Eclipse
Recorded in 1973, Eclipse was intended as Jade Warrior's fourth Vertigo release but was shelved before pressing, circulating only as rare test pressings. Restored with the band's original running order and period artwork, this is top notch British progressive rock, blending delicate acoustic passages with bursts of heavy-rock intensity, African, and Middle Eastern rhythms. The missing link between Last Autumn's Dream and their later Island-era sound. Sourced and remastered from the original mast…
Fun House
On Fun House, The Stooges tear rock down to its studs and rebuild it as a single, sweating organism: seven tracks of feral groove, free‑jazz squall, and Iggy Pop at maximum possession, a record that still feels like a room on the verge of imploding.
Apollo And Marsyas: Het Apollohuis 1980-1997 An Anthology Of New
A lucky restock of one of the most important archival releases in experimental music: "Apollo and Marsyas: Het Apollohuis 1980-1997, an Anthology of New Music Concepts" - a stunning double CD documenting nearly two decades of radical sound art and experimental performance. Het Apollohuis in Eindhoven was one of Europe's most vital centers for avant-garde music, and this anthology captures the extraordinary scope of programming curated by Paul Panhuysen from 1980 through 1997. From over 500 perfo…
Sunset and Forever
Sunset and Forever finds Cindytalk once again stepping into the faultline between collapse and renewal, extending a project that has always treated the band itself as sculptural material to be broken apart and reformed. From the earliest days of Camouflage Heart and In This World, Cinder’s vision fused post‑punk dissonance, industrial dirge, and abject rock deconstruction with a strangely luminous vocal presence – the same voice that threaded through early This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twins reco…
Chou no Sumu Heya
The room where butterflies live. A place between worlds. Enter at your own risk - you may not find your way back out. Sai Yoshiko's fourth and final album of the 1970s stands as one of the most singular documents in Japanese music - a jazz-inflected fever dream that marked the end of an era. Originally released in 1978 on Columbia (LX-7058-A), Chou no Sumu Heya represented a dramatic departure from her earlier psychedelic folk explorations. Here was something else entirely: a surreal and dynamic…
Songs & Prayers From The Izaiho Ritual, Kudaka Island
* Includes a 28-page booklet with liner notes by Senri Miyazato in Japanese and English (English translation by Linda Havenstein) * Historical recording of the sacred Izaiho ritual, an inauguration ceremony of female priests held once in twelve years in Kudaka island, which is located approximately five kilometers east west from the Okinawa island. Izaiho ended in 1978 due to a lack of successors, and this is a recording of the final ritual.
Franco Battiato
Temporary nicer price * * 45th Anniversary Edition, 180 gr. Red Vinyl * *Franco Battiato also known as "Za" was the first album for Ricordi, and the Franco Battiato's conceptualism becomes very rigorous and authoritative. It is made of two long tracks, Za, in the author's own words "Apparently poor. Almost completely made up of one chord. Deliberately percussive (the right pedal is never used), it divides and subtracts resonances, with a technique of release. It needs a listening that I would de…
The Shout
On The Shout, Rupert Hine turns a psychological horror into a study of sound itself, fusing electroacoustic experiment, synth eeriness and musique concrète into a score that feels as invasive as the film’s infamous, landscape-shattering scream.
Astral Disaster
Big tip! *Definitive Edition: Deluxe 5LP + 4CD Artbook wooden box set; includes 2LP gatefold with the TTH edition and the original artwork + 3LP triple set featuring all the Prescription versions and the newly created AD II artworks by Steven Stapleton + A massive, epic 12" vinyl-sized Artbook houses the complete collection on 4CDs, with all versions gathered in one place.* Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the origi…
Clandestine Anticipation
On Clandestine Anticipation, Krisma leave Italo-disco behind for a humid, video‑age dystopia, nine songs where synthetic funk, proto‑industrial atmosphere, and tropical mirages collide into one of the strangest Italian pop artefacts of the early 80s.
