Unripened (demos And Rare Tracks)
One of the most important 'lost' music recordings out there, this is the original version of the classicl album - recorded in April 1966 - that Andy Warhol eventually presented to Columbia Records, who chose to reject the demos. The track order is different from the release, and the band didn't record "Sunday Morning" and "There She Goes" until later, so those songs aren't included here. Some tracks sound the same as the released tracks, and others are markedly different, and even a little rawer…
Wave
*Back in print!* By the time this album was released, Antonio Carlos Jobim was already an international superstar. Having recently won a Grammy (1965) for "The Girl From Ipanema", by 1967 all the big name stars from up north were breaking down his door to work with the new "Gershwin of Brazil." In fact, Jobim had just finished working on an album with Frank Sinatra when he went into the studio to record this album. Recorded in 1967, Wave is actually one of the lesser known masterpieces of Brazil…
Watusa
When a limited edition 45 single landed on the desk of Jazz Room Head Honcho Paul Murphy he contacted the guys straight away. "Do you want a 45 piece of wax released on Jazz Room Records?" Bells were ringing! The A Side is a Latin Afrosound version of the Sun Ra Classic "Watusa". Featuring members of the Los Angleles based Afro Latin Beat Collective "Jungle Fire". You might have noticed this getting quite a few spins on the Gilles Peterson show on BBC 6 Music. The B Side is a funky version of th…
Réminiscences
With Réminiscences (2017–2019), Jean-Claude Éloy embarks on an ambitious journey through memory, transformation, and pure listening. This vast electroacoustic cycle—comprising Incantation, Confrontation, Contemplation, and Oppression-Libération—draws deeply from the sound world of his seminal work Yo-In. Éloy recycles and reworks electroacoustic materials originally created at the Institute of Sonology (Utrecht, 1979/1980) and incorporates an extraordinary archive of percussion samples recorded …

A landmark archival release documenting Jean-Claude Éloy’s radical 20th-century innovations. This collection brings together three seminal works showcasing the French composer’s dual mastery of concert hall abstraction, cinematic narrative and GRM-era experimentation.
Passages... À Travers Le Temps
Octavian Nemescu's music doesn't perform - it initiates. This Metaphon collection reveals Romania's spectral mystic at his most profoundly timeless, where bees' wings and synthesizer drones become pathways to the inaudible."
L'Héritier
A long-awaited reissue of one of the most compelling scores in 1970s French cinema. Originally released in 1973, L'héritier reveals Michel Colombier at his most cinematic and experimental—blending downtempo funk, psych-prog atmospheres, and early electronic abstraction into a rich, dramatic soundworld. Now officially reissued for the first time by Transversales Disques, this deluxe 2025 edition restores the original recordings and expands the experience with five previously unreleased tracks fro…

Insolence
Two masters of free improvisation—Evan Parker and Jean-Marc Foussat—meet live in Insolence. Soprano sax and electronics intertwine in deep, lyrical tension. A vital transgenerational document.
Rammed Earth
A delirious plunge into absurdist tape collages and haunted electronics, this long-buried artifact resurfaces with eerie timeliness—a disorienting mix of degraded loops, dark humor, and fractured noise. A grotesque masterpiece of West Coast sonic dadaism.
Autonomous Rex
Unearthed mid-’90s tape/noise experimentations by Stuart Dennison (Ramleh, Skullflower). Recorded in solitude with loops, delay, and whispers, Autonomous Rex is a raw dispatch from the uncompromising fringes of UK underground sound.
Rules For Living
CD3 transform familiar sounds into primordial folk art with Rules For Living. The duo's melted reconfiguration of popular styles creates mysteriously ahistorical music - ancient yet pertinent, stripped to skeletal essence.
Zulu Guitar Blues - Cowboys, Troubadours and Jilted Lovers 1950-1965
Zulu Guitar's Pioneering Tricksters, but for this compilation of rescued songs masterfully restored from rare 78 rpm shellacs, few could imagine the diversely beautiful roots of Zulu Guitar Music emerging during the period 1950 – 1965. Story-tellers and master musicians appropriate outlaw personae, re-purpose country and western, Hawaiian and other styles, to stretch and challenge our notion of “the Zulu guitar”. Twenty-five songs (18 on vinyl) plunge us into the depths of the migrant experience…
Black Soul
Ground-breaking afro-rock and jazz with Memphis soul roots on this lost 1972 gem.
Music For a Revolution Vol 1
On October 2 1958, after over 60 years of colonial rule, Guineans voted overwhelmingly for their independence, and Guinea was declared a Republic with Sékou Touré as President. Guinea was the first of West Africa’s Francophone colonies to gain independence. To free Guinea from its colonial legacy, president Touré sought to restore dignity to his nation and give cause for Guineans to take pride in their culture, history and newfound freedom. To achieve this, he instructed his government to implem…
Very Quiet Music To Be Played Very Loudly
To launch the new Lunar Module imprint from Castles In Space, Gordon Chapman-Fox presents us with an album of cinematic ambient music, stepping away from his usual analogue synthesizer tones. “I wanted to stretch my legs and create something more long form, organic and immersive than my Warrington-Runcorn persona” says Gordon. “I hope the title speaks for itself. This is ambient music, but its not background music. This is very much for the foreground. To be played loudly and to lose yourself in…
An Aesthetic - Experiments In Tape
Lunar Module are thrilled to announce the release of a new Hawksmoor album from Bristolian musician James McKeown, 'An Aesthetic' – Experiments In Tape. 'An Aesthetic' is a testament to McKeown's dedication to exploring the boundaries of sound. By layering the wow, flutter and warble of tape artifacts, he crafts a sonic landscape that echoes the ethereal hiss and mist drenched ‘rural psychedelia’ of Bristol's own Flying Saucer Attack, as well as the early hauntological, experimental landscapes o…
Pro Fake No Reject
An ace technician who studied at the New England Conservatory, Erez Dessel is in no way conservative. Indeed, his bracing approach to the keyboard and deeply intuitive sense of form can be explosive, uncorked energy summoning references to Cecil Taylor and the Don Pullen/Milford Graves duets, and an almost Russian Romantic darkness – imagine an improvised Mussorgsky – offset by keen emotional intelligence, with joyful melodicism and an airborne quality. And nestled within Dessel's playing there'…
Catalogue d’oiseaux & Petites esquisses d’oiseaux
Olivier Messiaen saw birds as his greatest teachers, capturing their songs with passion and precision. His piano works, especially Catalogue d’oiseaux and Petites esquisses d’oiseaux, translate birdsong into rich, colorful music. Messiaen’s fascination with rhythm, color, and nature shaped his compositions, blending ornithology with spirituality. Pianist Alfonso Gómez delivers an astonishing interpretation on this recording, adding to his acclaimed discography for this label. As Messiaen himself…
Atrapós
Evis Sammoutis’ music is a dynamic fusion of physicality, virtuosity, and cultural depth. Drawing on his Cypriot roots and diverse training, his compositions explore tactile soundscapes, poetic contrasts, and neurological aesthetics. Works like Echopraxia and In Darkness challenge conventions of imitation and vulnerability, while Rhymes and Engravings evoke intricate structures and materiality. Inspired by literature, visual art, and the expressive potential of sound, Sammoutis crafts music that…
