To-day's Sound
**2026 Remastered Repress** Gatefold edition with OBI and poster! Recorded in the summer of 1973 on an 8-track Ampex at Sound Work-Shop, the studio Piero Umiliani had built in his own building on Via S. Tommaso d'Aquino in Rome, To-Day's Sound documents a moment when Umiliani had concentrated, in a single eighty-square-metre room, an arsenal of electronic instruments still uncommon in Italian recording at the time: Minimoog, ARP 2600, EMS VCS3, Fender Rhodes, Clavinet, Lowrey organ, Space Echo, …
For Baritone Sax, Double Bass & Drumset
This 2013 meeting of baritone saxophonist Daunik Lazro, bassist Joëlle Léandre, and drummer Paul Lovens is a deep dive into spontaneous creation at the highest level of free improvisation, uniting three of Europe’s most adventurous and seasoned improvisers. Drawing on decades of individual and collaborative experience within the global improvised music scene, the album explores extended dialogues across timbre, texture, and breath, where Lazro’s rich, expressive saxophone language meets Léandre’…
World Rhythms
"In late 1975, Annea Lockwood realised her composition World Rhythms. It represents one of the first creative works exploring the potentials of field recordings in a multichannel setting. It is a landmark work and a composition that, on its 50th anniversary, has gently carried forward over the decades, but arguably now is only starting to come into true focus, and be understood for exactly how revolutionary it was. World Rhythms was a work concerned with a practice of sustained listening into th…

Oaxaca Dawn | Bamboo
**Edition of 250** Elevator Bath's ongoing series of picture disc LPs (each record being adorned with full-color artwork by the recording artist) continues with Tom Recchion's lovely 'Oaxaca Dawn | Bamboo.' Originally slated for release nearly ten years ago, this pair of humble field recordings is now finally available. 'Oaxaca Dawn' and 'Bamboo' are two raw, unadulterated, and unpretentious snapshots of specific moments in time and space: the early morning cracking of dawn in Oaxaca, Mexico and…

On Oakland Coliseum, May 9, 1977, Pink Floyd deliver a legendary "In The Flesh" tour performance, working through Animals and Wish You Were Here before closing with "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" - the last time the band would ever play the explosive 1968 rarity together.
Till Human Voices Wake Us
*150 copies limited edition* Originally released in 2014 on cassette and digital only, Till Human Voices Wake Us was the first album by the Iranian artist on Umor Rex. It became a key work in our catalog, and now, 12 years later, it is available on vinyl for the first time. This is the first in a series of four special, limited reissues to be released in 2026 to mark the 20th anniversary of Umor Rex.
Till Human Voices Wake Us comprises ten tracks with a clear and carefully structured script, bas…
High Contrast
This 1971 album by the Hungarian jazz guitarist Gábor Szabó is a smooth jazz-fusion record blending psychedelic jazz, pop, and Latin influences. It includes one of Szabó’s best-known tracks, "Breezin’", later famously reworked by George Benson. The album is marked by melodic guitar lines, cinematic arrangements, and a polished, atmospheric sound typical of early-70s jazz fusion. Szabo also delivers a few stellar originals, showcasing his signature fusion of Hungarian folk music, jazz, psychedeli…
The Alternative Counter Organization
Taco weaponise the very idea of “tako” - octopus, kite, bunion, drunk, bald head - into a mutating post‑punk organism, a rotating guerrilla cell whose songs behave like incidents rather than compositions.
