Black & Beautiful / Soul & Madness
Originally released in New York in 1968 on Baraka's own Jihad label, "Black and Beautiful Soule and madness" is a fiery document of the 1960s. It could be mistaken for a lost ESP-Disk release, sitting well between Sun Ra / the Fugs/ and Albert Ayler. The group was vocal in all the ways; sometimes singing, Doo-wop & Soul, sometimes rapping in a Last Poets-style, often doing both at the same time. Emotionally compelling and extremely powerful,we are proud to have it back in print on vinyl for the …
Postcards
Gen Ken Montgomery ran a tiny record shop and sound art gallery called Generator in downtown New York — one of the first such spaces in the city — and it was from here that his practice took shape. A self-taught autodidact with no formal training in music or art, Montgomery built his first tape in 1981, Gen Ken and Equipment (150 copies), from cheap synthesizers, toy instruments, household gadgetry, and electric machines: an ice crusher named Icebreaker, an aquarium pump, a refrigerator, a shoe-…
Exuma II
Exuma returns with Exuma II, the hypnotic follow-up that deepens the spellbinding fusion of Bahamian folk traditions, mystical storytelling, and raw, soulful performance. First released in 1970 on Mercury Records, Exuma II expands the singular vision that introduced the world to Exuma’s otherworldly sound earlier that year.
On Exuma II, the artist refines the eccentric, ritualistic atmosphere of his debut while offering moments of greater restraint and melodic clarity. Where the first album dazz…

Black Orpheus
The legendary Isao Suzuki Trio's iconic 1976 album Black Orpheus, a cornerstone of Japanese jazz, receives a stunning 180g vinyl reissue, bringing its soulful modal and soul-jazz grooves back to life for a new generation of listeners.

All the Numbers
On All the Numbers, Lester Bowie’s first sessions as a leader catch the future Art Ensemble core in 1967 workshop mode, running multiple takes of two pieces that keep splintering into different shapes, energies and internal logics.
Open Sky Unit
Open Sky Unit capture a warm‑blooded corner of 1970s Belgian jazz where a family of musicians stretches soul songs into jazz‑funk sermons, turning a small Liège club into a glowing, rough‑edged sanctuary.
Interview with a Cat
On Interview with a Cat, Marcel Broodthaers turns a deadpan Q&A with a meowing interlocutor into a razor‑sharp miniature of conceptual art: a five‑minute 1970 audio piece where questions about painting, markets and museums collapse into one insistent “miaow.”
Sketch Of My Life
The first-ever reissue on Studio Mule of the debut album by Japanese jazz legend and bassist Yoshio Ikeda. Having performed with such illustrious figures as Sadao Watanabe, Masabumi Kikuchi, and Terumasa Hino, Ikeda’s first album as a leader features pianist and vocalist Ichiko Hashimoto—also known for her involvement with YMO—Berlin-based jazz pianist Aki Takase, and leading Japanese drummer Motohiko Hino.
Avant-garde yet imbued with a distinctly Japanese sense of melancholy, this is a work tha…
Sounds While Waiting
Sounds While Waiting documents the latest organ works by composer and musician Ellen Arkbro – following her phenomenal debut, 2017's For Organ And Brass, and the more recent Chords. Recorded at a centuries-old church in Unnaryd, Sweden in June 2020, these pieces reveal the enchanting qualities of sustained harmonic sound, how patterns of listening dissolve and emerge as textured space. On opening track "Changes," long radiant tones ebb and flow like divine breaths, while "Leaving Dreaming" build…

CAM Sugar is proud to announce the definitive release of the original soundtrack composed by Ennio Morricone for Il clan dei siciliani (The Sicilian Clan) by Henri Verneuil (1969), one of the most celebrated European noir films of the late 1960s, starring Jean Gabin, Alain Delon, and Lino Ventura.

Bidule 2.0
On Bidule 2.0, eRikm tunnels into a cache of unheard Pierre Henry tapes, feeding analog “sound objects” from 1950–1974 through his custom digital apparatus to forge a dense, flickering work where early musique concrète and present‑tense signal processing fold into one another.
The Disintegration Loops
Since the turn of this century, perhaps no other modern composition has had a more resonant healing effect than The Disintegration Loops. Composer William Basinski’s deteriorating analog tape loops evolved from melodic symphonies to melancholic silence over a span of time that uncannily turned passing minutes into pensive lifetimes. In her foreword for the new box set reissue of The Disintegration Loops, the pioneering multimedia storyteller, Laurie Anderson, describes the impact of this transfo…

Three centur…
Experimente
Dive back into the primal heart of Krautrock with Amon Düül's "Experimente", a stunning collection of rare and obscure live material excavated from the same incendiary late '60s sessions that birthed their legendary debut Psychedelic Underground. This previously unreleased treasure captures the band's unbridled spontaneity, delivering a sonic assault that's as hypnotic as it is feral.
Amon Düül's jam sessions on Experimente are pure, unfiltered ritual – predominantly instrumental eruptions domin…
Flare
On Flare, Sylvia Lim turns six chamber works into a series of luminous close‑ups, magnifying tiny shifts of timbre, breath and touch until fragile sounds bloom into something cathartic, raw and quietly destabilising.
fold/interval
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* fold/interval is an audiovisual project and publishing and curatorial platform founded by Giuseppe Ielasi, Fabio Perletta and Giulia Bruno. This is their first release. Thirty minutes of guitar and electronics duos with a 12-page photo booklet and a letterpress sleeve.
Dogon A.D.
One of the most important jazz albums of the 1970s - finally on vinyl in its definitive edition. Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. is the missing link between the avant-garde and the blues, between the cotton fields and outer space. Recorded on a freezing February day in 1972 at Oliver Sain's Archway Studios in St. Louis - no heat, malfunctioning equipment, some musicians didn't even show up - and yet what emerged was nothing short of a masterpiece. An "almost accidental classic" that has haunted col…
