Give the Vibes Some
Philadelphia vibraphonist Khan Jamal's 1974 Palm masterpiece receives its first proper reissue. Recorded during Parisian exile, this exploratory album showcases revolutionary vibraphone techniques across four essential tracks - a crucial document of jazz's global underground network.

Impending Divulgence
Startled out of a nightmare, words and melodies echo – emissaries of the Tempted Dissident. Minimalist analogue electronics and haunting vocal lines emerge from the darkness and get caught in the folds of the brain. That’s how you might feel after listening to the fourth album by Te/DIS. The clarity of the electronics and vocals does not fail to make an impact. With this release, Te/DIS continues the sonic path laid out by the previous albums, shaping a body of work whose internal coherence is a…
Anima Trip: Baummusik
Furthering their explorations to the astoundingly singular creative sound world of Anima - the duo of Limpe and Paul Fuchs - Alga Marghen returns with “Anima Trip: Baummusik”, a never before released body of archival recordings made by the pair in the municipal gallery in the Bavarian city of Rosenheim. Joining a body of work that comprises some of the most incredible creations to emerge from Germany between the late 1960 and the 1980s, this much needed addition to Anima’s catalog is a rigorous …
ExpoZoom 1969
The history of music is never concrete. It’s forever changing and rewriting itself. The past becomes the present and the present reforms the past. What was lost is found, and what was known is lost. Our era, defined by the reissue and archival release, will likely be regarded as a definitive period of historical reparisal and reevaluation. Monumental figures have fallen. The obscure and unheralded have finally received their rightful due. Dark Companion’s latest LP - Ron Geesin’s ExpoZoom 1969, …
Blank Forms - Vol. 10: Alien Roots: Éliane Radigue (Book)
A detailed look at the elusive work of a French pioneer of musique concrète and electroacoustic composition Eliane Radigue
Faust IV
Faust left Wümme's anarchic freedom for The Manor's professional constraints. Virgin wanted a hit. Faust IV was the answer: their most paradoxical album, accessible yet destabilizing, part studio work, part salvage. The sessions stretched, the budget vanished, the result endures—uneven, restless, compelling. Fifty years later: still mid-sentence, still profound, gloriously incomplete.
Unfurling
Unfurling introduces a trio where established voices in contemporary experimental music - Angharad Davies, Klaus Lang, and Anton Lukoszevieze - are brought together in an environment shaped as much by deep listening as by compositional foresight. Born out of a residency and recorded during the intense yet open space of a single studio session, the album becomes a portrait of creative trust and shared focus. Throughout the 52-minute performance, each musician both asserts and dissolves their indi…
!?
*2025 Stock, Edition of 160* “An album without titles is a blind date with the listener, who is forced to make an extra (or lesser) effort to clearly grasp both the evident and the more hidden elements of a track, in order to form a personal perception, uncontaminated by pseudo-literary or ‘programmatic’ elements.” “!?” is an album with an unpronounceable name, made up of tracks identified only by their duration, and the two tracks shortened in the vinyl version carry the longer duration that ap…
First Meeting
British septet Trifle’s lone album, First Meeting, fuses jazz-rock complexity, strutting brass, and progressive soul. Recorded in 1971, this overlooked debut teems with inventive horn arrangements, funk-tinged grooves, and a touch of psychedelia, marking the group’s only but potent contribution to the early ‘70s brass-rock canon.
Amore Mio Aiutami
Sonor Music Editions proudly presents the definitive reissue of Piero Piccioni’s often unheralded soundtrack to the 1969 bittersweet Italian comedy classic Amore Mio Aiutami (Help Me, My Love), starring two giants of Italian cinema, Monica Vitti and Alberto Sordi. This soundtrack is a prime example of Piccioni’s immense talent as a composer of timeless, lushly orchestrated lounge music — a masterpiece of its era that rightfully deserves its place alongside his most cherished works from the same …
Synths, Sax & Situationists: The French Musical Underground 1968-1978 (Book)
530 pages! While music fans worldwide celebrate Germany's Krautrock revolution, the equally radical French underground scene has remained largely hidden from view. Ian Thompson's groundbreaking Synths, Sax & Situationists finally illuminates this extraordinary movement that emerged from the revolutionary ferment of May 1968, revealing a generation of musicians who produced some of the most distinctive and vital experimental music of the entire decade.
At the dawn of the 1970s, French musicians …
Exclamation Mark
Before they conjured demons as Black Widow, before Sacrifice would scandalize and entrance the rock world, there was Pesky Gee! and their singular statement of transformation. Released on Pye Records in 1969, Exclamation Mark captures the precise moment when British club soul dissolved into something far stranger and more wonderful. This is the sound of metamorphosis itself: a typical U.K. soul band discovering the outer limits of consciousness, letting psychedelia and progressive impulses infil…
Folklore & Concepts
Folklore & Concepts, the latest release by Smegma—now five decades into their outsider avant-garde career—extends the band’s legacy of ritualistic collage, spontaneous improvisation, and anti-academic noise. Infused with tape, synths, prepared piano, horns, and voice, the album melds shamanistic energy with surreal group interplay, creating an unpredictable and stubbornly original sonic tapestry.
Als de nachtwind die fluistert door de spichtige halmen der duingras
*50 copies limited edition* ‘Als de nachtwind die fluistert door de spichtige halmen der duingras’ (Like the Night Wind That Whispers Through the Spindly Culms of the Dune Grass) is the second solo album by Dutch guitarist Marijn Filius. It follows after a handful of ep’s, self-released on digital formats, throughout 2024 and 2025. The album is a culmination of the modes of guitar playing he has been exploring these last few years and his most substantial release since his debut album from 2021.…
Traveling Light
From out of the dark, the crackle of feed back birdsong signals a return to the land of sound environments exclusive to the music of Rafael Toral. A year and a half after his epochal electric guitar album, Spectral Evolution, Traveling Light finds him sharpening his focus, moving boldly from abstract forms to concrete compositions in the form of a set of jazz standards. Based on Toral’s discography, this may seem an unlikely endeavor, but happily, Traveling Light transpires to be one of the majo…
Poems From A Rooftop
Oliver Doerell and Roger Doering's Dictaphone might not be the most prolific project around, but what they lack in frequency they make up for in sheer impact. 'Poems from a rooftop' is their third album in ten years, and is the first to feature new member Alexander Stolze on violin. The dusty, haunted jazz of 'M.=addiction' and 'Vertigo II' is still visible, but joined by Stolze's shimmering string tones, giving the already rich sound a further layer of depth.
The title 'Poems from a rooftop' co…
Deep Feeling
From the verdant landscapes of Gravesend, Kent, emerged one of British progressive rock's most enigmatic treasures. Deep Feeling's solitary 1971 statement on DJM Records represents a fascinating metamorphosis: the transformation of The Guy Darrell Syndicate, a soul-infused pop outfit, into something far more adventurous and sublime.
When John Swail (the artist formerly known as Guy Darrell) shed his stage persona and joined forces with Martin Jenner (guitar, vocals), David Green (bass, flute, vo…
Seti Non Tael Tene
Tip! *50 copies limited edition* Tocca Il Futuro is pleased and proud to announce “Seti non tael tene”, its tenth cassette release: a unique project by Maurizio Bianchi and Ramona Ponzini, blending industrial, concrete noise, and sound poetry. The unprecedented encounter between Ramona Ponzini and Maurizio Bianchi for Tocca Il Futuro yields a work poised on the threshold between evocation and vertigo: a sonic device unfolding through stratifications, resonances, and semantic as well as acoustic …
