Guitarist Masayuki "Jojo" Takayanagi (1932-1991) was a towering leader in the Japanese jazz world.

In front of the 3,000 plus audience, Takayanagi and company had their most rad…

Jashumon
More Japanese lysergic madness ! The 1972 soundtrack for Shuji Terayama's visionary movie of the same name contains all the elements necessary to reach composer & theatre producer J.A. Caesar's intended pleasure-centers. Disturbing, but in the end truly innovative, this soundtrack is as certified gateway to the underworld in the vein of classic by Faust, Cosmic Jokers or early Amon Düül.
"This mighty soundtrack for Shuji Terayama's nihilistic movie of the same name contains all the elements nec…
Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse
Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse by Eugene McDaniels is a singular statement of early-70s soul dissent, bridging the realms of jazz, funk, and political activism. With inventive musicianship and lyrics addressing injustice, colonialism, and resistance, the album remains a powerful, relevant artifact, both musically adventurous and unflinching in its message.

Live at Widney High December 26th, 1971
On a Sunday in the early 70s in South LA, you could easily find yourself standing in a high school auditorium, watching Horace Tapscott conduct the Pan Afrikan Peoples Arkestra as they poured out music like a benediction. No tickets, no VIP list—just the community, gathered. This was music as civic duty, as spiritual practice, as revolution by other means. Live at Widney High December 26th, 1971 captures one such afternoon, previously unreleased and now arriving like a dispatch from a parallel u…
いっかいこっきりの「日向ぼっこの空間」/ Only Just Once, Space in the sun
2026 stock Space in the Sun was one of Akio Suzuki’s major sound projects, a unique construction completed in 1988 and located on the merdian line, which took around 18 months to build. Its purpose was to allow Suzuki to spend one day, on the autumnal equinox, purifying his sense of hearing in nature. This release comprises a 44 page book containing plans and materials from the time alongside texts, and two CDs of environmental recordings created on site at Space in the Sun. To date only tiny fr…
Electronic Music
On Electronic Music, Pär Lindgren turns the studio into a charged, architectural space: three acerbic, abstract works where voltage, noise and spectral residue are shaped into disorienting landscapes with no obvious landmarks, only shifting fields of tension.
Text-Sound Compositions
On Text-Sound Compositions, Sten Hanson distils his radical vocal practice into a suite of works where language is shredded, stretched and reassembled. Breath, syllable and tape splice replace melody, turning the voice into an instrument of pure sonic and political pressure.
Music from the Caucasus – The Archive of ORED Recordings, 2013–2023
The label Ored Recordings was founded in 2013 by Circassian friends and fellow musicians Bulat Khalilov and Timur Kodzoko, in order to start an activity which is dedicated to documenting and preserving the traditional and post-traditional music of the North Caucasus. Khalilov and Kodzoko, were just as excited about this music as it sounded like a force that transcends borders and in which time dissolves and community becomes the only compass. Through hundreds of field recordings, which have been…
Prehistory
Some 42 years after its initial release, Circle X’s Prehistory returns to the vinyl format. New listeners to this music will discover, in addition to the roiling compulsion in its odd, dance-damaged clockwork and instinctive joining of feral and aestheticized values, a refined understanding of the width andbreadth of “post-punk” music, both in and out of its time. In and out of time, Circle X operated between 1978 and 1995, formed in Louisville, KY, but existing largely as a New York-based colle…
Un peu de l'âme des bandits
A pinnacle of the Rock In Opposition movement. Second and final album from Belgian avant-rock pioneers Aksak Maboul, recorded with ex-Henry Cow members Fred Frith and Chris Cutler. More intense and experimental than their playful 1977 debut Onze Danses Pour Combattre la Migraine, yet no less unpredictable. Reached #3 in NME's top ten European albums of 1980, after Yello and The Nits, before Steve Reich and Faust.
Marc Hollander founded Crammed Discs specifically to release this record - the labe…
Live in Kallio
On Live in Kallio, Markus Holkko Quartet turns a Helsinki neighborhood into a pressure chamber of color and rhythm, blending proggy contours, retro-fusion heat and modern Nordic lyricism into long-form live explorations that feel both heady and immediate, cerebral yet unafraid to let the groove bite.

Fernande, Cecile
After a series of experiments and scores, Natasha Pirard returns with her most intuitive and personal project yet. Turning inward, she dedicates the work to her mother and late grandmother, whose caring presence shaped her life. A photobook of songs rustling through delicate pages of memory—the album weaves her voice, field recordings, synthesizer, and violin into an ode to the lasting influence of her matrilineal line. Fernande, Cecile reflects on these two women: Pirard lost her grandmother at…

Originally conceived as a “Walkman‑suitable” work, Glassworks was designed for intimate, personal listening on cassette, with a special headphone‑oriented mix that brought listeners deep inside Glass’s intricate, pulsing sound world. The album’s six short, vividly con…

Complete Studio Albums Box Set
The complete studio works of one of the most uncompromising groups in the history of European avant-rock. Born from the ashes of Henry Cow in 1978, Art Bears distilled the political fury and musical adventurism of their parent band into three albums of dark, brilliant songs that remain as bracing and relevant today as when they were recorded.
The story begins with a schism. During sessions for what was intended as a Henry Cow album, disagreements arose over content - Fred Frith and Chris Cutler …
