This Is the Right Path
Tip! *350 copies limited edition* “ Dec. 2015: I received an invitation from Old Heaven to participate with FaUSt to the 3rd edition of “Tomorrow Festival” at B10 Live, Shenzhen, China! A few months later, May 2016, we were on our way to the most exciting concert experience. A loooong flight-haul and then, such a warm welcome, such a perfect organization… the most charming, dedicated, competent crew around us… the largest cement mixer I ever used on stage, and an audience so vibrant, so focused.…
Krautrock Eruption – An Introduction To German Electronic Music 1970-1980
Krautrock, what is it anyway? A genre, a derogative term, a song by Faust, … or: a welcome (and recurring) opportunity to talk about all of this. The music associated with the term in question has eagerly been canonized. From the enthusiastic and idiosyncratic ramblings of Julian Cope’s “Krautrocksampler” to encyclopaedic approaches like Alan and Stephen Freeman’s “Crack in the Cosmic Egg”, there are plenty of books to read and lists to discuss: Who’s in, who isn’t? The quarrels and disputes sur…
Synths, Sax & Situationists (Music From The French Underground 1973-78)
France's near-revolution of May '68 kicked the country's small but vibrant counter-culture into overdrive and birthed a local underground music scene. The bands it spawned made music with far less rock purity than groups from the UK and US - their influences foregrounded improvisation, disjunction and genre-blending: Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, free jazz and radical politics. The introduction of the synthesiser in the early 1970s added fuel to the fire. This six-track compilation inau…

Newly re-mastered for vinyl, this is a masterpiece of a gem of a disc that deserves to be called the 2020s version of "Ka…

The Library Archive Vol. 4
ATA Records delivers another essential chapter in their meticulous Library Archive series. Volume 4 represents a sophisticated understanding of library music's golden era, when masters like David Shire and Roger Webb defined cinematic instrumental music. This is authentic homage executed with both reverence and creative vision.
The production showcases the full palette of classic library instrumentation: Hammond & Farfisa organs provide the foundational textures, while vibraphone and the distinc…
Música Electroacústica Mexicana
*200 copies limited edition* In 1984, Música Electroacústica Mexicana was released as the third volume in the series Colección Hispano-Mexicana de Música Contemporánea, co-curated by Antonio Russek and artist Ángel Cósmos. This anthology served as a tableau of the contemporary state of Mexican electroacoustic music, featuring works by Russek, Raúl Pavón Sarrelangue, Roberto Morales Manzanares, and Vicente Rojo Cama. It marked the first-ever electroacoustic music release from Mexico. Although exp…
L'Empire Des Sons
An elusive cult gem resurfaces through Glossy Mistakes. Originally released in 1986, L'Empire Des Sons is an otherworldly blend of synth pop, folk experimentation, and cinematic percussive layers-dreamlike, poetic, and wildly ahead of its time. L'Empire Des Sons was a fleeting yet powerful transmission from the fringes of the French underground-an album that blurred genre lines and evaded easy classification. Fusing experimental folk, lo-fi synth pop, and avant-garde textures, the record exists …
Contemporary African-Amerikan Music
Stunning conscious avant-garde free jazz featuring Roland P. Young originally released in 1975 on the eclectical 1750 Arch records.
Awofofora
On Awofofora, Marion Brown folds funk, reggae and Afro‑Caribbean rhythm into his mature structural language, using grooves not as decoration but as architecture for golden‑toned alto lines and quietly radical collective improvisation.
The Ancients
Bomb! The debut recording by The Ancients, the intergenerational coalition of Isaiah Collier, William Hooker and William Parker formed by Parker to play concerts in conjunction with the Milford Graves' “A Mind-Body Deal” exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and now a working group. Across 2LPs of side-length long-form improvised sets recorded at 2220 Arts & Archives in LA and The Chapel in San Francisco, The Ancients bring the free jazz trio languages first explored by t…
Perseverance Flow
Fifteen years in, Joshua Abrams and his Natural Information Society have stopped trying to impress anyone and started building something genuinely necessary. Perseverance Flow strips away the expanded lineups of recent efforts, returning to the core quartet—Lisa Alvarado on harmonium, Mikel Patrick Avery on drums, Jason Stein on bass clarinet, and Abrams on guimbri—for one continuous 37-minute meditation that feels less like composed music than a natural phenomenon you've stumbled upon.
This isn…
Since Time Is Gravity

Since Time Is Gravity, credited to Natural Information Society Community Ensemble with Ari Brown, presents a newly expanded manifestation of acclaimed composer & multi-instrumentalist Joshua Abrams nearly 15 year, 7 albums &-counting flagship ensemble.

The 75-…
August 1974
180g double LP, newly remastered, lacquer cut by Rashad Becker, with liner notes by Julian Cowley. Four side-long improvisations recorded in a single day - 19 August 1974, Nippon Columbia Studio, Tokyo. Licensed from Nippon Columbia. Some records are made. This one was tuned into. On a single August day in 1974, eight musicians walked into a Tokyo studio and, instead of performing, set a process running - and ninety minutes of slow oceanic drift came out the other end, sounding less composed tha…
Chet Baker Sings
10" coloured vinyl edition. Ten tracks drawn from the 1954-56 Pacific Jazz sessions. Chet Baker Sings is a record that arrived too early for its own audience. In 1954 a twenty-four-year-old trumpet player set down his horn, leaned close to the microphone, and sang as if confiding something he wasn't sure he wanted overheard. What the era received as a flaw - a voice too soft, too high, too undefended for a man - is exactly what now sounds like the future turning up ahead of schedule.
There is al…
Racional Vol 1 + 2
Two of the strangest and most beautiful records in all of Brazilian music, reunited. Recorded in a single burst in 1974 and issued the following year on Tim Maia's own short-lived imprint Seroma, Racional Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 are the sound of one of soul's great voices at the height of his powers and in the grip of a profound transformation. Long among the most coveted and elusive artifacts in the Brazilian canon, the two volumes are offered here together as a 2LP bundle.

Mechanization I & II
On this new LP Harry Bertoia shows why he may have been the first industrial musician. Bertoia often referred to his sound sculptures as a "collaboration with industry" and on this new LP Bertoia is intentionally creating heavy, rhythmic music he described as "mechanized," "mechanical" and "factory like." This first edition is packaged in a full color sleeve with metallic inks. Mastered by Tom Eaton at Sounds & Substance.
Recorded in 1971, percussion and repetition emulate the pounding rhythms …
