Kind of Blue
*Listed as one of the four most influential Jazz albums that happened to be released in 1959 (Dave Brubeck -Time Out & Charles Mingus -Ah Um among them), so much has been said and written about Miles Davis'Kind Of Blue, it's virtually impossible to summarize all the necessary info to the length of this page. We could simply list some facts (best sold Jazz album ever worldwide). We could try to explain why it's the best Jazz album ever made, but the music itself will do that to you.

The Pink Violin (Book)
The Pink Violin by Jon Rose and Rainer Linz is a gloriously over‑the‑top fake biography of non‑existent violinist–composer Dr. Johannes Rosenberg, a “reformist parody” that lampoons art‑school scholarship, new‑music mythologies and violin culture with such detail and deadpan rigor it almost passes for the real thing.
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.
Mystic Suite
On Mystic Suite, Atlantis Jazz Ensemble descend into the underworld of spiritual jazz, weaving Hadean myth, modal fire and Afro-inflected grooves into the darkest, most searching chapter of their cosmic trilogy.
Celestial Suite
On Celestial Suite, Atlantis Jazz Ensemble stretch their spiritual soul-jazz into a full skyward arc, an unbroken studio suite where modal grooves, Afro-Latin currents and meditative codas move like one long, rising breath.
Oceanic Suite
On Oceanic Suite, Atlantis Jazz Ensemble ride a warm, late‑night current of modal grooves and spiritual inflections, with trumpet, alto, Rhodes, bass and drums flowing together in live‑off‑the‑floor conversations that feel both loose and meticulously steered.
Call to a Crow - Appelle un Corbeau, 2024 (Leporello Book)
** 2026 Stock. Leporello French/English ** Call to a Crow – Appelle un corbeau gathers a series of short poems by David Horvitz, originally conceived for the first Son Biennale in 2023, into a leporello that reads like a pocket field guide to listening and imagining in the Alps. Each phrase is both poem and instruction, a small performative score that invites the reader to tune themselves to the landscape and its absences. “Imagine the sound of the footsteps of someone who is no more,” “Imagine …
1998 (Book)
** 2026 Stock. Edition of 500 ** 1998 brings back into circulation one of Ugo Rondinone’s most intimate and unsettling projects: a diary from his five-part cycle of the 1990s, written and drawn between 1992 and 1998 as the AIDS crisis pushed a newly fearful, homophobic Western society to shove queer lives back into the shadows. Rather than responding with slogans or safe symbolism, Rondinone invented “Ugo,” an artist and drug addict living in Zurich, and followed him across hundreds of pages of …
Postcards from Arrakis
On Postcards from Arrakis, BeNe GeSSeRiT turn early‑’80s bedroom electronics into a fractured sci‑fi cabaret, where Alain Neffe’s minimal, skewed backdrops and Nadine Bal’s bilingual/imaginary vocal spills collide in short, surreal missives from a parallel cheap‑cosmic Belgium.
Reflections Vol. 3: Water Poems
** Edition of 300. Glacial Blue Vinyl ** On Reflections Vol. 3: Water Poems, Félicia Atkinson and Christina Vantzou channel their friendship and atmospheric artistry into ceremonial focus. Spoken-word environments and orchestral imagination flow like tributaries into a unified stream, resulting in a collection of dreamlike songs and soundscapes anchored in sea, sky and stone. Through electro-acoustic instrumentation, voice, and environmental sound, Water Poems invites listeners into a subconscio…
Ensamseglaren
Huge Tip! Small repress. "I stood on top of the mountain and looked out over the landscape. It was so beautiful that my chest hurt. The light vibrated, time stood still, and the contours dissolved for a moment. Everything had changed; I felt it then. I took their little hands so as not to lose contact with the ground. Then we ran down the mountain, scraping our knees. Still, we didn't make it. You had already put away all the nautical charts, loosened the moorings and steered out among the skerr…
The Performative Word (Book)
The first monograph on John Giorno (1936-2019), poet, performer and activist who brought the written word off the page and into life. Accompanying the MAMbo Bologna retrospective, it maps six decades of radical practice at the crossroads of poetry, art and political action.
Zouroku No Kibyou
The first album by the most extreme noise project to ever come out of Osaka, now in a second deluxe edition that borders on insanity: natural birch wooden box, hand-numbered to 99 copies, color print lid reproducing the iconic cover art by manga master Hideshi Hino. Inside: the LP, a 40-page book of raw concert photos, a cassette of six rare studio tracks from April and June 1980 - Hijokaidan's primal first breaths - four postcards, a massive poster, a live photo book, liner notes by Jojo Hirosh…
Remblandt Assemblage
One of the most essential early documents of Japanese noise, originally recorded and mixed at home in 1980 and released in 1981 on cassette by Lowest Music & Arts, now given the physical treatment it always deserved: a 2LP set housed in a natural birch wooden box with laser print, hand-numbered edition of just 99 copies. Ninety-nine! With a double-sided 42 x 60 cm poster, heavy card insert reproducing the original master tape cover, and black cardboard strip with album credits. An art object, pl…
Music in Continuous Motion
Bill Orcutt is back with what might be the most beautiful record in his 21st-century guitar quartet series. Music in Continuous Motion (Palilalia, LP/CD) pointedly steps away from the cut-and-paste constructivism of Music for Four Guitars into a sonic stratum that's - as Tom Carter writes - "yearningly melodic, resolutely human, and built for performance." Four guitars, twelve tracks, most hovering around two-and-a-half minutes each. No waste. No fat. Pure music.
Where Music for Four Guitars ope…
The Black Ark
Huuuge Tip! In the pantheon of classic free jazz, Noah Howard's The Black Ark looms large. Recorded at Bell Sound Studios in New York City in 1969 - just prior to the alto saxophonist's relocation to Europe - the album was eventually released in 1972 on Alan Bates's Freedom label, and has since acquired near-mythical status among collectors and devotees of the music. Now, Superior Viaduct presents the definitive remastered edition on vinyl, restoring this landmark to the visibility it has always…
Dogon A.D.
Complete sessions / expanded edition. One of the most important jazz albums of the 1970s – finally in its definitive edition. Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. is the missing link between the avant-garde and the blues, between the cotton fields and outer space. Recorded on a freezing February day in 1972 at Oliver Sain's Archway Studios in St. Louis – no heat, malfunctioning equipment, some musicians didn't even show up – and yet what emerged was nothing short of a masterpiece. An "almost accidental …
Nimbus West CD megabundle
Specially priced bundle drawn from the catalog of Nimbus West, the American label widely regarded as the greatest single depository of West Coast avant-garde jazz. With the label's future uncertain and no represses planned, this is a final opportunity to explore one of the most vital and visionary corners of recorded jazz before it disappears from circulation for good. The bundle also includes The Tapscott Sessions Vol. 8, a touching tribute to Adele Sebastian and one of the most beautiful entri…
Mount Analogue
On Mount Analogue, Bill Laswell and P.ST assemble an international cast to translate René Daumal’s unfinished mountain allegory into a two‑disc sonic ascent: a six‑part electro‑acoustic “novel” and a mirrored peak of solo guitar visions from Henry Kaiser, refracted through Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain.
