Chairs Missing
Presented as an 80-page hardback book -- the size of a 7-inch, but obviously much thicker. If Pink Flag proposed an almost cut and paste approach to deconstructing rock history, the Wire's Chairs Missing proposed something more radical, a definite futurism with much less influence from its antecedents. Chairs Missingwas at once more stark and more lush than its predecessor and has exerted its own influence on the course of cultural history, having laid down one of the earliest (if not the earlie…

J'ai Vu Le Loup
long out of print, few copies spotted of this late 70's dreamy folk album...Veronique Chalot was born in Normandy in the north of France, but it was in Paris that she first became interested in traditional French folk music.

Untitled #295
Francisco López is not only famous for his profilic sound creations, but also for different aspects of sound manipulations. Since his very beginnings, he explores different fields of sound and almost entire his work belongs to serie "untitled". Untitled #295 is a piece created specially for two sides of vinyl. Besides Francisco Lopez's famous moving soundscapes, it's the pulse what makes this work driving. And not only typical pulse - a regular one with irregular accents. Slowly developing it ta…
Frozen Orchestra (Splitter)
The third release of the 24-piece Splitter Orchester is, like its predecessors, a collaboration. This time they team up with the The Pitch, a quartet consisting to 3/4 out of Splitter Orchester-members. "Frozen Orchestra (Splitter)" is their latest compositional effort in translating the quartet’s language to a large format ensemble utilizing the sensibilites and possibilites of Splitter Orchester’s electro-acoustic instrumentation. "Frozen" thereby indicates a very slowly moving field of harmon…
Curse of Midnight Mary

Singing in a trance like moan, he reforms the Mississippi Delta blues on his acoustic guitar w/ flashes of melodic hooks & a percussive guitar style that erupts into boogie-woogie riffs & other world spirituals.

A Bird In The Engine
In the late '60s, Pip Proud recorded two of the oddest records ever to come out of Australia – Adreneline & Richard and A Bird In The Engine – before vanishing into obscurity for the better part of three decades. Often called the "Australian Syd Barrett," yet Proud actually released his second album in 1969, a year prior to The Madcap Laughs, and developed his indigenous psychedelia in virtual isolation.A Bird In The Engine is even more rare than his debut. From the extraordinary "Eagle-Wise" to…
Barricade 3
Restocked!!! ZNR was the French duo of Hector Zazou and Joseph Racaille (hence, Zazou 'n' Racaille) active in the mid to late '70s. Their 1976 debut, Barricade 3, is an anti-pop masterpiece that truly defies categorization; it makes perfect sense that ZNR appears on the infamous Nurse With Wound list. Featuring an array of seemingly dichotomous instruments (piano, synthesizers, woodwinds, electric guitar, and more) as well as genuinely bizarre vocals, the album is composed of fifteen odd experim…
Universal Consciousness
Mindblowing!!! Originally released on Impulse! in 1971, Universal Consciousness is a major turning point in Alice Coltrane's momentous career. While her previous albums pushed the limits of spiritual free jazz and featured much of her late husband's band, Universal Consciousness expands the harpist / pianist's compositional palette with organ and strings (working with Ornette Coleman). "Oh Allah" is the finest example of Coltrane's new direction: tense violins dissolve into sublime organ solos a…

Reportage: Spela Sjalv
Exact reproduction LP of a Swedish release from 1970. A bit of confusion surrounds this release: The album has been credited to Träd, Gräs och Stenar, but they aren't featured on it. Bo Anders Persson did, in fact, in collaboration with Solvieg Bark, compile, edit and release this album. Bo Anders Persson, was a member of the legendary Swedish bands Harvester, International Harvester, Pärson Sound, and Träd, Gräs Och Stenar. Solveig Bark was one of a few young composers that, through the UNM (Yo…
En Pyri / Bacchae
Two previously unreleased recordings from one of Greece’s pioneers of electroacoustic music** It’s an astounding moment for archival releases and reissues - an unprecedented flow of artifacts emerging from the history of the sonic avant-garde. While the sounds of developing electronic technologies were harnessed during the first part of the 20th Century, it wasn’t until the post-war period that they truly took hold - the focus of many of that era’s most ambitious musical minds. Beginning in the …
