Early 70's re-pressing on Philips of the adventurous groovy electro-aacoustic psychedelic music for a ballet by Maurice Béjart with the addition of excerpts from other three nasterpieces from the 1960's (Le Voyage. La Reine Verte, Variations Pour Une Porte Et Un Soupir). Like all Pierre Henry's output, beautiful music and essential record.

First time reissue of this forgotten gem from Don Cherry. This unsung album is only known by hardcore fans of Don cherry who considered it as one of his best effort. Heavenly Sweetness do it again! This album was recorded in 1978 in Paris and released only in France in 1981. That was the first meeting between Don Cherry and Indian percussionist Latif Khan and the result is an incredible mixture of jazz and Indian music.

This album continues the ongoing posthumous excavation of Bryn Jones’ vast and politically charged body of work, offering listeners a fresh immersion into his unique blend of ethnic electronica, dub, and tape-based soundscapes.
Muslimlahore presents a suite of tracks that reflect Muslimgauze’s enduring fascination with South Asian and Islamic themes, …
*2025 stock* Monument from Swedish composer Lisa Stenberg was composed during residency in Athens with additional recordings in Osnabrück, originally commissioned by the art festival documenta 14, as part of a collaboration between KSYME CMRC, documenta 14, Elektronmusikstudion and Fylkingen, to restore and reactivate KSYME-CMRC’s rare synthesizer EMS Synthi 100 that had not been in working condition for more than 20 years.

Absolutely fantastic 1981 composition for 5 choirs, 2 double basses, 2 percussionists, 2 kettledrums and electronic tape, released on Harmonia Mundi's "Evénement / Musique française d'aujourd'hui" series in 1984.
Vangelis most experimental album, from 1985 on Deutsche Grammophon, an absolute electro-acoustic masterpiece closer to the electronic avant-garde than to his 'cosmic' electronic output.
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* Third and final album of the first Deviants, released in 1969 by The Deviants, led by Mick Farren, a key figure in the Notting Hill Gate area of the British underground. A highly artistic piece of work, a jumble and concoction of rock, art, pop, avant-garde music and more. Mick Phalen is also a dark novelist, and his wide-eyed view of the world is unique. Paper jacket, SH…
*Please note, this is a vinyl only release. There is no digital download at all. Just the vinyl* Few bands carry the weight of history with such light-footed grace as Träd, Gräs och Stenar. More than just a group, they are a living conduit for the currents of collective expression, resistance, and transcendence that have defined Sweden’s underground music landscape since the late 1960s. Their sound—raw, organic, and untamed—has pulsed through decades, defying the strictures of genre and time, th…
From out of the dark, the crackle of feed back birdsong signals a return to the land of sound environments exclusive to the music of Rafael Toral. A year and a half after his epochal electric guitar album, Spectral Evolution, Traveling Light finds him sharpening his focus, moving boldly from abstract forms to concrete compositions in the form of a set of jazz standards. Based on Toral’s discography, this may seem an unlikely endeavor, but happily, Traveling Light transpires to be one of the majo…
Xenakis's 1971 long wild 'noise' electronic masterpiece on Philips' silver covers "Prospective 21e Siècle" series. Rare and absolutely essential. Grey cover version with green labels.
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** "Languishing off-catalogue for many years, McCoy Tyner's Extensions may be the pianist's most unjustly neglected album. Strange days, for not only is the music ineffably vibrant, but Extensions is the only recording ever to feature Tyner alongside pianist and harpist Alice Coltrane, who replaced him in saxophonist John Coltrane's group in 1966. The album has one foot in the echoes of John Coltrane's "classic quartet," of which Tyner was a member from 1960-65, and…
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** After his six years with the seminal John Coltrane Quartet, the master drummer Elvin Jones signed with Blue Note in 1968 and began building his own career as a bandleader. His first two albums for the label were spare trio outings—Puttin’ It Together and The Ultimate—both featuring saxophonist Joe Farrell and bassist Jimmy Garrison. For his next album—1969’s unfettered post-bop exploration Poly-Currents—Jones expanded his ensemble with additional woodwinds and pe…
Tip! Tip! Tip! Just after the summer post-rock madness of “The Window” in their band HWYUIOD, Shelter & Orion are back with dub versions of Orion Music Workshop’s previous records. Deconstructed or reconstructed in an industrial, post-punk aesthetic, recalling whole On-U Sound golden age (Adrian Sherwood, Mark Stewart, African Head Charge…) as well as Craig Leon, Sheriff Lindo… and more.
*155 copies limited edition* »Hug of Gravity« is the second solo album by Raphael Loher and his first for Hallow Ground. The Swiss pianist and composer uses piano preparations, tape machines, and digital means to forge an aesthetic of playful reduction and rhythmic abstraction. The source material for these four sprawling pieces was culled from recordings of the artist performing the album’s predecessor, 2022’s »Keemuun.« Loher used them in a painstaking two-part working process to create an alb…
