Crow on the Dark Side of Gloss
Kraig Grady, an American based in Australia, is a microtonal composer. He explains it thus: “Alternative tunings are a major inspiration for my compositional explorations. The pivotal point for me was meeting with tuning theorist Ervin Wilson and witnessing Harry Partch’s U.S. Highball in 1975. I was convinced that working with different instruments and tunings was going to be a major artistic movement.
I began studying tuning with Wilson which continued for as long as we knew each other. … I’m …
Nebular
Created by correspondence between Christchurch and London, Nebular pairs Roy Montgomery's decaying post-rock, folk and drone guitar with Martha Skye Murphy's wordless, glossolalic voice. Stems traded by email at nocturnal hours, raw emotion launched into a time capsule for the stars.

Stone Flower
*2026 repress* Antônio Carlos Jobim was a primary force behind the evolution of bossa nova and his sixth studio release Stone Flower is an absolute classic. The album is emblematic of '70s bossa with its seductive samba beat fused with elements of modern jazz provided by a star-studded supporting cast of Ron Carter, Hubert Laws, Airto Moreira, and Joe Farrell. Stone Flower was recorded by Blue Note engineering virtuoso Rudy Van Gelder and arranged by fellow pianist and guitarist Eumir Deodato; t…
Construcao
*2026 repress* Construção (Portuguese for 'Construction') is the eighth studio album by Brazilian singer-songwriter Chico Buarque, released in December 1971. It was composed in periods between Buarque's exile in Italy and his return to Brazil. Lyrically, the album is loaded with criticisms of the Brazilian military dictatorship, especially with regard to the censorship imposed by the government at the time. It is widely regarded by music critics as one of the greatest Brazilian albums of all tim…
Down By Law
*2026 repress* The soundtrack to Jim Jarmusch's 1986 film Down By Law is composed and performed by John Lurie, who also plays the pimp Jack in the movie. His world-weary avant-jazz pieces like "Please Come to My House," "What Do You Know About Music, You're Not a Lawyer," "Strangers in the Day," and "Fork in the Road" convey the film's seedy but humorous crime story.
Baby Huey Story
*2026 repress* This is the only solo album by American soul singer James "Baby Huey" Ramey. He died at the age of 26 while recording his solo debut, and the album was finished and released posthumously. A quarter century after its release, The Baby Huey Story went on to become a cult classic among soul musicians and fans. Its single "Hard Times" has been sampled many times by a lot of artists and was covered by John Legend and the Roots in 2010 for the album Wake Up!
Cafe OTO
Legendary Japanese experimentalist Keiji Haino (Fushitsusha) and London's fearless drummer Steve Noble took to the stage at Cafe OTO in 2012 for a monumental concert - with Haino's extreme treatments of electric guitar, and feedback, with Noble on a lot of percussion...
While Haino theatrically sweeps between bleak and uninhibited paranoia, deep-level zoning and bluesy contemplation, Noble's huge set up and graceful approach brings space, light and shade - so much so that at one point Haino unpl…
Scintillae
For fifty years, the piano has been the backbone of Raymond Deane’s creative output. This journey began at age sixteen with the first Orphic Piece, a work that set the stage for a career defined by breaking contemporary taboos. Rejecting both the strict rules of traditional keys and the lawlessness of atonality, Deane creates his own temporary musical structures, constantly building them up and dismantling them again. For him, composition is a process of conflict and negotiation, allowing for th…
Live in Arles 1975 (2LP)
Seventh entry in the essential Can live series, and one of the great ones. A hot August night in 1975, the Roman Théâtre Antique in Arles, the core four locked in: Irmin Schmidt, Michael Karoli, Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay. No safety net, just the band stretching out in real time.
For decades this concert lived only in the stories of the people who were there, the recording buried in the Spoon Records vaults. Unearthed at last for its first ever release, with sleeve notes drawn from first-h…
Zero Talk
Two of experimental music's most uncompromising minds, together at last, and never once in direct contact. Kevin Drumm and Taku Unami made Zero Talk without ever speaking to each other. It started in late 2024, when producer Jon Abbey asked Unami to master Drumm's Sheer Hellish Miasma II. Unami was thrilled: Drumm is his favorite musician. Drumm loved the result. Even then, the two never really talked, Abbey spoke to each of them separately. In mid 2025 Abbey proposed a collaborative Erst. Both …
Heavenly Hills
*300 copies limited edition* Good Morning Tapes are back with a new album of lushest New Age sound-bathing x emotionally gooey trip hop from Andro Gogibedashvili aka Saphileaum.
Saphileaum has spent the past decade in passage between notable houses of atmospheric sorcery - Mule Musiq, Not Not Fun, Slow Life, Constellation Tatsu - and of course Good Morning Tapes, who now host their 3rd meeting, »Heavenly Hills«. A definitive chapter in his ten year saga, it is flush with symphonic strings and sk…
The Kid!
Harold Ousley’s The Kid! is a superb example of early-1970s soul-jazz and jazz-funk, putting the spotlight on the saxophonist’s distinctive tone and commanding presence. From the first notes, the album radiates energy and character, marrying dynamic phrasing with a deeply confident sense of swing.
The record thrives on infectious grooves, a tightly locked rhythm section, and spirited improvisation that keeps the music moving at every turn. Seamlessly blending the worlds of jazz, funk, and soul, …
Tunis Hotel Stereo
In the years after independence, Tunisia made an unlikely bet: tourism. Beach resorts rose along the coast, each one trying to outshine the next, and each one needing a band to entertain their guests. A whole generation of musicians grew up on those hotel stages - sharing bills with James Brown, Claude François and the Mingus Dynasty - and what came out of it was a small revolution. Funk played on Tunisian instruments. Disco with an oud in it. Reggae carried back from the island of Kerkennah. A …
Marrakech / La Luz Del Fin Del Mundo
We return to the domestic scene with one of the most coveted items for Spanish record collectors. All sorts of stories circulate about this record: some claim to have seen it decades ago at a fair, while others recount how a fellow collector managed to snag a copy in the early days of the internet. The truth is that those who can boast of having the original on their shelf can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
A true rara avis recorded by Expresion in 1974 for the Musimar label, this legend…
Tages
*100 copies limited edition* There is a strange form of clairvoyance that does not look to the future, but digs back into the earth, into the ground itself. Etruscan mythology tells that the small Tages who emerged from the furrow of a plowed field at Tarquinia was not an ordinary child, but memory itself—coming from the earth’s innards—to dictate its divinatory secrets. For the seventh installment of the Drove catalog, the ensemble Oracle Column turns this myth into sound material, treating mag…
Megachurch
*50 copies limited edition* Megachurch is a collaborative album by Perry Frank & Matteo Cantaluppi, featuring Marco Scipione on processed saxophone.Combining ambient textures, analog arpeggiators, and sculpted timbres, the record explores the idea of the “church” not as a religious site, but as a mental and acoustic space.
It is a sonic cathedral built from echoes, delays, silences, and layered textures. The saxophone does not preach — it breathes. The synthesizers don’t lead a ritual — they rep…
Domestic Dragon
Once again studio master / composer / bassist Guy Segers assembles a huge cast of progressive musicians to perform / improvise 8 new pieces. Guy's methods of composition and collage remain as before, but each new Eclectic Maybe Band release brings a new perspective to the music. This time round harder, more brittle sounds emerge from an album with a very punchy attitude. A mixture of avant pop and progressive complexity.
