancós, boleros, and improvised-space-filling descargas (jam sessions). This is remarkable, as it hardly includes boogaloo, which was still prevalent during those years, yet already on the way out. According to Bobby MarÃn, its musical director said, "we didn't call it salsa at the time; it had no name. It was mambo or música movida, they used to call it on the radio." The first tune, "My Dog Soogie"' which provides the title for the recording, is a playful guaracha about a dog. The following track is the wildly popular "La Puerta del Dolor." "El Chivo" (the goat) is a spicy guaracha, which changes into a son montuno-guajira. "Grande" is a guaguancó, followed by "Los Callos de Dolores," also a delightful guaguancó. Then comes the ballad "Porque yo te Amo," a monster hit of the sixties by popular Argentine singer Sandro. Next, there is "Al Compás del Güiro," a guaguancó, with the delicious chorus that goes "cómo va, cómo va, cómo va, mi güiro cómo va." "Paul's Thing" is an instrumental guaguancó, with engrossing sax solos. Finally, the smashing, extended descarga "Salsa con Willie RodrÃguez." A reissue of a rare and in-demand 1969 salsa gem after decades unavailable! Includes an insert with liner notes.

Manongo Mujica (drums, percussion), Jean Pierre Magnet (tenor saxophone), Julio "Chocolate" Algendones (percussion), and Enrique Luna (electric bass) founded Perujazz in 1984. All four already had embarked on diverse musical ventures when they formed the band. Mujica had played as a jazz drummer and also with the psychedelic rock group Los Mad's and then as an experimental music percussionist. Jean Pierre had been a multi-instrumentalist in Traffic Sound and saxophonist in several jazz ensembles. "Chocolate" had been part of the Afro-Peruvian ensemble Perú Negro and was one of Chabuca Granda's percussionists of choice. His meeting with Manongo Mujica in 1981 was the beginning of series of collaborations, blending African influences and avant-garde jazz percussion. Meanwhile, in Chile, Enrique Luna had been a member of several fusion ensembles and, together with Manongo, set up the improvisation band Solos at the end of the '70s. They were part of the new musical scene in Lima, strongly influenced by the cultural climate of the 70s, by Chabuca Granda and his innovations in criollismo, as well as by neofolk and nueva canción, all under the nationalist politics of the government of General Juan Velasco Alvarado. The '80s ushered in a period of democratic transition and during the early years of the decade a new generation of fusion artists thrived. Perujazz managed to hold its ground and soon led the way in the avant-garde jazz scene. Inspired by jazz fusion from the '70s, they mixed cajón drums and Afro-Peruvian, Andean and jungle sounds with jazz, rock and funk in a powerful blend full of groove and psychedelia. During an early tour in Europe, they recorded in Italy an LP entitled Verde Machu Picchu, it was released in 1987 though it wasn't widely distributed. In those years, Perujazz would journey far and wide, becoming one of the most original Peruvian ensembles and also one of the most international in scope. Since then their line-up has gone through multiple changes and today the band members are Manongo Mujica, Jean Pierre Magnet, Andrés Prado, Pudy Ballumbrosio, and Julio Zavala. En Vivo 2023 Gira Europea portraits the essence of their 2023 European tour. Music, sweat, and elation flowed as the band gave their all, transmitting their energy with every note. Those of us who can hear hints of huayno, tondero, or festejo in their playing are moved by these echoes.

Andrés Landero embodies like no other the spirit that made it possible to bring cumbia to the world. His legacy represents a creative pinnacle of tropical music and has influenced countless artists. In 1965, he joined the line-up of artists on Discos Fuentes' payroll. After some years releasing music on different labels, Landero returned to Discos Fuentes in 1979 with the album Bailando Cumbia. The two cumbias included on this 45 have been taken from this rare and never-reissued LP. They became popular rebajadas (slowed down cumbias) in the Mexican sonidero scene and have not been previously available on 45. Reissued for the first time.

L'École de la nuit marks Versatile Records' 30th anniversary with a musical découpage by label founder Gilb'R. The album's 12 songs and numerous collaborations form an adroit exploration of life and music, all threaded together by lifelong "partner in crime" I:Cube's signature mixdowns. "Hà mar" represents the peak of the album's organic spectrum -- an instantly captivating melodic and percussive Brazilian song featuring Alvaro Lancellotti on guitar and vocals -- while "White Light" serves as its electronic counterpart, with a classic pop feel, featuring Swedish singer Monica Tormell. Musically, L'École de la nuit moves across many different landscapes and languages, intersecting rock, shoegaze, ambient, electronica, and, of course, jazz. Gilb'R collaborates with a rich arsenal of guest musicians: saxophonist Quentin Rollet; guitarist and producer Maxime Delpierre; French artist Judah Warsky, with whom Gilb'R previously released an album; Jonny Nash, producer and guitarist; as well as Ben Shemie. Not least, father and son Julio and Julinho Pimentel contribute their distinctive percussion, alongside François Creamer on bass clarinet. L'École de la nuit is the 50th album release on Versatile Records. It was initiated in Amsterdam, then entirely reimagined and rebuilt in Paris. It stands as a manifesto for the album format and a tribute to the listener.

This is a record of noted pedigree. Nottingham is one of the homes to god-tier hardcore punk. The scene there has evolved, revolved, mutated, and grown over the decades. It's DIY venues and recording studios are now of legend. The catalogue number of WSR084 is no coincidence. As with Crass and their "counting down to 1984" aesthetic, this is anarcho-hardcore railing hard against the times. If you're not currently furious you're asleep and Blind Eye are spitting anger. Taking inspiration from The Comes, Jerrys Kids, Aus-Rotten and Chaos UK, this album is a concise call to arms. Perfectly captured over a weekend towards the end of 2025 by Boulty at Stuck On A Name Studios, Mistrust Your Nation sees mid-tempo stompers mix with breakneck ragers, all pressed at 45rpm and sounding as hefty as the band playing in your front room. Anmarie Spaziano's vocal is at once melodic and raging, giving new definition to "pissed off." Steve Charlesworth's drums are second to none, they've never been equaled in over 40 years of doing this. Andrew Morgan's guitar on this record is wild: shredding equal parts cosmic noise and zzbrutally-tight riffing whilst Matt Grundy's bass anchors the chaos, pushing every second onwards.

Originally self-released in 2023, Stella Kola, the debut album from Beverly Ketch (Jow Jow, Weeping Bong Band) and Robert Thomas (Sunburned Hand of the Man, Dalthom), now returns in a renewed edition -- bringing wider attention to a record that already felt like a quietly essential artifact from the moment it first appeared. Given the pair's respective roots -- and the presence of collaborators drawn from across the Northeast experimental underground -- one might expect "a brutal blast of acid swirl." Instead, what emerges is something far more unexpected. The album is "steeped, not in noise and dissonance, but in the fragrant, captivating folk of Linda Perhacs, Judee Sill, Karen Dalton, and Bridget St John." From the opening moments the record reveals its core sensibility: "a ballad that digs deep into the psychedelic-folk tradition until it takes root in a freshly sporous permaculture." What follows is a set of songs that feel both carefully assembled and organically grown -- delicate structures held together by a wide circle of contributing musicians, including Wednesday Knudsen (flute), P.G. Six (harp, guitars, keys), Gary War (synth), Jen Gellineau (viola, violin), Willie Lane, L. Gray, and others. Rather than functioning as studio additions, these collaborators form a genuine collective presence. Like many of the '60s folk records it echoes, Stella Kola carries "the feeling of community and camaraderie" at its core, shaping a warmth that runs through the entire release. The album's emotional palette leans toward a quiet, persistent melancholy. Its sound edges into the terrain of Fairport Convention and Pentangle, with references to "Beggar's, Kings, Dark Damsels, and Tarot," yet never settles into revivalism. Instead, Ketch and Thomas extend the tradition outward, refracting it through their own distinctly American, underground language. Even among a prolific and unpredictable network of underground musicians, Stella Kola stands apart. With its return in reissue form, the album reasserts itself not just as a hidden gem, but as an essential document of contemporary folk experimentation -- an intimate, collective work that continues to unfold with time.

Tum Tum Tum is the eighth album from London-based Brazilian artist Marcelo Frota aka MOMO., featuring guest appearances from Brazilian bossa nova legend Marcos Valle and Smoke City's Nina Miranda as well as UK jazz trombonist Rosie Turton and his tight-knit band, all recorded in South London. This is a free-flowing, warm, expansive and fully assured album, and exudes a playfulness and a sense of someone who is truly in their element and at peace when writing and recording. Recorded in South London, the album captures a band deeply attuned to one another. Drummer Thomas Broda and percussionist Jim Le Mesurier play together in the same room, shaping a physical pulse that runs through the record. Long-standing collaborators Regis Damasceno on bass and Caetano Malta on guitar bring depth and precision, while UK jazz trombonist Rosie Turton adds expressive lift throughout. The arrangements remain open and responsive, with space, feel, and attention guiding each track forward rather than click tracks or studio polish. Lead track "Egum Eô" is a wonderfully Afro-Brazilian opening and sets the scene perfectly with MOMO.'s vocal sounding much like the album's title Tum Tum Tum, pushing the positivity sky-high in unison with a gorgeous horn hook. The broken groove slowly rolls in like a curling surf-perfect wave before the band all join the jam, leaving the listener joyfully entranced. Guest appearances from Brazilian MPB legend Marcos Valle and Smoke City's Nina Miranda speak to a body of work shaped through enduring artistic relationships. MOMO.'s connection with Valle goes back several years, to his time with former band Fino Coletivo and a live recording in Rio de Janeiro. With Nina Miranda, a London-based friendship and creative partnership that grew over years of performance together finds its recorded form in "Canto de Aldeia," a track that, in MOMO.'s words, "celebrates our friendship.". Miranda sings in English in an almost Jacqui McShee style, evoking real nostalgia against the band's steady rhythm and dreamy strings. Tum Tum Tum feels assured and alive, music shaped by travel, time and accumulated experience. It carries the confidence of an artist who understands that continuity is its own form of strength. Twenty years and eight albums in, MOMO. continues forward with clarity and intent.

Earth-o-Naut is a songwriter, drummer, musician and producer. He was born in Liverpool and raised in one of its satellite towns, Skelmersdale. He was raised by his mum and uncles on music from every genre, falling in love, amazement and awe with the groove and the craft of songwriting. Nothing has changed to this day. Songwriting has also always been a constant. That quest to create something original and use the songwriting process as some form of catharsis. Learning guitar and piano was the next logical step, to help with the creation of new ideas into new songs. A lot of time was spent playing drumming gigs and then taking his own songs on the road, solo with just an acoustic guitar, learning the ropes and serving his apprenticeship. Great songwriters The Beatles, Curtis Mayfield, Bill Withers, Neil Finn, and many others inspire Earth-o-Naut to this day. Earth-o-naut has worked hard for many years on his studio chops and is the writer, arranger, recording engineer, mix engineer and producer on all of his own material, and he also works with other artists as a producer. Earth-o-Naut's debut album, This Is Nowhere. This Is Everywhere. is presented on Agogo Records. The debut album features UK drumming legend, Steve White, and also the vocals of Amalia Estradas and Suzanne Maddock.

She collected experiences. She built the sound. "I know to take 14 years to make an album seems crazy," she says, "but without living those experiences, how could I have made the music about them?" The result is a diverse, adrenaline-fueled body of work that hits hard and moves deep.

Staffan Lindberg's Revéillon EP links Rio baile funk, São Paulo club mutations and Stockholm electronic craft. Made with Brazilian MCs Maromba and G7, it grew from Instagram DMs, nights at Pedra do Sal, Copacabana on New Year's Eve and a shared taste for whisky, Red Bull and pick-and-mix.

"Acid King is stoner doom royalty, and Beyond Vision is their first new album since 2015's Middle Of Nowhere, Center of Everywhere. Recorded by longtime producer Billy Anderson, the album's songs flow into each other without beginning or ending, propelled by an undulating, lysergic pulse that traces the winding path of interplanetary existence and takes listeners wherever they'd like to go. With blistering guitars and swirling power dirges aplenty, Beyond Vision began as an experiment and became the path to a silver future, marking the dawn of a new era for the band who built the template for thundering, swinging doom."

