Conal
Conal arrived in 1981 on the Norwegian independent Uniton Records, in a run of 4,000 copies, at a point when Conrad Schnitzler was long past being a German secret. The founding member of Kluster and a brief early presence in Tangerine Dream had spent the 1970s building a body of work largely outside the record industry, issuing a torrent of self-released cassettes and LPs whose titles almost all open with the syllable Con, completed by a second that points somewhere. By the start of the 1980s th…

A Decent Run
Tip! *100 copies limited edition* "A Decent Run is the result of a journey that began in 2000 and was recorded in 2024, seven years after the death of Tom Raworth, whose poems I used as the basis for ten tracks—ten songs—to which I added two pieces by Steve Lacy. It is a journey through many different kinds of music, lyrics, images, and sounds, yet one shaped by a single principle: the idea of music and improvisation as a collective, choral process, in which space and prominence are given to ind…

In∞fi∞ni∞to
The new transmission from Turin's My Cat Is An Alien, Maurizio and Roberto Opalio's long-running cosmic project, issued in a hand-numbered limited edition of 99 copies on their own Opax Records imprint. Two long-form pieces built around what the Opalios describe as a genuine creative breakthrough: applying their established practice of spontaneous composition in reverse, working by subtraction once the "apogee of real-time creation" had been reached, in service of an idea of infinity passing thr…
Los Mandatos del Aire
On Los Mandatos del Aire, Peruvian flautist Camilo Ángeles deconstructs his instrument into a bridge between worlds, channeling Amazonian cosmology and ayahuasca visions through extended techniques, microtonalities, analog processing and reverb‑chamber acoustics in dialogue with Musuk Nolte's photography.
Everybody Else's Life Too
Were you to tap the lifeblood of Chicago music, you would find Josh Berman flowing liberally through its veins. Active on the scene for more than a quarter century, the cornetist, bandleader, and composer has helped retain the unique flavor of the city's soundscape, with particular attention to the music of its jazz past – groups like the Austin High Gang and the Oliver-Armstrong lineage and Freddie Keppard, as well as more recent figures from Lester Bowie to Wadada Leo Smith.
But Berman is more…
Tippin' On Through
Tippin' On Through, by tenor saxophonist Curtis Amy, stands as a defining statement from one of West Coast jazz’s most eloquent voices. Recorded and released in 1965, the album pairs Amy’s warm, hard‑bop tenor with soulful grooves, crisp arrangements, and sympathetic ensemble interplay, creating a record that is both accessible and richly musical.
Tippin' On Through showcases Amy’s robust tone, lyrical phrasing, and rhythmic agility. Across the program he moves effortlessly between blues‑inflect…

Bayou-Borne / Jitterbug
Fifth release in the MFR Contemporary Series. The Amsterdam-based ensemble MAZE (La Berge, Calderone, Davis, Kyriakides, Hijmans, van Houdt) realises two works by Annea Lockwood, both built around graphic scores derived from photographs of natural systems. Bayou-borne, for Pauline (2016) is dedicated to Pauline Oliveros and uses a map of Houston's bayous; Jitterbug (2007) interprets rocks from the Continental Divide with Lockwood's pre-recorded aquatic and terrestrial insect sounds.
Absens
MMMD returns with Absens, a commanding new album that expands their deep monolithic sound into a darker, more intimate terrain: across nine tracks, the record fuses subterranean low frequencies, complex inter‑modulations and brooding textures with distant threads of folk, all rendered through custom‑made instruments and meticulous sound design. Absens is an exploration of absence and presence, where physical weight meets spectral intimacy — MMMD assemble these elements into an immersive work tha…
Born Again Pagans

My Song
My Song is the beloved high point of the so-called "European" or "Belonging" quartet led by pianist Keith Jarrett, and one of the most cherished albums in the ECM catalogue. Recorded in 1977, it unites Jarrett with three of Scandinavia's finest musicians: saxophonist Jan Garbarek, bassist Palle Danielsson and drummer Jon Christensen, a band whose chemistry was extraordinary. Where Jarrett's contemporaneous American quartet leaned toward fire and abstraction, the European group cultivated a more …
