BERRY, CHUCK	Let It Rock: Greatest Hits 1955-60	LP	ACROBAT	ACRSLP 1674LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 "Pioneering rock 'n' roller, Chuck Berry is one of the most important figures in popular music. His sound captured the imaginations of 1950s teenagers across the world like no other. Revered by artists like The Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Brian Wilson, and Joe Cocker, without Berry all would have sounded very different. Widely acknowledged as the 'Father of Rock 'n' Roll,' Berry was one of the very first musicians to be inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame when it launched in 1986. Speaking of launches, his music was considered so pivotal in the understanding of contemporary popular culture, that it is featured on the Golden Record, carried by space probe, Voyager 1 -- still transmitting from the farthest reaches of the known universe. This collection features a veritable banquet of Berry's greatest hits, showcasing the lyrical and musical talent that has made him such an iconic artist including the timeless 'Maybellene,' 'Roll Over Beethoven,' 'Johnny B. Goode,' 'Wee Wee Houra,' 'School Day (Ring! Ring! Goes The Bell)' and 'Almost Grown'."

SISTER ROSETTA THARPE	Shout, Sister, Shout: The Rock 'n' Roll Originator 1938-56	LP	ACROBAT	ACRSLP 1679LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 "Sister Rosetta Tharpe was a gospel singer, songwriter and guitarist who was unique in her genre as the pioneer of performing gospel using an electric guitar, to the extent that many of her records and performances have been seen as early examples of rock 'n' roll, and she acquired the nicknames 'the original soul sister' and 'the Godmother of rock 'n' roll.' Rock 'n' roll artists like Elvis Presley and Little Richard, and blues guitarists like Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck cite her as an influence. This rocking 16-track LP includes releases with Lucky Millinder's Orchestra, duets with fellow gospel singer Marie Knight, and tracks where she is accompanied by The Sam Price Trio. Her work strayed into the mainstream R&B market, and this collection includes her US R&B hits 'Strange Things Happening Every Day,' 'Precious Memories,' 'Up Above My Head I Hear Music In The Air,' and 'Silent Night' alongside single releases from her iconic album Gospel Train. She was an artist who broke the mould of how gospel could be performed and this collection from a key era of her career is a substantial and entertaining showcase for her unique approach."

DIDDLEY, BO	Say Man! The Singles & More 1955-62	LP	ACROBAT	ACRSLP 1687LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 "They called him the Originator for a very good reason. Bo Diddley was the foremost bridge between blues and rock 'n' roll, facilitated in no small part by his 'Bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp' sound, the famous 'Bo Diddley beat.' He was a master of invention too, inventing his name, his persona and style, and his own guitar. Put simply, he was one of those artists whose importance and influence as a pioneer of popular music far outweighed the commercial and chart success he enjoyed during his career. With just nine U.S. R&B and two Pop chart successes across a career spanning five decades, Diddley was not exactly a hit-making machine. But his legacy is such that echoes of his music pervade rock, pop and hip-hop to this day. This LP revels in Diddley's guitar genius and features 16 of his greatest and most iconic tracks including 'I'm A Man,' 'Diddley Daddy,' 'Pretty Thing,' 'Mona,' 'Say Man' and 'Road Runner.' Once he had scored his first No. 1 with 'Bo Diddley' the shape of popular music changed forever. His influence is clear to see, through some of the work of artists -- and Diddley devotees -- like Buddy Holly, the Rolling Stones, Johnny Otis, Cliff Richard, The Who, Bruce Springsteen, U2, and George Michael. Every time a song uses the 'Bomp ba-bomp bomp, bomp bomp' motif, Diddley's legacy lives on."

HOLIDAY, BILLIE	God Bless Lady Day: The Best Of 1936-42	LP	ACROBAT	ACRSLP 1690LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 "The life and career of Billie Holiday was underscored by triumphs and tragedies. One of the greatest artists of her generation, no-one conveys deep emotion better than 'Lady Day.' Hers was a new jazz voice, influenced by jazz instrumentalists, with its ability to manipulate tempo and phrasing in bold and enthralling ways. The great Frank Sinatra was both a friend and a fan of her music. He said of her in 1958, 'With few exceptions, every major pop singer in the U.S. during her generation has been touched in some way by her genius. It is Billie who was, and still remains, the greatest single musical influence on me.' In fact, her legacy carries across the generations, with artists such as Nina Simone, Joni Mitchell, and Amy Winehouse citing her as an influence. This collection traces an important six years of her early recording career which built the platform for the huge commercial success she enjoyed during the mid to late '40s, before she began to succumb to the lifestyle which eventually destroyed her. It features iconic and beautifully harrowing recordings such as 'Summertime,' 'Strange Fruit,' 'Night & Day,' 'God Bless The Child,' and 'Solitude,' demonstrating her unique and unmistakable way of interpreting the songs. It is a fascinating and beguiling musical journey."

URS GRAF CONSORT	Fireproof Sweat	LP	BISON	BISON 017LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Fireproof Sweat picks up the torch from the group's second album, Vivéré (2016, La République des Granges), though where Vivéré fights and shouts, Fireproof Sweat wonders what for. Writing in Italian allowed for a kind of naïve retour aux sources and opened up a more subjective form of songwriting. Percussionist Camille Emaille and drummer Francesco Pastacaldi each make their first appearance in the group, lending spacious restraint and gorgeous texture, and when paired with the brass of Gabriel Bristow and Simon Sieger they form an irresistibly light touch quartet. Led by the curious invention of singer Adrien Bardi Bienenstock and violinist Prune Bécheau (also cited as performing "mermaid calls"), musically Fireproof Sweat is the most direct Urs Graf Consort record to date, yet its theme is one of loss.

RESIDENTS, THE	Doctor Dark (Double Vinyl Edition)	2LP	CRYPTIC CORPORATION	BRED 915LP
$47.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 "Over two years in the making, the brand-new studio album from The Residents featuring the story of Maggot and Mark -- two young heavy metal fans -- and the mysterious Doctor Anastasia Dark, a disgraced visionary who offers those who need it THE GIFT. Veering from blissed out electronica to thrash metal as only The Residents can, and produced with the San Francisco Conservatory Of Music alongside several familiar guests and collaborators, Doctor Dark is the latest masterpiece of storytelling from San Francisco's weirdest beat combo. 'The Buddha said that life is misery. For the terminally ill, dying in pain, life is misery compounded - but what comes next? Is there a heaven, a nirvana, a paradise with 72 virgins for every martyr? No one knows, but what is known is that nothing makes humans more uncomfortable than death -- the ultimate unknown, the other side of zero, the everlasting void. But maybe death is nothing more than a warm feeling, after a lifetime of whatever misery we choose to embrace, suggesting that nothing is quite so satisfying as one more dip into a lovely river, endlessly flowing into forever. Maybe it is possible to die happily ever after.' -- The Residents"

LIGUORI, GIULIO STOCCHI, DEMETRIO STRATOS, GAETANO	La Cantata Rossa Per Tall El Zaatar	LP	BLACK SWEAT RECORDS	BS 091LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 This album is both a musical and political document that tells the story of one of the most brutal massacres that took place in 1976 in a Palestinian refugee camp during the Lebanese Civil War. Pianist Gaetano Liguori, along with Giulio Stocchi and Demetrio Stratos (the legendary singer of the band Area), composed this album, a gut-wrenching blend of free jazz, poetry, and Mediterranean music. The first edition was released in 1978 and, after almost 50 years, unfortunately, nothing seems to have changed. This is the third edition of the album, and as with the previous releases, all proceeds will go to charity. This time, Black Sweat have chosen to donate the funds to UNRWA.

BLACKBIRDS	No Destination	LP	MORGAN BLUE TOWN	BT 5056LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 "Formed in Germany in the 1960s The Blackbirds gained recognition as part of the burgeoning beat and psychedelic rock scene in Germany. The band was active in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and their sound was influenced by the British Invasion and American rock and roll, blending elements of psychedelia, beat music, and early progressive rock. Their albums, such as No Destination recorded in 1968, received some attention in the underground music scene, characterized by experimental soundscapes, melodic harmonies, and a distinctive 1960s rock influence. Though The Blackbirds didn't achieve widespread international fame, they remain a notable part of Germany's rock history, especially within the context of the Krautrock and psychedelic rock movements."

JIRI JIRI	Give Me Disco: Vol 1 (Selected by DJ Kobayashi)	12"	BATOV RECORDS	BTR 124EP
$22.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Mysterious disco outfit Jiri Jiri deliver an essential EP -- four tracks of sublime, summery European cool hand-picked by Batov Records boss DJ Kobayashi for the label's brand new and carefully curated Give Me Disco 12" series, named after Raja Zahr's disco classic. Springing from the ranks of global grooves ensemble Muito Kaballa and psychedelic travelers YĪN YĪN, Jiri Jiri have honed their musical chops and crafted four Neapolitan funk and pan-European disco jams as hot as the Adriatic coastline. The songs on Give Me Disco: Vol. 1 were born in Naples. Collaborators Jan Janzen and Niklas Mündemann enlisted the production expertise of Pellegrino S. Snichelotto -- founder of Early Sounds Recordings, former Nu Genea producer, and a key architect of the Neapolitan funk renaissance, to further refine their sound. The Neapolitan connection shines brightest on opener "Gino". Gentle, breeze-like percussion interlocks with a gorgeous guitar line and a buttery bassline, laying the foundation for a seductive Neapolitan-style vocal. Flute and synth flourishes are the icing on the cake. Things crank up a notch on "Senza Benza". This uptempo, largely instrumental track fuses Afro disco rhythms with Azymuth-esque synths. The relentless groove hardly lets up, save for a brief, wordless vocal break. Elsewhere, "L'amour" does what it says on the tin, expanding the palette from Neapolitan funk to include Anglo-French vocals that both lament and celebrate love's ups and downs. Closer "Lummo Luvva" returns to instrumental territory with flair. The Give Me Disco: Vol. 1 EP marks the beginning of two exciting new ventures -- the emergence of Jiri Jiri, and inspired by their need for a home, the launch of Batov Records' Give Me Disco 12" series.

POSPIESZALSKI OCTET & ZOH AMBA, MAREK	Now!	LP	INSTANT CLASSIC	CLASSIC 099LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 "Brand new studio album from Marek Pospieszalski Octet featuring Zoh Amba. 'This band turned out to be an effective working unit from day one,' Pospieszalski admits. 'Its musical concepts leave a lot of space for creative playing and that's why I decided to use the Octet as a platform open for outside participation. One of the musicians I considered for this purpose was Zoh who is well recognized for her direct and limitless approach to music. And this opportunity came on the occasion of our concert at NOSPR concert hall in Katowice. The next day we visited Emil Berliner Studios where the album was recorded,' he explains. For most of the music recorded here, sheet music is treated only as a guideline, a rough entry point, and it's only thanks to collective improvisation that Now! sounds as good and coherent as an album. 'And that's one of the reasons why I decided to add titles only once the music got recorded,' Pospieszalski says. 'And despite the fact that I am being really direct here, I prefer to have listeners interpret the album's message on their own. Individual context is key here -- place, time and most importantly, personal emotions.' Leading a 9-person band may seem like a challenge on a lot of levels but Pospieszalski prefers to treat it as a set of new opportunities instead. 'Although everything here is focused on my artistic vision, it wouldn't sound as good if it weren't for other musicians involved,' he admits. 'Each member of the group has their influence over the final result of our collective playing. I tend to give them direction but it is up to them to interpret it.'"

SONOLOGYST	Planetarium	2CD	COLD SPRING RECORDS	CSR 359CD
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 An aural exploration of the solar system by Italian deep sound master Sonologyst, using data from NASA's probes. On this album, raw data from radio waves, electromagnetic fields, and plasma fluctuations, utilizing data sonification files provided by NASA, are transformed into a haunting soundscape, unveiling the ambient music of planets, solar winds, and the cosmic beyond. As the newest addition to Sonologyst's series of sonic documentaries, this work deepens his exploration of the sonic spectrum, converting cosmic phenomena into immersive auditory experiences. NASA and other space agencies have captured "sounds" from the cosmos by recording non-audible signals like radio waves, electromagnetic waves, and plasma (ionized gas that's prevalent in space) wave fluctuations. These are converted into audio frequencies we can hear using a process called data sonification. Spacecraft like Voyager, Cassini, and Juno are equipped with special instruments (e.g., plasma wave antennas, magnetometers, radio wave receivers) to detect radio waves, plasma waves, and electromagnetic fields. These signals can provide data on phenomena like solar wind, planetary magnetospheres, and charged particles. Since many of these signals are outside our hearing range (radio waves might have frequencies far below the audible range (20 Hz to 20 kHz) or far above it, while magnetic and plasma waves are often in the range of milliHertz (mHz) to kilohertz (kHz), also outside human hearing), they are converted using various techniques, including frequency scaling, sampling, filtering, and amplitude modulation. Some events, like plasma wave bursts, happen over long periods. Scientists may speed up the playback so people can hear the changes in a shorter time frame. After conversion, the resulting sounds are often enhanced to make certain patterns, pitches, or changes in intensity more noticeable. This may involve amplifying certain frequencies or adding layers to represent multi-dimensional data. This processing helps bring out subtle differences that might otherwise be hard to discern. Double CD in a matt-finish gatefold ecopak, with a bonus disc of the raw source material from NASA's probes.

COURETTES, THE	The Soul Of: The Fabulous Courettes (Orange Vinyl)	LP	DAMAGED GOODS	DAMGOOD 622-3LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 "The Courettes are back with their fourth and best album to date -- The Soul Of The Fabulous Courettes. And this time, they're bigger, wider and deeper than ever before as they add more to the blistering ramalama that's seen them cause pandemonium across the venues, festivals and airwaves of the UK, Europe, USA and Japan. Hitting the sweet spot that straddles garage rock, girl groups, doo-wop harmonies, heartache and all points in between, here The Courettes build on the momentum of predecessor Back In Mono with a collection of songs that opens up their sonic scope while confronting dark, emotional matter to reveal The Soul Of The Fabulous Courettes. 'We didn't want to do Back In Mono 2',' stresses drummer Martin Couri. 'We always try to put ourselves into a zone of discomfort, which I think is where exciting things happen rather than just doing the same thing over again,' agrees singer, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist Flavia Couri. 'I mean, I know some bands can do that but we don't see ourselves making the same album for the next 20 years. We thought Back In Mono was our best album until this one!' She's not wrong. Having evolved with each album release, The Soul Of The Fabulous Courettes draws inspiration from many of the duo's numerous idols that have only previously been hinted at. 'We wanted to show our love of the Spector Wall Of Sound and Motown,' reveals Flavia. 'It was a clear mission and we've absolutely nailed it.'"

TURRA & ELIO MARTUSCIELLO, LUIGI	Decay Music n.9: Liminale	LP	DIE SCHACHTEL	DSDM 009LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 LP, one-time edition of 200 copies, pressed to 180g black vinyl and housed in a pro-printed jacket, contained in a silk-screened PVC sleeve. Returning with one of its final instalments, Die Schachtel's Decay Music series extends its explorations of inspired contemporary experimental efforts of the ambient, ethereal, and emotively abstract with Luigi Turra and Elio Martusciello's Liminale, an astounding electroacoustic gesture of blurred space and time, plumbing complexity of meaning bound to sonority. Creatively groundbreaking and inspired, radically rethinking the terms of what ambient music can be perceived to be, it stands among the most striking efforts to appear within the series to date. An aural bridge between two distinct generations of Italian experimental musicians, Liminale is the debut collaborative outing from the creative partnership of Luigi Turra and Elio Martusciello. Active within the context for roughly two decades, Turra (b. 1975) is a reductionist/electroacoustic composer, noted from his tense deployment of concrete and acoustic sources -- particularly small sounds and noises -- whose work threads the balance between silence, tactile auditory perception, and aleatoric music. Martusciello (b. 1959), on the other hand, is a musician and composer working across the fields of acousmatic and electroacoustic composition, sound installation, multi-media and audiovisual art, and computer music improvisation, who is widely celebrated for both his solo efforts and his collaborations with Eugene Chadbourne, Mike Cooper, Alvin Curran, Chris Cutler, Rhodri Davies, Iancu Dumitrescu, Michel Godard, Tim Hodgkinson, Lawrence D. "Butch" Morris, Jérôme Noetinger, Tony Oxley, Evan Parker, Z'EV, and others. A single, nearly 40-minute work, extending across the two sides of the LP, Liminale is an exploration of the liminal through sonic means. Unfurling like a labyrinth navigated in darkness, the piece's first half is marked by sparseness and restraint, as slow-paced guitar tones and harmonics thread silences and resonant ambience within a sprawling sense of space, delicately populated by tiny sounds, fleeting punctuations drawn from undeterminable sources, vocal utterances, and the unexpected appearance of intoxicating piano tones. As Liminale progresses into its second half, Turra and Martusciello enter a more densely populated notion of the in between. No less defined by the presence of space and mystery, discreet textures rustle and writhe within passages of pure concrete abstraction and a fragmented, stretched sense of musicality. Intimate, fragile, and achingly beautiful, Liminale, Luigi Turra and Elio Martusciello's debut collaboration, is a masterstroke in sound-craft and composition. Mastered for vinyl by Giuseppe Ielasi, Liminale is issued as the ninth entry in Die Schachtel's Decay Music series.

ARMAROLI & DAVID TOOP, SERGIO	Decay Music n.10: And I Entered Into Sleep	LP	DIE SCHACHTEL	DSDM 010LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 LP, one-time edition of 200 copies, pressed to 180g black vinyl and housed in a pro-printed jacket, contained in a silk-screened PVC sleeve. Returning with its final instalments, Die Schachtel's Decay Music series extends its explorations of inspired contemporary experimental efforts of the ambient, ethereal, and emotively abstract with Sergio Armaroli and David Toop's And I Entered Into Sleep, an astounding electroacoustic gesture of blurred space and time, plumbing complexity of meaning bound to sonority. Creatively groundbreaking and inspired, radically rethinking the terms of what ambient music can be perceived to be, it stands among the most striking efforts to appear within the series to date. Reconfiguring the notion of bridge building on a multitude of terms, it feels fitting that the tenth and final installment of Die Schachtel's Decay Music series, Sergio Armaroli and David Toop's And I Entered Into Sleep, was co-created by an artist whose work featured in the first suite of LPs issued by Brian Eno's Obscure Records in 1975, the groundwork toward which Decay Music's own efforts nod. David Toop has been regarded as a pioneer in British experimental and improvised music: a sonic voyager who has continuously challenged the sources and materiality of sound through rigorously thoughtful performances, a vast catalog of recordings, and a steady flow of highly influential texts. Be it as a member of Alterations, his group breaking group with Peter Cusack, Terry Day, and Steve Beresford that ran between 1977 to 1986, or through is noteworthy work with artists like Rie Nakajima, Thurston Moore, Paul Burwell, and numerous others, collaboration has always played a central role within Toop's singular practice. A composer, percussionist, vibraphonist, and multidisciplinary artist, Armaroli has been issuing radical and forward-thinking musical gestures for decades, working as one of Italy's most noteworthy interpreters of composer's like Giacinto Scelsi, John Cage, Franco Evangelisti, Giancarlo Schiaffini, and Walter Branchi, as both a solo performer and member of the highly regarded Rib Trio, as well as forging a singular practice as a composer. Featuring Armaroli on vibraphone and prepared vibraphone and Toop on electronics, And I Entered Into Sleep is "a sonic journey, a Proustian suggestion à la Recherche, into the unconscious between electronic and acoustic sounds." Feeling almost subaquatic at times, each artist's markedly different sound-sources dance in abstract grace, incorporating subtle nods to minimalism, free jazz, and musique concrète. And I Entered Into Sleep traverses uncharted realms at the borders of literary reference, sound art, ambience and abstraction through delicately musical sounds, revealing new depths at every turn.

FEX	Subways Of Your Mind (TMMS Version) (Splatter Vinyl)	7"	THE OUTER EDGE	EDGE 029SP-EP
$22.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Limited splatter vinyl edition of "The Most Mysterious Song On The Internet." Imagine having a song go viral for 17 years -- without even knowing it. That's exactly what happened to the German 1980s band FEX. And this isn't just any song -- it's "The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet," a track that puzzled music detectives for decades before finally being identified in November 2024. Now, it has been officially released -- twice. The Story in Brief: Sometime around 1984, a song was broadcasted on NDR Radio. The name of the song was "Subways Of Your Mind" -- only found out 40 years later in November 2024. Back then, a listener recorded the NDR show on cassette, a common practice at the time. Decades later, the tape resurfaced, but while most songs from the recording were identified, one remained an enigma. On March 18, 2007, the track was uploaded to the internet in an attempt to uncover its origins. Due to its now-iconic opening lyric, it was tentatively titled "Like The Wind." Over time, the mystery deepened, and the song was given a nickname: "The Most Mysterious Song" -- or simply "TMMS." Then, in 2024, the breakthrough: Reddit user marjin1412 reached out to musician Michael Hädrich after discovering a reference to his band FEX in an old newspaper article. Hädrich, FEX's keyboardist, provided a recording from an old demo cassette which included an alternative version of the song. On November 4, 2024, the mystery was officially solved: FEX was the band, "Subways Of Your Mind" was the title. A higher-quality version of the NDR radio recording was rediscovered in late December, 2024, remastered, and now sent for a second vinyl pressing: the "TMMS Version." This new vinyl 7" is backed with "Talking Hands," another great and unissued song that was found on the demo cassette.

ALIEN SIGNAL	Whispers From Distant Suns	LP	ENOISE RECORDS	ENOISEREC 020LP
$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 After a 30-year interstellar silence, the enigmatic producer Alien Signal -- pioneering alias of Italian electronic composer Alex Silvi -- reemerges with Whispers from Distant Suns, a transcendent odyssey that bridges retro-futurism and modern electronica. Hailed as a magnum opus, this album transcends genre boundaries, captivating ambient purists, downtempo aficionados, and even experimental listeners with its hypnotic fusion of analog warmth and digital precision. Whispers from Distant Suns marries nostalgic synth textures with cutting-edge production. Silvi's mastery of melody shines through in tracks like "Stardust Memories" and "Fragile Eden" where shimmering arpeggios and celestial pads drift over robotic, glitch-infused drum patterns and sparse, meditative percussion. The result is a paradox: a retro-futuristic soundscape that feels simultaneously ancient and alien, familiar yet unexplored. Pressed on heavyweight vinyl, the album's physical release amplifies its immersive qualities. The gatefold sleeve, adorned with surrealist astrophotography and metallic foiling, mirrors the music's cosmic ethos. This album is a testament to Silvi's evolution. Whispers from Distant Suns is more than an album -- it's a transcendent odyssey. Spanning time, space, and the artist's own creative evolution, this immersive work invites listeners to lose themselves in its ebb and flow. Designed for moments both intimate and expansive, its balearic-tinged atmospheres resonate equally through dawnlit Mediterranean terraces or the solitary glow of headphones in darkness.

MARGARITA WITCH CULT	Margarita Witch Cult	LP	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 262P-LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Purple color vinyl. Born from the murky industrial depths of Birmingham, UK, Margarita Witch Cult's self-titled debut studio album is a tour-de-force in classic metal, hard rock, doom, and mind-melting psych. A thunderous drum fill propels you into opener "Diabolical Influence" -- a lurching behemoth of a tune that makes easy bedfellows of crushing stoner riffs, Latin incantations, and a simply humongous chorus. The pace quickens with the frantic "Death Lurks at Every Turn" -- a hair-raising thrasher of breakneck snare rolls and unruly guitar solos. "The Witchfinder Comes" only furthers the sense of foreboding, as tales of torture and pleas for exile fall on the ever-deafening ears of the listener. "Be My Witch" comes in hot and heavy as a grungy ode to the forbidden, and the blistering "Annihilation" concludes side A with speed-freak ferocity. The more adventurous and immersive side B is kick-started with "Theme From Cyclops" -- the deft chops of all three members being undeniable as they gallop into the ambitious, face-melting journey that is "Lord Of The Flies" -- a belting doom groover that culminates in a classic guitar and bass dual to rival even the most virtuosic of axe-wielders. Near the end of this perilous sonic expedition, "Aradia" serves up an instrumental serving of pure downtuned filth, with sleazy swagger and tasteful shredding that give extra provenance to its author's deep bag of tricks. The killer blow comes in the shape of the simply savage "Sacrifice" -- an unholy exhibition of undeniable force. The duality of the track makes for an experience that leaves the sweet listener reeling -- the bludgeoning weight of its monstrous main-riff giving way to razor-sharp verses and a tripped-out, mind-bending psych jam -- only to come crashing back to crushing reality as the final, fatal notes ring out.

MARGARITA WITCH CULT	Margarita Witch Cult (Yellow/Blue Splatter Vinyl)	LP	HEAVY PSYCH SOUNDS	HPS 262ULTRA2LP
$41.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Yellow/blue splatter color vinyl. Born from the murky industrial depths of Birmingham, UK, Margarita Witch Cult's self-titled debut studio album is a tour-de-force in classic metal, hard rock, doom, and mind-melting psych. A thunderous drum fill propels you into opener "Diabolical Influence" -- a lurching behemoth of a tune that makes easy bedfellows of crushing stoner riffs, Latin incantations, and a simply humongous chorus. The pace quickens with the frantic "Death Lurks at Every Turn" -- a hair-raising thrasher of breakneck snare rolls and unruly guitar solos. "The Witchfinder Comes" only furthers the sense of foreboding, as tales of torture and pleas for exile fall on the ever-deafening ears of the listener. "Be My Witch" comes in hot and heavy as a grungy ode to the forbidden, and the blistering "Annihilation" concludes side A with speed-freak ferocity. The more adventurous and immersive side B is kick-started with "Theme From Cyclops" -- the deft chops of all three members being undeniable as they gallop into the ambitious, face-melting journey that is "Lord Of The Flies" -- a belting doom groover that culminates in a classic guitar and bass dual to rival even the most virtuosic of axe-wielders. Near the end of this perilous sonic expedition, "Aradia" serves up an instrumental serving of pure downtuned filth, with sleazy swagger and tasteful shredding that give extra provenance to its author's deep bag of tricks. The killer blow comes in the shape of the simply savage "Sacrifice" -- an unholy exhibition of undeniable force. The duality of the track makes for an experience that leaves the sweet listener reeling -- the bludgeoning weight of its monstrous main-riff giving way to razor-sharp verses and a tripped-out, mind-bending psych jam -- only to come crashing back to crushing reality as the final, fatal notes ring out. With their debut LP, Margarita Witch Cult have crafted a timeless, merciless beast -- one that will chew you up and spit you out, yet somehow keep you crawling back for more.

LINIKER	CAJU	CD	JAZZYBELLE	JB 004CD
$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Second album by Brazil's upcoming star, Liniker. A seamless blend of pop, samba, jazz, R&B, and house. Featuring Lulu Santos, Pabllo Vittar, Tropkillaz, Melly, Priscila Senna, Baianasystem, Amaro Freitas, and Anavitória. Born in Araraquara/São Paulo, Liniker is a multitalented artist -- singer, songwriter, music producer, and actress -- whose passion for the arts began in childhood. Influenced by her mother and uncles, who were active in samba rock circles, Liniker's early musical experiences planted the seeds for her future career. Today she is one of the most exciting Brazilian artists. In 2022, she won the Best Brazilian Album category at the Latin Grammy Awards with Indigo Borboleta Anil. In 2023, Liniker became immortalized by the Brazilian Academy of Culture, taking the seat once held by Elza Soares, the eternal Brazilian singer. Liniker's sophomore album CAJU has quickly become a classic in Brazilian popular music. The album's 14 tracks -- some extending beyond seven minutes -- demonstrate Liniker's commitment to artistic expression over commercial constraints. Liniker showcases versatility and artistic growth through a seamless blend of pop, samba, jazz, R&B, and house. Songs like "Veludo Marrom," "Tudo," and "Ao Teu Lado" shine for their musical complexity and emotional depth. Its success led to multiple wins at 2024 Multishow Brazilian Music Awards, including Artist and Album of the Year.

