Some Attributes Of A Living System
The first album under the Mnemonists name, released in 1980 in 500 copies on the Colorado collective's own Dys label: 22 'Fragments' of improvisation between modern classical, noise, industrial and free jazz, by the circle that became Biota. Reissued on CD by Klanggalerie.
I Still Look For The Mountains
Debut of the New England singer, songwriter and naturalist Harper Bull as Allison Graves: breathy, worn-in songs recorded with a secondhand guitar and a broken laptop, between Nick Drake, Vashti Bunyan and Adrianne Lenker. First vinyl edition on Important.
Floating Frequencies / Intuitive Synthesis I-IV
The complete Floating Frequencies / Intuitive Synthesis cycle on four cassettes: Eleh's three foundational volumes of pure analog tone (2006-2008), dedicated to La Monte Young, Charlemagne Palestine and Pauline Oliveros, plus Volume IV. Remastered by Tom Eaton in 2025, Cassauna.
Shadow Web
The Swiss trio's new double LP turns from brutal, linear minimalism to slowness and immersion: four long pieces of guitar, bass and drums recorded almost entirely live, with a drum machine for the first time. On Cuneiform.
Zombi (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
Goblin's score for George Romero's Dawn of the Dead, released for the first time under the film's original title: New York Comic Con 20th anniversary edition on black vinyl with new artwork, limited to 750 copies.
Hurry Red Telephone
Marc Ribot's first all-instrumental album since Live at the Village Vanguard: a quartet with Chad Taylor and the saxophones of James Brandon Lewis, Brian Settles and Briggan Krauss, between free jazz and No Wave. On Pi Recordings.
Zarathustra
Museo Rosenbach's 1973 debut on Ricordi: a Nietzsche-inspired suite of Mellotron, Hammond and heavy guitars, sunk at the time by accusations of fascism and now one of the cult records of Italian progressive rock. Music On Vinyl reissue on 180g transparent vinyl, gatefold.
Prophetic Perfect Tense
Oren Ambarchi alone with the guitar: two sides, two single takes with almost no effects, recorded to tape at Studio Dede in Tokyo and produced by Randall Dunn.
And Their Power Was Alive
Faith Coloccia's unadorned voice over Tashi Dorji's glacial, howling guitar, with piano, organ and tubular bells: songs about land, property and loss, recorded between Anacortes and Asheville.
Allison de Groot & Rich Ruth
Clawhammer banjo meets synthesizers, loops and pedal steel: Allison de Groot and Nashville's Rich Ruth turn a planned solo record into a shared album of cosmic, tender instrumental music.
Promenades
Seven works by Gilles Gobeil from 1990 to 2020 on the theme of the stroll, from Chris Marker's La Jetée and Kubrick's 2001 with Yves Charuest's saxophone to Folkmar Hein's Berlin forest walks and the trio Déviation(s). CD-R.
Minnets Långa Kedjor
First recorded work by Swedish drone composer Mats Erlandsson and double bassist Gus Loxbo, friends for 25 years: free improvisation, electroacoustic drone and doom, reshaped in the studio through digital processing and tape work.
Flowerage
Chicago trio Axis: Sova follow up 2023's Blinded by Oblivion on Ty Segall's God? Records: post-punk songs worked out live on tour, then recorded with Cooper Crain at Electrical Audio, all earworm hooks and phased, fuzzed guitars.
Richard Raux & Hamsa
Richard Raux's band after Magma, recorded at the Château d'Hérouville in 1974: spiritual jazz, progressive rock and Malagasy rhythms, with his brother Patrice on guitar. Restored and remastered for Souffle Continu's 100th release.
Carsten Meinert / C.M. MusicTrain
Unreleased recordings by Danish tenor saxophonist Carsten Meinert, with the Danish Radio Jazz Group on side A and his C.M. MusicTrain on side B, Coltrane-rooted fire with Ole Matthiessen and Pierre Dørge. Liner notes by Mats Gustafsson.

Rainbow
Boris and Michio Kurihara of Ghost and White Heaven first joined forces on Rainbow in 2006. Drag City now issues it on vinyl for its 20th anniversary: heavy psych, droning jams and short pop songs, in a tip-on sleeve with a vellum lyric insert.
Ananta: Spirit of Coltrane
Miguel Atwood-Ferguson marks John Coltrane's centennial on Impulse! with a 21-piece collective (Brandee Younger, Shabaka Hutchings, Flying Lotus, Jeff Parker, Azar Lawrence), recasting Naima, Giant Steps and A Love Supreme as cosmic, spiritual music.
The Mortgage Burn
Weston Olencki's compositions for the Quebec percussion trio Bascaille: tuned fiddles, homemade zithers, watershed debris, speaker cones and an upright piano in two long pieces of friction, resonance and lopsided pulse.
