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

"Smug Brothers' music has been cutting through the indie noise for more than two decades, driven by the ever-evolving chemistry of singer/guitarist Kyle Melton and drummer Don Thrasher (Guided by Voices, Swearing at Motorists), and their slew of highly collectible LPs, CDs, and cassettes. Smug Brothers' newest release, Gravity Is Just A Way To Fall, does that for you, arriving on the heels of both a new record and an increasing number of shows, festival spots, and Melton's own recording finesse. Like Heartless Bastards, Cloud Nothings, or Times New Viking, Smug Brothers burst out of Ohio in the mid-2000s with a scrappy, lo-fi sound that only hinted at the head-bobbing greatness to come. Thank the indie gods, then, that they've chosen a tight 13 songs for the LP version of Gravity that showcase their mastery with a rotating cast of Ohioans (most of them sporting their own worthy musical projects, including Kyle Sowash, Brian Baker, and Marc Betts). This is deeply satisfying music that demands a cold beer, a sunset view, and your loudest speakers (headphones are OK for second listens). Fiercely DIY in spirit and deceptively straightforward in sonics, the tracklist on Gravity captures a band that's still getting more creative and confident -- see Melton's recent, aforementioned engineering and mixing triumphs on beloved analog gear -- while staying rooted in the rich soil of the Buckeye State. There's precious little these days that doesn't feel alternately niche or blandly calibrated. But on Gravity, you hear an honest-to-God band soaring on killer hooks, lyrics, and beats while embracing rock fundamentals. It would be easy to name-drop Ohio influences or inspirations -- forebears or peers such as The Breeders, Brainiac, and Afghan Whigs -- but Smug Brothers justifies them handily, and one listen to Gravity shows you why their hand-crafted musical world and boundless exploration have made them a pillar of Midwestern rock, under-the-radar or not." --John Wenzel

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

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

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

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

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

"On June 16, 2025, I saw this UK Subs multi-track demo tape for sale on eBay, of all places. I got it and sent a photo of the front cover of the tape box, which informs the back cover of this 12" to Pete Davies to see what he might remember. He said it looked legit. I took the tape to Infrasonic Sound, a great studio in Nashville, Tennessee and asked engineer Pete Lyman if he could transfer the tape. Days later, he sent Ian MacKaye and I a rough mix of the session. I was stoked to hear that three of the four tracks were unreleased. I contacted Ian and suggested we take the tracks to Don Zientara's Inner Ear Studios in Arlington, Virginia (where we made our first records decades ago) to mix them. On September 30 there we were with Don. Due to the tracks being so well recorded, and the band playing so incredibly, our first mix began to take shape very quickly. Part way into the session, Eddie Janney (Untouchables, Faith, Rites Of Spring, One Last Wish, Happy Go Licky, Skewbald) arrived to sit in and we had another Subs fan in attendance. Together, we finished mixing the last two tracks. We brought the mixes to Pete Lyman for mastering. I wrote Charlie and asked his permission to unleash the tracks and he said go ahead. So, here we are with three unreleased UK Subs tunes and a new mix of 'Same Thing.' Studio kicks, indeed! These songs are finally where they should be -- with you." --Henry

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

Blue Hour is the most recent release from Friday Night Plans, recently signed by Modern Obscure Music. The project marks FNP's shift from their "pop" roots towards a more experimental and ambient sound. Friday Night Plans is pioneered by singer/songwriter Masumi who has collaborated on this project with acclaimed Japanese producer Ena. Together, they have created a collection of songs that represents the quiet introspection and emotions of the AM hours, using improvisation during the production process to create a cyclical record that is described as "dreamlike." Masumi attributes the project to a journey consisting of fragments of memory through each song; a reflection of how nostalgia and recollection connects listeners to emotions.

Digitalism's new album, Optimism. The German electronic pioneers spread the urgent energy of Optimism with their album and live performances. A DIY spirit, in-the-moment energy and a low boredom threshold -- all have been crucial to Digitalism's practice since they built their first track in a studio inside a WWII bunker in Hamburg, 20 years ago. Optimism is the logical consequence of the band's steady development.

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

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

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

Double LP version. "The album was recorded over three days whilst the Heads were rehearsing for a couple of live dates with their friends, and peers, Mudhoney. The guitars, drums and bass were laid down live in Bristol, over-dubs added and then mixed/produced by John McBain in Portland. Initially planned as two single albums, (Volumes 1+2) it soon made sense that they should be put together as a double LP. Named in a nod to the Stooges' Raw Power classic 'Your Pretty Face Is Going To Hell,' it describes the trajectory everyone is on. The Heads are renowned for their brutalist take on psychedelic rock, this new album shows how much they have absorbed from their years of existence, their peers and the world around them. Not much change though, they haven't mellowed out. The pummel is there, the spaced out sike zones are there, there's wigged out guitar solos that will peel the paint off the walls, there's even pop songs if you look/listen hard enough. John McBain has done a grand job in fine tuning the noise and sonic assault. It's hard to draw a direct 'for fans of' list, because ultimately this album is for fans of the Heads. However, you can trace the DNA of this album back to the Stooges, Hawkwind, 13th Floor Elevators, Can, Mudhoney, Monster Magnet, Loop, Spacemen 3, MC5 etc. all squeezed through the Head's heavy sonic blender."

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

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

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

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

WRWTFWW Records presents their fifth archival release taken from cult Tokyo label Form@ Records' catalogue, this time with the first-ever vinyl edition of Re-Form Ver-1.0. The remarkable, yet not widely known, 1999 remix compilation is now available as a limited edition 45rpm cut double LP housed in a heavyweight sleeve. Originally only available on CD in extremely limited quantities, Re-Form Ver-1.0 resurfaces as a fascinating document of Form@ Records' late-1990s creative peak. Re-imagining key pieces from the label's catalogue, the remix collection offers a rare glimpse into Tokyo's electronic underground, where techno, house, ambient, and IDM breathe freely through Form@'s soulful and exploratory vision. Throughout, the compilation balances dancefloor sensibility with introspective listening, embodying the warm human approach to machine music the label excels in. Another essential time capsule from a crucial era of underground music, Re-Form Ver-1.0 echoes the spirit of Warp's Artificial Intelligence era, alongside the forward-thinking energy of Ken Ishii, Carl Craig, The Black Dog, and Ian O'Brien, while keeping its feet and individuality firmly rooted in local context -- the magic recipe for creating a universal, timeless language of electronic expression. Featuring Missing Project, Virgo, Tensor, Penance, and Led-M.

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

Delayed further... until June 2026.."Pioneering media artist and concrete poet Ferdinand Kriwet's 1971 cult artist's book in a facsimile edition. A monumental, three-volume encyclopedia of alphabetically organized images, Ferdinand Kriwet: Stars was first published by Kiepenheuer & Witsch in 1971. In the 1960s, German author and media artist Ferdinand Kriwet (1942-2018), inspired by concrete poetry and its interest in the visual quality of linguistic signs, began to approach the literary medium of the book in a new way. Imagining new ways of reading that resisted linearity, Kriwet experimented with alternatives, encouraging a rapid back-and-forth between the pages of the book and the texts and images on them. In Stars, he treats images like words and arranges them in alphabetical order in an epic encyclopedia format. For years, Stars has only been available, at considerable cost, in antiquarian book catalogs. This new facsimile edition of Ferdinand Kriwet: Stars brings Kriwet's pioneering vision and his seminal book back into print." 416 pages. 2.5 pounds. 5.50(w) x 8.75(h).

"Step back in time to the dawn of a legend with this essential Johnny Cash collection. This LP is a powerful showcase of the early years that forged his timeless sound, drawing from his iconic tenure at Sun Records and his pivotal transition to Columbia. It captures the raw energy and storytelling that made him the 'Man in Black'. You'll find the very foundation of his sound here, from the stark emotional weight of 'So Doggone Lonesome' to the iconic rhythm of 'I Walk The Line'. The collection perfectly encapsulates his early hits that defined an era, including 'Train Of Love', 'Next In Line', and the rockabilly spirit of 'Home Of The Blues'. It's a journey through the evolution of a country music giant, covering his signature boom-chicka-boom beat and his earliest forays into poignant narratives. The album is a masterclass in songwriting, blending humor and heartbreak with timeless tales. Experience the powerful narrative of 'Big River' and the cinematic scope of 'Don't Take Your Guns To Town'. This collection also showcases his lyrical versatility, from the heart-wrenching balladry of 'The Ways Of A Woman In Love' to the straightforward swagger of 'What Do I Care'. You'll also hear his more rockabilly-infused style on tracks like 'Come In Stranger' and the defiant spirit of 'I Got Stripes'."

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

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

Beginning his career in the 1960s as a vocalist, he soon transitioned into production, becoming an important contributor to Jamaica's golden era of reggae throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

His production credits include notable releases such as The War Is On, as well as key tracks like Dennis Brown's 'Money in My Pocket' and Horace Andy's 'You Are My Angel.'

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Five years after their radiant debut UFO Bar, Italian cinematic funksters Banda Maje are back with Costa Sud to take listeners deeper into their land of 'Salifornia' -- a Southern province of sun-drenched coastlines and decaying buildings where dreams of exotic escapism sprout and bloom. Once again, behind the eight tracks in the album -- and behind the wheel of the fiery red Alfasud on the cover -- is composer and keyboardist Peppe Maiellano. He has meticulously tailored each piece to his virtuoso partners in crime: a 'family' of exuberant musicians spread between Salerno and Naples, all bound by deep-rooted ties to the region and a shared belief in the grit of independent artistry. The Costa Sud (South Coast) imagined by Banda Maje is a shimmering ribbon of sun-baked asphalt stretched between the sea and the ancient pine forests of the Gulf of Salerno. It is a land of enchanting but wounded places, where the grace of Ancient Greek civilization sits in a restless silence alongside the scars of rampant building and neglect. Conceived and recorded entirely in Southern Italy, the album nevertheless looks beyond the horizon. While Neapolitan funk and golden-age Italian soundtracks remain the double helix of the band's DNA, this album welcomes new influences from across the ocean, weaving Italy, Brazil, Africa, and contemporary sounds into its unique vision of the 'global South.'"

"In the early 1970s, Milan was a city defined by a restless, creative energy. Its recording studios hummed with activity day and night, populated by an elite circle of jazz-trained session musicians who split their time between tracking dates in the studio and jam sessions in the city's clubs. Among them was Giancarlo Barigozzi, one of the most revered flautists and saxophonists of the scene, who was just then beginning to navigate the enigmatic world of library music. The Barigozzi Group -- formed alongside guitarist Sergio Farina and pianist Oscar Rocchi, both fellow session musicians -- became a defining ensemble of Italian library. Commissioned by publishers in Milan and Rome, they produced some of the most exquisite library LPs of all time, records that effortlessly translated the spirit of the era into sound. Of these, Woman's Colours stands as arguably their most iconic and celebrated achievement. Originally released in 1974 on the Fonovideo label under the artistic supervision of Fabio Fabor, the album is a cohesive, organic exploration of a single theme: a refined tribute to the female form, with every track associating a specific color with a different part of the body ('Violet Lips,' 'Green Nails,' 'Lilac Arms,' etc.). While the subtitle 'Pop Jazz -- Pianoforte Elettronico Wurlitzer' might suggest a simple affair, the reality is a surprisingly rich and layered sonic universe. Here, jazz-funk and jazz-rock intertwine with echoes of Afrorhythms, exotica, and bossa nova. The result is a vibrant mosaic of fusion and lounge, where driving basslines, fuzz guitars, Fender Rhodes, and prog-leaning flutes create a soundscape that balances elegance and groove in equal measure. Over the decades, the record has attained true cult status, cherished by successive generations of dedicated collectors and listeners. It is now recognized as essential to the very definition of the Italian psycho-beat sound, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the likes of I Marc 4 and Alessandro Alessandroni, while remaining a foundational milestone for acid-jazz and funk enthusiasts. Above all, it is a rare example of a library record so consistent and fluid that the listening journey, from start to finish, remains entirely seamless. Today, Woman's Colours is finally available again in its first official reissue, and for the first time in digital format. Presented by Four Flies Records, this edition features a premium tip-on sleeve and meticulously restored artwork by Eric Adrian Lee."

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

"The Heartbreakers' D.T.K ('Down To Kill') is the incendiary live 1977 companion to L.A.M.F..

