Orthodox Approach
1995 release ** "Years ago there was a concert with the Zug percussionist Beat Föllmi in a factory in Cham that was supposed to be demolished, which was recorded on a CD with the title “unorthodox approach”. It was all about free improvisation and an extensive and unusual set of sound instruments: the most powerful piece was a gong over two meters in diameter. Today – 1996 – the same percussionist titles his latest recording “orthodox approach”. The change from “unorthodox” to “orthodox” is not …
At The BBC 1967 - There and Then and Sounding Great
Long before he carved his dual legend as both popular jazz-funkster and the ultimate peripatetic guest soloist, beloved by fusion and straight-ahead fans alike, tenor saxophonist Dick Morrissey had been one of the UK’s brightest and best modern jazzmen. During the 1960s his regular quartet explored very nearly every aspect of the jazz genre, from down home blues to the fringes of the avant-garde, as is displayed in these previously unreleased radio recordings from 1967. Over two fascinating sets…

Sei Note In Logica / Sonanze (2 LP bundle)
Over the last decade, Superior Viaduct has become synonymous with making the improbable and impossible real. One after another, spanning nearly every idiom of ambitious music, they’ve reissued some of the greatest holy grails in the history of sound. Now they’re back with two more, this time returning to their deep dedication to Italian Minimalism, with beautifully produced vinyl reissues of two of movement’s most important artefacts: the seminal composer Roberto Cacciapaglia’s 1975 debut, “Sona…
Four Compositions (Quartet) 1983
1993 release ** "Before getting to the music of this Anthony Braxton recording, the listener is confronted with a highly calculated methodology. The album bears the stark title Four Compositions (Quartet) 1983, and each song (itself merely a cataloged number) is accompanied by its own highly cryptic diagram. This sets up a struggle, whereby musical/emotional ends must be achieved through Braxton's analytical compositional means. For this 1983 session, Braxton selected materials from his collecti…
Clouddead
cLOUDDEAD's debut album, compiling six 10" EPs that appeared between 2000-2001, is aurally dense and obscured. A sprawling mass of miniature beat-suites and Dadaist lyrics, this strange and beautiful 3xLP would influence a myriad of sub-genres (cloud rap, hauntology, lo-fi hip-hop, etc.) in the two decades since its initial release. Only the three members of cLOUDDEAD – Why?, Doseone and Odd Nosdam – can speak to the group's origins, but in the context of underground hip-hop towards the end of t…
Altarwise
2009 release ** "We are very pleased to present the latest recordings by Birds Of Tin: a project we have long admired and fate finally brought us together. The two lengthy tracks of "Altarwise" were recorded in late 2004 and remastered earlier this year. The first track is a 30-minute experimental work that gradually moves through a wide range of sounds (echoing chimes, mysterious noises, subdued clanking, drones). The second piece is an epic 46-minute composition of deep ambient/drone music tha…
The Diamonds Four
Big Tip! This exceptionally rare library album by Italian composer, musician, and guitarist Mario Molino was first released on the obscure library music imprint B.M.P. during the 1970s. It was later issued on the highly collectible Music Scene label rebranded as Action Beat Group (MSE-144), featuring different track titles and attributed to the pseudonym Luigi Ferracioli. Although much about him remains unknown to this day, Mario Molino was a prominent figure in the world library music, celebrat…
Union
*2024 stock* "Muriel Grossmann's music had an immediate impact on me from the moment I first heard it. It was music with dedication, speaking from the heart. I felt it speaks of past and present, with joy and happiness. Ten seconds into listening and I was hooked. I was all over the web trying to find a vinyl copy, but strangely enough there wasn't any available. Without a second thought we decided to get in touch with Muriel and ask how that is possible. And behold, before long, we were listeni…
The Light of the Mind
"Those who know know. Muriel Grossmann's reputation as a leading practitioner of spiritual jazz that grooves, deeply grooves, has grown steadily with every new recording.

From her recording studio and her own label Dreamlandrecords on the island o…

Finestra . Window
With this new release in the “box” series, Ants continues to propose "sound objects" that have to do with sound, even without explicitly containing it in a predetermined form. Starting from the experiences with the World Soundscape Project by R. Murray Shafer and the study of texts by Torsten Hägerstrand and Henri Lefebvre, Albert Mayr processes a potential score, a path / game in the world of sound and relationship with time and space. Albert Mayr’s verbal score is constructed in the form of a …
Fame di Vento
Huge Tip! Fame di Vento is Manuel Zurria's latest work. A triple CD to evoke the many suggestions and projects that have taken place in recent years, full of collaborations, of the Sicilian flautist. Fame Di Vento is also an idealized homage to Alighiero Boetti, a nomad by culture and vocation. In his footsteps, Manuel draws on the most diverse cultures, from the Lithuanian mystics to India and Sicily, from just-intonation to European-style minimalism. As he has already done in the past, Zurria …
Chamber Music
*50 copies limited edition* Steve Peters' sound art is completely out of the box and free. His research addresses the intimate essence of the sound of nature and things. For Peters every place is an instrument - in the literal sense and in the musical sense of the word. A place where sound already exists, or where it can be made to exist. In the form that the place suggests and that the artist's inspiration receives and regenerates. You can call it sound art or compositions, installations or son…
Dorgon Y Su Grupo
2025 stock ** "Released not recently for the underground 'Jumbo' Dorgon y su grupo will make us discover and feel no longer a solitary and difficult Dorgon or immersed in impromptu and meticulous 'two-up' experiences. Accompanied and supported for the occasion by Curtis Hasselber (guitar and trombone), Ted Reichman (accordion), his partner Laura Cromwell (drums) and Matt Moran (vibes), this phantasmagoric figure of 'metropolitan minstrel' will confirm his multifaceted soul and desire to push him…

Forgotten Gods
1993 release ** "With its rich blend of elemental rhythms, mutated voicings and expanded fourth world tribal spaces, Forgotten Gods succeeds admirably in the quest for an improvised spacemusic. Like jazz, you can listen to each of the players and consider their moment-to-moment artistic choices. Like avant-garde work it achieves something wholly new, yet it also manages to satisfy the tonal, rhythmic and textural demands common in other forms of polar music. That's not bad for starters, but unde…
