Hip Dancin'
A classic album recorded in 1976, featuring a superb lineup including Sam Jones, Kazumi Watanabe, and Fumio Karashima, with expansive cello solos. Highlights include an exhilarating duo number with the seasoned bassist Sam Jones, as well as Kazumi Watanabe’s hip guitar solos throughout.
Label Introduction: East Wind was a groundbreaking 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 period of about…
Predetermination + Beautiful United Harmony Happening (2LP Bundle)
Two sunken treasures from the same Copenhagen underground, gathered here as a pair. On one LP, Predetermination: The Contemporary Jazz Quartet caught in 1964 alongside Sunny Murray and Gary Peacock - the rhythm section of Albert Ayler's Spiritual Unity - on music that stayed hidden for sixty years. Free jazz before the norm was set, exploding out of Denmark years ahead of the rest of Scandinavia.
On the other, Beautiful United Harmony Happening / The Education of an Amphibian: John Tchicai at hi…
Ritual Fever
There are moments of silent depth in which the winter of the scalpel of meaning and the spring of the sound-born, unleashed body look upon the world fully present. When the notes at last are heard, the ordered world is their indistinguishable score. The ritual of process is that which carries. The process of ritual is that which brings moments both transitory and immortal, apprehended by musician, seer, clairvoyant, herald; the welling tones that emanate from the crystal salt of shattered primor…
Because It Happens
„Not So Late / Because it Happens“ on CD and „Because it Happens“ on LP is the material recorded live on August 5th 2025 in London at legendary Cafe OTO. Three masters of improvisation: Mikołaj Trzaska on saxophone, John Edwards on double bass and Mark Sanders on drums. They don't use the term "improvisation," preferring instead to speak of "live composition" and the audience, who are an essential component of the concert ritual. The community created by the performers and the audience's attenti…
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…
Every Color Moving (1988-2003)
On Every Color Moving (1988–2003), Steve Roden’s first 15 years unfold across six discs: from noisy, searching experiments to the hushed, “lowercase” worlds that would define his quietly radical, object‑based approach to sound and space.
Fukushima
Sinsuke Fujieda Group recorded Fukushima at Groove Studio Matsudo in May 2023. When Superfly Records put it out on vinyl in the spring of 2025 the thousand copies vanished within days, two further pressings followed, and copies on the second-hand market are now asking three figures. This CD is the record the LP could not hold: the five compositions restored to their full unedited length, three flute pieces that had only ever appeared digitally, and Jiva, a previously unheard piece for bamboo cla…
Oeuvres Sonores
Edition of 120 copies. The missing chapter, at last. Two of the most elusive records in the Alga Marghen catalog - one-sided LPs pressed in editions of 80 and 29 copies, available only inside long since vanished boxsets - are finally united on a single LP. Oeuvres sonores completes the series of records issued in relation to alga marghen's presentation of the work of Charlotte Moorman at the Centre Pompidou between 2008 and 2013, and appears in a final edition of 120 copies only. Moorman remains…
1982-1986 (Expanded)
Even with just basic knowledge of the conditions of the totalitarian regime in the former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (ČSSR), it is not difficult to understand why the project Maťkovia was never allowed to release anything officially during its existence from 1982 to 1987. The ironic, nihilistic lyrics full of dark humor, describing the despair and greyness of the normalization era in Bratislava in the 1980s simply had no chance of passing through the censorship at the time. The work of the …
In The Groove
2025 much needed repress!! Since its formation in 1969, Soul Media had been advocating a fusion of jazz and rock. The next step along that line was this album, In the Groove, recorded in 1973. The sharpness of jazz is brought to the forefront, with rock melting in to give it an edge, and funk injected to imbue it with power and resilience. The result was a strong, sophisticated, and simply "cool music" that could not be categorized within existing genres such as jazz rock, jazz funk, or fusion. …
Zeldzame Mensen
Insane," or in French, "un truc de malade": expressions often used to describe a strange work of art, a daring piece of architecture, or an experimental piece of music. It’s a comment that should be taken figuratively: not necessarily pejorative, and most often even positive. In contrast, the music of this album reflects a "sick" theme in the true sense of the word, as the two protagonists chose to resume their twenty-year collaboration in the antechamber of a hematologist's office.
The album’s …
Whispering Ln. Vol. II
Whispering Ln. Vol. II was recorded between 2018 and 2019 in America, alongside the pieces that formed the first album. These recordings belong to the same time and space, shaped by the same quiet focus and slow attention to sound. While remaining rooted in minimalism, this album introduces several more rhythmic pieces, drawing inspiration from early electronic music – echoes of composers such as Tom Dissevelt and Raymond Scott.
Movement and stillness coexist throughout this record. Rhythms and …
Ys
Joanna Newsom's 2006 masterpiece returns on double LP: five sprawling songs where harp and voice meet Van Dyke Parks' orchestral grandeur, recorded by Steve Albini, mixed by Jim O'Rourke. Named for a drowned Breton city, Ys remains overwhelming
Maris Stella
On Maris Stella, Tristan da Cunha turns isolationism into liturgy, reimagining the Marian figure of Our Lady, Star of the Sea as a beacon inside abandonment. A single, slow‑burning minimalist opus folds post‑drone, neoclassical gravity and choral haze into a seaborne ritual where guitar, viola, bass and drums behave like a reconfigured orchestra.
Intervalli (1950-56)
VERY last copies * Edition of 200, comes with an insert * Giuseppe Chiari's Intervalli, composed between 1950 and 1956 and now recorded in complete form for the first time, is one of the most significant and least heard compositions of the European post-war avant-garde. A twelve-part work for solo piano, it sidesteps the dominant Serialism of its moment entirely - arriving instead at a form of radical restraint that prefigures Minimalism, systems-based music, and conceptualism by more than a dec…

A soundtrack of the animation film ''A serious thought'' by Jonas Taul at Nukufilm. All music composed and played by Volodja Brodsky

Water Angels
Lucky restock, few available ** 300 copies only ** A major part of Katalin Ladik’s work was associated with vocal and instrumental music, although she had no particular music qualifications, nor was she an ‘amateur musician’, but rather a phenomenon of music excesses and voice miracles, combining music, theatre and poetry. Her music essentially addresses relations between sound and woman’s body. It was the music of a female body and its motions, transformation, action and expression: when she pr…

A really must-have for any Library Breaks DJ vinyl collector.

Band name brings the members signs: the "G" of organist Giorgio Carnini , "R" s…
Magic Object
This is not a Ben Vida, Booker Stardrum, and Will Epstein record; it’s a Play Time record. That’s a subtle but important distinction, for a couple reasons. One, the sound of Magic Object—a polymetric blend of improv and pulse minimalism for saxophone, drums, and Moog—doesn’t really sound anything like any of their many other ensembles or respective solo projects. And two, it was only while making Magic Object, their debut album, that Play Time realized they were a band at all. Let’s back up. The…
