Upcoming releases
Web Of Midnight
*100 copies limited edition* Corum’s Web of Midnight traces an astral cartography and psychic linkage between the psychosexual laboratories of Wilhelm Reich’s Orgonon in Rangely, Maine all the way to the Mount Teide Volcano on the Canary Islands. Different facets of the album were recorded in these charged locations causing the music to erupt with an orgasmic and volcanic force, a subconscious blast and discharge of etheric earth energy channeled through shimmering electronica. Babbling voices t…
Wheel of life
*300 copies limited edition* Wheel of Life is the new LP by Japanese hurdy-gurdy artist Tomo, released via Knotwilg Records. Following Vieille-Electronica, the record dives further into a singular blend of drone, folk and minimal experimentation. Rooted in Breton tradition yet shaped by influences from Japan, India and medieval music, Wheel of Life unfolds as a timeless and hypnotic work. Tomo’s playing moves between fragile intimacy and raw, almost punk-like build-ups. Music that lingers and re…
Jugatsu no Ame
*300 copies limited edition* A lost jewel of 1970s Japanese psychedelia. Recorded by high school friends Minoru Sasaki and Masanori Nishigaito who spent their days rehearsing in a decrepit abandoned hospital, supported by their friends’ band Momonga. Self-released in 1974 in only 100 copies on the highly collectible Mountain Fuji Record imprint, most surviving copies have surfaced without jackets, further adding to the record’s mystique. For fans of private press psych and Japanese folk rock act…
Electronic Touches Belly Dance
Wewantsounds continues its Middle East reissue series with Assa'd Khoury's 1978 rarity, Electronic Touches Belly Dance.

This definitive edition includes original artwork, remastered audio, a new introduction by Ahmed Khalil (Dikraphone), and an exclusive interview with Chahine, the album's produ…
Lebur - Lebur Kaphungaan
The Swallows were one of Singapore's standout bands of the 1960s, rising from the explosive Pop Yeh-Yeh movement, the regional response to the global beat-band wave, with strong garage-rock roots. Fusing surf rock, early Beatles-inspired pop, and gritty, fuzz-laden guitars with a distinctly local sensibility, they became youth icons of the era. Defined by sharp suits, infectious melodies, and a rebellious spark, The Swallows captured the restless energy of post-independence Singapore, securing t…
The Heart Is a Lotus
On The Heart Is A Lotus, The Michael Garrick Sextet with Norma Winstone trace a quietly radical path through British jazz: modal, spiritual and poetically inclined, with Winstone’s voice drifting inside the ensemble like vapor rather than standing in front of it.
The Smoke
On The Smoke, The Smoke condense 1968’s lysergic optimism into a single, ornate LP, fusing sunshine pop hooks, baroque arrangements and studio playfulness into a seamless, dream‑like suite rather than a conventional rock album.
Jeita ou Murmure des Eaux
A cornerstone of the acousmatic tradition, finally on vinyl. François Bayle's Jeîta ou Murmure des Eaux arrives as a limited LP via Recollection GRM and Shelter Press - one of the composer's most singular and spatially ambitious works, composed in the wake of a concert given at the Jeita Grotto in Lebanon in 1969, where Bayle had traveled to mark the opening of the cave's newly discovered upper gallery. Bayle joined the Groupe de Recherches Musicales in 1960, studying under Pierre Schaeffer and …
Music With Changing Parts
Philip Glass, the great American composer, was already in his mid-30s before his first album appeared, and then only because he produced the double LP himself. Music With Changing Parts was the inaugural release on his own Chatham Square imprint in 1971. At this point, Einstein on the Beach, Glass' first opera, was still five years away. Yet in Changing Parts, one can already hear much of his vocabulary in full bloom: the buoyant arpeggios, the melding of electronic and acoustic instruments, the…
Ritual Riots
With Ritual Riots, Stéphane Hoareau delivers a deeply rooted work in créolité, conceived as a force of unity, resistance, and transmission. A guitarist from Réunion Island and a key figure in the emergence of contemporary global music scenes, Hoareau continues his commitment to revitalizing maloya - transforming it with boldness and creativity into a living, open, and contemporary heritage.