Reissued as part of the 50th Anniversary of Punk celebrations -- this line-up of the Heartbreakers was formed in summer 1976 when Billy Rath replaced Richard Hell on bass, with their debut gig famously reviewed by Nancy Spungeon in New York Rocker. Originally first released in 1982 as a 10-track album it was remixed in 2005 and five more tracks were found on the multi-track tapes. Now the album has the entire two sets played that night, 15 unexpurgated tracks in all. Limited edition in YELLOW vinyl. The sleeve has notes by journalist Kris Needs and contemporary photos."

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

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

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

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

Hardcover, 524 pages. "In the mid-1990s, Mason Jones of Charnel Music edited and published four thick, annual issues of Ongaku Otaku magazine. Operating from San Francisco, California, Mason's goal was to spread the word about the compelling independent music being produced in Japan. With dozens of interviews and articles, and many hundreds of reviews, the magazine was an influential voice, sharing words about Aube, Cornelius, Yamamoto Seiichi (Boredoms, Rovo, Omoide Hatoba), Shizuka, Jojo Hiroshige (Hijokaidan, Alchemy Records), MeltBanana, Ruins, KK Null, and many more. This facsimile edition brings the original pages to readers three decades later. Mason Jones has run the Charnel Music label since 1988, and has released many albums, both as a solo artist recording as Trance and as a member of SubArachnoid Space, Numinous Eye, and Collision Stories. He began visiting Japan regularly in the early '90s and arranged U.S. shows for many artists from Japan. Ongaku Otaku was a labor of love aided by many contributors to whom he remains grateful.

Running from 1989 to 1991, its six issues focused on the independent home recording community -- artists who had developed their craft in the post-punk DIY era. The contributors were nearly all members of the hometaper community. The magazine featured articles providing helpful tips and highlighted the challenges hometapers faced. It included insightful artist and label profiles. And it could be a hotbed of controversy and debate. Though its mission was to serve the hometaper community, Electronic Cottage's coverage of independent music contributed as much as any of the era's publications. The 468 pages produced stand as crucial documents of an era that was melting into the next. Foreword by Jerry Kranitz, author of Cassette Culture: Homemade Music and the Creative Spirit in the PreInternet Age. Design by Studio Bertin."

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

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

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

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

Throughout the year M-Plant's Perpetual Masters series has been releasing one track per week from Robert Hood's extensive music archive, remastered by legendary German producer, Thomas Heckmann. Originally released in 1999 on the Duet imprint, Robert Hood's Sophisticcato stands as a concise but potent example of his late-'90s minimal techno philosophy. Built around four tracks, including the title cut, "The First Night" and two versions of "Cobra Seed", the record features his signature approach with stripped-back drum patterns and hypnotic loops that prioritize rhythm over unnecessary embellishment. Lean and functional, with subtle shifts, it represents Hood's belief that minimal elements, precisely arranged, can achieve maximum impact on the dance floor.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Green Wagon is the culmination of a musical collaboration between three friends from diverse backgrounds. Recorded in 2012, this album marks the first trio project by Guadeloupe pianist Jonathan Jurion, accompanied by his drummer friend, 2025 Victoires du Jazz winner Arnaud Dolmen, and Cuban bassist Damian Nueva. The title Green Wagon evokes a shared space, a kind of sonic vehicle where Caribbean, Afro-Cuban, and modern New York jazz influences intersect. Each piece is an exploration of the roots and rhythms that unite the three musicians, blending tradition and innovation. The compositions, both personal and collective, allow for great freedom of improvisation, creating a fluid and organic musical flow. Through Green Wagon, Jonathan, Arnaud, and Damian weave an intimate, sincere musical conversation deeply rooted in their respective histories. The album is a bridge between cultures, a creative encounter full of energy and emotion. Thirteen years later, Arnaud Dolmen's Samana Production label finally releases this superb album.

DVD is NTSC, region free. "Ten years in the making, Brion Gysin's Dreamachine is being released by Soleilmoon Recordings, in cooperation with The Hafler Trio and Simply Superior. Gysin was a British-born Canadian painter and illustrator, best known for discovering 'cut-up' writing, the technique made famous by William S. Burroughs. With the assistance of Ian Sommerville, Gysin invented the Dreamachine, which at its essence is a rotating cylinder with a light hanging inside it. The user sits or stands in front of it, very near, with eyes closed. As it rotates, slots cut in the side allow flashes of light to hit the user's eyelids 8 or 13 times per second, matching the rate of Alpha waves produced by the brain during meditation or the early stages of sleep. The inspiration for the Dreamachine came to Gysin when he was traveling by bus along a road lined with tall trees. It was a transformational moment in Gysin's life, and the first Dreamachine was created in 1961, after more than two years of experimentation and tinkering. The package released by Soleilmoon includes a fully functional Dreamachine, designed to Brion Gysin's specifications, printed and diecut on sturdy, flexible and long-lasting vinyl. It's ready for use, right out of the box. Simply connect the overlapping velcro-lined edges, center the cylinder on an LP, lock it in place with a few pieces of sticky tape and then place it on a turntable, preferably one that can rotate at 78 RPM, although 45 RPM will work, too. Hang a lightbulb inside, then seat yourself near the rotating cylinder, close your eyes and wait for the dreamstate to be induced. An accompanying book includes three essays written by Andrew McKenzie, excerpts from a previously unpublished 1980 interview with Brion Gysin, and extensive notes on the dreamachine itself, written by McKenzie. The DVD contains four distinct sections, beginning with 'Pirate TV,' a 45 minute documentary film produced by Rabotnik TV and first aired in Amsterdam in 1988. This program was later released on VHS video by Staalplaat and Soleilmoon. Next is 'Aorta,' a short documentary on the first public exhibition of the Dreamachine 1988, in Amsterdam. Andrew McKenzie's 2008 lecture at CPH:DOX Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen follows. At the conclusion of the lecture the camera cuts an adjoining room where several Dreamachines are operating. The final section of the DVD features three audio-visual pieces, with sound composed by Andrew McKenzie. All of the audio material on the DVD is intended to be played on a 5.1 surround system, but is compatible with stereo equipment."

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

"Robin Storey, recording as Rapoon since 1992, has more than one hundred albums in his discography. His music pulls inspiration from Eastern traditions, merging rhythms, electronics, samples and instruments into captivating ambient soundtracks that defy easy categorization. Asked about this project, Robin says 'I have long been interested in comic book art and when Matt contacted me about a collaboration I was immediately interested. He sent me some frames and I was blown away by the artwork. I found that adding a musical score to the drawings and the story outline came very naturally as I identified very much with the character and the situation. It was at once humorous and enchanting. I hope I have done the artwork justice.' Matt Howarth has made his name with his comic books and graphic novels over a career stretching back to the mid-1970's. Many of his works have a science fiction theme, but electronic and alternative music has always inspired him, leading him to projects with countless musicians. Soleilmoon is pleased to be releasing this captivating cross-disciplinary cooperative project by two of the label's favorite artists."

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

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

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

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

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

RELEASE DATE: 6/5/2026
"Heartbreakers L.A.M.F.: The Found '77 Masters is the definitive edition of one of punk rock's most infamous and beloved albums -- finally heard as it was meant to sound. Recorded in London in 1977 by the ex-New York Dolls pairing of Johnny Thunders and Jerry Nolan, L.A.M.F. became legendary not only for its snarling energy and classic songs but also for its supposedly 'muddy' mix -- an audio flaw that dogged every release for decades. The mystery began when Track Records collapsed and the original master tape vanished, forcing later reissues to rely on remixes and outtakes. That changed in 2020, when a forgotten 'Copy Master 12.7.77' was discovered in the archive of Track Records director and co-producer Danny Secunda. The tape revealed a crystal-clear mix of L.A.M.F. -- just as the band and producers originally intended. Though none of the original Heartbreakers lived to hear it, this rediscovered version restores the full punch, swagger, and grit of the 1977 sessions. Pressed on limited transparent vinyl and housed in a printed inner sleeve featuring photos by Roberta Bayley and liner notes by Simon Wright."

Chinese multi-instrumental Lao Dan, a rising star of free jazz with a deep background in traditional music from his homeland, debuts a blistering new quartet recording featuring three of the most important figures from the Chicago scene -- percussionist Michael Zerang, bassist Joshua Abrams, and pianist Mabel Kwan. Over the last decade or so the Chinese multi-instrumentalist Lao Dan has emerged as one of the most hard-driven, skilled, and versatile figures of the improvised music community. While his earliest work found him exploring new, improvisational terrain with the dizi, a traditional Chinese bamboo flute used in many regional musical approaches, his lyric delicacy on that device has been countered by his ferocious energy and searing tone on the tenor saxophone. He first surfaced on the global scene in 2019 with Live at Willimantic Records, a fiery live date recorded a year earlier in Connecticut with stalwart Western Massachusetts free jazz figures Randall Colbourne and Paul Flaherty, along with double bassist Damon Smith. Dan's restless spirit has led him to travel the planet, building new connections, collaborating with many different musicians. Dan's dual interest in folkloric traditions and free jazz led to an interest in the duo work of Chicago percussionists Michael Zerang and Hamid Drake, whom he first heard on recordings as members of the Peter Brötzmann Chicago Tentet. In the spring of 2024 he arranged for a trip to play in Chicago, and while Drake wasn't in town, he performed with a variety of local figures, including a sterling quartet with Zerang, double bassist Joshua Abrams -- leader of Natural Information Society -- and pianist Mabel Kwan, a rising star whose improvisational brilliance has complemented her deep roots in contemporary music. Trost Records is proud to present Lao Dan's Klotski, a searing recording of that live quartet performance at Elastic Arts where the opening tenor cries on "Green Tongue" can't help but evoke the spirit of Peter Brötzmann's galvanic opening blasts, but the music that follows belongs to this agile quartet alone. While Dan's fire-breathing extremes lead the way through a rumbling, shape-shifting thicket on the opening piece, his crystalline tone, peerless technique and melodic gifts on flute distinguish the rollicking "Wandering Donkey." Throughout the set the music toggles between such polarities, fed by the versatility of the quartet members who reveal an almost instant rapport and keen listening abilities, particularly the nubby sonic fabrics woven behind Dan's blowing by Abrams and Kwan.

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

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

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

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

Together, the four tracks understand acid not as a fixed formula, but as a flexible language. These are the songs of the underground clubs on Arrakis. See you at the front of the speakers.

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

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

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

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

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

For the second time, the Geneva-based duo Cyril Cyril hands the microphone to the Syndicat du Futur. Behind this small group campaigning for a better future are Jeannot and Marilou, Zoé, Marlowe and Lenaïs -- the respective children of Cyril (Yeterian) and Cyril (Bondi). Two years after La Météo/Le Monde Embêtant, the crew is back. The voices have grown and changed, but the sharp perspective remains, and the adult world had better watch out.

Yes, Zillas On Acid and Babystar have returned to the studio, and they have released their new single "It's Really Easy (To Spend A Lot Of Money)". But what do they sound like? As aficionados of Girl Chat Room will know, the band's chug-pop style combines jaunty basslines, tight drum machine programming, and sage observations on modern life (the ease of depleting your bank account), and this new track is no exception, even incorporating some whistling, and a wild tempo change.

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

The new trip-hop/no wave duo's 7". The second release from the legendary Celluloid label since its rebirth after 35 years of silence, Honk Gong is a brand-new trip-hop/no wave duo built around the wild, dreamlike sampling of Paul Ramon and the contagiously laid-back flow of the San Francisco's MC and producer, Robin Jiro Margerin. Conceived as the diary of a chemical wreck, Dissociate drifts somewhere between the intelligence of an A Tribe Called Quest track and a YouTube collage.

Villejuif underground's Nathan Roche's new project, presenting a noise-blues experimental album. Following the tradition of Derek Bailey, Henry Kraiser, and Sonny Sharrock albums on Celluloid Records, the label is releasing this abstract and mysterious instrumental album, made under a cryptic name: AA in Reverse, by nqthqn. Recorded shortly after Ghostbox Cowboy, released on Tailnia Records out of China, this new effort digs deeper into what critics describe as buzzards circling the half-dead body of Harry Dean Stanton in Paris, Texas. The project curiously explores what it might be like to create no-wave abstract guitar music by a campfire, as inaugurated by Arto Lindsay, Loren Connors, or John Fahey. AA in Reverse was recorded and engineered by David Akerman (Robin Hitchcock, Dead Farmers) at Golden Retriever Studios (Parcels, Cate Le Bon, Courtney Barnett) in Marrickville.

