*2025 much needed repress!!!* Music For Bus Stations is an astonishing work that pours into the soul of those allowing themselves to be transported in a dimension where sound turns into background noise.

"Generative sonic backdrop for bus stations. Designed to enhance space and portray a mod of progressiveness, grandeur, and …
Appunti sonori su infinite sequenze
If during the early years of his long and prolific artistic activity, Fabio Orsi made extensive use of acoustic and concrete sound sources in his music, often painting very 'earthly' environmental realms, more recently he has definitively 'taken off', abandoning the earth to search for scenarios made of a purely synthetic matrix, building a myriad of dense electronic textures and pulsations, projected into the infinite and unexplored spaces of the universe.
This double CD collects a series of "s…
Fade, Remain

*200 copies limited edition* "Cold Star: A Noise Inc." is a collaboration between Deison and Cranioclast.

Summer Fun - Music for Hotels Vol. 2
The compilation "Return to Acapulco - Music for Hotels Vol. 1", curated by Vittore Baroni and released in the summer of 2024, collected 16 songs created by as many musicians as a soundtrack for the different areas of a typical seaside hotel structure.

No Peace, No Love (Book + CD)
*Please note that the book part of this edition is available in Italian language only.* "I first listened to Crass in the late summer of 1979: a friend, just back from a trip to London, had brought me a newly released record, "Stations of the Crass", as a present. I had already read about them somewhere, perhaps because of a censorship issue they were involved in, but I had never really heard of them. That was their second album, and it ended up substituting for a long time, to the indignation o…
Touching
A magnificent document of the music of the young Paul Bley. Recorded at the end of 1965 with Kent Carter - double bass and Barry Altschul - drums, "Touching" shows the already advanced musical conception of someone who over the years will establish himself as one of the greatest pianists in the history of Jazz. Between original pieces and compositions by Carla Bley and Annette Peacock, Bley's music unfolds with an autonomous step and extreme originality compared to most of the avant-garde pianis…
Anatomy of a South African Village
One of the most beautiful albums of the first production of the great South African pianist. Recorded live in 1965 at Cafe Montmartre in Copenhagen, in trio with Johnny Gertze - double bass and Makaya Ntshoko - drums, "Anatomy of a South African Village" shows the various aspects of the poetics of the then Dollar Brand and future Abdullah Ibrahim. From the circular and hypnotic pianism of African inspiration to the angularity of Monkish style, here expressed in the declared reinterpretation of c…

Ode To Quetzalcoatl
Repress in vintage-styled tip-on hard cardboard sleeve. Guerssen Records present a reissue of Dave Bixby's Ode To Quetzalcoatl, originally released in 1969. Since its discovery in the late '90s, Dave Bixby's legendary $2000 private press album from 1969 is considered by all serious record collectors as the king in the loner / downer folk genre. After being involved in '60s Michigan folk and garage-rock bands such as The Shillelaghs and Peter & The Prophets, Bixby started playing acoustic guitar …
It's Always Now
Ralph Alessi’s fourth appearance as a leader for the label follows a singular album run that’s been met with nothing but praise from The New York Times to The Guardian. The latter lauded Ralph’s previous recording Imaginary Friends (2019) for its “elegant balance of poignant, playful original compositions and gracefully probing improv” and declared it “his best album yet”. It’s Always Now however brims with arguments that there is a new contender for that title. On his new album, Alessi’s unique…

Lost Words represents both a culmination and a new beginning. The album f…
Angel Song
“Destined to go down in history as a jazz classic” was the verdict with which The Guardian greeted this album on its release in 1997, saying, “Wheeler’s compositions and four of the world’s greatest improvisers make for a tranquil set that rewards with every listening. This is beautiful, golden music.” Angel Song is among the apexes of the label’s catalogue, uniting four master-improvisers – each with a unique artistic identity – in an intimate, drummer-less quartet session. Kenny Wheeler is the…
September Night
Recorded at Munich’s Muffathalle twenty years ago, in September 2004, this previously-unreleased concert recording of the Tomasz Stanko Quartet is a fascinating document, capturing a developmental chapter in the music between the song forms of the Suspended Night repertoire and the improvised areas that the Polish musicians would explore on Lontano. The Munich show was a highlight in a year in which the Stanko Quartet played a record number of gigs, with extensive tours of the US and Europe. T…
John Scofield
John Scofield’s first guitar-solo-recording ever gives a résumé of all the influences and idioms he has cultivated over his career in performances on guitar, accompanied by his own rhythmic pulse and chordal backing using a loop machine. Besides jazz, John is known to have always also had a soft spot for the rock and roll and country music he grew up with, revealed here in unencumbered renditions of Buddy Holly’s “Not Fade Away” and Hank Williams’ “You Win Again”. Between elegant and personal re…
