Gandalf
If you’re as obsessed with unfairly unheralded bands as we are, bringing out a proper, well-deserved official re-release to change that course is always an honor. Case in point, Jackpot Records proudly announce Gandalf’s 1969 self-titled release as one of our proudest moments. Working alongside band member Peter Sando from the original master tapes, it is time for the rest of the uninitiated to catch up with this beautifully crafted haunting psych- pop record (fans of THE LEFT BANKE, KALEIDOSCOP…
Alone We Are Alone As Far Down As the Sediment
2025 stock Originally released February 12, 2022. MANAS -- otherwise known as the duo of iconoclastic guitarist Tashi Dorji and drummer extraordinaire Thom Nguyen -- have made tsunami-sized waves in the free jazz and improv scene with their numerous tape and LP releases (drawing praise and support from such luminaries and fellow-travelers as Bill Nace and Ben Chasny) and their face-melting live shows, including high profile touring with Godspeed! You Black Emperor. Back in the summer of 2019 the…
Melle-Aan-Zee
Melle-Aan-Zee is the latest lo-fi recorded collection of improvised pieces by Ghent-based occasional psych folk, kraut infused jam collective De Regering Van Treffelijke Zaken, which seems to continue to give birth to compositions that defy convention and exceed expectations. Just as their sporadic meet-ups seemingly cannot be planned, their enigmatic worlds of sound unfold through pure improvisation, sense of experimentation, a confluence of coincidences and reasoned skits. There's a special ki…
Give Me Shelter
Although it was the lead track on the Stones's eighth studio LP, Let it Bleed, the song 'Gimmie Shelter' was not released as a single. Indeed, the single 'from' that album was the countrified non-LP track, 'HonkyTonk Women' backed with the corny chorale sluice of 'You Can't Always Get What You Want.' It was as though the Stones, knowing they would soon be pilloried on the cross of Altamont, wanted to have a way to try and dodge those nails by being able to claim they weren't even a rock band. We…
Planet!
*100 copies limited edition* This is what Planet! does: it sends you, straight away, to a gray two-faced satellite. On a fictitious projectile that seems to have come out of that withered phantasmagoria of Georges Méliès: Le Voyage dans la lune, do you know it?
This collection of tracks grew out of a live score of Georges Méliès short films at the Philosophical Research Society in January 2024. Méliès films are bizarre and fantastical, at times delving into the macabre. But they are also comical…
Ensomheden Vi Deler
*200 copies limited edition* "Ensomheden Vi Deler" ("The Loneliness We Share") is the result of a dialogue between the collages and the music of øjeRum, initiated by IIKKI, between December 2024 and July 2025. øjeRum is Copenhagen based musician and collage artist Paw Grabowski.
With his collages, the distinctive feature of øjeRum's works is their ability to combine different historical and artistic periods, such as ancient sculpture, medieval frescoes, classical painting and photography, and to…
Tin Pan Alley
Tin Pan Alley is the iconic name given to a collection of New York City music publishers and songwriters who dominated popular music in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Originally, it referred to a specific location: West 28th Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues in Manhattan’s Flower District.
Drawing inspiration from this historic music landmark, renowned Japanese musicians Haruomi Hosono (Apryl Fool, Happy End, Yellow Magic Orchestra), Masataka Matsutoya (mus…
Mama Too Tight
Originally released in 1967, Mama Too Tight stands as one of the most daring and structurally innovative albums from Archie Shepp, a pivotal figure in the free jazz movement and African-American cultural protest of the 1960s. Distinct from his more explosive works, this album showcases a refined compositional complexity, featuring avant-garde marching-band-style arrangements, masterful horn orchestrations, and a unique blend of humor and improvisational tension.
The title track, Mama Too Tight, …

Whistle and I'll Come To You
Whistle and I’ll Come To You by Death and Vanilla is an evanescent, cinematic dream-pop companion to the cult 1968 BBC ghost story film. Through shimmering synths, vibraphone, and spectral loops, the Malmö trio crafts an atmospheric journey where hauntology, vintage electronics, and melancholy motif intertwine, conjuring equal parts nostalgia and spectral unease.
The Last Sacrifice
The Last Sacrifice by Mike Lindsay—co-founder of Tunng and the creative force behind Lump—offers a meticulously crafted folk-horror soundtrack that doubles as a standalone listening experience. Written as the audio companion to Rupert Russell's sinister true crime tale, Lindsay’s score winds through moods of spectral dread and rustic eeriness, shaped by analog warmth and otherworldly textures. The resulting album is immersive and haunting, deftly blending traditional English folk motifs with chi…
Howl
Howl by Daisy Rickman offers a luminous journey through Cornish and English folk, steeped in mythic sun worship, nocturnal dreamscapes, and meditative storytelling. Recorded and performed entirely by Rickman herself, this second album channels solitary creativity and multi-instrumental textures into ten radiant pieces where sun, memory, and spirit intertwine in slow-burning, ornamental songforms.
You Must Be Certain Of The Devil
In 1988, with America's AIDS death toll at 46,000 and antivirals still years away, Diamanda Galás released You Must Be Certain of the Devil, the final installment of her Masque of the Red Death trilogy. Her brother Philip had died of AIDS-related illness in 1986. She had been attending Act Up protests. Critics dismissed her as "the AIDS lady," unwilling to reckon with what she was actually doing: creating a work she described as "begun in 1984 and not completed until the end of the epidemic." No…
Selected Works 1985-2005
Selected Works 1985-2005 by Gabrielle Roth & The Mirrors assembles eleven transformative pieces from two decades of percussive ambient innovation. This 2025 repress captures their hypnotic blend of ceremonial rhythm, improvisation and deeply spiritual overtones, threading together global traditions and ecstatic energy to create immersive soundscapes meant for both movement and contemplation.
Slow Crimes
2025 Stock. The Work emerged from the dissolution of Henry Cow in 1979, formed by saxophonist Tim Hodgkinson, guitarist Bill Gilonis, bassist Mick Hobbs, and drummer Rick Wilson. Their inaugural LP, Slow Crimes, is a little-known treasure of transformative magnitude, so rabidly articulate that it presides over and resides in a world very much unto itself. While falling within the loosest guidelines of post-punk, the term proves inadequate: the textural intricacies and distinct deliberacy through…