Double LP version. Deluxe aluminum sleeve. New album from the noise/math rock duo after a 20-year hiatus. A sound architects' album tinted with esoterism. Chevreuil is a French rock duo made up of Julien F. and Tony C., formed in 1998 after the two met three years earlier at an art school in Nantes. From the beginning, they approached the idea of a band as a performative art installation, a self-contained, sculptural device for sound, space, and motion, rather than a conventional rock ensemble. Julien and Tony, respectively, in their parlance, play "magnetic drums" and "magnetic guitar," an analogy for their livewire, one-on-one chemistry, where the music seems to fall together by way of natural forces. Rejecting the addition of a bassist early on, Chevreuil built its music around reduction, repetition, and architecture. Tony's guitar runs through four amplifiers arranged around Julien's drum kit, creating a quadraphonic field that surrounds the players. Julien's 1976 Ludwig kit, built the same year both musicians were born, is never amplified, allowing the group to perform anywhere so long as there's a single outlet for the amplifiers. The result is both physical and spatial, a minimalist engine of rhythm and resonance that behaves as much like an installation as a band. Their sound construction operates like an assemblage of interlocking blocks of energy, each part locking precisely into the next. Between 1998 and 2006, Chevreuil released four albums, an EP, and several singles. After a 20-year hiatus, Chevreuil returns with the double album Stadium, recorded in France in January 2025. Stadium, Chevreuil's most esoteric album to date, preserves the essential conditions of their earlier work while introducing new elements that expand the duo's sonic vocabulary. Conceptually, the album draws on the music of the spheres, magnetism, radioactivity, barometric oscillations, astrometry and magic, using these ideas as lenses for exploring vibration and transformation. Chevreuil's return with Stadium reasserts their place in their lineage: a duo grounded in art-school conceptualism, sonic architecture, and human connection, building an environment of sound that is at once precise, raw, and alive. For fans of Shellac, Slint, Cheval De Frise, Black Midi, Hella, Battles, Tortoise, Horse Lords, Deerhoof, Matmos, Don Caballero.

LP version. Red color vinyl. The first time on any format for Pier Paolo Pasolini's controversial 1975 vision of the Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, featuring beautiful and discordant classical compositions, in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding onscreen. Three weeks before the scandalous release of Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom, Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, Italy. In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote "Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini" (Goodbye to Pier Paolo Pasolini) for the late filmmaker, included in the final edit. Following the narrative of one of Pasolini's defining cinematic moments, the soundtrack opens with Ennio Morricone's "Son Tanto Triste," descends into the melancholic minor chords of Bach, Chopin, Orff, Puccini, and Graziosi, incorporates sinister renditions by the cast, and includes Morricone's own somber tribute to the director. Disgusted by the flood of crass sexploitation movies which filled the space opened up by his Trilogy Of Life, Pasolini turned to the most nihilistic thinker in European history for what became his final film. His version of De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, amplified with motifs from Dante's Inferno, confronts the ultimate implications of fascism in a series of sexual and moral atrocities. Limited LP edition of 500 copies on blood red vinyl in gatefold matt-laminate sleeve.

For the first time, this five CD box set brings together the work around Music For Real Airports. Long admired by listeners, the collection includes Music For Real Airports, Music For Airport Lounges, Music For Dead Airports, Live At The Millennium Galleries, and The One Escape Bar. It features a substantial amount of new unheard material, alternate mixes and live recordings taken from our archive. This second box set reflects a long and uneasy relationship with airports. Airports present a controlled fiction, a managed calm built on delay, surveillance and routine. Across five hours of music, much of it previously unheard and available for the first time, the box set confronts the modern reality of travel and the corporate structures that shape it. The music documents these spaces as they are experienced rather than as they are sold.

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

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

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

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

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

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

After years of fronting some of rock's most iconic acts, Erik Grönwall returns with a solo album titled Bad Bones. Known worldwide for his powerhouse vocals and commanding stage presence, Erik has made his mark as the frontman of Skid Row, H.E.A.T, and, more recently, touring across Europe and Japan (and recording a UFO anniversary album) providing lead vocals for guitar legend Michael Schenker. With Bad Bones, he now turns the focus fully inward, delivering a raw and honest statement that marks a bold new chapter in his career. "Bad Bones" single sets the tone for an album that is fearless, personal, and uncompromising. The album is built entirely on original material and represents a return to songwriting at its core -- honest, powerful, and deeply personal. Alongside his work on stage and in the studio, Erik has built an enormously successful YouTube channel, amassing millions of views and a global audience drawn to his powerful interpretations and authenticity. With Bad Bones, that same raw connection now fuels his own original voice. Also available on black vinyl (GREEN 001LP) and red splatter color vinyl (GREEN 001S-LP).

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"When I first heard Yelka play I thought to myself: 'I'd like to play in that band.' In the meantime I have realized that it would not be as easy as I imagined. The fluffy easy sound that gets created is so particular that it would not be so easy to execute those exact sounds of the band. This is mostly due to the unconventional harmonies of the guitar. Daniel himself said he is content with the guitar and added an extra one on almost all of the songs. Which I, as a fan of Daniels anarchic approach to playing, love. Also Yelka's groovy smooth bass playing is in the forefront of the album once again. Her sound bounces through the guitar riffs as if it's the most common thing on earth. Once Yelka adds her vocals to the songs, that's when they almost become pop and reminiscent of Velvet Underground. Christian's drums hold these two together through the track list, with a fun Krautrock and jazz influenced style. Everything was recorded live and it sounds fantastic! The sixth track of the Yelka album Jeans is a highlight with the piano support from Federico Corazzini, who adds lush open jazz chords to the incredible intricate harmonies of the band. Arne Bergner (Studio Popschutz) who is once more responsible for the production of the album, also added a beautiful choir arrangement. The finishing touches completing Yelka´s wonderful sound as always added by Norman Nitzsches mastering (Mokik Studio). From top to bottom an amazing album: 'King of the World' (Steely Dan cover), a pop song with a fantastic keyboard solo from `the one and only Dan Ra´ alias Daniel Nentwig (The Whitest Boy Alive), 'Moon for Now,' an atmospheric jazz-ish tune, to 'Walking Whispering,' a strong nine-minute guitar heavy number. I think there are more than two guitars in this one. American indie rock/pop/jazz whatever -- school (after all, it's the third album in the band's America trilogy) and yet above all Berlin, in its most likeable and perhaps even coolest form." --Masha Qrella

Rex The Dog is taking listeners further out into the lesser-known realms of space disco. "Far Out!" is a reinterpretation of an early breakbeat rave tune from 1991 by Son'z Of A Loop Da Loop Era. It's a tribute to a simpler time when all you needed was a cascading piano riff played through a powerful sound system, with your best friend by your side. "I Need Your Body" showcases Rex The Dog's more introspective side, with yearning vocals spread across a heavily bouncing rhythm track full of mind-boggling dub effects.

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

Active for more than a decade within the Geneva scene, DJ Laxxiste A. has established himself as one of the key figures of the local club culture. A DJ digger, musician, producer and experimenter, he moves between rave culture, dub and adventurous electronic music. As one half of Oram Modular, a project that left a mark on Geneva's house and techno landscape, and through several live projects, he has long navigated between soundsystem culture, the dancefloor and free party. This new release, composed of five original tracks and two remixes, offers a synthesis of Laxxiste's musical obsessions. Jungle, acid, breakbeat and dub collide in a dense, textured universe shaped by a distinctly dub-driven mix. The tracks were first tested in a hardware live set, where machines, FX and samples were pushed and reshaped in real time before being refined into finished pieces. The result is an organic and sometimes raw sound, combining lo-fi textures, twisted samples and deep basslines designed for adventurous dancefloors. The record also features two collaborations. Lateena, a key voice of the Swiss dancehall scene, appears on one track, bringing a distinctive vocal presence. Another piece unfolds through a double transformation, with a remix by Bony Fly later extended into a dub version by dubmaster Androo.

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

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

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

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

Caterina Barbieri and Bendik Giske's At Source resounds music as wellspring, that which is essential and unknowable, and yet utterly primary. It finds two acclaimed composer-musicians building a world together in self-contained collaboration between analogue synthesis and an extended approach to the saxophone that conjures its own universe of sound. It is at once intimate and cosmic, drawing on the challenges and possibilities of their artistic exchange, tearing down technique to access all the expansive possibilities of their sonic meeting point. At Source is a document of the world of sound to be conjured when two artists strive for something together, discovering the expansions and limitations of performance by bodies and machines. It is not an exercise in assimilation, but in productive exchange and creative confrontation. It does not draw on outside energies or influences, but grapples with what there is to find in their respective playing. Barbieri and Giske first met and were enthralled by one another's performances at Kunsthaus Glarus in 2019, a meeting that spurred conversations on the power of transitions as a compositional force. Giske later contributed a rework of Fantas for Fantas Variations (Editions Mego, 2021), an ambitious undertaking to rescore Barbieri's work for his saxophone and voice, a challenge Giske had started undertaking two years prior as an ongoing practice of transcription. Giske, who was on the brink of releasing his sophomore album, Cracks, then joined Barbieri's light-years tour, which functioned as an inaugural incarnation of her newborn label and platform. Through the tour, they continued to develop material live, and this release, laid down in the studio, is true to that ever-evolving process of creation, where live feedback stays essential to the vitality of this collaborative effort. The tracks are each named with two evocative words that contain the two poles of their sound. Theirs is both abstract and cosmic, in the synth as machine undermined by Barbieri's naturalistic playing, and in Giske's continuous exploration of the symbiosis between his instrument, voice, and body. These binaries, of body and machine, posed various challenges, notably in how the stepped patterns Barbieri uses were near-impossible to translate for Giske's body to perform, and other times where mathematical resolutions were needed to sync their playing.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is the second album from Prisonnier Du Temps, and from the cover alone you can tell that its sole member, Jacky Cadiou, wanted to surprise and not just deliver a pointless follow-up. You can already feel a desire to break the usual codes just from that image. Breaking the rules is exactly what he does across these eight new tracks. There's a lot of boldness here, and a clear urge to move away from a French Oi! scene that's becoming more and more uninteresting. This record pushes beyond that boredom and goes much further. It's no less angry or brutal, both in the music and the lyrics. But alongside that violence, there are plenty of catchy, infectious, and overall anthemic moments. This is far from dull, simple-minded Oi!. That sense of daring opens the door to huge, epic melodies that might bring to mind Criminal Damage, and you can also hear the wild melodic intensity of Tragedy and Poison Idea all driven by a raw, bulldozing post-punk hardcore sound. With this second album, Prisonnier Du Temps delivers the record you didn't expect but absolutely need.

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

"The Brazilian duo Deafkids returns with a vital and combustive new album, Cicatrizes Do Futuro (Scars Of The Future). This nine-track sonic assault forges a path beyond the conventions and boundaries of static musical genres. Here, electronic fury and feverish organic percussion collide with a relentless Latin American punk spirit. Conceptually, the album is a visceral diagnosis of a world intoxicated by its own fictions of power, tracing the anatomy of a systemic grand deception and exploring its mechanics of psychological, social, and material domination, the indelible marks imprinted on bodies and minds and it's catastrophic consequences. It is a journey from the poisoned and addicted collective psyche to the desperate search for an antidote, while the future seems to be already cursed by the very forces that pretend to build it. Yet, for all its thematic weight, Cicatrizes Do Futuro is hypnotically danceable -- physical and ritualistic music that demands body movement as a form of mental cleansing. The album doesn't just reflect a fractured and violent world -- it breathes desire to live and resist through new sonic paths."

This nine-track sonic assault forges a path beyond the conventions and boundaries of static musical genres. Here, electronic fury and feverish organic percussion collide with a relentless Latin American punk spirit. Conceptually, the album is a visceral diagnosis of a world intoxicated by its own fictions of power, tracing the anatomy of a systemic grand deception and exploring its mechanics of psychological, social, and material domination, the indelible marks imprinted on bodies and minds and it's catastrophic consequences. It is a journey from the poisoned and addicted collective psyche to the desperate search for an antidote, while the future seems to be already cursed by the very forces that pretend to build it. Yet, for all its thematic weight, Cicatrizes Do Futuro is hypnotically danceable -- physical and ritualistic music that demands body movement as a form of mental cleansing. The album doesn't just reflect a fractured and violent world -- it breathes desire to live and resist through new sonic paths."

