Alles Ist Gut
**2022 Repress ** Stripped down to the core duo of Robert Görl and Gabi Delgado and with Conny Plank again behind the boards with crisp, focused production, with Alles Ist Gut (Everything Is Fine) DAF turned into an honest-to-goodness German hit machine, as detailed in the 1998 Mute reissue's liner notes by Biba Kopf. Even more important and impressive was how they did it -- keeping the electronic brutality that characterized them, but stripped down to nothing but Görl's massive drumming, elect…
Muschelsammlung
Weaving a singular brand of DIY Minimalism, intertwining elements of folk, musique concrète, ambient, and electroacoustic music, Brannten Schnüre return to center stage with a due repress of what is widely regarded as their most impressive full-length release, “Muschelsammlung”, originally released in 2017 on Dutch label Vrystaete in a micro-edition of 150 copies. Laying the groundwork for the singular sonic landscapes that we've all come to adore, it's an absolutely stunning and engrossing piec…
Different Rooms
Different Rooms is a collection of songs and musical motifs we composed, edited, and collaged in the weeks between late 2024 and early 2025. Most of the recorded material was performed during that editing process, except for live performances taken from improvisations we recorded with Jeff Parker and Josh Johnson some time in 2023. In our typical process, much of our material is collaged and combines moments of live improvisation, field recordings, and in-studio experimentation. This record, how…
Bananamour
New remastered vinyl release of the classic 1973 album by Kevin Ayers. Features Robert Wyatt, Steve Hillage and Mike Ratledge. Remastered from the original master tapes cut at Abbey Road Studios. A founder member of Soft Machine, Kevin embarked on a solo career in 1969, signing to EMI’s Harvest label, for whom he would record a series of wonderful and stylistically eclectic albums. ‘Bananamour’ was Kevin’s final album for Harvest during his first tenure with the label and the sessions were under…
Ad Hoc
Repressed! Black recycled vinyl with offset-printed covers. 'This recording was done on a four track tape recorder. Meaning the process of recording was a bit different this time around. Most of the tracks had to be recorded more or less in one take all the way through which means more room for mistakes. As I didn't have the ctrl-z option of the computer I had to try and fix my mistakes by turning them into features. This problem solving on the fly approach is why I'm calling the record ad hoc'…
Bamboo Noodles
With Bamboo Noodles, Organic Pulse Ensemble (the one-man project of Gustav Horneij) serves up four deep, groove-laden tracks built around bamboo flute improvisations, blending spiritual jazz, Eastern flavors, and infectious rhythms
Sens Radiants
2014 release ** "Recorded at the Écouter pour l’Instant Festival in the summer of 2013, Sens Radiants showcases an hour-long performance of Lazro on baritone saxophone, Duboc on bass, and Lasserre on a stripped-down drum kit. In true European tradition, the trio has always presented a music that seems completely divorced from any of free improvisation’s jazz heritage. Like Portant Les Cimes Des Arbres, Sens Radiants is steeped in rhythm, though not of the toe-tapping, beat-counting sort. There’s…
A World Behind This World
A composed soundscape created from sounds recorded on location at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop, Lumsden and the surrounding areas. Originally produced for SSW’s radio station Lumsden Live in 2021. This is a condensed, reworked version created specifically for this release. As well as the rural environment, recordings of various machines, equipment and processes from the workshop feature heavily. 'Performed' by Eden Jolly sound sources include the copper guillotine, furnaces, extractor fans, e…
Harras
1995 release (no OBI) ** "A stellar trio of free improvisers, each respective kings of the avant-garde jazz scene in different capacities. British improvisation legend Derek Bailey has played with practically every musician of note in the European improvised music community from the early '60s through to the end of the century and is arguably one of the single most important practitioners in the genre. John Zorn is similarly an extraordinarily influential figure in the American avant-garde music…
Akhenaton
