Music from United Kingdom

Bristling with tension and remarkable restrained interplay, encountering both players at the top of their game, No Business’ latest LP, Live at FarOut, Atsugi 1987, a never before issed duo between Bailey and the Japanese saxophonist, Mototeru Takagi, is easily among the best documents of free improvisation we’ve heard all year.

**Double 200gm vinyl LP pressing.**After an absence of over 40 years, the first edition of Exposure - Robert Fripp’s startling 1979 solo debut - is available on vinyl again.  The term ‘Classic album’ has been devalued somewhat through overuse, but if ever an album has proved worthy of the term it’s Exposure. An invitation from David Bowie and Brian Eno in July 1977 resulted in his appearance as lead guitarist on Heroes, David Bowie’s 2nd 1977 album from his own golden year and marked Fripp’s ret…

Abstrakce is really excited to finally present one of the most rare, interesting and difficult to find of Carl Matthews' cassettes on vinyl for the first time and remastered by Colin Potter. Composed and recorded at his own home studio in 1991 and influenced by Harmonia and Cluster, Matthews developes a really personal project. A very delicate usage of rhythm machines, samplers, sequencers, e-bowed guitars that show up briefly hinting at a lo-fi Innovative Communication feeling... The capricious…

**Deluxe green vinyl edition of 500 copies housed in a gatefold sleeve** Holy Palm is the debut album by Flora Yin-Wong, an artist, writer, DJ and journalist, summoning the ghosts of her life in a masterful meditation on metaphysics, superstition and memory. It’s part collage, part audio diary, part reflection; a sort of private ritual purification that comes highly recommended if you’re into works by Mark Gergis, Philip Corner, Mark Leckey and Hildegard Westerkamp.  Following her mesmerising tu…

Matthew Shipp (piano), John Butcher (saxophones) and Thomas Lehn (electronics) in a studio album recorded in France in 2017, a uniquely voiced collective trio of transformative improvisation, Lehn's additions and modifications blending perfectly with Shipp's solid foundations and Butcher's advanced technical expression, for an engrossing and expressive set of recordings. "They manage to perfectly combine the many elements of the music while always keeping their individual identities intact."- Ro…

History of Sleep is a new release of slumberous drones for midnight vistas, by the duo of Donald W.G. Lindsay and Richard Youngs, a small pipes and electric guitar duo. These four pieces contain sighing, soaring improvisations for half-waking states, with keening bagpipe and whorls of resonant guitar. The 20-minute long finale, 'Dorrington' has at its heart a cue from the oldest collection of bagpipe music in existence by William Dixon. This tune was once played by the Allan pipers Will and Jami…

A true Krautrock classic from the archives. In 1976 Brian Eno visited Harmonia's studio in the Weserbergland region of northern Germany to create what would become one of the most cherished artifacts of the genre on 'Tracks and Traces'.

The track selection seems to have been designed as an ideal introduction to the former Soft Machine drummer's solo work, collecting key album recordings and even one or two bonafide hits (regardless of what the album title says). Wyatt's debut single, a cover of the Neil Diamond/Monkees song 'I'm A Believer' is included in its extended form (although, as ever it sounds jarringly out of place when set among his own compositions), as is the 1998 remaster of 'Shipbuilding', Wyatt's memorable 1982 r…
