Universal Consciousness
*2025 repress* Universal Consciousness is the fifth solo album by Alice Coltrane, released in 1971 on Impulse! Records. Universal Consciousness builds nicely on albums that came before it. It grows out of the unbridled celebration of her late husband's life on A Monastic Trio and the soulful wanderings of her most well-known record, Journey in Satchadananda.In The Wire's "100 Records That Set the World on Fire," David Toop writes, "[Universal Consciousness] clearly connects to other dyspeptic ja…

This groundbreaking collective work spearheaded the Tropicalia movement, led by Brazilian legends Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil, along with Gal Costa, Tom Zé, Nara Leão, and the wildly inventive Os Mutantes.
Blending traditional Brazilian sounds with psychedelic rock, avant-garde experimentation, and international pop influences, the alb…

Jazz Frontier
Reissue, originally released in 1963. Lou Blackburn's debut Imperial session has to be considered mostly a bop album, even though traces of contemporary pop culture and soul are clearly an influence. The trombone player is joined by Freddie Hill (trumpet), Horace Tapscott (piano), John Duke (bass), and Leroy Henderson (drums). Blackburn was born in Rankin, Pennsylvania, during the 1950s, he played swing music with Lionel Hampton. In the early 1960s, he began performing with musicians like Cat An…
Milano Undiscovered - Early 80s Electronic Disco Experiments
*Special discounted pricing. 2026 repress* 40 years after the beginnings of the Italo disco movement 'Milano Undiscovered' leads us to discover the first ferments of the Milanese post-punk dance scene. In the early 80's future producers began to veer towards a form of dance music not yet defined, what once seemed like an experimental form, today sounds like a cornerstone for future development in the club scene of key city as Berlin, Paris, Stockholm and Amsterdam.
Italo disco was first mistreat…

Claire Rousay completes her trilogy with A Little Death, where field recordings intertwine with strings and piano like voices in a chamber ensemble. A return to her core practice after sentiment's pop forms, the album transforms tactile samples into emotional archaeology—fragile, honest, vital.
White Light/White Heat
2018 repress; 2008 release. While 1967's Velvet Underground & Nico was a part of Andy Warhol's global artistic vision, 1968's White Light/White Heat
was free of all Warholian influence, so in a way it could be thought of
as another debut album. Here the music was left to fester on its own,
with no artistic visionary interfering or trying to create a soundtrack
for his pop art, and the Velvets filled that void with an album that is
an aural subway car full of drunkards, junkies and whores ru…

The album's striking cover — featuring a figu…

1982
Dark Entries flashes back to the grimy streets of New York City circa 1982 to bring us an unreleased album from cult outfit Ike Yard. Comprised of Stuart Argabright, Michael Diekmann, Kenneth Compton, and Fred Szymanski, Ike Yard sits between the sinewy proto-body music of the Neue Deutsche Welle and the shattered grooves of their No Wave peers in New York.
The band’s initial run was short but blinding. They released an EP for Les Disques du Crépuscule in 1981, which was followed by their legend…

“Killer spiritual jazz album from Denmark, superb repress” - Gilles Peterson, BBC Radio 6
Lite Hits
In the early 90s there were a few like minded friends making a unique style of lo-fi pop music. At the core of this non-scene were Sukpatch, Land of the Loops and The Ah Club, who all tended to play on each other's recordings. As the decade went on each of them learned how to use their instruments better, smoothing over the edges, but in typical fashion, the early home recordings had a special feeling that couldn’t be replicated with cleaner fidelity and nicer equipment. Sukpatch especially were…
Mare's Tail
In 1969 both Anthony Moore and David Larcher were at the start of their respective careers and both were inspired by the ideas of the avant garde and the new technologies becoming available to them. David experimented with the various techniques being explored in the medium of film making and Anthony tested the limits of what could be done with tape recorders. It was an open and co-operative exploration. The results of their first collaboration was the film Mare’s Tail - an unusually long 2:30 h…

The Space In Which The Uncontrollable Unknown Resides, Can Be The Place From Which Creation Arises
2025 Stock. A true exploration in spiritual jazz that follows A transcendental journey that takes in meditative musical mantras, sprawling tenor sax improvisation and mesmeric percussion, the new album by Work Money Death (the group that backed ATA artist Tony Burkill on his 2017 debut record of the same name) seeks to reinterpret the sound of artists such as Pharoah Sanders & Alice Coltrane over two tracks: the brooding tension of A-Side “Dusk” and the sanguine & uplifting “Dawn” on the B-Side.…
