The Darker Side Of Rising Sun (Japan March 6 & 7, 1972)
2026 stock A famous Pink Floyd bootleg is back in circulation as a limited-edition collector's item of just 350 copies, all hand-numbered, containing three 180-gram colored LPs, a 20-page booklet, a poster, and a reproduction of the concert ticket. The tracklist draws from the shows on March 6 and 7, 1972, in Tokyo, the first dates of a Japanese tour during which Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason performed a live, not-yet-final version of “The Dark Side of the Moon” (wi…
Sheet Tape Registered Black 1977-1979
Steve Hitchcock (currently known as Ferrara Brain Pan) began experimenting with music and art in early 1977 as a freshman-year university student in San Diego, where he edited and published five issues of a Neo-Dada mail art 'zine called 'Cabaret Voltaire’. While active in mail art, he corresponded with Genesis P-Orridge and Cosey Funni Tutti of COUM Transmissions and Throbbing Gristle and thereby became involved with the early Industrial music movement. During the years 1977-79, he created thes…
Take me, I’m yours
On Take Me, I’m Yours, Alan Abrahams and Jan Jelinek dissolve the border between song and sound design: multi‑layered vocal sketches are stripped of harmony and beat, re‑sculpted into fragile, pulsing landscapes where house‑born emotion drifts through Jelinek’s grainy abstractions.
Divine Music From Jail
Oidupaa Vladimir Oyun was a Tuvan musician and a man with an amazing, but really heavy destiny, a man of unbending will and divine talent and the creator of a unique style of throat singing, accompanied by playing the button accordion. Researchers described Oidupaa's style as blues and emphasized the complexity of this style of performance, which requires the singer to exert a lot of tension on the vocal cords. This is the author's unique version of the deepest and most powerful type of throat s…
Sixty strings
Sixty Strings is an album of two epic duets by Eric Carbonara (22-string upright Chaturangui guitar) and Jesse Sparhawk (38-string lever harp). While Carbonara has studied Chaturangui extensively with Pandit Debashish Bhattacharya in Kolkata, and Sparhawk was classically trained by major figures of the harp world in his formative years, the music here is their own—not a mashup of quasi-orientalism and conservatory bloodlessness. Both side-long tracks lay out a spacious framework, with the two pl…
Xerrox
Xerrox Vol. 1 is the third studio album by German electronic artist Alva Noto. It was released in 2007 as part of the ongoing Xerrox pentalogy, based on the concept of digital replication of source material.
Using the process of copying as a basis, the Xerrox series deals with the manipulation of data through endless reproduction. Due to the inherent fallacy of making copies from other copies, everyday sounds become so altered that they are hardly associated with their source material. As a resu…
Orbital
The Outskirts came together as a working band during bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten’s three-year stint as a Chicagoan from 2005-2008. They played regularly at all of the working venues for improvised music in Chicago at that time, including The Hungry Brain, The Velvet Lounge, The Hideout, and Elastic. They even made a live recording in April 2009 that they were eager to release. But unfortunately, the multi-track audio files were lost in a hard drive mishap, leaving only a barely usable rough m…

Liner notes:
"This project began as Centrifugal Trio, with Bishop, Borghini, and Griener, recorded in the studio zentri-fuge in Berlin in September 2019 and released on the Astral Spirits label.
For my visit to Berlin in 2022, I wanted to expand the group, and invited the wonderful Mia Dyberg on alto, who I had played with earlier at Sowieso in Berlin, and whose recording Ticket!