BRYLHO	Brylho	LP	JAZZYBELLE	JB 005LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 A true embodiment of Brazilian boogie, this is the first official reissue of Brylho's album, founded in Rio de Janeiro in 1978 as Brylho da Cidade. The group was influenced by the Black Rio movement of Tim Maia, Cassiano, and others. Members included Arnaldo Brandão (vocals/bass), Paulo Roquette (guitar), Cláudio Zoli (guitar/vocals), Robério Rafael (drums), Bolão (percussion), and Ricardo Cristaldi (keyboard). Claudio Zoli stands out as an important funk artist of the 1980s, during a time when pop rock bands dominated the Brazilian music scene. This album features one of the biggest hits of 1983: the soulful reggae groove "Noite do Prazer." Often described as Rio de Janeiro's answer to George Benson's "Give Me the Night," it's a timeless classic that bridges funk, soul, and Brazilian grooves. On "Se Você For a Salvador," a sun-soaked, feel-good boogie track, younger generations have embraced a new term to describe the sound: Brazilian City Pop. The record also delivers dancefloor heat like the stomping "Jóia Rara," the vibrant soul-reggae fusion "Destrava Maria," the ahead-of-its- time rap-funk hybrid "Cheque Sem Fundo," and the electrifying samba-reggae "Pé de Guerra," rich with Bahian rhythms and energy. Closing out the album are two under-the-radar jazz-funk gems: "Meditando" and "171." Though often lumped into the boogie category, these tracks lean more toward the sleek 1980s jazz-funk sound, reminiscent of UK acts like Level 42.

CZERNOWIN, CHAYA	Seltene Erde & Atara	CD	KAIROS	KAI 22048CD
$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 "This compelling album presents works by Israeli composer Chaya Czernowin, exploring the fragile balance between destruction and communication, control and surrender. 'Seltene Erde' transforms the double bass and ensemble into a shifting landscape of illusion and resonance, evoking the invisible forces shaping our world. 'Atara,' born from the isolation of 2020, is a powerful orchestral lament, where vast sonic masses collide with the delicate voices of two singers, lost yet luminous. Through these works, Czernowin crafts a deeply visceral experience -- where sound becomes both raw material and fleeting shadow, revealing the unseen forces that shape existence."

TELLEM, GENE	Phantom Vibrations	12"	LOVE INJECTION FANZINE & RECORDS	LIR 011EP
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 "A place between deep listening and a dance" is how Gene Tellem describes the music she releases via her Montreal-based independent label, Bienvenue Recordings. However her words apply just as well to her own sound as an artist, producer and remixer. Though inspired by early deep house and its musical antecedents, Gene's work possesses an emotional resonance that transcends influence. It's a quality that's characterized her output since debuting her productions in 2017 -- whether working solo or within her four-piece group Secret Witness, with vocalists or instrumentally, or via Bienvenue or other labels within the indie community. And it's in abundance on the five-track Phantom Vibrations EP -- her latest contribution to the imprint with which she shares an appreciation for the sounds and spaces that blur active listening and movement, NYC's Love Injection Records. Its centerpiece is "Phantom Vibrations" -- a paean to the allure of the elusive and ethereal that features the soulfully understated vocals of singer and co-writer Teddy Bryant across four distinct mixes. Gene's "Main Mix" emphasizes the song's emotive duality. It opens pensively -- Teddy's doubled voice pledging devotion to an unrequited "phantom love" over stuttering bass and percussion. But halfway through, his repeated refrain becomes less a plea than an invitation. Bass and drums synchronize, the track motors up, and the lyrics' melancholia is absorbed into the momentum of the dance. The "Radio Mix" and largely instrumental "Alt Mix" capture these intertwined emotional ghost notes as stand-alone statements. Two remarkable additional remixes come courtesy of Sapporo, Japan's Kuniyuki Takahashi. Long venerated as an artist, producer and sound designer (over a storied career that's included collaborations with Theo Parrish, Joe Claussell, Henrik Schwartz, DJ Sprinkles and 4 Hero's Dego amongst others), Kuniyuki's "Kuniyuki Remix" dubs out Bryant's vocals within a beautiful arrangement of darting synth work. His dreamlike "Beatless Remix" strips back the track to its melodic bones, and in the tradition pioneered by Francois K's early '80s Prelude dubs, bathes Bryant's vocals in ecstatic echo.

Lyrics were derived from cut-up methods similar to those used by the surrealists, fluxus artists, and William Burroughs and Bryon Gysin and pit the subjected against their torments and tormentors.

TERI, TODH	The Return Of Neela Devi	12"	MASALA MOVEMENT	MM 006EP
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Todh Teri is back with a brand-new chapter. The Return of Neela Devi kicks off a vinyl-only series where the iconic characters from Deep In India finally take center stage. Leading the way is Neela Devi herself, across three genre-spanning tracks that cover everything from vintage disco to spaced-out synths and slow-burning indie dance. There's something here for every kind of listener -- the groover, the dreamer, and the deep digger. It opens with "Maalgaadi 54" -- a relentless disco heater drenched in '70s glam, trippy layers, and hands-in-the-air energy. Next comes "Cosmic Dirt" -- dusty, mysterious, and dripping with attitude. Think desert synths, dark disco grooves, and a mood straight out of an Indian spaghetti western. Closing the record is "Beauty Blues" -- a dubby slow-burner that gently builds before locking into a bouncing, blissed-out groove. A cheeky take on a classic that'll leave you smiling from start to finish. Those who dig a little deeper into the wax will uncover a secret locked groove visually, the record is a stunner. The artwork is helmed by Soju Aduckathil, with creative direction by Manoj Kurian, the visionary behind Masala Movement. Marking the sixth release on the Masala Movement label, this vinyl-only beauty is just the beginning.

The album explores the boundaries of contemporary electronic music, blending synthetic and organic sounds, layering analogue and digital sources, where abstract and concrete elements shift in and out of focus. Boundaries are not only physical -- shaping how listeners experience time and space -- but also emotional, framing the sense of place they attach to them. The tracks play with these flimsy, and uncertain intersections, exploring expression and perception through evolving, haunting and diffused sonic landscapes.

VA	Call Me By Your Name	2LP	MUSIC ON VINYL	MOV 184B-LP
$52.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 "Call Me By Your Name, the film by Luca Guadagnino, is a sensual and transcendent tale of first love, based on the acclaimed novel by Andre Aciman. Summer of 1983, Northern Italy. An American-Italian is enamored by an American student who comes to study and live with his family. Together they share an unforgettable summer full of music, food, and romance that will forever change them. The film received critical acclaim. Critics praised in particular Chalamet, Hammer and Stuhlbarg's performances, Guadagnino's direction and the screenplay. Call Me By Your Name won a variety of Awards, including Academy, Bafta, GLAAD and many more. Sufjan Stevens's song 'Mystery of Love' was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 90th Academy Awards. Luca Guadagnino wanted the film's music to be connected to Elio, a young pianist who likes to transcribe and adapt pieces in order to get close to Oliver. The music is used to reflect the time, the characters' family, level of education and 'the kind of canon they would be a part of.' Guadagnino found himself resonating with Sufjan Stevens' lyricism through his work and initially asked Stevens to record an original song. Eventually, Stevens contributed three songs to the soundtrack: 'Visions of Gideon,' which was used at the end of the film, 'Mystery of Love,' which was featured in the film's first trailer and a new rendition of 'Futile Devices' with piano. Stevens penned the songs by using the script, the book, and the conversations with the director about the characters. It marks Sufjan Stevens' first soundtrack for a feature film. The vinyl package of Call Me By Your Name includes a poster, an insert and the 180-gram records are housed in two exclusive printed inner sleeves."

Its selections span his many aliases and projects, offering a rare glimpse into the full scope of his groundbreaking career.

Iconic remixes such as his Grammy-nominated rework of Junior Boys' "Like A Child" is included alongside lesser-known but equally epic remixes such as his sublime 2012 mix of Slam's "Azure," which is employed for the film's title credits and had previously only seen a limited release.

The film explores his work at the intersection of music, art, and culture, from his collaborations with Bottega Veneta to his Party/After-Party installation, acquired by the Detroit Institute of Arts and exhibited at MOCA Los Angeles. Featuring interviews with Gilles Peterson, Roni Size, Laurent Garnier, DJ Minx, Kenny Larkin, Moritz von Oswald, and James Lavelle, Desire highlights Carl's championing of Detroit's Black creative excellence and the often-overlooked African-American roots of electronic music.

BNNYHUNNA	Echoes Of Prayer	LP	SDBAN ULTRA	SDBANU 045LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Following the success of his debut album Echoes of Prayer Ghanaian-Dutch artist Bnnyhunna presents the album's first-ever vinyl release. Echoes of Prayer stands as a deeply personal and spiritual work that reflects Bnnyhunna's faith, his early experiences growing up in church, and his West African heritage. Every track on the album serves as a form of prayer, a conversation with God. The album showcases his ability to weave poetic lyrics, vivid visuals, and captivating melodies, creating an immersive experience that resonates on a spiritual and emotional level. Bnnyhunna's signature fusion of jazz, hip-hop, gospel, and Afro rhythms highlights his versatility and musical integrity. Echoes of Prayer also blends elements of '70s P-Funk grooves, gospel harmonies, and modern hip-hop rhythms. Each song represents a different facet of Bnnyhunna's artistic vision. The album's diverse sound is elevated by collaborations with The Cavemen, who lend their signature highlife revival, and Jembaa Groove, who contribute with West African-inspired rhythms. Bnnyhunna challenges conventional music by engaging all the senses through photography, videography, and poetry. The release of Echoes of Prayer follows a year of significant achievements for Bnnyhunna. In 2024, he performed for Highsnobiety at Paris Fashion Week, appeared at prestigious festivals such as Dekmantel and Zwarte Cross, and played a standout performance at the Steam Down Weekly series in London. Additionally, he composed an original score for the Dutch National Opera and won the Edison Pop Award, one of the most prestigious music awards in the Netherlands (often referred to as the Dutch Grammys), in the Soul/R&B/Funk category. With the vinyl release of Echoes of Prayer, Bnnyhunna offers fans a tangible, collectible edition of his powerful debut.

VA	Zamaan Ya Sukkar	7"	SOUMA RECORDS	SMR45 001EP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 At the height of Pan-Arabism, when the United Arab Republic fused Egypt and Syria in a fleeting but bold experiment, a new wave of popular music was emerging -- vibrant, infectious, and universally danceable. Among its lesser-known stars was actress Leila Gamal, whose voice -- delicate yet rich with longing -- embodied the golden era of Egyptian cinema. Born in Alexandria to Syrian roots, Gamal's vocals were a magnetic blend of sweetness and passion, with a timeless allure that echoed the silver-screen sweethearts of her time. "Abaleeh Abalingi" pulses with the hypnotic drive of funky organ riffs, reminiscent of the blind visionary Ammar El Sheriyi, creating a sound both cinematic and undeniably catchy. The delicate lyrics by Khairi Fouad place the track firmly in the lineage of the Middle East's most iconic pop divas, from Angham to Nawal El-Zoughbi who he subsequently wrote for. This reissue, lovingly remastered, brings this long-lost gem back to life, where it belongs -- spinning on turntables, teasing dance floors, and transporting listeners to Egypt in the late sixties. Adel Osman's "Oriental Eyes" captures the essence of the '60s Egyptian Franco-Arab movement, blending Western (often jazz) influences with Arabic melodies to mesh mystique with sensuality. Osman's commanding yet delicate vocals deliver the bilingual lyrics with captivating sincerity, his voice effortlessly gliding over the swells of the arrangement. The trumpet, possibly connecting him to Zaki Osman of Salah Ragab's legendary Cairo Jazz Band, adds a layer of flair, enriching the track's Tarantino-esque eclecticism. Now remastered, "Oriental Eyes" is not only a nostalgic gem but a timeless reminder of the boundary-defying spirit that defined the 1960s musical landscape. Given the ongoing war efforts against Israel, this record wasn't pressed by Sono Cairo till much later in 1975 once Egypt had recaptured the Sinai and restored national pride.

$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Maggid Tewfik's "Mazzika Nicab" Parts 1 and 2. Released in 1973, Mazzika Nicab by Egyptian film director and iconic figure Maggid Tewfik is a trippy instrumental journey into the experimental realms of baladi music. Known for his prolific career as a director and DOP in over 30 Coptic films, Tewfik's composition, split in two parts, presents a moody yet undeniably cheeky tune that is unlike anything found in Egyptian music over the ages. The track is a hypnotic blend of Eastern rhythms and Latin grooves, featuring an early drum machine that guides the track through its jubilant and stormy atmosphere. This mechanical beat is paired with funky garage sounds, creating a psychedelic fusion that evokes images of an epic cinematic score, where belly dance meets the raw energy of late-'60s experimental rock. Belly-dance sci-fi perhaps.

SAYEGH & MELHEM BARAKAT, GEORGETTE	Zamaan Ya Sukkar - Georgette Sayegh & Melhem Barakat	7"	SOUMA RECORDS	SMR45 003EP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Finally, hopping across from Egypt to Lebanon for this infectious number, Georgette Sayegh delivers what some consider her magnum opus in a captivating duet together with Melhem Barakat, and on the flipside a stripped-down instrumental version that's equally catchy. Georgette Sayegh is a legendary Lebanese singer and actress known for her tender and dulcet voice that echoed the grace and beauty of the inimitable Fairuz yet carried its own unique warmth. Her passion for collecting vinyl at an early age formed her eclectic musical palette, and she eventually caught the eyes of the Rahbani brothers and played the lead role in a monthly play written by Fairuz's son, Ziad. Georgette's household classic "Yay Yay Ya Nassini" shot her to stardom across the Arab world in the 1970's, and till this day carries the exact same nostalgia of a Lebanese summertime anthem -- flirtatious, jolly, and unfettered. In "Belghi Kull Mawaidi" (I cancel all my appointments), Sayegh's voice entwines with compatriot and fellow household staple, Melhem Barakat in an emotional display of longing and depth -- her voice delicate yet powerful, effortlessly blending with Barakat's commanding baritone. The instrumental version on the flipside (surprisingly a stereo mix) reveals a highly catchy arrangement that is lush and emotive, driven by strings that glide smoothly through the melody, while brass instruments add a touch of drama. The rhythm section, punctuated by a steady percussion, anchors the track, allowing the interplay of instruments to build a sense of urgency and longing, accurately reflecting the struggles and emotional resilience that defined Sayegh's own life. This reissue, remastered with painstaking care, brings both versions of Belghi Kull Mawaidi back to life, making it an essential addition to any avid listener, DJ or collector's shelf. It captures the timeless beauty of two of Lebanon's most cherished musical icons, their voices and instruments merging to create a track that resonates through the ages.

RADIO SPECIES	Compressed Knowledge	Cassette	SODA GONG	SODA 017CS
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Scavenger tones and scrambled cassette residue drift across the surface of Compressed Knowledge, a quietly astonishing new work by Philadelphia-based sound artist Tyler Games, operating here as Radio Species. Following releases on Regional Bears, Irrational Tentent, and his own now-defunct Born Physical Form imprint, Games works in a space between musique concrète, tape collage, and microsound, using an economy of gesture to create a suite of fundamentally elusive compositions. Harmonic loops stutter and fold in on themselves, hazy rhythms break free from their clocks, snatches of speech cut out mid-thought as a layer of room tone and tape gunk holds everything in suspension. There's a sense of broadcast without a source, flickering across half-tuned frequencies -- hinting at formal structures while continually slipping away from them. The result is not archival in the traditional sense, but archaeological: these tracks are partial objects, pulled from the noise floor of memory. In its refusal to resolve into stable meaning or musical form, this is work that draws from traditions of sound ethnography, experimental documentation, and concrète montage -- where listening itself becomes a mode of speculative reconstruction.

RANDOM GODS	Pneuma	LP	SOUK	SOUK 015LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 An elusive and quiet figure amidst the Portuguese electronic scene, Timóteo Azevedo aka Random Gods releases his debut album on Discrepant's sub label Souk after his killer appearance in the long sold out Antologia de Música Atípica Portuguesa Vol. 2 compilation back in 2019. With two previous EPs on Danse Noire and ZABRA, Random Gods' futurist visions project themselves through a scavenger-like body music assembled from the hopes and debris of these uncertain and dread-inducing times. Rituals conjured from metal shards, blunted kickdrums, submerged basslines, reverberating textures, cut up vocals and lazer guided melodies. The orchestral runs of opener "Abertura" as a glimmer of nervous light into the deep end bass weight meditations on syncopated kicks and grimey synth stabs of "Somatiga." Slow burner "Pneuma" conjures neon synth lines into its half-step flow, while "Acervo" complicates the rhythm further with its profusion of crumbling kickdrums, tossed off claps and tonal percussion. "Prumoo" dwells deeper into post-industrial ardkore nuum with its merciless drum patterns and mol-ten basslines and "Alvoro" feels like footwork taken into those same wastelands, with a nervous percussive backbone from some ancient future -- take that as you will.

PDQB	The Electrifying Dojo	12"	SYNAPTIC CLIFFS	SYNAPTIC 009EP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Congratulations, Electro connoisseur! You are about to enter the Electrifying Dojo. A place where Sifu pdqb and Sensei Rolando teach a transcendental, one-of-a-kind neo-futuristic martial art that does not use hands but something far more delicate and powerful: MUSIC. Blending martial discipline with the art of electronic music is something deeper, something that no words can properly describe. The skills you will be taught here are feeling music, embodying it. pdqb and Rolando believe that true harmony comes when the mind, body, and soul are united in the sounds that vibrate through the air. The sounds of this first lesson are soft at first, almost imperceptible. But then they grow into a delicate, trembling melody that fills the room with an emotion that is difficult to place. It isn't sadness, nor is it joy, but something in between. The more you listen, the more you will be aware of something strange: tears will fall gently, silently. They are not forced, nor are they out of sorrow -- it is simply because the music feels so beautiful. Your deepest emotions will be triggered, every note will carry out an old truth, a secret truth, buried deep in your heart. Another quality drop from Synaptic Cliffs. Four dark and beautiful signature-style Electrocognition journeys from pdqb, playful with a modern twist while still remaining loyal to its roots. And on the flipside: two stunning, classic Rolando remixes, each with the potential to be the crowning moment in the club.

BLACK SITES	R4	2LP	TRESOR	TRESOR 379LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 A long-dormant signal reactivates from Hamburg's hidden places: Helena Hauff and F#X return as Black Sites with R4 on Tresor Records -- their first full-length album and the first release under the moniker since 2014. Like a hieroglyphic recently discovered and translated, R4 feels more like a long-awaited resumption than a comeback. Recorded to tape with minimal editing or post-production the record is a classic example of the symbiotic relationship that can come from the interaction of human and machine. This punk ethos isn't invoked through distortion alone, but through method; in the album's breaking from the received wisdom of hardness tethered to speed as most of the tougher pieces are lower BPM and vice versa (with one notable exception in the mind-melting stomp of "BLOKK"). Across ten tracks, Black Sites traverse a landscape where genre dissolves into intention. It migrates through electro's danceability, acid house's corrosion, and into the liminal realm of machine funk -- a genre coined by Andrew Weatherall, which sounds like the results of technology dreaming of soul where the emphasis is on live execution, on immediacy over perfection -- a sound forged in the act of creating, not polishing. In a 2013 interview, around the time of the first Black Sites EP, Hauff was quoted as saying that she wants "things to fit together properly, but on another level, I really want them to make sense together." That principle animates R4: The album's form reveals itself in time, with each movement echoing and amplifying the others to create a synergistic whole. From the opening crawl of "C4" (a name that like the music foreshadows the explosions to come) to the end-of-the-night bliss of "MOTHERJAM" via the intense peaks of "BLOKK, 707," and classic acid track "3D," it's clear that R4 is a work made with serious intent; a refutation of a world where streaming has made the two-minute single the dominant musical form again. R4 demands immersion, not just attention. It is not a collection of tracks, but a singular, recursive experience: a mirror in which sound and listener repeatedly rediscover one another.

Such is the case with rising Lithuanian superstar DJ JM's moov EP, which contains five tracks so good they needed to hit today's streets today. To ensure the mind-churning efficiency and logistical brilliance needed to pull off this kind of turnaround, label life-giver Tiga slept and tried to bathe at the office for five straight days before being hospitalized for "caring too much." The result is a thrilling showcase for DJ JM, perhaps the label's favorite current artist working in any medium. His grit-rich beats, his melodist's ear, his sound design -- sometimes it's all too much to bear. But bear it and grin you shall, and as you have the night of your life every night from now into the future untold, take a moment to spare a grin in the knowledge that somewhere there is a man hooked up to a Gatorade IV who wanted all of this for you and could not bear for you to wait a moment longer.

KYNARD, CHARLES	Woga	LP	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSLP 107LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/18/2025 Wewantsounds reissues Charles Kynard's 1972 cult classic Woga, recorded in Los Angeles for Mainstream Records and featuring top-tier musicians Chuck Rainey, Paul Humphrey, Arthur Adams, and George Bohanon. Produced by Bob Shad, the album stands as one of the label's funkiest releases, showcasing Kynard's signature Hammond organ grooves. Woga is reissued here on vinyl for the first time since its original release, complete with its original gatefold artwork using first-generation session photos. This edition comes with newly remastered audio plus a two-page insert featuring new liner notes by Kevin Le Gendre. Charles Kynard, born in St. Louis in 1933, passed away relatively young at the age of 46 in 1979. Despite a short career, he left a lasting impression on the international jazz-funk scene with a string of soul-jazz classics, culminating with Woga. Kynard began his professional career in St. Louis before relocating to Los Angeles in the early '60s, where he started recording for the Pacific Jazz label. There, he worked with renowned musicians such as Howard Roberts, Sonny Stitt, and Buddy Collette, releasing his debut album for the label in 1963. In 1971, Kynard joined Bob Shad's Mainstream Records and recorded three highly sought-after albums for the label, including Woga. Woga includes dynamic covers of contemporary soul hits such as Donny Hathaway's "Little Ghetto Boy," Aretha Franklin's "Rock Steady," and the Staple Singers' "Name the Missing Word," alongside deep-cut originals like the fiery "Hot Sauce," the laid-back "Lime Twig," and the explosive nine-minute jam "Slop Jar," featuring standout solos by trombonist George Bohanon, guitarist Arthur Adams, and trumpeter Jerome Rusch. This reissue also includes the bonus track "Smiling Faces Sometimes", a rendition of the Motown psychedelic soul hit by The Undisputed Truth. Recorded during the original Woga sessions, the track briefly surfaced on a low-profile compilation two years later. It features none other than the legendary Carol Kaye on bass.

BLACKSHAW, JAMES	Unraveling In Your Hands	LP	AMISH RECORDS	AMI 063LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 "As long-time admirers of his six and twelve-string wizardry, Amish Records presents the release of James Blackshaw's (kinda) new album, Unraveling In Your Hands. Originally released digitally in November 2024, solely on James' Bandcamp. The album marks the first music James has released since his self-imposed hiatus in 2016. After much personal tumult including a broken shoulder, the loss of his job and the death of his beloved dog Dexter, James finally felt the pull back to music. He begun to work, not even knowing if his injury would allow him to play the guitar, and then Unraveling In Your Hands quietly appeared. The title track is the album's center piece, a 27-minute meditation of precise guitar phrasings and shimmering harmonics, recorded in a single take. In UNCUT, Jon Dale says it's 'an unrelenting, hypnotic stream of shivering strings, tiny flecks of light dazzling as you plunge deep into the repetition, while following a snaky melody through the thickets -- is certainly unforgettable.' 'Dexter' is a somber piece with a minimal organ melody enveloped by droning woodwinds and scratching strings provided by multi-instrumentalist and longtime collaborator, Charlotte Glasson. Finally, 'Why Keep Still?' moves back into familiar sonic territory with fingerpicked guitar accompanied by rolling piano notes. Pitchfork gave the album an 8.0 rating, stating, 'The lucidity and beauty of this music feels hard-won, something to revere and cherish.' Inspired by the '60s Takoma school of American Primitive guitar, minimalist composers and European classical music, James Blackshaw b. 1981 has been highly regarded for his works for solo acoustic guitar since his debut album in 2003, employing fingerpicking techniques to create drones, overtones and repeating patterns, alongside a strong inclination for melody, to create instrumental music that is both intelligent, hypnotic and emotional. James Blackshaw has released eleven solo studio albums, two EPs, two live recordings and appeared on numerous compilations, receiving praise and earning places on Best of Year lists from many online and printed publications. Since its release, the album has received significant critical acclaim, with reviews in Uncut, Mojo, Stereogum, Aquarium Drunkard, Dusted, and Brainwashed."

$18.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 Alice is a vocal harmony trio made up of three persons, joined by a cheap synth and limited virtuosity. Together, they craft a kind of future folklore that's part funny, part apocalyptic -- half-soft, half-harsh, half-sad, half-simple, half-complex, half-controlled, half-Yvonne Harder, half-Sarah André, half-Lisa Harder. Since their last album L'Oiseau Magnifique (BJR 091CD), Alice have spent time on the road -- in cars, in trains, out in the open. Accustomed to writing outdoors, they slowly stitched together a collection of new songs. After two years of performing in clubs, bars, stairwells, carpentry workshops, activist agricultural fairs and roadside shoulders, they took their Oiseau Magnifique just about everywhere. It felt like time to sew these new pieces together -- a quilt of humor and soft words, something we could really use in these half-sweet, half-fascist times. Les Châteaux Faibles is the name of one of their latest songs, and naturally, the title of their new album. It captures the group's ethos perfectly -- a search for refuge in fragility, in a weakness that's better when shared. A collective sensitivity to bring us closer, stronger -- united in Châteaux Faibles.

$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 "Bitterviper is the brand-new quartet of Nikos Veliotis (cello), Taku Unami (synthesizer), Sarah Hennies (percussion), and David Grubbs (guitar, piano), four individuals who separately are responsible for some of the most striking and wildly idiosyncratic music of the past couple of decades -- not to mention the duo collaborations between Grubbs and Unami (the albums Comet Meta and Failed Celestial Creatures) and Veliotis and Grubbs (The Harmless Dust). Athens-based Nikos Veliotis set Bitterviper into motion with four overdubbed pieces of dense psychoacoustic marvels on the cello; Grubbs responded with characteristically subtle tracery on piano, guitar, and lap steel; Unami weighed in electronically from Tokyo to mysteriously thicken both the plot and the low end; and Hennies applied her compositional gifts to structure the whole thing with an Occam's Razor approach to percussion. But once you drop the needle on Bitterviper, its origin story becomes ancient history; you're suddenly in the presence of an ensemble that sounds like no other and for whom there are no false steps. It's all fair game when this is how you choose to play; Bitterviper is a salvo of confidence and conviction, and this is only the beginning. David Grubbs is Distinguished Professor of Music at Brooklyn College and The Graduate Center, CUNY. He was a member of Gastr del Sol, Bastro, and Squirrel Bait, and has performed with Tony Conrad, Pauline Oliveros, Luc Ferrari, Will Oldham, Loren Connors, Jan St. Werner, The Red Krayola, and many others. Sarah Hennies is a composer and percussionist based in upstate New York whose work is concerned with a variety of musical, sociopolitical, and psychological issues including queer and trans identity, psychoacoustics, and the social and neurological conditions underlying creative thought. She is currently a Visiting Assistant Professor of Music at Bard College. Taku Unami's work is influenced by science fiction, supernatural horror and weird fiction. He's the composer of film scores for directors including Isao Okishima and Takeshi Furusawa, was half (with Toshiya Tsunoda) of the group Wovenland, is one-third of the group Hontatedori, and has collaborated with, among others, Annette Krebs, Radu Malfatti, Jean-Luc Guionnet, Jarrod Fowler, and Graham Lambkin. Nikos Veliotis founded Mohammad with ILIOS and Coti K. (renamed MMMD in 2015). In the 1990s he developed an experimental practice, exploring image and sound, mainly through the cello; he also performed in numerous groups, most notably CRANC (with Angharad and Rhodri Davies) and Looper (with Ingar Zach and Martin Küchen)."

PSYCHIC TV	A Prayer For Derek Jarman	CD	COLD SPRING RECORDS	CSR 351CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 Unavailable for almost 30 years in its own right, this collection from the Cold Spring archive has been repackaged and remastered with new art. This classic album exists as a document of the soundtrack work Psychic TV created for the many films and videos of Derek Jarman. Another demonstration of why Psychic TV were one of the most important groups in the world. The titular track, "Prayer For Derek," is intended as an invocationary prayer, based on Tibetan rituals; a collage of sounds including field recordings of the lulling waves running aground on the shingle beach opposite Jarman's Prospect Cottage in Dungeness, Kent alongside bird song, crying babies, and massed ritualized chants to aid the late film director in his after-life journeys. Other tracks feature elongated drones, washes of dissonance, melancholic guitar chime, evocative piano scoring, Burroughs cut-ups, gothic chants, and familiar snarling gods. CD is featured in matt digipak with eight-page fold-out booklet, with detailed liner notes by Genesis P-Orridge (1997); Astorical anecdotes and background facts for completeness.

