Katcharpari
** Audiophile reissue from the original masters, 180gm vinyl pressed by Pallas, laminated hand-glued gatefold cover. Limited Edition. ** Katcharpari is the second solo album by Italian jazz trumpeter Enrico Rava, recorded and released in January 1973 and considered a cornerstone of the jazz-rock/fusion genre. Recorded in Milan and released on the German label BASF, Rava himself described it as his "breakthrough album." Thanks to the critical acclaim this work received, Rava caught the attention …
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.
Mystic Suite
On Mystic Suite, Atlantis Jazz Ensemble descend into the underworld of spiritual jazz, weaving Hadean myth, modal fire and Afro-inflected grooves into the darkest, most searching chapter of their cosmic trilogy.
Reflections Vol. 3: Water Poems
** Edition of 300. Glacial Blue Vinyl ** On Reflections Vol. 3: Water Poems, Félicia Atkinson and Christina Vantzou channel their friendship and atmospheric artistry into ceremonial focus. Spoken-word environments and orchestral imagination flow like tributaries into a unified stream, resulting in a collection of dreamlike songs and soundscapes anchored in sea, sky and stone. 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…
Music in Continuous Motion
Bill Orcutt is back with what might be the most beautiful record in his 21st-century guitar quartet series. Music in Continuous Motion (Palilalia, LP/CD) pointedly steps away from the cut-and-paste constructivism of Music for Four Guitars into a sonic stratum that's - as Tom Carter writes - "yearningly melodic, resolutely human, and built for performance." Four guitars, twelve tracks, most hovering around two-and-a-half minutes each. No waste. No fat. Pure music.
Where Music for Four Guitars ope…
The Black Ark
Huuuge Tip! In the pantheon of classic free jazz, Noah Howard's The Black Ark looms large. Recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City in 1969 - just prior to the alto saxophonist's relocation to Europe - the album was eventually released in 1972 on Alan Bates's Freedom label, and has since acquired near-mythical status among collectors and devotees of the music. Now, Superior Viaduct presents the definitive remastered edition on vinyl, restoring this landmark to the visibility it has always…
Mount Analogue
On Mount Analogue, Bill Laswell and P.ST assemble an international cast to translate René Daumal’s unfinished mountain allegory into a two‑disc sonic ascent: a six‑part electro‑acoustic “novel” and a mirrored peak of solo guitar visions from Henry Kaiser, refracted through Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain.
Buenos Antwerp
On Buenos Antwerp, Elko Blijweert and Anla Courtis turn a chance Borgerhout encounter into a two‑part psychedelic correspondence, one acoustic, one electric, a cross‑Atlantic guitar séance wrapped in Dennis Tyfus’ cut‑and‑paste visual delirium.
Dogon A.D.
One of the most important jazz albums of the 1970s - finally on vinyl in its definitive edition. Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. is the missing link between the avant-garde and the blues, between the cotton fields and outer space. Recorded on a freezing February day in 1972 at Oliver Sain's Archway Studios in St. Louis - no heat, malfunctioning equipment, some musicians didn't even show up - and yet what emerged was nothing short of a masterpiece. An "almost accidental classic" that has haunted col…
Drawings, Collages, Paintings (Book, Softcover)
Drawings, Collages, Paintings reveals Adam Bohman as a visual artist every bit as singular as his music, collecting five decades of creatures, cowboys, food‑packet detritus and biro‑scrawled ephemera into a thick, disarming portrait of an English visionary working at the kitchen‑table edge of art history.
Or Gare: funeral procession music from Ryfylke, Norway
On Or Gare, Stine Janvin and Morten Joh slow time to a funereal crawl, reanimating Ryfylke’s “liksong” tradition as a ghost‑lit microtonal ritual where voices, synths and creaking percussion hover between lament, liturgy and quietly glowing electronics.
Music For Pulse Meridian Foliation
On Music for Pulse Meridian Foliation, Joshua Abrams translates Lisa Alvarado’s immersive installation into gently spiralling sound: two violas, harmonium and electronics tracing slow, minimal arcs that feel like geology moving through the body, memory folding and unfolding in real time.
Music for Intersecting Planes
On Music for Intersecting Planes, Kali Malone and Leila Bordreuil braid organ, cello, sine waves and feedback into a candlelit nocturne of air and overtones, an austere yet tender ritual where space itself becomes a third instrument.
Tepepa
On Tepepa, Ennio Morricone turns the Mexican Revolution into an operatic fever dream, braiding solemn mariachi‑tinted themes, mystical guitar‑and‑orchestra adagios and defiant song into a score where personal vengeance and collective uprising share the same melodic bloodline.
Lo Squartatore di New York
On Lo squartatore di New York, Francesco De Masi fuses rock‑charged aggression with aching lyricism, setting Lucio Fulci’s urban nightmare to a score where feral action cues collide with the unforgettable tenderness of “New York One More Day” and the bittersweet elegy “Fay.”
L'ineluctable pulsation du temps
Building upon a prolific period that has witnessed the French composer, vocalist, and multi instrumentalist deliver roughly a dozen remarkable releases overthe last five years, Delphine Dora joins Marionette with ‘L’ineluctable pulsation du temps’, what might just be her most astounding release to date. Comprising ten keyboard driven compositions across its two sides, in unfurling sheets of texture, timbre, and tone, Dora draws a constellation of touchstones into her fold — Impressionism, Minim…
Dialoghi del Presente
Naples, 1977. Luciano Cilio's sole recorded work is pure magic - four "quadri" where strings, woodwinds, wordless voices and solitary guitar trace the edges of silence. Closer to Arvo Pärt and Morton Feldman than to any Italian prog, yet entirely its own universe. Music that breathes, suspends time, breaks your heart without raising its voice. Decades ahead of its time. First ever remaster from the original tapes.
Live - Hhaï
Remastered and pressed on translucent blue vinyl. 2LP deluxe edition. One of the greatest live albums ever recorded is back on vinyl in deluxe form. Christian Vander and his cosmic warriors captured at the absolute peak of their powers - Taverne de l'Olympia, Paris, June 1-5, 1975. The Island Mobile studio rolling tape. Five nights of pure Zeuhl fury. This is the lineup. After the departure of Jannick Top and most of the original formation in late '74, Magma rose from the ashes with a rejuvenate…
People In Sorrow
** Grey-area reissue on colored vinyl ** Recorded in Boulogne-Billancourt, France on July 7th, 1969 - one of the most fruitful periods for the group. Originally released on Pathé, later reissued by Chuck Nessa on his legendary Nessa Records. Now back on vinyl, on blood-red transparent wax! 40 minutes of PURE free improvisation. One extended piece, split across two sides. Lester Bowie on trumpet and flugelhorn, Joseph Jarman on alto sax, bassoon, oboe and flute, Roscoe Mitchell on soprano, alto a…
