Advaitic Songs
More than a decade after its initial release, Om's Advaitic Songs continues to stand as a towering achievement in heavy music's ongoing evolution - a record that demolished preconceptions about what drone-doom could become while establishing new possibilities for consciousness-expanding composition. Where God Is Good represented the first step in a more ornate and sophisticated direction for Om, Advaitic Songs achieved a level of composition that would have been impossible to foresee from the du…
Early Works
Bill Fontana investigates the physics of perception itself. Side A: tape collages where sound becomes both material and force. Side B: Wave Spiral for 5 Rin Gongs - a sidelong, 21-minute centerpiece where pure sine waves create interference patterns, frequency made sculptural. Sound spiraling through space, dissolving boundaries between observer and phenomenon.
Beam Penetration
Expo 70, held in Osaka, was a pivotal event for the Japanese people and their relationship with the rest of the world, demonstrating both the nation’s ongoing economic recovery from World War Two and the creative spirit of Japanese society and its artists. The event gained international acclaim for its adventurous architectural design, visual art and electronic music. Some of Japan’s most renowned composers were involved, but also present were the now-legendary rockers, the Flower Travellin' Ban…
Eternal Almost
“Eternal Almost” is a collaborative album by Japanese musician Tomo Katsurada and Estonian composer Misha Panfilov. Born from the simple joy of songwriting and creative exchange, Tomo and Misha had long admired each other’s music from afar. When the opportunity to collaborate finally arrived, it felt completely natural, and by the time the album was finished, it almost seemed as though the two had known each other always.
United by a shared sense of humour and musical curiosity, Tomo and Misha p…
Andando El Tiempo
Andando el Tiempo features new music of wide emotional compass by Carla Bley, and underlines her originality and resourcefulness as a jazz composer. “Saints Alive!” sets up animated conversations between the three musical participants with striking statements from Steve Swallow’s bass guitar and Andy Sheppard’s soprano sax. The stately “Naked Bridges/Diving Brides” draws inspiration from Mendelssohn and the poetry of Paul Haines. And the powerful three part title composition – which addresses…
Prophecy (LP)
1980 Japanese re-issue on ESP-Disk's "ジャズ名盤 Collection" of the 1975 album with recordings from 1964 featuring Gary Peacock and Sunny Murray. With obi.
Whistle from Above
Reinvigorated by months of shutdown woodshedding, David Grubbs developed new works for guitar, as well as a piano piece and an exceptionally eerie bit of musique concrète. Inspired by the deep dive into Gastr del Sol’s duo magic that facilitated last year’s compilation box, David opened his deeply personal solo pieces for engaging conversational gambits with modern masters Rhodri Davies, Andrea Belfi, Nikos Veliotis, Nate Wooley, and Cleek Schrey.

Wigmore Hall 1968
*Edition of 300 copies. High thickness cardboard with opaque laminated cover. Comes with a printed insert.* John Tchicai (1936-2012) was one of the most visionary free jazz saxophonists of the 20th century - a rare artist whose voice stood apart even among giants. Born in Copenhagen to a Danish mother and a Congolese father, his path to New York came through a chance encounter at a socialist youth festival in Helsinki, where Bill Dixon and Archie Shepp heard him play and urged him to make the mo…
Still Life with Lemons
Still Life with Lemons began as a ‘Reflex’ commission from the Amsterdam venue Bimhuis. This album is a live recording of that special first performance. Powerful musical characters meet on stage in a spirit of exploration, friendship, and openness, through the energetic and interplay-driven world of Marta Warelis’ compositions, where each musician’s distinct approach shines collectively. They explore the multilayered and the multiphonic, with a special interest in beat frequencies. This collect…
Hear This
In March 2022, Joe Fonda and Silke Eberhard met at the Downtown Music Record Store in New York, and just six months later they were on stage together with Austrian drummer Emil Gross in Berlin. The Josilemi Trio was born. The collective trio's compositions and improvisations are powerful, driving, elegant, structured and refined, combining diverse influences with improvisational inspiration. It is music that is completely connected to the moment and yet totally future-oriented. It is Music for h…
Havana
‘Havana’ is the thirteenth album by Agile Experiments, the shape-shifting project of multi-instrumentalist/producer Dave De Rose. Following on from 2024's 'Loukoumades', the album channels the heat-hazed, tympanic pulse of Cuba’s capital into a document of joyous collective improvisation, ecstatic groove alchemy and meticulously original choices of post-production. 'Havana' had already gathered support from Songlines Magazine, Electronic Sound Magazine, Gilles Peterson, Zakia and many more.
