Roundtrip
Tip, sold out at source! After more than 45 years forgotten in the personal archives of Jean Schwarz, Transversales Disques is very happy to release this previously unpublished recording which brings together the great Don Cherry and his friend, composer Jean Schwarz, pioneer in electro-acoustic music and member of G.R.M. This concert was recorded in 1977 at the Paris MIX festival (Théatre Récamier) organised by G.R.M and hosted by director François Bayle. An elegant mix of spiritual jazz and el…

Demon & Eleven Children
Blues Creation’s seminal album, "Demon & Eleven Children," stands as a landmark of Japanese rock history, pioneering the proto-metal genre from the East. Released on August 25, 1971 by Denon, this album marks Blues Creation’s first full-length venture into original songwriting and showcases the explosive creative energy of guitarist and bandleader Kazuo Takeda.
Featuring a transformed lineup—including Hiromi Osawa on vocals, Masashi Saeki on bass, and Masayuki Higuchi on drums—the band evolved f…
Photophonie
Since their launch in 2017, the Paris based imprint, Transversales Disques, has done the seemingly impossible. Not only have they carved out an entirely singular place in the contemporary landscape of reissues and archival releases, but they’ve raised the bar. Largely focusing on previously unreleased recordings and works, one after another, they’ve built an astounding catalog of efforts by seminal artists like Bernard Parmegiani, Philip Glass, François Bayle, Ennio Morricone, Igor Wakhevitch, a…

Improvisations On The Grand Piano
Aleksandra Ionowa (1899–1980) was a Finnish-Russian artist, mystic, and largely self-taught pianist whose music feels like a transmission from another realm.
To Blue From Grey in May
Misha Panfilov, the Estonian composer whose name has become synonymous with space-age exotica and cinematic soundscapes, withdraws once more into the solitude of his studio and emerges with To Blue From Grey In May – a profound meditation on sound, time, and seasonal transformation. Recorded amid the ever-changing light and shadows of Tallinn between March and May 2025, this new album stands as a testament to complete immersion in the creative process. Here, Panfilov threads himself into the ver…
Béke
“Peace is not the word to play” rapped Large Professor on Main Source’s 1991 debut album. His plea to stop abusing the word “peace” simply for rhetoric flair sounds just as valid in today’s genocidal world as it did in the streets of New York over 30 years ago. For Oiro Pena to name this album Béke, meaning peace in Hungarian – or white people in French Caribbean creole – it seems like they finally have something to say. With this group/concept/project called Oiro Pena, circling as a creative vo…

Blue Voice
Announcing Blue Voice, a playful yet unsettling 7-inch by Luke Calzonetti built from distorted cartoon voice-over outtakes — warped, abstract tone-poems that teeter between humor, chaos, and sonic sabotage. Pressed on white vinyl with a blue Pantone sleeve.
Invite Your Eye
With drummer Kenny Wollesen (Tom Waits, John Zorn, Norah Jones) and Dave Harrington (of electronic duo Darkside) guitar/bass/electronics, New York-based Swedish/Turkish saxophonist, composer, club-label owner Ilhan Ersahin captures the vibe of impromptu, cross-pollinating, and heavily grooving late-night jam sessions at Nublu, his “East Village Club where everything goes” (New York Times).
The telepathy and intuition that flows between these three musicians is one that has developed over many ye…
Fairport Convention
By far the most rock-oriented of Fairport Convention's early albums, this debut was recorded before Sandy Denny joined the band (Judy Dyble handles the female vocals). Unjustly overlooked by listeners who consider the band's pre-Denny output insignificant, this is a fine folk-rock effort that takes far more inspiration from West Coast '60s sounds than traditional British folk. Fairport's chief strengths at this early juncture were the group's interpretations, particularly in the harmony vocals, …
What We Did On Our Holidays
Sandy Denny's haunting, ethereal vocals gave Fairport a big boost on her debut with the group. A more folk-based album than their initial effort, What We Did on Our Holidays is divided between original material and a few well-chosen covers. This contains several of their greatest moments: Denny's "Fotheringay," Richard Thompson's "Meet on the Ledge," the obscure Joni Mitchell composition "Eastern Rain," the traditional "She Moves Through the Fair," and their version of Bob Dylan's "I'll Keep It …

Tip, very special package! *36 copies limited edition*
Reissue of a tape made by M.B. in 2013. Probably this is the most experimental side of Bianchi. It was recorded as a live improvisation in the stairs of a building in the Industrial Zone 1 in opera. Here M.B. is alone with his voice, tubular effects, mechanical percussions. The package is completely handmade with wire mesh, with an industrial sculpture made of corrugated pipe, tongs, screws and metal pieces, assembled to the wire mesh with e…
