Formalibera presents a previously unreleased LP edition by Hugh Steinmetz including the first recording of "Afrodisiaca." Recorded a year before the Cadentia Nova Danica version issued by Tchicai on the legendary LP on MPS, the recording presented here was done with the Danish Radio Jazz Group, is longer in duration and even wilder in approach. Side B features three more previously unreleased and very experimental tracks, also recorder with the Danish Radio Jazz Group during the 1960s. Radical music with tape manipulations, repetitive minimalistic ostinatos, brutal fadings, extreme tape speedings. This LP edition includes an insert with liner notes by Mats Gustafsson.
"Steinmetz was one of very few Scandinavian musicians who actually travelled south and collaborated with European musicians in the late '60s. To interact with other musicians is KEY. The Danes did it. Early on. They went there. As creative magnets looking for artists to share the moment with. In my world. He is a legend. And a key to understand the early developments of free jazz. The possibilities given to Steinmetz by the leader of the Danish Radio Jazz Group, Erik Moseholm, created chances to explore and to experiment. In a studio situation with a large hand-picked band and time to rehearse. Ideas and perspectives grabbing the moment. Presented on this vinyl are different occasions where Steinmetz was working with The Danish Radio Jazz Group in various settings and situations. Different ideas tried out and realized with endless support of Moseholm. Radical jazz music in large settings. Those times were WILD! Steinmetz was given the chance. And he used it. The collection of pieces presented on this album makes my jaw fall into my lap. Makes me breathe without lungs. Makes me sweat." --Mats Gustafsson, April 2026

RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026
Following the acclaimed previous album Transcend, which seamlessly traversed experimental electronics and obscure techno-infused structures, Frederic Arbour returns with his most daring and transformative work to date. Leavings marks a decisive departure from established forms. Where its predecessor gradually evolved through recognizable rhythmic frameworks and narrative progression, this new album ventures into increasingly abstract territories, dissolving conventional structures in favor of fluid movement, instinctive composition, and perpetual transformation. Across nine expansive pieces, Arbour explores the threshold between rhythm and abstraction. Pulses emerge only to fragment. Patterns suggest direction before evaporating into vast textural environments. The result is a body of work that embraces ambiguity, inviting listeners into a space where certainty is abandoned and exploration becomes the guiding principle. The album's title carries multiple resonances. Leavings suggests remnants, traces, and fragments left behind after a process of transformation. It evokes both departure and residue, the echoes of former identities, structures, and creative languages that persist even as new forms emerge. Throughout the album, sounds appear as artifacts in motion, suspended between memory and reinvention. Textures drift between shadow and illumination, density and emptiness. Moments of fragile beauty emerge from complex layers of sound, only to recede again into abstraction. A quiet tension permeates the work, the sensation of crossing invisible thresholds while navigating territories that resist fixed definition. Neither a continuation nor a rejection of previous works, Leavings stands as a document of transition. It captures the fertile space between dissolution and creation, where familiar forms are relinquished and unforeseen possibilities begin to take shape. With Leavings, Purgate enters a new phase of artistic evolution, crafting an immersive and deeply evocative work that transcends genre boundaries while remaining rooted in the project's enduring fascination with atmosphere, depth, and transformation. A compelling journey through shifting sonic architectures, Leavings reveals Frederic Arbour at his most adventurous and uncompromising, embracing uncertainty not as an obstacle, but as a path toward discovery. CD edition of 200 copies in 4 panel Digipak.

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

LP version. This compilation brings together eight tracks by Yassine Nana and his group, recorded between 1984 and 1989, during a key moment in Mauritania's musical history. A central figure of one of the country's most respected musical families, Yassine stands at the crossroads of a long-standing tradition and a period of deep transformation in form, sound and production. Recorded in Mauritania as well as during stays in Paris and Rabat, these songs integrate drum machines, synthesizers and electric guitars into Saharan musical structures. Influenced by reggae, soul and new wave, the group develops a sound that reflects the circulation of music and technology in the 1980s, while remaining firmly rooted in Mauritanian languages, themes and melodic systems. Love, travel, exile and music itself run through lyrics sung in Hassaniya and classical Arabic. Originally released on cassette and long confined to local circulation, these recordings offer a rare perspective on African popular music of the period, seen from Nouakchott. A body of work that documents a Mauritanian modernity, both popular and exploratory, now brought back into circulation by Les Disques Bongo Joe and Sofa Records.

The first encounter between Felix Kubin and Bound By Endogamy dates back to March 7, 2024, during a Bongo Joe night at Petit Bain in Paris. BBE performed their debut LP, while Felix presented Cell with Hubert Zemler. Later that year, they reunited at Kalabalik på Tyrolen, realizing how much they shared musically. In 2025, invitations crossed paths: BBE performed at Papiripar Festival in Hamburg, then Felix spent time in Geneva. At Shlomo's studio, machines were synced, knobs twisted, natural wine poured, and improvisations recorded. Felix shaped the material into two instrumental drafts and sent them to Geneva. BBE reworked them, adding vocals. A series of tight exchanges between Hamburg and Geneva followed until the final form emerged. The 7" was then mastered by Gavin Weiss.

Across four tracks, Robag Wruhme creates a world where rhythm and atmosphere constantly shape one another. The arrangements are rich with detail, yet nothing competes for attention. Even in the densest passages, every sound feels deliberate. 'Olahni' opens patiently, with ghostly textures and hypnotic vocal fragments setting the tone before the bassline slowly comes into focus. 'Ifthah' takes things into darker territory, driven by a heavy rolling bassline and a looping motif that never quite loosens its grip, adding weight without disrupting the flow. On 'Fumaxohn,' the groove remains tight while the mood shifts. 'Pentho' closes the EP in its most direct form. Stripped back and driving, it lands with quiet confidence, bringing the journey to a close while holding onto the hypnotic tension.

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

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

"Horace Andy started his career when he was 16 years old with his first hit 'Black Man Country.' His music was produced by many, including Studio One, Clocktower Records, and many others. Songs that became some of his best hits were 'Skylarking,' 'You Are My Angel,' 'Love of a Woman' and many others.

RELEASE DATE: 8/21/2026
Figure marks its latest chapter with X54, a gripping new EP from French production talent KUSS. Known for his meticulous work with hypnotic rhythms and tactile textures, his debut release for the label thrives in the darker, more introspective corners of the club. X54 is a perfect example of tension-building-balancing forward-thinking sound design with the kind of dancefloor efficiency that Figure is known for. The record also features two collaborations with Clotur. Together, they create a sound that feels both surgically clean and sonically massive. Built for the late-night hours and the depths of the club, X54 is an uncompromising addition to the Figure catalog.

"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."

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

Klaus Kotai, a Viennese who had made Berlin his home, found a receptive audience in Cologne as early as the mid-'90s with his records on Elektro Music Department. Then came the 2000s, an exciting era for club music, rich in innovation and characterized above all by the burgeoning genres of minimal and electro clash. In 2002, Kotai's Sucker DJ was released, featuring the brilliant remix by Marcin "Highfish" Kozlowski, on WMF Records. A true hit that struck a perfect balance between both worlds and was played across genres by virtually every DJ. Exactly 20 years after the last re-release on Elektro Music Department, it's now time for Sucker DJ to make a comeback.

Paired Works is a double EP by Justine Perry and Paula Koski, developed in parallel within the same time and environment. Evolving through years of shared surroundings and creative exchange, the record emerges as a natural extension of that connection. Produced separately, the tracks document two distinct inner worlds shaped through proximity. Justine Perry leans into deep, hypnotic forms, while Paula Koski moves through dubby and spacious structures driven by texture. Across four sides, the record shifts between focused, forward-moving passages and more atmospheric moments, creating a subtle push and pull. Rather than settling into one singular moment on the dancefloor, it stretches across the shifting phases of a long club night. Timeless and elegant in its approach, Paired Works marks the debut release on Ostgut Ton for both artists.

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

"'Navajo White' is a color. It's the color of an off white, interior, house paint. Throughout his teens into adulthood, John Reis was as a house painter by trade. The soiled walls of evacuated apartments were his canvas. Here he would cover up the residue of life's stains with a fresh coat of the beige, human white-out that is Navajo White. Amongst the vacated, drywall chambers littered with the scant detritus of a fleeing existence is where this record began. It started as road noise, a repetitious hum of a fictional dialogue. A languageless, argument of noise that took shape as a disconnect between two people. They are both barricaded by an impenetrable surface tension that harbors the distortion of their prolonged isolation from the world beyond their self-imposed exile. For all that can't be solved or thrown away here's a thick coat of Navajo White to cover your tracks as if to say 'we were never here and this never happened.' This is the fifth Swami John Reis album and features Jason Kourkounis (Hot Snakes, Delta 72, Night Marchers) on drums as well as contributions from Rick Froberg (Hot Snakes, Drive Like Jehu, Obits) on guitar, Gar Wood (Hot Snakes, Tanner, Night Marchers) on bass, Joe Guevara (Jejune, Swami and the Bed Of Nails) on piano and keyboards and Rob Crow (Pinback, PLOSIVS) and Jacob Turnbloom (Mrs. Magician) on backing vocals. Taking musical cues from later period Wipers, the more low-key Saints songs, early recordings of The Church as well as The Damned on their Black Album, Navajo White pits sentiment vs the unsentimental. Recorded by John Reis at City of Refuge, San Diego with additional recording and mixing by Ben Moore at Singing Serpent and mastered by Dave Gardner at DSG Mastering. This record is dedicated to house painters everywhere."

"I Will Die In This Jean Jacket is a testimony of how the lines between commitment and attachments are often blurred. It is the new gloom-punk project from Jim Blaha (The Blind Shake, Green/Blue). Blaha has collaborated with luminaries including Michael Yonkers, John Reis, Shannon Selberg, Dale Flattum, and Zak Sally and has released records on Goner, Castle Face, Dirtnap, Hozac, Feel It, Slovenly and Swami. On Hang From A Cloud he concludes over three years of artistic solitude by heading back into the basement to create in an even deeper state of isolation. Formed in Minneapolis this past December, the late-night sessions gradually revealed a concept: capturing the feeling he had from the mixtapes a friend used to make during their teenage skateboarding years -- where late '70s post punk sat comfortably alongside the more exposed underground sounds of the '80s and '90s and every song seemed to come from the same hazy, imaginary city somewhere far, far away. Recording onto a 1/4" tape machine and mixing everything down to the all-important cassette, Blaha emerged with an indiffussable sound. Hang From A Cloud is a long-lost pirate radio transmission from an alternate 1980s universe. The album is entirely analog by design. Guitars, vocals, drums, drum machines and bass all captured on cobbled together equipment in a cinder block bunker on a frigid Midwest, winter night. There is a one-dimensional resonance with a sheen of distortion and rust that is betrayed by the direct and simplistic beauty of the songwriting. Hang From A Cloud is a no-fi, DIY treasure that transports the listener to a parallel dimension where The Go Betweens, The Clean, The Jesus And Mary Chain, New Order, Guided By Voices, and Flip Your Wig-era Hüsker Dü are cherished and celebrated the same."

To mark 50 years of punk, Ventil Verlag is publishing a song comic featuring outstanding tracks from the German punk scene. Tapete Records is accompanying this release with a compilation of early German-language punk, focusing on the years between 1979 and 1986 -- the years when the world was still coming to an end. With a total of 14 tracks, the compilation showcases just how exciting and diverse early German punk sounded. By the late seventies, punk had arrived in Germany, and more and more cities saw the emergence of bands, record stores, fanzines, labels, clubs, and scenes. Self-criticism followed close behind: as early as 1981, the liner notes to the compilation Paranoia in der Straßenbahn observed "negative tendencies" caused by punk's popularity and resulting dilution, and regarding 1983 they stated: "This year must be regarded as the end of the first great phase of punk in Germany. With few exceptions, fanzines, records, and concerts are no longer bringing anything new." Whether such sweeping criticism holds up in light of bands like Angeschissen, Die Goldenen Zitronen, EA80, or Mutter is another question, but this compilation nevertheless focuses on the early years of German-language punk. Featuring Der KFc, Fehlfarben, Östro 430, Slime, Rotzkotz, Bärchen und die Milchbubis, Brausepöter, Male, Schleim-Keim, S.Y.P.H., Hans-A-Plast, Torpedo Moskau, Der Moderne Man, and The Wirtschaftswunder.

Delayed... "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.

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.

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.

LP version. "Mabe Fratti is a Guatemalan cellist, vocalist, and composer based in Mexico City, celebrated for her experimental yet deeply melodic work.

Melbourne DIY/shimmer-pop 5-piece in the vein of the Feelies, the Vaselines, and the Clean. Limited pressing of 500 copies worldwide with printed inner sleeve and download card. Recorded by Alex Macfarlane and mastered by Mikey Young. Season 2 formed in late 2024, bringing together seasoned Melbourne musicians with previous and current projects including Parsnip, The Stroppies, and Phil and the Tiles. The five piece, comprising Carolyn Hawkins, Claudia Serfaty, Charlotte Zarb, Freya McLeod, and Matt Powell, quickly set to work writing winsome, DIY, shimmer-pop hits that careen through your mind in a gratifying dizzy rush. With a clear collective vision and little time to waste, Season 2 spent 2025 writing and recording, appearing live only a handful of times. Finally the band are primed for their debut release, a full-length album entitled Power of Now. Power of Now is a cerebral explosion of melody, hooks, drones and rhythm. In the vein of The Feelies, The Vaselines and The Clean, Season 2 have whipped up a sonic whirlwind. It's a giddy thrill of snappy slap, catchy gang vocals and crystalline guitar refrains. "Abundance of Power" is a bittersweet bop of ponderous bass, crisp chord flashes and grounded vocals that dwell on slighted futures and bored realities. "Becomes a Dream" is a delirious race of scrappy strumming and flying phrases that unsettle as much as they pinball endorphins. Season 2 do sparky well, their songs are instant rewards, tunnelling into your subconscious and testing the dance floor. They keep everything moving, the beat and the conversation. Season 2 sound barely controlled and all the better for it, you have no choice but to be swept up. Power of Now was recorded by Alex Macfarlane (The Green Child, Chateau) and mastered by Mikey Young.

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

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

Black Truffle presents Even Colder Spring, the latest release from the mysterious and wildly prolific Cities Aviv (a.k.a. Wilbert Gavin Mays, who also records as African-American Sound Recordings), a rare appearance from the artist outside his own D.O.T. Audio Arts label. For over a decade, Cities Aviv has twisted hip-hop conventions into the most skewed and splayed forms, layering and lacerating twitching loops, extreme production techniques and his mercurial vocal stylings into hermetic décollage. Across 16 tracks, Even Colder Spring charts Mays' restlessly experimental approach: what sound like fully formed productions are interrupted suddenly after seconds; interjections of field recordings cue unexpected shifts; details drown under layers of fuzz. His vocal delivery takes in rhythmically intricate rap, barely articulate murmurs and freely melodic song, the latter often with a disorientating lack of connection to the track's harmonies. The lyrical shifts are as paratactical as the musical movements. Apocalyptic visions of social and cultural uniformity alternate with reflections on mortality, glimpses of everyday life and head-scratching one-liners: "Maybe Mars is bougie?" His reference points are as surprising as ever, the Dante quotes of previous releases joined here by a tracked named after Henri Bergson's idea of the élan vital. Australian listeners, in particular, might be especially taken aback to hear "Closing Door" open with the phrase "the tyranny of distance." While Mays' work can sometimes be claustrophobically bleak, the productions here are often sparkling, at times touching on the shimmer of private-issue New Age sounds and the more playful end of krautrock. The instrumental "Martine Drift" could almost be a snatch of Cluster's Zuckerzeit caught through dial-up internet. The distant echoing drums of "L_area" cross Persona's Som with lo-fi IDM, while closer "Final Heaven" dissolves a cloud of loops across almost seven minutes into ecstatic, rippling distortion. The graphic design, at the artist's request closely modelled on the format of Corwood Industries, offers as good a clue as any to what awaits the listener on Even Colder Spring: a world at once impossibly opaque and intensely personal.

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

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

Chrome -- the element, not the album -- is shiny, reflective, resistant to corrosion. Chrome the album's got that too: in hard-springing rock strung with lyrically allusive passages moving furtive and bleak through labyrinthine paths in the darkness. Joining social phenomena and autobiographical dream imagery in song-sequenced, head-snapping flashes, hitting left/right hemispheres fast and furiously. In massive riffs and thudding power in the rhythm core, twin-guitar attack and parry, tightly arrayed lines of fuzz distortion, keyboard textures of bright and thickness. All mixed immediate and flexible, colorful and clean, spicy-sweet, with Ty's vocals of vinegar and sand, wine and grains of silver nitrate, pointing the way. That's Chrome. The band came together fast and hard, their five heads writing half the songs here, with others featuring Ty and Evan collabing, Matt Yoka and Denée Segall writing some too. Accounting for its high-performing social nature and hot rocks. Its guitars slammed immaculate, big waves and dark apocolypto energy bonfires on the beach, from proto to punk to grunch, projected from the crowd-sourced energy of their mind-meld to shake the cages of the larger collective beyond.

Privately pressed in Scotland in 1974, Captain Marryat is one of the great lost rarities of British progressive hard-rock. Issued in an edition of just 150-200 copies on the band's own Thor label and sold only at gigs, the album disappeared almost immediately, later becoming one of the rarest and most sought-after private press LPs of the era. Named after 19th-century novelist and seafarer Captain Frederick Marryat, the Glaswegian band evolved from a hard-rock trio into a five-piece featuring Tommy Hendry (vocals), Ian McEleny (guitar), Allan Bryce (organ), Hugh Finnegan (bass) and Jimmy Rorrison (drums). Originally planning to record only a single, they found themselves with enough studio time to capture a full album, recording five original songs before closing the session with the improvised instrumental "Dance Of Thor." Deeply inspired by the organ-driven power of Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, and Beggars Opera, Captain Marryat played a powerful blend of progressive rock and heavy psych. Dominated by thunderous Hammond organ, raw guitar solos and strong melodic vocals, the album ranges from the dramatic opener "Blindness" to the epic eight-minute "It Happened To Me," the more accessible "Changes," and the explosive instrumental finale "Dance Of Thor." Although the band built a solid reputation on the Scottish pub circuit, the lack of label interest brought their career to an end in 1975. Their sole album, however, has only grown in stature, earning cult status among collectors and fans of early-'70s progressive heavy rock. Featuring remastered sound. Includes insert with liner notes, photos, and download card.

Released as a private pressing in 1968, Song Of A Gypsy has grown from an obscure self-released album into one of the most coveted psychedelic records ever made. Revered by collectors as the "Holy Grail" of psych, original copies now command thousands of dollars -- but its legendary status rests not on rarity alone. The music remains as captivating today as it was over half a century ago. A singular blend of psychedelic rock, Eastern influences and mystical songwriting, Song Of A Gypsy weaves floating Arabic melodies, finger cymbals, hand percussion, shimmering fuzz guitar and Damon's unmistakable, haunting vocals into a deeply spiritual listening experience. Its songs explore love, loss and the search for meaning with a sincerity that continues to amaze. Behind the music was David del Conte, better known as Damon The Gypsy. After performing around Southern California in the early 1960s, personal struggles led him to abandon the club circuit in search of a different path. Settling in Big Sur, his life took an unexpected turn when an impromptu encounter and jam session with George Harrison and Ravi Shankar inspired the distinctive five-string guitar tuning and Eastern-tinged sound that became the foundation of Song Of A Gypsy. Recorded with guitarist Charlie Carey and a small circle of friends, the album was privately issued on Damon's own Ankh label in an edition believed to total of a few hundred copies across two sleeve variations (single white cover and black gatefold leather textured). With virtually no promotion or distribution, most copies were simply given to friends and family. Decades later, the record was rediscovered by legendary collectors Veronica Breth and Paul Major, sparking a worldwide cult following. Its growing reputation eventually led to acclaimed reissues by Shadoks in 1998, Guerssen Records in 2005 and Now-Again in 2010. Damon himself remained humbled by the album's remarkable journey, calling its success "a mystery" after years of obscurity. Damon passed away in 2016, but Song Of A Gypsy endures as a timeless masterpiece, one of the most extraordinary and original recordings of the psychedelic era. Featuring original artwork (single white cover variant) and remastered sound with pitch corrected. Includes insert with liner notes and photos.

Oath presents Honey Tangerine, the newest mini-album from producer extraordinaire Olsvangèr, who serves up his signature blend of hyper-kinetic, ever-shifting dance music. Olsvangèr's sound and musical journey are forever rooted in the liminal spaces that make up the broad-reaching and ever-shifting electronic music landscape, with his records consistently channeling that in-betweenness that imprints lasting impressions. A classically trained musician with a profound passion for house and techno, Olsvangèr's sonic palette is one of both broad and delicate brush strokes, applying an array of compelling motifs within amorphous arrangements that blend and blur perspectives. His records seek out the faraway fringes as much as focusing on the intensity found in the detail, creating cavernous soundscapes that are impeccably tuned and effortlessly free-flowing. Seemingly genreless, his records are anchored in all that is known and loved, yet due to the music's perspective situated at the intersectionality of electronica, a beautiful anticipation resides within every stanza of his tracks at what may come next. Honey Tangerine touches upon the classic motifs of Olsvangèr's sound, and as always, the room for growth within the record's parameters remains truly endless. Over six tracks, Olsvangèr lays bare the directions of travel, with paths unravelling that feel well-trodden yet with some that branch out towards new horizons. Whether softly undulating or boundlessly expressive, Olsvangèr's music remains a beautiful enigma that serves up both the glorious knowns and the captivating unknowns -- Honey Tangerine is yet another chapter in his glorious discography.

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

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

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

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

"Back in print on new pink vinyl. The architects of a wicked toxibilly sound, The Cramps boast a cultural impact that spawned a legion of devil cults and left in its wake a cavalcade of cave-stomping imitators. On their final studio album, the self-produced Fiends of Dope Island, these charm-school rejects apply their sinister handiwork to a volatile combination of incantational rock 'n' roll hexes like 'Big Black Witchcraft Rock' and 'Papa Satan Sang Louie' and put their hoodlum warp on exotica standard 'Taboo' before swerving and careening through the crypt-kickin' blues rave-ups 'Dopefiend Boogie' and 'Wrong Way Ticket,' finishing with the musical equivalent of a 13-car pile-up."

Celebrating its 25th anniversary in style, Eskimo Recordings presents Matured Sinners: a special collab between key artists Blende and NTEIBINT to mark their silver jubilee. Hypnotic disco beats, sinuous synths, squawking sine waves and almost queasily blissful sighs with a cautionary tale of drugs, flying saucer cults and a spiral deeper and deeper into sin and moral ruin.

Acid Pauli returns to the curious world of Gwar Is Not The Answer (originally released 2006 on Smaul) with a carefully remastered re-release that includes two new remixes from Jonathan Kaspar and Acid Pauli. The title track unfolds at an unhurried pace, weaving loose acid traces through warm percussion and off-center melodic fragments that seem to appear and dissolve before settling into place. With his new remix Jonathan Kaspar takes the original into leaner territory, sharpening its contours and drawing out its tension while preserving the peculiar character at its core. On the flip Acid Pauli revisits the track from a different angle.

They say you've got to take your ups with your downs, but that's only because "they" haven't heard Ups, the second LP by The Flying Hats, which is all ups and no downs whatsoever. The album arrives little more than a year after debut long player The Return of the Flying Hats and mere months after the release of an instant classic 45 single featuring non-album tracks "The Blender" and "Hot Cakes." So it's fair to say that Ups finds the band riding the crest of an extremely funky Hammond-infused retro-reggae wave. Indeed, it's tempting to say not just "riding the crest of" but "increasing said wave's actual mass" -- for the new set delivers a second floor-shaking helping of a sound that joins the dots between Aggrovators-style reggae and Meters-style funk. Opener "Lightning Bottle" kicks off with an introductory drum-fill that briefly nods to a certain Dawn Penn classic before settling into a heavy, mid-tempo, Hammond-led riddim providing instant appeal for those who lean more towards the Bunny Lee/'70s side of things. The same can be said of a trio of easy-rolling bubblers consisting of "Pinball" -- a brisk number near the start of the album's second half -- along with the wistful beauty of "So Long" and "Step Up," which close the album. Those who prefer reggae that evokes the Kingston "Sound of '69," however, will salivate over the balance of tracks which deliver no fewer than five such cuts tempered with a fat slice of New Orleans sass, reveling in deliriously joyful Hammond melodies and funky backbeats, while maintaining that offbeat reggae rhythm. "Kick About," "Double Up," and "Market Day" provide up-tempo bounce, while the clattery syncopated drums on the stripped-back skank of "Stout" and the absolutely gorgeous Hammond-funky/ boss-reggae groove of "Traffic Light" provide something a little more loose-limbed. If Allen Toussaint and The Meters had upped sticks and relocated to Kingston (or Bunny Lee and Jackie Mittoo had moved to the Big Easy) in the early '70s, it would have sounded like this.

It is virtually impossible to describe with mere words how emotionally powerful this work of art is. Just listen. A blissed-out 80-minute epic, Hatchback's Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon is his magnum opus, a sprawling masterwork that encompasses ambient, new age and environmental music to wondrous effect. Moving, hypnotic and deeply meditative, it's FFO Mike Brooks, Deuter, Klaus Weiss, Innovative Communication, Harmonia, Cluster, Ashra's New Age of Earth, Stomu Yamashta, Haruka Nakamura, Yoshimura, Hosono, the works. A record truly deserving of the deluxe Be With treatment, the vinyl was specially cut at Abbey Road Studios whilst the original stunning artwork has been pleasingly expanded. Now, an eye-catching holographic-foil layer moon is set against the original tones, wrapped up in a sumptuous double-gatefold jacket. Soaked in Californian consciousness and limited to a run of just 500 copies for the world, this release is a treasured balm like no other for these troubled times. Hatchback is the atmospheric, melodious ambient alias of California-based artist Samuel Milton Grawe. Sam creates music that sings of the Cosmos, full of deep resonant tones, glistening arpeggios, lush pads and harmonic motifs. "When I first was getting into the creative side of music making in my teens, I was heavily influenced by concept albums like Quadrophenia and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, as well as epic pieces that took up an entire side of a record: Pink Floyd's 'Echoes', Yes' 'Close To The Edge,' Klaus Schulze's 'Nowhere Now Here,' Miles Davis' 'Shhh/Peaceful' and 'He Loved Him Madly.' In the extreme, these ideas coalesced in double albums where each side of each record is occupied by a single title -- Yes' 'Tales From Topographic Oceans' and Tangerine Dream's 'Zeit' being primary examples. When I returned to making music after moving back to Northern California in 2020, the first piece I recorded landed around the 20-minute mark, and the idea of creating three other long pieces to realize a full album felt like a natural -- if indulgent -- goal. From there, each new piece followed sequentially. Four songs. My fourth album.' Phaser For The Ocean, Chorus For The Moon is a pure expression, informed by a lifetime of deep listening unbound by algorithms or AI. These are songs for the sunrise and the sunset -- and every color in between.

