The Second Coming
180 Gram Vinyl - Limited Edition Lenticular Cover. Silver-Tongued Colored Viny. California, 1972. While Anton LaVey held court at his Black House in San Francisco, issuing pronouncements and recording The Satanic Mass for a growing cult of devotees, a more obscure ceremony was being committed to tape somewhere in Los Angeles. No press releases. No magazine profiles. No celebrity weddings or baptisms for the cameras. Just a man named Robert Jamra, an unknown organist, and a series of rituals so b…
Exorcism! Woman, Thy Name Is Satan
2nd Edition. Black vinyl. Somewhere in America, early 1960s. A tape recorder captures what no congregation was meant to hear. The voices of women possessed - or believed to be possessed - struggling against demons real or imagined while priests perform the ancient rite of exorcism. Screams. Prayers. Commands in Latin. The grinding friction between the sacred and the profane, committed to magnetic tape and then buried for decades. Before The Exorcist made demonic possession a cultural phenomenon,…

Songs & Prayers From The Izaiho Ritual, Kudaka Island
* Includes a 28-page booklet with liner notes by Senri Miyazato in Japanese and English (English translation by Linda Havenstein) * Historical recording of the sacred Izaiho ritual, an inauguration ceremony of female priests held once in twelve years in Kudaka island, which is located approximately five kilometers east west from the Okinawa island. Izaiho ended in 1978 due to a lack of successors, and this is a recording of the final ritual.
The Chairman
"This masterful score fuses Western orchestration with ancient Eastern influences, creating a soundscape as tense and intricate as the film’s Cold War espionage. Bold, innovative, and rich in cultural texture, it remains a striking testament to Goldsmith's fearless approach to film music. " "In 1969, as Cold War tensions simmered, Jerry Goldsmith composed the score for 'The Chairman', a spy thriller starring Gregory Peck. Known for his genre-spanning versatility, Goldsmith had already impressed …
For the Birds
Edition of 250. Deluxe edition + insert. For eighteen months, between 1984 and 1985, Patrick Lysaght played flute, strings, and percussion inside the Rainforest Birdhouse at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His audience and collaborators: 150 birds of 42 species. The result is one of the earliest and most radical documents of interspecies improvisation. Predating the current wave of sound ecology by decades, For The Birds sits comfortably alongside the biophonic research of Bernie …
Things We Lost In The Fire
On Things We Lost in the Fire, Low stretch slowcore until it glows, binding hushed harmonies, sudden noise and fragile lullabies into one prolonged reckoning with love, faith and mortality. What began as an “anti-rock” trio here becomes a devastatingly direct pop group, without sacrificing an inch of quiet intensity.
El-Hadra - The Mystik Dance
*100 copies limited edition* El-Hadra is more than ambient music - it’s a sonic ritual that leaves a permanent mark on the soul. This album has transformed the way many perceive sound, becoming a personal landmark for countless listeners. Originally recorded in the late 1980s, it fuses elements of Sufi trance with hypnotic tabla rhythms, meditative zither, and deep ambient drone to form a truly transcendent experience. Listening to El-Hadra is like entering a space beyond time - a journey one ca…

Shaman
Ruins Of Xibalba (Sydney, AUS) bring avant-garde ritual dark ambient from down under. Deep within the past, the roots of "Shaman" branch into our world. Bent Window is proud to present this elegant and mystifying release in cassette format... “Shaman is an album that challenges the lives of those who have lost touch with their roots, their existence marred by false beliefs and misconceptions. Shamanism is a gift to humanity, the sole path to truly understanding nature, accessing profound emotion…
Mode For Joe
Joe Henderson's 1966 Blue Note septet album, recorded January 27, 1966, with Lee Morgan, Curtis Fuller, Bobby Hutcherson, Cedar Walton, Ron Carter and Joe Chambers.
