Lucky Restock - Limited Quantities Please note: these are original copies that may show minor sleeve wear due to long-term storage. The vinyl is in excellent condition. Circa 1950, four musicians orbiting the RAI orchestra in Rome had what they later described as "a brilliant idea": to name their group using the initials of their own names. From Maurizio Majorana (bass), Antonello Vannucchi (Hammond organ and piano), Roberto Podio (drums and percussion), and Carlo Pes (guitar) emerged "I Marc 4…

Down the Rhine at-night alone in a compartment making music for my-self with those Korean-shaman-cymbals given as a gift from Ho-Sun Cheon (husband of Hong-Hee Kim who later will organize the festival 'The SeOUL of Fluxus' and invite-me come-and-participate) …

These historical recordings of a 1967 concert at Hope College in Michigan involving John Cage, Toshi Ichiyanagi and David Tudor, performing compositions by Ichiyanagi and Alvin Lucier, were recently discovered in an archive in Japan.

"This is special for me. Evan Parker and Paul Rogers have given their permission for this release. I asked Evan if he would write some notes but he wants me to do it – my memory of the gig. That was 33 years ago (1992), so I don’t remember much. It was at the old Vortex on Stoke Newington Church Street; I must have been sitting with Candy on a little table in front of the low stage. A Marantz cassette recorder in front of me and a cheap mic stand with a single stereo mic in front of that. The ma…
** Black Vinyl edition ** Original masters licensed by King Records Japan. Includes OBI and insert.

The historical importance, influence, and stature of the Schlippenbach Trio was cemented long ago. Formed in 1970 by German pianist Alexander von Schlippenbach in the early days of European free jazz, the group also featured British saxophonist Evan Parker and German drummer Paul Lovens, and soon formed the core of the mighty Globe Unity Orchestra from that point on. As heard on its 1972 debut for FMP Pakistani Pomade - reissued by Cien Fuegos back in 2015 - its foundational music helped establi…

Lucky restock. Spectrum is not a compilation so much as a séance. Plastic Records has gathered sixteen tracks that collectively summon the nocturnal soul of an era when jazz, pop, and cinematic ambition collided in recording studios from London to Los Angeles, from Havana to Harlem. The title promises film noir themes, but the truth is more expansive: this is the sound of sophisticated menace distilled into three-minute doses, music that belongs equally to smoke-filled jazz clubs and Technicolor…

Issued by Athens-based Rekem Records in a meticulously crafted limited edition of 200 copies, this isn't just another ambient release, it's prophecy ren…

The score divides six players into two virtual trios, shifting constellations every three minutes - one player always serving as "dynamic leader" whose volume the others cannot exceed. A structure that forces deep listening without curtailing individual qualities. Conceptually rigorous, sonically stunning!