Rr·concerrt
*150 copies limited edition* Like all concerts by Conrad Schnitzler, this one is unpredictable and always captivatingly beautiful. A masterfully crafted mix of four solo works, all located in close proximity to the RR album itself. There are few such works in the entire discography, and most of them are included in our top 100.
Memory
*150 copies limited edition* 'Memory' is a saturated, multifaceted poem, a work of sound art set against a backdrop of shimmering cosmic space. It is a sonic excursion into memory, reflecting both the light and the darkness of our consciousness. Moving forward and transcending many boundaries, Conrad Schnitzler remains true to the mood established at the very beginning of this 60-minute cinematic work.
Lost & Found - MMXX-15
With touchstones in electronic dance music, and forward-thinking, synthesizer based abstraction, the Paris based organist, composer, and experimental musician Hampus Lindwall’s contribution to Matière Mémoire’s stunning MMXX Series, MMXX-15, weaves a singularly striking world of pulsing, organized sound. Issued in a limited edition of 500 copies, on a single sided crystal clear vinyl LP with a laser engraved artwork on the other, housed in a transparent sleeve printed with the MMXX logo, and con…
Live, Pass Tour '80
Live Pass Tour ’80 captures Friction at the precise moment their legend hardens into tape. Recorded during the Pass Tour at Kanagawa University in 1980, just as the band were releasing their first full‑length 軋轢 = Friction, this set has been described as the “definitive, fully edited document” of their early peak, preserving the original line‑up with singer Masatoshi Tsunematsu still fronting the group. Where studio takes tighten and cool their New York‑shaped no‑wave and Tokyo Rockers energy, t…
'79 Live
’79 Live catches Friction right as Japanese punk is mutating into something stranger and more angular, a December 1979 set that sounds like it was recorded with the mics pointed straight at the band’s collective nervous system. The trio are all attack and recoil: sharp, metallic guitar figures slashing across a rhythm section that alternates between locked‑groove insistence and sudden, collapsing turns. Vocals arrive in bursts of English and Japanese, more incantation and accusation than sing‑al…
Jazz By Sun Ra Vol.1
** Deluxe edition, Tip-on jacket, 24 pp booklet ** Did you know that the short-lived Transition label released the first LPs, or first sessions as leaders of three of the greatest performers in modern jazz? Donald Byrd – Byrd Jazz – Transition TRLP 5; Sun Ra – Jazz by Sun Ra Vol. 1 – Transition TRLP 10; Cecil Taylor – Jazz Advance – Transition TRLP 19. Tom Wilson, its founder and manager, was undoubtedly a man of taste more than a businessman as the label had to close its doors after only two ye…
Given
"The piece given may be characterized as a certain activity, a special kind of practice. We practice as a trio (two players and one producer), hoping that anything might emerge: we gather to share a beautiful time together, exchanging our hopes and longings, our suffering, and our pain. Why should there be music at all? Faced with this question and considering the state of our world, artists could often find themselves drawn toward a sense of meaninglessness. But this is not the end. In the face…
Tonight At Noon
"Tonight At Noon" compiles tracks from two earlier recordings sessions: one session from 1957 with Jimmy Knepper on the trombone, the drummer Dannie Richmond, Saxophone player Shafi Hadi and the pianist Wade Legge, which were released on the album "The Clown" (Atlantic 1260). The second session took place in 1961 with Booker Ervin and Roland Kirk on the saxophone, Knepper, the bassist Doug Watkins, Mingus at the piano and Richmond on the drums, and was released on "Oh Yeah" (Atlantic SD 1377).

Animal Magnetism
*Limited Edition of 99 copies. Purple vinyl * Masami Akita has been making noise since before most people understood noise could be made on purpose, and Animal Magnetism is what happens when forty years of sonic terrorism suddenly decides to sit you down and explain itself without raising its voice. Originally released on CD in 2003, this double LP reissue—remastered by Lasse Marhaug and pressed on black or purple vinyl in a gatefold sleeve featuring Akita's own photographs—adds a previously unr…

The sound? Imagine if AMM had been born in Southern Europe with lapt…
