*300 copies limited edition* Audio taken from a live performance by Anar Band (Jorge Lima Barreto and Rui Reininho) with E.M. de Melo e Castro in November of 1978 at Cooperativa Árvore, Porto. The performance was filmed. A segment was included in »Obrigatório Não Ver«, a weekly programme presented by Ana Hatherly on Public Television’s Second Channel. It was not possible to determine the exact date of the event, and no documentation seems to be available in the relevant archives. »Encontro que T…
"If this band from Vicenza found a place in Italian rock history, it is mainly because of their [1983] debut [self-titled] mini-LP... duly presented here at the beginning of the tracklist. I hope the frontman Sergio Volpato will forgive me if I say that, despite the quality of the following releases, their mythical status (small as it may be) is owed to that first piece of vinyl originally released by LM Records and coproduced by Discotape, a record store in Marostica. An enigmatic cover, a made…
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On Speak No Evil, Wayne Shorter fronts a quintet of Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Herbie Hancockon piano, Ron Carter on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums. Shorter’s compositions are haunted and luminous: melodies that are instantly memorable yet subtly elusive, harmonies rich with unresolved tension, forms deceptively straightforward. His tenor lines slide between inside and outside, often stating a theme in stark tones before twisting it into ambiguous shapes. The ba…
Multifold digipack edition + extensive booklet. Amgen presents the historic recording of Éliane Radigue's Asymptote Versatile (1963-64), widely recognized as the oldest surviving composition by the pioneering French electronic music composer. This monumental work was performed for the very first time at the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival on November 26, 2023, marking a truly historic event as Radigue had resolutely refused permission for this work to be presented in concert - until now…
Two masterful explorations of electroacoustic practice that showcase the profound possibilities of the medium - from Ferrari's intimate sonic memoir to Vande Gorne's four-decade spanning artistic statement. Essential listening for anyone interested in the cutting edge of contemporary experimental music.
Brunhild Ferrari - Errant Ear
A stunning new long-form electroacoustic work by the German composer Brunhild Ferrari. Drawing upon sound sources recorded between the 1970s and 2024, with sonic con…
On The Final Tour: Copenhagen, March 24, 1960, Miles Davis and John Coltrane turn a standard club set into a knife‑edge drama, Davis all poised understatement, Coltrane in full escape‑velocity experimentation over one of the greatest rhythm sections in jazz.
Tip! The heavyweight trio of Keiji Haino, Jim O’Rourke and Oren Ambarchi return with their 12th and most epic release to date, the triple LP With pats on the head, just one too few is evil one too many is good that's all it is. Documenting the entirety of their final performance at the dearly departed Roppongi home of Tokyo underground institution SuperDeluxe in November 2018, the music spread across these six sides splits the difference between the guitar-bass-drums power trio moves and experim…
Tip! Turin is a city of crumbing facades and fading surfaces. A memorial to regal splendour and industrial boom. Behind every door is a different world. Pass through a grand double-door in the southern part of the city into a quiet courtyard, through into a small room with a high ceiling and cracked white coving. The room holds a modest studio set up, everything laid out as if the occupant just left. It’s a workshop, littered with blank cassettes, sepia-tinted journals and unidentified family sc…
Gustav Horneij’s Organic Pulse Ensemble blends jazz tradition with modern groove, inspiring unity & protest, uplifting listeners in the fight for freedom and justice for all.
Philip Glass’s seminal 1982 album Glassworks remains one of the most influential and accessible works in contemporary classical and minimalist music, bridging the worlds of concert hall and popular listening with timeless elegance.
Originally conceived as a “Walkman‑suitable” work, Glassworks was designed for intimate, personal listening on cassette, with a special headphone‑oriented mix that brought listeners deep inside Glass’s intricate, pulsing sound world. The album’s six short, vividly con…
Collision Drive is Alan Vega's second solo studio album, originally released in 1981. If his debut laid the groundwork for a raw, minimalist take on rockabilly and blues, Collision Drive expands the palette with a grittier, more layered, and unfiltered energy. Here Vega's lyrics channel universal themes rooted in his fascination with street life, science fiction, politics, comics, love and the mysteries of the universe. It's a record that pulses with feeling and rebellion, displaying the full sp…
Alan Vega's self-titled debut solo album, originally released in 1980, marked a bold new chapter for one of New York's most influential and uncompromising voices. On his solo debut, Vega dove headfirst into the roots of his personal sound, fueled by blues, rockabilly, and his enduring love for Elvis Presley. Stripped of Suicide's confrontational electronics but retaining Vega's outsider energy and voice, the album translates early rock `n roll through an art-punk filter and stands as a cult mast…
On Waves of Time, Gazzi lets rhythm dissolve into a slow emotional tide, stretching piano figures, hushed electronics, and carefully placed silences into music that feels less like a set of tracks than a single, continuous act of contemplation.
Tip! Tip! Tip! Just after the summer post-rock madness of “The Window” in their band HWYUIOD, Shelter & Orion are back with dub versions of Orion Music Workshop’s previous records. Deconstructed or reconstructed in an industrial, post-punk aesthetic, recalling whole On-U Sound golden age (Adrian Sherwood, Mark Stewart, African Head Charge…) as well as Craig Leon, Sheriff Lindo… and more.
**Limited edition of 222 copies, black vinyl two color screenprinted cover** At eight o'clock on a March morning in 2024, as Amsterdam awakened around it, Charlemagne Palestine took his place at the console of the Vater-Müller organ in the Oude Kerk—the city's oldest building, a Gothic monument dating to 1306—and opened a portal. What emerged over the following forty-plus minutes, now captured on this limited edition LP, stands as one of the most concentrated distillations of Palestine's six-dec…
There are albums that defy categorization, records that exist in a space entirely their own. Comus' 1971 debut is one such work - an album that, over fifty years later, still sounds like nothing else ever recorded. Formed in Beckenham in the late 1960s, Comus emerged from the same South London arts scene that nurtured a young David Bowie - indeed, they performed at his legendary Beckenham Free Festival in August 1969. But while their contemporaries in the British folk revival looked back to trad…
Sai Yoshiko (佐井好子) - one of Japan's most legendary and enigmatic singers - made her debut in 1975 with Mangekyou, an album of superbly crafted songs and crystal-clear vocals over Yuji Ohno's lush, funky arrangements. Three more masterpieces followed in rapid succession: Mikkou (1976), Taiji no Yume (1977), and Chou no Sumu Heya (1978). Her melancholic, poetic lyrics drew from the gothic imagination of Japanese novelists like Ranpo Edogawa, Mushitaro Oguri, and Yumeno Kyusaku - dark fairy tales s…
Kin Gajo is a Brussels based electro-acoustic jazz trio drawing inspiration on the one hand from J Dilla and Flying Lotus, and on the other from the sound of British jazz artists such as The Comet Is Coming, Yusef Dayes, and Alfa Mist. With their atypical instrumentation-accordion, saxophone, and drums-the trio has developed a sound entirely of their own, with the accordion often resembling a heavy analog synthesizer.
DJ and producer Lefto featured Kin Gajo on his compilation Lefto Presents Jazz…

** 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…