Sabata - Ehi amico... c'è Sabata, Hai Chiuso! (LP, Transparent Red + CD)
Limited edition numbered to 500 copies. Transparent red vinyl format / 180 grams + CD. Lee Van Cleef had already defined the archetype twice over: once as the cold-eyed Angel Eyes in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, once as the elegant Colonel Mortimer in For a Few Dollars More. But Gianfranco Parolini saw something else in that gaunt, reptilian face. Not a villain. Not a gentleman bounty hunter. Something slipperier. A con man with a rifle. A blackmailer in black. A gunfighter who'd rather outsm…
Gli Intoccabili
2xLP Transparent Magenta 180gr + CD | Limited Numbered Edition of 500 copies. April 1969. On screens across Europe, a film opens that looks like an American crime picture but feels like something else entirely. Giuliano Montaldo, the Italian director who would later give us Sacco e Vanzetti and Giordano Bruno, has crossed the Atlantic to shoot a heist thriller in San Francisco and Las Vegas. The cast reads like an inventory of New Hollywood royalty: John Cassavetes, fresh from Rosemary's Baby, a…
I Lunghi Giorni Della Vendetta
Armando Trovajoli was not a western man. By 1967 he had two decades of work behind him - jazz, sophisticated comedies, orchestral scores for Vittorio De Sica. He knew how to make audiences laugh, how to make them cry, how to write for big bands and strings alike. But dust, horses, guns? That was Morricone territory, Bacalov, Nicolai. Yet when Florestano Vancini called him to score his only foray into the genre, Trovajoli responded with something no one expected. I Lunghi Giorni Della Vendetta do…
Stoned Guitar
Recorded in the spring of 1970, this legendary album shows why many consider The Human Instinct to be the finest psychedelic rock band ever to emerge from New Zealand. Led by drummer-vocalist Maurice Greer and featuring the guitar pyrotechnics of the legendary Billy Te Kahika, Stoned Guitar has long been established as a classic hard psychedelic rock album.
Parallelograms
Combining fragile and beautifully melodic acid folk with perfectly-rendered electronic effects, this remarkable album consists of what its creator describes as ‘visual music’. First released in 1970, it has gone on to become one of the most legendary and well-loved recordings of its time. It’s presented here with the full collaboration of its enigmatic creator.
Raw Material
The 1970 debut by this London-based quintet, originally released on the small Evolution label and now a sought-after grail of British proto-prog. One of the earliest documents of progressive rock in the making - raw, unpolished, absolutely essential. Raw Material emerged from the late-sixties London underground: Colin Catt on keyboards and vocals, Dave Green on guitar, Phil Gunn on bass, Paul Young on drums, and Mick Fletcher on saxophone, flute and harmonica. The group had its roots in R&B jam …
Doo Dah Nean
A bizarrely entrancing jewel from the depths of the Japanese underground, Doo Dah Nean was originally released in small run of hand assembled cassettes by the La Musica label in the late 90’s. The album is the sole release and evidence of Nean, an entirely under-the-radar trio that crossed the sensual, disassociated female vocals of Japanese iroke kayōkyoku music with off-balance shamanic rhythm and echoing electronic rumble. Nean were the trio of Yui on bass and electronics, Naoko on voice, and…
M
A collection of intimate songs traced from the spectral darkness by Asahito Nanjo, the notorious leader of some of Japan’s key underground psychedelic units (High Rise, Mainliner, Musica Transonic, Toho Sara, etc) Recorded between 1980 and 1988 and previously only available in a cassette micro-edition released by his La Musica Records label in the mid-1990’s. Remastered and available for the first time on vinyl and digital. “A compilation of secret projects recorded over a period of twenty years…
Selections from the Mozaik Archive
*250 copies limited edition* Mozaik began its journey under the oppressive aura of the 1980 coup in Turkey, singing songs of freedom from all around the world, eventually stepping into the more controversial areas of jazz, progressive rock and fusion with their own compositions. Whilst the post-coup music scene was dominated by apolitical pop music, Mozaik produced sophisticated lyrics and composed songs in unusual structures. With a dynamic crew and a rotating list of songwriters in the band, M…
Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viuva Da Liberdade
"Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viuva Da Liberdade" is one of the most important records ever made in Angola. An hypnotic masterpiece that blends Central African rhythms and Semba with soulful guitar and percussion. Originally released on CDA with Conjunto Merengue, it captured Zé at his creative peak. Sung in Portuguese and local dialects, the songs balance rhythmic elegance with deep political weight, tracing ties to Afro-Brazilian and Latin American musical traditions. After Zé’s assassination in 1977, the …
1981