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

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

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

"German guitarist Olaf Rupp combines elements of traditional flamenco (rasgueados, arpeggios, picados) with the fractured cadences of Derek Bailey, fusing them together with a blast-furnace tone recalling John Lee Hooker's most blown-out extremes. And yet, despite decades of concerts and releases on FMP and Emanem, often with marquee-grabbing collaborators like John Zorn, Peter Brötzmann, Butch Morris, Paul Lovens and Lol Coxhill, Rupp's music is largely unknown outside of European free improvisational circles, and (until now) has never been presented on vinyl. Over its four double LP sides, Fuzzy Logic sounds like a Guitar Solos-era Fred Frith musing on Jandek or Carlos Montoya essaying the music of Cecil Taylor, veering from unadorned yet forceful exclamations into torrents of austere, alien gestures packed with modal angst (a rarity in the capital-I Improvisation world), rewarding careful listening with previously unexplored microlandscapes of impossibly interlocked waveforms. Fuzzy Logic is powerfully unrooted. But most strikingly, it tracks Rupp's autodidactic turn into the fraught world of effects pedals. These days, soldering-iron jockeys produce an absurd array of signal processing tools, from bit crushers to tone benders, lo-fi loopers to 24-bit digital arpeggiators, all designed ostensibly as creative tools but more often marketed towards lazy players plying YouTube gear demos rather than pushing their boxes past the limits. Fuzzy Logic, rather, beelines to the tone-smearing outer limits of overdrive, eschewing the well-trodden paths of wail, feedback and sustain to produce a rainbow spray of strange overtones, self-oscillation, and whispered notes beyond the reach of human touch. In a way, Fuzzy Logic echoes Palilalia's previous forays into the exquisitely fried spectrum of electric guitar exemplified by some of Bill Orcutt's records, but more pointedly by Cyrus Pireh's jaw-dropping explorations of speed-runs skittering through grainy distortion. But unlike Pireh, and unlike anyone else you'll likely conjure up, Rupp's work (despite its virtuosity) taps a primal throb dripping with eldritch and unspeakable menace, that punches through the buttery intellect to throttle the brain stem -- particularly at top volume, which is exactly how you should bathe in Fuzzy Logic to fully experience its torrential majesty." --Tom Carter

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

South African composer and keyboard wizard Don Laka has been quietly sitting in DJ bags for years, especially with people who like their synth music warm, slightly mysterious, and impossible to date properly. Somewhere between jazz funk, township pulse and studio electronics, but really just its own thing. "Stages" was an obvious candidate for extension. Prins Thomas what he does best here: opens the arrangement, lets the synth lines breathe, stretches the groove until it starts floating a little higher off the ground. "I Wanna Be Myself" gets a gentle nudge from Gerd Janson. The idea was simple: keep the personality, and give DJs a version that lands naturally in a modern set without losing the original charm.

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

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

On her second album, Sawt El Doumouh ("The Sound of Tears"), Beirut-based Sandy Chamoun summons flickers of light from sadness. Influences from the Arabic tradition of Tarab -- one of the first styles Chamoun learnt to sing -- and polyphonic Cantu are reinterpreted and reimagined through her voice and electronics, synths from her SANAM and Ghadr bandmate Anthony Sayhoun, and live percussion from Ali Hout. Sawt El Doumouh is a gorgeous refusal to be silent. It opens with a booming drum. Over keening autotune Chamoun's pure voice cuts through, burying the despair to illuminate rays of hope. On "Ward W Shok" a shuffling swing gives way to a righteous organ interlude. The title track sees a choir of Chamoun's vocals lull and lap. Drums arrive and indignation stirs, what's mournful begins to stride. Chamoun's tracks are as beautiful as they are defiant. Why write songs in the face of horror? Perhaps because music can hold onto something better. By turning to song, Chamoun catches the hopeful glints and sparks that persist and strive outside the terror. In SANAM and Ghadr she often borrows lyrics from Arabic writers through the centuries, listening to what their words say in the present while reminding us the world can and has been different to how it is now. Solo she writes her own words, and the way her songs alternately soar and sigh evokes hopeful pluralities and suggestions of other, kinder realities. Even hearing someone cry is a connection to humanity. It's a possibility conveyed in the album's most jubilant moments. "Shahed" is an incandescent dance of percussion and levitating synths. Although it comes from darkness, in Chamoun's music listeners can hear faith in something beyond it.

"Siltbreeze is proud to once again release a critical, unearthed treasure pertaining to the legendary Christchurch, NZ scene, pre-Flying Nun. Much like the The Spies The Battle Of Bosworth Terrace LP (2013), this archival collection of tracks titled An Afternoon With Victor Dimisich has never before been released and its historical significance cannot be overestimated. These songs were captured in demo form primarily to flesh out the threadbare Pin Group repertoire in early 1981. These songs were captured in pared back form because certain people felt that some very tender Cogle/Stapleton works were being lost in VDB steamroller mode. These songs were captured in rough form because four men in their twenties had a spare afternoon, a crate of beer that needed drinking, and a soft spot for dark ballads. All of the above. One time pressing, amazing timestamp insert included."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hardback. 816 pages. "No band has reshaped the possibilities of popular music like The Velvet Underground. Formed in New York in 1965, the Velvets emerged from the nexus of art, fashion, politics, music and counterculture. Although widespread popularity and acclaim evaded them during their four-album lifespan, their enduring, cross-generational appeal meant the Velvets could count iconic contemporaries like Leonard Cohen, David Bowie, and Jimi Hendrix as fans, alongside future legends such as Roxy Music, the Pretenders and Sonic Youth. Do What You Fear Most chronicles how an unlikely group of upstarts came to define the musical zeitgeist. In a sprawling and engrossing narrative, Richie Unterberger follows the group from their disparate origins to their ascendancy as Andy Warhol's Factory house band in New York City. It explores the creative alchemy between the core trio of Lou Reed, John Cale, and Nico, the shocking exits and ever-changing lineups, as well as the wider New York cultural scene of the period. Rigorously researched and packed with previously undocumented insights, this book features many first-hand interviews with the group's associates, as well as material newly unearthed from the Lou Reed Archive and the Andy Warhol Archive, alongside never-before-seen images and ephemera."

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

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

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

The album marks a bold step forward, thematically exploring the act of breaking free from inertia through embracing creative freedom. With his new work, Janus incorporates his own vocals more than ever, weaving them seamlessly around intricate electronics as he expands his sound into new territory, while retaining the subtle restraint that has defined his output.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Since 2021, the critically acclaimed Next Wave Acid Punx series has seen Luca Venezia, aka Curses, celebrate the music that has shaped both his life and career. Across the first two compilations Luca took listeners from the industrial and post-punk sounds of the late '70s, through the emergence of EBM, new beat and freestyle in the 1980s and onto the music he both makes and plays himself in clubs today. Bringing the series to a close Next Wave Acid Punx TROIS sees the Berlin-based musician and DJ return full circle, this time exploring the sounds that first initiated him into Brooklyn's rave scene and the music that, in some way, continues to embody its eclectic spirit today. Spread across three 2LPs and 3CDs Next Wave Acid Punx TROIS captures a moment whose influence can still be heard reverberating around clubland today. Featuring 46 hard-to-find, new and exclusive tracks, Next Wave Acid Punx TROIS both documents that fertile period and shows how, despite rumors to the contrary, that early anarchic spirit can still be found today.

Amazingly, this is Charles Downs's first album as sole leader, recorded shortly after he turned 81. Starting in the 1970s, he performed as Rashid Bakr, a name he chose out of admiration for drummer Rashid Ali; this is how he was known while performing in various Cecil Taylor ensembles, with Jemeel Moondoc's Ensemble Muntu, and as a member of Other Dimensions in Music, to name just a few. He reverted to his birth name in the 21st century. Featuring Hery Paz (saxophone), Jamie Saft (piano), and Joe Morris (bass). Recorded by Jim Clouse at Park West Studios on December 16, 2024. Mixed by Jamie Saft at Calamari Gardens, Maine. Front cover by Joe Morris; package design/layout by Diana K.

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

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

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

Justin K Broadrick (Godflesh) and Mick Harris (Napalm Death) drop militant, hard techno on this split LP. This new album doubles the track count (and runtime) of the duo's last collab. The stalwart Birmingham have connected again as JK Flesh and Monrella to deliver the warehouse- destroying hard techno album Shouting The Odds, five years after their last EP, See Red. Featuring four tracks from each artist, Shouting The Odds invokes both the feeling of listening to late night pirate radio and sweating in a darkened warehouse as the rafters shake, complete with the perfect amount of analog wow and flutter. Brimming with gnarled, unrelenting kicks hovering between 130-140bpm, the split format deftly showcases both artist's individual strengths, while displaying undeniable commonality. Broadrick's side leans traditional hard techno, filled with mesmerizing, minimal synth arpeggios and contrasting toplines, all aligned and maligned by shrewd transitions. Harris' section presents more experimental and house influences, using bright, distorted synth hits and a touch of forlorn melody. The tracks take on a life of their own through expert use of filters and just the right amount of delay, stutter, and glitch. Never before has an album filled with such shining, shimmering synths been so black and threatening. JK Flesh and Monrella have hard techno down to a science.

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

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

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

Purchased by the former band members, the recordings were finally back in their rightful hands. After years of remaining unheard, the project has now been fully restored and released in collaboration with Guerssen Records, bringing this powerful, long-lost recording to light for the very first time. Sourced from the original masters, featuring artwork in silver foil by artist Fez Moreno. Includes insert with liner notes by original member Richard 'Hombre' Price. Includes download card.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ramping up the intensity, Joe Milli returns to Livity Sound with a spring-loaded EP of upfront club workouts that once again split the difference between techno propulsion and UK Funky swagger. Milli's previous release, Deep Forest, carried a dubby atmosphere on top of its bassweight rhythms. On this new four-track EP, the shroud lifts and he leans in on raw, impactful drums and sparse sound fields. Zeroing in on stark, heads-down production for the club, the Repetitions EP offers a different slant on Milli's emergent, sharply executed sound.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In order to fit the album on four sides, the original LP track order was slightly changed and re-sequenced, revealing some never-before-heard oddities. All this and more is discussed at length in a 12-page booklet featuring essays, memorabilia and photos. Plated and pressed Record Industry, 180g virgin vinyl. Deluxe tip-on gatefold jacket from Stoughton. "Originally released in 1973, Moontan is the album that catapulted Golden Earring to international stardom, primarily on the strength of the hit single and enduring radio favorite 'Radar Love.' Eventually reaching #13 on the coveted Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S., it was subsequently covered multiple hundreds of times by U2, R.E.M., Def Leppard, and many more. To this day, Moontan is Golden Earring's most successful record internationally -- it's their only album to be certified Gold by the RIAA -- and certainly paved the way for the Dutch rockers in the United States. Now, this arguably most important record in the Dutch rock canon is available as a 45RPM 2LP edition for the first time, entirely remastered and restored from the original analogue master tapes by Red Bullet catalogue and band archivist Wouter Bessels.

