Ostranenie is a collection of digitally manipulated, impressionistic piano miniatures — each named after blockbuster films and TV series. Improvised late at night as a reaction against passive media consumption, these pieces function as both homage and critique, navigating the space between classical impressionism and contemporary digital manipulation. They don’t just deconstruct traditional piano expression; they interrogate the emotional stakes of sound in an era where immersion culture flatte…

A long-lost masterpiece of Yugoslavian jazz-funk and disco finally returns! Originally released in 1979 on the iconic Jugoton label, YU Disko Expres by Igor Savin and Orkestar Stanka Selaka is a rare gem—an electrifying fusion of jazz, funk, electronic music, and traditional folk elements. Decades ahead of its time, this album remains a strikingly modern and danceable exploration of sound, seamlessly blending synthesizers with tight horn arrangements and deep, infectious grooves. Igor Savin, one…

A revolutionary anthology of visual poetry contextualizing works within their original small-press publications, from authors such as Wallace Berman and Marian Zazeela to titles such as Ginger Snaps and Futura. By the 1960s, visual and experimental poetry was widely acknowledged as the first truly international poetry movement, occurring on several continents. The simultaneous “mimeograph revolution”—an emerging name for the proliferation of small, poet- and artist-operated presses and little ma…

"Indépendance Cha Cha” was an historic song, not only because it immortalized Congo’s independence in its lyrics, but also because it was the first single published by a Congolese-owned record label. Joseph Kabasele’s label Surboum African Jazz indeed paved the way for several Congolese musicians to become record publishers. It resulted in the 1960s in a plethora of newly found Kinshasa-based record labels, run by the biggest musicians of the time. With this new series “Les éditeurs congolais”, …

*200 copies limited edition* After Mirthrandir, Lift and Easter Island, we continue bringing you the cream of the crop from U.S. Prog Classics, with the reissue of ID’s 1977 album Where Are We Going. In this case, you can guess the music from the band’s name, a regression into the depths of the unconscious (Freud’s antecedent term for ID in the structure of the cunning invention called ‘psyche’) via an interminable sonic evocation. The highlights of the album are the 2 long parts of the homonymo…

"The Crippled Flower was a post-punk band from Düsseldorf - and they arrived late. However, unlike many young, unsuspecting, hairsprayed hopefuls from that time, in 1985 they could sense that the end of their era was approaching. They knew too much to want to take the world by storm. They were four individualists searching their own way. Each of the band members only found their calling after the time that they had spent together – but that's exactly what makes The Crippled Flower still seem rea…

"On the cover: Devo -- a comprehensive feature by Autin, TX-based music writer Joe Gross on why DEVO matters -- today more than ever, as cultural, political, and spiritual devolution seems to be the way of the world. The piece is perfectly illustrated with ephemera, buttons, t-shirts, and more. A conversation with Irvin Weathersby, Jr. by Sonya Lea on the occasion of the publication of his book In Open Contempt: Confronting White Supremacy in Art & Public Space. Sydney Salk talks to Horsegirl ab…

Steve Beresford, a central figure on the British and international music scene for over forty years, meets the Tilli/Tramontana duo. The friction between the British aplomb with the multifaceted Italic personality and the underlying love and seriousness towards music give us a trio full of verve, gimmicks, and profound lightness.

EXTNDDNTWRK is the enduring solo project of Andrew Fearn, who is more commonly recognised as one half of Sleaford Mods. While akin to his role in his main group with respect to primarily working with electronic sounds, samples and rhythms, EXTNDDNTWRK is a far more mannered affair whose approach is concerned with atmospherics, occasional tempered beats perfect for a late night drive along a deserted motorway, near-ambient swerves into neo-minimalism, crisp melodies and big grooves swollen with t…

2025 stock Moonmadness was originally released in March 1976. It was their fourth album and the last to feature the band's original line-up (Latimer, Bardens, Ferguson, Ward). After the success of the tightly structured, instrumental The Snow Goose in 1975, the band added vocals to their music again. The tracks that comprised the album were conceived as a loose concept based on the individual personalities that made up Camel; Air Born about Andrew Latimer, Lunar Sea about Andy Ward, Chord Change…

*100 copies limited edition* "When Kabas first left its mark on the Belgian music scene with Abel (2016), nothing could have prepared you for where they would find themselves nearly one decade later. Not that the quartet needed extreme makeovers or abrupt stylistic switches. On the contrary, every step Thijs Troch, Jan Daelman, Nils Vermeulen and Elias Devoldere have taken since their first debut feels like a logical next one. This is not the sound of calculation or imposed transformation, but o…

Death Is Not The End release a second part collecting pre-partition film music, compiled by Gary Sullivan of Bodega Pop.

"This album has been a long time coming. We were lucky enough to do a tape in 2022 with Jeremy Hurewitz (aka Rootless) called what the truth leaves out. But this is the first time we’ve been able to work with long-time fave, Matt Lajoie, who appears with Ash Brooks as half of the no-longer-active duo, Starbirthed. The idea for this pairing was presented to us by Jeremy, who recorded the album at his cabin in southern Vermont in 2019. Jeremy’s Rootless project generally features at least a soupço…

*300 copies limited edition* "What a pleasure it is to hear this new album from France’s Jean-Baptiste Favory, long-distance associate of Los Lichis, presenter of France’s longest running avant garde radio show (Epsilonia), and a goddamn great musician. I Was Thinking is the solo third album we’ve done with J-B (preceded by Things Under and Ciels), and we think it’s the most varied and fascinating one yet. Using guitars, keyboards and electronics, Favory explores the edges between avant-rock, ex…

Over the decades, the image of Kompakt as a pirate ship has taken root in our minds, braving the dangers of the seven seas of the music market. Sometimes it glides with a tailwind through calm waters, sometimes it has to survive violent storms. When we set sail in 1993, we never would have dreamt that our journey would still be going on after more than three decades and with 500 releases to date. In our fast-paced business, the 500 mark is rarely reached, so we want to celebrate it with a lavish…

For the first time on CD and vinyl, the soundtrack of the cult Italian Giallo film Nothing Underneath composed by Pino Donaggio. This soundtrack perfectly represents Pino Donaggio's style, capable of transitioning from terrifying and sharp symphonies to sweet and sensual electronic pieces. The atmospheres are reminiscent of films such as 'Body Double' and 'Dressed to Kill.' A limited edition not to be missed, for all lovers of Italian thrilling giallo and for all fans of Brian De Palma's films.

