Another Lonely Night: Live At The Palalido, Milan, Italy, May 27th 1981 - FM Broadcast
Milan's Palalido, 1981 crackles with Kraftwerk's "Computer World" tour. Robotic rhythms, neon lights, anthems like "The Model" & "Numbers" ignite. A time capsule of synthpop mastery, future sounds live.

My Solid Ground
My Solid Ground were a German progressive rock band active in the 1970s. This obscure krautrock album called “My Solid Ground” from 1971 has long been considered a classic of the genre. The first track, the 13-minute ‘Dirty Yellow Mist’, certainly lives up to its reputation as the group embark on a dark space rock journey. It sounds like a mixture of psychedelic rock and progressive rock. With lots of long keyboard tones, a crunchy guitar riff, some acid guitar sounds and distorted chanting as w…
Mehrpouya Sitar
*2024 reissue* This - somehow - mythological album from one of Iran’s top sitarist lurches between traditional Eastern forms and more modern Western styles, blending the two into a fascinating fusion of cultures and flavours. Similar to the work of Indian rare groove master Ananda Shankar, the record brings to life the ultimate marriage of funky drums, lush horns, wah-wah guitars and Eastern harmonies. A necessary re-discovery !
Indo-Jazz Suite
The magnificent Indo-Jazz suite by The Joe Harriott Double Quintet Under The Direction Of John Mayer. Features Kenny Wheeler on trumpet, band leader Joe Harriott on alto saxophone, sitar player Diwan Motihar and more. On Indo-Jazz Suite's release in 1966 its four tracks – ‘Overture’, ‘Contrasts’, ‘Raga Megha’ and ‘Raga Gaud-Saranga’ – freeze-framed something in Indo-jazz fusion that was unique to Britain. The States may have had ‘happening’ notables like Don Ellis but never a John Mayer or a Jo…
Genius
LP, black vinyl. Extremely obscure ‘Rare Groove’ album recorded in Argentina in 1974 and produced by great radio and music producer Mochin Marafioti. It has been impossible to learn who the musicians of the amazing session were. Soul, funk, psychedelia and Latin melt into a sort of funkadelic sound. Spoken intro, sensual vocals and a monster rhythm section flirt with wah wah guitars and catchy melodies. A truly hidden treasury brought back to life by legendary Easy Tempo crew and destined to ple…
A Take On "Piece For Guitars" Reworked Sounds From The Original Performance
**20 copies only** A Take on "Piece for Guitars" is an extension of the installation called Pieces for Instruments, which features three filmed sound performances entitled Piece for Drums, Piece for Microphones and Piece for Guitars. In each performance, a musical instrument is dragged through a different natural site. This approach aims to use the ground as an actual "musical score", in order to question how landscape shapes culture and, more specifically, sonic and musical imaginaries. Piece f…
In Another Lant Pt. 2
„The second part of the “In Another Land”-trilogy can be considered as the indispensable conceptual antipode to part I. It's everything that part I is not and vice versa. It's sculptural and it's not pursuing the idea of development, but it's neither static nor repetitive: The mostly short pieces, consisting of heavily treated snippets of recorded (electro-) acoustic instruments are circling around themselves, always aiming to show their core idea to the listener. The thing is the thing is the …
II
Once again, five years took Kajkyt to accomplish his new work. Unlike his previous work KRST, which was single 75-minutes piece, II shows Kajkyt's interest in more structured forms, almost "pop songs". Still focused primary on his voice, Kajkyt continue to deliever heavy beats and bass lines, accompained with large spectrum of droning and ambiesque sounds. In some way, a book of extremes: hard industrial clashes and beautiful nature of silence, which was always his trademark...
Sketches Of The Red Districts
** Deluxe LP. Comes in a gatefold sleeve with 16 page LP sized booklet & download card** This new Laibach album, through a new/fresh interpretation, examines the conflict-ridden genesis of the band's formation in the industrial town of Trbovlje in 1980 and questions the band's aesthetic, sonic and ideological roots from the distance of time. The group Laibach was established, in fact, in the year 1980 in Trbovlje, an industrial coal mining town in the centre of Slovenia (YU). Upon its founding …

Outspan No 1
Tip! It's hard to imagine how this record -- and it's mate, Outspan No 2 -- managed to remain more or less out of circulation from the CD era onward. Outspan No 1 is nothing less than an ideal distillation of the broad approach to sound creation utilized by the three-ring circus that is Brötzmann, Van Hove, and Bennink, here with the added bonus of Mangelsdorff. Two short numbers, two long, too perfect.
Anticlockwise
"The edges of Schlippenbach’s trio/quartet music have gradually feathered over the past dozen years, a process benchmarked by “Anticlockwise”. Evan Parker’s careening tenor prompts a dramatic sweep from the group that echoes Coltrane’s last period, as on Ore; his multiphonic-oriented soprano style elicits a more spiky rapport. The exceptional American bassist Alan Silva makes an intriguing debut with the quartet, his incisive phrasing and nuance-filled arco technique serving as a lynchpin betwee…
