Wave
*Back in print!* By the time this album was released, Antonio Carlos Jobim was already an international superstar. Having recently won a Grammy (1965) for "The Girl From Ipanema", by 1967 all the big name stars from up north were breaking down his door to work with the new "Gershwin of Brazil." In fact, Jobim had just finished working on an album with Frank Sinatra when he went into the studio to record this album. Recorded in 1967, Wave is actually one of the lesser known masterpieces of Brazil…
Here Comes Success
Band Of Susans stretch their guitar‑drone blueprints to breaking point on Here Comes Success, a long‑form barrage of tuned distortion, motorik repetition and coolly mantra‑like vocals that turns noise‑rock excess into something strangely meditative.
Oui, Mais 68 ! Maybe 68 ?
Tip! Edition of 300 copies. François Tusques needs no introduction to serious listeners of European free jazz. His 1965 Free Jazz album - recorded with Bernard Vitet, Michel Portal, Beb Guérin, and François Jeanneau - helped establish Paris as a vital center for the transatlantic avant-garde, laying groundwork for the city's role as spiritual home to visiting American firebrands like Don Cherry, Sunny Murray, and Clifford Thornton. His subsequent work with Barney Wilen (Le Nouveau Jazz, 1967), h…
Joy
A groundbreaking session of European jazz – one of the first true moments of genius from singer Karin Krog! Tracks are long and experimental without getting too far out – and Karin's icy voice flows out magically over compelling tunes that still remain some of the most striking jazz vocals ever recorded! The set has Karin singing with a group of young, hip Scandinavian players that include Jan Garbarek on saxes, Arild Andersen on bass, and Terje Bjorklund on piano – all of whom stretch out in lo…
Scenery
On Scenery, Ryo Fukui turns a late‑start passion into a quietly astonishing debut: airy, confident trio swing and luminous ballads that distil a distinctly Hokkaido sense of space, light and seasonal melancholy into six perfectly breathing performances.
Preludes
** 2026 Repress, revised artwork ** Artist and multi-instrumentalist Flaer looks to the landscape to explore pastoral melancholy on debut release, Preludes. Ensconced in his family home in rural Leicestershire in the early months of 2020, painter and musician Realf Heygate (b. 1994) picked up his childhood cello for the first time in several years and began to play. Setting himself parameters to only record onto 4-track tape with acoustic instruments – cello, piano and acoustic guitar – he assem…
unworld.afterpop
Endlessly uplifting, gorgeous sunshine art-pop from Swedish librarian cum insanely talented multi-instrumentalist Sternpost. Who said the underground had to be glum??Sternpost’s 2023 hit Ulrika felt like something of an awakening, an open door to a vivid and unbelievably lush sound world that was totally at odds with its humble home-recorded nature. Back on Portland outpost Concentric Circles, unworld.afterpop takes our hand again and guides us into a dreamworld of charming avant-pop, drawing in…
Water
Water is a stunning showcase of Kikuchi’s pioneering spirit and profound artistry. The album features tracks such as "Moon Splash," "Spectrum," "Aurola," "Blue Spring," and "Water Song," which embody a seamless fusion of ambient soundscapes and intricate jazz arrangements. Each track immerses the listener in a world of sonic fluidity, reflecting the essence of water itself: ever-changing, adaptable, and deeply resonant. Recorded between 1984 and 1986 at Cracker-Jap Studio in New York City, Water…
The Intergalactic Thing
Last copies, reduced price. Killer a collection of rehearsals taped in the fall of 1969 at Ra's home studio in Philadelphia. The studio was also his home and the home of most of his Arkestra, here called the Astro- Ihnfinity Arkestra. The music here is meditative, soul nurturing medicine. Just about every musician from the Arkestra, even the renowned saxophonists John Gilmore and Marshall Allen, doubles on percussion. One might think, with a discography as extensive as the one Sun Ra boasts, t…
Solid Gold (LP)
Original UK edition on EMI of the second album from 1981, another post-punk masterpiece possibly as influential as the first one and certainly as essential.
Antoine Dougbé et L'Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou 1977 - 1982
Who was Antoine Dougbé? Even the most dedicated crate-digger might go their whole life without stumbling across any of the three LPs he released in the late 1970s and early ’80s. Yet all the musicians who happened to cross paths with him remember him with a mixture of admiration and fear; for Antoine Dougbé was not merely one of the most inventive songwriters to emerge from the fertile music scene of Cotonou, but also a powerful Vodún initiate whose close connection to the spirit world allowed h…
Renaissance
Modern and grounded in the 1960s hard-bop sensibility, the American pianist and composer Albert Dailey (1939 – 1984) had perfect control over his instrument. Since an early age he played with cutting-edge musicians of the likes of Art Blakey, Sarah Vaughan, Stan Getz, Charles Mingus, and Lee Konitz, only to name a few. But despite that, he was an underrated artist during his lifetime, receiving the deserved recognition only after his death. Renaissance 2 November 1977 is his second album, played…
Mystic Suite
Let us take you back. Waaay back. According to early Greek mythology, the three powerful sons of the god Kronos divided up the cosmos after overthrowing their father: Poseidon ruled the sea, Zeus commanded the heavens, and Hades reigned over the underworld. Conversely, this latest offering from the Atlantis Jazz Ensemble completes the group's corresponding trilogy - Oceanic Suite (2016), Celestial Suite (2023), and now Mystic Suite (2026). As you might expect, this Mystic Suite, inspired by Hade…
Ntsano
On Ntsano, Mara & Naná Vasconcelos weave Québécois avant‑garde jazz into Afro‑Brazilian ritual: berimbau, winds and drums circling through slow‑burning themes that feel at once meditative, mysterious and fiercely alive.
Simulacra
A rhythm-driven, analog-leaning record built from hypnotic basslines, warm synth textures, and layered percussion, "Simulacra" is the debut LP from Venetian bassist and producer Eric Demuro, a fully realized studio statement that brings his compositional voice into focus. The album moves through hazy jazz-funk, ambient passages, library psychedelia, and Brazilian rhythmic language without settling into revivalism. Fender Rhodes figures, hand percussion, and vintage keyboards drift through spacio…
Autechre Guitar
This record shouldn’t, strictly speaking, be possible at all.
Play Me
Kim Gordon's third album, 'Play Me,' is distilled and immediate, expanding Gordon’s sonic palette to include more melodic beats and the motorik drive of krautrock. “We wanted the songs to be short,” Gordon says. “We wanted to do it really fast. It’s more focused, and maybe more confident."
The follow-up to 2024’s Justin Raisen-produced, two-time Grammy-nominated 'The Collective' processes, in her inimitable way, the collateral damage of the billionaire class: the demolition of democracy, technoc…
In From The Cold
2026 stock Originally the debut release on Decca's Nova label, this blistering UK psych-blues powerhouse features singer Steve Bailey's raw, hoarse vocals, Ron Bending on bass, Terry Sims on drums, and guitarist Bob Weston (later of Fleetwood Mac) delivering frantic riffs and solos akin to early Spooky Tooth, Leafhound, or Free.
Tracks like the epic 12-minute "Darkness," driving "Going Home," and gritty "Take These Chains" capture turn-of-the-decade intensity with pounding drums and heavy guitar…

Known for their evocative blend of psychedelic jazz, electronic lounge, and ambient exotica, the septet features a rich palette of timbres and improvisational interplay, distinctively shaped by Panfilov's lap steel guitar and space-conscious compositions.
