Sunset and Forever
Sunset and Forever finds Cindytalk once again stepping into the faultline between collapse and renewal, extending a project that has always treated the band itself as sculptural material to be broken apart and reformed. From the earliest days of Camouflage Heart and In This World, Cinder’s vision fused post‑punk dissonance, industrial dirge, and abject rock deconstruction with a strangely luminous vocal presence – the same voice that threaded through early This Mortal Coil and Cocteau Twins reco…
People In Sorrow
CD Digipack w/12 pages booklet. Edition of 500 copies. Finally back in print! Originally released by EMI's Pathé Marconi imprint in 1969, People in Sorrow — a 40-minute work by the four-piece lineup of Roscoe Mitchell, Joseph Jarman, Lester Bowie, and Malachi Favors — has long been unavailable on vinyl and CD, and then only in hard-to-find European and Japanese issues. It is arguably the finest and most ambitious of the 14 studio albums recorded by the Art Ensemble of Chicago during their 23-mon…
Synesthesia
*250 copies limited edition* The quartet of Ivo Perelman, Matthew Shipp, William Parker and Bobby Kapp returns with Synesthesia, a new recording that captures their deep connection and evolving voice in contemporary free jazz. Following the acclaimed Ineffable Joy and Heptagon, the group continues to explore spontaneous composition, open form, and strong collective interplay. This time, the music leans further into a modern jazz language, with sharper focus, clearer shapes, and a refined sense o…
Jeita ou Murmure des Eaux
A cornerstone of the acousmatic tradition, finally on vinyl. François Bayle's Jeîta ou Murmure des Eaux arrives as a limited LP via Recollection GRM and Shelter Press - one of the composer's most singular and spatially ambitious works, composed in the wake of a concert given at the Jeita Grotto in Lebanon in 1969, where Bayle had traveled to mark the opening of the cave's newly discovered upper gallery. Bayle joined the Groupe de Recherches Musicales in 1960, studying under Pierre Schaeffer and …
Floating Frequencies / Intuitive Synthesis I
When Eleh's debut Floating Frequencies/Intuitive Synthesis I was originally released it was praised as a powerful piece of new electronic minimalism. Twenty years later the artist's legacy has grown while Eleh continues to hypnotize new listeners with time stopping music. Critics, fans and neurologists have praised the music of Eleh as aiding attention and focus while seeming to slow time. Eleh's slow change drones are a state of flow hypnotizing listeners into meditative focus. From the origina…
Healsgebedda Budgerigar
On Healsgebedda Budgerigar, Nurse With Wound turn memory itself into a delirious tape loop: three long, sample‑swollen excursions where pet chatter, phantom TV themes and street detritus melt into a woozy, psychedelic netherworld of half‑remembered sound.
Do What You Fear Most: The History of the Velvet Underground
Few groups have exerted an influence so out of proportion to their commercial fortunes as The Velvet Underground. Formed in New York in 1965, the band sold modestly across four studio albums and had effectively dissolved by the end of the decade, yet the sound it built - the drone, the controlled noise, the plain-spoken songs about subjects pop had left untouched - became one of the foundations on which the next half-century of rock was laid.
Slot Machine Music, Vol. 1 & 2: Field Recordings from Middle American Casinos
"Video gambling addicts, academic researchers, and industry professionals alike describe the trancelike state into which problem gamblers suspend themselves with remarkable consistency: they unanimously call it the machine “zone,” a kind of inner experience during which the rhythmic flow of human-machine collusion borders on mysticism. Time is abolished in the act of contemporary video gambling—simulated slot reels roll, virtual poker decks deal, and all worldly concerns are lost—leaving only th…
First Time Out
**Limited edition 350 copies clear vinyl** Kosmose were a Belgian cosmic collective formed in Charleroi and active across the 1970s, a loose and more or less leaderless group of local players anchored around multi-instrumentalist Alain Neffe (later of Insane Music and the Belgian wave underground) and bassist Francis Pourcel, with the young Guy Marc Hinant, later a co-founder of Sub Rosa, among their number. First Time Out captures a session recorded and mixed in March 1975, entirely unreleased…
Concerts
Remastered repress. Comes with printed inner sleeve. Concerts is a live double album by Henry Cow, drawn from performances in London, Italy, the Netherlands and Norway between September 1974 and October 1975, originally issued in 1976. It arrived at a hinge point in the band's history, after Virgin had lost interest in releasing further studio records and before the group made its final move toward independence. The first two sides hold composed material; the second two give space, for the first…
Patience (After Sebald)
One of the most singular and quietly devastating works in The Caretaker's long catalogue. Out of print for over a decade, Patience (After Sebald) returns in a 2026 pressing on History Always Favours The Winners, limited to 500 copies.
Conceived by James Leyland Kirby as the score to Grant Gee's feature-length documentary of the same name, originally released in 2012, the album traces a path through the work and shadow of the German writer W.G. Sebald (1944-2001), following the long coastal walk …
Music With Changing Parts
* First-time vinyl reissue, gatefold sleeve * Philip Glass, the great American composer, was already in his mid-30s before his first album appeared, and then only because he produced the double LP himself. Music With Changing Parts was the inaugural release on his own Chatham Square imprint in 1971. At this point, Einstein on the Beach, Glass' first opera, was still five years away. Yet in Changing Parts, one can already hear much of his vocabulary in full bloom: the buoyant arpeggios, the meldi…

Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat
On Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat, Charanjit Singh folds centuries of Hindustani tradition into a three‑box Roland future, crafting a 1982 raga‑disco séance that would lie dormant for decades before being hailed as proto–acid house and a cornerstone of South Asian electronic modernity.

One
Anonymous transmissions from a spectral, dead-of-night mystery zone. Recorded in 1996 and originally release by Japan's enigmatic La Musica Records label on limited cassette. A group that deconstructs and liberates the chance nature of contemporary classical and noise music enough so that their boundaries blur. Available for the first time on vinyl and digital.
