Reissues
Floral Shoppe
*2025 stock.* "[...] By no conventional logic should Floral Shoppe have made it beyond the deep-internet realms it emerged from. But like candy-colored mold, its power has rapidly spread while its then-teenage creator Ramona Xavier, the Portland artist now known as Vektroid, has remained an elusive figure, simultaneously a pioneer and an outlier. Her album remains one-of-a-kind in its depiction of anxiety and crisis rendered through waves of numbness that range from deeply unsettling to artifici…

To date, this is one of the rarest and wanted ambient recordings that…
Nod
First Nod release from 1992, now on vinyl for the first time. Originally self-released as a CD, a subset of the recordings were perfectly re-mastered by James Plotkin for this slab of black vinyl. During the "year punk broke," this trio (and sometimes four-piece) were holed up in a Western NY enclave, perfecting their craft of imperfections. A combination of studio and home recordings, this self-titled gem perfectly introduces you to the charming shambly rock which Nod has been creating for the …
Jazz Raga
With Jazz Raga, Gábor Szabó fused modal jazz, Indian raga, and 1960s psychedelic currents into a single visionary statement. Recorded in 1966 at Van Gelder Studio, it remains a landmark of cross‑cultural improvisation—sitar‑tinged grooves meeting the freedom and pulse of spiritual jazz.
Underwater Electronic Orchestra
Ojo de Mujer presents a rare gem from the twilight zone of 1970s electronic experimentation: Labat's Transition, an album that exists in its own peculiar dimension where psychedelic disco meets aquatic reverie, and synthetic soundscapes dissolve into moments of unexpected grace. Surfacing from the depths of obscurity, this Canadian pressing has long been whispered about among collectors and connoisseurs of the era's most adventurous electronic music. The album's striking cover — featuring a figu…

With Grinning Cat, Susumu Yokota continues to refine his delicate ambient universe through a dreamlike balance of melody, texture, and silence. The 2001 album merges found sounds, piano fragments, and vaporous rhythms into an otherworldly narrative of domestic tranquility and imaginative reverie.
Theusz Hamtaahk - Trilogie Au Trianon
A monumental document of Magma at their most powerful! Recorded over two nights during the band's 30th anniversary celebration at the Trianon theater in Paris (May 13-14, 2000), this is the first and only recording to present the complete Theusz Hamtaahk trilogy in its entirety: "Theusz Hamtaahk" ("Time of Hatred"), "Ẁurdah Ïtah" ("Dead Earth"), and the legendary "Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh".

With Norma Winstone’s ethereal voice and Henry Lowther’s lyrical trumpet, Garrick’s compositions glow with his characteristic blend of English pastoralism and modal jazz introspection—a rediscovery of autumnal warmth and luminous craft.
Abaete
Abaete by Abaete is a cult classic and one of the rare treasures from the 1970s Bahian scene—a masterfully woven tapestry of jazz-funk samba, built by a mysterious vocal trio whose only full-length album is now finally gaining renewed attention through reissues. Recorded in 1977 and originally veiled by obscurity, the album is celebrated for its supple grooves, innovative synth lines, and a distinctly Northeastern Brazilian flavor.

The Velvet Underground & Nico (LP)
*2025 Reprint. Edition featuring the album’s artworks directly printed within the vinyl surface.* Over Half a century later, this record still slays; if any album is deserving of the "classic" tag, it's The Velvet Underground & Nico.

Bluebeard
With Bluebeard (1972), Ennio Morricone explores the gothic absurdity of Edward Dmytryk’s erotic thriller through a score oscillating between melancholy, parody, and psychological unease. By blending chamber restraint and baroque flamboyance, Morricone transforms the infamous tale into a study of decadence, control, and the seductions of death.
Le Trio Infernal
Composed by Ennio Morricone for Francis Girod’s 1974 film Le Trio Infernal, this score fuses elegance and moral decay in dazzling contrast. Through waltzes, grotesque marches, and ironic chanson motifs, Morricone mirrors the film’s mordant humor and gothic perversity, crafting one of his most caustically inventive European soundtracks.
Per le Antiche Scale
In Per le Antiche Scale, Ennio Morricone sculpts a haunting and cerebral score for Mauro Bolognini’s 1975 psychological drama. Through mournful strings, dissonant gestures, and lyrical fragments, Morricone captures the fragile border between reason and madness, crafting one of his most introspective and emotionally complex film soundtracks.
La Disubbidienza
With La Disubbidienza, Ennio Morricone crafts an austere and sensual soundscape for Aldo Lado’s 1981 film. The score balances chamber intimacy and languid melodies, exploring moral tension through sparse orchestration and unexpected harmonic turns. It’s a work where desire and restraint coexist in fragile, hypnotic equilibrium.
