Live at IUCC - Complete Series
Few copies available. The Los Angeles based pianist, band leader, and composer, Horace Tapscott, always stood apart from the pack. A true visionary who was fiercely principled and independent, across the 1960s, '70s, '80s, and '90s, leading his legendary Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, he produced a tour de force of sound, seeded by social, political, and community-based action. For the entirety of their run together, Tapscott and his Arkestra, which continues to this day, were among the most impo…

Jazz In Libertà
On Jazz In Libertà, Antonio Riccardo Luciani turns a nameless studio quartet into a lean, cinematic engine: two duelling keyboards, supple bass and drums, and a single Benson‑tinged guitar cameo conjure an entire universe of 70s Italian jazz‑funk and cop‑film tension.
Oblivion Seekers
On Oblivion Seekers, Ben Vida turns everyday speech into a glowing maze: neutral‑toned duets, drifting chamber textures and collaged overheard phrases dissolve meaning and sound into one long, entrancing mantra of language in motion.
Requiem in the Sun / Re-Musick / Demise Symphonika
This is the first in a series of various compilations to come with a focus on the 80’s japanese Minimal/Synth/Wave and electronica. While Japan is very known for the Japanese Noise (almost as Germany is known for NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle) or 70’s Kraut (Progressive).Electronic Music this aspect of the 80’s Japanese Music Culture still seems to be less explored and exposed to the interested listeners. In the early 80’s you had several outstanding labels such as Vanity releasing great artist…
Black & Beautiful / Soul & Madness
Originally released in New York in 1968 on Baraka's own Jihad label, "Black and Beautiful Soule and madness" is a fiery document of the 1960s. It could be mistaken for a lost ESP-Disk release, sitting well between Sun Ra / the Fugs/ and Albert Ayler. The group was vocal in all the ways; sometimes singing, Doo-wop & Soul, sometimes rapping in a Last Poets-style, often doing both at the same time. Emotionally compelling and extremely powerful,we are proud to have it back in print on vinyl for the …

The Unreleased Themes for Hellraiser [expanded ritual], released by Mental Groove Records / Musique Pour La Danse, is the definitive edition of one of experimental music's most mythologised what-ifs: a lost soundtrack now restored, expanded, and assembled into a coherent and deeply unsettling whole.

Trees Without Leaves
Paul Nova's career began with Bizarre Unit and the legendary 1981 7" Dancing / Away from the Screaming Car, before he founded Exhibit One Records in 1982 and released a sequence of four highly collectible vinyl records culminating in the LP Trees Without Leaves (1984). His music exists in the lineage of the coldest and most precise British synthesizer pop of the early Mute years, but with a restraint and a melancholy that gives it a character entirely its own. The original Exhibit One pressings …

Irreversible Entanglements, formed in Brooklyn in 2015, consists of p…
Seismo
A shiver of mischievous vocal snippets, disorienting rhythms and collapsing sonic architectures, upsammy and Valentina Magaletti’s first collaborative album prioritizes motion, modulation and variance. The seeds of ‘Seismo’ were sown following a commission from Amsterdam’s Rijksmuseum to soundtrack an exhibition of work from the Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam and the duo didn’t want to approach their collaboration flippantly. So, wandering the museum’s maze of rooms, they recorded va…

Geschrieben in Wasser
On geschrieben in wasser., Klaus Lang pares the piano quartet down to a faintly breathing organism, letting soft, slowly shifting harmonies hover at the edge of audibility like something written on water just before it disappears.
