Among the most enigmatic figures t…

The First and Second Side of the Mystic Synth
Fockewulf 190 is a Milanese project founded in the early 1980s by keyboardist and conceptual mastermind Victor Life and vocalist Dario Dell'Aere. The band's name references the Second World War fighter aircraft, a provocation typical of an era when Italian post-punk and electronic music often trafficked in militarist imagery as a way of forcing discomfort into the listening experience. Their sound occupies a genuinely singular position: electrodance and Italo disco inflected by an esoteric conce…
The Kármán Line
The Kármán Line is the threshold - the precise altitude at which the Earth's atmosphere ends and open space begins. Outer Worlds Jazz Ensemble understood the metaphor immediately. This is music made at that exact boundary: grounded in groove and breath, but pulling steadily toward something without ceiling.
The story begins in Tokyo. Neil Innes - bassist, producer, the animating force behind ATA Records and its consistently remarkable Leeds-centred roster - and woodwind voice Chip Wickham were n…
Mutant III
Kevin Lazar is a minimal-synth, electro-acid-techno-pioneer from Chicago who is still active nowadays in the DJ and Electro-culture today as Vekzar. This Lp-Compilation contains his first and highly sought-after 26 minute-Tape "MUTANT 111" from 1982 (recorded late 1981 to Summer 82) as well as his unreleased 4-Track EP "DARK HEART CABARET" intended for release in 1983 plus 3 more previously unreleased Tracks from 1982 and 83. In 1983, Alex Dougal's CLEM (Contact List of Electronic Music) …
Mc Gub Gub, Ode to Skt. John, Pladepip
* Edition of 300 copies. High thickness cardboard with opaque laminated cover. Comes with a printed insert. * John Tchicai (1936 – 2012) was one of the most important free improvising saxophonists of the 20th Century: an artist of rare vision and aptitude whose lines soared and stood out even in the most hallowed company, and whose body of work as a leader / composer is among the most singular and distinct within the entire canon of that music. But Tchicai’s importance doesn’t end there. Born in…
The Manson Family Sings The Songs Of Charles Manson
Recorded at the infamous Spahn Ranch in 1970, while their leader Charles Manson was facing trial for the murder of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca, The Manson Family Sings is a highly disconcerting listen. Beneath the harmonic brilliance and folksy innocence of these campfire-styled recordings are the hallmarks of Manson’s twisted worldview, rendering a dystopian edge to what is otherwise compelling singalongs. Squeaky Frome, Brenda Gold, Gypsy Share and Sandra Blue all feature, with Clem Grogan fron…
A Railroad Spike Forms The Voice
*2023 stock* "Don’t follow.” That’s the admonition saxophonist and composer Roscoe Mitchell (b. 1940) was known to give his students at Oakland’s Mills College in one-on-one sessions. In musical communication and creation, not following or directly responding to others is central to Mitchell’s philosophy and approach. As he said to me in a recent conversation, “I just let things develop with my intent, with my work, and I’ve never been a person that went around looking for people to play with. I…
Early Music
Coming a couple of years after High Peak Selections, Early Music was the second 'studio' full-length album by Jon Collin. More spare and sparse than its predecessor, both in atmosphere and presentation (the track names are simply numbers), it's also perhaps more focused and consistent in terms of sound and mood (as well as instrumental set-up and recording locale). While High Peak Selections and later recordings feature environmental and external sounds bleeding in and out of recordings, the onl…
Songs of Compassion
*300 copies limited edition* "Songs of Compassion" is a project by United States of Alchemy, bringing together Dorothy Moskowitz, Francesco Paolo Paladino and Luca Chino Ferrari in a musical landscape that moves between psychedelic balladry, chamber music and delicate electronic soundscapes. The album explores the shades of night and the subtle vibrations of an almost intangible emotional dimension, where music seems to arise from inner listening rather than from conventional compositional struc…
Double String Trios
John McGuire’s Double String Trios brings together three substantial works for paired string trios composed between 2012 and 2021 and conducted by Axel Lindner. The project originated when Walter Zimmermann invited Bernd Härpfer of Initiative Musik und Informatik Köln – GIMIK e.V. to arrange a concert premiere marking McGuire’s 80th birthday.
McGuire’s musical language was forged in the electronic studios of postwar Cologne, shaped by studies with Karlheinz Stockhausen and Krzysztof Penderecki, …
After The Rain
At a time when the Japanese jazz scene was rapidly maturing and one accomplished musician after another was emerging, another saxophonist worthy of new attention joined the scene: Masafumi Yamaguchi. This work, his memorable first album as a leader, now makes its long-awaited first appearance as part of the seventh installment of "Spin This Now!"
Hush-A-Bye
Following the great response to the previous release "Flash Up," a live recording from Shinjuku Pit Inn in March 1977, this new work composed by Takeo Moriyama was recorded about a year later. The second release left by the Takeo Moriyama Group on Teichiku now finally makes its debut as part of the seventh installment of "Spin This Now!"
Buchenwald
The seminal classic first Whitehouse album released in 1980, one of the most important and influential records from the embryonic field of electronic and industrial music
Il Vuoto
Four Flies is proud and excited to present the first full-album release of the long-forgotten, previously unreleased soundtrack composed by Armando Trovajoli for Piero Vivarelli’s 1964 movie Il Vuoto. Rightly considered by many to be a key figure, if not the key figure, in the history of Italian jazz, Trovajoli was responsible for fostering an appreciation and understanding of jazz among the generation of music listeners and musicians raised under Mussolini and Fascist nationalism. His outstand…
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.
Temporarily Eternal (Book)
2026 stock Temporarily Eternal is an emotional-visual summing up of a creative friendship between Swedish author Carl Abrahamsson and British artist Genesis P-Orridge (1950-2020) that lasted for more than three decades, and which was filled with musical projects, films, books, writings, conversations, travel, and a great deal of magic. This book both is and is not a companion to Genesis Breyer P-Orridge: Sacred Intent – Conversations with Carl Abrahamsson 1986-2019. It is, in the sense that the …
Applied Synthesis
Bill Rhodes was a Florida-based synthesist and composer who spent the 1980s building an idiosyncratic body of work across a series of self-released cassettes and limited vinyl pressings, entirely outside the commercial music industry and largely unknown beyond the tape-trading network he plugged into through South Florida connections and fanzine advertisements. His music was described by Boomkat as spanning "lounge jazz flair to doomy John Carpenter feels," evoking a library's worth of themes an…
