*2022 stock. Limited edition of 300 copies.* After one year from the first chapter,  Uncodified (feat. Corrado Altieri of Candor Chasma, Monosonik, etc.) and Wertham (feat. Marco Deplano of Caligula031 and Foresta di Ferro) return with the second chapter of the “Vindicta” trilogy , once again focusing on Sardinian criminal history and culture. The sound slightly turned into more constructed high voltage power electronics, with stronger industrial structures and pulsating bass frequencies that do…

A negative and oppressive album characterized by dark, obsessive and morbid atmospheres. Handle with care the stream of orgon energy spawned by Uncodified & Satanismo Calibro 9 during this typhonian Adamant Ritual. Darkness !

*In process of stocking* On October 31 2015 "MZ.412" and "Trepaneringsritualen" performed two memorable "Rituals" at OEC's label festival the "X Congresso Post Industriale" at Club Kindergarten in Bologna - Italy. Those sounds were fixed into solid and heavy vinyl. Finally here comes the double CD re-edition in 6 panels digipak.

Magick Knives channel desert night into sound: cinematic post‑punk steeped in gothic rock, darkwave and shimmered synths, where hypnotic bass, spectral guitars and whispered occult glamour coil into slow‑burn rituals.

A killer bit of jazz rock from early 70s Germany – an album that should have been right at home on the MPS label, given the sorts of all-star talents in the group! The set was produced by mighty drummer Klaus Weiss – who's at his soulful best here, able to kick things when needed, but not with as jamming a sound as on his more over the top 70s efforts – which is perfect, as the album's got loads of sweet, subtle colors from Ferdinand Povel and Leszek Zadlo on flutes, plus great electric and acou…

2019 restock. Sündenfall II from the Kevelaer area at the Lower Rhine played a mixture of folk and jazz. While their predecessors, Sündenfall, exclusively dedicated themselves to jazz, the group included folk after a change in line-up and band name (following the example of Amon Duul II). In 1972, Hubert Schmitz invited the band into his Trepitia film and sound studio in Alpen-Druept for free recordings, as he wanted to test the newly installed equipment after a recent move into the new location…

With deluxe four-page insert. Limited to 1000 hand numbered Picture Discs. Top sound quality. Nobody liked it at the time. Alfred Kersten, owner of the Kerston label, had discovered Gäa at one of their early gigs in the Saarland and promised them a record. By the time the band arrived at his Stuttgart studio in the summer of 1973 - with almost no money, camping in tents outside the building for days until Kersten relented - his enthusiasm had curdled into obligation. The sessions were rushed. No…

Virus, from the Bielefeld area in Westphalia, were the best and most famous local progressive group there in the early seventies. In 1970, they won the well-known competition in the Recklinghausen Vestlandhalle – still under their old name of Man’s World. The first prize: Recordings for their first own LP, under the direction of sound magician Conny Plank. That LP, “Revelation”, was released in 1971 and is partly reminiscent of the early Pink Floyd, e. g. in the final part of “Endless game”. The…

Missus Beastly regroups and blasts into some very dynamic fusion territory with this exceptional album. The usual apparitions of the house-hold names of the mid-seventies jazz apologists can be traced here, but the eventual output will always sound only as original as Missus Beastly. One of the biggest strengths these guys possesed was their vibrant rhytm section, from the opening track i can make a parallel to Passport's or Embryo's more dynamic tracks, wherein Curt Cress/ Christian Burc…

The artist name and album title are swapped. The back cover states: "produced by Dr. Aftershave And The Mixed-Pickles" and "this record is dedicated to Missus Beastly." A label contractual dispute with Telefunken required that Missus Beastly not release music under their own name - so they released it under a pseudonym and dedicated it to themselves. The bureaucratic manoeuvre doubles as a small act of absurdist comedy, entirely in keeping with a record whose title track is named "Miles Along th…

This album contains three instrumental jazz rock jams recorded by Radio Bremen in September 1974 shortly after the band had produced the second LP. Keyboarder Dieter Miekautsch had left the band towards Embryo and Eddy Maron, also known from contributions for Vita Nova and Dzyan, brings new aspects to the music - it's quite a new impression of the band. The sound quality leaves nothing to be desired by the way. A very good show documenting a new facet of the Missus Beastly band and a highlight f…

