Snurdy McGurdy And Her Dancin' Shoes
On Snurdy McGur dy and Her Dancin’ Shoes, Roscoe Mitchell launches the Sound Ensemble with a volatile mix of abstraction and groove, folding AACM rigor into slyly funky frameworks that keep tilting from tight forms into open risk.
Air Time
On Air Time, Air - Henry Threadgill, Fred Hopkins and Steve McCall - hit their 1977 stride, stretching from tightly coiled themes to wide-open improvisation, turning the sax-bass-drums trio into a restless, three-way imagination engine.
Iapetus
Wewantsounds continues its reissue program of Bob Shad's cult jazz label, Mainstream Records, with Hadley Caliman's superb 1972 album, Iapetus. Recorded in LA and featuring a heavyweight lineup of West Coast players including Todd Cochran, Woody “Sonship” Theus, Luis Gasca, and Victor Pantoja, the majority of the album was composed by Todd Cochran (aka Bayeté) soon after he had composed Bobby Hutcherson's Blue Note classic, Head On. A true hidden treasure, it is reissued here on vinyl for the fi…
Enta Omri
“Enta Omri” is Om Kalsoum’s most famous song, composed by Mohamed Abdel Wahab, who is still rightly regarded as a prominent musician and composer in Egypt. The creation of this song was the first long expected collaboration of two musical giants, which came at the repeated urging of Egyptian President Gamal Abdul Nasser. There was talk in Egypt on the streets and in the media about what was believed to be a cold relationship between the two legends. Finally, after years of estrangement, Mohamed …
Agate
Tip! Kitchen. Label is proud to present Agate, the latest album by Japanese artist Meitei, marking a deepening of the world he first shaped through his Kofū trilogy released between 2020 - 2023. Named after the mineral agate, a stone formed through slow accumulation, pressure, and time, the album reflects Meitei’s patient approach to sound. Agate brings together extended and newly rearranged works from across the Kofū cycle alongside new compositions and passages, refining material developed thr…
Happy Today
Happy Today, the third album from guitarist/bandleader Jeff Parker’s long-running ETA IVtet, was recorded live at Lodge Room in Los Angeles on August 20, 2025. This fresh entry into the IVtet’s catalog captures Parker and the band – including drummer Jay Bellerose, bassist Anna Butterss, and saxophonist Josh Johnson – on record outside of the now-shuttered Highland Park micro-club ETA for the first time. The performance also captures a distinctly joyful night of togetherness set against the back…
Non Basta
Cucoma Combo are back with their impetuous and political sound, an urgent need to communicate in order to awaken consciences and react to the sick immobility of our times. Captain Marco Zanotti (Classica Orchestra Afrobeat/Lolo) once again gathers his pirate crew and sets sail for new Atlantic and Caribbean adventures. From Cape Verde to Salvador de Bahia, from Haiti to Colombia, then back to Tanzania and Zimbabwe. An inspired and furious attitude incorporates disparate rhythms, languages, and s…
Behold And See
It was legendary record producer Alan Lorber that came up with the concept of "The Bosstown Sound" -- "The Sound Heard 'Round The World" to market and promote the best and brightest of the Bean Town sixties psychedelic scene. (Boston's key groups at the time included Orpheus, Beacon Street Union, Ultimate Spinach, Chamaeleon Church and others). The Ultimate Spinach, arguably the finest of them all, produced magnificent examples of surreal psychedelic record-making, now prized by crate-diggers an…
Anthology Of Electroacoustic Music From Portugal
*100 copies limited edition* This new chapter of the Sound Mapping series focuses on Portugal, tracing a cartography of contemporary electroacoustic practices that unfold across a wide and diverse spectrum. The compilation presents a constellation of approaches that oscillate between abstract electronics, music directly influenced by Iberian tradition, ritualistic impulses, and slow-moving electroacoustic drone. What emerges is a porous sonic territory shaped by memory, landscape, and experiment…
Spiritually Unemployed
Ak’chamel, The Givers of Illness plunged into truly deranged extremes to summon the decayed, otherworldly essence captured on Spiritually Unemployed, embracing unhinged and esoteric methods during the tracking process. Recorded in a makeshift adobe studio amid liminal border-zone ruins. Nocturnal treks along forgotten stretches near the U.S.-Mexico line, through derelict border outposts and sun-bleached vehicle husks, yielded unique recording opportunities: Ak’chamel dragged tape decks like sacr…
Idolatry: The Second Death 1992 - 1998
*200 copies limited edition* Historic first-ever compilation of the extreme UK electronics trio directed by dominatrix / model Dannielle Black, along with Barry Fuller and Jason Whittaker they were active in the early 90s tape trading scene putting out their own releases through the BV Tapes imprint. Often bearing explicit artwork, label operations grinded to an abrupt halt when UK customs seized a shipment of fetish magazines from Paris which included a photographic feature on Danni. Fuller was…
Iterae
Iterae is issued as a multi-disc edition designed for both shelf and wall—referencing the scale of the vinyl LP while quietly subverting its familiar expectations. The format distributes the album's material across four 80mm compact discs. Each disc can be played independently or sequenced freely, extending the music's own recursive methodology into its physical presentation. A full-sized compact disc is included on the rear for continuous playback. The design incorporates an integrated rear wal…
Wade
*150 copies limited edition* Circle Bros emerged during the late‑nineties wave of lo‑fi and dronerock, when Morc Records founder Wim Lecluyse first began shaping hazy, guitar‑driven soundscapes. Over the many years that followed, the project gradually started using a richer soundpallete, and shifted toward semi‑improvised, restrained songs that draw as much from minimal‑leaning songwriters as from artists who fearlessly approach the folk traditions. What has never changed is the core approach — …
Bosporus Bridges - A Wide Selection Of Turkish Jazz And Funk 196
Pioneering, magisterial compilation, which turned many of us here onto Mustafa Ozkent, Fikret Kizilok, Erkin Koray, Temiz and co, a decade ago. Still dazzling, fresh, essential.
40 Days of Silence
* Lucky restock, few available! * The threshold between field recording and composed music, between documentary and pure abstraction - 40 Days Of Silence occupies that narrow and precise territory which only the most rigorous practitioners of sound art dare to inhabit.
Jacob Kirkegaard belongs to a generation of Scandinavian artists - alongside figures like CM von Hauswolff, Thomas Köner, and Helge Sten - for whom sound is neither decoration nor effect, but a means of confronting otherwise unrea…
Primal Forms
*300 copies limited edition* After their last album six years ago, "Primal Forms," the new album by Phantom Horse, finally arrives. The German duo of Ulf Schütte and Niklas Dommaschk have long established a reputation for expertly crafted, hypnotically slow-burning electronic music, and we do not hesitate to say that "Primal Forms" stands among the epitomes of their discography. The sequencing of "Primal Forms" cannot be underestimated. It is an album in the classic sense. It demands to be liste…
Telemusica N. 6
A 1973 library brief of “jazz + experimentation” into a compact film in sound, gliding from lush lounge and tense jazz‑funk to freaked‑out electronics and stark Nuova Consonanza‑style miniatures.

Remastered from the original tapes and pressed on 180g vinyl. **Munster Records presents a reissue of Batiscafo by Gregorio Paniagua.

Batiscafo is one of these elusive treasures. First released in 1980 on the label Hispavo…
Circles
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…
