Reissues
Della Morte dell'Amore
Della Morte dell'Amore composed by Manuel De Sica, embodies a complex fusion of brooding electronics, subtle jazz, and gothic undertones, reflecting the film's darkly comic narrative. Spanning 34 tracks, the album stands out for its evocative mood shifts and meticulous attention to emotional detail. Limited purple vinyl edition of 500.
Il Medico della Mutua
Limited transparent yellow vinyl edition of 500. l Medico della Mutua, composed by Piero Piccioni in 1968, delivers a brilliant soundtrack that fuses jazz, easy listening, and orchestral flourishes, mirroring the satirical verve of the film. Themes shift from playful marches to sultry tangos, amplifying both the absurdity and energy of the Italian medical system’s cinematic parody.
La Matriarca
The soundtrack of “La Matriarca” is one of the finest examples of 1960s Italian musical comedy — ironic, sensual, and perfectly tailored to Catherine Spaak’s character. Trovajoli succeeds, like few others, in giving voice to the contradictions of an era through music — an Italy discovering freedom, yet with an ironic smile on its lips. Limited transparent Magenta Vinyl edition of 500.
Thailand's Golden Sounds
Baa Records’ Thailand's Golden Sounds (80's Synth-Pop & Disco) is a vibrant compilation spotlighting the evolution of Thai pop as synthesized textures and disco grooves emerged from Bangkok’s Golden Sound studios. With a focus on overlooked 1980s gems, these tracks fuse local melodic sensibilities with Western production tricks, capturing a unique and danceable era both nostalgic and unexpectedly forward-looking.
Music for a While
Michaela Melián’s Music for a While is an immersive, genre-blurring debut that fuses ambient techno currents with classical elements and subtle pop inflections. Drawing on a palette of cellos, guitars, and synthetic textures, Melián crafts extended atmospheric meditations whose compositional wit never dilutes their approachable warmth, producing a record both refined and strangely inviting, nestled between art installation and intricate electronic composition.
Tokyo Funk Diva 1981 - 1988
Hitomi ‘Penny’ Tohyama’s Tokyo Funk Diva 1981-1988 introduces international audiences to one of Japan’s most charismatic exponents of funk and boogie. This capsule compilation, curated and newly remastered, captures her innovative blend of soulful vocals and sleek '80s production from a catalogue that shaped Tokyo’s underground dance music scene.
Philip Glass: The Complete Piano Etudes
Vanessa Wagner breathes new life into Philip Glass: The Complete Piano Etudes, revealing the powerful lyricism and subtle turbulence of Glass’s minimalist language. Her interpretation brings emotional intensity and poetic nuance across all 20 etudes, reflecting over a decade spent exploring the repertoire and making for an immersive listening experience.
Journey to the Ancient
Yusuf Mumin's Journey To The Ancient is an archival treasure from a pivotal figure of the 1960s Cleveland free jazz scene. Drawing from previously unheard recordings preserved in his private collection, the album combines spiritual jazz’s expressive depth with experimental intensity. Featuring Mumin's multi-instrumental performance alongside percussionist William Holmes, it conveys a journey through esoteric, Afro-spiritual soundscapes with moments of serene calm and fiery bursts that reflect Mu…
An Hour for Piano
Edition of 80. Written in 1971, Tom Johnson's An Hour for Piano stands as a landmark of American minimalism, born from improvisatory sketches Johnson created in 1967 while accompanying a modern dance class at New York University. Johnson gradually expanded these sketches, creating a composition designed to be performed in exactly one hour at an absolutely steady tempo of quarter note = 59.225 beats per minute. Deceptively simple in its construction, An Hour for Piano comprises six basic textures…
Kielholen
Herpes Ö DeLuxe’s Kielholen dives headfirst into the murky waters of industrial decadence. With Hinterzimmer as its unsettling core, the record dissects German cold wave through rusted machinery and post-human irony, a claustrophobic yet hypnotic experience simmering between performance art and corrosion.
Definitely What! (LP)
A bold statement in jazz, rock, and soul fusion, Definitely What! finds Brian Auger & The Trinity crafting intricate grooves with magnetic energy. Hammond organ brilliance, inventive arrangements, and fearless experimentation make this album a compelling testament to the group’s genre‑defying spirit and enduring creative fire.
