Inzovu Y'Imirindi
In the late 1980s, singer Bizimungu Dieudonne, his wife Agnes Uwimbabazi, and a backing band of family and friends self-released a visionary cassette, featuring stuttering electric guitars, loping bass lines, and call and response vocals. Their combo of 80s studio wizardry rooted in traditional Rwandan praise songs resulted in hypnotic, extended jams unlike anything else released in East Africa at the time. The lyrics praised the beauty of the countryside and the exploits of the ancient gods. On…

Hip Harp
*2026 repress!* Born in Detroit in 1932 Dorothy Ashby can be easily recognized as the woman who gave the harp a Jazz voice. In her hands, the harp, an originally classical instrument which seemed to just scare people, became a highly versatile swinging voice able to drive a whole jazz rhythm section. Recorded in 1958 by master Rudy Van Gelder and originally released on the Prestige label, Hip Harp is a perfect example of Ashby’s artistry. At the head of a fine quartet featuring the great Frank …

Paradessence
Paradessence, Visible Cloaks’ third full length, is a work of emergence and illusion. The album’s fourteen songs shift, heave, and shimmer against a faintly luminous backdrop of night, a cavernous space shaped by sparse hyperreal representations of the natural world. The arrangements are simultaneously grandiose and fragile, both an inversion and culmination of what came before and as adventurous as anything they’ve produced so far.Since transforming from Cloaks to Visible Cloaks in 2014, Spence…

Rock För Kropp Och Själ
Expanded Content: Includes a Bonus LP of rare live material from Denmark and Gothenburg. "Rock för kropp och själ" stands as the final, definitve statement from Träd, Gräs och Stenar during their original tenure with the legendary Silence label. By 1972, the band had reached a breaking point. After five years of relentless touring - defined by marathon three-to-four-hour performances delivered four or five nights a week - the collective was physically and creatively spent. The weight of expectat…

Songs of Compassion
*300 copies limited edition* "Songs of Compassion" is a project by United States of Alchemy, bringing together Dorothy Moskowitz, Francesco Paolo Paladino and Luca Chino Ferrari in a musical landscape that moves between psychedelic balladry, chamber music and delicate electronic soundscapes. The album explores the shades of night and the subtle vibrations of an almost intangible emotional dimension, where music seems to arise from inner listening rather than from conventional compositional struc…
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.”
Growers Of Mushroom
Emerging from the fevered crossroads of late‑1960s psychedelia and early heavy rock, Leaf Hound’s debut album Growers of Mushroom stands as a raw, unforgettable statement of power, groove and atmosphere. First issued in 1970 as Leaf Hound by Telefunken in Germany and reissued in the UK in 1971 by Decca under the title Growers of Mushroom, this singular record captures the original band line‑up at their fiercest and most imaginative — and remains a cornerstone for generations of heavy, psychedeli…

Nonaah
On Nonaah, Roscoe Mitchell turns the alto saxophone into a fault line, setting stark solos, prickly duets and dense small‑group pieces against one another to test how far a single composition and a single sound can be stretched.
Departures
Don Shinn’s Departures, first issued in 1969 and recorded at Lansdowne Studios in London just months after his acclaimed debut, returns in a newly remastered edition that highlights the record’s adventurous spirit and Shinn’s singular command of the Hammond organ. Where his debut established him as a rising force, Departures reveals a more overtly jazzy, exploratory side — muscular, unpredictable and deeply musical — that helped influence a generation of keyboardists, including the young Keith E…
Chance Operation
First-ever reissue of Chance Operation's self-titled 1981 debut 12-inch on Jeep Records. A foundational document of Japanese avant-funk and post-punk that captures the Higo Hiroshi-led project at the moment of its formation.
Reference: Marion Brown Capricorn Moon Why Not? & With Burton Greene Quartet
The rhythm team by Rashied Ali and Reggie Johnson (with former Sun Ra member Ronnie Boykins adding texture on "Capricorn Moon") establishes a solid foundation, complemented by Alan Shorter's sharp trumpet, while Benny Maupin's close expressions in monophonic form also support it. The fact that pianist Burt Green recorded an almost unnoticed ESP album (just a month later) with Brown as a sideman illustrates how fluid and negotiable musical activities were within this nascent community.
Although R…
