Made In Japan
***2019 edition*** Absinthe Records present a reissue of Flower Travellin' Band's Made in Japan - originally released in 1972. Following critical acclaim but meager record sales in their native Japan after their superb debut album, Satori (ASH 3002CD/LP), Yuya Uchida and his Flower Travellin' Band decamped to Canada following an invitation to open for local jazz-rock outfit Lighthouse. While there, Lighthouse leader and keyboard player Paul Hoffert offered to produce the band's next studio album…
Saat
Recording in a good studio in 1972 with an accomplished engineer/musician such as Dieter Dierks (Ash Ra Tempel, Cosmic Jokers, Tangerine Dream, and yes, the Scorpions), certainly enabled Emtidi to expand their musical style on 'Saat.' The end result was a shimmering, lush cosmic folk trip, with multi-tracked and treated acoustic guitars plus electric piano, fragile angelic femme vocals, vibes, and mellotron, (punctuated by the occasional acid guitar solo). Yes, 'Saat' is an elevated cosmic folk …
Didi
"Argentinian pianist Fernando Gelbard's killer debut (and only) '74 LP. Didi is a potent mix of Fender Rhodes & Moog with scatting percussionists and fierce tenor sax -- Coltrane meets candombe!" Gatefold sleeve. "If I was asked to name some great Argentinian jazz musicians, I'd probably draw a blank after Gato Barbieri, but this rather nice slab of vinyl has added a couple more to the list. Fernando Gelbard played piano with tenorist Horacio Borraro, whose quartet peddled a fiery if unoriginal…
Resusitate
Italian secret project called Maurizio Delvecchio, released in 1986 as a private press. Minimal electronic music, odd and synthetic vibe.
Mark of the Devil I & II
One Way Static Records is proud to bring you their latest release, one where we had the chance to work with German composer Michael Holm. Mark Of The Devil was released in 1970 and is certainly a film that has achieved a real cult status, it is notorious and known by many horror fans for being given the first ever ‘V’ for violence certificate (or was it a ‘V’ for vomit, since vomit bags were handed out at screenings of the film). A sequel was also produced in 1973, both soundtracks are featured …
The Complete Paramount & Brunswick Recordings, 1929
From 1926 to 1930 one of the most popular rural string bands on record was Charlie Poole & The North Carolina Ramblers. Through their 78 RPM discs and their various performances, Charlie Poole was second only to Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers. Poole's uniquely syncopated three finger banjo picking style coupled with his Piedmont vocal inflections eventually colored and defined much of what we consider "old-time" music. The classic configuration of banjo, fiddle and guitar with vocals was enc…
Ροαξη Φινγερζζ ΒΣ. Ροψκ Σλινγερζζ
Sewn Leather is a trigger, a road warrior, the punk that can be smoked. Somewhere between Whitehouse nihilism, Wolf Eyes' high pitched suffocation and evil Prodigy rhythmology, Griifin Pyn re-invents the 21st century punk! On "Ροαξη Φινγερζζ ΒΣ. Ροψκ Σλινγερζζ", he offers his four latest (and yet cleanest) songs, soaked in battery acid, swallow-ready for the confusion generation. Sewn Leather is real.Edition of 200 copies w/ 1-color offset covers.
Fourth Dimension
Paddy Kingsland was the first Radiophonic composer to see a solo release of his compositions, although he is not credited on the sleeve. "Fourth Dimension", first released in 1973, showcased Kingsland's theme tunes for television and radio while at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. The recordings feature a rock-style backing band and synthesisers including the VCS 3 and "Delaware" Synthi 100, and the track "Reg" from the album was also released as the B side to the 1973 single release of the iconic …
Through a Glass Darkly
Two essential recordings from Radiophonic Workshop members Paddy Kingsland & Peter Howell get the reissue treatment on June 2nd with the vinyl only release of Kingsland's exceptional 1973 album Fourth Dimension, alongside fellow member Peter Howell's ARP synth opus, 1978's Through A Glass Darkly. Both of these albums have been crate diggers' gold for many years and are reissued for the very first time. The BBC Radiophonic Workshop came together in 1958 to produce music and sound effects for BBC …
Leuchtidioten
This new release features two 'rhythmic' tracks that were recorded during the 'Teilmengen' sessions (which appeared on CD as 'a-Menge' and 'b-Menge' on Ritornell) but were not used for these albums as Asmus Tietchens regarded them as too different to the other pieces and therefore decided to have them released on their own. Limited edition of 500 copies.

Toy Planet
Exact repro of this 1981 collaboration between Can's Irmin Schmidt and Swiss jazz and electronics pioneer Bruno Spoerri.A "mystifying" album, which came out initially on French label Celluloid in 1981. Many synthesizers and fancy analog sampling and effects equipment went into producing this, countless untold hours of painstaking attention to detail and at times over 100 individual layers of sound went into producing the textures and atmosphere behind them.
In 1968 Schmidt founded the expe…

Money Band
Collection gathers pre-Wooden Wand and the Vanishing Voice material from James Jackson Toth's Golden Calves project. Originally released in 1996; limited to 1000 copies. "It was really all about The Godz, Jandek, The Shadow Ring, Strapping Fieldhands, Swell Maps and Tower Recordings. Beyond these, I had only heard the 'classic' and most available free jazz, krautrock and noise albums. I was a long way from, say, the second Comus album or Charles Gayle. But this music changed my life. It was a re…
Velocimane / Çukurova
*Edition of 200* Chicago’s Haptic are often mistaken for drone musicians. Certainly sustained sounds, mostly of either electronic or percussive origin, are integral to their approach. The Medium opens with a spray of metallic resonance, probably courtesy of Necks drummer Tony Buck – nearly every Haptic concert features a fourth member – which doesn’t let up for another 19 minutes. Vibes criss-cross the shimmer, then a series of smaller sounds manifest; a slow bass pulse, an organ’s swell, the sh…
Hear Out!
A live recording from 2014 where the audience gets excited by the great powerfull free jazz produced by the duo comprised of Didier Lasserre (drum) & Jean-Luc Guionnet (saxophone alto). 300 copies.
Inferno
I was grinning from ear to ear when this little beauty popped through the letterbox, and that was before I even had it on the record deck. It features two long tracks from the Dots frontman, very much in the style of the more ambient tracks from his last CD. Inferno is the more motivated of the two pieces, constantly re-evolving itself as it progresses. Edward Ka-Spel puts more original ideas into one song than most can hope for in an albums worth. His thin voice floats through the haze before b…
Red 2 Eyes
Merzbow (メルツバウ) is the main recording name of the Japanese noise musician Masami Akita (秋田 昌美, Akita Masami) Since 1979 he has released in excess of 350 recordings. The name "Merzbow" comes from German artist Kurt Schwitters' artwork, "Merzbau". This was chosen to reflect Akita's dada influence and junk art aesthetic. In addition to this, Akita has cited a wide range of influences from progressive rock, free jazz, modern classical and musique concrète to BDSM and Japanese bondage. Recently he h…
