Reissues
Crystal Silence
2025 stock Crystal Silence A cornerstone of ECM’s legendary catalog, Passengers unites vibraphonist Gary Burton with an all-star ensemble: guitarist Pat Metheny, bassist Eberhard Weber, electric bassist Steve Swallow, and drummer Dan Gottlieb. Recorded in January 1976, this album captures a moment of creative synergy and forward-thinking jazz, blending lyricism, subtle groove, and the unmistakable ECM sonic clarity.
The repertoire features original compositions from Metheny, Swallow, and Weber, …
80/81
Widely regarded as one of Pat Metheny's most inspired recordings and now considered a classic of instrumental and improvised music, *80/81* unveiled a bold new dimension of the then-26-year-old guitarist's sonic world. Released in 1980, this groundbreaking album marked Metheny's first collaboration with jazz luminaries from multiple generations, including bassist Charlie Haden, saxophonists Dewey Redman and Michael Brecker, and drummer Jack DeJohnette.
Drawing equally from the freewheeling spiri…
Recording A Tape The Colour Of The Light
*2025 stock* Erased Tapes are proud to announce the first in a series of Bell Orchestre reissues. The band’s landmark debut album Recording a Tape the Colour of the Light has been repressed on vinyl using the original masters for the first time since its original release in 2005. Formed in 1999 whilst studying in Montreal, the first music Bell Orchestre made was live scores for contemporary dance performances and puppet shows. Looking back at the band’s early years two decades later, drummer Ste…
Live
Recorded live April 12, 1980 at Gaskessel in Grauzone's hometown of Bern, Switzerland.
Western Culture
*2025 warehouse found* On vinyl, this is a reissue of the final Henry Cow record, originally released in 1979 after the group had officially disbanded. The LP features guest appearances by Irene Schweitzer and Anne-Marie Roeloffs. Following their split with Virgin, the group's history became complicated; bass player John Greaves left, and after a dispute in the recording studio, what was intended as the next Henry Cow album mutated into the Art Bears' much respected Hopes and Fears. In 1978 the …
You Think You Really Know Me
2024 repress! Gary Wilson's monumental 1977 LP reissued with the original cover art (care of Owen Maercks's well-loved copy), delicately laid out by Scott Allison. Which makes it, perhaps, the last copy you'll ever need. You Think You Really Know Me (also the title of Michael Wolk's 2005 documentary about Wilson) was Wilson's second LP, but the first he recorded as a vocalist, hewing to his own bizarre vision -- a syncretic collision of romance, new wave cocktail jazz, heartbreak, disco porn-sou…
Sonatas For Viola / Piano And Viola Alone
*2025 stock* Pianist-composer Vijay Iyer follows his 2021 ECM disc Uneasy — the first to showcase his trio featuring bassist Linda May Han Oh and drummer Tyshawn Sorey — with Compassion, another album in league with these two gifted partners. The New York Times captured the special qualities of this group, pointing to the trio’s flair for playing “with a lithe range of motion and resplendent clarity… while stoking a kind of writhing internal tension. Crucial to that balance is their ability to c…

Let Night Come On Bells End The Day
A quietly stunning meditation on sound and space, Let Night Come On Bells End The Day sees Sarah Davachi sculpting slow, luminous improvisations for Mellotron and organ. Each piece unfolds with patient restraint, revealing rich overtone complexity and a dreamlike sense of presence-minimalism at its most intimate and immersive
All My Circles Run
Sarah Davachi’s ‘All My Circles Run’ is a meditative journey through sustained drones and harmonic resonance, blending analog synths, strings, and organ into a deeply immersive ambient experience."
