Cumbión Planetario
Bogotá based Tropical futurists Rizomagic unveil their interplanetary mission to combine futurist technology with cosmic patterns, traditional rhythms and the woozy manipulations of pitched-down Cumbia Rebajada. Rizomagic are Edgar Marún and Diego Manrique, who met in 2020 while studying double bass and composition (respectively) at university in their hometown of Bogota. After finding a shared musical taste, they started producing music together during the first lockdown, swiftly producing and …
Stella Kola
Originally self-released in 2023, Stella Kola, the debut album from Beverly Ketch (Jow Jow, Weeping Bong Band) and Robert Thomas (Sunburned Hand of the Man, Dalthom), now returns in a renewed edition - bringing wider attention to a record that already felt like a quietly essential artifact from the moment it first appeared.Given the pair’s respective roots - and the presence of collaborators drawn from across the Northeast experimental underground - one might expect “a brutal blast of acid swirl…
Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb: Gospel Quartet Singing in Jefferson County, Alabama
"Jefferson County is the heartland of black American a cappella gospel quartet singing. For more than [a century] black quartets have thrived in Birmingham and Bessemer, and they have provided immeasurable spiritual uplift and musical enjoyment to a large portion of the local population. The tenacious survival of black quartet traditions in Birmingham and Bessemer preserves a cultural and historical continuity that informs and enriches many lives. The older singers share a sense of brotherhood, …
A Decent Run
Tip! *100 copies limited edition* "A Decent Run is the result of a journey that began in 2000 and was recorded in 2024, seven years after the death of Tom Raworth, whose poems I used as the basis for ten tracks—ten songs—to which I added two pieces by Steve Lacy. It is a journey through many different kinds of music, lyrics, images, and sounds, yet one shaped by a single principle: the idea of music and improvisation as a collective, choral process, in which space and prominence are given to ind…
Rituals of Transition
In 2002 Misha Mengelberg was invited for the second time to the AngelicA Festival in Bologna. That edition, the twelfth, took part entirely in a squatted social centre of the city, and, in collaboration with Tristan Honsinger, was conceived as one large opera lasting six days – an opera within which the performances of many national and international artists fitted in like individual mobile “modules”.
Especially for this occasion and on the festival director’s suggestion, who had attended a perf…
I Don't Know
After more or less 20 albums on guitar released since 2005 on LPs, cassettes and CDs, the first real album on piano by Belgian singer-songwriter Bram Devens aka. Ignatz. In 1910, the illustrator George Herriman created the Krazy Kat comic strip. Ignatz, a vicious mouse, was Krazy Kat’s arch enemy, and his favourite pastime was to throw bricks at Krazy Kat’s head (who misinterpreted the mouse’s actions as declarations of love). Ignatz is the alter-ego of Belgian musician Bram Devens. Since 2005, …
Schönste Muziek
Early hallucinatory ritual percussion works from the much-missed rhythmajik master. This legendary album by Industrial pioneer Z'EV was originally released in 1986 (LP, Dossier), now finally available with the state-of-the-art remastering it deserves. Also included is the bonus 20 minute track 'Titan Night', recorded at Berlin Atonal in December 1983, now available here for the first time on any format since the original 1984 split LP with Psychic TV (who performed their iconic set at the same e…
Los Mandatos del Aire
On Los Mandatos del Aire, Peruvian flautist Camilo Ángeles deconstructs his instrument into a bridge between worlds, channeling Amazonian cosmology and ayahuasca visions through extended techniques, microtonalities, analog processing and reverb‑chamber acoustics in dialogue with Musuk Nolte's photography.
La Luce dell'Alba
La Luce dell’Alba is the new LP by Jolly Mare, conceived as an imaginary meeting with Piero Umiliani (on the centenary of his birth) and made possible by access to the original multitrack tapes provided by the Maestro’s family. Recorded between the legendary Sound Workshop in Rome and Oister Studio in Milan, the album weaves rearrangements and new overdubs, creating a suggestive dialogue between past and present. An ambitious, visionary project that renews Umiliani’s sonic legacy through Jolly M…
Black Case Volume I and II: Return From Exile
Last copies...Joseph Jarman (1937 - 2019) was a saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist best known as a founding member of trailblazing avant-garde jazz group Art Ensemble of Chicago. Jarman was responsible for the Art Ensemble’s signature face paint and elaborate costumes as well as the pioneering theatrical and multimedia elements of their shamanistic performances, which could include dance, comedy, performance art, surreal pranks, and—notably—the recitation of Jarman’s poetry. In 1977, Art Ense…

Bayou-Borne / Jitterbug
Fifth release in the MFR Contemporary Series. The Amsterdam-based ensemble MAZE (La Berge, Calderone, Davis, Kyriakides, Hijmans, van Houdt) realises two works by Annea Lockwood, both built around graphic scores derived from photographs of natural systems. Bayou-borne, for Pauline (2016) is dedicated to Pauline Oliveros and uses a map of Houston's bayous; Jitterbug (2007) interprets rocks from the Continental Divide with Lockwood's pre-recorded aquatic and terrestrial insect sounds.
Anamnesis+
Scorn is dead. Mick Harris has said it himself, repeatedly, over the years, but this time the sentence has the weight of finality. Anamnesis, expanded to a four LP set and issued by GOD Records as catalog GOD 80, is the last word. Few projects have travelled the distance Harris travelled. From the blast beats that helped invent grindcore in Napalm Death to the cavernous low end and pulverising patience of Scorn, his career describes one of the strangest arcs in British underground music. Formed …

A collection of intimate songs traced from the spectral darkness by Asahito Nanjo, the notorious leader of some of Japan’s key underground psychedelic units (High Rise, Mainliner, Musica Transonic, Toho Sara, etc) Recorded between 1980 and 1988 and previously only available in a cassette micro-edition released by his La Musica Records label in the mid-1990’s.

Piano Solo
It happens very rarely that you can praise a records without any reservations, this is the case here!!! A lot of ink has flowed across the page since the Vogue/Swing release (1955) of that founding solo record. The repertoire was made up of pieces that Thelonious was playing in New York over that period, but in trio or with a quartet, here his music shows nakedness, i should say crudeness, whisch is completely overwhelming. It is a balck and white photograph of what is happening inside Monk's he…
Ascenseur pour l'échafaud
*2026 repress!* Representing a more intimate and spontaneous side of Miles Davis, this expanded re-release of the soundtrack to Ascenseur pour l'échafaud is a welcome event. Louis Malle was already a jazz fan when Jean-Claude Rappeneau suggested to him that Miles, who was in France for a brief tour, be asked to record the soundtrack; he readily agreed. By creating a relaxed environment in the studio, where the musicians could view main scenes of the film in a loop and then improvise in response …
High Oxygen Blood
"Another mind-blasting slab from the band that emerged from the exquisitely raw chaos of Up-Tight. Guitarist Aoki Tomoyuki, who founded and led Up-Tight from 1992 to 2024, is one of the prime exponents of Japanese string-based underground insanity. His approach combines the psychedelic flow of White Heaven's You Ishihara with the scuzz-dynamism of High Rise's Munehiro Narita and the experimental distentions of Fushisusha-era Keiji Haino. Up-Tight's records were all sold blurts of N Generation Ja…
