Reissues
Steel Wound
Twenty years after its original release, Ben Frost's "Steel Wound" returns as a testament to isolation transformed into transcendence. Born from solitude at a derelict cabin on Australia's windswept coast, this masterpiece of textural guitar manipulation still sounds like a transmission from another world—one where beauty emerges from the marriage of abandonment and obsession.
Untilted
Autechre, the pioneering British electronic duo of Sean Booth and Rob Brown, continues their illustrious catalogue of reissues with the long-awaited return of “Untilted” (originally released 2005) as a deluxe 2LP set via Warp Records. Out of print for more than 15 years, “Untilted” re-emerges as a crucial touchstone in the ever-unfolding journey of experimental electronica.
Marked by eight monumental tracks, “Untilted” found Autechre pushing their sound to its most uncompromising and abstract: t…
Inventions
Thumbing through the back pages of German electronic music, Bureau B uncovers another hidden gem from the Sky Records archive: 'Inventions', the 1983 collaboration between Adelbert von Deyen and Dieter Schütz. Fusing expansive kosmische textures with biting rock guitars, motorik rhythms, and the growl of '80s synth-pop, the duo conjure a sonic singularity which still sounds like the future today. Compact yet cosmic, 'Inventions' distils ambient drift and experimental edge into taut, three-minute…
Voyage
Bureau B once again dive into the Sky archive, unearthing another overlooked masterpiece long due for rediscovery. Originally released in 1985, 'Voyage' finds Dieter Schütz venturing beyond his Berlin School roots into a realm of lo-fi immediacy and New Age naivety. Every instrument is played by Schütz himself, except for the drums on "Above", which are performed with syncopated zeal by Michael Fecker. While its textured synthscapes and wistful melodies may echo the aesthetics of 2010s Vaporwave…
Ich Suche Dein Gesicht
Berlin-based project Silberstreif announces the release of their new album Ich suche dein Gesicht, available now on Bandcamp. With a name that translates to “silver lining,” Silberstreif crafts music that reflects both fragility and resilience, weaving together textures of ambient, electronic, and experimental sound.
Ich suche dein Gesicht (“I am searching for your face”) is more than an album: it is a sonic exploration of intimacy, distance, and the fleeting nature of human connection. Across…
The Ancients
Bomb! The debut recording by The Ancients, the intergenerational coalition of Isaiah Collier, William Hooker and William Parker formed by Parker to play concerts in conjunction with the Milford Graves' “A Mind-Body Deal” exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and now a working group. Across 2LPs of side-length long-form improvised sets recorded at 2220 Arts & Archives in LA and The Chapel in San Francisco, The Ancients bring the free jazz trio languages first explored by t…
Fudo
Introducing "Fudo," the acclaimed album by the avant-garde duo Mapa, now available in a specially remastered vinyl edition. "Fudo" stands as a pivotal work in the landscape of experimental electronic music, blending elements of punk energy, jazz improvisation, and electro-acoustic soundscapes to create a deeply evocative sonic journey.
Originally released to instant underground acclaim, "Fudo" is the fruit of the creative partnership between Paul Wirkus and Marcin Dymiter. The album delivers a d…
I'm The Only One Around
*2025 stock* For over 50 years, Kan Mikami has stood as a master of the Japanese blues and outsider folk. His unmistakable, powerfully evocative voice and surrealistic poetry reveal a gritty, transgressive life on the margins shot through with evocations of sex and violence, religion and romance. Released in 1991, I’m the Only One Around was Mikami's first album with Tokyo's legendary P.S.F. Records and heralded an artistic renaissance. It marked the beginning of an incredibly productive and wil…
Caetano Veloso
Originally released in 1968, Caetano Veloso's debut album did for Brazilian music what the Beatles' Sgt. Peppers did for rock & roll, giving birth to the soon-to-be Tropicalia movement, which fused Brazilian music with pop, psychedelia and social awareness (and Veloso's leftist politics actually earned him a stint in jail in 1968 for 'anti-government activity'). Veloso, nonetheless went on to become one of the most popular and influential Brazilian musicians of all time. Includes the genre-defin…
7 O'clock in Tokyo
Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the release of Akiko Yano's cult 1979 album 7 O'Clock in Tokyo, recorded live in September 1978 at a pivotal moment in Japanese music history, just as Yellow Magic Orchestra was about to take the world by storm (Yano would tour the world with the group in 1979). Featuring a very funky Yano performance accompanied by Haruomi Hosono, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Yukihiro Takahashi, plus Tatsuro Yamashita and Minako Yoshida, the album is presented outside Japan for the…
Drumfusion
Jazz drumming legend Chico Hamilton fundamentally reimagined his sound in 1961, assembling a groundbreaking quintet that would define a new chapter in modern jazz. WaxTime now presents "Drumfusion", the inaugural album from this revolutionary lineup, in a limited edition 180g audiophile pressing with rare bonus material.
