Rag Kaunsi Kanhra
2024 Stock. This sensuous evening raga for the bamboo bansuri flute was recorded with tabla by Sabir Khan.
Rag Lalit
2024 Stock. The Sarangi remains not only the authentic and original Indian bowed instrument but the one which most poignantly, and in the hands of Ram Narayan, most revealingly expresses the very soul of Indian feeling and thought. I cannot separate the Sarangi from Ram Narayan, so thoroughly fused are they, not only in my memory but in the fact of this sublime dedication of the great musician to an instrument which is no longer archaic because of the matchless way he has made it speak
Raga Shuddha Todi
*2024 stock* Zia Mohiuddin Dagar was the pre-eminent master of the Rudra Vina, and his profound artistry and understanding of Raga -- and the states of consciousness embodied in them -- is evident on this album. If you appreciate North Indian music, you will probably already know of Dagar Sahib's work. If you are new to the genre, this album may seem abstract if you don't have the knack of going below the usual mind-stuff (with which most of us are preoccupied) to the deep meditative state which…
Rag Darbari / Rag Chandra Kanhra
2024 Stock. The album presents a deeply meditative world, resonating with the mysteries of India. When it comes to sarangi - a forgotten Indian instrument that has been overshadowed by the violin in terms of popularity and accessibility - nobody can compare to Ram Narayan. Both Ram's growth and the ragas performed on this CD are deeply emotional. Additionally, the tabla playing is both powerful and precise. To experience the ethereal sarangi sound, this is a must-have.
Ram Narayan (1927-) is a…
Joy, Oh I Missed You
Lucy Duncombe and Feronia Wennborg compose a modern symphony for virtual choir on 'Joy, Oh I Missed You', muddling sound poetry with Nuno Canavarro and ‘Systemische'-style machine-damaged surrealism. It's mindbogglingly good, like a mashup of Lee Gamble's 'Models', Akira Rabelais' 'Spellewauerynsherde' and Robert Ashley's timeless 'Automatic Writing’ screwed to perfection in a mode that will also appeal if you’re into work by Kara-Lis Coverdale, Nozomu Matsumoto, Theo Burt, Olli Aarni, Sydney Sp…
Like Swallowing Eclipses
VERY last copies!!! - The first 500 mail-order copies version that includes the playable full-color picture-postcard reproducing David Tibet's painting of the track Like Swallowing SunBeams, inserted in risograph-printed CandyBag. The box set essentially represents a dark ambient/industrial re-imagination of Current 93's early apocalyptic works, where Andrew Liles has extracted and amplified the most disturbing and ritualistic elements, creating soundscapes that function as sonic invocations rat…
Papotier
Marking the final chapter of a visionary trilogy, “Papotier” sees Pancrace return in full force. A haunting exploration of breath, language, and acoustics, recorded around a historic Silbermann organ in Alsace, the album is a radical statement of sonic identity - fragile, fearless, and gloriously unclassifiable.
Barry Dransfield
*2025 stock* In 1972, Barry Dransfield recorded his debut solo album. Just called “Barry Dransfield”, the album is a real delight from start to finish. It features an array of traditional songs arranged by Barry, some original ones and some fantastic covers from people like Michael Hurley (“The werewolf”) and David Ackles (“Be my friend”). Sadly, the album was deleted just after nine months from his initial release, because it was released on Folk Mill, a Polydor sublabel created to enter the fo…
The New Street In Old City
The album "The New Street In Old City" by December Thirty Jazz Trio, released in 1993, is recognized as an important jazz work. The trio consists of pianist Giorgio Occhipinti, bassist Giuseppe Guarrella, and drummer Francesco Branciamore. This album showcases their development of a unique sound and artistic expression in jazz, blending melody with freedom of improvisation. The music combines inventive concepts with intense yet clean melodic lines, making it compelling and a significant part of …
Banquet
Banquet was the fourth album by the legendary German rock band, fronted by British singer John Lawton. This album featured the band temper their usual hard rock style with a Santana-esque jazz-fusion edge, with help from a full brass section. Rated their most progressive album by fans. Five lengthy band-penned tracks, with standout opening pirate-themed 'Spanish Galleon' and the string-enhanced ballad 'Sorrow'.
Red Rope - 3 Pieces For 2 Players
2024 Stock. Minor signs of wear from long-time storage. ** "On this set recorded live at the Knitting Factory, George Cartwright (switching between various saxophones) and clarinetist Michael Lytle battle it out on three lengthy free improvisations."
A White Line
2024 Stock. Minor signs of wear from long-time storage. ** "A White Line is, in many ways, Austrian composer, arranger, flugelhorn player, and bandleader Franz Koglmann's most controversial work because in it, he dares to use race as a compositional element. His is not merely a cultural dissension but a musical one. A White Line is Koglmann's salute to the white lineage in jazz, from Bix Beiderbecke through to Chet Baker, and including perhaps even one of his guests on this recording: pianist an…

2024 Stock. Minor signs of wear from long-time storage. ** André Ricros is the founder and director of the Agence des musiques traditionnelle d’Auvergne (the equivalent of our CMTRA); he is a specialist in collecting and also a musician and singer. He plays the cabrette, a kind of Auvergne bagpipe – with a softer sound, however, than that of its Celtic equivalents. It is his contribution that gives the basic colouring to this album recorded in Lyon 23 years ago.But the other musicians come from …