UK techno lynchpin James Ruskin celebrates 30 years of Blueprint with a remastered edition of his Further Design LP. Founded by Ruskin and Richard Polson in 1996, the influential label has spent three decades documenting uncompromising techno through releases from the likes of Rommek, Kr!z, Truncate, and many more, with Further Design originally landing in 1998. The anniversary celebrations have already seen Mark Broom revisit seminal Regis recordings on the Power Is Neutral EP, with further releases from Kerrie, Nastia, and more. James Ruskin has been a constant presence in techno for over three decades. He defined the sound of British techno through his DJ sets, productions, and the releases on his influential Blueprint label. His stripped-back, functional, and forward-thinking sound has remained utterly uncompromising, with performances at clubs and festivals around the world while never straying from underground ideals. Substance over trends has always been his MO, through a catalogue spanning Blueprint, Tresor, and numerous collaborations that remain timeless. The purposeful titles of the tracks on this essential album hint at the minimalist approach to sound. It is testament to Ruskin's original vision that Further Design remains as evocative today as it was upon its release, full of otherworldly imagery and grooves that continue to move dance floors around the world.

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

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

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

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

Klara Lewis' distinctive talent for disfiguring sound into forms that remain recognizably song-like reaches a new peak here. Her new album Opening is a deceptive recording with veiled melodies and clandestine bangers. Lewis, creator of worlds, treats music as a mirror that reflects a perspective misaligned with the real image. Her music moves in unusual and often startling ways. Acoustic instruments such as ukulele and piano are subjected to processes of deconstruction and reconstruction, their original forms continually reshaped. The tracks within Opening offer an array of disorientating tactics; damaged field recordings are suddenly sliced into ominous rhythmical patterns whilst deceptively simple tactics provide foreboding dread. Often alien on entry, the progression of a piece can land in a surprising tenderness, or the other way around. The momentum grows as a physical state but also one which is questioning, desiring, encapsulating a feeling, to explore a further way of expression and ultimately connecting: A new closeness, a new perspective. Opening is an album in which the protagonist's manipulation of sonic matter seems to extend beyond the music itself, resulting in a corresponding manipulation of the active listener. Sounds shift, dissolve, and re-emerge in altered forms, creating an experience that feels both intimate and disorienting. Lewis maintains a delicate balance between abstraction and emotional immediacy, drawing the listener into a world where familiar musical gestures are constantly reconfigured in surprising ways. The works on Opening are refracted through an exploratory and transformative lens, suggesting an artist continuing to redefine the possibilities of musical language as a space where the instantaneous and the eternal come together. Music by Klara Lewis. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu. Cut by Andreas Kauffelt at Schnittstelle, Berlin. Artwork by Klara Lewis.

Edena Gardens unleash their most expansive work to date. Quintessence is structured in four parts as a Magnum Opus -- the ancient alchemical process of transformation. But this is not a work of high fantasy. It is a seismic meditation. A study of deep time, weighted matter, and the crushing gravity of change. Quintessence is massive. 79+ minutes of tethered magnitude, carved into six sprawling tracks. The trio pushes further down into the void, discovering new dimensions. Each piece allows the form to stretch. To break its own boundaries. Shifting terrains and unpredictable geometry. The core remains unhurried: A slow, relentless, unabridged crawl. This sort of alchemy demands patience, allowing every sonic mutation to breathe, shift, and solidify in a new atmosphere. Recorded by Jonas Munk (Causa Sui), the sound is rooted in a natural, anchored production, as if the band is right in front of you: Causa Sui drummer Jakob Skøtt drives the pulse and adds ghostly, sparse treatment to the mix. Nicklas Sørensen (Papir) weaves angular guitar geometry over the deep sediment of Martin Rude's bass and baritone strings. Martin also supplies the original artwork, spreading across four panels colored by Jakob Skøtt: A work in its own right. The final work is a massive, physical expanse: Their Quintessence.

Limited-edition sunburst color vinyl, housed in gatefold jacket with UV spot varnish with printed innersleeves and exterior screen-printed PVC bag. Amelie Lens' debut album Aura is the first full-length studio album to come from the Belgian artist despite being one of the most respected and sought-after acts in electronic music today. Of the album, Amelie says: "Aura is my story. Aura is about the connection between the crowd and me. Music has always been my escape, my way of turning my emotions and energy into something new. When I was younger, I would disappear into nightclubs and create my own world in my head. Being in the nightclubs gave me this feeling of belonging somewhere, I felt connection and freedom I had never experienced before. That feeling changed my life completely. So this album really reflects that whole journey. From playing tiny local clubs and driving myself through the night for gigs, to standing on huge festival stages, becoming a mother, building EXHALE and learning how to balance it all in life. I wanted Aura to feel emotional but still powerful, uplifting but raw. From big festival tracks to the trippy tracks I'd play at 4am at RSO. Although making this album is one of the biggest things I have ever done in my life, I wanted to keep it light and somehow playful. Because that is also how I am as a person. This is the most honest version of myself I've ever shared. I hope it brings some light, happiness and connection to others as it does to me. Because Aura is and always will be about my connection to you." The album consists of 11 brand new tracks, all produced by Lens.

Catholics Against Architecture is the name Chris Connelly has given this project that here collects twelve songs crafted from sonic collages, spoken word, fractured melodies, vocals not far removed from those that David Bowie traded some of his best songs on, rivulets of subdued noise and seemingly random location recordings, tender guitar work, tape manipulation and all kinds of other sounds either in between or beyond. Together, these compositions sit outside convention and pay little regard to whatever the so-called zeitgeist may or may not happen to be. If anything, they draw from his own wonderfully rich past, beginning with his co-founding of avant-garde post-punk outfit Finitribe and moving on through his involvement with Revolting Cocks and various other Al Jourgensen-helmed groups before joining Martin Atkins' ambitious Pigface project and then more or less operating as an artist under his own name. In the decades since he began his artistic career in the early '80s, he has maintained this experimental disposition while embracing everything from art-pop and rock to the industrial noise he first cut his teeth on. To place him in a comfortable box would do nothing but serve his defiant temperament some kind of injustice. Columns is no exception. It's an album that incorporates many ideas and keeps moving while still somehow magically adding up to a whole that gels and seems to make perfect sense. From its occasionally lo-fi stature (due to being recorded on antiquated reel to reel and various cassette players in a state of disrepair) to its jittery blend of free jazz, tone poetry, labyrinthine textural currents and found sounds, passages of hiss and mature songcraft, it points to an artist perfectly at ease with his position as somebody capable of juggling many ideas. Thematically bound to an anti-religion stance which makes sense in these especially turbulent times where rampant polarization is galvanized by religion as well as politics, Columns stands as a testament to something that can never be compounded enough. The title itself, replete with ironic quotation marks, subtly refers to the columns found within churches as well as the columns of smoke generated by religious war. Ultimately, the album witnesses an artist continuing to explore new trajectories, further prod at ideas that perhaps already presented themselves, and remain true to his place as someone far more than the sum of his parts.

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

"Fifty years after I first encountered the music of Orchid Spangiafora, it is a pleasure to be listening to new work by this most bonny of modern sound manipulators. Like Flee Pasts Ape Elf, which we reissued in expanded form in 2013, Eel Asp Flays Feet (the title of which is an anagram of the earlier set) is an assemblage of immaculate invention. It manages to produce a unique splotch of confusing analog surrealism in an increasingly digital world, and Robert Carey (aka Orchid himself) deigned to provide these notes on creating the music: 'This album is a combination of some new material and ideas and some older stuff that had not found its way into a tangible (non-online) form. 'Syllabus,' 'Dyad,' and 'Retroscope' were an attempt to return to an older style of electronic music. I put these on bandcamp, but they did not attract much attention. In mid-2021, David Greenberger provided me with the voice recordings he had made for the Everybody's Home project he did with Tyson Rogers. He asked if there was something I could do with them. I put together 'Holding Pattern' and 'In A Fog.' These two pieces might be considered the 'dub version' of Everybody's Home. I put them on Bandcamp as 'Nobody's Home.' The rest were originally made up of typical Orchid snippets. When I first took an electronic music course in 1972 one of the things that struck me about tape loops was how readily they produced interesting rhythms. Since then I got more into selecting them for the rhythm, but rather than repeating I tried to convey it in a single shot followed by slightly modified versions. In a number of these pieces I tried returning to actually repeating phrases enough to hear the natural rhythm of each loop. The mechanical sounds combined with vocal loops in, for example, 'Interlude One,' probably were influenced by the collaboration with Seymour Glass on Cous Cous Bizarre. The rapid streams of syllables in the 'Ur Sonata' came from playing around with an audio batch processing program. I used it to cut up regular loops into very short bits and string them together. Then, as with most electronic or 'tape' music, the real work consisted of removing the parts that didn't belong. The title comes from Kurt Schwitters because I felt the piece shared some of the same motivation or aesthetic, although the implementation is not at all alike.' Well, those are the component parts, but to truly grasp the whole, you must hold your brain tight and jump right in. There is just nothing like an Orchid Spangiafora album. Tell your friends." --Byron Coley, 2024

"Fifth solo outing by one of the founding guitarists of Elkhorn, who has also been an essential part of Jeffery Alexander's Heavy Lidders. Gardner is the master of several distinct styles. He can grab the ring of psych-eternity with rare surety. He has versatile outward-spiraling jazz chops. And I've even caught him playing a sort of avant doom metal like he was born Norwegian. I'll admit I haven't heard his last two albums (no promos I guess), but I'll bet they're pretty cool, since Rabbit Ears is a solid gas. The band this time is a quartet. Bassist Andy Cush and drummer Ryan Jewell are still present, with the new addition being guitarist Tom Malach (who is Cush's partner in Garcia Peoples) and the four tracks here are instrumental, loose and open. I am reminded in more than a few spots of Jerome John G****a's work of the early '70s, both in his duos with Howard Wales on Hooteroll, and on the extended tracks from Skullfuck, which Lenny Kaye characterized as 'pome tomes' in his Rolling Stone review of that set. Which is not to infer there is anything lazily referential or anachronistic about the tunes. The band's overall instrumental approach is as fresh as the just-torn veil of a psilocybin mushroom. But it is steeped in the tea of history. There's plenty of real melodic and rhythmic invention going on here, it's just done within a framework players and listeners have been exploring for half a century now. This lends the tracks a kind of faux familiarity that makes them as comfortable to sink into as a scented hot tub. You may have not heard them in this exact configuration before, but the notes documented here are all old friends and should be welcomed as such. A fine and hearty slab. Dig in." --Byron Coley, 2026

The defining feature of El Bienestar del Espíritu is its sense of movement. While Pirámides have long explored psychedelic and experimental territory, this new album places rhythm firmly at the center of the experience. Bass and drums drive much of the record, creating hypnotic, trance-inducing foundations that pull the rest of the music into orbit over which voices and atmospheric textures gradually unfold. El Bienestar del Espíritu is the latest transmission from Monterrey (via Tucson) Pirámides. Pirámides have never been easy to categorize. Built around the songwriting of Patricio Coronado and shaped by a philosophy closer to musical collage than traditional rock orthodoxy, the band's music draws equally from folk traditions, improvisation, drone and repetition-based minimalism. That openness is evident throughout El Bienestar del Espíritu. The album's opening track, "En Tu Mirada," develops through subtle variations while "Refugio" or "con las aves" accumulate momentum through polyrhythmic and repetitive patterns. Elsewhere, "al caer la noche" and the closing "para llegar a ti" embrace a more meditative approach, built from drones and gradual transformation until distinctions between song and ritual begin to blur. What makes El Bienestar del Espíritu so compelling is the way it balances opposing forces. The music is rhythmically heavy yet also airy, deeply rooted yet exploratory. Vocal melodies emerge with mystical lyrics from either walls of complex rhythms or from open vast soundscapes with no clear pulsation. Mexican and Latin American influences are woven into the fabric of the record without ever becoming a stylistic exercise. Everything serves the larger drift. This isn't a record interested in quick conclusions. It moves deliberately, revealing itself through repetition, texture and groove. Most psychedelic records float. This one walks.

You Should'nt try to barrow other People's skin [sic] was recorded professionally with quality vintage microphones, while a few tracks were self-recorded. Each song was recorded live in the studio -- no overdubs, no edits -- giving the album a raw, authentic edge. All songs were recorded analog to two-track tape or four-track tape, with the exception of one song being recorded on a portable tape recorder. Overall, the guitar sound is heavy, hypnotic, and catchy. And at times drone-y and chorus-y. The whole release starts out with a somewhat jarring piece, "Hair Productions Presents Lucas Gunn's Petertag," a very quick thick drone and high-end burst, more expected on a noise record, but showing Lucas' range and playfulness. It actually sounds like it could be the introduction to a low budget horror movie. It has an infectious nursery rhyme quality at times, yet leads into unexpected, unpredictable territories, paving the way for what is to come. The next three pieces feel like a triptych -- all move in and out of emotional stories, raga/raag at times, and always head-nod and toe-tap inducing. Each song utilizes a distinct left field sonic modulation, transforming the structure into an unpredictable journey.
"Grandma Rainbow Nervous flew away tomorrow" starts side 2, continuing on with the perfect combination of left and right hand American Primitive styling ala Fahey. Luc then performs a great instrumental rendition of Mississippi John Hurt's "Monday Morning Blues." "Last Creepy Ever" take one starts with a vocal introduction, and then proceeds to its haunting minor key theme in a natural chorus-y tone. "My Flower and my Yellow skinned bird" has a spontaneous and unscripted quality unlike the other songs, a more home-recording sound, with herky-jerky plucking at times, like a peak behind the curtains. "Petertag's mom and dad love theme" is a short keyboard/synth based ditty that feels like a very unexpected shift after the previous wandering guitar piece, but works well. "Swallow the Bird Floating in Sunlight" then returns to the guitar, and has the feeling, like the title conjures, of watching birds floating and soaring in the sunlight, possibly in the late-day golden hour's glow, right when the sun is laying its head down for the night.

Chicago cosmic explorers Spiral Galaxy return with Spiral Galaxy II, an ecstatic, deep-space voyage of pulsating drift by flutist Sara Gossett and Plastic Crimewave on guitar/keys/machines. Expanding on the terrain mapped out by their acclaimed 2020 debut, the duo push further into a world where flute, raagini, guitar, drone, and an old school drum machine merge into long-form galactic excursions that feel both meticulously crafted and gloriously untethered. Spiral Galaxy II was aided by the guiding hand of Windy City weirdo-visionary Bobby Conn, who contributed textural treatments and overdubs, vintage percussive devices, and spoken-word passages that all deepen the album's ritualistic atmosphere, placing Spiral Galaxy somewhere between kosmische music, astral folk, and grooving minimalism. The album also draws in a wider circle of collaborators, including Conn's violinist/partner Julie Pomerleau (Monica BouBou) and musicians whose contributions grew organically from years of shared stages and sonic communion. Avant improvisers Drazek Fuscaldo (Mako Sica), alchemical folksters Jen Powers and Matt Rolin, synth-lord Jimmy Lacy (SiP), and motorik country deity Lawrence Peters all make guest appearances. These performers truly became part of the album's collective spirit, adding new dimensions to Spiral Galaxy's evolving sound. Pieces like "Axos IV" developed over years of live performance, while "E' Glynner" transmuted in the studio, revealing new colors and possibilities with every devotional layer. What emerges is pure head music that balances the earthly and the celestial. Eastern resonances, soaring flute lines, shimmering guitars, ticking electronics, and expansive drones, create an auditory world that is simultaneously rooted and interstellar. Spiral Galaxy II is an invitation to surrender to the drift, scoring twilight hours, altered states, and open horizons -- where repetition and devotional sonics merge into a propulsive groove that barely holds reality together. Step into the orbit. Just don't expect to come back unchanged. FFO: Popul Vuh, AshRa, Cluster, Gila, La Dusseldorf, Terry Riley, Faust.

Debut LP from Cardinal Fuzz (UK) and Feeding Tube Records (USA). Presented in a hand stamped metallic copper ink (front and back) print on a black card sleeve with insert. Recorded during downtime but sounding anything but casual, Celestial Power emerged when Dead Sea Apes' Brett Savage and Chris Hardman linked synaptic overload with Cardinal Fuzz's own Dave Cambridge to form a three-headed amplifier cult. Heavy, raw, and deeply resonant, this is music that embraces volume, repetition, and the beauty of imperfection. What they've summoned is a sprawling liturgy of overdriven guitar mantras: brutal, blown-out, and gloriously repetitive. Imagine the Velvet Underground locked in a warehouse mainlining the kosmische pulse of some forgotten Krautrock commune while Bardo Pond's ash-coated spirit hovers overhead, scattering embers into a storm of PSF-style amplifier abuse. Not so much songs as tectonic events. Not riffs, but rituals. This thing doesn't purr it howls. You hear the room breathing. You hear amplifiers gasping as they're pushed past mercy, past design, into some ecstatic mechanical breakdown. Every repetition drills deeper, pushing beyond the horizon line until time itself starts peeling back in sheets. And that's the point. This is repetition as revelation. Volume as transcendence. Human hands wrestling raw electricity into shape, then losing control of it entirely. On "Mandate Of Heaven," the circle widens with the arrival of Nik Rayne (The Myrrors), adding another dimension to the ritual, a desert prophet stepping into the feedback storm, pushing the album's gravitational pull even further into the void. No compromise. No softening. No edges filed off. Just pure voltage, scorched earth repetition, and the kind of heavy psychedelic communion that feels less like listening and more like surviving. Step inside. Bring ear protection. Or don't.

Similar to Eric Arn and other folks in the guitar realm, William DeLee leans at times to the more neo-classical and cleaner side of acoustic guitar playing. But like Arn, he is never stale or overly traditional, and also like Arn, William has some mad skills, some might say, he's a virtuoso. Raynol Overlook showcases both Will's expertise, but also his incredible creative approach to both 6-string and 12-string guitar, as well as his emersion into the Andean stringed-instrument the charango. Like on past releases, this LP is a perfect blend of pieces composed on these various instruments. The first three tracks on side 1 are simply titled after the feature instrument, "Nylon," "Charango," and "12-String," which basically lay the groundwork for what's to come. All three showcase Will's incredibly fast and finessed right hand work, at times classical, and other times, almost flamenco in style. Fitting references to his various influences, as well as the origin of the charango. "Falls" and "Rueili" see Will switch to the ronroco, the baritone member of the charango family. "Falls" shows the quick right hand, bursts of fluttering fingers on the strings, accompanied by Joe Apice on shruti box (although its incorrectly credited to the next track, "Rueili"). "Rueili" then continues on the ronroco, but at a slightly slower tempo, but with similar quick finger action. Woven returns to the earlier neo-classical leanings of the first track. "Larch Mountain Trail" completes the side, with an airy live recording, almost sounding like a field recording on said trail, watching the various hikers walk by on their respective journeys. "Panjakent" kicks off side 2 with the return to the 12-string. After a minute of bursts, Will bears down with such consistency and intense right-hand action, with an undertone of pulse and rhythm. On "Night Train to Khiva," Will is joined by Aspen Claire DeVillier on vocals, Josh Moss on acoustic guitar, and Milkshake on electric guitar, expanding the sonic palette of the release, and completely adds to the overall vibe and intensity of this piece. "Kilim" quiets things down a bit, returning to the nylon string guitar, before Will is joined by Jake Soffer on electric guitar, as well as Josh (acoustic guitar) and Aspen (singing bowls) again, to round out the release with meditative and soothing title track.

"In A Strange Place is my album of covers, an idea I've always caressed and finally, about five years ago, found the time to write and produce. Given the importance of this project, it took me quite some time to properly release my take on these songs and musics. I deliberately waited years to see if they could stand the test of time and I would say, for most of them, luckily it happened. My approach on this work is, while featuring other artists' works, to describe a microcosm of feelings and an intimate sonic landscape. A place where the listener could immerse his/her self and take the distance from the world we actually live in. And this is the reason why, as a sonic palette, I've chosen to work with piano, strings and subtle electronics, giving these tracks a slower and delicate vest. This album also features instrumental tracks and interludes featuring echoes of the other tracks included. It's like describing the memory of something, or the intuition of something to come. There are no spaces between tracks, everything is linked in a continuous listening experience to immerse ourselves. The title In A Strange Place, taken from a line of the song 'How ghosts affect relationships' by His Name Is Alive, well describes the nature of the state where we should feel while listening to these tracks, songs about love and the high and lows of life. A place of shelter where we could hide and feel safe for a while, like when we were younger and listened to our favorite songs in the secrecy of our bedrooms. This album sees the collaboration of singers like Anne Garner, Dominic Appleton (Breathless, This Mortal Coil), Lilies on Mars, Emma Anderson (Lush, Sing-Sing), Heidi Berry, Paula Frazer (Tarnation) and Ian Masters (Pale Saints) while featuring tracks by artists like Nick Drake, David J of Bauhaus, His Name Is Alive, Colin Newman of Wire, Steve Miller, Pieter Nooten, Tarnation, Jane, Brian Eno and John Martyn. The last track, 'Hope (Te aroha),' is based on a field recording I took during my honeymoon about ten years ago in Venice, featuring a traditional New Zealand chant of love and peace." -Stefano Guzetti

"Bedroom powerpop with hooks on speed dial ? 1-800 Mikey -- is the lo-fi garage pop project of Michael Barker. On any given night in his home of Sydney, Australia, you might find Barker gleefully wailing away on stage with any number of local underground garage punk stalwarts including Gee Tee and RMFC. And it seems he's everyone's secret weapon for a reason -- his joy on stage is infectious and it comes across in his music. Barker's own project leans more into the pop side of the garage punk spectrum -- with great results. In Yun is the third 1-800 Mikey album and the first on Goner Records. And in terms of songwriting it's a strong step forward. And while the basic formula here is the same -- melodic bass lines, crunchy guitar riffs and catchy sing-a-long vocals -- there is more going on here. The sound is just as immediate, but also more dynamic and nuanced. Lead single 'Me and My Only' is a high speed collision of distorted city rock guitar riffs and heart-on-your-sleeve poptastic vocal hooks. If that seems like familiar territory, 'K Style' and 'Falling in Love' are more reminiscent of British noise poppers the Shop Assistants and the Pooh Sticks. And the earworm guitarwork anchoring 'Pleasant Morning' and 'Faery' is fresh and catchy -- good luck getting them out of your head. It's fun and sincere and adorable and it totally rips."

Double LP version. Repress of Spirit Caravan debut album. "Jug Fulla Sun follows a sonic continuum that began in the late '70s when Scott "Wino" Weinrich emerged from the outskirts of Washington, D.C., with the Obsessed, his stripped-down hybrid of biker rock and metal. That outfit made tremendous strides in bridging the gap between the long-haired metal contingent and the still developing, though already rabid, D.C. hardcore scene. Jug Fulla Sun shows Wino augmenting his trademark brand of doom-laden guitar work and slow-fuse vocal ferocity with greater lyrical depth and overall textural breadth. The songs are rich, refined, articulate, and created by a lifer, a true veteran of the hard music scene. Wino has obviously gone to great lengths here to subordinate his outlaw vision to a more expansive, comprehensive view of mankind, and of greater truths. The somewhat nebulous scope of his lyrics is enhanced by Lungfish vocalist/tattoo artist Dan Higgs' cryptic cover painting. An excellent album." --All Music.

LP version. Repress of Spirit Caravan's sophomore album. "On this, Spirit Caravan's second foray into the long-player format, the band has collectively slowed down the tempo, and dropped the mood into even more contemplative territory. As the grandfather of modern stoner rock, Wino has certainly dipped his guitar picks in LSD this time around. Even though the engineering and production is bone dry and bottom heavy, Wino's psychedelic guitar work -- especially his stinging, busy leads -- has been ratcheted up a few clicks, even if the overall aesthetic is darker, and the superb musicianship from the trio simplified. The listener may be reminded of Hawkwind powered by an enormous diesel engine. As a title, Elusive Truth may indicate Wino's searching nature as a musician, and his attempt to continue down the sonic path through darkness, and through light. With this album, the listener is most certainly in darker territory." --All Music.

LP version. Repress of Spirit Carvan's Dreamwheel. "As undeniably powerful, durable, and straight-shooting as Motorhead's Lemmy Kilminster, Spirit Caravan's inveterate founder and leader, Scott 'Wino' Weinrich, is an absolute rock lifer. Following on the heels of the band's debut, Jug Fulla Sun, Dreamwheel is a Spartan-sounding five-song EP, the perfect compliment to the dense, doom-laden psychedelia of the full-length. In fact, Dreamwheel's greatest strength is the breathing space between notes, provided by the rock-solid rhythm section of drummer Gary Isom and bassist Dave Sherman. Such rhythmic austerity -- the kind championed by the effort of bands like Free, Bad Company, Led Zeppelin, and Grand Funk Railroad -- allows Wino's compelling, soulful baritone voice and sizzling Hawkwind-esque leads to truly sing out. As the voice behind St. Vitus and the Obsessed, Wino helped formulate and configure the shape of modern stoner rock and doom metal. Spirit Caravan, as evidenced by this brilliant, relaxed gem of an EP, is perhaps his most able vessel. Each song burns with analog warmth, intensity, and brightness. Though it took nearly a decade for Wino to receive his overdue appreciation as an artist, the late '90s and early part of the new millennium have seen his stock soar, even if not financially." --All Music.

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

"Coming on the heels of Jackpot Records' vinyl reissue of The Wild Magnolias' S/T debut LP comes the band's follow-up record, They Call Us Wild. Championed by critic Robert Christgau as creating 'the most boisterous recorded party I know,' the band released this funk masterpiece in 1975, but now with a psychedelic streak running deeply throughout it. While the first album (which was also the first commercially released record by a Mardi Gras Indian group) declared 'Smoke Your Peace Pipe (Smoke It Right),' They Call Us Wild is a different type of 'elevated' sonic celebration. Vocals echo and drip; saxophones and keyboards swing from each other's arms, and the omnipresent multi-layered percussion, which The Wild Magnolias were known for, showcase why they continue to be one of the most sampled bands of all time (they have been sampled by everyone from Nas to Public Enemy to Jungle Brothers). With producer Philippe Rault at the helm once again, he continued to capture the dense magic within the band, but on They Call Us Wild, they are taking a darker, more haunted approach with their music. The smokey interplay on songs like 'Injuns, Here We Come,' with its jazzy piano/bass meltdown (courtesy of Erving Charles Jr. and Wilson Turbinton of the legendary New Orleans funk band The Gaturs), solidified them as a band rather than capturing a moment, even though the celebration in the studio is still going just as strong. The band also takes itself to new sonic territory, for instance, slowing things down with 'Jumalaka Boom Boom,' with its sexy groove and spoken-word storytelling sections that rival the best of P-Funk."

