Erbe Selvatiche
Released around mid '70s, this scarce italian library composed by maestro Oscar Rocchi was released on the same Fonovideo label of the infamous Giancarlo Barigozzi's "Woman's Colours", who also probably played in this session. This is one of the finest funk breaks even jazz-funk album from the Italian Library circle, with terrific drums breaks, stoned flute, fuzzy guitars and Fender Rhodes solos. Many tracks here are perfect for hip hop samples, and have chipped in to make this LP just leg…

Riflessi

Mangala
2016 restock. Mangala is a composition from 1986. After composing it Airaksinen told he went to Pori jazz festival. He told, he picked same moods in Miles Davis and Urban Sax as in his composition.
We've seen a lot of oddities reissued over the last few years, but few come close to capturing the bewildering brilliance of this bizarre album, resurfacing now on a first-ever vinyl pressing of this gem. angala is completely different world and time, maybe out of time. It is complex and exiting. Ki…

Vain, erudite and stupid
"Disliked in their native country of New Zealand, associated with drug-assisted hallucinations and blackouts, and evidently crazy enough to plan their own deaths, the trio of Michael Morely, Robbie Yeats, and Bruce Russell also happen to be more brilliant than most bands they're compared to. This collection is superb: competent enough to entice new listeners and pull in folks that already love their music and want more.
The first disc covers everything from their first album up and until 1994. …
Orgelkonzert Berlin 2016
Recording of Hermann Nitsch's pipe organ concert, Berlin, January 22, 2016. "Hermann Nitsch is looked upon as the true successor the great masters of symphony: Beethoven, Bruckner and Mahler. He draws from Scriabin's, Schoenberg's and Webern's experience, however comes up with different conclusions than their (sanctioned) successors. That is to say: Nitsch disregards Webern's analysis of music. Unlike others he does not attempt to advance atonal music with methods that should be handed over to s…
Coin coin chapter one: Gens de couleur libres
At first look this might seem like a weird move for the Constellation label as Matana Roberts’ debut for the imprint is pretty much straight-up free jazz. But she’s got some serious history with the Montreal collective, even throwing down horns with Godspeed on the fabled ‘Yanqui UXO’. Thinking about it too, there’s always been a nod towards the free jazz scene (not least on Colin Stetson’s recent genre-bending LP) but where others were a nod, ‘COIN COIN Chapter One : Gens de Couleur Libres’ is …

Australian Sound Sculptures
Two amazing sound droning sculptures works by environmental sound artist Bill Fontana. In Fontana's words, "I was fascinated with how familiar sound sources had many possible acoustical perspectives, and how the simultaneous perception of these possible perspectives could transform the acoustical meaning of the sound." In 'Kirribilli Wharf' (1976), Fontana's goal was to capture the sounds of a water environment from multiple acoustical perspectives, and to accomplish that he placed microphones i…
