Live in Antibes
By the late ’60s this saxophone star was entrenched as a leading light of avant-garde jazz—even as his sound always retained heavy doses of blues and soul.

Originally released across two albums by the BYG Actuel label, this mesmerizing performance returns now on 2 CDs in a digipak featuring new, in-depth notes and copious photos.

Gas
*Back in stock* For the first time ever, this book Wolfgang Voigt – Gas presents the visual aspect of the comprehensive gas project. it is not meant to be a monolithic retrospective of his visual work, but it features a broad spectrum of photographic images taken between 1995 and 1998 showing many different moods and perspectives of Wolfgang Voigt’s Cosmos. what they all have in common, however, is the mystical focus and seemingly, the blurring of boundaries between lightness and darkness, happi…

Antoine Dougbé et L'Orchestre Poly-Rythmo De Cotonou 1977 - 1982
Who was Antoine Dougbé? Even the most dedicated crate-digger might go their whole life without stumbling across any of the three LPs he released in the late 1970s and early ’80s. Yet all the musicians who happened to cross paths with him remember him with a mixture of admiration and fear; for Antoine Dougbé was not merely one of the most inventive songwriters to emerge from the fertile music scene of Cotonou, but also a powerful Vodún initiate whose close connection to the spirit world allowed h…
Os Mutantes
*2026 repress* Lilith present a reissue of Os Mutantes' self-titled debut, originally released in 1968. With the release of their debut LP in 1968, Os Mutantes cracked the already red hot Tropicalia scene wide open. Fusing traditional Brazilian music, psychedelia, rock, and a good dose of pure experimentation, they quickly became giants both in Brazil and in the outer fringes of pop music, where they have managed to reign supreme for the past four decades. Not an easy task in such a crowded aren…
Triple Point
Tip! Triple Point, featuring Pauline Oliveros, Doug Van Nort and Jonas Braasch, was an improvising trio with a core instrumentation of soprano saxophone, greis/electronics, and V-accordion. The name refers to the point of equilibrium on a phase plot, which acts as a metaphor for the group's improvisational dialogue. Triple Point's musical interaction was centered around an interplay between acoustics, physically-modeled acoustics (v-accordion), and electronics. Van Nort captured the sound of the…
Ntsano
On Ntsano, Mara & Naná Vasconcelos weave Québécois avant‑garde jazz into Afro‑Brazilian ritual: berimbau, winds and drums circling through slow‑burning themes that feel at once meditative, mysterious and fiercely alive.

La Cuccagna
On La cuccagna, Ennio Morricone sketches early‑60s Italian life in miniature: light, bittersweet themes, small‑combo colours and gently ironic swings that mirror a young woman’s fragile hopes inside a consumerist daydream starting to fray.
La ragazza e il Generale
In La ragazza e il generale, Ennio Morricone threads anti‑war irony through bittersweet melodies and marching figures, mixing folk‑tinged themes, choral snatches and tense orchestration into a score where tenderness and absurdity share the same battlefield.
Danger: Diabolik
On Danger: Diabolik, Ennio Morricone weaponises pop, jazz and electronics into a hyper‑stylised heist engine: fuzz guitars, wordless vocals and mod orchestration turning Mario Bava’s comic‑book caper into a delirious, late‑60s sonic hallucination.
Thrilling
In Thrilling, Ennio Morricone’s widescreen sense of drama condenses into a tightly wound suite of themes: tense strings, ghostly choirs and razor‑edged rhythm figures that turn suspense into something almost voluptuously atmospheric.
John Tchicai Quintet, John Tchicai Peter Kowald Duo
*Edition of 300 copies. High thickness cardboard with opaque laminated cover. Comes with a printed insert.* John Tchicai was extraordinarily prolific during the late 1960s and early 1970s, and this second archival release from Formalibera captures two essential, previously undocumented chapters of his story. Side one takes us to Danish Radio House, Copenhagen, October 1969, where Tchicai leads a remarkable hybrid quintet fresh from a European tour: Danish collaborators Hugh Steinmetz and Pierre …
Wigmore Hall 1968
*Edition of 300 copies. High thickness cardboard with opaque laminated cover. Comes with a printed insert.* John Tchicai (1936-2012) was one of the most visionary free jazz saxophonists of the 20th century - a rare artist whose voice stood apart even among giants. Born in Copenhagen to a Danish mother and a Congolese father, his path to New York came through a chance encounter at a socialist youth festival in Helsinki, where Bill Dixon and Archie Shepp heard him play and urged him to make the mo…
Release Of An Oath
Originally released in 1968 on Reprise Records, Release Of An Oath is the fourth studio album by The Electric Prunes and a radical departure from their earlier garage-psychedelic sound. The album was fully composed and arranged by David Axelrod, drawing inspiration from liturgical music and classical structures, most notably Johann Sebastian Bach’s Mass in F Minor.
Although credited to The Electric Prunes, the record largely features session musicians under Axelrod’s direction, with only drummer…
Dirty Water
Released in June 1966, Dirty Water stands as the definitive album by The Standells. Recorded during a two-day break from touring, the LP blends garage rock, attitude, and raw energy, powered by the iconic title track — a Top 10 hit and one of the band’s signature moments. A longtime cult favorite, it remains one of the strongest garage-rock statements of the 1960s.
Part One
Released in 1967 on Reprise Records, Part One is the second album by The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band and is widely regarded as their strongest and most cohesive work. Blending psychedelic pop, experimental rock, and surreal songwriting, the album features compositions by Frank Zappa, P.F. Sloan, Baker Knight, and Van Dyke Parks. More song-oriented than their debut yet still wildly unpredictable, Part One captures the strange, fractured beauty of Los Angeles psychedelia at its peak.
Istikhbars and Improvisations
On Istikhbars And Improvisations, Mustapha Skandrani turns solo piano into a bridge across the Mediterranean, translating Arabo‑Andalusian vocal modes into crystalline keyboard meditations that move like a modal Goldberg from Algiers to Paris and back.
Bill Nace Plays the 2 String Taishogoto
Bill Nace turns a traditional two‑string instrument into a focused sound laboratory, contrasting a feedback‑touched, spiralling first side with a pared‑back, bodily repetition that slowly blooms into vast harmonic space.
