Akio Niitsu's first album, "I/O(i･o)" released in 1978, was produced in a homemade studio that had been converted from a storeroom in his home, and he spent three years doing everything from composition to engineering by himself, using overdubbed guitar recordings. Akio Niitsu's first analog re-release has been decided. As a guitar multi-recording album, the idea was realized six years earlier than the album "E2-E4" released in 1984 by Manuel Göttsching, the central figure of "Ash La Tempel", bu…

2025 stock Anoyo (“the world over there”) draws from the same sessions with members of Tokyo Gakuso which led to the 2018 work Konoyo, but rendered starker, solemn, and stripped back, with more of a naturalist tint. Tim Hecker’s processing here moves in veiled ways, soft refractions and whispered shrouds woven within improvisational sessions of traditional gagaku interplay, evoking a sense of vaulted space, temples at dawn, shredded silk fluttering in the rafters.

Centripetal Force (North America), Cardinal Fuzz (UK), and Radio Khiyaban (Europe) are excited to announce Mohammad Mostafa Heydarian's second album Noor-e Vojood. The album is being presented digtial;y, as well as a 500 copy vinyl pressing. The album will be made available for preorder on January 24. Its release date is March 7. Mohammad Mostafa Heydarian was born on the first of January, 2002 in Kermanshah, a city in western Iran. Kermanshah is the home of the tanbur, a pear shaped lute whose …

2025 stock There are experimental musicians that know how to well craft the best of pop music, and there are pop musicians that know how to experiment at upper echelons of instinct. Samara Lubelski is both of these musicians in one. It may be a bold statement, but yes, it is true, every word. Her breadth of experience in both of the otherworldly sides of these spheres grants her an enlightened gift in song writing. It is elegant and transporting, and it coalesces in that golden new age of purple…

Great Doubts Edits by Astrid Sonne is a dynamic rework of her original album Great Doubts, transforming introspective electronic compositions into vibrant, club-ready versions. Sonne blends glitchy beats, pulsing synths, and ethereal vocals, maintaining her signature melancholic yet playful tone. These edits reimagine the tracks with sharper rhythms and immersive textures, offering a fresh, dancefloor-oriented perspective while preserving the emotional depth of the original. A must-listen for fa…

When eminent jazz practitioners with shared histories convene in the studio without rehearsal or preparatory gigs, a perfunctory, by-the-numbers session is often the outcome. That is decidedly not the case on Solid Jackson, whose personnel, four of whom participated on the well-wrought day-after-Christmas of 1994 Criss Cross album titled Consenting Adults, reside in any hardcore jazz connoisseur’s “top-five”. This second gathering of M.T.B. (titled for the surnames of Brad Mehldau, Mark Turner a…

In his last release for the Impulse label, Hubbard’s ambitious 1963 recording The Body & The Soul includes both an all-star septet and an orchestra with strings. Including a number of Hubbard originals and such notables as Curtis Fuller (trombone), Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone), Eric Dolphy (alto saxophone), Cedar Walton (piano), Reggie Workman (bass), and Louis Hayes (drums), the album stands alone as one of the most unique productions in Freddie’s substantive discography and as a showcase fo…

2025 stock Probably due to the fact that Eric Dolphy died untimely in 1964, making every one of his recorded contributions more widely sought after, pianist Mal Waldron’s album, The Quest, was reissued soon after its release under the reedman’s name. Tenor saxophonist Booker Ervin is also featured on The Quest. Ervin and Dolphy had both been members of the Charles Mingus group and the two reedmen recorded various LPs together with Mingus between 1960 and 1963.

