Medicine Buddha
\\\"Billy Bang was a brilliant human being, always much more than himself, especially when he surrendered to his true calling-that of musician, one who transforms music into magic, dancing instead of walking, jumping instead standing still. Billy Bang was an American original, an original musician, an organic person who had tapped into the river of sound and was riding on a boat drenched in blues-soul-funk and space.Billy is gone and unfortunately for the world there will never ever be another p…
Live
A previously unreleased concert recording from 1986 of a group of leading out jazz artists (Billy Bang, Fred Hopkins, Andrew Cyrille, &c.). Part of the magic of jazz in New York City is groups of musicians coming together for brief engagements and then moving off into other groups and configurations, leaving fond memories but little recorded evidence of their existence. The Group was a very talented amalgam of musicians, veterans of the free jazz and loft scenes: Ahmed Abdullah on trumpet …
Winter Garden
From the producer's liner notes: "It is an interesting question how old 'free jazz' is. At some point, even a theme and a plan became optional. In the ESP-Disk' catalog, 'Taneou' on the Giuseppi Logan Quartet's eponymous album sounds like this approach of complete freedom starting from scratch; it was recorded on November 11, 1964. Joe McPhee, in 1967, appeared on Clifford Thornton's album Freedom and Unity, so his recording career covers 53 of those 56 years, 95% of the approach's history. Each…
Il Flauto Contemporaneo (LP)
condition (record/cover): NM/EX A definitive document of contemporary flute repertoire by two legendary Italian interpreters! Severino Gazzelloni (1919-1992), the most celebrated flutist of the post-war avant-garde, collaborated with virtually every major composer of his generation, inspiring countless works and redefining the instrument's possibilities. Joined by pianist Bruno Canino, this recording presents an extraordinary program balancing Italian masters with Japanese composers: Niccolò Cas…
7 Per Petrassi - Festival Fontino Di Musica 1984 (LP)
condition (record/cover): NM/NM Gatefold sleeve. A remarkable tribute to one of Italy's most influential composers! This album honors Goffredo Petrassi (1904-2003) with his own Inno alongside six commissioned works by distinguished international composers: Elliott Carter's Riconoscenza per Goffredo Petrassi, Armando Gentilucci's Metafore del Tempo, Gérard Grisey's Anubis et Nout, Donald Martino's Canzone sul Nome Petrassi, Luis de Pablo's Dos Epigramas de Marcial, Cristóbal Halffter's Dialogo, a…
Low-Fi Power Carnage
*300 copies limited edition* "Lo-Fi Power Carnage" was Dead Body Love debut album. Released in 1995 on OEC as a music-Cassette (OEC 091). This album is widely considered a corner-stone of Harsh Noise Industrial. Best Italian Noise without compromises.For this re-edition Gabriele Giuliani (aka Ded Body Love) did a complete re-mastring job. This new edition also Includes a bonus track from a rare Japanese compilation recorded in same era.
Jerusalaam
*2025 Stock* Jerusalaam plus the two extra tracks make up unused material from the Return of Black September sessions. The contrast, even for someone with as wide a range as Muslimgauze had, is stunning. The original Jerusalaam fits in with much of Bryn Jones’ classic work, with a heavy emphasis on hand percussion, bass-heavy distortion, sharply clipped loops, and the seething his of static. The two otherwise unnamed Return of Black September tracks, however, follow that album in taking a much m…
The Return Of
Every ATA project is marked by collaboration - some over a few weeks and some over decades. When drummer Sam Hobbs and bassist Neil Innes decided to make The Return of the Flying Hats they were building on twenty years of playing together; Innes’s years of nightclub residencies and love of Afro-American dance music, and Hobbs’s intensive exploration of the links between American soul and R&B, Jamaican rocksteady and roots, and the music of the wider Caribbean from Cuba to Trinidad and Brazil. Or…
Magic Thread
First released in 1998, Magic Thread finds Susumu Yokota navigating the liminal space between club rhythm and ambient reverie. Blending vaporous beats, dub inflections, and microscopic detail, the album traces the moment he stepped from late‑night dance floors into dawn-lit introspection.
