On Solid Static, Musica Transonic / Mainliner - Asahito Nanjo, Makoto Kawabata and Tatsuya Yoshida - turn late‑90s Tokyo psych into a feral laboratory, smashing motorik riffs, free‑jazz volatility and distortion worship into one long, white‑hot detonation.

The final album released by the composer-performer Jerry Hunt before his death, Ground: Five Mechanic Convention Streams is a rare and foundational audio document of Hunt’s compositional process. The record collects five pieces from the artist’s “Ground” series, translating his characteristically variable and spatial scores into “recorded fixtures of activity using mechanic musical instrument arrays,” to eerie and mesmerizing results. Originally released by experimental label OODiscs in 1992, it…

LP pressed at RTI. Tip-on jacket printed at Stoughton Printing Co. Atrás del Cosmos have been called Mexico’s first free jazz ensemble. Founded in 1975 by pianist Ana Ruiz, saxophonist Henry West, and percussionist Evry Mann, the trio soon became a central force in Mexico City’s creative arts community, mentoring a generation of improvisers, incorporating a revolving cast of artists into their immersive happenings, and sustaining a scene through their legendary weekly performances at El Galeón t…

** 500 copies. Limited 50th Anniversary Edition. Red vinyl **Released on the legendary label 'Brain', Günter Schickert's debut Samtvogel (1975) was one of the most significant guitar albums of the Krautrock era. Points of comparison from today's perspective are Syd Barrett or Pink Floyd's more adventurous early recordings. Schickert's follow-up Überfällig of 1980 was released on the equally legendary 'Sky' label. Once again a milestone recording, it showcased Schickert's hypnotic echo guitar whi…

LP, 50th Anniversary Edition. 2024 Recut, Authorised by Manuel Göttsching. 180G Black Vinyl. We are thrilled to announce the highly anticipated re-issue of Ash Ra Tempel's legendary 5th Studio Album "Starring Rosi" in our "50th Anniversary Edition". Originally released in 1973, this seminal work remains a cornerstone of the Krautrock and "Kosmische" movement, blending psychedelic rock, ambient soundscapes, and early electronics into a transcendent auditory experience. The Album has been recorded…

Gatefold cover, blue vinyl. Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf. The mantra repeats for thirteen minutes, hypnotic as a highway journey, ecstatic as a stadium anthem. It's 1976 and Klaus Dinger - the drummer who invented the motorik beat, the man who alongside Michael Rother created Neu! and redefined the very concept of rhythm in rock - has a new machine to drive. He's christened it with the name of his hometown on the Rhine. And the first record he makes with this new formation is c…

This 50th Anniversary edition features restored audio overseen by Manuel Göttsching, exact reproduction of the original OHR packaging, and comprehensive archival materials documenting this seminal work in German experimental rock.

Brussels captures Lard Free in raw, exploratory mode: a live document where jazz‑rock, minimalism and proto‑industrial textures blur into long, evolving jams that feel like they’re testing the limits of what a band can do with repetition and noise.

Faust and Keiji Haino live at the Tomorrow Festival in Shenzhen, China, in May 2016.

Krautrock, what is it anyway? A genre, a derogative term, a song by Faust, … or: a welcome (and recurring) opportunity to talk about all of this. The music associated with the term in question has eagerly been canonized. From the enthusiastic and idiosyncratic ramblings of Julian Cope’s “Krautrocksampler” to encyclopaedic approaches like Alan and Stephen Freeman’s “Crack in the Cosmic Egg”, there are plenty of books to read and lists to discuss: Who’s in, who isn’t? The quarrels and disputes sur…

France's near-revolution of May '68 kicked the country's small but vibrant counter-culture into overdrive and birthed a local underground music scene. The bands it spawned made music with far less rock purity than groups from the UK and US - their influences foregrounded improvisation, disjunction and genre-blending: Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, free jazz and radical politics. The introduction of the synthesiser in the early 1970s added fuel to the fire. This six-track compilation inau…

Medium Ambient Collection 2022 is the first highly acclaimed ambient compilation on the Medium label, run by electronic musician/producer Masanori Nozawa. The "black" version starts with Japan's leading sound artist Chihei Hatakeyama, followed by Endurance from Muzan Editions, Takuya Yamashita, Minguss, AcidGelge (909state), Molelule Plane, miffrino, and many other musicians! Newly re-mastered for vinyl, this is a masterpiece of a gem of a disc that deserves to be called the 2020s version of "Ka…

An antidote for noisy times. Kane Banner gathers eight ambient pieces for Secrets Of Sound, from Mark Barrott's Balearic warmth to Steve Roach's desert drift, with Chihei Hatakeyama, Lord Of The Isles and more. New Age approached as living tradition.

ATA Records delivers another essential chapter in their meticulous Library Archive series. Volume 4 represents a sophisticated understanding of library music's golden era, when masters like David Shire and Roger Webb defined cinematic instrumental music. This is authentic homage executed with both reverence and creative vision. The production showcases the full palette of classic library instrumentation: Hammond & Farfisa organs provide the foundational textures, while vibraphone and the distinc…

An elusive cult gem resurfaces through Glossy Mistakes. Originally released in 1986, L'Empire Des Sons is an otherworldly blend of synth pop, folk experimentation, and cinematic percussive layers-dreamlike, poetic, and wildly ahead of its time. L'Empire Des Sons was a fleeting yet powerful transmission from the fringes of the French underground-an album that blurred genre lines and evaded easy classification. Fusing experimental folk, lo-fi synth pop, and avant-garde textures, the record exists …

Stunning conscious avant-garde free jazz featuring Roland P. Young originally released in 1975 on the eclectical 1750 Arch records.

*2025 Repress!! 150 copies limited edition* Rich in musical associations yet utterly singular in its voice, joyous with an inner tranquility, the music of Natural Information Society is unlike any other being made today.

The 75-…

Four side-long improvisations by the Taj Mahal Travellers, recorded in a single day at Nippon Columbia in Tokyo on 19 August 1974. The group formed in 1969 around electric violinist Takehisa Kosugi.

10" coloured vinyl edition. Ten tracks drawn from the 1954-56 Pacific Jazz sessions. Chet Baker Sings is a record that arrived too early for its own audience. In 1954 a twenty-four-year-old trumpet player set down his horn, leaned close to the microphone, and sang as if confiding something he wasn't sure he wanted overheard. What the era received as a flaw - a voice too soft, too high, too undefended for a man - is exactly what now sounds like the future turning up ahead of schedule. There is al…