1994 release ** "Zao should need no introduction for progressive fusion fans, as they were one of France's best groups of the 70s, releasing five albums, four of them essential listens. While Zao has reformed occasionally since 1977 for the occasional live show, they haven't released an album with Yochk'o Seffer (sax, ex-Magma, Perception, Speed Limit, Neffesh Music) and Francois "Faton" Cahen (keys, ex- Magma) together since the classic Kawana. Due to good sales of their reissued CDs (Kawana, S…
On Tour
2011 release ** "Stemming from the homonymous biennial festival in the Czech Republic, Ostravská Banda – with its twenty musicians – thrives under the direction of Peter Kotik, a veteran of unconventional orchestration and artistic director of the S.E.M. Ensemble in New York City. Standing out among the large group is Joseph Kubera – a name already referenced in a contemporary context – a talented pianist with a resume rich with collaborations with masters such as Alvin Lucier, Robert Ashley, Mo…
Pressing News: British Music As It Happened 1962-1972 (Book)
Hardcover Edition, large format. A treasure trove of rare information and imagery, Pressing News is the latest book by Richard Morton Jack, author of Nick Drake: The Life, Labyrinth, Psychedelia, Galactic Ramble and Endless Trip. A huge number of new records came out in the UK every week in the 1960s and 70s, many of them accompanied by press releases. These offered important and fascinating information but were almost all discarded, meaning that very few have survived. The product of decades of…
Arrhythmian
For their fifth collaboration Marc Barreca and Kerry Leimer set aside their more abstract creative approaches to composition in favor of basing the music of Arrhythmian on beats. Using rhythm as texture, the tracks gravitate to concussive and bass voices, high bpm rates, and constantly evolving timbres shaped by granular synthesis, sampling, heavy processing, audio manipulation, rich distortion, with the maximum dynamic range vinyl can offer. “We’re always thinking about sound quality, about wha…
Our Kind Of Sabi
Recorded in Japan during a tour in 1970. Featuring famous French musicians Eddie Louiss on organ and Daniel Humair on drums. A classy trio album with Louiss’ superb Hammond organ play front and center and a glimmering of the Caribbean dancing in the shadows.
Arv & Miljö
Biiig Tip! Edition of 300. The LP comes with a 12-page booklet. The final album from Arv & Miljö consists of two sidelong pieces based almost entirely on field recordings. The recordings roughly span from 2014 to 2024 and were primarily recorded in Gothenburg, capturing life-affirming moments from an intense decade through snippets from endless summer nights out, great people desperately wanting more from life, hazy underground culture encounters and just random, confusing everyday nonsense that…
Real Time One
** Edition of 250 copies, remastered from the original master tapes ** Real Time is an extraordinary example of interaction between musicians coming from different worlds of new music. I had the chance to perform with those two great musicians on other occasions: in duo with Alvin Curran and in duo, trio and sextet with Evan Parker. Alvin came from the American school, full of minimalist references, melodic structures and open to all kinds of contamination. Evan had left jazz to accomplish his o…

Ballet Etudes
Recorded at the 1962 Jazz Jamboree festival in Warsaw and originally released in 1963 on Danish Metronome label, here's a true gem from one of the most important figures in Polish music and a founding father of European Jazz. "Ballet Etudes" was one of the three full LPs released during Komeda' short lifetime. His fluent modern jazz conception was a perfect synthesis between the American influence and the European harmonic complexity, a unique kind of marriage colored by a clear Slavic lyricism.…
Lucha Libre
*200 copies limited edition* Valentina Magaletti flies solo again with 4 impeccable post-punk / dub / wave infused workouts. The lo-fi and forlorn And There Is Us opens the set with awkward drum machine, twinkly piano notes, and analogue synth tones sitting under echoing voices which carry across to Noiaz with its rolling, drill-like drum patterns. Lotta on the B side gets busier with guitar, field recordings and a laid-back groove before the pace picks up for the closing track Drum Jump where a…