Grinning Cat
With Grinning Cat, Susumu Yokota continues to refine his delicate ambient universe through a dreamlike balance of melody, texture, and silence. The 2001 album merges found sounds, piano fragments, and vaporous rhythms into an otherworldly narrative of domestic tranquility and imaginative reverie.
Music For Black Pigeons
*2025 stock* After 14 years of filming/recording some of today’s most influential musicians, the music from Andreas Koefoed’s and Jørgen Leth’s celebrated film “Music For Black Pigeons” is now available for the first time (vinyl only). The soundtrack is based on compositions by Jakob Bro, performed by Bill Frisell, Lee Konitz, Craig Taborn, Paul Motian, Andrew Cyrille, Arve Henriksen, Midori Takada and many others. Venice Film Festival title “Music for Black Pigeons,” directed by Danish filmmake…
Sakura
With Sakura, Susumu Yokota unveiled an ambient masterpiece that blends sampled fragments of jazz, minimalism, and Japanese melody into a contemplative whole. Released in 1999 on Skintone and later on The Leaf Label, the album turns repetition into poetry, infusing electronic textures with a deep human warmth.
Jackal The Invizible
*2025 Stock* Listeners who know much of anything about Bryn Jones' work as Muslimgauze know that he was prolific in both his work and in the way he sent out his work to labels and other interested parties. Fittingly enough for an artist that feverishly productive and often taciturn to the point of frustration, he didn't tend to give much more information than handwritten track titles on the sleeve of a DAT. Why he would submit multiple copies of the same or similar tracks to those he worked with…
A Collection of Songs in the Traditional & Sean​-​N​ó​s Style

A long standing …
Learning
‘Learning’ - Sophie Agnel’s first solo LP, feels like the dark, physical inversion of her excellent ‘Song’ which came out on Relative Pitch earlier this year. Sinking her unique sound into vinyl for the first time, the LP arrives as Agnel recovers from a brain tumour - a shocking discovery that will require Agnel to start again with the piano. It’s a terrifying prospect, but Agnel has been here before, having reorientated herself almost entirely away from her early classical training over the la…
Il Bestiario
** Temporary super offer, very last copies ** There was never anyone like Maria Monti – and this album is a true testament to her genius! Il Bestiario might be best understood next to albums by artists like Brigitte Fontaine, Scott Walker, and Catherine Ribeiro, all of whom began their careers within the saccharine confines of popular music, before embarking on some of the most revolutionary recordings of the era. It enlisted the radical poet Aldo Braibanti (a man defined “the lone true Italian…
Atmospherics [30th Anniversary Edition]
Past Inside the Present is proud to reissue James Bernard’s landmark 1994 ambient masterwork, Atmospherics, remastered and packaged with a brand new, track-by-track interpretation of the entire album by friend and collaborator, bvdub. While these versions are separated by an ocean of musical and technological change, together they form a cohesive image of adventurous musicianship, melodic and textural richness, and stylistic timelessness.   Originally issued by legendary UK imprint, Rising High …
Dreaming Glass
An’archives are thrilled to present the debut album by Tokyo avant-pop duo Jyuriaano, Dreaming Glass.
Musique Sacrée (LP)
condition (record/cover): NM/NM Gatefold sleeve. A profound exploration of sacred music by one of Italy's most enigmatic composers! Giacinto Scelsi (1905-1988), whose work remained largely unknown until late in his career, created a unique compositional language centered on microtonal explorations and the inner life of single sounds. This rare Fy release presents his sacred works, revealing Scelsi's deeply spiritual approach to composition. Moving beyond traditional harmonic structures, these pi…
Twelve Reasons to Die
The Twelve Reasons to Die by Ghostface Killah and Adrian Younge is a darkly cinematic concept album that fuses Wu-Tang grit with the operatic scope of Italian horror and soul symphonies. Executively produced by RZA, it tells a revenge myth steeped in vinyl and blood, pairing Ghostface’s vivid storytelling with Younge’s analog psych-soul production in a seamless homage to genre and myth.