Best known as one half of Kiasmos alongside Ólafur Arnalds, the Faroe Islands born, Reykjavik based producer Janus Rasmussen has consistently refined an elegant sound that marries sonic precision with emotional depth. Over the past decade, he has built a wide-ranging body of work through collaborations across multiple genres as a producer, songwriter, musician, and mix engineer. As a solo artist, Janus has crafted compositions that balance immersive sound design, subtle melodic shifts and rhythmic drive, drawing on his diverse musical appreciation and studio experimentation. These experiences have shaped a creative identity that now comes into sharp focus on his most ambitious solo project to date -- Inert. The album marks a bold step forward, thematically exploring the act of breaking free from inertia through embracing creative freedom. With his new work, Janus incorporates his own vocals more than ever, weaving them seamlessly around intricate electronics as he expands his sound into new territory, while retaining the subtle restraint that has defined his output. Drawing inspiration from the dance music spectrum, Inert reflects a renewed sense of momentum, vulnerability and adventurousness in his sound.

Dewa Alit, master of radical Balinese gamelan, returns to Black Truffle with Baur Bentur. Genetic introduced international listeners to the magical sound-world of Alit's Gamelan Salukat, who perform on instruments tuned to a unique scale derived from modified versions of two traditional Balinese scales. The two pieces heard on Chasing the Phantom further demonstrated his radical fusion of tradition and experimentation, with passages where unorthodox techniques make the acoustic ensemble resemble glitching electronics. Baur Bentur now highlights another aspect of Alit's work, presenting pieces composed in 2024 and 2025 where Gamelan Salukat performs alongside virtuoso pianist Sri Hanuraga. Alit's music is grounded in deep reflection on the tradition of Balinese gamelan and its place in the contemporary world. His title, "Baur Bentur," which translates as "mixing and smashing," points to his embrace of the intercultural mixture of Eastern and Western elements in the search for innovation. Against the calcification of Balinese music into tourist entertainment, Alit poses his searching, experimental work, which celebrates the communal values and performance practices of traditional gamelan while pushing into startling new directions. "Sukat Tacara" is a study in layered tempos, meters, and polyrhythms, a constantly shifting dialogue between piano and the instruments of Gamelan Salukat. It begins close to a traditional concerto, pairing a brisk sequence of melodic variations from the piano with a spare but propulsive accompaniment of drums and hanging metallophone tones, punctuated by low gong strikes. The piece dazzles with its inventive rhythms and dynamics, building to a stunning passage featuring the signature heavy muting technique of the Gamelan Salukat metallophones in kinetic patterns that would be at home on a PrÃncipe release. The title piece begins at high intensity and rarely lets up, working through bracing unison ensemble melodies and punctuation points where piano and gamelan together seem to become a single, thudding drum. For much of the piece the piano is tightly integrated into the ensemble, the harmonic extensions of the melodic line subsumed into a moving cloud of complex overtones generated by the gamelan instruments. Wildly kinetic on the rhythmic level, the piece swarms with microscopic movements of beating patterns generated by the "blend and crush" of three simultaneous tuning systems: the equal temperament of the piano and the saih cenik (small scale) and saih gede (big scale) used by the gamelan instruments. Accompanied by the composer's thoughtful liner notes and images of the musicians, Baur Bentur is a stunning next step in Alit's radical combination of tradition and innovation.

Were you to tap the lifeblood of Chicago music, you would find Josh Berman flowing liberally through its veins. Active on the scene for more than a quarter century, the cornetist, bandleader, and composer has helped retain the unique flavor of the city's soundscape, with particular attention to the music of its jazz past -- groups like the Austin High Gang and the Oliver-Armstrong lineage and Freddie Keppard, as well as more recent figures from Lester Bowie to Wadada Leo Smith. But Berman is more inter-stylistic synthesist than moldy fig, a fact nowhere better demonstrated than in his powerhouse trio. On Everybody Else's Life, Too, the group's second record, Berman has found the perfect percussionist for his compact-yet-expansive compositions. Chris Corsano, who plays in a staggering array of contexts from voluble free jazz to timbral sonic experiments, is in turn ideally complemented by Jason Roebke's bass playing, which is equally adept in all areas melodic, swingful, and textural alike. A sharp studio recording captures the rapport and playfulness, as well as the adventure, inherent in the threesome's dynamic interaction.

This album, recorded in 1988 at Elkar Studios in Lasarte, is a happy accident, like much of La Polla Records' early output, by Jean Phocas (who also worked with other bands of the genre such as Cicatriz) and César Ibarretxe. It was lovingly designed, with a medieval atmosphere for the cover (by Txefo, Joseba Olalde and Txarly) featuring a huge scroll containing five tarot cards, a back cover in the same style with heraldic figures, and a meticulous presentation of the lyrics with separate spellings for each song, on a double sheet with photos of piglets suckling from their mother on one side and various images on the other. With animals as the common thread for the songs, it represents the confirmation that the concept album had arrived on the national punk scene. Perhaps a work of maturity, the band's traditional objectives disappear from the lyrics, and although there is still room for specific protests and chronicles of nights of alcohol and violence (such as those of La Rata), the emphasis is on reveling in the description of all kinds of personal, psychotic and hallucinatory hells. Evaristo confessed to being influenced by Umberto Eco's book The Name of the Rose (1980) in the making of this work. Far from indicating any departure from the foundations laid in previous works, it shows that the spectrum of the anti-establishment struggle the group was committed to was broad. A very complete album.

According to the court ruling in the lawsuit brought against the band, allegedly by a former technician, this album should have been released under a different name for the group. Perhaps as a provocative nod, the individual who appears on the cover wearing a nut as an oppressive turban is struck on the back cover by the hammers of Justice and the Law. However, the group ignores this and continues to sign as it has been doing since 1983. The musical arrangements are more powerful, with the guitars taking precedence over the rest much more than before. The drums are also more present. The soundscape takes center stage, even over the lyrics. The opening track, "Monopoly," is representative of this, with its fast-paced rhythm provided by galloping guitars. Originally released in 1994, it is surprising how, almost ten years after their debut, La Polla Records were still capable of making albums of such intensity.

Continuing its faithful documentation of the early years of Monolake, Field Records present the first-ever vinyl pressing of seminal 1999 album Interstate. In a kaleidoscopic lattice of micro-rhythms and exquisitely dynamic textural work, Robert Henke and Gerhard Behles fully collaborated for the final time on this record -- and created an electronica landmark in the process. Monolake's evolution from their earlier dub-techno-tinted works saw their exploration of Max/MSP go further out. The duo yielded greater complexity in the behavior of their sound palette to achieve an organismic quality that remains an enduring influence on so many strands of experimental electronic music today. Interstate is a vivid record that builds up eight different ecosystems of sound and subtly threads elegant grooves through their root structures. There's a house-like undulation to the low-end driving "Tangent-I" and "Tangent-II," but the infinitesimally detailed layers of sound on top swoon from techno synth shimmers to trickling waters, snaking delay trails and pin prick percussion. You can hear the unmistakable, snappy rhythmic thrust of drum and bass driving "Ginza," but here it's used as an engine for the crispest array of designer percussion and dub-soaked synth chirrups. Across every track, Henke and Behles demonstrate a potent combination, both groovily instinctive and eternally fascinating to try and pick apart. After Interstate, Behles departed to focus entirely on the development of Ableton Live and Henke steered Monolake towards a leaner -- but no less pioneering -- sound. Every Monolake record has its own unique context and sound, and the circumstances of Interstate could never be repeated. Capturing the leaps in progress that were being made in digital music production at the end of the millennium, it's an information-rich document of a moment in time that still sounds wildly futuristic 27 years later.

The Mantecas represent one of the finest concentrations of experience and talent in Latin and jazz music ever to be based in the UK. A pure uplifting Latin jazz music celebration. Limited edition 250 copies: not-to-be-missed! Recorded at different locations in London during 2025/26. On their fabulous fourth album, The Mantecas (formerly Manteca) have moved the needle all the way in the direction of Latin jazz (or jazz latino). In their early years, the London-based eight-piece played a mix of salsa, Cuban timba, boogaloo, Latin funk and descarga (jazzy, improvised Latin jam session), with plenty of vocals, strictly geared for the dance floor. Along the way, the jazz-descarga aspect emerged as a stronger force, though all sorts of other ingredients, from afrobeat to Afro-Cuban, cumbia to samba, ebbed and flowed throughout. Although there's nothing new with the concept of doing an album of instrumental Latin tracks in a jazz mode that's still dance-friendly (Machito, Sabú MartÃnez, Tito Puente, and Tito RodrÃguez all waxed jazz latino albums like that long ago), what's new here is The Mantecas' very fresh and confident interpretation of the idiom. And while they share something in common with the accessible, danceable Latinized soul jazz of someone like Mongo SantamarÃa or Willie Bobo, as well as the Afro-Cubop roots of Chano Pozo, they also bring to mind the more jazz-oriented improvisational legacy of Pozo's amigo Dizzy Gillespie, which is reflected in The Mantecas' explorations of a handful of 20th Century modern jazz giants as they rework timeless classics by John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Oliver Nelson, and Wayne Shorter. For this release, all seven tracks are essentially Latin renditions of jazz standards or are Latin jazz originals. There's a mix of jazz and Latin rhythmic structures, instrumentation, arranging, and sensibilities at play, and it's a very natural sounding mélange. Like their previous albums, some of the tunes feature a club-ready blend of hot and cool, in a Latinized British acid jazz/soul jazz way.

Etude IV: points-lines-landscapes (1979). This work is designed as an all-electronic piece without considering any configuration with soloist parts for later use (unlike the two following pieces featured on this CD). It was realized by Jean-Claude Eloy in 1979 on the CEMAMu's UPIC upon Iannis Xenakis's invitation to whom this work is dedicated as a friend. The UPIC (Unité Polyagogique Informatique du CEMAMu) is an electronic tool invented by Iannis Xenakis in the 1970s. It is a graphic interface designed to create sound and compose music, whose first version featured a big drawing board (a sort of architect desk) equipped with a ballpoint electromagnetic pencil, surrounded by a computer (mini-computer solar 16/55 ESMS -- memory of 32 K) and a monitor. All kinds of forms could thus be drawn with the electronic pencil based on time parameters (moving from left to right) and frequency spaces (from bottom to top, from the lowest to the highest register). Before each drawing (or for every line or "arch" -- from an architectural point of view) the appropriate banks would be successively selected with the electromagnetic pencil: a waveform bank, an envelope bank, which could also be drawn and stored in advance. Piling up such arches you could obtained more or less complex drawings filling a "page" that could be calculated by the computer upon completion. Today, such operations are widely used by every computer (including consumer computer) whiz. However, in 1979 (when this work was produced) such opportunities were unique. Of a Forgotten Star (1986), electro-acoustic part alone from Sappho hiketis. Originally, this work was part of Anâhata but did not end up in its final production. It was later used as a supporting structure for the Sappho hiketis piece with the solo vocal parts especially written for Fatima Miranda and Yumi Nara. During the electro-acoustic production of Anâhata this mixing was entitled Indian-Plates. The basic material is exclusively made of prerecorded sounds from metal percussion instruments. The Great Wave (1991) (a tribute to Hokusai), electro-acoustic part alone from "She" (from the Gaia-Songs cycle). This work was originally realized to fit into Erkos but was not used in the final production. It was later integrated into the Gaia-Songs cycle for the fourth piece. This work was completed in 1990-91 at the WDR (Westdeutscher Rundfunk) Electronic Studio of Cologne.

