Kyoto 1970
Edition of 400. Wired was an ephemeral improvisational music project formed by Michael Ranta, Karl-Heinz Böttner, and Mike Lewis. On 28 April 1970, the trio recorded an extended studio session of approximately 140 minutes, in collaboration with Conny Plank, who engineered and mixed the recording in real time, incorporating elements of live electronics. This session was subsequently edited to album length and released in 1974 as part of the Free Improvisation 3LP box set issued by Deutsche Grammo…
Ste Cy
Ste Cy, the latest studio offering from the trio of Jac Berrocal, Vincent Epplay, and Timo van Luijk, ripens like a forbidden fruit—born of an improvised instrumental session captured in the secluded hush of Kulta Saha by Timo van Luijk.These raw recordings were later reshaped into 12 songs by Vincent Epplay at Studio Villejuif in Paris. And over it all drifts the poetry of Jac Berrocal - sensual and incendiary, seeping into the music like spice into flesh.
LP includes recto/verso insert with ly…
Through The Looking Glass
2026 Reissue. LP version. Originally issued in 1983, Midori Takada's debut LP Through The Looking Glass has long remained one of the most coveted artifacts to emerge from the fertile soil of 1980s Japanese experimental avant-garde. A near-perfect work - a window into the unquestionable singularity of its era and geography. For many record collectors, this is the great holy grail, the unobtainable gem. Its reemergence has been long awaited.
For Japanese experimental avant-garde musicians, the 198…
Gérard Grisey. Vortex Temporum
The first-ever vinyl release of Gérard Grisey’s Vortex Temporum (to our knowledge). Movements I and II appear as a single track to preserve their spectral continuity. The LP features cover art by Dariia Kuzmych and comes with a zine of her ballpoint drawings, merging time and human tissue.

American Bus
On American Bus, Jason Black and Arawak ride a 1977 dream of the U.S. West Coast: lean, blues‑edged funk‑rock cues, honking sax and one off‑route reggae detour, all conceived as Italian library visions of San Francisco from behind a bus window.
Telemusica N. 6
A 1973 library brief of “jazz + experimentation” into a compact film in sound, gliding from lush lounge and tense jazz‑funk to freaked‑out electronics and stark Nuova Consonanza‑style miniatures.
Ptah, The El Daoud
2026 repress * Grey-area LP reissue, perfect replica of the original * Ptah, the El Daoud, recorded and released in 1970, is the third solo album by Alice Coltrane. The album was recorded in the basement of her house in Dix Hills on Long Island, New York. This was Coltrane's first album with horns (aside from one track on A Monastic Trio – 1968 - on which Pharoah Sanders played bass clarinet). Sanders is recorded on the right channel and Joe Henderson on the left channel throughout. Coltrane not…
Afro-Harping
The jazz-funk metamorphosis of harpist Dorothy Ashby completed on her 1968 album released on Chess records subsidiary Cadet. The cycle was literally completed when the album – recorded on February of the same year in Chicago – hit the stores. With arrangements by Richard Evans and a killer (unknown) line-up the record is full of samples galore, from "Soul Vibrations" and "Come Live With Me", plus a version of "Little Sunflower" by Freddie Hubbard.
Tauhid
Recorded November 15, 1966 at Van Gelder Studios, Englewood Cliffs - New Jersey, Tauhid is one of the most iconic album recorded by the tenor saxophonist Pharoah Sanders. On his debut for Impulse ! the leader assembled an extraordinary line-up, defining the boundaries of the so-called spiritual jazz movement. Henry Grimes (bass) Roger Blank (drums), Sonny Sharrock (guitar), Nat Bettis (percussion) and Dave Burrell (piano)Pharoah, (born Farrell Sanders of Little Rock, Arkansas on October 13, 1940…
Karma
Karma is Pharoah Sanders' third recording as a leader, and is among a number of spiritually themed albums the Impulse! Record label released in the late 1960s/early 1970s. Although it is followed by the brief "Colors", the album's main piece is the 32-minute-long "The Creator Has a Master Plan", co-composed by Sanders with vocalist Leon Thomas. Some see this piece as a kind of sequel to Sanders' mentor John Coltrane's legendary 1964 recording A Love Supreme (whose opening it echoes in a muscular…
