Hohai Bushi
«Hohai-Bushi» is the meeting between Paal Nilssen-Love and his Large Unit ensemble, here in a 13-person lineup, and the legendary Japanese musician Akira Sakata. Since the 1960s, Sakata has been one of the leading saxophonists in free jazz and improvisation, starting with the Yamashita Trio, continuing with his own ensembles, and later transitioning to younger musicians from various genres, including noise and experimental music. Akira Sakata is a living legend from the last 50 years of radical …
Three For Shepp
On Three for Shepp, Marion Brown leads a blazing American free‑jazz ensemble with Dave Burrell, Norris “Sirone” Jones and Grachan Moncur III, unleashing high‑energy fire music that shows the Impulse! era at full boil yet still somehow under‑sung.
The Dream Island of Birds
Mike Cooper returns to Discrepant with »The Dream Island of Birds«. Neither documentary nor abstraction, »The Dream Island of Birds« sits between field recording, memory, and invention — an island heard through time and circuitry.
In the early 1990s, Cooper met illustrator and writer Charles van Sandwyk while walking on a small island in Fiji. Van Sandwyk was living there quietly, working from a modest bamboo house near the beach. Years later, Cooper learned that following a serious car accident…
Lung Oysters
Super Limited edition. Housed in heavy gauge single sleeve with insert on transparent aqua marine vinyl. The legendary Nurse With Wound, helmed by the visionary Steven Stapleton, returns with Living Oysters, a mesmerizing collaboration with Irish experimental musician Diarmuid Mac Diarmada. This limited edition vinyl release presents a heady freerange mix of krautrock, experimental and toe tapping psychedelia, leaning towards a slightly more rock orientated sound that pushes the project into exc…
Amore Libero = Free Love
Pearly light blue vinyl edition. 30x30cm insert with extensive liner notes. An origin story, pressed in wax. Before Profondo Rosso. Before Suspiria. Before the name Goblin became synonymous with the sound of Italian horror cinema. There was this.
Amore Libero - Free Love is the first film score ever composed by Fabio Frizzi - written in 1974 when he was just twenty-three, for Pier Ludovico Pavoni's sun-drenched erotic drama of the same name, shot entirely on location in the Seychelles. The film …
Sonic House Reunion
On Sonic House Reunion, Bobby Bradford, Mark Dresser and Hafez Modirzadeh reconvene a long‑running alliance, turning cornet, five‑string bass and hybrid reeds into a quietly radical chamber unit where Ornette‑rooted lyricism, spectral tuning and deep listening pull the music in multiple directions at once.
Wembley 1974
Pink Floyd’s legendary Wembley 1974 performance captures the band at one of the most pivotal moments in their career, as they toured in support of the groundbreaking The Dark Side Of The Moon. Recorded during a period of extraordinary creative momentum, this historic show offers a powerful snapshot of Pink Floyd at the height of their artistic vision, blending atmospheric soundscapes, immersive instrumentation, and the unmistakable sense of experimentation that would come to define an era.

Actual Earth Music - Volume 3 & 4
Earthball are an avant/noise/rock wrecking ball of a band from Nanaimo, Canada. Rooted in total improvisation, free expression, and a deeply psychedelic sensibility, EarthBall operate on pure instinct. They hurtle onwards in a combustion of spontaneous composition, shooting from the hip, as they fall out of the sky ablaze. The group encompass Isabel Ford (vocals, bass), John Brennan (drums, percussion), Jeremy Van Wyke (vocals, guitar, trumpet), Kellan Maclaughlin (guitar, talkbox), and Liam Mur…
With A Heartbeat
Originally released in 2003, With A Heartbeat brings together Pharoah Sanders, Bill Laswell and Graham Haynes in a collaboration that remains as elusive as it is forward-thinking. Now reissued by Glossy Mistakes, the album receives its first official vinyl edition, remastered and available both in standard black and a limited burgundy pressing.
At the core of the record lies an unusual but striking element: the steady pulse of a human heartbeat. Rather than a conceptual gesture, it becomes the f…
Spare Beauty
First 12-inch edition of Chance Operation's Spare Beauty, originally a double 7-inch on Jeep Records in 1982. A dense four-track EP of hypnotic, infectious, sax-driven Japanese post-punk by the Higo Hiroshi-led project, finally laid out in the format the music has always demanded.
All That I Am
A strange and beautiful artifact of late‑70s outsider music returns: Kit Ream’s lone 1978 album, All That I Am, has been reissued on vinyl and digital formats. Once a private-press secret treasured by psych‑folk collectors, this ultra‑rare record is now available again for listeners drawn to music that sits defiantly outside conventional boundaries.