CD with 60-page booklet with photos and texts in French and English. Kâmakalâ. The Energy Triangle (1971). For three orchestra ensembles, five chorus ensembles, with three conductors. Orchestra and chorus of the WDR, Schola Cantorum, Stuttgart. Conductors: Michel Tabachnik, Bernhard Kontarsky, Jacques Mercier. "Kâmakalâ" -- a Sankrit term meaning energy triangle -- refers to India's philosophy (Tantric Shivaïsm) and is expresses here as the appearance of energy, which is the erotic and cosmic energy (Kama), that which helps Shiva uniting with his Shakti (feminine energy), create every self-subdivision (Kalâ), hence gradually generating the whole complexity of the universe. It is that idea of a vast and slow crescendo of the various parameters of a musical score, of an infinite division and infinite multiplication of the material contained in it that appealed to Eloy. As a result, music pieces were almost inevitably bound to be brief, unable to sustain time as it would distribute the entire sound energy from the very first minutes. Étude III (1962) for orchestra, with piano and five percussionists. Orchestra of the SWF, Baden-Baden. Conductor: Ernest Bour. Etude III, which was composed in May and June of 1962 in Zurich and Paris, uses the configuration of a traditional orchestra (wood and brass instruments by pair) opposite to an ensemble of five percussionists, piano, harp and celesta. A dialectic stands out of this opposition as it is emphasized through the writing and conducting (measured for the orchestral mass, a-measured and cued for the entire ensemble on the foreground). The instruments, which form cohesive timber families, come in according to an irregular pattern as the piece develops, with the entire configuration not coming into play until the last developments. Fluctuante -- Immuable (1977) for full orchestra. New Philharmonic Orchestra from Radio-France. Conductor: Gilbert Amy. Fluctuante-Immuable, which was composed in 1977 as Gaku-no-Michi was produced in the Nippon Hoso Kyokai (NHK) electronic studio in Tokyo, is the result of a commission by the Secretariat of Cultural Affairs made for the Orchestre de Paris, which premiered it in May 1977. This work clearly shows the influence and the alterations that electro-acoustic practices infer on orchestral writing practices. Besides Eloy's long electro-acoustic productions, Fluctuante-Immuable suggested a new (theoretical and practical) way of addressing issues related to "composing with notes".

Butsumyôe (1989). For voices, percussions and electroacoustic. With Yumi Nara and Fatima Miranda, voice and percussions. In Butsumyôe ("The ceremony of Repentance") the singer Yumi Nara (soprano) occupies the function of a first solo voice, whereas Fatima Miranda (vocalist) assures the function of the second accompanying voice. In Sappho hiketis, it is the opposite: Fatima Miranda occupies the function of the first solo voice, and Yumi Nara assures the function of the second accompanying voice. But in practice, the vocal activities are mixed, creating an actual creative vocal duet. These two works are freely conceived and of pure imagination, which lean on not any pre-existent "model". Butsumyôe is a long monologue for voice that sings, speaks, shouts, and is modulated with a host of techniques, punctuated by the exclamations of the accompanying voice and by various percussion instruments played by the two female singers. Sappho hiketis (1989). For voice, percussions and electroacoustic. With Yumi Nara and Fatima Miranda, voice. A vocal duet articulated from an electro-acoustic piece (realized during the production of Anâhata at the Electronic Studio of the Sweelinck Conservatory in Amsterdam). The basic material is composed of pre-recorded metallic percussion instruments (samplings realized in 1984 by Michael W. Ranta). Prosody and vocal technique: unlike the previous piece, the text is used in a very broken up mode, with somewhat scattered phonemes, also integrating a listing of the names of Sappho's most famous female lovers. The adaptation of the text (in modern Greek) is totally free and makes no reference to the metrics or musical modes allegedly used by Sappho.

Songs for the other half of the sky. With Erkos (1990-91) and Galaxies (1986-1996). Performed by Junko Ueda (satsuma biwa and voice) and Jean-Claude Eloy (sound projection). "Erkos" is a word from the Indo-European language and means song, praise. It is close to the Sanskrit word Arkas (hymn, chant, radiance) and to the Tokharien term Yarke (reverence, homage). The texts consist of extracts from the Devî-Upanishad and Devî-Mâhâtmya writings, in Sanskrit. In those texts, an homage is paid to the Goddess who, in Indian philosophy, is considered as the mother of all energies. Erkos was commissioned by the Cologne Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR), at the invitation of Karlheinz Stockhausen, in collaboration with the Institut Français de Cologne and was produced in its entirety in 1990-91 at the WDR Electronic Studio. The electroacoustic materials are essentially concrete in nature and have been drawn from three sources Junko Ueda's voice, Satsuma Biwa (plucked string instrument with plectrum), Unban (metallic plate with complex resonance). Consequently, the recording studio is not used here as a generator but as a "multiplier-transformer" to the soloist, who is the real origin of all sounds. Galaxies is an electroacoustic work composed of two large groups of elements, contrasting with each other in function, construction, etc. but still unified as they are born from the same sources of timbre and treatment: the Japanese Shô (traditionnal mouth organ) from which all of the work's sound material is taken, to which are added an ensemble of five Bonshô's (temple bells from Japan and Korea).

Originally released in 2008 on Ezekiel Honig's own Anticipate Recordings, Surfaces of a Broken Marching Band finds the artist refining a compositional language rooted in the methodologies of musique concrete, ambient, and beat research. Working from a palette of environmental recordings, instrumental fragments, and soft electronic treatments, Honig pushes the source material into an array of sympathetic forms ranging from pillow-soft, lowercase ambient to diffuse downtempo and minimal house. For its reissue on Keplar, the album has been remastered by Kassian Troyer (D&M), bringing a new clarity to its intricate, low-lit architectures. Throughout the record, serving almost as audiographic guideposts, are faint but insistent gestures toward propulsion, an abiding and recurrent 4/4 pulse that guides the music laterally and instantiates a slow negotiation between its various elements. This music invites close listening precisely by not revealing itself all at once, allowing small collisions of timbre and subtle shifts in emphasis to carry the weight. The traces of lived environments that remain embedded in the mix -- distant crowds, sounds of transit, the indistinct acoustics of interiors in flux -- expand the frame without breaking its intimacy, creating a potent dislocation between the nearness of the sound and the scale of its sources. Rather than foregrounding any single voice, this is music that distributes attention equally across its materials, allowing background details to assert their presence as much as melody or rhythm. Honig presents listeners with an astute practice that's concerned less with building from the ground up than with uncovering what happens when disparate textures and structures are brought into close contact with one another.

Peerless man-machine outfit Goat(JP) return with a brittle contemporary dance soundtrack that locks into the pointillist rhythmic micro-precision of the now classic Joy In Fear. Directing an IRL physical performance, the band totter between rhythmelodic, ritualistic minimalism and intricate, pneumatic beat music -- if you need a link between Daniel Schmidt, Autechre, On The Corner-era Miles and Midori Takada, this is it. The six parts to "Without References" perfectly highlight the synchronicity between Goat's remarkably precise acoustic practice and the physical movements coordinated by Cindy Van Acker, a choreographer renowned for her meticulous stage direction and work with Mika Vainio. In their shifts from tendon-tweak tension to lissom melodic fluidity, Goat prove the ideal foil and spurs for Van Acker's rigorously demanding performances, laying down super crisp commands and rhythmic geometries that manifest a ludi ideal of "dancing to architecture." The extended performance technique and recording nous of Koshiro Hino (guitar, percussion), coupled with Atsumi Tagami (bass, percussion), Takafumi Okada (drums, percussion) and rendered by the deft spatialization of Bunsho Nishikawa's mixdown -- all faithfully suspended in Rashad Becker's mastering -- come to mirror the way computerized grids and lines on paper manifest in physical space with a rare clarity and concision that makes for an utterly enveloping listen. Following from 2023's celebrated missive Joy In Fear, they apply the same sort of daring ingenuity to lip-bitingly tight rounds of tendon-strum no wave/post-rock in "Quest" and the machine line emulation of "Factory," craftily contrasting with the more genteel, resonant descriptions of bodies, or minds, floating in space within the tuned percussive cadence of "G-H-S," before braiding those ideas on hypnotic linearity and harmony in the 10 minutes of chiming, pendulous piquancy to "Orin," and radiant release of splashing cymbals and muted low end explored across "CR." Few other bands possess the focused, visionary insight and remarkable technicality of Goat in the modern world, and even fewer manage to make minimal music so compelling, as found on this peerless work that so deftly converges styles and patterns.

R&B outsider Zsela joins forces with Daniel Aged and film composer Taul Katz on 4 Dreams, a billowing ambient-neoclassical hallucination that'll tickle fans of Mary Lattimore, Malibu, Nala Sinephro, and Gigi Masin. If you only know Zsela thanks to her dramatic 2024 debut album Big For You, the mostly beatless, fully reflective 4 Dreams might come as a surprise. But look a little further back in her catalogue and things will fall into place; remember "Angels Pharmacy" and "Remembrance" from Actress's Karma & Desire? That was Zsela on vocals, so she's got priors. 4 Dreams started life as the soundtrack to Seven Heavenly Senses, an art exhibition at Paris's Hôtel de la Marine, but has since taken on a life of its own. Zsela's breaths are stretched and sculpted into warm, washing biomechanical pads on the opening dream, left to weather tinny arpeggiated FM synths and muggy bass drones. So far, so predictable. But Zsela muddles proceedings with her confident delivery, layering her voice into jazzy, R&B inflected key changes that keep you guessing. Imagine an astral plane answer to Dawn Richard's ambient-inflected pop and you'll have some idea of where this is headed. Then "Dream 2" takes an unexpected diversion, the vocals replaced by swirling harp flourishes and the kind of floating synth stabs that draw a core logic from classic ambient -- Harold Budd, Laraaji et al -- then adding extra colors just where necessary. And on "Dream 3," faint, almost folk-y strings enter the frame, calling out from beyond the horizon, almost blotted out by a synth part that's in the thrall of Gigi Masin's legendary "Clouds" -- the track that ended up being repurposed by Björk on It's In Our Hands. Zsela, Katz and Aged keep that momentum for the final track, too, letting cinematic strings echo around subtle synths and vanishing rhythms, hitting those hypnagogic, tranquil notes that so much contemporary ambient music seems to avoid. 'Cause at its heart, 4 Dreams is deeper than that, a record that's entrenched in jazz, soul and classical minimalism rather than throwaway numbing music, of the contemporary variety.

Parisian label Latency presents Without References/Cindy van Acker (Variations), a new release by Goat (JP) and Ricardo Villalobos. For this project, Ricardo Villalobos reinterprets two tracks -- 'Orin' and 'Factory' -- originally composed by Goat (JP) for choreographer and performance artist Cindy van Acker's dance piece "Without References". Goat (JP), led by Osaka-based composer Koshiro Hino (YPY, Kakuhan, Boredoms, Mark Fell), is widely regarded as a leading force in contemporary minimalist composition. In Without References/Cindy Van Acker, Goat (JP) transforms non-tonal rhythmic patterns into intricate, hypnotic structures with remarkable depth. In this new version, the group's simultaneously tribal and futuristic sound is reshaped by Villalobos' distinctive production style, which draws from both minimalist techno and Latin American rhythmic traditions. Ricardo Villalobos is a pioneering figure in minimal techno, known for his hypnotic and deeply rhythmic approach to electronic music. Born in Chile and raised in Germany after his family fled Pinochet's regime, Villalobos developed an early fascination with percussion, beginning to play congas and bongos at the age of eleven. This tactile engagement with rhythm continues to inform his production work today. Influenced by both Latin American folk traditions and the emerging house and techno scenes of late-1980s Europe, he began DJing and producing in the early 1990s and quickly gained cult status within global club culture. Cindy van Acker's dance piece "Without References" features scenography by visionary choreographer Romeo Castellucci. The stage environment evokes a space that shifts between a waiting room, a train station hall, and a mid-century installation. Eleven dancers interpret Van Acker's precise yet fluid movements, interacting with Goat (JP)'s percussive, stripped-down compositions to create a visceral and immersive performance. The artwork features photographs by Magali Dougados from a staging of "Without References" at the Maison de la Culture de Seine-Saint-Denis.

"Jamaican singer born in Clarendon, Jamaica on June 27, 1956. At age seven, he started singing backup for a local ska harmony duo called The Clarendonians and did his first recordings aged 10 years with the name 'Little Freddie' or 'Young Freddie,' and as a duo with Ernest Wilson aka 'Freddie & Fitsy.' McGregor stayed at Studio One for much of the '70s. He sang lead for groups like Generation Gap and Soul Syndicate, and also recorded off and on as a solo act during the '70s. In 1975, McGregor converted to Rastafarianism. Freddie McGregor's debut album Mr. McGregor was released in 1979. The album opens with 'We Got Love' featuring a Tower of Power influenced horn section underneath McGregor's tale of love conquering all. The classic 'Rastaman Camp' combines muted horn and an earthy, Nyahbinghi-like chorus for one of producer Niney's deeper constructions, but the lightweight fare is equally welcome as the easy strolling and not too sugary version of 'Brandy' displays. Mr. McGregor is available as a limited numbered edition of 750 copies on orange colored vinyl."

