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…

Mannyoka
**2026 Stock ** Japanese free/jazz sax legend, Kaoru Abe, dies at the age of only 29 in 1978, living a fast and crazy life and dieing of a drug overdose.

Twenty-Two
On Twenty‑Two, Initials MB offers a quietly psychedelic slice of French pop that feels like a faded postcard from another decade. Reissued on vinyl a decade after its digital birth, the album folds jangling guitars, analogue keys and wistful melodies into compact songs that trace one songwriter’s search for sound, place and identity.
Percussions
On Percussions, Saint Tropez Orchestra turn the drum kit into a bandleader, spreading 20 compact cuts across a spectrum of funk, library jazz and tropical pulse. Every arrangement is built from the skin outward, making rhythm the song’s spine, flesh and nervous system all at once.
Ginparis Session
For the better part of the 50s and 60s, Masayuki Takayanagi was among Japan's best-respected jazz guitarists. But it wasn't until his experiments with tabletop guitar led him down the seductive path of sonic experimentation that he became the stuff of legend. “Ginparis” (literally translated as Silver Paris) was known as the chanson cafe in Tokyo, Ginza, and the performances often centred around chansons but eventually became the session venue for young jazz musicians. They left their mark on a…
Mort a Credit
Mort à Credit shows Kaoru Abe in a fascinating period of transition, moving forth to something complexly and identifiably new, yet intransigently rooted in what had come before. It consists of two alto improvs from a show on October 18, 1975, and five more (three on alto, two on sopranino) from another performance a couple of days earlier. Released by Kojima on 2LP in 1976, it can be said to mark a significant change in Abe's style. Abe is here a little soften from his usual urgency - this can p…

Zen Experience in Music
Edition of 70 copies. Atmospheric home recordings by conservatoire deviant Valentina Goncharova on electric violin.

Sonor
For a few fleeting moments during a sunset, the sky is cast a vivid shade of amber. A dramatic flare of colour, a moment belonging to both the day and the night. It is within this vibrant, ephemeral world, that Mongolian-born, Munich-based Enji has written her new album Sonor. Sonor is a record full of life and optimism, from an artist finding the beauty of existing between two worlds, much as a sunset does. Between the cultures of Mongolia and Germany, tradition and innovation, nostalgia and ex…
Wigmore Hall 1968
*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 visionary free jazz saxophonists of the 20th century - a rare artist whose voice stood apart even among giants. Born in Copenhagen to a Danish mother and a Congolese father, his path to New York came through a chance encounter at a socialist youth festival in Helsinki, where Bill Dixon and Archie Shepp heard him play and urged him to make the mo…
Das Kreuz
* Edition of 150 * The other side of the coin. Where its companion single, Organum Electronics' Fiire, delivers compressed walls of metallic noise, David Jackman's Das Kreuz strips everything back to a handful of quiet, elemental sounds - and in doing so arrives at something close to the essence of his recent work under his own name.
Across the two tracks, the music unfolds with the stillness of an overheard moment: birdsong, the cry of crows, the strike of a distant bell, and behind it all, a r…