What you hold is half a record. Three tracks, twenty minutes, one side of an intended LP that never found its other half. Gäa recorded these sessions at Leico Studio in 1975, then ran out of money before the album could be finished. By 1978, the band had dissolved. The title, Alraunes Alptraum - Alraune's Nightmare - reaches into German earth mythology: the Alraune, or mandrake root, is an earth spirit pulled unwillingly from the ground. The name mirrors that of the band itself, named after Gaia…

Edition with 20 pages booklet* Sophisticated rock with polyphonic vocals, multi-layered structure and frequent rhythm and tempo changes, in the vein of Gentle Giant and King Crimson. The LP was released on the Kerston label in 1977. The vinyl re-release comes with the original gatefold cover artwork and includes a 20-page booklet. Limited to 1000 numbered copies. Epidermis were founded in Idstein, Hesse, in 1971, but they soon moved to the regional capital, Wiesbaden. They played some complex s…

There are super groups, and then there are Supergroups.  This trio, comprised of three prolific journeymen improvisers whose work has been recognized across the globe, is neither.  This is a band of down-to-earth, hard-working musicians, whose focus and dedication to the music is exceptional.  That’s not to say that these three don’t have a combined CV that straddles a who’s who list of contemporary music across multiple scenes.  But their ethos is one that emanates from their midwestern locale …

The Duke of Wellington is a vivid portrait of Derek Bailey and John Stevens in spontaneous conversation, recorded live at a London pub in 1989. The set captures their dynamic synergy; jagged guitar and agile percussion interlock and diverge in an unrepeatable display of free improvisational skill.

Estonian vocal ensemble Vox Clamantis and their leader Jaan-Eik Tulve have established themselves among the leading interpreters of Arvo Pärt’s music over a quarter-century of close collaboration with the composer – a relationship that builds on the almost half a century long artistic partnership between Pärt and producer Manfred Eicher. Of the ensemble’s ECM New Series recording The Deer’s Cry, the BBC Music Magazine wrote that “the level of artistry necessary to achieve the kind of living, bre…

Hardcover, 648 pages, Hardcover! This book looks back on the golden years of the music scene that emerged out of Canterbury, Kent, in the late 1960s, spearheaded by Soft Machine and Caravan and their various offshoots, including Gong, Kevin Ayers and the Whole World, Robert Wyatt's Matching Mole, Hatfield and the North and National Health, and related bands like Egg and Gilgamesh. Musically at the meeting point between pop, progressive rock, electric jazz and modern classical, it brought togethe…

It was the summer of love in 1967, and more than 12 000 people found their way into the Rheinpark in Cologne – situated opposite the majestic cathedral and right at the bank of the Rhine river – for the first German open air jazz festival. Featured on those two sunny days in September were three big bands – including ace musicians like Jiggs Whigham, Dusko Gojkovic, Manfred Schoof and Volker Kriegel – and the Kenny Clarke - Francy Boland Sextet. When the festival was revived the following year, …

Julia Hülsmann’s quartet resurfaces with a fresh Norwegian voice on horn in tow and presents an attractive batch of originals that finds the group thoughtfully exploring common ground with a knack for adventure. As on past outings, each quartet member contributes music to the session, the leader herself being responsible for half the programme. Saxophonist Uli Kempendorff’s introduction to Julia’s trio on 2019’s Not Far From Here already brought a new dimension to the group’s interplay – this se…

With Temporary Kings two of the most distinct voices on today’s jazz scene present their debut on record as a duo. Engaging in inspired dialogue Mark Turner and Ethan Iverson here explore aesthetic common ground in the atmosphere of a modernist chamber music-like setting at the Auditorio Stelio Molo RSI, Lugano. The saxophonist and the pianist had begun their association in the Billy Hart Quartet, where the two players featured sympathetically on two ECM albums by that band. The new duo album n…

An album of deep-funk, Afrobeat, jazz, and psych by the Finnish band The Blassics on Funk Night Records. Includes some great flute playing on the tracks which works really well with funk.

Detroit's Funk Night records present a wonderful collection of psych-rock-Library & electronic Krautrock productions.