Meaning "soul friend" in Gaelic, Anamchara is a new compilation of buried treasure from Nina Walsh's colossal Woodleigh Research Facility archive. W.R.F. was formed in 2015 by Nina and late studio partner Andrew Weatherall to help wrangle the vast output recorded together beyond his solo releases. Spotlighting nine tracks from the Apparently Solo series of EPs recorded between 2016- 2019 and released on Bandcamp in 2023, this lustrous time capsule marks the culmination of Walsh and Weatherall's creative relationship born after they clicked at London's earliest acid house clubs, becoming partners then managers of their Sabres Of Paradise/Sabrettes labels before taking different paths by the late '90s. An accomplished musician, Nina had learned the art of studio technology by the time they reunited and started working together in 2012. Created at her Facility 4 Studio situated in the dangerous, gang-ridden no man's land between Streatham and Mitcham, Anamchara captures the super-prolific creative stretch starting in 2015 that produced Weatherall's Convenanza and Qualia solo sets, W.R.F.'s The Phoenix Suburb (And Other Stories) plus a whole lot more. According to Nina, Andrew envisioned the spectacular "Borderland" as natural successor to "Smokebelch," his most revered track. When it came to his remix, Nina enlisted renowned viola virtuoso Sarah Sarhandi and composed new harmonies with Pachelbel's Canon in D Minor in mind. The set also catches the breakthrough period when, through Nina's careful coaxing, Andrew started using the computer system she'd set up to better express his musical visions by arranging the elements, grooves and melodies she sent him. Still considered the UK's greatest DJ-producer, Andrew's arrangements were inspired by his club-igniting sets. Anamchara straddles the gamut of musical styles explored by W.R.F. at this time, from slower paced psychedelic "drug chug" outings "We Two." Many tracks fly elements from the enormous sonic library Nina inherited from late partner Erick Legrand that she called The Akashic Library of Sound. Marking Andrew's 2016 admission into the vault, "Rattly Old Puffin" boasts Erick's psychedelic guitar and tumbling drum loop Weatherall would run with, including on "Borderland." Bringing down the curtain, "Alma's" exquisitely poignant melody that unfolds over thirteen time-stopping minutes was composed by Nina while navigating Erick's birth and departure date anniversaries to accompany Andrew's reading from Gordon Burn's 1991 same-named novel at 2018's Durham Literary Festival. Burn's novel imagines early 60s popstrel Alma Cogan, who succumbed to cancer in 1966 surviving to reflect on fame. A beautiful grand finale for this astonishing selection of pure gold from the vaults.

RELEASE DATE: 6/19/2026
Five years after his first quartet release Kora, Giacomo Zanus returns with a new album titled Wandering Away Is Safer Than Getting Lost On Your Own. Composed and produced by the Italian guitarist, Wandering Away is a collection of little stories -- postcards and travel notes that evoke faces, places and sensations to immerse oneself in, get lost in and ultimately rediscover. There are lived and dreamt memories, as in the diptych "I picked up a flower to say hello" and "but hell. It became a farewell," as well as cinematic moments recalling the more melancholic atmospheres of Morricone and Ry Cooder in "canto pagano." With Wandering Away, Zanus offers his vision of contemporary jazz skillfully infused with folk, post-rock and a soundtrack aesthetic, where the sound of his guitar becomes a voice that guides, narrates and enchants through the wide melodic breath of the compositions. Supporting him in this interplay between composition and improvisation are Giorgio Pacorig (Fender Rhodes, piano), Mattia Magatelli (double bass and electric bass) and Marco D'Orlando (drums and percussion), among the most brilliant musicians on the Italian jazz scene. Recorded and mixed by Matt Bordin, mastered by Manuel Volpe, with artwork by Franz Longhi.

Telling a tale of house music's early days or roots without mentioning Tony Humphries as a club DJ, remixer and radio disc jockey would make it an incomplete, forged and most of all a bit of a yawn. Born in Brooklyn in 1957, Humphries' musical journey is synonymous with New York City's dance music history and the evolution from up-tempo soul music to house: from being a dancer at David Mancuso's infamous Loft parties to becoming a mobile DJ and getting the call from Shep Pettibone to become his right hand at the then new Kiss FM radio station, followed by countless remix offers and a legendary residency at Newark's Club Zanzibar. Next to that one, it was especially his work as a radio disc jockey for said station during most of the 1980s until 1994 that gave him majestic clout. Breaking new records week in, week out, putting New Jersey acts like Adeva and Jomanda or countless up-and-coming producers from there on the musical map, while simultaneously playing the hottest imports from Europe, trax from Chicago, dance classics and all things straight from New York's music factory that never seemed to stop. Going to his vast and almost complete archive of radio shows from way back when he graced those airwaves, Running Back Records have picked original recordings that symbolize his importance as an industry giant and ambassador of this style of music.

Two lost cuts from the orbit of Tony Humphries surface at last, pulled straight from acetates in his private archive and pressed here for the first time. Unearthed like messages from the booth itself, they capture that raw, transitional moment when club music was still inventing its own language night after night. On the A-side, Kerri Chandler with "Kerri Kaoz Beats," a stripped, swinging tool full of basement pressure and early-morning intent. Flip it over for Dee Dee Brave's "My My Lover (Tony Humphries Dub)", a previously unheard Humphries reconstruction that stretches the vocal into something deeper, moodier and unmistakably floor-ready.

Limited 300 only double vinyl set pressed on cream/black marble vinyl, housed in a wide spined color sleeve, with polylined inners, plastic outer and hype sticker. A sprawling, meditative journey into inner and outer space, the new double album from Ivan The Tolerable sees Oli Heffernan retreat fully into the solo realm -- crafting an expansive sonic world that feels both intimate and cosmic in scope. Recorded entirely alone and released via Riot Season, this latest work drifts away from structured forms and toward something more fluid, exploratory, and transcendent. Drawing on the devotional atmospheres of early ambient pioneers and the hypnotic pulse of kosmische music, the album unfolds as a series of slowly shifting soundscapes -- analog synths breathing in long, patient waves, tape loops dissolving into shimmering drones, and melodies that seem to emerge from nowhere before gently receding again. There are echoes of ritual, of vast landscapes, of time stretching and folding in on itself. Across its two discs, Heffernan embraces a deeply immersive approach -- less concerned with destination than with the act of drifting itself. It's music that invites stillness and surrender, equally suited to deep listening or quiet disconnection from the noise of the everyday. Unbound by genre yet rooted in a rich lineage of experimental sound, this is Ivan The Tolerable at his most introspective and transportive -- a double album that doesn't just ask for your attention, but your presence.

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.

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.

Opponents Stims has two cuts from Clark's live show, the blistering, pummeling, nominatively deterministic 'Relentless Opponent' and the euphoric/cathartic 'Who Booed the Geese,' maxing out Goose intensity. They nestle up against two coy vignettes, Uxor Cut and My Crow Life and then Frisky Mellows. That's an addictive, briskly paced 4/4 Detroit-tinted number that could almost be a lost Carl Craig classic.

After the raw, instinct-led release of JXDY, which was initially never planned as a longplayer, NEVER returns with his sophomore album The Gray, a more thought-out and expanded body of work. Out on Veyl, the record keeps its roots in post-punk and darkwave, but opens up into a broader space, both sonically and emotionally. For the first time, NEVER brings in outside voices in a more central way. What started with experiments outside his own music, like the remix for Years of Denial's "City Lights," now becomes a core part of the process, making The Gray feel less isolated and more like a shared ground shaped by different inputs. The collaborations mark key moments across the album. "Is This Real," the collaboration with Arizona duo Meldamor leans into a more direct, dancefloor-oriented approach, with Mel's vocals bringing a restrained, atmospheric presence that shapes the track's tone without overpowering it. "RXVOK," together with Filmmaker, goes darker and rougher, pulling in industrial weight with black-metaltinged vocal textures. On "Shxdows Bite," Castelli brings in a colder, '80s-leaning mood, keeping things melodic but restrained. "Amphibiens" with Contre Soirée pushes in the opposite direction, more raw and abrasive, with French vocals cutting through a dense and pressured backdrop. Around these tracks, the album moves as one piece rather than separate moments. Themes circle around love, loss, memory and a sense of collapse, without ever fully resolving. It stays in that inbetween space, where things don't quite settle. The artwork comes from Francesco Goats, known for his work in Xerox art, adding a visual layer that fits the tone of the record. With The Gray, NEVER moves into a more open phase, where collaboration plays a bigger role and the overall direction feels more defined, without losing the edge of earlier work.

First-ever vinyl reissue of Hadley Caliman's 1971 modal/spiritual jazz cult classic, Iapetus. Composed and arranged by Bayeté Todd Cochran, featuring remastered audio, original gatefold artwork with unissued session photos and new liner notes written by Todd Cochran. Wewantsounds continues its reissue program of Bob Shad's cult jazz label, Mainstream Records, with Hadley Caliman's superb 1972 album, Iapetus. Recorded in LA and featuring a heavyweight lineup of West Coast players including Todd Cochran, Woody "Sonship" Theus, Luis Gasca, and Victor Pantoja, the majority of the album was composed by Todd Cochran (aka Bayeté) soon after he had composed Bobby Hutcherson's Blue Note classic, Head On. A true hidden treasure, it is reissued here on vinyl for the first time since 1971, featuring its original gatefold artwork with rare first-generation photos. This edition comes with newly remastered audio and a two-page insert with exclusive liner notes by Todd Cochran, reflecting on Hadley Caliman and the making of the album. Tenor saxophonist and flutist Hadley Caliman was a key figure in the West Coast late '60s underground scene, whose versatile style made him a first-call collaborator across genres. A fixture of the San Francisco music scene, Caliman's rich tone and musical creativity saw him crossing over into the city's lively jazz and psychedelic rock circles, contributing to recordings by Gerald Wilson, Mongo Santamaria, Santana, and the Grateful Dead. By 1971, he had established himself as a prominent member of this creative community, which led to his signing with Bob Shad's Mainstream Records. Following his 1971 self-titled debut, Caliman returned to the studio later that year to record Iapetus. The session featured a heavyweight lineup of fellow West Coast fixtures, including trumpeter Luis Gasca, bassist James Leary, and a powerhouse percussion section of Woody "Sonship" Theus, Victor Pantoja, and Hungria Garcia. The album's sophisticated modal structures were captured by pianist and composer Todd Cochran.

Deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket from Stoughton. "Originally released in 1973, Moontan is the album that catapulted Golden Earring to international stardom, primarily on the strength of the hit single and enduring radio favorite 'Radar Love.' Eventually reaching #13 on the coveted Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., it was subsequently covered multiple hundreds of times by U2, R.E.M., Def Leppard, and many more. To this day, Moontan is Golden Earring's most successful record internationally -- it's their only album to be certified Gold by the RIAA -- and certainly paved the way for the Dutch rockers in the United States. Now, this arguably most important record in the Dutch rock canon is available as a 45RPM 2LP edition for the first time, entirely remastered and restored from the original analogue master tapes by Red Bullet catalogue and band archivist Wouter Bessels.

