Ourang-Outang
In August 1971, the white wizards of South Africa's psychedelic rock underground shared the stage with the black witchdoctors of the Afro-jazz avant-garde. The event was the Tribal Blues concerts at Wits Great Hall, an unprecedented cross-cultural showcase of independent music hosted by the maverick 3rd Ear Music label. Ourang-Outang (2020) presents rehearsals and jams recorded by 3rd Ear director, producer and engineer David Marks in rural KwaZulu-Natal as this unlikely alliance of musical drui…
Fantasy Train
From a southern small town this after school project is hard to describe other than there’s nothing else like it. Teens exploring soul, funk and rock and this album is their interpretation of all three. Catchy tunes, plenty of effects and earnest vocals. Fantasy Train is one of the freshest sounds I’ve heard in many years of digging. – Rich Haupt (Rockadelic)
Fantasy Train is a unique, genre-bending album cooked up in the sweltering Southern heat that impresses me with a special kind of style a…
Haunted Holiday Party
Following the release of Haunted House Party, Bradley Thomas Turner was contacted by the Cryptozoological Society of New York City to create music for their museum’s holiday exhibitions. As enigmatic as they are controversial, the secretive society gave the composer free rein to create music that celebrated their profane (and, according to their critics, pseudoscientific) explorations of the darker side of yuletide folklore. The endeavour was denounced by religious groups, the scientific communi…
Underloop
After following Luke Blair's work for approaching two decades from his 2007 debut as Lukid on Actress' Werk Discs, we're humbled to present a new album on Death Is Not The End. Following relatively hot on the heels of 2023's Tilt (his first in 11 years, not counting his work with Jackson Bailey under the Rezzett guise) Underloop brings Blair's innate knack for building loops and sound structures further to the surface, while allowing his ear for emotional expression to be dialled up a notch.

Quintessence
A remarkable document finally surfaces after nearly 40 years in the NDR archives. John Taylor - the piano master of dense, orchestral voicings and skittish melodic invention - captured here in 1987 with the full NDR Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dieter Glawischnig. All music written and orchestrated by Taylor himself. This is the logical conclusion of everything the man stood for musically - from Azimuth to Johnny Griffin's band to this luxurious symphonic setting. Stan Sulzmann on sopra…
The Day Of The Jackal (Music From The Motion Picture)
In the centenary year of his birth, Quartet Records unveils for the first time the complete score that Georges Delerue composed for Fred Zinnemann's masterful 1973 thriller The Day of the Jackal - a work largely unheard until now, buried beneath the weight of editorial decisions that stripped the film's second half of any musical accompaniment.
Based on Frederick Forsyth's bestselling novel, the film follows a professional assassin hired by disgruntled military veterans to eliminate President Ch…
L'ineluctable pulsation du temps
Building upon a prolific period that has witnessed the French composer, vocalist, and multi instrumentalist deliver roughly a dozen remarkable releases overthe last five years, Delphine Dora joins Marionette with ‘L’ineluctable pulsation du temps’, what might just be her most astounding release to date. Comprising ten keyboard driven compositions across its two sides, in unfurling sheets of texture, timbre, and tone, Dora draws a constellation of touchstones into her fold — Impressionism, Minim…
Félicité Thösz
The masters of Zeuhl return on vinyl! Christian Vander's cosmic vision at its most luminous and transcendent. Originally released in 2012, Félicité Thösz was Magma's first album of new material in 27 YEARS after their 1996 reformation. Think about that for a second. Twenty-seven years!
And what a comeback this is. Gone are the martial thunderstorms of Mekanïk Destruktïw Kommandöh - here we get celestial vocal tapestries, Stella Vander's voice soaring like a messenger from another dimension, pian…
Mimosa Pudica
Mimosa Pudica brings together two works by Luciano Maggiore, both conceived as live performances structured around the presence and behaviour of an audience. In both cases, rhythmic and formal elements arise from acts of observation and listening: eye contact, involuntary sounds, shifts of attention, hesitation, withdrawal.
