Live at the Shaboo-Inn (part II)
***restocked, very last copies** "2nd and final set from that legendary concert, here's a review i found on the net about part I: Unbelievable previously unreleased live electric Miles blow-out from January 1974: this is a mind-blower, with the electric group at an insane high energy over-amped peak. Not many live recordings exist from 1974, the same era as Dark Magus etc. Here Miles is paired with Dave Liebman, guitarist Pete Cosey, Reggie Lucas, Michael Henderson, Al Foster and Mtume and the f…
La Mutazione
**Few copies back in stock, sold out at source** A milestone originally released in 1985 on the legendary Broken Flag label, Giancarlo Toniutti's La Mutazione is renowned in certain circles as a classic and with good reason. The album comprises two subtle and haunting side-long explorations of dark cosmic electronics akin to Klaus Schulze, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, and Conrad Schnitzler filtered through the lens of Maurizio Bianchi, Whitehouse, Nurse With Wound, and The New Blockaders. At the …
Sand/Layna
"Sand/Layna is the first full-length solo release by Canadian sound artist crys cole. While cole is known to many through her collaborative work with a host of Canadian artists and internationals such as Oren Ambarchi, Keith Rowe, and James Rushford, this LP presents the first opportunity for an extended appreciation of her singular approach to amplified sound. Using contact and other microphones to amplify her interactions with small objects and the surfaces on which they rest, cole's work …

The Glitter of the City
**very last copies** Ultra limited exacte replica reissue, a beat-digger's delight with loads of excellent drum breaks in this far out ghetto Jazz album."Ron left this plant in 1989 and his wife Linda don't have anymore the original master tapes. to my knowledge only 3 persons have the original: one fella in the US of A, an Italian DJ and a Japanese (who got multiple copies ?!). master used for this reissue comes from an original copy and it came out simply AMAZING (considering also that it'…
Die Unsichtbare
**restocked, very last copies copies*Mindblowing!! Truly an amazing edition, and finally the mythical 'invisible' LP is here! The music tracks on the two records "Unser Debut"-LP (1984) and "Sechs"-LP (1986) were composed in such a way that by playing them simultaneously on two record players a new unity came about. The invisible LP is literally invisible, immaterial and only heard when the two records Text, music and rhythm of the tracks of both records complemented, doubled and shifted one an…
Disqualifier
The 6th full-length studio recording and first since his move to Baltimore, Disqualifier steps beyond the shadow of Ottoman Black to yield a programmatic, mature and vulnerable setting. Dense brass, concrete sounds and mutated noise reveal a pointed narrative & unmatched compositional stroke. Equal parts harsh and ambient, Disqualifier is an exemplar for the American underground. Recorded from nothing November, 2012 through July, 2013 in Baltimore, MD. Additional musicians: Jeff Stockham french …
La norma del cielo
Special price, limited stock. Always influenced by eastern doctrines (he later became a Hare Krishna), Rocchi was also active in anti-war movements and always present at various italian pop festivals during the early 70's. His second album, released in 1971 and titled "Volo magico n.1", is usually considered as his best effort, in much the same style as Alan Sorrenti's "Aria" with a side-long title track and softer tracks on the other side. "Volo Magico n.1" features a 18 minute long title…
Fogh Depot
Fogh Depot is not just a collaboration between three musicians weaving a cozy melancholic cocoon in the midst of a looming, cold, unwelcoming metropolis of Moscow. It’s a creativity lab where complex cryptoanarchic ideas rigidify in the viscously flowing Phrygian mode, while the simple and naive piano melodies sweep the listener right back to childhood. Fogh Depot’s debut album contains eight stories told by different people in different places. "Anticyclone" feels like a massive hedge-maze amid…
Madam I'm Adam
