Now reissued by the legendary "Wa-Jazz" label, TBM (Three Blind Mice), this iconic label has gained popularity in Europe, the U.S., and beyond. The long-awaited reissue of the original titles on vinyl has been expertly remastered and cut by the renowned Bernie Grundma…
For years I hunted for some trace, find or legacy of this band from the deep South, from Martina Franca, Taranto, to be precise. I had little and vague information: their participation in the Festa della vita in San Paolo di Martina Franca in 1973, their presence at Giangià, also in Martina, a typical underground club of the 1970s, and little else.
A band fading between the historical reality of the 1970s and the mythology of the alternative scene. Just when I had resigned myself to giving up se…
New remastered reissue, the only credited soundtrack appearance of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, makes you wish Ennio Morricone had used his free improv unit for that purpose more often. Gli Occhi Fredda Della Paura, or Cold Eyes of Fear, is an Italian slasher (giallo) from 1971. The score has Il Gruppo augmented by a rhythm section and a fuzz-wah guitarist (most likely Alessandro Alessandroni). The results sound like a creepy take on 70s Miles Davis, with driving jazz beats a la C…
2024 repress. This great score for Umberto Lenzi's 1974 cult thriller Spasmo, by the maestro Ennio Morricone, creates a disorienting and disturbing effect, with unusual, almost avant-garde-like sounds, instrumentation, and composition. "Sweetness and darkness – perfectly blended together in this classic mid 70s soundtrack by Ennio Morricone! The main theme of the film – "Bambole" – is one of those Mondo Morricone type numbers that floats along on a gossamy sheen – vocals gliding softly over ligh…
People believe that the magic of Muslimgauze works best with looong tracks. Think the same? Then "Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed" is exactly for you! 75 minutes of mellow eastern-style hypnotism. Consisting of only five parts, the album shows Bryn's ability to create lengthy and detailed compositions filled with Arabic percussion, droning keyboards, vocal samples and ethereal atmospheres. A strong rhythmic, yet melodic album, that should be in the collection of every Muslimgauze fan. Definitely one of Bry…
*2023 stock* Recorded in their home studio in Taipei, “Mystery 秘神” is a psychedelic journey into Taiwanese folklore combined with the 80’s media obsession with the supernatural. It’s a record that manages to combine nostalgia and tradition with humour and an underlying intrinsic earthiness to create something unlike anything else out there.
Brothers Hom Yu and Jiun Chi also play in Prairie WWWW (落差草原 WWWW) and Dope Purple. They both returned to Taipei in 2017 after finishing their studies and …
**2020 stock** Kikagaku Moyo 1st self-titled album reissue. Originally released by Cosmic Eye Records in Sep 2013. Kikagaku Moyo's debut album exerts an elemental power. Enlivening their sound with sitars, percussive drums, theremins, wind instruments and ethereal vocals, the band manages to sound powerfully spacious and lazily serene all at once. Their songs can be light as air, or heavy as earth. comes with digital download Many evolve out of intense experiences of engagement with the natural …
The Ibex Band, with Giovanni Rico and Selam Woldemariam at the creative helm, provided the musical backbone for legends like Aster Aweke, Girma Beyene, Tilahun Gessesse, Mulatu Astatke, and Mahmoud Ahmed, including the iconic album Ere Mela Mela, shaping modern Ethiopian music as we know it today. This 1976 album (Ge’ez Year 1968) played a pivotal role in that legacy and has now resurfaced to set the record straight.
There’s a tendency to talk about the seventies as a golden age of Ethiopian mus…
"A bewitching fusion of ambient jazz and traditional Korean instrumentation - piri,saenghwang and yanggeum - casting a spell not unlike that of Arooi Aftab's Vulture Prince." - UNCUT
2024 Repress. After the excellent New Jazz Ramwong (TB6171), Tiger Bay is back with another almost overlooked gem from the German jazz scene of the 60s. Joki Freund, the composer and multi-instrumentalist is one of its most dazzling figures and Yogi Jazz is without a doubt his masterpiece.The influence of John and Alice Coltrane is clear throughout the album and the sextet, for which he gathered together a group of young European musicians who later would achieve great notoriety, reaches an outs…
** Special offer, limited quantity available: 6 LP Bundle, includes “Vitamins” (double album), “Vertical Pillars”, “Vitae Tennis Nest”, “Mangala” and “Love and Addiction”. ** Among the unsung visionaries of European experimental music, Pekka Airaksinen stands apart—a composer, mystic, and outsider who shaped an entire cosmos of sound on his own terms. After his provocative beginnings with Sperm in the late 1960s—an anarchic blend of performance art, electronics, and subversive theater—Airaksinen…
Reissue of early 80s underground releases by Pekka Airaksinen, NWW-listed founding member of legendary Finnish improv group The Sperm. Vertical Pillars comprises five expansive pieces - Dundubhisvararaga, Kanakamuni, Kashyapa, Shakyamuni, and Jambusuvarnadhvajakacanabhasa - that draw inspiration from ancient texts and Buddhist philosophy. Airaksinen’s compositional process integrates mathematical structures with elemental rhythms, dividing percussion into four symbolic layers: earth, water, fir…
Pekka Airaksinen’s Love’N Addiction, composed in 1978 and released over a decade later under the alias McDullan, is a daring sonic exploration of sex and drugs-intentionally leaving out rock’n’roll, despite the title’s playful hint. The album’s soundscape is cold, mechanical, and at times abrasive, conjuring the sensation of two dinosaur computers conversing or Jean-Jacques Perrey and Gershon Kingsley on a bad acid trip. Closely related to Airaksinen’s Vitamins in both era and approach, Love’N A…

Leon Thomas' debut solo recording after his tenure with Pharoah Sanders is a fine one. Teaming with a cast of musicians that includes bassist Cecil McBee, flutist James Spaulding, Roy Haynes, Lonnie Liston Smith, Richard Davis, and Sanders (listed here as "Little Rock"), etc. Thomas' patented yodel is in fine shape here, displayed alongside his singular lyric style and scat singing trademark. The set begins with a shorter, more lyrical version of Thomas' signature tune The Creator Has a Master P…
Exact repro reissue of Cecil Taylor's first album for the Candid label, originally released in 1960. Featuring Cecil Taylor (piano), Buell Neidlinger (bass), Dennis Charles (drums), Archie Shepp (tenor saxophone).From the opening patterns of Denis Charles' drums on the title cut, the listener knows he/she is in for something special. One can only imagine what the reaction of the average jazz fan was in 1960 when this session was recorded. This is a wonderful document from early in Taylor's ca…
