Maurizio Bianchi's Carcimetrio, first issued by Simple Logic in 2006, back on CDr: four long pieces named after tumours and growths, over seventy minutes, mastered by Siegmar Fricke. 30 copies.

CD version. Bureau B present a reissue of Heldon's Un Rêve Sans Conséquence Spéciale, originally released in 1976. Heldon's Richard Pinhas has never been shy of pinpointing his influences while, at the same time, making music that is noticeably distinct from any of his designated sources. He has, for instance, made it clear that a significant font of inspiration was Robert Fripp's guitar style and melding of rock music with cutting-edge electronics (especially in collaboration with Brian Eno). I…

Three works by Åke Parmerud from 2013 to 2021: Louder Than Life, a five-movement memorial to composer Anders Blomqvist, Raw, made only from the unprocessed output of one unruly software synth, and Dark Matter, built from the electromagnetic fields of household devices.

Long deleted, last copies around: This is a simultaneous performance of "Coyote III" and "Pianovariation 1984". Recording of a performance at Seibu Museum of Art (Sôgetsu Hall), Tokyo, June 2nd 1984.

*Limited edition of 300 copies.* Directed by Patrice Romme, The Devil's Nightmare was an Italian-Belgian production and featured main performers Jean Servais alongside a sensual Erika Blanc; also worthy of note is the disturbing presence of the graceful and filiform silhouette of Daniel Emilfork in the role of Satan. The film's components are typical of the Euro-horror genre of the time: a Gothic castle, eroticism, and bloody murders...all in a spectral and dense photograph. It is the music of M…

Third album by Glass Triangle, Zeena Parkins on electric harp, Mette Rasmussen on alto saxophone and voice and Ryan Sawyer on drums: a studio session moving from delicate passages to dense, kinetic interplay.

Tip! *2026 much needed repress!!* Thorn Wych is a musical instrument maker and musician based in the Lancashire town of Bacup, specialising in work made from tree branches. Particular to her interest are UK native trees; so far Wych Elm, Lime, Wild Cherry, Oak, and Yew. With these unique instruments, crafted in her backyard workshop, she creates music that evokes memories of an unknown world—out of sync with time and place and beyond the boundaries of the material realm.  Her pieces consist main…

Rudolf Eb.er, founder of Schimpfluch and once Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck, in four self-experiments recorded at Om Kult in Osaka in 2026: psychoactive acoustics and cut-up decay on a white 9" lathe cut, thirty numbered copies.

French-Moroccan singer Basma Otmani sings in Darija over Temir Alcy's mix of ambient, leftfield and experimental folk: eleven songs on grief, a broken love and a slow return to light. Released by Stroom.

The final recordings of Antonio Infantino, made months before his death in 2018. Twenty-one tracks captured live, with no overdubs or post-production: voice, drum and the circling pulse of Lucanian tarantism, from the Beat poet who rebuilt the trance music of Basilicata into a songbook of his own.

Iva Bittová, Gyan Riley and Evan Ziporyn as Eviyan, live at Victoriaville on 16 May 2013: violin, voice and kalimba, acoustic guitar and clarinets in songs between Moravian folk, minimalism and chamber music.

* Gatefold LP, 180 grams quality reissue * It’s incredible to witness this resurgence of Strata-East’s recordings over the last few years – an appreciation for the label’s ground-breaking approach to music-making, backed by a phenomenal catalogue, continues to attract listeners both new as well as its devoted faithful once again giving rise to its revered and cult-like status. The label’s return to prominence and its subsequent reintroduction to new audiences has been aided, in no small part, by…

*150 copies limited edition* LichtPunkte is a dense work, enhanced by inventive arrangements and powerful narrative ideas so abundant that the album could serve as a launchpad for several more works. There are spaces filled with melodies that float and hover, and there are layers that are intricate and full of forward movement. CON's drive and focused creative energy make this work an outstanding example of the 'Berlin Kosmische Schule'.

CD eissue of Don Cherry's classic Eternal Rhythm Group, recorded at the Berlin Jazz Festival, 1968. An amazing line up of: Cherry (cornet, gender and saron [gamelan], flutes), Albert Mangelsdorff (trombone), Eje Thelin (trombone), Bernt Rosengren (tenor sax, oboe, clarinet, flute), Sonny Sharrock (guitar), Karl Berger (vibes, piano, gender), Joachim Kühn (piano, prepared piano), Arild Andersen (bass), & Jacques Thollot (drums, saron, gong, bells, voice). Two "side-long" pieces with gamelan under…

Naples, 1977. Luciano Cilio's sole recorded work is pure magic - four "quadri" where strings, woodwinds, wordless voices and solitary guitar trace the edges of silence. Closer to Arvo Pärt and Morton Feldman than to any Italian prog, yet entirely its own universe. Music that breathes, suspends time, breaks your heart without raising its voice. Decades ahead of its time. First ever remaster from the original tapes.

