Reissues
Perfection & Permanence
Trepaneringsritualen explores themes of religion, magick and the hidden realms of consciousness, taking its musical cues from the old school of ritual ambient & death industrial. Rhythmic and seething at times, and oozing forward with a creeping sense of desolation at others, Trepaneringsritualen conjures forth bleak but mesmerizing visions of the end-times.
"Perfection & Permanence": a hymn to Isis; a further exploration of the duality of the holy harlot, the black skinned Magdalen, mother and …
Fragments: The Complete 1969 Salle Pleyel Concerts
On Fragments: The Complete 1969 Salle Pleyel Concerts, The Cecil Taylor Unit detonates across two uncut Paris sets: a newly unearthed, vividly mastered document of Taylor, Sam Rivers, Jimmy Lyons and Andrew Cyrille stretching free jazz into an overwhelming, architectural storm of sound.
Buttercorn Lady
On Buttercorn Lady, Art Blakey leads a brief but blazing mid‑60s Jazz Messengers lineup at The Lighthouse, launching a young Keith Jarrett and Chuck Mangione in a hard‑bop set that feels both like a proving ground and a joyous passing of the torch.
Spaces
'Spaces' is an ode to the joy of live performance. It expresses Frahm’s love for experimentation and answers the call from his fans for a record that truly reflects what they have witnessed during his concerts. Breaking the convention of a traditional live album, 'Spaces' was recorded over the course of two years in different locations and on various mediums, including old portable reel-to-reel recorders and cassette tape decks. The decision to select takes that have people coughing and cell pho…
Found Songs
In April 2009, Iceland’s neo-classical export Ólafur Arnalds created the 7-song series Found Songs – recording a song a day for 7 days and instantly making each track available via Twitter. With artwork contributions from fans via Flickr, this modern release awakens memories of a tradition that seemed lost in the digital age we live in. Born in 1987, Ólafur hails from the suburban Icelandic town, Mosfellsbær, just a few kilometres outside of Reykjavík. He has immersed himself completely in a wor…
Hip Harp
*2026 repress!* Born in Detroit in 1932 Dorothy Ashby can be easily recognized as the woman who gave the harp a Jazz voice. In her hands, the harp, an originally classical instrument which seemed to just scare people, became a highly versatile swinging voice able to drive a whole jazz rhythm section. Recorded in 1958 by master Rudy Van Gelder and originally released on the Prestige label, Hip Harp is a perfect example of Ashby’s artistry. At the head of a fine quartet featuring the great Frank …
Sinfonia Do Rio De Janeiro
Dive into the roots of Brazilian musical innovation with the reissue of Antonio Carlos Jobim's Sinfonia Do Rio De Janeiro, a visionary work composed by the legendary Brazilian masters Tom Jobim and Billy Blanco. Originally released in 1954, this album stands as an early, bold experiment in fusing jazz, classical, and pop elements into a vibrant Latin soundscape—years before the bossa nova revolution took the world by storm.
Lavish string arrangements weave seamlessly between sweet choral melodie…
Concert A Prades Le Lez Vol 1 & 2

A singular act of archival reconstruction, mounted in faithful keeping with the wayward spirit of its subject.

Among the most enigmatic figures t…
ИМА (イマ)
Tip! ИМА (Ima) is a work by KiMiMi, the solo project of musician Shin-ya Ohno, which captures the layers of time and the presence of people inhabiting ‘Arimasuton Building’—a self-built structure created over 20 years by architect Keisuke Oka, located in Mita, Tokyo, and reconstructs them into music. A multi-instrumentalist who masterfully handles a diverse range of instruments, with the gaida (an ancestor of the bagpipes) – which he studied in Bulgaria – at the core of his sound, KiMiMi has pre…
Rubycon (50th Anniversary Edition)
50th Anniversary edition of the legendary album ‘Rubycon’ by Tangerine Dream. Widely regarded as one of their finest albums, ‘Rubycon’ was the band’s second album for Virgin Records and comprised two long pieces which pioneered the use of sequencers and synthesiser technology and produced some of the finest ambient music ever recorded. The record was also their highest UK charting release, reaching number 10 on the UK charts.
This new edition features the remastered original stereo mix, along wi…
Piano Piano
Stunning collection of quiet and soft piano pieces by the legendary German keyboardist Hans-Joachim Roedelius co-founder of seminal krautrock bands as Cluster and Harmonia. Inspired by the monumental work of Eric Satie, the album was originally released in 1991. Roedelius exhibits an unexpected subtlety on the keys which lighten these pieces lovingly and pointedly. It’s hardly surprising that the name of the album is a reference to the term ‘pianissimo’, which means to play softly. These are aft…
Zack Gluck
Effortlessly fusing krautrock with jazz and ethnic music, Embryo were unparalleled in the world of progressive fusion and 1984's Zack Glück is one of their most ambitious and rewarding LPs. Flutes and saxophones mix with oud, marimba and violin to make an intoxication concoction.
Africa
Africa, originally released in 1992 on Materiali Sonori, may be a late entry in the Embryo catalog but it is one of their most ambitious and truly progressive albums to date. As the name implies, the Munich group not only draws influence from the continent to their south, but also employs an African percussion ensemble on many tracks.
A Thousand Leaves
A Thousand Leaves was Sonic Youth's 10th studio album and the group's first major effort to be recorded at their own Echo Canyon studio in NYC. Free from the constraints of paying for costly studio time, the band was able to work at their desired pace and experiment at will. The result was an album born out of improvisation, chiefly characterized by the guitar interplay between guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo. The album title was inspired by Walt Whitman as Moore explained, "The same w…

Come Un Vecchio Incensiere All'Alba Di Un Villaggio Deserto
Come un vecchio incensiere all’alba di un villaggio deserto is Alan Sorrenti’s second album, released in 1973 by Harvest Records. This album marks an evolution in his musical exploration, continuing the experimentation begun with his previous album "Aria" and solidifying his position in the Italian progressive rock scene.
The centerpiece of the album is the lengthy suite that gives the record its title, a track lasting over twenty minutes that explores psychedelic, jazz, and folk sounds. The com…

The Velvet Underground & Nico
*45th Anniversary Edition,180 Gram, Gatefold* Over Half a century later, this record still slays; if any album is deserving of the "classic" tag, it's The Velvet Underground & Nico. Lou Reed's affected vocals, Nico's female Lugosi-style recitations, John Cale's droning strings, Moe Tucker's minimal kit - this landmark work laid down paths that musicians today are still trying to follow. Just pick any track: "I'm Waiting For The Man," "Sunday Morning," "Venus In Furs," "All Tomorrow's Parties," "…
Exuma II
Exuma returns with Exuma II, the hypnotic follow-up that deepens the spellbinding fusion of Bahamian folk traditions, mystical storytelling, and raw, soulful performance. First released in 1970 on Mercury Records, Exuma II expands the singular vision that introduced the world to Exuma’s otherworldly sound earlier that year.
On Exuma II, the artist refines the eccentric, ritualistic atmosphere of his debut while offering moments of greater restraint and melodic clarity. Where the first album dazz…
