Fluvius
*250 copies limited edition* Fluvius is a conceptual album about water and its importance, in the form of rivers, in the birth and development of great civilizations throughout history. Civilizations that have worshiped water as a source of life to respect, care for, venerate, and fear. A work that probably surpasses everything that these two usual suspects of the label have previously produced - Hari Sima released "Fluido Tiempo" on Abstrakce and Mínim is a member of Mecánica Clásica -.

El Pasaje Del Aumento
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* "El Pasaje del Aumento" is a collection of syncopated rhythms for hypnotic slow dance. An accident of oppressive atmospheres with a humorous sense of rhythm and composition, which moves between downtempo, African rhythms and dub. With a certain oriental softness, it introduces you into a state of enchantment, spell... a hypnotic and mysterious restlessness, almost uncomfortable. Sentuhlà squeezes his Yamaha Rm1x on this second album, creating …

Fallen Gods (2LP)
Fallen Gods is the third studio album by Rapoon aka Robin Storey, formerly of :zoviet*france:. Originally released in 1994, ‘Fallen Gods’ emerged amid a prolific early period for the Rapoon project, following in the wake of debut album ‘Dream Circle’ – originally released in 1992 – and second outing ‘Raising Earthly Spirits’, released a year later. Building on the haunting industrial ethers of ‘Dream Circle’ and the esoteric, rhythmic drone of ‘Raising Earthly Spirits’, ‘Fallen Gods’ consolidate…
Les Liaisons Dangereuses
The music presented here, composed and conducted by Duke Jordan, is an important jazz work. Duke Jordan was known as Charlie Parker's pianist, and his solo recordings revealed an original form in music, a genius pianist and composer. Jordan's original music for 'Les Liaisons Dangereuses' was recorded in 1959, featuring Art Taylor and Charlie Rouse, two members of Duke's group. With these recordings Duke Jordan clearly announced the dawning of a new era in jazz. This reissue comes with newly rema…
Contemporary Jazz Mass
Tip**Edition of 300 copies. Remastered reissue, released in conjunction with the artist** James Tatum's stunning, spiritualised Contemporary Jazz Mass is one of the only true jazz masses ever released. Inspired by Duke Ellington's Sacred Concerts, Tatum's masterwork was recorded on its first ever performance at St Cecilia Church in Detroit, and released on his own private label in 1974. At the time Ellington’s Concerts were quite controversial. Whilst they contained scriptural references they d…
One Butoh
Akuphone is proud to present Fuji-Yuki’s latest masterpiece, "One Butoh". A musical immersion into the most exciting avant-garde dance style of the past century. Created in Japan in the 1960s by Tatsumi Hijikata, butō is the "dance of the obscure body". It broke with the traditions of classical Noh and Kabuki Theater, which, at the time, seemed outdated in the national context. Nourished by a European artistic avant-garde, butō stands out as a mirror of the socio-political turmoil of a post-Worl…

Shozyg, a performance and improvisational instrument, first created in 1968, consists of fretsa…
Atlas (books, records, relics, prints, sounds)
This book looks at the work of Austrian avant-garde artist Hermann Nitsch, particularly his ritualistic and existential “public aktionen” under the Orgies Mysterien Theater. Presented through the documentation of these events as they were recorded (scored, directed, written down, photographed, published, and reported), this archiving method explores Nitsch’s performative practice, both in terms of how the performance is organised and by what means the organisation is effected by the original and…

Sharav
*In process of stocking* Akuphone is proud to present the Jerusalem-based improvisational trio Leviot and its hypnotizing debut album. Leviot (Hebrew for “Lionesses”) is the brainchild of the multifaceted musician and composer Yael Lavie. She is accompanied by classically trained percussionist and music teacher Cnaan Canetti, and synth enthusiast Yishay Seroussi. The project is a result of Lavie’s explorations beyond the restraints of classical kanun and her fascination for electronic sounds and…
Nass El Ghiwane
Nasse El ghiwane cannot be confined to the people who formed this mythical group. The practice of the ghiwane is an ancestral custom that conferred on people known for their probity and modesty the ability to describe through song and speech the daily life, problems and hindrances of their fellow men. These troubadours, from douars to douars, transmitted their knowledge through poetry, song and theatrical play. Considered revolutionary or a social phenomenon, the mythical band that American dire…

This album is a dynamic document of late-period CAN. Recorded in March 1977, the core line up of Irmin Sch…
Monster Movie
Are we there yet? After 25 years of critical reappraisal and at least 15 years of indie and post-rock bands flaunting their influence, has Can finally gotten their just desserts? I don't think so. Not just yet. Can still seem just a little bit ahead of the curve. They really were "post-rock," as opposed to just futuristic. Can's music anticipated both the musical trend toward decontextualization via electronics, post-production, and editing, and the cultural trend toward collective experience an…
Nestor's Nest
Rob Mazurek graces the Keroxen Records waves with a genre defying album of field recordings, modular electronics, trumpet harmonies and spirit call chants.
An unstoppable force his first recordings in the early 90’s Rob Mazurek has been at the forefront of experimentation and adventurous improvised music for most of the last 4 decades. The American composer, cornetist, and visual artist has been developing his own style of improvisational music with a myriad of collaborators, too many to list bu…
You think you really know me
2024 Small Repress, gold foil cover. Gary Wilson's monumental 1977 LP reissued with a glamorously shiny foil cover bearing the original cover art (care of Owen Maercks's well-loved copy), delicately laid out by Scott Allison. Which makes it, perhaps, the last copy you'll ever need. You Think You Really Know Me (also the title of Michael Wolk's 2005 documentary about Wilson) was Wilson's second LP, but the first he recorded as a vocalist, hewing to his own bizarre vision -- a syncretic collision …
At Studio 2
American vibraphonist Dave Pike was one of the most popular musicians on the German jazz scene in the late 60s and early 70s. The Dave Pike Set attracted attention with their very individual sound, ranging between jazz, rock, free and folk, and they were one of the pioneers of independent European fusion music. Together with his three German sidemen - among them guitarist Volker Kriegel -Pike recorded four studio albums and performed at numerous festivals, e.g. at the Berlin Jazz Festival in 196…
NDR Jazz Workshop No. 25
National and international jazz musicians were invited to the NDR for the Jazz Workshop series. A number of ten to twenty musicians could rehearse for some days and finally present their results to the North German listeners in a live studio concert. The organizer focused on offering some space for experimenting to different musicians who otherwise would never have played together, and to free them from their daily commercial pressures within that period of time. Even though all predominant jazz…
The Jazz Sextet - April 12, 1957 NDR Studio | Hamburg
Hans Gertberg, since 1952 jazz editor and as such as responsible for ''Jazz at the NDR'', had invited an ensemble to Hamburg that was on a European tour and in at least one way promised to shine a little light on the preferences of the trombonist Mangelsdorff. At that time he was already shaping the West German scene considerably. ''The Jazz Sextet'' was the name of the illustrious tour ensemble which also showed up at the Hamburg studio. It followed the current developments up to sacrificing th…
