Before the studio could tame an idea, Can were already somewhere new. The Peel Sessions Vol. 1 brings together recordings made for John Peel’s BBC Radio 1 programme between 1973 and 1975—music that moves freely between hypnotic rhythm, raw electronics and sudden, unexpected turns. Much of it is built from improvisation, with the band stretching each performance into its own world.
Across six tracks, Can turn the studio into a place of discovery. The momentum of “Up the Bakerloo Line with Anne” g…

Band's first ever recordings which meant to be the precursor of their legendary 'Archaïa' 1977 debut LP.

Faust unbound, curated by keyboardist Hans-Joachim Irmler. Drones, grooves and collage roam free, another founder's window onto the collective's fearless, uncategorisable body of work.
The Faust vaults through Jean-Herve Peron's eyes. Songs, sabotage and tender strangeness sit side by side, a personal cut of the krautrock legends' boundless, unruly tape archive.
More from the Faust archive, chosen by drummer Zappi Diermaier. Rhythm-driven fragments, noise and studio mischief, the collective's fearless early spirit heard through a founder's own ear.
Faust's vaults, opened by the band itself. Co-founder Gunther Wusthoff curates unheard tapes and fragments, motorik grooves, collage and pure invention from krautrock's great disruptors.
The self-titled debut of Jaki Liebezeit's post-Can group. Motorik pulse meets echo, dub and electronic haze: loose, driving and deeply hypnotic. Krautrock's rhythmic genius stretching out on his own terms.
Can drummer Jaki Liebezeit's own vehicle. Phantom Band ride his inexhaustible groove into dubwise, hypnotic krautrock: spacious, propulsive and endlessly funky. Rhythm as pure hypnosis, from one of the great German drummers.
Faust reactivated. 'Something Dirty' pairs founding members with new collaborators for grinding, groove-driven experiments: raw guitars, motorik pulse and studio mischief, the old subversive spirit alive and unbowed.
The lost album. Recorded in 1974 and shelved for decades, 'Punkt' captures Faust between anarchy and melody: brooding, expansive and strange. A missing chapter of krautrock history, finally heard.
The fourth trove of Faust rarities. Studio sketches, false starts and sudden brilliance from rock's great disruptors, proof that even the offcuts of this collective crackle with fearless, unrepeatable invention.
Volume three of Faust's archival 'snapshots'. More unheard fragments from the krautrock legends' vaults: collage, groove and glorious chaos, the sound of a band that treated the studio as both demolition site and playground.
Snapshots from the Faust vaults, unheard studio moments from krautrock's most anarchic band. Tape collage, motorik grooves and pure sonic sabotage sit side by side, a document of the collective's fearless early-'70s experimentation.
The mighty Argentine progsters Bubu make a triumphant comeback with their 3rd and final album El Ultimo Cortejo. Composed in part based on notes discovered by the band’s mastermind Daniel Andreoli in his parents’ basement, dating back to the Anabelas (1976) period, and in part on newly infused sonic elements by the evergreen lineup that boasts some of the finest upcoming musicians from Buenos Aires’ rampant neoprog scene, El Ultimo Cortejo carves new pathways in Bubu’s evolutionary trajectory by…
*100 copies limited edition* It is not with sheer joy, but with overwhelming jouissance that we undertook the demanding task to reissue on vinyl the behemoth that is called Anabelas. Heralded in its contemporary 70s music press in Argentina as a phenomenal release, and venerably revered globally for many years to come by progrock aficionados as a best-kept secret. Unfettered by the stealthily eroding repetitiveness that eventually forces aural innovations into the territory of trite and lacklust…
