De Salla Jaktmarkerna
300 copies only! De Sälla Jaktmarkerna brings together Sewer Election and Ån for a collaborative work recorded during 2024 in Kortedala, on the outskirts of Gothenburg. The album represents a meeting point between two distinct voices in the Gothenburg experimental scene. Dan Johansson (Sewer Election) has spent recent years exploring increasingly nuanced territories in synthesized sound. Here, he collaborates with Matz Engdahl (Ån), a late bloomer in the milieu around Longest Night whose acclai…
Via Lattea
Via Lattea is the new recording project of the music and performance research ensemble Enten Hitti. The work takes inspiration from research on the “feminine” and from the matrilineal transmission of life. It is the result of various research trips to the places where the culture of the “sacred female” took shape over 4000 years ago: Cyprus, Crete, Turkey, Ireland, South Africa, Indonesia … The historical and geographical suggestions have been freely reinterpreted and transformed into musical pi…
Freedom, Rhythm & Sound (Chapter Two)
Hardcover, 297x297mm, 224pp. Over 15 years after the groundbreaking first volume, Soul Jazz Records returns with Freedom, Rhythm & Sound: Chapter Two - a stunning visual documentation of revolutionary jazz artwork from the 1960s-1980s. Originally compiled by Gilles Peterson and Stuart Baker, this expanded second volume dives deeper into the radical graphic universe of independently published jazz records.
The story begins with the first generation of African American jazz artists who transformed…
My Hair Is Everywhere
Rooted in improvisation and guided by openness, the Klinck Trio—Adia Vanheerentals (saxophone, voice), Maya Dhondt (piano, voice), and Elisabeth Klinck (violin, voice)—crafts music where sound and silence are equally vital. Their debut album is an exploration of fragility, unfolding like a delicate conversation in which each note is chosen with intention and every pause carries presence. Recorded in the summer of 2024 at Studio Ledeberg, 'My Hair Is Everywhere' captures a moment in time: three m…
Through The Wall
A trickle of audio fragments exchanged between two locked down bedrooms becomes a flood of sound, emotion and connection.
Sùrtum
Massimo Silverio is one of the most distinctive names in the new Italian music scene, carving out a niche within the independent landscape with his unconventional idea of songwriting — influenced by the folklore of Carnia, electronic textures, and a highly personal approach to songwriting.
Surtùm arrives two years after Hrudja (2023), the album that established Silverio as one of the most intriguing emerging artists in Italy, blending the metalinguistic folklore of Sigur Rós, the gothic arrangem…
The Sympathy Portal
*300 copies limited edition* Recorded during lockdown and previously only available as a CDr self-released in an edition of 99 in 2022, The Sympathy Portal collects four tracks (one of which is divided into three parts) that make full use of Edward Ka-Spel’s command of melodies, cosmic churn, subtle field recordings, percolated vocals, hypno-rhythms, tempered noise, broken clocks, atmospheric keyboards, uncoiling springs and carefully hewn dynamics. Coupled to often despairing or melancholic lyr…
Sound Of The Wetlands
*300 copies limited edition* This album is the result of a collaboration between composers and sound artists based in Valdivia, Chile, and London, UK. It was inspired by the long-running SoundLapse project at the Universidad Austral de Chile, where recordings of the wetlands around Valdivia were used within various ecological, educational, and creative projects. Composers and artists from both cities met to discuss the SoundLapse project, and discussed ways in which we might collaborate. Recordi…
Psychedelic Underground
Temporary reduced price. LP version. 180 gram vinyl, gatefold sleeve. The debut album from the original Amon Düül commune collective, released in 1969, stands as one of the most radical and uncompromising documents of the entire German underground scene. This is not Amon Düül II - this is the larger, more chaotic collective that spawned the more structured offshoot, and Psychedelic Underground captures their approach in all its raw, untamed glory.
Recorded in a single marathon session, the albu…
Operation
Temporary reduced price. The second album from Birth Control, originally released in 1971, captures the band at a crucial turning point - moving from their blues-rock foundations into far more adventurous progressive and experimental territory. Led by vocalist Bernd Noske, with Bruno Frenzel on guitars and keyboards, Reinhold Sobotta on drums, and Bernd Koschmidder on bass, the group delivered one of the most powerful statements in early German rock.
