Now Jazz Now 100 Essential Free Jazz & Improvisation Recordings 1960-80 (Book)
277 pages. 196 x 268 mm. Open NOW JAZZ NOW and you're not just looking at a book - you're entering the minds of three lifelong obsessives. Byron Coley (music writer and critic), Mats Gustafsson (saxophonist, The Thing, Fire!), and Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth founder, solo artist) have spent decades accumulating, discussing, debating, and above all listening to free jazz and free improvisation. This book is the result of that shared mania. What they've created isn't a conventional history or a ra…
Issue 134 (Magazine + 7")
The latest issue of Electronic Sound plunges deep into the dark, uncompromising world of Clock DVA, Sheffield's electro-industrial provocateurs, with an extensive cover feature retracing the group's explosive formative years. What begins with main man Adi Newton rubbing shoulders with future members of The Human League in The Future quickly escalates into a tale of banned venues, constructivist aesthetics, and fearsome live performances that rivalled those of Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltai…

Light
On Light, Palle Mikkelborg condenses a lifetime of orchestral colour into a quietly radiant final opus: solo trumpet, flugelhorn and piano drift through self‑designed soundscapes, joined sparingly by harp and guitar, like hymns remembered in slow motion.

Kind of Blue
*Listed as one of the four most influential Jazz albums that happened to be released in 1959 (Dave Brubeck -Time Out & Charles Mingus -Ah Um among them), so much has been said and written about Miles Davis'Kind Of Blue, it's virtually impossible to summarize all the necessary info to the length of this page. We could simply list some facts (best sold Jazz album ever worldwide). We could try to explain why it's the best Jazz album ever made, but the music itself will do that to you.

The Pink Violin (Book)
The Pink Violin by Jon Rose and Rainer Linz is a gloriously over‑the‑top fake biography of non‑existent violinist–composer Dr. Johannes Rosenberg, a “reformist parody” that lampoons art‑school scholarship, new‑music mythologies and violin culture with such detail and deadpan rigor it almost passes for the real thing.
Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat
On Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat, Charanjit Singh folds centuries of Hindustani tradition into a three‑box Roland future, crafting a 1982 raga‑disco séance that would lie dormant for decades before being hailed as proto–acid house and a cornerstone of South Asian electronic modernity.

Celestial Suite
On Celestial Suite, Atlantis Jazz Ensemble stretch their spiritual soul-jazz into a full skyward arc, an unbroken studio suite where modal grooves, Afro-Latin currents and meditative codas move like one long, rising breath.
Oceanic Suite
On Oceanic Suite, Atlantis Jazz Ensemble ride a warm, late‑night current of modal grooves and spiritual inflections, with trumpet, alto, Rhodes, bass and drums flowing together in live‑off‑the‑floor conversations that feel both loose and meticulously steered.
Call to a Crow - Appelle un Corbeau, 2024 (Leporello Book)
** 2026 Stock. Leporello French/English ** Call to a Crow – Appelle un corbeau gathers a series of short poems by David Horvitz, originally conceived for the first Son Biennale in 2023, into a leporello that reads like a pocket field guide to listening and imagining in the Alps. Each phrase is both poem and instruction, a small performative score that invites the reader to tune themselves to the landscape and its absences. “Imagine the sound of the footsteps of someone who is no more,” “Imagine …
1998 (Book)
** 2026 Stock. Edition of 500 ** 1998 brings back into circulation one of Ugo Rondinone’s most intimate and unsettling projects: a diary from his five-part cycle of the 1990s, written and drawn between 1992 and 1998 as the AIDS crisis pushed a newly fearful, homophobic Western society to shove queer lives back into the shadows. Rather than responding with slogans or safe symbolism, Rondinone invented “Ugo,” an artist and drug addict living in Zurich, and followed him across hundreds of pages of …
Postcards from Arrakis
On Postcards from Arrakis, BeNe GeSSeRiT turn early‑’80s bedroom electronics into a fractured sci‑fi cabaret, where Alain Neffe’s minimal, skewed backdrops and Nadine Bal’s bilingual/imaginary vocal spills collide in short, surreal missives from a parallel cheap‑cosmic Belgium.

Through electro-acoustic instrumentation, voice, and environmental sound, Water Poems invites listeners into a subconscio…
Ensamseglaren
Huge Tip! Small repress. "I stood on top of the mountain and looked out over the landscape. It was so beautiful that my chest hurt. The light vibrated, time stood still, and the contours dissolved for a moment. Everything had changed; I felt it then. I took their little hands so as not to lose contact with the ground. Then we ran down the mountain, scraping our knees. Still, we didn't make it. You had already put away all the nautical charts, loosened the moorings and steered out among the skerr…
The Performative Word (Book)
The first monograph on John Giorno (1936-2019), poet, performer and activist who brought the written word off the page and into life. Accompanying the MAMbo Bologna retrospective, it maps six decades of radical practice at the crossroads of poetry, art and political action.