This well recorded and carefully mastered set captures the most famous version of the band (the ‘classic quartet') on their final European tour on two consecutive nights on February 27 and 28, 1971. While the two sets from the second night (February 28, 1971) have been released before, this is the first time that the entire two-night stand has been released. So half of this is previously completely unreleased. This is a excellent, stereo recording of the band performing in a relatively small hal…

Several years after the release of ‘Metamorphosis’ (with Sid Hille), Multicast Dynamics (Samuel van Dijk) reemerges on Astral Industries with ‘Circles’ - an enchanting two-part work venturing into deep unconscious realms. Sonic landscapes unfold in a sequence of hidden spaces and intimate revelations, featuring detailed sound design and rich thematic content.
 Circle One initiates the process, opening gently with glassy drones and the patter of distant voices. A faint light shimmers through swir…

Wolfgang Voigt makes a return to Astral Industries, seeing the continuation of his long-running Rückverzauberung (Reverse Enchantment) series. In line with previous volumes, one may expect the unconventional, idiosyncratic sound Voigt is reputed for. ‘Im Tunnel’ however, takes a more concentrated viewpoint - a metaphysical transmutation that brings with it an experience of mind-melting drones and swelling intensity.  Entering the tunnel is like opening a portal, but as the fabric of time-space b…

Bordeaux Concert is a special document from Keith Jarrett’s last European tour. Each of Jarrett’s 2016 solo piano concerts had its own strikingly distinct character, and in Bordeaux the lyrical impulse is to the fore. In the course of this improvised suite, many quiet discoveries are made, and there is a touching freshness to the music as a whole, a feeling of intimate communication. Reviewing the July 2016 performance, the French press spoke of hints of the Köln Concert and Bremen-Lausanne in t…

Ralph Alessi’s fourth appearance as a leader for the label follows a singular album run that’s been met with nothing but praise from The New York Times to The Guardian. The latter lauded Ralph’s previous recording Imaginary Friends (2019) for its “elegant balance of poignant, playful original compositions and gracefully probing improv” and declared it “his best album yet”. It’s Always Now however brims with arguments that there is a new contender for that title. On his new album, Alessi’s unique…

The first time on any format for Pier Paolo Pasolini's controversial 1975 vision of the Marquis De Sade's 120 Days Of Sodom, featuring beautiful and discordant classical compositions, in stark contrast to the shocking and cruel events unfolding onscreen. Three weeks before the scandalous release of "Salò, or The 120 Days Of Sodom", Pasolini was brutally murdered in Ostia, Italy. In the wake of the tragedy, legendary composer Ennio Morricone wrote 'Addio a Pier Paolo Pasolini' (Goodbye to Pier Pa…

One of the most distinctive and influential instrumental ensembles of the 1980s, Steps Ahead injected urgently needed vitality into a stagnating fusion landscape with their own brand of intelligent, living jazz.

Co-founder Mike Mainieri assembled a constellation of seasoned virtuosos for this session: drummer Steve Smith (known for his work with Journey and his o…

Begging the Moon is a collection focused upon an early-to-mid 20th century style of Thai popular song, commonly named Phleng Thai sakon (meaning "song which is both Thai and universal"). With recordings taken from the end of WWII until the start of the 1960s, many of these tracks may also be referred to as Luk krung (meaning "child of the city") a more urbanised style of popular song that is in contrast to the Thai country music known as Luk thung ("child of the field"). Following the Thai cultu…

Neil S. Kvern’s Doctor Dancing Mask: Pianoisms is a near mythical marker on the map of late 20th century experimentalism transpiring in America’s Pacific Northwest. A sublime, spacious effort of left field DIY minimalism constructed from recurring piano pieces, hypnotic percussion, and a peppering of diverse instrumentation, vocals, and invisible effects, Doctor Dancing Mask illuminates a hidden but remarkable legacy of a young composer at the height of his creativity and consciousness. Original…

*150 copies lmiited edition* Ian Wellman's “Particularly Dangerous Situation”, his first release for Elevator Bath and first vinyl LP, is a meditative, at times harrowing, interpretive document of the catastrophic California wildfires of 2025. Wellman's stunningly descriptive field recordings plus his signature tape loop textures and sampled drones combine for a dramatic ten-part narrative that is both frightening and sorrowful in its depiction of calamitous events. "On January 7, 2025 Southern …