Coming in hazy and heady, an end-of-summer cosmic jammer from Nick Mitchell Maiato, full of big choruses, blazing guitars, country honk, and deep grooves -- replete with funky horn section. On Náquera, named after the Spanish pueblo in which he resides, Mitchell Maiato's songwriting, vocals, and guitar playing all come into sharp focus as he mans the wheel on an ocean drive of interwoven electric guitar dueling, funky multi-movement jams, bittersweet odes to uncomplicatedness, and rolling rockers. Featuring an effortlessly graceful preface by Macon, GA piano prodigy Gavin Rushing, "Riki Rachtman" is a cosmic americana ballad examining the state of heavy metal in contemporary pop culture from the perspective of a disgruntled first-person narrator. "Critical Mass" is a soaring, two-chord ode to dropping out, with an opening organ salvo by Grateful Dead midi-tech Bob Bralove, a monster, key-changing guitar duel at its core, and a fat, snaking bass groove by Otto Wilberg (Mitchell Maiato's former colleague in Desmadrados Soldados De Ventura)."Flamebait" is one of the record's big surprises with its almost Lennon-esque rock-and soul slab of technocracy bashing, its woozy, three-part horn section, and its improvised, sun-scorched guitar solo slap-dab in the middle. And, on "The Angle" comes an homage to rock-and-roll pool hustler narratives framed within an expansive country-funk jam that nods to Mitchell-Maiato's love of Parliament and Grateful Dead in equal measure.

"Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory is a purposefully misleading title for the first collaborative work from four friends who met close to thirty years prior. All active participants in Michigan independent music circles since the early '90s, Windy & Carl are well-known for their foundational contributions to drift and guitar-born ambient sounds, with songs characterized by deep connections to the natural world and a hard to pin down yet impossible to miss emotional vulnerability. Optigan Conservatory is another duo, made up of Frank Rotondo (leader of Detroit area free music ensemble Laughing Gas) and Fred Thomas (songwriter and producer most often associated with his band Saturday Looks Good To Me), who have been making minimalistic and time-defiant electroacoustic sounds since 2016. The album came together almost effortlessly in a very short timeframe, but the idea had been building steam for many a year. In the last days of 2024, Windy & Carl and Optigan Conservatory got together, falling into a mode of sound creation that was almost hyper-natural. Without any discussion outside of the usual stream of jokes and chatter, the quartet set up and started communicating. Added to Windy & Carl's hovering augmented chord voicings and vaporous guitar drones were electric piano and synth bedding from Frank & Fred. After the initial sessions, all involved parties took time to consider what they'd made, adding new layers and editing the pieces into more definitive articulations. A beautiful and hermetic energy larger than the sum of its parts is captured in the process. There are echoes of the earliest releases from Windy & Carl as well as refractions of the same opacity that surfaced in the early Kranky catalog."

"Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory is a purposefully misleading title for the first collaborative work from four friends who met close to thirty years prior. All active participants in Michigan independent music circles since the early '90s, Windy & Carl are well-known for their foundational contributions to drift and guitar-born ambient sounds, with songs characterized by deep connections to the natural world and a hard to pin down yet impossible to miss emotional vulnerability. Optigan Conservatory is another duo, made up of Frank Rotondo (leader of Detroit area free music ensemble Laughing Gas) and Fred Thomas (songwriter and producer most often associated with his band Saturday Looks Good To Me), who have been making minimalistic and time-defiant electroacoustic sounds since 2016. The album came together almost effortlessly in a very short timeframe, but the idea had been building steam for many a year. In the last days of 2024, Windy & Carl and Optigan Conservatory got together, falling into a mode of sound creation that was almost hyper-natural. Without any discussion outside of the usual stream of jokes and chatter, the quartet set up and started communicating. Added to Windy & Carl's hovering augmented chord voicings and vaporous guitar drones were electric piano and synth bedding from Frank & Fred. After the initial sessions, all involved parties took time to consider what they'd made, adding new layers and editing the pieces into more definitive articulations.

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

Anybody paying attention to what's been happening at Lumberton Trading Company during recent months should have noticed that Modelbau had a collaborative CD with Bass Communion. Meshing abstract electronics with ambient textures, field recordings and a more electroacoustic setting, Analysis Reveals Nothing of Substance brought together the minds of Frans de Waard and Steven Wilson into a space that proved their own slightly different takes on such music exemplified a unique synergy rich in scope. On The End of the Continuum, however, Frans gathers nine solo compositions effortlessly proving his skills as an artist capable of molding wonderful shapes from sinewy electronic tones, spacey bleeps and bloops, iridescent babbling, penumbral shifts and, ultimately, a minimalist soundbed that perhaps draws from yet sits outside the work of Eliane Radigue, Asmus Tietchens, Brian Eno, Roland Kayn and others. As with other recent Modelbau albums, there's as much emphasis on space, and allowing the sounds to move and assume forms at their own pace, as there is on sonics which might sit comfortably at the edge of the known universe. Everything sits well together and is the result of somebody who, after having spent decades listening to and championing all kinds of weird and wonderful music from the deepest underground crannies and crevices, has a clear idea about what to avoid when realizing his own vision. Each piece is shorter than what's expected of the content on the average album now as well. Somewhat more penetrable than so much similarly-inclined music, this is deep listening given a lift to the point one could drift away for endless days to it. This might even be Modelbau's best album yet.

Cologne-based record label Magazine celebrates the 15th anniversary of Barnt's visionary anthem Geffen. One of electronic music's most defining tracks of the 2010s is reissued, marking the first time it receives its own dedicated standalone release. Looking back, one can hardly imagine Geffen without the 2010s, or, conversely, maybe even electronic music of that era without it. The composition mirrors the expressive possibilities of bedroom producers at the beginning of that decade -- an era where artists could launch tracks into the world and have them resonate through their sheer sonic power, without major marketing efforts. The release comes with two very Magazine-esque reinterpretations from the label's two other co-founders alongside Barnt: a powerful atmospheric club remix by Jens-Uwe Beyer, and Magazine Hallucination, a wild, collaborative, psychedelic mutation by Crato and Beyer.

Layered guitars, synths and wordless vocals set the scenery in this epic, beautiful and introspective solo debut by musical wanderer Lynn Wright. Wright, who has mostly eschewed developing a fixed artistic identity throughout his already long career, has preferred to remain on the periphery of collaborative projects and behind the scenes. It took until recent times for him to make Before The Sinking Plains, which arrives as his first solo recording after decades of traversing underground scenes in New York and beyond. Wright defines the album as "a collection of atmospheric compositions structured as songs or songs masking as atmospheric compositions." The album began during a long neurological illness as guitar loops Wright would make each morning in his apartment and let play quietly in the background. At some point he began recording the ones he liked and adding layers of treated guitars, vocals, and synths, and then, eventually, giving them defined structures. The album features none of the aggression of his louder bands and improvisatory projects, but retains the dark hues. Before The Sinking Plains lives on the familiar peripheries of the post-everything sound world, with elements of everything from washed-out dream pop and atmospheric drone works to sparse noir folk and minimalist vocal composition moving within the linings of Wright's subtle yet grand pieces, creating a perfect backdrop for watching the sky merge with the vast open fields. Since relocating to Berlin some years ago from New York, he has worked closely with composer Simon Goff, who mixed his current album, as an editor, engineer and composer on various film and recording projects. He also plays lap steel guitar in Swans bassist Dana Schechter's band Insect Ark. This is just the top of the iceberg when it comes to Wright's collaborations and projects throughout the years.

A blackbird at dawn inspired a living score: Natalia Beylis' work, Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees, is a 52-minute longform journey about land stewardship grown from the sounds and textures of a single field in Leitrim, Ireland. This recording captures the piece as it existed on Friday 12 December 2025. Largely known for her solo instrumental work and her sound collage work, Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees marks her first piece written for an ensemble. Developed with and performed by Ailbhe Nic Oireachtaigh (Viola), Eimear Reidy (Cello), Tóla Custy (Fiddle), Ultan O'Brien (Viola), and Willie Stewart (Percussion) with Natalia conducting. The acoustic music in this recording is the sound of a field and the sky full of life from dawn till dusk. Each note and pause evokes the rhythms of growth, decay and regeneration, inviting audiences to hear the land and its inhabitants as active participants in the music. With this instrumental piece, Natalia hopes to highlight issues around land guardianship that personally affect both her and the land where she lives. Specifically, issues related to the detrimental effects of monocultural commercial forestry. Through strings and percussion Around Here, The Birds Plant The Trees captures this interplay between personal stewardship, natural agency, and industrial impact. The rustle of beetles in the hedgerow, the squeak of a leaning Sitka spruce, a lone curlew's call -- these became the pulse and melody of the composition. Birds, squirrels, wind, and human hands act as co-composers, inspiring a shifting soundworld of oaks, saplings, and human heartbeats. This is a piece about listening to the land, its past and possible futures, and your own place within it.

Limited 300 worldwide on transparent sky-blue LP, housed in a matt finish outer sleeve with double sided insert. Eagerly awaited follow up to 2024's Creep Call, for fans of Brainbombs, Unsane, scum rock, noise rock, The Shits. Scum rock low-lives Louse return with their sophomore LP, Buyer's Remorse -- an unrefined but levelled-up dip back into the murk, keeping it in the family one more time on Riot Season records (a label which now, fittingly, features genre luminaries Brainbombs). More cohesive, more negative but no less disgusting than debut record Creep Call, the band have further enhanced their pummeling, single-riff ritual M.O. with even more strop-razor guitars, crank-fueled slide-bass, strangled sax and sinister missives from the void. Buyer's Remorse includes unspeakable meditations on an unmatched litany of losers, including: inept hitmen/serial killers, snuff-flick refund naivety, disturbing fellatio lessons, burying yourself alive to escape the law and having a damn good time being chopped into luncheon. Snubbed from all but the best festivals, Louse continue to eke out a steady stream of shows, with highlights such as glorious sweat-boxes in beloved Torino, Monza and beyond in the EU with BRAK, being the first band to play Mickey Zogg's Basement in Bristol with Beau Wanzer and multiple distinguished appearances at Café Oto with legend and fellow RS label-mate Shit & Shine. Right-thinking taste-makers have decreed that Louse "exist in an alternate reality where The Fall and The Birthday Party are one and the same band," and that their songs are "all at once unsettling, loose, filthy, untamed, distorted and fucked up, but most of all rocking, creative and unique." Buyer's Remorse is no exception, having been wrangled into perfection by long-time collaborator James Atkinson (The Stationhouse Studio) and none other than Rectal Hygienics' Matt Ibarra (STR Mastering) this is truly scum rock at its finest -- all at once punishing, ugly and brutal; but listen to that groove.

Emerging from Beirut's underground music community in the early 2000s, Scrambled Eggs developed a singular voice that combined punk urgency, post-punk tension, noise experimentation and a distinctly local sense of dislocation. Their music reflected neither straightforward protest nor detached abstraction, but rather the contradictions of life in a city marked by instability and constant reinvention. This reissue brings together Happy Together, Filthy Forever (2006) and Peace Is Overrated & War Misunderstood (2009), two releases that document a crucial chapter in the band's history. Recorded during and in the aftermath of the July 2006 war, Happy Together, Filthy Forever marked a shift toward a sharper, more immediate songwriting approach while retaining the exploratory spirit that defined the group's earlier work. Its centerpiece, "1984," was recorded live in Beirut during the conflict itself and remains one of the most striking documents of that period. Originally released three years later, Peace Is Overrated & War Misunderstood collected demos, soundtrack contributions and unreleased recordings made between 2006 and 2009. Together, the tracks reveal the breadth of Scrambled Eggs' creative approach, moving from abrasive punk and noise-driven excursions to more expansive and reflective compositions. Presented together for the first time and newly remastered, these recordings offer a portrait of a band at its most vital, while preserving an important chapter in the history of Lebanon's independent music culture.

The Incompetents emerged from Beirut's independent music scene in 2007 as a collaboration between songwriter Serge Yared and producer, engineer and multi-instrumentalist Fadi Tabbal. Over the next thirteen years, the project evolved through multiple lineups and musical directions, drawing in a wide circle of collaborators while maintaining its distinctive voice. A Temporary Convergence Of Interests (The Disgruntled Best Of) is the first anthology to span the band's entire recorded output, gathering nineteen tracks originally released between 2008 and 2020. Drawn from five releases and supplemented with bonus material, the collection traces the many forms The Incompetents took over the course of their existence, from post-punk and art rock to folk-inflected songwriting and more exploratory excursions. Recorded primarily at Tunefork Studios in Beirut, the anthology also offers a glimpse into a fertile period for Lebanon's independent music community. Alongside Yared and Tabbal, the recordings feature contributions from Abed Kobeissy, Stéphane Rives, Paed Conca, Maya Aghniadis, Amine Daher, Malek Rizkallah and, on later recordings, Julia Sabra, Pascal Semerdjian and Marwan Tohme of Postcards. Available on vinyl for the first time, A Temporary Convergence Of Interests gathers the story of The Incompetents in a single collection while offering a window onto the community of musicians that surrounded the band throughout its existence.

2026 repress forthcoming. "X-Ray Spex was a British punk rock band that emerged in the late 1970s, known for their distinctive sound, socially conscious lyrics, and the dynamic frontwoman Poly Styrene. The band was active during the first wave of punk rock and played a significant role in the punk movement. Lead vocalist and songwriter Poly Styrene was known for her unique vocal style and often cited as an influential figure in the punk scene. Other band members on Germfree Adolescents are Jak Airport, Paul Dean, Rudi Thompson, and B P Hurding. X-Ray Spex released their debut album, Germfree Adolescents, in 1978, featuring the title track, 'Germfree Adolescents.' The album is considered a classic of the punk era. Poly Styrene's lyrics often addressed social and consumerist issues, and her unconventional fashion sense and energetic stage presence added to the band's overall identity. While X-Ray Spex had a relatively short-lived career, disbanding in 1979, they left a lasting impact on the punk scene, and their music continues to be celebrated for its originality and influence. Poly Styrene sadly passed away in 2011, but her contributions to punk rock remain influential. This limited-edition re-issue of Germfree Adolescents is pressed on black 180-gram vinyl. Incl. 12" insert poster of album cover + sleeve notes by Stephanie Phillips."

The new album by the French jazz guitarist recorded in the legendary Abbey Road studio. A soft album with pop and cinematic influences between Khruangbin, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Bill Frisell. With wild eyes and ash-gray fur, Loup(s) is an instrumental album where jazz and pop intertwine, led by guitarist Matthis Pascaud (Ayo, Erik Truffaz, Moonlight Benjamin, Marion Rampal, Hugh Coltman) and his pack of sonic alchemists. Once again, the album features the magnetic R (Cheick Tidiane Seck, Erik Truffaz, Tété, Albin de la Simone) on drums, composition, and co-production, alongside bassist Laurent Vernerey (Didier Lockwood, MC Solaar, Henri Salvador, Jane Birkin) and saxophonist-clarinetist Christophe Panzani (Carla Bley Big Band, Hocus Pocus, Anne Paceo). Four lone wolves, fluent in swamp blues and psychedelic incantations. After Night Trippin' and Good Grief, Matthis sets off into uncharted territory, tracing the footsteps of Pink Floyd while echoing the shimmering grooves of Khruangbin, Blake Mills, and Pino Palladino. The result, Loup(s), recorded at London's legendary Abbey Road Studios, is a record where atmosphere reigns supreme. Tempos stretch and breathe, basslines rumble, and saxophones murmur through a Leslie cabinet. Landscapes emerge, sculpted by rolling toms and the feline cry of a 1967 Gretsch Astrojet. Later, singer Célia Kameni and pianist Gaël Rakotondrabe lend their own mysterious enchantments. Together, Pascaud and his band of explorers chase textures as others might chase gold, dreaming aloud of a music made of a panoramic vision stretching from the plains of Gran Sasso to the far edges of the American West, in search of forgotten legends.

Eivor, born in the Faroe Islands in 1983, is a vocalist, instrumentalist and songwriter with a voice of rare beauty and power. From the age of fifteen she decided to dedicate her life entirely to music, and her roots in these remote and astonishingly beautiful islands have been the source of her musical inspiration ever since. While this powerful love of Faroese culture remains at the heart of her work, it has been widened through profound contact with other North Atlantic traditions -- she spent some time in Iceland and was named Icelandic Female Singer of the Year in 2003. She is equally at home as a solo singer, accompanying herself, or with her own band, performing a mixture of traditional songs and her own compositions, or collaborating with musicians from many different backgrounds. Eivor is now based in Denmark. Many of her songs are in Faroese, some are in Icelandic and the most recent tend to be in English. Her music covers a wide musical and emotional range, with themes of love, loss, memory, freedom, nature. She has a voice of extraordinary beauty and character, unique in its intimacy, its effortless virtuosity and range of colors. And at the same time she is a riveting live performer with a vivacious and warm stage presence. She has been described as "a pure Viking goddess," as having "an extraordinary presence," and producing music that is "painfully beautiful." Now at the peak of her powers, she is an acclaimed singer/composer with a worldwide dimension, yet (happily) she manages to remain true to the deep, proud and subtle culture of the Faroe Islands.

Eivor was born on the Faroe Islands in 1983. From the very beginning, her roots on this remote yet beautiful island have served as a source of musical inspiration for the singer, musician and songwriter, who has a voice of rare beauty and power. At the age of 15, Eivor decided to dedicate her life entirely to music. In addition to her strong love of Faroese culture, the other Nordic countries also served as a source of inspiration for her. She spent some time in Iceland and was honored with the title "Icelandic Singer of the Year" as a Faroese singer in 2003. Not only does Eivor feel at home in different countries, she also playfully alternates between different possibilities of her musical work in her arrangements: she sometimes performs as a solo singer and accompanies herself or she is supported by her band and presents a mixture of traditional songs and her own compositions. However, she feels just as at home performing with other musicians, who can come from a wide variety of backgrounds. Many of Eivor's songs are in Faroese, many others in Icelandic and lately she has been leaning more and more towards singing in English. Her music encompasses not only a wide range of musical influences, but also emotions: for example, her songs deal with themes such as love, loss, memories and freedom, but also of nature. Eivor's voice captivates with its extraordinary and characteristic beauty, is unique in its intimacy, effortless virtuosity and variety of coloration.

Rarely has an album title been more fitting than Faroese artist Eivor's Bridges. When you are born and grow up in a country made up of 18 islands, you know how important these connecting elements are. Her new songs are less about the bridges that connect individual islands and more about the mental connections between people, or places -- between home and far away. The title track, which is accompanied by an acoustic guitar and subtle electronic sounds. In this way, the singer once again embodies her typical "folktronica," which was already responsible for her breakthrough on the 2012 album Room. Bridges is in many ways a classic singer/songwriter album that finds its roots deep in the pop of the sixties. The acoustic guitars set against a drum machine sound create an exciting mix of traditional and modern in a wonderful way. As if that wasn't impressive enough, Eivor also uses her incredibly multi-faceted voice as a further instrument to underscore the atmosphere.

Faroese folk singer/songwriter Eivor's Slor is a collection of newly composed songs, which she sang in her native Faroese language. The album is the successor of the English-language album Bridges, and even though these are two different albums in different languages, there is a connection between the two records. Where Bridges was light and above all yearning, Slor sounds more-raw and reflective. Bridges was inspired by friendship, love and homesickness. It deals with the bridges between humans, relationships between people, places, and also things that touch everyone. Slor, on the other hand, is about wanderlust, separation and the search for peace. A veil can be a symbol of a border between the present and the past, but a bridal veil, on the other hand, represents happiness and devotion above all. Eivor explains the process of the sibling albums: "When I wrote the songs, the songwriting was first done in English and right after that it came into my head in Faroese -- like a kind of mirror image." Thus, it is not only two separate works, but also a composite moment in the song process.

On At the Heart of A Selkie, singer/songwriter Eivor, together with writer Marjun Syderbo Kjælnes, composer Peter Jensen, the Danish National Choir Ensemble, and the Danish Radio Big Band, interprets a musical drama that is deeply rooted in Nordic legends. The story of the Selkies, the ocean, love -- and the conflict between nature and man. At the Heart of a Selkie is a musical narrative about the Selkie women; it is abstract but very sensitive. A fairy tale with an exciting plot but also a moral claim in a unique soundscape, created with samples from nature by sound artist Morten Büchert and hymns by Thomas Kingo playing in the background.

Over the course of more than four decades, Andrew Chalk has created one of ambient and experimental music's most distinctive, influential, and enduring bodies of work. Though his recordings have taken many forms -- from the raw, post-Industrial sounds of Ferial Confine in the 1980s to the fragile guitar meditations, blurred keyboard studies, and richly textured collages that populate the Faraway Press catalog -- they remain united by a singular sensibility: an uncommon attentiveness to atmosphere, nostalgia, and the power of restraint. Mystical Obscurant offers a rare opportunity to encounter the expansive character of that oeuvre in miniature. Rather than documenting a single period or methodology, it functions almost like a survey of Chalk's musical language -- a collection of new music that illuminates the breadth of his practice while distilling the singular vision that unites it. "The Sea of Sorrow" and "Peacemaker" feel cut from the same cloth as the sacred guitar minimalism of The River That Flows Into the Sands, while "Against the Tide" would sit naturally alongside the smudged and distant keys of Blue Eyes of the March. Other pieces draw upon environmental sound and loop-based constructions, hallmarks of Chalk's more recent, vignette-like compositions. Though these recordings emerge from different moments in his long creative journey, each inhabits a recognizable world: one where melodies drift in diffuse, unhurried forms and sound gathers with painterly grace. What is most striking when these pieces are heard together is not their difference but their coherence. Across changing instruments, collaborators, and approaches, Chalk has consistently pursued a subjunctive music of suggestion rather than declaration, creating spaces where memory and imagination are allowed to unfold at their own pace.

TECHNO Records continues with a new work by Germany-based artist VNNN., a fixture of the Ruhr area's underground techno scene for more than a decade. Built around an intuitive search for bearings within a complex personal identity, the record takes Staza -- the Bosnian word for path -- as its poetic title. Noir-toned, hypnotic and driving at its core, the music sets deep tension against insistent momentum and call-and-response energy. Each of the four original tracks refracts the same artistic identity in a different way. Together, they form a cohesive, self-assured techno vision.

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

"More than 25 years after the start of collaboration with Acid Mothers Temple mastermind Makoto Kawabata (including the INUI series and the classic Kawabata/Youngs release) comes the first proper VHF LP by the prolific quintet. One of an occasional series of 'minimalism' inspired LPs by the group, In A Not C is a not a barely changing drone, but a wild ride with the band in full flight, rushing along in a glorious swirl of psychedelic madness. Like the band's well-known 2001 version of Terry Riley's 'In C,' the group uses a small cell of repeating sound as a jumping off point and then gradually revs up to maximum velocity. The current AMT lineup has produced a series of fun and unique variants on the band's longstanding signatures, with the addition of vocalist/guitarist Jyonson Tsu and drummer Satoshima Nani providing a lightness and nimbleness of touch that resets the context of the band's usual blazing electric guitar and burbling synth. Both sides here build to a multi-layered crescendo, with loops of Tsu's gentle vocals competing with frenetic drums, whistling electronics, and guitar that alternates trebly feedback and soft arpeggios. Cut by Golden, pressed in Chicago at Smashed, first pressing on clear vinyl."

Gradual Isolation started in the early '90s as the musical project of two friends, Luc Van Den Bosch and Filip Van Breda, both living in Turnhout, Belgium. They were inspired by EBM and new wave from the '80s and '90s and saw bands such as the Canadian Psyche as their great examples. With just a few synthesizers, a drum machine and a homemade microphone, they made music that could be described as emotional, and somewhat naive bedroom new wave. If the term emo-wave doesn't exist yet, it should be invented to describe Gradual Isolation's music. Over the years, many tapes have been filled with their improvisations and about 20 to 30 songs have been more or less completed. They never officially released their music, only a handful of handmade cassette tapes were distributed to friends. They did not go further than a single performance in the local new wave bar "The Cave" in Turnhout in 1991, but the duo stayed together and continues to make music to this day. Now, for the first time, a full-length LP Remaining Faces has been released on Walhalla Records!

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.

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

In September, 1967, three of the primary ensembles of free music in Northern Europe gathered for a mini-festival on Radio Bremen: the Manfred Schoof Quintet, the Peter Brötzmann Quartet, and the Irene Schwiezer Trio. Pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach appeared as part of the Manfred Schoof Quintet, but in these sets, which mixed the dozen members of the ensembles, as well as presenting them on their own, Schlippenbach in fact either led or was at the center of several groupings, presenting two of his compositions. Main Lines/1967 compiles four tracks from these formative studio sessions, which took place just as the participants were formulating the basic direction of improvised music in Europe. The CD includes large ensemble music in the mode of Schlippenbach's Globe Unity recordings, the first of which were made a year earlier. Mani Neumeier, who would soon become the drummer in the rock group Guru Guru, offers a wild percussion-centric ride in "It's Up," while saxophonist Peter Brötzmann squares off against trios -- three basses, three pianos, three drummers -- in the volatile piece "Three." The most compositionally complex works are Schlippenbach's, the title track and "Turn 14," which was part of the Schoof Quintet's repertoire. Other participants include drummer Jaki Liebezeit, who would go on to propel Can, bassists Peter Kowald, Uli Trepte, and Buschi Niebergall, pianist Fred Van Hove, saxophonist Gerd Dudek, and celebrated improvisor/drummer Sven-Äke Johansson. A major unearthing, these recordings celebrate their 60th anniversary next year but have lost none of their incendiary edge.

"I've not thought about Psychick Youth for a long time, the anti cult cult, but the reality is I had a great time and met a lot of good people, many of whom I'm still in touch with today. Left in the hands of others who just weren't there, people jumped on the gravy train and ultimately failed to answer any questions. Failed books and failed documentaries followed, where the main priority seemed to be taking the money and hoping for the best, kinda sad really. The press described it as: 'Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth, or TOPY, emerged from Britain's industrial underground as a strange mix of occult network, performance art project and countercultural movement. Closely tied to Psychic TV and Genesis P-Orridge, it blurred the lines between music, ritual, media manipulation and social experiment. The press often struggled to define it, describing TOPY as everything from an anti-cult to an anarchic art movement built on sigils, tape culture and radical ideas about identity and consciousness. Its use of ritual imagery, underground publishing and global 'access points' helped build an air of mystery that fed years of fascination and controversy. Writers frequently linked the group to figures such as Aleister Crowley and William S. Burroughs, placing it in a lineage of artistic and cultural disruption. Decades later, TOPY is still seen as one of the most provocative and influential movements to emerge from post-industrial Britain.' That's about as close as most people got or will ever get, but we were on the inside and were the ones who eventually closed it all down. The mission was indeed terminated. This album revisits old topics with new eyes and ears, and celebrates our time with TOPY, separating lived experience from second hand mythology."

