L'uccello dalle piume di cristallo
* Black vinyl edition. Gatefold cover * Dario Argento’s opera prima ‘L’uccello dalle piume di cristallo’ was premiered in 1970 and marked an historical and revolutionary debut, being a truly original and innovative thriller. The stylistic choices of Argento mark a clear step forward from the thrillers of that era and even the soundtrack was something utterly special.Argento assigned the score to Ennio Morricone, composer of the soundtracks for ‘Comandamenti per un gangster’, ‘C’era una volta il …
4 Mosche di Velluto Grigio
Manic percussion, tense staccato strings, discordant piano riffs, and jazz-rock motifs – this is Il Maestro at his finest. 4 Mosche di Velluto Grigio (4 Flies on Grey Velvet) is the third and final part of Dario Argento's world famous cult, terror trilogy. Fear, according to Dario Argento, is hidden behind metaphorical, animal symbols that mirror degenerative urban decay, in other words a kind of mental zoo. Birds with crystal plumage, cats with nine tails, grey velvet flies, enough species to t…
Evil Season
2025 repress The bass, that metronome that marks the time for musicians of every style, of every era, that secluded, silent, but essential character for a band. Without the bass, the music would be deflated, the heart notes would leave a wasteland of rowdy high frequencies without any rules. But bass players who have character can elevate those low frequencies and even make them loud at times. Who knows if free jazz, if we want to call it that, is exalted by the Arabic background, those semitone…
Polygamy
*2025 repress* On the course of our deep research, we sometimes discover a hidden thread that unites musicians, songwriters, artists, and poets linked by music. Mustafa's 'Polygamy' is no exception. Apart from the music - the main reason we decided to work on this first ever re-press, a jewel at the crossroads between jazz funk, spiritual jazz and proto rap - are the many other things that make Mustafa an intriguing and fascinating character. For starters, he was a childhood friend of the Ayler …
Swing Ensemble
*2025 repress* Did someone say Summer? Sicily is what Cuba is to the Caribbean, sun, sea, easy and friendly people with lots of troubles! You won't find anything better around that identifies the summer more than this album by Enzo Randisi who at the beginning of the 80s put together a Swing Ensemble as a tribute to that "cheerful" movement of Jazz music.
But Enzo and his fellas just couldn't stay on track and put in the best that the alternative Palermo area could offer in that historical perio…
Enzo Randisi
“It was an extraordinary experience to have shared my music with Enzo Randisi’s orchestra, a rare ensemble capable of interpreting and expressing the idiom of jazz with uncommon strength and sensitivity” - Eumir Deodato
Near And Far East
*2025 repress* Made with the intention of exploring and experiencing the various musical and cultural perspectives of a territory as vast as that of Persia, "Near And Far East" is a significant historical document that transcends the restrictive concept of territory but rather inhabits a space of absolute time. The album's content is not just window into faraway places, but a leap into the times and cultures that have now been swallowed up by the incessant movement of globalization and capitalis…
Christening for Listening
*2025 reissue* Generally regarded as the first true 'new age' record, Steve Halpern's 1975 private press LP has long been in demand by collectors. In particular, the very first pressing of the album included an extraordinary long-form jazz funk track called 'Something for Every Body Suite' that was removed from subsequent versions. Eating Standing is proud to reissue Halpern's classic long-lost original version of the album, officially licensed from Halpern himself that includes this heavy groov…
Chris McGregor's Brotherhood Of Breath
*2025 reissue* Chris McGregor and his Brotherhood of Breath unleash one of the most essential big band recordings ever committed to vinyl! This is the real deal - South African freedom music meeting British free jazz intensity in an absolute explosion of sound and spirit. Recorded in 1971, this debut captures McGregor's revolutionary vision at its most raw and uncompromising - traditional African rhythms colliding with free jazz ferocity in ways that still sound shocking today.
The lineup reads …
New Age Of Earth
Comes in mini LP replica with OBI & Japanese insert. With his first solo album, which was originally released in 1974, Manuel Gottsching (Ash Ra Tempel) laid the foundation for many other upcoming works. In fact, the guitar was invented here, for his play on the three epic tracks are years ahead of its time: Circular, flat, layered loops and improvisations create a compelling, hypnotic atmosphere and make this album in retrospect a landmark of new guitar culture. The album was completely remaste…

A Shape Of Time / Strands III / Duo / Still Life
This 1983 collection on ALM compiles what is generally considered to be one of Jo Kondō's last linear pieces - "A Shape Of Time" - which he describes as a "duo" for piano and orchestra. The classification is appropriate since the overall concept is focused on basic dynamic arc applied to individual pitches or sound-blocks. In this way each of the individual 'linear' sound-events is started out by the group of orchestral instruments which play crescendo part of the dynamic shape - piano to mezzo …
Mr. Bloomfield, His Spacing = ブルームフィールド氏の間化
A masterpiece album released in 1976 by the Japanese contemporary musician Yuzuru Kondo, whose main contributions to the sombre labyrinths of post-1960s musical modernism is something that the composer conceptualised as 'linear music' (or line and shadow as "Sen no ongaku' is sometimes translated). Then there's beautiful piano solo puzzle "Sight Rhythmics" that's a bit like Messiaen's total serialist one-off “Mode de valeurs et d'intensités". Plus semi-concrète essay "Summer Days" where muffled…
Frequency Equilibrium Koan

Equilibrium • a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced: a calm state of mind. Koan • a paradoxical anecdote or riddle, used in Zen Buddhism to demonstrate the inadequacy of logical reasoning and to provoke enlightenment. Many, many, years ago in a once enchanted place they called The Big Apple, New Yor…
