Jazz Sur Seine
A fantastic early recording from the great French tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen – best known as an artist who recorded famously in the soundtrack world of the French new wave, and with Art Blakey – but who's even more striking here on a rare small combo date from the 50s! The session's a monster – cut with rhythmic backing by Milt Jackson on piano (!?), Percy Heath on bass, and Kenny Clarke on drums – and two cuts feature additional percussion by Gana M'Bow, which gives the set a wonderful kick…
Riff Raff
Released in 1972, Riff Raff is a bold statement from a British prog quartet exploring the intersection of rock and jazz-inflected textures. The album moves between blues-tinged grooves, melodic prog passages, and expansive jazzy-rock moments, all anchored by tight rhythms, expressive guitar, and organ flourishes. Standout tracks like the opener and La Même Chose show off the band’s adventurous spirit, balancing precision with spontaneity. Though the variety of songwriters gives the album a loose…
Songs of Electronic Despair
Black Vinyl. Limited to only 350 copies. Anroid Sisters’s Songs of Electronic Despair is a cult classic of experimental synth-pop and cosmic satire, reissued by Wah Wah Records in a lovingly restored edition. Conceived by audio visionary Thomas M. Lopez (aka Meatball Fulton), founder of the ZBS Foundation, the Android Sisters originated as characters in the acclaimed sci-fi audio drama Ruby the Galactic Gumshoe, blending noir, comedy, and science fiction into a unique radio universe.

Bangor Flying Circus
Bangor Flying Circus, the self-titled debut from the short-lived but influential Chicago progressive rock trio, is a striking document of late-1960s American psychedelia and ambitious musicianship. Formed in mid-1967 and active through 1969, Bangor Flying Circus brought together seasoned players from the Shadows of Knight and H.P. Lovecraft to create a sound that bridged blues-rooted rock, baroque psychedelia, and forward-looking progressive arrangements.
Recorded and released during a moment of…
Double String Trios
John McGuire’s Double String Trios brings together three substantial works for paired string trios composed between 2012 and 2021 and conducted by Axel Lindner. The project originated when Walter Zimmermann invited Bernd Härpfer of Initiative Musik und Informatik Köln – GIMIK e.V. to arrange a concert premiere marking McGuire’s 80th birthday.
McGuire’s musical language was forged in the electronic studios of postwar Cologne, shaped by studies with Karlheinz Stockhausen and Krzysztof Penderecki, …
America's Greatest Noise (Book)
The next book on Korm Plastics contains no photographs of the artists, no list of released records, no pictures of record sleeves, and no footnotes. It is not a hardcover, not on glossy paper and is not expensive. It’s… ‘America’s Greatest Noise’ tells the story of Ron Lessard, owner of RRRecords, a record store in Lowell, Massachusetts and, from 1986 to 2009, a record label, releasing the albums of Blackhouse, F/i, PGR, the first Merzbow LP outside Japan and many more, regional compilations, th…
Kartoffel-Opera
Edition of 150. This ultra-limited 7" presents the first audio documentation of Henning Christiansen's Potato Opera, a conceptual masterwork that stands among the most radical gestures in Fluxus history. Originally performed in 1969 at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, this piece embodies the radical questioning of musical convention that defined the post-1968 avant-garde. The inaugural performance in 1969 brought together Henning Christiansen with artist Lene Adler Petersen and painter Ursula Reute…
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.
Another Perfect Day
Eight years since his last solo electric guitar record. Bill Orcutt returns to what made his playing essential: slashing chords, frenzied double-picking, angular runs that climb and ricochet. Recorded live at Cafe OTO. No computer loops. No gentle melodic glow. Just Orcutt and his four-string Fender through a tattered Twin Reverb.