The final collaboration between Eliane Radigue and Important Records is this double LP edition of Triptych. Audiophile quality pressing at Optimal in Germany. Radigue insisted that her music only be released on vinyl if the pieces would fit without being edited or cut. Triptych met those requirements leaving room for an etching on the fourth side. Back to music after three years of silence. On the suggestion of Robert Ashley, Douglas Dunn commissioned Triptych from Eliane Radigue for choreography. Only the first part of Triptych was staged at the premiere at the Dancehall/Theatre of Nancy on February 27 1978. Recorded in the composer's studio in Paris. After the 1974 premiere of Adnos in San Francisco, a group of French students introduced Eliane Radigue to Tibetan Buddhism. When she returned to Paris, she began to explore this spirituality in depth, which slowed her musical production up until 1978. Triptych marks her return to composition, and draws its inspiration from "the spirit of the fundamental elements, water, air, fire, earth." Eliane Radigue likes to add that this has often been useful to her in her moments of research and transitions. This three-part composition, with its great humility and contemplative simplicity, heralded a new period of her work and was the first in a series of masterpieces inspired by Tibetan Buddhism: Adnos Trilogy (1980), Songs of Milarepa (1983) -- with the voices of Lama Kunga Rinpoche and Robert Ashley, Jetsun Mila (1986), as well as the Trilogy of Death: Kyema (1988), Kailasha (1991) and Koume (1993).

The story of each re-release begins with the original. In the late '90s, Uwe Zahn (Arovane), along with Robert Henke (Monolake) and Stefan Betke (Pole), began releasing music on Torsten Pröfrock's (Dynamo) newly launched DIN label. This was a very inconspicuous undertaking, but fans of the flourishing IDM, glitch, and constantly evolving abstract techno genres quickly picked up on the quality of sound coming out of Germany. After a few successful EPs, Zahn began working on his debut full-length, Atol Scrap. The release was a success, at least in the underground circles, where followers of the melodic harmonies, stuttering off-beat rhythms, and, most importantly, advanced sound design feverishly consumed the imprint's output. There was only one thing missing -- the album was never pressed on vinyl, and for decades remained in the digital domain. The fans, of course, inquired. There were multiple offers on the table, but Zahn retained control until he was assured that it was properly attained. Listening to Atol Scrap over twenty years later it is inane not to admit how well it has held up. Where other genres clearly aged, becoming stale, bland, and dull, the music on eleven tasty tracks still keeps the neurons tickled with each note. More than an echo of the past, the bottled sound truly has matured. Many of the newly evolving techniques are recognizable on the album. From this debut to the most recent output, Arovane's sound has evolved to become more intricate, detailed, and pronounced. And just as Atol Scrap reminds Zahn of the past, retaining charm preserved in a container traveling through time, it also jitters memories of long ago. Remastered and cut to vinyl by Kassian Troyer at D&M. Cover art by Jim Kühnel based on a photograph by Uwe Zahn.

Named after a now-shuttered nightspot that overlooked the beach on Italy's picturesque Tuscan coast, Maxime Denuc's Club Imperiale is a work of speculative historical fiction, a record that imagines a point of creative symbiosis between the Catholic church and the ecstatic dancefloors of the early '90s. Using a MIDI-controlled pipe organ, Denuc creates dense clouds of impossible-to-play notes that ricochet backwards and forwards through history, from Rome's reverberant cathedrals to the white, sandy beaches of the Balearic Islands. Two years ago, the Brussels-based French composer was forwarded a surprising video by a Belgian fan. It was shot during a wedding at a church in Menorca, where the organist was playing "Infinite End," the lead track from 2022's Nachthorn. Immediately, Denuc knew that this was the thematic backdrop he'd been waiting for; he imagined the aftermath of the event, wandering through small villages and teetering on a cliff's edge, finding a provincial nightclub and retracing his steps back to the beach to witness the sunrise. This time around, Denuc was gifted the time and the access he needed to fully refine his concept. The technical side of the process had already been solved; after recording Nachthorn, he was now very confident with his system, able to control the pipe organ's keyboards, stops and pedals incredibly precisely using Max/MSP and OpenSoundControl, or OSC. And his relationship with the St. Antonius Church in Düsseldorf had deepened significantly. The cantor offered him three- or four-days each month for a year to record the project and Denuc jumped at the chance. He moved into a small apartment nearby and spent every available hour behind the organ, working from 9AM until 5PM, stopping for mass and then returning for another long session, heading back to his studio on the off days to listen back to the recordings and plan fresh approaches. This allowed him to sculpt the experience meticulously, thinking about the history of sacred music and considering the real reasons that its compositions have lingered in the secular consciousness for so long. He wanted to concentrate on the visceral acoustic qualities of the church itself, so used a spatial multi-microphone setup to situate listeners between the concrete walls, fabricating an acoustic experience that's multi-dimensional and cinematic.

At the heart of Diese Fragile Praesenz lies a melancholic yet propulsive drone, constructed from a field recording and drenched in white noise. Around this softly glowing orb Kelovolt constructs a vast, shifting, somber soundscape. Lush, magisterial pads, starry-eyed synth work, cold washes of tape hiss and static melt in and out of the mise-en-scène. Crumbling walls of bass and distortion collapse in slow motion even as rich, brasslike harmonies elevate the listening mind. Long keening synth notes emerge from the fog, intertwining with falling tubular figures, a journey through a wormhole of sound both monumental and fragile.

Fohn conjures a dreamlike landscape of introspective beauty, loneliness and transience from analogue tape and field recordings on new album, Porcelain. A late summer evening in southern France. The dry mistral wind billows the washing that hangs outside the windows on narrow streets, bringing with it the first whispers of autumn. In the distance children are playing in the square, their shouts caught in the dust whipped up by their feet. A bell tolls, the light dies, and a rich, compelling solitude descends. Violinist and multi-instrumentalist Fohn, aka Tom Connolly, describes the act of making music as "building fictional environments that become places of solace," and a process of translation and projection that bridges his internal and external worlds. While musicians like John Also Bennett, Oren Ambarchi, and Connolly's own group Quade drift behind his sound, Porcelain draws its temperamental inspiration from films like Call Me My Your Name and Andrei Tarkovsky's The Mirror, as well as the sculptures of Anthony Gormley, whose solitary figures stand isolated in expanses of water along the UK coastline. How does Connolly describe the atmosphere he wants the music to evoke? "It's the feeling of the inevitability of something having to pass," he answers. "It's compelling because it's fundamentally unattainable. You're searching and grasping for something that you can never fully hold." A moving, intimate and deeply personal album, Porcelain shimmers in the illusive light of melancholy. For Connolly it provided the release of catharsis, but it's a feeling that will mean something different to everyone who listens.

A note from Mike Cooper: "In the past some reviewers and critics of my series of ambient/electronic/exotic releases mentioned Jon Hassell and even suggested that we should make an album together. That never happened of course and probably never would have. An influence of his music on my exotica music is in some ways true but initially to be honest it was the cover art by Mati Klarwein for Aka/Darbari/Java and Dream Theory in Malaya that I would sometimes turn to look at for inspiration. They reminded me of places that I loved to be and why I was making the music. They were non-existent or imaginary places that I might have visited in dreams or half remembered from real places. Mati also provided art work for the covers of Miles Davis's records, from Bitches Brew onwards and for Carlos Santana amongst many others. There is also a lot of King Tubby and Lee Scratch Perry's influence here in the process as well as the poetry and novels of Nathaniel Mackey which were referenced often during the gestation period." Featuring Mike Cooper (samples, field recordings, voice, lap steel guitars), Pierre Bastien (valve cornet), and Mark Cunningham (trumpet). Mastered by Lawrence English at Negative Space. Design by Traianos Pakioufakis. Cover image by Mike Cooper.

Unavailable since its original release on the Crass side label Corpus Christi in 1987, the much-bootlegged compilation The E.P's Of R.P. finally gets an official reissue on Sealed Records. The LP collects both Rudimentary Peni 7" releases pre-Death Church LP, completing the trilogy of Rudimentary Peni's first era recordings before their first hiatus. The A side contains the band's stunning debut. A breakneck 12-song 7" EP recorded in 1981 at Street Level Studios and originally released on the band's Outer Himalayan label. From the first track Rudimentary Peni pull you in and aurally assault your ears creating the template for many to follow. It's abrasive, sharp, intricate with supreme musicianship and a unique dark sense of humor. They created a perfect, demented universe of twisted, poetic and needle in the red punk often imitated and truly never matched. Flip over for the follow up, the 11 track 7" Farce that was originally released in 1982 on Crass Records. Like most records on the label it benefits massively from John Loder's engineering and Penny Rimbaud production. Farce never lets up the intensity with twisted melodies, a locked in rhythm section and Blinko's much copied anguished vocals that he sings like his life is depends on it. It energetic, manic and 40+ years later nothing comes close to both EP's. While both EPs were originally packed in Nick Blinko's artwork, he created a masterpiece of dark and intricate art with microscopical detail to house their collection. You can literally get lost for hours in it. This reissue replicates it, adding a new printed inner-sleeve and lyric insert.

Simon Popp is back on Squama with his fourth album Trio. At its heart, Trio is a work about collaboration, playfulness and unification. It is music as a means of coming together, a sonic equivalent to the Japanese philosophy of Kintsugi, in which broken ceramics are repaired with a visible golden lacquer. Rather than hiding the breaks, Kintsugi embraces them, making them part of the story, a form of delicate transformation. Popp and his collaborators Flurin Mück and Sebastian Wolfgruber take a similar approach: three distinct drummers, three different temperaments, three personal styles. Fused together into a single expressive instrument. The album is a celebration of timbre, texture, and touch, its sound palette drawn from across continents and traditions. Human beings at all points of time, across all cultures and continents have used music to celebrate, mourn, worship and bond. Along with our voices, creating rhythm with our bodies. Clapping, stomping, hitting with sticks. A celebration of rhythm as both a shared human memory and an audible expression of close bonds. Trio is a reflection of the beauty of imperfection and the timeless pull of rhythm as a shared human force. The cracks are not hidden. They are filled with gold.

Masami Akita, known internationally as Merzbow, stands as a monumental figure in the field of experimental and noise music. With Nine Studies of Ephemeral Resonance Volumes 1-9, he presents a work that extends beyond a purely auditory experience, opening onto a sonic exploration shaped by the subtle influence of Japanese cultural sensibilities and aesthetics. Conceived not as a simple succession of nine separate albums, but as a single unified composition unfolding through nine distinct "studies," the cycle invites the listener on a gradual journey in which each chapter reveals another facet of its overarching vision while illuminating the dialogue between Japan's poetic tradition and a contemporary sonic language. The work reflects this delicate balance, using noise as both medium and message to challenge conventional perceptions of sound and art. The compositions testify to his mastery of feedback, electronics and sonic texture, seamlessly weaving together chaos and structure into a deeply immersive listening experience. In Nine Studies of Ephemeral Resonance, Merzbow not only pushes the boundaries of sonic exploration, but also engages in a deeper reflection on cultural identity and its continuous evolution over time. The box set is not merely a collection of recordings, but a carefully curated experience -- a tangible embodiment of artistic intent designed to be approached as a complete work, whether by dedicated listeners or those newly encountering his practice. It encapsulates the essence of Merzbow's enduringly innovative spirit, standing as a significant contribution for those drawn to the profound interplay between sound, culture, and artistic form. It offers a sonic journey through an intricate tapestry of sound, where the ephemeral nature of resonance itself becomes both subject and experience. This new edition is presented as a 9-CD cardboard box, limited to 199 copies. Inside the box, each disc is housed in a vinyl replica sleeve, accompanied by two Leporello inserts. It is a work that retains the radical edge of Merzbow's practice, while guiding it towards a slower, more contemplative mode of listening, in which noise is no longer only destructive energy but a living material capable of suggesting landscapes, memories and perceptual states.

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

Iqnovara is a band to watch: their debut album, Onderstroom (2024), was immediately picked up and praised by Belgian public radio broadcast Klara. Their follow-up album, O Innocent Heart, is presented by W.E.R.F. records. This album explores the boundaries between jazz and North Indian classical music. For three years, they refined this music in close collaboration with Pakistani sarod maestro Asad Qizilbash. Bandleader, guitarist, and composer Haroun Iqbal deepened his understanding of the North Indian tradition during this period, including a study trip to New Delhi to learn from Shubhendra Rao, a protégé of Ravi Shankar. O Innocent Heart connects both musical worlds in each piece in its own way, always seeking how each musician can shine.

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

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

Color vinyl version. Balmat has always been careful not to call itself an ambient label. But with this release, Balmat turns its ears -- proudly, blissfully -- to a strain of ambient at its most timeless. The appropriately titled Dreams & Whispers comes from Warsaw's Bartosz Kruczyński, who has recorded under a number of guises, Earth Trax, as well as his own name. Over the years, he's touched upon deep house, breakbeats, acid, techno, electro, IDM, and more; often, the throughline running through a given album is simply the refusal to remain in any one place for long -- well, that, and his unusually nuanced ear for harmony and texture. Those qualities come to the fore on Dreams & Whispers, which might be the most focused encapsulation of Kruczyński's atmospheric sensibilities to date. Across 14 stripped-down tracks for shimmer and pulse, Kruczyński evokes overlapping styles in ambient -- warm vibraphones, taut arps, massing strings, lonesome delay chains -- but always with his own twist. Fitting the album's title, the album is loosely divided into two distinct moods: The A-side, "Dreams," is charged with subtle movement, rhythms spreading out like rings around skipped stones, while the B-side, "Whispers," plunges into a zone of shadows and hush. The two complementary moods flow into one another like the faces of a Moebius strip, yielding an album that's intuitively shaped and rich in emotion.

This boxset contains the original soundtracks to the five core works of Andrei Tarkovsky, the master of Soviet cinema: Ivan's Childhood, Andrei Roublev, Solaris, Mirror, and Stalker. The works by Eduard Artemyev and Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov may sound imperfect to the modern ear, but have been sympathetically remastered and presented as close as possible to how striking they would have sounded to audiences at the original film presentations. Deluxe matt-laminate boxset containing 5 CDs in individually-printed card sleeves. Each album is accompanied by an artcard featuring the original Soviet/Japanese cinema posters on its release. The haunting soundtrack for Tarkovsky's 1962 film Ivan's Childhood was composed by the prolific Soviet composer Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov. It features a deeply romantic yet sorrowful 5-note leitmotif that captures the poignancy of innocence lost in war. Ovchinnikov's sweeping score relies on romantic idioms to contrast the harsh realities of the Eastern Front with Ivan's nostalgic, dream-like flashbacks. The soundtrack for the 1966 masterpiece Andrei Roublev was also composed by Vyacheslav Ovchinnikov. The sweeping, evocative score is deeply intertwined with the film's religious and historical themes, with its profound, choral-heavy resonance that perfectly accompanies the film's exploration of faith, art, and Russian history. The composer collaborated closely with Tarkovsky to create a score that captures the raw, earthy reality of 15th-century Russia while elevating the film's stunning visual language. Eduard Artemyev's score for Tarkovsky's 1972 sci-fi masterpiece Solaris is a ground-breaking work of early electronic music. With Tarkovsky envisioning an ambient / mechanical soundscape, Artemyev's futuristic takes on Bach's organ works are combined with haunting, abstract synthesizer drones and environmental noise, all crafted on the famed ANS synthesizer. At atmospheric, dreamlike score that perfectly mirrors the psychological themes of the film. Eduard Artemyev's magnificent soundtrack to Tarkovsky's 1975 film Mirror is the natural follow-up to Solaris. Dense, slow-moving, and often disorienting mood pieces with Baroque sensibilities resonate beyond the film's dream-like images. A combination of monolithic scale and pastoral melody makes the music so intriguing, lush and unique. For Stalker, the third part of Tarkovsky's science fiction trilogy, Eduard Artemyev was inspired by Indian classical music and employed eerie layers of synth tones, flute, harpsichord, and tar (Iranian stringed instrument), as well as choirs, to create a central theme as spellbinding as The Zone, a setting in the film where laws of physics no longer apply. Achingly beautiful.

"Wet is the fifth full length album by Black Meteoric Star and the tenth release. Black Meteoric Star is a project Rayna started in 2006 when she was living in Berlin that brought together her life-long love of dance music culture with spiritual themes, drag, and her formative experiences of S/M culture. Black Meteoric Star has always had an avenger quality in Rayna's life and creative work, and this iteration plays that role in response to the current political landscape. Wet celebrates the long-standing shared history of electronic music and queer leather/SM culture and imagines a future where these two cultural expressions are re-connected. Electronic music and leather/SM are both ways that queer people have historically built community, created and shared knowledge, and kept each other safe. The current administration demonizes and villainizes queer people on the basis of a false moral framework of respectability, and it's a trick. Revitalizing the connection between electronic music and queer leather/SM is a way to affirm the cultural power of both during a time when it has never been clearer that people keep each other safe. Rayna, a transgender woman with a deep commitment to all of these cultural forms, has a strong message to deliver with this album. She has been a DJ and producer of electronic music for over thirty years and has been producing community cultural events for as long. She has also been involved in kink and BDSM for decades and is a well-known and respected DJ in the New York leatherdyke scene. Rayna made international headlines in 2017 when she came out as transgender while touring with LCD Soundsystem. In 2018 she left the Grammy-winning band to pursue projects that were more connected with her queer experience, including founding Voluminous Arts, a cultural organization that supports trans artists. Black Meteoric Star is a continuation of a thread in Rayna's work that runs through her Paper Eyes project and her role in Black Leotard Front. This thread has a comic book or X-rated graphic novel component based around her experiences of being a sad lonely lesbian trans girl who was bullied a lot and found escape and the possibility of being avenged through X-Men comics and Dungeons and Dragons books."

Opposed to his 2013 album All Those Goodbyes, which musically rooted in the early '90s and included a ton of collaborations with friends and long-time partners, Image focuses more on Alex's general musical roots and shows his compositional preferences. Tigerskin's journey leads him from ironic comments on the present times via deep, occasionally melancholic or dark and hypnotic material up to the final tune, a homage to the infamous German brothers, Thomas and Klaus.

Eminent Vinyl present this incredible album on vinyl for the very first time. Steve Young was a pioneering American roots/outlaw/country singer-songwriter whose career spanned over five decades. Beyond the greatness of his own recordings, he saw his compositions covered by everyone from Dolly Parton to Joan Baez to The Eagles. Long Time Rider was originally recorded in the mid '80s, released on cassette in 1987 (which he would sell at shows), then issued on CD in France in 1990 and once again on Australia's Afterburn Records label in 2008. It saw Young experimenting with the Roland Juno 106 synth, mixing a warm, ambient sound with soaring vocals. A truly magnificent and unexpected addition to his catalogue, it's a wondrously loose and freeform sound, highly recommended to fans of Tim Buckley, Lee Clayton, and Townes Van Zandt. This edition comes with all-new artwork by family friend, Margot Walbert (RIP), and insert featuring photos, liner notes and lyrics. More than a mere 'Americana' or "roots" album from the '80s, Long Time Rider is a remarkable, forward-thinking and experimental outing from Steve Young which is ripe for rediscovery.

Marion Poncet delivers his heartbeats in full-length format on Smallville's Fuck Reality. While Traumer might be the most prominent moniker of Romain Poncet, there are countless other musical projects he operates as. And it's the lesser-known side-projects that complete the picture of a truly versatile musical mind. He has always seen his monikers as a form of expression and to showcase his musical broadness. Of course there is house music in all different shades and moods -- but Romain also released techno, downbeat and trippy things for the heads as well as broken beat material. The Raging Swells Crushing The Cliff Of My Love was written during a period of longing for his love -- so here is a deeply personal album as a musical dedication. Expect thoughtful-but-crunchy house music with a chunk, that sounds as if it was made for Smallville's Fuck Reality imprint. Comes as a 2x12", as always with a full cover artwork by Stefan Marx.

The album combines original compositions with radically reimagined classics, transforming them into ritualistic, minimalist yet powerfully charged soundscapes. Instruments such as banjo, cello, hurdy-gurdy and bandoneon create an archaic foundation that perfectly supports the intense and haunting voice of David Eugene Edwards. Folklore remains one of the band's most defining and immersive works-dark, otherworldly and hypnotic. An album that dissolves the boundaries between tradition, myth and contemporary alternative culture.

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

Re-release of Holy Fuck's fifth album originally released in 2020, now on clear vinyl limited to 500 copies. This record features collaborations with Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) Angus Andrew (Liars) and Nicholas Allbrook (Pond). Polyrhythmic and pleasure-focused, Deleter sees Brian Borcherdt, Graham Walsh, Matt Schulz, and Matt "Punchy" McQuaid utilizes their signature sound -- seamlessly fusing the gauzy drive of krautrock and deep house's dreamy ineffability, expertly blending purring motorik percussion with the sort of fuggy synthetic fizz and tang they are renowned for. From the thrusting minimalism of opener "Luxe" through to the triumphant chug of closing track "Ruby," via club-ready rollocker "Free Gloss" and the cosmic clatter of "San Sebastian," Deleter is a record that joins the Holy Fuck dots within their widescreen, technicolor, crescendo- heavy sound. The first single was A listed on Radio 6 and since then their streaming audience has grown by 1 million.

King Tubby and producer Bunny "Striker" Lee are intertwined in the birth of dub music. Tubby's vast knowledge of electronics and Bunny's vast catalogue of rhythms would lay the foundations of what today is taken as a standard: the remix/version cuts to an existing vocal tune. Lee's propensity for hit making was unprecedented. In 1969, 1970, 1971 and 1972 he was awarded the title of Jamaica's Top Producer. In 1971 he won Jamaica's first Gold Record for Eric Donaldson's "Cherry Oh Baby" which was the runaway winner in that year's Festival Song Competition. Alternative instrumental or vocal versions of popular songs had by now become a prevalent part of the musical scene. As a creator of musical trends Striker was second to none and, for the best part of a decade, the rest of the business hung on his every word and tried to copy his every move. Over the years Striker has been one of the few enduring constants in an ever changing cast of characters and, although he rarely records nowadays, he is still one of the most important people in the Jamaican music business.

Splatter color vinyl version. Neil McDonald's love of the outdoors is a constant feature in his music, hence his Lord Of The Isles moniker, a direct reference to the Highlands and islands of his native Scotland. His vivid, effervescent and blissfully cinematic sound paints a soundtrack to unmade films, building imaginary worlds inspired by his childhood passion for science fiction. It is therefore no coincidence that the closing track "Subtle Thoughts" samples the inimitable voice of Carl Sagan and is also the name of his forthcoming album on Lapsus Records. Subtle Thoughts is an album of sumptuous melancholic electronica that, like all his previous works, avoids being pigeonholed. In it is ambient and IDM, but also breaks and down-tempo 4×4 beats with deep ruminations, and even passages akin to new age and Balearic. In Neil's own words, the real concept behind Subtle Thoughts is "The spaces in between. Listening to the quiet voices. Freedom of expression and being open. It also contains my hopes and fears for the future of our world, but mainly hope and love."

Un Plan Perfecto is the fourth studio album by Mandrake y los Druidas, exploring the restless tension between light and darkness. Moving through contrasting musical landscapes, its thirteen songs all bear Alberto "Mandrake" Wolf's unmistakable songwriting signature. Human, existential, and sharply observant, they delve into stories that are both monumental and deeply intimate. For the first time in the band's history, a guest musician joins the journey: the legendary Walter "Nego" Haedo. His contribution not only brings an effortless swing to the Druidas sound but also becomes a driving force behind the band's musical exploration, where rock 'n' roll meets African-rooted rhythms in an irresistible blend. Conceived as an album to be experienced from beginning to end, Un Plan Perfecto brings together and consolidates the decade-long journey of a band that continues to expand its musical universe. Born in Montevideo in 1962, Alberto "Mandrake" Wolf has been one of the defining figures of Uruguayan popular music since the early 1980s. After three decades leading his former band, Los Terapeutas, he returned to the local music scene in 2017 with Mandrake y los Druidas, a supergroup formed alongside a younger generation of musicians and built around a powerful, high-energy take on classic rock 'n' roll. Their self-titled debut album, Mandrake y los Druidas (2017), was warmly received by critics and audiences alike, earning three major Graffiti Awards in 2018: Best Band, Best Album, and Best Rock & Blues Album. In 2020, they released Sortilegio, further developing the band's sound while broadening its musical horizons. Three years later came La Suite de Raymundo, an immersive and uncompromising work built around a 16-minute-and-30-second musical suite, earning two Graffiti Awards in 2024 for Best Songwriter and Best Artwork.

Anushka Chkheidze and Robert Lippok continue their collaboration with The Sky Was Out of Tune. Its eight movements form a long-form ambient piece in constant flux: soundscapes emerge from electronic synthesis and layered textures, while small melodies, rhythmic patterns, metallic noises, or distortions drift through like clouds across the sky. But a sky that is out of tune is still a sky. What shifts is the register in which it speaks. The Sky Was Out of Tune emerges from a live performance for Festival of Future Nows at Berlin's Neue Nationalgalerie. Its organically tangled sounds mirror the artists' attention to nature as a system that is never quite in equilibrium. Ecosystems lean, compensate, tip, and recover -- balance, in the natural world, is not a fixed state but a perpetual negotiation. Chkheidze and Lippok take this as both subject and method. Their sounds shift weight between one another, approach resolution and then withdraw from it, hold tension without release -- they find form in the unstable.

Originally released in 1971, Satori is Flower Travellin' Band's groundbreaking masterpiece and one of the most visionary albums of the early heavy rock era. It fused hard rock, psychedelia, progressive music and traditional Eastern influences into a sound unlike anything heard before. Unlike many rock albums of the era, Satori is structured as a continuous musical journey, with its five tracks presented as interconnected movements rather than conventional songs. The band's powerful rhythm section, extended guitar passages, and the commanding vocals of Joe Yamanaka create an atmosphere that feels both intense and hypnotic. Recorded during a period when Japanese rock was developing its own identity, Satori drew inspiration from Western hard rock and psychedelia while incorporating a unique sense of space, improvisation, and spiritual exploration. Over the decades, the album has gained international recognition among collectors, musicians, and fans of vintage heavy rock, often cited as an overlooked classic that anticipated elements of later hard rock, stoner rock, and heavy metal. More than fifty years after its release, Satori remains as one of the most influential and forward-thinking records in Japanese rock history. Includes an insert.

By late 1981, the San Sebastián-based group La Banda sin Futuro had already transformed into Derribos Arias. Initially, the band was a duo consisting of Poch and Alejo Alberdi, two seemingly opposite personalities who complemented each other perfectly, forming an almost inseparable partnership. Poch handled the guitar with a highly distinctive style -- his technique was not especially polished, but his imagination was boundless. Alejo got to work with a Korg MS-10 synthesizer and a Korg KR55 drum machine, modest tools that ensured their self-sufficiency while connecting them to the more adventurous side of post-punk. Both absorbed music from past and present in a natural and original way. Derribos Arias' first two singles dazzled critics eager for new ideas capable of placing Spanish pop alongside the contemporary music increasingly arriving from abroad in real time. "Branquias bajo el agua," the standout track from the band's debut single, topped the list of Best Songs of 1982 as voted by listeners of Diario Pop on Radio 3 (Spanish National Radio). With an expanded four-piece lineup and a larger budget than they had enjoyed for their earlier singles, the band entered the prestigious Kirios Studios to record their album, with Paco Trinidad serving as producer. The electric intensity of "Íntima decoración" and "Crematorio" -- angular, off-kilter reinterpretations of a strain of rock descended from The Velvet Underground and The Stooges, a style with virtually no precedent in Spain -- are excellent examples of the band's sound. To aberrate was the key term Poch used to describe his ineffable working method: a fearless creative freedom without which songs such as "Lo que hay" could never have existed. The track stands as a leftfield proto-hip-hop number, later reworked as "Disco pocho," demonstrating both his admirable lack of prejudice and his complete disregard for any commercial ambitions the album might have had. Unfortunately, this album would never have a follow-up. Released in 1983, En la guía, en el listín ("In the Directory, In the Phone Book") remains a permanent anomaly in the history of Spanish pop music, with few clear predecessors and even fewer descendants. It is an imperfect yet fascinating catalog of the many faces Derribos Arias could reveal a promise of greatness left unfulfilled when their career was cut short before reaching its full potential. This edition includes liner notes and the artwork of the original insert.

