Bodytalking
Most intros to a Richard Ramirez album mention he's an artist that needs no introduction. Presenting a brand new album with five tracks of harsh noise, low end drone thrumming, crunchy textures and good old fashion sleaze. Further indication that Richard remains one of the most consistent and important artists in noise.
Beat
Temporary Offer. Recorded for Berry Gordy's short-lived Workshop Jazz imprint and recorded at the Hitsville USA studio, Roy Brooks (joined by fellow Detroit natives George Bohannaon and Hugh Lawson, along with Blue Mitchell, Junior Cook, and Eugene Taylor) injects a Motor City soul-jazz groove into the hard-bop root of this engaging 1964 album. Manufactured at Third Man Pressing in Detroit MI 180g audiophile quality vinyl
Kwanza
Temporary Offer. These 1969 recordings (released 5 years later) combine Archie Shepp’s free jazz bonafides and a blend of blues and funk through an African lens, all in a big band setting. The all-star brass section, featuring James Spaulding and Charles Davis on sax along with trombonist Graham Moncur III lead the way on stand outs including “New Africa” and “Spoo Pee Doo.” This Verve By Request LP features transfers from analog tapes and remastered on 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in De…
Please Come to Me
Masma Dream World, the experimental project of Devi Mambouka, returns with Please Come to Me, an album steeped in mysticism and raw emotion. Sounding by turns meditative, tortured, and exultant, it transmutes the abyssal language of devotion and the divine feminine through cavernous electronics, spine-chilling noise, and a powerful voice that succumbs to forces beyond her control. It makes the void sound like an embrace, and the embrace immortal.
Born in Gabon and shaped by a multicultural upbr…
Attikos
*2025 stock* "A “meeting of spirits” between Greek singer Savina Yannatou and legendary free jazz bassist Barry Guy recorded live in Amsterdam, May 2010, where they performed at the famous Bimhuis Club. The music consists of free improvisations and a composition by Barry Guy, alongside two traditional songs arranged by Savina Yannatou and Barry Guy.The architects Ilya and Emilia Kabakov imagined a vertical opera space of several floors to be built within a cooling tower at the Zollverein Collier…
Some Other Place
*2025 stock* "“We are the place in which we dwell.” In a universe such as improvised music where, particularly in an ensemble, chance plays some kind of role, Agustí Fernández and Barry Guy did not by chance name this opus Some Other Place, paradoxical as it may seem at first sight. Much rather, it is a deliberate plight to give to this composition a title that brings up the notion of otherness, which is markedly present in both their careers. Many areas were scoured, at times under the command …

Disc Rot
Long and intermittent running duo of Discrepant head honcho Gonçalo F Cardoso and Angela Valid's Alex Jones, with sometime collaborator Phil Laney aka Kenny Hosepipe joining in somewhere along the way, Hair & Treasure crossover from Sucata Tapes to Discrepant wax via 'Disc Rot'. Described by the duo, in their cryptic and scatological fashion, as "a fetid spread from the buttery catacombs of Hair & Treasure", one can only speculate on the mindset, if not for the scenario, for these file swap reco…

Jasnovidec & Tarnovski
During hot and mid pandemic August 2021, duo of Daniel Jakeš and Michael Nechvátal, know under their stage moniker of Jasnovidec, went to Pardubice for artist residency at notorious location of Divadlo 29 (Theater 29), key Czech location for worldwide avant garde experimental music and theater. During four long days and nights, the duo went onto several intense recording sessions, on which both Jakeš and Nechvátal played solely just their modular synths setups. On a few of the occasions they wer…
Elliptical Gloom
I have two stories behind this beast of a record. The first one is of course the oldest type of story around, the stranger comes to town. The stranger in this story is Zach Rowden. He shows up in Bucharest, once or twice, with his band (or duo if you want) Tongue Depressor. On one of the occasions he meets one of the locals involved in Bucharest avantgard circuits, Laurenţiu Coţac. And they decide to play together. They jam their double and electric basses. And it gets recorded. 23 minutes long …
Edaphon
In London I found a perfume that smelled like a brownie made entirely out of wet soil. It was inedible, but still very “cake”. “It’s our signature scent”, said the shopkeeper. But I used to make that cake as a child, with my child hands. I looked at the square bottle and it was me. Chocolate-like, but of the earth. Under our balcony I used to make garden stew in a clay pot with mud and pebbles. I stepped frantically on puffball mushrooms under a tree to make the steam. It didn't matter that the …
dustsceawung
"Pressure relief..... these are the sounds to listen with caution. dustsceawung is a well used pot on the stove with a locking lid. The broken gauge configured with a crack that looks suspiciously like a smile. A worn rubber gasket creating a seal far past it's expected life by the manufacturer. Still this is not enough. There is no measure to how much force lies within. A hiss escapes, a rattle or knocking comes and goes. The process continues with thoughts of the contents within. In this case …

