Après la Marée Noire
If the jazz of François Tusques is “free”, his spirit is even more so: having recorded Free Jazz with other like-minded Frenchmen (Michel Portal, François Jeanneau, Bernard Vitet, Beb Guérin and Charles Saudrais), the pianist had covered a lot of ground, with Barney Wilen (Le Nouveau Jazz) or even solo (Piano Dazibao and Dazibao N°2), so as not to repeat himself…
In 1971 he founded the Inter Communal Free Dance Music Orchestra which, as the notes the this album stated, “is an interpretation of a…
Vol. 4 Jo Maka
Rerelease of the fourth album of the Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra recorded with the Guinean saxophonist Jo Maka. The title says it all: Vol.4 – Jo Maka. The Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra was created in 1971 by an “old hand” of French free jazz, François Tusques. Free Jazz, was also the name of the recording made by the pianist and other like-minded Frenchmen (Michel Portal, François Jeanneau, Bernard Vitet, Beb Guérin and Charles Saudrais) in 1965. But, six years later Tus…

Materialistic Aesthetics And Memory Illusions
An analysis of Mike Kelley's work as a position in materialist philosophy, which appears as the feature that is most at stake in his artistic practice, focusing on the pieces he produced around the issue of memory––his leitmotiv from 1995 onward. Mike Kelley is best known as one of the most influential visual artists of his generation. But he was also an insightful theorist who wrote profusely about his work as well as on aesthetics in the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s, an epoch marked, in his view, b…
Fusion! – From Alice Coltrane to Moor Mother
The role of jazz as a catalyst in rock, pop, funk, new wave, hip-hop, and techno. From music writer Alex Coles, Fusion! From Alice Coltrane to Moor Mother traces the origins and legacy of blended musical genres by focusing on twelve dynamic collaborations. From Alice Coltrane working with Carlos Santana in 1974 to Moor Mother sharing the mic with Wolf Weston in 2022, the collaborations-cum-chapters reveal how musicians pursue fusion as a process. With sonic fusion always premised on cultural fus…
Waltz For Tiger Joe
*2025 stock* First time vinyl reissue of the privately pressed Aussie Jazz Rock LP. The genealogy of two musicians, keyboardist Oleg Ditrich and bassist Michael Vidale, started in 1973 with the band Aragorn and continued to Bedtime Story - Snakes Alive - Original Steps - Stepps- Stepps2, for about 5 years. In that short period of time, the group's name was changed six times, and musically it changed from progressive rock to jazz rock. Surprisingly, all of the groups listed above left behind good…
Kestrel
2025 stock. Lacquer cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. With Obi Kestrel was a UK band that disbanded soon after releasing an unsung prog-rock gem of an album in 1975. Boasting an abundance of technical musicianship and inhabiting a space somewhere between golden-age prog and AOR, the band was defined by their sophisticated sense of melody and exquisite sonic balance. Unfortunately, and probably because they were so far ahead of their time, the album failed to chart and is remembered only amon…
SOVT
'SOVT' is an album containing one 55-minute piece, written for piano by Sarah Hennies in 2017. SOVT stands for Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract which refers to vocal exercises that strengthens the voice by helping the vocal cords vibrate more efficiently. One may practice SOVT exercises by singing with a straw in the mouth which regulates air pressure and reduces strain on the vocal folds. Hennies encountered these exercises in a class on so-called “voice feminization” for transgender women which also …
Enjoy Country Music
Tommaso Rolando and Domiziano Maselli met at the release party for Emilio Pozzolini's latest album, thanks to Emilio's invitation. This proved to be a pivotal moment; Tommaso's planned tour of southern France had been cancelled due to COVID-related disruptions within Orchestra Bailam. Since that concert, the duo has shared common ground—stages, rehearsal spaces, video calls—and a shared goal: developing a genuine and personal musical vocabulary.Despite their different backgrounds and generationa…
Then I Heard The Clear Voice Of The Flute
