Torn Asunder: The Half Girl
*300 copies limited eidtion* Power Electronics, for the most part, stays within its lanes of transgressive misanthropy, with a blackened explosiveness of tortured psyches and nightmarish reflections for the darkest facets of the human condition. Since Whitehouse introduced the phrase, concept, and framework to Power Electronics, its authorship has been primarily male. But within the past decade or so, a diverse web of voices - female, feminist, non-binary, queer - has thrust the PE aesthetic bey…

Bloque 6
“Bloque 6” (1968), by Juan Carlos Calderón, is a landmark recording in the history of modern jazz in Spain, markedly different from the albums Calderón would record just a few years later under the influence of funk, disco music, and even flamenco. Juan Carlos Calderón enjoyed a long and successful career, composing and arranging some of the most iconic songs by Spanish artists such as Joan Manuel Serrat, Mocedades, and Ana Belén, among many others. However, his musical beginnings were closely …
Fuera Del Cielo
‘La Balsa’ was the first Argentine massive rock hit. In 1967 Los Gatos became the most famous local rock band with this song. At the front, as composer and singer, was Litto Nebbia. Although this milestone has remained eternally linked to Nebbia's name, almost eclipsing the rest of his work, it is really his solo career that unveils the artist's overwhelming talent and his determination to create music freely, regardless ofcommercial considerations.
“Fuera del cielo” (1975) is an art rock/space …
Satori
Originally released in 1971, "Satori" is Flower Travellin’ Band’s groundbreaking masterpiece and one of the most visionary albums of the early heavy rock era. It fused hard rock, psychedelia, progressive music and traditional Eastern influences into a sound unlike anything heard before. Unlike many rock albums of the era, “Satori” is structured as a continuous musical journey, with its five tracks presented as interconnected movements rather than conventional songs. The band’s powerful rhythm se…
Music To Set Everything On Fire
After a brief period during which they recorded only a couple of 7-inch singles for the Orfeón label that had a very limited distribution, Mexican rockers Antorcha fully embraced a DIY approach to managing their own career. They had evolved into a heavy psychedelic rock group, with no metaphors and no compromises. Anarchists in a country that could barely utter the word without trembling. It was the final years of the 1960s. Their influences came from Iron Butterfly, Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, V…
Trace
Powerful trio music by pianist Takehiro Honda, known for his strong touch and bluesy feeling, together with an American rhythm section. The album features a line up of compelling originals, including the overwhelmingly powerful "Minors Only" and the title track "Salaam Salaam," whose title means “peace” in Swahili.
East Wind was a ground-breaking jazz label established in 1974 through the full cooperation of Ai Music, as it was then known, and Nippon Phonogram, as it was then known. Over a per…
Out Of Chaos
The saxophone, thunderous as a peal of lightning, burns the listener’s body and shakes the soul. Out Of Chaos captures a new frontier reached by Kosuke Mine beyond the depths of chaos. Having attracted widespread attention through his work with the Masafumi Kikuchi Group and the consecutive release of three albums under his own name in 1970, Kosuke Mine was one of the most talked-about figures in Japanese jazz. Following the breakup of the Kikuchi Group, he released the masterpiece Daguri in 197…
Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory
Windy and Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory is a purposefully misleading title for the first collaborative work from four friends who met close to 30 years prior. All active participants in Michigan independent music circles since the early '90s, Windy and Carl are well-known for their foundational contributions to drift and guitar-born ambient sounds, with songs characterized by deep connections to the natural world and a hard to pin down yet impossible to miss emotional vulnerability. Optigan Con…
Série Torso
CD boxset reissuing the four Série Torso cassettes released on Deadline Recordings. Includes a fifth bonus disc on unreleased material, and featuring photos of Black Leather Jesus fans given for use.
For The Summer, Or Forever
*100 copies limited edition* Laconic haze, ethereal curiosities, nostalgic glimpses and fictional illusions. Northern Irish Halftribe’s (Ryan Bisset’s) third album arrives punctually to soundtrack the coming summer – or eternity, apparently, if you like. It is indeed suitably warm and familiar stuff, going straight for the bliss-out button with dreamy, droning pieces mixing airy synths and calm field recordings.
Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66
On Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66, the pianist and his group turn bossa nova and Brazilian songcraft into sleek, cross‑border pop. Their version of Jorge Ben’s “Mais Que Nada” became the first Portuguese‑language hit in the US, opening doors for Brazilian music worldwide and helping earn the album a place in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Nigeria 80
Strut presents Nigeria 80, the next essential chapter in the legendary Nigeria 70 series, diving deep into the explosive sound world of 1980s Nigeria.
Butterfly
*2026 repress!!!* Oh yes! First ever official reissue of the positively sublime and very rare Butterfly LP, recorded in Tokyo in 1979 by Japanese songstress Kimiko Kasai and jazz legend Herbie Hancock. Due to its super-rare status as a Japan-only release, this exquisite collection of covers never got the recognition it deserved at the time, despite incredibly inspired performances from Kimiko, Herbie and the supremely talented musicians assembled for the project. From heavenly drummer Alphonse M…
Nature's Dream-Harp
Huge Tip! “Sacred Aeolian music capturing and harnessing the divine power of the wind”. Aeolian Harp is somewhere between a string instrument and a receiver. Its strings are agitated by the wind without any human interference, producing tones entirely of its own volition. Archer toured the British Isles setting up his harp in various sacred and loosely mystical locations. Where he let the Devaharp transmit an otherwise unknown sacred music that has always existed around us.
Listening to the natu…

The album alternates original compositions written by Mario Rusca with evergreen classics of the genre.
In 1997 SAAR Records with its Giants Of Jazz label for the contemp…
Hooteroll?
An adventurous instrumental jazz-rock fusion album that captures the free-form chemistry between keyboardist Howard Wales and guitarist Jerry Garcia. The record blends jazz improvisation, psychedelic rock, blues, funk, and progressive influences into fluid, exploratory compositions driven by Wales' inventive keyboard work and Garcia's expressive, melodic guitar playing. Supported by musicians including John Kahn, Bill Vitt, and Martin Fierro, the album emphasizes spontaneous interplay over conve…
Undercurrent / Wanderlust
With a refined, modern sensibility and a deeply human sense of space, “Undercurrent / Wanderlust” balances detail and emotion. Each track unfolds like a short journey: moments of clarity and restraint giving way to tension, color, and release. The partnership between Suzuki’s expressive musical voice and Okagawa’s atmospheric approach creates a sound world that is both immersive and immediate—an invitation to listen closely, then follow where the music leads.
La Rueda Infinita de Hans
La rueda infinita de Hans continues the exploration initiated by Juan Belda & The Bit Band, expanding their language through a conceptually structured and musically ambitious work.
The album brings together a stable ensemble of outstanding musicians from the worlds of jazz and experimental music: Jorge Pardo, Enrico Barbaro, Juanjo Ortí and Epi Lorente. Their collective virtuosity shapes a sound that moves freely between composition and improvisation, precision and openness. Throughout the recor…
No Encuentro La Tónica
With No encuentro la tónica, Juan Belda & The Bit Band push their musical language further into unpredictable territory. The album unfolds as a restless and multifaceted work where jazz, experimental rock and electronic textures intersect freely. Rather than following a fixed stylistic path, the music constantly shifts perspective, moving through dense arrangements, sudden rhythmic turns and moments of spacious improvisation.
The ensemble once again brings together a remarkable group of musician…
