Treatise by Cornelius Cardew
*2026 stock* For this collection of live performances, we approached Treatise not just as a score, but as a piece of visual art—an abstract landscape that drew us in with its raw graphic beauty. We felt compelled to translate it into sound using our instruments, while also engaging with the work on its own terms. In researching Cardew’s notes and his Treatise Handbook, it became clear that he didn’t intend the piece to be an open-ended free-for-all. Rather, he encouraged performers to develop a …
At The Emerald Pool
Netherlands-based artists Tomo Katsurada (Ex-Kikagaku Moyo / Future Days Radio) and Jonny Nash (Melody As Truth) combine forces for an exploration into the sonic potential of the guitar duo, rooted in their experiences performing together over the last 12 months. Friends and admirers of each other’s work for a decade, their musical collaboration began in 2024 with Katsurada asking Nash to contribute guitar to his debut EP ‘Dream Of The Egg’. Sensing the need to explore this further, they spent t…

Till Human Voices Wake Us
*150 copies limited edition* Originally released in 2014 on cassette and digital only, Till Human Voices Wake Us was the first album by the Iranian artist on Umor Rex.

The Voice of the Eagle
“I don’t call a lot of my stuff far out,” Basho explained. “I just call it a different level of feeling. It’s far in, as far as I’m concerned...I spent years on the road singing folk songs that had no meaning. It dawned on me music is supposed to say something. Music is supposed to do something.” This is a Basho vocal album – his singing, which John Fahey described as “strangely compelling”, came straight from the heart and soul with no regard for restraint, phrasing or timing. Thankfully, he wa…
High Contrast
This 1971 album by the Hungarian jazz guitarist Gábor Szabó is a smooth jazz-fusion record blending psychedelic jazz, pop, and Latin influences. It includes one of Szabó’s best-known tracks, "Breezin’", later famously reworked by George Benson. The album is marked by melodic guitar lines, cinematic arrangements, and a polished, atmospheric sound typical of early-70s jazz fusion. Szabo also delivers a few stellar originals, showcasing his signature fusion of Hungarian folk music, jazz, psychedeli…
Affenstunde
A foundational record. The opening chapter of one of the most singular spiritual journeys in European music. Esoteric returns Affenstunde, the 1970 debut of Popol Vuh, to vinyl on July 31st, 2026, freshly cut at AIR Studios in London, with the original cover artwork restored and an accompanying poster. When Florian Fricke brought a Moog III modular synthesiser into a Munich studio in 1970, alongside percussionist Holger Trülzsch and engineer Frank Fiedler, he was working with one of only a handf…
What Color Is Love
The 1972 masterpiece by Chicago singer-songwriter and guitarist Terry Callier, returning here in the Music On Vinyl 180g audiophile edition. Cut at the heart of Callier's tenure on Cadet, the jazz imprint of Chess Records, What Color Is Love stands as the artistic peak of his collaboration with arranger and producer Charles Stepney, captured across three Cadet albums, Occasional Rain (1972), What Color Is Love and I Just Can't Help Myself (1974), plus a fourth project that was cut short by Stepn…
Manifestations In The Shadow Of An Uncertain Land
Manifestations in the Shadow of an Uncertain Land unfolds through aleatoric composition and intuitive process, shaped by deeply entangled political and aesthetic lineages. Rooted in lived experiences of bodies and minds navigating the localized and global weight of imperialism, the work also draws from the temporal logic of film and literature, where memory, dread, and anticipation coexist. Working with voice and modular electronics, Lowe treats sound as a sculptural and cinematic force, informe…
Pareidolia
Named after the tendency to impose familiar likenesses, such as faces, on random - usually inanimate - objects, Pareidolia is Jake Muir's way of interpreting the consonances between so-called “ambient” music and extreme heavy metal. Extracting the headiest, most atmospheric sections from hundreds of death metal and black metal tracks, Muir plays the role of both DJ and electroacoustic composer, concocting a lysergic elixir of fractal distortions and prolonged, decelerated riffs that slowly evapo…
A Distracted God