After a brief period during which they recorded only a couple of 7" singles for the Orfeón label that had a very limited distribution, Mexican rockers Antorcha fully embraced a DIY approach to managing their own career. They had evolved into a heavy psychedelic rock group, with no metaphors and no compromises. Anarchists in a country that could barely utter the word without trembling. It was the final years of the 1960s. Their influences came from Iron Butterfly, Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, Vanilla Fudge, and others. At times they also sounded like MC5, the Detroit band they already knew through their records and with whom they shared an anarchist and anti-establishment spirit. Through their original music, they challenged a scene crowded with cover bands. They recorded five self-produced EPs, sold exclusively at their live performances, passed from hand to hand as if each record were a clandestine act. While MC5 stirred the streets of Detroit alongside the White Panthers, Antorcha was doing much the same in a Mexico that preferred to look the other way. The band operated as a cooperative: agreements were reached collectively, and income was shared equally. Antorcha became a forgotten band in their own country, overlooked even by Mexican rock experts. Yet their legacy proved influential on an organizational level for later groups in the independent scene, which followed Antorcha's model of self-releasing and self-managing their work. This compilation brings together the best of their discography, collecting self-released 7" records originally issued between 1971 and 1976, along with material that never appeared on their EPs. Includes an insert featuring liner notes by Carlos Icaza "Tropicaza" and photographs of the band.

Canarios, the band led by Teddy Bautista, was one of the first Spanish groups to incorporate the sounds of emerging musical trends -- primarily from the English-speaking world -- into its repertoire. In 1968, "Get On Your Knees" was released, a stunning soul track recorded by Swiss producer Alain Milhaud that quickly climbed the charts in numerous countries. "To Be A Man" is something of a rarity in the discography of Spanish singer Camilo Sesto, whose songs typically lean toward straightforward melodic pop and ballads. Surrounded by an international team of collaborators under the direction of former Brincos member Juan Pardo as producer, he recorded this psychedelic-tinged pop song.

Originally released on the Bolivian Psicofásico label, this exceptionally rare EP pairs The Seeds' garage anthem "Pushing Too Hard" with the ferocious, immortal "You're Gonna Miss Me" by Roky Erickson and the 13th Floor Elevators. The raw power of the original songs is pushed even further here by the rudimentary recording techniques and the limited instrumental skills of the very young members of The Silver Pumpkins. The result is a one-of-a-kind document -- virtually impossible to find in its original pressing -- that helps complete the picture of Bolivia's fascinating '60s rock scene. First-ever reissue.

NOTON presents 12 Conversations, a collaborative album by Ryuichi Sakamoto and Alva Noto. The partnership between the legendary musician and composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and the German artist Carsten Nicolai (aka Alva Noto) has produced some of the most distinctive and enduring works in contemporary electroacoustic music. Beginning with Vrioon in 2002, the artists spent more than two decades fusing and expanding their disciplines, with Sakamoto's evocative, sustain-drenched piano compositions finding their counterpart in Nicolai's skillful and sensitive electronic detailing. Their distinct approaches achieved a rare synthesis, a brilliantly sustained dialogue between piano and electronics, Sakamoto's warmth and melodic finesse meeting Nicolai's abstract electronic formalism to invoke a mesmeric quietude as deeply satisfying in its melodic resolutions as in the merger of its filmic romanticism and meditative subtlety. 12 Conversations brings together musical exchanges recorded in November and December 2022. Rooted in the same creative period that gave rise to Sakamoto's final solo album 12, these recordings were not originally intended as a standalone release. It was only after the completion of 12 that Sakamoto and Nicolai decided to present these exchanges as a work in their own right. The album reflects the vitality and curiosity that defined more than two decades of shared inspiration: fluid, exploratory, and forward-looking. Created with openness and trust, it captures a creative process in constant transformation -- sounds expanding, altering, and evolving through attentive listening. Conceived as the continuation of an artistic dialogue extending beyond the physical, 12 Conversations honous Sakamoto's wish that these encounters should exist beyond the archive, offering an enduring testament to one of contemporary music's most revered collaborations.

"Some more new music made with a system of hand-drawn, modular passages rearranged in coherent and incoherent signatures. The tracks of At the First Clear Sound are stubbornly absent of improvisation, solos, virtuosity, and compositional form while being full of naïveté, a harsh smoothness, an agitated calm, and inharmonic harmonics. Dazzled by the automatic nature of this modular technique Leimer worked quickly, choosing to respect his mistakes and question his choices. 'As reliant as the music is on computers, samples, digital processing, and typing, this work is still rather imperfect, rather handmade. And, of course, my compulsion to work with infinitely pliant sound is now clearly bordering on mild psychosis.' Technically, there's never a final mix. K. Leimer founded Palace of Lights in 1979. Leimer's work has also been issued by Autumn, First Terrace, Les Giants, Invisible Inc., Origin Peoples, and RVNG. His early cassette work is included in the critically acclaimed VOD box set American Cassette Culture and is included in Cherry Red's Noise Floor series. Leimer has been actively producing music since the mid-1970s -- his current catalog includes solo albums, soundtracks, installations, and collaborative albums with Savant, Marc Barreca, Tyler Boley, and Three Point Circle."

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

Cassette version. The year was 1989, and Derrick May was at a creative peak as both a DJ and producer. Under his Rhythim Is Rhythim moniker, he released a string of landmark records on Transmat, while his residency at Detroit's The Music Institute showcased the distinctive DJ style that would soon take him onto the international stage. Around the same time, he hosted a weekly radio show on Detroit radio station WJLB, alongside influential programs by The Electrifying Mojo and The Wizard (Jeff Mills). For one of these broadcasts, May assembled a 15-minute megamix in his studio during the week leading up to the show. He opened his radio set with this continuous mix, blending his own tracks and versions into a seamless introduction that reflected his approach to DJing at the time. It includes unreleased versions of classics such as "Nude Photo 88" and "Strings Of Life." The original WJLB master tapes have since been lost, and no official recording is known to survive. Fortunately, many listeners recorded the broadcasts at home. One such cassette was preserved by Richie Hawtin. It has been carefully restored and mastered, with the artist's approval. To highlight this remarkable document of techno history, the recording is now available again.

Sorcerer Records have a long-running relationship with the Milwaukee space-rock band known as F/I, having already reissued two of their old '80s albums on LP. The group itself has existed for over 40 years, sprung from that city's punk scene by a group of musicians who were equally inspired by the early industrial sounds of Throbbing Gristle, but also the earlier electronic explorations of Klaus Schulze, Cluster, Conrad Schnitzler, etc. and the fuzzed space-rock of Amon Duul II and Hawkwind. Over the years, they earned fans in Jim O'Rourke and Steve Albini and toured Europe, where they have a particularly dedicated fan base. Blanga was originally released on compact disc in 2005 on the Lexicon Devil label and went out of print over a decade ago, and it saw the core lineup of Richard Franecki, Brian Wensing, and Grant Richter reconvene to release an incredible "comeback" of sorts. Blanga is a mind-frying mix of Hawkwind-style heavy-duty space/psych-rock and raga-like electronic meditations. Featuring newly reconfigured artwork, the sleeve is printed on matte stock, the vinyl on orange/yellow/red mixed colors. 300 copies.

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

Following the events of Pussy Disco, the nights in Hong Kong did not remain a secret for long. Word spread silently through the feline world, and the gatherings grew until the music no longer belonged to a single hidden basement. The cats had found something of their own. Their new destination became Macau. Long after midnight, when the casino floors fall silent and the roulette wheels come to rest, they emerge from hidden passages and forgotten service corridors to throw their own secret parties. The gaming tables become dance floors. The remixes played during these nights were all commissioned by the legendary feline Primadonna Disco Queen Beast (PDQB), reimagining tracks from the original Pussy Disco album. The most celebrated DJ cats perform with nothing but their claws, tracing the grooves like perfectly balanced styli. Their oversized ears become living loudspeakers, carrying every microscopic detail through the vast halls. Before dawn, the music fades. The cats disappear without a sound, leaving the roulette tables exactly as they found them. When the first employees arrive, there is no sign that anything happened during the night. Over the years, PDQB commissioned countless remixes of tracks from Pussy Disco. The eleven collected on this double vinyl were all played during the legendary Sunrise Sessions -- the final hours before daybreak, when the parties reached their absolute peak. These are the remixes the cats returned to again and again, making them the undisputed classics of Macau's underground feline nightlife.

Ten Blue Songs is Jason McNiff's tenth album and, despite the melancholy title, it is a record of celebration. A celebration of the musical life he has spent years trying to build. The album was produced and recorded by Trevor Moss at his studio Bexpop, in Bexhill-on-Sea. The aim was to value feel and performance over technical perfection. The album began totally live in the studio. The best moments of clarinet, double bass, piano and violin were then woven around McNiff's vocal and guitar performances. The result is a studio album that has the feel and immediacy of a live performance. "Nightshift Blues" was inspired by Italo Calvino's short story, "Tale of a Married Couple," set during Italy's post-war economic boom. Elsewhere, "Whoever I Am" takes inspiration from the stripped-back storytelling of Raymond Carver and Ernest Hemingway. McNiff cites "Scared to Love" as the emotional center of the album. "It made me quite uncomfortable to sing that line, to admit that feeling. I almost threw the song away. But I knew that discomfort meant there was something real in it." Jason McNiff was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, in the mid '70s. He was drawn to the guitar from an early age and by the time he moved to London in 1995, he was set on becoming a musician. Copying the guitar style of Mark Knopfler, he crawled the capital's dying blues circuit, jamming, and learning from older players, eventually landing at the Easycome Acoustic Club in Nunhead.

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. Widely regarded as one of the finest recordings in Marcos Valle's catalog, Vento Sul (1972) represents a pivotal moment in his artistic evolution, revealing a composer unafraid to reinvent himself and push the boundaries of Brazilian popular music. From the hypnotic title track to highlights such as "Democústico," "Revolução Orgânica," "Paisagem de Mariana," and "Pista O2," the album remains a breathtaking achievement whose influence continues to resonate more than five decades later. This reissue shines a well-deserved spotlight on a landmark recording -- an essential chapter in Brazilian music and an indispensable addition to any collection of psychedelic, progressive, jazz, or MPB classics. Pressed on 180g vinyl.

"La Balsa" was the first Argentine massive rock hit. In 1967 Los Gatos became the most famous local rock band with this song. At the front, as composer and singer, was Litto Nebbia. Although this milestone has remained eternally linked to Nebbia's name, almost eclipsing the rest of his work, it is really his solo career that unveils the artist's overwhelming talent and his determination to create music freely, regardless of commercial considerations. Fuera del cielo (1975) is an art rock/space jazz masterpiece infused with prog scents from one of the true legends of Argentinian rock. The sounds of floating acoustic pianos, organ and harpsichord, basslines and even bandoneon combine with Litto's own voice and create a unique blend of deep and delicate beauty. It is an album to be filed next to the highly acclaimed Bazar de los milagros and Cosas que no quieren morir, released the following year, creating an outstanding body of work that represents Nebbia's talent at its best. Nebbia's genius transcends beyond the Southern Hemisphere. The international scene of DJs and vinyl collectors shows signs of its taste for Litto Nebbia recordings, now highly sought after in their original editions, probably as part of a rediscovery of little-explored global sounds, within a journey through music always hungry for exciting new sounds. First time vinyl reissue, remastered sound.

Bloque 6 (1968), by Juan Carlos Calderón, is a landmark recording in the history of modern jazz in Spain, markedly different from the albums Calderón would record just a few years later under the influence of funk, disco music, and even flamenco. Juan Carlos Calderón enjoyed a long and successful career, composing and arranging some of the most iconic songs by Spanish artists such as Joan Manuel Serrat, Mocedades, and Ana Belén, among many others. However, his musical beginnings were closely tied to the world of jazz. His training as a pianist and the restless, adventurous spirit he shared with his brothers -- alongside whom he opened one of Spain's first jazz clubs, a venue that welcomed many of the world's leading jazz figures -- shaped the early stages of his career and led him into the jazz scene. His recording debut came in 1968 with the release of Juan Carlos Calderón presenta a Juan Carlos Calderón, followed a few months later by Bloque 6. For the recording of this album, he assembled a group of prominent Spanish jazz musicians, including Pedro Iturralde, Vlady Bas, and Pepe Nieto. The repertoire combines original compositions, such as the outstanding "Sambando," with interpretations of works by Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, and Oliver Nelson. The album's sound invites comparison with Nelson's celebrated "The Blues and the Abstract Truth" period, reflecting strong hard bop and modal jazz influences. In 1969, the album was awarded Best International Jazz Album of the Year in the United States, and years later it was reissued on CD by the prestigious Blue Note label. First time vinyl reissue.

Trio Ternura was a true family project, made up of three Brazilian siblings with deep musical roots. They recorded a couple of albums and quite a few 7" s with exclusive tracks that never made it into the LPs. Lesser known than the highly sought-after "A Gira," yet every bit as perfect for the dancefloor, "Razão De Ser" (1972) blends Brazilian scents, soul music, and stunning vocal harmonies into a timeless masterpiece. On the flip side comes "O Mensageiro," an uptempo and catchy tune that's sure to set the dance floor ablaze. These single-only songs are reissued here for the first time and cut at 45 RPM for superior sound quality.

Eliseo Pech was a saxophonist born into a family from Yucatán, Mexico, with deep musical roots. He later settled in Quintana Roo, in southern Mexico, close to the border with Belize. From there came the strong influence of ska and reggae. In the early 1970s, he formed the band Ely Combo, which was soon joined by Belizean singer Anthony Jones. Together they recorded only a couple of albums, packed with covers of reggae and funk hits. This single brings together two of those tracks: Isaac Hayes' classic "Shaft," and the dancefloor favorite "Express Yourself," originally recorded by Charles Wright & The Watts 103rd St. Rhythm Band.

Rich Oddie of Orphx and Alex Pi of Pi Electronics introduce Anaxia, a new project arriving on Veyl with the 7-track LP Maska. Built from raw electronics, stripped-down drum machines and a stark post-punk pulse, the record sits somewhere between industrial pressure and the ghostly minimalism of Suicide. It is direct but shadowed, physical but restrained, with vocals from Oddie and Pi cutting through the machinery rather than sitting on top of it. Oddie's background in Canada's industrial underground and Pi's long-running connection to the Greek electronic scene meet in a sound that feels tense, reduced and fully intentional. KAOSMOS and Florian Engerling add additional vocals, while remixes from In Trance 95 and Veyl regulars Years of Denial extend the material into darker, more hypnotic territory. With Maska, Anaxia deliver a debut that feels fully formed: nocturnal, focused and stripped to its essentials. A natural fit for Veyl, the record draws a line between post-punk, industrial electronics and body music without overexplaining itself.

"Ruby of Thanks is the songwriting and home-recording project of Hudson Valley musician Andy Weaver. A fourth-generation New Yorker, Weaver is also a house painter and drummer whose work has included Widowspeak, Castanets, Wildflower, and Andre Ethier. With Ruby of Thanks, he turns toward something quieter: intimate, handmade songs that find beauty in ordinary life. Before You Turn Into A Dog is the project's second full-length album. Split between solo recordings made at Weaver's home in Kingston -- where he played every instrument himself -- and collaborative sessions with friends in Cairo and Catskill, the record values process as much as polish. Several songs preserve their very first complete performances, documenting ideas as they emerge rather than after they've been refined. 'Hopefully it captures some spirit of creation,' Weaver says. 'The idea of songwriting as a way to process events and create peace at home by working with your hands, making things. Self-recording as a response to capitalism in art.' That philosophy gives Before You Turn Into A Dog its quiet gravity. These songs dwell in everyday rituals and fleeting moments of transcendence, moving through love, depression, work, and the search for peace with remarkable patience and generosity. Weaver's warm acoustic guitars, understated melodies, and homespun recordings never ask for attention -- they earn it through honesty, intimacy, and careful craft. There are echoes of artists like Little Wings, John Andrews, and the Yawns, and Hand Habits, but Ruby of Thanks resists easy comparison. Like the records that have long defined the Woodsist orbit, Before You Turn Into A Dog feels less like a statement than a place to inhabit: unhurried, deeply human, and quietly transformative."

After many requests to reissue the seldom heard cassette EPs and VHS releases, Akuphone compiled this archival release which illuminates Ak'Chamel's early development from 2008 as enigmatic practitioners of post-apocalyptic folk and ritual psychedelia. These recordings capture the group's signature sound in its most primal form: thoroughly f*cked lo-fi production, warped tape hiss, detuned instruments, and melancholic hysteria captured on cassette.

Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. For Wüsthoff, music began long before Faust. As a child he watched his father lose himself in music, playing accordion renditions of operettas, film themes and folk songs with complete absorption. At eleven he discovered jazz through a radio program tracing its history, then taught himself guitar and piano as a teenager, developing an instinctive relationship with sound driven by curiosity rather than convention. Produced by Onnen Bock alongside Bureau B's Gunther Buskies, Fliegen Lernen continues that philosophy. Drawn from decades of archived recordings, new studio experiments and collaborations with musicians in Hamburg, it is a living extension of Faust's open-ended creative spirit. Ideas emerge through chance as much as intention, with sounds, words and stories setting one another in motion until they gradually find their own form. Its title, simultaneously suggesting "flies are learning" and "learning to fly," perfectly captures the playful shifts in perspective that have long defined Wüsthoff's work. Throughout Fliegen Lernen, Wüsthoff revisits and reimagines ideas that have animated his career for more than half a century. Much of the material grew from electronic sequences discovered in his archive, some echoing the patterns behind the homemade "Spieluhr" frequency-divider and sequencer he built during his Faust years. By turns humorous, reflective, cinematic and groove-driven, Fliegen Lernen demonstrates that Wüsthoff's creative imagination remains as restless as ever. Rather than recreating the past, it embodies the same openness that made Faust so singular in the first place: a belief that any sound, object or passing observation can become the spark for something unexpected. More than fifty years after those formative experiments, Wüsthoff continues to approach music as an act of curiosity, collaboration and continual discovery.

Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. Werner "Zappi" Diermaier has spent decades channeling spontaneity into a unique rhythmic language; a direct, instinctive and vital beat born from the creative freedom which has long defined the spirit of Faust. This same intuitive approach is at the heart of his new LP Gugaruz, created in collaboration with Dirk Dresselhaus (Schneider TM) and Elke Drapatz, a record which grew organically from shared experiences, chance encounters and the energy of collective interaction. The project's unlikely starting point came in a Vietnamese restaurant, when Diermaier pointed to a piece of pickled baby corn and exclaimed "Gugaruz", an Austrian dialect word for maize. That small moment triggered a chain reaction of ideas that would eventually shape the album's imagery, titles and sound world. Popcorn cooking in a kitchen both became the source material for field recordings used on the opening track and inspired the cover artwork, establishing a process in which everyday sounds and environments became integral musical elements. Throughout the album, Diermaier's percussion serves as both foundation and driving force. His playing is entirely intuitive, developed in real time through improvisation and close interaction with the other musicians. Initial sessions as a trio, with Elke Drapatz operating the drum effects and trigger module and Dirk Dresselhaus on bass, were recorded in the latter's ZONE studio in Berlin over a day and a half, before Uwe Bastiansen and Ilpo Väisänen added overdubs in Hamburg and Kuopio, Finland. Shaped by the dialogue between Diermaier's intuitive rhythmic approach, the interplay between Dresselhaus, Drapatz, Bastiansen and Väisänen and the use of the studio as an instrument, the album captures inspiration at its source, preserving the immediacy, energy and unpredictability of the moment in which it was created.

Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. Since childhood, Jean-Hervé Peron has embraced creativity wherever he finds it. Whether duetting with the sound of his footsteps, collaborating with cement mixers or experimenting with whatever instrument he can get his hands on, play is at the heart of everything he does. This new album gathers ideas, memories and unfinished projects accumulated across his whole lifetime. Its tongue-in-cheek subtitle, "Maybe Of Interest," offers a typically Peronian joke: MOI can suggest a certain self-confidence or egocentrism, yet the subtitle gently undercuts it, revealing the vulnerability, humor and self-awareness that run throughout the record. In fact, MOI is anything but solitary. Credited to FaUSt, with the "US" deliberately capitalized, the record reflects Péron's belief in collaboration, friendship and collective creativity, bringing together a wide network of musicians, engineers, writers and performers from across the extended Faust family. In fact, more than twenty people contributed to the recording sessions, making MOI as much a collective endeavor as a personal statement. Recorded over two winter weeks at Schiphorst studio in northern Germany and deftly combining the contradictory forces of meticulous planning, free improvisation and chance discovery, MOI draws equally from childhood memories, Fluxus principles, dadaist humor and deeply personal experiences. The resulting album moves effortlessly between musique concrète, avant-pop, jazz, spoken word and experimental electronics, united by Péron's curiosity and irrepressible sense of play. Throughout the record, Jean-Hervé Péron presents FaUSt as a living network of friendships, ideas and creative exchanges.

Over the years, Faust has become many things, distinct as fingers, yet united as the hand that forms the fist. This series of new LPs on Bureau B sees each living member of the legendary 1971-1974 line up present their own interpretation of the Faustian myth, working alone or with collaborators to create new material that reflects their contemporary vision of what Faust can be. For over half a century, Hans Joachim Irmler has pursued the outer limits of sound. As a child, he would neglect his flute to pluck at the strings of his grandmother's zither, cutting his fingers in search of greater resonance and volume. Drawn from an early age to the physical power of sound, he eventually found his instrument in the organ, whose vast sonic range offered seemingly endless possibilities; he still performs on the first organ he built himself. Expanding his sonic palette with synthesizers, tape manipulation and self-modified electronics, Irmler has relentlessly treated music less as composition than as a force of nature, capable of overwhelming, disorienting, destabilizing and transforming both performer and listener alike. Ungebunden continues this trajectory. Recorded alone in the Faust studio in Scheer over the course of just three weeks, the album does not revisit Faust as a repertoire or a historical artefact, but as a continuous vessel for pure creativity. Working largely through improvisation, Irmler begins with little more than a direction or impulse, allowing the material to reveal its own logic as it unfolds. Massive synthesizer figures advance through roaring distortion while pulsing waveforms, whistles and electronic chatter orbit around them. At once oppressive and playful, structured and chaotic, this album embodies the tension at the heart of Irmler's process. Through Ungebunden, Hans Joachim Irmler poses Faust as a question, its sound a force capable of unsettling assumptions, disrupting perception and opening unforeseen possibilities.

"Bright Madness is the third album from the pinch-me-is-this-real improvising trio of Wendy Eisenberg, David Grubbs, and Bonner Kramer. Fresh off their 2025 Big Ears appearance, Squanderers slid on over to Kramer's adopted hometown of Asheville, North Carolina and laid down the glorious afternoon's worth of instant compositions that stands before you. It's the sound of Eisenberg, Grubbs, and Kramer doing their damnedest to dazzle one another. Bright Madness follows If a Body Meet a Body and Skantagio, two full-length Squanderers offerings on Kramer's Shimmy-Disc label. As Raphael Helfand concluded in his Pitchfork review of If a Body Meet a Body, 'What we're left with is not so much a pristine work of collective genius as a testament to the transcendence that can occur when a group of individual geniuses sit down together with no greater aim than melding their minds for a while. If only all our squanderings could be so fruitful.' Wendy Eisenberg is an improviser and songwriter who uses guitar, pedals, the tenor banjo, the computer, the synthesizer, and the voice. Their work spans genres, from jazz to noise to avant-rock to delicate songs; their performances span venues, from international festivals to intimate basements. Though often working solo as both a songwriter and improviser, they also perform in the rock band Editrix, and in endless other combinations of their heroes and peers including Bill Orcutt, Caroline Davis, Ryan Sawyer, and John Zorn.

Beat Records reissues on CD the brilliant OST by Ennio Morricone for the romantic film La notte e il momento, directed in 1995 by Anna Maria Tatò with a screenplay by Anna Maria Tatò and Jean-Claude Carrière, photography by Giuseppe Rotunno, editing by Ruggero Mastroianni, music by Ennio Morricone. Morricone perfectly represented the eighteenth century in music with a fascinating orchestral soundtrack introduced by the cheerful and fast-paced baroque main theme. The composer always created atmospheres balanced between romanticism and comedy. The love theme emerges in "La notte e il momento," which listeners hear again in "The loving game" sung by Simona Patitucci. The purely eighteenth-century atmosphere is produced by the sound of "Un clavicembalo," the mysterious and suspended string tremolos acting as background in "Spiegazioni di torture," and a solemn march for wind instruments and strings in "Tromba e cavalli." In 1995, Sony published a CD prepared by the composer, and in 2011, GDM reissued this music on CD with the addition of six bonus tracks for which Ennio Morricone gave his approval. This presentation returns this OST to the market as a tribute to the musical brilliance of Ennio Morricone.

Beat Records reissues on CD the OST by Ennio Morricone for the drama film Il pentito, directed in 1985 by Pasquale Squitieri with a screenplay by Pasquale Squitieri, Laura Toscano, Lino Jannuzzi, Orazio Barrese, and Franco Marotta. In 1985, Ennio Morricone prepared a twelve-track album that never saw the light of day at the time, but ten years later, in 1995, the material was released on GDM Point paired with "Corleone." In 2007, under Ennio Morricone's supervision, Il pentito was expanded on GDM CD with the addition of eight bonus tracks. Now, this presentation, taken from the stereo masters of the original sessions, is back on the market.

Swedish producer and DJ Axel Boman presents a new label, Blurry, with the release of a new album -- Tell It To The Mountain -- a collaboration between Axel Boman himself and acclaimed German producer Superpitcher. "I've dreamed of having a platform where I can experiment with art and music for a while now and this album feels like the perfect project to launch it with" says the Studio Barnhus co-founder. Swiss wiz kid and long-time friend Laurenz Brunner is enlisted for the art direction and will make sure that Blurry won't be following trends or holding back on bold ideas. The story behind Tell It To The Mountain, the first album to be released on Blurry, begins with a transformative hike to Sweden's Helags Glacier. Three days of pushing both mental and physical abilities to the max left Axel and Superpitcher in a state of mind that was equal exhaustion and inspiration. In that state they began making music that felt like it was writing itself; boundaryless and beautiful, pushed by instinct rather than thought, inspired by this overwhelming experience. "I've admired Superpitcher for decades now. He is a master of suspense, melody, repetition and groove. He has been highly influential in my own work and I've been wanting to collaborate with him for years" says Axel.