*2025 stock* "Music and musical releases can be controversial for many reasons. Lyrical content, shocking covers, too loud, too quiet: David Jackman’s music is controversial for none of these reasons. His music isn’t noisy or silent, with no lyrical content or a shocking cover. I am not on any discussion group online and never was, but I can imagine a discussion with the topic: “Is David Jackman doing the same thing over and over again?”. I don’t know the answer, but I can guess. We can say the …

Tip! *100 copies limited edition* Eternities is an intuitive collaboration between bass clarinetist Katie Porter and sound artist Bob Bellerue. Their work is inspired by deep presence, resonant feedback, melodic drone, and overtone magic, in the fluid realm between intention and indeterminacy. They use harmonic tones from wind instruments played within feedback systems to create multidimensional spectral drones. This release is live recordings from 2023 and 2024 full of lush clarinet timbre and …

A 50 minute solo for viola d'amore played by Marco Fusi. The piece was composed in 2022-2023, and has six movements.

Cryo is the first album by the duo of cellist Nikos Veliotis (GR) and pianist Alex Zethson (SE). Veliotis is best known for the pioneering electronic group In Trance 95, MMMD and his collaboration with Giannis Aggelakas of the rock group Tripes. Zethson is a member of groups such as Goran Kajfes’ Tropiques, Martin Küchen's Angles, Fire! Orchestra, Vathres, and more. The duo met in Athens when Tropiques played at the legendary record store, gallery and concert venue Underflow, where Veliotis was …

Herzog | Muche | Nillesen is a trio featuring Matthias Muche (trombone), Etienne Nillesen (extended snare drum), and Constantin Herzog (double bass). Their music operates in the liminal space between improvisation and composition, where shifting textures and microtonal structures unfold in slow- motion transformations. Drawing on minimalist, spectral, and extended instrumental techniques, their sound is less about individual gestures and more about emergent sonic phenomena— where the interplay o…

*200 copies limited edition* Blickwinkel presents ‘On a Tuesday and a Wednesday’, the first collaboration between Pierre Bastien and Casper Van De Velde. The album captures what the duo has been working on during a 2-day residency at Werkplaats Walter (Brussels), invited by the label. In their improvised sessions, they quickly found a way to merge Bastien's renowned mechanical sound sculptures with the playful and detailed style of percussionist Casper Van De Velde. The result is a blend of intr…

From Tsugaru, the birthplace of Kazuki Tomokawa and Kan Mikami, to Osorezan, Itako, Nebuta, Kesho Jizo... Mutsu's Orpheus (minstrel) Furukawa Mibu, who sings about a magical institution to connect this world to the next, left this superb work in 1978!　Shocking analogue LP reissue! Mibu, who is also a poet, deceives the dead in order to live the memory of his younger brother (Mibu), who died at the age of three. The song becomes a prayer and a cry, dancing wildly in this world and being sucked in…

Synod was a band that performed at concerts and dances, festivals, colleges, private parties, conferences and other venues from 1971 through 2013. They toured incessantly in the early years, traveling from Chicago in Illinois to New York, South Carolina, Georgia, Nebraska and seven other states. They performed at Chicagofest, Summerfest and everywhere they could find a stage. The recordings in this collection represent some of the 12 recording projects they did, primarily between 1972 and 1984.

For years people were convinced that Shinichi Atobe was a well known artist (probably German) working incognito. Thanks to a flowery twitter feed, plus some interviews, all that distraction has been finally laid to rest. Still offering little in the way of biographical factoids, though, Atobe lets the music do the talking in typically emotively nuanced and special style on his 7th album ‘Discipline’, offering further refinements of prevailing, salient ‘90s deep house, dub techno and ambient scen…

On their most explicit venture into music for moving image, Miles Whittaker & Sean Canty rudely fracture piano and vocal recordings by US filmmaker-musician Kristen Pilon in a short-circuiting of style and pattern that arguably amounts to some of their best yet on DDS. Yup it’s uncanny dream-within-a-dream type gear, landing somewhere between their commissions for Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza and creeping classics by The Caretaker.

*100 copies limited edition* "Fathm isn’t so much an album as it is a question—a pause in the middle of a conversation no one’s having, but everyone’s pretending to understand. It asks nothing of you, but demands your presence, your ear, your breath. The flute, a tender and fragile instrument, becomes almost otherworldly—like a butterfly in another dimension with teeth, or a marsh wren that screams only in windings. It speaks in fragmented thoughts, tracing edges of longing, absence, and memory.…

Heavenly new age ambient synthesis and 4th world navigations by two leading lights of their field, flocking to a mutual spirit at the behest of Australia’s eternally reliable Good Morning Tapes. Riyl Asa-Chang & Junray, Jon Hassell, Nueen, Enya, David Toop. Meeting for the first time on record - although it sounds like they’ve been making music together forever - GRM alum Ariel Kalma brings some half a century of experience accrued deep in synth music’s most esoteric realms, to Leaving Records’ …
