Celestial Fires
The works of Mary Jane Leach explore the physicality of sound, working very carefully with the timbres of instruments, creating combination, difference, and interference tones. Space is also an important concern: how sound changes when it is moved around a room. Celestial Fires features the New York Treble Singers, (Virginia Davidson, conductor) performing four 8-part pieces for a capella women's voices; Shannon Peet performing Feu de Joie for 7 bassoons; and Barbara Held and Ms. Leach performin…
Blak Saagan bundle
Two records, ten sides, one argument. Blak Saagan's Se Ci Fosse La Luce Sarebbe Bellissimo and Un Sequestro Lungo 10.000 Anni read as the same book at two magnifications, and this bundle pairs them for the first time: the long overdue repress of the 2021 double LP alongside the triple album that answers it.
The first takes a single captivity and maps it in detail. Every title attaches to the 1978 kidnapping of the former Italian prime minister Aldo Moro by the Red Brigades: the fifty-four days, …
Ghost
Ghost is the ninth studio album by New York-based Black Swan, who employs an arsenal of analog recording devices and methods to blur the line between reality and memory. Inspired by musique concrète, ambient, and dark drone traditions, the twenty pieces in this continuous suite capture the experiences of a spirit navigating the physical world it left behind.
The dimensions of each movement come from careful consideration of the overall narrative: some are brief vignettes, while others are given …

*200 copies limited edition* Jump is a new pan-European trio bringing together three musicians from different generations and backgrounds: British pianist Pat Thomas, Danish saxophonist and composer Maria Dybbroe, and Italian vocalist, composer and multi-instrumentalist Andrea S. Giordano. The three met in Oslo in August 2021, as the pandemic was finally beginning to loosen its grip. Their first encounter was immediate and symbiotic, making it clear that a new band had taken shape. Since then, J…
Financial Tycoon
*100 copies limited edition* First ever reissue, remastered by the band. Long recognized as a one-off gem among Europrog collectors, Coma’s debut Financial Tycoon reflects the proclivity of Danish peers such as Secret Oyster and Burnin’ Red Ivanhoe for producing outstanding jazz-fusion, albeit uniquely blended with prog textures, and a sardonic sensitivity that was engraved across Europe in the releases of the likes of Kandahar, Supersister, Banzai, Brainstorm, Plastic People of the Universe, Pa…
Never Say When
Broken Flag was never only a noise label. Never Say When, the compilation Gary Mundy assembled in 1987 as the imprint neared its end, is the evidence: ten tracks mapping a network that ran from Croydon to Udine, almost none of them behaving the way the label's reputation would predict.
Mundy founded Broken Flag in 1982, out of a bedroom in South London, alongside his own project Ramleh. Across the decade it issued early work by The New Blockaders, Consumer Electronics, Skullflower, Maurizio Bian…

Babi
Mega Tip! **Sourced from the master tapes. First-time vinyl reissue ** By the early '70s, Milford Graves had more or less stopped gigging. Having learned his lesson the hard way in multiple-night runs like a legendary Slugs' residency with Albert Ayler, he knew that the level of energy that he put out during a performance would be difficult to sustain over the long haul. A concert was a kind of absolute ritual for him, after which he would be totally spent, emotionally and physically. Graves rar…
Keith Tippett: Mujician
Bomb! 328 pages hard-cover book, large format + 2CD of previously unreleased recordings. Keith Tippett (1947-2020) occupies a singular place in the history of British improvised music - a pianist of extraordinary range whose work moved fluidly between free jazz, large-scale orchestral composition, and solo improvisation of rare depth. Born in Bristol and trained first as a chorister, Tippett arrived in London in the late 1960s and rapidly established himself as a central figure in the city's cr…
Athanor
*150 copies limited edition* Within him lies a chamber made of attention rather than walls. There, a quiet warmth works without flame, loosening certainties, refining what has settled into form. Nothing is forced; everything is listened into being. A tone, a shadow, a fragment of light; each pass through him as trace rather than possession. The world is not captured but accompanied, allowed to breathe, to fade, to re-emerge altered. In this inward vessel, transformation is a discipline of patien…
Stiltje
An album consisting of four magically shimmering instrumental works. Moreover, both the album and its sleeve are more or less transparent—in other words, the especially perceptive music lover can truly see the light through the sound.
AO is still a well-kept secret from Gothenburg: a new name from the Swedish underground, yet with long tentacles reaching back through the ages. AO creates an intelligently playful and playful music, with many dizzying points of entry, winding rooms, and smiling ex…
Cacciamali
Cacciamali is an exploration of diegetic sound, folk chants and traditional rhythms and instrumentation building upon Milan based Rosso Polare’s last outing Campo Amaro and the subsequent departure of co-founder Anna Vezzosi from the group. Where the 2024 album incorporated a heavy use of folklore as a new tool, Cacciamali explores the influence further by bringing in a host of collaborative players including Italian avant-garde veteran Riccardo Sinigaglia, sound artist and researcher HMOT (Stas…

*Limited edition of 150 copies, numbered.* An exercise in quantum paleontology! Tropa Macaca - the Lisbon-based duo of André Abel (guitar, electronics) and Joana da Conceição (synth, electronics, paintings) - delivers two expansive pieces that exist like landscapes suspended inside us, alive between promise and ruin. Truly mysterious music made for and by adventurous, vibrating people!
Originally presented as immersive installations - Animais Sintéticos at gnration in Braga (2022) and Aerossol …
Synthesized Voices
DINTE reissues Charles Dodge’s 1976 LP collection of synthesised speech music, 1972-1975. Using mainframe computers at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Dodge analysed and dismantled audio recordings of surrealist poetry by Mark Strand, mathematically and meticulously reconstructing them in synthetic form, resulting in these uncanny, landmark pieces that spearheaded early computer speech synthesis as a form for musical composition.
Murdúchann
'Murdúchann’: Where layered vocal transformations summon siren songs and sonic phantoms from within the source. The word ‘Murdúchann’ comes from a Middle Irish word evoking a siren-like being—a sea singer or mermaid. It derives from ‘muir’ (sea) and ‘dúchann’ (chant, song). The singing melodies said to hold sway over seamen were characteristic of the sirens of classical mythology—likely imported into Irish literature via Homer’s Odyssey.
"Over the past decade I have been working with a vast sour…