"The Trip To Vega is about deep outer space odyssey that occurs in the process of traveling from Earth through the Cosmos to another "favorable" star system 25.3 light-years away. The time is year 2097, Sept 23rd. To this day, Earthlings have managed to dodge some of nature's more dangerous extremities, massive volcanic eruptions, Earthquakes, solar burst that knocked out the Planet's entire electrical grid for three years, numerous plagues of disease, food and fresh water shortages, domestic and International Wars and many other life-changing operas, but for this event, what remains is a realization that has no remedy. The cause: Earth's physicality has changed. It is no longer favorable for living things. It is the constant shifting of the planet's internal tectonic plates which has unfortunately produced an unexpected and impassable dilemma. Because of the collisions, deep within the planet's core, the planet is now producing an extraordinary amount of sound that includes a specific harmonic frequency that erodes the natural senses of all life on Earth. It is intensifying. It is intolerable and it is unlivable. Yet, some humans prefer to stay, to "ride it out" like the Titanic captain going down with his ship. Some, in total disbelief as some have concluded it is the second coming of Jesus Christ. But for most, the decision is clear. To live another day, leaving is the only rational choice. At an increasing rate, scientific research data shows that humans and most animals, excluding the Jellyfish will eventually lose the usage of hearing and are to greatly suffer from an array of other neurological and psychological effects. The sense of touch and taste, sleep depreciation, severe nerve damage, constant hallucinations. Everyone will lose many of their cognitive abilities within an estimated 12 months from now. On this day and every seven days afterwards until all registered passengers have departed, the first of a fleet of large number of massive size spacecraft carrying approximately 1 million humans per vessel will permanently leave Earth to begin the long and adventurous trek across outer space to a new home: Vega. This is not a precautionary tale as there is nothing to learn. Instead, a decision has been made and A Trip To Vega is the consequence. " - Jeff Mills

In the early 2000s, The Hydromatics brought together three scenes, three cities, and one shared devotion to rock'n'roll: the fiery tradition of Detroit, the raw punch of Amsterdam, and the high-energy attitude of Scandinavia. Fronted by none other than Scott Morgan (Sonic´s Rendezvous Band), one of the great voices of Detroit rock, and backed by Tony Slug (LOVESLUG) and a band built out of genuine love for the legacy of Sonic's Rendezvous Band, the result was Powerglide -- a record that is tough, streetwise, soulful, elegant, and raw all at once. Originally released in 2001, Powerglide captures The Hydromatics in full flight. Original songs sit alongside explosive takes on material connected to the Sonic's Rendezvous universe, all delivered with nerve, conviction, and the kind of authority that simply cannot be faked. The guitars bite, the rhythm section drives relentlessly, and above all there is Scott Morgan's voice -- capable of sounding fierce, wounded, and defiant within the very same line. Far from being a mere exercise in homage, Powerglide stands tall as a living, breathing record with a personality all its own: high-octane rock'n'roll fueled by rhythm and blues soul and steeped in the unmistakable spirit of Detroit. This is an album for those who understand that proto-punk, garage soul, and real rock'n'roll were never separated by any meaningful border in the first place.

Clear vinyl version. In spring 2025, Abul Mogard and Rafael Anton Irisarri created the source material for their second album, Where Light Pauses in the Silence of the Sun, during a three-day residency at Morphine Raum in Berlin. Functioning as both recording studio and performance venue, the space has no stage, with the audience gathered around the performers. Working within an open framework, the duo reshaped the music each evening while recording the performances live to multitrack. Rotary speakers, modular synthesizers and bowed guitar formed the core of their sonic language, captured through a 1970s mixing console and microphones placed around the room. Back in Mogard's studio in Rome, the material was further crafted as motifs were stretched, fragments isolated, and tempos dissolved. Irisarri recorded additional guitar textures and treatments in New York, while passages recorded by Martina Bertoni and Andrea Burelli in Berlin reinforced the harmonic centers and brought breath, refinement and a new sensibility to their compositions. The process continued as Mogard's layering and subtraction reassembled everyone's parts into the final arrangement. The album opens with "In the Eastern Wild," building from a sparse outline into a monumental formation of low-frequency weight, its internal motion shaped by the rotating Leslie speaker. "Over the Domes" widens into a broader acoustic field, where sustained modular tones meet waves of softly plucked guitar. The music then turns inward with "A Blue Descent," centered on Bertoni's cello, whose growling timbre introduces a melancholic depth. At the album's center, "In a Quiet Radiance" unfolds around a slow guitar ostinato, its luminous stillness opening into a more expansive and reflective state. Across its ten-minute span, Burelli's violin lines and Bertoni's lower cello phrases gradually surface, weaving through the harmonic field. Mogard brings Burelli's processed voice to the fore, its emotive, operatic presence becoming one of the record's pivotal moments. "Of Blessed Ages" suspends the sonic flow, shifting between parallel major and minor chords as lingering, slowly decaying melodies shape the music's internal drift. The closing "Among Shadows" settles into a darker resonance as layered textures recede. Mogard and Irisarri's shared language balances restraint and maximalism.

Laid Back in top form. After 47 years together, the iconic Danish duo continues to defy expectations, entering a new and remarkably productive creative phase. Born to Fly captures their unmistakable sound while showcasing a renewed sense of energy and inspiration. Long known for their unhurried approach to releasing music, Laid Back now find themselves in unfamiliar territory. John Guldberg describes a surge in creativity that has turned their process on its head. "It's kind of funny -- Laid Back has always taken its time making records. We've been behind schedule for most of our career. Now it's the opposite: I'm actually starting to worry about whether I'll have time to release everything I've got in me," he says. Their current workflow reflects this momentum. Guldberg develops initial ideas, which he shares with Tim Stahl, who then brings them to life with vocals and instrumentation. The duo's creative output has accelerated to such an extent that even ahead of the release of Born to Fly, they already have enough material prepared for more than a double album for their next project. "It's about making the most of the time you have left. I used to feel there was plenty of time and no need to rush. Now time feels much more valuable," Guldberg adds. Alongside their creative resurgence, Laid Back are also seeing a shift in their audience demographics. Streaming data and live performances indicate a growing younger fanbase -- a development that has taken the duo by surprise.

"Birdman Records reissues Invisible Men, the early space explorations of electronic music pioneer F/i. In the mid-80s F/i was on the cutting edge of electronic bombast, producing cassette tapes of late-night interstellar sessions to be traded world over with the handful of heads that were plugged into similar perambulations. As a link between Throbbing Gristle and the Spacemen 3, this period of F/i has been woefully forgotten, until now. Later in the '80s, F/i would morph into Vocokesh continuing their space rock explorations. The 2LP set features founding member Richard Franecki, Brian Wensing, and Steve Zimmerman, and includes the ultra-rare recording 'Air' (produced around the same time as Invisible Men). For the first time on vinyl, a limited run of 500 copies."

"Songs Album II is LA musician Aaron MF Olson's Country Thyme Records debut, his second 'songs for singing' album in just over a decade of releasing music. His songs mix satiric, confessional and experimental lyric modes and his music's cut from a fine cloth of head-informed, classically sweet and soft pop/rock modes. Most of all, Songs Album II is music for listening. To listen to and to play music; that's been his highest aim, for most of his life. He's released four albums of 'Baywatch Krautrock' with LA Takedown, and played and recorded in many other projects, including but not limited to his experimental Music Tracing Ensemble, exotica collective Other Delights, Bedouine, Coffin Prick, Papa M, Tommy Peltier, Vetiver, and 'L.A.'s Most grateful Dead cover band,' Richard Pictures. If all this implies a wide palette of input/output, Songs Album II has it in reserve, framed scrupulously in a sequence of nice, light folk/rock ditties, their spacey-yet-precise arrangements colorfully blowing up the songs' personal values: by definition, perfect listening! It's Aaron, on most acoustic and electric guitars and basses, keyboards, harmonica, synth and vocals, Robin MacMillian on drums, Tara Milch, flute; Michael Sachs, clarinets; Luke Csehak, bassoon and trumpet; additional guitars and vocals from Blue Broderick, Bart Davenport, and Wayne Faler; keyboards and vocals from Andrew Dorsett and vocals by Matt Popieluch, making Songs Album II a collection of widescreen, hi-def songs and sounds. Aaron's voice is light-toned, gentle and tunefully raspy, falling somewhere between Jack Nitzsche, Van Dyke Parks, Robert Wyatt, and personal inspirations John Simon, Stephen Pastel, Jim O'Rourke and Kermit's nephew, Robin. Without trying to, Aaron came around to Songs Album II after another bout of demon COVID. He's a singer/songwriter who's been known to dream musical passages, with a couple on this record in delightful proof -- welcoming the hand of the mystic upon him. The 'no particular theme' implied by the title is only part so. It's no concept album, unless the concept is 'album, of songs,' but there ARE themes to be found here, feels and emotions crystalized around this lifetime of listening. With moments of sound laced into song, functioning both as toe-tapping sweet melodies and near-Joycean full-function index of personal reference, Aaron MF Olson's Songs Album II is music meant for listening to in the spirit of listening, and higher calling. And singing along!"

Mike Cooper returns to Discrepant with The Dream Island of Birds, a release that blurs the lines between memory, field recording, and reimagined sound. In the early 1990s, Cooper met illustrator and writer Charles van Sandwyk while walking on a small island in Fiji. Van Sandwyk was living there quietly, working from a modest bamboo house near the beach. Years later, Cooper learned that following a serious car accident, van Sandwyk experienced vivid dreams during his recovery -- one of which became a small illustrated book titled The Dream Island of Birds. A signed postcard from that book still hangs in Cooper's studio. In 2012, Cooper spent a month as artist-in-residence on Pulau Ubin, a small island between Singapore and Malaysia, recording birds and insects across the island. Home to more than 300 resident and migratory bird species, Pulau Ubin provided the source material for this album, later combined with electronics and digital processing. The track titles reference some of the island's more evocatively named birds, though the sounds themselves are not literal representations. One piece is not derived from live birds at all, but imagined entirely through electronic means. Neither documentary nor abstraction, The Dream Island of Birds sits between field recording, memory, and invention -- an island heard through time and circuitry.

Cassette version. "On Stash, the absolutely energy-drenched second album from BCMC, the guitar and keys duo soars through waves of pleasant rhythmic turbulence on the way to show listeners just what they got. Needle down: increased activity dubs and baubles the sonic surface of BCMC's Stash planet. Waves from Arabian, Indian, Flamenco and Soul groove in alliance under the expanse of an all-world flag, representing a borderless pursuit of cosmic music moments in the hand, of/by/for all the people of folk, rock and jazz, psych, west coast psych, prog, DIY, experimental, traditional, programmatic, impressionistic, liturgic, electric! Maybe it's in the DNA between Cooper Crain on organ and synth and Bill MacKay on guitar -- BCMC's groove-based understanding/space-based alignment of purpose is two-headed (four-handed) intuition in music, aurally forming whenever playing, composing, improvising, or all the above. Stash is part guitar and keyboard recital, part unbridled electroacoustic assembly of spontaneous international deep and wide sounds. Happening between them, somehow. Like the time: guitar and keyboard pushing, then pulling back in space. The sound of two people agreeing on this. Patterns emerge, units form, and then, we feel BCMC alive in the wide-open air of the room. Also in Stash: written things, shorter strands, riffs, prog/funk/church organ breaks, psychedelic blues-rock soloing on synth. Echoes of Floyd/Doors/Deep Purple/Iron Butterfly/Velvets/Can wove into a jangly nest, then trembled with an occasional British folk peregrination. Insistent chord/rhythm discovery: jam it out. Having taped, take a second pass in places. Improvisation, layers, inner-player dialogues revolve the flow, open it up. Drop the needle down into Stash anywhere. You find one sonic widescreen or another in time. Vivid, judiciously-tripped minimalist songs; tropical soundtrack capacity and time, horizons and water flown in from the border, fine frontier and mellow high. Stash was recorded on half-inch 8-track tape by Greg Norman at Electrical Audio, then recorded more and mixed to 1/2" 2-track tape at Sweat Loge by Cooper and Bill. Stash's different textural feel is down to wondering about, then dialing details in the sound, getting good signal in a few good spaces with a few new (old) machines in the chain. And in the mix, not a digital module was stirring: Stash is straight AAA, student!"

Red color vinyl. After falling out with Sir Coxsone, the legendary head of the Kingston label Studio One, Lee Perry first founded his own band and then, in 1973, set up his own studio in his backyard. What was born out of necessity developed into a unique success story. With both the Upsetters and the Black Ark, Perry made music history -- most notably with the 1976 release of the album Super Ape, on which he made the genre of dub bubble and boil from the mixing desk in previously unheard ways. For Perry, the studio is like a living organism. Whether he truly experiences it that way or simply lets too much ganja go up in smoke, for Perry the equipment is organic, empathetic, and intelligent. The catch is that the results sound exactly like that as well. Long before sampling was invented, he layered tracks of deep basslines, echoes, and reverb with various self-recorded sound sequences -- often played in reverse -- on top of, into, and beneath each other. In other words, Perry was the first producer who made the music instead of the band. Among other things, this earned him the title "Salvador Dali of Dub."

