Duos Auf Präparierten Instrumenten
Munich's legendary experimental ensemble Phren - active since 1968! First vinyl since 1989! Founded by Michael Kopfermann, the group developed a radical approach to prepared instruments and noise-tone synthesis, rejecting the limitations of tempered tuning. This LP documents the duo of Carmen Nagel-Berninger (prepared viola) and Inge Salcher (prepared flugelhorn) - recordings from 2010 and 2018 showing decades of refined practice. Gut strings, unusual tunings, extended techniques. A living tradi…

Circular Temple
"On a good day it is strenuous to stay current with pianist Matthew Shipp's imposing and voluminous output. On an even better day it is a fool's hardy errand to say the least. Now with the planned re-issuing of some of his great early deconstructions of musical thought and theory, starting here with 1990's daringly incongruous yet hypnotically accessible, Circular Temple, keeping up just got a whole lot harder. With William Parker on bass and Whit Dickey on drums, this four-movement suite for pi…
A Message From A Tribe Boxset
Super Tip! *Cover design A* Tribe’s inaugural release in 1972 would see three editions released in as many years. 1972’s first edition featured a photo of the ocean on the front, the following year’s second edition had a drawing of the Earth, while 1974’s third edition had a colorful illustration of Tribe founders Wendell Harrison and Phil Ranelin’s faces. Each version is unique.
A Message From The Tribe 1st version (LP + 7")
The inaugural release from Tribe is getting its first ever analog reis…
Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millennium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors! Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents.
Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping…
Legendary Live Collection Of Hijokaidan Vol. 7
A DVD of Hijokaidan's most notorious concert, filmed at Osaka's Eggplant in 1989. Long the stuff of legend, it documents the performance-art extreme of the group's early shows, footage judged too transgressive for their major-label retrospective box. The King of Noise at their most confrontational.
Elyria Sound
On Elyria Sound, Michael A. Muller reduces his language to one guitar, one room, one storm‑lit reel of tape, turning newly invented tunings into a hushed cycle of lullabies and laments that hold both the comfort of home and the certainty of its passing.
Hot Five & Hot Seven at 100
On Hot Five & Hot Seven at 100, Louis Armstrong’s seminal Chicago sides are reborn in vivid new mastering, letting his trumpet solos, daring rhythms and easy charisma speak afresh as the very moment jazz pivots into a true soloist’s art.
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.
Black Tape II
Black Tape II is only the second widely available release by Ohkami No Jikan (The Time of the Wolf), one of the more esoteric groups of the 1990’s Tokyo underground. Recorded in 1992, it illuminates a largely undocumented facet of Nanjo Asahito’s psychedelic cosmology, distinct form his better known work with High Rise, Musica Transonic and Toho Sara. Aside from a handful of limited, handmade cassettes and CD-Rs on his La Musica label, there’s only been one Ohkami No Jikan album, Mort Nuit, that…
My Song
My Song is the beloved high point of the so-called "European" or "Belonging" quartet led by pianist Keith Jarrett, and one of the most cherished albums in the ECM catalogue. Recorded in 1977, it unites Jarrett with three of Scandinavia's finest musicians: saxophonist Jan Garbarek, bassist Palle Danielsson and drummer Jon Christensen, a band whose chemistry was extraordinary. Where Jarrett's contemporaneous American quartet leaned toward fire and abstraction, the European group cultivated a more …
The Pain of Separation: Turkish Gazels, 1926-1935
A collection of spellbinding, melismatic vocal improvisations taken from 78s cut between the mid 1920s to mid '30s - a period defined by the aftermath of the Ottoman Empire’s partition, the Greco-Turkish War and the compulsory population exchange that followed. This same period also represented a time of intense efforts, following the establishment of the Republic, to westernise the new nation's music - coupled with a ban on traditional music education in schools, and later a complete ban on bro…
Astral Disaster (Prescription versions)
3LP triple set featuring all the Prescription versions and the newly created AD II artworks by Steven Stapleton. The booklet features all lyrics, extensive liner notes and sheds light on the interesting circumstances of the creation of this Coil release by Gary Ramon who not only instigated the sessions but also provided the haunting location for their recordings. Has been respectfully and expertly remastered by grammy-nominated Jessica Thompson. Artwork by Steven Stapleton design & layout by Ol…
Tatemono
*150 copies limited edition* Tomoyoshi Date and Stijn Hüwels met for the first time in 2015 in Tokyo, being introduced to each other by Chihei Hatakeyama. That same evening, they recorded what would later become Hochu-Ekki-Tou, their first album, released on Home Normal in 2019, followed by 遠き火、遠き雲 (A Distant Fire, A Distant Cloud) in 2021 on Laaps. Tomoyoshi Date creates acoustic and organic sounds with a little touch of digital processing. He began to create electronic music in 1998. In 2003, …
Tenshi No Gijinka
Keiji Haino's ritualistic 1995 album features nine untitled pieces of voice and percussion. The Japanese avant-garde master creates meditative spaces through drones, cymbal crashes, and gargled vocals, building esoteric rituals that explore the inner sounds of existence on Tzadik.
Radio Experiment Rome, February 1981
In Radio Experiment Rome, February 1981, Robert Wyatt dismantles the barriers of song structure in a playful, vulnerable encounter with live radio. Captured in RAI’s studios, this session documents his real-time creative process as fragments of melody, vocal improvisation, and tape trickery mingle in a tapestry of radical intimacy.
Âmes Bleues
Without premeditation nor haste, Omertà re-emerges with its third album, Âmes Bleues (Blue Souls), gracefully deepening its own unique furrow, between lyrically rich songs and singular harmonic explorations. After ambling through the Corsican air currents and immersing itself in smoke, Omertà continues to unfold its geographical and sensory music, seemingly finding its reach in the suspension inherent in the subtle tension it produces.
The group expands its sonic palette with soothing and psyche…
Mannequin
"After Aktor and Quietism last year, the Scotsman is in top form, churning out albums that are stunning in their intelligence and pop refinement. If Mannequin is so good, it's for three main reasons. The first is that Momus has returned from his experiments that saw him playing around with AI or composing K-pop songs. We welcome with delight his return to the basics of a pure and perfect pop characterised by a certain economy of means, a DIY ethos — a synth-pop hodgepodge that suits him perfectl…