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

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

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

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

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

Reverie is the first full-length collaboration between Ori Kaplan and Lihu Melamed -- a cinematic, soul-soaked LP that drifts between modal jazz, cinematic scores and psychedelic rock, released on Batov Records. Saxophonist and producer Ori Kaplan is best known as a founding member of Balkan Beat Box, for his work with Gogol Bordello and more recently, Shotnez, while Melamed brings a deep studio craft honed over years as an engineer, producer and multi-instrumentalist. Together, they create a record that feels both ancient and immediate: music that evokes old biblical films, sun-bleached Western soundtracks and '70s jazz explorations, while remaining playful, spontaneous and deeply human. There's a strong cinematic undercurrent throughout Reverie. Think Charles Heston wandering through an Old Testament epic; Ennio Morricone soundtracking a desert horizon; Nino Rota scoring Fellini's Rome; or Pasolini filming in Ethiopia. Minor-key strings, modal structures and unhurried grooves sit alongside echoes of Mingus and Yusef Lateef, with Ori's baritone sax and flutes guiding the listener through shifting scenes and moods. Melamed's influence pulls in another direction: the spirit of '70s rock and psychedelia -- The Doors, Woodstock, King Crimson -- with organs, guitars and a sense of scale that balances Kaplan's love of folk traditions, heavy percussion, Klezmer modes and Middle Eastern textures. The result is a careful blend of composition and instinct, where structure is often nudged aside in favor of feel. Throughout Reverie, flutes play a central role -- sometimes delicate, sometimes ritualistic -- acting as a thread that binds the album's many references into a single journey. It's a record that rewards immersion: music that unfolds like a film, or a half-remembered dream. Reverie is not about nostalgia, but about continuity -- the passing of musical language from one generation to another, reshaped by experience, curiosity and trust. A debut LP that sounds lived-in, expansive and quietly confident. Featuring Tamir Muskat and Itamar Ziegler.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Nate Krafft (Nathaniel Killins IV) is a visionary Detroit producer whose 1990s work were released under his own name and aliases such as Super Nova and Naquil and have since become highly collectible. He later re-emerged as Nate Nubia, continuing to experiment techno infused with machine soul and cosmic imagination. In 1995, he dropped two cult 12"s on his own Infra label: Man Machine and Crimson Arsenal, blending Detroit techno with electro edges and sci-fi atmospheres exploring uncharted territories. These sought-after EPs, which sounded futuristic long before their time, are brought together for the first time as one limited edition red vinyl 2x12". Please also consider his Planetary Invazion EP, under his Super Nova alias, reissued in 2018 on the same label.

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

Their vision for the future of music makes them explore crossing points between experimental and electronic dance music. Their first album, Zakeri, was released in 2015. Since then, they have performed, among others, at ORF Musikprotokoll, Wiener Festwochen, Jazzwerkstatt Wien, Ottosonics, and de/semble.

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

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

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

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

Ocean Cage is a live recording of Tianzhuo Chen and Siko Setyanto's performance Moyang and Seaman -- a forking stage work that evolved from the immersive theatre performance project Ocean Cage, sharing the same title. Directed by Tianzhuo Chen, aka Asiandopeboys, the immersive performance Ocean Cage merges scenography, installation, choreography, and live music into a unified whole. Inspired by the complex whaling traditions in Lamalera, an Indonesian village that preservers ritualized whaling practices and ancestral beliefs, the work unfolds through interconnected trinities. It tells a porous story of unlocking the cage of the ocean: receiving ancestral blessing while becoming entangled with misjudgement, misunderstanding, ecological grief, and temporal displacement, until the sacrifice and life cycles move toward equilibrium. Evolving from this larger narration, Moyang and Seaman shifts into a frontal, meditative dialogues between ancestor and seaman. Inspired by Japanese Noh theatre and deeply rooted in Nusantara traditions, the performance integrates music, dance, and stage art into a mutable and fluid process, continuing to explore ancestral presences, cyclical time, and spiritual transformation. The album features music by KADAPAT and Nova Ruth, interwoven with Siko Setyanto's narrations and monologues. KADAPAT's electronic-gamelan practice moves through interlocking rhythm and cyclical time structures, extending asymmetrical Balinese ancestral yet modern sonic with digital signal. Bamboo and metal, folk and sacred, horizontal and vertical forces collide and co-exist, forming layered pulses that shift and reform in motion. Born and raised in Java, Nova Ruth's voice emerges from lived cosmology of oneness, where beings are interdependent and entangled. Singing becomes vibration from her body, carrying ecological awareness through shifting currents of fluxes and forces. Siko Setyanto describes his practice as "bodily musicality" -- a choreography in which movement and monologues interweave seamlessly with music, allowing the body listen, respond, and compose in real time. On the album, his voice retains that immediacy -- a trace of bodily musicality translated into sound. Ocean Cage also records the reciprocal, communal, improvisational, polymetric, and relational collaborations among Nova Ruth, Siko Setyanto, KADAPAT and Tianzhuo Chen. No role is fixed; no expression remains confined to its original context. In this sense, Ocean Cage becomes an assembled living being. This limited-edition deluxe vinyl edition features a gatefold sleeve with a sewn-in 16-page booklet, including scenario sketches by Tianzhuo Chen, articles by Dr. Freda Fiala and Milia Xin Bi, and performance photography by Nathaniel Brown and Camille Blake.

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

The new album by the French jazz guitarist recorded in the legendary Abbey Road studio. A soft album with pop and cinematic influences between Khruangbin, Bombay Bicycle Club, and Bill Frisell. With wild eyes and ash-gray fur, Loup(s) is an instrumental album where jazz and pop intertwine, led by guitarist Matthis Pascaud (Ayo, Erik Truffaz, Moonlight Benjamin, Marion Rampal, Hugh Coltman) and his pack of sonic alchemists. Once again, the album features the magnetic R (Cheick Tidiane Seck, Erik Truffaz, Tété, Albin de la Simone) on drums, composition, and co-production, alongside bassist Laurent Vernerey (Didier Lockwood, MC Solaar, Henri Salvador, Jane Birkin) and saxophonist-clarinetist Christophe Panzani (Carla Bley Big Band, Hocus Pocus, Anne Paceo).

Five years after his debut Music For Video Stores (2020), Squama cofounder Martin Brugger is back on the label with his new album The Shell. It's an introspective record on which field recordings, noisy synths and lo-fi folk guitars yield contemplative emotions with a veiled dream-pop sensibility, the sparse instrumentation and an eerie atmosphere mirroring the quarrels of the inner self. Otherwise created in solitude in his Munich studio, the record features two contributions from label mate Lilian Mikorey (aka PILLBERT).

A significant force in the development of British electronic music, Fluke return to the culture and reinvigorate their forward-thinking library of material on an unexpected and powerful new album, The Second Bite, arriving on limited-edition, double-vinyl gatefold LP. Driven by principal band members Jon Fugler, Mike Tournier, and Julian Nugent, The Second Bite boldly yet subtly reimagines twelve Fluke tracks from different eras of the band, including crossover hits "Atom Bomb," "Groovy Feeling," and "Absurd." Retaining their peerless groove and cinematic atmosphere, the band rework each with contemporary production touches and arrangements that invite these ambitious recordings into a digital future. Making a significant contribution to both rave and chillout sound systems throughout the nineties and deep into the new millennium, Fluke's progressive sonic philosophy saw the band invited to remix boundary-pushing artists including Bjork, New Order, Talk Talk, and even The Rolling Stones, while their original productions were integral to the cult soundtracks of blockbusters The Matrix Reloaded and Sin City. Their music remains instantly recognizable to renewed generations of gamers, having featured on the multi-million selling console series' Need For Speed: Underground as well as seminal racing game Wipeout 2097, for which the band recorded original music to feature alongside The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, The Prodigy and Underworld. Regaining control of their original compositions, Fluke approached The Second Bite with the same sense of creative community and futurist philosophy that has been fundamental to the band since their earliest recordings. Formed on the experimental fringes of London's nascent acid house culture, informed by a shared love of progressive electronic sounds, Fluke have remained deeply invested in the possibilities of recording technology. Decades later, reunited in a profoundly altered musical landscape, The Second Bite serves as a typically ambitious reintroduction to one of electronic music's most essential back catalogues.

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

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

As with so many forerunners and peers in the Detroit techno world, Shawescape Renegade, is a deep thinking and a world-building story teller and Exoframe uses the traditional sci-fi narrative to explore recent thought Shaw has had on the potential hidden costs of technological evolution: what happens when overspecialization leads to a dead end; when inflexibility means a return to the old forms becomes difficult.

Orange color vinyl. Yendo de la cama al living (1982) is Charly GarcÃa's solo debut album following the breakup of Serú Girán, and it represents a turning point both in his career and in Argentine rock. Recorded during a period of transition -- marked by the end of the military dictatorship -- the album captures a mood of change, introspection, and artistic openness. Musically, the album is built on a foundation of sophisticated rock and pop, featuring a strong presence of synthesizers, clean guitars, and carefully crafted arrangements that reflect the influence of new wave and the international sound of the era. Charly's piano remains central, now integrated into a more modern and minimalist production style. The songs explore personal and social themes through a blend of sensitivity and criticism. "Inconsciente colectivo" became an anthem of hope during a time of transformation, while the title track, "Yendo de la cama al living," conveys a sense of routine, confinement, and the search for meaning. Meanwhile, "No bombardeen Buenos Aires" reflects the political and emotional tension of those years with an intense and urgent energy. The album also stands out for its intimate character: it is a work in which Charly seems to reconsider his place both as an artist and as an individual. This combination of vulnerability, clarity, and sonic experimentation makes Yendo de la cama al living a landmark album that not only marked the beginning of a new phase in his career, but also resonates with the spirit of a society in the midst of reconstruction.

Limited edition solid white vinyl. Piano Bar (1984) is one of Charly GarcÃa's most iconic albums and a key work in Argentine rock. Released during Argentina's transition to democracy, the album captures an intense blend of creative freedom, social tension, and a sound that felt modern for its time. The record is defined by a rawer, more direct sound compared to GarcÃa's earlier work, with a strong presence of synthesizers, electric guitars, and, of course, Charly's piano, which serves as both the emotional and compositional core. The songs combine irony, social issues, and a clear-eyed view of reality, all wrapped in catchy melodies and sophisticated arrangements. Tracks like "Demoliendo hoteles" reflect the chaos and rebellious spirit of the era, while "Nos siguen pegando abajo" became an anthem charged with protest and energy. Meanwhile, songs such as "Promesas sobre el bidet" reveal a more introspective and poetic side, highlighting GarcÃa's artistic versatility. Piano Bar not only cemented Charly as one of the leading figures in Spanish-language rock but also marked a turning point in Latin American music production, influencing generations of artists. It's an album that balances the visceral with the refined, the political with the personal, and remains relevant thanks to its expressive power and its ability to capture a moment in time without losing its universal appeal.

Originally released on Umor Rex on cassette, El Sol de los Muertos deeply shaped the evolution and vision of Mexican producer Concepción Huerta's sonic work, becoming a reference point for a kind of experimental sound deeply connected to Latin American critical thought. Crafted entirely through subharmonic structures and tape manipulation, El Sol de los Muertos stands as Concepción Huerta's most abrasive and emotionally charged work to date, rooted in drone, musique concrète, and visceral textures. The album reflects on dispossession, extraction, and colonialism, while connecting deeply with Latin American critical thought and Indigenous resistance across the region. Inspired in part by Eduardo Galeano's work, it is not a manifesto, but an invitation to reflection, memory, and vigilance against the enduring forms of fascism and colonialism. Recorded by Concepción Huerta in 2024 between Berlin, The Hague, and Mexico City. Original master and remastered for vinyl by Rafael Anton Irisarri at Black Knoll Studio, New York. Volcano photography by Magaly Ugarte. Design by Daniel Castrejón in Mexico City.

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

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

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

The Dave's Waves House Band is the ultimate outgrowth of an installation project David First created in 2003 entitled Dave's Waves: A Sonic Restaurant. In 2018, after numerous iterations in various European cities, he began presenting it at the Sunview Luncheonette in Brooklyn and for the first time included live performances in what had previously been an individual, headphone-only experience for people entering his establishment. After a few years of putting together one-off situations for different groupings of players, he decided to flip the switch and see how deep things could get using the same players every time. "I've always been a strong believer in bands -- whether it's the Miles Davis Quintets, Cecil Taylor's classic Unit, the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane's quartets, Phillip Glass and Steve Reich's early ensembles, Meredith Monk and Robert Ashley's vocal troupes, Karlheinz Stockhausen's core players, or the Grateful Dead, there's something irreplaceable about staying together and vibing long-term." The outcome is this 3CD album entitled Trust Patterns on XI Records. Discs 1 and 2 in this set were recorded live at the Sunview Luncheonette. They did have the pleasure of illustrious guests sitting in, including composer/performer Sarah Hennies, who also guests here on disc 3, which was recorded in sessions at Bard College at the invitation of composer Matt Sargent who came to hear them play one night and offered the facilities he is in charge of as head of the electronic music department. David First has always been fascinated by opposites and extremes. At 20 he played guitar with renowned avant-jazz pianist Cecil Taylor in a legendary Carnegie Hall concert. Two years after that he was invited to create electronic music in the EMS at Princeton and leading a Mummerʼs String Band in Philadelphia parades. He has played in raucous drunken bar bands, semi-legal DIY basements and in pin-drop quiet concert halls. First's performances often find him sitting trance-like without seeming to move, unless he is playing with his psychedelic punk band, Notekillers, at which time he is a whirling blur of hyperactivity. He has had music released on Important Records, Dais, Ecstatic Peace, Mode, and others.