Soundsphere
Akio Suzuki has always been an artist in search of unexpected sound, and curiosity has been his guiding principle. Whether that be curiosity for objects, spaces or places, his work has been guided by a porousness and pliability which has allowed him to explore an enormous sonic terrain. This freedom has also allowed him to develop a language in sound that remains utterly his own. Nowhere is this more evident than in his approach to instrument creation. During the 1970s Akio Suzuki devised a seri…
Writing (Book)
With Writing, Ahmed - the quartet of Pat Thomas, Joel Grip, Antonin Gerbal and Seymour Wright - turn a decade of notes, essays and sleeve texts into a woven chorus, mapping how their deep dive into Ahmed Abdul‑Malik becomes a living method for making future music.
Nature Unveiled
Blck vinyl. Current 93's first and last album, Nature Unveiled dragged together my obsessions, as I had decided to make a pop album that dealt with my primary fascinations: Christian apocalyptic and eschatological Christian texts. In my speed-ridden soul and mind, I thought I was reinventing The Ronettes, and that the two long sides of Nature Unveiled were A- and B-sides of a wall of soundhogs HIT! But the reality is that I was sharing a squat in Vauxhall with little annie anxiety, and hanging o…
Outtakes
Tip! *120 copies limited edition* Our first personal contact with Bryn Jones was in 1995 when the Muslimgauze album "Silknoose" came out on my Daft Records label and the contact was always excellent. He knew that Eric, who did the mastering, and I loved his music since the beginning. Later on we planned a mini CD with 4 Muslimgauze / Sonar and 4 Sonar / Muslimgauze remixes so we exchanged some audio pieces to work with and to our great surprise Bryn sent us two DAT tapes with 16 remixes in total…
Clouds
If you don't know 'Clouds' then, quite naturally, you'd have to be living underground. The work of Venetian composer Gigi Masin went mostly ignored until Music From Memory's early-2010s reissue campaign pulled him and his ingenious ambient works out of the murk, among which many salvages include his now calling-card, 'Clouds'. Re-pressed astonishingly through P-Vine of all labels, this soul-quelling masterwork - first recorded in 1989 for a split release with Charles Hayward and mostly forgotten…
Play Me
Kim Gordon's third album, 'Play Me,' is distilled and immediate, expanding Gordon’s sonic palette to include more melodic beats and the motorik drive of krautrock. “We wanted the songs to be short,” Gordon says. “We wanted to do it really fast. It’s more focused, and maybe more confident."
The follow-up to 2024’s Justin Raisen-produced, two-time Grammy-nominated 'The Collective' processes, in her inimitable way, the collateral damage of the billionaire class: the demolition of democracy, technoc…
In A Beautiful Place Out In The Country
*2024 stock* In a Beautiful Place Out in the Country is an EP by Scottish electronic music duo Boards of Canada. It was released by Warp and music70 on 27 November 2000, in the period between the duo's albums Music Has the Right to Children and Geogaddi. The four-track collection centers around the theme of the Branch Davidian religious sect and their Waco retreat. The title of the EP refers to a vocoder-processed and slowed voice sample used on the third track, which repeats "come out and live …
Pulsión
*2023 reissue* Pusión includes nine tracks recorded between november 2008 and May 2009. Pulsión is in fact the album that follows Compuesto de Hierro (2003) as 8 Traks and Live (2007) can be considered as a transition, being a record made to go with the DVD, and contained some tracks that were in fact versions of older ones. Esplendor Geométrico style continues having a unique and unmistakable mark that distinguishes them from later bands they have had influence onto. At first sight, Pulsión is …
