Three Movements from “Some Kind of Seasoning”
We are proud to release Three Movements from “Some Kind of Seasoning” by the eminent Warren Burt: composer (and performer, writer, instrument builder, educator) of genius. Burt was born in 1949 in the USA, and moved to Australia in 1975. Throughout his long and inspired career, his expansive aesthetic has eagerly embraced microtonality, improvisation and technology, fusing these elements in often humorous and/or irreverent compositions based on live interaction with intelligent or semi-intellige…
A Study on Tension
Rather than offering a single narrative, A Study on Tension unfolds as an atmosphere. The tape focuses on the thresholds between attraction and resistance, intimacy and distance, stability and collapse. Its fragmented structure invites the viewer to remain attentive to small gestures, pauses, interruptions, and the accumulation of pressure over time.
Burning Song
Kali Malone's first solo album since All Life Long, recorded over two nights on the Bach Organ of Leipzig's Thomaskirche with Lucy Railton and Stephen O'Malley. Seven pieces that abandon canon form for a slower, more intuitive unfolding of chords, steps and bridging tones.
Eternal Almost
“Eternal Almost” is a collaborative album by Japanese musician Tomo Katsurada and Estonian composer Misha Panfilov. Born from the simple joy of songwriting and creative exchange, Tomo and Misha had long admired each other’s music from afar. When the opportunity to collaborate finally arrived, it felt completely natural, and by the time the album was finished, it almost seemed as though the two had known each other always. United by a shared sense of humour and musical curiosity, Tomo and Misha p…
Fragments
*100 copies limited edition* Bishu Chattopadhyay’s Fragments is a collection of nine compositions shaped by movement, memory, improvisation, and the passage between worlds. Born and raised in Kolkata and now living in New York, Chattopadhyay has spent much of his life moving between musical and cultural landscapes. The album reflects that experience without attempting to resolve it: fragments of a life, fragments of a time, fragments of a world in which beauty and uncertainty exist side by side.…
Electric Weasel Ensemble
Tip! Shifting continuously between minimalistic patterns, intricate soundscapes, and evolving textures of overlapping electronic sonorities, The Electric Weasel Ensemble presents a missing link in the history of electronic music. It is a series of previously unreleased live recordings from a little-known but trailblazingensemble of improvisers—equipped with a unique embrace of invented instruments and distinctly 1970s avant-garde sensibilities. This historic music is available on both double LP …

Early on, they christened their endeavor Jon Waine.…
Embryo
This album is not merely a meeting of musicians—it is a ritual of wood, metal, skin, and breath. A quiet spell that grows into an ecstatic dance. Embryo on Kryptox: a new chapter in an endless journey—shimmering, borderless, and open as the horizon itself. For more than five decades, Embryo has been moving between worlds. Founded in Munich in 1969, the internationally connected collective is not a conventional band but a living organism: Kraut rock dissolves into jazz, free improvisation merges …

Essential John Coltrane
John Coltrane’s legacy defies boundaries—not only musical ones. From his early beginnings in Philadelphia to his final, urgent explorations of the unknown, Coltrane continually expanded the language of modern music, transforming the possibilities of the jazz saxophone and redefining the relationship between performer, composition, and spiritual expression. His playing was never merely virtuosic: it was a deeply personal force, capable of moving from the most delicate melodic statements to torren…
Cookin' with the Miles Davis Quintet
“Few bands in the history of jazz have reached the heights achieved by this group... The entire LP is fantastic. I cannot imagine being without it.” – Ralph J. Gleeson. These words perfectly capture the enduring power of Cookin’ with the Miles Davis Quintet, a landmark recording by one of the greatest ensembles ever to shape the history of jazz. In the mid-1950s, the quintet brought together Miles Davis on trumpet, John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on double b…
Slightly All The Time, Recordings 1970-1974
Between 1970 and 1973 Soft Machine recorded five albums for CBS, and across those five records the band changed almost beyond recognition. Third still had Robert Wyatt singing on one side of it; by Seven there were no vocals, no Wyatt, no Elton Dean and no Hugh Hopper, and the group was playing a dense, written, riff-driven music that had more to do with Miles Davis's electric bands than with anything else coming out of England. This box follows that arc in detail. All five albums are here, rema…
Bo Harwood
Bo Harwood (1946–2022) was one of those behind-the-scenes figures of American independent cinema: a self-taught musician, composer, sound editor, sound mixer and songwriter. Harwood started out as the lead singer and guitarist of a Southern California rock band before a chance meeting with John Cassavetes changed the course of his career. He scored his first feature, The Bach Train, in 1969, and later joined Husbands as an inexperienced assistant in the editing room. He gradually became Cassavet…
World Jazz Sound
Swiss saxophonist Gilles Torrent may have been initially smitten by the sounds of US jazz giants like Coltrane, Shepp and Sanders, but as he’s developed and matured he’s cast his creative net much wider.  After teaching himself the sax at 21 he spent the next 11 years studying the concepts and innovations of Coltrane before moving on to take the next logical step - exploring and soaking up the many styles music from around the world, and incorporating them into his Coltranesque vision of jazz. A…
