Reissues
PQQQU
Comprised of several lost artefacts from The Haters heyday- PQQQU is not a reissue, but a full hour of previously unreleased recordings. Two tracks of studio material from an unreleased and thought to be lost cassette from the late 80s, paired with two live actions in Zürich on the same evening in October 1990, including the legendary "Building Empty Holes" performance featuring Joke Lanz and Rudolf Eb.Er. Audio mastered from cassette and VHS rips by Grant Richardson.
Wranglin'
*Back in print!* First released in 1964 under the expert production of Blackwell for Island Records, this remarkable album captures the essence of Jamaican soulful jazz through the extraordinary talent of Ernest Ranglin. As a pioneering guitarist and composer, Ranglin delivers an impeccable performance that blends the rich traditions of jazz with the vibrant rhythms of Jamaica.
Accompanied by a highly swinging rhythm section, featuring Malcolm Cecil on bass and Alan Ganley on drums, the album ex…
Il Metodo per Suonare
Mega Tip! Edition of 200 copies, comes with a large illustrated insert. Giuseppe Chiari arrived at music from the wrong direction. He read mathematics and engineering at university and studied piano and composition privately, and it was John Cage who turned him toward experimental music. With Pietro Grossi he founded Vita Musicale Contemporanea, one of the first Italian associations for new music, and with Sylvano Bussotti he assembled the travelling exhibition Musica e segno. In 1962 Frederic …
Hrafnamynd
*2026 repress!!* Balmat 17 marks both a return and a new frontier. It is the second album on the label from Patricia Wolf, whose 2022 album See-Through is one of the most beloved in Balmat's catalog; it also marks the first time that Wolf has turned her hand to a film soundtrack. The results are every bit as magical as fans of the Portland, Oregon, composer's music might expect. Hrafnamynd--Icelandic for "raven film"--is a new feature-length documentary by experimental filmmaker Edward Pack Dave…
Music and Words (3CD Bundle)
Gathered as a three‑disc bundle, Adam Bohman’s Music and Words series reads like a sprawling, decades‑deep diary of the British underground. Domestic cassette experiments, found‑object acoustics and stream‑of‑conscious monologues mutate across volumes 1–3 into a fiercely idiosyncratic universe where language, noise and everyday detritus share equal weight, turning one man’s tape habit into a major work of experimental autobiography.This Bohman’s Bundle contains:- Music and Words- Music and Words…
Lighthouse
Recorded in 1997, on The Shadow Ring’s return from their final American tour, Lighthouse captures the group at their most stripped-down and visionary. Graham Lambkin’s fractured texts conjure Folkestone’s haunted coastline—Vikings, the Morgawr, a fading Britain, the pull of the sea—under the sway of Alternative TV’s Vibing Up the Senile Man (Part One), the mechanical vernaculars of Robert Ashley, and the deflated humor of Dad’s Army and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum.
Opening the trio’s famed final phase…
Soft Power
*2026 repress!* Ezra Feinberg’s third album Soft Power sees the composer-guitarist enlist an impressive array of fellow musicians including Mary Lattimore, David Moore (Bing & Ruth), Jefre Cantu-Ledesma, Robbie Lee and share the life affirming lead single ‘Future Sand’.
Defined by its abundance of melodies, repeating figures and ecstatic improvisations, Soft Power exudes an enlightened and transformative spirit to empower the listener. Feinberg, a practising psychoanalyst and former founding me…
KWALK
Wah Wah Wino's Davy Kehoe, Morgan Buckley and Olmo are joined by avant legend Roger Doyle, among others, on a delectably brilliant, 54 minute collage teased together over the past 3 years. Dont miss this!!!!
multitudes I and II
This is a re-issue of Delphine Dora’s Multitudes I and II. these releases were originally made available in 2009 and 2013 respectively.

Eternal thanks to Delphine.
