Zimna Kąpiel
The history of music largely consists of the word "if." For if Boguslaw "Dizzy" Rudzinski had not emigrated to Sweden in the mid-1960s, the history of Polish jazz might have looked very different. And the songs that appear on the album "Cold Bath" more than half a century after recording - could successfully fill one of the volumes of the "Polish Jazz" series.
Boguslaw Rudzinski, despite his great activity on the music scene of the late 1950s and early 1960s, quickly fell into oblivion after emi…
Optima Fide (1968-70 • More Belgian Scores - Third Stream Tales)
The Belgian jazz orchestra run by BRT radio was one of Europe's most interesting workshops, allowing composers to experiment at will with the sound or structure of works. Jerzy Milian exploited the possibilities of this composition to its absolute limits, and "Optima Fide," the eleventh installment in the "Jerzy Milian Tapes" series, chronicles this turbulent period in his career. Beginning in the mid-1960s, Milian regularly wrote large forms bordering on jazz and avant-garde for Belgian radio. …

Spiral - Pole
Karlheinz Stockhausen – Spiral was composed in 1968 while Stockhausen was living in Connecticut (United States). It was developed through his association with a guitarist student, Michael Lorimer, and originally dedicated to him (tho never performed by him).

Seinsart : Live at Morden Tower
Tip! *Limited edition of 300 copies.* Live At Morden Tower was first released in 1983 and re-released many times through the years but never into CD format. Finally here comes the very first CD re-edition of such seminal work including as bonus also the track "Live At Anti-Fest".
Changez Les Blockeurs (1982), is the first true Noise LP of the modern era. Although Changez Les Blockeurs was undoubtedly hugely influential, TNB’s Live At Morden Tower cassette (1983) was perhaps even more so, just ab…
Come Out From The Shadows Volume 5 (Parzkricht)
*Limited edition of 199 copies.* Legendary Pink Dots open-air live-section at "Parzkricht / Rotterdam" in 1983.

Tracks 1-3 are taken from the Vpro Radio recording of the show, while the rest was never broadcasted in full. "They Don't Horses.." did appear on a compilation cassette many years ago (Recloose Live Series Num…

La bête noire/Paris n'existe pas
From deep in the vaults of the Parisian composer who arguably created the stylistic blueprint for decades of orchestral French funk and symphonic psychedelia, "the arranger's arranger" Jean-Claude Vannier (Histoire de Melody Nelson/L'enfant assassin des mouches) finally liberates two previously unreleased and fabled film soundtracks that mark significant milestones in the career of this legendary composer and his close connection to the French free jazz scene. Comprised on this one vinyl disc yo…

The Sun / The Rain
*2022 stock. Limited edition of 107 copies including an orange 7" vinyl.* Note from the label: OEC made an error with the mastering of this album. We received a master from Mr Renou (Brume) which wasn’t in the conditions to be sent to the pressing plant and therefore we was burning a new disc. By doing this we entered by mistake a series of pauses between the tracks. We didn’t altered the music, didn’t cut any sound but, as said, entered a pause by each and any ID. That error on the master is 10…

Herbstlaub
»Herbstlaub,« the third album by Marsen Jules, was both introspective and visionary, modest and ground-breaking. Blending elements of classical music with electronic textures, the German artist created six pieces that draw on the power of repetition, yet are full of internal tensions and sweeping dynamics. Now, Keplar makes it available again on vinyl for the first time since its original release in 2005. This version, remastered by Stephan Mathieu and with a new artwork by Umor Rex’s Daniel Cas…
