The result is a blend of industrial and dark ambient, with a cinematic quality. Noise Entropy describes his music as "cosmic, hypnago…

*50 copies limited edition* After reading On the Road and meeting Ken Kesey, Mark Terrill set out as a merchant seaman and afterwards spent time in various locations in Asia, North Africa (studying with Paul Bowles in Tangier), and Europe, where he eventually settled down near Hamburg in the mid-eighties.

'Each Day, as if It Were Your Last' marks a striking new chapter for Pallette and a complete departure from his Past Inside the Present debut, 'Pathways'. Released in November 2020, Pathways emerged from an introspective period in Alexander Carlo Buckley’s life, presenting four lovely loop-based compositions shaped by hypnotic, consonant arrangements, fleeting melodies, and a patient sense of ebb and flow. Each Day, as if It Were Your Last moves beyond those meditative foundations, expanding Pal…

Rooted in long-form improvisation and environmental textures, the duo created 2 immersive sonic landscapes from dense organic drones, metal scraping and manipulated concrete sounds for their first album.

*10 copies limited edition* Latest tape release on Fr33zehead by Zheng Hao and James Shearman.

Sachiko primarly performs live in Tokyo with drone music centered around her voice. Here, in this new studio album, her voice seems concealed within the silence of the outer space or among a forest settling into stillness. The soundscapes are carefully crafted for a slow reveal, wavering and drifting, with the electronics and viola at times taking the lead, gradually unveiling an abyss of emotion. While playing the bass in the Japanese bands Kousokuya and Overhang Party, Sachiko began her solo p…

Eat The Rich is an eclectic intersection of two serial collaborators: Giffoni (No Fun Fest / No Fun Productions) continues to explore new dimensions in sound, primarily using modular / synths (with recent full lengths on Ideologic Organ and Room40), paired here with the instinctually abstract percussion of Corsano (known from working with everyone from Bill Orcutt to Richard Bishop to Bjork but with literally 100's of appearances under his belt since the turn of the century). Produced by David S…

Andreas Tilliander released »Ljud« in 2001 as the first full-length album under his real name. The year before, the Swedish producer’s »Cliphop« album under his Mokira moniker had established him in the world of adventurous electronic music and the clicks’n’cuts scene. »Ljud« was just as minimalistic, warm, and playful as its predecessor while also notably inspired by house music. It is a timeless record based on happy accidents, playful loops, and lively spontaneity. For its 25th anniversary, K…

Hamburg, 1969. A drummer recently arrived from Westphalia, known around the Jazzhouse on Brandstwiete as a capable timekeeper who could swing in 4/4 and play rock beats, which is why Klaus Doldinger had hired him for Passport. His name was Udo Lindenberg. Free Jazz Goes Underground, released by MPS in 1970 under the name Free Orbit, is the first studio album of the band he led, and he sings on it, in English, alongside a second vocalist. MPS's own note on the reissue admits you need careful list…

Jef Gilson (born Jean-François Quiévreux, 1926) had played clarinet with Claude Luter in Boris Vian's band, switched to piano in 1947, and in 1963 formed the big band through which half of French modern jazz would pass. In 1965 he was musical director of Les Double Six. That year Woody Shaw and Nathan Davis played in his orchestra.

Released in 1983 after a lengthy court battle with IRS Records, Smell of Female originally contained just the first six songs. These, plus out-of-control ad-lib freakouts “Beautiful Gardens” and “She Said” (previously omitted due to legal restrictions) were recorded live at New Yorkʼs famous Peppermint Lounge. There is nothing like the sound of The Cramps, and this set distills that cross of swamp water, moonshine and nitro down to a dangerous and unstable musical substance, captured live like a…

Featuring an over-the-top live set from Down Under, RockNReelinInAucklandNewZealandXXX was recorded at the 100th show of The Cramps’ 1986 Date With Elvis Tour. The album was originally released incognito in cahoots with Ace Records in 1987 as a fake “limited-edition import” bootleg LP, and was intended to compete with the glut of unofficial Cramps recordings. The woman you hear screaming throughout the first half actually fainted when she stopped screaming!  Included alongside other classic tune…

Its title suggests a simple but powerful gesture: trusting what moves freely, following a direction that cannot always be explaine…

*200 copies limited edition* After a string of acclaimed albums, Maxine Funke should need little introduction. With Leitmotiv, she surprises us once again, this time with five quiet, soft yet haunting pieces that slowly reveal themselves. Her distinctive voice almost whispers its way through keyboard tones and field recordings, moving somewhere between silence and melody, intimacy and unease. While having a dip into a more experimental bath, Funke remains deeply connected to her folk tradition. …

In 2022 drummer Tollef Østvang enlisted veteran English improvisers Trevor Watts and John Edwards, to form a new trio, as a commission from the Motvind festival. From the get-go, the three unleashed a remarkably unified onslaught of blissful intensity. Luckily the band felt just as excited as the audience, and since their initial offering in the middle of the Norwegian woods, the group has since embarked on several European tours; further sharpening their razor-sharp interplay. Their debut relea…

On March 19th, 1999, legendary soprano saxophonist Steve Lacy played with his working trio at The Velvet Lounge at 2128 ½ S. Indiana Avenue in Chicago.

Llopis and Vicent Alonso, a fellow Spanish composer, instrumentalist, and longtime collaborator, were inspired…

Popol Vuh's ethereal score eleva…

LP version. This album is a tribute to the person and spirit of John Coltrane. It was produced by musicians who not only admire Coltrane but embody similar values.While it’s always a good time to honor Coltrane’s memory, this particular moment seems to carry an increased urgency of remembering his message and mission.Since some owners of this amazing record may be unfamiliar with Coltrane’s character, it’s worthwhile to briefly state a few biographical details.First, Coltrane was a compassionate…
