My Point Of View

Mosaic
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On Mosaic, Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers show exactly why the band became a kind of graduate school for hard bop. This edition of the Messengers fields Freddie Hubbard on trumpet, Curtis Fuller on trombone, Wayne…
Triple Cool Hang
On Triple Cool Hang, Family Underground turn two decades of haze into a single spool of time, threading freezing‑church jams, Brooklyn collaborations, and after‑hours Copenhagen séances into deep, slow‑burning cuts that hum with tape hiss and lived‑i…
Rosacea
Rosacea, the new album by Norwegian experimental guitarist Gaute Granli, channels distortion, absurdity, and raw emotion into a delirious yet finely structured noise-folk ritual. Released in October 2025 on the Egyptian label Nashazphone, the record …
Kachouzu
On Kachouzu, Merzbow compresses his late‑period harshness into four short movements, a 2×6″ lathe‑cut blast where metallic textures, searing feedback and dense midrange roar behave less like tracks than like successive cross‑sections of the same nois…
Antibox
With Antibes, The New Blockaders compress twelve years of activity into a fiercely curated 4CD set, 100 copies only, each hand‑signed and uniquely defaced. It plays like a late‑period labyrinth: alternates, rarities, and lost shards arranged as a sin…
Succès De Scandale
On Succès De Scandale, The New Blockaders exhume and reframe their own history, collaging a feral 1984 Morden Tower performance with later materials into a single, rust‑coloured slab of anti‑music that feels like the group’s original sabotage reactiv…
Pierrot
At a time when most bands in the post-Group Sounds boom were gravitating toward British rock, Hiroshi Segawa stood out as one of the few artists exploring country and southern rock sung in Japanese. "Pierrot" represents a peak in that pursuit, backed…
The Sisters
A heretical symbol of Rare Groove, with its alternative and avant-garde ferocity! Irvine Weldon's 1973 masterpiece, which continues to have a wide influence around the world even today! Although it is based on jazz, it is a work released in 1973 that…
'79 Live
’79 Live catches Friction right as Japanese punk is mutating into something stranger and more angular, a December 1979 set that sounds like it was recorded with the mics pointed straight at the band’s collective nervous system. The trio are all attac…
Friction
The 1980 album Friction (軋轢, literally “friction”) stands as the moment Friction stop being a rumour from the Tokyo underground and become a fully formed threat on record. It is their first LP and the only one to feature singer Masatoshi Tsunematsu a…
Live at "Ex Mattatoio" in Roma
Recorded on 28 August 1984 at the Japan Japan Festival in Rome and originally issued the following year on the Marz label, Live At "Ex Mattatoio" In Roma captures Friction far from home but fully in their element. Playing inside the former abattoir o…
Live, Pass Tour '80
Live Pass Tour ’80 captures Friction at the precise moment their legend hardens into tape. Recorded during the Pass Tour at Kanagawa University in 1980, just as the band were releasing their first full‑length 軋轢 = Friction, this set has been describe…
Collusion And Collaboration
Avant-garde multi-woodwind maestro Vinny Golia and innovative bassist-vocalist-composer Kelsey Mines unite in a dynamic duo recording. Stripping back to just their voices and instruments, this collaboration delivers finely nuanced interplay where Gol…
Holy Trinity
Rooted in Altman's exploratory practice, she weaves clarinet alongside a sparse palette of preparations, objects, tapes, and feedback. She crafts a series of pieces that are at once delicate and textural yet bold and expressive that reflect both the …
Lament For The Maker
“In 2022, with the closing of Mills College imminent and my bicoastal life coming to an end along with it, I requested of my colleagues works I could perform to mark this loss, honor the school's great legacy, and conclude the thirteen years I spent …
Izipoh Zam (My Gifts)
Two years after the death of his mentor and boss, John Coltrane, and just before signing his own contract with Impulse!, Pharoah Sanders finally got around to releasing an album as a leader apart from the Impulse! family. Enlisting a cast of characte…
Marquee Moon
On Marquee Moon, Television reinvent rock as tense, skeletal architecture, eight songs built from interlocking guitars, nervous poetry, and negative space, culminating in a title track that turns a ten‑minute solo into pure street‑lit vertigo.
Un Biglietto del Tram
On Un biglietto del tram, Stormy Six turn the Italian Resistance into living song, nine pieces where folk‑rock, progressive detail, and militant clarity fuse into one of the sharpest, most moving political albums of the 1970s.
