Unreleased & Rarities (1972-2002)
Transversales Disques presents Unreleased & Rarities, a revelatory collection spanning 1972-2002 by electronic music pioneer Jean Schwarz - thirty years of secret compositions from one of the Groupe de Recherches Musicales (GRM) most dedicated yet overlooked figures. Schwarz occupied a unique position in the world of electroacoustic music, serving simultaneously as an engineer at the CNRS in the Ethnomusicology Department of the Musée de l'Homme in Paris and as a core member of the legendary GRM…
MMXX-09
The name Karbé Dinel may not be immediately familiar to even dedicated followers of experimental music, but this mysterious artist delivers a contribution to the MMXX series that stands proudly alongside the more celebrated names in the roster. Indeed, part of the pleasure of a curated series like this lies in the discoveries, the artists whose work might otherwise have escaped attention but who reveal themselves, given the platform, as fully formed creative voices with something essential to of…
Antología 2 : Obras para la Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos
Buh Records presents Anthology 2: Works for the Experimental Orchestra of Native Instruments, a double album that deepens the exploration of the work of Bolivian composer Cergio Prudencio (La Paz, 1955) and his inseparable bond with the Experimental Orchestra of Native Instruments (OEIN), the project he co-founded in 1980 and of which he is now emeritus director. Like Anthology 1, widely praised by the international music press, this second installment continues to reveal the conceptual, aesthet…
Przygody
The title of Staś Czekalski’s debut translates as ‘Adventures’. It’s fitting for an album that invokes feelings of exploring, roaming, ambling through bustling cities and changing seasons, around castles and swaying fields, down the pixelated paths of old computer games, and all the way home. We get the sense of being on some carefree yet critical quest, with Staś taking on the role of narrator as much as composer. Part fable, part Moomins, part seek and you shall find, these boppy, wide-eyed an…
Der Ferne
On 'Der Ferne', Phil Struck intricately weaves an abstract tapestry of textures, incorporating elements reminiscent of Hassellian-like sounds and multi-textured dubby soundscapes, a testament to the musician's getaways from urban life, journeying in the heart of nature. The music's warm and concise amalgamation of audio fragments lends it an ineffable quality, evoking hazy, sun-drenched memories, while the radiating reminiscences of the natural world invite contemplation of its true essence, rem…
Brand X Box Set
Rarities and archival treasures spanning the entire Brand X trajectory - from their earliest unreleased sessions to the final contractual obligation album - plus one of the most unjustly obscure progressive rock albums of the late 70s. A goldmine for admirers of Percy Jones, John Goodsall, and the whole Canterbury-adjacent fusion scene.
Brand X needs no introduction to fusion aficionados. Formed in 1974 by Collins, fretless bass virtuoso Percy Jones, keyboardist Robin Lumley and guitarist John G…
Percussion Bitter Sweet
August 1961. Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. Max Roach - the man who reinvented jazz drumming alongside Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie in the 1940s, the co-leader with Clifford Brown of the definitive hard bop quintet until tragedy struck in 1956 - enters the studio with something to say. Something that cannot wait. Something that demands a new language.
The year before, Roach had recorded We Insist! Freedom Now Suite for Candid Records, a searing response to the Civil Right…
New Morning
Collective interplay is essentially about listening and giving space. If ever there was a credo for this ensemble recording, this would be it. Sometimes the soloist or a small group steps forward, other times they play as a large unit. This collective of musicians are connected through old and new friendships, a set of relations that has been formed through two decades of co-creation on stage and in the studio, and their new recording is a reaffirmation of that with an A-side of free improvisati…
Stockholm Elektronmusikfestival 1982
Original LP from 1982. "Since 1979, the Swedish Radio Company and the Stockholm Electronic Music Studio (EMS) have arranged an annual 3-day Stockholm Electonic Musik Festival. It's purpose is to present a sample of the electronic music being composed in different parts of the world. This record contains four works from the 1980 festival - two are Swedish and two are international; two are for tape and two combine tape with live performance." Lars-Gunnar Bodin: Epilogue; rhapsodie de la seconde r…
Patto

Featuring Mike Patto, Ollie Halsall (one of rock's great "guitarist's guitarists"), Clive Griffiths, and John Halsey, this is their 1970 debut for Vertigo. Comes in original gatefold artwork in textured sleeve. Features stereo mixes and mastering by Prof. Stoned. Includes insert with detailed liner notes by Ralph Heibutzki an…
Hold Your Fire
Rising from the ashes of Timebox, Patto delivered a bold fusion of progressive rock, jazz, and blues powered by Mike Patto's soulful vocals and Ollie Halsall's stunning guitar work. Their second album, Hold Your Fire (1971), originally on Vertigo, is a true gem of early '70s progressive rock. Comes with original artwork in gimmix gatefold sleeve. Remastered by Prof. Stoned. Includes insert with detailed liner notes by Ralph Heibutzki and rare photos/memorabilia.
Audiocide ’95
30th Anniversary reissue for this milestone of italian Noise originally released by Slaughter Productions. ''The reason''. Comes in a black plastic bag with a sticker and a cardboard insert.
Non-Linear
Sissy Spacek’s Non-Linear detonates the idea of narrative from within, stitching decades of raw sessions and volatile improvisations into a panoramic fever-dream. Restlessly shape-shifting, the album spirals through states of collapse and acceleration, refusing to settle - a radical archive of noise at its most ungovernable.
Murasaki
A powerful intergenerational trio emerges on Murasaki, featuring Wadada Leo Smith on trumpet, Marcus Gilmore on drums, and Jakob Bro on guitar. Recorded at Power Station (formerly Avatar Studios) in New York, this exploratory session unfolded spontaneously—no retakes, no discussions, just a shared musical language rooted in intuition and trust. “It felt as though this music already existed before we started playing,” Bro reflects. Murasaki captures the creative summit of three visionary artists,…

Control
"Control was created during a phase of Schnitzler's work in which his friendship with Peter Baumann (formerly of Tangerine Dream) allowed him to try out and use new electronic sound generators and peripheral technologies. He never used these innovations merely for their own sake, but always put them at the service of his artistic flair for experimentation. His signature style is clearly recognizable on Control.
The album seems to be a kind of compilation of different musical approaches. Tracks 5…
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…