Through his collective projects and radical approach to musical ritual, he develops an aesthetic where tra…
Schwarzkopf
*100 copies limited edition* Bolka is known as the man with the cap. His cap has lived through a lot: his glitchy and microtonal experiments, studies at Institute of Sonology in The Hague or through countless performative works. A few years ago, Bolka’s cap fell apart. By that time he was already a fixture on the slovak experimental scene, but only releasing his debut album, “smutné stropy.” He started wearing new caps from then: somehow reminiscent of the old one, but much more varied — same as…
Idutydu
Frantx is a glit-noise band based in Paris that creates music in a dimension of hyper-speed where individualities get blurred, immersed in post-internet sonic drifts. The four members of Frantx explore the limits of their instruments and new modes of interaction through extended techniques, heterodox amplifications and electronic extensions. Frantx was born to question our roles as musicians and target the political dimension in which we are supposed to exist in this contemporary context. Music …
Trust The Guide And Glide
*100 copies limited edition* "It’s Now! Eternally! Easy, Tender, Loving Sound. The Guide is You. The Glide is Life. Be Yourself, Live Fully – That’s what the Vibrations are Encouraging, Echoing, Waving, Glowing, Singing, Rippling, Radiating.
Matthewdavid’s Mindflight is Heart Music. It’s a record of beauty that has evolved from explorations into his deepest emotions, visions and imagination. The Flights were most directly inspired by his profound connection with Michael Stearns’ Planetary Unfold…
Présence Humaine
On the occasion of famous French writer Michel Houellebecq's new album release, Tricatel reveals a special edition of his cult first album Présence Humaine, in a blue vinyl limited edition. The album has been arranged and produced by Bertrand Burgalat, who is also the music composer of the album.
World Rhythms
"In late 1975, Annea Lockwood realised her composition World Rhythms. It represents one of the first creative works exploring the potentials of field recordings in a multichannel setting. It is a landmark work and a composition that, on its 50th anniversary, has gently carried forward over the decades, but arguably now is only starting to come into true focus, and be understood for exactly how revolutionary it was. World Rhythms was a work concerned with a practice of sustained listening into th…
The Crack In The Cosmic Egg (Book)
30th anniversary edition. Revised and expanded printed book edition of The Crack In The Cosmic Egg. Thirty years after its original publication, Steve Freeman and Alan Freeman return to print with an anniversary edition of their encyclopaedic work on Krautrock - the most comprehensive and authoritative ever published on the subject. A long-awaited return: previous printed editions have been out of print for years and are now collector's items.
This new edition - A4, perfect-bound, 404 pages - is…
Every Color Moving (1988-2003)
On Every Color Moving (1988–2003), Steve Roden’s first 15 years unfold across six discs: from noisy, searching experiments to the hushed, “lowercase” worlds that would define his quietly radical, object‑based approach to sound and space.
A Thousand Breathing Forms
On A Thousand Breathing Forms, Steve Roden’s 2003–2008 archive blooms across six discs of loop‑based miniatures, conceptual structures and quietly lyrical instrumentals, charting a mid‑period where lowercase intimacy, rigor and melody fuse into one breathing organism.
Hubris
** 2026 Repress ** First released in 2016 and long out of print, Hubris has come to feel like a pivot in Oren Ambarchi’s catalogue - the moment when his fascination with groove, repetition and ensemble friction finally detonated into something both overwhelming and weirdly precise. This new edition gives that record the sonic treatment it always deserved. Working from the original mixes, mastering engineer Joe Talia revisits the album with what can only be called forensic care, teasing out layer…
1978
The first ever official release by this legendary Melbourne post-punk band who only ever existed for a number of months in 1978, but who cast an important and influential light in Australian (and global!) music, influencing the likes of the Boys Next Door/Birthday Party and The Models, the group's membership and its diaspora reading like a who's-who of crucial Australian music of the past 50 years.
In the band was a young Rowland S. Howard, who would soon go onto join the BND/Birthday Party; Oll…
