Ground-breaking afro-rock and jazz with Memphis soul roots on this lost 1972 gem.

To launch the new Lunar Module imprint from Castles In Space, Gordon Chapman-Fox presents us with an album of cinematic ambient music, stepping away from his usual analogue synthesizer tones. “I wanted to stretch my legs and create something more long form, organic and immersive than my Warrington-Runcorn persona” says Gordon. “I hope the title speaks for itself. This is ambient music, but its not background music. This is very much for the foreground. To be played loudly and to lose yourself in…

Lunar Module are thrilled to announce the release of a new Hawksmoor album from Bristolian musician James McKeown, 'An Aesthetic' – Experiments In Tape. 'An Aesthetic' is a testament to McKeown's dedication to exploring the boundaries of sound. By layering the wow, flutter and warble of tape artifacts, he crafts a sonic landscape that echoes the ethereal hiss and mist drenched ‘rural psychedelia’ of Bristol's own Flying Saucer Attack, as well as the early hauntological, experimental landscapes o…

Evis Sammoutis’ music is a dynamic fusion of physicality, virtuosity, and cultural depth. Drawing on his Cypriot roots and diverse training, his compositions explore tactile soundscapes, poetic contrasts, and neurological aesthetics. Works like Echopraxia and In Darkness challenge conventions of imitation and vulnerability, while Rhymes and Engravings evoke intricate structures and materiality. Inspired by literature, visual art, and the expressive potential of sound, Sammoutis crafts music that…

Scottish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist James Yorkston, English guitarist David A. Jaycock, and Swedish saxophonist Lina Langendorf unite in a collaborative album that seamlessly weaves together elements of folk, jazz, and atmospheric soundscapes. This project, born from longstanding friendships and mutual musical admiration, offers a richly textured journey—both intimate and expansive. The album's genesis lies in Yorkston's enduring partnership with Jaycock, dating back to their co…

Tip! Following the much-lauded trio of meditations, from Woo, Davis Galvin and Graintable, that launched the series, "Cosmos" continues the label's gentle exploration of music to accompany moments of nurture and patience. This composition from E Ruscha V, once again mirrors the quiet and satisfying tending of the season ahead, creating space for contemplation and the witnessing of gradual transformation. A multi-disciplinary artist rooted in Los Angeles, Ruscha approaches instruments as living e…

Portland-based ambient architect and far afield sound technician Graintable, aka James Cooke returns with his debut outing on Music To Watch Seeds Grow By and his fourth in the R$N stable; 'Blue Flax'. Following his acclaimed and sold out cassette releases 'Herons', 'Universal Ash' and ‘The Rain In The Trees’ on Ransom Note Records, this new collection sees Cooke delving deeper into the intersection of natural processes and liminal organic electronics. 'Blue Flax', the resilient flowering plant …

In “Tom’s House”, a new audio-drama from artist and writer Jacob Dwyer, we listen to the meanderings of someone who’s returned home for the first time in 15 years. Walking up Haddon Drive he spots the house of an old friend, Tom. The front door is open, so he goes inside. Wandering around the empty Tudor cottage - making cups of tea, rearranging CD collections and zoning in on the minutiae of domestic space - he ruminates on ideas of emotional intimacy, friendship and grief. "Hello? Hello?" echo…

"“I was admitted to Son Llàtzer Hospital in Mallorca on October 1, 2024, following a psychotic shock”. This could well have been the opening sentence of a confessional novel but it’s not. It’s the first line of an email, which landed in my mailbox seemingly out of nowhere. The words were written by Baptiste Martin, the composer behind Les Halles. In his letter, sent as a pdf document, Baptiste offered his friends a concise but striking report on his whereabouts from the past months. In brief, Ba…

Tip! *2025 stock* Three-Way Association by Selfish Limbs is a four-track concept album of ambient music, eclectic words, and minimalistic graphic artwork. As another addition to the Adventurous Music Books Series, it starts with the sound that is of spherical crackles and ethereal voices which sometimes seem like coming from Nordic folk music. In addition, choral soundscapes and soft drone-like atmospheres alternate, and dark horizons meet soothing bass. While listening to this, the clear writte…

*2025 stock* The black door gives access to alternative versions of similar realities. What is real? What is it to be here? What is? Just like the material under your feet feels like the ground even though you may be on the top floor of a building, so is the vision of things around us determined by consciousness and limitations of the mind. Where and when is the start of a nebula and when does it end? Can you hold a plume of smoke in your hands or knock down the sound of the rain? The collection…

*2025 stock* 'Ibidem' is a collaborative project between experimental composer Iván Muela and visual artist Meneh Peh. It is presented as a 3-hour drone ambient album accompanied by a book of analog photo collages inspired by the music and the creative process behind it. “I’ve always been fascinated by the movement embedded in apparent stillness, like when you focus your attention on the surface of a lake and start noticing the ever-evolving patterns and the chaos happening in the water. Each tr…