"Messrs. Corsano and Dorji are both familiar names in the Feeding Tube discography. Chris has played drums on eight FTR LPs (and recorded two other), and Tashi has played guitar on six (details upon request if you are lazy.) But this is the first time they have appeared on vinyl as a duo, and we are damn proud to have them. Over the past years Chris has recorded with a lot of the era's best guitarists -- Bill Nace, Ben Chasny, Thurston Moore, Nels Cline, David Vanzan, Bill Orcutt, Rick Bishop, Glenn Jones, Jim O'Rourke, Flo Stoffner, and onward. And Tashi has worked with some fine-ass drummers -- Thom Nguyên, Tyler Damon, Michael Zerang, Dylan Fujioka, Susie Ibarra, Marshall Trammell, etc. So perhaps this team-up was inevitable. They played their first live duo show at a one-off in 2023 and it went so well, they set up a four date tour for 2025. This set was recorded at the tour's inaugural date in Tashi's hometown, Asheville NC, at Ritual Botanica, a space run by Tashi's pals, Potion. And it is a corker. Chris runs through a panorama of his playing styles. Sometimes he flashes polyrhythmic jazzoid explosions across every available drum head. At others he lays into a slightly off-kilter backbeat like some sort of prog rock lumberjack. Simultaneously, Tashi lays out lines of space-oid feedback, drives through angular chunk-riffs ala early John McLaughlin, or spirals into psych flairs worthy of Japan's sub-underground masters. Together, they make a powerful argument for the divine mastery of drum/guitar duos, a non-standard format first introduced (to me, anyway) on Randy Holden's Population II. Live at Ritual Botanica is a different animal than Holden's classic LP, but a stone by any other name, y'know?" --Byron Coley, 2026

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.

Alunah says: "Embers of Belief features the first Alunah recordings with vocalist Daisy Savage and continues our long-standing relationship with Heavy Psych Sounds Records. We are both excited and proud to present our contribution to this split release -- two brand new studio tracks that give a glimpse into where this new chemistry as a band is taking us creatively, alongside two live recordings which document and acknowledge the incredible job Daisy did in stepping up to tour and promote our previous full-length. This significant release is part of our 'VINGT' celebrations, marking 20 years of Alunah with both new music and festival appearances, including Bloodstock Open Air and Desertfest London. To everyone who's stood by Birmingham, heavy rock, and doom through the years -- this one's for you!"
Samavayo says: "Creativity --- it burns deep inside, demanding to be heard and when it wants out, it has to get out. So here we are! Longing, recklessness and hope -- three themes that couldn't be more human or more relevant right now. 'Bavar' is a crushing heavy piece built on the Fibonacci sequence, featuring Persian lyrics inspired by a poem from Siavash Kasraie. It stands as a defiant cry against grief and mortality -- the narrator refuses to accept the death of loved ones, clinging instead to love, shared tears, and the breath of life as proof that loss can neither truly be believed nor surrendered to. 'Mottainai,' the second song takes aim at a reckless, consumption-driven mindset -- the relentless pursuit of instant gratification and shortcuts. The song warns that this culture of excess and selfishness will ultimately leave a devastating legacy for future generations. 'California Sky' is a psychedelic, acoustic ode to Samavayo's 2025 US tour, captures a paradoxical longing for the American desert landscape. It evokes a sense of spiritual belonging in the vast emptiness of Joshua Tree, while reflecting a deep yet helpless emotional connection to the United States and all its contradictions."
Also available on black vinyl (HPS 393LP), orange vinyl (HPS 393LTD-LP), and splatter vinyl (HPS 393ULTRA-LP).

It stands as a defiant cry against grief and mortality -- the narrator refuses to accept the death of loved ones, clinging instead to love, shared tears, and the breath of life as proof that loss can neither truly be believed nor surrendered to. 'Mottainai,' the second song takes aim at a reckless, consumption-driven mindset -- the relentless pursuit of instant gratification and shortcuts. The song warns that this culture of excess and selfishness will ultimately leave a devastating legacy for future generations. 'California Sky' is a psychedelic, acoustic ode to Samavayo's 2025 US tour, captures a paradoxical longing for the American desert landscape. It evokes a sense of spiritual belonging in the vast emptiness of Joshua Tree, while reflecting a deep yet helpless emotional connection to the United States and all its contradictions."

Alunah says: "Embers of Belief features the first Alunah recordings with vocalist Daisy Savage and continues our long-standing relationship with Heavy Psych Sounds Records. We are both excited and proud to present our contribution to this split release -- two brand new studio tracks that give a glimpse into where this new chemistry as a band is taking us creatively, alongside two live recordings which document and acknowledge the incredible job Daisy did in stepping up to tour and promote our previous full-length. This significant release is part of our 'VINGT' celebrations, marking 20 years of Alunah with both new music and festival appearances, including Bloodstock Open Air and Desertfest London.

"Los Angeles musician Cate Kennan's self-produced second full length unfolds with the poetry and immateriality of its title: Shadows. Ten vignettes of keys, strings, reverb, and voice, the songs sway and lope between dream and lullaby, rose-colored but remote. The album was inspired by the dislocation Kennan felt upon returning, after several years away, to the rustic neighborhood northwest of L.A. where she'd grown up: 'Wandering through a place where my life once existed but where everything had quietly shifted with time.' The music conjures a mood of distance, dust, and dazed emotion, alternately lulling and unraveling. From shuffling tumbleweed vignettes ('The Lone West,' 'Romantic Strings') to sepia-tone torch songs ('Shadows,' 'Reverie') to oblique keyboard meditations ('Moonlight,' 'Rain'), Kennan's soundworld moves with a muted, murky beauty, like alluring shapes seen through smudged glass. In her hands, haze is a transformative property, liberating melody and memory into landscapes still untraveled: 'What began as a period of nostalgia for me turned into a longing, not for the past, for a place that might exist somewhere beyond the horizon.'"

Gadea's original soundtrack to In the Beginning, the new animated short film by director Ala Nunu, unfolds across three surreal, yet surprisingly real, stories about people and the world around them: a lunar probe's tardigrade cargo, 16th-century myths surrounding birds of paradise, and Hong Kong's pandemic-driven hamster cull. The film is a tonally absurd documentary-fiction essay on anthropocentrism and the human need to control narratives. This is Gadea's first musical accompaniment for animation. Collaborating with Marina Herlop on vocals, Gadea's sonic palette sits somewhere between field-recording minimalism, chamber electroacoustics, and the more fragile end of speculative composition.

"Duo Concert Frankfurt 1986, was recorded live in Germany on February 15th. The album captures tenor icon Pharoah Sanders and celebrated pianist John Hicks in a moment of profound musical harmony. Sanders, known for his evolution from fierce free jazz to deeply lyrical spiritualist, plays here with warmth, focus and emotional clarity. Hicks meets him with luminous touch, rich voicings and an intuitive sense of space that elevates every phrase. Together they deliver a beautifully balanced set of Coltrane classics 'Giant Steps,' 'Central Park West,' original compositions such as 'Heart To Heart' and more timeless standards. From the serene glow of 'After the Rain' to the understated spiritual power of 'The Creator Has A Master Plan/Thembi,' the duo moves effortlessly between tenderness, swing and transcendence. Their interplay feels almost telepathic, two distinct voices merging into one shared musical vision. This first-ever vinyl release of the legendary Duo Concert Frankfurt 1986 is a spiritual partnership. The double album is available now and includes new liner-notes by jazz journalist Bret Primack. Affixed on the protective sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless Jazz sticker."

Magenta color vinyl. "Bill Withers was a modest, gentle, and yet towering musical figure responsible for some of the most important, universally known soul hits ever written. It's no wonder that 'Just the Two of Us' and 'Ain't No Sunshine' won him two Grammy awards and undoubtedly played a huge role in getting him inducted into both the Songwriters and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Live at Carnegie Hall is Withers' only live album, recorded on October 6, 1973 but not released until April 21, 1973. The fact that Bill got to play his heartfelt and honest soul at one of the most prestigious venues for both classical and pop music speaks volumes: his first two records Just As I Am and Still Bill were really that influential. Withers here appears on stage with an ensemble of only the best session musicians the 1970s had to offer: Melvin Dunlap, Ray Jackson, James Gadson, Benorce Blackmon, and Bobbye Hall, at the time one of the few female session percussionists. They all had worked together on Still Bill and had the knack for expanding Bill's intimate songs to fit a hall of that size and stature. And as far as the recording goes, no corners were cut; it really feels like you're up there with them."

Nate Krafft (Nathaniel Killins IV) is a visionary Detroit producer whose 1990s work were released under his own name and aliases such as Super Nova and Naquil and have since become highly collectible. He later re-emerged as Nate Nubia, continuing to experiment techno infused with machine soul and cosmic imagination. In 1995, he dropped two cult 12"s on his own Infra label: Man Machine and Crimson Arsenal, blending Detroit techno with electro edges and sci-fi atmospheres exploring uncharted territories. These sought-after EPs, which sounded futuristic long before their time, are brought together for the first time as one limited edition red vinyl 2x12".

M-Plant's Perpetual Masters series continues with Robert Hood's Spectra EP up next. Remastered once again by legendary German producer, Thomas Heckmann. Robert Hood's Spectra EP, originally released in 2001, stands as a defining example of his stripped-back, conceptual approach to techno. It sees Robert Hood operating at his most stripped-down and hypnotic, built from tightly looped drum patterns and shadowy synth fragments that slowly evolve. Hood's precision is evident in every detail, as he balances repetition with crisp percussion and a tightly controlled groove. More deep, immersive and hard-hitting minimal techno from the master.

PNØ is the duo project of experimental vocalist Agnes Hvizdalek and techno innovator Jakob Schneidewind on electronics. They combine minimalistic musical structures with organic improvisations, pure vocal sounds with drum machines, synthesizers and effects that trigger and manipulate each other's output. Their vision for the future of music makes them explore crossing points between experimental and electronic dance music. Their first album, Zakeri, was released in 2015. Since then, they have performed, among others, at ORF Musikprotokoll, Wiener Festwochen, Jazzwerkstatt Wien, Ottosonics, and de/semble.

Clear colored vinyl. Includes booklet in silk screened PVC sleeve. Sound fragments unfold across Zurich, making loss, memory, and cultural change physically and acoustically perceptible. In The Rhythm of Design, Zurich-based fine arts duo Michael Meier and Christoph Franz explore urban displacement and its impact on the local music scene. Focusing on six venues that have disappeared or are under threat, the artists collected materials on site -- wood, metal, and other architectural elements -- and, with the support of professional instrument builders, transformed them into six musical instruments. Six artists and groups connected to these spaces -- namely Kalabrese, Tobibi Ferrari-Bienz, Rafal Skoczek, Lucien Badoux, and Jeremy Sauter, Nicola Kazimir, and Dualism -- each composed a piece for them, forming the basis for site-specific performances in September 2025. Rather than performing as an ensemble, the works -- ranging from experimental funk and punk to kraut, noise, and drone -- unfolded simultaneously in spatial fragments at the original locations. Only through movement and listening across the city did the composition emerge as a whole. The work was realized in collaboration with the City of Zurich, Art in Public Space (KiöR). Eight months after the original performances took place, the pieces are released via Switzerland-based publishing platform Präsens Editionen.

Circuitry presents the reissue of House Without A View, the out-of-print second album by singer-songwriter Lande Hekt. With a new album Lucky Now released on Tapete, Lande's contemporary twist on the classic C86 indie sound -- with a queer feminist punk identity lyrically explicit throughout -- is drawing in an ever-growing audience of devotees, such is the consistent quality of her songwriting, and the personality within. The opening track of the album is "Half With You" which "is about growing into yourself as a queer person, and enjoying who you are after not enjoying it for so long," says Lande. "Cut My Hair" is about how her relationship with her gender has changed over the last few years, becoming more comfortable in herself and understanding more about what makes her happy. "It's also about how easy it is to not talk to people when you're struggling, which is something I did for a long time," admits Lande. The title track of "House Without a View" deals with childhood trauma and how events of our formative years "affect us so much into our adult lives and are intrinsic to our personalities and the way we cope (or don't) with life and relationships," says Lande. Although there's darkness and sadness within the record, there's also some shining beacons of positivity and a light-hearted side, albeit with a side of frustration. "Lola" was written about Lande's cat shortly after she came to live with her and her girlfriend. "She's the first pet I've ever had and I wasn't quite ready for how hard it would be to not be able to verbally communicate with her. I worried constantly that she was depressed because all she did was sleep, but my girlfriend assured me that that was regular cat behavior."

