Doctor Dancing Mask: Pianoisms
Neil S. Kvern’s Doctor Dancing Mask: Pianoisms is a near mythical marker on the map of late 20th century experimentalism transpiring in America’s Pacific Northwest. A sublime, spacious effort of left field DIY minimalism constructed from recurring piano pieces, hypnotic percussion, and a peppering of diverse instrumentation, vocals, and invisible effects, Doctor Dancing Mask illuminates a hidden but remarkable legacy of a young composer at the height of his creativity and consciousness.

Reaction
Originally released in 1972 on Polydor, Reaction is a raw, high-voltage blast of Hard Rock, Blues Rock, and Heavy Psych from Hamburg’s loudest and most electrifying trio.Forged in post-’60s Germany and driven by Peter Braun’s searing guitar work and vision, this overlooked gem finally gets the recognition it deserves. Reissued by Yunque Records, the album delivers a tightly wound, riff-heavy assault that hits hard from the first note to the last—no filler, no compromise. Reaction made a name for…
Thresholds

Particularly Dangerous Situation
*150 copies lmiited edition* Ian Wellman's “Particularly Dangerous Situation”, his first release for Elevator Bath and first vinyl LP, is a meditative, at times harrowing, interpretive document of the catastrophic California wildfires of 2025. Wellman's stunningly descriptive field recordings plus his signature tape loop textures and sampled drones combine for a dramatic ten-part narrative that is both frightening and sorrowful in its depiction of calamitous events. "On January 7, 2025 Southern …
String Figures
String Figures, Felicity Mangan’s debut solo LP on Elevator Bath, blends tactile drones, electronic tones, and wetland field recordings into inventive, emotionally rich compositions.

Regel
Oblio, a brand new imprint dedicated to reissues from the moodier spectrum of Italian experimental music, launches into action with the first ever fully remastered vinyl reissue of Maurizio Bianchi's 1982 private press masterstroke “Regel”.

*100 copies limited edition.* A raw sonic document of exile, trauma, and transformation, this CD collects early works by Hungarian artist Sándor Vály, recorded between 1988 and 1992. Created using homemade instruments, rudimentary electronics, and cassette gear, these tracks trace a turbulent path through desertion, psychiatric confinement, political escape, and cultural rebirth. Inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead and personal upheaval, Bardo Tödol I–II, SoulDrum, and other recordings evok…
Stasis
*2023 stock. 100 copies limited edition* A deposition of cold electronics and harsh frequencies to testify to the perpetual stagnation of reality. Nothing ever changes except the means through which this successful illusion is maintained. "Stasis" is an exploration, in seven chapters, of the diagrams of the power mechanisms caging us in an invisible prison: civilization. From the anointing ritual of ecstatic pain engrafting the mental germ, to its own epiphany, and to the final revelation: the w…
Love letters via Echelon
Love letters via Echelon by Nerthus is a spectral descent into coded romanticism and surveillance. Electronic textures, cryptic samples, and cinematic atmospheres evoke the tension between intimacy and secrecy—a sonic correspondence unfolding in digital shadow and memory.
Grain of Light
*150 copies limited edition* Robin Storey’s journey through sound is inseparable from the evolution of post-industrial and experimental ambient music itself. As a founding member of the seminal collective Zoviet France, formed in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1979, Storey helped shape a new sonic vocabulary that blended ritual abstraction, primitive sampling, and immersive atmospheres. When Storey launched his solo project Rapoon in 1992, he distilled that experimental spirit into a more introspective …
Vala, or the Four Zoas
On Vala, Or The Four Zoas, Capricorni Pneumatici push their FM-synthesis ritualism to a more dreamlike, narrative plane, fusing DX7 and CX5 timbres, cave-born concrète, and ascetic tape manipulations into one of their most enigmatic, Blake-shadowed works.
Trad, Gras Och Stener: A Collective History (Book)
Huge Tip! 400 pages, 387 Images. The story of the legendary Swedish psych rock band Träd, Gräs och Stenar is also a defining story of alternative culture. Across multiple incarnations, the musicians of this iconic group (whose name translates to “Trees, Grass and Stones”) have drawn on their roots in jazz and the avant-garde, the iconoclastic art and theater of the 1960s, and the back-to-the-land “green wave” movement to blaze a pioneering trail across fifty years of endlessly improvisational, r…

In As Serious As Your Life, photographer and historian Val Wilmer chronicles the free jazz revolution as a Black cultural vanguard, situating Ayler, Coltrane, Coleman, Sun Ra and others within the struggles, hopes and solidarities of 1960s–70s America.
Second Sight
Whenever the term “Free Jazz” gets mentioned, the same questions more or less present themselves: “Is this easy to listen to?” “Is there structure, or is this just a few friends playing over each other?” “Is this another Coleman/Taylor/Dolphy homage?” Yes; yes; maybe—who cares? Free Jazz is (in my definite opinion) the last bastion of music (and maybe even art as a whole) where true innovation is not only still possible but also extremely well-executed—if done right. Enter “Second Sight” by Oslo…

Union
*2024 stock* "Muriel Grossmann's music had an immediate impact on me from the moment I first heard it. It was music with dedication, speaking from the heart. I felt it speaks of past and present, with joy and happiness. Ten seconds into listening and I was hooked. I was all over the web trying to find a vinyl copy, but strangely enough there wasn't any available. Without a second thought we decided to get in touch with Muriel and ask how that is possible. And behold, before long, we were listeni…
Muriel Grossmann Plays The Music Of McCoy Tyner And Grateful Dead
At first glance, the idea that McCoy Tyner and the Grateful Dead might share musical DNA seems like a stretch. One built frameworks to support Coltrane’s spiritual flights—rewriting the jazz harmony playbook while turning chords into flexible architecture. The others were a San Francisco circus of psychedelic chaos and Americana grooves, an improvising rock band whose mythology often overshadowed their musicianship. On the surface, Tyner and the Dead appear to come from different galaxies. But l…
