Eternity's Children
Originally released in 1968 on Capitol’s Tower Records sublabel during the vibrant heyday of the hippie revolution, Eternity's Children remains a luminous example of the era's musical innovation. Emerging amidst the psychedelic explosion, the band carved out a unique space with their blend of sunshine pop deeply infused with West Coast influences and folk revivalist sounds.
After extensive touring alongside notable acts like Strawberry Alarm Clock, the Seeds, and the Blues Magoos, Eternity's Chi…
Bedlam
The English blues revival played a crucial role in shaping a new generation of performers and spawning diverse sub-genres. Emerging from this movement, the hard rock revolution ignited with the powerful riffs of Cream and their contemporaries, paving the way for a fresh wave known as the “British invasion.”
Among the impactful yet brief contributors to this era was Bedlam, a four-piece band that released a single studio album in 1973. At the heart of the band was the formidable drummer Cozy Powe…
Eternal Life Makes Your Past Grow Too Big
*100 copies limited edition* One Instrument welcomes Morning Seance, composer and sound artist, originally from Italy and based in Vienna. On this debut LP, Morning Seance traces a drifting narrative composed of unstable harmonies, fluid structures, and ghostlike forms. The album unfolds like a dream told in fragments, oscillating between fluctuating pulses and decaying transmissions, from nocturnal stillness to acoustic mirages. The first half of the record moves through zones of suspended tens…

Gagaku Suites
Tip! Gagaku is the oldest of the Japanese performing arts, with a history more than a thousand years old. The term refers to Japanese classical music and dance, traditionally performed by families of musicians linked to the ancient Imperial court, and later passed down in Buddhist temple ceremonies and Shinto shrines. Shiba Sukeyasu, founder and director of the Reigakusha ensemble, descends from the Koma clan, whose origins date back to the end of the 10th century.
The recordings partly reflect …
Holding on to Wonder
In times of infobesity and doomscrolling, maintaining a sense of wonder can be hard - especially for those who depend on it for their work. For all those involved in the arts, but also for anyone else who likes to be inspired by previously unimagined combinations of ideas, here is the perfect album: a sung conversation between artists, a voyage through the sonic multiverse, a musical invitation to re-widen those eyes.
On ‘Holding on to Wonder’, contemporary jazz corresponds with 70s cop show sou…
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…
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…
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…
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…

Bells, Boots And Shambles
Bells, Boots and Shambles by Spirogyra channels existential uncertainty, merging folk roots with progressive and classical flourishes. Anchored by delicate instrumentation and the crystalline voice of Gaskin, the album remains a deeply emotive exploration of loss, hope, and ambiguity, earning its reputation as a pivotal yet underappreciated work in progressive folk history.
Farewell to the Night
Farewell to the Night by Ethan Syann is an immersive album released through the IIKKI label, offering a contemplative journey through ambient and cinematic textures. Spanning six tracks, it gently blurs the boundary between experimental soundscape and evocative minimalism, creating a space for reflection and nocturnal introspection. Its subtle layers and atmospheric depth exemplify Syann’s refined and measured approach to sound design.
Poco Prima dell'Aurora
Poco Prima dell'Aurora represents a significant collaboration between Ivano Fossati and Oscar Prudente, released in 1973. This transitional album weaves together folk-pop textures and progressive echoes, reflecting the vibrant creativity of Italian songwriting in the early seventies. Marked by solid arrangements and lyrical depth, its enduring freshness lies in both its authenticity and the synergy between two distinct musical voices.
J’Accuse... Amore Mio
J’Accuse... Amore Mio marks a pivotal moment in the career of Faust’O, standing as a radical and ambitious album within the Italian new wave scene. The work delves into urban alienation and existential discomfort through avant-garde sounds, nihilistic lyrics, and an intense metropolitan atmosphere. Its experimental approach and emotive currents secure its place as a distinctive and influential release in Italian pop-rock history.
