The sound attracted various musicians for its poetic essence, playful rhythms, and the American jazz-bossa and jazz-samba fusion. João Gilberto, a key figure in Bossa Nova, stated that its foundational s…

*100 copies limited edition* Salix is a bold new departure for modular synthesist Loula Yorke, seen here using an antique reed organ to explore the ancient roots of willow trees in magic, myth and medicine, as well as inviting another musician into her recording studio for the first time, clarinettist Charlotte Jolly. The EP forms a sonic archive of a singular instrument: an antique free reed organ left behind by a previous encumbent of Asylum Studios, (the artists' co-operative in Suffolk where…
The first song cycle collaboration by this new partnership is a highly adventurous and ambitious work, and one which explores a journey through dark places expressed in an improvisation-based language of strange sounds and textures, plus some unexpected left turns into electronic and choral music, before emerging from the woodland and into the morning light. I make a lot of records. In fact most years I release more albums than I make live performances. But this one is special to me in many ways…

Special discounted Bundle. Two of the greatest free jazz records ever laid to tape, back where they belong. Superior Viaduct reissues Noah Howard's The Black Ark and Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. — both from 1972, both inexplicably scarce for decades, both essential.

On Super Compact Disc, Masonna rams his entire harsh‑noise vocabulary into a brutally compressed format: hyper‑short eruptions of feedback, distortion and mangled voice that hit like jump‑cuts between micro‑meltdowns, leaving no room to breathe or acclimate.
On Noisextra, Masonna condenses his infamous live violence into ultra‑compressed shock cells: all‑frequency spray, cut‑up screams and convulsive drop‑outs that feel less like tracks than controlled electrical injuries to the stereo field.
On Ardeur, Eskaton condense Zeuhl’s celestial fury into a tighter, more direct form: spiralling dual vocals, ferocious rhythm section and glowing keyboards driving short, explosive pieces that feel like 4 Visions rewritten as concentrated plasma.
On Utopic Sporadic Orchestra - Nancy 1975, Jannick Top finally steps to the front of a large ensemble, unleashing a monumental, eighteen‑piece orchestral incarnation of his Zeuhl opus De Futura - a once‑in‑a‑lifetime blast of mythic low‑end and collective propulsion.
