Alpha Ray
Norio Maeda ignites this trio date with raw, thrilling momentum — one of his most electrifying records. Stripped-down and urgent, the music bursts with kinetic energy: tight, swinging interplay that sparks like vintage 60s bossa bands yet barrels in its own direction. Maeda’s piano cuts through with bold, adventurous lines; Tatsuro Takimoto’s bass is muscular and melodic; Takeshi Inomata’s drumming is sharp, driving, relentless. Standout tracks include "Alpha Ray," "Fifth Column," "Slobber," "St…
Our Time
Killer jazz-funk from Japan here! Since turning professional in 1960, guitarist Kiyoshi Sugimoto had been active in many sessions and recordings. From the latter half of the 1960s, he joined groups with Hideo Shiraki, Akira Ishikawa, and Terumasa Hino, gaining attention in the scene, and also solidifying his position with his albums as a leader, such as the magnificent “Country Dream” in 1970 and “Babylonia Wind” in 1972. “Our Time” was recorded with Akira Ishikawa on drums, Hiromasa Suzuki on e…
One More
Skilled guitar dances over the ultimate groove by Marcus Miller and Omar Hakim. This important Japanese fusion album was recorded by guitarist Kiyoshi Sugimoto, who was extremely busy at the time as a first-call musician, together with Marcus Miller, Omar Hakim, and Warren Bernhardt, who were in Japan for Kazumi Watanabe’s "To Chi Ka" tour. The lively playing of Marcus Miller, then 21 years old and just before being discovered by Miles Davis, is a must-hear.

In A Box
"When I recorded the first 2 Trickfinger records, I had recently discovered that you could make electronic music in a room with a bunch of synced machines going at the same time, record it on a CD burner and have a finished track. I've heard this process described as “overdubbing into the air”. It was as exciting to me as my first 4 track was when I was 14. I wasn't trying to be good, or original. I was just excited that music could be made that way; it felt like I was a whole group of musicians…

Music for Real Airports (Box set 2)
Music for Real Airports is a multimedia art project by musicians the Black Dog and interactive artists Human which is presented in art galleries. It is also a new CD of music by the Black Dog. It is a response to the reality of occupying the semi-public space of an airport, and a contemporary reply to Brian Eno’s work from the ‘70s. Airports are important and revealing. They are dystopian microcosms of a possible future society. The necessity of safety requires that they be systems of human cont…
Âmes Bleues
Without premeditation nor haste, Omertà re-emerges with its third album, Âmes Bleues (Blue Souls), gracefully deepening its own unique furrow, between lyrically rich songs and singular harmonic explorations. After ambling through the Corsican air currents and immersing itself in smoke, Omertà continues to unfold its geographical and sensory music, seemingly finding its reach in the suspension inherent in the subtle tension it produces.
The group expands its sonic palette with soothing and psyche…
Gravest Gravy
Recorded at Ardent Studios in October 1977 as part of the sessions that birthed Gravest Hits, the tracks on Gravest Gravy were contained on seven 1/4 inch reels. The tapes were transferred by Brian Kehew, the tracks were selected for inclusion by Henry Rollins, engineered by Ian MacKaye and Don Zientara at Inner Ear Studios and mastered by Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Sound.
Originators of a mutant and primal, stripped-down sound with its roots in the primordial soup of Rock 'n Roll - The Cramps cra…
From the Edge
From The Edge is a long-form musical work shaped by the acoustics, history, and atmosphere of Dover.
Mica
Of Paradise welcomes Seattle-based artist Hünter with his sophomore album, Mica, a sublime addition to the label’s ever-evolving musical catalogue and one that quickly acquires almost mythical status.
Focused on the relationship between the digital age and the environment, Mica explores the extraction of natural resources, identity, memory, and what remains. A fusion of ambient soundscapes and deconstructed club rhythms, Mica questions erosion as both a physical and cultural consequence of moder…
Io Pur Respiro
On Io Pur Respiro, pianist Elias Stemeseder and bassist Thomas Morgan sculpt a live duo language where Gesualdo, 1930s standards and original pieces blur into a quietly radiant continuum, guided by an unerring sense of melody, space and equilibrium.
Mana
The treasure of Japan’s jazz scene and its most formidable drummer, Takeo Moriyama, drives out a powerful, intense beat. This important work — recorded in April 1994 and the catalyst for Moriyama’s comeback — is being released on vinyl for the first time. Backed by a rock-solid lineup of players — Fumio Itabashi (piano), Toshihiko Inoue (S. Sax & T. Sax), Eiichi Hayashi (A. Sax), and Hiroshi Yoshino (bass) — the recording delivers a ferocious performance that condenses the universe of Moriyama’s…
Yamame
Jazz saxophonist Akira Miyazawa was known for his unparalleled love of fishing, and here he gives a masterful performance that conjures the image of silvery fish scales reflecting light through the cold and clear water of a small mountain stream. “Yamame” (the Japanese name for a kind of freshwater salmon) was recorded in 1962 and was Miyazawa’s first album, but the sharpness and avant-garde modernity of the music creates a completely timeless quality. Miyazawa is one of a group of musicians who…
Dans-sons as we are
With Dans-sons as we are, Audrey Lauro, Christian Pruvost and Peter Orins deliver an album shaped by subtle shifts, restrained tensions and slow transformations of sound matter. A music of listening as much as gesture, where each intervention seems to open a new space rather than occupy the previous one. Brought together through a shared practice of free improvisation, the three musicians develop a collective language that is both dense and constantly in motion. The trio never seeks spectacular …