$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 "Like a sweet spring breeze after a long, cruel winter, Cory Hanson's blowing through town again. And like the wind, I Love People comes from parts unknown. Followers of Cory's twin arcs as solo singer and Wand member will be intrigued to learn that the lineup here is the same band that recorded 2024's Vertigo. That's Robbie Cody co-producing behind the desk, Evan Backer playing bass and arranging strings and horns, Evan Burrows on drums and percussion and Cory on piano, guitars and voices and songs. I Love People bugs out to the wtf-ness on the edge of town spied now and again on Cory's previous solos, Pale Horse Rider and Western Cum. Here though, the simmering shades of Rider's quiet horror and the bursts of Cum's cartoonish, gun-slinger bravado have given way to an ever-more impartial view of life on the ground, tinted in gossamer sepia and other nostalgic tones. Written over the past several annums, Cory's songs ensnare the '70s singer-songwriter in a feedback loop, drawing additional inspiration from the indelible everyman melodies of the American Songbook. With gilded threads and emboldened needling, I Love People's songs are rendered with immediacy and a deep-pile Hollywood production sound that radiates affluence and comfort, even in the darkest and coldest nights way out beyond the range of any signal. Placed and displaced among gorgeously outfitted musical arrangements, I Love People's people are kin to their threadbare folk forbears. Song by song, their occupations, social positions and dispositions unravel like silk into the wind. While they perform, Cory loiters backstage, gently pulling at the curtain to reveal silly details hidden in plain sight inside America's broken heart. It doesn't come as a surprise, and it's not strictly funny, either: a giddy mash of the two, the delirium that comes from finding what you think is 'true' is someone else's 'false.' When maps won't help you find out where you are anymore, you're as normal and horrible as the next person, playing out your days in a place of constant activity with your parallax view progressing invisibly into a limbo beyond the horizon. That's your freedom for you, and it might be more sad, more terrifying -- if it weren't so much fun! Even though their subject won't stop squirming, Cory and his merry men have constructed a timeless still life with I Love People, simply by living for the fun and love of it all."

ORTOLANI, RIZ	Porca Vacca	CD	BEAT	DDJ 064CD
$22.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 Beat Records presents for the first time on CD the OST by Riz Ortolani for the dramatic comedy Porca Vacca, directed in 1982 by Pasquale Festa Campanile. At the time of the film's release, nothing came of this beautiful soundtrack by Riz Ortolani. Thanks to the stereo master tapes of the original sessions, it was possible to release the complete score for the first time. Riz Ortolani composed and conducted an OST introduced by a rhythmic comic theme which is reprised in a slow version with accordion. After a cheerful introduction, the orchestra describes the historical period of World War I, and the military-flavored theme for trumpet and strings and is reprised by the harmonica. The harmonica, guitar, piano and rhythm section perform a folk-flavored motif perfect for the sad atmosphere of those distant days then reprised for harmonica alone. Dissonant passages for strings create a tense and macabre atmosphere, (and the harsh conditions of the war are underlined by dramatic passages with a little space dedicated for a love theme). As a special surprise for fans of the legendary Renato Pozzetto, Beat also includes the popular songs of the period in which the story is set, performed by Pozzetto and choir as they are heard in the film, all arranged and conducted by M°Ortolani. With a duration of 54:59, this CD can finally be added to your collection of works by the great composer.

UMILIANI, PIERO	Il Pontee Dell'Asia	LP	HOLY BASIL RECORDS	HBR 028LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 "A captivating deep cut from the golden age of Italian library music, Il Ponte Dell'Asia stands as one of Piero Umiliani's most evocative and exotic soundscapes. Originally released in 1967 as a private pressing for Italian the TV documentary by Corrado Sofia, this elusive gem blends Far Eastern motifs with the elegance of mid-century European jazz and the textured experimentation that defines Umiliani's best work. On Il Ponte Dell'Asia, Umiliani constructs a cinematic bridge between continents, layering modal melodies, sinuous flutes, shimmering vibraphones, and richly orchestrated strings over hypnotic rhythms and subtly psychedelic touches. The result is a masterful fusion of East-meets-West that channels both travelogue fantasy and avant-garde sophistication -- a rare synthesis of traditional instrumentation and modernist sensibility. Exported from the original tapes, and pressed on high-quality vinyl with faithfully restored artwork, this reissue offers a long-overdue return to one of Umiliani's most immersive sonic journeys, an essential for fans of Italian library music, film scores, and genre-defying jazz. Rediscover a lost jewel from the vault of one of Italy's most visionary composers -- where bamboo forests, smoky clubs, and dreamlike landscapes converge in sound."

$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 Ricardo Tobar returns to MUSAR with Knitting -- a four-track EP blending dancefloor intimacy with raw, analog spirit. A two original cuts from the Chilean producer are joined by standout remixes from synth sorcerer Pye Corner Audio and cosmic rave queen Nightwave. The EP opens with "Los Siblings," a distilled snapshot of Tobar's current sound: intricate arrangements, ethereal melodies, heavyweight bassline and a vintage edge shaped for the club. "I'm embracing the dancefloor," he says. "This is me doing tunes I would like to dance to." On the flip, "Knitting" unravels from a simple arpeggio into lysergic "Stereolab"-techno chaos -- alive, imperfect, and deeply personal. "It sounds like it wants to eat itself," Tobar reflects. Layers on layers of psychedelia and cosmic melody turn this into a trippy journey track like no one else does. Architect of foggy club rituals, Pye Corner Audio transforms "Knitting" into an eerie, trancetinged club weapon, while Nightwave turns "Knitting" into a high-gloss, dreamy club stormer.

DON'T WORRY	Idealism	LP	SPECIALIST SUBJECT	SPS 114LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 Idealism is an album about navigating life in the 2020s as millennial adults, and all the difficulties and uncertainties that come with that -- knowing you'll probably never be able to afford to buy a house, and that a simple grocery shop costs way more than ever before. But it's also about all the joys and positives of modern life too -- being kind to yourself, being kind to other people, and overcoming difficulties. The band tries to capture that dichotomy on this album, hence the title Idealism, which the dictionary says is "the unrealistic belief in or pursuit of perfection." The album has been a long time in the making, diligently demoed before tracking across studios in London and Essex. Taking a more pop production approach, layering parts and additional keyboards, synthesizers and percussion to add a richer and fuller sound to their traditional indie rock set up. Nostalgia has always been a running theme for Don't Worry, as displayed on 2022's Remorseless Swing and their 2018 debut album Who Cares Anyway?. There's a decent dose of it on this new album still, including on the cover, with a photograph taken in their home of Harlow New Town in 2001 by Jim Brown. And in their musical influences, Pavement, Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, The Streets, Fleetwood Mac, UK Grime, and The GTA Vice City Soundtrack (alongside contemporary influences such as Fontaines D.C., MJ Lenderman, Andy Shauf). But perhaps for the first time on this album, they push through the comfort of the past, embrace the present and look forward to the future with hope.

CLAY KIN	Vevey	LP	SQUAMA	SQM 034LP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 Swiss percussionist Julian Sartorius and UK electronic artist Dan Nicholls team up as Clay Kin, presenting their debut record on Squama. They had never planned to make an album, yet through pure improvisation and spontaneity, Clay Kin have crafted Vevey. An album of seven tracks, distilled from over seven hours of improvised percussion and electronics. Recorded mostly outdoors -- on pedalo boats, up mountains and deep in forests near the namesake Swiss town of Vevey, it is imbued with the soft fascination of birdsong, rushing water and chattering children. Vevey resists genre. As musicians, Sartorius and Nicholls bridge the divide between acoustic and electronic soundscapes. Sartorius' raw, organic percussion interweaves with Nicholls' keyboard-triggered samples and harmonic landscapes, creating a dialogue where the lines between rhythm, melody and noise dissolve. Clay Kin identify their outfit as an audio-visual collective, with visual artist Lou Zon (Louise Boer) rounding out the group, creating videos to accompany both the recorded music and the live experience.

MANSLAUGHTER 777	God's World	LP	THRILL JOCKEY	THRILL 555LP
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 "Manslaughter 777 are powerhouses of forward-thinking rhythmic music and production. The duo, composed of drummers/programmers Lee Buford (The Body, Sightless Pit, Dead Times, Everyone Asked About You) and Zac Jones (MSC, Nothing, Braveyoung), combine their prowess as percussionists and producers into beat-centric music that delights in turning unexpected sounds into razor sharp rhythms. Buford and Jones, along with engineer/producer Seth Manchester of Machines with Magnets (The Body, Model Actriz, Liturgy), have collaborated for nearly two decades, consistently shattering genre boundaries and redefining the role of the studio in the process. God's World uses innovative sound sampling to create expansive sonics driven by complex rhythms. The resulting album's infectious grooves are both celebratory and irreverent. The duo deftly interweave their own playing into field recordings and synthesized drums. The taut pieces blur the boundaries between acoustic and electronic instruments, samples and performances. 'It's kind of strange to be making music like this using acoustic sounds,' Jones continues, 'but I think that adds a special element to it, sampling our own playing and being very meticulous about the sounds we get out of those.' 'Power in the Blood' turns a ping-ponging hip hop beat into a throbbing House thump. 'Silk Barricade's' dub-gone-jungle drop is met with an industrial breakdown where 'Pulling A Truck Up A Hill''s Afro-Latin groove leaves more room to breathe. Overblown 808s and steady tambourine speckle the slow-mo 'Child Of (featuring MSC)' and a sine-wave bass lilts across the live kit on 'Luv.' On God's World, kaleidoscopic revelations reveal a rhythmic approach unbound by expectations. Buford and Jones are willing to completely shift gears within one short piece or to allow individual percussive elements to subtly transform the landscape of the beat. Manslaughter 777 have their own unique cadence, built on a deep affection for beat music, but untethered by any adherence to one specific style or set of rules. The duo imbue their music with a sinewy pulse and sense of dynamic care that lends a humanity to their unyielding arrangements. God's World is an album whose electrifying turns and gripping compounds, in pursuit of lush, incendiary grooves, is a thrilling and joyous expressive delight." "True electronic body music -- the detail and precision of the beats here is key, a real care and attention to the strafed snares and rippling breakbeaks that reward headphone immersion." --The Wire "drum sounds are gloriously blown out, scorched, fried to bits, but you can tell: they're blown out, scorched, and fried to bits with love. The way this thing knocks, you just know the guy behind the boards was feeling it." --The Quietus

BODY, THE	All The Waters Of The Earth Turn To Blood	2LP	THRILL JOCKEY	THRILL 638LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 "Originally released in 2010, The Body's All The Waters Of The Earth Turn To Blood is a watershed album that changed the landscape of heavy music. Buoyed by the eclectic cast of musicians, from the undeniably potent collaboration with The Assembly of Light Choir as led by now longtime The Body collaborator Chrissy Wolpert, to guest contributors that include members of Dead Times, Fang Island, Lichens (aka Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe), Human Beast, and many more. The album's singularly bleak, yet beautiful atmosphere not only set the tone for The Body's career in breaking the mold, but set a new standard for what extreme music could do. All The Waters rightfully broke The Body, the duo of Lee Buford and Chip King, out from the underground and was met with acclaim from across a wide spectrum. Pitchfork's Grayson Haver Currin said of the record: 'The rare album that feels truly dangerous. As it crushes and collides doom metal, harsh noise, industrial rock, and gospel singing into one mean mess, it seems to obey no rules but its own. The result is a singular, explosive masterpiece.' NPR's Lars Gotrich put it in his 2010 Top 10 list, calling it 'the most surreal doom-metal record of 2010' and The Quietus called it the year's 'best record on the fringes of metal.' Following the album's release and subsequent tours, which sometimes included the entire Assembly of Light Choir, The Body established themselves as a permanent fixture of forward-thinking artists and a reliably overwhelming force, both on record and in live settings. All The Waters also helped spark the duo's penchant for collaboration, which they then solidified across dozens of releases, from collaborations with Braveyoung to BIG\|BRAVE, Thou, Full of Hell, Uniform, and beyond. The new reissue for All The Waters is packaged as a double LP, including a whole new Side D, which is composed of bonus material never before pressed to vinyl. First edition pressings of the double vinyl reissue will be a deluxe poster edition." "As the record continues, the beating just doesn't stop. The choral voices, returning here and there, are the only ray of hope: the Body's own singing amounts to weedy, apocalyptic howls, barely clearing the din of their processional stomps. It's an experience, this record, written in big riffs and celestial choirs and digital static." --The New York Times

CHEO Y LOS CONSENTIDOS DE LA CASA	Live At Nublu, NYC	LP	TOCUYO	TOC 1914LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 Cheo y Los Consentidos de la Casa is a dynamic, funk-infused Latin music project led by Cheo Pardo (of Los Amigos Invisibles). Serving as the house band for a bi-weekly dance night at NYC's Nublu, the group blends salsa, boogaloo, cha-cha-cha, and bolero with psychedelic effects and deep grooves. Their debut live album captures this high-energy fusion, reimagining Latin classics with a modern, electrifying twist that honors tradition while pushing boundaries. This isn't your abuela's salsa night -- this is Cheo Y Los Consentidos De La Casa. Funk-forward. Rhythm-obsessed. 100% dance floor approved. Born from a love of vintage Latin soul and the raw energy of NYC's dance floors, Cheo assembled an all-star crew of the city's hottest Latin players all filtered through wah-wah pedals, space echoes, fuzzy guitar solos, and a deep, unshakable groove. The result? A psychedelic, percussive party that's equal parts tradition and funked-out future. Recorded live at Nublu this album captures the heat, sweat, and sabor of their wildest nights -- reimagining classics from Joe Cuba, Willie Colón, Eddie Palmieri, Mon Rivera, and more. Each track is a tribute and a reinvention, breathing new life into the old- school with a cosmic twist, and opening the doors for a whole new generation to feel that sabrosura in their bones. Featuring Felipe Fournier, Chico Raro, and José Benjamín.

LEON, NICK	A Tropical Entropy	LP	TRA TRA TRAX	TRALP 002LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 It's time. Miami's son, Nick León, presents his highly anticipated album A Tropical Entropy en su casa, TraTraTrax. After two #1 tracks of the year, "Xtasis" and "Bikini," Nick expands his "Arquitectronica" sonic universe to an exploration of decay, disillusionment, and psychedelia. Inspired by Joan Didion's novel Miami and his unique energy, as well as altered states of consciousness -- both chemically induced and sleep-deprived -- the album reflects León's personal experience of witnessing life and love fall apart against the backdrop of a crumbling society. The album is a manifesto from start to finish, featuring stellar collaborations with Ela Minus, Casey MQ, Erika de Casier, Xander Amahd, Jonny from Space, Esty & Mediopicky, and Lavurn. You'll find hazy tracks for the body and the mind; tracks to dedicate and feel deeply; tracks for heartbreak and tracks with the promise of future love. You will find themes of memory, sleep deprivation, decaying wildlife, and the suburban still life of Florida. A Tropical Entropy captures the haunting feeling of watching life unfold like a broken video recording -- frozen in the orange hue of a never -- ending sunset, signaling the final days of an apocalypse. In the meantime, León and TraTra will continue to establish their influence on the global circuit and their mission to keep releasing edgy music that connects la mente con el qlo.

BURGON, SHELLEY	The In Between	2LP	THIN WRIST	TW U-LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 The In Between is the debut solo album by harpist, composer, and sound artist Shelley Burgon. Burgon is one of the most accomplished and sought-after performers and collaborators in the world of avant-garde and new music. Her interpretations of works by composers such as Pauline Oliveros, John Cage, Morton Subotnick, and Cornelius Cardew, as well as her collaborations with artists as diverse as Bjork, Anthony Braxton, and Fred Frith have shown her to be an artist with an extraordinary ability to get to the core of the music, surpassing the limitations of technical mastery with a transcendent sense of nuance and feel. Over the years, Burgon's own compositions, including works for groups such as the Merce Cunningham Dance Company and The Ne(x)tworks ensemble featuring Joan LaBarbara, have demonstrated these intangible qualities with even greater clarity and shown her to be an artist with a deeply personal, spiritual vision. The In Between is an immersive, meditative work in which Burgon's subtle arrangement of space and seemingly simple melodic lines draws the listener into a deep awareness of the piece itself as well as the wider, vibrant sound world that we all inhabit. It was composed and performed by Burgon alone on her acoustic concert harp without amplification or effects and recorded live, in one take, as an early summer day gave way to dusk in the mountains overlooking the Ojai Valley in California. The continuous 56-minute piece unfolds as the sounds of songbirds and airplanes fade with the setting sun; the chirps of crickets and frogs slowly emerge; the wood of the auditorium roof crackles as it cools with the evening air. The music is spacious, Burgon plays each note with a focus that is both tense and gentle, often allowing each to fully resonate and float before evaporating into the sounds of the surrounding chaparral and woodlands. At other moments, cascades of notes come into being, flowing with a ringing clarity and dissolving as quickly as they emerge from the mountain air. As motifs and figures repeat and evolve, Burgon's work becomes one of memory and foresight, a Feldman-esque unfurling realized as a sort of field recording in which the listener is both present and in between. Cut at 45RPM and pressed to HQ180gram vinyl at RTI. Presented in heavy tip-on gatefold double vinyl. with spot finishes and two full color printed inner sleeves with notes by the artist.

ME LOST ME	This Material Moment	CD	UPSET THE RHYTHM	UTR 173CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 Follow up to the critically acclaimed 2023 album RPG. Me Lost Me -- the project of Newcastle-based artist Jayne Dent -- delights in experimenting with songwriting, creating a beguiling mix of soaring vocals and atmospheric electronics that playfully push the boundaries of genre. On Me Lost Me's fourth full-length, This Material Moment, she has created an "emotionally raw" album, her most honest and vulnerable yet. Concerned with physicality, interpretations, and, yes, materiality, This Material Moment is an album akin to rummaging through a box of long-forgotten trinkets. With each song, Me Lost Me extracts something from the box and asks listeners to consider it from every angle. With the release of This Material Moment, Me Lost Me puts into practice the automatic writing techniques she developed during a workshop with Julia Holter, and in the process has spun her music in different directions that draws on poetry, psalms and using mesostic poems and phonetic translations to generate words. Whilst Jayne Dent's music as Me Lost Me has previously presented time stretching back and forwards in opposition, on This Material Moment she does away with linearity altogether, evoking rather than narrating, and presenting feelings, happenings and moods with no clear beginning or end point. Instead, each track on This Material Moment exists entirely in media res, adjacent to past and future, and instead sprawling across the endless now. This Material Moment was written and arranged solo, but played with a core band of John Pope on electric/double bass, Faye MacCalman on clarinet, and now with the addition of Ewan Mackenzie (Dextro/Pigs x7) on drums -- bringing in live drums and electric bass for the first time. The album was recorded by Sam Grant at Blank Studios in Newcastle, who also worked on RPG.

$16.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 7/25/2025 Wojtek Mazolewski Quintet (WMQ) -- one of the most charismatic groups on the European jazz scene -- returns with Live Spirit I, a new double album recorded at the iconic Witold Lutosławski Polish Radio Concert Studio in Warsaw. The release features four brand-new compositions alongside electrifying new takes on WMQ classics, including a stunning 20-minute version of "Polka," the title track from their best-selling record. This is WMQ at its core: deeply rooted in Polish jazz tradition, elevated by the spiritual depth and uninhibited virtuosity of improvisation, and shaped by a distinctly modern sensibility and urban energy. Live Spirit I is not just a celebration of the group's unmistakable sound -- it's a powerful reflection of their ongoing evolution. The album was recorded during the international tour for their critically acclaimed studio release Beautiful People (WMQ 009LP). Alongside the Warsaw concert, the quintet performed dozens of shows worldwide -- selling out Londons Jazz Cafe and earning ovations in Chile, Argentina, Colombia, and Mexico. As both a virtuoso bassist and composer, Mazolewski seamlessly blends traditional jazz with contemporary influences, creating a sound that is both hypnotic and emotionally charged. His 2014 album Polka was named one of the five best jazz records of the year by DownBeat, and earned high praise from Kind of Jazz in the UK. The follow-up, When Angels Fall -- featuring reimaginings of Krzysztof Komeda's compositions -- was also widely acclaimed by outlets like DownBeat and London Jazz News. His latest studio project Beautiful People showcases a bold immersion in spiritual jazz traditions, while remaining deeply rooted in Slavic culture and sharply attuned to the pulse of the present. Live Spirit I captures WMQ in peak form: a tightly unified collective that shifts effortlessly from meditative focus to ecstatic improvisational flights, powered by the energy of a live audience. Mazolewski's compositions flourish in this setting, revealing a potent mix of vitality and groove -- qualities that have kept jazz relevant across generations and continue to attract new listeners.

Live Spirit I captures WMQ in peak form: a tightly unified collective that shifts effortlessly from meditative focus to ecstatic improvisational flights, powered by the energy of a live audience. Mazolewski's compositions flourish in this setting, revealing a potent mix of vitality and groove -- qualities that have kept jazz relevant across generations and continue to attract new listeners.

KUNTARI	Mutu Beton	LP	99CHANTS	99CHANTS 016LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 Indonesian duo Kuntari make music that's so distinctive, they had to devise their own genre: primal-core. On Mutu Beton, multiinstrumentalist Tesla Manaf and percussionist Rio Abror dialog with both history and their tropical surroundings in Bandung, West Java's mountainous capital. Using the cornet and hulusi, a free reed instrument made from a bottle gourd and bamboo pipes, Manaf echoes the bellows of local elephants, orangutans and rhinos, grazing Abror's ancestral Indonesian rhythms with potent overdriven riffs and evocative microtonal chimes. It's music that's profoundly atmospheric and simultaneously raw, recorded live to fully encapsulate the dynamic and deeply human interaction between the two seasoned players. There are elements of sludge metal, noise and post-hardcore, references to traditional folk music and jazz, and gestures towards sound art, 20th century minimalism and dark ambient, but what Kuntari do is completely idiosyncratic -- it's hardly surprising it needed a similarly unique categorization. Manaf started Kuntari as a solo project, debuting in 2020 with Black Shirt Attracts More Feather and animating his nimble instrumental improvisations with bold electronic processes and booming synthetic drums. And by the time he recorded 2022's acclaimed Last Boy Picked, his approach had evolved significantly; prioritizing organic sounds, he played prepared cornet and piano, bringing in additional percussionists to help devise a ritualistic rhythm section. Abror was one of those performers, and ended up sticking around, playing on 2023's furious LARYNX/STRIDULA, the stylistic precursor for Mutu Beton. At this stage, the duo have racked up a litany of accolades and collaborated with a spectrum of like-minded artists, from noise deity Keiji Haino to fellow Indonesian free-thinker Rully Shabara, who's best known for his work with Senyawa and avant-garde supergroup Osmium. Mutu Beton plays like a lap of honor, showcasing their most kinetic and most feral recordings to date. Kuntari surpass their own high standards, folding history and geography in on itself and suggesting a trailblazing Indonesian cultural movement that's not restricted by highbrow Western conventions. It's not just automation and technology that drives progression, it's interaction and observation. And there's nothing more primal, or revolutionary, than that.

WILLIAMSON II, SONNY BOY	Do It If You Wanta: The Best Trumpet & Checker A-sides 1951-62	LP	ACROBAT	ACRSLP 1686LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 "There are perhaps few characters in the history of popular music who were as mysterious, as they were brazen than Aleck Ford, AKA Sonny Boy Williamson II. The true story of Sonny Boy Williamson II remains shrouded in mystery and uncertainty, and it seems this was Ford's intention, but to what ends, nobody can say. One thing is certain though -- he was one of the all-time greats of the harmonica, a bone fide bluesman, talented and charismatic in equal measure. His influence cannot be overstated. The first incarnation of the band that would become the Rolling Stones was named after him: Little Boy Blue and the Blue Boys; B.B King described him as 'the King of the harmonica;' and maybe there would have been no Howlin' Wolf, or Elmore James without Williamson's mentorship and support. The British Blues explosion of the late 1960s certainly owed much to Williamson and his compatriots. This carefully curated collection of this colorful and charismatic performer's work showcases just why he was one of the true legends of blues music. Interestingly, he was inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame in 1980, the same year as Sonny Boy Williamson I. It seems fitting that even in death and in honors they were inextricably linked. This collection hones in on his work that took the world by storm during his tenure with Trumpet and Checker in the 1950's and early '60s from his iconic 'Eyesight For The Blind' through to 'One Way Out.' It is a true celebration of one of the most mysterious characters in music."

HOOKER, JOHN LEE	Boogie Chillen': The Early Years 1948-62	LP	ACROBAT	ACRSLP 1689LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 "John Lee Hooker, known as 'The King of the Boogie' and 'the Boogie Man,' was a true blues icon. Quality rather than quantity is the key to Hooker's singular success. He did not have a huge number of hits in the R&B chart, but those that did make a major impact would provide some of the key musical architecture for future blues and rock artists. When he came to prominence in the late '40s, he was playing blues in a way that was regarded as somewhat spare, his dark repetitive vocals supported only by his amplified guitar and his stamping foot. His was no overnight stardom. Having paid his dues over many years, once he started recording, he did so prolifically. This fine collection of his earlier songs demonstrates Hooker's blues virtuosity while at the same time establishing his work as a signpost to a deeper understanding of the British Blues explosion. It features a host of early hits including the iconic No. 1's 'Boogie Chillen'' and 'I'm In The Mood,' alongside 'Hoogie Boogie,' 'Hobo Blues,' 'Crawlin' King Snake,' 'Dimples,' 'No Shoes,' and, naturally, the timeless 'Boom Boom.'"

HELDON	Allez-Teia (Heldon II) (50th Anniversary Edition)	LP	BUREAU B	BB 281LTD-LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 Limited anniversary edition: hand numbered, limited edition white vinyl, 500 copies available! Sophomore album from the French space rock electro combo Heldon. Here, mastermind Richard Pinhas has formed a duo with Georges Grunblatt. The music: an interplay of feather-light acoustic guitars, Mellotron textures, fuzzy sounds and heavy, spherical synthesizers. Before making his own music in the early '70s, Richard Pinhas was a King Crimson fan. By now the British group has buzzed in Pinhas' mind for decades, but their greatest impact came early, from something he couldn't even identify immediately. When he first saw them play, Pinhas was struck by music played during intermission. That influence is clear on the second Heldon album, Allez-Teia, originally released in 1975 on Pinhas's own Disjuncta label. The opening song, a soaring mix of string-like electronics and smeared guitar, is called "In the Wake of King Fripp," a reference both to the guitarist and King Crimson's second album In the Wake of Poseidon. The meditative "Omar Diop Blondin," in which free tones float above a repetitive guitar figure, is dedicated to Fripp and Eno. Allez-Teia -- whose title is a nod to "aletheia," the ancient Greek term for philosophical truth -- is hardly a tribute album. The pieces Pinhas crafts with partner Georges Grunblatt -- both playing guitar, Mellotron, and ARP synths -- are beatific on the surface but infused with undercurrents of tension. Over four decades after he made Allez-Teia, Pinhas's admiration for King Crimson remains profound. He actually met Fripp in 1974, and the two still stay in touch.

HELDON	It's Always Rock 'n' Roll (Heldon III) (50th Anniversary Edition)	2LP	BUREAU B	BB 282LTD-LP
$38.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 Limited anniversary edition: hand numbered, limited edition light blue double vinyl, 500 copies available! Third album from the French spacerock electro combo masterminded by Richard Pinhas. Heldon's darkest work lays another stone in their sonic mosaic: synths, drones, fuzz and trippy improvisations. There's something wicked happening on Heldon's third album It's Always Rock and Roll. Richard Pinhas' essential attack of searing guitar and space-bound synthesizer didn't change radically after the first two Heldon albums, 1974's Electronique Guerilla and 1975's Allez-Teia. But there's dark energy coursing through this double album, a chilly aura that makes even the quietest pieces shiver with tension. The darkness of It's Always Rock and Roll is more about exploring what's hidden and overturning convention -- about diving beneath bright surfaces to find something more mysterious. If It's Always Rock and Roll stands up in Heldon's catalog, perhaps it's due to expansion -- both in the sense of big ideas and lengthy durations. Most tracks last over seven minutes, and two are side-covering epics. "I think the length of a track is part of the creation of the track," says Pinhas. "There are imperatives. You can do something very complex with a lot of events in four minutes, and then some other things need to be done very slowly. You have to do the length that it demands." Like the Heldon albums that precede it, It's Always Rock and Roll is undoubtedly Pinhas' baby. But its depth-probing sounds earned it a godfather, too.

