Rare Originals
9 Times Sanity
*Originalo copy from first edition. 1984* 'Problemist are a San Francisco group that quietly makes tapes and communicates with experimental bands around the world. Organized religion is the target here, not only as a big business, but also on its subtle effect on people’s fears and behaviors. But this isn’t a noise band; it’s a mixture of electronic and rock that is aggressive, eerie, and not too arty.' - MRR
Fantasmusics
Electronic musician Dominique Laurent and Pinok Et Matho, who have been researching physical performance, mainly traditional theatre, and have produced some of the most strangest songs of all time. The first album [Les Pays De Tout En Tout] from Unidisc in 1978, the second [Azur Et Tenebres] in 1982 and this [Fantasmusics] from PG in 1983 contain everything, from childish theatre to contemporary music and jazz.
Night Bird
*2023 stock* First recording of Eric Le Lann under his name in 1983. Around him, a group composed of Césarius Alvim on bass, André Ceccarelli on drums and Olivier Hutman on piano and Rhodes which escorts the sublime phrasing of a trumpet entirely placed on the melody. The quartet is of a remarkable flexibility, sonority and unity. A hell of a quartet!

Très Toxique
*Deadstock. Last 85 copies. In process of stocking* Très toxique is the first ever recording of Un Drame Musical Instantané as a trio, three weeks before Trop d’Adrénaline Nuit, but already a year and a half after Défense De by Birgé Gorgé Shiroc (Nurse With Wound List). On December 21, 1976, it was the first time the three musicians met together in the basement of Studio GRRR. They had no idea what they were going to play, but the session was full of energy. Jean-Jacques Birgé plays the ARP 260…
Momenti Felici
*2023 stock* This LP by German synth music pioneer Hans-Joachim Roedelius features almost no synthesizers at all. When they do appear (most prominently on "Über den Wolken"), they're a background instrument, supporting his piano. At other times, Roedelius duets with saxophonist Alexander Czjzek. But the primary instrument is his grand piano, and the pieces aren't the droning marathons of 1970s German "kosmische" music, they're three- and four-minute vignettes (some tracks are in the six-minute r…
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?
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…
Laut - Gesten - Laute
Original late 80s copies from the legendary (and high quality) Edition Michael Frauenlob Bauer LPs, covering some of the Dieter Schnebel best extended voices compositions from 1981-1985. Laut Gesten Laute is a seminal piece of experimental 'theater' that ranks alongside Schnebel's later collection Zeichen-Sprache (recall Poem for One Jumper) as examples of Schnebel's “visible music.” These two works help define Schnebel as a formative voice in this genre for voices and gestures. “Redeübungen für…
Les Bons Contes Font Les Bons Amis
*2023 stock* Un Drame Musical Instantané were founded in 1976, featuring Jean-Jacques Birgé, Bernard Vitet and Francis Gorgé. Their aim was to promote collective musical creation, co-signing their albums, which they consider as artworks in themselves, or their live shows which they tried to renew every time they played. Their sound was created with many influences: They borrowed their sources from rock (synthesizer player Birgé and guitarist Gorgé, both authors of the album, Défense de); jazz (t…
Dimension 5
*2022 stock* "While not the absolutely earliest of this excellent bassist, bandleader, and composer's projects, Dimension 5 still features a photograph on the back cover that has prompted comparisons with nervous high school kids at a dance, all dressed up but afraid to ask anyone to boogie. Except John Lindberg is already holding a bass in the picture, so doesn't need a partner, and in the process of creating this recording was putting his best foot forward not to boogaloo but to establish hims…
Unforeseen Blessings
*2022 stock* "This is a pure gem, a beautiful and much enjoyable album, highlighting the immense talent and musicality of pianist Kirk Lightsey and his accomplices. Listen to the solos of Arthur Blythe and Chico Freeman, the music and humour of Lester Bowie, the pure life and joyful rythm by Cecil Mc Bee and Famoudou Don Moye. Be ready do move and rejoice with Heaven Dance ! " - All Music
Adaptation
**Original 1983 pressing, sealed copies. Few available** In the late 1970s, Steve Piccolo was a founding member of the seminal No Wave jazz band Lounge Lizards along with John Lurie, his brother Evan Lurie and Arto Lindsay. He’d studied music at Bard and NYU and was doing performances, art and sound installations at night while during the day maintaining a job as a Wall Street computer analyst. This is his second solo LP, again a minimalist and radical rethinking of song, mixing a post-punk/DIY…
Music For Everyman 861
**Very rare original 1986 LP masterpiece, few copies available** Named in tribute to Fluxus-founder George Maciunas, this Ensemble (Paul Panhuysen and three others) cross disciplines (art, music and science) with ease. As the title of their record, Music For Everyman suggests, they attempt not just to document their own music but to inspire the D.I.Y. spirit in others. There's a clear debt to minimalist music, with an interest in layered drones and the exploration of harmonics. A Wide, White Wor…
Learning To Be
*In process of stocking. This second-hand record is available through our collaboration with Parisian shop Dizonord, all items are in NM condition.* It was already a reference among the diggers’ community, and one day, our friend from Chouf made us listen to the record before Dizonord. We found Uli, one of the musicians, who still had a fair number of copies of this 1990 LP, a tricky year for vinyl. This record is a mix between jazz, funk and ambient but with a very special pop touch to it.
À Travail Égal Salaire Égal
*In process of stocking. This second-hand record is available through our collaboration with Parisian shop Dizonord, all items are in NM condition.* À Travail Égal Salaire Égal was Un Drame Musical Instantane's third album, originally released in 1982 on the group's own GRRR label. Since its creation in 1976, featuring Jean-Jacques Birgé, Bernard Vitet and Francis Gorgé, the group has decided to promote collective musical creation, co-signing their albums, which they consider as artworks in them…
