Live Rope
Originally released in November 2024 as a physical only, limited edition physical boxset, Swans’ Live Rope is now being made on CD at retail. A document of the band’s US/EU 2023-24 live tours, this material laid the blueprint for the band’s most recent studio album, Birthing, released May 2025. Spanning almost 3 hours of trance-inducing melodies that morph into dense walls of sound, the album is anchored by Gira’s unmistakable vocals and crafted with longtime collaborators on lap steel, bass, Me…
Zero Talk
Two of experimental music's most uncompromising minds, together at last, and never once in direct contact. Kevin Drumm and Taku Unami made Zero Talk without ever speaking to each other. It started in late 2024, when producer Jon Abbey asked Unami to master Drumm's Sheer Hellish Miasma II. Unami was thrilled: Drumm is his favorite musician. Drumm loved the result. Even then, the two never really talked, Abbey spoke to each of them separately. In mid 2025 Abbey proposed a collaborative Erst. Both …

Grim and far reaching, this 2XLP moves at its own pace and draws the listener in with its slow, dark amble. Channeling both the natural and industrial wo…
Himawari
Meditative synthesizer work from former Ippu-Do keyboardist Akira Mitake. Created as soundtrack for NHK's 1987 documentary series on Japanese art history, Himawari represents a masterful exercise in restraint and space. Following the dissolution of his new wave partnership with Masami Tsuchiya, Mitake turns inward, crafting minimal electronic pieces that capture the essence of traditional Japanese aesthetics through modern means. Sparse keyboards and subtle pads create atmospheric textures throu…

Keith Tippett: Mujician
Bomb! 328 pages hard-cover book, large format + 2CD of previously unreleased recordings. Keith Tippett (1947-2020) occupies a singular place in the history of British improvised music - a pianist of extraordinary range whose work moved fluidly between free jazz, large-scale orchestral composition, and solo improvisation of rare depth. Born in Bristol and trained first as a chorister, Tippett arrived in London in the late 1960s and rapidly established himself as a central figure in the city's cr…

The Black Ark
Huuuge Tip! In the pantheon of classic free jazz, Noah Howard's The Black Ark looms large. Recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City in 1969 - just prior to the alto saxophonist's relocation to Europe - the album was eventually released in 1972 on Alan Bates's Freedom label, and has since acquired near-mythical status among collectors and devotees of the music. Now, Superior Viaduct presents the definitive remastered edition on vinyl, restoring this landmark to the visibility it has always…
Coraje Buenos Aire
Killer unreleased 1973 post-bop, avant jazz album from Argentina, with highly political texts. The missing link in Argentina's jazz history finally sees the light. Coraje Buenos Aires was recorded in 1973, conceived as a follow-up to the historic Bronca Buenos Aires (1971). More explicitly than its predecessor, the texts in Coraje denounced the atrocities of the military junta that ruled the country, and the album was inevitably censored before being released. The tapes, thought to have been bur…
