Reissues
391 | Selezione 2
With the 391 project, Spittle shed light on the most recondite and peculiar realities of the italian underground. The Belpaese illustrated in imaginative regional postcards, with all the legacies of off culture: the do-it yourself ethos and the local gestation of phenomena from across the Channel - above all - such as new wave, post-punk and electronic nouvelle vague. Phenomenal little contributions collected on the periphery of the New World, with future stars of the alternative scene to come a…
Nippon Acid Folk 1970-1980
A counterculture movement united by an expansive, experimental and deeply soulful sensibility, Japan’s rebel protest music challenged the status quo and changed the country’s music industry in the process.
Project Frequency
* Limited edition of 105 copies * Originally recorded and mixed at ZSF Produkt Studio 1995. This second re-issue comes in green vinyl and with an updated artwork by Masami Akita. Remastered at Munemihouse in 2019 by Masami Akita.
Selected Works I & II
Late Music and Disciples are pleased to present the first and second volumes in an archival series of selected electronic and acoustic works by Sarah Davachi, all previously unreleased in the vinyl format. Featuring (way) back catalogue material from various CDs, cassettes, and EPs; singles and original film scores; as well as miscellaneous live and studio recordings.
The Sum Of Our Wounds (Cassette Recordings 1973-85)
Red Vinyl, edition of 500. The archetypal Martin Rev sound – a perennial influence on generations of musicians – is most prominently in evidence in the works of Suicide, the duo he played in across the decades with with Alan Vega. However, the radical and distinctive nature of his music can be traced further back in time, originating in the base energy of rock’n’roll which the teenage Rev experienced as the ubiquitous soundtrack to his home city of New York.
Eternity
2023 Repress. Released in 1976, Eternity was Alice Coltrane's first album for Warner Bros. after eight wondrous records on Impulse! Combining the drones and textures of India, the gospel and R&B of her Detroit youth and the dissonance of modern classical composition, Coltrane's music in the '70s would become increasingly difficult to categorize. Having moved a few years earlier to California (where she founded the Vedantic Center, an Ashram for spiritual studies), Coltrane stretches out on Etern…
Flaming Tunes
2023 repress. Post-punk, rising like a phoenix during the second half of the 1970s, was a movement that few could have anticipated or foreseen. Sophisticated, and impossible to nail down, bands like Wire, P.I.L., The Pop Group, The Fall, A Certain Ratio, Pere Ubu, Throbbing Gristle, and dozens of others, wedded forward thinking radicalism and the focused energy of punk, with revitalized forms of experimentalism that rethought the terms and ownership of the musical avant-garde. Of post-punk’s fi…
Perverted By Language
The Fall returned to Rough Trade in 1983 to release a pair of singles ("The Man Whose Head Expanded" and "Kicker Conspiracy") and Perverted By Language, their sixth proper studio album. Perverted By Language hints at the band's shift towards a distinctly pop approach, one that they would perfect via their Beggars Banquet output that immediately followed. Yet again, the force and panic of their initial Rough Trade recordings remains the foundation for much of the album. A transitional recording i…
Hardcore Vol. 2
2023 Repress. Devo's Hardcore documents the group's beginning as pre-punk outcasts in the fertile Akron, Ohio underground rock scene. Spawned at the nearby college of Kent State, site of the infamous May 4 Massacre, Devo formed as a conceptual art project armed with a radical philosophy of de-evolution. Brothers Mothersbaugh (Mark, Bob, and Jim) and Brothers Casale (Jerry and Bob) along with drummer Alan Myers soon whipped-up an otherworldly brand of "devolved blues" that could hold its own alon…
Hardcore Vol. 1
2023 repress. **Quality reissue of legendary early demos, available for the first time in over 20 years. Includes liner-notes insert with Moshe Brakha's photography** San Francisco's cherry-picking reissue label, Superior Viaduct, give new life to these crucial volumes of art-pop and pre-punk prototypes from Akron, Ohio's finest. 'Hardcore' documents the formative Devo's years, 1974-1977, of the brothers Mothersbaugh (Mark, Bob, and Jim) and Brothers Casale (Jerry and Bob) and their drummer Alan…
Under the Island: Experimental Music in Ireland 1960 - 1994
After two years of digging, hunting, unearthing archives, digitising and a lot of correspondence, Nyahh Records is very excited to finally be announcing the release of ‘Under the Island: A Compilation of Experimental Music in Ireland 1960 – 1994’. Ireland, a country known mostly in the pop music arena for U2, Thin Lizzy, Stiff Little Fingers et al and of course, the Show Band era of the 60s’ to the present, the country is not known for producing a lot of ‘cutting edge, Avant Garde music. A few v…
Golden Joy Club
Gaining prominence during the 1980s home recording movement, Randy Greif has built a devoted following over the years for his unorthodox compositional style. On his early tapes, industrial and dark ambient textures are melded with cinematic song structure more akin to the most wildly experimental of post-punk acts. “Golden Joy Club”, first released as a cassette in 1986, is a well-known highlight of this era. Transferred from its original master tape and newly restored for CD by Grant Richardson…
Crack
Reissue of the 1994 b/b tapes release. Arising from the same sessions that produced the legendary cassettes “Grind” and “White Music”, Macronympha’s highly sought-after “Crack” is a tour de force of psychedelic harsh noise and deranged, in-studio manipulations. Master tape transferred by Grant Richardson, and restored faithfully in line with the original issue.
Guido & Maurizio De Angelis Original Television Soundtracks Collection
Digitmovies presents, for the first time in a complete edition in a 3-CD box, 6 OSTs by Guido and Maurizio De Angelis, composed for television between 1972 and 1975 and taken from the archive of the historic RCA.
Spirit Of France
Obscure, rare spiritual jazz, deep folk and psychedelia sounds from the French ‘70s - ‘80s underground.
Psychicemotus
Psychicemotus was released in 1965 and features Yusef Lateef on various flutes and tenor saxophone, Georges Arvanitas on piano, bassist Reggie Workman, and drummer James Black. And while the Coltrane era of modal and free jazz was in full swing, Lateef always followed his own muse, and continued looking forward while looking back to ancient musics. His use of bamboo and Chinese wood flutes on the title track and "Bamboo Flute Blues" added not only dimension and texture, but rhythmic invention to…
More Lost Performances (Revisited)
"The almost five year span bookended in this particular Ayler revisitation marks, in a certain sense,
the beginning and end points of the most lasting and creative portion of his remarkable, though
sadly brief, career." – Brian Olewnick
Bill Evans Duos With Jim Hall & Trios ‘64 & ‘65 (Revisited)
"The emerging credo of western society’s post-Beat counterculture was egalitarian and
anti-hierarchical, be the hierarchy social, political or on the bandstand. Evans and Ayler shared
the belief; only their lexicons were different. If hearing Spiritual Unity was akin, as Ted Joans
wrote, to someone shouting “Fuck!” in St. Patrick’s" – Chris May
Acid Psychedelic King Go To The East
Rare 1975 live and studio recordings by the Japanese psychedelic noise legends Les Rallizes Dénudés.
Rain On Us
"A live set comprising nine songs all written by the good pastor, this kicks off with the title track, which bemoans churches and preachers who've quit praising and preaching, and goes on to offer encouragement to anyone on the verge of doing likewise. Donald and a few other people take turns to lead the singing. There's nothing here to set this album apart from the mass of choir-based gospel albums in an over-crowded sector of the Christian music market. All the familiar gospel cliches are here…
