L'Héritier
A long-awaited reissue of one of the most compelling scores in 1970s French cinema. Originally released in 1973, L'héritier reveals Michel Colombier at his most cinematic and experimental—blending downtempo funk, psych-prog atmospheres, and early electronic abstraction into a rich, dramatic soundworld. Now officially reissued for the first time by Transversales Disques, this deluxe 2025 edition restores the original recordings and expands the experience with five previously unreleased tracks fro…
Rai Sidi Bel Abbes - Volume 2
A captivating compilation of eight tracks by Drissi El-Abbassi, Rai Sidi Bel Abbes – Volume 2 explores the fusion of traditional Raï music with modern electronic elements, highlighting El-Abbassi's soft vocal style and innovative approach to the genre's evolution
Insolence
Two masters of free improvisation—Evan Parker and Jean-Marc Foussat—meet live in Insolence. Soprano sax and electronics intertwine in deep, lyrical tension. A vital transgenerational document.
Rammed Earth
A delirious plunge into absurdist tape collages and haunted electronics, this long-buried artifact resurfaces with eerie timeliness—a disorienting mix of degraded loops, dark humor, and fractured noise. A grotesque masterpiece of West Coast sonic dadaism.
Autonomous Rex
Unearthed mid-’90s tape/noise experimentations by Stuart Dennison (Ramleh, Skullflower). Recorded in solitude with loops, delay, and whispers, Autonomous Rex is a raw dispatch from the uncompromising fringes of UK underground sound.
Zulu Guitar Blues - Cowboys, Troubadours and Jilted Lovers 1950-1965
Zulu Guitar's Pioneering Tricksters, but for this compilation of rescued songs masterfully restored from rare 78 rpm shellacs, few could imagine the diversely beautiful roots of Zulu Guitar Music emerging during the period 1950 – 1965. Story-tellers and master musicians appropriate outlaw personae, re-purpose country and western, Hawaiian and other styles, to stretch and challenge our notion of “the Zulu guitar”. Twenty-five songs (18 on vinyl) plunge us into the depths of the migrant experience…
Black Soul
Ground-breaking afro-rock and jazz with Memphis soul roots on this lost 1972 gem.
Music For a Revolution Vol 1
On October 2 1958, after over 60 years of colonial rule, Guineans voted overwhelmingly for their independence, and Guinea was declared a Republic with Sékou Touré as President. Guinea was the first of West Africa’s Francophone colonies to gain independence. To free Guinea from its colonial legacy, president Touré sought to restore dignity to his nation and give cause for Guineans to take pride in their culture, history and newfound freedom. To achieve this, he instructed his government to implem…
Yorkston / Jaycock / Langendorf
Scottish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist James Yorkston, English guitarist David A. Jaycock, and Swedish saxophonist Lina Langendorf unite in a collaborative album that seamlessly weaves together elements of folk, jazz, and atmospheric soundscapes. This project, born from longstanding friendships and mutual musical admiration, offers a richly textured journey—both intimate and expansive. The album's genesis lies in Yorkston's enduring partnership with Jaycock, dating back to their co…
Baraka 1980
After the groundbreaking Comme à la Radio, energized by the free jazz tumult of the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Brigitte Fontaine and Areski Belkacem produced six albums together or separately between 1972 and 1977. While French pop of the time was marked by lush orchestrations, Fontaine and Belkacem’s songs were often recorded live, typically accompanied only by guitar and percussion, or performed a cappella. This minimalist approach focused attention on the subversive poetry of the lyrics and the…
The Way Of Time
The Way Of Time takes loose inspiration from Elizabeth Madox Roberts’ novel The Time Of Man, sampling Joan Lorring’s voice from the 1951 radio play adaptation of the novel. Biosphere’s signature ambient loops, soothing arctic synths and melodies combine with Lorring’s sweet, wistful and deep-south wonderings to create a record that is both deeply human and searching.
Lost Coast: Some Visionary Music From California
A collection of obscure and unheard metaphysical sounds, 1980-1992
In Transit
In Transit by the duo Lia Kohl & Zander Raymond (Chicago) is built around a collection of field recordings made in spaces of transit—bus stops, train stations, taxis—blended with the accordion and modular synthesizers textures of Zander Raymond, and the cello and synthesizers of Lia Kohl. The record features eight instrumental tracks, composed from these raw captures of transient zones, harmonized and enriched with musical treatments and arrangements. Combining acoustic and electronic sources, t…
Negrea Love Dub
By the end of the 1970s Linval Thompson had cut out a successful dual career for himself as both singer and producer. Naturally he moved in the dub field as well, getting further use out of rhythms he used in his other works. Dub had begun strictly as an album format with limited pressing runs for scene insiders, but it had swiftly gained the interest of the rank and file reggae buffs. 'Negrea Love Dub', originally released in 1978, is a cornerstone in the reggae dub scene.
Linval Thompson produ…
Electronic Music
First released in 1969 on the Advanced Recordings label, this album represents Richard Maxfield’s music manifesto. A wild collage of highly manipulated sonic events from an extreme variety of analog sources.
Sun
The heart sits and takes in all wakes of the universe. A blessing to discover sound and how it enters the body and is shared to all. I feel the sound wraps in and out of my heart and pours through the saxophone. Searching, discovering the Creator. I pray this music reaches into your heart, goes all the way to the deepest place and blossoms up the most beautiful gardens of joy and love, curiosity. I am forever grateful to meet souls such as Lex, Miguel, and Caroline. Through these recordings I po…
Lema
In the Minoan culture of Crete, the sea was seen as a transitional zone to reach the afterlife. The sun reflected on the water took on the features of a path to follow in order to be reborn into a new life. Angeli crosses this place of passage, leaving behind granite for a sweeping lava-like transformation. While Lema passes through the concept of loss, within the space of his guitar-orchestra, the Sardinian musician celebrates an album that embraces both tradition and musical countercultures, c…
Arbejde er det, der adskiller os fra dyrene
Haxholm & Kirstein's performance installation is a carefully planned two-day process involving smoke, lime, various containers, sound, movement and physical work - inside and outside the museum's grounds. The work explores connections between the sublime and the banal, between the work of the day and the elongated time of the material. Between these poles are energy exchanges and feedback processes that transform and dissolve themselves. The duo's works address a field between performative sound…
Gris-Gris
2025 stock 2013 repress, black vinyl. "1968 debut album from the king of the psychedelic bayou -- the hypnotic, mystical and powerful sound of the swamp coming to life. As he became Dr. John (real name Mac Rebennack), it was his LA session work with musicians like Sonny & Cher, Canned Heat, and Zappa that allowed him to start conjuring up his visions of guitar psych-pop to walk alongside his authentic New Orleans upbringing. While Gris Gris contains moments that make it a type stamped symbol of …
Get Ready
‘Get Ready’ by the Richard Last Group is one of the rarest LPs from the golden age of Italian progressive rock, originally released in a genre-changing 1972, both in Italy and internationally. Born in Milan in 1969 as Duu Duu, they became Richard Last Group two years later, when singer Maurizio Calò joined the line-up, later calling himself Richard Coley.
‘Get Ready’ is the only album released by the group, which, due to numerous line-up changes that also occurred during the recording of the alb…
