Group Motion
Repressed. Morphine Records continues to unearth recordings from Philadelphia's synth pioneer, Charles Cohen. Two beautiful drone/ambient/jazz pieces on this one (recorded live in 1989), exposing the sonic genius and dexterity of Cohen alongside the astounding possibilities of that highly-desirable synthesizer of his. Group Motion is a dance theater in Philadelphia founded by Manfred Fischbeck with whom Cohen collaborated and performed. The "Group Motion Performance" is a live recording wit…
Kensington Blues
Available now for the first time on vinyl, Kensington Blues is the fourth full-length release from Jack Rose and his most diverse outing by far. The album is an inspired mix of styles and sounds, with straight ragtime, heavy 12-string, and that sweet, sweet Weissenborn lap guitar all checking in. Honed during endless touring in 2004, the repertoire here is delivered with maximum authority in a series of first-take performances recorded in early 2005.
Samoobrona
"Magiczny manifest [Eng. Self-defence. The Magical Manifesto], this play was written between 1974 and 1975,three times: once in the radio and twice at home, performing an amateur mix of its fragments with conversations and other private noise. These performances were autonomous materials ready for release. Nonetheless, the 'staging' of Jiricka and Piotrowicz is to some extent more congruent with the spirit of the original work than any other performance, including the recordings made by the auth…
Archival sound series
An astonishing album compiled by sound artist Yasuhiro Morinaga focused on the legendary Ludwig Koch, who was one of the greatest pioneers of wildlife sound recording and natural history broadcasting. For more than 30 years he developed new techniques of recording wildlife in the field and overcame the various challenges that came with location recording. Many of his wildlife and soundscape recordings were published during his lifetime and continue to delight and inspire all who listen to them
LP
Ren Schofield's Container took the world of underground electronic music by storm with the debut LP in 2011 (SP 007LP). Following massive amounts of touring and the powerful follow-up LP, LP, in 2012 (SP 025LP), the project became a must-experience staple everywhere from U.S. basements to Berghain. After two fantastic EP recordings on Morphine (Treatment, DOSER 016EP, 2013) and Liberation Technologies, Container returns with the first full-length album since 2012, simply titled LP. LP is the …
There Is A Universe
"Rare private press jazz/space rock album, on reissue wish lists for years.This masterpiece crawled up my spine like a kundalini snake and proceeded to take the top of my head off. Probe 10 are unquestionably linked to a very specifically American form of proto-prog-into-jazz-rock synthesis of the precise sort Elektra Records used to specialize in, from Tim Buckley's Starsailor to David Stoughton's Transformer. Toss in trumpet fanfare laden acid psych straight out of the C.A. Quintet songbook, t…
Once
From the bizarre Polish-cinema-inspired imagery of the album’s artwork to the private-press aesthetics of the original LP, the Once soundtrack has long been a mysterious artifact among rare film and electronic music collectors alike. Written and directed by ‘the father of virtual reality’, the obscure art film is an allegorical tale of‘Creation’ and ‘Destruction’ and the battle for humanity. With no surviving prints of the film traced to date, allthat remains is the remarkable soundtrack. Compos…
Mane Thecel Phares
*Re-press edition of 200 copies - Exceptional slab of squashed, Afro-centric psychedelia and hypnotic Footwork from Low Jack’s Editions Gravats label made in an edition of 350 copies* Low Jack and Jean Carval’s Gravats label open 2015 with a killer new album from prolific psych-drone artist High Wolf under his Black Zone Myth Chant alias. ‘Mane Thecel Phares’ is a wigged-out trip thru Afro-centric, riddim-driven psychedelia, breaking down the boundaries between Sun Ra, DJ Screw, and Vox P…
Il Museo Selvatico
Original copy of the long out of print LP album. Outstanding late 80s LP by Massimo Toniutti, brother of Giancarlo Toniutti. Using recorded sounds from the Friulian mountains as raw material, Toniutti is able to form a hazy, melancholy fog all around the album, entirely made by concrete sounds and manipulated field recordings, run through with riveting tension, enigmatic beauty and smoldering emotions. Il Museo Selvatico was released on vinyl by Idanna in 1991, and it comes with two inserts, on…
Live At Club Boltax, NYC, Oct. 13, 1979
Limited to only 45 hand-numbered copies on black vinyl with a photo and notes on the cover. Great obscure recordings from an equally obscure quintet led by Coltrane's drummer Rashied Ali. Available here for the first time.
Cosmos 2043
Bernard Roger Fevre was making far-out electronic music when most of you readers were still a twinkle in your parent's eye. Cosmos 2043 is clearly an album which is based on space travel, a collection of sounds inspired by the boundless possibilities of the universe. This was Fevre's third LP and his second for the legendary Musax label, rated by most as his finest moment and a true step forwards for synthesizer music given its 1977 release date. Right from the start of "Space Team" and a…
Radio Vietnam
Radio is an audio compass; the radio antennae, a divining rod. Positioned anywhere, it opens an exclusive window directly into the location in which it sits. Signals received on the medium wave (AM) and FM bands reveal programming intended for a local population by governmental, independent, pirate, or corporate media broadcasters. Anything from low-powered ethnic minority transmissions, high-powered westernized pop stations, and omnipresent state-run radio can be found on these bands. Sh…
Disco Dildar
DIY disco from the Pakistani pop workshop. Never ones to merely scrape the surface of a niche genre, Finders Keepers Records dig deeper still into the core of the Indian subcontinent, exhuming a concise party pack of opulent, off-center Pakistani party targets driven by the pounding drum box rhythms of some of Lollywood pop's most notorious studio scientists. Disco Dildar features rare plugged-in proxy pop from some of the country's lesser-known teen flicks spanning the late 1970s and '80…

The complete tape music
Tape music fans pay attention now, this re-issue of Dutch tape-pioneer Dick Raaijmakers’ complete tape work is about as crucial as it gets. Basta has long been making a name for itself issuing shockingly well-presented boxsets of the early electronic music of Raymond Scott among others, but this triple disc package is a real revelation. Dick Raaijmakers may not be a household name to many of you; he didn’t have the profile of Iannis Xenakis or Karlheinz Stockhausen or the semi-mainstream pull of…

November
RRRrestocked!! This is a recording of a major work that has been lost to history for fifty years, as well as one of the most substantial and significant pieces of the minimalist repertoire. Written in 1959 by Dennis Johnson, November was purportedly six hours long as originally conceived. La Monte Young, who knew Johnson while at UCLA in the late 50s, credited the piece for inspiring The Well-Tuned Piano. November was the magnum opus of a heavily abbreviated career, but one that left a large…
