Formed in 1967 in Detroit, the band Mystic Siva consisted of four teenagers - none older than fifteen - who released a single self-titled album, recorded in a single day in 1970 at the band's self-managed V.O. Studios. The lineup consisted of Dave Mascarin on drums, lead vocals, the original composer, and creator of the album cover; Al Tozzi on guitar, who co-wrote five of the eleven tracks with Mascarin; Marc Heckert on B-3, organ, and vocals; Art Thienel on bass and vocals.
Musically, YaHoWa13 go it on their own, with Octavius, Sunflower, Djinn, and Rhythm collaborating with Electron, who supplies powerful lead vocals. What's here is a collection of powerful rock songs that will echo in your consciousness, like the opening track, 'Edge of a Dream,' and the refrain 'I want to see/What's going on.' The guttural nature of Electron's vocal sound may recall the name of Beefheart to some, and Electron is occupying the same unconsciousness, free in the communal slipstream…
On Balladyna, Tomasz Stanko leads Tomasz Szukalski, Dave Holland and Edward Vesala through seven originals that weld lyrical, Slavic melancholy to volcanic free‑jazz undercurrents, forging a 1970s European classic that still feels startlingly alive.
It's unlikely that many will have missed the fact that ECM - an unparalleled home for groundbreaking music, whose catalog has predominantly been restricted to the CD format since the 1980s - has begun releasing stunning, beautifully produced audiophile vinyl pressings of a select number of their most in-demand releases. Among the most requested to receive this treatment, Arvo Pärt's 1999 full-length, Alina, has long topped their list. Finally, such a dream has come to be with its multiple render…
Huge Tip!!! Mount Athos, known as the «Holy Mountain,» is a monastic peninsula in northeastern Greece, central to Eastern Orthodox monasticism for over a millennium. Its twenty monasteries house around 2,000 monks dedicated to prayer and worship, which songs have echoed across the Aegean Sea for centuries, heard only by visiting pilgrims, isolated from conventional time and global events. After several years of research, and several visits to the retired community, we are happy to present our ne…
It happens very rarely that you can praise a records without any reservations, this is the case here!!! A lot of ink has flowed across the page since the Vogue/Swing release (1955) of that founding solo record. The repertoire was made up of pieces that Thelonious was playing in New York over that period, but in trio or with a quartet, here his music shows nakedness, i should say crudeness, whisch is completely overwhelming. It is a balck and white photograph of what is happening inside Monk's he…
Art Blakey was the new hero on the Paris jazz scene, thanks to his Olympia concert on November 22nd 1958, and his subsequent appearances at the Club St. Germain. People swore by his 'Blues March' and 'Moanin', so why not get him to do the soundtrack for the film Molinaro just finished? The only problem, albeit a major one, was that time was short, so an original score was out of the question: the Jazz Messengers would have to preach the good word by other means. Fortunately, the band's tenor and…
Ebalunga!!! is thrilled to announce the first official reissue of the self-released, self-produced, and self-titled 1985 LP Scott Seskind. The album is a lo-fi singer-songwriter jewel. Don't miss it.
First-ever vinyl reissue. Half-speed mastered. By the time National Health entered Ridge Farm Studio in July 1978 to record their second album, the Canterbury scene was already supposed to be over. Soft Machine had splintered. Caravan had gone pop. Hatfield and the North, whose final line-up supplied three-quarters of National Health's core, had disbanded two years earlier. And yet here, at the supposed tail end of a movement, four musicians produced what many consider its single most fully real…
Half-speed mastered from the original tapes. Gatefold sleeve with archival artwork and 16-page booklet. May 25, 1973. Two records enter the world on the same day, bearing the first and second catalogue numbers of a brand new label called Virgin Records. V2001 is Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells - a record that will sell sixteen million copies, launch an empire, and embed itself in the cultural mainstream forever. V2002 is Gong's Flying Teapot - a record about Pot Head Pixies who ride interstellar …
Open Sky Unit capture a warm‑blooded corner of 1970s Belgian jazz where a family of musicians stretches soul songs into jazz‑funk sermons, turning a small Liège club into a glowing, rough‑edged sanctuary.
