Lines We Gather
Sarah Saviet [violin] and Joseph Houston [piano] formed their duo in 2019 through a mutual devotion to an intimate, powerful, and transcendental sound language created by the violin and piano. In this album, the Saviet/Houston Duo trace a path through a shifting landscape of melodic contour, with duos by Michael Finnissy, Rebecca Saunders/Enno Poppe, Lawrence Dunn, Iannis Xenakis, and their own collaborative composition. Each work reflects in different ways the intricate contradictions and the p…
When Only Shades Remain
Andrea Marutti (Amon and Never Known, among others) and Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh) have teamed up again for this new Hall of Mirrors monumental release. Textural, noisy, profound dark ambient with some pretty 'melodic' patterns hidden behind layered noises and evolving drones. Astonishing, to say the least.

La Lumiere Parfumee
2012 release ** Second edition finally available...This is a gem! The second album by Elodie, the duo project of Timo van Luijk & Andrew Chalk. While the debut album 'Echos Pastoraux' ( La Scie Doree) had the sentiments of a homely sketchbook memory,'La Lumiere Parfumee' is a new collection of eight pieces, bringing a more elaborate repertoire with delicate acoustic and electronic arrangements in an impressionistic pallette of pastel shades and shimmering opalescent rays. Packaged in handmade mi…
The Mystic Astrologic Crystal Band
2017 release ** A trippy 60s treasure from this groovy west coast group -- a cool quintet led by the fuzzy-headed Steve Hoffman -- who not only wrote some very unusual tunes for the combo, but also comes up with an equally unusual mix of instruments! The music is half psych, half sunshine pop -- the latter because many of the tunes have a very catchy vibe, and often feature group harmonies behind Steve's lead -- the former because there's some cool instrumental elements in the mix, including ele…
Farewell American Tour
2017 release ** Singer, actress, and priestess Sally Eaton was one of the most unique figures of the entire Californian psychedelic folk movement. Originally released by Paramount in 1970, this delightful album of lysergic pop—infused with Indian moods (the evident influence of Ravi Shankar set against a West Coast backdrop)—comes back to life today in the valuable digital reissue of Early Dawn.
Affectionate Fink
2017 release ** Monkey Dog present a reissue of Affectionate Fink from Harold McNair With Ornette Coleman's Sidemen, originally released in 1965. An incredible record from reedman Harold McNair - one of the key Jamaican jazz players who hit the London scene in the same post-colonial wave as Joe Harriott and Shake Keane - and a standout of the bunch. Harold's a hell of a talent on both tenor and flute. Although he might be best known for his background work on late '60s Donovan albums, he really …
The Ecstasy Of Gold: 23 Killer Bullets From The Spaghetti West (Vol. 1)
2018 release ** Named for the iconic Ennio Morricone composition, The Ecstasy of Gold: 23 Killer Bullets from the Spaghetti West, Vol. 1 is the first installment in a five-volume set of some of the grooviest deep cuts to come from the European Western movie craze of the '60s and '70s. Filled with plenty of reverb-drenched guitars, wailing horns, and plaintive vocals, this collection is a must-listen for fans of the glorious melodrama of spaghetti Western scores.
Emanation (1971)
Recorded 3rd June, 1971 at the Jazz Workshop, Boston. Sam Rivers - tenor and soprano saxophones, flute, piano, Cecil McBee - bass and Norman Connors - drums. "Musician discographies are like icebergs. Commercially released recordings often only represent a surface-visible and procurable fraction of actual output; a reflection of those comparatively few instances when resources, fortitude, and good fortune aligned to yield salable product. Samuel Carthorne Rivers situation was no different. Despi…

Chappaqua Suite (2CD)
1996 release (light wear) **
1965: Conrad Rooks commissions Ornette Coleman to score his film Chappaqua, then declines to use the music - reportedly because it was too beautiful and would overwhelm the images, which may be the most flattering rejection in the history of commissioned art. The unused score, with Pharoah Sanders in the ensemble and orchestral textures surrounding the trio, became this sprawling four-part suite: Ornette at his most expansive, the alto soaring and grieving over mass…
New York Eye And Ear Control (CD)
1992 release (light wear) ** July 1964: the soundtrack to Michael Snow's film, and one of the great collective improvisations ever recorded - a record whose influence runs so deep that entire schools of music stand on it without always knowing. Albert Ayler, Don Cherry, John Tchicai, Roswell Rudd, Gary Peacock and Sunny Murray, with no leader, no themes, no solo order, no safety net of any kind - just six master musicians building form out of pure attention. The blueprint for everything from the…
Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers With Thelonious Monk (CD)
1992 release (light wear) ** 1958, and a perfect match: Thelonious Monk sits in with Art Blakey's Messengers - Johnny Griffin and Bill Hardman in the front line - for a full program of Monk compositions. Blakey understood Monk's rhythm like few drummers ever have; the two go back to the foundational 1947 Blue Note sessions together, and that deep history is audible in every bar. Monk's angles and Blakey's shuffle lock together like old machinery that never rusted. Griffin, soon to join Monk's ow…