BALLET MECANICO	Primera Secuencia	LP	BUH RECORDS	BR 186LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 Buh Records presents Primera Secuencia, the debut album by Ballet Mecánico, the project of Fernando Pinzás. After his time in the synth-punk band Varsovia, Pinzás embarks on a new phase as a solo artist and producer, exploring electronic styles from the 1980s like synthpop, Hi-NRG, Italo disco, and techno pop. The album blends synthesizers, programmed sequences, and pulsating basslines to create a nostalgic yet danceable soundscape. Set against the backdrop of the pandemic and social movements in Peru, each track tells a story, featuring guest vocalists from the Peruvian independent scene, including Susana Fátima (Gomas), Noelia Cabrera (Blue Velvet, Silveria), Kat Kathia, Luxsie, Luminiscencia, Anabhell (Las Ratapunks), Laura Rosales (Solenoide), and Elva Cío (Specto Caligo). Singles "No Cederé" and "Testamento" define the project's dark and ethereal pop aesthetic. "No Cederé," featuring Susana Fátima, critiques societal notions of success over an Italo disco and Hi-NRG beat. The track includes a remix by Italoconnection, the duo of Fred Ventura and Paolo Gozzetti, who take it into a hypnotic, spacey realm. "Testamento," with Luminiscencia, reflects on the emotional weight of the pandemic, blending synthpop and ethereal pop. Other standout tracks include "La ciudad de los incendios," a dystopian vision of Lima with dark disco rhythms, and "Como la última vez," a synthpop-driven, melancholic song featuring Noelia Cabrera. Produced by Pinzás with Antonio Ballester, Omán Morí, Rafael Benavides, and Juancho Esquivel, the album was mastered by José Marcos Aguilar Villanueva (Antinori) and features artwork by Gonzalo de Montreuil.

PACHA WAKAY MUNAN	El Tiempo Quiere Cantar	LP	BUH RECORDS	BR 189LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 Buh Records presents El tiempo quiere cantar ("Time Wants to Sing") the debut album by Pacha Wakay Munan, a duo formed by Peruvian musicians and researchers Dimitri Manga Chávez and Ricardo López Alcas. This album explores the sonic possibilities of pre-Hispanic instruments in a contemporary musical context. Through their performance, they explore their tonal possibilities, the interaction between their frequencies, and their ability to generate new dialogues. The work of Pacha Wakay Munan aligns with the tradition of sound explorers such as the Peruvians Arturo Ruiz del Pozo and Luis David Aguilar or the Colombians Yaki Kandru. The album's repertoire consists of pieces that explore diverse sonorities and musical concepts. "Pacha Wakay Munanqa" introduces the timbral variety of the instruments used. "El Taki Onkoy" draws inspiration from historical accounts and the meaning of its name ("Sick Song"), based on a Culina chant documented by Rodolfo Holzmann. It features vocals by the experienced singer Ximena Menéndez. "Mundo Posible" is a reinterpretation of an improvisation session with musicologist Chalena Vásquez Rodríguez, where the piano dialogues with ceramic antaras. Other pieces delve into the sonic construction of these instruments in relation to their cultural contexts. "Machu Tara" explores the concept of tara, a rough and vibrant sound quality found in certain Andean musical traditions. "Túpac Huaca" references the Huaca Aliaga in Lima, creating a sound palette where pututos, whistling vessels, and quenas converge. "Agua, Cuarzo y Viento" introduces quartz sikus and bowls tuned to different frequencies, evoking the interaction between natural elements and resonant vibrations. In the piece "Qinray Tema", Camilo Ángeles plays the metal transverse flute, creating a contrast with the pre-Hispanic ceramic flutes and pelican bone flutes. El tiempo quiere cantar is released by Buh Records in digital format and in a limited vinyl edition of 300 copies.

Coupled with the succinct Revolutionaries band and Isaacs quality songwriting, the deconstructed cuts, weave and flow like any good quality dub album should. with some of the track names giving more than a hint of the original song title such as 'Public Eyes,' which was one of the major hits off The Cool Ruler as John Public.

One of Gregory Isaacs's early hits, 'Black A Kill Black' is translated into 'Leaving' while 'Leggo Beast' using an updated old Studio One rhythm, 'Swing Easy,' probably refers to Trevor 'Leggo' Douglas who ran the Cash & Carry label with Isaacs.

VA	Volition Cuts Vol. 1	12"	EFFICIENT SPACE	EFFICIENT 035EP
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 Efficient Space honors trailblazing Australian imprint Volition Records with Volition Cuts Vol. 1. Evolving from Andrew Penhallow's time at GAP Records, which smuggled Cabaret Voltaire, The Fall and the Factory catalogue into the region, Volition shifted focus to homegrown talent over imported sounds. Echoing its precursor's blend of indie friction and electronic curiosity, the label wired itself into the pulse of club and rave culture, linking city scenes and amplifying them for the mainstream. With retina-scorching design, uncompromising packaging and top-tier remixes, Volition consistently bent the major label machine to its will. No Volition retrospective would be complete without Sisters Underground's intergenerational anthem "In the Neighbourhood." Ōtara teenagers Brenda Makamoeafi and Hassanah Iroegbu brought their Pasifika perspective to Proud (An Urban-Pacific Streetsoul Compilation), a commercial success that platformed NZ rap and R&B with a clarity that outshone its overseas counterparts. The quiet architect of Volition's sound, producer prodigy Robert Racic flipped the classic as a hip-house dub before his untimely passing in 1996. Its A-side companion comes from Brisbane synth-pop unit Boxcar, who signed to Volition after frontman Dave Smith handed a cassette to Tom Ellard of Severed Heads during a school newspaper interview. That unlikely handoff led to their 1990 debut Vertigo. Here, their ritual-laced, body-jacking industrial is retooled by Miami freestyle maverick Tony Garcia. Further cherry-picking from the VOLT vaults, Sexing The Cherry unleash a bleep-addled meltdown from Brisbane's Edwin Morrow and Cherryn Lomas. "This Is A Dream" was recorded exclusively for High (A Dance Compilation), the first all-Australian V/A to top the ARIA charts, propelling the local movement into national consciousness. Closing the sampler, Sydney's Single Gun Theory joined Volition as they moved from post-punk abstraction and electronic collage toward downtempo, sample-based mysticism. Their 1994 ambient-pop reverie "Fall" is reimagined by Stuart Crichton and Apollo 440's Norman Fisher-Jones as full-throttle Goa trance, a final surge that channels the label's relentless push into new terrain. Volition Cuts Vol. 1 is dedicated to the loving memory of Volition's visionary founder Andrew Penhallow, and key contributors Robert Racic and Edwin Morrow.

SOUTHERN FOLD, THE	5 (+2) Live From The Southern Fold	LP	JUKE JOINT 500	JJ 5018LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 The Southern Fold was formed in Kilkenny, Ireland in 2014 by singer/guitarist/songwriter Emlyn Holden. Incorporating elements of country, blues and gospel music into a folks/Roots sound, influences from sources as far and wide as Hank Williams and Nirvana can be found. Holden first picked up a guitar at age 10 when he heard Elvis Presley and was totally immersed in those old Sun recordings in his early teens. Moving on towards Roots rockers Creedence Clearwater Revival and into punk rock, he forged an eclectic backdrop of inspirations to draw from. Discovering alt country pioneers Uncle Tupelo and Wilco brought the country back into his songwriting and set him on the road to The Southern Fold. Initially starting out as a duo in the style of Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris, the band's first EP -- 2016's A True Ascension from the Wayward Path included five originals plus a cover of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night." It was a stripped-down folk-country affair coupled with deeply personal lyrics and extra instrumentation provided by piano, cello and electric guitar. A few years of heavy gigging followed, and by the time full length album Bible Fear's came along in 2019, the band had developed into a full five-piece which brought about a more folk-rock sound. Joining Holden in a new live lineup are ex- Blackbird & Crow guitarist Stephen Doohan, Mauritius native Madeline Leclezio on vocals, Canadian drummer Gregor Beresford, and ex-Midnight Union Band bassist Brian McGrath. This limited-edition vinyl release recorded live at Cleere's, Kilkenny (entitled 5+2 Live), makes an appearance through German record label JukeJoint500.

PERRIM, PAUL	Itara	LP	KEROXEN	KRXN 049LP
$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 Itara is the debut solo album by Paul Pèrrim -- guitarist, composer, and anthropologist -- featuring a set of guitar-driven compositions that blend hallucinatory acid folk, abstract blues, mutant Eastern jazz, surreal ambient, and free improvisation into a vivid and distinctive sonic tapestry. With a background in ethnomusicology and a degree in Music Education, Pèrrim's work bridges popular and experimental music. He contrasts the acoustic guitar's austerity with the expansive possibilities of the electric guitar, drawing from late '60s folk traditions, contemporary fingerstyle, sound collage, drone, psychedelia, and improvisation. A key figure in the Canary Islands' experimental scene, he released two albums in the 2010s under The Transistor Arkestra, a Catalan collective merging free jazz and psychedelia. As Transistor Eye, his solo project, he merges ana-log electronics with guitar, using vintage synths and effects. In 2022, Pèrrim gained wider recognition through his appearance on Manos Ocultas (Philatelia Records) and the international tribute Solstice: A Tribute to Steffen Basho-Junghans (Obsolete Recordings). That same year, he founded GUITARRACO, a contemporary guitar festival in Tarragona, where he has shared the stage with Joseba Irazoki, Buck Curran, and Raphael Roginski. Itara was recorded and produced by Pèrrim, and features liner notes by critic Bill Meyer, who writes: "While it's common to call music cinematic these days, Pèrrim goes split-screen. One might say he composes econo, jamming scenes and sounds to psychedelic effect. But economy does not equate with poverty. Pèrrim draws upon a rich bank of musical notions, all of which he makes his own through the alchemy of recombination and transmutation."

TRAIDORES	Radio Babilonia	LP	LITTLE BUTTERFLY RECORDS	LBR 058LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 Butterfly Records presents a vinyl reissue of Radio Babilonia, the fourth electrifying studio album by Uruguayan band Traidores. The album was originally released on CD and cassette in 1995 and it stands as one of the most representative works of their career. In Radio Babilonia voices of Juan Casanova and Víctor Nattero converge into a symphony of intense emotions and profound reflections. Each note resonates with their musical legacy, rising as a testament to the reality that surrounded them, where pain and beauty intertwine in a powerful auditory experience. With a style that defies convention, their lyrics transport listeners to a world of poetic chronicles, inviting them to explore the catastrophes of the present and future through their vibrant and critical lens. This album from 1995 is a masterpiece for those who seek an authentic and moving sound -- a sonic journey that reflects its time and makes a bold statement. Songs like "Máquina" and "Crónica del Sur" explore inner turmoil and fracture realities, wrapped in melodic brilliance and sharp arrangements. Nattero's guitar work shines, especially in tracks like "Ella sabe bien" and "Pasajero de un tren," where a sense of déjà vu echoes through the lyrics. Side A closes with the haunting waltz "Como una plegaria," evoking blood-stained devotion. Side B deepens the album's mystique, offering lucid hope through punk anthems like "Enemigo del mundo" and "Fragmentos de mí." It culminates in the defiant "Canción rebelde." Traidores channel poetic rage into a powerful, redemptive soundtrack for a disenchanted era.

$27.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 "Several years in the making, Lion can now finally deliver on its promise of another Groove Club volume dedicated to the deep and moving (and grooving) compositions of Sinn Sisamouth, sung by the Emperor of Khmer music himself, alone or duetting with the other legendary singer of those halcyon days in Cambodian music: Ros Sereysothea, the 'Queen with the Golden Voice.' Groove Club Vol. 5 also includes a 16-page booklet featuring an exclusive interview with Mrs. Khav Thong Nhot, widow of Sinn Sisamouth, and Sin Sethsochhata, artist and granddaughter of Sinn Sisamouth, revealing more about Sinn Sisamouth than has ever been known before now. Readers hear directly from his wife about their courtship, their life together as Sinn Sisamouth became famous -- and then what happened as the Khmer Rouge took control: the separation from her husband, and her own harrowing experiences trying to keep herself and their children alive. It's not easy reading, yet stands as an important contribution to a story which until now has only been partially told. Sinn Sisamouth's granddaughter, Sin Sethsochhata, a musical artist and also keeper of the family's legacy, speaks of her own experiences in both realms. Sinn Sisamouth is, without question, the most famous and beloved Cambodian singer and songwriter of all time. A brilliant singer and composer, 'the Emperor of Khmer music' has had a greater influence and has touched more hearts than any other singer in the country's history. Though he was tragically taken from this world, his soul, spirit, and emotions are echoed in the legacy of songs he bequeathed to the world, and for this reason, he is eternal. The fact that any of this music even exists today is nothing short of miraculous. Original vinyl is extremely rare -- and well-guarded! Lion has done its utmost to make the sound quality of the songs as good as can be without in any way treating or disrupting or limiting (or destroying) the frequency range of the tracks. This means that a few tracks might sound less than audiophile quality. But who cares! It's about the music. It's always about the music. And the stories. Mostly the music. Although this time, very much about the stories too. Official reissue -- and in most cases, first appearance of any kind -- of these insanely rare recordings since their initial release as singles."

GRAYDON + KLAUS JANEK, ANDY	A Book of Waves	CD	ROOM40	RM 4257CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/1/2025 A note from Andy and Klaus: "After playing together for years, our tide was turning. What began as a happy rhythm of show dates in Berlin, from cozy trios in Klaus' home studio to ten-piece ensembles at Ausland, was now ebbing away thanks to Andy's move to the US. Whenever an accustomed pattern shifts it can take time to readjust, to find the gravity that will pull to shape an orbit again. What had been working well between us remained on both our minds for a few years after: the tension between complimentary forms and reflexes -- from deep bass to airy hiss, from swift improvised gesture to slowly developing layer -- these still animated our imaginations. But they had been honed in live playing, a situation now vanishingly rare. Then Klaus simply suggested we work toward a record, in gradual steps, no pressure, by trading recordings and responding to them in turn. This would be a conversation in concrete sound objects as opposed to the intuitive communication and reciprocal flow of on-stage collaboration. A different listening, becoming a different sounding. Again we found seemingly opposing tendencies resonating to surprising effect in the long-distance, long-term recording and exchange process. A new productive tension was added to our process: between the excitatory becoming of live playing and the carving directly in fixed blocks of sound that felt more like writing than performing. We took our time, savored the eddies and deluges, gaps and jumps of building a work together asynchronously. Around the time we were working on the last track of this collection, Andy pored over Stefan Helreich's A Book of Waves, a brilliant exploration of the ocean wave in its many forms and meanings across science and cultures, from histories to technologies to ecologies. In both the title's turn of phrase and the depths it plumbed, we felt we had found an echo of our cyclical endeavor, circumnavigating an idea, a shadow of which we can finally share in the shape of this record."

Compiled by Rubin 'WILDMAN' Rose, it features, in addition to the established bands of that period -- Wild Youth (South Africa's first punk rock band, formed in 1978 and Rubin Rose's group), Leopard, Gay Marines (both among the very first bands of the scene) and Powerage (from Durban, on the scene since 1981) -- lesser-known names with almost non-existent discographies but certainly worthy of being brought to light today. Those selection gave a broader and clearer picture of what it meant to be a punk band in the apartheid years. Also featuring Ultra White Lovers, Dead Babies, Wild Justice, Private File, Rotors, Warspike, and Leopard.

Chaos, memory, and transformation -- Hirose's voices echo throughout the space, creating a fully immersive sonic experience. The pioneering experimental and abstract electronic piece with deep hints of ambient and IDM is beautifully represented by the original artwork by Koji Shiroshita and Mifuku gracing the double LP and double digipack CD sleeves.

$31.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 "Amish Records presents an expanded, gatefold 2LP version of P.G. Six's second album, The Well of Memory, originally released in 2004. This 2025 expanded edition has beautiful new artwork, reimagined by Meredyth Sparks and comes with a bonus LP entitled Lost and Live. The LP includes six previously unreleased songs from The Well of Memory sessions and a handful of live versions of songs from the album. Continuing many of the themes introduced on Parlor Tricks and Porch Favorites, PG Six's well-received first record, The Well Of Memory made further nods towards '60s folk artists like Bert Jansch, Pentangle, Incredible String Band, and John Fahey, while also fitting in with contemporary musicians like New York psych folk posterboy Devendra Banhardt, Anglo-folk traditionalist Alasdair Roberts, and West Coast psych guitarist Ben Chasny of Six Organs of Admittance. Pat's lyrics draw on narrative force, spinning mythology in abstract patterns that stretch moments of clarity between dreamlike sequences. His music, composed away from the bustle of the city in upstate New York, breathes as solemn spirituals."

PHEW, ERIKA KOBAYASHI, DIETER MOEBIUS	Radium Girls	CD	BUREAU B	BB 485CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 In the shadow of the nuclear accident in Fukushima in 2011, Japanese musician Phew, artist Erika Kobayashi, and German electronic music pioneer Dieter Moebius (Cluster, Harmonia) came together for an extraordinary project. Together, they developed the concept album Radium Girls 2011, which they released in 2012 under the project name Project UNDARK -- 114 years after the discovery of radium by Marie and Pierre Curie. The album is dedicated to the so-called Radium Girls, female factory workers in the United States during the 1920s who painted watch dials with radioactive luminous paint and suffered severe health consequences from radium poisoning. On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the label Bureau B is reissuing Radium Girls -- for the first time also on vinyl. The Radium Girls were female factory workers who unknowingly suffered radiation poisoning while painting watch dials with glow-in-the-dark paint at the United States Radium Factory in Orange, New Jersey, around 1917. A group of five affected women later took their employer to court, setting a legal precedent that granted workers the right to sue companies for illnesses caused by hazardous working conditions. Between 1917 and 1926, the U.S. Radium Corporation -- previously named the Radium Luminous Material Corporation -- specialized in extracting and refining radium from carnotite ore to manufacture glow-in-the-dark paint, marketed as "Undark." As a supplier for the military, the company produced radioluminescent watches and other instruments. The New Jersey factory employed over a hundred workers, primarily women, to apply the radium-based paint, unaware of the serious health dangers associated with it. In total, around 4,000 workers across the United States and Canada were hired to paint watch dials with radium. Many later suffered from severe health problems due to radiation exposure, though the exact number of fatalities remains uncertain.

SAPIO, LUCA	Black Waves	2LP	BLIND FAITH RECORDS	BFR 112LP
$53.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Introducing Black Waves, a cinematic soul journey rooted in social justice, love, and introspection. From the vibrant streets of Rome, Luca Sapio crafts an evocative musical landscape that echoes the soulful activism of Marvin Gaye's What's Going On, Curtis Mayfield's There's No Place Like America Today, and Eugene Mac Daniels' Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse. Infused with the timeless sounds of Italian vintage soundtracks -- Piero Piccioni, Ennio Morricone, and their cinematic grandeur -- this album is a powerful blend of social awareness and heartfelt emotion. Among the guests legitimizing the sound of the album are the legendary Dennis Coffey (Original Motown Funk Brother) Rob Harris (Jamiroquai) and the veteran Boston rapper Ed O.G. along with the same strings used by Ennio Morricone. Record mastered by grammy winner Mike Bozzi. Hailing from Roma, Italy, Luca Sapio is a celebrated singer-songwriter and record producer, known for his soulful contributions to the music industry. With a career spanning over a decade, in 2012, Luca released his debut solo album, Who Knows, which achieved notable success on the German and French charts and was recognized as the best independent record by SIAE, Italy's copyright collecting agency.

DJ DIE SOON	My Brothel The Wind	LP	DROWNED BY LOCALS	DBL 036LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 DJ Die Soon is the apocalyptic alter-ego Daisuke Imamura, whose performances of masked malice have been a fixture in the Berlin underground for the past decade. His latest record My Brothel The Wind takes inspiration from Sun Ra at his most grotesque, conjuring a distorted phantasmagoria with an eclectic crew of compatriots like Rully Shabara, Sara Persico, and longtime collaborator Kiki Hitomi. Film director Hiroo Tanaka's visual contributions in the album art, poster, and music video complete the album's narrative, telling a story not of villainy but of phantom caprice in a dying world. My Brothel The Wind shows DJ Die Soon as an alchemist of distortion, transmuting the club-forward beats of his 2020 debut Kappa Slap and the seething horrorscapes of DIEMAJIN, his 2022 collaboration with Tokyo vocalist MA. Imamura's obsession with noise stems from his upbringing in Tokyo, where he grew up hearing the deafening roar of trains every day. While most would content themselves with avoiding loudness, DJ Die Soon seeks to unpack its visceral potential. His subterranean productions form a monstrous gestalt with the eclectic contributions of his network of co-conspirators. "Unfinished" and "Directions" are pulsating chimeras that highlight animalistic vocalizations from Hitomi and Shabara; Italian MC Franco Franco's verses snake underneath the noisy onslaught. The tectonic textures of "Dandelion Crackers" are courtesy of multi-instrumentalist Laure Boer's handmade stone synth. Sara Persico's mangled vocables hang as fleshy reminders of human fragility on "SAQ4IME;" in the Hiroo Tanaka-directed music video, the track's sonic uncanniness is made cinematic, with an ambient dread that references Hiroshi Teshigahara's 1964 psychological thriller Woman in the Dunes. While Sun Ra's intergalactic Moog reached for the stars, DJ Die Soon plunges into the depths of hell.

EXTNDDNTWRK	Albus (Blue Vinyl)	LP	FOURTH DIMENSION	FD 160B-LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Blue vinyl version. While akin to his role in his main group with respect to primarily working with electronic sounds, samples and rhythms, EXTNDDNTWRK is a far more mannered affair whose approach is concerned with atmospherics, occasional tempered beats perfect for a late-night drive along a deserted motorway, near-ambient swerves into neo-minimalism, crisp melodies and big grooves swollen with the kinda moody sickness fever dreams are made of. Ultimately, there's a strong soundtrack-ish angle to EXTNDDNTWRK's instrumentals that almost command cinematic accompaniment, but what strikes Fourth Dimension the most since the last time Andrew graced listeners with a release (and there have been a few over the years since the label released several editions of Sleaford Mods' highly lauded Jolly Fucker 7") is the sheer maturity to each of the nine songs that constitute Albus. Together, they illustrate an artist clearly at the top of his game in a home studio setting as much as when he's working up a sweat on stage and inadvertently proving he's got more energy than most of those half his age. Over these nine cuts, EXTNDDNTWRK has successfully refined an approach to such music to the point it not only sounds entirely his own but shines a light to future paths Andrew could take this on. Released in an edition of 1000, with insert featuring sleeve notes by Andrew.

BOBUCK, CHARLES	God O: Music For A Gallery Opening (Deluxe Edition)	2CD	KLANGGALERIE	GG 480CD
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 "The Residents are an American art collective best known for their over 60 studio albums that were recorded over a period of over forty years. They also created some outstanding multimedia works, mainly three CD ROM projects and more than ten DVDs. Charles Bock was a pseudonym that Hardy Fox, co-founder and primary composer for the group, used from 2012 to 2017. About a dozen albums were released using that name until Fox started using his real name for his solo recordings. GOD O was the opening music for a Homer Flynn art exhibition in Oakland, CA (April-June 2011). This track was originally released in March 2012 as a download MP3 file only and later as a small run CD by The Cryptic Corporation. In addition, three reworked tracks were released as download only. Klanggalerie are now collecting these songs together with a previously unreleased track named 'GDC' that is half an hour long and was most likely created by Hardy in 2017. In addition, the label offers the download versions of the bonus tracks that are slightly differently mixed to the CD versions. This double CD has been carefully remastered and uses previously unseen artwork created by Hardy Fox."

$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Since its discovery in the late '90s, Dave Bixby's legendary $2000 private press album from 1969 is considered by all serious record collectors as the King in the loner/downer folk genre. First reissued by Guerssen back in 2009, the label now presents a new, improved edition with newly sourced/remastered sound and extras. After being involved in '60s Michigan folk and garage-rock bands such as The Shillelaghs and Peter & The Prophets, Bixby started playing acoustic guitar and experimenting with LSD. After a year of drug abuse he felt broken. Starting a soul-searching, spiritual journey, he wrote Ode to Quetzalcoatl and most of the material for his second album, Harbinger's Second Coming in just one month and a half. Assisted by fellow musician Brian MacInness, who played some guitar parts on the album, Dave recorded Quetzalcoatl using an echo-laden four track machine in a flat's living room. The sound is lo-fi and sparse: just acoustic guitars and some occasional harmonica and flute, added to Bixby's haunting, emotional vocals, spiritual lyrics and solid songwriting. The opening cut, the eerie and painful "Drug Song" sets the mood perfectly for the rest of the album which contains more tormented titles like "666," "Lonely faces," "Open Doors," and "Secret Forest." Featuring original artwork in hard cardboard sleeve. Restored and remastered in 24-bit domain at Grammy Award-winning Osiris Studio. Includes insert with detailed liner notes plus rare pictures and lyrics. Also features extra insert with the map/story of Quetzalcoatl by Dave Bixby, as well as download card.

CRYPTOPSY	Blasphemy Made Flesh	LP	HORROR BIZ	HRB 006LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Color vinyl. Cryptopsy's 1994 debut, Blasphemy Made Flesh, is a raw yet lethal foundation for what would later become None So Vile. Even in its early form, the band defines technical death metal, with Flo Mounier's drumming already a relentless force. The guitar work stands out, weaving unexpected melody into the chaos, while the bass, though prominent, doesn't quite match the weight of its successor. And as always, Lord Worm's vocals are a monstrous presence, cementing the album's brutal and unhinged energy.

BARTHOLOMEW	Subterranea	CD	LUNAR MODULE	LM 003CD
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Newcastle-based electronic artist Bartholomew returns with Subterranea, his most personal and cinematic release to date. Arriving on Lunar Module, a new CD imprint from Castles in Space, the album delves deep into emotional terrain -- fusing generative electronics, orchestral flourishes, and raw sonic textures into a poignant meditation on instability and resilience. Following 2023's Moorbound -- a love letter to the Newcastle Town Moor -- Subterranea marks a turning inward. While Moorbound found grounding in the natural world, this new record confronts internal architecture: the disquiet of mental health struggles, personal upheaval, and the ever-shifting nature of equilibrium. Across nine tracks, Bartholomew -- real name Chris Bartholomew -- draws on his background in theatrical composition (Barbican, National Theatre Studio), marrying cinematic storytelling with a palette that recalls the emotional resonance of Hans Zimmer, the granular textures of Tim Hecker, and the stark minimalism of Ben Frost. The result is a body of work that's as vulnerable as it is technically accomplished. The seeds of Subterranea were planted after a shared bill at Newcastle's Cumberland Arms with Gordon Chapman-Fox (Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan). Impressed by the raw demo material, Chapman-Fox brought the project to Lunar Module, a label whose mission -- charting inner worlds and emotional topographies -- was an ideal fit.

MERZBOW	Scene (20th Anniversary)	CD	MIRAE ARTS	MACD 007CD
$12.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Merzbow, the pioneering Japanese noise project led by Masami Akita since 1979, remains a defining force in experimental electronic music. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Scene -- originally a limited CD release on Waystyx in 2005 -- was reissued on vinyl in 2024, quickly selling out. Now, it returns as a remastered CD, featuring an exclusive bonus track from the original sessions, housed in premium SACD jewel cases, and accompanied by a new essay by Dr. Jamie Stephenson. A surrealist gem from Merzbow's mid-2000s "laptop era," Scene opens with the chaotic carnival energy of "Part 1," before dissolving into hypnotic layers of rhythmic drums, metallic clangs, distant bird calls, and atonal wind chimes shimmering in an otherworldly haze. A vital piece of Merzbow's ongoing analog and digital sound experiments, this CD reissue of Scene is limited to 300 copies, offering fans and collectors another chance to own this long-unavailable masterpiece. Artwork by Masami Akita. Design by Takashi Makabe.

