Interview / Colony For Silence (Tape)
A crucial document from the experimental poetry underground emerges with this rare archival release. Side A features G.J. de Rook, the legendary Dutch concrete poet, in a revealing interview about sound poetry, conducted in Dutch but enriched with fascinating historic samples. Side B presents a rare sound piece by Takahashi Shohachiro, the enigmatic Japanese performance artist who bridged Beat poetry and experimental sound art.
G.J. de Rook (born 1942) stands as the undisputed pioneer of Dutch v…
Panoramic Feelings
Panoramic Feelings resurfaces as a mega-rare Italian library masterpiece - Alessandro Alessandroni's 1971 Canopo opus blending psych, funk, lounge and bossa from the legendary whistler of spaghetti western fame.
My Special Inspiration
Racing accelerates into the present as Teddy Lasry and Claude Perraudin's 1976 sports library masterwork returns - Vinymatic Records unleashes this dynamic fusion of jazz-funk velocity and cinematic electronics.
Cumbia Siglo XXI
After the very acoustic "¿Dónde estás María?". I decided to try a new experiment taking as a reference the legendary group "Cumbia siglo XX" which is a group who explores a futuristic vision of coastal cumbia in the 80s, together with other groups such as "Grupo folclórico", "2000 voltios" and others, mainly under the label Machuca and Felito records. This new 80s cumbia was a combination of funky basses and a further evolution of the rhythms, blending this style with disco and even rock music a…
Modern Way
Modern Way materializes as Teddy Lasry's most accomplished statement - Vinymatic Records presents the visionary 1981 opus where analog mastery collides with futuristic imagination in an essential artifact of French cosmic music.
Extra Width
"Extra Width," released in 1993, is the third album by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion. Fusing punk blues with garage rock and rockabilly, it captures the band's raw energy and innovative sound. With standout tracks like "Afro" and "Soul Letter," the album solidified their reputation for wild, groove-driven rock.
Tutti Fluti
Tutti Fluti resurfaces as Vinymatic Records reissues Teddy Lasry's 1979 masterwork - a transcendent exploration where flutes become cosmic breath, weaving ethereal jazz, naturalistic ambient and electronic poetry into pure sonic meditation.
I/O
Akio Niitsu's first album, "I/O(i･o)" released in 1978, was produced in a homemade studio that had been converted from a storeroom in his home, and he spent three years doing everything from composition to engineering by himself, using overdubbed guitar recordings. Akio Niitsu's first analog re-release has been decided.
As a guitar multi-recording album, the idea was realized six years earlier than the album "E2-E4" released in 1984 by Manuel Göttsching, the central figure of "Ash La Tempel", bu…
+ Ou - 8000
Long kept in the shadows, + Ou – 8000 is a rare gem of the French musical avant-garde, born from the meeting of three composers at the peak of their inventiveness. Initially intended as sound illustration, this album crosses the boundaries of library music, space jazz, and electronic experimentation, with a freedom and boldness that today give it cult status. Teddy Lasry, an iconic figure from the Magma universe, has always moved between jazz, progressive rock, and electronic music. A saxophonis…
Solid Jackson
When eminent jazz practitioners with shared histories convene in the studio without rehearsal or preparatory gigs, a perfunctory, by-the-numbers session is often the outcome. That is decidedly not the case on Solid Jackson, whose personnel, four of whom participated on the well-wrought day-after-Christmas of 1994 Criss Cross album titled Consenting Adults, reside in any hardcore jazz connoisseur’s “top-five”. This second gathering of M.T.B. (titled for the surnames of Brad Mehldau, Mark Turner a…
Spiritual Sound (Mizik Filamonik)
Telluric, intense, terribly alive, the gwoka drums of Guadeloupe carry the identity of a painful and fervent island. Marked forever by the crime of slavery, Guadeloupe's créolité cherishes the ka drums and their natural environment: the low-pitched boula drum with male goatskin, the high-pitched soloist makè drum with female goatskin, the chacha, ti bwa, triangle, calabash and other percussion instruments that surround them, and the voices - the fiery, proud, timbred, urgent voices of the gwoka.…
Music For People, Birds, Butterflies & Mosquitoes
Jimmy Giuffre, a versatile musician known for his innovative jazz compositions and arrangements, took a break from recording after a prolific career spanning from the 1950s. Following a decade focused on live performances, he returned to the studio with "Music for People, Birds, Butterflies and Mosquitoes." Giuffre's unique approach to jazz, fostering free interplay among musicians, emerged during his tenure as an arranger for Woody Herman in the late 1940s. Transitioning to the West Coast cool …
Music for Zen Meditation and Other Joys
Mostly improvised by clarinettist Tony Scott, backed by Hozan Yamamoto and Shinichi Yuize — on the Japanese instruments shakuhachi and koto — this 1964 album is a precursor to later movements in ambient and new age music, from in and out of the jazz world.
The Body & The Soul
In his last release for the Impulse label, Hubbard’s ambitious 1963 recording The Body & The Soul includes both an all-star septet and an orchestra with strings. Including a number of Hubbard originals and such notables as Curtis Fuller (trombone), Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone), Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone), Cedar Walton (piano), Reggie Workman (bass), and Louis Hayes (drums), the album stands alone as one of the most unique productions in Freddie’s substantive discography and as a showcase fo…
The Quest
2025 stock Probably due to the fact that Eric Dolphy died untimely in 1964, making every one of his recorded contributions more widely sought after, pianist Mal Waldron’s album, The Quest, was reissued soon after its release under the reedman’s name. Tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin is also featured on The Quest. Ervin and Dolphy had both been members of the Charles Mingus group and the two reedmen recorded various LPs together with Mingus between 1960 and 1963.
Early Works 1988 - 1992
A raw sonic document of exile, trauma, and transformation, this CD collects early works by Hungarian artist Sándor Vály, recorded between 1988 and 1992. Created using homemade instruments, rudimentary electronics, and cassette gear, these tracks trace a turbulent path through desertion, psychiatric confinement, political escape, and cultural rebirth. Inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead and personal upheaval, Bardo Tödol I–II, SoulDrum, and other recordings evoke a haunting inner journey bet…
I'm Gonna Take You Home
The story of Father Yod, Yahowa 13 and the Source Family could literally fill books, but rest assured, they truly were the "apex of high" in terms of psychedelic music. A tale that transcends conventional music history, this legendary collective represents one of the most radical experiments in communal living and cosmic sound ever documented. The basics paint an extraordinary picture: Father Yod was a WWII flying ace and spiritual seeker who gathered his "children" around him in early 1970s Los…
Fernweh
Visionary electroacoustic explorations return as Black Truffle reissues Kassel Jaeger's Fernweh, a major work fusing musique concrète and synthesis into emotionally charged sonic landscapes of rare intensity.
Toinen Kaupunki
Three pioneers of contemporary minimal electronic music converge on this remarkable collaborative EP, bridging the austere aesthetics of Finnish electronic minimalism with the ambient experimentalism of a new generation. Released via the legendary Sähkö Recordings' Puu sublabel, this tripartite exploration represents a masterful synthesis of post-minimalist sensibilities and environmental sound design.
A Missing Myth Of The Future
Japanese veteran producer Kaoru Inoue presents a visionary collection that transcends conventional electronic boundaries, weaving together world music traditions, field recordings, and ambient exploration into a singular artistic statement. Originally released exclusively in Japan in 2013, this timeless work finally receives the international recognition it deserves. Kaoru Inoue has been quietly developing his unique aesthetic since the late 90s through his own Seeds and Ground imprint and colla…