*2025 stock* Relatives Schoensein is a photo series by the German artist Signalstoerung, in which he explores the beauty of things, that are maybe not seen as beautiful by the majority of people. Part 2 of this series examines the philosophical question: Advertisement - information or manipulation? Advertisement is a form of communication that aims to inform and persuade people to buy a product or service. The main purpose of advertisements is to generate profits for businesses and increase thei…

Amongst all the Italian encounters Bamboo Shows made over the years, here come Matteo Coffetti and Kakofonico under their moniker Ninja Exotic Machine. The Turinese duo plays a key role in the development of sunitty, both with their different musical projects and the vanguard leftfield bass label Pho Bho Records they run with Tundra & Federico Spini.

The A-Side, Imago Mutatis, is a soundtrack composed for the live show ‘Imago Mutatis’, a performance stirring together music, dance, costumes and scenography; a fantastic tale about spiritual transformation, magical objects and enchanted places. This original soundtrack, divided into four acts, recounts the vicissitudes of Seiti’s search for …

Idylla is the third of part of a trilogy of nature-based recordings that Polish composer Michał Jacaszek has recorded for Touch. The first, Catalogue des Arbres (Touch TO:94), was a collaboration with Kwartludium that celebrated the earlier inspiration of French composer Olivier Messiaen's Catalogue des Oiseaux (1958). Gardenia (Touch TO:117) was a response to a field recording workshop organised by Francisco Lopez in Limpopo province in South Africa, on the border with Botswana, the participant…

*100 copies limited edition* "The human obsession with exploring; risking life — whether to establish a name, expand human knowledge, or simply discover what’s over the horizon. A theme repeated by civilisation over thousands of years. Our planet-wide presence is evidence of our compulsion to explore and fulfil our desire to create paths. It will continue for as long as we remain curious." zYklen (Neotantra, Mare Nostrum, Chitra Records) is Simon Ferris, a musician, composer and synthesist, base…

*150 copies limited edition* 'Tarnished Tapes and Saturated Signals' continues the sonic journey I explored in my last album, Sacred Tonalities (Past Inside The Present, 2023). Now, having broken free from the prison of time, I can freely revisit its very beginnings. This is reflected not only in my production process, where I carefully sculpted each sound within a heavily layered texture, lo-fi aesthetic, and analogue recording, but also in the central idea behind each piece. To me, this music …

The heart sits and takes in all wakes of the universe. A blessing to discover sound and how it enters the body and is shared to all. I feel the sound wraps in and out of my heart and pours through the saxophone. Searching, discovering the Creator. I pray this music reaches into your heart, goes all the way to the deepest place and blossoms up the most beautiful gardens of joy and love, curiosity. I am forever grateful to meet souls such as Lex, Miguel, and Caroline. Through these recordings I po…

In the Minoan culture of Crete, the sea was seen as a transitional zone to reach the afterlife. The sun reflected on the water took on the features of a path to follow in order to be reborn into a new life. Angeli crosses this place of passage, leaving behind granite for a sweeping lava-like transformation. While Lema passes through the concept of loss, within the space of his guitar-orchestra, the Sardinian musician celebrates an album that embraces both tradition and musical countercultures, c…

In his album Tarió, Manuel Contreras Vázquez presents a profound engagement with Latin American history, sound exploration, and experimental notation. Through intricate timbral textures and an architectural approach to composition, his works navigate themes of memory, resistance, and human experience. From intimate solo pieces to collective vocal and instrumental forces, Contreras Vázquez challenges conventional musical boundaries, blending silence, phonetics, and social narratives. This album o…

This compelling album presents works by Israeli composer Chaya Czernowin, exploring the fragile balance between destruction and communication, control and surrender. Seltene Erde transforms the double bass and ensemble into a shifting landscape of illusion and resonance, evoking the invisible forces shaping our world. Atara, born from the isolation of 2020, is a powerful orchestral lament, where vast sonic masses collide with the delicate voices of two singers, lost yet luminous. Through these w…

Haxholm & Kirstein's performance installation is a carefully planned two-day process involving smoke, lime, various containers, sound, movement and physical work - inside and outside the museum's grounds. The work explores connections between the sublime and the banal, between the work of the day and the elongated time of the material. Between these poles are energy exchanges and feedback processes that transform and dissolve themselves. The duo's works address a field between performative sound…

"Incidentally this cassette confirms a sinister suspicion I've had for a while that the synthetic pan flute is back - fantastic! I feel so lucky for this generous amount of delightfully bubbling synthesizer music from C.D. Noé. A 90 minute exploration of melodic geometry—intricate yet efforless, synthetic yet alive. Melodies ripple, chords shimmer, patterns unfold like a living system in balance. The artist never falls into the sharp-edged maximalism that, at least to my ears, often weighs down …

