Nasca
Most of the October nights in 1987 you could find Gerry Vergult (Aroma Di Amore, Fred A., Adult Fantasies) and Gerrit Valckenaers (Adult Fantasies, The Colorist Orchestra) in a desolated top studio in Ghent. At that time and place they sneakily crafted and shaped this Nasca record while they were supposed to finish a new Fred A. record. They created an abstract universe where minimal post-punk basslines blend together with radio sounds in "Nothing Toulouse", tropical tribal vibes oscillates betw…
Cul de Sac
**500 copies** After "Mars II" and "Fortune de Mer", the album Frederik made together with Timo Van Luijk, Croene releases "Cul de Sac": a record where he explores the boundaries and limits of the piano. A mind-blowing journey through his soul and his past. After graduating from Conservatories in 1999 Frederik Croene embarked on several projects in which he would reflect on the ever-changing and multi-layered identities of the classical pianist. As the Gestalt of his instrument is grounded in 19…

III Hymne
First time LP reissue from the original 1985 master tapes on 180gr vinyl. Including liner notes. On 'III Hymne' Jean Hoyoux further explores the electronic instruments he also used on 'Planètes' which results in a marvelous album that in some way connects the dots between ambient, library, cosmic and spiritual music. Two years after his debut double LP 'Planètes' Jean Hoyoux recorded three new compositions in the home build studio, Madame Bois. In his later published book 'Noos, la naissance à l…
Planètes
**Small 2018 repress available** First time reissue on vinyl of this much sought after release by Jean Hoyoux on the brand new label Cortizona. Jean Hoyoux remains a mysterious figure. He was Belgian psychologist, astrologer, and musician who released two albums during the early 80’s, and seems to have died shortly after. Little information is available, beyond the fact that he was dedicated to the study of the healing properties of music - the guiding theme of the album we have before us. Heali…
1973: Live in Zonderschot
Incredible vinyl release of a previously unreleased live recording of a Belgian concert by the Freddie Hubbard Quintet in 1973. It was recorded by Belgian radio & television broadcasting service (BRT) and is now remastered. It is a sweet electric set recorded right in the middle of his classic years for CTI – and with a sound that's maybe even more sublime than his work for that legendary label! The group here is a hip quintet – with Junior Cook on tenor, and George Cables on some especially gr…
