Out Of Chaos
The saxophone, thunderous as a peal of lightning, burns the listener’s body and shakes the soul. Out Of Chaos captures a new frontier reached by Kosuke Mine beyond the depths of chaos. Having attracted widespread attention through his work with the Masafumi Kikuchi Group and the consecutive release of three albums under his own name in 1970, Kosuke Mine was one of the most talked-about figures in Japanese jazz. Following the breakup of the Kikuchi Group, he released the masterpiece Daguri in 197…
Windy & Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory
Windy and Carl Meet Optigan Conservatory is a purposefully misleading title for the first collaborative work from four friends who met close to 30 years prior. All active participants in Michigan independent music circles since the early '90s, Windy and Carl are well-known for their foundational contributions to drift and guitar-born ambient sounds, with songs characterized by deep connections to the natural world and a hard to pin down yet impossible to miss emotional vulnerability. Optigan Con…
Série Torso
CD boxset reissuing the four Série Torso cassettes released on Deadline Recordings. Includes a fifth bonus disc on unreleased material, and featuring photos of Black Leather Jesus fans given for use.
For The Summer, Or Forever
*100 copies limited edition* Laconic haze, ethereal curiosities, nostalgic glimpses and fictional illusions. Northern Irish Halftribe’s (Ryan Bisset’s) third album arrives punctually to soundtrack the coming summer – or eternity, apparently, if you like. It is indeed suitably warm and familiar stuff, going straight for the bliss-out button with dreamy, droning pieces mixing airy synths and calm field recordings.
Sergio Mendes & Brasil '66
On Herb Alpert Presents Sergio Mendes & Brasil ’66, the pianist and his group turn bossa nova and Brazilian songcraft into sleek, cross‑border pop. Their version of Jorge Ben’s “Mais Que Nada” became the first Portuguese‑language hit in the US, opening doors for Brazilian music worldwide and helping earn the album a place in the Grammy Hall of Fame.
Nigeria 80
Strut presents Nigeria 80, the next essential chapter in the legendary Nigeria 70 series, diving deep into the explosive sound world of 1980s Nigeria.
Butterfly
*2026 repress!!!* Oh yes! First ever official reissue of the positively sublime and very rare Butterfly LP, recorded in Tokyo in 1979 by Japanese songstress Kimiko Kasai and jazz legend Herbie Hancock. Due to its super-rare status as a Japan-only release, this exquisite collection of covers never got the recognition it deserved at the time, despite incredibly inspired performances from Kimiko, Herbie and the supremely talented musicians assembled for the project. From heavenly drummer Alphonse M…
Nature's Dream-Harp
Huge Tip! “Sacred Aeolian music capturing and harnessing the divine power of the wind”. Aeolian Harp is somewhere between a string instrument and a receiver. Its strings are agitated by the wind without any human interference, producing tones entirely of its own volition. Archer toured the British Isles setting up his harp in various sacred and loosely mystical locations. Where he let the Devaharp transmit an otherwise unknown sacred music that has always existed around us.
Listening to the natu…
D.N.A. (LP)
*Warehouse find!* "D.N.A." is a contemporary jazz album recorded at Mondial Studios in Milan in December 1996 by two 'heavyweights' of Italian and international jazz music, trumpeter Enrico Rava and pianist Mario Rusca, the latter here feature with his trio accompanied by double bass player Lucio Terzano and drummer Tony Arco. The album alternates original compositions written by Mario Rusca with evergreen classics of the genre.
In 1997 SAAR Records with its Giants Of Jazz label for the contemp…
Hooteroll?
An adventurous instrumental jazz-rock fusion album that captures the free-form chemistry between keyboardist Howard Wales and guitarist Jerry Garcia. The record blends jazz improvisation, psychedelic rock, blues, funk, and progressive influences into fluid, exploratory compositions driven by Wales' inventive keyboard work and Garcia's expressive, melodic guitar playing. Supported by musicians including John Kahn, Bill Vitt, and Martin Fierro, the album emphasizes spontaneous interplay over conve…
Undercurrent / Wanderlust
With a refined, modern sensibility and a deeply human sense of space, “Undercurrent / Wanderlust” balances detail and emotion. Each track unfolds like a short journey: moments of clarity and restraint giving way to tension, color, and release. The partnership between Suzuki’s expressive musical voice and Okagawa’s atmospheric approach creates a sound world that is both immersive and immediate—an invitation to listen closely, then follow where the music leads.
