Tacet
Highly surreal and wonderfully futuristic, Tacet, one of the best kept secrets of the Futura catalog, is the 1971 soundtrack work of Jean Guérin for Claude Faraldo's anarchic 1971 film Bof... Anatomie d'un livreur. This avant-garde psychedelic jazz masterpiece is a blend of abstract vocals, unusual electronics, twisted sound envelopes, and nervous brass instruments. This first-ever officially-licensed vinyl reissue is the fourth in Souffle Continu's series reissues of Futura reissues, fully lice…

Free Soap
Original 1979 LP, few copies available and of course long out of print. This is the original Music Gallery Edition release from 1979. Free Soap is CCMC’s (the improvisational music ensemble led by Michael Snow) masterpiece, especially the incredible real-time tone poem ‘a.k.a. February 13th’ that takes up the first side of the LP. The piece begins with sparse strokes of marimba, trumpet, synthesizer, bowed bass and piano moving into the brilliant middle section which uses long silences in a way …
Skin and Bones
Matthew Shipp – piano, Gordon Grdina – oboe, guitar, Mark Helias – bass. All three of these musicians are master craftsman of their instruments and have received critical accolades from far and wide. Matthew Shipp has been called to as “truly one of the leading lights of a new generation of jazz giants.” Mark Helias has been hailed as “one of the finest acoustic bass players in the contemporary jazz avant-garde” and Gord Grdina needs no introduction and has aptly been referred to as a “force of …

Il Killer
**First 200 on Pink Marbled Vinyl**A definite killer from the great Gianni Ferrio – one of his grooviest soundtracks ever, and a set that's filled with lots of mod 60s touches! There's a bit of electric sitar, psychedelia, cool bubbling Hammond, and even some jazzy horn parts that make for nice flourishes over the top – all changing up in cool and different ways from track to track. A 1969 co-production between Cinevic and Rai TV for a mini television series that was aired in 3 parts - April 17 …
The Velvet Underground & Nico (LP)
2017 Release. 180 g, Gatefold. Over Half a century later, this record still slays; if any album is deserving of the "classic" tag, it's The Velvet Underground & Nico. Lou Reed's affected vocals, Nico's female Lugosi-style recitations, John Cale's droning strings, Moe Tucker's minimal kit - this landmark work laid down paths that musicians today are still trying to follow. Just pick any track: "I'm Waiting For The Man," "Sunday Morning," "Venus In Furs," "All Tomorrow's Parties," "There She Goes …
Ott
Limited to 300 vinyl version live at Ottfest 2014. France set out for a wild mesmerizing revelry of sound. The result is one of their best recordings to date. Imagine Tony Conrad & Faust reincarnated as a french trio in 2014, using only a minimal drum kit, bass and hurdy-gurdy to drone you into another dimension. The music of France is built around the idea that a circular rhythm section combined with the trance-inducing riffs of the hurdy-gurdy can generate an endless series of (micro)tonals va…
Cast of Mind
Finally repressed. Edition of 300, white vinyl. Kali Malone’s sophomore LP “Cast of Mind” investigates the use of harmony as a force of psychological impact through the exclusive use of the Buchla 200 synthesizer in combination with acoustic woodwind and brass instruments. The record begins as a cascade of battle calls from the wind instruments that shift ephemerally between triumphant and anguished howls upon each exhale. While the other pieces pull from the septimal harmonic framework of the …
The Sacred Entertainment, Réak Ceremonial Horse Trance Music (LP
Kasenian réak is a genre of performative art from the Priangan area of west Java, organized during hajatans (life-cycle celebrations) and nowadays primarily held during weddings and circumcisions. The style, known as a seni lungsuran, is part of the greater family of Javanese horse dances, originally known in their most famous forms of jathilan and kuda lumping. Javanese horse dances, which could be as old as animistic Java, may already have been practiced before the eight century, travelling th…
Dome 3
With the demise of Wire in 1980, founding members Bruce Gilbert and Graham Lewis joined forces to create Dome. With the assistance of engineer Eric Radcliffe and his Blackwing Studio, Dome took the ethic of "using the studio as a compositional tool" and recorded and released three albums on their own label in the space of 12 months: Dome (1980), Dome 2 (1980), and Dome 3 (1981). A final fourth album, Will You Speak This Word: Dome IV was released on the Norwegian Uniton label in 1982. These albu…
Let Night Come On Bells End The Day
**Second Edition of 500 LPs Three art prints of photographs by the artist Digital download coupon, containing extended final track**Recital present the newest record by Canadian composer Sarah Davachi. Currently working on her PhD in Musicology at UCLA, her trajectory has been unorthodox. Hailing from Calgary, Alberta, which, if you've never been there, doesn't really scream "avant-garde" (Calgary is the rodeo capital of the world). It is important and interesting that she chose to study esoteri…
Still Light, Outside
Still Light, Outside is the fourth album by John Chantler. Originally from Australia but living outside that country for well over a decade, this record marks his exodus from London (where he lived for most of this time) and his relocation to Sweden. Over the four month period leading up to his departure, Chantler made several hours of raw recordings of the pipe organ at London’s St John-at-Hackneychurch. These were then subject to extended processing at Stockholm’s Elektronmusikstudion EMS and …

Koolin Out
Jazz drummer Greg Adams was active on the Los Angeles experimental jazz scene of the early 1980s. Based in the working class coastal town of Long Beach, California, and with longstanding ties to the industrial east coast city of Wilmington, Delaware, Adams sought to hearken back to the naturalistic form of be-bop, which is why he recorded the material on Koolin Out in a live session with no overdubs in April 1983. Privately pressed in minute quantities as the sole entity on his own hip city impr…
Apryl Fool
The story of Japanese psychedelic band Apryl Fool and their eponymous debut album is simply extraordinary. It was the vehicle by which bassist Haroumi Hosono first came to prominence, years before he became known as the “Godfather of Japanese electronica” as the founding member and leader of Yellow Magic Orchestra, though this musical titan had work released prior to the group’s 1968 founding, such as the song The Sea of Summer Day, recorded with Yuko Okuyama and released by King Records the yea…
Una ragione per vivere e una per morire
**Limited edition of 250 copies.** Digitmovies is releasing the complete Ost by Riz Ortolani for the Spaghetti Western “A Reason to Live, A Reason to Die.” Riz Ortolani composed one of his best scores during his long career with this one, an epic symphonic score where a heroic main theme played by horns and orchestra follows the group of courageous men to their deaths. A western score, but one that's put together with a slightly different feel than usual – almost more straight dramatic at times,…