Manchmal Vertrödelt Christa S. Den Tag
Rare original issue. Recorded by the husband and wife duo of Kurt Schwertsik and Christa Schrwertsik, “Manchmal Vertrödelt Christa S. Den Tag” is a dreamy gestalt, an album that borders Chanson, spoken-word, Ubu-esque passages, chanting and singing, against a variety of textures and jazz noir. Kurt Schwertsik (b. 1935) is an Austrian experimental/avant-garde composer. His music is mercurial and idiosyncratic with a refreshing lightness of touch. Though a pupil of Karlheinz Stockhausen, the compo…
A Come Andromeda
“A come Andromeda” is a TV sci-fi mini-series directed by Vittorio Cottafavi, based on the eponymous novel (A for Andromeda) written by Fred Hoyle and John Elliot, aired in Italy by RAI in 1972. Its soundtrack, composed and conducted by Mario Migliardi, is finally released on vinyl for the first time ever.
While listening to this album, one is plunged into a sci-fi dimension of experimental sounds that are sometimes hallucinatory, sometimes calm and tonal. Alessandro Alessandroni’s Cantori Moder…
Arcana
Red Vinyl. “Arcana” is a horror/dramatic movie directed by Giulio Questi and starring, among others, Lucia Bosé, Maurizio Degli Esposti e Tina Aumont. Its soundtrack, composed by Romolo Grano, is here reissued for the first time ever on vinyl. For “Arcana” Romolo Grano composed a soundtrack that develops in a truly original way, almost like in a lively ballet, characterized by classical flavoured strings with a pop music accompaniment, Edda Dell’Orso’s voice, and the Hammond organ in the title-t…
Kiss Kiss…Bang Bang
“Kiss Kiss... Bang Bang” is a 1966 spy movie directed by Duccio Tessari, starring Giuliano Gemma, Daniele Vargas and George Martin among others. That same year only a 45rpm was released, including the tracks “Love Love Bang Bang” sung by Nancy Cuomo, accompanied by Alessandro Alessandroni’s Cantori Moderni, and “Kiss-me-Warren-please”. Therefore, this is the first ever vinyl edition of this soundtrack, including sixteen tracks taken from the original session mono master, for a total length of ab…
...4..3..2..1... Morte
LP trifold w/insert. Velvet Vinyl. Unreleased Goblin soundtrack for a 80s cult horror b-movie
clear fuchsia coloured vinyl with insert and new liner notes! “The Other Hell” (L’Altro Inferno) is a 1981 horror movie directed by Bruno Mattei (as Stefan Oblowsky) that was explicitly filmed to exploit the success of Dario Argento’s “Inferno”, even if it has little to nothing in common with it. Set in a convent, the film unabashedly mixes demonic possessions, paranormal phenomena, black magic ritual…
The Flip Side
Sometimes records reflect life with an unsettling precision, your own breath sticking to a mirror, confounding or transforming reality. J.H. Guraj, real name Dominique Vaccaro, is back with ‘The Flip Side’, an accomplished work of grace and sprawling elegance documenting struggle and a near-death experience that summons ghosts of Western primitive masters, rollicking free folk, minimalist orchestrations, weeping guitars and smooth psychedelics.
Time stopped for J.H. Guraj in 2021 following a br…
