Sir John Alot Of Merrie Englandes Musyk Thyng & Ye Grene Knyghte
Perhaps the most influential album from one of the true masters of British acoustic guitar. Released in 1968 on Transatlantic, Sir John Alot finds John Renbourn taking a magnificent journey back through time - not as scholarly reconstruction, but as living, breathing music that collapses centuries into a single candle-lit room.
Renbourn (1944-2015) had already established himself as one half of the most formidable guitar duo in any style - his partnership with Bert Jansch yielding the landmark B…
Celui Où Y'A Joseph
With his fourth album, released in 1983 on Le Chant du Monde, Albert Marcœur ventures into darker territories than ever before. Nearly five years had passed since Armes et Cycles, time enough for new currents to seep into his singular musical vision - most notably the chamber-of-horrors atmospherics of Belgian avant-prog architects Univers Zero and Present.
The core ensemble remains largely intact - Pierre Vermeire (harmonium, viola, cello, E♭ clarinet, flugelhorn, trombone), brothers Gérard and…
Armes & Cycles
If you're looking for something genuinely unique from 1970s France, don't forget to include Albert Marcœur on your list alongside Magma, Moving Gelatine Plates and Etron Fou Leloublan. Born in Dijon in 1947, Marcœur studied clarinet at the National Academy of Music and Dance before deciding he wished "to do nothing else but make my own music" - and what music it turned out to be.
Often cited as the French Zappa, the comparison only goes so far. Where Zappa maintained accessibility beneath his co…
Death May Be Your Santa Claus
If there were a hall of fame for underground weirdo freak bands, Second Hand would be among the first nominees. Their second album, released on April 1st 1971 through Vic Keary's Mushroom Records, is no joke - it's one of the most unhinged, inventive and genuinely strange records to emerge from the British progressive underground.
Second Hand began life as The Next Collection in South London in 1965, with teenage school-friends Ken Elliott (keyboards, mellotron, harmonica) and Kieran O'Connor (d…
Porto Novo
2025 stock Altoist Marion Brown is perhaps best known for performances on albums by his contemporaries, such as Coltrane's Ascension, but Brown stands on his own as one of the most creative and important forces to come out of the 1960s avant-garde jazz movement. Porto Novo is widely regarded as one of Brown's best recordings, captured during a 1967 session in Holland at the peak of his creative powers, accompanied by bassist Maarten van Regteben Altena and drummer Han Bennink. Previously out of …
Paradieswarts Duul
LP version. Ohr present a reissue of Amon Düül's Paradieswärts Düül, originally released in 1971. In 1968, the Münchner Kommune, formed in 1967, had applied to Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser, the organizer of the Essen Songtage, for a gig there. When the Düüls arrived in Essen, already two bands of this name in the meantime, since three members had split off and now called themselves Amon Düül II. Paradieswärts Düül was released in 1971, it's the third album of this outfit. Transferred from the original ana…
معليش = Malesch
Their debut, pensive and relaxed. A masterpiece, originally released on Vertigo. A vinyl re-release of the debut-album by legendary krautrock avant garde band Agitation Free. "Not willing to compromise, and heavily into the avant-garde (many members studied with the influential Thomas Kessler) it took a long while until Agitation Free got an album out. By that time they had developed a cosmic styled rock with a strong ethnic element. Although in the spirit of Ash Ra Tempel and Pink Floyd, they h…
Psychedelic Underground
Temporary reduced price. LP version. 180 gram vinyl, gatefold sleeve. The debut album from the original Amon Düül commune collective, released in 1969, stands as one of the most radical and uncompromising documents of the entire German underground scene. This is not Amon Düül II - this is the larger, more chaotic collective that spawned the more structured offshoot, and Psychedelic Underground captures their approach in all its raw, untamed glory.
Recorded in a single marathon session, the albu…
Lapsikuninkaan Fanfaari
Juho Toivonen's third album navigates memory's fluid terrain through off-key piano, tape loops, and spectral melodies. Featuring Ramo Sinnemäki's trumpet, this Nordic ambient masterwork recalls Basinski while exploring childhood fragments and imagined futures. Pure Scandinavian melancholy—essential contemporary ambient.
Lovely Midget
A long time in the works vinyl edition of one of our favorite New Zealand albums. Rachel Shearers astonishing debut as Lovely Midget was originally released as a CD on Corpus Hermeticum in 2000. Mastered for vinyl by Giuseppe Ielasi and pressed in an edition of 500 copies, comes with insert.
"This self-titled disc was the first full-length Lovely Midget offering, which I released on Corpus Hermeticum as a CD only in May of 2000. It followed a 10” on Ecstatic Peace a couple of years earlier. Rach…
Voiceless Mass
Deluxe 2LP Three-sided with etched artwork on Side 4. Raven Chacon begins by listening. The Diné composer, born in Fort Defiance, Arizona within the Navajo Nation in 1977, describes himself simply as a listener, but the attention he gives to sound encompasses far more than what's immediately audible—it includes what has been deliberately silenced. Yucca Alta Records now presents the first vinyl edition of Voiceless Mass, a three-sided double LP featuring Chacon's 2022 Pulitzer Prize-winning titl…

Bhoot Ghar: Sounds of the Kathmandu Horror House
Bhoot Ghar: Sounds of the Kathmandu Horror House by Aaron Dilloway is a raw suite of field recordings captured inside a decaying Nepali fun‑park attraction. Blown speakers, mechanical screams, and ambient chaos fuse into a hallucinatory documentary of sound—half ethnography, half haunted collage.
Time Machine
Originally released in 1973, Dzyan’s second album "Time Machine" marked a shift from vocal prog-rock to a unique blend of jazz, ethnic, and acid-rock influences. Showcasing virtuosic musicianship, it stands as a pioneering work in German rock, ahead of its time.
Samtvogel
** 500 copies. Limited 50th Anniversary Edition. Red vinyl **Released on the legendary label 'Brain', Günter Schickert's debut Samtvogel (1975) was one of the most significant guitar albums of the Krautrock era. Points of comparison from today's perspective are Syd Barrett or Pink Floyd's more adventurous early recordings. Schickert's follow-up Überfällig of 1980 was released on the equally legendary 'Sky' label. Once again a milestone recording, it showcased Schickert's hypnotic echo guitar whi…
Blue Veil
Black vinyl. Edition of 700. The first release to document the solo cello work of musician and composer Lucy Railton, the 40-minute composition Blue Veil recorded at Église du Saint-Esprit in Paris invites listeners into the realm of precision-tuned states of resonance: states made manifest through Railton’s careful traversal of her cello's most subtle acoustic characteristics as they harmonically interlock with mind’s embodied modalities of attention and imagination. Blue Veil arises out of, is…

Until I Met You is pure acoustic music, a tapestry of dreamlike compositions with beautiful melodies that sees ambient music icon Midori Takada on grand piano…
New Morning
Collective interplay is essentially about listening and giving space. If ever there was a credo for this ensemble recording, this would be it. Sometimes the soloist or a small group steps forward, other times they play as a large unit. This collective of musicians are connected through old and new friendships, a set of relations that has been formed through two decades of co-creation on stage and in the studio, and their new recording is a reaffirmation of that with an A-side of free improvisati…