Surfing on a sun-drenched wave of psychedelia comes Brighton's very own Wax Machine. Primarily recorded and mixed in a closet room directly above a mortuary, their self-produced album Hermit's Groove is a heady trip through progressive psychedelia, kitsch Italian library music and Brazilian tropicalia. Wax Machine is the project of Brazilian-born, Italian/English-raised Lau Ro, who takes a deep dive into their Brazilian heritage on this LP, taking inspiration from '60s tropicalia music and movement and the likes of Os Mutantes, Caetano Veloso, and Gal Costa. The album features a version of "Canto De Iemanja" from Vinicius De Moraes and Baden Powell's seminal 1966 Brazilian album Os Afro sambas. "Canto De Iemanja" is about the goddess of the sea Iemanja, a chant Lau has often found themselves singing to the sea in their hometown of Brighton. Album opener "Guardians of Eden" is carried in on a cloud of flutes and birdsong. The first half celebrates the light and beauty of this world, while the second half is a reflection on the shadow of our existence here. The three minute, psychedelic explosion of "Springtime" is a "meditation on the cycles of nature, the dance of duality, the swinging of the cosmic pendulum." Two EPs in 2018 preceded their debut album Earthsong of Silence in 2020, with Clash Magazine declaring that Wax Machine "occupy a space somewhere in the gaps where English psych-folk, sun drenched West Coast sounds, Brazilian Tropicália and spiritual jazz overlap."

Ouzo Bazooka enchant on Kapaim, drawing listeners through a maze of hypnotic, head snapping grooves, cosmic string bending, and swirling guitar explorations. As trailblazers of the new Middle Eastern psychedelia movement, the band fuse traditional folk sounds with gritty soul, funk, and rock. Their latest release is a testament to their boundary-pushing spirit, offering a soundscape that is both otherworldly and deeply rooted. Across five albums and a decade, Ouzo Bazooka have gained acclaim for their pioneering blend of Middle Eastern sounds, psych, and surf rock. The band has achieved international recognition for their music and performances, from the UK all the way to Japan. Kapaim (Hebrew for "palms") sees Kinrot refining the Ouzo Bazooka sound back into a largely solo endeavor. With more space to experiment, the mostly instrumental album is beautifully arranged and given room to breathe. The bass grooves, wonky synth motifs, head-nodding percussion, and soaring guitar solos create a hypnotic and uplifting experience. Opening the album, "Asia" begins with an almost pensive bassline that initiates a languid groove. As drums, guitars, and synths join, the melody feels both thoughtful and nostalgic yet hopeful. The consistent bassline conveys a sense of roots and continuity as the song evolves. The title track, "Kapaim," urges listeners to clap along to a groove as solid as steel, fusing the legendary New Orleans instrumental funk of The Meters with snake-charming synths and cosmic Anatolian guitar licks. An otherworldly intro gives way to a tight bass-and-funk groove reminiscent of Bob James' heavily sampled "Nautilus" on "Seed," before Kinrot makes a rare vocal appearance, imagining himself as a seed at the center of the universe. The album recalls the cinematic depth of David Axelrod but with a distinctive Middle Eastern/Mediterranean touch. Fans of Glass Beams, Derya Yıldırım, LA LOM, and hip-hop producer Oh No's sample-heavy tour of Turkish, Lebanese and Greek psych, Dr. No's Oxperiment, will find much to love. A testament to Kinrot's incredible talent -- not least his meticulous arranging, production skills, and ear for soul, funk, and psychedelic rock, as well as his ability to blend musical traditions across cultures and eras -- Kapaim carries a deep emotional resonance. It is Ouzo Bazooka's most personal and addictive album to date, radiating joy, creativity, and a spirit of boundless freedom.

"Keen listeners who have dug below the surface of Oren Ambarchi's triple-digit discography know that alongside hypnotic minimalism, veins of irreverent and joyously wayward exploration run deep. Cooked is something of a landmark in Oren's work, bringing this gloriously cuckoo sensibility right into the heart of his most high-profile solo work. Carrying on the grand Ambarchi tradition of meticulously constructed all-star studio jams, Cooked brings together collaborators from Australia, Germany, Japan and Sweden for two side-long epics where the foot keeps tapping even as the mind boggles. Beginning with piano ripples from Eiko Ishibashi, after only a few seconds 'Hidden Tableau' takes an unexpected turn with the entrance of a groaning synthetic voice. The first half of the piece develops as an oddly moving concerto for this moaning and growling ghost in the machine and a delicate backdrop of piano, organ-like tones, and Oren's signature shimmering Leslie guitar. As the beautifully flexible swing of Joe Talia's drums enters, the harmonies fill out into woozy clouds and the synthetic voice seems to morph into something approaching a mutant trumpet. In a left turn that seems to come out of nowhere yet make an inexplicable kind of sense, the piece is then overtaken by patterns of intricate guitar and synthetic arpeggios. These might be Jim O'Rourke on synth, but who knows? Cooked is a long way from the spacious, light-dappled grooves of Ghosted, but Oren's Swedish bandmates play starring roles here, with Johan Berthling's double bass anchoring both sides, and drummer Andreas Werliin lending his delicate touch to the second piece, 'Sleight of Hand.' Beginning with glistening layers of electric 12-string guitar, 'Sleight of Hand' takes some key cues from electric Miles touchstones like 'Feio' or his epic take on David Crosby's 'Guinnevere,' with Berthling's sparse basslines punctuating an almost weightless cornucopia of shifting detail, glimmering with subtle contributions from Michiko Ogawa on sho and James Rushford on a panoply of acoustic keyboards. Suddenly, everything is overwhelmed by a knotty, hyper-complex 'solo' from Marcus Pal on digital synthesis, teleporting us to an alternate history where Allan Holdsworth traded the SynthAxe for Xenakis' UPIC. Building with additional drums and percussion from Will Guthrie to a peak of sizzling intensity, the music then goes sideways into a gently surreal coda, where some distinctly Zawinul-esque chords and Fredrik Rasten's guitar float over a sprightly rhythm box, the avian inventions of Swedish virtuoso whistler Isak Hedtjärn wafting atop the sunlit stew. It's certainly Cooked, but not overcooked."

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

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

Three decades into their extraordinary journey, the legendary Istanbul-based collective BaBa ZuLa return with XXX -- a hypnotic, uncompromising and undeniably vital statement of artistic freedom. Weaving together shapeshifting rhythms, hypnotic saz-driven atmospherics, and deep sonic rituals, the new album celebrates a band that has spent the past thirty years continuously redefining the possibilities of Turkish psychedelic music. There are few groups in contemporary music whose work becomes more unpredictable with time. Fewer still who, after thirty years of existence, sound more adventurous, stranger and more radical than ever before. BaBa ZuLa belong to that rare category. Often mentioned alongside other internationally acclaimed voices of the Turkish psychedelic resurgence, such as Gaye Su Akyol, Altın Gün, and Derya Yıldırım & Grup Şimşek, BaBa ZuLa have always ventured furthest into experimentation, improvisation and unconventional song forms. Their music long ago transcended the boundaries of psychedelic rock, evolving into a singular sonic universe where Anatolian traditions collide with dub, electronics, performance art, avant-garde aesthetics and ritualistic trance. It is no coincidence that over the years they have collaborated with visionary artists such as Mad Professor, Jaki Liebezeit of Can, members of Faust and Einstürzende Neubauten and Warren Ellis of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds. Each encounter left its trace, yet none altered the essence of the band. BaBa ZuLa have remained committed to their own path -- restless, exploratory and defiantly resistant to fashions and definitions. XXX is the latest chapter in their story. The album moves through dreamlike narratives, social commentary and contemporary mythologies. Pulsating rhythms, transformed saz textures, analogue electronics and hypnotic grooves create a space where reality and imagination dissolve into one another. True to form, XXX balances instrumental excursions and exploratory taksims with a series of original texts that are unmistakably BaBa ZuLa's own. By turns playful, visionary and fiercely political, they draw connections between folklore, urban life, ecology, memory and resistance, grounding the album's sonic adventures in a deeply human narrative. The album also features contributions from guest musicians İklim Tamkan (synthesizer, organ) and Eylül Güntekin (double bass), whose performances subtly expand the group's sonic palette while remaining fully immersed in the band's unmistakable musical language.

La Proyección, the debut LP by Jose María Lluch, an architect and musician from San Sebastián, emerges as a transition -- a gradual shift that unfolded over time. Intimate and innocent, disconnected and erratic at times, the 11 compositions presented here are drawn from recordings spanning nine years, between 2015 and 2024. Humbly assembled in his home studio, the music invites listeners to let their minds drift as the processes of composition, recording, and editing intertwine. Field recordings from everyday life, fingerpicked guitar, soothing harmonics, tape manipulation, and ethereal soundscapes are combined with a naïve openness. The album reveals the joy found in imperfection. Rarely do audiences have the chance to glimpse someone's work in its most unguarded form, without a specific context, after years spent making music simply as a way to break away -- not for anyone else, but for oneself. The songs on La Proyección reveal that very essence, shaped by a shared memory.

Continuing from where he left, Iker is back with Sinkronia. A gripping takes on Eastern and Western minimalist traditions influenced by the likes of Steve Reich, Suso Saiz or Midori Takada. Transcendental and esoteric rhythmic wonders that take time to unfold. A young percussionist and guitar player with electronic interests displaying a rich sonority and a great sense of structure and arrangements. This record shows the refinement of Iker's attributes, who initially worked in the noise/punk scene and now is part of the local free jazz/improv landscape of San Sebastian, although he currently lives in New York where he has been playing several gigs including a rendition of Glenn Branca's Symphony No. 13 at Lincoln center with 100 guitarists. For this new album he uses Xylophone, hand drums, electric guitar, synths and percussion instruments that guide listeners in an energetic way to territories somewhere between Italian avant-garde, Japanese New Age and American Minimalism. Iker Munduate Thusberg is a Basque multi-instrumentalist born and raised in San Sebastian and with strong ties to Mikkeli in Finland, where half of his family are from. A fine arts student at Bilbao's UPV (Basque university), his interest in sound, art and design has led him to combine all these different disciplines and convey them into his music and his work.

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

Amsterdam producer Baril returns to Intercept with his most personal work to date. In Between Highs was written in a short, turbulent stretch of 2024, a year marked by family illness and personal loss. Rather than dwell in despair, Baril channels the in-between state into something hopeful: music that acknowledges pain while reaching for escape, relief, and euphoria. In Between Highs marks a valley, framed optimistically, kind of like the calm before the next ascent. Through warm, melodic textures and rhythmic flow, Baril offers both personal relief and a shared refuge for listeners navigating their own dips. It follows a steady arc of releases on Intercept. With In Between Highs, Baril sharpens the focus: the sound is organic, euphoric and unfiltered.

Double LP version. It's as sure as night follows day, one of the last truly reliable things in these uncertain times, a rock in the storm of information overload, and still one of the best things you can make from PVC: The new Total compilation is here! Cheerful opener "Xtasy" comes from the up-and-coming Cologne-based Dj H0tline. If it says "Ecstasy" on the label, that's exactly what's inside. The term "legend" is all too often bandied about lightly. In the case of Orlando Voorn, it's almost an understatement. His "So Deep Remix" is a goosebumps-inducing masterpiece in its purest form. Frankey & Sandrino haven't visited for a while, but their key still fits the lock. "Disruption" might expand your consciousness! Ah, nobody grapples so beautifully with life's big questions as Tee Mango, but what would the world be without melancholy? Team 85e, newly formed around Jörg Burger, takes on a classic from the German songbook by Ton Steine Scherben and opens hearts with the same ease as others open tins of beer. Speaking of hearts, Michael Mayer pays tribute to the successful Artemis 2 lunar mission. SOG, aka Wolfgang Voigt, agrees wholeheartedly. Sometimes all it takes is a bass drum, eight notes and a bit of love for total satisfaction. Robag Wruhme does what he does best: luring listeners down the proverbial rabbit hole like the White Rabbit, just not quite so frantically. Jürgen Paape, together with Fenja Ludwig, doesn't pull a rabbit out of the hat, but rather a modern dub-techno hit. Finally, it's time to sit back and relax with Reinhard Voigt and just let things be. Cocktail or beer? The main thing is: it's cold.

The man with the hat returns to where it all began. A lot of water has flowed down the Rhine since Rune Reilly Kölsch set out 16 years ago to conquer the raving planet with "Loreley." But just as that rock stands firm against the floodwaters, so too is Kölsch's instinct for great tracks, great emotions, and great moments. "Anti Promi Energie" is yet another track that generates incredible energy with astonishing ease. The B-side isn't just a true standout within the Kölsch canon; it also opens a remarkable new chapter in the label's history: "Verschwinden" can best be described as techno-folk-or simply as the ideal final track after a night of partying, before the dawn swallows up the happy souls.

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

Cinevox Records, in collaboration with AMS and Beat Records Company, presents the first-ever vinyl release of Il Secondo Tragico Fantozzi's soundtrack, marking the 50th anniversary of the theatrical release of Fantozzi II. Fantozzi II, directed again by Luciano Salce, is the sequel to the highly successful first film, released just a year earlier. It picks up on the original plot, expanding it with numerous new situations involving Italy's most famous accountant, played by Paolo Villaggio. The soundtrack, composed by Franco Bixio, Fabio Frizzi, and Vince Tempera, draws inspiration from the previous album's mood and quickly becomes a true cultural marker for the Fantozzi film phenomenon. It shrugs off the idea of simply reworking the previous year's score and quickly stands on its own two feet. Available on vinyl for the first time, this 50th anniversary edition features the period poster photo on the cover, depicting Paolo Villaggio as a lightning rod. The 12-inch crystal white vinyl is available in 400 exclusive copies, mastered by Claudio Fuiano, and graphic design by Daniele De Gemini.

Further Explorations follows on from Gentle Fire's 3CD retrospective box set Explorations, released in 2020. These new archive recordings came to light in the process of unearthing the tapes for the 4CD box set by their fellow Stockhausen collaborators Intermodulation. The pieces used on this CD are taken from two sessions recorded for German radio in 1973 and 74, one for Sender Freies Berlin and the other for Hessischer Rundfunk in Frankfurt. These beautifully recorded and preserved pieces are finally rescued from the depths. Gentle Fire were a quintessentially British group and these recordings have about them a similar atmosphere to much of the music on Brian Eno's Obscure Records series and would not have been out of place on this predominantly Anglophilic label. Slow, eccentric and experimental are terms that come to mind. Of the five pieces they play on this CD three are devised by members of the group, and one piece each by the Berlin composer Erhard Grosskopf (a text-based piece with instruments, live electronics and tape) and "Edges" (a different version to the one on the 1974 LP by Gentle Fire), by the legendary Christian Wolff. Over 79 mins of music by a group that failed to get much attention in the history books. Comes in a 6-panel card cover with 8-page booklet. Hand numbered edition of 500.

Clear vinyl with red blood splatter, housed in a red and metallic silver sleeve. The Swedish underground legends return with a brand-new album. Let this reddit user take over: "Listening to Brainbombs has been one of my weirdest experiences with music. Brainbombs are most definitely a band. I guess at the core they're a hardcore punk/noise rock hybrid I guess? But? It's so unlike anything I've ever heard and I still don't know if it's good or bad. I saw the edgelord Ed Gein album cover, and it intrigued me, so I listened to their biggest song and it was easily THE WORST thing I had EVER FUCKING HEARD. I shut it off as soon as it got to the vocals. I was shocked by the fact that it had almost a half million streams. But, a few hours later, I clicked on it again and didn't know why. Over the past few days, I've listened to all of their discography and looped a lot of it. And I don't even think I like them. The music is abysmal, it's the same single riff and verse repeating for 5 minutes. To make it worse, the vocals are just a guy with a Swedish accent awkwardly talking about murder and rape. That sounds awful right? It is awful. But at the same time I want to keep listening? It's so childishly edgy and obnoxiously repetitive but so. intriguing? Catchy? I'm not even sure. It's one of if not the weirdest experience I've ever had with music and I don't know how to feel about it."

Purple marble vinyl with Japanese style obi. Osaka quartet HIBUSHIBIRE return with their fifth studio album Phantom Fuzzy Exotica. Phantom Fuzzy Exotica continues to find the band exploring their own little universe, where psychedelia, '70s hard rock and folk rock influences collide. You've got the short punchy riff heavy songs, the mellow time-out bits, and of course the epic psych jams and more vocals then previously. It's all here, and as always they deliver the goods. Phantom Fuzzy Exotica in the band's own words: "The initial image behind this album was 'phantoms' -- things that seem to exist, yet somehow don't. Another thing that sets this album apart from our previous releases is that four of the five tracks feature vocals. The only instrumental is 'Invocation and Ritual Dance of the Electric Nonsense.' We didn't consciously plan it that way; it just happened naturally. After finishing last year's tour, we didn't have much time, but everyone's ideas came together, and I think we've created an album we're truly satisfied with. 'Mandrake Oracle': The opening track of the album. Built around a single guitar riff by changchang, while the other instruments and electronics keep pushing the music forward. Personally, I imagined Deep Purple playing a Pink Floyd song while writing this one. 'Minagoroshi Western': Imagined as the soundtrack to a fictional spaghetti western. In the end -- everybody dies. 'Daydream Rendezvous:' A piece of daydream acid psychedelic folk. 'Invocation and Ritual Dance of the Electric Nonsense': Hard psychedelic jazz rock. The title is a little nod to Frank Zappa. 'Ai Vist Lo Lop' (Cover): I've always loved 'Ai Vist Lo Lop' by the wonderful Occitan traditional band Mont-Jòia, and I'd wanted to cover it someday. We especially enjoyed creating the a cappella section and finding the right sound for the main melody."

"A clerestory -- a bright or 'clear' level or 'story' -- is an upper section of wall, most often in a church punctuated by windows. It is a powerful image for grasping this luminous new music from Jules Reidy. Light casts shadows, of course, and logics of shadowing, mirroring, and distorted reflection -- of key importance for Reidy's work as a whole -- inform the sumptuous surfaces of Clerestory. 'Shadow Symmetric' is a string quartet commissioned and performed by the JACK Quartet as part of their JACK Studio program. Reidy's pairing with the quartet is felicitous: JACK are one of the preeminent new music ensembles working today, with a particular interest in just intonation, an important component of Reidy's music. It is primarily a music of harmony, but rhythmic organization is key to its effect: arranged as successive harmonic blocks that at times overlap, with staggered introductions of the quartet's four voices often serving to key the listener's attention into the blurring of the near-unison pitches, the music moves with the stateliness of an early Baroque chorale. Through it, there threads a melodic theme, passed between instruments and tuning systems, almost at the threshold of perception but with the same yearning quality familiar to listeners of Reidy's guitar works. 'Clerestory Windows' offers up a distorted mirror image of the string quartet, arranged as a series of episodes that each remake the material in their own way. It begins with an arrangement of the string quartet material for MIDI strings and voices, repositioning its rigorous harmonic exploration somewhere between the Lovely Music Ltd universe and a '90s RPG soundtrack. This episode derives from Reidy's installation Inside, Crystals and Circuitry, held in Stockholm in 2025, made up of multi-channel sound broadcast by transducers in suspended sheets of glass illuminated by spotlights, producing a mysterious effect where shadows appear more palpable than the sheets themselves. The piece moves into a lyrical 12-string acoustic guitar air performed at the installation opening, before the strings from the first side reappear, now frozen and stretched into slow-moving waves, with electric guitar tones rippling across. From this emerge flickering arpeggios, achieved by arranging the string quartet material for the RMI, an early digital synthesizer. Clerestory is a meditation on fundamental dynamics of human experience: orientation and disorientation, the hazy borders the hazy borders between the material and the spiritual, and the instability of identity."

LP version. Gold color vinyl. "A clerestory -- a bright or 'clear' level or 'story' -- is an upper section of wall, most often in a church punctuated by windows. It is a powerful image for grasping this luminous new music from Jules Reidy. Light casts shadows, of course, and logics of shadowing, mirroring, and distorted reflection -- of key importance for Reidy's work as a whole -- inform the sumptuous surfaces of Clerestory. 'Shadow Symmetric' is a string quartet commissioned and performed by the JACK Quartet as part of their JACK Studio program. Reidy's pairing with the quartet is felicitous: JACK are one of the preeminent new music ensembles working today, with a particular interest in just intonation, an important component of Reidy's music. It is primarily a music of harmony, but rhythmic organization is key to its effect: arranged as successive harmonic blocks that at times overlap, with staggered introductions of the quartet's four voices often serving to key the listener's attention into the blurring of the near-unison pitches, the music moves with the stateliness of an early Baroque chorale. Through it, there threads a melodic theme, passed between instruments and tuning systems, almost at the threshold of perception but with the same yearning quality familiar to listeners of Reidy's guitar works. 'Clerestory Windows' offers up a distorted mirror image of the string quartet, arranged as a series of episodes that each remake the material in their own way. It begins with an arrangement of the string quartet material for MIDI strings and voices, repositioning its rigorous harmonic exploration somewhere between the Lovely Music Ltd universe and a '90s RPG soundtrack.

On this new album, the trio of Sanem Kalfa, George Dumitriu, and Joachim Badenhorst invites you on a poetic and sonic voyage. While their debut Black Sea Songs (2021) drew from traditional folk melodies, this work is a collection of original compositions and one improvisation, inspired by the rich cultures and emotions surrounding the Black Sea. The music of this trio is elegant yet adventurous, blending jazz, improvisation, world traditions, and contemporary classical influences. Kalfa's distinctive voice and cello, Dumitriu's versatile viola and guitar, and Badenhorst's expressive clarinet and occasional vocals create a unique, dreamlike atmosphere. From the melancholic dance of "Denizi Özleyenler çin' (inspired by Orhan Veli Kank) to the hypnotic rhythms of "Intermezzo" and the narrative depth of "Fisherman" and "Black," each track breathes the freedom, longing, and interconnectedness that the Black Sea symbolizes. This album is not just a collection of songs but a living story of travel, encounter, and belonging-whether evoking the ports of Istanbul, the shores of Bulgaria, or the emotional landscapes that connect everyone. Black Sea Songs is a celebration of spontaneity, familiarity, and the universal language of music.

Saxophonist Patrick Shiroishi and drummer Jason Nazary present their new album, here i am no i. here i am no i is a free-flowing body of work with continuous forward-motion, building on the acoustic duo setting and expands with electronics and voice landing somewhere beyond genre. Dedicated to Jaimie Branch, the album is a spontaneous product of trying to come to terms with the unimaginable loss of a close friend. The seven tracks included on the album echo the organic process and the emotional necessity for this music to exist. From the searching mood set by opener "self portrait against blue," everything feels very live while also adding sonic layers to build a sound space beyond the usual sax/drums duo setting. Listeners familiar with the two artists' previous work find natural entry points in the electro-acoustic scope of the album, while discovering possibilities brought on by this specific new setting. There's a "tone poem" quality to the music, one which feels devotional without any obvious references to "spiritual" musical cornerstones. Patrick Shiroishi is a Japanese-American multi-instrumentalist, composer and poet based in Los Angeles. He is a member of hardcore punk band The Armed, contemporary classical group Wild Up and ambient jazz band Fuubutsushi. Shiroishi has guested on records by Chelsea Wolfe, Xiu Xiu, Emma Ruth Rundle, By Storm, Yellow Eyes, Lia Kohl, Water Damage, Big Brave, Agriculture, and Dirty Projectors, plus more. His solo work has appeared on labels such as Sub Pop, Touch, American Dreams and Otherly Love. Jason Nazary is a Brooklyn-based drummer and producer, whose work has previously appeared on the We Jazz label on the solo album Spring Collection and on New Monuments by Amirtha Kidambi's Elder Ones. His early projects include the influential noise jazz group, Little Women, anteloper, an electro-acoustic duo w the late jaimie branch. He currently performs regularly with Amirtha Kidambi's Elder Ones, Helado Negro, Darius Jones, as well as solo and his own groups, the improvising avant hip-hop quartet, WRENS, and the duo with Saint Abdullah. here i am no i is released by We Jazz Records on vinyl and digital formats. The LP comes as a blue marbled edition with insert. The album artwork is based on images by American photographer and film director Trevor Naud.

The Italian duo returns with a new album blending electronic sequences and acoustic instruments. The spirit of the rave party, rooted in a physical and collective experience. Lumina marks a new chapter in C'mon Tigre's evolution, where electronic music moves from the background to the core of the band's sound. Across thirteen interconnected tracks, synthesizers, arpeggiators and club-inspired rhythms merge seamlessly with acoustic instruments such as oud, cello, vibraphone and percussion, creating an immersive, continuous listening experience. Rather than opposing tradition and innovation, Lumina embraces their constant coexistence. The album explores how technology is reshaping not only the way music is created, but also how humans experience sound, time and physical presence. Inspired by the rave as a space of collective ritual and temporary freedom, it treats repetition and rhythm as tools for communion rather than escapism, turning listening into a deeply physical experience. The music was first developed and tested live at Robot Festival (Bologna) and JazzMi (Milan) in late 2025. Those performances became a laboratory where the interaction between the music and the audience ultimately shaped the final record. Featuring Perry Maysun.

"Based in Montreal, and known as Freedom, Freedom of Choice (for the US release of their debut single on Wand) -- and finally, Freedom North, the band had success with their first two singles, both released in 1970: 'Doctor Tom', which garnered radio airplay across Canada and attained the #2 spot on RPM's Top 50 Canadian Chart; and 'Losing You' which made it to #47 in the MAPL Top 50 Canadian Chart. Freedom North toured extensively, often with other Montreal bands such as Mashmakhan and April Wine. There are plenty of options when trying to classify their sound -- if that's your thing. The reviews certainly make that point. Many tracks are clearly in range of being called psychedelic rock, using the current slack mode of declaring what is 'psychedelic' (abundant fuzz guitar, in this case) -- while other songs edge towards hard rock/acid rock, and still others are late 1960's-esque pop/rock. Yet the band was tight and full of energy whatever sub-genre they were exploring, and thus the album is excellent throughout its many phases and faces. The songs are superbly crafted and feature terrific soaring vocals by Franki Hart. As a side note, 'Losing You' somehow recently made an appearance on Brown Acid: The Twenty-First Trip, so no doubt quite a few of you have heard one more song by Freedom North than you thought, which hopefully inspires you all to investigate this reissue of their entire LP. After the band split up, Freedom North members Eddie Kaye, Rick St. Jean, and Les Leroux all ended up as part of Don Graham's band Graham County in 1971. By 1973, Franki Hart was a member of the group, Riverson, which also included Rayburn Blake and Brian Edwards from Mashmakhan -- and she somehow also found time to be the backing vocalist on The Wackers' 1973 Shredder LP. Actually, this reissue offers a lot more than we have let on so far, as it also includes four bonus tracks: two B-sides + two other previously unreleased tracks making their vinyl debut. This reissue of Freedom North comes with a four panel insert with the band's history as told in their own words, and song lyrics too. A few descriptors: female vocals, fuzz guitar, psychedelic, male vocals, tight, melodic, hard-edged, funky, bittersweet, rocking."