Clear Vinyl. For more than six decades, Beatriz Ferreyra has been building worlds out of sound. Born in Córdoba in 1937 and based in France since the early 1960s, the Argentine composer entered the GRM at the invitation of Pierre Schaeffer in 1963, contributing alongside him to the foundational texts and recordings that would define an entire discipline of listening, among them the Solfège de l'Objet Sonore. From 1970 onward she has worked independently, composing in absolute fidelity to her own…
Descenes and Discords: An Anthology (Book)
Limited to 800 copies! Each book is numbered and signed by the author. Large format book. Descenes and Discords: An Anthology is a powerful time capsule of the birth and evolution of punk music through the pages of two influential fanzines: Descenes and Discords. These publications, originally printed and distributed in Washington, D.C. during the late 1970s and early 1980s, captured the raw energy, irreverent spirit, and revolutionary ethos of the underground music scene - first local, then nat…
Dedans / Dehors
An exercise in musique concrète in the Luc Ferrari sense: not soundscape, not reportage, but the deliberate assemblage by montage and superposition of recorded sequences drawn from disparate origins, composed into a continuity that functions as sonic narrative. Meirino and Duplant arrange and contradict their sources so that the listener has to construct the story: recognition of materials and interpretation of their succession become themselves part of the compositional event.
Resonance of Time
Electronic lullabies and folk songs from Ethiopia! A landmark recording from Ethiopia’s vibrant cassette era of the 1980s, Resonance of Time features pioneering composer Wesenyeleh Mebreku reimagining Ethiopian folk melodies through the humble circuitry of an early Casiotone keyboard. Historically, the works featured on Resonance of Time (የጊዜ ቃና Yegizie Kana) stand as quiet documents of Ethiopian musical memory. Many of the original songs included in this release emerged during important moments…
So Far / It's a Bit of Pain
First reissue of Faust's only 7", originally released only in Germany, France, and the UK in 1972. This reissue bears the original artwork and was remastered by Faust member Hans-Joachim Irmler from the original recordings. Both tracks are non-LP versions. It is said that "It's a Bit of Pain" was John Peel's favorite Faust track. Archive your music on vinyl! "So Far’ is an instrumental: a simple rhythm chugs along, a sax stabs away, guitars and synth wail in and out. It’s a mesmerising drone, th…
Malarial Dream
On Malarial Dream, Alvarius B. drifts out of Cairo with a fevered, mostly instrumental songbook that bends late‑period Sun City Girls melancholy through Middle Eastern modes, psych‑warped folk and the quiet volatility of a hand‑picked Cairo/avant‑jazz ensemble.
Via Lactea
Mexican rock had a strong renaissance in the eighties, when most bands, majorly coming from the prog scene, turned to Spanish language again. One of the big acts from that era was Jorge Reyes' led Chac Mool. Chac Mool counted on its ranks with Carlos Alvarado, who was an accomplished musician on its own and who would record one of the most interesting electronic prog albums of the era, on which Reyes also collaborated. Originally released on mexican private label Momia in 1980. "Carlos Alvarado'…
Lung Oysters
Super Limited edition. Housed in heavy gauge single sleeve with insert on transparent aqua marine vinyl. The legendary Nurse With Wound, helmed by the visionary Steven Stapleton, returns with Living Oysters, a mesmerizing collaboration with Irish experimental musician Diarmuid Mac Diarmada. This limited edition vinyl release presents a heady freerange mix of krautrock, experimental and toe tapping psychedelia, leaning towards a slightly more rock orientated sound that pushes the project into exc…
Kite
*200 copies limited edition* Mysterious lycanthrope and sound-explorer from Gothenburg, Sweden and surrounding forests - behind the name Ratvader is the composer Oscar Sidoff Rydelius. Discreet Music crossed paths with Oscar for the first time during 2025, a chance meeting that resulted in the enchanting 14-track album Kite now released on Gustaf Dickssons in-house imprint Frihetens Förlag. Evocative and strangely moving soundtrack-style compositions that at times feels like the medieval bastard…