KROKODIL	Getting Up For The Morning & Sweat And Swim	2CD	MADE IN GERMANY	MIG 3452CD
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 "Founded in 1969 by Düde Dürst, Hardy Hepp, Walty Anselmo, Terry Stevens, and Mojo Weideli, Swiss rock band Krokodil was not only one of the first of its kind, but also influenced numerous subsequent Swiss rock bands with its unique, progressive, and psychedelic-tinged musical style. 'We didn't want to emulate our Anglo-American idols, but play our own music right from the start,' recalls drummer Düde Dürst. 'Everything was possible for us, there were no limits.' After three albums for the international record company Liberty/United Artists, Krokodil changed labels in 1972. On Getting Up For The Morning, they worked with producer Peter Hauke (Nektar and Omega, among others) for the first time. The LP was recorded in Dieter Dierks' studio in Stommeln, Germany. Like its successor Sweat And Swim, the album was released on the Bacillus label of Frankfurt's Bellaphon. Then it was over. After six intense years, the band split up. Düde Dürst said: 'I think we were in top form at that time -- musically and compositionally. And we had turned more towards rhythm & blues again.'"

This unique album by Bill Holt, first released in 1974, sounded way ahead of its time and became an international cult classic in the following decades.

Dreamies has its obvious and acknowledged influences -- the Beatles and John Cage chief among them -- but it's also clearly the work of an untutored auteur dissecting his own mind in the basement on reel-to-reel." --Joe Tangari, Pitchfork

RANKING TOYAN	Ghetto Man Skank	LP	CLOCKTOWER	OTLP 002LP
$15.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Originally released by Jah Thomas's Midnight Rock label from Jamaica, in 1982; now repressed by Clocktower. Ranking Toyan was already a seasoned veteran of Kingston's soundclash scene, having apprenticed with a number of smaller outfits before becoming earning a slot with Henry "Junjo" Lawes's Volcano Sound and winning widespread acclaim for his effortless, patois-laden delivery and his gruff putdowns of rival DJs. Though Toyan had already cut a number of outstanding sides for producer Don Mais, his collaborations with Lawes are undoubtedly his definitive recordings. Ghetto Man Skank stands as the very best of these. It boasts a set of simple, punishingly hard rhythms from the ace studio band The Roots Radics, which Toyan dominates with ease. His ability to spill forth unending streams of wordplay, streetcorner boasts, and infectious slogans is truly remarkable, enlivening every song on this set. Though Toyan didn't receive the same acclaim as fellow Volcano Sound DJs like Yellowman and Eek-A-Mouse, his outstanding performances on Ghetto Man Skank prove he was their equal in every respect.

LAMB, ALAN	Archival Recordings: Primal Image/Beauty	CD	ROOM40	RM 4240CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 A note from Lawrence English: "Time is a strange and elusive companion. Listening to Alan Lamb's Primal Image/Beauty, the traces of time are deep, and forever deepening. Recorded in 1981 and 1983 respectively, and then revised and refined across the coming half decade, each of these pieces traces Lamb's personal history through materiality and harmony. 'Primal Image' was the first composition Alan Lamb completed. Recorded on the Faraway Wind Organ, a long stretch of abandoned telephone line located on his family's farm close by the Fitzgerald National Park in Western Australia, this piece resolved an interest in the sonification of wires which had started many decades before. Lamb recounts pressing his ears to a telephone pole as a child, encouraged by his nanny to 'hear the sound the world made.' 'Primal Image' is a work of intense dynamism, a climatic sonic environment within which a complexity of harmony, timbre and texture intermingle, inviting us to lean in. Similarly, 'Beauty' maintains this offer of harmonic complexity. Recorded across some 20 hours, the piece is a condensation of vibration, a folding of time and listenership that speaks both to Lamb's passion for his instrument and the instrument itself as a source of unbounded, and evolving sonics. Lamb's music is one of both attentiveness and patience. It is a music that comes forth from the world, but is simultaneously hidden from most of us. It is a music of the moment, but also one of recurrence as vibrations travel along the material that is the metal wires. It is also a music which, by its very nature, is eternally in the present. Alan Lamb, as a conduit to this material music invites us to share his listening in these moments. He asks us to cast our ears outward into the world and in doing so unlock an interiority of the mind which remains forever compelling and more so fascinating."

$17.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 "These four musicians have all played with each other before. Just to name a few: two albums in duo for Joe McPhee and Michael Bisio, in addition of appearing in different other bands; Mat Maneri and Fred Lonberg-Holm, also recorded as a duo; Fred Lonberg-Holm is part of Joe McPhee's Survival Unit III with Michael Zerang and both are also part of Peter Brötzman's Chicago Tentet; Joe McPhee is within Mat Maneri Quintet in the album Sustain; Mat Maneri is within Michael Bisio's quartet on the album MBefore and both are part of Matthew Shipp's trio Chamber Ensemble on The Gospel According to Matthew and Michael. So, no need to say that they were already very familiar to each other. Almost four generations of musicians; four very strong musical personalities, four very rich musical careers and, above all, four musicians who know how much the confrontation of different ideas pushes music forward; and it is exactly what we had hoped from this band, that they find a common language richer than the sum of the individual languages of each of them, a coherent musical material that respect each personality without reducing the great diversity of their individual approaches. If there was no doubt at the outset that Joe McPhee, Mat Maneri, Fred Lonberg-Holm and Michael Bisio would be able to make a great recording, eventually, they have done much more, finding original forms and producing an album on which the diversity of the pieces in no way detracts from the cohesion of the whole -- quite the opposite, in fact."

$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Subconsciousology is a full reworking of Dot Allison's 2023's Consciousology, by producer Lomond Campbell, who, as the title suggests, has made it deeper, darker and dancier. Whereas the original album was all ornate avant-garde folk and psychedelic explorations, this new take is as hard-hitting as it is heavenly, as beat-driven as it is beautiful, and crucially it finds Dot re-embracing the electronic music with which she first made her name in One Dove. "I love that Lomond has brought a rich musicality and has created wild universes around the elements he has chosen to retain in the various songs," adds Dot. "It reminds me of working with Andrew Weatherall in a way, where the mixes were bold and reinventive departures. The whole concept of the original record is about interconnectivity and the electromagnetic aspects to consciousness, so the remixed version is like a rainbow diffracted from a beam of light." Everything in this pot of gold sounds and feels at once familiar but different -- from the chugg.

WEVIE STONDER	Sure Beats Living	CD	SKAM	SKALD 039CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 In the weird world of Wevie Stonder, things are never straightforward. The four-piece collective headed up by Al Boorman have returned with their first album in 16 years -- and one reason it took so long is that they couldn't think of a title. The group are renowned for their outlandish electronics and humorous vocal performances, with a series of treasured releases on Manchester's eminent Skam Records, and their latest album Sure Beats Living ventures into unknown realms. Introducing a host of new characters, tall tales and bizarre scenarios to a musical backdrop as varied as it is striking, the record darts between ambient tranquility, strange soundtracks, bass-heavy beats and emotive R&B. Opener "That's Magic" features a magician talking us through a convoluted magic trick, to a mysterious synth theme that a celebrity conjurer might use to help the pyramids disappear. It's probably one of the only pieces of music to draw influences from Paul Daniels. "Carpet Squares" is a hefty slab of squirming machine bass, acid squidges and clanking industrial drums, its samples extolling the virtues of fitting comfortable flooring, with a voiceover recorded on a Canadian golf course. "Vanja & Slavcho" tells the odd story of twins who have an extraordinary ability to a bustle of spiraling arpeggios and comedic sound effects, while "Tiktaalik" has a glam rock beat, guitar twangs, wild synth runs and dance music drum rolls that build to nowhere, plus processed dolphin noises and a vocal about evolution. Then there's "Piccolo's Travels," a spellbinding mix of classical strings and -- is that a malfunctioning Clanger? "Album Titles" lists rejected names for the record to hilarious effect, with outlandish blips, accordion riffs and bubbling percussion setting the scene, "The 38th Parallel" is a wonky slab of electronica, while "Push It" has everything from rock guitar interjections to explosions and birdsong. If "Customer Services" imagines the bewildering experience of dealing with a sentient automated phone call, then the following "Nothing To Write Home About" is a waltz-time organ piece with a nostalgic, bittersweet air. "Ready?" lists practically every genre under the sun and gives you a burst of it, from drill to country and western, hardcore to Miami bass, and the final track, "The Void," is an AutoTune-laced R&B track with a deep, emotional core.

"Vanja & Slavcho" tells the odd story of twins who have an extraordinary ability to a bustle of spiraling arpeggios and comedic sound effects, while "Tiktaalik" has a glam rock beat, guitar twangs, wild synth runs and dance music drum rolls that build to nowhere, plus processed dolphin noises and a vocal about evolution. Then there's "Piccolo's Travels," a spellbinding mix of classical strings and -- is that a malfunctioning Clanger? "Album Titles" lists rejected names for the record to hilarious effect, with outlandish blips, accordion riffs and bubbling percussion setting the scene, "The 38th Parallel" is a wonky slab of electronica, while "Push It" has everything from rock guitar interjections to explosions and birdsong. If "Customer Services" imagines the bewildering experience of dealing with a sentient automated phone call, then the following "Nothing To Write Home About" is a waltz-time organ piece with a nostalgic, bittersweet air. "Ready?" lists practically every genre under the sun and gives you a burst of it, from drill to country and western, hardcore to Miami bass, and the final track, "The Void," is an AutoTune-laced R&B track with a deep, emotional core.

JODO	Guts	CD	SOMMOR RECORDS	SOMM 112CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Jodo was a short lived but powerful British hard-rock band from the early '70s with connections to Deep Purple, Green Bullfrog, Jasper, and Killing Floor. Featuring the ace guitar playing of Rod Alexander plus two lead singers -- one white (Bill Kimber) -- one black (Earl Jordan) -- their music blended heavy-rock, blues and proto-metal. In 1971 they released their sole self-titled album, produced in London by Derek Lawrence (Deep Purple, Wishbone Ash) and engineered by Martin Birch (Black Sabbath, B.O.C). For some strange reason, the album never saw a UK release, being available only in the US and New Zealand and housed in a cryptic packaging -- the cover shows a man with a bicycle, without band photos or band details. This is the first band-sanctioned reissue. 24-bit domain remaster including insert with liner notes by Austin Matthews (Shindig!) and rare photos as well as download card.

BARK PSYCHOSIS	Replay	CD	THIRD STONE	STONE 041CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Originally released in 2004, Replay captures one of post-rock's most influential and elusive acts, during their peak years of 1988 to 1994. Bark Psychosis always defied convention -- layering samples and textures to create immersive soundscapes that helped define post-rock when the genre was growing stagnant. One of their key innovations was their use of volume and contrast; dense guitar walls collapse into delicate vocals and synths, revealing the dynamic range at the heart of their sound. This CD repress stays completely true to the original, which features photography from St John's Church, where the five live tracks were recorded in 1991. The setting's natural acoustics perfectly complement the band's expansive, atmospheric approach. This edition also includes rare studio material: re-mastered versions of "Reserve Shotgunman" and "Hex' (first released as B-sides), the cult favorite "Clawhammer" (from a 1988 flexi-disc split with Spacemen 3's Dreamweapon), and a remix of "Big Shot," making it essential for fans and collectors alike.

DOCTOR FEELGOOD	Something To Take Up Time	LP	SURVIVAL RESEARCH	SVVRCH 100LP
$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Not the British pub rockers! This Doctor Feelgood is a completely different band -- American, obscure, and far more experimental. Their 1971 album Something to Take Up Time is a wild mix of prog rock, free jazz, blues, and psychedelia, packed with flute and sax solos in the spirit of early Jethro Tull, Gravy Train, and Aynsley Dunbar. Formed by ex-members of Teddy and the Pandas and The Sensations, the band only lasted a few years, but left behind this cult gem -- full of complex arrangements and standout performances, especially from sax/flute wizard Dick Winters, who often played two horns at once. Underrated, unique, and highly recommended.

$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Originally emerging from the Ohio garage scene as Jerry and the Others, The Elders released their sole album in 1971 -- a surprising mix of soul-infused rock, funk rhythms, wah-wah guitars, and psych flourishes. Despite the ominous skull-and-book cover art, this isn't heavy Sabbath-style riffing, but rather a vibrant, danceable sound closer to Sly & The Family Stone, Rare Earth, and early Hendrix. Rooted more in the late '60s than the early '70s, their groove-heavy, genre-blending approach feels both raw and infectious. A true sleeper gem worth digging up.

After experimenting with beat and pop in the '60s, Koray fully embraced the underground, eventually releasing his game-changing self-titled debut in 1973. A landmark release, it seamlessly weaves fuzzed-out guitar work, Anatolian folk melodies, R&B grooves, and raw psychedelia into something entirely unique. A cornerstone of Turkey's countercultural sound.

$20.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/8/2025 Formed in 1969 and closely tied to the Mountain camp, this powerful New York quintet was part of the same hard rock vanguard that defined the early '70s. Sharing stages with heavyweights like Jethro Tull, Black Sabbath, Ten Years After, and the Faces, they built a solid live reputation, yet widespread recognition always seemed just out of reach. Their lone, self-titled album -- released in September 1970 -- is a hidden gem of the era: raw, bluesy, and full of proto-metal fire. Though it never cracked the charts, it stands today as a lost classic of American heavy rock, now rightfully rediscovered by crate diggers and rock historians alike.

SHORE, CATHERINE O'SULLIVAN	Andy Warhol's Factory People: Inside The Sixties Silver Factory	DVD	CANAMEDIA PARTNERS	MVD 18235DVD
$17.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/12/2025 DVD region code: 0. "Andy Warhol's Factory People, tells the story of the '60s Silver Factory that Andy founded in 1964 in an abandoned hat factory on East 47th Street in New York City. The Silver Factory lasted until 1968 when Andy gave up the lease and moved to the White Factory on Union Square. Shortly after moving in the Spring of '68 Andy was shot by Valerie Solanas and this event bookends the period of time covered in 'Factory People.' The idea of the film is to tell the real story of the culture, who was there with Andy, who participated in the work with Andy, and what really happened during this period -- all without passing judgement on Andy, his work, his friends, and the people who were there at the time. The film takes and in-depth look at the lives and times of the people who hung out with Andy and 'worked' at the Silver Factory during the '60s, making it all click as a new counter-culture arose and began to exert its influence throughout the arts."

VA	Silberland Vol 3: The Ambient Side Of Kosmische Musik 1972-1986	CD	BUREAU B	BB 471CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 On their last trip to Silberland, hurtled along the chrome highways and glass skyways of the kosmische landscape, powered ever onwards in perpetual motorik motion. This time, however, the Hamburg imprint opt for an unhurried itinerary, coasting far beyond the familiar rhythmic terrain to immerse listeners in the ambient side of this alternative Allemagne. Building on the tape loops, tone poems, and minimalist compositions of the '60s avant-garde, these musicians utilized the sweeping scope of the synthesizer to create expansive meditations. This compilation offers a survey of this singular era, blending pioneering voices with lesser-known artists for an immersive sonic experience. Taken from Cluster & Eno's self-titled 1977 album, "Ho Renomo" opens the set with a profound minimalism. Roedelius' "Veilchenwurzeln" follows, evoking pastoral scenes in a multi-layered and undulating composition, where synths flow gently, conjuring images of open fields and embodying an organic warmth. Der Plan's "Die Wüste" delves into darker territories, translating the visual world of Rainer Kirberg's cult film into a stark soundscape, while Rolf Trostel's "Hope Is The Answer" sees a steady sequence rise and fall beneath the filter. The koto-like plucks and piercing drones of Vono's "Hitze" create a mysterious and hypnotic experience which draws on both ancient and futuristic tones before giving way to "E-Night", a recording from the sessions of You's 1980 LP Electric Days. As the album progresses, Serge Blenner's "Phrase IV" beguiles with minimalist yet celestial synth lines, while Moebius' "Falsche Ruhe" offers a quiet, haunting meditation on solitude. From there, Harald Grosskopf's "Oceanheart," envelops listeners in aquatic ambient textures that suggest serene, moonlit waters -- a perfect surface to reflect the starry sky portrayed by Lapre's acoustic guitar and wistful synths. The glimmering, crystalline, landscape of Riechmann's "Abendlicht" finds a heartbeat amongst the tranquility, leading seamlessly into the unhurried progression of shimmering chords and chiming synths which make up Adalbert von Deyen's "Per Aspera Ad Astra". Unreleased until Bureau B's recent retrospective set, Faust's "Lampe An, Tür Zu, Leute Rein!" channels a darker, introspective, energy, marked by drones and field recordings while Conrad Schnitzler's "Electric Garden" creates an electronic biosphere buzzing with synthetic life. Moebius & Plank's "Nordöstliches Gefühl" pairs calm percussion and rhythm guitar with pastoral, swirling electronics, resulting in a lush, stately piece that captures the spirit of a vast, open landscape. Deutsche Wertabeit delivers hypnotic minimalism, before Asmus Tietchens' "Räuschlinge" pulls the listener into an eerie atmosphere of deep disquiet. Pyrolator's "Minimal Tape 1/8" offers an immersive wall of sound. The wintry "Southland" by Rüdiger Lorenz evokes the isolation of frozen landscapes, a fitting prologue for "Alleewalzer" by Thomas Dinger.

CARDOSO, GONCALO F.	Impressoes de Varias Ilhas (Recordings from Macaronesia)	LP	DISCREPANT	CREP 107LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 After impressions of Unguja and Borneo islands, Discrepant's chieftain Gonçalo F. Cardoso continues his sonic travelogue on insularity with Impressões de Várias Ilhas. Literally translated as "impressions from various islands," this third tome dwells on recordings and inspirations from three archipelagos of Macaronésia. Soaking in the sounds and recollections from Azores, Cape Verde and Canary Islands these diaristic endeavors spread throughout a number of real environments, from water caves and black stone beaches and lagoons to small harbors and everyday life scenarios, to project them into this not quite imaginary but not quite real memory haze that goes from a deeply personal impression to a resonating one. Melding raw field recordings with processed ones and synthesized landscapes, Cardoso never falters into sonic tour-ism, conjuring small-ish takes both vivid and dreamy, infused with a sense of wonder that feels both bewildering, com-forting and escapist. The breaking waves of "Bufadeiros de São Vicente" soothing in their irregular pattern, mingling with the lone echoing tones not completely removed from Black Dice's "Beaches & Canyon's" most pensive passages, flow into the underwater ambience and suspended pads of "La Cueva Scuba Livre," as reflections of the same sea crashing in on different lands, nature's psychogeography. Further on, the queasy warm chord and scraping murmurs of "Noite em Rabo de Peixe" mirror their nighttime framing while "Rãs em Xoxo" veers closer to pure musique concréte, crossed by a subdued feeling of unease that lingers in the nostalgia of "Cozido da Caldeira Velha," brimming within the haze of a Boards of Canada vignette. Summoning the past lives and future hauntings of its scenery, "Salinas de Pedra Lume" is like the quiet epic of the album, meandering into the unknown among crackling field recordings, decaying synths and flute-like howls -- or is it howl-like flutes? -- recurring as glimpses from foregone existences, not necessarily Gonçalo's own.

GREGORY & DENNIS	Blood Brothers	LP	CLOCKTOWER	CTLP 3116LP
$18.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 Originally released by RAS in 1994. Recorded and mixed at Leggo Recording Studio Kingston, Jamaica. Blood Brothers review by Jo-Ann Greene: "After the success of 1984's Two Bad Superstars Meet, it was inevitable that Gregory Isaacs and Dennis Brown would join forces time and again. On Blood Brothers, the pair duets on four co-written tracks, then go their own way on another four self-composed songs apiece -- the upside is that even if Brown is no longer in perfect voice, his performances are still gloriously rich in emotion and soul. This is particularly notable on 'Ease Up,' the pair's heartfelt plea for 'Mr. Big Shot' to ease up the pressure on the sufferers, and the equally impassioned 'Hard Labor,' a tough look at prison life. The stellar title track is a bouncy and jubilant celebration of fraternal love, while the gorgeous 'Closer Than a Friend' revels in the men's glorious harmonies. Of Brown's own solo numbers, a recut 'Here I Come' is the weakest, his vocals reed-thin, which the backing Roots Radics' militant rhythm and producer Errol 'Flabba' Holt's crisp production emphasize. Far superior is Brown's inspiring, soulful performance on the praise-filled 'Give Thanks to the Father' and his impassioned loverman delivery on 'True Love Is Hard to Find.' Arguably the best of his numbers is the last, 'Lover With Meaning,' and here Brown's voice is thick and rich with emotion. The sparser the sound, the brighter the singer shines, as on his totally laid-back 'Hooked on Your Love,' where the backing is stripped down to tattooed beats, Holt's reverbed bass, and a sprinkling of keyboards. From the sweet 'Goodbye Love,' across the vivacious 'The Love Letter' and on to the sufferer's-themed 'The Feds,' Isaacs struts his best stuff. Of course, as the title makes clear, this set wasn't meant as a clash album, but a showcase for two superb talents."

IGLO	Transience	12"	FIGURE	FIGURE X049EP
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 Promising label newcomer IGLO returns to Figure with his second EP, building on a distinct sonic identity shaped by a background in classical music and live performance. Across five tracks, he further refines his mix of atmospheric depth, precise rhythms, and melodic nuance. This time, his own voice takes on a more central role, adding a personal and expressive layer to the productions. On opener "Computed Love," restrained, longing vocals blend into squelchy synths and minimal grooves -- hauntingly beautiful, yet gritty with rumbling machine funk. Determined follows with a more menacing tone, its sharp percussion cutting through a bleak, shadowy atmosphere -- perfect for building tension on the floor. On the flip, IGLO switches up the mood: "Enter the State" runs on hypnotic loops and chopped-up piano riffs, peppered with cheeky, spoken-word style vocals that nod to ghetto house traditions. It breaks into an irresistible, swinging groove that hits with full force. Offering a smooth counterpoint, "Enlighten" drifts into dubby terrain. Soft, ricocheting vocal snippets and warm chords conjure a hopeful, human glow -- a bouncy balm for the soul, without losing its forward momentum. With X49, IGLO deepens his connection with Figure and sharpens his unique voice -- equally grounded in introspection and dancefloor impact, continuing to shape a sound that's thoughtful, bold, and marks him as one to watch.

SATIE, ERIK	Uspud/Cinema	LP	GOD RECORDS	GODREC 074LP
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 GOD Records presents its first release from the controversial composer with cult status, Erik Satie. He influenced not only the entire musical language of John Cage but also an entire generation of 20th and 21st century composers, whose influence remains noticeable today. This unique release presents two of his rather obscure and lesser-known, but unique pieces, both composed for visual arts: a movie ("Cinéma") and a ballet ("Uspud"). Renowned Serbian piano player Branka Parlić, famous for her interpretations not only of Satie's works but also of other minimal composers like Philip Glass and Gavin Bryars, shares some of her impressions about the pieces: "'Cinema' is the first example of music scored explicitly for film, frame-by-frame. These facts really interested me, so I started working on it. So far, I have performed 'Cinema' live-to-film Entr'acte many times as part of my concerts. 'Uspud' is a less communicative three-act Christian ballet written for a shadow play back in 1892. This timeless, mystical work drew me in on the first reading, and I was delighted to work on it. Satie offered this piece to the director of the Paris Opera, and after he was rejected, he declared: 'I believe in the appearance of 'Uspud' at the Opera for the winter of 1927, or no later than 1943.' The meaning of the word 'Uspud' is still not fully clarified."

HARDSPACE	H007	12"	HARDSPACE	H 007EP
$21.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 For the seventh installment of his Hardspace series, Len Faki selects three standout tracks from his personal vault -- polishing them up with signature flair for maximum impact. The A-side features a powerhouse mix of Jimmy Edgar´s "Strike." Len Faki brings extra drive and spatial depth to the mix: sizzling hi-hats pan sharply across a tight stereo field, vocal chops flicker in and out, and the groove is stripped, slick, and forceful. A subtle reverb treatment adds atmosphere without compromising punch. On the B-side, Faki dives into Robert Armani's 1994 album Right to Silence, revisiting two Chicago-style jacking tracks that are nodding to the Dance Mania era. Up rides on a fierce hi-hat shuffle and a pounding stomp, centered around a bold vocal loop that captures the rough, battle-cry attitude of classic Chicago jack tracks. Faki's edit sharpens the angles and tightens the structure, giving the track even more bite. "Road Tour" originally leaned on a harsh, detuned lead synth. Len´s Hardspace version removes the abrasive top line and lets the looping arp take center stage, which subtly shifts in tone and pans across the stereo field. The groove doesn't push forward so much as it sways side to side, creating a warped sense of motion. A pitched-up vocal samplehalf command, half tease-injects just the right dose of jack attitude. HS007 channels the raw, functional energy of vintage Chicago trax through Faki's modern lens -- respectful to its roots, but fully tuned for today's sound systems.

Oswald chose to focus on the Dead's Dark Star, which, over the course of a quarter century, they had expanded and transformed in myriad ways in live performances. Oswald was given access to the Vaults, where over the course of a month, with the guidance of the Dead's resident archivist Dick Latvala, he collected 105 performances, which through the following year he formed, folded, fondled, and finessed into a kaleidoscopic unstuck-in-time documentary of the Grateful Dead in some of their most psychedelic, symphonic, and rocking excursions -- a singular 110-minute fantasy performance. Here it is, Deadheads, the ultimate Dark Star. Deluxe audiophile pressing cut in Toronto under the watchful ears of John Oswald. Elaborately printed packaging in a heavy-duty triple gatefold jacket includes liner notes by musicologist Rob Bowman featuring interviews with Jerry Garcia, Phil Lesh, and Robert Hunter plus six "time maps" which chart the source concerts of Dark Star. Music performed by The Grateful Dead (c) Grateful Dead Productions Inc. & Ice Nine Publishing Inc. Taken from over 100 performances of Dark Star recorded between 1968 and 1993. Built, layered and "folded" to produce one large, new re-composed Dark Star. Original recordings of the Grateful Dead in performance have been processed using Plunderphonic techniques. John Oswald is best known as the creator of the music genre Plunderphonics, an appropriative form of recording studio creation which he began to develop in the late sixties. This has got him in trouble with, and also generated invitations from major record labels and musical icons. Meanwhile, in the '90s he began, with several commissions from the Kronos Quartet, to compose scores for classical musicians and orchestras, the latest of which is an orchestral work, commissioned by the BBC, combining aspects of The Beatles, Gyrgy Ligeti, and Terry Riley. He also improvises on the saxophone in various settings, dances, and is a successful visual artist, best known for the chronophotic series Stillnessence.

NIDIA & VALENTINA	Estradas	LP	LATENCY RECORDINGS	LTNC 026LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 Paris' Latency presents Estradas, an electrifying dance music album by multi-instrumentalist Valentina Magaletti and Afro-Portuguese beat-maker Nídia. The album follows the footsteps of Moritz von Oswald, Laurel Halo, Duval Timothy, Angel Bat Dawid, Mohammad Reza Mortazavi, and more on the French label. Estradas ("roads" in Portuguese), born from the Sicilian heat and refined under English rain, transcends cultural and environmental barriers, showcasing the duo's rhythmic expertise and connection through intricate beats and infectious melodies. The album celebrates the universal language of music, immersing listeners in a world where rhythm reigns supreme and movement is inevitable. Nídia and Valentina continuously meet "on the road," sharing a sonic adaptation to the urgency and context of different environments. Their exchange of vibes and beats resonates with all these diverse places. Produced by Tom Halstead (Raime/Moin), Estradas masterfully blends syncopated drum patterns, pulsating marimba lines, and melodic interludes.

