Natural Sonic
Tip! Yoshiaki Ochi's "Natural Sonic" from 1990 from one of the Japanese leading environmental music label "Newsic". Magical sound & ensemble of the mother nature, perfectly melting in with the electronics. Released on Wacoal Art Center’s Newsic label, Yoshiaki Ochi’s Natural Sonic shares some of the same magic heard in the music of fellow roster mates Yoshio Ojima, Motohiko Hamase, and Mich Live. This time the aural trick would be one of the most simple of them all. Largely composed, conceived, …
Vox Flora, Vox Fauna
“Vox Flora Vox Fauna” is an invocation in which Ece Canli channels the voice of Earth itself. A ritual of breath, rebirth, bone, and buried memory. Like the most transcendent moments of Dead Can Dance, the soundscapes are primitive, tribal, atmospheric, and utterly cathartic: echoes of a wounded planet, mourning and resisting at once. They unleash the raw force of Gaia, vibrating through ancient rhythms and spectral chants that seem to rise from the soil itself. In an age of collapse, this is mu…
Spirits Rejoice!
Released in 1978- now re-issued for the first time, the 2nd album from South African jazz/fusion power house, Spirits Rejoice.
Uzed
Uzed is the fourth album by Belgian band Univers Zero. It was released three years after 'Ceux du Dehors', due to a change in line-up and a new repertoire, although the EP 'Crawling Wind' had been released in the meantime. The album marked a turning point for the band. Univers Zero explored new electric colors, giving it a more rock feel with the addition of new musicians such as Jean-Luc Plouvier, who introduced the synthesizer, guitarist Michel Delory, who played a memorable solo in 'Célesta (…

U-Boot 319
U-Boot 319's complete discography - a collection that captured one of Italy's most unique post-punk experiments from the 1980s and '90s. The Marchigian band from Fossombrone (Pesaro-Urbino province) represented an almost singular phenomenon in the Italian post-punk scene: a group that merged new wave with Weimar-era aesthetics, drawing declared inspiration from Kurt Weill's compositions and Bertolt Brecht's theater. Despite forming officially in 1981 and remaining active until 1994, U-Boot 319 n…
All The Young Droids - Junkshop Synth Pop 1978-1985

Compiled by curator Phil King, the music here connects the dots between DIY synth enthusiasts grappling with new, cheap synthesizers at the tail-end of punk and wannabe, jobbing songwriters enthrall to the new music pioneered by Gary Numan, Depeche Mode and Daniel Miller's Mute Records. Featuring rare tracks of auto-didactic prog…

The Story Of Valerie
2025 Stock. The discovery of a cassette of Carola Baer's early 90s private home recordings was the equivalent of finding a needle in a haystack. Made as a one off mixtape of newly recorded songs, and given away to a long-since forgotten recipient, this cassette was found in 2017 at a Goodwill "bins" location in Portland, Oregon. These chaotic, by the pound thrift stores contain 1000's of unsorted items in constant flux, which are only available for the public to buy for a limited time before th…

This exceptional release captures not just the music itself but a pivotal moment in cultural history—the last flowering of anci…
Ljus Från Afrika
In 1976, Swedish progressive folk-rock band Kebnekaise released their most audacious statement: Ljus från Afrika (Light from Africa), an album that traded their familiar Nordic melodies for an entirely African repertoire. What could have been cultural appropriation instead became something more nuanced—a document of genuine musical exchange that emerged from years of collaboration and friendship. The album's genesis lies in the band's relationship with Hassan Bah, a percussionist from Guinea-Con…
Faust
Few debut albums arrive with the kind of self-contained logic and radical spirit found on Faust's self-titled 1971 statement. Released at the height of rock music's imperial phase, it marked the beginning of a project that would sidestep genre and expectation entirely, offering instead a fractured, exploratory take on what popular music could become. This Bureau B reissue offers a fresh opportunity to engage with one of the most curious and uncompromising records of its time. Faust emerged from …
