Music For Tombak & Synth
Cinna Peyghamy unveils new album fusing Persian tombak and modular synthesis. Five years in the making, "Music For Tombak & Synth" bridges heritage, technology, and personal identity.

In the album, Peyghamy seamlessly blends the traditional Persian tombak with modular synthesis and digital sign…
Shutsumin
Shutsumin, the debut recording from the generation spanning duo of Japanese legend Otomo Yoshihide, toggling between guitar and turntables, and rising saxophonist Kei Matsumaru, a native of Papua New Guinea, who moved to Tokyo after studying jazz at the Berkelee College of Music in Boston, where he's become a close collaborator of Eiko Ishibashi in addition to leading his own genre-defying solo projects. Both musicians casually ignore lines between jazz, experimental music, and noise, fashioning…

Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory
Windy and Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory is a purposefully misleading title for the first collaborative work from four friends who met close to 30 years prior. All active participants in Michigan independent music circles since the early '90s, Windy and Carl are well-known for their foundational contributions to drift and guitar-born ambient sounds, with songs characterized by deep connections to the natural world and a hard to pin down yet impossible to miss emotional vulnerability. Optigan Con…

Sahkomies
On Sähkömies, Jimi Tenor fuses lo‑fi drum‑machine electronics with smoky, Sun Ra‑indebted jazz, announcing himself as techno’s first cabaret surrealist. Recorded alone in a New York apartment and released on Sähkö/Puu in 1994, the album’s eight roughcast tracks turn bedroom gear, cheap synths and tenor sax into a playful, futuristic minimal‑acid songbook.
College Tour (LP)
Early 1980's Italian re-issue on Base Records of the 1969 album featuring Giuseppi Logan and Dave Burrell.
Luna Surface
A landmark in avant-garde jazz returns: the definitive, remastered edition of Alan Silva’s 1969 Paris session for BYG’s Actuel series. Leading his 11-piece Celestial Communication Orchestra — with titans like Anthony Braxton, Archie Shepp, and Grachan Moncur III — Silva channels the raw, boundary-pushing energy of the New York free jazz explosion. Deluxe packaging, restored artwork, and new liner notes by Kevin Le Gendre complete this long-sought treasure. Originally released in 1969, this explo…
Return of Dark Sorcery
*250 copies limited edition* The latest album from one of our absolute favorite current artists - Warlock Corpse. Hailing from the wastelands of central Asia, Труп Колдуна has been churning out high quality raw dungeon keller black metal synth for a few years now, but "Return of Dark Sorcery" feels like he has really hit his stride and is firing on all cylinders. Imagine perhaps taking the raw black metal sensibilities of Old Nick, the melodies of Quest Master, and the grit of Putrid Marsh and t…
Future Present Past
Future Present Past is the second Impulse! Records album by the free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements. The album was largely recorded at the historic Van Gelder Studio and showcases how the quintet fuses atmospheric jazz, world music traditions, and spoken word with the story of our collective existence: a future full of possibilities, a present with all its uncertainties, and a past as a source of ancestral wisdom.
Irreversible Entanglements, formed in Brooklyn in 2015, consists of p…

Another Perfect Day
Eight years since his last solo electric guitar record. Bill Orcutt returns to what made his playing essential: slashing chords, frenzied double-picking, angular runs that climb and ricochet. Recorded live at Cafe OTO. No computer loops. No gentle melodic glow. Just Orcutt and his four-string Fender through a tattered Twin Reverb.
Two Balls Are Enough
The debut album from the duo of Finnish accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen and Swedish reedist Mats Gustafsson - both musicians have routinely blown past the rules of the traditions from which first emerged—folk and free jazz, respectively—to explore constantly expanding worlds. It was only a matter of time before these iconoclasts collided to create something wonderfully raw and unexpected.
Cosmic Century
The third album from Wallenstein, originally released in 1973, stands as the band's definitive statement and one of the peak achievements of the entire Kosmische Musik movement. Led by keyboardist Jürgen Dollase and guitarist Bill Barone, the group had evolved from their earlier heavy progressive sound into something far more expansive and cosmic in scope.
Cosmic Century is exactly what its title promises - a journey through infinite space rendered in swirling synthesizers, celestial guitar work…

It marked the first-ever electroacoustic music release from Mexico. Although exp…
Nothing Is New In This Room Except The Dust
With Nothing in this room is new except the dust, Ivan The Tolerable returns not to a room but to a weather-beaten tract of being — a north-facing interior where wind has a voice and the light is a thin animal nosing the corners. The trio who forged Black Water, Brown Earth and An Orphan Form — Oli Heffernan, Mees Siderius, and Elsa Van Der Linden — move here with the patience of creatures that have learned the seasons of each other’s blood. If the earlier records surveyed land, this one digs in…
Cybernetics III / Contrappunto Dialettico Alla Mente
Limited and numbered edition, featuring original artwork and a newly designed, beautifully crafted collector’s sleeve with new liner notes by Bradford Bailey, and pressed on 180g vinyl. A reissue of one of the most singular documents in Deutsche Grammophon's legendary Avantgarde series - a single LP that sets two radically opposed ways of working with magnetic tape against one another, both realized within months of each other at the same address: the Studio di Fonologia della RAI in Milan.
On o…
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.

Over time it has attained cult status, now regarded as a cor…
Mara
* Picture disc edition of 300 copies * Maja S. K. Ratkje is at the forefront of the musical avant-garde. Her music is bold, original and it is meant for sharing. At its heart lies Ratkje’s own voice, an open door to her individual musicianship and a constant tool for realigning her work with natural expressions and human truths.
On Mara, layers of vocals overlap and layer their way through the reverberant woodwork of an early baroque parish in Austria. At times slow and beautiful, other times fr…
