Zuckerzeit
Limited Anniversary Edition: 180g vinyl, hand numbered, 1000 copies. In 1974, Cluster entered the sugar era. This doesn't mean that they had finally arrived in their promised land, but they had simply moved from Berlin to the country, to a small place called Forst on the river Weser. Many a thing had changed for band members Moebius and Roedelius since Cluster II: They had moved from boisterous Berlin to this calm rural village, they had founded the band Harmonia, had set up their own studio an…

Il Tuffatore
* 300 copies, machine-printed numbered edition, 180gr vinyl *A beatiful reissue of Flavio Giurato's second album released in Italy in 1982, whose original edition usually sells for crazy prices on the second-hand market.

The powerful image of the high diver re-emerging to the light and air after his performance orchestrates and subsumes the spirit of the whole work, in which s…
Gelato Metropolitano
“I was born in the sun of a big country that free maybe never was, a big country of happy people, of big forests and big cities.” This is how Alberto Camerini's second album opens, and it is clear from the outset that one is dealing with something not easy to categorize, wild, but equally enveloping and fascinating. The overall sound, while diverse, retains its own continuity and comes across as a blend of Brazilian sounds, singer-songwriter songwriting, and DIY bedroom electronics, with Camerin…

Miroslav Vitous Group

Timeless
*2024 stock* John Abercrombie’s ECM debut Timeless (recorded 1974) has proven to be exactly that.

Free Press. "[It] indicates that John Abercrombie is a major musical voice of tomorrow.”
