An afternoon of Poetry & Music
** Limited edition of 60 ** Tape recording of a London gig from last summer featuring US poet and lyricist Larry Beckett and his British singer-guitarist collaborator Stuart Anthony. Beckett, today an Oregon-based wordsmith who initially made his name when he worked with late LA legend Tim Buckley, has focused in more recent decades on his poetry, a project that reached an apogee with his extraordinary epic American Cycle, published in 2021 and the subject of ringing acclaim within the wider ve…
All That Would Ever After Not Be Said (Tape)
** Limited edition of 60 ** Cut-up poems from NY collaborator of Carl Weissner and Jurgen Ploog. These collected poems of Jan Herman, which he refers to as "deformed sonnets", are creations whose genesis and influence lie in the created forms of others; texts which Herman knowingly and skilfully divines and mines for unexpected alliances and echoes, and the harmonious confluences of thought and subject matter. A kind of midwifery performed through the gifts of his own original poetic sensibilit…
Ephemeralds
Ephemeralds is the first recording by Finn Loxbo’s new ensemble Kommun and marks a distinct development in the guitarist’s compositional practice. Performing together with pianist Lisa Ullén, kontrabassist Vilhelm Bromander and percussionist Ryan Packard, Loxbo has set up a situation of intense focus, dissolving individual identities into a collective sound world of resolute clarity. Each musician manipulates a collection of tightly stipulated pitch material whilst bringing the shared timbral qu…
Aeonium
Tarotplane's new tape on Constellation Tatsu comes after many years of research and correspondence. They find him seeking to recreate the unique sound of the late great legend that is Manuel Gottsching. As such, his Aeonium album is a truly psychedelic treasure that fuses some magical moments from Krautrock as well as plenty of new and innovative sounds in between. It has twinkling cosmic melodies and sleek synth lines that are in constant flux. This one comes with great cover art in the form of…

Devised and produced by Jan Jelinek for German public broadcaster SWR2, Zwischen brings together twelve sound poetry collages using interview answers by public figures.

These voice collages also co…

Music From The Temple Of Light
Peter Culshaw was described by Malcolm Mclaren as “the Indiana Jones of World Music” and has tracked down music from the Amazon to Siberia and lived with Pygmies in Central Africa and dervishes in Istanbul. Culshaw interviewed many of the greats including Fela Kuti, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Caetano Veloso and Ibrahim Ferrer. His book Clandestino, now published in ten languages, was a biography/ travelogue on the road with Manu Chao. The result of decades of research is this, his first solo album. …
...E Poi, Non Ne Rimase Nessuno (Original Soundtrack)
*300 copies limited edition* This LP would not have been possible if Edipan hadn’t conserved two mono masters in good conditions in its archives (stereo mixes have gone lost). Unfortunately it was not possible to cancel some magnetic flaws. We brought to life an OST that contains all the popular and well respected music elements of Maestro Nicolai: dissonant strings segments, experimental effects of an evocative classical main theme, ambiguous and mysterious, accompanied by pop rhythms.
Camorra
*300 copies limited edition* Manuel De Sica wrote an orchestral comment based on a recurring symphonic tarantella, which is the main theme retaken in symphonic version or with a solo guitar, alternated with lounge tracks like “Rough”, sung by M° De Sica himself, who was 23 years old back then, with the fabulous “Bossa Nova Boss”, with the extravagant “Casa da gioco” and with the “Anna e Tonino” love theme. RCA printed a promo LP (SP 8046), put together by M° De Sica, 30:30 minutes long. In 1994 …
Il Casanova Di Federico Fellini
*In process of stocking* The original soundtrack for "Il Casanova di Federico Fellini” (1976) sees Nino Rota putting into music Federico Fellini"s opus on the legendary Venetian icon and “tombeur des femmes” Giacomo Casanova. Winner of an Oscar for Best Costumes in 1977, the film is one of Fellini's finest, a grotesque and hyperbolic take on the life of Casanova that is matched by Rota's compositions. "Il Casanova di Federico Fellini” possibly is one of Rota's most eerie and enigmatic scores, as…
Squadra Antigangsters

Mannawyddan
*B-stock* This record was brought to us at Dizonord by Julien, part of the shop Music Records in Saint Brieuc (Brittany, France), who is specialized in Brittany music. In the band are fantastic people. The group leader came back from an initiatory trip in India to Brittany with the belief that there was a mystic link between Indian music and Celtic music. Who could say the contrary?

Black And White
Tip! Existing somewhere between the post-psychedelic period of Soft Machine and the electric funk of Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters, Black And White, the 1976 album from Norway’s Vanessa is without question a formidable beast of a jazz-rock record. A potent brew of sonic experimentation and pulsating off-kilter groove. Taking their name from the genus of Nymphalidae butterfly, Vanessa was founded in 1971 by saxophonist Svend Undseth and pianist Frode Holm, the founder of the Oslo record store turn…
air near silence
Tip! Truly intrigued as a kid by the weird sounds his DIY electronica building kit could make, Mich L. (aka Mich Leemans of Paper Hats and curator of AB Salon) never stopped his quest for more beauty in hidden frequencies and harmonics of modular synths and old tape recorders. His search into the deep mysterious sound spectrum unexpectedly made a surprising u-turn after a seizure of increasing tinnitus and enduring nausea. The concept of listening, as stated by Pauline Oliveiros as 'the involunt…
Sept Jeunes Et Fiers Maris
*Rare original* "ARFI is an improvised music group from the south of France that continues to evolve, involving not only musicians but also cooks and street performers in its search for more freedom of expression. One of the core bands of the ARFI, with all the main improvising musicians, was the Marvelous Band, released on their own label in 1985. Carnivals on street corners, street performers, the hints of foreign lands wafting from the back alleys - the original landscape that lies at the hea…
Accordéon De Concert
A rare original issue of Accordéon De Concert by Jean Luc Manca.
Azur Et Tenebres
*Rare original* "As you can tell from the additional description to the album title, this album and the compositions on it are a collection of sound illustrations for performances, performances, dances, films and plays (mostly in the spirit of early cinematography and early century theatre, one would think). Illustrations, stylistically very different. From rather sad interludes, which for some reason remind me personally of films like Silence, Sadness, Silence with to 'saspienza' moments, with…
Aïré
*Rare original* French project combining flamenco and jazz. The music is reminiscent of recent bands around Ultra High Flamenco, recorded in 1985 at the Centre Autonome D'experimentation Sociale in Ris-Oragis, a suburb south of Paris on the Seine River. It sounds like an extension of sextet, innovatively brought bass, cajón and saxophone to flamenco. It's strange that neither the other works nor this project have attracted much attention, but they are unusually accomplished: the level of perform…
