Kawaida
A member of the radical black nationalist US Organisation, percussionist James Mtume championed the Kawaida way of life, aiming for collective creativity linked to its pan-African and Socialist ideals. With uncle Albert and father Jimmy Heath on board, Mtume cut this intense modal jazz concept album in December 1969 with Don Cherry, Herbie Hancock, Ed Blackwell and Buster Williams, yielding a masterpiece of percussion-heavy jazz, with every player on exceptional form, the five extended tracks re…
Tripsichord Music Box
West Coast blues rock act Tripsichord Music Box were part of San Francisco’s psychedelic underground during the late 1960s and early 70s. Discovered by Matthew Katz, who brokered success for Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape and It’s A Beautiful Day, Tripsichord’s debut long player somehow faded into obscurity, despite David Zandonatti’s inspired songwriting, his gripping lead guitar licks and some fine Hammond work from Oliver McKinney. The expanded edition has five sought-after bonus tracks, maki…
So Far
Bomb! **Remastered 180g LP, includes reproductions of the original nine art prints and insert** After the poor sales of their debut album, Faust's “So Far” , originally released in 1972, presents the more commercial and accessible side of the legendary German krautrock band without giving up their advanced and experimental personality. It is a perfect album to begin exploring the group's discography, featuring one of their most well-known songs, “It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl”, and is consider…
Annihilation Devices Part 2
A slow building, dread filled bass rumble that gradually builds in intensity before you release you're surrounded by dense, crunching textures. Originally released on cassette in an edition of 30 copies, which was the last Less Than Zero cassette and last release for almost 10 years.
Annihilation Devices
An icy cold blast of Italian harsh noise from Gabriele Giuliani, across two tracks of blown out electronics and feedback. Originally released as a cassette on Less Than Zero in 1996 and presented in a digipak case with a replication of the original layout.

This time, too, we go on a journey to discover previously unheard regions of jazz, folk and AOR from the 1970s and 80s.

The Stone
Mega Tip! Purple Trap, the powerful trio of Keiji Haino (voice, guitar), Bill Laswell on bass, and Rashied Ali (drums), recorded live on stage at The Stone. Recorded in December 2005, this furious live album by what can easily be called a super group remained unreleased till in 2023 Bill Laswell made it accessible in a rough-mixed digital version for his bandcamp subscribers program exclusively. For this vinyl version, the music has been newly mixed by Dirk Dresselhaus (SchneiderTM) and mastered…
The Parable of Arable Land
Milestone! The Texan Psych legends push boundaries on their 1967 debut album. The first and finest album by The Red Crayola – the band feted in psychedelia circles for producing some of the weirdest and most inventive music ever – which sounded unlike anything else from the 60s. At the cutting edge of psychedelic music, The Parable Of Arable Land defies boundaries and unleashes a free-form anti-rock noise on audiences. A precursor to avant-garde/noise & industrial rock, this recording is a conti…
L'Onorata Famiglia (Uccidere È Cosa Nostra)

Renowned for his prolific work in Italian film scores, Nicolai blends atmospheric jazz-rock, brooding fusion, and haunting melodies to perfectly capture the tension and intrigue of the era’s mafia-centric storytelling. This long-overdue release brings new life to the…
For Those Who Chant
For Those Who Chant, a record by trumpeter Luis Gasca that was published in 1972 and recorded at Columbia Studios in San Francisco, included a "who's who" of the city's A-tier musical scene from that time period with the participation of musicians. Carlos Santana and a pre-Journey Neal Schon on guitar, a rhythm unit consisting of Lenny White on drums, Stanley Clarke on bass (who were about to leap into a new band named Return to Forever), and the indefatigable Joe Henderson on tenor saxophone, t…
Maroon
*2024 repress* Separated from both its reputation and its sleeve art, the music of Muslimgauze explores the relationship of visual sensations -- space, color, depth, illusion -- to the listening experience. The music on Maroon is dub-like inspired techno music, laidback with voices appearing randomly in the mix. The thick drums and rich found sounds that densely populate the soundscapes on Maroon give materiality to the warm presence of the synth washes. The music is so layered and textured that…

Roller
*2025 reissue* Roller was the second record for Goblin, originally released in 1976, just after the successful score of Profondo Rosso, and is one of the very few Goblin records that was not intended to be a soundtrack. By many considered their best effort, in Roller the band develops their dark, hypnotic and totally instrumental sound, but with an always vivacious and dynamic edge. The record also features new members Agostino Marangolo (from Flea) and Massimo Guarini.An undisputed masterpiece…
Glow World
*2025 much needed repress!!! 200 copies limited edition* Glow World is Rod Modell's new project resulting from his collaboration with Taka Noda. The duo delivers what could be an example of perfect elegance and musical refinement, but the resulting sounds are once again dirtied, ruined and ravaged by a noise capable of deafening us, sounds that come from afar, that seem to fade away but suddenly illuminate the world around us, which lands on us and which no longer belongs to us, leaving us lost …
Musik Von Harmonia
** 2025 Repress. Gatefold cover ** Once called 'the world's most important rock group' by Brian Eno, legendary minimalist avant-garde band Harmonia was formed in the early '70s by Michael Rother of Neu! and Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius of Cluster. Although this supergroup produced only two studio albums - 1974's Musik von Harmonia and 1975'sDeluxe - they were very influential and perfectly embodied the Krautrock ideal. While leaning slightly towards Cluster's ambient sound, they wer…
SiAl
Tip! *50 copies limited edition* "Austrian sound artist Matthias Urban crafted the two 20-minute, side-long tracks on SiAl out of field recordings he made in Iceland a few years ago. His source sounds are often recognizable, filled with running water, chirping birds, and wafting wind. What makes SiAl so compelling is the way Urban sequences those sounds, creating a subliminal narrative where each aural event feels like a new chapter in a story. There’s a stretch on side two that builds palpable …
Iso-Erotic Calibration
Carefully constructed aural rituals from T.A.G.C., this album maps new realms in the area of sensual electronic music. Founder Adi Newton (Clock DVA) uses The Anti Group as an outlet for his research in psycho-acoustic music. "Iso-Erotic Calibration" explores the potent topic of human sexuality. Recorded over a period of three years, this could be considered on of their more "accessible" albums. Originally released in 1994 (Side Effects, the label of Lustmord, Musica Maxima Magnetica, and Adi's …
