Dilijans
Comet Records present the new reissue out of the Comet new reissue series, Dilijans by Ayizan. A mind-blowing session of spiritual jazz recorded in NYC in 1984 led by Haitian genius Alix Pascal blending traditional Ra Ra elements with modal/spiritual melodies. The result was like nothing else coming out of Haiti or the Haitian exile community in the US at the time. Dark, mystical, lyrical and abstract, with its otherworldly shifting rhythms, Dilijans came off like a Haitian version of Bitches Br…
Afro Trane
Third all-solo outing from Nat Birchall. This time Nat pays homage to the patron saint of the tenor saxophone, John Coltrane. With a balanced programme of original songs and John Coltrane compositions the album focusses on the more Afrocentric aspects of the music.
Maidstone
Maidstone is the debut album on Stroom by Swedish artist Velv.93, released as a double LP featuring 12 tracks of deeply immersive ambient music. Drawing from '90s ambient influences with understated drones, warbling tones, and scattered field recordings, it unfolds patiently like a slowly advancing glacier, offering a comforting yet chilly companion for winter introspection.
Behind the scenes, the record bears the imprint of a strong visual and spatial imagination. Mixed by Eraclio Pagliuca and …
Io E Mara
A Milan-born multi-instrumentalist of Venetian heritage, Alberto Baldan Bembo was a gifted vibraphonist, organist, pianist, arranger, and composer whose work bridged jazz, pop, and film music. By the early 1960s, he was performing with Italy’s leading ensembles, including I Menestrelli del Jazz and Bruno De Filippi’s group, and soon became an in-demand session musician. For several years, he toured with the legendary Mina, providing the piano and organ backbone to her live shows—a role that shar…
Paese Sotto Inchiesta
Edition of 400. In the twilight of the 1960s, as Italian cinema reached new creative heights, a parallel universe of musical experimentation was quietly flourishing in the studios of Rome and Milan. The production of soundtracks for both major and minor Italian films had given birth to another business venture - one that proved less profitable but infinitely more creative and liberated from client constraints: the composition of music libraries. Now, Musica Per Immagini presents the first reissu…

Backengrillen
”Music and art without definite labels is a necessity for a better living - create your own individual genres and open up for more death-jazz-core-noise-metal-poetry to enter your world of destroying the local and global stupidities around us” - Mats Gustafsson "We really hope this slab of stupid, violent death rock will ruin someone’s day. Haha." - David Sandström Backengrillen is a new ensemble with their roots in HC, punk, noise and free Jazz. All members from Umeå, with roots in the original…
Frequencies In The Fog
Sound trails, minimal structures built with pads, discreet electronic elements, slow, deep and enveloping bass lines, backgrounds of confused voices treated in reverse, circular movements alternating with liquid stasis and quiet... Creaks on layered sound substrates of indecipherable nature, which seem to emerge from a thick blanket of fog that reveals fragments of real landscapes here and there, ready to disappear from view again after a few moments, once more hidden by clouds of steam in const…
Grotto In The Sun
Winding through cavernous and dark meanders, amid gurgling water, rustling sounds, low and deep pulsations, incisive and impactful sound masses, floating waves, crystalline drips, sudden rays of light, electronic spirals, and unexpected openings onto almost soothing soundscapes and quiet environmental stasis, Rod Modell paints musical textures that are apparently abstract and contemplative, but in reality charged with pathos and drama, taking advantage of a spectacular, enveloping and surprising…
Quintessence
A remarkable document finally surfaces after nearly 40 years in the NDR archives. John Taylor - the piano master of dense, orchestral voicings and skittish melodic invention - captured here in 1987 with the full NDR Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dieter Glawischnig. All music written and orchestrated by Taylor himself. This is the logical conclusion of everything the man stood for musically - from Azimuth to Johnny Griffin's band to this luxurious symphonic setting. Stan Sulzmann on sopra…
Doo Dah Nean
A bizarrely entrancing jewel from the depths of the Japanese underground, Doo Dah Nean was originally released in small run of hand assembled cassettes by the La Musica label in the late 90’s. The album is the sole release and evidence of Nean, an entirely under-the-radar trio that crossed the sensual, disassociated female vocals of Japanese iroke kayōkyoku music with off-balance shamanic rhythm and echoing electronic rumble. Nean were the trio of Yui on bass and electronics, Naoko on voice, and…
Elf Bagatellen
The historical importance, influence, and stature of the Schlippenbach Trio was cemented long ago. Formed in 1970 by German pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach in the early days of European free jazz, the group also featured British saxophonist Evan Parker and German drummer Paul Lovens, and soon formed the core of the mighty Globe Unity Orchestra from that point on. As heard on its 1972 debut for FMP Pakistani Pomade - reissued by Cien Fuegos back in 2015 - its foundational music helped establi…
Hibernation
Special discounted pricing. In the Italian panorama of the '70s, Chrisma (Christina Moser and Maurizio Arcieri) skirted the common rules of Italian pop (the aura of progressive rock or the first wave of prolific folk singers); in fact, they created Italian new wave from scratch. After the release of their 1977 debut album Chinese Restaurant (SPITTLE 051LP) -- so far from the punk revolution and so deep into the algid dynamics of the Mittel-European sound -- came Hibernation, their creative peak …

Reich/Richter
On Reich/Richter, Steve Reich joins Ensemble Intercontemporain and conductor George Jackson for a single 37‑minute arc of pulsed colour, a chamber‑orchestral score conceived in dialogue with Gerhard Richter’s moving stripes, where pattern, blur, and return become musical form.
I grow accustomed to the dark
*300 copies limited edition* The first resonant space Zosha Warpeha played in was the Emanuel Vigeland Museum in Oslo, Norway. Built as a mausoleum, its walls reach up into a gradual archway, creating an environment where sound expands and reverberates for twelve seconds before decaying into silence. Warpeha was greeted only by dim lights when she entered, and it wasn’t until she had spent several minutes listening that she was able to make out the frescoes that covered every inch of the room: g…

Monkey's Birthday

Following on from last years release of the soundtrack to Mare’s Tail (the first collaboration with Larcher), this year sees the release of the soundtrack to his 2nd film, Monkey’s Birthday. This LP is a condensation of the essence of this 6 hour film. The sound is partly taken directly from the existing soundtrack and partly from stereo …
12.16
Tori says "12:16 is a piece where I recorded all the sounds of my daily life from waking up in the morning to going to bed at night on December 16, 2025, compressed that recording into an approximately 15-minute track, added my piano and other materials (such as Lee Morgan's riff, the line " Wandering around the mountains is painful" from the Noh chant "Yamanba," and Kazuo Funaki's 1969 song "Yūbae no Futari"), played it at the live venue, and performed along with it. The PC operation at the ve…
