Elis & Tom
Elis & Tom is a bossa nova album, released in 1974, recorded by Brazilian singer Elis Regina and singer-songwriter Antônio Carlos Jobim. Recorded over a 16-day period at MGM Studios in Los Angeles, California, the album was an old wish of Regina, who always wanted to record a full album of Jobim's songs with him. This finally came true in 1974, when Elis was celebrating her 10th anniversary as an artist of Philips Records. The label approved the project as a gift for her.

On Percussions, Saint Tropez Orchestra turn the drum kit into a bandleader, spreading 20 compact cuts across a spectrum of funk, library jazz and tropical pulse. Every arrangement is built from the skin outward, making rhythm the song’s spine, flesh and nervous system all at once.
Every Color Moving (1988-2003)
On Every Color Moving (1988–2003), Steve Roden’s first 15 years unfold across six discs: from noisy, searching experiments to the hushed, “lowercase” worlds that would define his quietly radical, object‑based approach to sound and space.
Eternity
2026 stock. * This quality LP reissue was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. * Released in 1976, Eternity was Alice Coltrane's first album for Warner Bros. after eight wondrous records on Impulse! Combining the drones and textures of India, the gospel and R&B of her Detroit youth and the dissonance of modern classical composition, Coltrane's music in the '70s would become increasingly difficult to categorize. Having moved a few year…

L’Oreille Voleuse
On L’oreille Voleuse, Brunhild Ferrari opens her archive of “ear memories” to Eiko Ishibashi and Jim O’Rourke, who treat her magnetic-tape recollections as a living landscape, improvising a drifting, prismatic electroacoustic Hörspiel about time, listening, and theft as tender attention.
Silence and Secrecy
Zos Kia’s music is an essential insight and archival piece into the early work of the industrial scene and particularly of Coil in their formative stages. Their recordings are even darker and more industrial-rooted than much of the Coil material that followed. The music is primal, brutal and reveals the interests that surrounded Coil/Zos Kia and the early years of Thee Temple ov Psychic Youth (TOPY) / Psychic TV...
John Gosling was an original member of Zos Kia (as Joan D'Arc), alongside John …
Return To Forever
Chick Corea's luminous 1972 classic that launched a movement, with Stanley Clarke, Airto Moreira, Flora Purim and Joe Farrell. Sunlit Brazilian melody and weightless groove; a founding ECM statement.
Dalbergia Retusa
Extraordinary double LP of solo guitar music by Hans Reichel (1949-2011), curated by Oren Ambarchi. Twenty-three pieces from 1973-1988 documenting Reichel's radical instrumental rethinking: custom-built guitars with additional strings, moveable pickups, special capos. Sounds simultaneously strange and beautiful, from romantic lyricism to alien sonorities. Essential.
Seven Of Wands
Gilgongo Records presents the highly anticipated debut vinyl edition of John Wiese’s acclaimed album, 'Seven of Wands', originally released on Pan back in 2011. Uniquely beautiful, immersive, and transportive, it utilizes strategies and techniques of musique concrète and electroacoustic music, while emphasizing the mixing desk as a true instrument. As a composer, Wiese is an elusive one. Employing a very healthy range of conceptual framework throughout his oevure, he’s unmistakably recognizable,…
What Was
The first release of a 1995 studio session, produced by Evan Parker. The Kenny Wheeler Sextet includes Ray Warleigh, Stan Sulzmann, John Parricelli, Chris Laurence and Tony Levin.
Chaos Is a Law
On Chaos Is A Law, Bob Bellerue treats feedback and rupture as a kind of secular mysticism. Macrotonal drones, rasping noise and inharmonic vortices surge, implode and re-form, turning piano wires, metal and amplifiers into a single, volatile organism where chaos becomes both method and mantra.
Gwethilu: Songs For The Dark Lake
On Gwethilu: Songs For The Dark Lake, Timoteo Carbone Hansson builds an otherworldly song‑cycle where experimental timbres, early‑medieval polyphony and Nordic folk roots swirl together into slow, haunted rituals of rhythm and drone.
Teodros Makonnen With His Organ
Some recordings can foreshadow the future in ways that are hard to grasp in the moment, and Teodros Makonnen With His Organ (Teodros Makonnen ከኦርጋኑ ጋር) is one of them. Known as Teddy Mak, Teodros Makonnen helped define the digital sound of Ethiopian music that emerged from the 1980s onward, not only as a keyboard player but also as a producer, songwriter, performer, and sound designer. Although electronic instruments and digital production are now taken for granted in Ethiopian music, the early …

Live in Arles 1975 (2LP)
Seventh entry in the essential Can live series, and one of the great ones. A hot August night in 1975, the Roman Théâtre Antique in Arles, the core four locked in: Irmin Schmidt, Michael Karoli, Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay. No safety net, just the band stretching out in real time.
For decades this concert lived only in the stories of the people who were there, the recording buried in the Spoon Records vaults. Unearthed at last for its first ever release, with sleeve notes drawn from first-h…