‘Get Ready’ by the Richard Last Group is one of the rarest LPs from the golden age of Italian progressive rock, originally released in a genre-changing 1972, both in Italy and internationally. Born in Milan in 1969 as Duu Duu, they became Richard Last Group two years later, when singer Maurizio Calò joined the line-up, later calling himself Richard Coley. ‘Get Ready’ is the only album released by the group, which, due to numerous line-up changes that also occurred during the recording of the alb…

Following three full-length collections and a transcendent series of individual long form works, Iceland’s Hyldýpi makes his Past Inside The Present debut with Heilun (tr: “Healing”), a set of seven pieces that flow across 90 blissful minutes. Formed only with guitar and a modest selection of hardware, each movement is an improvisation born from a state of meditation. According to the artist, these sonic sculptures are “inspired by the raw nature [of Iceland], both within and without… I feel as …

Volume 2 Since their debut album release in 1975, Azymuth have risen to rank alongside the world’s greatest jazz, funk and fusion artists. As young men in Rio de Janeiro, they stood out for both their exceptional talent as musicians, and their wild rock‘n’roll antics in the predominantly middle-class worlds of bossa nova and jazz. Their signature “Samba Doido” (crazy samba) sound ruptured the tried and tested musical structures of the day, resulting in what can only be described as an electric, …

*200 copies limited edition* Santa Cecilia & Semionauta are back on Strange Therapy with their follow-up record after last year’s arresting debut on the label, “Trascendenze Artificiali: Act I” is an ambitious and monumental transmedial art piece. Composed during an intensive two weeks of work, “Trascendenze Artificiali: Act I” is the result of the homonym site-specific durational performance, first presented by the duo at Manifattura Tabacchi, Florence for Fabbrica Europa Festival 2023 and furt…

*2025 stock* With an impressive discography tucked beneath his arms, JT Whitfield debuts on Strange Therapy. Confronting the relentless grip of human obsession and the struggle against its uncontrollable nature with his EP 'Birth of Compulsion'. Taking over with a chaotic medley of sonic debris and unstoppable violence, like in guise thoughts and behavior that hide somewhere while feeding on you and your neurons. At times, it maintains a steady pace, but mostly it kicks, claps and shoots in a di…

Pigeons fight the elements to reunite. Often dismissed, they carry with them stories of resilience, intelligence, and a longstanding companionship with humanity that dates back thousands of years. Jonathan Baker and Benedikta Ársælsdóttir explore as a solemn promise an emotional state of feeling isolated and seeking comfort in each other, like pigeons gathering at your local square, with their EP ´feathers´. The duo creates a sound that’s vulnerable yet abrasive, combining sonic elements of indu…

*2025 stock* Picturing a portrait of a woman’s independence through noxious electronics.“The Merge” is balancing brutal beauty and confronting auras with fractured emotions while each track gives another perspective on eternal dilemmas. Who do you turn to and are you satisfied with your life?

Dolphy’s complete April 4, 1964 Town Hall concert, a wonderful set in splendid Stereo sound quality. This concert was the last they played before traveling to Europe, where Dolphy would die shortly after. This is the first time the whole performance appears on a single set. Two extended songs from the group’s concert in Amsterdam six days later have been added as a bonus.

"We’re listening to Blue Train, which to me is one of the most beautiful pieces on one of the most beautiful records that Coltrane recorded in the fifties. It’s his first real mature statement and he wrote all but one of the tunes on this album which was very rare in the fifties and each one is a gem, particularly the title tune Blue Train. And while it’s kind of easy to play the blues, this has a suspended and haunting kind of quality to it." - Michael Cuscuna

Pianist and arranger João Donato was a major figure in the bossa nova movement. During his long career he recorded with many of the great names from both Brazilian and American Latin-jazz scene (Tom Jobim, Ron Carter, Airto Moreira, E. Deodato, Randy Brecker, Mongo Santamaria, Tito Puente, Cal Tjader, and several others). First released in 1963, this is a marvelous example of bossa jazz album featuring the highly syncopated drums grooves of Milton Banana and Amaury Rodriguez's Afro-Cuban flavore…

Shadow garden, a moonlit anthology of contemporary DIY guitar music.

Captured in the immersive cocoon of the Hypnose Room during the 2023 edition of La Nature, this debut release on Fleur Sauvage is a raw transmission of Katatonic Silentio’s improvisational live ritual. Split into four parts across two 12” records, this work moves between experimental abstraction, textured noise, and cinematic ambient. Tension runs like a thread through each piece—sometimes humming beneath the surface, sometimes rupturing into visceral sonic peaks that leave you breathless. Deep …
