Reflections Vol. 3: Water Poems
** Edition of 300. Glacial Blue Vinyl ** On Reflections Vol. 3: Water Poems, Félicia Atkinson and Christina Vantzou channel their friendship and atmospheric artistry into ceremonial focus. Spoken-word environments and orchestral imagination flow like tributaries into a unified stream, resulting in a collection of dreamlike songs and soundscapes anchored in sea, sky and stone. Through electro-acoustic instrumentation, voice, and environmental sound, Water Poems invites listeners into a subconscio…
De Vrije Loop
On De Vrije Loop, Mix Monster Menno raids the entire Ultra Eczema archive, flipping decades of uncompromising noise, improv and oddball electronics into a late‑night, After‑Hours‑style turntablist trip that feels like the label’s unconscious talking in cuts and crackle.
Fables
This is the first widely distributed release for Isabel Pine after a series of self released EP’s and singles on Bandcamp. She studied classical music on viola from the age of 3 through into college, where she was on a path to be a performer in a large ensemble, but eventually left after feeling frustrated and limited in a world that did not provide much of an outlet for individual creativity. But the doors of perception really opened when she moved to British Columbia and was exposed to the raw…
Keine Nichtmusik
How do we listen when we know the human is absent? Neue Deutsche Kunst present a collection of music created for their own films, from Bubblegum Pop (literally - the first track is about Kaugummi), Dada Chanson, sugary Psychedelia, Cartoon Prog, Fake Jazz - documenting a period of Unheimlichkeit in the technological development of humankind. The music was neither composed nor recorded, no soundwaves were moved, no microphones abused. Absurd lyrics speak of non-reality, LSD, violence and revoluti…
Solo I / Solo IV
In the quiet extremities of contemporary composition, few have ventured as far into the territory of disappearance as Jakob Ullmann. This release documents the simultaneous realization of two works from his remarkable series of Solo pieces - compositions that exist somewhere between notation and performance, between instruction and interpretation, hovering at the very threshold of audibility. Begun in the late 1980s as Ullmann sought to depart from strict Western notational conventions, the Solo…
The Creator's Musician
Solo bass albums constitute a rare and demanding genre. The instrument's resonance, its sustain limitations, the absence of harmonic support - all conspire against extended solo statements. Yet Horace Tapscott's longtime bassist approaches the challenge with a structural intelligence that transforms apparent constraints into compositional architecture. Roberto Miranda's arco work on "Evolution On The Life Of Moses" demonstrates a command of overtones and microtonal shadings that recalls the medi…
Morning Flight
Japanese jazz enthusiasts rejoice: the Hiroshi Fukumura Quintet’s landmark 1973 album Morning Flight, originally released on the iconic Three Blind Mice label, is being reissued for a new generation of listeners. This trombone-led masterpiece captures the raw energy and improvisational spirit of early 1970s Japanese jazz, blending free-form exploration with lyrical standards.
Jirai Wo Fundara Sayounara
2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Compilation, Numbered **
Jirai Wo Fundara Sayounara - translating, with characteristic Japanoise black humor, as something close to "Goodbye if you step on a landmine" - is one of the essential compilation documents from the Vanilla Records catalog, gathering the label's core artists into a single tape and offering a compressed portrait of the underground it had quietly built since 1985.
To understand the Vanilla Records compilations is to understand how Ja…
The Day Of The Jackal (Music From The Motion Picture)
In the centenary year of his birth, Quartet Records unveils for the first time the complete score that Georges Delerue composed for Fred Zinnemann's masterful 1973 thriller The Day of the Jackal - a work largely unheard until now, buried beneath the weight of editorial decisions that stripped the film's second half of any musical accompaniment.
Based on Frederick Forsyth's bestselling novel, the film follows a professional assassin hired by disgruntled military veterans to eliminate President Ch…
The Beat of the Earth
Cosmic Rock Records proudly announces the long-awaited reissue of The Beat of the Earth, the ultra-rare debut album from the enigmatic experimental jam band The Beat of the Earth. Formed in 1967 amid the sun-soaked vibes of Orange County, California, this elusive artifact was originally released in minuscule quantities on Radish Records—a obscure private press label that barely scratched the surface of the era's underground scene.
Guided by the visionary Phil Pearlman (later the mastermind behin…
Spirit Groove: Golden Sea Duo in Shenzhen
Big Tip! David Murray emerged in mid-1970s New York at a pivotal moment for jazz. As cultural shifts and urban decay created vacant buildings and low rents, aspiring artists converged on the city from Chicago, California, and St. Louis, drawing inspiration less from the mainstream than from the first thrusts of free jazz—John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor, Sun Ra, Albert Ayler. They established performance spaces in lofts and apartments, downtown storefronts, art galleries, and abandoned warehouses. Mu…

Flamenco Party
2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **
The name means "mercury lamp" - 水銀ランプ - and the industrial implications are entirely intentional.

Flamenco Party, their only recording, was captured live at Shinjuku Ongakukan in April 1991 and released on Vanilla Records the same year - six tracks on a single-sided C62 cassette, number…

Ndikho Xaba And The Natives
*50th Anniversary Remaster* Outstanding!! Matsuli Music presents soul, spirituality and avant-garde jazz from South African political exile Ndikho Xaba. Its rarity has until now served to obscure both its beauty and its historical significance. Making profound links between the struggle against apartheid and the Black Power movement in the USA Ndikho Xaba and the Natives is arguably the most complete and complex South African jazz LP recorded in the USA. It stands out as a critical document in t…
Sounds Heard from the Moon Part 2
** Hand numbered edition of 250 ** There is a profound resonance between the practices of Nam June Paik and Park Jiha - separated by generations yet united by a shared impulse to dissolve boundaries between Korean tradition and contemporary expression. Paik, the pioneer of video art, wove shamanic ritual and Buddhist philosophy into the fabric of technological media; Park Jiha channels ancient instrumental voices through the sensibility of experimental minimalism. Both artists inhabit a liminal …
