África Brasil

The band incorporated elements of prog/rock and psychedelia, combining the theatrics of Gabriel era Genesis and the psychedelic lighting effects of Hawkwind but on a bargain budget. First time on vinyl! do not miss this psych-prog gem!
Drugs Are Nice
Originally self-released during 1990, a tapestry of noise, girls talking into tape recorders, pre- and post-song material.
Bandolero
Originally released in 1970 on the short-lived Truth Records label, Bandolero by Bandolero emerges once again as one of the most unbridled and mysterious artifacts of Puerto Rico’s underground rock scene. Long out of circulation and shrouded in legend, the album is finally making a triumphant return—restored and ready to ignite a new generation of listeners.
Across eleven original tracks, Bandolero fuses searing fuzz guitars, swirling organ lines, and a propulsive Latin rhythmic core to create…
Investigation No.1
Originally released in the early 1970s, Investigation No. 1 by Carl Sherlock Holmes Investigation stands as an obscure but compelling chapter in the story of experimental jazz-funk. Blending the spiritual depth of jazz with the rhythmic pulse of funk and a distinctly Afrocentric consciousness, the album reflects a transformative period when musicians used groove and improvisation as tools for both artistic discovery and social expression.
Musically, Investigation No. 1 sits at the crossroads o…
Olympiad - Vol. 4 - Curling
On John Zorn’s Olympiad Vol. 4 – Curling, John Zorn exhumes one of his rarest 1970s game pieces, a slow‑burn study in sustained tones, handing it to ROVA Saxophone Quartet and the William Winant Percussion Group, who turn its minimalist rules into 45 minutes of hovering, hypnotic sound.
John Zorn's Bagatelles Vol. 6
On John Zorn’s Bagatelles Vol. 6, John Zorn hands a fresh batch of his angular miniatures to the Brian Marsella Trio, who render them as a volatile, deeply melodic piano‑trio songbook where Monkish heads, free detonations and elusive “exotic” moods feel entirely at home.
John Zorn's Bagatelles Vol. 5
On John Zorn’s Bagatelles Vol. 5, John Zorn hands eight spiky miniatures to the Kris Davis Quartet, who turn his angular “weirdo tunes” into a fierce, lyrical piano‑guitar quartet set where structure, swing and free combustion constantly collide.
Exotica
On Exotica, Sun Ra is recast as an unlikely lounge visionary, folding the lush fantasy worlds of Les Baxter and Hollywood mood music into raw, off‑kilter Saturn tapes that turn easy listening into uneasy, Afrofuturist escape.
Black Suite

I Feel Funky / Talkin' Talkin'
Matata were formed in Kenya in 1963, laying down their grooves in Nairobi's Brilliant Club before going on to record two albums in London in the early 70s. Both Air Fiesta and Independence are perfect nuggets of Afro-funk, but alas Matata were reportedly homesick and they disbanded to return home. Their short-lived legacy lives on though, and now Dynamites Cuts have turned to their second album to present two of the hottest joints on a cool and deadly 7". 'I Feel Funky' is one of the band's bigg…

Hosianna Mantra
Newly remastered vinyl edition of this seminal 1972 release. In the history of experimental music, few artistic decisions have proven as radical or as successful as Florian Fricke's complete abandonment of electronic instrumentation on Popol Vuh's third album, Hosianna Mantra. Released in 1972, this stunning work represents not just a departure from the Moog synthesizer explorations that defined the group's first two releases, but a complete reimagining of what spiritual music could accomplish i…
Mullah Said

Generic Flipper
Generic Flipper, the debut album by Flipper, remains the most absorbing full-length LP to emerge from the early San Francisco punk scene. A constant source of imitation for so-called "noise rock" bands, it has yet to be surpassed in its nihilistic glee. Recorded between October 1980 and August 1981 and released in 1982 on the indispensable Subterranean Records, this album functions as a chaotic, sticky mass of individual personalities: the magma-like bass eruptions and dual vocals of Will Shatte…
L'Éthiopien, The Ethiopian
Ethiopiques 32: Nalbandian The Ethiopian resurrects Nalbandian The Ethiopian & Either/Orchestra as a blazing big‑band bridge between 1950s Addis and 21st‑century Boston, restoring Nerses Nalbandian’s forgotten Ethio‑jazz charts with cinematic force.
Lola
On Lola, Zbigniew Namysłowski Modern Jazz Quartet fuse blazing post‑bop with Polish highlander melodies, cutting a 1964 London session that became both a historic first outside the Iron Curtain and a cult artefact of fiercely local modern jazz.