Pestmaskine
*115 copies limited edition* "Is the grime of gossipy society getting you down? True crime podcasts no longer greasing your gears? Then may I propose some not so quiet time with the latest offering from Heksehyl, Copenhagen's premier polymung, who is often seen skulking the streets around Mayhem with a squeegee in one hand and busted 4-track in the other. It's easy to get über glum when your favourite goblet has a dent so deep you wonder “what is the point?” but Mr Balslev has cooked up Pestmask…
Black Rhythm Happening
Following his striking 1968 debut Ghetto Music, the radical trumpeter and composer Eddie Gale presented an extension of that vision continuing to seek truth and justice through his music on his magnificent 2nd Blue Note album Black Rhythm Happening, recorded in 1969. Joining the Noble Gale Musicians (Gale, saxophonist/flutist Russell Lyle, and bassists Judah Samuel and Henry Pearson) and Noble Gale Singers (including Joann Gale Stevens and Fulumi Prince) are guest musicians including alto saxoph…
Body Trip
Originally released in 2016 on Constellation Tatsu, Body Trip introduced Japanese ambient composer H. Takahashi’s quietly immersive approach to minimal electronic composition. Built from delicate synth tones, meditative repetition, and understated melodic movement, the album has become a lasting favorite within contemporary ambient circles. Over the past decade, Takahashi has developed an internationally respected body of work spanning releases such as Raum, Low Power, Escapism, Elegy, and Paleo…
Further Explorations
Huge Tip! Further Explorations follows on from Gentle Fire’s 3CD retrospective box set Explorations, released in 2020. These new archive recordings came to light in the process of unearthing the tapes for the 4CD box set by their fellow Stockhausen collaborators Intermodulation. The pieces used on this CD are taken from two sessions recorded for German radio in 1973 and 74, one for Sender Freies Berlin and the other for Hessischer Rundfunk in Frankfurt. These beautifully recorded and preserved p…
Torn Asunder: The Half Girl
*300 copies limited eidtion* Power Electronics, for the most part, stays within its lanes of transgressive misanthropy, with a blackened explosiveness of tortured psyches and nightmarish reflections for the darkest facets of the human condition. Since Whitehouse introduced the phrase, concept, and framework to Power Electronics, its authorship has been primarily male. But within the past decade or so, a diverse web of voices - female, feminist, non-binary, queer - has thrust the PE aesthetic bey…

Bloque 6
“Bloque 6” (1968), by Juan Carlos Calderón, is a landmark recording in the history of modern jazz in Spain, markedly different from the albums Calderón would record just a few years later under the influence of funk, disco music, and even flamenco. Juan Carlos Calderón enjoyed a long and successful career, composing and arranging some of the most iconic songs by Spanish artists such as Joan Manuel Serrat, Mocedades, and Ana Belén, among many others. However, his musical beginnings were closely …
Fuera Del Cielo
‘La Balsa’ was the first Argentine massive rock hit. In 1967 Los Gatos became the most famous local rock band with this song. At the front, as composer and singer, was Litto Nebbia. Although this milestone has remained eternally linked to Nebbia's name, almost eclipsing the rest of his work, it is really his solo career that unveils the artist's overwhelming talent and his determination to create music freely, regardless ofcommercial considerations.
“Fuera del cielo” (1975) is an art rock/space …
Satori
Originally released in 1971, "Satori" is Flower Travellin’ Band’s groundbreaking masterpiece and one of the most visionary albums of the early heavy rock era. It fused hard rock, psychedelia, progressive music and traditional Eastern influences into a sound unlike anything heard before. Unlike many rock albums of the era, “Satori” is structured as a continuous musical journey, with its five tracks presented as interconnected movements rather than conventional songs. The band’s powerful rhythm se…
Music To Set Everything On Fire
After a brief period during which they recorded only a couple of 7-inch singles for the Orfeón label that had a very limited distribution, Mexican rockers Antorcha fully embraced a DIY approach to managing their own career. They had evolved into a heavy psychedelic rock group, with no metaphors and no compromises. Anarchists in a country that could barely utter the word without trembling. It was the final years of the 1960s. Their influences came from Iron Butterfly, Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, V…
Trace
Powerful trio music by pianist Takehiro Honda, known for his strong touch and bluesy feeling, together with an American rhythm section. The album features a line up of compelling originals, including the overwhelmingly powerful "Minors Only" and the title track "Salaam Salaam," whose title means “peace” in Swahili.
East Wind was a ground-breaking jazz label established in 1974 through the full cooperation of Ai Music, as it was then known, and Nippon Phonogram, as it was then known. Over a per…
