Le Diamant De L'Herbe
*Text in French* A short story by Xavier Forneret, set to music by Nurse With Wound. A wealthy Romantic, Xavier Forneret published his writings and theater at his own expense. Legend has it that he fell asleep every night in an ebony coffin, which André Breton later opened to recognize one of Lautréamont's precursors. Could Le diamant de l'herbe, a short story here set to music by Nurse With Wound, seems to prove him right...
Out To Lunch!
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** Out to Lunch! remains one of the most strikingly original statements on Blue Note. Eric Dolphy marshals Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Bobby Hutcherson on vibraphone, Richard Davis on bass, and Tony Williams on drums into a unit that treats his knotty compositions as springboards rather than straitjackets. Themes like “Hat and Beard” arrive full of angular intervals and odd accents, while the rhythm team tilts and lurches under them, propelled by Williams’ restless …
The Temple
After being an integral part of the Manchester and Glasgow underground scenes, Leo Robinson announces his debut solo album under his own name: The Temple will be released 27th October on Prah Recordings. A baroque epic set in the mundane settings of contemporary Northern England, its narrative reflects a spiritual or psychoanalytic journey. Ten songs dealing in intricate string-tinged folk, and produced with a sense of up-close intimacy and structural freedom that frequently blindsides the liste…
Double Consciousness
*75 copies limited edition* From the label: "On the occasion of Eric Thielemans' japanese tour, we have published 75 numbered cassettes with which Eric will go on tour."
Chromophobia
A record made for the ones we lost. Oli Heffernan returns with his fourth album for Riot Season - an expansive double LP that carries with it a deep personal history and years of unfinished business.
The earliest sessions date back to 2018 at the IDI in Middlesbrough, engineered by longtime collaborator Nigel Crooks over the course of three weekends. Then life happened. The material was shelved, left to gather dust for reasons that accumulated and compounded. When Crooks passed away in 2023, com…
Amore Mio Aiutami
Sonor Music Editions proudly presents the definitive reissue of Piero Piccioni’s often unheralded soundtrack to the 1969 bittersweet Italian comedy classic Amore Mio Aiutami (Help Me, My Love), starring two giants of Italian cinema, Monica Vitti and Alberto Sordi. This soundtrack is a prime example of Piccioni’s immense talent as a composer of timeless, lushly orchestrated lounge music — a masterpiece of its era that rightfully deserves its place alongside his most cherished works from the same …

On split since 2012 The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble now finally makes all long-time sold out releases available again on all formats (cd | vinyl | digital). The series of reissues starts with their genre-determining second output "Mutations". An act combining profound musical sensibilities, deeply emotional harmonies and an acute ear for genre inter-breeding, The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble placed itsel…
Return of Black September
The excellent Black September, a continuous, five-part, 68-minute epic, is as formidably competent as ever, although more for the brooding, surreal nature of its soundworld than for its grooves, which here sound almost subsidiary. The soul samples and restlessly evolving minor-chord kaleidoscopes that unfold throughout the work is prima facie evidence of a musician on a roll. Boldly named after one of the most notorious Palestinian terrorist organizations, the group which carried out the Israeli…
Occult Eye (Book)

Demon's Dance
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** Demon’s Dance (often mis‑typed in catalogues) captures Jackie McLean with a younger, firebreathing band: Woody Shaw on trumpet, LaMont Johnson at the piano, Scott Holt on bass, and Jack DeJohnette on drums. The tunes are packed with rhythmic snaps and melodic hooks, yet the improvisations regularly veer into more angular, exploratory territory. McLean’s alto tone is piercing and urgent, cutting through the ensemble with authority, while Shaw’s harmonically advanc…
Spring
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** Tony Williams Spring represents the drummer-composer at a crucial moment in his artistic trajectory. By 1965, Williams had already participated in landmark Blue Note sessions - Herbie Hancock's Empyrean Isles, Eric Dolphy's Out To Lunch, Andrew Hill's Point Of Departure, Jackie McLean's One Step Beyond. Despite barely being in his twenties, he had already established himself as a musician capable of listening at the highest level, responding to ensemble dynamics …
Static Disposal

Skyways
Misha Panfilov Septet is an Estonian ensemble led by composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Misha Panfilov. Known for their evocative blend of psychedelic jazz, electronic lounge, and ambient exotica, the septet features a rich palette of timbres and improvisational interplay, distinctively shaped by Panfilov's lap steel guitar and space-conscious compositions. The group includes Artur Leppik (alto/baritone sax, percussion), Sasha Petrov (tenor sax, percussion), Ilja Gussarov (flute, perc…
Visiting Cloud
What happens when electroacoustic thought migrates into the physical realm of acoustic instruments? Visiting Cloud documents a three-year collaboration between Finnish composer Marja Ahti and Italian ensemble Blutwurst, where two of Ahti's electroacoustic works - Fluctuating Streams (from The Current Inside, 2019) and Chora (from Vegetal Negatives, 2018) - undergo radical transformation into acoustic versions that stretch, deepen, and reimagine their original forms. Initiated by Blutwurst in 202…
O Africanto Dos Tincoas
The third album by the legendary Bahian trio, originally released in 1975 on Odeon and finally back on vinyl. One of the most spiritually charged records to emerge from Brazil during the military dictatorship years. Hold on to your hats. Os Tincoãs - Mateus Aleluia, Heraldo and Dadinho - came from Cachoeira, in the Recôncavo Baiano, a region steeped in Afro-Brazilian traditions where Candomblé terreiros and Catholic chapels existed side by side, where sacred rhythms passed from generation to gen…
El-Hadra - The Mystik Dance
El-Hadra is more than ambient music - it’s a sonic ritual that leaves a permanent mark on the soul. This album has transformed the way many perceive sound, becoming a personal landmark for countless listeners. Originally recorded in the late 1980s, it fuses elements of Sufi trance with hypnotic tabla rhythms, meditative zither, and deep ambient drone to form a truly transcendent experience. Listening to El-Hadra is like entering a space beyond time - a journey one can take again and again, alway…
Early Works
A selection of the most radical impressive works composed by Wayne Siegel when he was mid-twenties. Moved to Denmark, between 1979 and 1980, he began to investigate possibilities of a very personal language, contributing to mould the heterogeneous kaleidoscope of Post-Minimalism results. The early works are constructed around a relentless musical process that consists of delaying and repeating every element in a certain measure, without intentional alteration. Siegel called this process canon te…
Kagome Kagome
Two decades of French experimentalism meets Japanese spiritual practice in this haunting collaboration. Recorded around a 104-year-old harmonium, Dora and Suzuki channel otherworldly beauty through voice and electronics - music of prayer, magic, and genuine mystery.