Mimosa Pudica reconstructs the conditions of these works in the absence of an audience. The record operates as a displacement: a concert without spectators, a live situation…
Autodidact II
*Limited edition of 100 copies* Finally! The crucial 2021 album by Middlesbrough's Oli Heffernan gets the double vinyl treatment it always deserved. Originally released as a cassette on Cruel Nature Records and gone way too fast, Autodidact II is one of the great documents of UK experimental music from this decade - a sprawling, fog-drenched journey through psychogeography, North Yorkshire folklore and sonic territories that shift under your feet.
Recorded during three separate sessions in July …
Horizonte
On Horizonte, PSI channel the late‑’70s German fusion boom into a lean, high‑octane set where Matthias Frey’s electric keys and Volkmar Zimmermann’s manic guitar ride a phenomenal rhythm section, delivering melodically rich jazz‑rock that punches as hard as it dazzles.
Four Seasons
Four Season finds Virgo - the German fusion group that first came together as Lava in 1974 - stepping away from major‑label orbit into a more autonomous, exploratory phase, stretching their jazz‑rock language into a calmly expansive, four‑part suite tracked at Tonstudio Bauer in late 1976.
Park Of Reason
On Park of Reason, Paul Chain loosens doom metal’s grip just enough to let in air, colour and delirium, fusing obsidian riffs, reverb‑soaked keys and his unmistakable glossolalic vocals into a wandering, lysergic meditation on faith, doubt and psychic drift.
Ten Types Of Elsewhere
20+ year reissue of Mark Fell’s uniquely compelling debut solo album; a fascinating experimental playground for his ideas on topology, asymmetry, and spatiotemporal disruption, triggering one of modern electronic music’s most fanciful, radical, and peerless catalogues. Essential listening for anyone on the line from Autechre to Ikeda.
balança e paixão
xavisphone's debut for Modern Love hits with unrelenting energy; a hyper-kinetic, red-lining funk that joins dots between DJ Anderson do Paraiso’s darkside minimalism, Equiknoxx’s riddmic pressure and DJ Ramon Sucesso’s walloping delirium.
Deserted Palace
Transversales Disques proudly presents the first official LP reissue of "Deserted Palace", studio album written & performed by Jean Michel Jarre in 1972, during his work experience at G.R.M. (Groupe de Recherches Musicales). In 1971, an order was placed with producer Francis Dreyfus to provide sound for public places such as airports and libraries. He decided to pass the project on to Jean-Michel, who had recently been signed by his record company.
These fifteen tracks are made with only two syn…
Deathgames
*150 copies limited edition* After the success of his debut 'Stealer' and the relative failure of his follow up 'The Great Tower', soon to be legendary director Mikkel Mannheimer needed a hit, eventually finding it in the now cult horror classic 'Deathgames'.
Set against the backdrop of a grimy, sleazy 1980s New York, Deathgames follows savant ex-profiler turned true crime writer Gil Wrexham, as he finds himself dug far too deep in an active case. At each turn the equally clever killer is slowly…
Time Space Existence
*60 copies limited edition* The time that flows here remains constant even though the space has changed with the time passing by. This project explores the time and existence of the imaginary space associated with the sounds and melodies. The project highlights the sounds and melodies placed between the boundary of nature and human-made, fragments of the natural - cultural aspects and takes a deconstructive approach to explore the time and space through the soundscape. The sounds and melodies ar…
Dream Flow
*80 copies limited edition* In the sleep of forms, everything bends and unravels. “Dream Flow” is a liquid threshold — a single current from the first drop to the vanishing of the self. It does not tell a dream: it lets it happen, like a thought forgetting it ever began. Raindrops arise in sinking feelings; fractures bloom where things are hollow — a recasting of indices spirals toward the vanishing, and the echo dreams itself anew.
The Dimensional Loom
*60 copies limited edition* The Washing Planck present The Dimensional Loom, an instrumental electronic album born from the desire to explore and define a distinctly steampunk sonic identity. In a musical landscape where the word “steampunk” is often confined to visual, textual, or narrative aesthetics, this project offers both a reflection and a proposition. Without denying the literary or iconographic foundations of the genre, The Dimensional Loom seeks to translate steampunk into sound: the f…