BRAEN/PEYMONT	Paese Sotto Inchiesta	LP	MUSICA PER IMMAGINI	MPI 016LP
$40.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 At the end of the '60s, the production of soundtracks for small and big classics of Italian cinema was joined by another business which has proved to be less profitable but more creative and, in best case, free from the constraints imposed by clients on duty: the composition of music libraries. Almost all of the artists for the eighth art have finalized at least one or more music libraries. Names famous and not, old and young composers, real outsiders and meteors, usually hidden behind pseudonyms: this is the case, for example, of Braen and Peymont. The first needs no introduction, it was the one adopted by the former arranger, multi- instrumentalist, singer and composer Alessandro Alessandroni. The second is closely linked to the mysterious American composer, but resident in Italy, David Hoyt Kimball. The two are authors in different measure of an interesting album with an experimental background, Paese Sotto Inchiesta (1971), originally published by Flirt Records. The titles of the tracks appear in connection with the socio-cultural climate of Italy after 1968 and can be relocated as a background for journalistic-like images. The latter is a hypothesis not supported by facts, but some titles seem to be referred to the perception of a subsisting economic backwardness of the southern regions compared to the other ones; to a situation of collective tension, thanks to the global revolutions; in addition to the new concerns with an ecological background. Overall, the seventeen tracks on the album are mostly "dirty," characterized by an even atonal setting, with long repetitions in a noisy key, more fundamental reverbs and echoes for the different keyboard instruments. In a few words, abstract sounds, some guitar notes, echoes of Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, flute melodies and proto- ambient intuitions. Composers like Alessandro Alessandroni and David Hoyt Kimball deserve to be rediscovered. Following the essence of the work, for this press, MPI release a 100% recycled vinyl that reduce waste, minimize environmental impact and support the planet.

BELIEF DEFECT	Desire and Discontent	CD	RASTER	R-M 212CD
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/15/2025 The world became another since the release of Decadent yet Depraved (R-M 178CD, 2017), and so has Belief Defect's reflection of it: now darker, political, honest -- end times in Cinemascope. When the duo reunited in the studio after the two-year fracture COVID inflicted on reality, the album that had been on pause all this time seemed insufficient against whatever life had morphed into, while humanity hid from itself. Finishing an album coherent to the present moment took prolonged studio shut-ins that proved to be as cathartic as the struggle sessions of the cultural revolution must have been. Desire and Discontent unfolds like a parable, structured by subsonic frequencies that give arrangements a solid gravity, dissonant chord progressions resulting in coherent movements, punctuated by human-like voices over slow, suspenseful melodies that come into being without the listener's awareness. Contributing to the album with machine-like precision drumming is Merlin Ettore, vocals from Anna Gartner, and the artwork of Juan Mendez (Silent Servant).

SHARP'S TERRAPLANE, ELLIOTT	Do The Don't	CD	INTUITION	INT 34252CD
$12.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/22/2025 "Blues as nostalgic roots music? No way! A blues avant-garde formed in the US some time ago which sensitively incorporates the achievements of tradition and transforms them into an aggressive music of the future. They need neither computers nor any other electronic means, but can build on the resources and repertoire of classical blues. Before acts like Hazmat Modine, the Black Keys, and Son Of Dave developed their future blues, it was first of all New York guitarist Elliott Sharp who made new audiences aware of electronically amplified blues. With his band Terraplane, he has been opening up new paths for the blues since the mid-1990s. His 1994 debut album Terraplane, which was recorded when the group was still a trio, is probably the most efficient synthesis of blues and punk in recent rock history. Elliott Sharp's guitar salvos on Do The Don't leave no doubt that this album is only going in one direction -- forward. To that end, he surrounds himself with a superb crew. The vocals are provided by the duo of Eric Mingus & Dean Bowman. Mingus lives up to his name; the son of jazz icon Charles Mingus is as nonconformist, powerful and full of energy as his father. Bassist David Hofstra played with the Microscopic Septet and, together with Sharp, in Wayne Horvitz's The President. The unflappable veteran, who crosses the line between avant-garde and tradition, was one of the founding members of Terraplane. Drummer Sim Cain is known particularly for his percussive thunder with the Rollins Band. Jazz musician Sam Furnace, who died shortly after the album was recorded, gave Terraplane's sound an earthiness with his baritone saxophone that makes the music moist and rich for all its urbanity. Hubert Sumlin enhances the CD as a special guest. Sumlin is not only one of the last surviving blues authorities, but to some extent is also Sharp's blues mentor."

YOOFEE TRIO, MOSES	Ocean	LP	LEITER	LTR 029LP
$28.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/22/2025 Having built an impressive following on the back of live performances and social media, Berlin's Moses Yoofee Trio shared their impatiently awaited debut mini-album Ocean in November 2023. Released by Nils Frahm's LEITER label, it contains five tracks and was praised by the press and audiences alike. The trio -- awarded the German Jazz Prize for Live Act of the Year in 2024 -- responded to constant demand by releasing their acclaimed debut as a limited-edition vinyl. After the first pressing sold out in no time, the three are now following up: Ocean is once again available on vinyl. The trio -- pianist/keyboardist/producer Moses Yoofee, bassist Roman Klobe-Baranga and drummer Noah Fürbringer -- has lit up Europe's clubs and venues over recent years with astonishing, almost obscenely tight live shows. Turning as much to RnB, hip hop and soul as more traditional jazz sources, the tunes on Ocean reflect the spontaneity, inspiration and instinctive refinement of their performances. The deliciously frantic title track and increasingly ecstatic "Minor Issues" stand in stark contrast to "At Ease's" restrained complexity, while "Fragile's" hypnotic rhythm betrays their love of hip-hop and the lush "Richmond" is driven by a deliciously low-strung groove before shifting up a gear for its climax. "Everybody loves fusion," the band agree, "even if they don't admit it," but that's only one element of the trio's sophisticated style, with Moses' exceptional keyboard skills illuminated by Roman's fluid bass lines and Noah's eloquent drum patterns.

SERENDA	Second Skin	12"	RHYTHM SECTION INTERNATIONAL	RS 073EP
$19.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/22/2025 Serenda is a London-based DJ and producer of Guyanese and Greek heritage, known for her rich, eclectic sound rooted in house but never confined by it. Her sets fold between soulful depth and experimental edge, always delivered with a bold, contemporary vision. Her sets are grounded in rhythm and instinct, built less around genre than sensation. She blends percussive house, warped club music, and raw, organic textures; crafting dancefloors that feel immersive and visceral and emotionally-charged. There's a physicality to her sound that edges toward the primal. For Serenda, DJing is a form of play -- fluid, responsive, and deeply connected. She deconstructs and distorts house music with intent, letting in pressure, dissonance, and emotional rupture. Her sets draw on the "timeless mindless states" of Mancuso's The Loft, unfolding as rituals that don't smooth over the chaos, they work with it. Following the release of her debut EP The Prophecy on Josh Caffe's Love Child label, she made her mark with a headline show in Fabric's Room 2 and a Rinse FM residency. A regular in London's queer underground, Serenda is also shaped by New York's experimental club scene, where experimental sound and unfiltered expression mirror her own ethos. Afro-diasporic and South American ritual in tension with city life, instinctive rhythm against digital overstimulation. Her fascination with world-building and quantum physics runs through everything she creates, fusing sonic design and sensory experience into one evolving landscape.

CONN, BOBBY	Bobby's Place	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 594CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/22/2025 Welcome to Bobby's Place, the new split personality album from long time musical mischief maker and cultural provocateur Bobby Conn! Side A finds Bobby living in a tent somewhere on the astral plane surrounded by synthesizers, woodwinds, hand drums and a pulsating psychedelic fog. Planet Earth and the temporal plane are only faintly visible in the distance. Bobby is joined by his partner in crime Monica BouBou on violin, and DJ LeDeuce on unknown electronics making three long form journeys through polyrhythmic soundscapes. Master percussionist Michael Zerang (Peter Brötzmann Tentet, among many others), virtuoso flautist Constance Volk (Ensemble Dal Niente, Twyla Tharp Dance), and bassoonist Airan Wright (Mucca Pazza) come along for the ride. While sonic exploration has always been an aspect of Bobby's music, this is his purest expression to date. Side One finds Bobby starring in an alternative reality workplace sitcom also called "Bobby's Place." In each episode Bobby starts a new small business, like a restaurant or a nail salon, with a team of puppets, but the business inevitably fails and ends in bankruptcy by the end of the show. Bobby sings odes to blind (emphasis on blind) optimism in the face of rising Fascism and the decadent decay of late capitalism, joined once again by Monica BouBou and his band from 2020's Recovery release (TR 450CD): Josh Johannpeter, Jim "Dallas" Cooper, Devin Davis, and Billie Howard. The album was recorded at Bobby's home studio in Chicago over the summer of 2024 and mixed by the brilliant Cooper Crain (Bitchin' Bajas). Bobby Conn is a vocalist, songwriter, and performance artist working in Chicago. He came out of the Chicago "No-Wave" noise and performance scene in the mid-90's but quickly developed a reputation for extravagantly excessive performances, satirically political lyrics, and experimental, electro glam art rock. He collaborates with his partner and violinist Monica BouBou, DJ and sound designer Adam "DJ LeDeuce" Greuel, longtime rhythm section Jim "Dallas" Cooper and Josh Johannpeter, as well as many talented players in the Chicago classical, jazz and improvisational scene. With Monica, he often performs as a minimalist electro duo with sequenced backing tracks, and also performs at larger events with his seven-piece Superband.

EASTWOOD, ALAN JAMES	Seeds	2LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 164LP
$44.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2025 First time vinyl reissue, expanded and deluxe double gatefold 140g double vinyl, remastered audio with restored artwork. Alan James Eastwood's glorious Seeds is a certified folk-funk lost-classic. By the mid-1970s, Eastwood's musical career was pretty much over and he was almost unknown except among deep heads, amongst whom he would gain cult status. Original copies of the 1971 vinyl release of Seeds exchange hands for high sums. This expanded 2LP contains an extra record, collecting nine rare non-album singles and is presented in a gatefold sleeve complete with freshly commissioned liner notes courtesy of Paul Hillery (Folk Funk & Trippy Troubadours). With the long overdue deluxe reissue of this prized artefact, Be With hope to finally shine a light on the unheralded genius of Alan James Eastwood. Alan James 'Bugsy' Eastwood was a renowned musician and singer who came to prominence in the late 1960s with The Exception, an unsung but excellent band from Birmingham. The Exception released many singles, the first featuring friend Robert Plant on tambourine, before an album, The Exceptional Exception. However, by this time, Bugsy was feeling constrained and restless; he left the band within weeks of the release. Having vanished from the scene, he was honing a deeper, introspective edge to his songwriting. His demos found their way to the sound engineer and producer Mike Cooper at Pan Music Studios in Denmark Street. Loving what he heard, Eastwood soon entered a recording session with Cooper. The session was just Alan, his guitar and harmonica and -- by all accounts -- it was remarkable. With the songs, the voice and such an exceptional talent, it was hard to go wrong. Top-flight session musicians were added to the roster to complete the sound, with Byron Lye Fook (father of musician Omar) on drums, bassist Mike Ward, Brian Pickles on marimba and jazz drummer Chris Karan on tabla and percussion. Recorded in a matter of days in Pan's small 8-track studio, they carefully added overdubs, rhythm sections and four string sessions arranged by Hawkins. Also featuring backing vocals from Marilyn Powell and jazz singer Josephine Stahl. Mastering for this special double vinyl edition was overseen by Be With regular Simon Francis and it was cut by the esteemed Cicely Balston at Abbey Road Studios to be pressed in the Netherlands by Record Industry. The original artwork has been lovingly brought back to life at Be With HQ, with the addition of passionately written liner notes specially for this landmark reissue by none other than Paul Hillery.

CONNORS, NORMAN	Mr. C	LP	BE WITH RECORDS	BEWITH 181LP
$37.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2025 Norman Connors' Mr. C is a masterclass in sophisticated modern funk and boogie-infused soul that was way ahead of its time. Originally released in 1981, the album finds the renowned jazz drummer/producer at a creative crossroads, boldly diving deep into street-level boogie-funk without losing his soulful, jazzy touch. What once might have puzzled jazz purists now delights soul/funk aficionados; it has quietly become a cult favorite and now, nearly 45 years later, Mr. C sounds fresher than ever. Brimming with infectious heavy funk, lush arrangements and soul-stirring performances, it's an album that flirts with perfection, ensuring its enduring significance in the boogie/jazz-funk-soul canon. From its opening moments, Mr. C makes one thing clear: this is Norman Connors at his funkiest. The majority of the album is a straight-up party: think dancefloor-ready beats complemented by punchy horn riffs and slick early-'80s boogie vibes. There's heavy use of synths and drum-machines, demonstrating Connors' gleeful embrace of contemporary funk trends. Each track shines in uniquely thrilling fashion, showcasing Connors' versatility and happy knack for blending genres whilst crafting unforgettable melodies. Lush string accents and horn stabs weave through funky basslines, while the vocals (handled by a young Beau Williams) soar with gospel-tinged emotion. Over four decades later, it endures as a masterpiece. The fusion of Caribbean rhythm elements into an R&B context demonstrates Connors' willingness to experiment with global sounds while keeping things soulful and danceable. Bringing a real quiet storm swagger, "Sing a Love Song" slows the tempo ever so slightly into a sexy, swaying jazz-funk gem, featuring a young Glenn Jones on lead vocals. The arrangement is elegant, built on warm keys and an undeniable groove. The celestial "Love's In Your Corner" is all about soulful uplift. Featuring the legendary Jean Carn's powerhouse vocals soaring over a brass-kissed driving funk, it's an R&B burner. On release, Mr. C flew under the radar but time has been exceptionally kind to this record. DJs, collectors and soul connoisseurs alike have since rediscovered its magic. As ever, this crucial reissue has been lovingly remastered by Simon Francis, cut by engineer of the year Cicely Balston at Abbey Road Studios and pressed to perfection by Record Industry in Holland. Norman Connors was something truly extra. He was a visionary. And Mr. C is proof.

This release also marks the second collaboration between Maiguashca and Buh Records, following the critically acclaimed 2021 collection Música para cinta magnética (+) instrumentos (1967?1989). Cello in My Life stands as a testament to Maiguashca's enduring legacy as one of the most significant voices in contemporary and experimental music from Latin America. The album's intricate soundscapes and profound themes promise to captivate both long-time admirers and new listeners alike. Set for release on February 28, 2025, the album will be available on digital platforms and as a physical CD edition. This milestone in Maiguashca's discography further cements his reputation as a pivotal figure in the realm of contemporary and experimental music from Latin America.

ISHIBASHI/JIM O'ROURKE, EIKO	Pareidolia	LP	DRAG CITY	DC 921LP
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2025 "Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O'Rourke toured Europe for two weeks in 2023, a wonderful passage through France, Switzerland, Italy and Ireland; Pareidolia, the duo's fifth collaborative release, is a remix made up of resonances from those shows. The movement of sound in each performance and the relationships of sound between them; a dynamic medley of color and shape to pulse through earbuds, speaker cones and the air immediately surrounding you. Improvisation is the preferred collaborative mode for Eiko and Jim. They both prepare separately, without discussing anything beforehand. The dialogue in the moment determines the performance; anything that takes place is a possible point of departure, allowing for a unique experience each time they play. These 2023 shows marked the first time Jim and Eiko had played together outside Japan. Perhaps the flow of parts unpacked from their respective computers was inspired by the experiences of the tour: the nature of the assembled audience, the quality of the meal on the day at hand. Additionally, Eiko played flute and they both played a bit of harmonica intermittently throughout the performances. These live acoustic signals were routed back to the hard drives, to provide further material to play with -- and as they traveled, recordings of the previous nights' shows were among the materials for the next performance. With all this to play with, there was much fun to be had every night. Pareidolia's final mix is one further rearrangement of the elements -- comping -- say, a bit of Jim from Paris against Eiko in Dublin for a minute, before bringing them both back into the same room for a spell before another set of interactions comes into play. The choices and edits represented here make yet another unique dialogue, as well as a kind of "best" version of what they were doing on the tour. The sense of inevitability in the parts as they flow together might suggest structure; happily, this occurs without Eiko and Jim really committing to anything of the sort. Their available sound sources could present as a hot-wired noise onslaught, with all faders up full. Endless possible interpretations to be had on either side of the experience! This is one of several ways that the LP title and sequence of song titles come into play. Listeners hearing something more should have a good look in the mirror and perhaps consider the old saying: 'Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.' It could only help."

AMBARCHI/JOHAN BERTHLING/ANDREAS WERLIIN, OREN	Ghosted III	LP	DRAG CITY	DC 955LP
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2025 "The third time's the charm! Or perhaps -- the third time's another charming excursion into the seemingly infinite universe of rhythm spontaneously created whenever guitarist Oren Ambarchi, bassist Johan Berthling, and percussionist Andreas Werliin plug in together. However you choose to look at it, several years into their collaborative endeavor, and a little more than a year on from Ghosted II, Ambarchi, Berthling and Werliin are back with a new finding, constituting fresh developments of their sound -- if not their album-titling ambition (in other words, if you can't guess it's called Ghosted III, you're just not paying enough attention!). In actuality, the sound of this trio has been all about new developments since they first started playing together. That's something to be simply expected when dropping the tonearm on any of their records, which is a very nice thing. There's also something to be said for constancy, especially when it produces such stimulating variations of tone and mood within the trio format. So, all good -- since there wasn't anything broke, there was no need to fix it. Instead, just do it again. With that credo, Ambarchi, Berthling and Werliin returned to Stockholm's Studio Rymden to continue the incredible standard of capture that distinguished both Ghosted and Ghosted II. Although they took more studio time than ever before (three whole days!), Ghosted III's new development is an increased immediacy in their performances, something a little looser and wilder than their first two albums -- and something, no doubt, that's been developed by their encounters during the several dozen-plus gigs played since their debut. Thus, their ability to lock in and focus, hanging on to the smallest of details, is here enhanced by an expansive lightness of being. Such potentially polar skill sets could well make for uneven chemistry -- but in the hands of these three, a sparkling variety of new jams occurs. They seem to be available to try anything these days, at times playing with the exuberance of prog-rockers or new-wave popsters, alongside the eternal energies of their established styles: ambient neo-jazz, postkraut, minimal funk. In the end, their shared instinct shapes the varied emissions into structure reaching ever further into the ether -- giving Ghosted III a singular quality belonging only to the trio that is Oren Ambarchi, Johan Berthling and Andreas Werliin."

GOOD ONES, THE	Rwanda Sings with Strings	CD	GLITTERBEAT	GB 173CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2025 The celebrated Rwandan folk duo returns with a resonant fifth album, Rwanda Sings with Strings. The record combines their signature earthy vocals and acoustic instrumentation (guitar and hand percussion) with atmospheric cello and violin arrangements, creating a soundscape that vividly brings to life their powerful stories of resilience, memory, and longing. Recorded 100% live without overdubs in a hotel room by Grammy-winning producer Ian Brennan (Tinariwen, Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Parchman Prison Project), the album delivers an unusually intimate listening experience. Reflective, unfiltered and deeply human. For The Good Ones' fifth album, Ian Brennan scheduled a cellist and violinist to accompany the duo. The entire album was recorded in single takes without written scores or demos. The arrangements were improvised on the fly by the two string players who also didn't know each other. Within minutes of meeting all four musicians were recording -- their only communication, musical. "It was all an experiment," reports producer Ian Brennan, "but the second the strings entered during the intro of 'Agnes Dreams of Being an Artist,' it felt like the room began levitating and there was no doubt that something magical and profoundly beautiful was occurring. The album is extraordinarily ethereal -- even by their high standards." The session fulfilled the group's long-held dream to have main writer, guitarist, and lead vocalist, Adrien Kazigira's songs performed with strings. Sequestered in a Washington, DC hotel room the day prior to The Good Ones NPR "Tiny Desk" session, the musicians recorded nineteen songs in just three hours. Kazigira was so happy with the experience, afterwards, he wrapped his arms around the cello, as he lay chuckling and exhausted on the couch. The album's sound is steeped in a romanticism, longing, and a sense of resigned grandeur that echoes Malian balladeers like Boubacar Traoré or even Nick Drake and Astral Weeks. Perfect Sunday morning listening. Decidedly an underground group, The Good Ones' renown is nonetheless evidenced by the stellar musicians who've collaborated with them in the past, including members of Wilco, TV on the Radio, Sleater-Kinney, My Bloody Valentine, and Fugazi, and also by the vocal supporters that they've attracted such as Led Zeppelin legend Robert Plant. Kazigira states, "We are so thankful that music has taken us so many places that we never dreamed of visiting. And this new album has given us hope and really carried us through the hard times."

LAMPEL, IAN	The Parque Rodo Tapes	LP	LITTLE BUTTERFLY RECORDS	OSMO 002LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2025 Embark on a sonic journey through the rich tapestry of Ian Lampel's multicultural heritage with his debut solo album, The Parque Rodó Tapes. From the echoes of his grandparents' wartime exodus from Europe's tumultuous past to the rhythms of daily life in Parque Rodó, Lampel's artistic vision was shaped by a kaleidoscope of influences: Science fiction and fantasy books, graphic design annuals, comics, films, early computers and videogames as well as music; the haunting melodies of Russian and Polish classical composers hummed by his grandmother while cooking, the choir and Hammond music of the synagogue, his early explorations in club music and dub or the syncopated drumming of candombe and carnaval echoing in the streets of Montevideo. The composer, producer and bass player, wrote, sequenced and recorded practically everything that is heard throughout the album. With meticulous attention to detail, he has crafted a sonic landscape that seamlessly blends elements of jazz and Uruguayan music with the innovative spirit of dub, hip-hop and electronica; from the infectious rhythms of candombe and the raw energy of murga, to breakbeats, moog's and samples. Drawing from a treasure trove of samples collected over two decades, The Parque Rodó Tapes weaves together a tapestry of sound that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking, from the haunting voice of Marosa Di Giorgio and the vibrant cacophony of a carnival field recording by Lauro Ayestaran, to the guest contributions from notable musicians including Lampel's wife, singer/songwriter Eco Lopez, multi-instrumentalist Luciana Giovinazzo on flute, and Ferna Nunez on repique drum. Each track is a testament to Lampel's eclectic vision. A debut album with a certain degree of melancholy that works as a soundtrack to the world in which the artist grew up, a world now gone, without cellphones or social networks, in which everything had to be proactively pursued "in the streets."

ANKERSMIT, THOMAS	The Dip	LP	STUDENTS OF DECAY	SOD 140LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2025 Students of Decay presents The Dip, a new full-length recording by Berlin-based artist and composer Thomas Ankersmit, marking his debut with the label and sixth album to date. Comprised of two expansive, sidelong pieces composed entirely on the Serge Modular synthesizer, it signals a subtle yet significant shift in Ankersmit's trajectory, imbuing the hyper-physical, psychoacoustic intensities of his live performances with introspective, atmospheric, and even melodic elements. Primarily known for a site-responsive approach to sound, often realized in the moment of performance, Ankersmit's turn toward the studio in the last few years has opened up a new dimension within his practice. It is in this quiet rupture that The Dip emerged, a study in internality and suspended states, rich with cinematic undercurrents and ghostly spatial suggestion. Here, electricity itself feels transfigured -- becoming supple, even organic -- within an environment shaped entirely by analog signals. Over the past two decades, Ankersmit has established himself as one of the foremost practitioners of the Serge, the notoriously idiosyncratic and expressive instrument that has remained central to his work. On The Dip, he harnesses its potential not for brute force or disorientation, but for spaciousness, resonance, and lyrical abstraction. Without resorting to additional processing or effects, he draws out tones that feel simultaneously raw and refined, articulated and blurred -- intricate structures that seem to breathe and evolve of their own volition. The result is a kind of auditory hallucination, a "cinema for the ears," wherein impressions, emotional arcs, and imagined topographies unfold. Each side of The Dip plays like a single gesture unfolding in time -- a spatial narrative constructed through vibration, density, and the movement of air. The Dip follows acclaimed works on PAN, Touch, and Shelter Press, and reaffirms Thomas Ankersmit's position as one of the most focused and probing voices in contemporary experimental music. Quietly radical and meticulously constructed, it is less a departure than a deepening -- a descent into a more private sonic world, where the boundaries between perception, memory, and pure signal dissolve.

"The chars were emerging as some chunk of makeshift swamp coolers blasted the soil surrounding our motorbikes. Sunburn vapors floating grey all around, licking our necks with heavy hazy tongues. Just oppressive and gross. Blah. Someone says heat waves are among the most dangerous natural hazards. I guess that the magnetic tides did not help at all. For sure, recreational sleep deprivation aside, it was days of relentlessly documented tipsy headaches, thermometric cicada noises and weird-ass hallucinations. It is what it is. The age of earthquakes. We drink from our black plastic bags with a straw pushing a bit of oxygen thru our reptile brains. Just half a pack of synthetic tobacco for the ride. No internet. Whatever. She looks at me behind the war metal glasses and the silicone frog mask high on desert dust. Sweaty pools on her shoulders. Eyes purple with adrenaline. Map on the scratched screen. 'It says that at this point we should be hearing that fucking flute.' We stop amidst the geysers. We can see the monoliths and stone gods ready to eat up all the solar storms and the thunder. Towards the horizon, second moon is up. Damn. Water rises to our knees, green with bloating sounds. Just what we needed. We're stuck. Turn up the radio. Let's hope it lasts five minutes.' After trashing a bunch of fake subtropical signals, the radio plays a flute. She takes off the mask and explodes in a grin: 'This is it man, we made it! No man's land. The real fucking thing.' I light one up and let the sight get blurred: 'You betcha.'"

PROLAPSE	I Wonder When They're Going To Destroy Your Face	CD	TAPETE RECORDS	TR 595CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 8/29/2025 Prolapse formed in Leicester in the early '90s and are now spread across the UK and Scandinavia. Still pursuing their own path of repetition and twisted melodies, they merge influences from post punk to krautrock and even folk. Their previous releases have included numerous singles and four albums on various labels, including Cherry Red and Radar. They feature vocalists Mick Derrick and Linda Steelyard, whose intense dueling vocals combine with ferocious triple guitar assault and pummeling rhythms. The fifth Prolapse album I Wonder When They're Going to Destroy Your Face is released on Tapete Records and marks the band's first new recordings since their last album, Ghosts of Dead Aeroplanes. From the opening incessant riff of "The Fall of Cashline," Prolapse set their stall out, hammering the message that they're back, over and over (and over and over) again. The album was mainly written in Leicester and recorded at Foel Studio in Wales. Some songs had been evolving for a few years whilst others (three on the album) were improvised and recorded on the spot, just like they've always done. Get ready, turn the microphones on, press record -- and something just happens. Perhaps channeling some of the ghosts that have previously recorded at Foel: Amon Düül II, the Groundhogs, Young Marble Giants, My Bloody Valentine, and inevitably The Fall. The last words of the album are said by Linda Steelyard, recounting a tale of arriving at Leicester Forest East Services, and deciding to stay -- forever.

ADAMS, EVE	American Dust	CD	BASIN ROCK	BR 023CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/5/2025 American Dust is an ode to the beauty of the American Southwest, where vast desert landscapes hold stories both stark and tender. Eve Adams' characteristic folk noir weaves a vivid tapestry of love, sacrifice and quiet revelation, conjuring images of dust storms, stray dogs and far off trains. Somewhere out there in that broad and boundless landscape, Eve Adams has been living her own desert life, quietly writing the follow-up to 2021's Metal Bird LP. Where that album sang of liminal space, the dream-like turbulence of Holly-wood's golden age, American Dust is far more rooted in traditional storytelling; a eulogy for the American Dream channeled through that sweeping part of the country that holds such power and mystery. Slipping into different and varied costumes throughout its ten songs, it finds Eve not just observing the people around her but stepping into their shoes and peeling back the layers of their quiet lives. Adams writes from within. Weaving together themes of grit and romance, American Dust holds its focus on the bittersweet poetry of lives lived in solitude, most notably the women who sustain life at the center of it all. Eve is joined on American Dust by Canadian musician Bryce Cloghesy, aka Military Genius of Crack Cloud, who plays throughout and also helped produce the album. Musically bold and vivid, it's an ambitious and detailed stride forward from what's come before, the scope of album's narrative reflected in the radiant sweep of the playing. On top of gentle piano and guitar, gorgeous strings drift through the album, lending the songs a woozy sense of romanticism; a collaboration with Gamaliel Traynor (Cello) and Caroline's Oliver Hamilton (Violin). Musically it's lush and vibrant, intimate and cinematic side by side, and always bursting with warmth. But it's what it holds in its weary bones that elevates it to something truly special, something more than just a collection of songs penned in the heart of the desert. The characters it speaks of, and from, feel shadowed but wholly real, like they're bursting to share their stories that have remained hidden for years and years and they allow Eve Adams to grow as a songwriter.

