LP version. Makoto Kawabata (Acid Mothers Temple), Richard Pinhas (Heldon), and Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins). What else is there to say? Richard Pinhas is one of the more atypical French musicians of the last 40 years. He has been surprising everyone all these years -- Always appearing where you expect him the least. Makoto Kawabata, who has been a big follower of Heldon, has also been a longtime friend and partner of Tatsuya Yoshida. So naturally, these three reunited in 2016 at the Studio Con…

The backstory: 5 September, 2012 was the day John Cage would have turneed 100. Centenary celebrations for a prominent artist would seem rather conventional. Inappropriate for an extremely unconventional artist. But seemingly inappropriate things can be quite appropriate in unconventional contexts. So why not participate in a 100th birthday commemorative project? No sooner said than done...

Sound sculptures and gongs by Harry Bertoia unite the sides of this split LP from Tara Jane O'Neil and Eleh. O'Neil's composition was commissioned by Venessa Renwick for her Medusa Smack video installation (originally screened in 2012 at the Oregon Biennial). The piece is partially created from sounds recorded by Bertoia on his own Sonambient sound sculptures, as well as O'Neil's recording of Athanasius Kircher's Bell Wheel at the Museum of Jurassic Technology. Eleh's side consists of 100 go…

Happy Today, the third album from guitarist/bandleader Jeff Parker’s long-running ETA IVtet, was recorded live at Lodge Room in Los Angeles on August 20, 2025. This fresh entry into the IVtet’s catalog captures Parker and the band – including drummer Jay Bellerose, bassist Anna Butterss, and saxophonist Josh Johnson – on record outside of the now-shuttered Highland Park micro-club ETA for the first time. The performance also captures a distinctly joyful night of togetherness set against the back…

Two of Henning Christiansen’s tape works from the 1980’s, Peter der Große op. 174 (1986) and Gudbrandsdal op. 178 (1987), are now released for the first time by the Institute for Danish Sound Archaeology.

It’s past being a commonplace—it’s probably in The Simpsons, etc. —there’s the one dancer at a show who doesn’t care. They aren’t necessarily older than everyone else, but that’s what comes to mind. Whether they are high or not is made irrelevant by their dancing, which is both highly personal and in Haight tradition. The kind of eye contact that’s made about the dancer changes, with the age of the showgoers, from an entertained not quite derision that helps build a faith in the non-dancing ways…

"Flam" kicks off with a cinematic drone, followed by what sounds like water torture droplets, and a cacophony of clocks, and music boxes from childhood, and maybe something underwater. Something like a title arrives on the aural screen as GTD get down to the kind of business we love them for: that querying conversation between Steve Gunn’s guitar and John Truscinski’s drums and percussion, though here they venture into new territory, as Steve explains— “This 'Flam' session was open and experimen…

Soft Focus is a collaboration of Jimi Tenor , Lary7 and Mia Theodoratus. The album was recorded in NYC, at Lary7's legendary all-analogue studio Plastikville. Lary7 is a collector of historical synthesizers and percussion instruments that are extensively used in the making of this album. Mia Theodoratus lays down a hypnotic harp foundation on the compositions and Jimi Tenor caps them with exotic flute melodies. Soft Focus is evocative of the early Moondog albums. This record is for the hardcore …

Strong music is timeless. Ofelia was produced 20 years ago, the demo was lying in a drawer for 18 years until last autumn I found it again. And today it sounds as contemporary as made last night. The album makes a Finnish version of Dreams Less Sweet by Psychic TV brought to mad 21-century. 80's industrial sounds blend with neo classical parts and contemporary drone music ending up to insane Dada-piece Ofelia.

Tip! Jim O'Rourke and Jos Smolders teamed up again after their first collaboration, Additive Inverse from 2021. Over a period of three years, both artists worked in sessions of a day, each in their own studio.The result is sometimes like a warm cloud of sounds, suddenly breaking up into a rhythmic, irregular pattern, after which it dives into introverted mindsets. The music is in constant flux. The project followed the same workflow, but this time Jim took the lead and kicked off with a salvo of…

Debut album by X, the 1980 Los Angeles punk landmark produced by Ray Manzarek of The Doors, with the twin vocals of John Doe and Exene Cervenka. Remastered by Jason Ward for the 2019 Fat Possum reissue.

Fugazi's second EP, recorded in December 1988 at Southern Studios in London with John Loder during the band's first European tour: six songs later joined with 7 Songs on 13 Songs. Dischord 12" on translucent green vinyl.

Half Speed Master Edition On Roxy Music's debut, the tensions between Brian Eno and Bryan Ferry propelled their music to great, unexpected heights, and for most of the group's second album, For Your Pleasure, the band equals, if not surpasses, those expectations. However, there are a handful of moments where those tensions become unbearable, as when Eno wants to move toward texture and Ferry wants to stay in more conventional rock territory; the nine-minute "The Bogus Man" captures such creative…

Big Beat From Badsville by The Cramps, released 6 June 2013, includes the following tracks: "It Thing Hard-On", "Sheena's In A Goth Gang", "Monkey With Your Tail", "Super Goo" and more. This version of Big Beat From Badsville comes as a 1xLP.

Originally released on Big Beat in 1986, “A Date With Elvis” is a stone-cold Cramps classic that has never been out of print and introduced generations of music fans to the Cramps' unique musical voodoo A return to the racks for our much-loved orange vinyl pressing This is a date you simply cannot miss

The work of Jorge Eduardo Eielson (Lima 1924 - Milán 2006) in the fields of visual and sound poetry has been conspicuously absent from the international anthologies pertaining to these disciplines. One of the reasons of this absence may be the limited circulation of this side of his broad and complex output as a poet and visual artist. In the past few years, though, this aspect of his work has become better known, and can now be seen, in its own right, as a valuable contribution to the developme…

Japanese 200 gram vinyl edition. Totally essential LP re-release for the first collaboration between Robert Fripp and Brian Eno in over 30 years, that nearly equals the effuse beauty of their celebrated 70s works. "Ambient is a spacious, electronic music that is concerned with sonic texture, not songwriting or composing," says the All-Music Guide. That seems reasonable, although I suspect Brian Eno might take issue with the notion that his music is somehow unconcerned with composition. As wit…

Naissoo Freeform Quintet is a vivid exploration of jazz improvisation and collective creativity, recorded by Estonian keyboardist and composer Tõnu Naissoo and a handpicked ensemble of accomplished local musicians. Captured during two highly spontaneous sessions in Tallinn in July 2024, the album foregrounds the chemistry of the quintet - with Naissoo’s Rhodes, Moog Source, and ARP Odyssey providing the core, and enhanced by the agile bass work of Mihkel Mälgand, the resonant bass clarinet of Me…

On Fire in Orbit, Hill Collective sharpen their Brighton‑born spiritual jazz into its most expansive form yet: loose‑limbed, witty and rough‑edged, but guided by a collective instinct that lets every groove breathe and slowly catch fire.

Huuuge Tip! In the pantheon of classic free jazz, Noah Howard's The Black Ark looms large. Recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City in 1969 - just prior to the alto saxophonist's relocation to Europe - the album was eventually released in 1972 on Alan Bates's Freedom label, and has since acquired near-mythical status among collectors and devotees of the music. Now, Superior Viaduct presents the definitive remastered edition on vinyl, restoring this landmark to the visibility it has always…
