Breaking the Surface
Two of Annea Lockwood's dramatic works dealing with issues of spiritual wholeness. Duende (1997), about shamanic transformation, is written with and performed by Thomas Buckner. Lockwood selected sounds which reminded her of certain vocal transformations heard in recordings of shamanic ceremonies. In such singing, changes in the voice mirror and also help to bring about changes in the singer's mind and awareness. Within an improvisational framework, Buckner explores the possibility of change of …
Sottana & Calze
On this split cassette, Sottana & Calze’s The Gloria and The Rita collide in a sharply focused post‑industrial ritual. Trifurcated contact mics, woolen stockings and monophonic chants meet the Canadian project’s obsessive “canes” study, pressed onto dual‑color shells as a rare Canadian/Italo‑Norwegian collaboration built for XXI Congresso Post Industriale.
Beautiful United Harmony Happening, The Education of an Amphibian
* 150 copies Small repress* “Beautiful United Harmony Happening” / “The Education of an Amphibian” - the second release by Alga Marghen’s brand new free jazz imprint, Formalibera - is also dedicated to the output of John Tchicai following his return to Copenhagen during the mid 1960s. Comprising two pieces, remarkably, this single LP effectively bookends a rich period of activity for the saxophonist, capturing one of his earliest group formations as a leader from 1966, as well as one of his last…
D.D.D.D.
On The Gloria, D.D.D.D. channels Heretic/Erotic noise from the cold north into a focused burst of post‑industrial intensity. Conceived as a special tape for XXI Congresso Post Industriale, it distills Desire, Devotion, Dedication and Discipline into a sharp, ritual object: glossy black shell, stark white print, and sound built to scorch in real time.
Motore Immobile
To quote Pitchfork, this is 'one of the most sumptuous, spiritual ambient albums of any era or provenance.

277 pages. 196 x 268 mm. Open NOW JAZZ NOW and you're not just looking at a book - you're entering the minds of three lifelong obsessives.

This book is the result of that shared mania. What they've created isn't a conventional history or a ra…
Open Air: The Complete Saxophone Quartet Compositions of Julius Hemphill
This recording brings together the forty known compositions for Saxophone Quartet by Julius Hemphill (1939-1995). These works were composed between 1978 and 1989 for performances with the World Saxophone Quartet. These compositions are, with the fewest of exceptions, written specifically “on” the saxophone quartet. He will at times set a piece written for his small-group ensembles onto the saxophone choir, but in the main, this music is created on and through the saxophones. He uses the saxopho…
Silence and Secrecy
Zos Kia’s music is an essential insight and archival piece into the early work of the industrial scene and particularly of Coil in their formative stages. Their recordings are even darker and more industrial-rooted than much of the Coil material that followed. The music is primal, brutal and reveals the interests that surrounded Coil/Zos Kia and the early years of Thee Temple ov Psychic Youth (TOPY) / Psychic TV...
John Gosling was an original member of Zos Kia (as Joan D'Arc), alongside John …
And the birds sang...
On And the birds sang…, Larry Stabbins revisits two of his deepest musical friendships, paring everything down to duets with Keith Tippett and Louis Moholo‑Moholo, where tenderness, ferocity and crooked song coexist in fiercely alive, small‑room intensity.
Jazz In Britain '68-'69
*2026 repress* John Surman's Jazz in Britain '68-'69 is an overview disc of his '60s band and one of the more enjoyable vintage British jazz records. These tunes come from several different sessions recorded in the late sixties, as evidenced by the alternate drummers - Alan Jackson and Tony Oxley - and the use of different instrumentation, like the three-horn modal piece "Bouquet Garni," from 1968 that places Surman in the company of only two other horn players - Alan Skidmore and Mike Osborne -…
Clandestine Anticipation
On Clandestine Anticipation, Krisma leave Italo-disco behind for a humid, video‑age dystopia, nine songs where synthetic funk, proto‑industrial atmosphere, and tropical mirages collide into one of the strangest Italian pop artefacts of the early 80s.
1982-1986 (Expanded)
Even with just basic knowledge of the conditions of the totalitarian regime in the former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (ČSSR), it is not difficult to understand why the project Maťkovia was never allowed to release anything officially during its existence from 1982 to 1987. The ironic, nihilistic lyrics full of dark humor, describing the despair and greyness of the normalization era in Bratislava in the 1980s simply had no chance of passing through the censorship at the time. The work of the …

An unceremonious release of some old songs strewn across the past few years, played and recorded into a lounge room in Annandale, Gadigal land. Marking a time of playing around lots with jasper (when time was easier to wrangle) and hopefully making room for new songs to come visit! we are singing forever. Sounds from budapest train, typewriter, guitars, an old fan favourite, kata, jasper, laughter.

Acustica
Composed between 1968 and 1970 and originally issued by Deutsche Grammophon in 1972, there are arguably few works within the canon of 20th Century experimental music as beloved and sought after as the Argentine composer Mauricio Kagel’s Acustica. Created for “experimental sound-producers and loudspeakers”, comprising electroacoustic material assembled on 4-track tape in 1969 at Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) in Cologne, and acoustic material for 2 to 5 musicians, scored over roughly 200 filing-ca…
Zermisz
*150 copies limited edition* If you have been paying close enough attention to the often strange yet alluring part of the world Richard Youngs operates in, you should have noticed that since the middle of 2025 he embarked on a new sonic journey that has subsequently become a trilogy of LPs on Fourth Dimension Records. Each of these is limited to 150 and is named after either a mythical Babylonian king or entity of Richard’s own devising, while the music itself has been of an instrumental nature …