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

Mothers of All is Mark Gomes' second album as Blue Chemise for Students of Decay, following 2018's acclaimed Daughters of Time. Though built from very different materials, it shares its predecessor's economy, sense of proportion, and fascination with the ways domestic life can open onto larger and less easily defined realms. Where Daughters of Time evoked tender, if alien, nursery songs, Mothers of All takes the form of spectral salon music heard at a temporal and geographic remove. These pieces feel fundamentally receptive, with Gomes allowing his chosen fragments to retain their own histories -- both personal and aesthetic -- while revealing unexpected tonal relationships through their idiosyncratic arrangement. The resulting music is at once deeply personal and strangely unmoored, a space where the intimate and the distant occupy the same plane. What lingers about this project as a whole is the paradox that the most private experiences can also be the least singular: that family, memory, and devotion become most legible at the point where they cease belonging to any one life.

The first release from the New York duo. An experimental punk record blending post-pun, synth-pop, and avant-garde electronics. Emerging from New York's subterranean trenches, Content Blocks reflect the infrastructure of their environs through dark, prophetic future-punk songcraft. They present their true first full-length effort in Hard Out, a collection of cybernetic experimental punk through the bleak lens of a technology-drenched existence. The attitude conveys the frustration of contemporary living, sonically reflective of the cold materiality and unsympathetic architecture prevalent in today's New York.

"For some fans, Health & Efficiency is This Heat's peak achievement -- their most concentrated blast of visceral intensity and wayward experimentalism. Featuring two long pieces, the EP came out in September 1980. It was released on Piano, the imprint founded by David Cunningham of Flying Lizards, and distributed by Rough Trade, home of the burgeoning post-punk movement and fellow travelers like The Raincoats, Scritti Politti, Cabaret Voltaire and The Red Crayola. Lead track 'Health & Efficiency' combines fierce angular rock that fully lives up to Cunningham's belief that This Heat could become a post-punk King Crimson, with a multi-part babble of vocals, clattering percussive timbres and found sounds. In a large outdoor space, one of the group played with sounds 'a bit like children,' drummer Charles Hayward told one interviewer. Flipside 'Graphic/Varispeed' is more subdued and hypnotic: a wavering tonescape whose duration depends on whether you play it at 45 RPM or 33 1/3. This reissue reproduces the original release's striking cover image of a human figure painted in blue by Pete Cobb, along with the cryptic flipside of text in many different languages. Health & Efficiency sounds like it's mocking bureaucratic language or the jargon of self-optimization. Some reckon it's a sly nod to Health & Efficiency, the long-running British magazine about nudism and wholesome living first published in the Edwardian era as Health & Vim. In fact, the title is a totally earnest statement from This Heat about the importance of looking after yourself, in line with the Latin maxim mens sana in corpore sano (a sound mind in a sound body). The title track's lyric 'here's a song about the sunshine/dedicated to the sunshine' is the giveaway. A few months after Health & Efficiency's release, This Heat toured the Netherlands. Hayward has spoken about a gig in Amsterdam as a peak experience where everything -- the telepathic musical bond between the group, the receptiveness and energy of the audience -- came together."

Teal return with Love Comes Thru, the trio's nine-track debut album. Expanding their emotionally resonant blend of downtempo trip-pop, the record reaches into street soul, dub, and experimental grooves, marking a confident new chapter for the group. At its core, Love Comes Thru is a reflection on the quiet strength of love -- not through grand gestures, but through the steady presence that carries listeners through uncertainty, change, and connection. Written over the course of a year of bi-coastal collaboration, the album became a testament to the bond Teal share as artists, friends, and family. From the lush synth landscapes of "Aries Moon" to the footwork-inspired pulse of "Time Is Blind," the album explores themes of patience, vulnerability, longing, and intimacy. Standout singles "Kissing in a Dream" and the title track lean into left-field street soul, while stripped-back, 808-driven tracks like "Change Your Mind" and "Anomaly" demonstrate the power of restraint without sacrificing momentum. Building on the group's love of ambient improvisation, Love Comes Thru also features instrumental pieces with percussion by Brandon Valdivia (Mas Aya/Lido Pimienta). The album closes with the sensual "Bubbling," bringing the journey full circle with a reminder that love ultimately comes through in its most embodied, physical form. Love Comes Thru is presented in a deluxe, limited-edition matte-finish, double-embossed jacket with a printed inner sleeve.

With Stadt der blauen Eier: Selected Recordings and Rarities 1980-1981, Tapete Records is releasing a retrospective of Korpus Kristi, one of the early punk bands in West Germany that today is, quite unjustly, less well known. Alongside The Wirtschaftswunder and Die Radierer, Korpus Kristi were part of the so-called "Limburger Pest," which produced some of the most original releases on the West German underground scene in the early 1980s. Spanning a total of 12 tracks, the compilation features single releases, rarities and selected tracks from the 1981 album, finally making the band's brief but remarkable body of work accessible once again. The truth about Korpus Kristi (excerpt from the liner notes accompanying the compilation): "The birth of Korpus Kristi. They claimed to be inspired by the Stooges, but decades later, Bodenstein said in a bar in Hanau, pointing to a concert-poster of the German-American proto punk band The Monks: 'They were the granddaddies of Korpus Kristi, even if we didn't know it back then.' At least when it came to emptying out clubs, they could certainly hold their own against their role models. At Frankfurt's famous Batschkapp, they incited the audience to enthusiastic 'Stop! Stop!' chants; in Wiesbaden, an enraged patron tried to murder singer Bodenstein right on the spot. Their live shows were marked by chaos and raw violence. Even the stage set was terrifying: Barbed wire, oil drums that Bodenstein pounded on like a man possessed, as if they were bones that had to be shattered, crosses from which they hung themselves -- a thoroughly blasphemous spectacle, an exorcism intended to drive out even the last spark of divinity, the last breath of the Holy Spirit that might still linger in the room. And under no circumstances were they to allow the audience to develop any sense of rhythm. As soon as feet and hips began to sway, the bass and drums would smash everything to pieces again, Pulch's saxophone would send the tinnitus soaring to immeasurable heights, and a chainsaw guitar would gnaw its way into the listeners' groins. And if none of that worked, there was always Bodenstein's voice, which wavered back and forth between trilled squeals and roars and seemed to come from everywhere thanks to reverb and echo effects. 'I like that, it really gets me going when they're screaming down there' said Bodenstein, referring to the tormented audience." --Roky Lugosi

LP version. With Stadt der blauen Eier: Selected Recordings and Rarities 1980-1981, Tapete Records is releasing a retrospective of Korpus Kristi, one of the early punk bands in West Germany that today is, quite unjustly, less well known. Alongside The Wirtschaftswunder and Die Radierer, Korpus Kristi were part of the so-called "Limburger Pest," which produced some of the most original releases on the West German underground scene in the early 1980s. Spanning a total of 12 tracks, the compilation features single releases, rarities and selected tracks from the 1981 album, finally making the band's brief but remarkable body of work accessible once again. The truth about Korpus Kristi (excerpt from the liner notes accompanying the compilation): "The birth of Korpus Kristi. They claimed to be inspired by the Stooges, but decades later, Bodenstein said in a bar in Hanau, pointing to a concert-poster of the German-American proto punk band The Monks: 'They were the granddaddies of Korpus Kristi, even if we didn't know it back then.' At least when it came to emptying out clubs, they could certainly hold their own against their role models. At Frankfurt's famous Batschkapp, they incited the audience to enthusiastic 'Stop! Stop!' chants; in Wiesbaden, an enraged patron tried to murder singer Bodenstein right on the spot. Their live shows were marked by chaos and raw violence. Even the stage set was terrifying: Barbed wire, oil drums that Bodenstein pounded on like a man possessed, as if they were bones that had to be shattered, crosses from which they hung themselves -- a thoroughly blasphemous spectacle, an exorcism intended to drive out even the last spark of divinity, the last breath of the Holy Spirit that might still linger in the room. And under no circumstances were they to allow the audience to develop any sense of rhythm. As soon as feet and hips began to sway, the bass and drums would smash everything to pieces again, Pulch's saxophone would send the tinnitus soaring to immeasurable heights, and a chainsaw guitar would gnaw its way into the listeners' groins.

While composing the music for The Juniper Tree, Midori Hirano drew on her own memories of touring Iceland, which included a stop at a waterfall featured in the film and rendered in sound on "Mother's Path." Folktales, like the origins of The Juniper Tree, are often attempts to contend with humans' place in the natural world, with all its mysteries and intricacies, and both the film and Hirano's soundtrack draw their sense of breathless wonder in part from the sensation of being engulfed by one's environment. Margit, played by Björk, possesses a sublime sensitivity to her environment that allows her to receive messages from her mother, who was murdered for their shared inheritance of witchcraft. Hirano captures the relationship between the transcendental awe that is felt as supernatural and the private feelings of being immersed in that experience, creating a musical dialogue between the self and what lies beyond. In the final sentences of her liner notes describing the film's philosophical and feminist throughlines, Anna Bogutskaya says, "what we call Margit's witchcraft is maybe just her willingness to listen." This is the magic of music, and Hirano composes with an alchemist's pen. Just as Keene seems to break down barriers between binary poles, Hirano uses both electronic and acoustic means to communicate the film's emotive cues, uniting approaches she has explored under her own name and the alias MimiCof. There is an understanding that stillness can be understood as peaceful or foreboding, that dissonance and consonance are contextual, that efforts to protect one's own kin can lead to tragic ends. At the film's end the audience sees Margit enthralled with birdsong, understanding it as something deeper, a connection to those she has lost. Through sound, listeners understand what lies beyond sight, beyond convention, and with this new soundtrack they hear the story anew.

"WHIMM formed around the shadowy heart of the Toronto post-punk underground over a decade ago. The partnership between Mounir Al Shami and Andrew Matthews has emitted sporadic musical shards over time, while slowly evolving into something so much bigger than its beginnings. Ideas seep out of every corner of No Promotion, showcasing a burning desire to explore and challenge while delivering very direct sonic offerings. The result is an album that feels as if you took the entire Coil discography and smashed it into pieces, assembling these precious songs from the fragments. Or as if Vangelis beckoned Section 25 to the studio in hopes of recording the score to a seedy film. The resulting LP is in a state of flux -- equal parts motion and decay. Patrick Flegel, of Cindy Lee, welcomed Al Shami and Matthews into REALISTIK Studios in Montreal to engineer half of the tracks for the album, including lending guitar to the opening track 'Five in Decline.' That influence is evident early on, as the first three songs are taken from those sessions. Closing with a final apparition in the key of The Caretaker, 'After the Last Sky (Reprise)' is a return to melody when words lose all meaning. Al Shami and Matthews weave their lyrics throughout, words describing a search for lucidity, and of reactions and reflections. Al Shami -- speaking from the Palestinian diaspora -- ruminates on displacement, both personal and collective. His journey from having 'been without a land and I can still see clearly' in 'Rhymes of December' to a more defiant 'we will be back again, no matter how it ends or where we've been' in 'Returnal' takes a very insular turn on No Promotion. That sense of alienation pulls at the very center of a relationship when land and circumstances separate: 'And after our last breath, all that's left in me is our flesh and fears, your last words would swim for years, you'll never find a home in me." Hearts on the outskirts that know the direction.'"

Edition of 400 copies with hand-assembled letterpress sleeves and insert. Musique Domestique marks the debut full-length from French duo Adiciatz, a project that emerges from the shared musical curiosity of Manon Nogier and Guillaume Lespinasse. Living near Lyon and making music together since before the pandemic, the pair developed their sound during lockdown improvisations at home -- a creative process that quickly revealed a unique musical chemistry rooted as much in folk tradition as in experimental exploration. Drawing on a wide palette of influences -- from Occitan poetry, delicate folk to drone and spontaneous sound exploration -- Adiciatz makes music that feels both intimate and expansive. Nogier's voice and amplified taisho koto weave through Lespinasse's keyboards, machines and percussive touches, forming a sonic world where ritualistic soft folk melodies coexist with subtle electronic textures. Their live performances, including an appearance at the Meakusma Festival, where their set blurred the line between concert and séance, have already shown how this blend comes to life in front of audiences, with hypnotic vocals, spiraling chords and slow, trance-like rhythms inviting listeners into a space that is both meditative and evocative. On Musique Domestique, those live-rooted sensibilities are distilled into recorded form. The album moves fluidly between rich pastoral folk and instrumental meanderings. Musique Domestique announces Adiciatz as a compelling new voice at the intersection of folk, experimental and electronic music crafted with care and intuition.

Edition of 400 copies on rough-sided printed sleeves with printed inner sleeve. With Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems, the ever elusive and shape-shifting Thomas Bush offers up a new album of category scrambling song craft. Since earlier solo efforts like Old And Red (2018), Preludes (2022) and The Next 60 Years (2024), Bush -- currently based in Malmö -- has traced a digressive path that has proven him capable of everything from murky wobbling dirges to uptight head-bopping laments to crystalline synth chords that hang precariously in the air over your new favorite bass line. Like its title, the album's songs/tunes/opportunities for pleasure offer the listener further evidence of a sensibility that is equal parts ambiguity and clarity. In addition to his solo work, Bush has worked with a range of collaborators in one-off configurations and longer term projects like RAP (with Guy Gormley) and cATHOLIC CHURGH (with Jon Auman). Critical responses to Bush's output have often focused on his predilection for certain folk-ish impulses and instrumentation, but, judging from releases like 2026's guld, his definition of "folk music" seems to have as much to do with A Guy Called Gerald as it does with Shirley Collins or John Martyn. For all of its diversity, what unites Bush's ever-expanding body of work is its dual commitment to experimentation and a job well done.

Edition of 300 copies on rough-sided printed sleeves with printed inner sleeve. Stone Music returns with Into the Cosmic Forest, a deep and patient journey into open-air improvisation. The group was founded in 2022 by Tokio Hasegawa, a core member of the legendary Taj Mahal Travellers, and brings together a wide circle of musicians from Japan's ambient and experimental scenes. While the name is new, the spirit continues. Stone Music extends the free-form, site-responsive approach that defined Taj Mahal Travellers -- music shaped by environment, duration, and collective awareness rather than fixed structure. Into the Cosmic Forest consists of two long-form pieces, each exceeding 20 minutes, both recorded live outdoors. Side A was captured at Japan's Off-Tone Festival. It unfolds slowly and organically -- layers of voice, strings, electronics, wind instruments, and percussive textures gradually forming a shifting sonic landscape. Side B was recorded on the grounds of Mithila Museum in the mountains of Niigata, an art space managed by Hasegawa himself. More intimate in atmosphere yet equally immersive, the piece centers on voice and subtle interplay, allowing space and silence to become part of the composition. What you hear is direct and unpolished: air moving, sound resonating, musicians responding to each other and to their surroundings in real time. Following tours in India during 2023-24, with performances in national museums and universities, Stone Music continues to explore music as shared space rather than spectacle. Into the Cosmic Forest invites listeners into that space -- unedited, unhurried, and fully alive.

Edition of 200 copies, co-release with Psychic Sounds. Comes with insert. Archimboldos have clawed their way out of the starcaves of their primordial past and into the tranquil light of a coral garden on their third full length album, Crusta Arcana, a gumbo stewpot of transcendent electronica suffused with tribal rhythms and liquid ambience. Across a stereo field smeared with tolling bells, post-industrial folk percussion, and tinkling keys, Archimboldos soundtrack a science fictional journey, not into the depths of space, but deep beneath the waves. In the past the Chilean duo of Nicolás Carcavilla and Felipe Crocco have described their music as "liminal shrimp folk." Here they continue this strange exploration when they visit the court of the prawns, producing stately electronic chamber orchestrations. Perhaps these are the frequencies used for ritual dream initiation into the mystery schools of drowned Atlantis. Weaving an ancient sacred science, Archimboldos take listeners on a mystic voyage into their singular crustacean mythology, the crusta of their hidden arcana. Archimbolodos are masters of conjoining cyclonic and centrifugal lines of electricity into spellbinding incantations. These deep-sea transmissions envelope the listener into aquamarine forcefields that are as hallucinatory as they are hypnotic. Casting their net wide across eight pieces, Archimboldos have made a big catch. From the emotive electronic counterpoint found on "Bursting Armor" to the blocks of seaweed tangled sonic sculpture trawled up from the ocean floor on "Aphelion IX." Other songs are like samples of biological ambience collected from luminous tide pools: resplendent tones placed into a Petri dish of sound, swirled, cultured and fermented until it undulates with the rhythmic movement of microscopic lifeforms. Alternating between rippling minimalist sonority and pounding, progressive, synth-heavy entrancement, Crusta Arcana charts its own idiosyncratic itinerary of instrumental invention. All the while light is down streaming from the heavens to pierce the waters, here calm, there choppy. The intrepid musical captains commanding Archimboldos have laid a course for new archipelagos of the imagination, guided by heavenly constellations.

Paperback. 280-pages. "An audiovisual journey into the visionary heart of New Age music. Today, with Spotify 'Relaxation' playlists and 24-hour YouTube ambient streams, New Age music feels ubiquitous and familiar. But its roots are stranger than is commonly known, tracing back to the spiritual exploration of the 1970s, when a cohort of musicians created cosmic soundscapes sparkling with the afterglow of ecstatic spiritual revelations, psychedelic experiences, near-death encounters, and meditative practices. In Bridge to an Unseen Shore, Jacob Smith argues that early New Age musicians formed a distinct artistic movement, a school of visionary art expressed through recorded sound. Their music sought to dissolve boundaries between mind and body, self and cosmos, offering listeners sonic pathways to heightened awareness and holistic experience. This was a multimedia movement as well as a spiritual one, and New Age music was paired with painting, planetarium shows, laser light shows, experimental films, and television soundtracks. Drawing on extensive interviews with the genre's pioneers, Smith delivers the first comprehensive cultural history of New Age music, from its countercultural origins in the 1970s to its 1980s cassette underground and mainstream crossover to its lasting influence today. Engaging and richly researched, this book reframes New Age music as a vital chapter in the history of spiritual and sonic culture."

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

Öd marks the long-awaited return of Institut für Feinmotorik -- the Black Forest collective known for using eight prepared turntables to investigate acoustic micro-phenomena generated by everyday objects -- with a new album and their first full-length release on Faitiche. The Öd-nis, the wasteland, is a field that the collective has been ploughing in sound since their first release in 1997. Eight prepared turntables, four mixers, no records, six hands (give or take) merge into what they call the "Octogrammoticum." A rotating organism of surfaces in friction, fed with the clutter from a drawer: rubber bands or tin foil, CDs, a discarded socket board. Under IFF's scrutinizing stylus, mundane almost-nothings get scratched open to reveal the acoustic density of negative space itself. The only thing öd about Öd (meaning "barren" or "boring" in German) may well be its title: layers of improvised play and randomized loops convolve around porous, dubby groove locks, tugging at each other in a call-and-response with howling static that cuts through bulbous ambient techno into a scrap-metal Dixieland phantasm. Stratified yet spacious, these sonic double exposures always hover on the verge of collapsing. What you think you hear might not be what you actually hear. The album's track titles resemble Conceptual Poetry, extending this psycho-phenomenological gesture into the realm of spoken language. Conceived by renowned poet Dagmara Kraus, they become word molecules -- "stern," "dies," "lose" -- tilting delicately between German and English, constantly changing depending on the ear's perspective and pointing back to the deeply unstable fabric connecting meaning and sound. Which also makes Öd an unusual cross-disciplinary collaboration -- at least in the field of electronic music.

The Garden Of Forgotten Dreams was produced and recorded by the guitarist Mat Barsacchi, mixed by Richard Beherens (Elder/Kadavar/Samsara Blues Experiment) at Big Snuff Studio in Berlin, and mastered by Carl Saff in Chicago and Adam Ayan (Foo Fighters/Pearl Jam/Rolling Stone) in Portland. "The Garden, a magical place where lost dreams don't fade, but grow like silent flowers. Each petal holds an unfulfilled wish, each scent a memory left behind. In this garden, those who enter rediscover parts of themselves they thought lost and understand that nothing should be forgotten if it has touched their heart. The garden is the image that recurs most frequently throughout the album. We chose it as a metaphor for 'refuge,' a place where we can choose to nurture our natural inclinations, let them grow and blossom, but where we can also keep our shadows and our lights hidden. Where our secrets, our most authentic truths, our aspirations and our dreams, can therefore remain guarded until we are ready to reveal them to those who can contain and appreciate them." Also available on black vinyl (HPS 405LP), violet vinyl (HPS LTD-LP), and magenta/blue splatter vinyl (HPS ULTRA-LP).

Circling a mountain until disappearing into the dance: this is the starting point of 10LEC6's new album. Several years after Bone Bame, released on Ed Banger, 10LEC6 returns with an album that is both digital and organic, conceived as a euphoric journey where language is manipulated, repeated, stretched like a sentence that spins on itself until it becomes rhythm. The title, Ako Akas, is the name of a peak in southern Cameroon, whose legend tells of those who attempt to circle it disappearing in an endless dance. A perfect image for this immersive, fluid music where each loop propels the next. Featuring Superpitcher.

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.

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!

Rachel Shearer's Te Oro o te Ao ("The Resounding Of The World") is a bold work of sonic dreaming and remembrance. As a sound artist and composer from Aotearoa, New Zealand, Shearer has long explored the Māori concept of whakapapa; embracing the belief that the whole of creation, past/present/future is a dynamic interconnected movement. With field recordings, electronics, and voice, Shearer creates immersive analogs of earthly processes that move like tumbling avalanches and crashing waves. Subterranean volcanic activity transmutes into super-heated air rising into frequencies beyond human hearing. Shearer posits that consciousness, like the environment, is not a closed system; that the mind is an ecosystem where our thoughts are the "flora" and "fauna" and the perception of sound vibrations in the material world is a gateway to metaphysical realms. Te Oro o Te Ao was first realized as an immersive eight-channel sound installation made in response to a close listening to the earth. It was also released as a limited artist's acetate edition of 10. Thin Wrist presents Te Oro o Te Ao in a vinyl and digital edition mastered by Rashad Becker, Clunk Berlin. Housed in a tip-on gatefold jacket with embossed black paper stock, ink pigment foil stamping, with a mounted booklet in the inner gatefold and printed inner sleeves. Pressed at Optimal, Germany. For over three decades Rachel Shearer has investigated sound as a medium through a wide range of sonic practices -- installations, composing, recording, writing, as well as collaborating as a sound designer and composer for moving image and live performance events. Shearer's work builds on her research which explores practices related to a listening to the earth through Māori and Western frameworks. She has received numerous public commissions for sound art including the permanent nine-channel sound installation The Flooded Mirror on the Auckland waterfront. She has been active as an experimental musician since the late 1980s and has released material with labels Xpressway (NZ), Flying Nun (NZ), Ecstatic Peace (US), Corpus Hermeticum (NZ), Family Vineyard (US) among others. Waha voice performed by Cathy Livermore (Kāi Tahu, Kāti Māmoe, Waitaha).

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

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

A dream come true for A Colourful Storm to be releasing an early gem by Tenniscoats, a duo whose DIY spirit, boundless creativity and lust for life and collaboration has left an indelible mark. From self-releasing albums and tapes on their own Majikick imprint to meeting kindred spirits The Pastels, Bill Wells and Jad Fair in between outings for Morr Music, Chapter and Häpna, to name but a few, Tenniscoats have embodied an understated determination and optimism for over two decades. A foghorn melodica, voice, fractions, fragments, nothing and everything all at once. We Are Everyone opens out slowly, a little eerily, magic tumbles into play in well-measured rations. Meanwhile, on the cover, Saya and Ueno's heads seem to merge into the sky as if living amongst the wisdom of the clouds. Or maybe somewhere between sleep and reality, like Ueno's description of Tenniscoats' music. We Are Everyone is one of those records where you almost feel engulfed in its making -- you feel like you're in the room with Tenniscoats as they push themselves to the limit, trying to make the very best record they can. Liner notes by Stephen Pastel (The Pastels). Full color reverse-card sleeve with lyric sheet and insert.

Limited edition reissue of The Orchids' second album -- originally released on Sarah Records in 1991 -- remastered with the 7" and E.P tracks from the time. Translucent pink color. The early summer bloom of 1992 felt like it had been pollinated by a lot of sunshine-loving records from the year before, optimistic headrushes that embraced hedonistic bliss or at least a sweeter ride. There was still an element of bedroom wistfulness to singles like "Higher Than The Sun," "Nothing Can Stop Us," and even Paris Angels' "Perfume" but there was no denying the appeal that techno, rave and Bleep held, especially when it was microdosed. Bands were more willing to experiment with technology and producers, if not necessarily going for all whistles-blazing club bangers. The Orchids, hailing from the suburbs of Glasgow were unlikely to ever emerge from their hood as contenders for a deal on Soma Records (which had begun in 1991 in that city) but they evidently wanted to stretch their boundaries beyond their introverted debut. Unholy Soul is somewhat breezier than Lyceum. It's still laced with a Scottish melancholy but there's more breathing space within the production. As lead singer James Hackett says today: "Unholy Soul was the first time we had spent more than a couple of days in the studio, doing so after work. It was a thrilling period of creativity and we had most of the songs written but not enough. We didn't worry about that too much though because with Ian Carmichael there was a new opportunity for studio generation. Also this was the first time we had heard Pauline (Hynds) singing with One Dove so we asked her to sing on some of the songs. We were obviously influenced by a lot of the music of the time but you can still hear it's The Orchids at heart."

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

The result is a body of work that feels both recognizably hers and newly charged, music that moves through the body as insistently as it engages the mind. KAS's practice has steadily expanded beyond the expectations placed upon experimental electronic artists, moving between orchestral composition, audiovisual installations, film scoring, and large-scale commissions while retaining the unmistakable sonic signature that defines her work. Her prolific collaborators and creative partners have ranged from Patti Smith and Suzanne Ciani to Danny Elfman, Tycho, Glass Beams, RY X, Caribou, Four Tet, Reggie Watts, and Max Richter, while her compositions have appeared in projects with Apple, Chanel, Meow Wolf, the BBC Orchestra, and major film and television productions. On Ruin: It's Not Just Music, that vocabulary becomes more kinetic than ever before. The record draws energy from jungle, drum and bass, and dance-floor focused electronic music while retaining the intricate synthesis and tonal curiosity that have defined KAS's work from the beginning. The result is a record that feels equally at home within club culture, contemporary composition, and the experimental spaces that have long championed her artistry.

