El-Hadra is more than ambient music - it’s a sonic ritual that leaves a permanent mark on the soul. This album has transformed the way many perceive sound, becoming a personal landmark for countless listeners. Originally recorded in the late 1980s, it fuses elements of Sufi trance with hypnotic tabla rhythms, meditative zither, and deep ambient drone to form a truly transcendent experience. Listening to El-Hadra is like entering a space beyond time - a journey one can take again and again, alway…
Powerful trio music by pianist Takehiro Honda, known for his strong touch and bluesy feeling, together with an American rhythm section. The album features a line up of compelling originals, including the overwhelmingly powerful "Minors Only" and the title track "Salaam Salaam," whose title means “peace” in Swahili.
East Wind was a ground-breaking jazz label established in 1974 through the full cooperation of Ai Music, as it was then known, and Nippon Phonogram, as it was then known. Over a per…

Dark Entries helps Suzanne Ciani come out of the closet as Steve! Legendary composer, sound designer, and Buchla maestra Suzanne Ciani has a staggering list of accolades and accomplishments, from scoring Hollywood films to releasing influential new age records to literally designing the Coca-Cola bottle-opening sound.
In the late 70s/early 80s, Ciani, while living in New York, acquired an Eventide H 949 harmonizer, which offered high fidelity pitch-shifting. In her words, “When I adjusted the pi…
Almost Starlight is the extraordinary new album by Jem Finer (hurdy-gurdy) and John Matthias (violin). Produced by Jay Auborn and recorded in a Medieval Church, deep in the Devon countryside, in the Summer of 2025, the music is suffused with light, heat and the natural acoustics of the space.
The album defies categorisation; forced to pigeon hole it the nearest approximation would be ‘modern-classical’ but this ignores its myriad influences and explorations which encompass inspiration from Arvo …
Originally released by CRI in 1974 and now reissued on vinyl for the first time by Death Is Not The End, Music by Earle Brown is a concise overview of the composer's landmark early experiments with graphic notation, open form structures and magnetic tape.
Long before Spotify algorithmically ruined discovery, Joshua Burkett was wandering the New England underground with nothing but a guitar and enough patience to make tar smells feel like déjà vu. This compilation LP is your time machine back to when "knew someone who knew someone" was the only distribution network you needed.

Buh Records is proud to announce the release of "Cello in My Life", the new album by the renowned Ecuadorian composer Mesías Maiguashca. This deeply personal work reflects an intimate exploration of the relationship between the cello and the artist's life, realized in collaboration with celebrated cellist Gaby Schumacher. The album features six remarkable compositions spanning Maiguashca’s career from 1972 to 2015. Each piece offers a unique perspective on his groundbreaking approach to music, b…
It doesn’t get much more special than this one. The music industry loves throwing around phrases like 'rare as hens' teeth' and 'holy grail', but Ricardo Marrero & The Group’s 1976 album A Taste genuinely earns them. A mythical and elusive release in its original form, for many it’s an unattainable prize in the Discogs wantlist, and one far out of reach financially. Even though it’s already been reissued by other amazing record labels over the years, we really wanted to make a Mr Bongo edition t…
Over the better half of a decade, Time is Away, the London-based duo of Jack Rollo and Elaine Tierney, have made tender and heartfelt transmissions through countless mixes, sound works, live appearances and radio. Exploring deeply human themes of memory, persistence and resistance using an assemblage of source material, the duo’s unique mode of storytelling culminates in Ballads, a new suite of songs and, significantly, their first officially licensed compilation. From the opening notes of Horvi…
Three LPs came out on Jihad, the label Amiri Baraka ran out of his own house in Newark. Two of them - Sonny's Time Now and A Black Mass - entered the canon of the New Thing decades ago. The third stayed a rumour: a title traded between collectors, a track a radio DJ might drop once a year, a record far more people had heard about than heard. Original copies surface rarely and sell for three figures. Black and Beautiful... Soul and Madness is back, on vinyl for the first time since 1968.
Baraka -…
Hardcover, 648 pages, Hardcover! This book looks back on the golden years of the music scene that emerged out of Canterbury, Kent, in the late 1960s, spearheaded by Soft Machine and Caravan and their various offshoots, including Gong, Kevin Ayers and the Whole World, Robert Wyatt's Matching Mole, Hatfield and the North and National Health, and related bands like Egg and Gilgamesh.
Musically at the meeting point between pop, progressive rock, electric jazz and modern classical, it brought togethe…
In their countless years of deep digging, Dark Entries has uncovered many curiosities, oddball Italo and synth-wave creatures too rare to live, too funky to die. Dark Entries’s conservationist efforts began with 2020’s Endangered Species Vol 1. Six years later, we are finally treated Endangered Species Vol 2, an even more ambitious effort which features eleven specimens previously deemed extinct, now safely preserved on vinyl. Things kick off with an extended mix of Palazzo di Danza’s “Play That…
** 2026 restock, long out of print - few copies available ** Here’s an astonishing fact: This album was recorded during John Tchicai’s first and only weeklong residency at a New York jazz club. Tchicai — co-founder of the New York Art Quartet, one of the most innovative bands of the 1960s; member of Albert Ayer's New York Eye and Ear Control; participant in John Coltrane’s Ascension, perhaps the most influential of Coltrane’s late works; practitioner of world music-jazz fusions in bands such as…
*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…
On Waterforest, Yoichi Kamimura turns a multichannel installation into an intimate atlas of water and ice, braiding global field recordings into a quietly immersive study of climate, memory and the act of listening to landscapes.
Naples, 1977. Luciano Cilio's sole recorded work is pure magic - four "quadri" where strings, woodwinds, wordless voices and solitary guitar trace the edges of silence. Closer to Arvo Pärt and Morton Feldman than to any Italian prog, yet entirely its own universe. Music that breathes, suspends time, breaks your heart without raising its voice. Decades ahead of its time. First ever remaster from the original tapes.
Twenty years on, Prurient's Pleasure Ground returns in the edition it always wanted. This is the hinge record in Dominick Fernow's catalogue, the one that opened the electronic chapter of the project: the scorched power-electronics of the early years meeting synth tones, slow doom weight and the meditative cold of Nordic black metal. Recorded in a single day, 14 February 2006, it first surfaced as a self-released double cassette sold at Carlos Giffoni's No Fun Fest in New York, then arrived in s…
*2026 stock* It is the meeting between Marc Hurtado, known for his duo project Étant Donnés created in 1977—French experimental and industrial music—and Mark Cunningham from the New York No Wave scene since the late 1970s, under the entity Mars and compiled by Brian Eno in No New-York. The album Infini was born in 2020 and completed in 2023. This particular project is a kind of 360° astral journey—at the speed of light—carried away by grace, madness, fire, and the kaleidoscopic whirlwind of the …