Superb and underrated early '80s jazz fusion album showcasing authentic Brazilian grooves by one of the country's most famous flutists and saxophonists. Originally released by Som Da Gente, 1981 is a grooving fusion of baião rhythms, jazz funk, and Brazilian soul. Featuring his Gallery club band, Costita soars on sax, flute, and clarone, backed by Roberto Bomilcar and Dirceu. Recorded with full creative freedom, this rare LP captures the free spirit of Brazil's '70s & '80s jazz scene. Hector Cos…
Spielt Noise Boys
Swiss music legend Stephan Eicher returns with a bold and intimate new album, Spielt Noise Boys, released via Born Bad Records. Known for his poetic songwriting, distinctive voice, and genre-blurring artistry, Eicher here reimagines the sound of his early band Noise Boys in a stripped-down, emotionally resonant solo setting. Spielt Noise Boys is not a simple “best of” or nostalgia trip. Instead, Eicher revisits the raw energy and DIY spirit of his formative years, reworking classic Noise Boys tr…
Eclipse
Recorded in 1973, Eclipse was intended as Jade Warrior's fourth Vertigo release but was shelved before pressing, circulating only as rare test pressings. Restored with the band's original running order and period artwork, this is top notch British progressive rock, blending delicate acoustic passages with bursts of heavy-rock intensity, African, and Middle Eastern rhythms. The missing link between Last Autumn's Dream and their later Island-era sound. Sourced and remastered from the original mast…
Hold Your Fire
Rising from the ashes of Timebox, Patto delivered a bold fusion of progressive rock, jazz, and blues powered by Mike Patto's soulful vocals and Ollie Halsall's stunning guitar work. Their second album, Hold Your Fire (1971), originally on Vertigo, is a true gem of early '70s progressive rock. Comes with original artwork in gimmix gatefold sleeve. Remastered by Prof. Stoned. Includes insert with detailed liner notes by Ralph Heibutzki and rare photos/memorabilia.
Patto
Formed in London in 1970, Patto evolved from the legendary Timebox and were known for their unique mix of progressive rock, jazz, blues, and their exceptional musicianship. Featuring Mike Patto, Ollie Halsall (one of rock's great "guitarist's guitarists"), Clive Griffiths, and John Halsey, this is their 1970 debut for Vertigo. Comes in original gatefold artwork in textured sleeve. Features stereo mixes and mastering by Prof. Stoned. Includes insert with detailed liner notes by Ralph Heibutzki an…
Convex
LP version. Convex is one of a series of LPs that Schnitzler released himself in the 1980s. It is one of his LPs that convey virtually no visible information. Only the title is printed in large letters on the cover of Convex, and in tiny letters that are easy to overlook, it says: "Cover Conrad und Richard." The labels on the original LP indicate that one side is called "Convex" and the other "Concav." That's all the information there is."On Convex, as on many of his other albums, Schnitzler def…

Control
LP version. "Control was created during a phase of Schnitzler's work in which his friendship with Peter Baumann (formerly of Tangerine Dream) allowed him to try out and use new electronic sound generators and peripheral technologies. He never used these innovations merely for their own sake, but always put them at the service of his artistic flair for experimentation. His signature style is clearly recognizable on Control. The album seems to be a kind of compilation of different musical approach…
Silberland Vol 3: The Ambient Side Of Kosmische Musik (1972–1986)
On their last trip to Silberland, hurtled along the chrome highways and glass skyways of the kosmische landscape, powered ever onwards in perpetual motorik motion. This time, however, the Hamburg imprint opt for an unhurried itinerary, coasting far beyond the familiar rhythmic terrain to immerse listeners in the ambient side of this alternative Allemagne. Building on the tape loops, tone poems, and minimalist compositions of the '60s avant-garde, these musicians utilized the sweeping scope of th…
Club Moral 1981 - 1986
In the 1980s, this controversial collective shook up the Belgian art world with noise concerts, performances, unusual exhibitions and the "cultural battlezine" Force Mental - proposing a quite different view on art as known by the cultural establishment. Club Moral was founded by visual artist Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven (AMVK) and performance artist Danny Devos (DDV) in Antwerp on January 1st, 1981. For over a decade it functioned simultaneously as venue, noise band, publishing house, and lightning…

** Tape. Digital download included. ** Hospital Productions has finally reissued the classic G.R. by Deathpile, the true crime album that stands as one of power electronics' most uncompromising and psychologically penetrating works. Originally initiated during the hunt for the Green River Killer and completed after the capture of Gary Ridgway, this album represents a singular achievement in the intersection of criminal psychology and extreme electronic music. This regular edition on black vinyl …
A New Conception