Hamilton's revamped group featured future stars Charles Lloyd on tenor saxophone, Gábor Szabó on guitar, Garnett Brown (later replaced by George Bohanon) on trombone, and Albert…
Vox Flora, Vox Fauna
“Vox Flora Vox Fauna” is an invocation in which Ece Canli channels the voice of Earth itself. A ritual of breath, rebirth, bone, and buried memory. Like the most transcendent moments of Dead Can Dance, the soundscapes are primitive, tribal, atmospheric, and utterly cathartic: echoes of a wounded planet, mourning and resisting at once. They unleash the raw force of Gaia, vibrating through ancient rhythms and spectral chants that seem to rise from the soil itself. In an age of collapse, this is mu…
Spirits Rejoice!
Released in 1978- now re-issued for the first time, the 2nd album from South African jazz/fusion power house, Spirits Rejoice.
Uzed
Uzed is the fourth album by Belgian band Univers Zero. It was released three years after 'Ceux du Dehors', due to a change in line-up and a new repertoire, although the EP 'Crawling Wind' had been released in the meantime. The album marked a turning point for the band. Univers Zero explored new electric colors, giving it a more rock feel with the addition of new musicians such as Jean-Luc Plouvier, who introduced the synthesizer, guitarist Michel Delory, who played a memorable solo in 'Célesta (…
U-Boot 319
U-Boot 319's complete discography - a collection that captured one of Italy's most unique post-punk experiments from the 1980s and '90s. The Marchigian band from Fossombrone (Pesaro-Urbino province) represented an almost singular phenomenon in the Italian post-punk scene: a group that merged new wave with Weimar-era aesthetics, drawing declared inspiration from Kurt Weill's compositions and Bertolt Brecht's theater. Despite forming officially in 1981 and remaining active until 1994, U-Boot 319 n…
Overlander
2025 stock. Comes with four page, 12" square insert containing liner notes, lyrics and songwriting credits. The haunting voice that would later grace Fairport Convention, Fotheringay, and Election emerges in pristine clarity on "Overlander", Trevor Lucas' long-lost 1966 solo debut, now receiving its first official reissue through Earth Recordings.
This Australian-born folk legend's earliest statement captures him at his most intimate – weaving original compositions with carefully chosen covers i…
Ljus Från Afrika
In 1976, Swedish progressive folk-rock band Kebnekaise released their most audacious statement: Ljus från Afrika (Light from Africa), an album that traded their familiar Nordic melodies for an entirely African repertoire. What could have been cultural appropriation instead became something more nuanced—a document of genuine musical exchange that emerged from years of collaboration and friendship. The album's genesis lies in the band's relationship with Hassan Bah, a percussionist from Guinea-Con…
Faust
Few debut albums arrive with the kind of self-contained logic and radical spirit found on Faust's self-titled 1971 statement. Released at the height of rock music's imperial phase, it marked the beginning of a project that would sidestep genre and expectation entirely, offering instead a fractured, exploratory take on what popular music could become. This Bureau B reissue offers a fresh opportunity to engage with one of the most curious and uncompromising records of its time. Faust emerged from …

Didi
From the introspective "Mojo uno", Gelbard's solo piece on Moog, to the wild "Alevacolariea", featuring the prolific Uruguayan Rubén Rada, Gelbard's solo album offers no chance to remain indifferent.
