Free Jazz to Ornette „Revisited“
Free Jazz: A Collective Improvisation is an album by the jazz saxophonist and composer Ornette Coleman. It was released through Atlantic Records in September 1961: the fourth of Coleman's six albums for the label. Its title named the then-nascent free jazz movement.

Symphonie “Monoton-Silence”
Building on some incredible work over the years, plumbing historical depths of fine artists’ use of sound, Edition Bierammer returns with the first ever release of the artist Yves Klein’s groundbreaking conceptual symphony “Symphonie Monoton-Silence” (Monotone Silence Symphony), conceived during the late 1940s, and heralded for its use of silence and sustained tone in ways that foreshadowed both Minimalism and John Cage. Astoundingly seductive sonically, and creatively engrossing three quarters …
Landmarks
Following its release in the winter of 2018, "Landmarks", a collaboration between veteran ambient artists Celer and Forest Management, initially drew quiet accolades and a steadfast listenership that has since swelled to unimagined proportions (~20 Mil. streams), resonating with listeners perhaps now more than ever and cementing its status as an experimental classic.
Inspired by Paul Theroux's novel "The Mosquito Coast" and Peter Weir's 1986 film adaptation of that book, "Landmarks" sets out 14…
Sacred Heart of Reinvention
Wow, this is unreal -- the first full length album by Slacking on AAD? What a privilege to do this landmark release, which will surely be looked back on years from now as a crowning achievement for the label, in the same way that Creation Records must feel about being the one to have put out "Loveless". From the first time i heard this project i was stoked in a way i hadn't been since first discovering Harsh Noise. It was immediately apparent that i was to be in total support of this project as …
The Avant-garde
**Yellow vinyl** Though Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane were two of the prime forces in what came to be known as free jazz, their approaches couldn't have been more different. While Coleman's music dispensed with chords and rejected instrumental virtuosity in favour of unbroken horizontal development of melodic line, Coltrane's music for the most part relied on stacking up chords in blocks and exploring the results with fearsomely complex, passionate harmonic interrogations.
However Coltrane w…
Journey In Satchidananda
*180 Gram/ gatefold/ audiophile* Originally issued by Impulse in 1971, this masterpiece Alice's album is on of the most exciting record she have ever did! And, what's more, it's absolutely live!

Mother-Of-Pearl Box

Swing Ensemble
Did someone say Summer? Sicily is what Cuba is to the Caribbean, sun, sea, easy and friendly people with lots of troubles! You won't find anything better around that identifies the summer more than this album by Enzo Randisi who at the beginning of the 80s put together a Swing Ensemble as a tribute to that "cheerful" movement of Jazz music.
But Enzo and his fellas just couldn't stay on track and put in the best that the alternative Palermo area could offer in that historical period, like the sis…

The Amygdala Expedition
A truly stunning masterstroke with almost no equivalent, "The Amygdala Expedition", by the Hungarian musician and musicologist, László Hortobágyi, weaves a singular world of myth and imagination at the boundaries of New Age, Ambient, experimental, and ethnographic music. Drawn from a body of work that first began to emerge during the late '80s and early '90s
Harsh 70's Reality
Originally seeing the light of day in April of 1992, "Harsh '70s Reality" was not just a high water mark for that year, but for the ages. Technically this was the band’s fourth long-play outing, and as a double-album, it followed two formidable dual juggernauts of the early 90's: "Twin Infinitives" and "Lake". But it was "Harsh '70s Reality" that left the decade stronger and more resonant than it came in. A 2012 anniversary edition-replete w/gatefold jacket-came & went fairly quickly, so in 2023…
