Way To, the debut album by Eero Savela, released August 2025, marks a persuasive, understated move into the spotlight for the Helsinki trumpeter. Blending the sinuous pulse of '70s jazz-funk with a modern Scandinavian restraint, the album—clocking in at just 37 minutes—opts for dialogue over display, its six tracks assembled as layered conversations between empathetic musicians and understated lyricism.

*300 copies limited edition* Percussionists Mika Kallio and Janne Tuomi have each spent decades at the edges of Finnish improvised music. Oresme, their debut duo on Mustik Motel, takes its name from the 14th-century philosopher who argued that all perceived motion depends entirely on where you stand. Nine tracks navigate that same double territory: outward into astronomical scale and inward toward something quieter and untranslated. Two percussion setups, one vibraphone, and a great deal of room…

Tahmela Six returns with Alight, a bold new release that ignites the senses from the very first note.

With its distinctive sonic palette and tightly crafted songwriting, Tahmela Six explores themes of transformation, momentum, and the moment before something changes forever. Alight doesn’t just play—it draws you i…

Originally released in 1976 on Piero Umiliani’s own Sound Work Shop imprint, Drammi e Speranze -issued under the pseudonym Rovi - stands as a refined example of his late-period library work. Performed by a compact string ensemble and subtly augmented by piano, Hammond organ, Eminent organ, and Rhodes, the album unfolds through a series of classically-informed compositions where melody takes center stage. Each piece is concise, evocative, and purpose-built - reflecting the functional yet highly e…

This new edition also Includes a bonus track from a rare Japanese compilation recorded in same era.

Truly monumental in scale, a huge electroacoustic fresco. Symphonic orchestration bring forth a barrage of colossal sorrow. This is electronic music of exquiste tension and ecstatic release, moving from drones to explosive classicaly orchestrated peaks. The album symbolically resurrected, though perhaps simultaneously burried, Breht and Weill's Das Berliner Requiem.In the context of 'The Berlin Reqiem', Brecht's 'Berliner Requiem' might be seen as a quotation in its entirety. In the initial grou…

The Sex Worker series began in 2019, as a reflection on my relationship to the sex industry. There are three cassettes in the series - all out of print, and highly collectible - published by Total Black, with my take on power electronics and death industrial, channelling the emotions of rage, mania, depression, and lust, and featuring interviews and vocals from women in the sex industry from around the world, telling their stories, expressing their place in the industry. The first two cassettes …

*300 copies limited edition* A sporangium (from Ancient Greek sporá 'seed' and angeîon 'vessel') is an enclosure in which spores are formed. It can be composed of a single cell or can be multicellular. Virtually all plants, fungi, and many other groups form sporangia at some point in their life cycle. Sporangia can produce spores by mitosis, but in land plants and many fungi, sporangia produce genetically distinct haploid spores by meiosis. Sporangium is brand new "merzsoniks"! Equipments used b…

*300 copies limited edition* Sado Vision was a very obsure, S/M & fetishist industrial project from Italy. Clearly inspired by erotic transgressions they attracted the attention of admirers of the most radical and provocative industrial sound. Leded by the Milanese Luca Leuca (aka Leucon) and the unidentified Reverend K, Sado-Vision transformed the concept of studio recording, giving life to real performances in which create musical compositions. Thanks to the crazy attitude of Anjela Water, who…

*300 copies limited edition* The sounds in this double CD (already available as CD + Music Cassette in the "Atrax Morgue's - Mörder Machine" Box), are the very last recordings by Marco Corbelli and was found on a couple of reels in his studio after his death. For these recordings Marco used an old Korg MS20 synthesizer which produced a continuous background noise together with the audio signal, such noise is clearly audible in the recordings. During the editing phase this hiss was kept as an int…

Pantheon Of The Lesser was composed over a period of two years in Ocean's home studio in Portland, Maine. As the seasons passed each track was written, re-written, played and then re-played as layers were slowly stripped away until the true essence of the song was revealed. Once Ocean entered the studio it took another two years to deconstruct Pantheon Of The Lesser until they had found the essence of their writing. This disciplined deconstructionist approach to songwriting is how Ocean takes it…

2017 release **  In this new album—titled *L’Océan Rêve Dans Sa Loisiveté "second session"* and following the first chapter released in 2014—the soundscapes are incredibly ethereal and hypnotic. The material defies easy categorization, yet this is by no means a drawback; the beautiful atmospheres crafted by Maninkari immerse the listener in a mystical, otherworldly acoustic realm. Improvisation plays a central role, while the viola melodies—rich with ancient resonance—and the rhythms of the bodh…

2015 release **

Sarah Saviet [violin] and Joseph Houston [piano] formed their duo in 2019 through a mutual devotion to an intimate, powerful, and transcendental sound language created by the violin and piano. In this album, the Saviet/Houston Duo trace a path through a shifting landscape of melodic contour, with duos by Michael Finnissy, Rebecca Saunders/Enno Poppe, Lawrence Dunn, Iannis Xenakis, and their own collaborative composition. Each work reflects in different ways the intricate contradictions and the p…

