Emile Jacotey
This is one of the cornerstones of French progressive music. Originally issued in 1975, Émile Jacotey is the fourth LP by Ange, the band from Belfort that stood, by the middle of the decade, as the undisputed leaders of the French rock scene - and it remains among the most singular concept albums the era produced anywhere in Europe.
The album's great achievement lies in how it binds together two major cultural currents of 1970s France: the national passion for progressive rock, and what came to …

As I Slip into the Sky
As I Slip Into the Sky reflects a particularly small sliver of time compared to Where the Smoke Goes, with recordings taking place in early 2025, while Johnny Coley was bed-bound in an assisted living facility with multiple sclerosis. Alabama born, Portland based artist Joel Nelson helms the nearly entirely electronic backdrop, posing a new canvas for Johnny, with Buchla music easel bubbling up between Johnny’s lines. This album captures Johnny in a remarkably tender and emotive form. Love and a…
Where the Smoke Goes
We are honored to present the final two LPs from the late Birmingham, AL-based queer poet and artist Johnny Coley, who passed away in 2025 at the age of 76. Tender, lucid, and slippery poems unspool in Johnny’s signature drawl, charting oblique journeys through the sidereal and mundane. He composes painterly landscapes of his beloved Alabama and imagines waking up in the crowded streets of London. This is Southern Surreal story-telling where each new word opens a door to the familiar unexpected.…
Rivbea Live! Series, Volume 2
An extraordinary, previously unheard session by alto saxophonist Arthur Blythe originally recorded on July 6, 1976 in New York City, and performed in the expansive, unconfined environment of the loft jazz movement, delivering remarkable extended solos on alto saxophone. The minimalist ensemble comprises Juni Booth on bass, Steve Reid on drums, and Muhammad Abdullah on conga, devoid of piano or additional horns, allowing Blythe ample opportunity to showcase his improvisational skills. The initial…
Retusa – Santuario de Mariposas
Santuario de Mariposas aims to explore the audio characteristics of musical instruments of pre-Columbian origin. They are complemented by a variety of instruments of an ethnographic order, associated with indigenous groups throughout Mexico. After more than 40 years of atnomusical research, Itxoneztli recorded this album trying to give life to sleeping instruments and reflect what the music of the Mexicas ancestors was like.
V1/V2
Samara Lubelski crafts intricate, fragile sonic worlds—simultaneously delicate and chaotic. Her music explores creation, destruction, and liminality, evoking alien yet lyrical landscapes where every gesture births its opposite, forever shifting between presence and disappearance.
Dialoghi del Presente
Naples, 1977. Luciano Cilio's sole recorded work is pure magic - four "quadri" where strings, woodwinds, wordless voices and solitary guitar trace the edges of silence. Closer to Arvo Pärt and Morton Feldman than to any Italian prog, yet entirely its own universe. Music that breathes, suspends time, breaks your heart without raising its voice. Decades ahead of its time. First ever remaster from the original tapes.
Brazil 84
Brazil 84 is from Phil Niblock’s series “The Movement of People Working.” 16mm, unedited long shots, carefully framed to compress single movements, shot in rural and urban settings, capturing people in their working environments, men and women using their hands and body to an eternal working choreography that seems tuned to the microtonal universe of Niblock’s music. All these images are timeless, they could have been shot today, in the ‘60s or even earlier in the century. All these images…
