Canaxis 5
A few months after the foundation of Can, Holger Czukay recorded his first solo album ‘Canaxis’, in conjunction with producer/engineer Rolf Dammers, this album was assembled from thousands of snippets recorded from short wave radio, a long standing obsession of Czukay's which he also incorporated into some of Can's later albums. A refugee during the Second World War, Holger Czukay famously studied with Karlheinz Stockhausen in the early ‘60s. That direct exposure to the challenging and experimen…
Continuation
*300 copies limited edition* Words have never been my strongest point. I have many ideas in my head, often too many. I can talk a lot about them, but putting them on paper is not really me. I rather just work on my ideas. ‘cause whatever your thoughts are, as soon as it is out there and people start to listen it becomes theirs. What I might have thought up before, and have as concept behind the music, might not be how someone else listens to it. And that’s okay. If we keep in mind that my music …
Voiceless Mass

Yucca Alta Records now presents the first vinyl edition of Voiceless Mass, a three-sided double LP featuring Chacon's 2022 Pulitzer Prize-winning titl…

Music For Pulse Meridian Foliation
On Music for Pulse Meridian Foliation, Joshua Abrams translates Lisa Alvarado’s immersive installation into gently spiralling sound: two violas, harmonium and electronics tracing slow, minimal arcs that feel like geology moving through the body, memory folding and unfolding in real time.
Sueño
Eddie Palmieri stands among the most influential pianists and arrangers in salsa and Latin jazz history. His singular voice fuses the rhythmic urgency of his Puerto Rican roots with the harmonic sophistication of jazz visionaries like Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, and McCoy Tyner. Since founding La Perfecta in 1961 - a radical ensemble built on trombones rather than trumpets - Palmieri has consistently redefined the boundaries between jazz and Afro-Caribbean music.
Released in 1989 and produc…

Causa y Efecto, Vol. 2
*200 copies edition* The New Album by Francisco Mela and Zoh Amba 'Causa y Efecto, Vol. 2' is a celebration of differences and unity.

Still House Plants
