Nebular Trajectory
Edition of 300. Quasar's debut LP , originally released in 1979. Nebular Trajectory's deceptively straight opening salvo scarcely prepares one for the deeply blasted kraut inspired vision of jazz rock that ensues. Dzyan's "Time Machine" is the most immediate and obvious reference point for the sizzling but liquidly loose interplay of their power-trio-plus-effects set-up. Man Coda if anything raises the stakes further by plunging the entire proceedings even deeper "into the pudding" via a further…
Man Coda
Edition of 300. Killer Aussie LP from from 1981. This is completely off-the-hook abstract Australian psych-rock. At the time self-produced by the Quasar and never formally distributed, copies of this super-limited pressing were creeping their way across the globe, and eentually it has been reissued. Recorded direct to digital tape by just a drummer, bassist, and guitarist, the sounds run the gamut from surging, moody, textural, and nearly beatless masterpieces like “Man Coda” and “Reality’s Way”…
Acabou Chorare
Acabou Chorare is the second album from Novos Baianos, who formed in Bahia, Brazil in the 1960’s. They are considered to be one of the most important and revolutionary groups in Brazilian music. Acabou Chorare (translated as Stop Crying) was originally released in 1972 by Som Livre after the success of their first LP É Ferro na Boneca in 1970. It is considered to be one of the most important and influential albums of all time, charting at number one in a Rolling Stone Brazil's 'Top 100 Brazilian…
Exuvia
** 500 copies white vinyl** An ongon is an important shamanic tool inhabited by spirits. An anthropomorphic ritual object, highly abstract in form or more realistic, that at the same time attracts and contains spirits. A fetish. In the same way, some traditions, some melodies, some rhythms, sounds and instruments attract special spirits and energies. "Exuvia" is the first work in which Antonio Bertoni uses the pseudonym Ongon. Ongon's music originates from multiple influences and researches: gna…
Negative Fascination
Clear vinyl edition of 500 copies.

Sujud

Since arriving to global underground acclaim in 2015 with the ‘Menjadi’ LP on Rabih Beaini’s Morphine Records, Senyawa have established themselves among the most beguiling acts in circulation right now by meshing traditional Indonesian music with elements of doom metal and free improvisation to realise a sound truly without precedent. Senyaw…

Hippie Gospel Songs 1969-70
Postmodern artist, dancer, choreographer, and writer Simone Forti originally wrote the Hippie Gospel Songs in 1969/70, around the time of the Woodstock Festival. She explains: "before coming to California where I started working and performing with Charlemagne Palestine and studying Tai Chi at the California Institute of the Arts, I had spent a year in Woodstock, New York, stoned in the woods. Now with Charlemagne at the piano I ran in circles and figure eights." The seven songs on the record we…
April Is The Cruellest Month
**Legendary "lost" album originally due to be released on the ESP-Disk, but the label folded before its release. Limited Edition** Masayuki "Jojo" Takayanagi (1932 - 1991) was a maverick Japanese guitarist, a revolutionary spirit whose oeuvre embodied the radical political movements of late '60s Japan. Having cut his teeth as an accomplished Lennie Tristano disciple playing cool jazz in the late '50s, Takayanagi had his mind blown by the Chicago Transit Authority's "free form guitar" in 1969 an…

Live 77
Repressed. Les Rallizes Dénudés are one of the earliest and most revolutionary Japanese psychedelic rock bands, and existed off and on through four decades. The band formed in November of 1967 at Kyoto University, inspired by Exploding Plastic Inevitable-era Velvet Underground as well as the over-amplified rock of Blue Cheer and Mario Schifano's avant-garde ensemble Le Stelle. By 1968 they were gigging live and even began a regular collaboration with an avant-garde theater troupe, which ended th…
Goshen
The Pitchshifters is a project by Hideto Aso from Japan. This is his second release on Meeuw Muzak and as usual his contributions were culled from old and scarce self-released CD-R editions. Wonderful naive and outstanding synth music on the first side with some more dreamy electroacoustic experiments on the flip. Immerse yourself in the delicate sound of The Pitchshifters and yours is the reward.