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

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

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

This is not a Ben Vida, Booker Stardrum, and Will Epstein record; it's a Play Time record. That's a subtle but important distinction, for a couple reasons. One, the sound of Magic Object -- a polymetric blend of improv and pulse minimalism for saxophone, drums, and Moog -- doesn't really sound anything like any of their many other ensembles or respective solo projects. And two, it was only while making Magic Object, their debut album, that Play Time realized they were a band at all. The roots of the trio date to 2020-21, when Will and then Booker moved to the Hudson Valley, where Ben was already living. The three got into the habit of playing together at Ben's house, and they soon realized that their hang sessions felt fundamentally different from making music in some falling-down studio in Bushwick. Where those experiences were rushed and cramped, a new sense of time and space now suggested itself. Early gigs yielded similar revelations. A booking at Tubby's, the beloved Kingston venue, evolved into a kind of residency. Gradually, they discovered a newfound "elasticity" that reshaped the music from inside. They were jamming, but it wasn't just a free-for-all; they found themselves listening to each other in new ways. Play Time is all about being in the moment. That spontaneity was key to the process of recording the album. They booked two days in their friend Joey's studio, a converted wooden barn. For two days, they just jammed, for seven or eight hours each day. When it was over, they went through, edited down the portions they liked, and added very judicious overdubs designed to enhance the original recordings without fundamentally altering them, staying true to the spirit of the sessions. The result is something like a snapshot and a mission statement all rolled into one.

With Sowas von Egal Vol 3, the Hamburg-based Damaged Goods DJ team continues its compilation series on Bureau B, once again turning its attention to the underground scenes of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in the early 1980s. The selected tracks originate from a period in which, alongside the commercial Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW), a number of innovative and often more abrasive bands and artists operated outside the mainstream. They combined influences from new wave, synthwave, post-punk, and the avant-garde with German lyrics -- and occasionally other languages -- releasing their music in very small editions on indie labels or entirely DIY. As a result, many of these records are now rare and highly sought after. The tracks emerged in a cultural climate strongly shaped by the rupture brought about by punk. Five years after the second installment, the search for hard-to-find artists and rights holders began again. Thanks to the cohesion and supportive network within the scene, it has once more been possible to assemble a carefully curated and lovingly compiled selection. As with the first two volumes, part three follows an approach closely aligned with the DJ repertoire of the Damaged Goods nights. The focus is on captivating, danceable, and catchy tracks. Songs that often reveal their full impact on first listen in a club setting. The aim is to make forgotten or hard-to-access pieces audible and available again. The artwork is once again by Biljana Tomic, drawing on an industrial-apocalyptic sensibility and referencing the iconic facades of Horten department stores, evoking a visual aesthetic of the 1980s. The sound has once again been carefully remastered by Tom Morgenstern. Sowas von Egal Vol 3 seamlessly continues the series and presents itself as a lovingly curated snapshot of a highly productive yet often overlooked phase in German, Austrian, and Swiss pop history. Featuring Guyer's Connection, Starter, Bergtraum, Die Shadocks, Isolierband, Bizarre Leidenschaft, Ziggy & Eno, André Szigethy, Zero Zero, JaJaJa, Ti-Tho, Vorgruppe, X-Beliebig, Trick 17, Die Egozentrischen 2, and Tommi Stumpff.

As with the first two volumes, part three follows an approach closely aligned with the DJ repertoire of the Damaged Goods nights. The focus is on captivating, danceable, and catchy tracks. Songs that often reveal their full impact on first listen in a club setting. The aim is to make forgotten or hard-to-access pieces audible and available again. The artwork is once again by Biljana Tomic, drawing on an industrial-apocalyptic sensibility and referencing the iconic facades of Horten department stores, evoking a visual aesthetic of the 1980s. The sound has once again been carefully remastered by Tom Morgenstern. Sowas von Egal Vol 3 seamlessly continues the series and presents itself as a lovingly curated snapshot of a highly productive yet often overlooked phase in German, Austrian, and Swiss pop history. Featuring Guyer's Connection, Starter, Bergtraum, Die Shadocks, Isolierband, Bizarre Leidenschaft, Ziggy & Eno, André Szigethy, Zero Zero, JaJaJa, Ti-Tho, Vorgruppe, X-Beliebig, Trick 17, Die Egozentrischen 2, and Tommi Stumpff.

Ondanaconda does not compose with the jaw harp, but through it. For their self-titled debut album, the quartet turns this lamellophone, often perceived as archaic, into the record's sole sound source. Found for centuries across continents, from Asia to Europe, the jaw harp is played against the teeth, using the mouth as a resonating chamber, shaping sound through breath and bodily movement. Here, amplified, prepared and sometimes pushed to its limits, it becomes percussion, bass, drone and texture -- a true mouth synthesizer with vast possibilities. Between performance and trance, Ondanaconda crafts an unidentified sonic object, somewhere between collective ritual and raw electroacoustic experiment. Each piece emerges from specific combinations of instruments, exploring timbral affinities and rhythmic or harmonic potentials, while leaving room for drift and improvisation. Repetition acts as an unstable engine, bending patterns until they morph into something else. Together, Laurent Bruttin, Antoine Läng, John Menoud, and Daniel Zea weave a dense, shifting mass where individual voices dissolve into an organic, almost hallucinatory polyphony. Conceived as a continuum, the album unfolds as a hypnotic flow, a physical and immersive music that moves from mouths to bodies, saturating the surrounding space. A radical UFO, at the crossroads of concert, performance and sound installation.

"Feral Grace was written around old childhood places reclaimed by nature, or replaced by new housing estates. Places long forgotten, their purpose discarded as the world moved on. Yet the memories stay there, caught in the undergrowth, thought of once in a while. We remember gathering leaf moss from the woods for our tomato plants. Building dams in shallow streams. Filling our wellies with frog spawn and carrying it home like treasure. Small acts that felt large at the time. Fishing banks where we spent hours. Not talking, just sharing food. Two cans of shandy bass and egg sandwiches. The water long drained and the people gone, but if you look hard enough you can still see the faint outline of where it once was. Some places still hold the paths where people once walked to work. The tracks remain cut into the land, but the work itself has gone. Trades smashed during the years of Thatcher, ripping communities apart. That memory still lives on. You see it when a scab walks into the pub. Some things are never forgotten. The music on Feral Grace sits between then and now. A bridge between memory and the present day. A last spell cast before those memories fade and the fingerprints disappear. Who will know we were here at all? Perhaps only a distant echo left behind in our Feral Grace." --The Black Dog

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

For several decades Norway has had a healthy tradition for prog, psych and jazz fusion -- yet, there's something very different about the ensemble that is Fra Det Onde ("From Evil"). The group is comprised of one of Europe's finest jazz drummers Olaf Olsen (Needlepoint, Motorpsycho, Bigbang and others), bassist Rune Neergaard (Bushman's Revenge, Exoterm) and trumpeter Erik Kimestad -- one of the brightest young stars in current Scandinavian jazz. And they have a secret weapon in the form of sonic wizard Emil Nikolaisen, known for his pioneering noise rock in Serena Maneesh, as well as a collaborative album with Todd Rundgren. He's currently a member of The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Emil not only contributes Farfisa and weird electronics to the group's free flowing streams of sound, he's also responsible for the innovative album mix that expands the ensemble's vision into new and astonishing territory. Smilet Er En Flyktig Tilstand is one of those rare records that manage to absorb the spirit of the past and transform it into something new and exciting. Listening to the suite that makes up most of the album, one can sense the cosmic energy of 1970s Don Cherry, or the sonic adventurism of Can in their prime -- but Fra Det Onde pushes these aesthetics into the extreme. Labels such as "fusion" or "psychedelic jazz" don't really come close to describing the rush of energy and kaleidoscopic sonics that's taking place on this record. Vinyl-only, limited to 500 copies, no digital release. File next to: electric Miles Davis, Can, Don Cherry.

Gold disc CD housed in a digi-pack. Music springs eternal. Recognizing the enduring power of timeless albums to guide the world through life, Forever Records is a reissue series dedicated to rediscovering lost musical treasures from across the spectrum of head-feeding, heart-rending electronic music. Established by Rush Hour co-founder Christiaan Macdonald and Delsin founder Marsel van der Wielen, Forever Records places heartfelt faith in a carefully curated sequence of seminal, largely forgotten records from disparate eras, scenes and spaces within electronic music history. Tipped towards the mellow and introspective, these are albums that stop time when the needle hits the groove, stirring only when it's time to flip over before you sink back into the experience. That's what albums were always meant to be about, back then, right now, always and forever. Striking the sweet spot between sampledelic downtempo and Earth-rooted deep house, Fila Brazillia's Old Codes New Chaos is a maverick patchwork of grooves and soundscapes. Crafted in North East England in the vibrant period before chill-out was co-opted by advertising, Steve Cobby and Dave McSherry's sharp-eared funk formula remains a cult classic suite of exquisite productions spanning deep house, broken beat and ambient shot through with wry humor. Last physically released in limited quantities in 2002, Forever Records are revisiting this 1994 gem with an extensive reissue led by a triple vinyl pressing, newly mastered from the original mixdowns. Also available as a limited edition, 4LP edition (FRVR 002LTD-LP) including bonus tracks plus an exclusive print of Catherine Brennand's watercolor painting that graces the front of the album. All editions also feature liner notes by veteran music journalist John McCready.

Originally released in 1972, The Voice Of The Eagle is one of the most bizarre experiments in Robbie Basho's prime. Featuring Indian mridangam player Ramnad Raghavan, the album epitomizes Basho fascination for eastern-tinged arrangements. This is also a vocal album -- his singing, which John Fahey described as "strangely compelling," came straight from the heart and soul with no regard for restraint, phrasing or timing. Basho never had mass recognition when he was alive and was almost forgotten for years as Fahey, Leo Kottke and his contemporaries carved their legends.

Redux, an ambient-folk album from Portland, Oregon musician, poet, and multimedia artist Dao Strom, is a collection of nine resurrected pieces. Reimagining songs she initially composed as a member of the Austin, Texas alt-country and singer-songwriter scenes of the early 2000s, Strom reworks these lost songs into ambient-folk mini-epics -- part grounded and earthly, part ethereal and otherworldly. Drawing on an intimate yet spacious palette of folk, ambient, and experimental textures, woven through with a poetics of vulnerability and quiet emotion, Redux explores song as gently reverberant fields of layered vocals over finger-picked guitars with touches of electronics and sampling. Strom's musical journey initially began in a roots and acoustic vein, simultaneously with her career as a fiction writer. In the years since, she has moved from Austin, Texas to Juneau, Alaska to Portland, Oregon; her work too has expanded across genres into more experimental formats of poetry, music, and multidisciplinary art. In returning to these earlier songs, Strom reclaims and revives them, exploring her relationships to time, voice, and the continuances of emotion and memory. The word redux means "brought back; revived"; a sense of something restored -- earlier renditions of some of the Redux songs were recorded with Austin-based collaborators and producers; some songs were written in that time period but never recorded. Produced, performed, and recorded by Strom alone in her home studio, Redux is a return and reemergence of the artist to her own most personal, intuitive structures and atmospheres of voice, sound, and song.

"Art Blakey is one of the greatest jazz drummers and first made name for himself in the 1940s when working with bebop musicians Thelonious Monk, Charlie Parker, and Fletcher Henderson. In the mid-1950s, he formed The Jazz Messengers together with Horace Silver, which quickly became known as an incubator for young talent. 35 years after forming The Jazz Messengers, Blakey entered his final year still at it, and with the many promising young players around the time, he expanded the collective from its usual quintet or sextet into a septet for this fine recording session, which includes 'Brain Stormin'' and 'Kenji's Walk.' Due to Blakey constantly persuading his musicians to write music, The Jazz Messengers stayed young in spirit, just like its leader. Chippin' In features Javon Jackson and Dale Barlow, and is available as a limited edition on white colored vinyl and affixed on the protective sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless Jazz sticker."