Operation showcases Birth Control's remarkabl…
Dreamlab
Temporary reduced price. LP version. The second album from Berlin-based electronic group Mythos, originally released in 1975, represents a crucial bridge between the cosmic folk of their debut and the full-blown Berlin school sound that would dominate the second half of the decade. Mastermind Stephan Kaske guided the band into deeper electronic territories here, crafting sound cascades and sequencer patterns that align them with the visionary work of Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel on the same…
Cosmic Century
Temporary reduced price. The third album from Wallenstein, originally released in 1973, stands as the band's definitive statement and one of the peak achievements of the entire Kosmische Musik movement. Led by keyboardist Jürgen Dollase and guitarist Bill Barone, the group had evolved from their earlier heavy progressive sound into something far more expansive and cosmic in scope.
Cosmic Century is exactly what its title promises - a journey through infinite space rendered in swirling synthesize…
Hölderlins Traum
Temporary reduced price. The debut album from Hölderlins Traum, centered around the family core of brothers Christian and Jochen Grumbcow, with Nanny Grumbcow (Christian's wife) providing the lead vocals. Originally released on Pilz in 1972 and recorded with Dieter Dierks - the same studio wizard who transformed Bröselmaschine and Emtidi's visions into sonic reality - this album represents something truly special in the German progressive folk landscape.
What could have been a straightforward fo…
Saat
* 180g, black vinyl * Recording in a good studio in 1972 with an accomplished engineer/musician such as Dieter Dierks (Ash Ra Tempel, Cosmic Jokers, Tangerine Dream, and yes, the Scorpions), certainly enabled Emtidi to expand their musical style on 'Saat.' The end result was a shimmering, lush cosmic folk trip, with multi-tracked and treated acoustic guitars plus electric piano, fragile angelic femme vocals, vibes, and mellotron, (punctuated by the occasional acid guitar solo). Yes, 'Saat' is an…
Stay Still
"A sociolinguist, composer, and writer, Erell Latimier explores the aesthetic, poetic, and political dimensions of language, with a particular focus on speech. In her compositional work, she engages in an infinitely precise process of setting her writings to sound, concentrating on the interaction between fragments of her texts—interpreted by voices—and sounds, whether collected or created, which are assembled into rich and shadowy semantic echoes. These disrupted discourses function as ghostly …
Transmisión Líquida Ceremonial
"Transmission Líquida Ceremonial", a triptych work by bruja Maya Púrpura, traverses with serene force the multiple dimensions of versatile harsh noise.
Torrential undulations with powerful textures glide through the constantly shifting and renewing material of restorative melancholy. The vital pulse that runs through this record floats and buries itself simultaneously in the abyss where remedy and poison coexist, like mistletoe, a druidic plant with aerial roots that never touches the ground, bl…
Nothing Left Untouched
Industrial Music 2000, we don't know if we're rewinding or if the future is already here. Looking up the chimney, there are installations that haven't moved in ages, canvases dusty like smoke. It's nice to sit by the fireplace, the rhythms and drones vibrating. Another cassette that will play over and over again on the best cassette players in Creuse.
Apocrypha Solo Piano
"Once upon a time before dubstep, there was MXLX. A pre-teen pioneer pisstaker from the same era that spat out Black Dice, Liars, Lightning Bolt, Sunn O))), he's been forging his posi-noise/negi-trance universe 'The Croatoa Institute' for decades now. Matthew Loveridge, the lovable hater you hate to love presents a suite of post-modern minimal piano. I don't know anything about pianos but it reminds me a bit of Su Tissue's 'Salon De Musique' and Luciano Cilio's 'Dialoghi Del Presente'. I love th…
Chinatown Hennessy
*50 copies limited edition* "When I had carefully considered that the misery of this life would only be ended by blissful death, I observed that human wandering on earth should be compared . . . to the restless sea, which, when churned up with agitated waves, causes incessant danger to the corporeal ship propelled here and there on an uncertain course, and causes the sailor . . . to be utterly ignorant of how he might by chance bring his ship to an unknown port of good fortune. Thus it happens t…
Broselmaschine
Temporary reduced price. The self-titled debut from Bröselmaschine, originally released on Pilz in 1971, stands as one of the most distinctive statements in the entire Krautrock canon. This recent reissue captures the band's remarkable fusion of acoustic folk traditions with electric experimentation - a sound that emerged from the fertile German underground scene but carved its own unique path.
Led by guitarist Peter Bursch (who would later become a legendary figure in German folk music), the gr…
