Dogon A.D.
One of the most important jazz albums of the 1970s - finally on vinyl in its definitive edition. Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. is the missing link between the avant-garde and the blues, between the cotton fields and outer space. Recorded on a freezing February day in 1972 at Oliver Sain's Archway Studios in St. Louis - no heat, malfunctioning equipment, some musicians didn't even show up - and yet what emerged was nothing short of a masterpiece. An "almost accidental classic" that has haunted col…
Spacemen 3 Vinyl - (Extended Edition) (Book)
In Spacemen 3 Vinyl – Extended Edition, Danny Passarella assembles the definitive visual chronicle of Sonic Boom and J Spaceman’s recorded universe: a lavish, full‑colour archive of global pressings, ephemera and new interviews that turns their vinyl trail into a tactile, time‑spanning narrative.
The New Backwards
"The New Backwards" was conceived by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson in 2007, revisiting stray tracks which hadn't seemed to gel with the material he had chosen for the more somber "Ape of Naples" from 2005, Coil's initial posthumous release, a sort of requiem and a kiss-goodbye to his then recently deceased partner John Balance. Significantly different to its sister release, this album collects the brilliantly chaotic and outrageously rhythmic material from the original sessions for the album tha…
Love's Secret Domain
In 1991 Coil released the third of their early classic full-length albums "Love's Secret Domain", seemingly casting aside the gloom and funereal beauty of its predecessors in favour of a painstakingly multi-layered hallucinogenic electronic beast, which unlike some of their fellow ex-industrial contemporaries' releases of the time wasn't an attempt at easy accessibility or (the-gods-forbid) danceability, but a vibrating psychedelic masterpiece unrivalled in their discography and still a landmark…
Extra Stars
Extra Stars is a deeply beautiful expression of Gregory Uhlmann’s ever-evolving sound world, and comes at a pivotal juncture in the LA-based composer, producer, guitarist and multi-instrumentalist’s musical journey.
Fiire
* Edition of 150 * A short blast and a fitting coda. Organum Electronics' Fiire is the first - and quite possibly the last - appearance of David Jackman's harsh electronic project on vinyl. Released on Die Stadt in a limited edition of 150 copies on black vinyl, it arrives as a companion piece to the Das Kreuz 7" released under Jackman's own name, the two singles together forming an epilogue to the monumental seven-album CD subscription series that unfolded on the label between 2023 and 2025.

Portico Quartet / Hania Rani
Portico Quartet / Hania Rani brings the singular Polish pianist and composer, Hania Rani, and East-London based widescreen minimalists, Portico Quartet, together for a unique collaboration. The idea was simple, each artist would rework one of each other's tunes. The result is a beautiful collaborative work that feel less like straight forward remixes and more like a new recording that brings the two acts distinctive sound worlds to a new place. The first track to be shared is Hania Rani - Nest (…

Phew
Why did so many of the world’s most forward-thinking musicians gravitate toward Conny Plank’s studio at that time? Released in 1981, Phew was recorded at the legendary Conny’s Studio—home to seminal works by Kraftwerk, Neu!, D.A.F., and Brian Eno—featuring Phew, formerly of Aunt Sally.
The album brings together Can members Holger Czukay and Jaki Liebezeit, whose contributions, combined with Plank’s masterful engineering and Czukay’s innovative editing techniques, result in a strikingly original …
L’Oreille Voleuse
On L’oreille Voleuse, Brunhild Ferrari opens her archive of “ear memories” to Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke, who treat her magnetic-tape recollections as a living landscape, improvising a drifting, prismatic electroacoustic Hörspiel about time, listening, and theft as tender attention.
Wheel of life
*300 copies limited edition* Wheel of Life is the new LP by Japanese hurdy-gurdy artist Tomo, released via Knotwilg Records. Following Vieille-Electronica, the record dives further into a singular blend of drone, folk and minimal experimentation. Rooted in Breton tradition yet shaped by influences from Japan, India and medieval music, Wheel of Life unfolds as a timeless and hypnotic work. Tomo’s playing moves between fragile intimacy and raw, almost punk-like build-ups. Music that lingers and re…
Convergence: Live In China
On Convergence: Live In China, William Hooker and John King turn a Shenzhen stage into a pressure chamber, stretching one unbroken hour of drums and guitar from whispering tension to volcanic release in a charged act of real‑time communication.
Senza Sapere Niente Di Lei
Senza Sapere Niente di Lei (1969, Luigi Comencini) is one of the first scores composed by Ennio Morricone, for a Giallo film, just ahead of the great season of the cult Italian thriller genre forged by Dario Argento. The soundtrack perfectly mirrors the philosophy behind the Morricone Segreto series, not only for its extraordinary dark-tinged and psychedelic vibes, but also because of the rarity of the score, which has surprisingly remained unreleased on vinyl (with the exception of two tracks i…
Spirit Catcher
On Spirit Catcher, Wadada Leo Smith moves between luminous small‑group ritual and radical chamber experiment, setting airy trumpet-and-vibes lyricism against the austere blaze of a muted horn surrounded by three harps.
Recordings 1981-1999
In The Nursery is the Sheffield-based project built around twin brothers Klive and Nigel Humberstone, who have been making music together since 1981 when they formed a trio with guitarist Anthony Bennett. The group emerged from the same Sheffield scene that produced Clock DVA and connected with Cabaret Voltaire, releasing their first record in June 1983 on Paragon and aligning initially with the UK's post-industrial underground. The Temper EP of 1985 was ferociously harsh, built from grinding me…
Avalon Sutra
At the time of release in 2005 Avalon Sutra was reported to be California-born American minimalist composer and pianist Harold Budd’s last recorded work. Avalon Sutra (released as a 2 disc set) is a suite of short, heartbreaking ambient pieces, featuring Budd’s delicate piano improvisations, lush string arrangements and warm electronic drones. The second disc (As Long As I Can Hold My Breath) features a startling coda by LA based electronic composer Akira Rabelais, sending Budd’s arrangements in…
Thealonian Music
Ash Wednesday is an Australian musician from Adelaide who arrived at the late 1970s Melbourne post-punk scene via the proto-punk group JAB, whose tracks appeared on the Suicide Records compilation Lethal Weapons, and then via The Models, a band he co-founded with Sean Kelly that would later become a chart-topping pop group while Wednesday himself moved in a very different direction. His experimental work from the early 1980s unfolded across several parallel projects: solo electronic pieces; Mode…
Métaphysique Du Hit-Parade
I first encountered Pascal Comelade’s music thirty years ago—and nothing has sounded quite the same since. I was immediately captivated: he is an artist like no other, whose sincere and selfless love of music is always evident, especially in his tender reworkings of other people’s songs. Comelade seems to work like a watchmaker: meticulous, precise, and obsessive—yet always drifting into something dreamlike. His music opens hidden doors, telling strange and beguiling stories filled with obscurit…