Start Soft
*Limited edition of 100 copies* In 2017, Oli Heffernan took to the stage in Dundee to play bass for Damo Suzuki, the legendary former frontman of Can. Backed by a one-off ensemble featuring Griff (Interrobang / Regular Fries), Harry (Chumbawamba) and E-Da (Boredoms), the group walked on with no rehearsal and no plan. Suzuki offered a single instruction — “start soft” — and the set unfolded from there.
Like all of Suzuki’s performances, the music was entirely improvised: tense yet fluid, explorat…
Anichy & Lyemn
Anichy & Lyemn reduce electronic sound to patient, glowing essentials: slow harmonic rhythm, canons, repetitive phrases and gently shifting layers, across two unreleased remix pieces that treat minimalism less as a genre tag than a way of feeling time stretch and fold.
Nikhil Banerjee in California 1967
*2025 stock* These are live recordings of Nikhil Banerjee at KPFA Radio in Berkeley, California, on the 9th of July, 1967. It is for the first time they are made into vinyl record and published in China. The original recordings were on two reel-to-reel tapes. In 1988, American record label Raga Records released the recordings on both CD and cassette. Until a few years ago, it was by chance that producer Tu Fei got hold of these reel-to-reel tapes and decided to release this vinyl version, hoping…
Romancing The Music
Through the dense blend of Japanese New-Wave, set against a backdrop of moldy kimonos and punctured paper screens, Hip-See-Kid's mini-LP, Romancing The Music, emerges like a sonic bullet train, carving its way through the chaos of sound and emotion. Overflowing with purebred Punk-Funk, shards of Soul, and threads of shredded Jazz, this album is nothing short of a gold nugget in a sea of sadness.
Romancing The Music captures a unique fusion of genres, delivering an audacious auditory experience t…
Through the Billboard Promised Land Without Ever Stopping
On Through The Billboard Promised Land Without Ever Stopping, Derek Jarman reads his only known work of narrative fiction: a chromatic, psychosexual road‑fable in which a blind young king and his valet traverse a mythical America that feels like the seedbed of Jarman’s later alchemical cinema.
Studio/Live
Savvas Christodoulou was born in Cyprus in 1949 and moved to Melbourne in 1950 as part of the great wave of Greek immigration following WW2. His story is long, involved and fascinating, and the liner notes and interview contained within the LP's 4-page insert tells the whole story.
Perhaps more briefly, what you need to know is that he released the Savvas studio LP in 1974 in an edition of 300 copies, and enjoyed such a strong local following that he sold out the 2,000-seat-capacity Dallas Brook…
The Black Ark + Dogon A.D.
Special discounted Bundle. Two of the greatest free jazz records ever laid to tape, back where they belong. Superior Viaduct reissues Noah Howard's The Black Ark and Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. — both from 1972, both inexplicably scarce for decades, both essential.
The Black Ark finds Howard backed by a towering ensemble — Norris Jones (Sirone), Arthur Doyle, Leslie Waldron, Earl Cross, Juma Sultan, Mohammed Ali — in four tracks that move from hard-blown spiritual fire to lyrical catharsis. Des…
Peace and Blessings
** Original 1979 vinyl edition of the album. Few copies available. Sealed copies ** A fantastic album recorded in Italy, but with all the soulful roots of Kalaparusha's earlier years with the AACM – an incredible balance of tone and timing, handled by a quartet - this obscure set features passionate blowing by Kalaparusha Maurice McIntyre (heard on tenor, flute, clarinet, bass clarinet and percussion) along with the little-known Longineu Parson on trumpet, flugelhorn, flute, sopranino and record…

Just in time for the 60th anniversary of this seven-part cult classic (first aired on September 17, 1966, on ARD), this legendary highlight from Peter Thomas’ work, expanded with previously unreleased tracks, is being reissued on LP.

Live Bahdu
Legendary saxophonist Don Dietrich and his powerhouse cellist daughter Camille Dietrich collide in Live Bahdu, a fierce musical union that music critic Byron Coley hails as “sheer wailing sonic pleasure.” Don, an untamed force who has spent over forty years shaping the explosive core of Borbetomagus, unleashes a volatile, lung-shaking roar, an unyielding take no prisoners wall of sound. Camille answers with her own ferocity, channeling raw, electric intensity through the disciplined edge of her …
Gas
*Back in stock* For the first time ever, this book Wolfgang Voigt – Gas presents the visual aspect of the comprehensive gas project. it is not meant to be a monolithic retrospective of his visual work, but it features a broad spectrum of photographic images taken between 1995 and 1998 showing many different moods and perspectives of Wolfgang Voigt’s Cosmos. what they all have in common, however, is the mystical focus and seemingly, the blurring of boundaries between lightness and darkness, happi…
