A Love Supreme
*2026 repress* "One of the most important records ever made, John Coltrane's A Love Supreme was his pinnacle studio outing, that at once compiled all of the innovations from his past, spoke to the current of deep spirituality that liberated him from addictions to drugs and alcohol, and glimpsed at the future innovations of his final two and a half years. Recorded over two days in December 1964, Trane's classic quartet-- Elvin Jones, McCoy Tyner, and Jimmy Garrison -- stepped into the studio and …

Have You Heard About the World Coming to an End?
Death Is Not The End present a compilation gathering a cross-section of early gospel choirs and vocal harmony groups recorded between late 1920s and the mid-1950s - a period when spirituals & jubilee traditions merged with blues, jazz and early rhythm and blues, providing the musical routes for the coalescence of the civil rights movement born out of the black church. In the modern world these perennially vital recordings provide a fitting tonic for the near-dystopia we find ourselves living thr…
Milano Undiscovered - Early 80s Electronic Disco Experiments
*2026 repress* 40 years after the beginnings of the Italo disco movement 'Milano Undiscovered' leads us to discover the first ferments of the Milanese post-punk dance scene. In the early 80's future producers began to veer towards a form of dance music not yet defined, what once seemed like an experimental form, today sounds like a cornerstone for future development in the club scene of key city as Berlin, Paris, Stockholm and Amsterdam.
Italo disco was first mistreated, then exalted, forgotten …

Triple Cool Hang
On Triple Cool Hang, Family Underground turn two decades of haze into a single spool of time, threading freezing‑church jams, Brooklyn collaborations, and after‑hours Copenhagen séances into deep, slow‑burning cuts that hum with tape hiss and lived‑in drone.
Rosacea
Rosacea, the new album by Norwegian experimental guitarist Gaute Granli, channels distortion, absurdity, and raw emotion into a delirious yet finely structured noise-folk ritual. Released in October 2025 on the Egyptian label Nashazphone, the record crystallizes Granli’s signature fractured psychedelia, where repetition becomes revolt and disorder turns intimate.
When I sing, I slip into the microphone. Into that void, I bring comrade "prayers", then, turning to face the outside, together we explode
Like on the early solo Haino album that shares the group’s name (released on P.S.F. in 1993), the instrumentation swims in reverb (the use of which Akiyama recalls as ‘a kind of point of the band’), often obscuring the instrumental sources. On the short opening piece, a distant reed instrument arcs long buzzing melodies over a bed of cymbals and gongs, like a psychedelic take on Tibetan music. The epic second part, occupying almost 50 minutes, begins as a splayed, near-formless cloud of electric…
Kachouzu
On Kachouzu, Merzbow compresses his late‑period harshness into four short movements, a 2×6″ lathe‑cut blast where metallic textures, searing feedback and dense midrange roar behave less like tracks than like successive cross‑sections of the same noise storm.
Antibox
With Antibes, The New Blockaders compress twelve years of activity into a fiercely curated 4CD set, 100 copies only, each hand‑signed and uniquely defaced. It plays like a late‑period labyrinth: alternates, rarities, and lost shards arranged as a single, anti‑retrospective.
Succès De Scandale
On Succès De Scandale, The New Blockaders exhume and reframe their own history, collaging a feral 1984 Morden Tower performance with later materials into a single, rust‑coloured slab of anti‑music that feels like the group’s original sabotage reactivated for the present.
Kronos Quartet Performs Philip Glass
On Kronos Quartet Performs Philip Glass, Kronos Quartet turns four string quartets into a self‑portrait of the composer, charting his path from theatre and film scores to music written directly for the group, all in a language of pulsed clarity and slowly deepening harmony.
Pierrot
At a time when most bands in the post-Group Sounds boom were gravitating toward British rock, Hiroshi Segawa stood out as one of the few artists exploring country and southern rock sung in Japanese. "Pierrot" represents a peak in that pursuit, backed by an all-star lineup from Japan’s New Rock movement: Hideki Ishima and Jun Kozuki from Flower Travellin’ Band, Tetsu Uchiyama and Hiromi Harada from Samurai, and Katsuo Ohno from PYG.
This reissue includes the bonus track "Kimi ga Ita Shiroi Heya…