**Never-before released document of Don Cherry blowing cool fire in Rome, 1976. First official release. Mastered from the original master tapes.** An amazing document of the life experiment that was the Organic Music Society. This super quality audio, recorded by RAI (the italian public broadcasting company) in 1976 for television, documents a quartet concert focused on vocals compositions and improvisations. Here, Don Cherry and his family-community’s musical belief emerges in its simplicity, w…

Originally released in 1991 this was Henry Threadgil's new band's debut release. That's where Threadgill introduced the unique concept of dual tubas and dual electric guitars. In Very Very Circus's ultra-layered sound world all roles melt equally into an unprecedented sound experience. A big step forward in modern jazz from one of the greatest composers of our time. Henry Threadgill - alto saxophone, flute, Curtis Fowlkes - trombone, Brandon Ross - electric guitar, Marcus Rojas, Edwin Rodriguez …

The problem with Harmonia is that words simply don't do the band justice. A super-group made up of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius (of Cluster) and Michael Rother (of Neu!) they re-defined not only the Krautrock genre but also electronic music in general with a mere two full-length albums ('Musik von Harmonia' and 'Deluxe') so saying that they are an important act, especially on the pages of this particular website just doesn't do them justice. With a flawless blend of electronic and e…

*300 copies limited edition* For the Raven was due to be the next release after Ligeliahorn on the Nekrophile Rekords label. Sadly the project fell through and, even more sadly, it coincided with a number of the celebrants being rounded up to enjoy a short holiday at Her Majesty's Pleasure, expense and, indeed, insistence. By the time our intrepid Disciples Of Doom re emerged the momentum had been lost and For the Raven was consigned to the Metgumbnervaults to, until recently, only make an occas…

2026 stock Forgetting You Is Like Breathing Water, the self-titled debut from the duo of trumpeter Will Evans and guitarist, synthesist, producer and multi-instrumentalist Theo Trump, arrives like a vault revelation. It feels like a decades-old yet newly unearthed masterwork of gorgeous ambient improvisation, the sort of thing scholars live to research and shepherd into deluxe reissue. The patient, crystalline chords that swell and resonate like a series of confessions; the textured brass murmur…

Julius Hemphill's 1972 debut, self-produced for his Mbari label and recorded in St. Louis with Baikida Carroll, Abdul Wadud and Phillip Wilson. The title track spends fourteen minutes on a funky 11/8 groove.

A powerful "electric Miles" sounding band reinterprets a couple of classics  - In A Silent Way and Freedom Jazz Dance - and adds some wholly contemporary improvisation to the mix."2026 Is Miles and Coltrane's Centenary year and if Jazz music needs any Gods then surely they fit the bill without question. When I heard In a Silent Way for the first time back in 1970 when I was 17 (incidentally that was the first year I heard Coltrane as well) it truly was music like nothing I had ever heard before.…

Eat The Rich is an eclectic intersection of two serial collaborators: Giffoni (No Fun Fest / No Fun Productions) continues to explore new dimensions in sound, primarily using modular / synths (with recent full lengths on Ideologic Organ and Room40), paired here with the instinctually abstract percussion of Corsano (known from working with everyone from Bill Orcutt to Richard Bishop to Bjork but with literally 100's of appearances under his belt since the turn of the century). Produced by David S…

Giuni Russo's 1981 CGD album, produced with Franco Battiato and Alberto Radius and arranged by Battiato and Giusto Pio: electronics, experimental pop and avant-garde singing, remastered on 180g yellow vinyl.

Dramatic moments of enlightenment – when the mask is dropped and truth revealed – are found in tales from the Buddha and Euripides to Scooby Doo and Star Wars. And few artists have been as fascinated by niggling the clueless or deflating the stuck-up as Harry Partch (1901-1974). As a lifelong outsider, the conformist society he experienced and the narrow-minded attitudes (not to mention musical delusions) that permeated it, are themes to which he often returned. In the 1950s, seeing a world that…

The 1972 official bootleg of the Islands line-up on tour in the USA, the last of the original King Crimson vinyl series, cut on 200g from masters approved by Robert Fripp.

