Backside
** 2026 Stock ** 300 copies in Dark Crystal vinyl. The enigmatic sound architects of Nurse With Wound return with Backside, a haunting new studio album that bridges four decades of underground sonic archaeology. Released through Rotorelief in an exquisite limited edition pressing, this latest opus represents Steven Stapleton and Andrew Liles at their most revelatory, breathing new life into fragments of the long-lost Bladder Flask sessions from circa 1980. The paths of Nurse With Wound and Richa…
Music for Real Airports (Box set 2)
Music for Real Airports is a multimedia art project by musicians the Black Dog and interactive artists Human which is presented in art galleries. It is also a new CD of music by the Black Dog. It is a response to the reality of occupying the semi-public space of an airport, and a contemporary reply to Brian Eno’s work from the ‘70s. Airports are important and revealing. They are dystopian microcosms of a possible future society. The necessity of safety requires that they be systems of human cont…
Alina
*2024 stock. Deluxe packaging* There have been other recordings of "Für Alina" and "Spiegel im Spiegel" but none like those on this disc, realized with the participation of the composer. Here Pärt, aided by exceptional interpreters, revisits those seminally important compositions which marked the birth of a new, "prismatic" period in his work, establishing a link between compositions embodying the fundamental traits of the "tintinnabuli style." Three interpretations of the duet ‘Spiegel im Spieg…
Foliage
Foliage is a long-form graphic music score by Elliott Sharp, consisting of eighty risograph prints offered as abstract instructions open to any number of realisations by any instrumentalist or ensemble. Sharp works in the lineage of post-1945 graphic notation but with a contemporary twist: the score was produced by routing his own conventionally written music through graphics editing software, distorting, layering, inverting and blurring it until notation explodes into retinal artwork.
Healsgebedda Budgerigar
On Healsgebedda Budgerigar, Nurse With Wound turn memory itself into a delirious tape loop: three long, sample‑swollen excursions where pet chatter, phantom TV themes and street detritus melt into a woozy, psychedelic netherworld of half‑remembered sound.
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.
Colofon & Compendium 1991-1994
Telephone terrorism tactics and voyeuristic ambience from the Scanner archive 1991-1994. Exclusive unreleased material. An eavesdropper's delight. "In the summer of 2010, I worked through my extensive archive of DAT tapes, cassettes and mini-discs, which had accumulated since 1977, and with the help of my ever-capable and patient interns, began the process of digitizing these materials. The result -- over 600 hours of largely unreleased material -- was overwhelming to say the least, and …
He's Coming
Released on Polydor in 1972, this is Roy Ayers hitting his stride. The Ubiquity sound has clicked into place: jazz improvisation, funk underneath, soul harmony, spiritual weight, all of it pulling in the same direction. The vibraphonist leans hard into groove without losing the openness, soul-jazz tipping over into the jazz-funk that would carry him through the decade. The band is loaded - Harry Whitaker on electric piano, organ and voice; John Williams on bass with Ron Carter stepping in on "We…
Murder Ballads (Incest Songs)
Incest Songs is the final chapter of the Murder Ballads trilogy, and its most fully realized expression. Where Drift and Passages explored the post-isolationist frame through voice and single instrument, this third volume dispenses with that approach entirely, opening instead onto a more labyrinthine sonic architecture - one built from overlapping, saturating, blurring voices, all of them Martyn Bates'. The decision feels both inevitable and quietly inspired. Bates' vocalizations unfold as layer…
Zouvneree
Harsh noise at full saturation from Incapacitants, the duo of Toshiji Mikawa (Hijokaidan) and Fumio Kosakai. No melody, no rhythm, no let-up, only a dense and strangely psychedelic block of electronics pushed toward ecstatic overload. One of the defining names in Japanese noise, on Alchemy.
at Studio Pelto
Over the past decade Helsinki has quietly become one of Europe's busiest cities for young jazz players, and few labels have done more to document that activity than Jazzaggression. Uusi Jazzi Klubi - the loose collective that bills itself as the city's underground jazz club - return with their second album, recorded across two days in the spring of 2024 at the label's own Pelto Studio. Nothing here was written in advance. Drummer Aleksi Tanhuala gathered the players, set the tape rolling, and le…
New Music - New Poetry

This first ever reissue of poet and social/political activist Amiri Baraka’s electric live 1982 beat poetry reading is newly remastered and includes a zine-style poetry insert and liner notes by David Murray!
“The poetry I want to write is oral by tradition, mass aimed as its fundamental functional motive. Black poetry, in its mainstream, is oracular, sermonic, …
Ultimate Spinach
Considered among the all-time classic psychedelic recordings, the Ultimate Spinach ’68 self titled debut is unearthed in its unfathomably rare mono form! The unique blend of psych, jazz, rock, Gregorian vocals and Baroque instrumentation sets Ultimate Spinach apart from anything released at the time.

V2002 is Gong's Flying Teapot - a record about Pot Head Pixies who ride interstellar …
Where the Echoes Bloom
Alia works from an unusual set of inheritances. Through her father, the Lebanese percussionist Jamal Mohamed, she grew up around Levantine jazz and a wide range of other musics; she studied raqs sharqi, the dance better known in the West as belly dance, alongside Arabic music, and learned the kacapi from the Indonesian pandit Ade Suparman. She took up the theremin after seeing the Iranian-Armenian musician Armen Ra perform in Los Angeles, drawn to an instrument she describes as "like a human voi…
Green Tambourine
Trunk Records lifts a single from one of American private-press music's stranger corners: Gary Schneider's home-made version of Green Tambourine, a 7" that has drifted for years through the hands of collectors who prize the homemade and the unclassifiable.

Mount Analogue
On Mount Analogue, Bill Laswell and P.ST assemble an international cast to translate René Daumal’s unfinished mountain allegory into a two‑records sonic ascent: a six‑part electro‑acoustic “novel” and a mirrored peak of solo guitar visions from Henry Kaiser, refracted through Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain.
Awase
Swiss pianist Nik Bärtsch and his band Ronin deliver hypnotic 'ritual groove music': interlocking minimal patterns, funk-tinged grooves and Zen-like repetition. Precise, physical and mesmerizing.
