Reissues
Ultra Point Of Intersection Exist
*199 copies limited edition* Originally released in 1987, this album stands as a defining statement of the Japanese noise and industrial music scene - an unrelenting fusion of harsh and heavy electronics paired with mechanized rhythms. The brainchild of Ichiro Tsuji, Dissecting Table’s sonic assault exists in the same lineage as the dystopian brutality of Whitehouse, the mechanical terror of early SPK and the raw sonic deconstruction of early Einstürzende Neubauten. At the crossroads of noise, i…

The Awakening
Ahmad Jamal is a jazz giant and The Awakening is his iconic masterpiece. The landmark deep trio session - recorded in NYC and released on Impulse! in 1970 - is an essential album and perennially sought-after on vinyl, so Be With Records are delighted to make it available again. As a “Zen master of jazz piano” and one of its greatest innovators, Jamal evolved his elegant sound with this adventurous record. The Awakening showcased his fast, richly melodic chops in remarkable variation. A consummat…
Shortwave Encounters
* 400 copies, White Vinyl * Shortwave Encounters is Walter Maioli’s research on extraterrestrial sounds and radio communications started in Amsterdam during the orbital passage of the Comet Halley in 1986. This record is an imaginary interaction between a sender and a receiver, an attempt to create a logged communication between earth and space, combining radio eavesdropping and field-recordings as well as acoustic and electronic instruments, spanning from shells to bat calls, and from the ney f…
Amoskeag
2025 Repress Every song on this album taps into raw, rich veins of sound that are simultaneously dense but easy to enjoy; vintage and modern; new yet timeless. The album kicks off with a monster track entitled "Stratton-Eustis" - one of those complex yet flowing tunes that makes you think overdubs were involved or the player has grown an extra set of limbs. Then there's "Kenduskeag,” a raga-esque group recording in an abandoned New England Conservatory building with Ethan WL and the long standin…
Blanksmanship
Edition of 200 copies, hand-stamped sleeve, 24-page booklet. The first ever reissue of 1994 sound poetry masterpiece Blanksmanship, a high point in the work of legendary avant-garde poet and artist John M. Bennett. Editions Basilic and Luna Bisonte Prods previously collaborated on »A Flattened Face Fogs Through: Selected Sound Poetry (1986-1994)«, an anthology of Bennett’s sound poetry released in 2022 to widespread acclaim.
John M. Bennett’s Blanksmanship is a totemic representation of someth…
The Time Has Come
Offering some of her first original compositions, ‘The Time Has Come’ was a break from tradition in more ways than one for Anne Briggs. Where previous recordings displayed the unaccompanied melodies of her voice, this album - originally released by CBS in 1971 - brings additional instrumentation in the form of guitar and bouzouki. The result is that her vocals are not submerged but heightened - the plucked strings providing the perfect foil for her crystalline inflection.
‘The Time Has Come’ i…
Aktuala
Limited to 500 copies, hand-numbered. Gatefold cover, textured sleeve + printed inner. Red Vinyl. 1973 Aktuala debut, a stunning overall work where you can hear a lot of different musical influences : avant-garde folk, mediterranean blues ,jazz improvisation, minimalism, african percussions, indian ragas all played with a true psychedelic feeling. The album was recorded in a few days in a totally acoustic dimension and the line-up seems to be a quintet of contemporary music more than a progrock …
Concerti 1973/4/5
2025 Stock. Limited to 500 copies, hand-numbered. Gatefold cover, textured sleeve + printed inner. This double live album perhaps embraces the most creative period of our psychedelic 'messenger'; Claudio Rocchi is the author who gave a strong contribution to the Italian underground musical scene. The tracks are from 1972 to 1975, and eight of them are completely unpublished. Listening to the double live album, you can smell the scent, and you can see the colours and the atmosphere of the magic a…
Mirage
2025 Stock. Limited to 500 copies, hand-numbered. Gatefold cover, textured sleeve + printed inner. This album comes with a bonus DVD featuring an audiovisual live performance at OUT OFF, Milan 1976. Milestone reissue! This work was realized in 1976; Cramps Records would have to publish it, but "Mirage" sank into the oblivion for 36 years. It's visionary as always; it has got a psychedelic attitude and an electronic expressive form. Thanks to its sensitiveness, its creativity, and its very good a…
Syr 5
""Donald Duck, kill Minnie!" These words, ordered with urgency against a circular series of drum strikes and manipulated guitar/electronic textures, come over three fourths of the way through the album known as SYR 5 (aka "Olive's Horn"). While the words and sounds taken on their own may shock, their appearance within this collaborative effort between Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth, Body/Head, solo efforts), Ikue Mori (DNA, solo) and DJ Olive (We, solo) by this point in the album are not surprising. Ta…
Direct Action
Since their formation in 1977 Mark Perry’s group Alternative TV have moved far away from their more direct punk rock beginnings into all manner of other areas of music that have sometimes themselves drawn from improvisation, free jazz, industrial and electronic music. On 'Direct Action', Alternative TV’s first studio album since 'Opposing Forces' in 2015, we are presented with six instrumental tracks which steadily rip apart all expectations as they shed all allusions to rock music in favour of …
Nahuel Jazz Quartet
The group's debut album, recorded in May 1963, was to prove a great incentive to many other Chliean jazz acts, not least the Chilean Jazz Messengers and the Village Trio. However, the album proved more that just a motivator and inspiration to others, it stands by itself as a solid, tight jazz album. Recored for the independent label Ediciones LR Ortiz and engineered by Rafael Hidalgo, it was a genuine milestone by being the first full jazz album recorded in Chile by a professional Chilean group.…
Shooting At The Moon
2025 stock "Recorded with his road band the Whole World that featured Mike Oldfield on guitar, keysman David Bedford and Lol Coxhill on sax (who had been added to tour in support of Ayer's first solo LP Joy Of A Toy), this 1970 second solo album is a unique pop record hiding behind a prog rock mask. Produced by Peter Jenner, best known for his work with Roy Harper, Shooting At The Moon is quite easily one of Ayers' best albums containing his most appealing songwriting. Original artwork. New deta…

Green Caterpillar
Previous album, "Brow Up," which made it known to the jazz world, this is Isao Suzuki's second album. You can enjoy the interplay with the Watanabe Kazumi, ...etc. This is a masterpiece of one creature.