At The Emerald Pool
Netherlands-based artists Tomo Katsurada (Ex-Kikagaku Moyo / Future Days Radio) and Jonny Nash (Melody As Truth) combine forces for an exploration into the sonic potential of the guitar duo, rooted in their experiences performing together over the last 12 months. Friends and admirers of each other’s work for a decade, their musical collaboration began in 2024 with Katsurada asking Nash to contribute guitar to his debut EP ‘Dream Of The Egg’. Sensing the need to explore this further, they spent t…
So Far / It's a Bit of Pain
First reissue of Faust's only 7", originally released only in Germany, France, and the UK in 1972. This reissue bears the original artwork and was remastered by Faust member Hans-Joachim Irmler from the original recordings. Both tracks are non-LP versions. It is said that "It's a Bit of Pain" was John Peel's favorite Faust track. Archive your music on vinyl! "So Far’ is an instrumental: a simple rhythm chugs along, a sax stabs away, guitars and synth wail in and out. It’s a mesmerising drone, th…
Libelocus-(alpha), Libelocus-(beta), Libelocus-(gamma)
Big tip! Romanian composer, conductor, and musicologist Iancu Dumitrescu is often described as one of the leading figures of spectral music, yet he has produced a body of powerful works resonating with explosive sound and friction that places him very much in his own universe. Dumitrescu studied under his compatriot, the conductor Sergiu Celibidache, who rarely left behind concert recordings. From him Dumitrescu absorbed phenomenology and conducting techniques, incorporating them into his own co…
The Dream Island of Birds
Mike Cooper returns to Discrepant with »The Dream Island of Birds«. Neither documentary nor abstraction, »The Dream Island of Birds« sits between field recording, memory, and invention — an island heard through time and circuitry.
In the early 1990s, Cooper met illustrator and writer Charles van Sandwyk while walking on a small island in Fiji. Van Sandwyk was living there quietly, working from a modest bamboo house near the beach. Years later, Cooper learned that following a serious car accident…
A Distracted God
Clear Vinyl. For more than six decades, Beatriz Ferreyra has been building worlds out of sound. Born in Córdoba in 1937 and based in France since the early 1960s, the Argentine composer entered the GRM at the invitation of Pierre Schaeffer in 1963, contributing alongside him to the foundational texts and recordings that would define an entire discipline of listening, among them the Solfège de l'Objet Sonore. From 1970 onward she has worked independently, composing in absolute fidelity to her own…
Days As Echoes
Bomb! Estonian multi-instrumentalist Misha Panfilov returns with Days As Echoes, a sophomore release that channels the expansive spirit of Krautrock through the lens of contemporary ambient and spiritual jazz. Part of Panfilov's ever-expanding musical universe, the Misha Panfilov Sound Combo delivers six compositions that function as both individual meditations and a cohesive sonic narrative about hope, journey, and human connection. Drawing from an impossibly diverse palette that includes Ethio…
Almost Waking
"Mabe Fratti is a Guatemalan cellist, vocalist, and composer based in Mexico City, celebrated for her experimental yet deeply melodic work. Blending cello, voice, synthesizers, and electroacoustic textures, she builds songs that move between improvisation, ambient soundscapes, and off-kilter pop forms. Emerging from Mexico City's improvisational and experimental scene, she has become a key voice in contemporary avant-pop. Bill Orcutt is an American guitarist and composer known for his raw, highl…
Treatise by Cornelius Cardew
*2026 stock* For this collection of live performances, we approached Treatise not just as a score, but as a piece of visual art—an abstract landscape that drew us in with its raw graphic beauty. We felt compelled to translate it into sound using our instruments, while also engaging with the work on its own terms. In researching Cardew’s notes and his Treatise Handbook, it became clear that he didn’t intend the piece to be an open-ended free-for-all. Rather, he encouraged performers to develop a …
Affenstunde
A foundational record. The opening chapter of one of the most singular spiritual journeys in European music. Esoteric returns Affenstunde, the 1970 debut of Popol Vuh, to vinyl on July 31st, 2026, freshly cut at AIR Studios in London, with the original cover artwork restored and an accompanying poster. When Florian Fricke brought a Moog III modular synthesiser into a Munich studio in 1970, alongside percussionist Holger Trülzsch and engineer Frank Fiedler, he was working with one of only a handf…
Piano Music
Two short pieces built from piano recordings made by Orphax at De Ruimte in Amsterdam Noord during summer 2017. The 7-inch marks a deliberate break with his usual drone vocabulary, foregrounding more openly melodic ambient writing and treating the piano as the primary voice rather than as raw material. One of his most personal works to date, dealing in textural terms with closure, regret and the slow effort of moving on.
I.A.V.C. Tapes
Limited edition of 33 copies in black cardboard boxset. 1980. Working alone from his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, twenty-four years old, equipped with little more than an analogue synthesiser, a tape machine, and a small bank of effects, Maurizio Bianchi closed the chapter of his earlier Sacher-Pelz project and inaugurated, almost overnight, the body of work that would place him at the heart of European industrial music. Across roughly twelve months he produced an extraordinary run of…
