Live in Rhein Main
Live in Rhein-Main by Gestalt et Jive documents the group’s most audacious mutations through two pivotal live sets, revealing an intricate interplay of improvisation and postmodern eclecticism. The album’s raw edges and unpredictable transitions expose the band’s commitment to redefining avant-rock’s boundaries, blending kinetic jazz idioms, punk dissonance, and European experimental traditions into a deeply engaging experience.
shades
Boston-based composer Nomi Epstein makes her debut on Another Timbre with this portrait album featuring three chamber works composed between 2011 and 2023. Influenced by the New York School, Fluxus, Pauline Oliveros's Sonic Meditations, and the Wandelweiser collective, Epstein has developed a distinctive compositional voice centered on sonic fragility and textural subtlety.
The album opens with the title piece shades, a 20-minute string quartet written specifically for Apartment House in 2023. T…
Minnesota
Norwegian coastal culture meets American dreams in Trond Kallevåg’s most cinematic work yet. Imagine Ry Cooder, Daniel Lanois, and David Lynch sharing a rowboat on a misty West Norwegian morning – that’s the world of Minnesota. With Minnesota, guitarist and composer Trond Kallevåg deepens his image-rich sound – a warm, wistful universe where the atmosphere of Norway’s rugged west coast drifts seamlessly into the wide horizons of the American Midwest. Drawing inspiration from traditional music, j…
The New Quartet
The New Quartet introduces Michael Garrick in close-up, stripped of choirs and orchestras and thrown into agile, conversational post-bop with Martin Hathaway, Paul Moylan and Alan Jackson. Across standards, Garrick originals and nods to Joe Harriott and Jaco Pastorius, the 2002 session turns lyricism into a pressure test, revealing how much drama four voices can conjure in a small room.
Genius
Genius presents Joe Harriott in full, volatile clarity, stitching together live free-form recordings from 1961 with sharper-edged studio sides and collaborations. Across these eleven tracks, his alto saxophone burns through hard bop, standards, and abstraction alike, supported by Coleridge Goode, Phil Seamen, and pianist Michael Garrick, among others.
Jazz Praises at St. Paul's
With Jazz Praises at St. Paul's, Michael Garrick welds liturgical grandeur to jazz improvisation, conjuring an atmosphere as reverent as it is free. Featuring the Michael Garrick Sextet, John Marshall, and the St. Paul’s Cathedral Choir, this 2005 release radiates both spiritual inquiry and creative boldness, transcending boundary with every motif.
Outside The Dream Syndicate
Temporary Super Offer! Violinist, composer and filmmaker Tony Conrad started his career in New York in the early 1960s. As a member of the Theatre of Eternal Music (a.k.a. the Dream Syndicate) alongside John Cale, La Monte Young, Marian Zazeela and Angus MacLise, he participated in now-legendary and often legendarily loud drone performances with many pieces having no beginning and no end. During a fateful trip to Germany in 1972, Conrad met with avant-rock visionaries Faust and made the very fir…

With The Freaks From Normal Street
*2025 stock* Aske Skat returns with a hypnotic new voyage from the crossroads of dusty Americana and Nordic psychedelia. With The Freaks From Normal Street distills Skat’s raw storytelling, sly humor, and sun-baked guitar into a bold, restless set that slides between lament and celebration, night-wumbling humor and sunlit revelation.
Blending thrumming electric guitars, pedal steel, and a rhythm section that lunges with earthy gravity, the album travels through neon-lit boulevards and frost-dust…

Ginparis Session
For the better part of the 50s and 60s, Masayuki Takayanagi was among Japan's best-respected jazz guitarists. But it wasn't until his experiments with tabletop guitar led him down the seductive path of sonic experimentation that he became the stuff of legend. “Ginparis” (literally translated as Silver Paris) was known as the chanson cafe in Tokyo, Ginza, and the performances often centred around chansons but eventually became the session venue for young jazz musicians. They left their mark on a…
Love's Secret Domain
*2022 black vinyl repress with insert* In 1991 Coil released the third of their early classic full-length albums "Love's Secret Domain", seemingly casting aside the gloom and funereal beauty of its predecessors in favour of a painstakingly multi-layered hallucinogenic electronic beast, which unlike some of their fellow ex-industrial contemporaries' releases of the time wasn't an attempt at easy accessibility or (the-gods-forbid) danceability, but a vibrating psychedelic masterpiece unrivalled in…
Cuneiform Tabs
Like an unsent love letter to a psychedelic London where everyone is trying to find their way to a secret Television Personalities gig, Cuneiform Tabs emerge with an astounding debut of lo-fi pop and DIY experimentation. A hazy collage of joyful heartaches, twisted children's TV themes and sing-song melodies, the album echoes the sounds of '60s AM radio from a dozen narrow alleyways to the North. Over 18 months, the Tabs' Matt Bieyle and Sterling Mackinnon traded 4-track tapes between the Bay Ar…

Music For The Film "Who I Am"
Misha Panfilov's "Music For The Film 'Who I Am'" is a soundtrack composed for Sofia Kruusamägi's short dance film. The music is characterized by repetitive rhythms and patterns, a deep groove, and a blend of hypnotic and evocative sounds that reflect the artistic and emotional depth of the film. Originally recorded in June 2021, it was released as a lathe cut in 2022 and showcases Panfilov's skills as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. The soundtrack captures the film's introspecti…
Why I Went To The Woods
With "Why I Went To The Woods", I retreated once again into my hauntological dream worlds. With the woods being the place one traditionally goes to clear one's head, I went there with these recordings to fortify myself with a deliberate rejection of the Now. Inspired equally by both the fictional filmed landscapes of psychedelic folk - the bucolic British countryside of the 1960s and 1970s which, though I've never witnessed in real life, still fill me with an inexplicable melancholic yearning to…
Creature Comforts
I started recording "Creature Comforts" with 'Allegiance' on the night of November 4th, as the election results were coming in. I found myself craving lullabies, but ugly and reflective ones, that saw the world with an acute sense of horror and bewilderment and bereavement. Lullabies that didn't protect me from these feelings - or rather did protect me, but did so through immersion. I finished recording on March 10th of 2025. Visual inspiration came from a series of mixed-media works by my gifte…
Helmut Lachenmann Complete Piano Works
"The piano has been with Lachenmann almost throughout his composing life of seven decades. Yet the instrument is by no means always the same. Lachenmann’s determination has been to go on finding new possibilities – almost a new voice for the piano in every piece, a voice with which it can speak that piece, as it has not spoken before. Perhaps the Schubert variations of 1956 could be understood as a farewell to traditional piano sound – a farewell made at the age of twenty. Already, though, there…
Trabant Bundle
** Special Discounted Bundle ** The complete archival collection of Hungary's legendary underground collective Trabant (1980-1987), preserved by Purge in two essential volumes. Active behind the Iron Curtain during the harshest years of authoritarian communism, this loose collective of songwriters and filmmakers - including Mihály Víg, János Vető, György Kozma, and Marietta Méhes - created hundreds of DIY recordings that were hand-traded on cassettes within the Hungarian underground.

A Mountain Sees a Mountain
A Mountain Sees a Mountain, the new duo recording by Hamid Drake and Pat Thomas, captures two master improvisers engaged in an intimate yet expansive dialogue. Released in October 2025 via Old Heaven Books, the album bridges African rhythmic philosophy and European avant-piano traditions, achieving a deep equilibrium between motion, meditation, and melodic abstraction.
