Reissues
Io
Sublime frequencies from the golden era of ambient electronica. Plumbing hidden depths beneath a deceptively tranquil surface, MLO's mid-90s masterpiece Io is an overlooked gem from a golden era for ambient electronic music. Originally released in 1994, Jon Tye and Pete Smith's collaborative album responded to the growing chill-out movement by leaning into classical and avant-garde influences from Satie, Debussy and Cage through to Soft Machine, Incredible String Band and Eno. Recorded across va…
Il Ras del Quartiere
On Il ras del quartiere, Goblin reroute their horror‑prog DNA into neon‑lit funk and sleek electronics, rescuing a cult 1983 Vanzina film from VHS purgatory with a newly remixed, visually lavish edition that finally gives these four pieces their own stage.
Power On!
The first ever reissue of one of the great hidden artifacts of early prog and fusion: 'Power On!', the second and final full-length by the little-known Frankfurt ensemble From, originally issued by the German arm of CBS in 1972 and now returned to print by Free Flow Archive. Building upon and radically expanding creative ground pioneered by Miles Davis on 'In a Silent Way' and Herbie Hancock on 'Mwandishi', alongside roughly contemporaneous efforts by Soft Machine and The Nice, the sounds of Fro…
Essen 1970
A document of one of British folk-rock's great might-have-beens, captured just weeks before it ended. Recorded live at the Grugahalle in Essen on 23 October 1970, during the third Essen Pop & Blues Festival, Essen 1970 finds Fotheringay - the short-lived band Sandy Denny formed on leaving Fairport Convention - at the height of its powers, playing with the confidence of a group that believed it had years ahead of it. Within three months, it would be gone.
Fotheringay took its name from Denny's ow…
Keep On Truckin'
One of the prized private press rarities of early 1970s American rock. Originally issued in 1972 on the tiny East Coast Records imprint, Keep On Truckin' is the lone album by Surprize, a Philadelphia five-piece whose single recorded statement - heavy, bluesy, psychedelic, and threaded with organ - has spent decades near the top of collectors' want lists, original copies nearly impossible to find and counterfeited more than once along the way.
The band had been together only eight months when, in…
Peak Impressions
One of the strangest and most ambitious artifacts of American psychedelia. Originally issued by Monitor in 1967, Peak Impressions is the lone album by The Freeborne, a band of Boston teenagers - their ages ranged from seventeen to nineteen, three of them still in high school - who produced a record so overloaded with ideas that it has confounded easy classification ever since. Long a target of bootleggers, counterfeited repeatedly across the decades, it stands among the great cult objects of the…
Le Cimetière Des Arlequins
Originally issued by Philips in 1973, Le Cimetière des Arlequins is the second LP by Ange, and the record that transformed a young band from Belfort into the defining voice of French progressive music. A gold record in its homeland, it remains one of the great theatrical statements of the European 1970s - a world of discordant organ, Mellotron, and feverish narration that owes as much to the chanson tradition as it does to the symphonic ambitions of its English contemporaries.
The album announce…
Emile Jacotey
This is one of the cornerstones of French progressive music. Originally issued in 1975, Émile Jacotey is the fourth LP by Ange, the band from Belfort that stood, by the middle of the decade, as the undisputed leaders of the French rock scene - and it remains among the most singular concept albums the era produced anywhere in Europe.
The album's great achievement lies in how it binds together two major cultural currents of 1970s France: the national passion for progressive rock, and what came to …
Fuente Y Caudal
Originally released in 1973, Fuente y Caudal is widely regarded as one of the most important recordings in the history of flamenco guitar. The album captures Paco de Lucía at the height of his early creative period, combining traditional flamenco forms with his own modern harmonic ideas and dazzling virtuosity.
The album includes the legendary rumba “Entre Dos Aguas,” a groundbreaking instrumental that became Paco de Lucía’s signature piece and helped introduce flamenco guitar to a global audien…

Adnos I-III
2026 Repress. Initially produced by Table of the Elements. Eliane Radigue's Adnos trilogy was composed between 1973 and 1980 and is among her finest compositions. Adnos is a deeply meditative work of infinite depth and sensitivity; one of the high points of modern minimal electronic composition. Packaged in a heavy duty 3CD jacket much like the recent Eleh releases and containing extensive archival materials.Eliane Radigue has composed for magnetic tape and electronic media since the late 1950's…
Pyramid
Available for the first time since its original release in 1980, this is compelling, funky, exploratory jazz from Melbourne, Australia. The album opens with the floating Song For Bobby, a downtempo gem with the heartbeat aura of Herbie Hancock’s Butterfly; Orchestral Excerpts (From The Symphony Of Life), In The Basement and City Of Stone are high-grade fusion jams with one eye on Weather Report and Return to Forever, the other on the organic Australian sound of Alan Lee and John Sangster.
The al…
Alice The Goon
On Alice The Goon, Nurse With Wound stretch a single bad dream into half an hour of delirium: queasy not‑quite‑“easy listening” that mutates from lounge lilt to industrial throb, like a Popeye cartoon left to rot in a dripping underground cinema.
Healsgebedda Budgerigar
On Healsgebedda Budgerigar, Nurse With Wound turn memory itself into a delirious tape loop: three long, sample‑swollen excursions where pet chatter, phantom TV themes and street detritus melt into a woozy, psychedelic netherworld of half‑remembered sound.

Ethiopian Musics 1971
Taking a slight deviation from the widely celebrated path through experimental sounds that has largely defined their efforts over the years, the venerable Sub Rosa returns with rare and essential dive into the world of ethnomusicology with ‘Ethiopian Musics 1971’, their third release dedicated to the recordings of Ragnar Johnson and the second devoted to the groundbreaking recordings he made in Ethiopia with Ralph Harrisson during the summer of 1971. Belonging to a larger body of recordings dedi…