2017 release ** A trippy 60s treasure from this groovy west coast group -- a cool quintet led by the fuzzy-headed Steve Hoffman -- who not only wrote some very unusual tunes for the combo, but also comes up with an equally unusual mix of instruments! The music is half psych, half sunshine pop -- the latter because many of the tunes have a very catchy vibe, and often feature group harmonies behind Steve's lead -- the former because there's some cool instrumental elements in the mix, including ele…

2017 release ** Singer, actress, and priestess Sally Eaton was one of the most unique figures of the entire Californian psychedelic folk movement. Originally released by Paramount in 1970, this delightful album of lysergic pop—infused with Indian moods (the evident influence of Ravi Shankar set against a West Coast backdrop)—comes back to life today in the valuable digital reissue of Early Dawn.

2010 release **

Recorded 3rd June, 1971 at the Jazz Workshop, Boston. Sam Rivers - tenor and soprano saxophones, flute, piano, Cecil McBee - bass and Norman Connors - drums. "Musician discographies are like icebergs. Commercially released recordings often only represent a surface-visible and procurable fraction of actual output; a reflection of those comparatively few instances when resources, fortitude, and good fortune aligned to yield salable product. Samuel Carthorne Rivers situation was no different. Despi…

Two works by the Romanian composer Octavian Nemescu, Passages (1981) and À travers le temps (1983), written during the communist years: spectral music built on harmonics and on the perception of time.

1992 release (light wear) ** 1958, and a perfect match: Thelonious Monk sits in with Art Blakey's Messengers - Johnny Griffin and Bill Hardman in the front line - for a full program of Monk compositions. Blakey understood Monk's rhythm like few drummers ever have; the two go back to the foundational 1947 Blue Note sessions together, and that deep history is audible in every bar. Monk's angles and Blakey's shuffle lock together like old machinery that never rusted. Griffin, soon to join Monk's ow…

1990 release (light wear) ** The second ESP-Disk' statement, 1966: Marion Brown with a killing band including Stanley Cowell at the piano, deepening everything the debut promised. The writing is stronger, the group interplay more spacious, and Brown's alto - that singing, speech-like sound, closer to a voice than almost any horn of the era - moves through the material with total assurance, balancing fire and lyricism phrase by phrase. The mid-sixties ESP sessions caught a whole generation at the…

1990 release (light wear) ** December 1960: Eric Dolphy and Booker Little's first recorded meeting, with Jaki Byard, Ron Carter and Roy Haynes completing a frighteningly good band - the Five Spot partnership taking its first documented steps, seven months before the club residency made it legend. The Charlie Parker tribute sequence - "Mrs. Parker of K.C.", "Ode to Charlie Parker" - shows exactly where Dolphy came from and how much love he carried forward; "Tenderly", solo alto saxophone, shows w…

1994 release (light wear) ** February 1964: the most ferocious Messengers record ever made, and one of the most intense hard bop sessions in the whole Blue Note vault. Wayne Shorter's title track is eleven minutes of controlled fury - Art Blakey playing like a man possessed, pushing wave after wave of pressure under the horns, with Freddie Hubbard answering everything at full burn. Shorter's "Hammer Head" and Hubbard's "The Core" keep the temperature high. Recorded right as the new thing was bre…

1992 release (light wear) ** The 1961 sextet masterpiece: Freddie Hubbard, Wayne Shorter, Curtis Fuller, Cedar Walton, Jymie Merritt - and Art Blakey detonating Walton's title track, one of the great set-openers in the hard bop repertoire. This edition of the Messengers was a compositional powerhouse: nearly everyone in the band wrote, and wrote brilliantly, giving the records of this period a richness that goes far beyond blowing-session logic. Shorter's pieces already carry that unmistakable s…

2006 release ** Mattin: gnu-linux computer feedback. Radu Malfatti: trombone. Recorded in 2005. Going fragile is the latest collaboration between Radu Malfatti and Mattin, following 2004's critically lauded "Whitenoise". This album sees them refining their approach; they string incidents of sound along a long axis of time, creating distinct events against a stark backdrop. The cumulative effect is the creation of an enormous scale, small moments building to coherent wholes. This album is a vibra…

2006 release ** Edition of 150 numbered and signed copies. Twelve one-minute tracks from an audacious emerging west-coast artist.

Althoff, the master of kinetic sound sculpture, returns to machines for a new offering of textured compositions. Knowing that I used these items for music-making, a friend recently gave me a large old aluminium pot lid with a beautifully flanged edge, just begging for some marbles to roll around in it.  Attaching the lid to the platter of a slanted record player meant the marbles would gather at the lowest point, and roll when the lid rotated. Fixing a ‘bump-post’ in the path of the marbles push…
