Clearlight Symphony
A long overdue gathering. For more than half a century, Cyrille Verdeaux's Clearlight project has occupied one of the strangest and most overlooked positions in the landscape of 1970s European progressive music - a French ensemble whose foundational …
Vol.3
On Vol.3, Heimito Künst abandons drift for brutal repetition, channeling Thomas Bernhard and 19th‑century auditory therapy into a krautrock‑acid vortex where Moog, Mellotron and pounding drum machines turn obsessive sonic loops into a deeply psychede…
Uneven Geometry
*27 copies limited edition* A limited edition of 27 reel-to-reel tapes, assembled by hand. Housed in a rigid black 'pizza' box and sealed with a pink sticker, each copy carries traces of manual handling and slight variation. The reel sits exposed wit…
Live in Europe 1968 & 1972
On Live in Europe 1968 & 1972, Marion Brown leads a borderless quartet through two rare European concerts, pairing his singing alto with Gunter Hampel's vibes, Barre Phillips' bass and Steve McCall's drums in a sound that hovers between lyrical free …
Sonic House Reunion
On Sonic House Reunion, Bobby Bradford, Mark Dresser and Hafez Modirzadeh reconvene a long‑running alliance, turning cornet, five‑string bass and hybrid reeds into a quietly radical chamber unit where Ornette‑rooted lyricism, spectral tuning and deep…
Sun's Blessings
On Sun’s Blessings, Sunny Murray and Sabu Toyozumi meet as a double‑drum frontline, turning a 1999 Sapporo concert into a two‑part ritual where clattering polyrhythms, rolling thunder and sudden hollows of space make free improvisation feel both volc…
Keeping It In Context
On Keeping It In Context, Daniel Carter, Sabir Mateen, William Parker and Lou Grassi turn a 1996 Context Studios session into a blazing, deep‑listening workshop, with twin reeds, singing bass and restless drums stretching free jazz language without l…
Anamnesis+
Scorn is dead. Mick Harris has said it himself, repeatedly, over the years, but this time the sentence has the weight of finality. Anamnesis, expanded to a four LP set and issued by GOD Records as catalog GOD 80, is the last word. Few projects have t…
Paradessence
Paradessence, Visible Cloak’s third full length, is an album of tension and reassurance. Its thirteen songs shift, heave, and shimmer against a faintly luminous backdrop of night, a cavern-like space shaped by sparse hyperreal representations of the …
Enth

Sédiment
*80 copies limited edition* I often went for walks in the Colonster woods; I always found the place quite mysterious, both in its light and its soundscapes. These soundscapes evolve as you walk through the woods, passing through its lights and fir fo…
Two museums
*80 copies limited edition* There is a science museum that was built when I was a child. It has an exhibition building and a planetarium. I visited it a lot at different times. Because it was built a long time ago, the atmosphere inside feels like go…
The Sea
"It might sound like a cliché, but the music on the album "The Sea" emerged from watching the sea every morning on Fårö - more precisely, in Aursviken. It was the subtle shifts in the sea, the waves, the direction of the wind, and the colour of the s…

Pink Floyd’s legendary Wembley 1974 performance captures the band at one of the most pivotal moments in their career, as they toured in support of the groundbreaking The Dark Side Of The Moon. Recorded during a period of extraordinary creative moment…

In any band there is a constant push and pull. A state of tension and release between written music and improvisation, between leading and following. In the instinctive, unpredictable world of jazz, that push and pull can explode groups and compositi…
