Jujus / Alchemy of the Blues
Big Tip! Jujus/Alchemy of the Blues is Sarah Webster Fabio’s third album for Folkways. Funky riffs and jazz arrangements written and performed by her children and their band Don’t Fight the Feeling underpin Fabio’s poetry, giving her words gravity. "I feel that these [poems] represent the epitome of my experimenting with the integration of music and poetry in a Black idiom taken from the rich source of inspiration welling from the Black experience here in America,” explains Fabio in the album’s …
Intifaxa
*Deluxe cover, inner prints* Intifaxa is the first part in a series of 4 outstanding double vinyl albums with bonus songs, previously released on CD between 1990 and 1994 on the Australian cult label Extreme Music.
Intifaxa is full of heavy percussion fire with deep tribal grooves, embedded in modulated field recordings. The album is a transcendental journey into Eastern soundscapes and a secret weapon for DJs who enjoy to tear down the borders of tribal underground house and psychedelic trance …
Derailleur
Archie Shepp's world has always been filled with fire music, and eventually Fire Music. Before that landmark LP, Shepp made Four for Trane -- his August 1964 beachhead with Impulse. And even before that, as it turns out, came this one blip -- the earliest Shepp leader project yet on record. Under supervision of the artist, this previously unissued demo recording is now available from Triple Point Records. As the cover of Derailleur suggests, Shepp tries out some surprising combinations for the s…
The Lights Are On But No-One's Home
Limited edition pressing of 300 copies, in full colour sleeve re-creating the original CD artwork, with insert and comes in a poly-lined black inner sleeve Track 1 title is misspelt on both the sleeve and insert - A Bad Diana is a project from Diana Rogerson, someone I first became aware of aged 12 when I read about Nurse With Wound and their United Dairies label in Smash Hits magazine. I was confused, mystified and intrigued in equal measure, and a couple of years later as a result I bought my …
Stalker / The Mirror
Back in print ! Edward Artemiev's re-recording of his scores to Andrei Tarkovsky's classic films Зеркало (Mirror) (1975) and Сталкер (Stalker) (1979), reissued on 180-gram vinyl. When Artemiev recorded these scores in Moscow in 1989 and '90, there were no legitimately available releases of the original soundtracks. Artemiev chose to fill that void himself with these recordings, released on Torso Kino in the Netherlands as part of a 1990 double-LP set also containing re-recordings of Artemiev's s…

The OZ Tapes
One or two bumped corners, hence reduced price. ** Black Vinyl edition. Comes in a craft board jacket, including a 12-page liner notes book with archival photos ** Operating out of a small upstairs space just around the corner from the train station in the Kichijoji neighborhood of Tokyo, OZ was a scruffy, DIY affair that lasted not much more than a year. Between June 1972 to September 1973, the café and performance space became the nerve center for the city’s burgeoning underground and counte…
Vacation From My Mind
*2023 stock* A gift to the overthinkers and overworked. Those who are over-concerned and always preoccupied. This is an invitation to hang up the bootstraps, take a load off, and visit a place in the mind where the sun is shining, the breeze is soft and the waves lap softly at your feet. Vacation From My Mind is a sonic realignment of melancholic soul, breezy soft rock, & mellow jazz-funk.
This album is a thoughtfully curated collection of 12 rare and obscure tracks from 1973 to 1981. From Jean…
Nie Ma Mocnych
*250 copies limited edition* Preparing a successful sequel to a popular film is a difficult and not always feasible task. Meanwhile, Sylwester Chęciński has succeeded in this art twice. "Nie ma mocnych" the second story about the fate of the Kargula and Pawlak families, defends itself just as well as "Sami swoi."
"Nie ma mocnych" was intended by director Sylwester Chęcinski and screenwriter Andrzej Mularczyk as a contemporary continuation, set in the realities of the Polish countryside of the 1…
Last Exit
Killer French Boogie, Jazz-Funk album by the prolific arranger/composer Christian Gaubert, feat. Some of the key musicians of the French jazz scene of the 70s. French Soul masterpiece with the Rare Groove classic “Sweet Maryline” and “Sweet and Fool Like a Child” beautifully reissued here and remastered from the original master tapes.
Ilona Staller
In the late 1970s, Ilona Staller aka Cicciolina’s started her parallel career in the music field. Here's the reissue of her first LP.