Third repress of Tour-Maubourg's debut album initially released in 2020. Emerging out of the clouds of live and instrumental deep house, Tour-Maubourg first appeared on the scene with a debut record for Parisian label Pont Neuf Records before making connections with FHUO, Salin Records and Happiness Theory. Returning to Pont Neuf for the release of his debut album, Paradis Artificiels, the artist puts paid to the Trax article which once wrote of TM: "one of the most promising producers of the French house scene." Referencing a Baudelaire poem for its title, the album flexes between new age ambience, acid and Chicago house inspirations in tracks like "Le Vol. Du Corbeau" while diving deep into watery percussion, solo jazz brass and skittering drums in "Saint The A La Menthe." With stronger ties to functional deep house in "Diffraction Rythmique," there's a smokey haze of hip hop instrumentality and dub to be found in tracks like "Les Mots" too. A record that would be attractive to fans of SUED.

Pont Neuf regular Tour-Maubourg is undoubtedly an artist on the rise. There are gems aplenty in his back catalogue, which supplements dusty, jazz-flecked deep house with blazed electronica and hazy downtempo gems. Spaces of Silence, his second album, is exceptionally strong, too, with the French producer sashaying between immersive ambient, organic, loose-limbed deep jazz-house, head-nodding instrumental hip-hop, sun-splashed warm-up shufflers, nostalgic New Jersey style deep house, horizontal electronica, deep space workouts, and nods towards the vintage early works of St Germain.

pdqb shows no signs of slowing down. Relentlessly productive and constantly locked into transmission mode, this album delivers 13 tracks of its unmistakable electro-cognition sound. Sharp, futuristic, body-moving music wired straight into the nervous system. From precision electro workouts to mind-bending synth transmissions, every track hits with purpose, style, and identity. However, the remix lineup is equally heavyweight. Four elite reworks from four serious operators, each one twisting the source code into new dimensions. Half pinball table, half neural reactor, wired directly into a wall of aging synthesizers. The so-called "Transient Witness" (aka "Preconscious Data Quantum Buffer") records not what people did -- but what they almost did: Every flash of hesitation, every thought that vanished before becoming real, every dream erased at sunrise. At its center pulses a synthetic brain, decoding impulses too brief for language. These signal transients are micro-events that appear and disappear in milliseconds. When activated, the table will not play sound. It remembers it. Each collision of steel ball and sensor triggers forgotten futures, lost timelines, phantom rhythms from decisions never taken. Basslines from parallel selves. Melodies from unrealized lives. Percussion patterns from collapsing probabilities. The 13 original tracks featured on this release are a transmission recovered from one of its sessions. Electro pulses, synaptic breaks, machine funk, and signals from thoughts that never survived long enough to exist.

Toy Tonics presents Memento Ludi, the first collaborative album by label founder Kapote and multi-instrumentalist producer Arpy Brown. The album is a funk-driven journey that bridges the warmth of 1970s analog recordings with the pulse of contemporary dance music. Blending neo-soul grooves, yacht rock harmonies and modern house rhythms, Memento Ludi captures the spirit of classic musicianship within a forward-looking club context. But Memento Ludi is more than a typical house record. The album moves fluidly between dancefloor tracks and fully developed songs. Every instrument was performed live by the artists themselves: guitars, bass, keyboards and percussion recorded in the studio by Arpy and Kapote. After jamming and recording the basis of every song in a live procedure they carefully resample the parts to create the organic, human touch that defines the Toy Tonics sound. The title Memento Ludi -- Latin for "remember to play" -- reflects the album's philosophy: bringing joy, spontaneity and musicality back into dance music at a time when many club tracks feel increasingly mechanical and formulaic. The collaboration arrives during a particularly busy moment for both artists. While spending countless hours in the studio, Kapote and Arpy Brown have also maintained intensive international touring schedules with the Toy Tonics crew, road-testing many of the tracks as "secret weapons" in their DJ sets from Melbourne to Los Angeles via their homebase Berlin.

Step into the golden era of soul-jazz with the long-awaited vinyl reissue of Vibrations by Roy Ayers Ubiquity -- a record that captures the unmistakable warmth, groove, and sophistication that defined Roy Ayers' sound at its peak. Originally released in 1976, Vibrations stands as a cornerstone in Ayers' catalog, marking a moment where his signature blend of jazz, funk, and soul reached a refined, deeply cohesive form. Building on the foundations laid in earlier works, this album presents a tighter, more focused musical vision without sacrificing the lush textures and emotional depth that made his music resonate worldwide. Roy Ayers was a pioneering vibraphonist, composer, and producer whose influence stretches far beyond jazz into R&B, neo-soul, and hip-hop. Often referred to as the "Godfather of Neo Soul," Ayers crafted a sound that feels both timeless and forward-thinking, pairing silky vocals with hypnotic grooves and rich instrumental arrangements. His work throughout the 1970s helped shape the sonic DNA of modern Black music, and Vibrations is one of its purest expressions. The album flows effortlessly between moods: from the jazz-inflected elegance of "Searching" to the irresistible funk pulse of "The Memory," the dancefloor-ready "One Sweet Love to Remember," and the laid-back, atmospheric title track "Vibrations." Each track showcases a masterful balance between musicianship and groove, brought to life by a stellar ensemble of collaborators who elevate every moment. Beyond its original impact, Vibrations has taken on a second life through hip-hop. Its grooves, breaks, and melodies have been extensively sampled by generations of producers and artists, becoming a foundational source for crate diggers and beatmakers alike. Tracks from the album have been reinterpreted and flipped by influential names such as A Tribe Called Quest, J Dilla, Dr. Dre, and Common, cementing its legacy as a vital bridge between 1970s soul-jazz and contemporary hip-hop culture. After almost two decades out of print, Vampisoul present this much-needed vinyl reissue of an essential album in Roy Ayers' career. Whether you're discovering it for the first time or returning to a beloved classic, this album remains an essential piece of musical history. Pressed on 180g vinyl.

"With their second LP Veld, Sick Gazelle take their cosmic and instantaneous group communications to new levels of clarity and structure, without losing the spark of the jam. The band expands from longtime Chicago underground players Eric Block on guitar (Veloce) and vocalist/saxophonist Bruce Lamont (Yakuza) with drummer Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) to include Douglas McCombs (Tortoise) on bass. Though these five tracks are sculpted from improvisations, they've been refined into song forms that illuminate the strengths of both the individual players and the chemistry of the quartet version of the combo. This comes through in Veld's moments of reflective subtlety on tracks like 'I'll Come Running,' in the foreboding tension of the cinematic 'Ocean Always Wins,' as well as in the charged grooves and dubby undercurrents of the sideways rocker 'Hippies.'"

WRWTFWW Records unleashes the first ever release of legendary post-disco, funk, soul and electronic UK trio Imagination's cult album Night Dubbing in (well deserved) double LP format. The limited edition full-length comes with pristine audiophile treatment and luxurious packaging: a 45rpm and Half Speed Mastered DLP housed in heavyweight silver cardboard sleeve. Imagination's singular 1983 album Night Dubbing is a refined deconstruction of black British soul and club pop, filtered through the deep studio and mixing techniques of dub music. Elegant, restrained, and, in its very own subtle way, radical, the record reshapes choice selections from the group's stellar catalogue into an immersive and out-of-this-world listening experience. The special mixes on Night Dubbing are built on time and space. Basslines elongate and dissolve. Vocals appear, vanish, and reappear like ghosts. Drums fall away into vast silences, while echoes, tape edits, and precise engineering maneuvers smoothly slide across the stereo field, revealing themselves like magic over repeated listens. Far from simple extensions or 12" versions, Night Dubbing treats the studio itself as an instrument, opening new dimensions of sound. Often cited as a foundational record in the genesis of the house genre, the album also features the historic Larry Levan remix of "Changes," a Paradise Garage anthem that helped shape the direction of club music for decades to come. More than 40 years on, Night Dubbing remains a seminal work. Its influence continues to echo through contemporary dance music, offering a blueprint for how pop could be transformed into something darker, stranger, more physical -- a timeless sound that drifts effortlessly from the dancefloor into space. Important note: it sounds amazing played on 33rpm too!

Blu-Ray format. Region code 0. "Children Of The Wicker Man is a deeply personal and emotionally revealing documentary that examines the complicated legacy of filmmaker Robin Hardy, best known for directing the 1973 cult classic The Wicker Man. Directed by his sons, art historian Dominic Hardy and filmmaker Justin Hardy, the film offers an intimate exploration of their father's life and the lasting impact of his work -- both on cinema and on those closest to him. Through decades-old letters, a return to the film's original locations, and candid interviews with friends, family, and collaborators, the documentary uncovers the turbulent history behind the making of a horror masterpiece and the personal cost of its creation. Beyond the film's celebrated status, Children Of The Wicker Man confronts the darker realities of Robin Hardy's life, including his battles with the studio British Lion, his fractured relationship with screenwriter Anthony Shaffer, and the financial and personal controversies that reverberated through his family. The result is a raw and unflinching portrait that blends film history with deeply personal storytelling, as the Hardy brothers reflect on their own experiences growing up in the shadow of a legendary yet deeply flawed figure. This worldwide disc premiere includes additional features such as an audio interview with co-directors Justin Hardy, Dominic Hardy, and Chris Nunn, a Q&A session with the filmmakers and producer Alison Palmer, a making-of featurette, and the theatrical trailer. Critically acclaimed for its honesty and emotional depth, the film has been described as 'an incredibly brave and touching documentary' (MovieJawn) and 'a deeply emotional tour-de-force' (Filmhounds), offering a unique perspective on the intersection of art, legacy, and personal truth."

Dowser was formed in the late 1980s by Hiroyuki Nagashima. After numerous lineup changes, the current members are Hiroyuki Nagashima (instruments), Masateru Terai (instruments, voice), and Takashi Miyagawa (design). Dowser combines vintage synthesizers such as Buchla and EMS with virtual instruments to construct a distinctive sonic landscape that merges electronic music, rock, noise, and ambient textures. Founder and leader Hiroyuki Nagashima is also an accomplished film composer, having created music for internationally acclaimed directors including Gakuryu/Sogo Ishii, Katsuhiro Otomo, and Shinji Aoyama. One of the earliest works released under the name Dowser was itself a soundtrack, the score for the cult cyberpunk film 964 Pinocchio, directed by Shozin Fukui. Nagashima has also contributed to the recent work of legendary vocalist Phew, notably handling album mixing. In addition, he serves as a professor at the Graduate School of Film and New Media at Tokyo University of the Arts, where he teaches film sound design. Now operating as a trio, Dowser crafts immersive soundscapes that channel a wide spectrum of human emotion, from the raw to the deeply vulnerable. Miyagawaʼs automatic drawings complement and extend the musical dimension, reinforcing the group's identity as an "Unconscious Electronic Sound Collective." Schema 1+2 marks Dowserʼs first label release in many years. Long respected within Japanʼs underground scene, the group enters a new phase of its evolution with this album.

Wewantsounds presents the first official reissue of the highly sought-after 1979 classic, Summer-Time Love Song by The Milky Way. Originally released on the Seven Seas label in Japan and produced by the legendary Makoto Matsushita -- the visionary behind the cult album First Light -- the album is a premier example of the sophisticated sound that defined the era. Featuring the cream of Japanese musicians, including Yasuaki Shimizu, the record offers a superb mix of AOR, jazz fusion, funk, and bossa nova. Remastered by Colorsound Studio, this deluxe reissue features the original artwork, an OBI strip, and a 4-page booklet with a new introduction by Paul Bowler. The album serves as a vital precursor to Matsushita's own 1981 cult masterpiece First Light. Here, he and Nobuta lead the cream of Japanese session musicians. From the sun-drenched bossa nova rhythms of the Jobim classic "Wave" to a sophisticated rendition of Boz Scaggs' classic "Harbor Lights," finishing with the dreamy rhythms of "Endless Summer," the record is a masterclass in elegant funky arrangements and relaxed harmonies. As music journalist Paul Bowler writes in the liner notes for this release: "Summer-Time Love Song represents a fascinating bridge in Japanese pop history; a moment where the breezy aspirations of the '70s met the meticulous studio perfectionism that would soon take over the world." This deluxe edition features the original artwork, showcasing classic photography by the cult photographer Shinpei Asai -- famed for his iconic work on the Pacific album by Haruomi Hosono, Shigeru Suzuki, and Tatsuro Yamashita. Newly remastered, this reissue finally makes one of the most coveted albums of the 70s Japanese scene accessible to Japanese music fans worldwide.