If Vol. 1 was the secret handshake, Vol. II is the full initiation rite. The anonymous Quebec duo's sophomore album landed in April 2026 with the weight of near-impossible expectations - sold-out tours across two continents, a viral KEXP session with millions of views, Pitchfork and Fantano circling the wagons - and the remarkable thing is that Angine De Poitrine didn't flinch. Six new tracks, same formula on paper - Khn's microtonal double-neck and loop pedals, Klek's ferocious yet calculated d…
Two masked creatures from Saguenay, Quebec, who communicate only in guttural alien grunts, have managed to become the most talked-about band on the planet - and the funniest part is that nobody can explain exactly why. Maybe because Angine De Poitrine - Khn de Poitrine on a custom-built double-neck microtonal guitar/bass with loop pedals, Klek de Poitrine on drums and percussion - are simply too good to ignore. Behind the papier-mâché masks, the polka-dot costumes and the pyramid hand signs lies…
One of the most distinctive and influential instrumental ensembles of the 1980s, Steps Ahead injected urgently needed vitality into a stagnating fusion landscape with their own brand of intelligent, living jazz. With N.Y.C., their debut for Intuition, the group returned in an electrifying new incarnation and with a dynamically reimagined sound.
Co-founder Mike Mainieri assembled a constellation of seasoned virtuosos for this session: drummer Steve Smith (known for his work with Journey and his o…
Eddie Palmieri stands among the most influential pianists and arrangers in salsa and Latin jazz history. His singular voice fuses the rhythmic urgency of his Puerto Rican roots with the harmonic sophistication of jazz visionaries like Thelonious Monk, Herbie Hancock, and McCoy Tyner. Since founding La Perfecta in 1961 - a radical ensemble built on trombones rather than trumpets - Palmieri has consistently redefined the boundaries between jazz and Afro-Caribbean music.
Released in 1989 and produc…
Reissue of the OST by Luciano Michelini for the dramatic film Anna, quel particolare piacere (aka Anna: The Pleasure, the Torment and Secrets of a Call Girl), directed in 1973 by Giuliano Carmineo with screenplay by Sauro Scavolini, Francesco Miliazia, and Ernesto Gastaldi, photography by Marcello Masciocchi, editing by Eugenio Alabiso, music by Luciano Michelini, production by Dania CC Champion, distribution by Interfilm, and starring Edwige Fenech, Corrado Pani, Richard Conte, Antonio Casale, …
*2026 repress. 300 copies limited edition* After serving for years as a sought-after harpist in various constellations and genres, Laura De Jongh now shares with us an intimate insight of what sounds like the Third Space of her daily, rooted life as a music teacher and mother of two offsprings, where she composes meandering miniatures free of ego, validation and urge.
With references to New Age, ambient and the proximity of field recordings, Laura De Jongh teaches us that music doesn't need to g…
*300 copies limited edition* In a Secret Room is a retrospective that reopens the sonic and visual archive of KKD, bringing back to light a trajectory that long remained underground within the history of Italian new wave. The tracks, recorded between 1979 and 1986, reflect a constantly evolving process shaped by experimentation, improvisation, and a drive toward new languages. The project takes shape inside a former hotel in Italy’s Po Valley, transformed into a studio, rehearsal space, and visu…
On Grumpy Pieces, Harmonious Thelonious condenses his long-evolving language of interlocking melodies, polyrhythms and minimalist electronics into a rougher, nervier form, where grooves bristle with tension and noise becomes a structural force.
On Agneta Nilsson, Heldon sharpen their hybrid of radical prog and early electronics into long, slow-burning forms, where rigorously shaped tension keeps colliding with sudden voltage spikes of guitar and synth.
