I'm Sure We're Gonna Make It - Punk In The Netherlands 1976-1982 (Book)
'I'm sure we're gonna make it' is the first time English edition of the 1996 book 'Het gejuich was massaal', detailing punk in the Netherlands from 1976 to 1982 from Jeroen Vedder and Jerry Goossens. It is also the first time, as far as I know, that there is an English language book on the subject. There is a foreword by Richard Forster, and Hubert van Hoof updated his 1996 intro to a 2021 version. This book is 184 pages, with full-colour photos, record covers, a fanzine section, and all of this…

The Music of Butterfly
More than two decades since he blew minds with a suite of brilliant releases on Warp, Vincent Gallo returns to the world of music at long last in Butterfly, his duo with Harper Simon, with the project’s full-length debut, “The Music of Butterfly”. A gesture of gentle, DIY / bedroom left-field pop, falling within the rough territory for which Gallo became renowned during the late '90s and early 2000s, while interweaving fascinating flirtations with minimalism and experimentalism, it’s a truly ca…
I Can't Promise
Recorded between August 24, 1983 and September 9, 1984.
Ethnic Expressions
Tip! Groovy, spiritual, and oh so, rare, this live album by drummer Roy Brooks is one of the best to ever come out of the spiritual jazz scene. With a career spanning over 50 years and collaborations with artists like Horace Silver, Stanley Turrentine, Yusef Lateef, and Charles Mingus, Roy Brooks was a foundation and leading force of the jazz scene throughout his entire storied life. As one of the most talented drummers of any generation, Brooks would lead his own group, the Artistic Truth, and …
Leave Another Day
New Repress. Low-lit, introspective, grey-scale indie from Belgian artist Milan W for Nosedrip’s indispensable Stroom label. Harnessing that tricky to articulate ‘down but not out’ aesthetic that’s so key to the Stroom label, Milan’s beautifully crafted songs seep with a strong feeling of bittersweet heartbreak, sorrow and contemplation. It’s a faultless suite of spindly / spangled indie-pop gems laced with shimmering hooks, warm flourishes of melody and endearingly accented English vocals that…
And The Waters Opened
*2024 stock* A truly astounding piece of work that towers on its own in the history Krautrock and Kosmische, reissue of Between's 1972 masterstroke, "And the Waters Opened", levels the playing-field and melts the mind with its sounds. First released in Vertigo in 1972 and often regarded as Between's most exotic and beautiful opus, it is a huge droning masterpiece with oriental nuances that might recall Popol Vuh, Fripp and Eno or Taj Mahal Travellers. A classic album from the early German 1970s …
This Piano Thing
1998 release ** "This Piano Thing is, in some ways, an answer to questions and problems raised by my composition Piano Mechanics . These problems deal both with an evolution of piano technique and a redefinition of the piano as a machine for the ‘synthesis’ of ‘new’ sounds. When Piano Mechanics is performed live in concert, the unusual acoustical effects emerging from a solo unamplified and unaltered piano form an impression to the audience that some trickery is taking place. In almost every per…
Music For Stanford
2004 release ** "Dexter George Morrill (1938-2019) was a composer, trumpet player, and professor of music best known for his collaboration with jazz saxophonist, Stan Getz during the premiere of 'Getz Variations for tenor saxophone and tape' (1984); a Morrill composition which merged jazz improvisation with computer-generated sounds. In his early years, he studied trumpet with Dizzy Gillespie at the Lenox School of Jazz, and later composition with Leonard Ratner and orchestration with Leland Smi…
Agartha
1991 release ** "Along with its sister recording, Pangaea, Agharta was recorded live in February of 1975 at the Osaka Festival Hall in Japan. Amazingly enough, given that these are arguably Miles Davis' two greatest electric live records, they were recorded the same day. Agharta was performed in the afternoon and Pangaea in the evening. Of the two, Agharta is superior. The band with Davis -- saxophonist Sonny Fortune, guitarists Pete Cosey (lead) and Reggie Lucas (rhythm), bassist Michael Hender…
Musiques Trans Alpines Vol. 2
1990 release ** Music by young French-Italian composers or performers of contemporary music: Griffith Rose, Enrico Correggia, Fabrizio De Rossi Re, Giulio Castagnoli, Mauro Cardi.
No Fidelity Audio
1998 release ** Limited edition of 500 hand-numbered copies. "Cut-up, lo-fi electronics. Ambient, drone, modern classical. Foom (no reference to the old Marvel Comics fan club) is a catch-all name for musical projects by Boston's Whitehaus Family peripheral member Chris Lichatz. His solo output dates back to the 1990's, and ranges from the demented blues-based Butthole Surferisms of 1994's Six of My Favorite Turds (Stomachache Records) to the abstract lo-fi electronics of 1998's self-released No…
A Companion As Glamorous As Sleeping On Wheels
2003 release ** "Not only did Julian Bradley (of Vibracathedral Orchestra) adopt the hilariously cumbersome moniker A Companion as Glamorous as Sleeping on Wheels to use in place of (and/or in addition to?) his own name, he also released this album under his own name, with ACAGASOW as it's title. Lots of shorter pieces here, recorded between 1997 and 2000, released as a CD by the Belgian label Veglia."
The Blue Horse
2025 stock ** Sholto Dobie is an artist and performer born in Edinburgh and living in London. His solo output is marked by live performances that are characteristically delicate, evocative, and absurd. He uses his own instruments, crudely assembled from materials such as reeds, whistles, bin bags, fans, and air compressors, alongside loose performative structures, to respond to places and situations. He plays in Al Fresco (with Lia Mazzari and Tom White) and regularly collaborates with Ben Pritc…
Archive Series (5LP Box)
* Edition of 300 numbered copies * The Sam Rivers Archive Series looks to be a beautiful physical manifestation of the love and respect that NoBusiness Record's Danas Mikailionis has for NYC loft era free jazz (we're working with PDFs and digital files but I, for one, have my copy on pre-order!). Over the years, NoBusiness has been dedicated to unearthing and releasing long-unheard music from a number of musicians (like Peter Kuhn, Billy Bang, Jameel Moondoc, among others) and quite notably, in …

Delog
2008 release ** "With the album "Delog" Jaroslaw Wierny continues his journey within the mysteries of tantric Tibetan Buddhism. Conceptually the album looks at the near death experience, where the soul is free to visit other mysterious realms, looking beyond the constraints and boundaries of our own world and perhaps offering an opportunity to find quick enlightenment. Musically this sits somewhere in the borderland between dark ambient and more droney lengthy ambient à la Oöphoi. The music has …
Bospaadje Konijnehol I
1992 release ** Misha Mengelberg's large ensemble, the ICP Orchestra, wends its way here through a program in three parts. Following the brief, whimsical title piece (helpfully translated as "Forest Path Rabbithole I"), the band launches into a series of loose, decidedly off-liter takes on Ellington, generally tackling the real war-horses. Mengelberg's approach is always oblique at best, however, so even as the band sounds semi-traditional in one respect, the harmonies and written elaborations o…
Clear Light
2025 stock ** "The band is from Los Angeles, it turns out -- a promising sign considering the vibrant Californian scene of the time. Then, upon first listen, the first fuzzed-out rocker sends the listener's soul into a state of simmering excitement; the further one explores this piece of morning maniac music the more the colorful aspects of the band's creativity enchant. Dark -- or at least gruff -- rock tunes with heavy fuzz guitar alternate with melodic tunes that feature lush, clean guitar ha…
