Samba '68
180 gram Vinyl Edition. Elemental Music, together with Universal Music Spain presents a new vinyl reissue of “Samba ’68“, the only album released on the Verve label by prolific Brazilian singer Marcos Valle. In 1968, Valle was commissioned by Verve to record his Brazilian hits in English in order to capitalize on the then-huge Getz-Gilberto-Jobim-Mendes-Astrud market. Marcos’ rapid and stunning artistic growth is apparent on this brilliant Bossa Nova album. Fans of Sérgio Mendes and Astrud Gilbe…
Nature Unveiled
Current 93's first and last album, Nature Unveiled dragged together my obsessions, as I had decided to make a pop album that dealt with my primary fascinations: Christian apocalyptic and eschatological Christian texts. In my speed-ridden soul and mind, I thought I was reinventing The Ronettes, and that the two long sides of Nature Unveiled were A- and B-sides of a wall of soundhogs HIT! But the reality is that I was sharing a squat in Vauxhall with little annie anxiety, and hanging out with yout…
Swastikas For Noddy
"Swastikas For Noddy is possibly, probably, maybe, or not, a seminal and sidereal masterpiece, the inspiration for 93,000 Masks On Nothings, none of which were groovy. For me, well, it was my first hallucinatory pick-nick, and the skies turned pixie red for it. I was given the album's title during an acid trip: seeing Noddy crucified in the sky, I asked God what the most inappropriate birthday present for Noddy might be. God answered me from the acid whirlwind: "Swastikas!" I recorded her in a r…
The Light Is Leaving Us All
"The Light Is Leaving Us All is one of the C93 albums that haunts me the most. I was OverMoon and Blessed to work on it with the astonishing aeonic beautiful talents of Reinier Van Houdt, Alasdair Roberts, Ossian Brown, Rita Knuistingh Neven, Andrew Liles, Aloma Ruiz Boada, Michael York, Davide Pepe, Ania Goszczyńska, and Giulio Di Mauro. Once again, the voice in the mask of one of my favorite authors, and longest colleagues, Thomas Ligotti, also joined C93. The album's title was given to me in …
Dungeon Weed
*80 copies limited edition* "Dungeon Weed" is a minimalist fantasy-synth/new age album, but also a 28-pages comic-book which you will find inside the cassette case.

The Story Of Khelise's enchanting music will transport you to a world of soft colors and dazzling lights: free your mind and prepare to travel on the wings of imagination. For lovers of…
Nightmare Realm
In a forgotten age, on a vanished continent, the Nightmare Realm cruelly thrived. Warlords shared power over barren and arid lands, massive armies of heavily armed soldiers guaranteed a fragile peace under the sky. Everything in this unfortunate world had a sinister aura, fear was the dominant feeling in the heart of every creature.
Today (fortunately!) even the memory of this distant and gloomy world has disappeared. In fact, there are few historical testimonies that have come down to us from t…
Le Segrete Del Castello Nero
In the ancient forests of Central Italy, at the time of the late Roman Empire, bloody pagan rites took place, leaving the land imbued with dark omens; in the dark centuries that followed, sorcerers explored that past and built their knowledge on the most sinister legends, entrusting it to forbidden books banned by the Christian Church.
In 15th century Italy, in an era known as the Renaissance, lovers of esoteric knowledge studied those cursed volumes and disseminated their contents among scholar…

To March Is To Love
If cellist/composer Janel Leppin’s wonderful and widely celebrated 2022 solo debut album Ensemble Volcanic Ash was a creative eruption, her follow up To March Is to Love is a glowing magma flow that greatly expands her singular band’s sonic terrain. The project thrums with immediacy as Leppin and her all-star sextet honor their musical ancestors and reflect on disquieting times. Bandcamp Daily declared “There’s no end to the melodic intensity of Ensemble Volcanic Ash. Even at its lushest and mo…

Evening Air
Evening Air is the result of Loren Connors and David Grubbs’s first trip to the recording studio in the two decades since their first duo album, Arborvitae (Häpna). Arborvitae stood out for its spellbinding, utterly unhurried meshing of electric guitar (Connors) and piano (Grubbs). With this long-awaited return, Connors and Grubbs take turns trading off on piano and guitar, with Grubbs at the keyboard for the two gently expansive pieces on the first side and Connors taking over the instrument fo…
Frice
Before Don Cherry appeared in Ornette Coleman's quartet, the band's trumpeter was Bobby Bradford. Responsibility for his family dissuaded him from his career as a nomadic musician. It's a well-known story, but it's hard not to wonder "what would have happened if Bradford had stayed in New York and continued to create with Coleman?" This thought is even more intriguing when we learn that the marriage, which dominated the development of the young musician, broke up in 1970.I like to think that if …
Ephemeral Shapes
We have a special relationship with Ivo Perelman, so when his latest trio with Cuban-born and hugely respected pianist Aruan Ortiz and Spanish-born but French-based friend of our label Ramon Lopez finally came about, we felt that their first studio meeting had to be in our catalog. Their first album, Ephemeral Shapes, was recorded in Catalonia's Rosazul studio under the delectable ear of Ferran Conangla himself. We are all the more pleased that the band has entered the roster of the famous Akamu…
