Bastille Musique presents its thirty-eighth release »DLW: Live at Salle Cortot« featuring world premiere recordings by Dell-Lillinger-Westergaard. The live recordings were made between 2023 and 2025 at venues such as Salle Cortot (Paris), Resonanzraum (Hamburg), Orangerie Theater (Cologne), Elbphilharmonie (Hamburg) and Paul-Robeson-Studio (Berlin) and document the development of Dell-Lillinger-Westergaard’s repertoire during this period. In addition to the recordings produced by bastille musiqu…
Digipack CD. In the late 1980s, Klaus Wiese (Popol Vuh) deepened his connection with Tibetan culture. The result is a series of works solely dedicated to the universal purity of the Singing Bowls. Uranus, perhaps the most rigorous of these, is an intense meditation on the trans-personal sphere of the VI chackra. The music becomes like a single harmonic chant, the reflection of a constant flow of divine light, which transforms the psyche and dilates the secret passages of the heart. In the galaxy…
A devastating cry for Palestine, nearly five decades later, this radical 1977 masterpiece returns to vinyl via Black Sweat Records. Demetrio Stratos, Gaetano Liguori, and Giulio Stocchi created a powerful sonic testament to the 1976 Tall el Zaatar massacre - a devastating blend of free jazz, experimental vocals, and Mediterranean traditions. More than music, it's unflinching historical testimony that remains painfully relevant today.
Born in 1945 near Hiroshima, eighty years old in a year that marks eighty years since the war, Akira Sakata hands this one over almost humbly, which is not a word you often reach for with him. In a Sentimental Mood is the first record by his new trio Akira Sakata SOS, the alto and clarinet veteran flanked by pianist Nana Omori and his own son on drums, Manabu Sakata. They open with the Duke Ellington ballad you think you know, all velvet and nostalgia, and then Omori climbs onto the tips of her …
Thomas Carney, also active as Giugno and as sound technician mixing and mastering in an audio spectrum going from techno to hardcore punk, delivers here seven delicate blossoms recorded while traveling Europe and in NYC. Fragmentary poetry, with a firm, translucent style, drawing a faint but significant line of demarcation from his previous releases on No Rent and Trust Collective.
There's a story that gets to the heart of this record. Years ago, Keefe Jackson spent an evening with South African-Dutch legend Sean Bergin - the only time the two ever met. At some point Bergin told him: "Keefe, you remind me very much of my friend Ab Baars." Jackson replied that he'd heard this many times, that he'd even stopped wearing a certain hat to avoid the comparison. Bergin paused, then said: "These things happen." And so a band got its name - from a throwaway line that turned out to …
This album is definitely a one-of a kind unique release on Strata East - out of print for nearly 50 years and unbelievably hard to find. Do not miss out if you want one as Strata East always sell out! Big Double 180gm vinyl plus gatefold sleeve - quality package!
180g black vinyl with poly-lined black paper sleeve and double-sided insert. There's a lineage of American fingerstyle guitar that runs from the Piedmont porches of Elizabeth Cotten through Robbie Basho's visionary expansions into spiritual territory - and then, somehow, into the waters. With his second full-length album, Brooklyn-based guitarist Ben Van Bonn acknowledges these predecessors while floating wordlessly into terrain they never mapped.
Further Than Thought is aquatic music in the tru…
* Double vinyl LP | Extended reissue All tracks remastered from the original master tapes * And here it is! For the first time ever, Zoo Folle in its full, extended glory. This double LP contains both the soundtrack as released in 1974 (sides A and B) and previously unreleased gems (sides C and D). Back in 2016 Four Flies put out the first official reissue of Zoo Folle. It sold out in a matter of months, leaving many vinyl collectors hungry for more. Quite serendipitously, the following year we…
Five years after their radiant debut Ufo Bar, Italian cinematic funksters Banda Maje are back with Costa Sud to take us deeper into their land of ‘Salifornia’—a Southern province of sun-drenched coastlines and decaying buildings where dreams of exotic escapism sprout and bloom.
Once again, behind the eight tracks in the album—and behind the wheel of the fiery red Alfasud on the cover—is composer and keyboardist Peppe Maiellano. He has meticulously tailored each piece to his virtuoso partners in …
Enter the hypnotic sound-world of C(or)N(e)T - the new collaboration between cornet players, inventors and virtuoso musical wizards Pierre Bastien & Louis Laurain. Recorded in residence at The Rose Hill studios in 2023 this utterly unique album is a kind of electro-acoustic Fiesta! At times it’s a combination of organic techno and free jazz, like a joyful train ride through a mechanised junglescape.. Their set up is wildly creative and full of modified objects: automaton cornet mutes, underwater…
After Caspar Brötzmann’s 2024 LP with Bass Totem, Caspar Brötzmann Massaker releases new live recordings of “All This Violence.” Founded 1986, the band’s intense, influential sound shaped underground rock, inspiring acts like Sonic Youth and SUNN O))). Brötzmann’s unique, genre-crossing style remains radical and uncompromising.
Containing what are easily among the important and celebrated works by Tōru Takemitsu, arguably Japan's most important and celebrated 20th Century avant-garde composer, 'Quatrain / A Flock Descends Into The Pentagonal Garden' was originally issued by Deutsche Grammophon in 1980. Had the Avant-Garde series not concluded nine years prior, it certainly would have been contained within its ranks. Illuminating a crucial juncture within the composer's career which not only found him fully embracing ac…
Originally issued in 1970 within the third suite of LPs comprising Deutsche Grammophon's Avant-Garde series, the French composer and electroacoustic pioneer Luc Ferrari's Presque Rien No.1 / Société II stands among the most important and groundbreaking albums issued within the canon of 20th Century avant-garde and experimental music. Containing two radically distinct works, Presque Rien No.1 (1967-1970) and Société II (1967), it doubles as a near perfect illumination of the incredible range of c…
Some records exist outside of time not by design but by circumstance. Magic Theatre was recorded in the spring of 1972 in the Stuttgart studio of pianist Horst Jankowski, submitted to MPS, and promptly shelved. It sat untouched for three decades, until Jankowski - shortly before his death - returned the tapes to their rightful owner. What emerged was one of the most genuinely unclassifiable documents of the European underground.
Drum Circus were a Swiss percussion ensemble anchored by Peter Gige…
2025 stock After the re-issue of almost all of the legendary Pilz-label records, Ardo Dombec’s one and only LP (Pilz 2021095-2) is now available as well. The intricate rhythms and jazzy touches of this Hamburg band were at the time quite unusual for a label specialised in folk music. The re-issue LP features two tracks, which were then included in a compilation album, and another two songs from a never released Pilz 7” single as bonus tracks. The insert includes a lengthy band story in German an…
Bomb! Estonian multi-instrumentalist Misha Panfilov returns with Days As Echoes, a sophomore release that channels the expansive spirit of Krautrock through the lens of contemporary ambient and spiritual jazz. Part of Panfilov's ever-expanding musical universe, the Misha Panfilov Sound Combo delivers six compositions that function as both individual meditations and a cohesive sonic narrative about hope, journey, and human connection. Drawing from an impossibly diverse palette that includes Ethio…