Adulterio All'Italiana
Directed by Pasquale Festa Campanile, Adulterio all’italiana (Adultery Italian Style) is a biting comedy that targets bourgeois hypocrisy and the paradoxes of marriage in 1960s Italian society. Starring Ugo Tognazzi and Catherine Spaak, the film follows a couple in the midst of a full-blown marital crisis, navigating infidelity, subtle acts of revenge, and a battle of the sexes portrayed with intelligence and irony. Adding rhythm and color to this emotional battleground is Armando Trovajoli, who…
Il Faro In Capo Al Mondo
“Il faro in capo al mondo” (The Light at the Edge of the World) is a 1971 film directed by Kevin Billington, based on a novel by Jules Verne. It’s a dark, solitary adventure set on a remote island off Cape Horn, where a group of pirates led by the ruthless Jonathan Kongre (played by Yul Brynner) takes over a lighthouse to cause shipwrecks and plunder the remains. Kirk Douglas stars as the last surviving lighthouse keeper, caught in a grueling battle between man and nature, civilization and savag…
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly/Il Buono, Il Brutto E Il Cattivo
Directed by Sergio Leone, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” is the final chapter in the legendary “Dollars Trilogy” and one of the most iconic films in cinema history. Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach form an unforgettable triangle set against the backdrop of a grim, dusty, and almost surreal American Civil War. The film is epic, lyrical, and grotesque all at once—but what elevates it to true legend is the immortal soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. The legendary main theme is one of th…
7 Volte 7
The film 7 Times 7, directed by Michele Lupo in 1968, is a brilliant comedy with heist movie overtones, crafted in a very British style but with a strong Italian identity. The international cast (including Gastone Moschin, Lionel Stander, and Raimondo Vianello) plays a group of inmates who break out of prison solely to rob the Bank of England... and then comfortably return to their cells, using prison as the perfect alibi. In this lighthearted and clever setting, the soundtrack by Armando Trovaj…
Jugoton Bossa Nova! - Brazilian Wave In Yugoslavia 1963-1983
Rich musical history of Yugoslavia reveals a long-lasting love for the music of Latin America.
YU Disco Expres
A long-lost masterpiece of Yugoslavian jazz-funk and disco finally returns! Originally released in 1979 on the iconic Jugoton label, YU Disko Expres by Igor Savin and Orkestar Stanka Selaka is a rare gem—an electrifying fusion of jazz, funk, electronic music, and traditional folk elements. Decades ahead of its time, this album remains a strikingly modern and danceable exploration of sound, seamlessly blending synthesizers with tight horn arrangements and deep, infectious grooves.
Igor Savin, one…
Franco Luambo Makiadi Presents Les Editions Populaires
"Indépendance Cha Cha” was an historic song, not only because it immortalized Congo’s independence in its lyrics, but also because it was the first single published by a Congolese-owned record label. Joseph Kabasele’s label Surboum African Jazz indeed paved the way for several Congolese musicians to become record publishers. It resulted in the 1960s in a plethora of newly found Kinshasa-based record labels, run by the biggest musicians of the time. With this new series “Les éditeurs congolais”, …
African Jazz Invites O.K. Jazz
The evolution of Congolese popular music in the 1960s and 70s is generally classified into two major schools: African Jazz & OK Jazz. The main representatives of those schools are Joseph Kabasele alias Grand Kallé, founder of African Jazz, and Franco Luambo, co-founder of O.K. Jazz. Two temperaments and ambiances, one commonly referred to as ‘fiesta’, the other as ‘odemba’, both seeking their own sublimity or ideal.
For the very first time, a compilation brings together explicitly the main prota…
Where Are We Going
*200 copies limited edition* After Mirthrandir, Lift and Easter Island, we continue bringing you the cream of the crop from U.S. Prog Classics, with the reissue of ID’s 1977 album Where Are We Going. In this case, you can guess the music from the band’s name, a regression into the depths of the unconscious (Freud’s antecedent term for ID in the structure of the cunning invention called ‘psyche’) via an interminable sonic evocation. The highlights of the album are the 2 long parts of the homonymo…

Forming Haze [Recordings 1985/86]
"The Crippled Flower was a post-punk band from Düsseldorf - and they arrived late. However, unlike many young, unsuspecting, hairsprayed hopefuls from that time, in 1985 they could sense that the end of their era was approaching. They knew too much to want to take the world by storm. They were four individualists searching their own way. Each of the band members only found their calling after the time that they had spent together – but that's exactly what makes The Crippled Flower still seem rea…
