Psychedelic Underground
Temporary reduced price. LP version. 180 gram vinyl, gatefold sleeve. The debut album from the original Amon Düül commune collective, released in 1969, stands as one of the most radical and uncompromising documents of the entire German underground scene. This is not Amon Düül II - this is the larger, more chaotic collective that spawned the more structured offshoot, and Psychedelic Underground captures their approach in all its raw, untamed glory.
Recorded in a single marathon session, the albu…

Arcaico Armonico
Like many of my generation, grew up in an age where the Internet did not exist and there were few sources of information, especially those inherent to the new music, I discovered Lino through his participation in one of the most daring musical pro- jects, the magnificents Aktuala, new band that released three great albums in the early ‘70s, full of innate grace, where Walter Maioli, Lino Vaccina and their cronies tended mystical and astral plots about warps of music and sounds extracted from the…

A detailed look at the elusive work of a French pioneer of musique concrète and electroacoustic composition Eliane Radigue
Cantus for Winter in Six Parts
zakè’s deep attachment to the seasons of the Midwest, along with his intuitive approach to sound creation, has led to a deep and varied body of analog ambient drone recordings across the past ten years. Many of his albums take on the forms and colors of the space in which they are heard, but others convey something more fleeting and indefinable, far beyond the five senses. Cantus for Winter in Six Parts creates a space for comfort, contemplation, nostalgia, and longing; a moment of stillness tha…
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.

Orion Music Versions
Tip! Tip! Tip! Just after the summer post-rock madness of “The Window” in their band HWYUIOD, Shelter & Orion are back with dub versions of Orion Music Workshop’s previous records. Deconstructed or reconstructed in an industrial, post-punk aesthetic, recalling whole On-U Sound golden age (Adrian Sherwood, Mark Stewart, African Head Charge…) as well as Craig Leon, Sheriff Lindo… and more.
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…

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…
Heliogram
*125 copies limited edition* Heliogram is a limited edition book/flexi disc that combines field recordings made by Robin Watkins and a series of risograph prints by Nina Canell.

For this project, Robin Watkins used a portable device to modulate energy within the audible range, capturing a stream of humming harmonics in real time. Locating low-frequency a…
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.
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.
