Main Lines / 1967
In September, 1967, three of the primary ensembles of free music in Northern Europe gathered for a mini-festival on Radio Bremen: the Manfred Schoof Quintet, the Peter Brötzmann Quartet, and the Irène Schweizer Trio. Pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach appeared as part of the Manfred Schoof Quintet, but in these sets, which mixed the dozen members of the ensembles, as well as presenting them on their own, Schlippenbach in fact either led or was at the center of several groupings, presenting two …

From Such a Blue Sky
The astounding second outing from the duo of Midori Takada & Jakob Bro, arriving on Copenhagen's Loveland Records just under a year after 'Until I Met You'. Across two stunning sides, subtle abstraction amongst sprawling ambiences, "Fourth-World" sensibilities, and pulsing minimalism. Limited LP.
A Gun To The People's Temple
The complete Jonestown "death tape" (FBI Q 042), recorded on 18 November 1978. Second pressing of 500 copies, dedicated to Christine Miller, the one voice that argued against the poison.
New Call From France
Jef Gilson (born Jean-François Quiévreux, 1926) had played clarinet with Claude Luter in Boris Vian's band, switched to piano in 1947, and in 1963 formed the big band through which half of French modern jazz would pass. In 1965 he was musical director of Les Double Six. That year Woody Shaw and Nathan Davis played in his orchestra. New Call From France, released by SABA in 1966 and credited to the Jef Gilson Nonet with Jean-Louis Chautemps, is the record he made for the Black Forest label at the…
The deep silent, dark graphite
Sachiko primarly performs live in Tokyo with drone music centered around her voice. Here, in this new studio album, her voice seems concealed within the silence of the outer space or among a forest settling into stillness. The soundscapes are carefully crafted for a slow reveal, wavering and drifting, with the electronics and viola at times taking the lead, gradually unveiling an abyss of emotion.
While playing the bass in the Japanese bands Kousokuya and Overhang Party, Sachiko began her solo p…
Signals
Huge tip! Following her 2025 minimalist/ambient album ‘just like any other day (어느날): background music for your mundane activities’ on Shelter Press, Okkyung Lee moves in another direction with London’s Explore Ensemble. Flung is proud to present Signals, a release that eludes categorisation while shifting between electronics, acoustic composition, and improvisation. It places Lee’s improvisational language in dialogue with the instrumentalists of Explore Ensemble’s sextet, whom together become …
Style
Bomb! Rhodes and Hammond, wah-wah guitar, strings, horns and the first traces of the synthesizer, moving between jazz-funk, bossa, psychedelia and pop with the ease that only the Roman studio scene of the mid-1970s could produce. Recorded in Rome in 1974 for RCA Italiana's short-lived library series and pressed in a tiny run for film, television and advertising producers rather than for sale, Gianni Oddi's Style has been one of the most sought-after titles in Italian library music for decades, a…

Postal Pieces
Marking its first decade of activity, Blume returns with the first ever vinyl release to attend to the seminal American composer James Tenney’s “Postal Pieces”, among the most important suites of 20th Century avant-garde composition.
I Dream of You Jumping
Fred Frith on guitar, Louis Sclavis on clarinets and soprano saxophone, Jean-Pierre Drouet on percussion and objects, live at Victoriaville on 21 May 2000: one extended improvisation from abstract textures to folk-like melody.
Savana Selvaggia
Eight years after the masterpiece Africa Oscura, Four Flies revisits Giuliano Sorgini’s afro-dark universe, unearthing and compiling another suite of previously unreleased music recorded by the Roman composer for television documentaries in the mid-1970s. Savana Selvaggia is a tribute to the continent that left the deepest mark on Sorgini’s creative trajectory. Traversing ancestral percussion, synthesizers, enigmatic themes, and mystical expanses almost like a spiritual journey, Savana Selvaggia…
Cloaven Theatre / That Old Western Sieve
The Sun City Girls were unlike any band before them or that has come in their wake. Their catalog, their ethos, their *being* - you name it, with the Girls that “it” was singular and became legend. This singularity started early and extended to their release schedule and the means behind the same. While the band would prove to be wildly prolific throughout their existence, during their nascent days they quickly realized that they could not be contained by any sort of traditional label schedule. …
Return Of The Black Emperor
The 2018 debut by Chicago saxophonist Isaiah Collier with The Chosen Few, recorded when he was 20: 66 minutes of spiritual jazz after Coltrane, between gospel, free improvisation and heavy rhythm. Japanese edition.
Black & Beautiful / Soul & Madness
Deluxe edition, housed in a reverse board printed sleeve with printed inner sleeve. 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 Bea…
Hurry Red Telephone
Marc Ribot's first all-instrumental album since Live at the Village Vanguard: a quartet with Chad Taylor and the saxophones of James Brandon Lewis, Brian Settles and Briggan Krauss, between free jazz and No Wave. On Pi Recordings.
Almost Starlight
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 …
