Elephant
Brooklyn-born trumpeter and composer Adam O’Farrill, hailed as a leading light of the new American jazz scene, announces his bold new quartet project Elephant. With this ensemble, O’Farrill expands his sonic language into a fresh, genre-blurring space that fuses the intimacy of the jazz quartet with the emotional depth of 20th‑century minimalism and the rhythmic urgency of contemporary electronic and dance music.

Kontinuerlig Drift
*100 copies limited edition* Pursuant to PQR’s reissue of San Michael’s and Gandalf’s albums (both sold out in a flash), and more recently of Midsommar’s debut, we continue digging into the gold reserves of the Swedish 70s underground to unearth the highly collectable album by Kontinuerlig Drift (meaning ‘continuous operation’ in Swedish). Just like Gandalf, this is a versatile album, equally split into ethnoprog, psychedelic and bluesy moments, all of which were indispensable facets of the band…

Bala
There’s a rich resonance to the music of Fodé Lassana Diabaté, whose music has travelled with him from his griot family in West Africa to the North American coast of Unama'kik (Cape Breton). Bala, his first album of purely balafón music, brings together traditional pieces with roots in the Mande empire, original compositions inspired by his time in Unama’kik, and tributes to friends and family members. Diabaté has developed a unique practice on the balafón—a traditional melodic percussion instru…
Flaming Tunes
Post-punk, rising like a phoenix during the second half of the 1970s, was a movement that few could have anticipated or foreseen. Sophisticated, and impossible to nail down, bands like Wire, P.I.L., The Pop Group, The Fall, A Certain Ratio, Pere Ubu, Throbbing Gristle, and dozens of others, wedded forward thinking radicalism and the focused energy of punk, with revitalized forms of experimentalism that rethought the terms and ownership of the musical avant-garde. Of post-punk’s first wave, few …

The cycle was literally completed when the album – recorded on February of the same year in Chicago – hit the stores.

Or Gare: funeral procession music from Ryfylke, Norway
On Or Gare, Stine Janvin and Morten Joh slow time to a funereal crawl, reanimating Ryfylke’s “liksong” tradition as a ghost‑lit microtonal ritual where voices, synths and creaking percussion hover between lament, liturgy and quietly glowing electronics.

While the Neubauten became a groundbreaking and hugely successful band, Hacke not only experimented with all kinds of stimulants, but also continued to develop musically: …
The Intergalactic Thing
Last copies, reduced price. Killer a collection of rehearsals taped in the fall of 1969 at Ra's home studio in Philadelphia. The studio was also his home and the home of most of his Arkestra, here called the Astro- Ihnfinity Arkestra. The music here is meditative, soul nurturing medicine. Just about every musician from the Arkestra, even the renowned saxophonists John Gilmore and Marshall Allen, doubles on percussion. One might think, with a discography as extensive as the one Sun Ra boasts, t…

The Futurist Manifesto
A colossal audivisual adaption of Marinetti’s Futurist Manifesto, by Thomas Koner, one of the uncontested master isolationists of the ethereal static sounds, a sonic symphony of the unconsciouss and a defiant decceleration critique of today society through the ultimate modern text.

Skull
2026 stock, reduced price ** Original Single Sided, Numbered **
Floating around the sub-underground for years, rarely surfacing, rarely seen. Skull by Zyklon B. Zombies is one of those cassettes that circulated mostly as rumor - a ghost tape, a name that appeared on want lists - until Minimum Table Stacks finally pressed it to vinyl in 2023, giving a wider public its first proper encounter with what had been locked inside. This is the original 1993 Vanilla Records cassette.

Flamenco Party

The name means "mercury lamp" - 水銀ランプ - and the industrial implications are entirely intentional.

Flamenco Party, their only recording, was captured live at Shinjuku Ongakukan in April 1991 and released on Vanilla Records the same year - six tracks on a single-sided C62 cassette, number…