"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."

"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."

Performed by members of Nuova Idea under a pseudonym, the record blends Hammond driven psych rock with film score influences, fuzz guitar and distinctive rhythmic motifs.

"Featuring Youth (Martin Glover), Gaudi, the late Lee 'Scratch' Perry, Kermit Leveridge (Black Grape), Don Letts, Dan Morrell and Planetman, the record blends dub, ambient textures, spoken word and ritual chant into a meditation on trees as cultural, spiritual and ecological anchors. The album's 'Vision Tree' artwork was originally created by Jamie Reid in the 1990s and revisited for this project, one of his final creative works. Courtesy of the Jamie Reid Estate and John Marchant Gallery, the image anchors the project in a lineage of British countercultural art, extending CHANT's environmental ethos into visual form. CHANT was formed by environmentalist Dan Morrell and producer Youth as a creative extension of Morrell's long-standing tree-planting initiatives. Released via new eco-label Balance Recordings, a proportion of funds from Relics of Tree Worship (In Dub) will support tree-planting initiatives, including projects located at the Bob Marley Mausoleum in Nine Mile, Jamaica -- linking recorded sound directly to living landscape and reggae's spiritual homeland. As a dub record, Relics of Tree Worship (In Dub) uses repetition, low-frequency depth and space as a form of meditation. Youth and Gaudi's production balances analogue warmth with expansive sound design, while contributions across the album bring history, myth and contemporary environmental urgency into dialogue. The project also marks one of the final creative appearances of Lee 'Scratch' Perry, whose legacy of sonic experimentation and spiritual subversion resonates throughout."

"Landscapes of Eternity is the profound result of a spiritual and musical quest undertaken by Naïssam Jalal across North India. After months spent walking sacred landscapes and studying under the legendary bansuri master Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia, the artist presents a repertoire where classical Hindustani music meets a deeply personal, contemporary vision. The album unfolds as a sonic tapestry, with each piece rooted in a specific Raga -- the melodic modes of Indian classical music -- corresponding to a particular time of day or sun position. From the dawn echoes of 'In the Rice Fields at Dawn' to the introspective 'Inner Landscape in Raag Kafi,' the music is anchored by the warm, enveloping harmonics of the tanpura. Naïssam Jalal's flute becomes the vehicle for this voyage, supported by a distinctive line-up featuring sarod, tablas, piano, and drums. Born from a period of extreme personal transformation, this project explores the capacity of time to accommodate eternity. Inspired by the 15th-century mystic poet Kabir and the philosophy of Alain Badiou, the work navigates the space between suffering and surrender, finding a state of inner peace where the self dissolves into the environment. More than a jazz or world music record, Landscapes of Eternity is a hymn of praise and gratitude. It is an invitation to a new way of listening to the world -- a song of prayer to the spirit that saves, and a vibrant testament to a wounded but resilient heart."

"The Courettes are back with their fourth and best album to date -- The Soul Of? The Fabulous Courettes. And this time, they're bigger, wider and deeper than ever before as they add more to the blistering ramalama that's seen them cause pandemonium across the venues, festivals and airwaves of the UK, Europe, USA and Japan. Hitting the sweet spot that straddles garage rock, girl groups, doo-wop harmonies, heartache and all points in between, here The Courettes build on the momentum of predecessor Back In Mono with a collection of songs that opens up their sonic scope while confronting dark, emotional matter to reveal 'The Soul Of The Fabulous Courettes'. Having evolved with each album release, The Soul Of? The Fabulous Courettes draws inspiration from many of the duo's numerous idols that have only previously been hinted at. 'We wanted to show our love of the Spector Wall Of Sound and Motown,' reveals Flavia. 'It was a clear mission and we've absolutely nailed it.'"

Since her 2019 album Four Fabienne has been working on tracks for her new album Indigo Red. This is her first album to be recorded at Gizzard Studios by Ed Deegan (ex Toe Rag Studios) at the controls and co-produced by Delsol and Deegan. It features a crack team of musicians including Thomas Gardner, Carwyn Ellis, and Bradley Burgess, and Rupert Brown. The album mixes new original songs with covers of songs by artists including Silver Apples, The Count Five, Sharon Tandy, and Francoise Hardy."

"Brand new artwork by Bruce Brand and a booklet with a look back from Thee Headcoatees themselves. 'There we were, sitting round a kitchen table coming up with ideas and tunes for Girlsville. 'Wild Man' - wow! 'Round Every Corner' (written for us by Billy), 'First Plane Home', a Kinks cover always played in the live set, as was 'Meet Jacqueline' (apparently penned by Albert Hammond, odd!) Every track was a winner, I think. Then we went to conquer the world with our albums Have Love Will Travel, Bozstik Haze (not purple!), and Punk Girls plus numerous 7-inch crackers. The fun we had until Here Comes Cessation. Well so we thought. Standing on Rochester Bridge, very chilly holding onto our uniform deerstalkers. 'Louis Riel' of course, not 'Louie Louie' was a great idea. 'My Boyfriend's Learning Karate' was an ode to Tetsuya in Japan. Then there is The Trogg's beautiful song 'Baby Come Closer' and 'Baby Please' written by Billy which could well be a Troggs song! Beautiful harmonies. 'You Can't Resist', always on the live set, is the "shag song" and the very psychedelic 'Gotta Get Inside That Boy's Mind' - dreamy! In this case Stanley the Terrier (left me a present as I remember). Photo location in beautiful Biddenden. There are some smashers on this one -- 'It's Bad' (Bongo) is terrifying! 'When You Stop Loving Me' (Kyra), again a staple in the live show, God she meant it! 'Again and Again', one of my fave Childish compositions, and a not bad rendition (if I say so myself) of the Pretty Things' 'You'll Never Do It Baby'. A great record, so off you go -- walkies! What are we wearing on the cover? That aside, wow! 'Ca Plane Pour Moi' -- fantastic! (well Kyra is Belgian). The marvelous 'Teenage Kicks' -- well done Bongo! 'Cara-Lin' is a little masterpiece too. 'Don't Wanna Hold Your Hand' -- well, why not?! I think you can say I've enjoyed revisiting these gems, hope you do."

"They Must Be Russians were an irreverent post-punk band from Sheffield, England, taking their name from a newspaper quote about the Sex Pistols' 'God Save the Queen.' The group initially consisted of Russ Russian (vocals and guitar), Paul Russian (vocals and guitar), Carl (bass), and Brendan (effects). With production help from their local friends in Cabaret Voltaire, they debuted with the Nellie the Elephant EP in mid-1979. Another single, 'Don't Try to Cure Yourself,' was released on Fresh over a year later. A self-titled full-length was released by First Floor in 1983, and the LP Groundless Accusations was issued through Native in 1985. A year later, a 12" called Red Square was released with two album tracks and two new songs which have been included on this release. The group's sound is classic new wave/post punk like that of many of their contemporaries, so if you like Cabaret Voltaire, The Box, Screaming Trees or The Darling Buds then you will love They Must Be Russians, too. The whole album has been remastered by Martin Bowes of Attrition and is released on CD for the very first time."

"Beyond the Beat is the debut album of Arthur Fussy (modular synthesizer) and Judith Schwarz (extended drums). Both make up 2/3 of the group Other:M:Other whose debut album was released on Klanggalerie. Arthur also works a lot for the theatre, and Judith plays in many bands, amongst others Gina Schwarz's Pannonica, Mel*E, PRCDR with Manu Mayr (another Klanggalerie release), ChuffDrone, and Little Rosies Kindergarten. Beyond the Beat is a rhythmic affair. Where does a bear start? When do the brain and conscience recognize a pattern? How abstract can a beat be to still be recognizable by the listener? Is rhythm a melody? Beyond the Beat explore the borders of rhythm and beat in a symbiosis of acoustic and electronic sounds. Get into their groove and marvel at the players virtuosity. An absolutely essential album at the border of jazz, electronic and avantgarde."

"Roma Amor is a neofolk/dark cabaret band from Italy. Their music is located somewhere between the melodic folk-inflected charm of the 1960s Italian songwriters and the cabaret swoon of French chansonniers, Roma Amor's music is instinctively romantic and sophisticated, and can be described as chanson noir or folk cabaret. Their self-titled debut album came out on Old Europa Cafe in 2008, followed by Femmina and Occhi Neri. In 2014, On The Wire was released on Klanggalerie, extending the line-up of the group by inviting guest musicians to perform, and extending also the sound to a more sophisticated pop orientated music. Two more albums followed in 2015 and 2018, and in 2022 a double CD was released, with one album being a re-issue of their classic Femmina, and the other being a complete previously unreleased album. Back To Dark is the band's brand-new long player. It is a dark slow rock album -- with hints of goth and doom, recorded at the beginning of 2026 in Italy. Of course you won't have to miss the band's trademark folk-cabaret style on this album either, but you also get a cover of Throbbing Gristle's 'Discipline.' A new direction added to the group's portfolio."

"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."

Gaku-no-michi, "Tao of music" or "Ways of music." Film without images for electronic and concrete sounds. Produced at the electronic music studio of NHK Radio, Tokyo 1977-78. Digitalized and revised version from 2006. Jean-Claude Eloy is a French composer, born in 1938. He studied at the Paris National Superior Conservatory of Music, where he won First Prizes in Piano, Chamber Music, Counterpoint, Ondes Martenot, and studied composition with Darius Milhaud. He attended summer courses at Darmstadt (Pousseur, Scherchen, Messiaen, Boulez, Stockhausen) and was a student in composition in Pierre Boulez' master class at the Music Academy in Basel (1961-1963). Works by Jean-Claude Eloy have been performed all over the world. "Pachinko" introduces "Tokyo" in a deliberately stiff, regular, almost mechanical and untranscended way while the big spiral of long successive waves, which further develops through Tokyo, becomes more and more varied in its material ending in the surpassing and searched-for transubstantiation taking place throughout the final part. The second disc, "Fushiki-e", takes listeners through varied, complex, contrasted and sometimes violent sound episodes towards the four "stages of contemplation" including the last one, "Mokuso", which represents the ultimate stage of the contemplative. It is the longest part of the whole piece, lasting almost 80 minutes. "Banbutsu no Ryûdô" is a boundless continuous "weft" travelling so to say through all sorts of daily or exceptional "sound scenes" continually metamorphosing, going from political speeches to a Shishi Odoshi, transformed for a long time well before its pure, direct appearance. "Kaiso" is a moment of gravity innervated and built around the annual commemorative ceremony of Hiroshima, which however leads listeners beyond the evoked drama to a place of surpassing with peace through the "Han" sound, extending the work to infinity.

Shânti (1972-73) for electronic and concrete sounds. Electronic music studio, WDR, Cologne, Germany, 1972-73. Digitalized and revised version from 2001. "The term 'meditation music' triggered many conflicting comments including positive ones. Others, wondering at the strong sound presence of the piece, consider such aspect as hardly helpful to their own meditation. What meditates here is the composer. He is the one who takes you on his journey and guides you through his work like in a classic or romantic symphony. As a listener you are invited to follow 'his' meditation. The composition is the meditation."

"The Underground Set is a cult Italian psychedelic and early progressive instrumental album originally released in 1970 and produced by Gianfranco Reverberi. Performed by members of Nuova Idea under a pseudonym, the record blends Hammond driven psych rock with film score influences, fuzz guitar and distinctive rhythmic motifs. Long sought after by collectors of Italian rock and European soundtrack adjacent recordings, the album stands as one of the strongest examples of the era's 'psychploitation' sound. This re-issue edition preserves the original material while presenting it to a new audience discovering early Italian progressive music."

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.'"

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."

"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.

RELEASE DATE: 7/10/2026
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.

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.

The band formed in 2020 and released a cassette titled EP in late 2022. 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. Go Public would fit nicely next to Maximum Joy, ESG, Liquid Liquid, and James Chance."

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