"Then I heard the clear voice of the flute" is the 10th solo album by Ido Bukelman. In the last ten years, all of Bukelman's albums have been recorded live, during his solo tours in Europe, and this album is his first studio album since 2014. The new album consists of improvised pieces for bowed banjo and acoustic guitar, but includes one vocal piece with lyrics, as well as one old folk song "The Flute" - a debut expression of Bukelman's many years of exploring into folk music from the Middle Ea…
Gatha
*200 copies limited edition* Laden with abstraction - one foot in the ethereal, mysterious, and ancient past, the other arching into unknown futures yet to be seen - “Gatha” is a total world, imagistically rising through sound. Saz, tanpura, sarangi, autoharp, synths, bells, flute, percussion and numerous other acoustic sound sources, intertwine in a droning, delicately percussive tapestry, amounting to a brilliant musical hybrid, the depths of which few have realised since the days of La Monte …
Blue Veil
Black vinyl. Edition of 700. The first release to document the solo cello work of musician and composer Lucy Railton, the 40-minute composition Blue Veil recorded at Église du Saint-Esprit in Paris invites listeners into the realm of precision-tuned states of resonance: states made manifest through Railton’s careful traversal of her cello's most subtle acoustic characteristics as they harmonically interlock with mind’s embodied modalities of attention and imagination. Blue Veil arises out of, is…
Interior Music
After a collage tape collab with Bardo Todol back in 2022 (SUC52, Magnetic Road to Hell) Robert Millis finally gets his Discrepant debut proper, a much overdue entryin our random catalogue of lost musical oddities.
The not so self explanatory title Interior Music explores Millis obsession with hidden sounds and its anomalies. An hermetic rearrangement of emptiness could be another more big headed title. But I leave the man to talk about his thing:
‘’The phrase interior music occurred to me a few…

In Space
Edith Frost breaks a very long silence with her first album since 2005! In Space revitalizes the timeless luminescence of her voice and songcraft with twelve new songs that take measure of isolation beyond the horizon of memory. Freezing time, then cracking it into crystalline shards, Edith discovers space everywhere she travels, within her and without her. A way-out country soul expression charting a heartening renewal of commitment and form.
Piece Of Mind (Lp)
*2025 stock.t with obi-strip* Originally released in 1972, this sole album from New Zealand trio Serenity is a folk-rock masterpiece with elements of blues, psychedelic rock and jazz interweaved. Sounding somewhat like a folk rock version of Cream, this is another Holy Grail of acid folk / psychedelic folk rock, with originals almost impossible to find. Immediately sold-out after the initial reissue back in 2000, it has been on many collectors’ want list. With the album finally seeing a limited …
The Short And Foolish Quest Of Sylovar And Hrud
NEVER APPROACH THE GODS OF THE IMMATERIAL PLANS WITHOUT POWER, KNOWLEDGE AND A CLEAR MIND! Heimat der Katastrophe is very happy to present the album by Silencio Permanente, a dungeon synth champion from Argentina! The album, based on an original screenplay by the underground heroic-fantasy writer Gian Spazz, is a little, vintage ambient jewel, halfway between the golden era of New Age music and the 80's horror movies soundtracks. In this album the dungeon-synth meets the great names of the ambie…
The Empire Of The Necromancers
Gosh!! A smelling, rotting ooze invaded the HDK offices!A bleak and morbid tape spins in our ghettoblasters: it's "The Empire of the Necromancers" by the necrophilist musician Doom Catacomb, a hymn to the dark recesses of humid dungeons...
Inspired by the omonymous novel of the divine Clark Ashton Smith (1893 – 1961) "Empire of the Necromancers" is a little, intense album of classic dungeon-synth music, devoted to the pioneers from the glorious 90s.
Abyss
It's pitch black, freezing cold and the water pressure is unbearable: we are in the depths of the sea, where sunlight no longer penetrates. The deep ocean remain full of mysteries for man: dark places where only partially known creatures live.
The series that Doom Catacomb has dedicated to the most inhospitable places on planet Earth continues: after the perennial ice of "Polar" and the boiling deserts of "Arid" it is now the turn of the ocean depths. "Abyss" is an inexorable and exciting descen…
