Nude per l'assassino
Tip! Tip! Tip! We are incredibly excited to announce a landmark discovery and upcoming release that will be a must-have for collectors and fans of Italian film scores. After decades of being considered a lost artifact, the original soundtrack for the iconic 1975 giallo film, Nude per l'assassino (Strip Nude for Your Killer), has been found. This marks its first-ever official release, presented in a lavish vinyl edition that includes a 30x60cm poster and has been meticulously remastered from the …
Outermost Melodies
Ian Antonio discovered Jürg Frey via algorithm. About 15 years ago, SoundCloud kept leading him to the same piece, maybe Circular Music No. 2. "I wouldn't notice the piece starting but then realize I was in fact listening to it closely," he recalls. "The stillness and closeness and warmth were somewhat new to me." At the time, Antonio played "a lot of very loud and often very fast music" with groups like Wet Ink, Talujon, Zs, and Yarn/Wire. Frey's music was "very much the opposite."

Sakura
With Sakura, Susumu Yokota unveiled an ambient masterpiece that blends sampled fragments of jazz, minimalism, and Japanese melody into a contemplative whole. Released in 1999 on Skintone and later on The Leaf Label, the album turns repetition into poetry, infusing electronic textures with a deep human warmth.
Peace Chant Vol. 8 (More Private Jazz From Germany 1974-1986)
The term “private” is used quite liberally in the promotion of rare groove compilations these days. The team at Tramp Records tends to be rather defensive when it comes to such terms. Although, and this should not be misunderstood as arrogance, label boss Tobias Kirmayer & his crew have been doing nothing else for 22 years, strictly speaking. Every compilation series from the Upper Bavarian label, be it the “Movements,” “Feeling Nice,” “Praise Poems,” or “Can You Feel It” series, specializes in …
A Mountain Sees a Mountain
A Mountain Sees a Mountain, the new duo recording by Hamid Drake and Pat Thomas, captures two master improvisers engaged in an intimate yet expansive dialogue. Released in October 2025 via Old Heaven Books, the album bridges African rhythmic philosophy and European avant-piano traditions, achieving a deep equilibrium between motion, meditation, and melodic abstraction.
Commenti Musicali: Thrilling vol.2
Commenti Musicali: Thrilling Vol.2 presents a mosaic of Italian library music at its most eccentric: electronic soundscapes, krautrock inflections, and ambient dread. The compilation unearths rare, atmospheric pieces from the early 1980s, conjuring wired tension and spectral cinematic drama from the Contempo vaults.
Hlaholika
With Hlaholika, Adrian Democ offers a collection of chamber pieces unified by a focus on stillness and the unhurried unfolding of sound. Rather than chasing after overt drama, Democ’s writing reveals itself through the subtle layering of sonorities and stark, melodic lines, letting each instrument’s character shine. Apartment House brings sensitivity and patience to these recordings, allowing the music’s quiet radiance to emerge organically, rather than by force.
The album opens with “Ma fin est…
Broselmaschine
Temporary reduced price. The self-titled debut from Bröselmaschine, originally released on Pilz in 1971, stands as one of the most distinctive statements in the entire Krautrock canon. This recent reissue captures the band's remarkable fusion of acoustic folk traditions with electric experimentation - a sound that emerged from the fertile German underground scene but carved its own unique path.
Led by guitarist Peter Bursch (who would later become a legendary figure in German folk music), the gr…
Live At Charlie's Tap
NoBusiness Records proudly presents Live at Charlie's Tap, a mesmerizing live album from the Bobby Naughton Trio that captures the raw, improvisational spirit of jazz in an intimate club setting. Recorded live at the renowned Charlie’s Tap, this release showcases the trio’s exceptional chemistry and profound musical dialogue. Bobby Naughton’s inventive vibraphone melodies intertwine seamlessly with the dynamic interplay of bass and drums, creating an immersive experience that transports listener…
Sabiha Sabiya
** Special mirroring/holographic cover. Edition of 300 copies ** On the same path as Baraka, Klaus Wiese (Popol Vuh) continues his intimate spiritual journey into healing and cosmic drone music. Like its predecessor, this work originally appeared on tape for Aquamarin Verlag (1982). Sabiya means bright, shining, an oriental wind that suggests feminine power; Sabiha is therefore she who manifests beauty and grace. Shaheena is indicative of gentle and soft, while Shahira embodies and represents t…
Mikko
*2021 reissue with obi and insert* Truly a Japanese psychedelic female acid-folk masterpiece. Released on July 25th, 1976, Mikkô was Sai Yoshiko's second album, a wonderful acid-folk album on which she gets assisted by a string of big name musicians such as Kuni Kawauchi (of the Happenings Four, amongst others) to arrange the songs. Mikkô features Sai's original songs, making it her first real complete album. At times the disc draws in Middle Eastern influences (sitar and tabla), but once she ge…
New Species
Acclaimed jazz artists Lao Dan and Vasco Trilla join forces on New Species, an album that pushes the boundaries of modern jazz with inventive compositions and masterful improvisation. Blending elements of traditional jazz with contemporary influences, this collaboration offers a compelling journey through intricate melodies and dynamic rhythms.
