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…

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…
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

Demos (1973-75) Vol. 2
Volume 2 Since their debut album release in 1975, Azymuth have risen to rank alongside the world’s greatest jazz, funk and fusion artists. As young men in Rio de Janeiro, they stood out for both their exceptional talent as musicians, and their wild rock‘n’roll antics in the predominantly middle-class worlds of bossa nova and jazz. Their signature “Samba Doido” (crazy samba) sound ruptured the tried and tested musical structures of the day, resulting in what can only be described as an electric, …

Blue Train
"We’re listening to Blue Train, which to me is one of the most beautiful pieces on one of the most beautiful records that Coltrane recorded in the fifties. It’s his first real mature statement and he wrote all but one of the tunes on this album which was very rare in the fifties and each one is a gem, particularly the title tune Blue Train. And while it’s kind of easy to play the blues, this has a suspended and haunting kind of quality to it." - Michael Cuscuna
A Bossa Muito Moderna

Deodato, Randy Brecker, Mongo Santamaria, Tito Puente, Cal Tjader, and several others). First released in 1963, this is a marvelous example of bossa jazz album featuring the highly syncopated drums grooves of Milton Banana and Amaury Rodriguez's Afro-Cuban flavore…

Katatonic Silentio
Captured in the immersive cocoon of the Hypnose Room during the 2023 edition of La Nature, this debut release on Fleur Sauvage is a raw transmission of Katatonic Silentio’s improvisational live ritual. Split into four parts across two 12” records, this work moves between experimental abstraction, textured noise, and cinematic ambient. Tension runs like a thread through each piece—sometimes humming beneath the surface, sometimes rupturing into visceral sonic peaks that leave you breathless. Deep …
Recollections III–IV
In 2018, Glonti started collecting LPs of Soviet-era Georgian composers at Tbilisi’s “Dry Bridge” flea market. The records mostly consisted of classical and chamber music released on Melodiya, the singular, state owned record label of the USSR. It was through this process that the idea of Recollection was born, as Glonti aimed to create an album that would utilize samples from his growing collection. Recollection III-IV marks the second in a planned series of 7” releases, each built from Glonti’…
The Marylebone Greenwave
*2025 stock* “There have been quite a few conceptual records about the life cycle, however, ‘The Marylebone Greenwave’ stands out with its diversity and aim at the observations of the main protagonists. These are Eddie Stevens and Daniel Darriba who―as Post Office―have refined this musically complicated debut for years. Its imagination often takes your breath away.” ― Musicserver