SATIN JACKETS	Cruise Control	2LP	GOLDEN HOUR RECORDINGS	GHRLP 001LP
$37.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/5/2025 With his new album Cruise Control, Satin Jackets presents a perfect musical soundtrack for relaxed moments that take listeners away from the stresses of everyday life. The title of the album is meaningful: Cruise Control stands for the feeling of switching on the autopilot, leaning back and enjoying the journey to the fullest -- an atmosphere that the album unfolds. The album is a collection of singles that have been released over the last few years and are all interwoven at their core. Because no matter where you listen to the songs, they work, images arise in your head and your feet rarely stay still. Satin Jackets remains true to himself with his album sound, as he repeatedly receives feedback from listeners who appreciate the positive mood in his songs and which always puts them in a good mood. The songs are first created in the producer's head and then develop together with the features, who add their own touch. For Satin Jackets, "the most important thing is this immediate feeling that it fits musically and atmospherically." This can also come out of nowhere, as was the case with David Bay and Small Black, who got in touch with the producer and it was an instant fit. "There are always those magical moments when a song comes out of nowhere. Once I had an idea for a chord sequence that I couldn't get out of my head, but somehow that certain something was still missing. I then spontaneously asked a bassist friend of mine if he would like to play something to it -- ten minutes later we had a hook that carried the whole piece. It's these unexpected, spontaneous inspirations that make the process so exciting." Cruise Control is more than just another album from Satin Jackets. It is an invitation to enjoy the moment and surrender to the music -- a soundtrack that creates a good mood and takes you on a relaxing journey. So just switch on the autopilot again, put on your headphones and let yourself go. Featuring Seint Monet and Nazzereene.

MONKS, THE	Black Monk Time	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 486LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/5/2025 Released exclusively in Germany in March 1966, Black Monk Time by The Monks has become a cult classic -- praised as a groundbreaking forerunner to punk and krautrock. From the explosive opener "Monk Time" to the fierce "Complication," Black Monk Time rejected flower power for something more urgent -- anger, humor, and innovation developing a confrontational, rhythm heavy sound. Though the album was overlooked at the time, its bold sound and sharp lyrics have earned it lasting influence and critical acclaim. The Monks were five American G.I.s stationed near Heidelberg, West Germany. Originally performing as a typical beat group under the name the 5 Torquays, they evolved into something far more radical. After discovering guitar feedback by accident and embracing a raw, percussive approach, they caught the attention of two German ad men -- Walther Niemann and Karl Remy -- who became their managers and helped reinvent their identity. Dressed in monks' robes with tonsured hair and noose neckties, the band developed a confrontational, rhythm heavy sound. Their sole studio album, produced by Jimmy Bowien and recorded in Cologne in late 1965, defied musical norms. At the time, Polydor Records deemed the music too radical for American audiences, delaying its U.S. release. Despite its initial commercial failure, the album is now seen as a pivotal moment in rock history -- loud, strange, and unapologetically ahead of its time. The Monks' story is as unlikely as their sound: five ex-soldiers and two ad executives creating one of the most daring records of the '60s. The band never sparked the revolution they hinted at, but decades later, Black Monk Time still resonates. This is your chance to experience the album that dared to be different -- don't miss it. Remastered sound from the tapes, pressed on 180g vinyl.

ZIUR	Home	LP	RAUM MUSIK	RAUM 006LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/5/2025 On her fifth album, Ziúr considers not just what home symbolizes from her perspective, but the word's resonance to the diverse community that surrounds her, and how their stories have impacted her over the years. Indeed, it's the first time she's felt it necessary to examine her own nationality. In the past, she's deliberately avoided labelling herself as German, feeling disconnected from her country's politics, culture and even the German language itself. Stepping up to provide a different narrative, Ziúr scours her soul, writing and singing in German for the first time and proposing growth and evolution, not fear and regression. A solemn mood permeates the album's opening track 'Brown is the Color', and Ziúr sings in measured, slow-motion breaths over noisy synth oscillations and doomed piano flourishes. Already, it's a significant departure from her last run of releases, veering away from the frenetic, satirical chaos of 2023's Hakuna Kulala-released Eyeroll or its fantastical, dubby predecessor Antifate. Ziúr pulls on real world insights here, tracing her oldest, dearest musical inspirations to present her origins to anybody who might be listening. It's pop music in its own way, inverted and reconstructed to fit snugly into her well-established sonic landscape. On "No Yawn," brittle, downsampled hi-hats and industrial scrapes ping-pong around distorted riffs, provided by James Ó Ceallaigh aka WIFE. Even the beatless "All Odds No Chants," a collaboration with Elvin Brandhi and Sara Persico, reveals another room in Ziúr's autobiographical suite. An openness carries the whole record, whether she's crying harsh truths over damaged orchestral scrapes on the album's goth-y title track, or duetting with Manchester's Iceboy Violet on "Through the Trees." On the former, Ziúr's voice soars, echoing hypnotically over unsettling analog distortions and gnarled strings. It's one of the eeriest and most beautiful tracks she's penned, camouflaging its broken electronics with ghostly moans and theatrical punctuations. By inviting in her own demons, Ziúr has been able to write her most personal album. Her relationship with home will always be thorny, but through music, she's been able to create a place to exist that's truly comfortable and protective.

WINTERLIGHT	Winterlight	2LP	WINTERLIGHT RECORDINGS	WINTER 001LP
$45.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/5/2025 Emerging from the shadows of a small apartment in Chicago's South Side Pilsen neighborhood in 1999, Winterlight was produced and mixed by Daniel Thompson over the course of three years, from 1999 to 2002. It's an intimate and evocative album that captures a pivotal chapter in Thompson's life and echoes the spirit of a formative era in the underground music scene. Thompson's journey began in the heat of Houston, Texas, where his love for sound quickly became an obsession. By the late '90s, he was among the first DJs in Houston to champion the sound of Chicago house, often driving long distances from Texas to Chicago in search of records, inspiration, and connection. These trips -- equal parts pilgrimage and education -- eventually led him to relocate to Chicago, where his artistic vision would fully take shape. Winterlight is the direct result of that move. Crafted over several years, the album embodies a raw, hands-on approach to production, built from analog synths, outboard gear, and hours of meticulous layering. Thompson leaned on tools like the Kurzweil K2000, SE-1, Juno-106, and classic processors such as the DP4 and TC Electronic units, shaping each track with care and intention. Blending atmospheric textures with hypnotic rhythm and subtle experimental flourishes, Winterlight captures the sound of an artist deeply engaged with his tools and surroundings. His extensive vinyl collection -- over 3,000 records -- served as both palette and inspiration, with carefully chosen samples lending further depth and narrative to the music. Now set for release, Winterlight invites listeners into a soundscape that is both immersive and personal. More than just an album, it is a sonic document of a moment in time -- rich in tone, memory, and intent. For those willing to listen deeply, Winterlight offers a rare window into the underground spirit of the early 2000s and the inner world of a producer finding his voice.

EARTH	The Legendary Lost Tapes	LP	BIG BEAR	BEARLP 060LP
$38.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 "Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward first came together in 1968 and originally named themselves The Polka Tulk Blues Band, before transitioning to Earth shortly afterwards. In 1969, they recorded a number of demos in Zella Studios in Birmingham that were never released. The band these Brummie boys were fated to become were always an exceptional group, even in their early years as Earth, when as teenagers they formed a blues band. Neatly timed in the mid-1960s, as the blues boom was in decline. Nevertheless, they persevered, widening their repertoire, until, name-change they became the most important and most-copied of all heavy metal bands. They single-handedly invented the style that influenced and inspired not only so many bands, but also those dozens of sub-metal styles that now abound -- black metal, death metal, gothic metal, nu metal and so many more. The band's subsequent worldwide success over the last fifty odd years has, unsurprisingly, drawn attention away from just how fine a band they were at the outset. This release will most certainly address that position. These early recordings were made by the band, still known as Earth, who had already built an enviable reputation and a veritable army of fans with their high-powered, blues-rooted, red hot and rocking performances. These recordings accurately chart their development of their repertoire as they edged their way towards those heavy metal anthems that were soon to captivate the world of rock. All tracks featured have been carefully restored from the original masters, untouched for over 50 years, and presented here for the very first time in all their glory."

ROGINSKI, RAPHAEL	Talan	LP	SEEING RED RECORDS	CLASSIC 091LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 "Talán is the title of Raphael Rogiński's new solo album. Rogiński -- Polish guitarist, composer and musicologist, received recognition not only as a member of the Shofar trio where he performs with saxophonist Mikołaj Trzaska and percussionist Macio Moretti but also thanks to his astounding takes on John Coltrane's music released in 2015 Plays John Coltrane And Langston Hughes African Mystic Music. 'Talán is a very old (probably Scythian) word that can be translated as 'maybe' and that's where my musical approach comes from -- I take something in order to lose something else,' Rogiński explains. 'It's a constant process of achieving goals by getting rid of others and I'm fixated on this idea. It's also a meditation upon a process, a calm observation,' he adds. Talán is also a result of Rogiński's fascination with the Black Sea. 'All of the tracks are somehow connected to it and some were composed in Odessa -- a city often thought of as a gateway to Asia. This is where my some of my ancestors arrived to Europe,' says Raphael. 'When working on these tunes I came to know the Black Sea both physically and spiritually. What's interesting, it's been once called Inhospitable Sea only to later turn into Hospitable Sea. A myth was tamed and when the mystery disappeared and different civilizations met, a new myth came into life. The album was composed over a couple of years and took many attempts at the recording. My patience is usually very limited so this has been a strange experience for me. But traveling the region of the Black Sea and discovering its nature within myself required time. Our world is full of wonders and awes and traveling (both physically as well as emotionally) remains one of the most important aspects of living,' Rogiński admits."

ROGINSKI & RUZICNJAK TAJNI, RAPHAEL	Bura	LP	INSTANT CLASSIC	CLASSIC 100LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 "Bura is a brand-new album by guitarist Raphael Rogiński and the group Ru?ičniak Tajni (Svetlana Spajić, Marina D?ukljev and Tijana Golubović). It features guest appearances by Piotr Zabrodzki (LXMP, Mitch & Mitch) and Mila Gavrilovič. Ru?ičniak Tajni is a unique meeting of Polish and Serbian musical traditions, the result of cooperation between artists seeking new forms of expression based on the cultural heritage of Central and Eastern Europe. The initiator of the project is Raphael Rogiński -- a Polish guitarist, composer and researcher, known for his experimental approach to traditional music and his love of improvisation. In the project, he is accompanied by three outstanding Serbian artists whose work is a conscious combination of local traditions and modern expression: Svetlana Spajić -- a renowned ethnomusicologist and singer, specializing in old vocal techniques and archaic song forms. Her interpretations combine authenticity of message with sensitivity to the contemporary context. Marina D?ukljev -- a pianist moving in the area of improvised and experimental music, known for deconstructing harmonic and rhythmic structures. Tijana Golubović -- a violinist and vocalist, drawing from folk performance practice, while simultaneously exploring new sonic narratives. Their collaboration resulted in the album Bura, recorded in Serbia in November 2024. The title refers to the characteristic wind from the northern Balkans, symbolizing both the forces of nature and the cultural tensions shaping the identity of the region. The album is a musical encounter of traditional Serbian songs -- reconstructed on the basis of oral traditions and archival materials - with modern means of expression. Another key element is Raphael Rogiński's original compositions, inspired by Sufi poetry, which was translated into Serbian in the 19th century."

HINODE TAPES & HIROKI CHIBA	Ita	LP	INSTANT CLASSIC	CLASSIC 101LP
$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 "Ita is the third album form Polish trio Hinode Tapes. This time, Piotr Chęcki, Piotr Kaliński, and Jacek Prościński are joined by Japanese double bassist Hiroki Chiba (who has collaborated with Jim O'Rourke, Eiko Ishibashi, and Otomo Yoshihide, among others). Their joint album is titled Ita and features four new compositions at the intersection of ambient and free jazz. This extraordinary collaboration came about thanks to Piotr Kaliński. 'We were connected by a mutual colleague who understands the music of Hinode Tapes and Chiba quite well. He recommended that I go to one of his concerts and it just blew me away, because Hiroki explored the territories between jazz and ambient in a masterful fashion,' explains Kaliński. 'From my perspective, Chiba's presence adds a new color to Hinode Tapes' music. Apart from the fact that objectively he is a great musician, this is our first album to feature a double bass player. This aspect determined the way we made decisions on this album in terms of managing sonic space,' adds Prościński. At the beginning of 2025, Hinode Tapes played a short tour in Japan. 'It was a very strong experience. We saw a genuinely great interest from the audience, and we were watched on stage by such legendary and important people to me as Inoyama Land and Chihei Hatakeyama,' recalls Kaliński. 'During the concerts we tried to compress our approach and musical aesthetics. We also played strongly improvised concerts with Japanese artists -- Hiroki Chiba, Momose Yasunaga (known from our previous album) and Ko Ishikawa, a virtuoso playing the traditional Japanese instrument shō. Ko collaborated with Ryūichi Sakamoto on the album Async. It was an honor and a big challenge for us.' Ita brings another change of aesthetics in the context of the Hinode Tapes discography. 'Our previous album was quite dark, you could even say gloomy. On this one there is more sun, colors in a higher register, like bells, triangles, janissaries,' says the drummer."

NEW BRUTALISM	Requiescat Record (Foil Sleeve)	LP	COMPUTER STUDENTS	CS 012B-LP
$29.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 Foil sleeve version. Requiescat Record is the new album by New Brutalism, a minimal rock quartet formed in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 1998. The band comprises vocalist Shane Elliott, guitarist/vocalist Matt Hall, bassist/vocalist David Basford, and drummer Carey Balch. The three-track release -- "088," "087" and "089," in keeping with their strict numerical naming convention -- was recorded in 2021 by the late, great Steve Albini at Electrical Audio, and mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service in 2025. For the band, "less is more" became a guiding principle -- channeled through an unwaveringly raw, direct, and honest approach to sound. Out of partly sound, partly aesthetic, mainly a thirst to build, New Brutalism performs on aluminum instruments built by the band members. They chose the material because it's lighter than steel, more consistent than wood, and easy to machine. Above all, it's precise -- and thereby, can produce precise music. In 2021, New Brutalism entered Electrical Audio to record Requiescat Record. Named after a Latin term meaning a prayer for the repose of a dead person, Requiescat Record retroactively became a dedication to Albiniʼs memory. The band acknowledges that so much of the aesthetic, interests and sounds they admired are a product of his influence and the circle of artists around him. His death instigated a state of urgency. A desire to act became more pressing, to strike more often, and usher in a new era of productivity. Shattered and kinetic, forged by time and tragedy, with god-given sonic quality, Requiescat Record may acknowledge the dead, but this music feels ever so alive.

$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 "The Damned keyboardist Monty Oxymoron plays classical-hued piano versions of the band's most lived tracks! Not many people realize that The Damned have produced a fine array of songs with melodic, harmonic and rhythmic sophistication; with a depth of imagination and atmosphere. They spearheaded British punk, and yet diverse musical influences went into the crucible: UK and US psychedelia, Canterbury prog rock, and even classical and filmic musical influences abound. Now, with the return of drummer Rat Scabies the line-up is the same as that which produced many of these songs, with Monty on keys. Monty Oxymoron has played keyboards with The Damned since 1996, has written songs for the band, and played with Captain Sensible and Dr Space Toad before that. He is a retired psychiatric nurse and trained in art psychotherapy. Monty is keen on 'free improvisation' and plays in and around Brighton where he lives. Monty has an almost impossibly eclectic collation of his music on Bandcamp, his YouTube channel, and shares ideas on various subjects on his Substack page (under his 'real' name: Laurence Burrow.)"

Indeed, if you close your eyes and unplug the record-player, all 14 -- count 'em (next time you open your peepers) -- finely-crafted tunes on this LP could almost qualify as 'great,' depending on where you stand, musically. Featuring such live favorites as 'Black Sails In The Moonlight' and 'Red Monkey,' the general consensus was that this was The Milkshakes' finest work to date (ask them yourselves). That must be partially true, as London's prestigious Big Beat Records figured it was good enough to reissue on their very own prestigious Big Beat record label -- twice."

While you want to stay true to yourself and speak authentically from the soul, you are also expected to appear forever young, and powerful.

$22.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 "Desinteresse present their first studio produced album, Onschuld, through Fabrika Records. Desinteresse is a Dutch Coldwave act formed in late 2022 as a duo consisting of Bart Vranken (bass) and Sem van den Munckhof (vocals/synth/guitar). Joppe de Swart (drums) joined in 2024 to form the current trio. Onschuld is their first true album after the release of two cassettes on their own label DECADENCE. This is Desinteresse's first studio production and experience in recording things separately; their first tape Voor Altijd was simply recorded live in Sem's attic room. Onschuld was recorded at The Lullabye Factory in Amsterdam, where Desinteresse took control of the completely analog production. Engineers at The Lullabye Factory assisted with the mixing. Recording took place January and March 2025, except for 'Grijze Dromen' which was recorded in June 2024 and released as a 7" single in August 2024. The overall approach was to create something in the same way it was done in the 1970s and '80s, hence the dedicated use of tape and instruments, effects and amplifiers that come from that era. The titles and lyrics are in their native Dutch. Most of the album's lyrics were written by Sem between 2023 and 2025, with the exception of the song 'Fantomen,' which was written by Bart."

Their widely acclaimed debut, Script of the Bridge (1983) has been cited by many as a masterpiece way ahead of its time, and was followed by What Does Anything Mean? Basically!

Their unique sound quickly won them an audience with its mix of melancholic yet energetic and powerful tunes, hypnotic, ethereal riffs and a potent, timeless lyrical style.

Where Are You? consisted of three new songs, while Tomorrow Remember Yesterday featured five re-recorded archive tracks.

$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 "Released in 1998, Roach & King's vivid world of desert reveries continues to engage new listeners with a sound that rides trails no electronic artist has travelled before or since. Dust to Dust's guitars, harmonicas and washboard rhythms find their place next to a wagon full of electronics on nine tracks revealing the slow heat of wide-open spaces and barren environments. The ambient-blues grows in the cactus shadow swathes of haunting atmospheres and Morricone-like nylon twang flourishes. It's a bold narrative of bygone eras with haunting melodies drawn from the desertscape told with the instruments of old and new pioneers. This is the music, and even more the soundtrack, to lingering ghosts and lost but not forgotten dreams of restless souls driven to 'Go West by God!' It's a transcendent musical masterpiece, an alluring, provocative legend inspired by the rolling tumbleweeds, barren landscape, and hardscrabble lifestyle of the Old West. Alternative Press: 'After looking toward these desert vistas for visions deep within and far beyond the earth, Roach pays homage to the brave souls who forged the hard road west. Joined by fellow Arizonian and guitarist Roger King. Roach's deep synths and King's Kottke-esque guitars sing and moan, allowing the sound to tell the story of an era when pioneers risked everything in pursuit of new worlds and promised fortunes. Like a ghost train winding through layers of memory and history, Dust to Dust has the mystery and allure of 150-year-old photographs of strangers whose eyes and stoic faces suggest a thousand untold stories.'"

$29.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 "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."

FAIRUZ	Sings The Rahbani Brothers: Chat Iskandaria	LP	WEWANTSOUNDS	WWSLP 102LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/12/2025 Wewantsounds reissues Fairuz's classic album Chat Iskandaria released on Relax-in in 1987. The album sees "The Lebanese Diva" going back to her roots and interpreting classic songs by the Rahbani Brothers in her own style accompanied by hypnotic traditional orchestral arrangements. Coming with its original deluxe gatefold sleeve, the album -- curated by Mario Choueiry from Institut du Monde Arabe (Paris), who also wrote the liner notes -- has been newly remastered by Colorsound Studio in Paris. Fairuz is a living legend and one of the greatest divas of the Arab world. For more than sixty years, she has been at the heart of Arabic music, releasing landmark albums since the early '50s and performing on stages around the globe. Fairuz rose to prominence through her collaboration with the Rahbani Brothers (Assi and Mansour), a creative partnership that began in the 1950s and flourished through the 1970s, producing a vast repertoire of timeless songs that remain beloved across the Arab world and beyond. In the late 1970s, Fairuz shifted to a more modern sound with albums such as Wahdon (1979) and Maarifti Feek (1986), produced by her son Ziad Rahbani, blending jazz, funk, and other contemporary influences into her music. However, Chat Iskandaria, released in 1987, marks a return to her classic Rahbani sound, offering a more traditional yet captivating approach to Arabic music. The album sees Fairuz interpreting a selection of Rahbani Brothers compositions in their signature theatrical and orchestral style, with themes ranging from nostalgia and love -- including a heartfelt homage to the city of Alexandria -- to the passage of time, central motifs in much of their work the legendary poet Saïd Akl contributes to two songs, "Min Rawabina Al Kamar" and "Fattehhon Alay." Unlike her more experimental collaborations with Ziad Rahbani, Chat Iskandaria stays firmly rooted in traditional Lebanese and Levantine musical aesthetics. Rich in melody and poetic imagery, it showcases Fairuz at her most evocative, supported by the refined orchestral arrangements that defined her golden era with the Rahbanis. Chat Iskandaria is a must-have for lovers of classical Arabic music and a poignant reminder of the enduring artistic bond between Fairuz and the Rahbani Brothers. Wewantsounds releases the album on vinyl for the first time since its original 1987 release, featuring its beautiful gatefold sleeve, remastered audio and a new bilingual introduction by Mario Choueiry (Institut du Monde Arabe).

JASSS	Eager Buyers	LP	AWOS	AWOS 001LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Spanish-born, Berlin-based artist JASSS, presents her third LP, Eager Buyers. It's the inaugural release on her own new platform called AWOS, which also encompasses musical, AV and art collaborations, live events, and a radio show. Eager Buyers is an observation of longing, of memory, of attempted connection, of lost innocence, and irreconcilable dreams. It's the sound of broken promises for a bright future, where rose-tinted glasses have lost their clarity, dirtied with disaffection over time. Across this sultry, smoky, cinematic epic, JASSS attempts to process mixed feelings amidst the modern malaise. Alluringly atmospheric and cerebral, but bold and direct, with high-spec sound design, JASSS spaces each element with expert definition. Searing swathes of noise nestle with crisp breakbeats, billowing bass, dark ambience, prepared piano, phosphorescent electronics and calibrated percussion. A sort of anti-nostalgia, the record lives in a contemporary purgatory of oblique moods which hover in the psyche, somewhere between uncertainty, foreboding, and guarded anticipation. The raw metal of bass guitar strings plays a key part too, ranging from ornate melodic phrases, shoegazy drones, and attitude-riven hard twangs. Vocals come from JASSS herself, plus James K and Alias Error on the track "It's A Hole." The heavy, hauntological atmospherics are in part due to the addition of field recordings -- the discreet, but spiritually-loaded incidental sounds of a place which can capture its history, with the acoustics somehow retaining an emotional imprint of lives long gone. If pressed for descriptive reference points, "masterfully-produced-post-punk-post-rockbaroque-gothy-dubby-trip-hop" might be a starting point, but that doesn't do it justice. Equally spectral in their dream-like quality are the musical signposts, where genre elements are familiar, but somehow also unplaceable, untethered from context, and beautifully strange in their new composite. At points there's an air of strangely dazed calm too -- a kind of frazzled cool in the face of desolation, and even tender, lighter moments, which glint through the cracks.

PROPAGANDA	Remix Encounters	CD	BUREAU B	BB 482CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Electronic pioneers Propaganda follow up their acclaimed 2024 comeback with Remix Encounters, a broad and brilliant remix album featuring Moby, Tangerine Dream, Rhys Fulber, Schiller, and more. Released on Bureau B, this remix collection reflects the enthusiasm Propaganda's return after three decades of silence has ignited among contemporary artists, who approached the project with fresh energy and creative freedom. "Since breaking new ground with their seminal 1985 debut A Secret Wish and its pioneering remix companion Wishful Thinking, Propaganda have thrived on transformation. Yet rather than revisiting the past, Remix Encounters looks forward, building on the vitality of last year's album and celebrating its widespread critical and fan acclaim. What began as a remix request from Finnish electronic maestro Jori Hulkkonen, returning the favor after Ralf Dörper's contribution to his last album, quickly blossomed into an international collaboration, drawing in luminaries such as Moby, Tangerine Dream, Rhys Fulber (Front Line Assembly, Delerium), and Schiller. Embracing openness, Propaganda spent the fourth quarter of 2024 encouraging the wide range of musicians inspired by their triumphant return to offer their own interpretations. Each brought their distinctive voice to the material, resulting in a thrilling journey through electronic subgenres, from EBM and industrial to rave, ambient, house, and beyond. Rhys Fulber opens the album with a brooding, machine-funk reinvention of 'They Call Me Nocebo,' evolving from a sleek, sinuous introduction into a relentless pneumatic stomp. Next, Schiller offers a powerful remix of 'Distant' that balances raw electro-house and techno energy with the emotional depth of EBM, before Moby transforms 'Purveyor of Pleasure' into a furious early-'90s rave anthem, fusing breakbeats and rolling basslines that pulse with nostalgic urgency yet feel unmistakably modern. Elsewhere, Finnish polymath Jimi Tenor infuses 'Vicious Circle' with cosmic jazz and dub textures, while Pyrolator, a key figure in Düsseldorf's avant-garde scene, delivers a shadowy reinterpretation of 'LoveCraft.' Cult With No Name also contribute a brooding electro-ballad version of the same track. Propaganda's own Michael Mertens teams up with longtime collaborator Hans Steingen to re-envision 'Dystopian Waltz,' shifting its time signature to a gripping 4/4 and intensifying its ominous mood for darker dance floors. The range of remixers speaks volumes: from industrial punks Gewalt and synth purists Metroland to ambient pioneers Tangerine Dream, Remix Encounters unites an eclectic group of electronic artists bound by a shared reverence for innovation and Propaganda's distinctive voice." --Patrick Ryder

IRISARRI, RAFAEL ANTON	A Fragile Geography (10th Anniversary)	LP	BLACK KNOLL EDITIONS	BKE 021LP
$31.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Rafael Anton Irisarri's landmark work reimagined. Marking the tenth anniversary of the American composer's critically acclaimed album A Fragile Geography, this new edition arrives renewed, both sonically and visually. First released in 2015 during a period of personal upheaval and creative reinvention, it endures as a testament to resilience, transformation, and the connection we hold with the places that shape us. Written in the aftermath of a devastating theft, A Fragile Geography was born out of loss. Just days before a cross-country move to New York, Irisarri's entire Seattle-based studio was wiped out. Instruments. Recordings. Archives. Gone without a trace. He arrived on the East Coast to an empty room and the daunting task of starting over. Composed and recorded in the rural woods of the Hudson Valley, the album took shape in seclusion, surrounded by nature, and through a process guided by improvisation. Embracing limitations, Irisarri wove textural layers of field recordings with half-remembered melodies from his Seattle years, piecing them together like fragments of memory. Among its defining sounds is "Empire Systems," a monumental centerpiece built around a simple four-chord progression, organ textures, and guitar drones. Gradually, the track expands into layers of immersive loops and thick, enveloping distortion that wash over the listener like a rolling wave. More than a career highlight, A Fragile Geography has laid the foundation for Black Knoll studio, which Irisarri rebuilt from the ground up. The studio has since grown into a creative hub for countless projects, with Irisarri engineering records for iconic music figures like Terry Riley, Ryuichi Sakamoto, William Basinski, MONO, Devendra Banhart, Grouper, Emeralds, Steve Hauschildt, Julianna Barwick, and many others. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu with exceptional attention to detail, this anniversary edition uncovers every nuance in the sound design, enhancing clarity and presence. With each listen, new elements emerge, inviting discovery and reconnection.

BLUMM & NILS FRAHM, F.S.	Handling	12"	LEITER	LTR 053EP
$34.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 A luminous new chapter in a singular collaboration Handling, Nils Frahm and F.S. Blumm present their fifth collaborative album-an immersive, 40-minute journey across just three tracks that radiate intimacy, invention, and sonic depth. Building on the dub-inflected textures of 2X1=4, the duo now ventures into more delicate, exploratory terrain, where every sound feels intentional and alive. Recorded at Frahm's LEITER studio in Berlin's Funkhaus, Handling is a masterclass in subtlety and sonic storytelling. Each of the three compositions-titled Leuchter-glows with quiet energy, evoking miniature worlds through a rich palette of instruments: pianos, celestas, cristal baschets, glockenspiels, guitars, and a wide array of percussive textures. Blumm and Frahm's long-standing friendship and mutual trust allow for a rare creative freedom. Their contrasting approaches-Blumm's playful chaos and Frahm's structured intuition-merge into a sound that is neither one nor the other, but something entirely new. Handling is not just music-it's a living, breathing sound sculpture, full of warmth, wonder, and the joy of discovery. A must for fans of ambient, experimental, and genre-defying music.

