When Worlds Collide (2LP)
This is a limited double-LP collection of artists who've been on either Fourth Dimension Records or Lumberton Trading Company, or are even indirectly associated. The title, based on the name of a childhood '50s sci-fi film favourite, not only reflects the bringing together of these two labels but also the fact that most of the artists they are concerned with tend to navigate a wide range of ideas and approaches. The 2LP also began as a reflection of the two labels coming together on 18 May 2024 …
Island Slang
A meeting of minds and bodies on a heady percussive trip with no clear destination, captured live at Espacio Cultural El Tanque in Tenerife. With both imaginary and lived in tropical sceneries coalescing the two units, both Tenerife's Lagoss and Kampala's Abagwagwa (aka Nihiloxica) find a common thread to disentangle cartographies. As if it was bound to happen. As it did.
Taking Abagwagwa's relentless barrage of polyrhythms as a starting point to jammin' excursions that never falter into self in…

Cutting Together Apart
"I imagine that one of the first things I heard in the world was the explosion of a Russian ammunitions factory on the outskirts of my hometown. It blew up the night I was born a new GDR-citizen. I´m not sure I heard a noise when the Wall came down, but it still echoes in my body. The echo contains many frequencies. Some of them sound like Gabber playing in my childhood room over the speakers my grandfather once stole from a Leipzig radio station. Some of them sound like me and my friends runnin…
Feeling
2025 stock One of the very best records on Garden of Delights, if not the best one in general. Purely psychedelic music. There are no weak parts on the album at all. Only impressive songs played by talented musicians, recorded professionally, and taken from the master tapes. Everything fits together quite perfectly. Fans of early Pink Floyd will thoroughly enjoy the LP. Its style is reminiscent of the late 1960s. All songs, except for the rather catchy "Lory", are very mysterious and reveal thei…
Ardo Dombec
2025 stock After the re-issue of almost all of the legendary Pilz-label records, Ardo Dombec’s one and only LP (Pilz 2021095-2) is now available as well. The intricate rhythms and jazzy touches of this Hamburg band were at the time quite unusual for a label specialised in folk music. The re-issue LP features two tracks, which were then included in a compilation album, and another two songs from a never released Pilz 7” single as bonus tracks. The insert includes a lengthy band story in German an…

Science Fiction
Tip! Science Fiction is an album by the American avant-garde jazz saxophonist and composer Ornette Coleman, released in February 1972. It is considered as Coleman's creative rebirth. A stunningly inventive and appropriately alien-sounding blast of manic energy, where Coleman combines his past and future, working with bassist Charlie Haden and drummers Billy Higgins and Ed Blackwell. The album is made up of spacy, long-toned melodies and rhythm, including two songs with Indian vocalist Asha Puthl…
