Mistakes
2025 stock In the late 1970s, Amsterdam was a crucible for radical improvisation, and Mistakes—the collaboration between South African saxophonist Sean Bergin and Dutch cellist Ernst Reijseger—stands as a vivid document of that era’s restless energy. Released on the Data label, the album captures two musicians at the threshold of their creative powers, forging a dialogue that is as unpredictable as it is intimate.
Bergin, who had recently relocated from Durban, brings a raw, searching lyricism t…
Sound Mind Sound Body
Sound Mind Sound Body was inspired in part by the working principles of Fripp & Eno, extrapolated by Rafael Toral via a unique signal path leading out of his guitar. He paid notice to the massive impact of discreet gestures, creating slow-moving tones and spacious orchestral resonances, drifting and droning with glacial majesty, hardly recognizable as guitar much of the time. The first pieces were recorded in 1987; in 1994, a collection was released on Portugal's AnAnAnA, producing an hour’s wor…
The Grave and Beautiful Name of Sadness
ICR is happy to release the CD version of the recent LP by Nurse With Wound. Comes in a digipack with an extra panel of artwork & an additional track, 'Blind', a reworking from 'Homotopy To Marie'.
Featuring two archive mixes of the original 1984 recording. A 2007 epic variation recorded for possible inclusion in Peter Strickland's film 'Katalin Varga' and a unique 'psychedelic' version from 2012 which until now has never been heard.
Branches (Live at Cafe OTO)
Tip on sleeves with matte varnish finish. Branches captures the electrifying first meeting of two uncompromising improvisers: Evan Parker, the legendary UK saxophonist and pioneer of multiphonic, trance-state improvisation, and Bill Nace, the American experimentalist known for his radical guitar and taishōgoto explorations. Recorded live at London’s Café OTO on May 25, 2024, this set documents the instant chemistry between two artists who had never played-or even met-before that night.
Nace, clo…
God And Hair
2024 lucky restock, reduced price. This 13 CD box set collects the complete available recordings of '70s cult rockers from CA, Ya Ho Wha 13. Led by the late Father Yod, who supposedly died in a hang-gliding accident in the late '70s (?), Ya Ho Wha 13 released numerous LPs (and at least one 8-Track) on their own Higher Key label in the mid-'70s. Only distributed locally at the time, some of these have been reissued in psuedo-legit (or outright bootleg) fashion in the UK over the last decade (alth…
Totality
A luminous collaboration between Natural Information Society and Bitchin Bajas, Totality is a slow-burning suite of cosmic ambient ritual—blending jazz, drone, and natural resonance into a radiant whole.
Materia Vibrante
*100 copies limited release* Small sounds and huge drones populate the surrealistic landscape of “Materia Vibrante”, Susana López’s gorgeous new album, her third for Elevator Bath and first on vinyl. Extraordinarily evocative, this LP is filled with detail and emotive tranquility, while occasionally swelling with the intensity of a raging sea. Surely López’s most elegant and finely hewn work to date, “Materia Vibrante” offers a fully enveloping sonic meditation. The album was built from field re…
Rocksession
Released in 1973. This is their 5th album, following their 4th album "Rage", and features Jimmy Jackson on keyboards, who also played in Amon Dur II, and Mal Waldron, who at that time was active in many German rock bands. This album is a masterpiece that deserves to be called their best work in the context of progressive jazz rock, and can be said to be the perfection of the "ethnic jazz rock" that they aimed for in their early days. This is a masterpiece in paper jacket, SHM-CD, and the latest …
V1/V2
Samara Lubelski crafts intricate, fragile sonic worlds—simultaneously delicate and chaotic. Her music explores creation, destruction, and liminality, evoking alien yet lyrical landscapes where every gesture births its opposite, forever shifting between presence and disappearance.

This remarkable coll…

Her desire was to open this sonic treasure to other artists without wanting to impose any aesthetic direction on them, and with the only purpose of encouraging new artistic inventiveness. This edition presents the "Presque Rien Prize" winners and other selected…

Kein Mitleid
Originally released in the late 1970s, Mureedil by Tonton Macoute stands as a singular statement in the French experimental tradition. The group weaves together repetitive, trance-like rhythms, spoken word, and electronic interventions, creating a sound that is both hypnotic and unsettling. The music is marked by its willingness to embrace both the structured and the chaotic, with lengthy instrumental passages giving way to bursts of surreal poetry and unexpected sonic detours.
Influenced by th…
La Proprietà Non è Più un Furto

Dedicato A Frazz
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* Legendary Italian dark sympho band Semiramis disappeared from the scene in 1973, leaving only one album. Named after an ancient Babylonian queen who is said to have created hanging gardens, and to have been a lover and cruel and inhumane, their sound can be described as dark symphonic. This long out-of-print album was, oddly enough, reunited and released a new album this …
Barricade 3
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* Restocked!!! ZNR was the French duo of Hector Zazou and Joseph Racaille (hence, Zazou 'n' Racaille) active in the mid to late '70s. Their 1976 debut, Barricade 3, is an anti-pop masterpiece that truly defies categorization; it makes perfect sense that ZNR appears on the infamous Nurse With Wound list. Featuring an array of seemingly dichotomous instruments (piano, synthes…
