Godbear
Limited repress. "The first vinyl release of Charlemagne Palestine's Godbear, a 1987 solo piano recording originally scheduled to sit alongside Sonic Youth and Swans in the catalogue of Glenn Branca's Neutral Records but eventually released on CD by the Dutch Barooni label in 1998. Although Palestine has worked in an enormous variety of media, his long form performances for solo piano are perhaps his most acclaimed works. Palestine immersed himself in the study of overtones throughout the 1960s,…
Witchcraft
*200 copies limited edition* The track Witchcraft was originally released by SSS Production on a C25 cassette in 1989. Eighth Tower Records brings to light, re-releasing on CD, this esoteric industrial gem by Capricorni Pneumatici, along with three entirely unreleased tracks. Witchcraft was largely inspired by reading the Compendium Maleficarum by Francesco Maria Guazzo from 1608, in a copy of the famous 1929 Rodker edition edited by Montague Summers. The track was created using the DX7 synth, t…

Created using homemade instruments, rudimentary electronics, and cassette gear, these tracks trace a turbulent path through desertion, psychiatric confinement, political escape, and cultural rebirth.

Mectpyo Bakterium
Edition of 100. Eighth Tower Records and Interitvs Nvmen unite to resurrect one of the most vital documents from Italy's industrial underground. In the suffocating heat of 1981's experimental underground, Maurizio Bianchi unleashed Mectpyo Bakterium, a work so clinically disturbing and sonically corrosive that it stands among the most unsettling audio documents of the early industrial era. Now, over four decades later, this pivotal cassette transmission receives its first proper CD treatment thr…

Basho / Still Forms
Beatrice Dillon and Hideki Umezawa's split record for the Portrait series. The title of this work by Beatrice Dillon is taken from the notion of ‘basho’, developed by Kitarō Nishida, Japanese philosopher and father of the Kyoto school. Kitaro’s ‘basho’ (場) refers to a fundamental ‘place’ or ‘field’ where things exist and interact. Not just a physical location, but a more abstract space where all experiences, thoughts, and phenomena are interconnected. In Nishida’s philosophy, ‘basho’ is a dynami…
Kestrel
2024 stock. Black Vinyl edition. Kestrel was a UK band that disbanded soon after releasing an unsung prog-rock gem of an album in 1975. Boasting an abundance of technical musicianship and inhabiting a space somewhere between golden-age prog and AOR, the band was defined by their sophisticated sense of melody and exquisite sonic balance. Unfortunately, and probably because they were so far ahead of their time, the album failed to chart and is remembered only amongst a small number of cult fans. G…
Halogen
First edtiton of the 1994 CD produced by Steve Albini, with cover art by Trevor Brown.
Pagan Psych-Folk Glam Vocal Sounds of the Italian Cinema (1965-1977)
Pagan Psych-Folk Glam Vocal Sounds of the Italian Cinema is a superb collection of extremely obscure gems culled from a variety of forgotten films. Featuring mostly vocal tracks, these songs are dripping with that mid 1960s to mid 1970s exploratory nature of song-craft, from clever and majestic to the ridiculously absurd. Acoustic guitars laced with strings and subtle effects, haunting and moody lyrical tales, and epic ballads that rock - all of them fitting together like an impossible puzzle th…
Beguiling Isles Trilogy
Sonic travelogue impressions, meditations & reflections on psychoactive experiences, projective imagination, magical speech, dance, and a sense of emergence with the maternal matrix.
"A gradual arc from low key tropical travelogue into full blown fantasy exotica. 'Born Of Earth's Torments' is the most varied of the three, registering somewhere between Martin Denny and Jules Verne. Tracks such as "Body Core" bubble and fizz roots and stems of various traditional styles, as though a transistor rad…

The songs from torture chambers are passed down through the generations. Packaged in silk screen and velcro heavy canvas bag, with individual disco sleeves, vellum insert and text by Takahiko Yokoyama.

Endless Season
The ultimate cosmic music has arrived! Prepare to be gently led into an invigorating electronic dreamscape by a skillfully creative partnership. Despite collaborating since 2016, Endless Season is the first duo album from 577 Records Co-Creator (and legendary maestro), Daniel Carter, and rising tenor saxist Ayumi Ishito.

Frank Wright Trio
Reissue, originally released on ESP Disk' in 1966. Frank "The Reverend" Wright was one of the most powerful saxophonists to pick up on Albert Ayler's freedom and ferocious playing. Born in Mississippi and raised in Memphis, TN and then Cleveland, OH, he started in music as a bassist in blues bands but switched to tenor sax under the influence of his Cleveland friend Albert Ayler. Wright's "energy music" approach to tenor saxophone was influenced by Ayler but at the time in the '60s Wright's inte…
Live at Pioneer Works, 26 October 2023
Formed 29 years ago (1996) by Nate Young, Wolf Eyes is currently a duo generally characterized as "noise," though they have called themselves "psycho jazz" (among other things). Extremely prolific, they have literally hundreds of releases and are a towering presence in underground music. Saxophonist Anthony Braxton was an early member of the AACM (Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians) and has won a MacArthur and been named an NEA Jazz Master, though his work is hardly confined t…
Causa y Efecto Vol. 1
The world is more elusive than simple cause and effect imply, more typically, life circumvents causation in favor of an unknowable correlation. It seems like the more we know, the less we know. On this first volume from Zoh Amba and Francisco Mela, the duo brings their regional traditions, from Tennessee and Cuba respectively, and musical inclinations to the cause and effect behind their own life stories. Causa y Efecto, Vol. 1 is an ode to the unknown, transporting audiences between the New Yor…

*In process of stocking* How do you welcome adventure? Longtime comrades, legendary Daniel Carter, Matthew Shipp, William Parker and Gerald Cleaver investigated this in their first album, Welcome Adventure, Vol. 1, resulting in 577 Records’ best-selling release in the 20 years we’ve been operating. Now, the group is trying the question again with their second astonishing volume, taken from the same historical recording session. Daniel Carter (Saxophone, Clarinet) has been collaborating with Will…
