Reissues
Live at the Oakland Coliseum
Pink Floyd Live at the Oakland Coliseum, is a landmark triple-album release featuring a recording of Pink Floyd’s May 9, 1977 show at the Oakland Coliseum during their “In the Flesh” tour, staged to promote the album Animals. Delivering the full force of the band at their creative peak, the release captures a night of bold energy and unforgettable live atmosphere.
Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason are joined by Snowy White (electric guitar, 12-string guitar, bass, and b…
Black Tape II
The first full-length document of Rotting Telepathies, the group of the late post-punk figure Michio Kadotani and Asahito Nanjo. Recorded live in February 1982 and long buried on a tiny La Musica cassette, it captures the most band-like peak of Kadotani, the man Nanjo called the only real punk in Japan.
La Musica Bundle (6LP)
A door into the most private corner of the Japanese underground. With its La Musica series, Black Editions turns to the catalogue of La Musica, the tiny imprint run by Asahito Nanjo - the bassist and ringleader behind High Rise, Mainliner, Musica Transonic, Toho Sara and more - on which he issued a stream of hand-assembled cassettes and CD-Rs, sold in microscopic editions at a handful of live dates and all but impossible to find ever since. This first instalment, Flight 1, gathers six of those l…
Kill
Solmania's first album in 18 years: a single 64-minute slab of avant-garde guitar torture from Masahiko Ohno and Katsumi Sugahara, wrung from self-built multi-neck guitars bristling with extra pickups. Not a static wall but a continually evolving storm of feedback and tone. On Alchemy, 2016.
Hijokaidan featuring Nasca Car
A 2015 meeting between Hijokaidan and Nasca Car, the Osaka electronic project of Nakaya Koichi. Two studio tracks and two live sets across more than forty minutes, the King of Noise's wall of sound crossed with Nasca Car's pulsing acid-house and new-wave electronics. On Alchemy.
生きている価値なし～The Very Best Of Jojo Hiroshige
Jojo Hiroshige - known and feared throughout the world not only as a member of the legendary ‘‘Hijokaidan,’’ often referred as ‘‘King of Noise,’’ but also as the owner of the prestigious label “Alchemy Records,” which has released countless “Japanoise” masterpieces.
"Words are different to sounds in that the images they create are limited. They’re like a two-edged sword – sometimes they can be used effectively, but sometimes they restrict the range of the images employed. When I was young I read…
Abe Kaii
A 1982 cassette by Abe Kaii, the duo of Jojo Hiroshige and Toshiji Mikawa, named in sly homage to free jazz saxophonist Kaoru Abe. A monolith of free jazz and psychedelic space rock from two future architects of Japanese noise, near impossible to hear for decades, reissued on Alchemy in 2017.
Live! Destroy Noise Symphony
A 2018 live document from Hijokaidan in their definitive musical form: Jojo Hiroshige on guitar, Junko's voice, Toshiji Mikawa on electronics and Futoshi Okano on drums, fusing into a single dense wall of sound. The King of Noise captured live and unrepentant. On Alchemy.
She Came Through the Window to Stand By the Door
*2026 repress* Recorded at St Georges Church, Carrick On Shannon, Leitrim on a cold early January with a William Telford Organ. Built in 1846, it is reputed to be the second oldest organ in Ireland. Track 1/Side A: 'Pour Upon The Sky' is a story told by the two voices of cello and organ. Influenced by the rhetorical style of 18th century vocal music, the inspiration for this piece came naturally to Eimear who has a background in early music and has performed alongside the organ in a variety of s…
Chasing Light
Moses Yoofee Trio, the Berlin group of pianist Moses Yoofee, drummer Noah Fürbringer and bassist Roman Klobe, came up through clips of their jams posted online, which drew a following and led to the 2023 mini-album Ocean on LEITER and a German Jazz Prize for live act of the year. Their 2025 debut album proper, MYT, expanded the improvised concept with fuller arrangements, landed on year-end lists and a German Jazz Award nomination, and sent them touring through Asia, the US and Europe.

Just A Million Dreams
2026 Stock. Alan Vega, born Alan Bermowitz in Brooklyn, had spent the 1970s as one half of Suicide, the New York duo whose drum-machine menace unsettled audiences a decade before anyone thought to call it synth-punk. By the mid-1980s he had set out, against every expectation, to chase the mainstream: Saturn Strip (1983) took him to Elektra under the wing of Ric Ocasek of The Cars, a long-standing Suicide champion, and Just A Million Dreams followed in 1985, again produced by Ocasek with Chris Lo…
La Flute Des Mornes Volume 1
Bongo Joe and Sofa Records reissue the 1981 debut by Max Cilla, the Martinican flautist who spent his life restoring the bamboo flute of his island's hillsides to a music that had nearly forgotten it.
交響組曲 もののけ姫 = Princess Mononoke Symphonic Suite
Princess Mononoke (1997) is set in a mythic late-medieval Japan of iron foundries and forest gods. The young prince Ashitaka, cursed while killing a boar god maddened by hatred, travels west and finds himself caught between the people stripping the forest and the wolf-raised girl San who defends it, a story Hayao Miyazaki refuses to resolve into simple sides. Joe Hisaishi's music met that scale with his grandest and grimmest writing for Miyazaki to that point.
The film score, recorded with the T…
Kiki's Delivery Service
2026 Stock. Kiki's Delivery Service (1989), drawn from Eiko Kadono's children's novel, follows a thirteen-year-old witch who leaves home on the night of a full moon, settles in a European-looking seaside town with her cat Jiji, and turns the one thing she can do, fly, into a delivery business. It was the first Studio Ghibli film given an official release in the United States, carrying Hayao Miyazaki's unforced storytelling to an audience that had seen little like it.
The score is by Joe Hisaishi…
Kantamoinen
On Kantamoinen, Mika Vainio under his Ø alias tilts his brutal minimalism toward memory: sparse, physical electronics wrapped in a more romantic, concrete atmosphere haunted by childhood summers at his grandmother’s house in Artjärvi.
Kaiso Power - Sound Revolution In Trinidad 1970 - 1980
Soundway collects ten rare sides from Trinidad's revolutionary decade, when calypso, jazz and heavy percussion carried the charge of the Black Power years. Kaiso Power assembles music made for the dancehall and the steelband yard, its politics built into the rhythm rather than spelled out.
Ufo Robot Grendizer TV BGM Collection
*333 copies limited edition* BGM Music Collection from classic Japanese Super Robot TV series.
Green Tambourine
Trunk Records lifts a single from one of American private-press music's stranger corners: Gary Schneider's home-made version of Green Tambourine, a 7" that has drifted for years through the hands of collectors who prize the homemade and the unclassifiable.
Sex Clinic
First-ever release of Ted Dicks's jazz score for Clinic Exclusive, the 1971 British film later shown as Sex Clinic. The man who wrote Bernard Cribbins's Right Said Fred turns in a restrained after-hours set of piano, brushed drums and vibraphone.
An Afternoon With Victor Dimisich
Big Tip! This is one for the faithful. An Afternoon With Victor Dimisich gathers a set of recordings that until now existed only as rumour - an unearthed afternoon from the legendary pre-Flying Nun underground of Christchurch, New Zealand, surfacing more than four decades after it was first committed to tape, and never issued in any form before now.
The Victor Dimisich Band took shape in 1980, when Stephen Cogle and Peter Stapleton broke away from Bill Direen's Vacuum to follow their own songwr…