Banda Da Capital
Som Imaginário are the stuff of MPB mythos. Integral to Brazil’s Clube Da Esquina movement in the early 1970s, a heady blend of progressive rock, folk, psychedelia, jazz and traditional Brazilian rhythm flows through the three studio albums the band recorded between ‘70 and ‘73. Flying the countercultural freak-flag amid the context of military dictatorship, the Brazilian prog lords shared much of the sense of experimentation and bountiful fuzz bequeathed by their tropicalismo forbearers. But ar…
Visions of Dawn
Recorded in Paris, in 1976, Visions of Dawn is the stunning ‘lost’ Brazilian acid-folk album by Joyce, Nana Vasconcelos and Mauricio Maestro. First uncovered and released in 2009, the record transfixed Brazilian music lovers and fans of otherworldly psych-folk alike. Led by the sharp lyrics and gorgeous voice of a young Joyce Moreno, the trio is completed by the late great Brazilian percussion legend Nana Vasconcelos, and master arranger, producer and bassist Mauricio Maestro.
These beautiful re…
Tempo Pra Tudo
Stunning private press album from 1981 by Minas Gerais singer-songwriter Fernando Oly. Fernando Oly is a musician who was part of Lô Borges' band and took part in the recording of the album "Via Láctea" in 1979. He placed one of his compositions among the album's tracks: "Chuva na Montanha," whose original version was also included on “Tempo Pra tudo.”
東方不敗
"Since he emerged in 2014, Tzusing's style of techno, tough and tactile, has differed from the grungy lo-fi with which L.I.E.S. is associated. Though the Malaysian-Chinese producer's music is loud and authoritative, he eschews the noise that defines some of his labelmates' music. On his first album, 東方不敗—named after a character, Dongfang Bubai, in a Jin Yong novel—industrial and EBM is the name of the game. Incorporating ideas from a vast array of artists across those genres, Tzusing's debut alb…
I’m The Sky: Studio And Demo Recordings, 1964–1971
*2023 stock* Norma Tanega’s I’m the Sky: Studio and Demo Recordings, 1964–1971 is a comprehensive survey of the pioneering folk artist’s two commercially released studio albums, an unreleased album, and a trove of unheard demos. Before playing a pivotal part in folk music’s cultural crossover in the ‘60s, Tanega was a curious little girl born at the very end of the ‘30s to a multicultural Navy family in Long Beach, California. Her parents often brought her to Los Angeles for piano lessons, and e…
Inner Roads And Outer Paths
*300 copies limited edition* Inner Roads and Outer Paths is Herefordshire born Vic Mars’ third release on Clay Pipe Music. It follows last years ‘The Soundtrack To The Hospice’ commissioned by Gideon Coe for BBC 6 Music, and 2015s critically acclaimed ‘The Land and the Garden’.
Inspired by in part by Alfred Watkins words and photographs of Herefordshire, the record also harks back to a period in Vic’s youth spent exploring the abandoned houses and factories on the fringes of his home town; the i…
Muscolo Rosso
In the late 1980s, Ilona Staller aka Cicciolina’s popularity was skyrocketing. It was at that time that she recorded her most representative and iconic song: ‘Muscolo Rosso’. It is finally reissued in 12″ 45rpm from original master tapes accompanied by 3 other dance hits such as ‘San Francisco Dance’, ‘Inno Alla Trasgressione’ and ‘Sexy Porno Shop’.
Fisher
A rare album, “Fisher”, was originally released on the Nentu label in 1976. Think Grant Green meets Eddie Hazel. This LP has it all: gorgeous Soul Jazz, wahed-out fuzz rock, dirty, head-nodding funk rhythms. A monster psychedelic soul-funk instrumental album. This is less jazzy than the “Third Cup” and “The Next One Hundred Years”, released by Chicago’s Cadet label and more cosmic psych funk across both sides and gets super exploratory and trippy. Edward Thomas Fisher was born in Little Rock, Ar…
The Insect Trust
Insect Trust were an American jazz-based rock band that formed in New York in 1967. The members of the band were Nancy Jeffries on vocals, Bill Barth on guitar, Luke Faust -- formerly of the Holy Modal Rounders -- on guitar, banjo, fiddle, and harmonica, Trevor Koehler on saxophone, and Robert Palmer (1945 -- 1997) on clarinet and alto saxophone.
