Tumblack
A massive speaker-smashing release, decades overdue. It's been bootlegged - shamefully so, many times over the years - but finally we present the first ever officially licensed reissue of this truly special Afro-disco-not-disco LP from 1979. A favourite of Harvey, Antal, Young Marco and, er, every great DJ to ever play deep records ever, basically. It's not hard to see - or, indeed, *feel* why.
Gem after gem of relentless, irresistibly funky gold, it's an incredibly revelatory album with endless…
Alchemy
The 1st release by Third Ear Band from the UK. Shorter tracks than found on later albums, the band here makes excursions into improvised chamber music. Guitar meets recorder and violin in a disharmonic free jazz summit that fades away before building into a trancy mini-crescendo. Reissued with a pasted gatefold hardboard sleeve.

Lux
Another foggy day in Yorkshire. A steel grey sky. Raindrops tracing one another down the windowpane. Kirk Barley sits in his studio and assembles compositions from scraps of found sound and live instrumentation. Melodies swell, withdraw and repeat like waves. Time slows. Accelerates. Slows again. The light bends, tweaked at the edges. Twisted by rhythms that never quite resolve.
Written, recorded and produced by Barley in Yorkshire in early 2024, Lux picks up where 2023 LP Marionette leaves off,…

Journey Into a Dream
F. G. Experimental Laboratory means Frédy Guye, an artist from the French speaking part of Switzerland who fiddles with sound. Every instrument is played by himself: the organ, the synthesizer with its additional gadgets, and the electric guitar. Yet, he doesn't sound like Mike Oldfield at all, but sometimes rather like Klaus Schulze. F. G. Experimental Laboratory plays a musical mix of electronic and classic which is as unusual as exceptional. In 1975 he released an LP on his own edition Frédy …

Freed from the page, his poetry acquires an unexpected simplicity and poignance it possessed all along. This all-star and intergenerational lineup of artists conjure wisdom from his words: sp…

You Are Here... I Am There
The debut album by forward-thinking English piano player Keith Tippett was a turning point in british jazz evolution. The overall atmosphere and aura of You Are Here... I Am There points at the influences of American jazz musicians such as John Coltrane, Archie Shepp, and Charles Mingus. The record shows a strong tendency, however, towards a distinctive sound that was, at the time, new, embraced by musicians such as Jan Garbarek and Ian Carr. Above all, Keith Tippett's compositional style bears …
