The Ipcress File
Quartet Records presents its fifth newly recorded release of a classic film score, and its third devoted to the music of John Barry, following Séance on a Wet Afternoon and the three television films starring Katharine Hepburn. The unforgettable music of this five-time Oscar-winning composer continues to be celebrated around the world, and the impact of his innovative scores for dozens of films from the 1960s through the ’90s still reverberates today. The Ipcress File, directed by Sidney J. Furi…
The Old Gods
*323 copies limited edition* "Joseph Allred makes music that manages to feel sacred and at the same time is filled with sweat and muscle that's fully rooted to this physical realm. Uplifting and dare I say, ass kicking. The man can put a stringed instrument through its paces." — John Schoen
"The impetus for this album came while I was sitting in a cave near my house, ruminating on very old things. The title has to do with my own interest in history and rootedness, but it also acknowledges a futi…
African Skies
Vinyl Pre-Order repress: African Skies restock ships late-March. Limited edition 180g vinyl. Stoughton tip-on gatefold jacket. Restored artwork + previously unseen family photos. In 1993, when Chicago's Adler Planetarium commissioned Kelan Phil Cohran to score their "African Skies" program, they tapped into a mind that moved effortlessly between galaxies and neighborhoods, between ancestral rhythm and modern invention. Three decades later, Listening Position presents the first official reissue o…
Introspection
Brazilian guitar music has a way of folding the whole century into a single instrument, and few players carried more of it in their hands than Luiz Bonfá. Most listeners know him through the songs he wrote for Orfeu Negro, the ones that helped carry bossa nova out of Rio and across the world. Introspection, cut for RCA in 1972, is the quieter counterweight to that fame: eight original pieces for solo guitar, recorded at a moment when Bonfá had stopped chasing the hit and turned inward.
Sonic rivers
Tzadik introduces its new Spectrum series with a very special and exciting new group featuring three of the most creative wind players in new music. Friends and colleagues since the ’70s, these three musicians share a vision of improvisation and composition that is unique, virtuosic and cooperative. Performing compositions and collective improvisations, they sculpt sound and silence with masterly assurance. Surprising yet completely inevitable, this is an essential document of improvisational mu…
Caveman
Caveman is a document of Stamou's live practice: two complete extracts of solo improvised performances using his 'portable electroacoustic studio'. The setup combines acoustic instruments (prepared zither, reeds, recorders, objects) with handmade electronics, modular synthesis and live-processed feedback loops, producing long continuous pieces built on sustained tonal textures and free improvised solos. What the artist calls ritual noise: a slow-burning, immersive electroacoustic atmosphere.
Brandstichters & Oplichters
May this raw and vivid poem by ‘Manfred Tragil’ sketch the absurd picture of our European tour with Liam Grant. As Liam went further down the road, we were invited for a two-day residency with Tashi Dorji at ‘Dropa House’ - the new project of Koen Vandenhoudt & Christel Kumpen. This record contains our opening duo-set for the first night of that residency and was recorded live by Koen Vandenhoudt & Yves Demey. All the sounds contained in this record are 100% improvised - with a little help from …
Himba Hymn - Ghosts Of Namibia's Skeleton Coast
For more than two decades, Sublime Frequencies has stood among the most singular voices in the documentation of music from communities and geographies underserved by the global record industry. Their latest, Himba Hymn: Ghosts Of Namibia's Skeleton Coast, presents recordings made on location with Himba musicians in the Namib desert of northwest Namibia, produced and recorded by Ian Brennan, with photography by Marilena Umuhoza Delli. Issued in a limited edition LP of 500 copies, it joins the imp…
The Forgotten Generation / Dom Kallar Oss Mods
Rediscover a defining moment of Scandinavian underground rock with the vinyl reissue of Lea Riders Group's 1968 single 'The Forgotten Generation' b/w 'Dom Kallar Oss Mods' - a raw and uncompromising snapshot of youth culture at the edge. Emerging from Sweden's vibrant mid-60s scene, Lea Riders Group built their reputation on a fusion of British R&B, garage rock and proto-psychedelia.
Master of Dragons
On Master of Dragons, Jim Kirkwood summons one of his most cinematic visions: sweeping synth fanfares, brooding drones and neo‑medieval melodies unfurl a lone‑hero saga in sound, where wyrms, ruins and prophecy coil through a perpetually storm‑lit sky.