Brown color vinyl version. Anti Fade Records presents the third pressing of Sydney-based R.M.F.C.'s classic debut LP, Club Hits. For those who read these things without listening first, you might ask: what does this R.M.F.C. sound like? If you could say anything about post punk it means post-Wire, who were past punk before punk had an opportunity to codify and become brilliant and stupid. Few bands manage to sound like all three Wire records, but R.M.F.C. are a Rock Music Fan Club. Anyone paying attention to underground Australian guitar overdose would relate: the R.M.F.C. Club Hits LP has been the culmination of five years of work, patience and discipline. If you've heard these songs live at any of their shows over the past couple of years you'll understand -- the wait is over and the result is exhilarating. Thinking of bands like Royal Headache, Dick Diver, and Eddy Current Suppression Ring, there's even been a fairly recent tradition of expanding styles of rock and roll (let alone the bigger, famous rock-centered acts). The Sydney based R.M.F.C., and the scene (or friend circle) from which it's emerging, is carrying a torch of rock music which has the potential of a wider appeal. Written, recorded and mixed by Buz in Burrill Lake and Sydney between January 2022 and April 2023. Mastered by Mikey Young. Painting by Oscar Sulich. Photos by Michael Vasila.

Limited black vinyl edition of 400 copies worldwide. in reverse board sleeves with double sided lyric insert and front cover sticker. P.P. Rebel is the harmonium-led, spiritually inspired project of Melbourne artist Paris Rebel Richens (Singer of Parsnip, Hierophants), who has been making all kinds of extraordinary sounds over the past fifteen years and has more recently found a new direction through the spiritual path of Kriya Yoga. Drawing on both Eastern spiritual traditions and Western influences such as The Incredible String Band, The Velvet Underground, Syd Barrett, and Skip Spence, P.P. Rebel has developed a sound distinctly its own: beautiful, calming, spiritually charming songs for the soul. Devotee was produced by Jack Crook at Sound Recordings on Dja Dja Wurrung Country, and mixed and mastered by local hero Mikey Young, resulting in a sound that feels natural and honest -- blending classic textures with Paris' reflective perspective and spiritual focus. The album artwork was created by Paris using pressed flower petals collected from altar arrangements at group meditations -- a process inspired in part by the work of Sally Stang. The central bird form is based on a photograph by Joel Sartore of a Superb Parrot, which Paris reimagined after noticing its resemblance to praying hands when viewed upside down. P.P. Rebel's debut is an album filled with love, joy and optimism, to be welcomed and enjoyed in any household.

Muzikawi presents the first reissue of Teodros Makonnen With His Organ, released in collaboration with Teodros Makonnen under exclusive license. The album has been carefully restored and remastered, and is presented across a double LP, pressed at Optimal Media, and housed in a gatefold sleeve replicating the original sleeve artwork, accompanied by extensive liner notes in English and Amharic, as well as previously unpublished photographs from the archives of Teodros' friend and long-time collaborator Teferi "Bibisha" Mengesha. Some recordings herald the future in ways that are impossible to see in real time. Teodros Makonnen With His Organ, by the artist Teodros Makonnen, also known as Teddy Mak, is one of those. Today, electronic sounds, synthesizers, and digital production are taken for granted in Ethiopian music, but in the early 1980s, they were novelties that polarized opinion. Teodros Makonnen With His Organ is a cornerstone of the early digital sounds of Ethiopian music, originally released on cassette only, and has remained more or less unknown outside of Ethiopia until now. It is a pioneering home recording made in Ethiopia, recorded directly to tape in a single take on a Yamaha double-deck keyboard at the residence of a Saudi Arabian diplomat in Addis Ababa, recasting traditional songs in a wholly electronic style of atmospheric drum machines and hypnotic synth organs, opening new paths for musical dreaming. Even to this day, the story of Teodros Makonnen's legacy has never been properly told. As a keyboardist, producer, arranger, and sound designer, he helped define the digital sound of Ethiopian music in the 1980s and beyond, collaborating with iconic artists such as Mulatu Astatke, Aster Aweke, and Mahmoud Ahmed, among many others. Today's revived global interest in Ethiopian music from the seventies and eighties, alongside a broader resurgence, has changed the reasons for using digital means of music production. They have become tools for musical dreaming. This is where the dreaming began.

Wewantsounds reissues Brigitte Fontaine's landmark 1970 Saravah album Comme à la Radio, recorded with Areski Belkacem, Wadada Leo Smith, and the Art Ensemble of Chicago. This new edition pairs the original album with rare bonus material. The release is accompanied by a lavish 24-page bilingual booklet featuring an introduction by journalist Andy Beta, essays by Wadada Leo Smith, Brigitte Fontaine biographer Benoît Mouchart, and Benjamin Barouh, plus a recent interview with Brigitte Fontaine and the late Areski Belkacem. The booklet also includes complete lyrics and a selection of rare archival photographs by Jean-Pierre Leloir and Philippe Gras. Comme à la Radio was originally released in 1970 on Pierre Barouh's cult Saravah label, fusing Fontaine's radical lyricism with Areski Belkacem's minimalist compositions and the fearless improvisations of the Art Ensemble of Chicago and Wadada Leo Smith. Its title track has since become a cult classic in jazz and groove circles. The album has been newly remastered from the original tapes and is reissued featuring 11 bonus tracks. The original album is presented in restored clarity, while the bonus tracks gather rare non-album singles, English-language takes, alternate versions and previously unreleased instrumental recordings showcasing the Art Ensemble's artistry, including the elusive English version of Comme à la Radio, and a striking early version of "L'été L'été." Comme à la Radio stands as a visionary landmark of French music and a defining statement in Brigitte Fontaine's career. This expanded edition confirms its enduring influence more than fifty years after its original release. The reissue is announced alongside its companion Comme à la Radio On Air, a deluxe 2-LP set presenting previously unreleased ORTF live recordings and additional studio rarities.

Before grunge was a genre, it was an insult Mark Arm wrote about his own band: "Pure grunge! Pure noise! Pure shit!" That band was Mr. Epp And The Calculations. Conceived in a math class at Bellevue Christian High School in 1978 as a completely imaginary group, Mr. Epp eventually became one of the strangest, most confrontational and deliberately antagonistic acts in Seattle's early underground. Steve Turner joined during its final phase; Arm and Turner would soon form Green River and later reunite in Mudhoney. Instead of learning to play properly, Mr. Epp learned how to use distortion, repetition, awkwardness and confrontation as a language of their own. Their songs take aim at uniformed hardcore punks, Reagan-era patriotism, the Moral Majority, militarism, police authority, suburban privilege, college life and nuclear annihilation, while never sparing their own scene or themselves. "Mohawk Man" was a vicious attack on those who had reduced hardcore to a pose and a dress code. The song reached number one on the influential Los Angeles radio show Rodney on the ROQ, while their 1982 EP Of Course I'm Happy, Why? was reviewed in the very first issue of Maximum Rocknroll, which praised its strange structures, cynicism and intelligence. During their brief existence they shared bills with Dead Kennedys, Ten Minute Warning, and The Rejectors, before playing their final show in 1984 alongside Malfunkshun, opening for Fang. Less than three years after becoming a real band, it was over. Originally issued on CD in 1996, Ridiculing the Apocalypse now receives its first-ever vinyl edition. BANG! Records and Jo Smitty have reshaped the anthology into a concentrated sixteen-track LP, newly remastered for vinyl by Sergio Delgado in Madrid. It includes the complete Of Course I'm Happy, Why? EP, the band's most essential studio recordings and two live tracks captured at Seattle's Metropolis. The packaging completes the document: Todd Why?'s original drawings, the wrecked Epp car, rehearsal and live photographs, Craig Joyce's extensive band history and Jo Smitty's track-by-track notes. Nothing has been cleaned up or rewritten into respectable rock history. The entire edition retains the photocopied, basement-made, fanzine-and-rented-hall aesthetic that defined Mr. Epp. Limited edition of 500 copies on black vinyl. Essential for followers of Mudhoney, Green River, Flipper, early American hardcore, post-punk and outsider noise -- and for anyone who wants to hear Seattle before it became an industry.

Not every great record got the audience it deserved. Originally released on CD in 2005, Iwô-Jima Party was the fourth album by Obligaciones, a band from Vitoria-Gasteiz (Basque Country) operating in the dangerous territory between punk, garage, '70s hard rock and raw rock'n'roll. But Iwô-Jima Party is much more than sheer force. These ten carefully crafted songs are driven by serrated guitars, a crushing rhythm section, hard-hitting Spanish lyrics and melodies that stay with you long after the initial impact. The album carries the urgency of punk and the weight of classic hard rock, but also something far less common: truly accomplished songwriting hidden beneath all the noise and aggression. The band's musical DNA shares connections with Motörhead, Rory Gallagher, Cicatriz and The New Christs, yet Obligaciones never sound like a mere imitation. They transformed those influences into something unmistakably their own: dark, abrasive, melodic and emotionally uncompromising. The original sessions featured musicians connected to Señor No, MaCarraDa, Los Padrinos, Látex, Vagón de Cola, and Sindicato de Músicos. Produced by Peio Riotegi, the album also includes a ferocious version of Otis Redding's "Love Man." More than twenty years later, Iwô-Jima Party has lost none of its impact. It still sounds urgent, dangerous and remarkably alive. BANG! Records now presents this overlooked Basque punk-rock powerhouse on vinyl for the very first time: newly remastered and strictly limited to 300 copies.

For this record we brought in Tommy Hanning on drums, he was in Firebreather at the time of the recording of our first album so we knew he was capable. We were in between drummers when it was time to hit the studio for our fourth album and he was kind enough to learn the songs from his home, he lives way up north in Sweden.

As a follow-up to Munster's previous work reissuing the recordings of Pau Riba, key figure in Catalonia's counter-culture and music scene, the label now presents Jo, la donya I el gripau (1971). Released just a couple of years after his revered Dioptria, this remarkable work is regarded as one of the earliest D.I.Y. albums in the history of Spanish pop music. At the time, Riba was only 23 years old. Escaping an increasingly hostile Barcelona, Riba and his partner, Mercè Pastor, moved to Formentera, where they would spend the next four years. The album was conceived during this period of "hippie" living. As they became part of a growing community of young people drawn to the island by a new, nature-centered way of life -- completely different from that of the tourists who also visited Formentera -- they also discovered LSD. Playing and singing under the influence of acid opened the door to an entirely new creative universe. When Riba returned to Barcelona, the ideas he had originally developed for the follow-up to Dioptria before moving to Formentera were completely abandoned, and the project evolved into something altogether different. The album was recorded in Formentera using two battery-powered film sound recorders -- a Revox and a Nagra -- in order to capture every nuance of the island's idyllic surroundings. The result was Jo, la donya i el gripau, an extraordinary psychedelic folk album that not only celebrated Riba's life with his partner Mercè -- the Donya -- and the birth of their son Pauet -- the gripau -- but can also be understood as the concluding chapter of a trilogy whose first two installments were the two volumes of Dioptria. An essential album. Includes an insert with liner notes and photos.

Los Incas Modernos hold a pioneering place in the history of Peruvian rock as the first band in the country to record a full-length album. Formed in the early 1960s, they developed a distinctive sound by blending the energy of surf rock with the musical traditions of the Andes. This album stands as a landmark in Latin American music. Tracks like "Carnavalito" and "Terremoto" showcase an innovative approach for their time, bringing together electric guitars and Andean influences to create a sound that was both original and ahead of its era. The album's success led the band to share the stage with some of Peru's leading rock groups (Los Shains, Los Belkings, Los Silvertones, Los Doltons) while appearing on radio, television, and major venues across Lima -- all before any of its members had turned twenty. Today, this reissue offers the opportunity to rediscover a defining chapter in Peruvian rock: an album that still captures the creativity, freshness, and spirit of a generation that forged its own musical identity and left a lasting legacy. This is a joint release with the Peruvian label Rey Record and includes an insert with notes on the band's history. First time reissue.

Here is a very special reissue, a landmark in the history of Spanish pop music: "La chica de plexiglás" and "La visión," the first two singles by El Aviador Dro y sus Obreros Especializados (released in 1980 and 1981), together with two tracks rescued from a lost 1980 recording session that were never released as a single. The collection is presented exactly as it was originally compiled on a 1983 mini-LP. To this day, this remains the most advanced techno-punk ever made in Spain. Think a Spanish version of Kraftwerk meets Devo meets The Residents. Futuristic electronic music created back when computers were the size of an entire room. Out of print since 1985, Munster are delighted to bring this groundbreaking gem of early-'80s Spanish pop back into circulation in collaboration with Discos Banana.

Décima Víctima were a Spanish band that, during their short-lived career between 1981 and 1984, developed a very personal sound reminiscent of Joy Division, The Cure, and other British post-punk bands. Although commercial success evaded them, rarely has any Spanish band achieved such a high degree of quality and coherence in their music and personality. Despite only being active for under three years, Décima Víctima left a long-lasting legacy, and their influence would later be heard in Spanish bands such as Family, Los Planetas, and Sr Chinarro. The story of Décima Víctima started in 1981, with Carlos Entrena rehearsing with Lars and Per Mertanen, and a drum machine, in the cellar of the Mertanens' house in Madrid. A few months later they made their first studio recording, a demo recorded on a 4-track. And shortly after, with their friends from the band Esclarecidos, they started the independent label Grabaciones Accidentales (GASA) and were able to start releasing their own records. Their first single was released in 1982, featuring Lars on drums. Shortly after, Esclarecidos introduced Jose Brena to them and he joined Décima Víctima as drummer. This set comprises the complete recordings of the band throughout their career, from 1982 to 1984, now reissued for the first time. Their LPs (Décima Víctima, Un hombre solo and En el garaje), early EPs, Un lugar en el pasado 12" and demos. The artwork has been designed by the band members themselves, and the set also includes a 12-page booklet with notes and photos.

From the early 1960s onward, Claudia (or Claudya, as she would later be credited on her records) became a moderately successful ye-yé singer in Spain. In 1970, probably in a belated attempt to embrace the soul music craze that had also reached Spain by then, she released this single featuring two dancefloor-friendly, fresh-sounding versions of Anglo-American hits: "Un millón de lágrimas," originally a hit for the American rock band The Grass Roots, and "No te creas tú que tan loca estoy," a Spanish adaptation of Bill Deal & The Rhondels' "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am." More than 50 years after its original release, Munster present the first-ever reissue of this highly sought-after single, featuring these two outstanding slices of soul made in Spain.

Ghetto Records was Joe Bataan's way to get over on The Man and out of the 'hood, a bold move by an artist looking for independence and creative control in an industry that had exploited his talents and treated him like chattel. Hatched from desperation yet full of hope, Ghetto Records came crashing down shortly after its inception. The seven albums in the Ghetto discography languished out of print. Ghetto Records Presents (1970) by Eddie Lebrón was one of them. Lebrón was Ghetto Records's first artist. Bataan supervised the pianist's recording sessions and, importantly, understood Lebrón's desire to have an English-language soul ballad on his album, which was to become a feature of all future releases. To supplement Lebrón's backing band, Orquesta Suave, who had a background in R&B and doo-wop, Bataan brought in high school chum Abdul O'Dool to sing the old chestnut "(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons." Lebrón was Puerto Rican and raised in New York from the age of five, making him part of the generation of Nuyoricans that expressed themselves through salsa. In addition to playing the piano and leading Eddie Lebrón and His Orchestra Suave, as the band was then called, Lebrón also composed and arranged the tunes on the record. Aside from being distinguished as the debut of both Ghetto Records and Eddie Lebrón's band, Ghetto Records Presents sported an eye-catching cover by Izzy Sanabria. The album is a real treat for heavy salsa and Latin soul lovers that has become a much in-demand record among collectors worldwide. Lebrón and Orquesta Suave parted ways after recording this album largely because Lebrón was increasingly in demand as a sideman. In fact, he continued to play piano with, and compose and arrange for, a host of important salsa outfits over the next two decades. Vampisoul are now reissuing Ghetto Records Presents once again thanks to our collaboration with Now-Again Records. This release includes an insert with liner notes and two bonus tracks.

Los Shapis are a Peruvian band from Huancayo who played a key role in the development and popularization of chicha music. In 1981, they released their debut album, Los Auténticos, on the Horóscopo label. The cover art is clearly inspired by rock imagery -- more specifically, it pays tribute to the Ramones' Road to Ruin, released just three years earlier. Beyond its use of electric guitars, albeit in a completely different way -- this album bears no musical resemblance to the Queens punk rockers. Instead, it showcases all the defining characteristics of chicha: the lead role of the electric guitar in the style of Peruvian cumbia and, above all, the vocals. Chicha is fundamentally a vocal genre. The singing is often drenched in reverb, and, more importantly, the lyrics focus on the everyday struggles of the rural migrants who moved to Peru's cities in search of a better life. The vocal style also reflects a strong Andean influence, recalling the region's most emblematic musical genre: huayno. Betrayal, heartbreak, loss, and hardship run throughout the chicha repertoire, and this album is a perfect example, with songs such as "Tu boda," "Borrachito borrachón," and "Mal amigo." The album also includes Amazonian cumbia tracks, such as "En la selva," and even a bolero, "Perdidos." Essential listening for cumbia fans and collectors of Peruvian music, Los Auténticos is an iconic chicha album as well as an excellent gateway into the genre.

"Negro, Negro" is an irresistible mid-tempo groove packed with sublime arrangements, originally featured on her debut solo album (1973). Afro-inspired percussion, funky drum breaks, mysterious vocals that sound as if they were lifted from a obscure library music record, and the hypnotic organ that accompanies Isadora's voice throughout the song come together to create a mesmerizing rhythm that draws the listener in. On the flip side is one of the few recordings made together by the legendary singer Leonor González Mina -- known as "La Negra Grande de Colombia" ("The Great Black Woman of Colombia") -- and Columna de Fuego, the band that briefly served as her backing group in the early 1970s.

It's not every day you hear about a new Lost Animal album. In fact, it's been ten years between drinks. So what happened, and where's frontman/mastermind Jarrod Quarrell been for the last ten years? Amongst a sea of rock bands, LA is essentially a solo act. Simply put; LA is JQ. But on the other hand, amongst an ocean of solo acts, LA possesses the grandiosity of a full band, punk in spirit, but without being fast, or heavy. Armed with keys and synths, timbres align more with what a toucan might listen to, as opposed to what's heard commonly throughout Melbourne's gig economy. Strings are gently plucked and horns are tenderly blown. These are the colorful brush strokes that decorate the upper frequencies. They're the ticket to a far-away land -- exotic, and potentially very dangerous. The album examines the underbelly of what a ten year journey might rub up against. As one may expect, a lot of that action is below the belt. Rewinding, a few things have happened in the past ten years that are worth illuminating. Shags is no longer commandeering the bass full time. Though he does make an appearance on a couple tracks. The main difference from present day to yesteryear LA is Dan Luscombe (The Drones). Luscombe has jumped into the role of producer (and also part of the live band). One could say he's a producer of the Spector-ilk: playing a hands-on approach and assisting Quarrell's song crafting. He may have suggested to add a chorus or two, but the chord progressions remain distinctly Lost Animal. But the album's defining feature is arguably Quarrell's lyricism. He may not cross-examine where he's been, but his voice does unmask where he is: absolved and reincarnated. The decade-long journey has resulted in him looking inwards and unlocking himself. The album's many mantras suggest that he may be a bird (I'm a Bird Now), or that he is living on another planet. Whatever and wherever he may be, Give Some Get Some invites the listener to reflect on their own journey over the past decade. Because the game's got a price. Also available on pink vinyl (ANT 111PV-LP).

Ramjac Corporation, aka Paul Chivers, emerged from the UK's late-'80s rave underground, performing live at parties like Sunrise, Energy, Back to the Future, Fun-da-Mental and Synergy. Building tracks with an Atari computer and an E-MU 12-bit sampler, turning severe technical limitations into raw, elastic club music, 88-92: It is What it Was gathers music born in bedrooms then tested in front of crowds at warehouse raves, while the culture was still inventing itself without boundaries, completely free. Ramjac was the original artist on Irdial Discs, following label founder Akin Fernandez's Aqua Regia, and introduced Lee Purkis' In Sync and Neuropolitique to the label, shaping the singular catalogue of that extraordinary imprint alongside Luke Slater's Morganistic, Thee J Johanz and Anthony Manning. That legacy is now revisited by Musique Pour La Danse, with the release of a limited edition vinyl and digital edition featuring extended liner notes by Nick Halkes of XL Recordings, Positiva and Kicks Like A Mule fame, who witnessed the early Ramjac period first-hand. The release is illustrated by Grant Fulton, who created the visual identity for The Shamen's Synergy events and Orbital albums. This album presents music written exclusively between 1988-92 and forms the foundation of Ramjac Corporation's ongoing live performances. Restored from the original floppy discs, the recordings preserve the unique relationship between early digital technology, sampling culture and live improvisation that defines the Ramjac approach. Mixed for release for the first time by Trevor Lancaster-Smith, whose '90s engineering work encompassed Leftfield, Faithless, and Roni Size, the album brings these compositions into sharp focus while preserving the character of the original instruments and performances. Not just a historical document, 88-92: It is What it Was is a living body of work: music created then, realized now, and continuing to surprise and evolve.

Wewantsounds presents the first official release of a legendary 1977 concert capturing Don Cherry, Collin Walcott, and Leon Thomas in their only documented performance together. Recorded live on March 5, 1977, at Pease Auditorium in Ypsilanti, Michigan, the performance featured the three musicians playing an immersive hypnotic set, joined for part of the evening by the rest of Oregon. Long circulating among a few Don Cherry fans, the full concert is now available featuring Moki Cherry artwork and new liner notes by Jason Weiss -- licensed by the Don Cherry Estate and producer James Quinlan. Don Cherry's huge influence has steadily grown over the years, as fans and new generations of listeners continue to uncover the vast breadth of his global musical vision. Sunrise captures Cherry during a particularly fertile late-1970s period, when the American jazz trumpeter blended global and Eastern spiritual concepts into his "Organic Music" philosophy, drawing deeply from Eastern and African traditions. Moving fluidly between trumpet, the West African doussn'gouni (a traditional hunter's harp from Mali), bamboo flutes, percussion, and vocals, Cherry creates a deeply resonant world music soundscape. Recorded live on March 5, 1977, at Pease Auditorium in Ypsilanti, Michigan, the show took place just a month after Don Cherry participated in the recording of Collin Walcott's ECM album Grazing Dreams. With Walcott playing alongside Cherry and vocalist Leon Thomas, bringing his unmistakable yodel-style vocal approach -- and joined for part of the night by the rest of Oregon (Ralph Towner, Paul McCandless and Glen Moore) -- the performance stands as a stunning, hypnotic forerunner to the formation of CODONA. The newly remastered audio is so vivid and intimate that it feels as though you are sitting directly in the room with the musicians. The release also serves as a vibrant homage to Don and Moki Cherry's creative partnership, featuring a reproduction of Moki's striking 1975 Mandala tapestry on the front cover.

Almost Starlight is the extraordinary new album by Jem Finer (hurdy-gurdy) and John Matthias (violin). Produced by Jay Auborn and recorded in a medieval church, deep in the Devon countryside, in the Summer of 2025, the music is suffused with light, heat and the natural acoustics of the space. The album defies categorization; forced to pigeonhole it the nearest approximation would be "modern-classical" but this ignores its myriad influences and explorations which encompass inspiration from Arvo Pärt through Terry Riley to Can via Delius, Alice Coltrane, and a subtle reimagining of electronic music played purely with acoustic instruments, bending and shaping their possibilities in surprising and unexpected directions. Produced by Jay Auborn, who also plays cello on a number of the compositions, his production opens up and expands the music through a skilled and imaginative use of space, paying homage to the atmosphere of the church.

LP version. Almost Starlight is the extraordinary new album by Jem Finer (hurdy-gurdy) and John Matthias (violin). Produced by Jay Auborn and recorded in a medieval church, deep in the Devon countryside, in the Summer of 2025, the music is suffused with light, heat and the natural acoustics of the space. The album defies categorization; forced to pigeonhole it the nearest approximation would be "modern-classical" but this ignores its myriad influences and explorations which encompass inspiration from Arvo Pärt through Terry Riley to Can via Delius, Alice Coltrane, and a subtle reimagining of electronic music played purely with acoustic instruments, bending and shaping their possibilities in surprising and unexpected directions. Produced by Jay Auborn, who also plays cello on a number of the compositions, his production opens up and expands the music through a skilled and imaginative use of space, paying homage to the atmosphere of the church.

Kosmische Advice EP is the first collaborative release from Roman Flügel and Phil Kieran. Recorded between Belfast and Berlin, the EP brings together two long-established figures in European electronic music whose paths have run in parallel for many years. The title track was written in a single evening session in Belfast during Flügel's visit for Kieran's Leatherette club night, capturing an immediate and largely unaltered performance that sets the tone for the release.

25th anniversary black vinyl repress. Before he was Caribou, Dan Snaith was a 20-something student in a "crappy" Toronto bedroom, recording music on a beat-up computer that used to strain under the weight of digital recording. Start Breaking My Heart was Snaith's 2001 debut, originally released under the name Manitoba. Twenty-five years on, it still sounds like an artist finding his voice in real time -- rainbow melody, hopscotch percussion, and playground laughter stitched into warm, tactile electronic pop. Reflecting on the record, Snaith said it was the first time something clicked -- he'd been making music since his early teens, but this was when he first felt he understood what he wanted his tracks to be. That moment coincided with the chance encounter that changed everything: he met Kieran Hebden (Four Tet) at a UK festival, who helped Dan get this album released -- the start of a career that has spanned a quarter century and many albums since.

Limited edition black vinyl repress. Up in Flames is Dan Snaith's second album, originally released under the Manitoba moniker on March 31, 2003. Made with the same modest home setup as its predecessor, it nonetheless sounds like a different artist entirely -- a kaleidoscopic rush of sun-bright melodies, tumbling percussion, and psychedelic pop that traded the hushed intimacy of Start Breaking My Heart for something warmer, bigger, and more joyfully overstuffed, encompassing 1960s psychedelia, Madchaster swagger and shoegaze swoon. Snaith was later forced to change his artist name after a well-documented lawsuit, and Up in Flames stands as the final album released under the Manitoba name -- a high point to go out on. The record was met with widespread critical acclaim, and has since been recognized by Pitchfork as one of the standout albums of the 2000s. It remains, by most accounts, one of Snaith's finest and most beloved records.

RELEASE DATE: 12/4/2026
Limited edition black vinyl repress. The Milk of Human Kindness is Dan Snaith's third studio album, originally released in 2005. It marked the first record credited to the Caribou name, after Snaith dropped his previous Manitoba moniker following a threatened lawsuit from Handsome Dick Manitoba of The Dictators. Rather than start from scratch, Snaith folded the two sides of himself together -- the icy precision of Start Breaking My Heart and the sun-drenched sprawl of Up in Flames -- into something both hypnotic -- influenced by French progressive rock and German krautrock of the 1970s -- and pastoral. The record was met with strong critical acclaim, and its singles, "Yeti" and "Barnowl," remain fan favorites to this day. Against the backdrop of the legal name change it is simultaneously the end of a chapter while also quietly setting the stage for the run of albums that would follow.
