I Think I’m Alone Now
At the age of 72, "Evil" Graham Lee, the legendary pedal steel pioneer and veteran of the iconic Australian band The Triffids, delivers his first ever album under his own name titled ‘I Think I’m Alone Now’. In addition to his work with The Triffids, Graham’s place in ambient history was cemented in 1990 when his evocative pedal steel became the soulful centerpiece of The KLF’s masterpiece, Chill Out (specifically on the highlight “Baltimore to Fair Play”).
I Think I’m Alone Now is a profound ex…
Warm Waves
‘Warm Waves’ first appeared in 2020, ten years after Turn On The Sunlight’s debut self-titled album was first released in Japan. During that decade, Turn On The Sunlight’s Jesse Peterson and Mia Doi Todd welcomed their first child and co-founded a music venue in Los Angeles. When performance spaces were required to close at the start of the pandemic, Jesse’s focus shifted back towards home recording. Since ‘Warm Waves,’ five more Turn On The Sunlight albums have followed (including ‘Drives To Th…
Mystic Siva
Formed in 1967 in Detroit, the band Mystic Siva consisted of four teenagers - none older than fifteen - who released a single self-titled album, recorded in a single day in 1970 at the band's self-managed V.O. Studios. The lineup consisted of Dave Mascarin on drums, lead vocals, the original composer, and creator of the album cover; Al Tozzi on guitar, who co-wrote five of the eleven tracks with Mascarin; Marc Heckert on B-3, organ, and vocals; Art Thienel on bass and vocals.
Nêgre Blanc
On Nègre blanc, Jean-Louis Costes turns a label’s “make a jazz record” brief into a feral cut‑up: Quentin Rollet’s solo sax improvisations are diced, looped and smeared under Costes’ confrontational vocals, flipping free jazz into a trash‑opera about race, filth and French identity.

Cosmos Nucleus
On Cosmos Nucleus, Carlos Garnett turns his cosmic post‑Coltrane fire into a large‑ensemble manifesto: six expansive tracks where Pharoah‑like spiritual cries, funk currents and celestial brass fanfares coalesce around the incandescent “Mystery Of Ages.”
Oscillations
On Oscillations, Sol Sol stretch their free‑jazz vocabulary into something almost cosmic: ten pieces where Elin Forkelid’s four saxes, David Stackenäs’ guitar and the Agnas brothers’ rhythm team move from feather‑light drift to razor‑edged intensity with effortless precision.
Balladyna
On Balladyna, Tomasz Stanko leads Tomasz Szukalski, Dave Holland and Edward Vesala through seven originals that weld lyrical, Slavic melancholy to volcanic free‑jazz undercurrents, forging a 1970s European classic that still feels startlingly alive.
Resonance of Time
Electronic lullabies and folk songs from Ethiopia! A landmark recording from Ethiopia’s vibrant cassette era of the 1980s, Resonance of Time features pioneering composer Wesenyeleh Mebreku reimagining Ethiopian folk melodies through the humble circuitry of an early Casiotone keyboard. Historically, the works featured on Resonance of Time (የጊዜ ቃና Yegizie Kana) stand as quiet documents of Ethiopian musical memory. Many of the original songs included in this release emerged during important moments…
Clock In, Clock Out
"Musica Mosaica undertakes an experimental exploration of sounds, viewed not merely as simple acoustic phenomena, but as truly living realities. From this perspective, experimentation is by no means a convenient metaphor used to illustrate an intuitive or informal approach. On the contrary, it is meant literally — deliberate, almost scientific: each musical piece becomes a small laboratory where sounds are observed as animated entities, with their own morphology, with impulses that bring them cl…
Athos: Echos from the Holy Mountain
Huge Tip!!! Mount Athos, known as the «Holy Mountain,» is a monastic peninsula in northeastern Greece, central to Eastern Orthodox monasticism for over a millennium. Its twenty monasteries house around 2,000 monks dedicated to prayer and worship, which songs have echoed across the Aegean Sea for centuries, heard only by visiting pilgrims, isolated from conventional time and global events. After several years of research, and several visits to the retired community, we are happy to present our ne…
After The Rain
At a time when the Japanese jazz scene was rapidly maturing and one accomplished musician after another was emerging, another saxophonist worthy of new attention joined the scene: Masafumi Yamaguchi. This work, his memorable first album as a leader, now makes its long-awaited first appearance as part of the seventh installment of "Spin This Now!"
Primrose
A refined jazz work by Hiromasa Suzuki. Featuring Nobuyoshi Ino on bass and the accomplished Steve Jackson on drums, this album unfolds through interplay that is tightly knit yet relaxed throughout, and now makes its long-awaited first appearance as part of the seventh installment of "Spin This Now!"
Hush-A-Bye
Following the great response to the previous release "Flash Up," a live recording from Shinjuku Pit Inn in March 1977, this new work composed by Takeo Moriyama was recorded about a year later. The second release left by the Takeo Moriyama Group on Teichiku now finally makes its debut as part of the seventh installment of "Spin This Now!"
Utisetur I
*100 copies limited edition* Utisetur I is the sixth album by Canadian ritual project Undirheimar. Marking the beginning of an ambitious trilogy, this new work delves deeper than ever into the project’s uncompromising spiritual and sonic vision. Utisetur I unfolds as a six-part ritual chant rooted in the ancient meditative practice of Utiseta. Stripping away all instrumentation, Undirheimar constructs the entire album exclusively from layered overtone singing, creating a dense, immersive field o…
Piano Solo
It happens very rarely that you can praise a records without any reservations, this is the case here!!! A lot of ink has flowed across the page since the Vogue/Swing release (1955) of that founding solo record. The repertoire was made up of pieces that Thelonious was playing in New York over that period, but in trio or with a quartet, here his music shows nakedness, i should say crudeness, whisch is completely overwhelming. It is a balck and white photograph of what is happening inside Monk's he…
Des Femmes Disparaissent
Art Blakey was the new hero on the Paris jazz scene, thanks to his Olympia concert on November 22nd 1958, and his subsequent appearances at the Club St. Germain. People swore by his 'Blues March' and 'Moanin', so why not get him to do the soundtrack for the film Molinaro just finished? The only problem, albeit a major one, was that time was short, so an original score was out of the question: the Jazz Messengers would have to preach the good word by other means. Fortunately, the band's tenor and…
From Ear To Ear
From the streets of Brooklyn comes La Fantástica, a brash, big‑band Latin orchestra whose debut on Joe Bataan’s Ghetto Records produced an underground salsa gem laced with unexpected psychedelic soul. Originally released in 1971, From Ear To Ear pairs hard‑driving Latin rhythms with the beguiling, English‑language slow‑burn of “Latin Blues,” a track that blurs salsa, soul, and psych textures.
Ghetto Records was Joe Bataan’s bold bid for independence — a label born from frustration with an indust…
Change Up The Groove
Dive into the vibrant soundscape of the 1970s with “Change Up the Groove”, a hidden gem from Roy Ayers Ubiquity's early years on Polygram. Often overlooked compared to his more famous records, this work overflows with soul and is a true masterclass in fusing jazz and funk, perfectly capturing Ayers' evolution as he connected his jazz roots with the sharp, driving rhythms of 1970s funk. From the very first track, Ayers' signature vibraphone shines brightly, bringing emotion and rhythm. The album …