The Rest Is My Ghost
Nostalgia is not an ideology, though in this moment, we could be mistaken for thinking it might be just that. Over the past years, the idea of nostalgia has been filtered through various political and technological lenses and has become a tool used for forgetting, rather than remembering. Instead of embracing histories’ complexities and inconsistencies, this version of nostalgia seeks only singular recollection. This contemporary phenomenon of nostalgia has become a methodology at best, and a we…
Vol.1
Two masked creatures from Saguenay, Quebec, who communicate only in guttural alien grunts, have managed to become the most talked-about band on the planet - and the funniest part is that nobody can explain exactly why. Maybe because Angine De Poitrine - Khn de Poitrine on a custom-built double-neck microtonal guitar/bass with loop pedals, Klek de Poitrine on drums and percussion - are simply too good to ignore. Behind the papier-mâché masks, the polka-dot costumes and the pyramid hand signs lies…
Geogaddi
Tip! "Let's talk about what makes Geogaddi different. The first thing that comes to mind is the shift in mood from the previous Boards of Canada albums. While the band continues to traffic in childhood and nostalgia, the atmosphere on this album is a shade darker than on previous releases, and comparatively tense with a noticeable thread of paranoia. Boards of Canada have always had a disorienting cast to their music, in part because of their proclivity for the quivery modulation of their analo…
Fifth Pipe Dream – Volume I
Conceived by legendary (and controversial) producer Matthew Katz, Fifth Pipe Dream – Volume I is a groundbreaking psychedelic album from 1968 that blurs the line between compilation and concept record. Featuring a rotating cast of Katz’s San Francisco Sound artists, it encapsulates the creativity and experimental spirit of the Bay Area at its lysergic peak. Rather than a traditional various-artists compilation, Fifth Pipe Dream was designed as a unified listening experience—multiple bands contr…
Love Walked In
There is a particular kind of record that only happens when a visiting player drops into a local scene and everyone raises their game. Love Walked In is one of those. For a short run of dates in 2024 the New York pianist Michael Kanan joined the Leeds trio of Alex Fisher, Simon Henry and Elliot Roffe, and the group carried that chemistry into a small hillside studio above Keighley, in West Yorkshire, to commit it to tape. The result is a single, unrepeatable meeting of veteran New York swing and…
Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millenium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors!
Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents. Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping …
Karakoz
Mai Mai Mai’s artistic path has never rested on laurels, it’s been a constant evolution, a profound and poetic research, a dark and dusty journey through awareness and collaborations where the heart of the process has always been about building connections and understanding people and their rituals. Mai Mai Mai’s new album ‘Karakoz’ was mostly recorded in Palestine (Ramallah and Bethlehem) in 2024 during an ongoing genocide and follows his acclaimed Southern Gothic double-album ‘Rimorso’. The al…
Psywarfare / Rythmicshit
*60 copies limited edition* Noise legend Psywarfare teams up with the raw industrial force of Rythmicshit for a brand new split release, pushing the frontiers of experimental sound into exhilarating new territory.
Much more than a collection of tracks, this collaboration is a manifesto of uncompromising creativity. Psywarfare, the uncompromising project helmed by Dwid Hellion (Integrity), contributes devastating soundscapes that twist and mutate, sculpting the power of noise into aggressive, fin…
Draining Bernice Worden / Violence
2025 stock "Draining Bernice Worden / Violence" by Psywarfare is a harsh noise project that exemplifies the band's commitment to weaponized sound and psychological provocation, creating an intentionally uncomfortable and uncompromising experience for the listener. The single was released in 2021 and consists of abrasive, confrontational sonic textures that reflect Psywarfare's ethos of challenging what is considered musically acceptable by mainstream standards.
Setpieces
Setpieces captures Cath Roberts & Olie Brice at a new peak of focus and invention, distilling their long-running musical rapport into a set of raw, finely tuned improvisations. Roberts’ baritone lines carve out bold shapes and sudden whispers while Brice’s bass grounds and disrupts in equal measure, creating a vivid, unpredictable dialogue. A striking next chapter for two of the UK’s most distinctive improvisers.
