Trilogie de la mort
One of the landmarks of minimalism, Radigue's sonic investigation into life, death, and life elsewhere after death, considered to be Eliane Radigue's masterpiece. "Trilogie de la Mort is a work in three parts. The first, Kyema, was originally released by XI in 1992. The 2nd and 3rd parts, Kailasha and Koumé are being released for the first time and the trilogy now makes its debut as a whole [this 3CD set is being sold for the cost of 2 CDs to make up for the prior availability Kyema]. 'Kyema' is…
One
*300 copies limited edition* One is a self-titled psychedelic and progressive rock album released in 1969 by the British group One, originally issued on the Fontana label. Built around singer and multi-instrumentalist Alan Marshall and keyboard player Bobby Sass, the group brought together musicians with strong studio and live backgrounds, creating a sound that is loose, soulful and unusually expansive. The album mixes blues-rock, soul, jazz touches and psychedelic improvisation into five long p…
LoFi Brutalist Action Jazz
*100 copies limited edition* I went looking for a dictionary definition of brutalism, trying to understand it a bit better. It had been our starting point since the first rehearsal. But did we actually understand it? Does any of it have something to do with our music? Does it even make sense — instrumental pieces inspired by buildings?We didn't set out to make a genre out of it. We set out to strip things down. Take a melody, take a rhythm, cut away everything that isn't essential — no polish, n…
Standing Circle
Debut self-titled album from Melbourne ensemble Standing Circle, led by Larry Crestani (guitar, kraartar, vocals). Eight tracks recorded live at The Grove, Melbourne, mixed and mastered by Nick Herrera. The record moves through spiritual jazz, jazz-funk and groove, with heavy Afro influence running through the rhythm section: congas, percussion and bass locking into rich African undertones throughout. Built around a shifting cast of Melbourne musicians and compositions that never repeat themselv…
Music Is Invisible (Pentimento Volume Three)
The third part in Jon Hassell’s Pentimento trilogy captures the much-missed artist performing as part of a trio with Rick Cox and John von Seggern in London in 2015, in what would turn out to be his final ever concert. Carefully edited and mixed by Jeff Rona into something much more than a traditional ‘live album’; themes, motifs and riffs from his critically adored albums Listening To Pictures and Seeing Through Sound occur throughout these unique, semi-improvised mutations, making this a fitti…
Manifold Of Partially Actualized Realities
The producer of Sunn O))) and co-composer of the Mandy score makes his own 'science fiction music' from a Philip K. Dick lecture, with Jim Jarmusch, Cyro Baptista and Charmaine Lee.
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…
Word Countdown (Book)
World Countdown was an enigmatic music newspaper that appeared fortnightly in California between August 1966 and July 1969. It offers the most vivid window possible onto the rapid evolution of the Californian music scene in those fabled days – but original copies are very rare and expensive.
For the first time ever, Lansdowne Books is delighted to be able to preserve and share its wondrous contents in this huge volume, created with the blessing of founding editor Charles Royal’s family and inclu…
Confitures de Gagaku
Jean Derome's written music for a Montreal ensemble of flutes, clarinets and saxophones with bass, drums and percussion, recorded at Studio Victor in 1988. Composed jazz with a nod, in the title, to Japanese court music.
Small Talk At 125th And Lenox
A New Black Poet: Gil Scott-Heron's first record, 1970, a book of poems read in front of an audience with three percussionists, Eddie Knowles, Charlie Saunders and David Barnes, produced by Bob Thiele. The first version of The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, Whitey on the Moon, and the title piece.
Reference: Miles Davis’ 2nd Quintet Live 1967 in Europe
The Second Quintet with Shorter, Hancock, Carter and Williams on its autumn 1967 European tour: Antwerp, Copenhagen, Paris and Karlsruhe on three CDs, restored by Michael Brändli, with an essay by Art Lange.
Plays For Trane Vol. 2
Follow up to 2020's Plays For Trane, this is Plays For Trane Vol. 2. The band dives further into John Coltrane's catalog, turning it inside out, bending it, holding it with care. Forkelid, together with Mattias Ståhl, David Stackenäs, Vilhelm Bromander and Jon Fält, revisit the jazz giant in a celebrated transformation, reimagining the sounds of John Coltrane.
Ampersand Curve
»Ampersand Curve« initiates a brilliant new phase of work by North Manchester’s most elusive artist, best known as Michael J. Blood. His string of ruffkut club bangers, as well as jams with Rat Heart & Samizdat over the past seven years, have made his records a true cult property, and now find him signed to one of the UK’s most foundational techno imprints – more of which later this year.
But under the Sees aegis, he swims in very different waters, following his instincts to use the studio-as-in…
Regelmasken (LP)
2010 split LP released on Kommissar Hjuler's Domestic Violence Recordings in an edition of 177 hand-numbered copies with paste-on cover.
Yours Sincerely
With Yours Sincerely, Haruomi Hosono turns a lifetime of musical wandering toward compassion, memory and the unknown. Tender psych-folk and bubbling avant-pop frame his first new collection in seven years, while female voices open fresh emotional territory. Rather than settling into legacy, he makes curiosity the engine of a quietly adventurous renewal.
Haulitorni
Two side-long improvisations recorded in a spring evening beneath a 1908 shot tower. That is the whole record, and it is enough. Fysiikka ja Kemia - Physics and Chemistry - surfaced in late 2025 with Biologia, a debut LP on Tampere's Ultraääni Records that the label summed up in a single line: rural psych-jazz improvisations by the Finnish bastard sons of Arbete & Fritid. Three hundred copies, each sleeve screen-printed by hand by the band, gone quickly. We Jazz picked a track for their Friends …
Macabre Visions
*100 copies limited edition* Founded by Moreno Daldosso in 1992, Murder Corporation emerged during a crucial transitional period for the Italian industrial underground. The ritualistic and experimental tendencies that had characterized many projects of the 1980s were progressively mutating into harsher territories shaped by power electronics, death industrial, noise extremism and transgressive performance aesthetics. Within this shifting environment, Murder Corporation rapidly developed a distin…
In Fiesta
More than sixty years after its original recording, a masterpiece that has captivated audiences around the world is reborn on an analog mono pressing with truly powerful sound.
Vento Sul
A holy grail! This is one of Marcos Valle's best-ever albums – and it's certainly the one to best realize the larger scope he was heading for in the years after the bossa – that sublime mix of jazz and more expansive arrangements – a perfect fit for the growing sophistication of Valle's songwriting. The record is fantastic – done with a sweeping sound that still leaves us breathless after all these years – and put together with an approach to composition that is virtually indescribable. There's …
