Ornette!
Ornette Coleman, who died in June 2015 from cardiac arrest, must be counted as one of the most influential musicians in the jazz genre. His importance does not only lie in his ground-breaking recordings in the late Fifties and early Sixties, but lies more significantly in the educational effect of his work – in the fact that he always went beyond himself to the very end. Just a little more than a month after his ground-breaking release "Free Jazz", Coleman recorded the present album, in which he…
H.P. Lovecraft
Cosmic Rock is thrilled to announce the long-awaited reissue of H.P. Lovecraft, the seminal debut album by the American psychedelic rock band H.P. Lovecraft. Originally released in October 1967 by Philips Records, this cult classic returns to vinyl, restoring its haunting, eerie ambiance for a new generation of psych explorers.
Blending psychedelic and folk rock influences, H.P. Lovecraft draws direct inspiration from the cosmic horror tales of author H.P. Lovecraft—the band's namesake. The albu…
Momentaufnahme III
*2025 stock* Faust is a group of artists who shared intense musical experiences with each other between 1971 and 1974. Supported by producer Uwe Nettelbeck and sound engineer Kurt Graupner, they produced a wealth of recordings in a studio in Wümme that was set up especially for them. This was followed by two compact album productions, recorded at Manor (21–31 March 1973) and Musicland Studios (6–12 May 1974). This album presents a selection of recordings from this period that document their crea…
Listen Ship
Listen Ship is the latest masterpiece in the ever-expanding sound world of Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Henry Threadgill, whom The New York Review of Books recently described as “one of American music’s great Romantics and a lifelong seeker of the sublime.” The new work is a suite for six acoustic guitars – including individual stylists such as Bill Frisell, Miles Okazaki and Brandon Ross – and two pianos that utilize Threadgill’s unique intervallic syntax to illuminate his idiosyncratic visi…
Born To Move
Ozobby Horn was a very obscure band from Nigeria composed of three musicians that only released one and only very hard to find cult album that has finally been reissued by Afrodelic. "Born To Move On" is an absolutely killer album that sums up the best of 1970s Nigerian sound. Heavy wicked psychedelic Afro-funk; phat drums and hefty, chunky bass with shredding fuzz guitar insertions on a bed of analogic keys.
Communication
With Communication, Karl Bartos is re-releasing his visionary solo album from 2003 – and striking a chord with the spirit of the times. As a key member of Kraftwerk, Bartos played a major role in classics such as ‘The Model’, ‘The Robots’ and ‘Numbers’. After leaving the band in 1990, he continued his musical journey with Communication – now with a critical eye on the digital media world. The album is a sonically precise and thematically astute exploration of issues such as image overload, ident…

In A Fugue State
*300 copies limited edition* 'In a fugue state’ finds pedal-steel guitar maestro Joe Harvey-Whyte collaborating with tape loop sound scientist Paul Cousins on a warped ambient excursion into the subconscious. Originally written and recorded in one night, the eight tracks of hypnotic electro-acoustic music explore the concept of memory and time. The duo study how we remember and misremember things; forming an imperfect reorganisation of time, events and emotional states. This album exists at a cr…
The Sheer Action Of Fini Tribe: 1982-1987
"The Sheer Action of Fini Tribe" is a colossal retrospective anthology curated and designed by the band. Compiled from the years 1982 to 1987, it includes a wealth of archival photographs, an essay by original member Andy McGregor, who also designed the sleeve, and essays by longtime friend Shirley Manson (Garbage, Goodbye Mr. MacKenzie) and author Alastair McKay, an early champion of the band. The release features the first legendary John Peel Session, produced by Dale Griffin and originally br…
Muriel Grossmann Plays The Music Of McCoy Tyner And Grateful Dead
At first glance, the idea that McCoy Tyner and the Grateful Dead might share musical DNA seems like a stretch. One built frameworks to support Coltrane’s spiritual flights—rewriting the jazz harmony playbook while turning chords into flexible architecture. The others were a San Francisco circus of psychedelic chaos and Americana grooves, an improvising rock band whose mythology often overshadowed their musicianship. On the surface, Tyner and the Dead appear to come from different galaxies. But l…
Nana Butu
Sissi Rada invites listeners to traverse the profound boundary between life on earth and the great beyond with Nana Butu, a mesmerizing new vinyl release that unfolds as an intimate audio essay. This double-sided opus traces the liminal space where earthly existence meets the ethereal unknown, blending experimental soundscapes, raw emotion, and otherworldly textures into a deeply immersive experience.