Recorded at Rudy Van Gelder’s studio in Hackensack, New Jersey, on May 19, 1957, Paul Chambers Quintet captures bassist Paul Chambers leading an exceptional ensemble at the height of the hard-bop era. Released by Blue Note in 1958, the album brings together trumpeter Donald Byrd, tenor saxophonist Clifford Jordan, pianist Tommy Flanagan, and drummer Elvin Jones.  Chambers is more than the foundation beneath the group: his resonant bass lines and confident solos give the session its unmistakable …

"The shock and awe that Bitches Brew produced within and without the jazz world on its release in March 1970 was largely unexpected, the result of the music’s uncompromising power and what many felt to be its perplexing, eccentric sound and structure. In retrospect, we know how Miles’ unconventional studio methodology and Teo Macero’s subsequent compositional editing of the voluminous taped material innovated the remarkable finished product. But what has only marginally been discussed is the ext…

Emil Beaulieau, the persona of RRRecords founder Ron Lessard and America's Greatest Living Noise Artist, on a 7" lathe cut: two untitled sides of turntable abuse and recycled sound, thirty numbered copies on black, clear and white vinyl.

MPS studio, Villingen, 14 September 1980. Cecil Taylor alone at the Bösendorfer Imperial the studio had bought for Gulda, after two days of practising. Eight pieces, one of them fifty-three seconds long, the first side running as a suite. Berendt heard Tatum, Bud Powell and boogie in it. Taylor wrote the title in the guest book.

Originally released in 2000, Iron grew out of Pavlov's teenage fascination with heavy metal and the underground record-exchanging community of the late Soviet era. At fourteen, inspired by Iron Maiden's “Running Free,” he picked up a six-string guitar brought to him by his grandmother and decided that he and his friends could also play that kind of music. Before long, they were rehearsing in a Soviet youth club with whatever equipment was available, looking for the sound they heard in early heav…

** 2026 Stock ** * Silver & Black / White Vinyl. Metallic Gatefold sleeve. 200g 2LP. Augmented album * This 1983 period in which Gyllensköld was recorded was a fantastic time for the evolution of Steven Stapleton’s audio art. His collaborations with Diana Rogerson, Robert Haigh (Sema), David Tibet, and Thirlwell around this time elicited some of the most exciting work Nurse With Wound had yet recorded. Listen to this material and compare it to Chance Meeting and it becomes clear that in just a f…

One of the most influential dub albums ever made. The remixing techniques used – radically new for 1973 – helped transform the role of the producer and the engineer to that of creative artists in their own right.

Cien Fuegos present a reissue of Schlippenbach Quartet's Three Nails Left, a classic mid-1970s originally released on FMP in 1975 and showing Schlippenbach is in sublime form. It features a stellar line-up, with  Evan Parker - soprano and tenor saxophone; Peter Kowald - double bass and Paul Lovens - percussion. Side A was recorded live at 3rd Jazz Festival Moers June 2nd, 1974 by Michael Krause. Side B was recorded live at the Quartier Latin Berlin, February 2nd, 1975 by Jost Gebers with the FMP…

David Grubbs' commissioned music for Josiah McElheny's singing paintings, wall works with hand-blown glass discs that resonate sound: one 30-minute piece for lap steel, electric guitar and Serge synthesizer, built on microtonal slide.

Passiflora, the tenth edition of the Music To Watch Seeds Grow By series: KiF Productions follow the passion flower from seed to bloom and back to earth in nine collaged ambient pieces. Cassette.

The 2018 debut by Chicago saxophonist Isaiah Collier with The Chosen Few, recorded when he was 20: 66 minutes of spiritual jazz after Coltrane, between gospel, free improvisation and heavy rhythm. First time on vinyl, limited first pressing.

For over 25 years, David Madson (aka Odd Nosdam) has been stationed away from the light of the mainstream, diligently working the nightshift. Every so often, we awake to find another of his bleary and beautiful missives slung into the waking world – albums whose assemblages of sampled grooves, atmospheres and voices are unified by a hallucinatory sense of melody, like disparate visions strung together through ribbons of sleep-talk. From his earliest days as a member of the seminal group cLOUDDEA…

Hiroshi Yoshimura was commissioned in 1984 by Japanese multi-national personal care company Shiseido to create something that might be entirely out of his own wheelhouse: music that could complement a fragrance. Mixing bird song and sea sound with environmental field recordings, plus the usual electronics paraphernalia, he just released something truly inspiring. A record still ahead of its time !
