Peace Chant - Raw, Deep and Spiritual Jazz Vol.1
From 1963 to 2014: "Peace Chant - raw deep and spiritual jazz" exhibits 51 years of music. A well matched anthology with sounds to dive into, hard rhythms to dance to and vocals to meditate on.

The Enemy Is Listening
Following the red thread of history that wove its way through the 20th century, Junta Cadre previously targeted the development and overtake of Communism throughout China and South-East Asia. Now, the iron-sights are set on the era of the red scare and Cold War - “The Enemy is Listening” draws heavily from personal research and reading, aiming to document the years of paranoia, intimidation, and political terror of Soviet Communism, and its tense relationship with the United States. Recorded dir…
Deformation Of Tone
Joe Colley’s skeleton key is an intra-dimensional sense of humor. It exists in a place between and beyond dry, deadpan, and defeatist, and is not actually funny. He has a knack for unlocking the essence of the absurdly uncomplicated, elevating it to a place of near-iconic significance and leaving it there. Hovering in a void. Or mashed in the jowl of an insect getting doused with regurgitated chyme and rumen bacteria. Consistent with his past efforts, Deformation Of Tone contains no sturm und dr…
Ceremony of Dreams: Studio Sessions & Outtakes, 1972-1977
The Entourage Music & Theatre Ensemble (aka Entourage) were a genuine cult band -- with dancers -- formed by saxophonist/keyboardist Joe Clark in Baltimore, Maryland in 1970. Their compositions crisscross jazz, minimalism, classical music, global folk traditions, and improvisations in a hybrid fusion of their own creation. Entourage left Baltimore first for Millbrook, New York and finally New London, Connecticut. They recorded two albums for Moses Asch's Folkways label, a self-titled trio offeri…
Snake Pit
Harvey Mandel is among the most innovative guitarists to emerge from
the Chicago blues scene of the late 1960s. His career began at Twist
City and other local hotspots, sharing stages with Muddy Waters, Howlin'
Wolf and Buddy Guy. He came up in that scene alongside Charlie
Musselwhite, Mike Bloomfield, Barry Goldberg and Steve Miller, leading
to an invitation from Bill Graham to open for Cream at San Francisco's
Fillmore Auditorium in August 1967.Mandel was a member of Canned Heat, appeari…
Akustisches Abreaktionsspiel
**400 copies** Reissue of Hermann Nitsch’s very first release, originally published 48 years ago by Edition Galerie Klewan in a limited edition of 100 copies..Produced and recorded at the WDR Radio in Cologne, Germany, the Akustisches Abreaktionsspiel (Aktion 38b) is "neither a radioplay nor a work of music. it merely portrays the acoustic part of an "abreaktionsspiel“ (a play of abreaction). the special and specific usage of the acoustic possibilities are in the foreground, while the visual par…
The Veiled Sea
I sometimes think of Ben Chasny as an occultist of the old school. For all the searing acetylene fire and noise that courses through his work as Six Organs of Admittance, there is something curiously late Victorian about the way his mind operates. For Chasny belongs to the lineage of seekers who, in the face of the fragmenting forms of knowledge in the modern world, held out the last hopes of synthesis: that art might not be parted from religion, nor religion from science—and that science, in so…
Night Music
**Edition of 300** "Night Music" unearthes Sven-Åke Johansson's very first recordings from 1964 – made with his Tandberg tape recorder in the Kronenburg Bar, a dive bar in the red-light district in Münster/Westfalen (West Germany).

Young Udo Lindenberg was a frequent guest at the Kronenburg Bar. Side A of the LP features 7 songs …

Muusa Ja Ruusa
Svart Records continues the Eero Koivistoinen reissue program with this 1971 super-rarity. With Vesa-Matti Loiri, Seija Simola and Eero Raittinen on vocals. Koivistoinen’s children’s music album Muusa ja Ruusa was based on the poems of Kirsi Kunnas and released by the book publishing company WSOY.

Except for Tolonen, who is mostly associated with jazz-rock fusion due to his membership in the legendary Finnish bands Tasavallan Presidentti and Wigwam, the rest of the players are all pillars of the Finnish modern jazz scene and all are vi…
Horoscope
** Edition of 500 ** Horoscope is an Occult Jazz masterpiece from 1973, never before reissued on vinyl. In 1967, Matti “Rag” Paananen decided to compose his own vision of the Western astrological signs. Each one has its own composition on the 12-song theme album that was originally released in 1973. For the compositions he studied every astrological sign and made his own interpretation of how it would sound as music. Although the compositions were already made in 1967, they weren’t recorded unti…

A Piece Of Work
**Edition of 300 copies** Sound can be a labyrinth, a twilight drift. Sound can truely unfold when it escapes logic or categorisation. For it is never really one thing or another, especially abstract, collaged or found sound, as it is always connected to a time and a place, or sometimes to an intention, or a notion, or – even more vague – to something as dubious as a feeling. So all this is inevitably inherent in a sound too. Sound is a fact but also an inbetween. In A Piece Of Work, concrete co…
Libra - Un Film Du Groupe Pattern
When the bunch of filmmakers known as The Pattern Group (Roland Moreau, Georges Perdriaud and Jean Talansier) did Libra, their second movie, in 1973 they thought it would be a good idea to use bits from Pink Floyd's Ummagumma and Atom Heart Mother to create its soundtrack. The movie, a 90-minute film with no dialogue, depicts the story of four youngsters living in communion with nature, an idyllic life that is drastically changed when a U.S. satellite crashes in the area and attracts the attenti…
Interfrequence / Osmose
This bundle includes the following albums:
Osmose (LP, 1978)Interfrequence (LP, 1980)
Diving back into the depths of their incredible catalog of vintage Ariel Kalma, Black Sweat returns with much needed represses of “Osmose” and “Interfrequence”, two of the artist’s most beloved works, that remained out of print for a number of years.Astounding hybrids of minimalism, kosmiche, electronic avant-gardism, and new age / ambient music, they’re some of the deepest and most essential musical gestures f…
Interfrequence
Tip! ** Edition of 300 ** After the exploit of Osmose in 1978, Kalma returns into the studio in 1980 with Interfrequence, an ambient space library record. Interfrequence is a continuation of his personal research based on the combination of electronic machines with natural sounds and acoustic instrumentation. The french musician fully wears the robe of master of ceremonies of the synths. However, the path taken is not that symphonic of the minimalist and galactic suites composed by other standar…
Arpeggiated Bösendorfer + Falsetto Voice
Small repress available. Within the history of 20th century music, and across the legacies of musical Minimalism, few voices command more respect and adoration than that of Charlemagne Palestine. Discovered by Tony Conrad working in the shadows, once unveiled, the pianist, organ player, and composer, rapidly became a seminal voice in the 1960’s and 70’s New York sonic avant-garde - contributing many the ideas which came to define that movement. While Palestine has returned to us in recent years …
