The Electronic Hole
* in process of stocking * Second album from the cultish experimental jam band formed in 1967 in Orange County, California. Their second effort from 1970 - The Electronic Hole - takes a step away from their earlier work, being composed with definite song structures versus the earlier drawn-out freeform jams. Sounding much like a west-coast version of The Velvet Underground & Nico, the album has melodic motifs but is much more primitive and mysterious than its cousin, with loads of fuzz, hauntin…
I Get Along Without You Very Well
Ellen Arkbro and Johan Graden embody the limitless curiosity and fearless innovation of the Swedish and Berlin new music scenes they inhabit. Arkbro is a composer and musician whose work has been presented around the globe at prestigious institutions such as the Barbican in London, GRM in Paris and the Kölner Philharmonie in Köln. Graden is one of Sweden’s most sought-after pianists, moving freely between classical music and the European contemporary jazz scene. Currently living in Amman Jordan,…
Vinti 'e Maju
The protagonists of this album embrace the complexity, diversity, and innovative power of a musical tradition that, in this case, seeks dialogue with other languages, opening itself up to innovative music. On one side, we find the prepared Sardinian guitar, an alien instrument that has fascinated music critics from Europe and overseas; on the other, the guttural singing of the Tenore Murales, an expression of one of the most ancient polyvocalities in the Mediterranean, with similarities to Tuva …
Mnemonist Orchestra
Mnemonists, on the first album called Mnemonist Orchestra, is U.S collective of avant-garde musicians from Colorado, led by Mark Derbyshire and William Sharp. Their music is a mixture of modern classical, experimental sounds, noise, industrial, avant-garde and free jazz. Their releases were published by their own self-produced label Dys between 1981 and 1986. By 1985 the group had split off into separate groups for visual and audio work. From that time, Mnemonists operated only as a visual arts …
Keith Tippett: Mujician
Bomb! 328 pages hard-cover book, large format + 2CD of previously unreleased recordings. Keith Tippett (1947-2020) occupies a singular place in the history of British improvised music - a pianist of extraordinary range whose work moved fluidly between free jazz, large-scale orchestral composition, and solo improvisation of rare depth. Born in Bristol and trained first as a chorister, Tippett arrived in London in the late 1960s and rapidly established himself as a central figure in the city's cr…
Igneo
A blazing chapter of Zu’s early history returns. Originally released in 2002, Igneo is back in print.
BiS Kaidan Last Gig @ WWW
In May 2014, the group held their final concert as BiS Kaidan before disbanding, much as BiS themselves will disband in July. Notably, their final show began with the group performing "nerve", their representative song, thirteen times in a row.
Biskaidan is a cross-generational coup de pop, uniting two acts from opposing ends of Japan's musical spectrum. BiS (short for Brand-New Idol Society) are representatives of Japan's 'idol' scene, a culture of singerdancer-celebs who define the country'…
Sleep
Italian saxophone, cornettophone, and bansuri flute player Gianni Gebbia makes his debut on Minority Records with Sleep, released on LP and Bandcamp on May 1, 2026, the same day that marks the artist's 65th birthday.Sleep can be considered an introspective and ambient meditative work, whose structure does not correspond to traditional jazz compositions, but rather consists of extensive improvised hypnotic soundscapes without precise boundaries, using soprano saxophone and cornettophone with elec…
Gérard Grisey. Vortex Temporum
The first-ever vinyl release of Gérard Grisey’s Vortex Temporum (to our knowledge). Movements I and II appear as a single track to preserve their spectral continuity. The LP features cover art by Dariia Kuzmych and comes with a zine of her ballpoint drawings, merging time and human tissue.

Heat
With Heat, Société Étrange extends its work around repetition, groove and cyclic structures, shaping an instrumental music that is both hypnotic and enveloping. Without any radical shift, the Lyon-based trio subtly moves towards more melodic and more cinematic forms, revealing warmer, more textured and sometimes more luminous atmospheres.
Formed by Antoine Bellini (electronics), Romain Hervault (bass) and Jonathan Grandcollot (drums), Société Étrange builds here a more diffuse trance, driven by …
In Filth Your Mystery Is Kingdom / Far Smile Peasant in Yellow Music
On In Filth Your Mystery Is Kingdom / Far Smile Peasant in Yellow Music, Dagmar Zuniga threads five years of Tascam‑4‑track recordings into a porous, tape‑hazed songbook: fragile transmissions where harmony, hiss and fingertip detail make lo‑fi feel widescreen.
Oscillations
On Oscillations, Sol Sol stretch their free‑jazz vocabulary into something almost cosmic: ten pieces where Elin Forkelid’s four saxes, David Stackenäs’ guitar and the Agnas brothers’ rhythm team move from feather‑light drift to razor‑edged intensity with effortless precision.
First Time Out
**Limited edition 350 copies clear vinyl** Kosmose were a Belgian cosmic collective formed in Charleroi and active across the 1970s, a loose and more or less leaderless group of local players anchored around multi-instrumentalist Alain Neffe (later of Insane Music and the Belgian wave underground) and bassist Francis Pourcel, with the young Guy Marc Hinant, later a co-founder of Sub Rosa, among their number. First Time Out captures a session recorded and mixed in March 1975, entirely unreleased…
Thank You, Guitar
In the ongoing battle between technical virtuosity and authentic expression, most guitar "shredders" have chosen the wrong side - trafficking in overwrought drama while remaining devoid of soul, viewing music as competitive sport rather than spiritual exploration. Enter Cyrus Pireh, whose latest Palilalia release Thank You, Guitar represents nothing less than a revolutionary approach to "transcendental shred electric guitar music" that upcycles the despised 32nd-note neck sprint into something g…
Electronic Mind Waves, Volume 2
The archive is not neutral. In 2019, Andrea Centazzo discovered unlabeled tape reels in his mother's attic in Udine - boxes assumed lost seven years earlier. What emerged from these deteriorating reels, transferred by engineer Sergio Tomasini during COVID lockdowns, was unexpected: unreleased recordings from the original Elektriktus sessions of 1973-76, alongside other archival materials including previously unknown collaborations with Steve Lacy and Evan Parker from the same period.
Centazzo's …
Electronic Mind Waves
In the summer of 1976, a peculiar album appeared in Italian record shops bearing no artist name - only the cryptic moniker Elektriktus. The music posed a question that wouldn't be answered for decades: who had created this hybrid of jazz sensibility and kosmische synthesis? The answer was hiding in plain sight. Andrea Centazzo - recognized figure in European free improvisation who had shared stages with Steve Lacy, Evan Parker, and Derek Bailey - had been leading a double life between touring wi…