La Rueda Infinita de Hans
La rueda infinita de Hans continues the exploration initiated by Juan Belda & The Bit Band, expanding their language through a conceptually structured and musically ambitious work.
The album brings together a stable ensemble of outstanding musicians from the worlds of jazz and experimental music: Jorge Pardo, Enrico Barbaro, Juanjo Ortí and Epi Lorente. Their collective virtuosity shapes a sound that moves freely between composition and improvisation, precision and openness. Throughout the recor…
No Encuentro La Tónica
With No encuentro la tónica, Juan Belda & The Bit Band push their musical language further into unpredictable territory. The album unfolds as a restless and multifaceted work where jazz, experimental rock and electronic textures intersect freely. Rather than following a fixed stylistic path, the music constantly shifts perspective, moving through dense arrangements, sudden rhythmic turns and moments of spacious improvisation.
The ensemble once again brings together a remarkable group of musician…
Carretera Mágica
With Carretera mágica, Juan Belda & The Bit Band continue their journey through a musical territory where genres dissolve and direction emerges from collective exploration. Although its language can loosely evoke the broad landscape of jazz rock, the album ultimately resists precise categorization. Instead, it unfolds as an open musical route shaped by interplay, texture and evolving momentum.
The core ensemble once again features Jorge Pardo, Juanjo Ortí and Enrico Barbaro, joined by collaborat…
Drukqs
Twenty-five years on, Warp returns Aphex Twin's Drukqs to physical formats. Thirty tracks across a hundred minutes: prepared piano miniatures, drill'n'bass with the brakes cut, musique concrète, a voicemail from his parents. The last gap in the vinyl discography, closed.
Look Mom No Head!
On Look Mom No Head!, The Cramps double down on their psychobilly sleaze, tossing rockabilly, garage punk and B‑movie kink into a Hollywood acid bath. Lux Interior and Poison Ivy steer 14 songs of gutter glamour and mutant bravado that sound like a jukebox possessed in a roadside strip club at the end of the world.
Music to Freak your Friends and Break your Lease
2026 stock. It is genuinely difficult to place Rod McKuen anywhere in the twentieth century. He read alongside Kerouac and Ginsberg at the Jazz Cellar in San Francisco in the early 1950s, sang with Lionel Hampton's band, worked as a contract player at Universal, and cut the beat-poetry record Beatsville for HiFi Records in 1959. The early 1960s took him to France, where his encounter with Jacques Brel produced the English versions of Ne me quitte pas and Le Moribond that entered the language as …
Clouds
If you don't know 'Clouds' then, quite naturally, you'd have to be living underground. The work of Venetian composer Gigi Masin went mostly ignored until Music From Memory's early-2010s reissue campaign pulled him and his ingenious ambient works out of the murk, among which many salvages include his now calling-card, 'Clouds'. Re-pressed astonishingly through P-Vine of all labels, this soul-quelling masterwork - first recorded in 1989 for a split release with Charles Hayward and mostly forgotten…
The Nar Mattaru Curses
For almost four decades, MZ.412 have forged some of the most uncompromising ritual industrial and dark ambient soundscapes the world has ever known. "The Nar Mattaru Curses" gathers obscure recordings from their whole career including previously unreleased or buried tracks, recorded between 1989 and 2017 in the legendary Nar Mattaru studio. Raw hymns of apocalyptic industrialism, occult malevolence, and crushing sonic sorcery that never made the original albums. An essential transmission for dev…

Disc is translucent colored vinyl with the image of Okinawa's ocean.A charming set of double transformations on this 7 inch. “Kajyadhi Fu Bushi” is a traditional Ryukyu minyo (Okinawa folk song), a joyous celebratory classic which is usually sung at weddings, with lyrics describing how “beautiful buds unfold”, using the distinctive Ryukyu/Okinanwa pentatonic scale.
