Reissues
First Recordings Vol. 1
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* Recorded in Stockholm in 1962, and originally released on Sonet Records, these sessions stand as Ayler's first step into a new sonic world. This was when Ayler was still dealing with classic Jazz standards such as "I'll remember April", M Davis's "Tune Up" and "Rollins Tune", a declared tribute to the older master Sonny Rollins. His already super-strong tenor sax voice dominates a quiet, almost shy, local rhythm section featuring Torbjorn Hultcrant on bass and S…
ERR REC Library Vol.1 Espaces Urbains
For this "Library Vol. 1 / Espaces Urbains", we have gathered around this theme Parisian and French composers, subtractive jansenists obsessed by a certain idea of electronic and electroacoustic music, film music and illustration... the one that is made by turning potentiometers, manipulating waveforms, inventing oneself as a multi-instrumentalist and often as a home-studio wizard.A passionate, referenced and inspired machine song that often involves the computer only at the end of the chain, al…
Soul Connection
One of the most influential and underground Hammond organists of the 1960's was "Big" John Patton as he was then known. If it was the groove that you wanted Patton was your Man and he made several albums for the legendary Blue Note label, many of which went on to sell for eye watering prices. As his style went out of favor, some of the recordings never saw the light of day until almost 20 years later and at the same time Patton slipped into the background. He resurfaced in the 1980s and went int…
All Is Well
*200 copies edition* In its own way the music of British duo brothers Mark and Clive Ives—known creatively as Woo—seemed destined for a digital world that the internet offers. They began making music together decades ago, but it’s only been within the last decade that they’ve started to receive the critical acclaim they rightly deserve. Their music is largely instrumental (though not always the case) and is perhaps the best example of “mood music” I can think of. Occasionally it’s meditative and…
The Path at West Holding and Other Poems (Book)
*300 copies limited edition* A collection of the nineteen late poems (1992-2003) of the Renaissance man of music, art, dance and literature, Lou Harrison. Elegantly printed with color illustrations. Including the long ten-part tribute to the composer's longtime partner William Colvig, "The Path at West Holding."
In Between The Notes : A Portrait Of Pandit Pran Nath
William Farley’s 1986 documentary portrait of the Indian classical figure, who considered by many to be the godfather of drone. Featuring interviews with Terry Riley, Mariam Zazeela and La Monte Young.
Frälst! A Selection Of Swedish Christian Grooves 1969-1979
This collection presents some of the best and unique music that could be found on rare records released by the Swedish Christian communities between 1969-1979. Between doubt and faith, there was way out pop, gospel, funk, rock and psychedelic sounds with wah-wah fuzz guitars and conga rhythms. The common determinator: to spread the Christian message through music. Several of these cuts are from ultra-rare records that are known only to collectors, while others are from records so obscure that on…
Kosterläge
*2022 stock* First ever vinyl reissue of rare and sought after Swedish psychedelic / progressive / folk underground treasures from the early 1970s. From Swedish folk to epic full tilt fuzz guitar jams it’s all in here. Originally released in 1972 on the obscure Swedish Gump label with many talented musicians of the time on board. Led by Mats Glenngård on guitar and fiddle, the album shows an interesting musical transition period before he joined the legendary Kebnekajse. One time only limited pr…
In What's Missing, Is Where Love Has Gone
* 2022 Stock * This soundtrack was originally produced by Mordant Music as part of the exhibition with the same title by Chris Petit at Decad in Berlin, inspired by a freeze frame accidentally rendered from Petit’s late-night viewing of Nicolas Roeg’s The Man Who Fell To Earth.
"In a time of such free-floating anxiety and bad political hair, with everything running on empty, it’s hard to think of anything in terms of show or no show . . . I find myself thinking about an image of an entertainer, …
Huntington Ashram Monastery
Alice Coltrane had an enormous legacy to overcome in her late husband- her debut album, "A Monastic Trio" stuck pretty close to what John Coltrane's last bands were doing the studio, "Huntington Ashram Monastary" finds her branching out. Recorded in mid-1969, a year after her debut and two years after the death of her husband, Coltrane performs on piano and harp and is backed by bassist Ron Carter and drummer Rashied Ali.Musically, it's a bit more relaxed than before, with Coltrane's playing a b…
Blecheintopf (Music for Modern Art Exhibitions, Volume II)
*100 copies limited edition* "These liner notes needed to be a personal note, too. I first listened to Blecheintopf in 1983, at age 14, after someone had brought me the cassette tape from the Netherlands. As a German, I was immediately intrigued by its title. Then I got captivated by the soundscapes on tape: playful and dense at the same time, sometimes haunting, as if one was listening to an experimental post-apocalyptic science fiction movie without images. The sounds and the cassette tape hav…
Science Fiction Dance Party
Back in 1968 a pair of Germanic behind-the-scenes sound librarians called Horst Ackermann and Heribert Thusek left a tiny, but indelible, pinprick on the history of German Pop in the misshaped form of a sexy horror cash-in concept album called Dracula’s Music Cabinet. Shelved at a micro-cosmic axis where Krautrock meets easy listening meets psychedelia the delayed reaction of this mutant concoction eventually exploded in the mid-1990s in the hands of a generation of ‘record diggers’ sending curr…
Dracula's Music Cabinet
Finders Keepers presents this uber-rare soundtrack to a film that never existed, performed by an imaginery pop group. Incredible Polanski inspired German hip hop psychsploitation beats from 1969.
Cherry Jam
* Cardboard sleeve with Japanese replica obi strip and fold out liner notes sheet * Never-issued work from Don Cherry – and a really key piece of the puzzle in the career of this legendary trumpeter! The recordings were done for Swedish Radio, with great fidelity – more than just live tracks captured in a club, and instead some really thoughtful material that marks an early pairing of Cherry's talents with the Swedish scene that he would soon call home! Don plays cornet, and the music is maybe …
Hong Kong Score
For their third release, after a few years of hard diggin’ and historical researches, they went deeper with Hong Kong Score, an introspection into the music in the chinese Cinema industry. A selection of tracks from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan, specially produced for movies and illustrations. The result is a compilation of 12 totally unknown gems sung mostly in mandarin and cantonese, from real deep instrumentals, Hip Hop breaks, Ethio style crazy drums, to heavy Bass à la Alain Goraguer (S…
The Mermaid's Purse: Live at Chatham College, 1976
In 1976 the Entourage Music and Theater Ensemble reached a creative zenith. The nomadic troupe had just released The Neptune Collection, its iconic second album for Moses Asch’s Folkways Records, and decided to present the music to audiences across the rust belt in its most miasmic, elemental form. Extended stretches of full-group improvisation mingled with folk-tune like melodies during these performances, which featured multiple dancers spontaneously interpreting the music, at times in elabora…

Solar One/The Watts Towers
Other Minds is excited to bring you an EP of two archival works from Bay Area composer Charles Boone. Both pieces take their inspiration and titles from man-made landmarks across California. Solar One from a monumental power station near the desert city of Barstow, The Watts Towers from Simon Rodia’s outsider art masterpiece in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Watts. In much of his work, the composer seeks to create sonic landscapes that are simultaneously static and dynamic. Certain elements, ha…