Written, performed, recorded, and mixed entirely by Sissi Rada, Nana Butu showcases the artist'…
Infinity Zero
From the same producer who brought you Brahja, Kadef, EEG Coherence, Watermelancholia and Nebulizer, Infinity Zero offers yet another journey through shimmering soundscapes, soulful expression and rhythmical trance. “Modern jazz multi-instrumentalist, Devin Brahja Waldman, is an underrated force to be reckoned with, within the international alternative jazz scene. Brahja (the band) is an exemplary collective of musicians, all who fall in-line with modern jazz philosophy and have reflected it wit…
Sounds Heard from the Moon Part 2
** Hand numbered edition of 250 ** There is a profound resonance between the practices of Nam June Paik and Park Jiha - separated by generations yet united by a shared impulse to dissolve boundaries between Korean tradition and contemporary expression. Paik, the pioneer of video art, wove shamanic ritual and Buddhist philosophy into the fabric of technological media; Park Jiha channels ancient instrumental voices through the sensibility of experimental minimalism. Both artists inhabit a liminal …
Kathy Smith / 2
With Kathy Smith / 2, Kathy Smith pushes her Stormy Forest songcraft into a shimmering intersection of jazz, psych-folk and California road-dust. Brass, flutes and subtle funk currents coil around a voice that feels both weathered and luminous, turning outsider singer-songwriter reveries into widescreen, late‑night epiphanies.
Gather in the mushrooms
Compiled by Bob Stanley, Gather in the Mushrooms distils the British acid folk underground into a single, hallucinatory fireside. Drawing on 60s and 70s obscurities, it traces a lineage of homemade mysticism, radical withdrawal and fragile, autumnal songcraft that still feels eerily contemporary.
The North Star Grassman and the Ravens
The North Star Grassman and the Ravens finds Sandy Denny stepping from the wreckage of Fotheringay into a dreamlike solo territory, where maritime omens, cryptic elegies and barroom detours collide. The arrangements are spare yet spectral, framing lyrics that read like riddles whispered to the tide.
Human Hair
*100 copies limited edition* Two pillars of New York's underground converge. Human Hair brings together Pat Murano and Richard Hoffman - both long-running fixtures of the city's most uncompromising experimental scenes - for an album that slithers, coils, and eventually leaves you floating in open space before you realize the lifeline has slipped from your hands.
The pedigree here is formidable. Hoffman's work with Sightings (one of the best bands to ever emerge from NYC, full stop), Insayngel, a…
Ted
*100 copies limited edition* A restless voyage on an electronic ocean of infinite sound. With TED, Brooklyn's Daksina label delivers one of its most ambitious and unclassifiable releases yet - a sprawling two-part journey through LIN11C's dense universe of fractured electronics, spectral voices, and orchestral wreckage.
Across two extended pieces totaling over thirty minutes, TED unfolds like a transmission from some waterlogged future. Clarion calls ring out across cavernous spaces while ghost…
Further Than Thought
180g black vinyl with poly-lined black paper sleeve and double-sided insert. There's a lineage of American fingerstyle guitar that runs from the Piedmont porches of Elizabeth Cotten through Robbie Basho's visionary expansions into spiritual territory - and then, somehow, into the waters. With his second full-length album, Brooklyn-based guitarist Ben Van Bonn acknowledges these predecessors while floating wordlessly into terrain they never mapped.
Further Than Thought is aquatic music in the tru…
Trombi
Finland's Augustus Pablo strikes again! The fourth album by this Nordic melodica wizard delivers deep authentic roots reggae the way it should be done - heavy instrumental vibes, skillful melodica playing and compelling organ work wrapped in a classic rockers manner. Lightman does it ALL himself - writing, arranging, playing, producing, recording, mixing and mastering. One-man roots army! Cover art by Arsi Keva, silkscreened on recycled old LP sleeves - each copy unique. Ultraääni Records contin…
