**500 copies** British experimental musician, composer, performer and producer Anthony Moore was a founding member of Slap Happy and has worked with Henry Cow, Kevin Ayers, and Pink Floyd among other great names in the British scene. In 1971 he moved to Hamburg, Germany, and worked in the boiling experimental scene of the city. As a result, two LPs were issued on Polydor Germany in 1971 and 1972, right before forming Slap Happy with old school pal Peter Blegvad and Dagmar Krause.Secrets of the B…
*250 copies limited edition* As part of their 20th year celebrations Gnod grace us with the latest output from their ongoing R&D project. Operating as a stripped back two piece the raw energy and sonic power shines through across the two tracks that make up ‘Nobody Knows this is Anywhere’. ‘Catholic FM’ and ’Sunset 102’ are but a fraction extracted from a mammoth 2 day recording session at Gnod farm back in 2019. Recorded straight to cassette at the time and with minimal editing done at some poi…
Sacro Bosco (“Sacred Grove”) is the starting point for Anna von Hausswolff’s All Thoughts Fly. Here in solo instrumental mode, the entire record consists of just one instrument, the organ, and represents absolute liberation of the imagination. All Thoughts Fly radiates a melancholic beauty, and is distinguished by fluid transitions of contrasting elements; calmness and drama, harmony and dissonance, much like the place that inspires the music. Sacro Bosco is a garden, based in the centre of Ital…
The protagonists of this album embrace the complexity, diversity, and innovative power of a musical tradition that, in this case, seeks dialogue with other languages, opening itself up to innovative music. On one side, we find the prepared Sardinian guitar, an alien instrument that has fascinated music critics from Europe and overseas; on the other, the guttural singing of the Tenore Murales, an expression of one of the most ancient polyvocalities in the Mediterranean, with similarities to Tuva …
Available for the first time since its original release in 1980, this is compelling, funky, exploratory jazz from Melbourne, Australia. The album opens with the floating Song For Bobby, a downtempo gem with the heartbeat aura of Herbie Hancock’s Butterfly; Orchestral Excerpts (From The Symphony Of Life), In The Basement and City Of Stone are high-grade fusion jams with one eye on Weather Report and Return to Forever, the other on the organic Australian sound of Alan Lee and John Sangster.
The al…
Were you to tap the lifeblood of Chicago music, you would find Josh Berman flowing liberally through its veins. Active on the scene for more than a quarter century, the cornetist, bandleader, and composer has helped retain the unique flavor of the city's soundscape, with particular attention to the music of its jazz past – groups like the Austin High Gang and the Oliver-Armstrong lineage and Freddie Keppard, as well as more recent figures from Lester Bowie to Wadada Leo Smith.
But Berman is more…
On Let the Sky Open Under Your Feet, Skyjack fuse South African groove, European improv and chamber‑level detail into a live‑wired suite of cosmic jazz, where deep‑rooted rhythms and free flights feel like earth and atmosphere trading places.
Jeux de mains, a striking new album from acclaimed double bassist Joëlle Léandre and inventive composer-performer Rémy Bélanger de Beauport, arrives as a vivid exploration of spontaneous musical conversation. Recorded with immediacy and an acute sense of shared risk, the record captures two master improvisers at the peak of their creative powers.
Across the album’s immersive tracks, Léandre’s visceral arco, percussive pizzicato, and fearless extended techniques meet Rémy Bélanger de Beauport’s t…
"Nusa"is the result of a dialogue between the photographer Masao Yamamoto and the composer and musician Akira Uchida, initiated by IIKKI, between April 2025 and March 2026. "Nusa" is the last part of a trilogy started in 2020 with Masao Yamamoto and Akira Uchida. A project that began with light (“Sasanami”, 2020), moved through darkness (“Kurayami”, 2023), and returned to the ambivalence of the two (“Nusa”, 2026), which ultimately sustain and complement one another in all their variations and co…
Vienna FLAMMeS, or: The noise of these post-jazz improvisers resounds from paradise. According to a widespread cliché, improvisation in jazz is supposed to help promote the free play of the imagination. It was the Viennese flugelhorn player Franz Koglmann who vehemently contradicted the image of the naively self-actualizing jazz musician. As a composer of cerebral “cool” pieces, whose melancholy sprang from a razor-sharp analysis of his own means of expression, Koglmann was the most qualified pe…
*Edition of 100* On Quiet Panic, Mark Schaub sculpts a slow‑burn tension where stillness never quite settles, his compositions hovering between ambience and unease, finely honed and given extra dimensional depth by Andrea Marutti’s mastering.

Long-form duo work by Jon Wesseltoft and Lasse Marhaug, ongoing since 2008 as an investigation into psycho-acoustics and the phenomenology of sustained sound. The Hex of Light, recorded in 2013, consists of two stringently close-knitted pieces built around microtonal frequency interaction and slowly unsettling shifts; each gradually blooms within its own sonic time, exposing binaural beats, ghost overtones and microscopic tonal motion. Trance-inducing drone in the most rigorous sense.
A raw, groove-driven selection of previously overlooked 1990s recordings by legendary Turkish jazz impresario Okay Temiz, compiled here for the first time.
Conal arrived in 1981 on the Norwegian independent Uniton Records, in a run of 4,000 copies, at a point when Conrad Schnitzler was long past being a German secret. The founding member of Kluster and a brief early presence in Tangerine Dream had spent the 1970s building a body of work largely outside the record industry, issuing a torrent of self-released cassettes and LPs whose titles almost all open with the syllable Con, completed by a second that points somewhere. By the start of the 1980s th…
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 …