Returning with its ninth and tenth instalments, Die Schachtel's Decay Music series extends its explorations of inspired contemporary experimental efforts of the ambient, ethereal, and emotively abstract with Luigi Turra and Elio Martusciello’s “Liminale” and Sergio Armaroli and D…

A raw sonic document of exile, trauma, and transformation, this CD collects early works by Hungarian artist Sándor Vály, recorded between 1988 and 1992. Created using homemade instruments, rudimentary electronics, and cassette gear, these tracks trace a turbulent path through desertion, psychiatric confinement, political escape, and cultural rebirth. Inspired by the Tibetan Book of the Dead and personal upheaval, Bardo Tödol I–II, SoulDrum, and other recordings evoke a haunting inner journey bet…

Super Tip!  Following Brannten Schnüre's definitive trilogy conclusion, Quirlschlängle continues its exploration of Central European cultural archaeology with Lebensglut (Life's Glow), a split album that examines four poets through remarkably different methodologies: Karl Wolfskehl, Stefan George, and Georg Trakl, all active in the early 20th century, alongside Julius Sturm, who had been active a century earlier and can be regarded as an early pioneer of Symbolist expression. Like Brannten Schnü…

The conclusion of a trilogy often reveals as much about artistic evolution as it does about thematic resolution. With “Landschaft aus Tränen”, Brannten Schnüre complete their three-album psychological cycle that began with 2019's “Erinnerungen an Gesichter”, marking both a compositional apex and a deliberate terminus for the project itself. Moving away from their signature “surreal folkcollage” approach, this represents Brannten Schnüre's most structured and emotionally resolved statement to dat…

Three pioneers of contemporary minimal electronic music converge on this remarkable collaborative EP, bridging the austere aesthetics of Finnish electronic minimalism with the ambient experimentalism of a new generation. Released via the legendary Sähkö Recordings' Puu sublabel, this tripartite exploration represents a masterful synthesis of post-minimalist sensibilities and environmental sound design.

Compuma has established himself as one of Japan's most respected record buyers and DJs, with an encyclopedic knowledge of obscure and left-field…

The debut release from emerging artist Polygonia arrives as a stunning statement of organic minimalism, channeling the ethereal spirit of Japanese 80's kankyo ongaku through contemporary electronic exploration. Introduced through label artist Simone de Kunovich, this remarkable multi-instrumentalist presents four compositions that blur the boundaries between ancient traditions and futuristic sound design. Polygonia operates as a complete artistic vision - singing, writing lyrics, and performing …

Japanese bamboo flute maestro and goat (JP) cohort Rai Tateishi makes an impressive debut statement with his holistic attempts to transcend the limits of ancient instruments to reveal gently delirious insights comparable with Jon Hassell, Phew, Bendik Giske, FUJI|||||||||||TA.

New Vienna is the fourth concert recording to be released from Keith Jarrett’s final European solo tour. It follows Munich 2016, Budapest Concert and Bordeaux Concert. Why New Vienna? As Jarrett aficionados will know, his discography already includes a legendary Vienna Concert (recorded at the Vienna State Opera) whose music, he once claimed, spoke “the language of the flame itself”, after long years of “courting the fire”.  Keith Jarrett’s 2016 return to the Austrian capital brought the flames …

Masterful trio interplay reliant on deeply honed three-way communication and a refined sense of understatement make Fred Hersch’s third recording for ECM an essential entry into the piano trio canon. Hersch tackles a handful of 20th century compositions – spanning from standards to less frequented jazz tunes – as well as three originals, with Drew Gress on bass and Joey Baron on drums – two longstanding companions of Fred’s who have played with him on and off since the late 80s and early 90s res…

After Mette Henriette’s critically acclaimed, self-titled first recording comes Drifting – and album pervaded by trio conversations of idiosyncratic and original expression. With Johan Lindvall returning on piano, new addition Judith Hamann on cello and herself on saxophone, Mette’s chamber musical elaborations prove of a concentrated and exploratory quality, marked by subtle yet intense interaction. Motifs and recurring patterns crystallize and reveal a concise, intricate narrative. The saxopho…

*100 copies ultra limited edition! 2025 repress* Junipher Greene  was a Norwegian progressive rock band, who were formed in Oslo in 1967.  When they released their historic debut album Friendship (called a "milestone" in European progressive rock") in 1971 they became the first Norwegian band ever to release a double LP.

