Solo Works. Kollektion 07
Dieter Moebius is one of the most important protagonists of avant-garde electronic music in Germany. Alongside his bands Kluster/Cluster and Harmonia, he participated in numerous collaborations (with the likes of Brian Eno and Mani Neumeier/Guru Guru). Seven years after Moebius passed away in July 2015, Asmus Tietchens, one of his musical companions, compiled this collection for Bureau B – he concentrated on his solo works "as they offer the clearest insight into his personality and inventive po…
The Faust Tapes
There’s something perversely fabulous about the thought of this warped masterwork wandering into 60,000 unsuspecting British homes in 1973. Faust’s second-and-a-half album hit the shops to celebrate their signing to the nascent Virgin Records, who were looking to take advantage of the zeitgeist for German music at that time. Undeterred by the fact the band’s unwillingness to engage with the commercial landscape had seen them dropped from Polydor, Branson and co cooked up a suitably spectacular m…
Orillas Distantes / Distant Shores
Mario Verandi’s music goes beyond music. It’s electronic. It’s also theater, dance, sound art, film, radio. In fact, Verandi has such a strong sense of dramatic personality, and his music is so evocative, that you’ll find yourself in a musical theater. You’ll hear percussion instruments from Brazil. You’ll hear the sounds of Barcelona, with its street bustle, guitars, and rhythms, in your living room. He evokes a kind of flamenco that you’ll rarely hear, with suggestions of guitars, the dancing …
City of Light
*500 copies limited 'indian green' color vinyl* City of Light is the sixth solo album by American composer Bill Laswell, released on July 29, 1997. While it may appear an anachronism in his catalog, fans of Bill Laswell will find City of Light an extension of ideas he has explored throughout his career. His strong interest in Eastern music and religion resulted in this 1997 collaboration with Janet Rienstra. Part sacred, spoken word, part meditative soundscape, City of Light takes as its inspir…
Dolunay
An absolute burner, the first ever vinyl pressing of “Dolunay” by the seminal Turkish ensemble Konstrukt's debut album with the legendary German free jazz saxophonist Peter Brötzmann

Erich Kleinschuster 6tet – Feat. Carmell Jones, Slide Hampton & Art Farmer – ORF / 1968-71
Erich Kleinschuster’s projects and initiatives played a vital role in establishing a spiritual home for jazz in Vienna. The founding of his sextet in 1966 and, in 1968, a jazz department at the Vienna Conservatory, were catalysts for a scene that attracted international stars as well as nurturing the careers of home-grown virtuosos. Many jazz exiles, admired in Europe as they never were in the United States, settled for long periods, carving out new lives on the continent. The recordings in this…

The legendary Goodiepal whistled on two tracks during his visit in Finland. The album was put on hold for many years due to other projects.

Penguin Bids
*2022 stock.* Hot, hot and even hotter! Thrilling big-band recordings from the 1960s, made with the Polish Radio Dance Orchestra… The music is full of energy and swing, and is an evidence of Jerzy Milian’s artistry as an arranger, and above all, as a great vibraphone player.
After Edward Czerny took over the leadership of the Polish Radio Dance Orchestra in 1959, he took it to a level unattainable to his predecessors. Until 1974 he regularly performed with the Orchestra in Poland and in other Ea…
Mam Tu Swój Dom
*2022 stock.* Two forgotten films from the same year, with similar themes and music by the same composer. The album "Mam Tu Swój Dom" presents previously unpublished recordings of film music by Krzysztof Komeda, who, it turns out, found himself as at ease in short, intimate forms arranged for unusual instrumental lineups as he did in jazz.
Krzysztof Komeda's film music is still to some extent an undiscovered land. In addition to the timeless and legendary works ("Nóż w wodzie", "Niewinni czarodz…

Zimna Kąpiel
The history of music largely consists of the word "if." For if Boguslaw "Dizzy" Rudzinski had not emigrated to Sweden in the mid-1960s, the history of Polish jazz might have looked very different. And the songs that appear on the album "Cold Bath" more than half a century after recording - could successfully fill one of the volumes of the "Polish Jazz" series.
Boguslaw Rudzinski, despite his great activity on the music scene of the late 1950s and early 1960s, quickly fell into oblivion after emi…

Optima Fide (1968-70 • More Belgian Scores - Third Stream Tales)
The Belgian jazz orchestra run by BRT radio was one of Europe's most interesting workshops, allowing composers to experiment at will with the sound or structure of works. Jerzy Milian exploited the possibilities of this composition to its absolute limits, and "Optima Fide," the eleventh installment in the "Jerzy Milian Tapes" series, chronicles this turbulent period in his career. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Milian regularly wrote large forms bordering on jazz and avant-garde for Belgian radio. …