2015 restock. The music of of the Finnish experimental music pioneer Pekka Airaksinen has been far ahead of it's time for most of his 40-year long career. His finest recordings from the 60's are more reminiscent of Industrial Music and Noise (which would emerge ten years later) than of the music of his precursors and contemporaries. Later, in the early 80's, few people, if any, were mixing mechanic beats and free jazz like he did. Favourable conditions for this kind of music didn't really exist …
Crippled Symmetry, live at June in Buffalo
Restocked. In 2000, Eberhard Blum (flute, alto flute, bass flute), Nils Vigeland (glockenspiel, vibraphone) and Jan Williams (piano, celesta), American composer Morton Feldman's close friends and collaborators, came together once more as The Feldman Soloists to perform Crippled Symmetry, the trio Feldman composed for them, on the 25th anniversary celebration of June in Buffalo, the festival he founded. The recording of this concert is now finally available on CD, and is destined to become the…
Church Number Nine
This is the free jazz record that everyone wants. Its long, mythic history is shrouded and whispered about because of it rarity. Church Number Nine was recorded on March 7, 1970, but remained buried until it was released in 1973 on the Calumet label, a Parisian venture that instantly evaporated into thin air. Only 300 copies of the album made it into circulation; the rest were apparently destroyed. The line-up is one of free jazz's greatest, the same quartet as Frank Wright's legendary BYG …
Diversions 1994-1996
2015 repress, originally released in 2012. The 30-minute Diversions 1994-1996 EP is made up entirely from samples from the collection of Lee Gamble's jungle cassette mix-tapes. The audio has been subjected to analog and digital deformations, while trying to extract, expand upon, and convey particular qualities emblematic of the original music. The effect is that of a musical body scan, all that is solid melts into air. Sounds are unearthed, dissected on the operating table, melted and unloc…
Quarter Turns Over a Living Line
2015 repress; gatefold double LP version.. The precious bloodline of British dread music circulates through Raime's riveting debut album. Two years since their eponymous 12" - Blackest Ever Black's first release - sounded a mandate-like synthesis of late '70s industrial gloom, palsied techno and burned-out breakbeats with a gothic elan, they've come to epitomise the label's aesthetic whilst remaining its most elusive, enigmatic operators, flitting from surround sound installations to chast…
Tra Scienza e Fantascienza
2015 restock - "Tra scienza e fantascienza", is an album of histrionic Piero Umiliani recorded under the pseudonym Moggi. A Master gifted with a never ending passion for music, innovator by vocation, experimenter in his genetic code now at ease with synths in order to forge sound that could be reductively termed as avantgarde. Timeless atmospheres, alien hypnotic sonorities, modern and charmingly retro, minimal and complex arranged with an impressive taste for the unknown substance the Maes…

Should Sisters Suck?
i don't know a rabi that yells as high pitched and psycho then nik rizili! and i don't know another guitarist besides oren ambarchi that can make strings sound like yiddish yelling! they do sound like ladies that have their period non stop, since 5 years! and they do sound like they are 456 km away from the hospital while the head of a baby is forcing it's way out of a mangina. so much stress, and strings so loose on a guitar that u can put both your legs and your two arms between the strings an…
Sacree Obsession
Masterpiece!!! ""Sacrée Obsession", the new album from the australian percussionist extraordinaire Will Guthrie, comes out of his continuing research into repetition, the ritual, physicality through volume and mass, and complexity through the development of simple ideas. combining pulse and rthymic ideas with melodic and pitch based textures he has succeeded in making truly unique music. obsessive development of minimal material is not new in will guthrie's music, from his brutal tribal l…
1984-1987
Urbain Autopsy was a Parisian band that released over 80 tracks on self produced tapes between 1984 and 1987. Drawing their influences from Suicide, The Residents, Throbbing Gristle to Joy Division or Bauhaus to name a few, they had their own way of combining power electronics, industrial, experimental, cold wave, post punk... This LP contains 12 tracks emblematic of their short "career" and comes with an 8-page biography. This is a second pressing of just 100 copies. All sleeves are handm…
