Condizione Umana
A long-lost gem of Italian library music, Condizione Umana by Rino De Filippi is a hypnotic journey through jazzy sketches, intimate atmospheres, and avant-garde experimentation. Reissued on vinyl after decades in obscurity, this visionary 1972 album invites listeners to explore deep grooves, primal percussion, and the boundless creativity of Italy’s golden age of soundtracks.
Sings With Strings
*110 copies limited edition* Everyone knows Swedish free jazz legend Sven-Åke Johansson kills it on the dancefloor, making Michael Jackson look petite in his three piece suit and killer moves! Nobody flips a cymbal with more style and patience than Sven-Åke! Whether it's a carboard cymbal, a rumbling tractor, Kippenberger's events, a brassband, a fire extinguisher or a lead pipe, anything turns into a stylish instrument in his hands.We've heard him croon before as well, though never as sugary as…
Frozen
There are cult bands and then there's Souled American. In 1988, the Illinois group arguably invented "alternative country" with the album Fe. While the alt-country sound is widely recognized as Southern roots rock with an indie-punk sensibility largely defined by Uncle Tupelo's No Depression released two years later — Souled American's early music feels as if it was formed in a vacuum, inspired by the timestretching space of reggae. But over the course of the following decade, Souled American's …

De Las Colonias Del Río De La Plata
Altercat proudly presents the definitive reissue of one of the crown jewels of South American jazz. Essentially the brainchild of Argentinian jazz’s leading figure Jorge López Ruiz, the project Viejas Raíces marked Lopez Ruiz’s departure from the traditional forms of jazz.
Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura
New remastered reissue, the only credited soundtrack appearance of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, makes you wish Ennio Morricone had used his free improv unit for that purpose more often. Gli Occhi Fredda Della Paura, or Cold Eyes of Fear, is an Italian slasher (giallo) from 1971. The score has Il Gruppo augmented by a rhythm section and a fuzz-wah guitarist (most likely Alessandro Alessandroni). The results sound like a creepy take on 70s Miles Davis, with driving jazz beats a la C…
Electronic Music from 1972-2022
Electronic Music from 1972-2022 seeks to frame fifty years of Carl Stone's compositional activity, starting with Stone's earliest professionally presented compositions from 1972 ("Three Confusongs" and "Ryound Thygyzunz", featuring the voice and poetry of Stefan Weiser – later known as Z'EV) up to the present. This collection is not meant as a definitive history but rather as a supplement to be used alongside the previous two archival releases. It is simultaneously an archival release marking Ca…
Sound
Sound by Paolo Ferrara draws from the golden era of Italian library music, channeling bossa rhythms, acid funk, and pulsing psychedelia. This 1974 canvas is at once cinematic and percussive, prizing rare groove and inventive arrangements that ripple with time-warped energy.
Jazz Raga
With Jazz Raga, Gábor Szabó fused modal jazz, Indian raga, and 1960s psychedelic currents into a single visionary statement. Recorded in 1966 at Van Gelder Studio, it remains a landmark of cross‑cultural improvisation—sitar‑tinged grooves meeting the freedom and pulse of spiritual jazz.

Hold Your Fire
Rising from the ashes of Timebox, Patto delivered a bold fusion of progressive rock, jazz, and blues powered by Mike Patto's soulful vocals and Ollie Halsall's stunning guitar work. Their second album, Hold Your Fire (1971), originally on Vertigo, is a true gem of early '70s progressive rock. Comes with original artwork in gimmix gatefold sleeve. Remastered by Prof. Stoned. Includes insert with detailed liner notes by Ralph Heibutzki and rare photos/memorabilia.
Orcutt Shelley Miller

Their debut self-titled album will be released September 5th on Silver Current Records.
Cathedral
*2025 stock* Nocturnal Emissions' releases throughout the 1980s are eclectic, adventurous and intermittently raw. 1991's "Cathedral" is something else entirely — ritualistic, expansive, awe-inducing. It is at turns warm, ominous and ethereal. We could come up with adjectives all day, but it really must be heard to be believed. Originally released by Italy's Musica Maxima Magnetica, "Cathedral" finally gets its due on vinyl with a deluxe 2xLP edition featuring a large booklet with many of Nigel A…
God Has Shot Himself
*249 copies limited edition* Reissue of the long out of print 1996 album. In the 22 years since "God Has Shot Himself" was released as a CDr by Legion Sudan, it has gained a somewhat mythic status as a notably disquieting release. Some might say disturbing — and they'd be right. But it's also more than that. "God Has Shot Himself" is the sound of abandonment, of spiritual collapse. It is just over a half hour of total blackening annihilation that still must be heard to be understood. Now on viny…
Music To Varnish Owls By
Music To Varnish Owls By. Does Geoff Bastow have a claim for the best album title of all time? It's certainly up there. It's also one of the hardest to find library funk records. But don't let the eye-catching name fool you into thinking this isn't serious business. As a key member of Giorgio Moroder's team, the legendary Geoff Bastow shouldn't need any introduction. You'll be familiar with his singular brilliance as the brains behind the much-sampled boogie/disco classics "You Don't Like My Mus…
The Kallikatsou Recordings
180g vinyl, 2024 repress. "I’ve never met Rod Modell (Deepchord) in person, but we have met through music. He found an obscure cassette of Chi music (from ’86), sent it to Astral Industries and paved the way for the release (30 years later) of ‘The Original Recordings’ in 2016. Since then, we’ve exchanged ideas and good music. I sent Rod a preview of ‘The Kallikatsou Recordings’ - he really liked it - and here came the idea for a remix of ‘Lanterns’. I started working on some random, lo-fi sampl…
Lingua II: Maledetto / Antiphony VIII
The work and thought of the American composer Kenneth Gaburo (1926-1993) exhibited many striking changes during his lifetime. In fact, while the world of commercial endeavor still insists that artists develop a recognizable personal "style," Gaburo's life-work can be seen as one of continual change and exploration, rather than one of codification and promotion. Some of these changes are beautifully illustrated by the two works on this CD, Maledetto, for seven speaking voices, from 1967-68, and A…
Patto
Formed in London in 1970, Patto evolved from the legendary Timebox and were known for their unique mix of progressive rock, jazz, blues, and their exceptional musicianship. Featuring Mike Patto, Ollie Halsall (one of rock's great "guitarist's guitarists"), Clive Griffiths, and John Halsey, this is their 1970 debut for Vertigo. Comes in original gatefold artwork in textured sleeve. Features stereo mixes and mastering by Prof. Stoned. Includes insert with detailed liner notes by Ralph Heibutzki an…
50 Ans d'Acousmatique
Few figures have shaped the course of electroacoustic music as profoundly and as persistently as François Bayle. This lavish 15-CD box set on INA-GRM gathers fifty works composed across half a century - from 1963 to 2012 - into a single, staggering document. Sixteen hours of acousmatic creation, 228 tracks, accompanied by a 160-page illustrated booklet with a 2012 interview by Thomas Baumgartner, an annotated catalog of works by Régis Renouard Larivière, and photographs spanning the full arc of …
Looking for Daniel
We commemorate the late Phill Niblock with this release made in close collaboration with the composer just before his passing in January 2024. His life and work have had a profound influence on many contemporary composers, performers and artists, so it is a great honour to be able to present here, together with Echonance Festival, recordings of some of his very last compositions. The two works on this album, “Biliana” (2023) and “Exploratory, Rhine Version, Looking for Daniel” (2019) represent t…
