Musical messages from Oslo, New York, Basel and Lugano – recorded between 2018 and 2022 – are juxtaposed and recombined on an absorbing recording that features Norwegian drummer Thomas Strønen solo and in a series of duets . With such partners as Craig Taborn, Chris Potter, Sinikka Langeland and Jorge Rossy, the musical frame of reference is very broad. Elements from Langeland’s’s archaic-sounding folk to Potter’s post-Coltrane saxophone and Taborn’s whirlwind modernist piano each find their p…
*2025 stock * A holy grail! This is one of Marcos Valle's best-ever albums – and it's certainly the one to best realize the larger scope he was heading for in the years after the bossa – that sublime mix of jazz and more expansive arrangements – a perfect fit for the growing sophistication of Valle's songwriting. The record is fantastic – done with a sweeping sound that still leaves us breathless after all these years – and put together with an approach to composition that is virtually indescrib…
*2025 stock * An obscure bit of Brazilian folk rock from the early 70s - recorded with an easygoing, laidback style that's really wonderful! The group's working mostly here in a blend of acoustic guitar and percussion and some of the guitar work is done by Jorge Amiden of O Terco, using a strange three-necked guitar that looks mighty weird in the picture! This instrument seems to be played using a bow at times - creating a "guitar strings" sort of feel that gives the record a bit more class th…
*2025 stock* A sweet electric 70s session from the mighty Joao Donato – very different than his earlier bossa work of the 60s – and with the same funky appeal as the best work on his classic Quem E Quem album! This set's got a tighter feel overall – very much in a samba soul style, with lots of great Brazilian bits mixed up with funk and jazz touches – including a range of great keyboards handled by Donato himself! Drums are by the mighty Wilson Das Neves – who brings in some breaks at a few poi…
When João Donato released “Quem é Quem” in 1973, he had already been in the music industry for over 20 years, gaining national and international recognition. Nevertheless, the album marked the beginning of a new phase in his career: the surprising multi-instrumentalist included lyrics in his songs for the first time. It is one of his most important albums, which now returns to shelves pressed on 180gr matte green coloured vinyl.
Invictam represents Olivia Font’s solo debut, an album co-produced with producer and composer Pedro Vian, set to be released in early 2025 under his label, Modern Obscure Music. This work explores themes of resilience and adaptation after loss, developing these ideas through a sonic journey that blends strings, analog synthesizers, electronics, and experimental percussion. The narrative is guided by a female voice, which, although not the central element, appears intermittently throughout the al…

Aghast was a project by Nebelhexe and Nacht, released in 1994. This album was released back then by the legendary Cold Meat Industry. "Hexerei Im Zwielicht Der Finsternis" is the real dark and gloomy ambiance played in a classical dark wave vein. Minimalism in musical content, compensated by spooky and ice-cold vocals that will haunt you. Macabre enchantresses will seduce you and take you to their ghastly realm. Hear gods cry and angels fall. Listen to horror and beauty. Let Aghast bewitch you! …
*199 copies limited edition* Originally released in 1987, this album stands as a defining statement of the Japanese noise and industrial music scene - an unrelenting fusion of harsh and heavy electronics paired with mechanized rhythms. The brainchild of Ichiro Tsuji, Dissecting Table’s sonic assault exists in the same lineage as the dystopian brutality of Whitehouse, the mechanical terror of early SPK and the raw sonic deconstruction of early Einstürzende Neubauten. At the crossroads of noise, i…

*100 copies limited edition* Totally concentrated, this album captures the birth of new ideas almost every minute – each emerging, disappearing instantly, and making way for the next. Reminiscent of Elliott Sharp’s 'Phlogiston' and the works of Roland Kayn, it balances mystique with accessibility. A masterpiece and a true classic of electronic music.
*100 copies limited edition* Con's rhythmic explorations, carried out over 18 years from 1982, culminated in this full 66-minute album. A truly unique release, it stands apart from his other works, offering a distinct sonic experience. Intentionally simple – almost primitive – its rhythmic structures capture the musical atmosphere of the early '80s. Hypnotic, analog-driven, and now available for the first time on CD.
Ahmad Jamal is a jazz giant and The Awakening is his iconic masterpiece. The landmark deep trio session - recorded in NYC and released on Impulse! in 1970 - is an essential album and perennially sought-after on vinyl, so Be With Records are delighted to make it available again. As a “Zen master of jazz piano” and one of its greatest innovators, Jamal evolved his elegant sound with this adventurous record. The Awakening showcased his fast, richly melodic chops in remarkable variation. A consummat…

*100 copies limited edition* Kurt Liedwart unveils his new label, TON, with the release of “Volta”, the inaugural album in a planned series of five. After a decade immersed in experimental electronic and occasionally improvised music, Liedwart returns to his roots in techno and ambient—genres he has been passionate about since the early 1990s when he first began crafting music in these styles. For “Volta”, he revisits and reimagines sounds from his unreleased techno albums of the late 1990s, ble…
Emerging during the early stages of the recording industry in Japan, the ryūkōka style adopted western classical, blues & jazz elements into traditional and classical Japanese music.This collection of 1920s & 30s ryūkōka recordings follows on from the Kouta Katsutaro tape we put out a couple of years back, and further captures the hauntingly unique sound of a cultural merging that was starting to reflect itself via popular song, ahead of the widespread influence of western pop music during post-…
