The Library Archive Vol. 2
*2025 stock* The spirit of KPM, DeWolfe & I Marc 4 distilled in a lockup garage in Leeds returns for a second helping. The funky, atmospheric, evocative and sometimes downright weird output of companies such as DeWolfe, Cavendish, Burton and the ubiquitous KPM have always been a guiding inspiration for ATA Records, as evidenced in the spooky soundtrack works of The Sorcerers, the big band brass of The Yorkshire Film & Television Orchestra and even in the soul-jazz of The Lewis Express ('Theme Fr…

Sounds On Grief
"Sounds On Grief is a multidisciplinary project that offers a fresh lens on the processes and reflections of grief. The idea for the project came out of being thrown into my own depths of grief with the unexpected passing of my mom in September 2023. I felt a seismic shift demarcating life before and after her passing, searching for words, music, and art that felt relatable and made me feel a little less alone in grappling with this new life. I was curious to hear how others processed grief, and…
NDR Jazz Workshop No. 25
National and international jazz musicians were invited to the NDR for the Jazz Workshop series. A number of ten to twenty musicians could rehearse for some days and finally present their results to the North German listeners in a live studio concert. The organizer focused on offering some space for experimenting to different musicians who otherwise would never have played together, and to free them from their daily commercial pressures within that period of time. Even though all predominant jazz…

Devised by the same team supporting the likes of Muddy Waters and Etta James at Chess, the vintage of Checker Gospel celebrated here is distinguished by its expertly raw, rugged, live feel — thumping bass and pounding drums, bluesy guitar and horns — and its keen engagement with contemporary realities and politics, with an underlying, unwavering commitment to the Civil Rights mo…
Waiting for Your Return: A Shidaiqu Anthology 1927-1952, Pt. I
Shidaiqu literally means "songs of the era", a term used to describe a hybrid musical genre that first began permeating through the cosmopolitan city of Shanghai in the late 1920s. Blending western pop, jazz, blues and Hollywood-inspired film soundtracks with traditional Chinese elements, the shidaiqu represented a musical and cultural merging that would go on to shape a golden age of Chinese popular song & film in the pre-communism interwar period.
Waiting for Your Return brings together a wide…

Pagan Psych-Folk Glam Vocal Sounds of the Italian Cinema (1965-1977)
Pagan Psych-Folk Glam Vocal Sounds of the Italian Cinema is a superb collection of extremely obscure gems culled from a variety of forgotten films. Featuring mostly vocal tracks, these songs are dripping with that mid 1960s to mid 1970s exploratory nature of song-craft, from clever and majestic to the ridiculously absurd. Acoustic guitars laced with strings and subtle effects, haunting and moody lyrical tales, and epic ballads that rock - all of them fitting together like an impossible puzzle th…
