Mysterious, primitive lo-fi ‘pop’ from Swedish enigma Mind Control Hands - was anyone ever meant to hear this?
Something of a needle in a haystack. The depths of the internet are flooded with snippets of information about enigmatic CDrs, often no more than a crusty JPG and a bit of text, if you’re really lucky a single track to listen to. The vast majority are of no interest, but perseverance pays off. Mind Control Hands, originally birthed in the endless sprawl of CD-baby era early 00s micro…

The sounds have not been altered electronically or by other means.

Philadelphia vibraphonist Khan Jamal's 1974 Palm masterpiece receives its first proper reissue. Recorded during Parisian exile, this exploratory album showcases revolutionary vibraphone techniques across four essential tracks - a crucial document of jazz's global underground network.

Remastered LP edition. Finally back in print! Originally released by EMI's Pathé Marconi imprint in 1969, People in Sorrow — a 40-minute work by the four-piece lineup of Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, Lester Bowie, and Malachi Favors — has long been unavailable on vinyl and CD, and then only in hard-to-find European and Japanese issues. It is arguably the finest and most ambitious of the 14 studio albums recorded by the Art Ensemble of Chicago during their 23-month sojourn in France, which laun…
On Delusions, Corpusse turns late‑’80s Montreal into a one‑man gothic fever dream, declaiming like a punk Rasputin over blaring Korg/organ dirges that feel equal parts dungeon synth, suicide note and cracked rock‑and‑roll theatre.
Telekinett is pleased to unveil a narrative that delves into themes of darkness and metaphysics, spotlighting John Duncan, a distinguished figure among contemporary Electroacoustic composers.
On their self‑titled LP, Baudouin Oosterlynck & Bénédicte Davin slip two late‑’70s vocal compositions into the present tense, turning Glasgow’s Tectonics stage into a resonant laboratory where Oosterlynck’s ultra‑precise scores and Davin’s live voice re‑sculpt silence, timbre and breath.
Peter Evans and Mike Pride push the outer limits of improvisation. Combining Evans’ explosive trumpet virtuosity with Pride’s kaleidoscopic drumming and percussion work, this collaboration is equal parts high-wire intensity and deep listening. With sharp turns, dense sound clusters, unexpected silences, and moments of raw, unfiltered expression, this is improvised music at its most daring and unpredictable. Whether erupting into chaos or threading through intricate interplay, Evans and Pride pro…
On De Vrije Loop, Mix Monster Menno raids the entire Ultra Eczema archive, flipping decades of uncompromising noise, improv and oddball electronics into a late‑night, After‑Hours‑style turntablist trip that feels like the label’s unconscious talking in cuts and crackle.
Recorded live at the Donaueschingen Music Festival on October 17, 1971, Actions features a truly mind-bending confluence of musicians of the avant-garde, in the broadest sense of the term. Don Cherry -- the brilliant American free jazz trumpeter -- had recently expatriated to Sweden and was finding his way not only among the emerging free-jazz scene of Europe but also within his own constantly expanding musical palette that had begun to incorporate elements of African rhythms, Turkish folk idiom…
On Geometry of Murder: Extra Capsular Extraction Inversions, Earth x Black Noi$e stretch the 1991 debut into an even slower, more vaporised continuum, where Carlson’s primordial drones are rerouted through modern electronics into a smeared, time‑dilated echo of the original.

Brazilian avant-jazz vanguardists Grupo Um celebrate their 50th anniversary, sharing a second previously lost 1970s album from the vaults. Nineteen Seventy Seven (titled after the year it was recorded) is another rip-roaring instrumental fusion treasure from the band which spawned from within Hermeto Pascoal’s famed mid-1970s São Paulo collective.
Like their debut album Starting Point, Grupo Um’s Nineteen Seventy Seven was recorded when Brazil's military dictatorship was at its most repressive. …
*150 copies limited edition* Headlights Recordings presents Manuel Mota's new work 1-7. Manuel Mota is known for the personal vocabulary he has developed for the guitar. His music draws inspiration from a multitude of references loosely rooted in the blues tradition to craft a sound which was highly regarded by Derek Bailey. Actual but transmitting an enigmatic sense of timelessness. The moment of creation- composition, and the instrumental execution- playing, are to him indistinct, and that's w…
“It’s hard not to figure Jack Sheen’s compositions primordially; they lurch and rock with an abortive conviction, as if heralding culture’s approach—still half-submerged, slouched and red, ages ago. His work is somehow determinedly before almost everything; it feels like a dialectical twin to Beckett’s afterwards. Press moves with grossly impoverished intent—almost as if composed—while trembling and stumbling on the cusp of accident. This projected bodily timidity corresponds with a situation ri…
Limited edition, numbered. 1000 copies. 20-page booklet in LP size. Few records carry this kind of weight. Two hundred copies pressed in the summer of 1978, quietly distributed from a small Nuremberg label, and then - silence. It took decades for the world to catch up.
Carol of Harvest were five teenagers from the Middle Franconian town of Fürth, Bavaria. Axel Schmierer composed everything - all the songs, all the English lyrics - and the band coalesced around him with the precision of people wh…
Missus Beastly had formed in Herford in 1968 under the name Psychotic Reaction - lifted from the Count Five song - before settling on a name borrowed from a doll on a German children's television programme. Lutz Oldemeier on drums, Reinhard "Atzen" Wehmeyer on guitar and vocals, Wolfgang Nickel on keyboards, and Petja Hofman on bass had been playing the southern German circuit - Mainz, Munich - to crowds that responded to their unstructured, hour-long improvisations with something approaching de…