New Species showcases Dan Lao’s versatility on saxophone and woodwinds, paired with Vasco Trilla’s innovative approach to drums. Together, they create a …
Spiral Insana
Limited and numbered edition of 1000 copies on black vinyl. Probably one of Nurse With Wounds most deep and mysterious recordings, with 4 indexed tracks containing 20 listed sequences. Such is Steven Stapleton's Nurse With Wound. The music contained here in, still having it's surreal edge, is more ambient and user friendly than on many other Nurse With Wound outings. Stapleton and guests, Robert Haigh and David Jackman mix prepared piano, percussion, loops and various bric a brac together int…
In the Depth of Illusion: A Soundtrack for Nervous Magic Lantern
"Ken Jacobs, an essential figure of avant-garde cinema, and I had over-a-decade-long collaboration. We first performed fo his Nervous Magic Lantern project at the Argos Festival in Brussels in 2007. Before flying to Europe, Ken invited me to the top-floor loft on Chambers Street in TriBeCa, where Ken and his wife, Flo, have lived and worked since 1965, to experience a private screening. He turned on the apparatus and the image flashed onto the screen: geometric patterns — something of a Rorschac…
Round Sky
Round Sky brings together Léo Dupleix and Asterales in an exploration of just intonation and radiant calm. The album’s three compositions subtly merge analogue synthesizer, harpsichord, spinet, bass, flute, and guitar in landscapes of nuanced minimalism. Methodical in structure yet alive to spontaneous beauty, the record unfolds as a quietly luminous meditation on the complexities of harmony and texture.
Model Express
Cindy Lee, the performance and songwriting vehicle of Canadian artist Patrick Flegel (who fronted influential indie group Women earlier), previously stunned listeners with Act Of Tenderness, a heart-wrenching statement informed by the noirish core of celebrity, and has continued to enchant with every album, including the startling What's Tonight To Eternity released earlier this year.
Model Express originally appeared as a self-released edition of 100 gold cassettes. The arch, filmic drama of Ci…
Back In The HCA
*2025 stock. 150 copies limited edition* In 1972, four design students at the now defunct Hornsey College of Art (HCA) in London decided to make a record; neither the result of nascent dreams of stardom nor of fastidiously developed musi-cianship. Bowes Road Band’s sole LP was simply the result of an impulse to create. With only fifty copies originally pressed, the LP’s Berlin flea market discovery revealed a foray into a delicately balanced world of psycho-trip meltdowns, rich jazz improvisatio…
Spilla
Black Truffle is thrilled to announce Spilla, the second album from Nantes-based Ensemble Nist-Nah, 48 minutes of music for Gamelan, drum kits, wood and metal percussion instruments, and plucked strings that will surely count as one of the most electrifying records you hear this year. Founded by the Australian drummer/percussionist Will Guthrie in 2019, continuing the explorations begun in solo form on Nist-Nah (Black Truffle, 2020), the ensemble (eight or nine core members with occasional guest…
7 Stücke / 1998
*300 copies limited edition* The open spaces in East Berlin that emerged for a handful of years in the 1990s, after the fall of the Berlin wall, have shown to be a fertile ground for musical and artistic experimentators to develop their play and showcase their findings, and to work together in ways that would have been impossible anywhere else. In retrospect, the reductionist brand of improvisation that has become known as Echtzeitmusik (real-time music) seems to overshadow other achievements, t…