MUM	History of Silence	CD	MORR MUSIC	MORR 206CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 History of Silence is the first full body of work by Icelandic collective múm since 2013's Smilewound (MORR 124CD) and their seventh studio album to date -- recorded, deconstructed, put back together again, refined and finished over the course of two years. Vibrantly oscillating around a carefully curated palette of electronic and analogue sounds, the eight new tracks reflect the group's continuous strive to explore sonic spaces through subtle yet gripping songwriting. For a long time now, múm have been exploring the idea of distance in their music. Founded in Iceland in the late 1990s, the members soon began embarking on journeys across the world. Settling in, moving on, catching up: The concept of distance soon became an integral part of the collective's process. History of Silence leans into this idea, with space and time becoming indispensable pillars of the arrangements. While being coherent and structured, they echo their origins from different seasons, cities, and spaces -- neatly stitched together with unparalleled craftsmanship. On History of Silence time manifests in unexpected, liberating, and mesmerizing ways. It does not move reliably forward; it drifts, takes twists and turns, even disappears completely. Electronic textures blur into acoustic sounds, voices flicker and dissolve, melodies stumble and repeat. The arrangements often feel like they're wandering, gently resisting direction. Work on History of Silence began at Sudestudio in southern Italy. Additional recordings were made in Reykjavík, Berlin, Athens, Helsinki, New York, and Prague. The strings were recorded by Sinfonia Nord at the Hof concert hall, Akureyri, arranged and conducted by Ingi Garðar Erlendsson, who has worked with the band for many years. The orchestral elements don't dominate the record -- instead, they surface gently, adding depth and resonance to the songs without disturbing the songs' fragility. Contrary to what the album title suggests, History of Silence is a collection of bold and colorful songs, no matter how muted they might sound at times. They tickle like a feather drifting through the wind, ending up in unexpected places, stimulating long-forgotten thoughts and feelings, intimate moments of introspection. The songs move through the echoes those moments leave behind: the emotional traces of things unsaid, the weight of stillness. Offering closeness by means of distance and much-needed support. Bless.

GRUPO AMIGOS	Paloma Mensajera	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 474LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Paloma Mensajera (featuring members of New Juggler Sound/Laghonia) shows the shift that was taking place within Peruvian rock away from psych and hard rock which had predominated during the early '70s. The style adopted by Grupo Amigos (and other bands and artists during this period) highlights the influence of soft rock, UK, US and Latin American folk rock and, above all, the desire to keep the melodic greatness of The Beatles alive. The positive reception albums by artists such as We All Together, Telegraph Avenue, and Zulu garnered between 1972 and 1975, marked a change of paradigm and in preferences within the Peruvian rock scene. Eclecticism gained new ground, to the detriment of the sectarian and orthodox, while melody grew more present and visible, moving away from the progressive experimentation that typified underground Peruvian rock up to the beginning of the '70s. For their first single on MAG, included on this reissue, the band adopted a formula in which Beatles harmonies converged symmetrically with folk motifs. "Dirty Girl" was a hit on the radio. A full album followed but only a fairly small number of copies of the album were pressed, which seems to have been the main reason for omitting it from the historical accounts of Peruvian rock music from the late '90s onwards. In Paloma Mensajera all compositions were penned by the group, after several years during which cover versions were a staple. Some of the musical resources that the band had at their disposal in terms of composition and arrangements are striking and even surprising, considering that they were a debut band, whose members were under the age of 20. The arrangements included the clever use of a Moog synthesizer which had just arrived at the MAG studio. The success achieved by the Beatles tribute performances played by the members of Grupo Amigos for decades have eclipsed the songs that Edmundo, Andrés Da Ros, and Simón Ames composed with youthful enthusiasm and energy between 1972 and 1973 to the point where they have almost been forgotten. This re-release of Paloma Mensajera should help rectify this major injustice. It includes bonus tracks and extensive liner notes.

ESKORBUTO	Anti Todo	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 485LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 1985 was a landmark year for punk rock in the Basque country, and possibly for the whole of Spain. Punk merged with the Basque Radical Rock (Rock Radikal Vasco or RRV) movement, although this was not necessarily always the case. For instance, Eskorbuto invariably kept their distance from the movement and everything related to it. Hardship was part and parcel of Eskorbuto's life and musical career. All their albums were recorded in the shortest time imaginable, partly due to tight budgets (studios were expensive, labels were close-fisted), and partly because Josu and Jualma needed to spend the money on other things. When it came to recording Anti Todo, Eskorbuto stuck to what they did best: hitting the studio with as much raw energy, provocation, inspiration, and natural talent as possible. It was their best record and the question is: what would Eskorbuto have been capable of if they had more time, a bigger budget, and tighter control? The song "Tamara" was practically composed on the spot in the studio in less than two recording days, as was much of "Ha llegado el momento." The experienced sound technician did an outstanding job, but a new remastering for this rerelease has given the album the richer, more vibrant sound it always deserved. Listeners can once again enjoy the urgency, simplicity, and rage of this refreshed Anti Todo, a true classic in musical history, originally released in 1985 at Eskorbuto's peak of their creativity and energy. This edition of the album includes a large poster and insert with notes.

VA	Joropop: Psych Pop & Folk in Venezuela, 1968-1976	LP	MUNSTER RECORDS	MR 487LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Welcome to a kaleidoscopic picnic where you can feast on a music scene that was rich, sparkling, multi-colored, ground-breaking and it'll blow your mind. A prodigious soundscape that blends the Caribbean and the Amazon sophistication and flavors; raw yet delicate textures. Joropop: Psych Pop & Folk in Venezuela, 1968-1976 features infectious Latin rock rhythms and timeless folk melodies across 15 ultra-rare tracks -- most of which have never been reissued until now. The golden age of Caracas pop started in 1965. It replaced the wave of cloyingly romantic song writing as fresh talents leant into richer and more complex styles: folk-rock, psychedelia, soul, hard blues, symphonic pop, Latin rock etc. Singer-songwriters, experimental electric guitars and jam sessions all appeared on the scene, creating music that became increasingly refined and free. The industry took a while to catch on to this new trend and leave behind the teen idols and dream lifestyles. By the late '60s, there was a long list of new bands in the capital city. Young people finally found their voice. Featuring El Zigui Y Una Luz, Grupo Espiga, Grupo Syma, La Fe Perdida, Ladies W.C., Los Fabricantes De Muñecas, Los Memphis, La Cuarta Calle, Grupo C.I.M., Grupo Pan, Los Rangers, Los Chicos Malos, Ciruela, The Four Blues, and La Cuarta Calle.

ALIEN DUB ORCHESTRA, THE	Plays the Breadminster Songbook	LP	ALIEN TRANSISTOR	N 102LP
$32.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 The Alien Dub Orchestra is ragtag collective of Bavarian musicians, featuring members of The Notwist and G.Rag y los hermanos Patchekos. The cohort formed around the idea of performing the standards of the fabled Breadminster Songbook, aka the back-catalogue of lone dubman Elijah Minnelli. Minnelli is known for constructing wheezy, forlorn odes to his hometown, both as highly sought-after self-released 7" singles, and a critically-acclaimed debut album, Perpetual Musket for FatCat Records, lauded by the likes of The Guardian, The Wire, and The Quietus. Plays the Breadminster Songbook finds group covering Minnelli's cumbia-infused dub reggae with full band, playing an eclectic array of instruments including: guiro, accordion, melodica, sousaphone, trumpet and assorted percussion. The seeds of the Alien Dub Orchestra were sown during a support gig for The Notwist, where assorted musicians joined Minnelli for an encore, reinterpreting one of his dub remixes across woodwind, brass and assorted percussion. Despite the non-traditional origins of the source material, the inherent musicality of Minnelli's songwriting shines through across his releases, and this creative kinship is what attracted the Orchestra to reimagining his work. The first live collaboration led to recording sessions and further gigs, with the Orchestra building a full set of Minnelli's music. The resulting album puts forward the strongest case yet of the shared musical throughline between the acts, where cumbia, dub and folk sensibilities coalesce to something altogether unique. The tracks are wrought new, with melodies fleshed out and broader instrumentation expanding the sonic possibilities of the compositions. For these dubs, Minnelli is joined by Raimund Wong, who had caught his ear with his ambitious live sets, a daisy chain of tape machines and FX pedals. Again, despite their differing creative processes, the two bonded over a shared love of dub music.

ORCHIDS, THE	Lyceum	CD	CIRCUITRY	PLEXUS 001CD
$14.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Hailing from the suburbs of Glasgow, this five-piece are best known for their three starry-eyed albums on the renowned Sarah Records -- this being an expanded version of their first (an eight-track 10" at the time). By the tail end of the 1980s the independent music scene in the UK was turning its back on the polish and over-indulgence of the mid-'80s with its gated drums and wallpaper production. And those who weren't stretching the boundaries of sonic innovation had tuned back to the post-punk ethos of ramshackle charm and zealous melody, even dousing the spirit with some political fervor once more. Influences were more likely to be Television and the Television Personalities than MTV. The Orchids and The Sea Urchins were the first two bands to release 7" singles on the Sarah label having previously begun their recording existence on a shared flexi disc in 1987 (The Sea Urchins went on to become Delta, whose classic album Slippin' Out from 2000 will be the second release on Circuitry). The Scottish five-piece released I've Got a Habit and Underneath the Window, Underneath the Sink as EPs before really finding their feet with Lyceum; the tracks, remastered from the original Toad Hall tapes are included on this reissue as are the three songs from the "What Will We Do Next?" 7" (this collection closes with the frazzled stretch that is "Yawn"). Lyceum was originally released in August 1989. The album opens with "It's Only Obvious" and its gloriously youthful chorus of "who needs tomorrow when all I need, all I needed was you." James Hackett somehow appears both forthright and rejected, something that one of their musical heroes The Go-Betweens also had down to a fine art. It barely takes a breath until midway through side two where "Hold On" (sounding suspiciously like an unlikely objective) descends into the intro of "Blue Light," the counted-in "1, 2, 3, 4" whispered like the most hopelessly dejected rally.

ORCHIDS, THE	Lyceum	2LP	CIRCUITRY	PLEXUS 001LP
$35.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Double LP version. Hailing from the suburbs of Glasgow, this five-piece are best known for their three starry-eyed albums on the renowned Sarah Records -- this being an expanded version of their first (an eight-track 10" at the time). By the tail end of the 1980s the independent music scene in the UK was turning its back on the polish and over-indulgence of the mid-'80s with its gated drums and wallpaper production. And those who weren't stretching the boundaries of sonic innovation had tuned back to the post-punk ethos of ramshackle charm and zealous melody, even dousing the spirit with some political fervor once more. Influences were more likely to be Television and the Television Personalities than MTV. The Orchids and The Sea Urchins were the first two bands to release 7" singles on the Sarah label having previously begun their recording existence on a shared flexi disc in 1987 (The Sea Urchins went on to become Delta, whose classic album Slippin' Out from 2000 will be the second release on Circuitry). The Scottish five-piece released I've Got a Habit and Underneath the Window, Underneath the Sink as EPs before really finding their feet with Lyceum; the tracks, remastered from the original Toad Hall tapes are included on this reissue as are the three songs from the "What Will We Do Next?" 7" (this collection closes with the frazzled stretch that is "Yawn"). Lyceum was originally released in August 1989. The album opens with "It's Only Obvious" and its gloriously youthful chorus of "who needs tomorrow when all I need, all I needed was you." James Hackett somehow appears both forthright and rejected, something that one of their musical heroes The Go-Betweens also had down to a fine art. It barely takes a breath until midway through side two where "Hold On" (sounding suspiciously like an unlikely objective) descends into the intro of "Blue Light," the counted-in "1, 2, 3, 4" whispered like the most hopelessly dejected rally. If that sounds depressing it isn't. This record by The Orchids was a spirited source of comfort for an 18-year-old at the time and still shudders with the best type of melancholy, one that's spirited not indulgent. If you're not familiar with the band's charm, this is where you should begin.

FRUIT DISTRO COLLECTIVE	Just.Life.	LP	RECORDS WE RELEASE RECORDS	RWRR 002LP
$30.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Just. Life. is FDC's second endeavor after their 2022 debut Some Kind Of Wisdom. The A-side draws inspiration from everyday life. Things that are often overlooked. Birds whistling. Just being somewhere spending time together. Whereas the first four tracks open up a can of playful jazz the B-side explores more heavy conceptualizations. Birth and love for a child and the passing of a friend. Life and death. The cyclicity of it all. Fruit Distro Collective is a project by long-time friends Boris van der Hoff and Tristan Coco. Raised on boombap beats, schooled through jazz composition and inspired by Afro and Latin styles. Pour some reel-to-reel tape sauce over it et voilá.

LOS ZHEROS	Psychedelic Cumbia Party	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 325LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 This compilation brings together for the first time the best songs by Los Zheros, one of the most renowned cumbia bands to emerge in the early 1970s in Iquitos -- alongside groups like Los Rogers and Los Wemblers -- in the heart of Peru's Amazon capital. The unique Amazonian sound blended fast, percussive cumbia rhythms with electric guitars in a surf style -- a distinctive fusion that came to define Peruvian-recorded cumbia, markedly different from the traditional cumbia styles that developed in other cumbia-producing countries like Colombia. The album includes their psychedelic rock hit "Cuarto Oscuro," a highly sought-after track not only by cumbia collectors but also by garage and psychedelic DJs. This song also marked the beginning of their recording career in 1973. This compilation is a joint release with the Peruvian label Rey Record and comes with an insert featuring never- before-seen photos of the band, as well as liner notes by genre expert Víctor Zela (the mind behind the prestigious project La Cumbia de mis Viejos).

RANIL Y SU CONJUNTO TROPICAL	Sonido Amazonico	LP	VAMPISOUL	VAMPI 328LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/19/2025 Ranil is undoubtedly the most unconventional figure among the greats of Amazonian cumbia, earning a well-deserved place alongside all the better-known iconic bands. He worked as a teacher, criollo guitarist, radio host, TV entrepreneur, and politician, but gained lasting fame as the founder of Ranil y Su Conjunto Tropical in the 1970s. By 1968, around the same time Los Destellos were making waves in Lima, groups like Los Wembler's de Iquitos and Juaneco y su Combo began electrifying cumbia in Iquitos. This new genre, dubbed Amazonian cumbia, exploded nationwide in 1973, thanks to hits by Juaneco y su Combo, Los Mirlos, and Los Wembler's. The success these bands achieved spawned dozens of other groups from the Amazon. Ranil, always a visionary, recognized the movement's potential and joined forces through his first single recorded on the Dinsa label in 1974. Unhappy with the contractual terms, he went on to found Producciones Llerena, the label on which he would release the rest of his discography. Over the years, Ranil y su Conjunto Tropical featured guitarists like Límber Zumba and Luis Nigro, while Ranil remained the lead vocalist and bassist for group. Zumba and Nigro had already played with other regional bands and written songs for groups like Los Destellos and Los Mirlos. This compilation offers a glimpse into the vast musical output Ranil created in the late 1970s and early 1980s, bringing together 14 tracks from the band's ten LPs. These records have always been hard to come by as, despite being recorded in Lima, they were distributed by Ranil from Iquitos. Psychedelia, rock fusion, cumbia, salsa, mambo, Amazonian folk -- you'll find all these flavors blended into the vibrant, jungle-rich sound Ranil crafted.

HANGING STARS, THE	Over The Silvery Lake	LP	CRIMSON CROW	CRO 003LP
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/26/2025 Long overdue reissue of the first album by The Hanging Stars. Initial 300 copies come with 12"x12" print. London-based psych-folk outfit The Hanging Stars re-release their much-loved debut album Over the Silvery Lake on Crimson Crow. Blending folk pastoralism with swampy '60s Americana, they sound like the missing link between the California desert sun and the grey skies of London Town. The album was recorded between LA, Nashville and Walthamstow, with each of these vastly different places leaving an indelible mark on the songs. Now signed to the Loose Records label and fronted by London-based songwriter, singer and guitarist Richard Olson (The See See, Eighteenth Day of May), The Hanging Stars are essentially a loose collective of people who weave together a blissed-out psychedelic tapestry. The rest of the core band is made up of Sam Ferman on bass and Paulie Cobra on drums, Horse on pedal steel and Patrick Ralla on banjo, guitar. They jam rather than write and hang out rather than rehearse, harnessing a kind of tipsy euphoria resplendent with luscious arrangements and glorious vocal harmonies. There are a number of allusions to nature and the weather on the album, borne in part out of the contrasting surroundings in which it was produced. The band's fascination with Americana led them to record some of the material Stateside, laying down some of the parts at Battle Tapes Studios in Nashville, as well as at Vision Quest Studios in Los Angeles with Rob Campanella. Following the LA recordings, a trip to the Californian desert provided the core notion of what they wanted to produce -- a shard of light that they clung on to whilst recording the rest of the album in the significantly more rain-soaked atmosphere of Walthamstow, London, under the watchful eye of Brian O'Shaughnessy at Bark Studios. The Hanging Stars place themselves firmly as part of a long folk tradition encompassing European and North American influences -- as a continuation rather than a pastiche of these styles. This is the sound of a band really coming in to their own, fully formed and in no doubt of their vision. With Over the Silvery Lake they succeeded in producing a record, which has the country, blues and folk traditions at its heart.

BISHOP, SIR RICHARD	Hillbilly Ragas	CD	DRAG CITY	DC 956CD
$13.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/26/2025 "The shaman of the six-string is back. Waving his axe of choice, Sir Richard Bishop once again summons forth damnable truth and beauty on an all-new musical kamikaze run through histories both written and -- as of yet -- not commonly known. Since the dying days of the 20th century, the composer/player of spirited polytheistic guitar recitals including Salvador Kali, Improvika, The Freak of Araby, Tangier Sessions, and most recently, Oneiric Formulary has worked feverishly to wrench and wrangle all the music that has and can possibly fall out of the guitar from east to west. With Hillbilly Ragas, Sir Rick stretches his callused hands across the waters to draw diverse musics back to his shack with the gladiatorial bloodthirst and balance of gravitas and jocosity listeners can expect from him in every hot little moment of play. But there's more to be said than these merely glib rantings as to what happens when traditional music heads for the hillbillies:" "There were a few different approaches I utilized for this release. First and foremost, I wanted to go back to basics, to strip away any excesses and keep it as simple as possible: one man, one acoustic guitar, no overdubs, no effects, no electricity. Taking several cues from the sounds most often associated with the so-called American Primitive guitar style, I wanted to avoid any traditional approaches and instead try something more-raw and aggressive, concentrating more on rhythm and movement as opposed to anything predictable or overly melodic, while also keeping my particular interpretive ideas about East Indian Raga in the mix. I've always felt that the majority of what is considered to be American Primitive music, while certainly based on historical American musical traditions, never really had any sounds that I personally thought of as being primitive -- it always seemed too orderly, too developed, and too safe? During the recording process I was envisioning an undiscovered mountain man or "hillbilly" who had remained hidden in his own private backwoods; one who never learned, or even heard about, any traditional musical canon that he was expected to work within. So what we have here with Hillbilly Ragas are nine pieces for solo acoustic guitar, each one representing a different excursion into the dark woods -- the untamed explorations of a musical loner, an outsider, maybe even an undesirable, embodying a peculiar folklore and turning it into sound -- creating his own folk music in the process. He's still out there, fueled by moonshine, his supernatural surroundings, and a fuck-all attitude!" --Richard Bishop, 2025

ZJACA, RATKO	Touching Minds	LP	IN AND OUT RECORDS	IOR 771611LP
$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 9/26/2025 "Ratko Zjaca is back with a very distinctive world music project that finds the Croatian-born guitarist and long-time resident of Rotterdam interacting with musicians from Romania, England and India. The results of his 18th outing as a leader or co-leader are staggeringly beautiful and full of improvisational daring. Joined by Romanian cimbalom player Marius Preda, who is widely regarded as the world's first jazz soloist on that trapezoidal stringed instrument that is the distant cousin of a hammered dulcimer, along with British-born upright bassist Nick McGuire and the innovative, groundbreaking percussionist Trilok Gurtu, Zjaca and his interactive crew strike an uncanny accord on the eight delightful originals presented on Touching Minds. With Zjaca bringing in all the compositions and Preda doing the arranging, they recruited McGuire for his rock-solid fundamental bass work. They next brought in Bombay-born Gurtu, an acclaimed master of the tabla who has also developed an abundance of chops over the decades on a hybrid drumming kit he designed and pioneered through his collaborations with John McLaughlin, Joe Zawinul, Bill Laswell, Jonas Hellborg, Jack Bruce, Terje Rydpal, Oregon, the Arkè String Quartet and many others. Throughout Touching Minds, Gurtu brings the groove while also coloring the proceedings with nuanced shadings. 'I wanted a new sound for this album and the tabla and cimbalom together moved it all to a new spectrum. And when you have two of world's best players on their respective instruments, which Trilok and Marius are, you have some very special ingredients to make some incredible music,' Zjaca says. While he may have soaked up the influences of countless guitarists he has listened to and emulated at different times over the years, from Joe Pass and Jim Hall to John McLaughlin and Pat Metheny, he described his guiding principle throughout Touching Minds as: 'I play what I hear and what the music asks of me at that moment.'"

GLASS, PHILIP	The Complete Piano Etudes (Performed by Vanessa Wagner)	2CD	INFINE	IF 1099CD
$24.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/10/2025 "After more than thirty years of working with and performing the great repertoire, the music of Philip Glass has, in a way, almost revolutionized my life as a musician," confides Vanessa Wagner. An emblematic artist on the French music scene, winner of a Victoire de la musique award and director of the Chambord and Giverny festivals, Vanessa Wagner is as inspired in her interpretation of Mozart, Debussy, Tchaikovsky, and Dusapin as she is alongside Murcof and Rone. With her innovative and daring approach, she has established herself as a major influence on the classical music landscape, crossing boundaries and blazing inspiring trails. For InFiné, she has dedicated four albums to the major figures of this movement, John Adams, Meredith Monk, Brian Eno, and Ryūichi Sakamoto, as well as to the new generation Caroline Shaw, Bryce Dessner, and Nico Muhly. After giving numerous concerts based on these works, she felt the need to record in their entirety this essential monument in the history of music, which bridges the gap between the 20th and 21st centuries: Philip Glass's 20 Etudes for piano by Philip Glass. His approach helps to place these two books in the great repertoire, alongside the great cycles of studies by Ligeti, Debussy, Dusapin, and before them, Chopin and Liszt. The thread linking Philip Glass to Vanessa Wagner may be as simple as a detail: a moment, a pedagogy, a way of looking at the piano. In Words Without Music, Glass recalls his apprenticeship with Nadia Boulanger in Paris -- a lesson in rigorous received just as the Nouvelle Vague was about to shatter the conventions of cinema the conventions of cinema, just as the composers of the minimalist movement had done with the language of music. Nurtured by Ravel and Debussy, the great French pedagogue disciplined yet inquisitive minds, capable of embracing modernity without denying modernity without denying their heritage. The Complete Piano Etudes of Philip Glass is also available for the first time on vinyl, housed in a 4LP Box set (IF 1099LP).

$36.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/10/2025 Essential Liverpool psychedelic folk collective mapping their territory with a record rooted in place and memory. Professor Yaffle have created their most focused and expansive work yet. Following acclaimed previous releases, Everyone Wants to Dream finds the band at their creative peak. The album turns on Everton Brow -- an unremarkable Liverpool hill offering the city's finest view. Rogers returns to this vantage point throughout eight tracks, using it as both setting and metaphor for looking back on life without nostalgia. From here, you can see the Mersey stretch toward Snowdonia, the city spread below like a living map. "Lost in a Dream (On Everton Brow)" weaves Lee Roger's lyrics as an eighteen-year-old lyrics with newly composed music. "Everyone Wants to Dream" confronts the disorientation when your children grow and your role shifts. "On Top of the World" becomes what Rogers calls "a stoned love letter to Liverpool." This is Professor Yaffle's first release with Violette Records, marking the beginning of a partnership between two Liverpool entities who've circled each other for years before finding their moment. Featuring a 1979 Karl Hughes photograph of a policeman surveying Liverpool from Everton Brow, capturing something essential about the record: that those who maintain order might dream the biggest dreams of all. For fans of: CSNY, Tim Buckley, Talk Talk, The Byrds, Sufjan Stevens, Love, Tame Impala, Nick Drake.

ELEKTRO GUZZI	Liquid Center	2LP	PALAZZO RECORDINGS	PALAZZO 012LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 10/24/2025 Elektro Guzzi return with their 11th studio album, Liquid Center -- more focused than ever, yet more sonically open. The album presents the trio on a new level: their sense of precision and structure meets an unexpected depth and warmth. The sound is more restrained, more subtle -- and in this way, it gains even more presence. What stands out: this album sounds different. And it feels different too. Over the course of a year, the band developed a recording technique that translates their analog live energy into a sonic image that captures both the physicality of a band in space and the cool abstraction of techno. The result is a sound that doesn't seek loudness, but detail -- clear, warm, deep, and with an almost artificial precision. Liquid Center is not a loose collection of tracks but a coherent album experience. With every listen, it opens up a little more: a new texture, a shifted perspective, another layer emerging from the space between groove and sound. Maybe it's the music that's changing. Or maybe it's just the way you hear it.

ELLINGTON, DUKE	Sentimental Swing: 1927-53	LP	ACROBAT	ACRSLP 1673LP
$26.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/31/2025 Delayed... "Duke Ellington was one of the most important and influential figures in the entire history of jazz, as pianist, bandleader, composer and innovator, his career spanned the evolution from the early days of electric recording. However, while critics and commentators focus on his over-arching significance as a giant of the medium, it's easy to forget that he was a genius at composing tune and songs for the medium of the three-minute, 78rpm single, and during the first three decades of his career before rock 'n' roll changed the pop landscape irrevocably, he had more than 70 records that were credited as chart hits. The Duke himself preferred not to have his work referred to as 'jazz' but liked people to see it as he himself saw it, as being 'beyond category,' simply 'American music.' In a career lasting six decades, he attracted the very best musicians to his orchestras, and gifted to the world many of the jazz standards we know and love today This LP brings together some of his most iconic compositions, including timeless classics such as the Billboard R&B No.1 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore,' alongside stalwarts of the jazz canon 'Mood Indigo,' 'Sophisticated Lady,' 'Solitude,' 'Caravan,' 'Take The 'A' Train,' and 'It Don't Mean A Thing (If You Ain't Got That Swing).' It's a fantastic insight into his most successful output during a primary era of his career, and a great showcase for the artistry which made the Duke such a revered and iconic personality."

PERRY, LEE 'SCRATCH'	Black Ark	Book	PATRICK FREY EDITION	9783907236666
$65.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/3/2026 Delayed until 2026... "A massive photographic archive of Lee 'Scratch' Perry's legendary recording studio. A 600-page tribute to one of the most famous locales in music history, Black Ark is a detailed inventory of photographs and writings from the Black Ark Studios in Kingston, Jamaica, where producer Lee 'Scratch' Perry created music from 1973 onward. The eclectic and constantly evolving decoration of the studio provides an enduring visual counterpart to Perry's expansive musical catalog. From mural paintings to shape-shifting assemblages of records, instruments, found objects, posters and newspaper clippings, the artworks layer upon one another as they intertwine with the studio building itself. Perry created his own dense and diverse world in which to work: memorialized in this volume before the Black Ark disappears for good. The photographic documentation of the studio in the spring of 2021 was supplemented by efforts to secure and preserve Perry's works, objects and recordings as part of a joint project with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC. Black Ark reflects the rhythm and layering effects of collage both in its content and the materials used to craft the book. Perry was involved in the development of this publication until his death in August 2021. The book closes with memorial essays from Ishion Hutchinson, David Katz, Kodwo Eshun, and John Corbett. Lee 'Scratch' Perry (1936-2021) was a musician and producer best known for pioneering the dub genre in the 1970s. He worked with well-known Jamaican artists such as Bob Marley and the Wailers, the Heptones, the Congos, and Max Romeo. In 2003 he won a Grammy Award for Best Reggae Album."
