In A Not C
More than 25 years after the start of collaboration with Acid Mothers Temple mastermind Makoto Kawabata (including the INUI series and the classic Kawabata/Youngs release) comes the first proper VHF LP by the prolific quintet. One of an occasional series of “minimalism” inspired LPs by the group, In A Not C is a not a barely changing drone, but a wild ride with the band in full flight, rushing along in a glorious swirl of psychedelic madness.
Like the band’s well-known 2001 version of Terry Rile…
Live At The Donaueschingen Music Festival

A Journey Through Sound, Silence and Return (Monograph) (Book)
Few figures in experimental music embody rupture as completely as Maurizio Bianchi. A Journey Through Sound, Silence and Return traces his arc from ferocious early industrial extremism to a radical withdrawal and enigmatic comeback, revealing an artistic ethic where creation, renunciation and re-emergence form one continuous, troubling gesture.
77 Individuals
Collective improvisations by 77 people of all ages, from seasoned musicians to first-time performers, with the Bon Odori song Eejanaika Ondo. Produced by Otomo Yoshihide.
The Oimels
Two years after Free Action, a different record. The Oimels, MPS 1969, is the Wolfgang Dauner Quintet playing pop: Dauner on piano, organ and voice, Eberhard Weber on bass, cello and voice, Siegfried Schwab on guitar and sitar, Pierre Cavalli on guitar, and Roland Wittich on drums and voice, who also did the cover art with Dauner.
The programme mixes Dauner originals with a Gershwin tune, a traditional, and a Lennon-McCartney song. A RateYourMusic listener puts it plainly: a different kind of ja…
Drëun
This is supposed to be a 40th anniversary reissue. Well, it still is, but with year of a delay. It was told enough about the early Metgumbnerbone recordings. We just keep some quotes here.
"It’s hard to imagine anything more haunting than the folk horror ritual sounds which Metgumbnerbone conjured forth in the Ruins of Industry." - Kristian Olsson, Shock Tilt
"Working mainly with percussion, Metgumbnerbone evolves an improvisational continuum that depicts subterranean and old, eerie, murky templ…
Bourj Hammoud Groove
Compilation of Ara Kekedjian, singer born in 1946 in Bourj Hammoud and a central figure of Beirut's Armenian pop scene in the 1960s and 70s: Armenian rhythms, hard drums, funky guitars and organ, compiled with Darone Sassounian.
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…
When The Moon Is New
"There are fewer great guitar trio records than you'd suspect. Guitar duo sessions are far more abundant, and these three players have all done their share of those. But the dynamics of a trio are more-fickle. And when creating collaborative non-hierarchical music, maintaining a balance between three distinct voices is not easy. It requires rapt attention, a fearless approach to entering the unknown, and very good ears to do it successfully.
Clearly, Connors, Vallera, and Sharp display mastery o…
Random Groove
2026 Stock * Pressed on 180-gram fluoro pink vinyl * Carsten Nicolai’s practice investigates the boundaries between visual and audio art forms within an integrated artistic approach. Influenced by scientific reference systems, Nicolai often engages mathematical patterns such as grids and codes, as well as error, randomisation and self-organising structures.
Under the pseudonym noto, Nicolai experiments with sound to create his own semiotic language, and acoustic and visual symbols. Random Groov…
Welcome to All the Pleasures
Chris Shields on organ, Ed Atkins on voice and Magnus Kaslov recording, live at KoncertKirken in Copenhagen in 2024: the organ reduced to air leaks, mechanical hesitation and shifting overtones. Liner notes by Sarah Davachi, edition of 200.
Woman's Colours
One of the most iconic Italian library music albums ever, Woman’s Colours by the Giancarlo Barigozzi Group (with Sergio Farina and Oscar Rocchi) emerged from Milan’s vibrant studio scene. Originally released in 1974 under the supervision of Fabio Fabor, it’s a refined concept work blending jazz-funk, jazz-rock, bossa nova and exotica, featuring Wurlitzer, Fender Rhodes, fuzz guitars and expressive flutes, balancing groove and elegance. Over time it has attained cult status, now regarded as a cor…
Fioritures
*35 copies limited edition* On Fioritures, Lamasz offers his debut for Le Mont Analogue, transforming fragments of classical music into a quietly immersive work. Rooted in material drawn from thrifted cassettes, the six pieces unfold through looping motifs that drift and dissolve, gently enriched with drones, field recordings, and tape textures. The result is a cohesive, meditative reverie, where each moment slowly erodes into a suspended, near-weightless state.
Berlin Concerts
Berlin, 30 August 1961, two Südwestfunk sessions: Eric Dolphy at 33, on his second European trip, with Benny Bailey, Pepsi Auer, George Joyner and Buster Smith. Hot House, Hi-Fly, God Bless the Child on bass clarinet, and Dolphy's own G.W. and 245. Unheard until Enja issued it in 1978. Christgau gave it an A.

The Organ is the Worlds Greatest Syntesizer
**Limited edition of 222 copies, black vinyl two color screenprinted cover** At eight o'clock on a March morning in 2024, as Amsterdam awakened around it, Charlemagne Palestine took his place at the console of the Vater-Müller organ in the Oude Kerk—the city's oldest building, a Gothic monument dating to 1306—and opened a portal. What emerged over the following forty-plus minutes, now captured on this limited edition LP, stands as one of the most concentrated distillations of Palestine's six-dec…
