New Africa
** Deluxe matte laminate gatefold sleeve and polylined paper inner sleeve ** A vital document of artistic resistance and spiritual searching, New Africa captures a transformative moment in jazz and global Black consciousness. Recorded in Paris in 1969, the album stands as a deeply personal and boldly experimental statement from American trombonist and composer Grachan Moncur III — one of the most compelling figures of the avant-garde movement and a master of what would become known as spiritual …
Copkiller (Original Soundtrack)
Morricone's elusive 1983 score emerges remastered from original tapes. Featuring Johnny Rotten and Harvey Keitel, this psychedelic, percussion-heavy crime thriller soundtrack anticipates industrial music aesthetics while showcasing the composer's urban paranoia mastery. A crucial missing link in his evolution.

WVLT
WVLT is the newest sonic addition from WNDFRM (Portland-based, Tim Westcott), an album of eight distinct explorations exploring the many facets of experimental IDM. Tim Westcott’s practice is rooted in an acute, nearly forensic attention to sound. Subtle tones, sculpted drones, and lean percussive gestures, always pursued with a patient ear and obsession with sound design. With previous releases on Prologue, Home Normal, and Dragon’s Eye Recordings, and several live performances at Mutek, a new …
And I Heard a Voice
Estonian vocal ensemble Vox Clamantis and their leader Jaan-Eik Tulve have established themselves among the leading interpreters of Arvo Pärt’s music over a quarter-century of close collaboration with the composer – a relationship that builds on the almost half a century long artistic partnership between Pärt and producer Manfred Eicher. Of the ensemble’s ECM New Series recording The Deer’s Cry, the BBC Music Magazine wrote that “the level of artistry necessary to achieve the kind of living, bre…
Tokyo
Wolfgang Muthspiel and his trio with Scott Colley on bass and Brian Blade on drums (“Together they have something of the empathy of the Bill Evans trio” – Downbeat) goes into its third recording-venture swinging, setting the stage for what may be the group’s most adventurous trio recording with a delicate reading of Keith Jarrett’s “Lisbon Stomp”. Throughout the album however, the Austrian guitarist and his American cohorts turn the spotlight towards Wolfgang’s captivating originals, touching on…
Aeris
Aeris is the ninth ECM New Series album to feature the vibrant and highly expressive music of Erkki-Sven Tüür. Olari Elts, a long-time champion of Tüür’s compositions, conducts the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra in compelling, intensely-focused performances of Phantasma, De Profundis and Tüür’s tenth symphony ÆRIS, a vast drama of shifting energies and interactions, which is scored for horn quartet and orchestra. The symphony is in four movements that transition seamlessly. Tüür: “Each mov…
Tramonto
Recorded live in Birmingham during a Contemporary Music Network tour in 2002, Tramonto finds UK pianist John Taylor (1942-2015) in celebratory, outgoing mood, fronting one of his most dynamic and quick-witted groups, with US musicians Marc Johnson and Joey Baron – the energetic team that would later collaborate on the critically-lauded ECM recording Rosslyn. Here the repertoire features the well-known Taylor tunes “Pure and Simple”, “Between Moons” and “Ambleside” (heard in an epic 15 minute…
In Memoriam Alvin Lucier
The influence of Alvin Lucier’s work on acoustic phenomena and the interplay between sound and space is difficult to overstate. His legacy continues to echo through the work of countless composers and sound artists today. Lucier’s music is marked by a sense of childlike wonder and sonic simplicity - shifting our perception from what we hear to how we listen.At the heart of his compositions lies the sine wave: the purest, most elemental form of sound. Clarinetist Dries Tack pays tribute to this …

Two Lonely Space Pilots
There's a moment, early in Two Lonely Space Pilots, when time seems to stop. Not pause - stop. The saxophone sustains a note that hovers somewhere between breath and pure tone, while scattered percussion marks territory in the emptiness like footprints on an unexplored planet. This isn't background music. This is Hekura - a Barcelona-based duo who've spent years learning how to make silence speak and stillness move. Ernest Pipó and Edu Pons met during their jazz studies at Taller de Músics in Ba…

The book unveiled a myriad of beautiful and rare records from a highly prolific, but still then unknown, Japanese groove scene. He has also selected a large part of the music in our highly acclaimed Wa…
El Nirvana
*200 copies limited edition* You are probably familiar with the pop-psych Nirvana from the 70s and almost certainly with the renowned outfit of the same name from the 90s Seattle grunge scene. However, somewhere in between the above emerged in Buenos Aires a combo of classically trained musicians with a passion for leaving their own mark in the then burgeoning prog/psych/folk scene.
Despite their short life span between 1976-1978, El Nirvana quickly rose to an acclaimed band among their more wel…

Frode Gjerstad, Alexander von Schlippenbach, and Dag Magnus Narvesen's first trio recording is powerful convergence of avant-garde improvisation and deep jazz sensibilities. Gjerstad’s fearless saxophone work, Schlippenbach’s adventurous piano explorations and Narvesen’s dynamic drumming create spontaneous compositions that betray a deep mutual respect.
One Another
“The body’s relation to the social is inseparable from, and of the same relation to the world, not a relation of objectification but a carnal intertwining prior to any reflective judgement.” -Rosalyn Diprose
Conversation No. 1 / Collecting Rocks From The Places We've Been
Conversation No. 1/ Collecting Rocks from the Places We’ve Been is a solo for bass clarinet which can be performed as a duo, trio, or maybe someday with many, many bass clarinets, or in collaboration with other artists. Katie Porter is interested in creating systems of music that she can exist in together, for herself and others, music that collapses and expands on itself, where we are free to choose the phrases, iterations, and lean into the occurrences of overlapping tones, vibrations, multi-…
Hyperboreal Trio
Hyperboreal Trio’s debut album unites the distinct voices of Signe Emmeluth, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten, and Axel Filip—three seasoned improvisers bridging the musical extremes of the north and south through raw, yet meticulously crafted pieces.

*22 copies limited edition* To paraphrase Éliane Radigue's famous double 7" record, the two discs you hold in your hands are designed to be listened to either separately or simultaneously, synchronously or asynchronously. Similarly, the sides of these two discs can be played at any speed and in either direction. It is also permissible to scratch the record, block the arm to form a loop, intervene freely... The only limit is that set by your turntable.
For those who enjoy listening to music diff…
Landscape Music 5
*2025 stock. 200 copies limited edition* And the cloud passes overhead. A drone crosses, reminding us of the whole summer outside. You just have to look up. Over the wall, can’t you see the courtyard and the hill covered with pines, at the base of which lie ancient barns that have better withstood the test of time than the castle. The fountain’s jet still makes its noise in the basin, under the gray stone watchtower. From here, the path always leads to Grand’rive under the damp cover of the beec…
