A Juxtaposition Of Distant Realities
*300 copies limited edition* Paw Grabowski, known artistically as øjeRum, is a Danish visionary whose work exists in the evocative realms between memory, dreams, and the passage of time. Renowned for his intricate and meditative collages and musical output, øjeRum transforms fragments of vintage materials into timeless compositions that resonate with haunting beauty. His art invites viewers to engage with a dialogue of silence—one that whispers of loss, transformation, and the fragility of exist…
Primeval
*300 copies limited edition* Sutekh Hexen at the core has conducted experimental black metal deconstructionism from the blight of the Bay Area, and depending on conceptual framework, with a global cast of high-calibre talented collaborators for over 14 years. Initially (and anonymously) Sutekh Hexen took the underground by storm with a trio of very limited demo tapes utilizing their distinctive unification of raw atmospheric black metal with scathing noise electronics, heavy textural anti-rhythm…
Pinturas Y Expresiones
*150 copies limited edition* Agnus formed in 1973 in Santa Fe, Argentina, but it wasn’t until 1980 that they managed to release their sole magnus opus Pinturas Y Expresiones, the most expensive (3k) prog album that was ever released in Argentina. This is a unique blend of symphonic prog with 2 faces, equally split between the 2 sides, one with a folky edge, punctuated by aethereal pastoral vocals in an intimate dialogue with flute and violin, and another packed with wandering psychedelic guitar…
Easter Island
*150 copies limited edition* Easter Island's self-titled 1979 masterpiece rightfully stands in the midst of the top 10 US Prog Classics. It offers an emotionally captivating experience, marked by the melodic ebb and flow that is definitive of dexterously multilayered symphonic prog, interwoven with outbursts of heavy riffs. From the lush Mellotron textures and melodic bass lines of Genius of the Dance to the heavy progression of Face-to-Face, this is an album that grows within its listeners like…
Night
Tip! "I first played with Magda in 2012 in Zürich. Since then, we've had further concerts together in Germany, Australia and Switzerland. It would be fitting that this, our first release, would be recorded at the Werkstatt für Improvisierte Musik Zürich, the same room where we originally first played together thirteen years ago." - Jason Kahn

Cosmic Light Clusters
This fifth EMBand release from the studio of bassist / composer Guy Segers continues his concept of working with a huge pool of creative progressive musicians, with each track featuring a different combination. Somewhat more introspective and textural than its predecessor, Cosmic Light Clusters builds steadily from an opening trio of mood pieces through increasing activity and complexity as the album moves forward. Particularly engaging is the use of voices and poetry on this recording. A substa…

Effroyables Jardins
A Colourful Storm presents Effroyables Jardins, a soundtrack composed by Zbigniew Preisner for Jean Becker’s eponymous film in December 2002. Given limited distribution at the time, the soundtrack’s lustre has only strengthened over the past two decades, and it can now be considered a forgotten gem of contemporary chamber composition. For us, it’s simply another understated triumph in Preisner's impeccable oeuvre.
Born in post-war Poland in the southern city of Bielsko-Biała, Zbigniew Preisner’s…
Palaces Of Pity
Malibu is the ambient alias of French experimental artist Barbara Braccini. Working with regular collaborators celebrated cellist Oliver Coates and gifted guitarist Florian Le Prisé, she released the 5 song set Palaces Of Pity back in 2020. Expanded to 6 pieces, this recently received a sellout vinyl pressing. Opening number, The Things That Fade, will tell you all that you need to know about Malibu’s modus operandi. This is a siren’s song woven from seductive, spectral sighs, drones, which come…
Danny Ward And Reality
First released in 1980 via the little-known Pick Up Records, Danish jazz-rockers Ariel's self-titled debut record sees an unlikely reissue via Jazz Room here. A worthy reintroduction of the quintet to the world at large - where before it wasn't well-known at all - it comes after the album was recently helped to by none other than Brownswood aficionado Gilles Peterson, whose encyclopaedic internal memory bank and capacity to chin-wag served the cascading recollection of the album by Jazz Room lab…
Time – Space – Sound – Light
Time of year and day, light; warmth, coolness; wind, rain; breath of air, babbling of the stream; People and other beings going about their lives: a strangely unpredictable mix of expected and unexpected events that contribute to the precise conditions of the moment in which we find ourselves. The here and now conveys a special feeling and a unique sound identity. Mason enables us to connect with times, places, people and situations that go far beyond the here and now. Mason is one of the most i…

From the Diary of a Fly
For almost his entire life, Béla Bartók's music fell on deaf ears. Unnoticed by the general public, this extraordinary composer created a unique cosmos of Hungarian/South-Eastern European folk and art music. Like Schönberg and Stravinsky, he is one of the protagonists of 20th century musical art. A few years after his death, his music became a bestseller and this success has reached unimagined heights again in our time. Accordionist Teodoro Anzellotti presents an individual selection of Bartók's…
Ekecheiria (for voices and bass clarinet)
*2025 stock* Olympia 1972 and the musical avant-garde. A look back at the music program created for and around the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich causes astonishment. The people in charge give space to contemporary music. It is quite natural and apparently normal to rely on the avant-garde. This extraordinary musical framework program for the 1972 Olympics has almost been forgotten. The architecture with its transparent, glass tent roof is remembered as a sign of a new, cosmopolitan, modern and de…
Left, Alone

Here today gone tomorrow
"In the quartet on this album, Paul Dunmall has returned to his first love: totally free improvisation based on interaction between the four players. Many aspects of Paul Dunmall’s playing are apparent on this album. His approach is to listen very carefully to what is happening around him and to react to it. If you see him play live, you will see how he concentrates on the flow of the music, often stepping back and allowing the music to develop before choosing the right moment to enter or re-ent…
Color Systems
Rob Mazurek’s creations, dedicated to these six artists offered to Tomeka Reid, Angelica Sanchez, and Chad Taylor, to interpret freely. A foundation laid for these improvisations in the foursome’s forays into Mazurek’s music with the larger ensemble. Here something becomes distilled. Interaction is direct. The unit is unitary, the dynamics are gently modulated, the sounds are tendered with deliberation love and inter-ensemble generosity.
Bird Heart Amplifier
*30 copies limited edition* Second transmission from the heart of the wood - Rural Noise aka Janza Slope aka Mark Lyken returns with a follow up to his first Cloudchamber tape "There Is No Talk In My Mouth". Where the first tape was focusing on the wavelength, the second one comes as a study in kinetic form, with 9 pieces presented in a set duration. Surrounded by nature and its pulse, the artist attunes his pedal feedback chain in parallel.
We Saw Your Figure Cast Aside From Heaven, Falling Toward Us
*40 copies limited edition*
A wistful eye in blank space,Floated through a preposterous mess,The pupil succumbs to the darkened mirror,Asking for the angel's plea,Staring fixedly at dead screens inside an empty hall
Biscotti
*60 copies limited edition* "After our first concert together in Savignone in Feb 2020 just before the pandemic stopped everything , we had a second chance to play again thanks to Matteo Casari and Disorderdrama in Genova as the opening act for “75 Dollar Bill. The venue was packed full, the air was full of energy and anticipation and everyone listened with open ears and hearts. I tried a new tuning on my double bass to match the Bb tuning of Andy’s guitar, and I think things worked out well. I …