Weirdos, or so they said. A long‑term psychological state. All That I Am grew from that condition — music shaped by solitude, introspection and an u…
Juvenile Rock
First-ever vinyl edition of Dendö Marionette's Juvenile Rock, a 2LP collection of unreleased recordings, alternate versions, studio experiments and live captures previously circulated only on a tiny CD-R run and a cassette via Brooklyn's Bitter Lake Recordings. The definitive companion to the band's self-titled studio overview, opening a window onto one of Osaka's most singular synth-wave units at its creative peak.
Heat
With Heat, Société Étrange extends its work around repetition, groove and cyclic structures, shaping an instrumental music that is both hypnotic and enveloping. Without any radical shift, the Lyon-based trio subtly moves towards more melodic and more cinematic forms, revealing warmer, more textured and sometimes more luminous atmospheres.
Formed by Antoine Bellini (electronics), Romain Hervault (bass) and Jonathan Grandcollot (drums), Société Étrange builds here a more diffuse trance, driven by …
Koura
Two pieces of multitrack composition built from sustained tones on solo acoustic instruments - a 'Jubel Töne' zither in the first, a 'Hohner Organetta' chord organ in the second - each extended through real-time electronic processing (feedback looping, downsampling, pitch-shifting, reverberation, oscillator interaction) and extended playing techniques. Part of an ongoing series on layered acoustic-tone composition. The title refers to a sheep-shearing ceremony still observed in rural Crete.
Steam Waterfall
«Steam Waterfall» is the second album in an expanded version of Paal Nilssen-Love's Large Unit. But this isn't the same Extra Large Unit you heard on «More Fun Please» from 2018. This is a live recording from the Oslo Jazz Festival in 2022 featuring core members of Large Unit along with a range of younger musicians Paal had met through workshops and teaching in the two years leading up to the concert. The number of musicians heard is 25—the largest Unit to date—but during the performance, there …
Alpha Wave Music
First time reissue of dreamy new age electronic ambient music recorded by the musician/magician Shiho in Japan between the years 1989-1990. This can be seen as a follow up to her legendary album "The Body is a Message of the Universe". The hauntingly beautiful and captivating "Alpha Wave Music” features exotic, floating and shimmering, synthesizer textures with shifting tone colors bringing the listener to a very special magic place. Here Shiho experiment with binaural and alpha wave 1/f fluctua…
Yellow Carcass In The Blue
Legendary Japanese jazz vocalist Kimiko Kasai, one of the most innovative singers of the 1970s, joins forces with the fiery Kosuke Mine Quartet on the newly reissued Yellow Carcass in the Blue, originally released in 1971 on the esteemed Three Blind Mice (TBM) label. This rare leader album captures Kasai at her peak, blending her husky, soulful voice with avant-garde improvisation and fusion grooves, featuring standout tracks like the title song—Masabumi Kikuchi's composition elevated by Kasai's…
Precious Moments
*100 copies limited edition* Sculptural, dreamlike and intimately detailed, Precious Moments is the fourth album by singer and composer Oliver Mann - this time in collaboration with acclaimed Bologna electro-acoustic composer and guitarist Stefano Pilia. A tender remembrance across nine short tracks exploring the affinity and thrills of friendship in a time when we all have internalised distance, the album features guests Mick Turner (Dirty Three / Mess Esque / Cat Power) and a scene stealing ca…
Honnomajika~Naharu × Otomo Yoshihide
This is the second album by the trio "Honnomajika Naharu", consisting of Lapis (guitar & vocals), Hiroshi Higo (bass & vocals), and Masataka Fujikake (drums). This is their first release in about a year since their last album (Honnomajika - Naharu X Keiji Haino: FDR-1052), and is a live album with Otomo Yoshihide (guitar & vocals) as a guest. It is another miraculous work, completely different in type from the previous album, as if the multiple layers of expression have been crystallized into on…
Libelocus-(alpha), Libelocus-(beta), Libelocus-(gamma)
Big tip! Romanian composer, conductor, and musicologist Iancu Dumitrescu is often described as one of the leading figures of spectral music, yet he has produced a body of powerful works resonating with explosive sound and friction that places him very much in his own universe. Dumitrescu studied under his compatriot, the conductor Sergiu Celibidache, who rarely left behind concert recordings. From him Dumitrescu absorbed phenomenology and conducting techniques, incorporating them into his own co…