"French tenor saxophonist and jazz composer Barney Wilen is best known for his contributions to soundtracks and has worked amongst jazz giants as Miles Davis, Art Blakey, and Thelonious Monk. In 1989, he recorded French Story at Studio 44 in The Netherlands together with the Mal Waldron Trio, consisting of the jazz pianist Mal Waldron>, Stafford James on bass, and Eddie Moore on drums. They recorded eight jazz compositions from classic French movies, Julien Dans L'Ascenseur/Florence Sur Les Champs-Elysées and Générique amongst others. Miles Davis' original composition 'Julien Dans L'Ascenseur/Florence Sur Les Champs-Eylsées' comes from his famous album Ascenseur Pour L'échafaud and 'Les Feuilles Mortes (Autumn Leaves)' origins from the French film Les Portes de la Nuit which is one of Yves Montand's classic chansons and 'Un Homme Et Une Fille' is a classic French movie theme. Wilen's album was released in 1990 on the Dutch jazz label Timeless Records. In 1992, the album first appeared on vinyl, but only consisted of six tracks. The full album is being reissued in its entirety and includes the tracks 'No Problem' and 'Quiet Temple.' French Story (Movie Themes From France) is available as a 2LP on black vinyl and affixed on the protective sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless Jazz sticker."

"Cheap Trick is the debut studio album by the American rock band Cheap Trick. It was released in 1977 and produced by Jack Douglas, who is a frequent collaborator of the band and known for his work with Aerosmith. The record remains a cornerstone of American rock and roll, capturing a raw, almost menacing edge that distinguished the band from their more polished contemporaries. The album features the more popular songs 'He's a Whore,' 'Elo Kiddies' and 'Oh, Candy' and entered the Billboard 200 in the United States, marking Cheap Trick's first appearance on the national album chart. It gave the band early visibility and positioned them within the broader rock landscape of the late 1970s. Over time, the album has come to be viewed as the starting point of the band's recorded catalogue. Cheap Trick is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on silver colored vinyl and includes an insert with lyrics."

"In Color is the second studio album by the American rock band Cheap Trick, released in 1977 and produced by Tom Werman. The album featured a more polished, pop-oriented sound compared to their raw debut, and brought forward the popular singles 'Clock Strikes Ten,' 'Southern Girls' and 'I Want You to Want Me.' The latter single became a huge hit and reached high positions on global charts. The band's Power Pop production resonated across the globe, most notably in Japan, where it set the stage for their legendary At Budokan success. In Color forms an important part of Cheap Trick's early discography and is positioned as a key release in the band's 1970s output. The album documents their transition toward the sound that would define their later work. In Color is available as a limited edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on purple colored vinyl and comes in a gatefold sleeve."

"Santana III is an album of 'lasts'. It was the last album recorded with the original Woodstock-line up and the last to hit #1 in the Billboard charts until 1999's Supernatural. But there are also a number of important 'firsts' on this album; Coke Escovedo joins in for the first time on percussion, as does Neal Schon (Journey) -- who was a mere 17 of age when they recorded the album -- on guitar. Santana III is viewed by many as the band's commercial and creative highpoint. The band sounds darker, rawer, and more eager with the doubling up on guitar of Schon's Rock 'n' Roll sensibilities and Santana's ecstatic high notes and soulful fills. Escovedo and Chepito's percussion are as fast as it is furious, and the minimal production adds greatly to the timeless appeal of this album. Santana III is available on black vinyl."

"A rare moment in jazz history is captured on this exceptional live recording from July 1978, featuring saxophonist Eric Kloss and pianist Barry Miles at the peak of their creative powers. What unfolded on stage at the Bürgerzentrum Neue Vahr in Bremen, Germany was nothing short of extraordinary, a performance that critics immediately hailed as one of the finest duo concerts ever heard in the city. Their appearance at the Berliner Jazztage only reinforced this acclaim, with reviewers praising the duo's remarkable interplay, intensity, and artistic daring. Barry Miles, a pioneering force in early jazz fusion, began his musical life as a drummer before switching to piano at nineteen. His technical brilliance and expressive sensitivity shine throughout this recording, performed entirely on acoustic grand piano. Shortly after these duo performances, Miles would embark on a fifteen-year tenure as musical director for Roberta Flack. Eric Kloss, blind from birth, devoted himself wholly to music. He recorded his first album for Prestige at the astonishing age of sixteen and later collaborated with giants such as Chick Corea, Dave Holland, and Jack DeJohnette. His alto saxophone work here is a testament to why he is considered one of the most gifted improvisers of his generation. On Kloss Ecounters, (Live in Bremen 1978), the duo performs self-composed tracks such as 'Mystic Circles,' 'Kloss Encounters,' 'Michelle' and the standard 'My One And Only Love' written by Guy Wood and Robert Mellin. Kloss Encounters, (Live in Bremen 1978), stands as one of the great duo recordings in jazz and is available as a first-ever on vinyl release and includes new liner-notes by Timeless Records founder Wim Wigt. Affixed on the protective sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless Jazz sticker."

"A master of lyrical expression and harmonic elegance, Kenny Barron has long been regarded as one of jazz's most distinguished pianists. Born in Philadelphia in 1943, Barron's journey through the jazz world reads like a tour of its greatest innovators: early work with James Moody, Roy Haynes, and a formative tenure in Dizzy Gillespie's quintet set the stage for a career defined by sophistication, depth, and unmistakable melodic clarity. Through the 1960s and '70s, Barron became a sought-after collaborator, performing with Freddie Hubbard, Jimmy Owens, Yusef Lateef, Milt Jackson, Jimmy Heath, and Stan Getz. His role in the celebrated ensemble Sphere, alongside Buster Williams, Ben Riley, and Charlie Rouse, further cemented his reputation as a musician equally rooted in bebop tradition and forward-looking modernism. Recorded in October 1984, Landscape captures Barron at a moment of profound artistic maturity. Joined by Cecil McBee on bass and Al Foster on drums, this intimate trio session reveals the full breadth of Barron's expressive range. The album includes the traditional 'Hush-A-Bye,' 'Spring Is Here' and two Kenny Barron originals 'Calypso' and 'Sunset.' Landscape by the Kenny Barron Trio is a 40th anniversary edition, contains newly written liner-notes by Timeless Jazz founders Wim & Ria Wigt. Affixed on the sleeve is the 50th Anniversary Timeless sticker."

"American cellist prodigy Yo-Yo Ma recorded Sing Me Home with the Silk Road Ensemble, a musical collective with performers and composers from all over the world. The album features guest appearances by Grammy Award winning artists Toumani Diabaté, Gregory Porter, Lisa Fischer, Bill Frisell, and many more. Released in 2016, Sing Me Home was meant to open hearts, ears, and minds during a time of tragedy and political turmoil. Bringing together the cultural backgrounds of the musicians, Sing Me Home is a culturally conscious album, reflecting on modern globalization and collaboration. From Macedonian folk to traditional music from Mali, and from Irish fiddle to Indian sitar: it all comes together. Critics agreed, and the album went on to win the Grammy Award for Best World Music Album in 2017. Sing Me Home is available as a limited edition of 500 copies on translucent blue colored vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve."

Berlin's Kuboraum Editions celebrates another round of its ongoing Kuboraum Sound Residency with a bumper 19-track volume of exclusive tracks from its vibrant creative community, music that challenges contemporary logic and prioritizes what really matters: experimentation, exchange and evolution. Like its predecessor, Kuboraum Sound Residency Vol. 2 is assembled like a proper album in the classic sense, something that's supposed to be absorbed from start to finish. And although there are no constraints placed on artists, there's a similar radical philosophy that surges through each and every contribution. From beginning to end, it's music that rewards curious ears and open minds. South Korean artist bela opens the compilation with "Mouton and Blade," shaping their powerful voice into an orchestra of growls alongside a wheezing, instrumental ensemble. And Rome's Cosimo Damiano, who's been a part of the Kuboraum family since day one, turns in an unsettling solo experiment, juxtaposing Irma Ticozzelli's pitch shifted voices with scratchy, psychedelic electronics. Catalan pianist, vocalist and producer Marina Herlop traverses her verdant sonic landscape on "alas," matching her singular voice with birdsong to provide a hopeful interspecies dawn chorus. Kenyan vanguard Lord Spikeheart meanwhile links hands with Italian producer Talpah to dream up "SILENCE IN THE C-DRAL," a gruesome trap hybrid that airlifts itself from the basement to the stadium. All of that noise makes Mexican duo Estrella del Sol and Luisa Almaguer's peaceful "Deseo" a necessary palate cleanser. On "TLC," versatile French producer Low Jack reconvenes with Le Diouck, complimenting the Franco-Senegalese artist's throaty rhymes with serpentine synths and jerky rhythms. Colombian sound artist Lucrecia Dalt teams up with percussionist Alex Lázaro, whose flexible electroacoustic rhythms are the perfect foil for her sultry lounge shakes on "Synonym Mask." Bristol's Mun Sing continues his journey towards the club's quirkiest corners with his aptly titled loosie "Fluffy," a bass-heavy, lurching banger. Working again alongside the great Annie Hogan, EROS turn in the moody "Burnt Crossing," a slithering, moonlit addendum to 2024's "Your Truth is a Lie." As the compilation moves into its final act it ventures to the UK once more, stopping in Birmingham for a track from Lee Gamble and in Preston to pick up Rainy Miller's widescreen "My Wings, Never Clipped." Then, fittingly, it's back to Italy for the noisy "Fury," a punky and curiously romantic solo experiment from acclaimed visual artist and musician Emiliano Maggi. The curtains finally close on Julija Castellucci's operatic "Lullaby," a perfectly evocative conclusion to a project that exists between disciplines.

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

Vanessa Van Basten (neither a Dutch singer nor the wife of a famous football player) was born in Genoa, Italy, in 2004 as a one-man band. Founded by Morgan Bellini, a DJ at the time, Vanessa was immediately acclaimed by critics since the release of the first self-titled demo. A cinematic mix of post-rock, sludge metal and shoegaze: quite a new sound within the Italian underground scene in that period. Several labels are interested in producing the band, that seemed to have developed its own style, more focused on the general atmosphere than on brute strength. When permanent drummer Roberto Della Rocca also joined the band, the trio released Psygnosis EP via Consouling Sounds and started playing live quite intensely until 2010, when Bellini moved to Austria and declared the band was again a studio project only. In the same year, Vanessa signed for American label Robotic Empire and released Closer to the Small/Dark/Door, their second album. This full length contains shorter tracks and is influenced also by Morricone and by 4AD '80 albums. To everyone's surprise, in 2023 Bellini reunited the original Vanessa Van Basten lineup and began recording a new album, Yes, to be released by Italian label Subsound Records. The band members consider this album a great return to their early style. Even if Vanessa Van Basten never pushed on promotion or social networks and with less than a hundred live shows in the mid '00, it has always been critically acclaimed, it is considered a cult band and it has unsuspected admirers, as Randy Blithe of Lamb of God (who said they're "geniuses"). Also available on color vinyl (SSR 168LTD-LP).

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

We Release Jazz continues its collaboration with Belgian jazzman Casimir Liberski with another Zelda-themed rendition, following his celebrated Z Suites album. This time it's a full-on live session -- Casimir Libersk ReTRio's Zelda Suites (The Live Album) is a heroic Hyrule jazz adventure available in half speed mastered DLP in a heavyweight sleeve with obi. Casimir Liberski reimagines the golden era of video game soundtracks with live jazz versions of Zelda favorites The Legend of Zelda (1986), A Link to the Past (1991), Link's Awakening (1993), and Oscarina of Time (1998) -- and tons of Easter eggs! Dancing between nostalgia and avantgarde, the Brussels-born pianist and composer crafts a sonic world of pixelated folklore where melody and improvisation coexist in harmony. Zelda Suites (The Live Album) is the origin story of Liberski's acclaimed Z Suites album. He explains: "The live recording of Zelda Suites (The Live Album) preceded the studio recording that later comprised ReTRio's first album. This live recording was captured at the end of a tour in Germany and Belgium, in Osnabrück, in a small, intimate venue. This new album therefore contains only 'hot first takes,' imbued with all the emotion that permeated our playing that evening. In a way, it's perhaps more closely linked to my initial vision for the project: to 'take the iconic themes from the Legend of Zelda games that shaped my childhood and perform them live through a jazz lens.' For me, the conditions of live performance are the very essence of jazz. There's a frankness of being present, in the very moment the music is created and, one might say, listens to itself, that draws the musicians into a fervor and audacity that often transcends them. The magic of jazz comes at this price. Unapologetic, as they say in English. This album reveals a perhaps more authentic and unrestrained side of our playing. No excuses. Again, long live Hyrule jazz!"

