On Barker Final, Ivan The Tolerable closes the door on 1a Barker Road with a set of songs conceived, performed and mastered entirely by Oli Heffernan. The album feels like a final dispatch from a long‑running home studio, where restless experiments in tone and texture are distilled into a focused, late‑night farewell.
"Strata-East present a reissue of Pharoah Sanders's Izipho Zam (My Gifts), originally released in 1973. "Popular and increasingly in demand, Izipho Zam (My Gifts) falls into the 'rare' category among record collectors and is a gift to fans of master Pharoah Sanders. This demand is partially galvanized by the fact that 'Prince Of Peace' has become an inspirational mine to hip hop artists and is much loved by samplers.
Izipho Zam is Pharoah Sander's third album, initially recorded in January 1969,…

The Reloved series – Four Flies Records’ ongoing project where today’s producers reimagine select gems from the golden age of Italian library music and soundtracks – welcomes a new chapter from the formidable pairing of Nicola Conte and Nico Lahs. The tracks reworked in this vinyl EP all originate from the first half of the 1970s, a period when a fascination with African imagery and sounds was so pervasive among Italian composers that it became a prominent cultural and aesthetic trend. Applying …
At long last...the return of Oldest, the NYC duo of Mick Barr & Brooks Headley, in the form of a split 12" with one of their greatest inspirations, the legendary Bastard Noise.
Oldest manage to combine the avant metal execution that Barr has pioneered in projects like Krallice, Orthrelm, Crom-Tech, and Ocrilim, to name but a few, with the contrarian hardcore approach of Headley's past bands, which include Born Against, Universal Order of Armageddon, Skull Kontrol, and Wrangler Brutes.
Bastard No…
The idea for this album began taking shape in 2021 and has slowly evolved into a seven-track snapshot of Juli Deák’s musical world and artistic thinking. Coming from the challenging, refined, and often seemingly flawless sound of classical music, the flutist began redirecting her musical voice toward a much more personal space through experimentation and improvisation. What eventually grew into this project originally began as a handful of unfinished ideas—which only revealed their true meaning …

Sound Sun Pleasure was recorded in Chicago at the same March 1959 sessions that produced the instrumental album Jazz In Silhouette, and features near-identical personnel. However, the recordings sat on the shelf for over ten years, finally achieving release in 1970. Whereas Silhouette was comprised of Sun Ra originals, Sound Sun Pleasure explores two works Sunny co-composed with trumpeter Hobart Dotson and four standards, two of which ("'Round Midnight" and "Back In Your Own Backyard") are sung …

The debut album from the duo of Finnish accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen and Swedish reedist Mats Gustafsson - both musicians have routinely blown past the rules of the traditions from which first emerged—folk and free jazz, respectively—to explore constantly expanding worlds. It was only a matter of time before these iconoclasts collided to create something wonderfully raw and unexpected.
Huck Hodge, an American composer and multi-talented artist, writes, as the New York Times puts it, “harmonically fresh works […] full of splendour and thunder”. Both intellectually and immediately poetic, his music explores the many invisible connections between the most diverse artistic and philosophical traditions of East and West. His passion for learning both ancient and modern languages, his own poetic output and his original choice of texts are reflected in the interplay of colour, light a…
*250 copies limited edition* "Whenever I perform a concert, which is usually a one-off, I like to try something new that I have prepared and rehearsed. It's very rare to return to the music afterwards and record a studio version. On 25 November 2023, I played a concert in Münster, Germany, and I was very pleased with how it turned out. However, because I was given 30 minutes, I felt it was a bit rushed, and I recorded a new version at home shortly afterwards.
The inclusion of shortwave radio sou…
*250 copies limited edition* "The origins of Aphelion trace back to 2021, when Jim Wilson of Voice of Eye proposed a collaboration with Thomas Dimuzio. The initial concept was to create a deep space musical project featuring modern Buchla and 1970s-era Korg synthesizers. Eventually, they approached throat singer Soriah to see if he would be interested in contributing his unique organic vocal techniques to complement their ethereal drones, providing an intriguing counterpoint.
This collaboration …

Behind the mysterious notion "Extrusiarch" we find the concept of a 'creation myth' or energy that, loosely based on Gnosticism, is a kind of membrane that transforms unformed things into physical ones, o…
*100 copies limited edition* Traum are delighted to share the first outcome of their current recording sessions with you in a physical, tangible and analog format: Say hello to “Hector’s Theme”, a manic, anxious, rumbling and tribal sculpture of a tune, inviting you to dive deep into its electrifying, tense and confusion-drenched atmosphere … This time the trio took a slightly different approach to their DIY recording and production style and kept everything more live and raw than before.

The second volume in the Reference series from AlAy, the Basel imprint curated by Werner X. Uehlinger, gathers twenty two sides that document one of the great partnerships of modern jazz: trumpeter Fats Navarro and composer, arranger and pianist Tadd Dameron, captured across seven New York studio sessions between January 1947 and January 1949, with sonic restoration and mastering by Michael Brändli and new liner notes by Art Lange.
Navarro, gone at twenty six, made perhaps the deepest impression…