After releasing two astonishing albums of original material with his remarkable debut Fuchsia Swing Song (1964) and the follow-up Contours (1965), multi-instrumentalist Sam Rivers went another direction on his third Blue Note album A New Conception (1966) by presenting a set of standards that were given riveting interpretations with a quartet featuring Hal Galper on piano, Herbert Lewis on bass, and Steve Ellington on drums. Despite the well-worn repertoire—including the chestnuts “When I Fall I…
1 - 7
*150 copies limited edition* Headlights Recordings presents Manuel Mota's new work 1-7. Manuel Mota is known for the personal vocabulary he has developed for the guitar. His music draws inspiration from a multitude of references loosely rooted in the blues tradition to craft a sound which was highly regarded by Derek Bailey. Actual but transmitting an enigmatic sense of timelessness. The moment of creation- composition, and the instrumental execution- playing, are to him indistinct, and that's w…
Oh Esto Y De Irvaba Cumabo / En Guantánomo
*330 copies limited edition* This two-song 7 inch release (on 45 rpm) is a teaser for the upcoming double LP album on Planet Ilunga dedicated to the Congolese band African Fiesta which was active during 1963-1965. African Fiesta was run by Roger Izeidi, Docteur Nico and Tabu Ley Rochereau. The trio not only recorded and performed but also managed the Vita label, home to every African Fiesta recording. We selected two exciting songs from the upcoming album for this elegantly designed 7 inch relea…
New Trombone
Jazz fans rejoice: Curtis Fuller's seminal debut album, New Trombone, originally released on Prestige in 1957, is back in the spotlight. At just 23 years old, the Detroit-born trombonist arrived on the scene with a fluent, innovative style that marked a bold evolution for the trombone in jazz. Backed by an all-star quintet – Sonny Red on alto sax, Hank Jones on piano, Doug Watkins on bass, and Louis Hayes on drums – Fuller delivers a powerhouse hard-bop session. The album bursts open with three …
Surge Studio Music
Spider Taylor crawls over to Dark Entries with Surge Studio Music, an album of archival gay pornographic soundtracks. James Allan Taylor was born into a working-class family in Los Angeles in 1951. Nicknamed “Spider” by his father due to his frantic energy, Taylor was a natural-born guitarist, gifted with perfect pitch and a voracious musical appetite. Throughout the 70s, he expanded his musical repertoire, playing in bands ranging from country to post-punk, like his outfit Red Wedding, while al…
Practical
*300 copies limited release* Commissioned in 2019 to bridge two bathing cultures—one Japanese, one American—Practical translates the healing steam of Beppu's legendary Kannawa Mushiyu Onsen into immersive sound for Washington Baths, a neighborhood public sauna and artspace in Portland, Maine. The result is a vapor-bath of sound that hovers somewhere between foley and ambient composition, inspired by the mind-altering fragrance of sekishō (石菖, Japanese sweet flag), an ancient medicinal herb whose…
Sonor
For a few fleeting moments during a sunset, the sky is cast a vivid shade of amber. A dramatic flare of colour, a moment belonging to both the day and the night. It is within this vibrant, ephemeral world, that Mongolian-born, Munich-based Enji has written her new album Sonor. Sonor is a record full of life and optimism, from an artist finding the beauty of existing between two worlds, much as a sunset does. Between the cultures of Mongolia and Germany, tradition and innovation, nostalgia and ex…
Much Les
Together with the saxophone player Eddie Harris, Les McCann was responsible for one of the best-sold albums in the whole history of jazz – "Swiss Movement" (Atlantic SD-1537). It was his debut album on the Atlantic label. 1968 saw the release of "Much Les" and elaborated it with new aspects of what McCann did best in his early years: his core sound was enhanced with a string section and Latin percussion. The result is convincing, appealing, and captivating throughout and is considered an underes…
Ornette!
Ornette Coleman, who died in June 2015 from cardiac arrest, must be counted as one of the most influential musicians in the jazz genre. His importance does not only lie in his ground-breaking recordings in the late Fifties and early Sixties, but lies more significantly in the educational effect of his work – in the fact that he always went beyond himself to the very end. Just a little more than a month after his ground-breaking release "Free Jazz", Coleman recorded the present album, in which he…
H.P. Lovecraft
Cosmic Rock is thrilled to announce the long-awaited reissue of H.P. Lovecraft, the seminal debut album by the American psychedelic rock band H.P. Lovecraft. Originally released in October 1967 by Philips Records, this cult classic returns to vinyl, restoring its haunting, eerie ambiance for a new generation of psych explorers. Blending psychedelic and folk rock influences, H.P. Lovecraft draws direct inspiration from the cosmic horror tales of author H.P. Lovecraft—the band's namesake. The albu…