WRWTFWW Records presents the first ever vinyl release for the Startled Insects' 1984-1985 abstract/synth-pop/post-punk/electronic run compiled into one album: The Antenna Years. The Bristol music must-have comes as a limited-edition LP with astonishing artwork, liner notes and a heavyweight sleeve. The Antenna Years compiles the independent EPs/mini-LPs the Startled Insects released in 1984 (self-titled) and 1985 (Underworld/Black Spring), with two bonus unreleased tracks that were only ever played in their live shows ("W.W.W" and "What A Waste," both amazing). Astonishingly futuristic when they landed in 1984, the Startled Insects sounded like they came from another planet while staying rooted in Bristol's underground. Abstract electronic, leftfield synth-pop, dub science, gamelan heat, post-punk edge, cinematic atmosphere: The Antenna Years delivers one beautifully odd voyage into the sonic unknown. In the '90s, the band released two albums, including the classic Curse Of The Pheromones via Antilles New Directions (Island Records), then evolved into The Insects: film composers for BBC/National Geographic, Emmy winners, and key architects of the '90s Bristol orbit, working with Massive Attack, Goldfrapp, Tricky, and members of Portishead. Four decades on, The Antenna Years still hits like a transmission from the future. Dive in with no fear.

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

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

"Big Joe Turner was one of the most powerful and influential blues shouters of all time, whose booming voice and charismatic presence played a pivotal role in the birth of rock and roll. He bridged the gap between jump blues and the emerging rock and roll sound of the 1950s, a true pioneer who brought the raw energy of rhythm and blues to a wider audience. This album focuses on his key R&B chart-hit singles from 1956-1960, a defining period in his career. Honey Hush The R&B Hits 1956-60 is an electrifying collection that captures Big Joe Turner at his best. This LP features his most iconic tracks, including the classic anthems that became a blueprint for rock and roll: 'Shake, Rattle & Roll' and 'Flip Flop And Fly.' The album showcases his incredible vocal power and a tracklist filled with essential hits like the swaggering title track 'Honey Hush' and the soulful 'Chains Of Love.' From the mournful 'Still In The Dark' to the party atmosphere of 'Well Alright,' this collection captures the full emotional and sonic range of his talent. The album's tracklist demonstrates his mastery of the genre, moving seamlessly from the smooth R&B of 'The Chill Is On' to the lively jump blues of 'T.V. Mama.' The collection also includes classics like 'Sweet Sixteen' and 'Corrine, Corrina,' showcasing the rich, diverse sound that made him a legend. From the insistent rhythm of 'Rock A While' to the confident swagger of 'Lipstick, Powder And Paint,' this is a must-have album for anyone interested in the foundational years of rock and roll."

During the late 1950s and early 1960s, they became a cornerstone of the Savoy label, which was at the forefront of gospel music. Their sound was a powerful blend of traditional gospel fervor and polished vocal arrangements, a style that left an indelible mark on the genre and continues to inspire today. This LP, Leave It All To Him: The Savoy & Gospel Singles 1958-62, is a powerful testament to their legacy. It is a definitive collection of their work from this golden era, showcasing their most uplifting and poignant singles. From the soulful call of 'Swing Low' to the comforting message of the title track 'Leave It All To Him,' the album is a spiritual journey. It features the powerful declaration of faith in 'I'll Shout When I Get Home', the poignant 'Fountain Of Blood', and the uplifting 'My Change Will Come'. The collection's tracklist demonstrates their mastery of the genre, moving seamlessly from the smooth harmonies of 'In My Father's House' to the soulful guidance of 'Show Me The Way' and 'Guide My Weary Feet'. It includes a breadth of spiritual themes, from the hopeful 'If You Wait' to the timeless narrative of 'Lazarus'. With every track, from 'Reach Out And Touch Him' and 'The Sower' to 'Down On Me', this album is a must-have for any fan of classic gospel music and a vital document of a key period in the genre's history."

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

"Raw, defiant, and steeped in heavy roots reality, Kunta Kinte Roots captures Ranking Dread at the height of his powers -- riding the rhythm with fire and authority over deep Channel One-style dub backdrops.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

RELEASE DATE: 7/10/2026
Rediscover a defining moment of Scandinavian underground rock with the vinyl reissue of Lea Riders Group's 1968 single "The Forgotten Generation" b/w "Dom Kallar Oss Mods" -- a raw and uncompromising snapshot of youth culture at the edge. Released in connection with the groundbreaking Swedish documentary They Call Us Misfits, the B-side "Dom Kallar Oss Mods" became an enduring cult statement -- a gritty, hypnotic track that channels the disillusionment and attitude of a generation outside the mainstream. This reissue brings both sides of this rare 1968 single back to life -- from the defiant punch of "The Forgotten Generation" to the shadowy, cinematic pull of "Dom Kallar Oss Mods." Reissued for the first time.

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

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

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

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

The next release in M-Plant's Perpetual Masters series is Robert Hood's Invincible EP, freshly remastered for 2026 by Thomas Heckmann. Originally released in 2001, Invincible stands as another defining example of his stripped-back, approach to techno while still radiating tough funk and groove. Released during a period when Hood was refining the minimalist aesthetic he helped pioneer, the record balances mechanical precision with emotional intensity. The tracks unfold through subtle shifts in percussion, looping synth patterns and driving basslines, to create a meditative momentum that sounds just as fresh today.

Italian hard-rockers who chased the dream to London in '73 and recorded a full album in the very same studio and with the very same engineer as Led Zeppelin. Never released at the time, here it is in full hard-rock/proto-metal glory. Moby Dick were a fierce, English-singing rock band born in Naples in 1968, driven by zero compromises, and a motto that said it all: "no drugs, no bullshit -- just music." Blending Mediterranean fire with a hard-rock sound deeply inspired by Led Zeppelin, they carved out a reputation on the Italian live circuit before cutting a now-legendary, long-lost album in London in 1973. Formed in the Vomero district of Naples by guitarist Toni Di Mauro and bassist Enzo Petrone, the band came together with drummer Adriano Assanti and, after a relentless search, vocalist Sandro Coppola. Early rehearsals shook the walls of a tiny apartment, while their live shows -- explosive, chaotic -- earned them a cult following across Italy. They tore through clubs and festivals from Naples to Rome, Milan, and the Adriatic coast, known for wild performances, pyrotechnics, and sheer sonic power -- often for little or no pay. Backed by their loyal road manager Bruno and championed by promoter Maurizio Mauri, Moby Dick built their reputation the hard way: on stage. By 1973, against all odds, they secured a deal to record in London with a top engineer linked to the British rock elite. For the band, it was the dream realized: two intense weeks of rehearsing, refining, and recording their definitive statement. Despite the momentum, the album was never released. Industry hesitation, internal fractures, and shifting fortunes saw the band dissolve shortly after returning to Italy. Members drifted apart, opportunities pulled them in different directions, and the recordings were left behind. Featuring remastered sound from the original master tapes. Includes insert with liner notes and photos. Also includes download card including the full album plus four killer bonus tracks recorded in 1970. RIYL: Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, early Balletto Di Bronzo, '70s hard rock, proto-metal, underground European hard-rock.

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

Go Public mixes dub, afrobeat, post punk, new wave, and disco to the max building up the energy till the room is moving and the floors are shaking. The Atlanta four-piece is made up of Sean Rawls (Masters of the Hemisphere, Still Flyin'), Adrian Finch (Masters of the Hemisphere, Dances with Wolves, Elf Power), Jay Domingo, and Sam Gunn. The band formed in 2020 and released a cassette titled EP in late 2022. You Are Traffic is their debut album feels and sounds like Atlanta with its sweat-soaked dance rhythms, its lyrical content that radiates like the colorful murals and street art that cover the city, it's an album propulsive in nature like the abundant green canopy that breathes life and provides comfort from the oppressive heat. You are Traffic is bursting with joy while taking in everything around it and presenting it back to the listener. The world is on fire so you might as well dance. Go Public would fit nicely next to Maximum Joy, ESG, Liquid Liquid, and James Chance."

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

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

2026 repress. The belly dance holy grail from the organ king of Cairo, combining traditional rhythms with spaced out modern sounds. Hany Mehanna, beloved musician and composer of the greatest artists from the Arab world such as Oum Kalthoum and Abdel Halim Hafez, shows himself from a more experimental side on his solo albums. Originally released in 1973, The Miracles of the Seven Dances is a pure work of genius: hypnotic organ grooves, psychedelic guitars, mystic strings and haunting percussion.

2026 repress. Om Kalsoum! They call her "The Rose of the Nile," "The Queen of the Nile," "The Daughter of the Nile" or even "The 4th Pyramid of Egypt" since she's known as the greatest Egyptian singer of all times. Om Kalsoum's mythical life story of a poor peasant girl who grew up to become the face of Egypt is a 20th-century fairytale. Almost half a decade after her death the power of her music and singing is still moving the hearts of millions of people worldwide. At the end of her overwhelming career she was introduced to the young but brilliant composer Baligh Hamdy who wrote this 30-minute lasting monument for her in 1969. In the footsteps of Mohamed Abdel Wahab, the godfather of Egyptian modern music, Baligh Hamdy refreshed the classical Egyptian orchestra sound with the addition of stylish instruments like electric guitar (Omar Khorshid), organ (Hany Mehanna), accordeon and horns that were adapted to the eastern tonal system. The studio version of this immortal Alf Leila we Leila must undeniably be archived under the best recordings ever made in music history!

2026 repress. "Enta Omri" is Om Kalsoum's most famous song, composed by Mohamed Abdel Wahab, who is still rightly regarded as a prominent musician and composer in Egypt. The creation of this song was the first long expected collaboration of two musical giants, which came at the repeated urging of Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser. There was talk in Egypt on the streets and in the media about what was believed to be a cold relationship between the two legends. Finally, after years of estrangement, Mohamed Abdel Wahab took the initiative and offered Om Kalsoum a song by poet Ahmed Shafiq Kamel, for which he had just composed a musical score. To his surprise, she responded positively and started to like the theme upon hearing it a few times. After a month of rehearsals, "Enta Omri" was released in February 1964 to critical acclaim and packed performances. The event was so grand it was labeled "The Cloud Meeting." With "Enta Omri," Abdel Wahab opened up the traditional repertoire of the diva to a more innovative style, which the composer was known for. The use of the electric guitar and a long instrumental intro, fusing oriental themes with Western musical elements, made the song particularly special, securing its place in Egyptian musical history. Despite some criticism from other Egyptian composers from that era, the song was soon recognized as a milestone and opened a path to modernize Arabic music for many other musicians and singers. "Enta Omri" is loved by Arab and non-Arab audiences alike. Paying respect to the great diva, dozens of artists around the world have reinterpreted the song, adopting the intro's catchy guitar melody in their compositions.

2026 repress. The rich and lengthy instrumental intro is just a precursor of the emotion present in this song. The talent of the composer is underlined by how he utilizes the traditional style of singing poetry in a more open and creative way. Abdel Wahab's infusing of long and groovy interludes with varied tonality, rhythmical patterns and an overall unique approach, carries Om Kalsoum's powerful voice and brings the song to an incredible climax. In this way, he gives more color and depth to the music and the skilled soloists in the orchestra are finally able to breathe. Sensual rhythms, breaks and dazzling solos of accordeon (Faruk Salamah), guitar (Omar Khorshid), violin (Ahmed Al Hefnawy) and organ (Hany Mehanna), have ensured this song is an all-time classic for belly dance routines. Souma Records thought it was time to re-release this monument on a high-quality vinyl format.

Originally released in 1990 by Happy Mondays, this album captured the chaotic, euphoric spirit of the Madchester movement, blending indie rock, acid house rhythms and funk grooves into a sound that helped reshape British alternative music.

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

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