Ornette Coleman’s "Ornette On Tenor" marks a pivotal moment in jazz, featuring his switch to tenor sax and the addition of Jimmy Garrison on bass. The album’s earthy, darker soundscape, collective improvisation, and absence of fixed themes highlight Coleman’s ongoing musical revolution.

When this album landed on the turntables in 1977, João Gilberto, the Nestor and father of bossa nova, had long enjoyed praise for his life’s work which was still far from complete. His straightforward, sometimes dry and rasping voice sounds out distinctively in the mezzo piano and forges his totally unique and personal style of playing Latin jazz with international appeal. With "Wave", "Triste", "Caminhos Cruzados" and "Zingaro" he brings together on this LP four splendid numbers by his congenia…

“Creative collaboration could lead to tension or disagreements, but here it’s all about freedom, joy, and acceptance. Deeply rooted in respect and love. And that radiates through the music. I lived the process, but I hope people will feel that vibe.”
— Robbie Kuster

*100 copies limited edition* For over a decade, the Sound Mapping series has traced the evolving landscapes of experimental music across the globe. This chapter turns its ear to Australia, a continent whose sonic expressions are as vast, isolated, and idiosyncratic as its geography. The artists featured in this compilation explore a wide terrain of auditory possibilities, from shimmering drones and granular textures to fractured electronics and abstract field manipulations. There’s a rawness her…

In 1969, The Lemon Drops sought success in San Francisco but disbanded after setbacks, leading to the formation of Watermelon with ambient composer Raphael. Their sound blends fiery psychedelic rock and haunting grooves, captured on rediscovered tapes recorded with just two microphones.

The spacey psychedelic sound of The Lemon Fog never sounded better than with this release, which gathers all of their singles, unreleased outtakes, and complete versions of ‘Summer’, ‘Lemon Fog’, and ‘Day By Day,’ — everything from the original master tapes.

Sunset Love was a quasi-mystical flower-power band from New Mexico who blended influences of The Mamas and Papas, Spanky And Our Gang and The Beatles to create a unique pop-psych sound.

A masterclass of intimate electric blues — every bit as immediate and gripping as the much-revered Muddy Waters “Real Folk Blues” LP.

Since 1991, Charalambides has released many recordings on labels like Siltbreeze, Kranky & Wholly Other. Despite Tom and Christina Carter’s prolific solo careers and numerous other projects, Charalambides has existed in an unbroken trajectory for over tw…

2025 Vinyl Repress. ONE DAY ALL WILL BLACKEN AND BURN. Just as the two-headed basilisks predicted. Lies, Truth, Denial and Envy embodied. Their riddling yet oddly accurate prophecies were put in ink by Anuk Schleger the monk, in the scrolls that now hold many names - The Nameless Scriptures, The Unwritten, The Dirt Pages. And so far, every promise therein has been realized, hence why both kings and beggars now cry and wail. Everything will blacken and burn. The stormy, Endless Sea will boil and …

‘redrum’ (with a lowercase r) is the original music for the dance performance of the same name by the group nanou (with lowercase g and n). Composed in 2023 and staged in 2024, it won the Ubu Prize for best dance show of the year.

Bruno Dorella plays, produces and mixes the entire work, in a process…

"For his first Mondoj release, Finnish musician Olli Aarni journeys to the wide oblique, where shapes are implied by slants of light previously thought impossible, coming from sources dispersed and hidden. The paranoid eye turns them into phantasms: distant pop songs, fields of fair folk spinning vocoded fudge, an exquisite tasting menu, the shiny towers of an inflatable castle protruding from underground. Scientific inquiry reveals spoken word, diatonic harmony, wide stereo fields, spectral she…
