Christ Knows
2006 release ** ""Cold Spring are very proud to re-issue the legendary LP released by Broken Flag in 1986, now for the first time on CD. Formed in October 1984 from the ashes of Ramleh. The membership was shifting, though focused around two members (Gary Mundy and Matthew Frith) and included contributions from several friends around the world. Featuring Tim Gane (Stereolab), Paul Lemos (Controlled Bleeding) and Pacific 231. This completely remastered disc features the complete 'Christ Knows' LP…
My Only Warm Coals
2025 stock ** "My Only Warm Coals neatly sums up a fifteen year span of Emil Amos' (Grails/Om) basement home-recording in nineteen songs. Using the 4-track like a mirror in LSD therapy sessions, Amos disassembles himself and leaves the puddle on the floor for the listener to contemplate without easy resolution. The record also arcs a period of "lo-fi" recording technique and sonic experimentation that has largely gone undocumented in the larger underground culture, while epitomizing a supremely…
Imaginative Reflections
2025 stock ** "The sounds on this album seem to come from another world. They spread through space, then disappear, or rather: fade away, evaporate, crystallize, settle as a sedi- ment. This music is about fading away, about reverberations, echoes. European instruments sound Asian, and Asian instruments are integrated into European art music. Xiaoyong Chen, who emigrated to Germany in 1985, once a student of composition with György Ligeti and now a professor of composition at the Hochschule fü…
Semper Liber
2025 stock ** "Semper Liber consists of a series of duets featuring Marcus Davidson, Hildur Gudnadottir, Mike Harding, Charles Matthews, Clare M Singer, Maia Urstad, and Anna von Hausswolff and are drawn from recordings made at Spire events since 2009. Mixed by its curator, Mike Harding, at the Völlhaus, and mastered by Mark Van Hoen, this powerful four track collection -- to be played as one piece -- explores the sonics of the mighty organ in all its thundering glory. Warning!: Extremely low fr…
Groove of ESSR: Funk, Disco, Jazz From Soviet Estonia
Groovier side of the Iron Curtain is uncovered via the 11-track compilation out on 12" vinyl, CD and digitally. First of its kind for Funk Embassy Records, the compilers have dug the archives of Estonian Radio for funk, soul-jazz, disco, instrumentals, library music and covers. Influences from West made it to Soviet Estrada musicians on one hand; to rock, jazz, folk and fusion artists on the other. Recorded between 1974-1988, this is the sound of Estonian artists as heard at music halls, stadiu…
Morgan's Corner
2008 release ** Superb free music with an early Nurse With Wound-ish feel by the always excellent and obscure Vitamin B12.
Ghana Soundz Volume 2
2004 release ** "Following the success of Ghana Soundz Volume One, the second volume involved another a long journey to Ghana by music ethnologist and label owner Miles Cleret. This collection of unheard of and priceless gems visits the harder ground of Ghana, the pulsating centre that is afro-beat and afro-funk."
Le Corps De L’ouvrage
1994 release ** "Composer, performer and improviser René Lussier is one of the dominant figures in contemporary Canadian music. In 1989 he won the Paul Gilson Prize for his radio work Le Trésor de la langue which he recorded on the Ambiances Magnétiques label and which he presented in concert version in Canada and abroad. Here he presents his latest album entitled “Le corps de l’oeuvre” which is made up of a series of instrumental pieces for large and small ensembles written and refined over the…
Ars Erotica
"As a follow-up to Munster Records' previous work reissuing the recordings of Pau Riba, key figure in Catalonia's counter-culture and music scene, Munster presents Ars Erótica, one of his most sought-after singles, in the 50th anniversary of its original release. This is a mysterious and surprising record that was originally released on Concèntric and featured alternative edits of two songs previously included on his classic album Dioptria/1.Ars Erotica (Non Est Mihi) is edited to last just unde…
Mapura Music
Māpura Music is a collaborative and spontaneous music making program for people living with disabilities set in Tāmaki Makaurau / Auckland. Its facilitator, Stefan Neville (of Pumice etc.), has been active in the New Zealand underground for over thirty years, personifying an Aotearoa DIY sensibility that effortlessly links melodic song formats with open-ended experimentation. On surface level, this collection of improvised group jams verges towards the latter, but soon structures of a playfully…
Frozen
There are cult bands and then there's Souled American. In 1988, the Illinois group arguably invented "alternative country" with the album Fe. While the alt-country sound is widely recognized as Southern roots rock with an indie-punk sensibility largely defined by Uncle Tupelo's No Depression released two years later — Souled American's early music feels as if it was formed in a vacuum, inspired by the timestretching space of reggae. But over the course of the following decade, Souled American's …
Starsailor
180 gram audiophile vinyl. Starsailor is a culmination of Buckley's experiments and with
former Mother of Invention Bunk Gardner on sax and alto flute, the story
is complete. This album endures as one of the most legendary albums
ever made by a singer/songwriter. Tim Buckley's most experimental album and one of his most artistically successful. Buckley's recorded output was uneven; he never quite comfortably fit into the singer-songwriter mold and tried out all sorts of musical personas durin…
