**2025 Stock** In 1962, the world was buzzing with significant cultural and historical events. The Cuban Missile Crisis, a tense confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, had the entire globe on edge as the threat of nuclear war loomed large. On July 3, 1962, Algeria declared its independence from France after an eight-year war for independence. Meanwhile, the iconic musician Bob Dylan released his debut album, "Bob Dylan," which would go on to have a lasting impact on the mu…
Cleopatra's Songs
“Give me some music!” These words from Shakespeare’s Antony and Cleopatra, which open Cleopatra’s Songs, seem particularly well chosen to characterize Agata Zubel’s relationship to music. Music: a vital need, a thirst, but also something that you give.
This portrait album with three major works, performed by leading ensembles, including the Klangforum Wien and Ensemble intercontemporain, follows her receipt of the Erste Bank Kompositionspreis in 2018.
Temple IV
This is the first vinyl issue of Temple IV, arguably Roy Montgomery's finest solo album, originally released in 1996 on CD. The original album has been enhanced with two newer tracks that constitute side four of the album. Montgomery states: "The two new tracks recorded in 2018 were about asking the question "Can you step into the same river twice?" Heraclitus said you cannot. I say you can ..."

Rire / Laugh / Lachen
300 copies The record Rire, Ridere, Laugh, Lachen comes from the homonymous piece about laughing as laughing of the Berlin artist Antonia Baehr. In front of a score and with her hands on the turntable, Baehr explores this expression as a sovereign entity, in separation from causal baggage; jokes, tickles, narrative, humor, joy, looking at the thing itself: the sound and shape, the music, choreography and drama, the rhythm and the gesture of laughter. For the listener, contamination is an unavoi…
Aral Sea Stories

Aral Sea Stories explores the question, “What can we learn of water uses and abuses by listening to their sounds?” It…
Für Alina
Compilation of Mississippi's favorite Arvo Part pieces. All sparse and beautiful arrangements. Some solo piano pieces, some duets with piano, violin cello and viola and one string quartet. The pieces on this record are all unique to the style of Arvo Part—deceptively simple compositions that force you to live in the moment you are listening to them. A Part quote from the back of the record: "You can kill people with sound. And if you can kill, then maybe there is also the sound that is op…

She works with found sounds, objects and electronics, creating auditory assemblages that reveal a profound sensitivity to sound’s tactile potential.

Touch This Fragrant Surface of Earth has its roots in a tape piece presented at Lamp…
African Jazz Invites O.K. Jazz
The evolution of Congolese popular music in the 1960s and 70s is generally classified into two major schools: African Jazz & OK Jazz. The main representatives of those schools are Joseph Kabasele alias Grand Kallé, founder of African Jazz, and Franco Luambo, co-founder of O.K. Jazz. Two temperaments and ambiances, one commonly referred to as ‘fiesta’, the other as ‘odemba’, both seeking their own sublimity or ideal.
For the very first time, a compilation brings together explicitly the main prota…
Take A Look Outside
This is the fourth, and until now, unreleased album by Kapingbdi, a six-piece band from West Africa, which billed itself as “African Jazz-Funk-Rock from Liberia”.

In January 1985 and shortly before the group disbanded, they recorded nine tracks for an aborted LP project at Masterpiece studio in Detroit, U.S.A. In 2019 the music was carefully remastered from the original 24-track master tape. For Kapi…