Another Perfect Day
Eight years since his last solo electric guitar record. Bill Orcutt returns to what made his playing essential: slashing chords, frenzied double-picking, angular runs that climb and ricochet. Recorded live at Cafe OTO. No computer loops. No gentle melodic glow. Just Orcutt and his four-string Fender through a tattered Twin Reverb.
Animal Magnetism
*Limited Edition of 99 copies. Purple vinyl * Masami Akita has been making noise since before most people understood noise could be made on purpose, and Animal Magnetism is what happens when forty years of sonic terrorism suddenly decides to sit you down and explain itself without raising its voice. Originally released on CD in 2003, this double LP reissue—remastered by Lasse Marhaug and pressed on black or purple vinyl in a gatefold sleeve featuring Akita's own photographs—adds a previously unr…
Tacones Lejanos (Original Soundtrack)
Framed by Almodóvar’s saturated, performative world, Ryuichi Sakamoto’s score for Tacones Lejanos (High Heels), newly reissued by Quartet Records, layers melancholy minimalism and luminous melodrama, offering ornament rather than excess, with bolero and chanson threading through Sakamoto’s reflective atmospheres. The soundtrack’s architecture is subtle, emotionally surgical, quietly powerful in its dialogue with Luz Casal’s iconic voice.
Voiceless Mass
Deluxe 2LP Three-sided with etched artwork on Side 4. Raven Chacon begins by listening. The Diné composer, born in Fort Defiance, Arizona within the Navajo Nation in 1977, describes himself simply as a listener, but the attention he gives to sound encompasses far more than what's immediately audible—it includes what has been deliberately silenced. Yucca Alta Records now presents the first vinyl edition of Voiceless Mass, a three-sided double LP featuring Chacon's 2022 Pulitzer Prize-winning titl…
Home Demo Tracks
"Home Demo Tracks" by Muslimgauze is a collection of eight tracks with a total duration of about 47 minutes, featuring a distinctive blend of ambient electronics and polyrhythmic drumming. The album captures the raw and experimental essence of Muslimgauze's sound, characterized by visceral percussion, diverse voices, and sound effects. It reflects the artist's unique position in underground, experimental, and industrial music circles, continuing the innovative and atmospheric style that defines …
Turn On Arabic American Radio
The relationship between Bryn Jones's music as Muslimgauze and the track/album titles he would provide (sometimes right on the tapes he would send in for release, but often determined later, sometimes even giving two different pieces months apart the same title, accidentally or not) has always been a little mysterious. Jones himself can no longer be asked, and as you continue to investigate the swathes of material he provided, you hit sources like the DAT or DATs that make up the contents of the…
Sycophant Of Purdah
Part of Staalplaat’s ongoing Muslimgauze archive series, Sycophant of Purdah was submitted in 1994 then “replaced” by another master Bryn Jones felt more fit for release. Sycophant then languished in the vaults until present, nearly a decade after Jones’ passing. It is no secret that Jones was a prolific artist and that numerous labels combined could not keep up with his output and will take several more years more for them to do so.
Sycophant opens with a radio broadcast on the on-going Palesti…
Kashmiri Queens
"Kashmiri Queens" presents a more accessible side of Muslimgauze, featuring a faster tempo and fewer sonic overtones than his previous endeavors. The music's core is rooted in drone and raga samples complemented by a rich array of ethnic percussions. All the standard Muslimgauze elements present here, but this release sees a more steady approach to his sound. Far less of the abrupt cutting in and out he had favoured for a good while, and more of a concentrated approach to the music. He lets the …
Souk Bou Saada
Another Muslimgauze discovery in Staalplaat's reissue series, with eight rare tracks from the mind of Bryn Jones. Hefty slabs of beefy beats are seasoned with spicy South Asian melodies while mouth numbingly hot bass lines are smothered in distortion chutney; Souk Bou Saada was broiled in Machester's finest tandoor and is now served by Staalplaat. If you love East Indian flavors with a neo-bhangra beat, this disc will not disappoint, equally at home on the dancefloors of Bradistan, UK or Mumbai,…
