Albero Specchio
Metzergenstein’s music is some kind of shamanic black mass, with krautrock influences and a general opiate-flavored atmosphere. In this vinyl debut, firstly available on cassette, you can hear sounds ranging from space rock to Popol Vuh, but the overall sensation is one of a music that is really difficult to define. From the label press release "strong ritual characterization and with a fascination for a kind of ancestral magnetism that draws from a mythological alphabet, older than th…

Deadly Weapons
Recent digipack CD reissue "This collective of jazz improv weirdoes banded together for a one-off in 1986 to riff on the deep vibe of all things French and cinematic. Backing vocalist Toni Marshall, Zorn, Beresford, and Toop created a virtual and highly experimental film noir soundtrack to a movie that perhaps existed in the mind of Jean-Luc Godard in the 1950s, but was never made. David Toop is clearly the sonic architect here, haunting the proceedings with his deep use of effects, subdued perc…
The Complete Remastered Recordings on Black Saint & Soul Note 10
A wonderful run of music from the great Steve Lacy – all of the larger group recordings done for the Black Saint/Soul Note label – nearly 20 years of really inventive albums! Lacy's solo and smaller group material were already collected in another excellent box in this series – but this collection shows Steve stepping out in a mode that's not nearly as well-represented on other labels – some of his more intense, complicated efforts – done with both familiar associates, and some surprising choice…

Spiritual Jazz 5: The World
Double LP version housed in a thick, embossed gatefold sleeve. Subtitle: Esoteric, Modal and Deep Jazz from Around the World, 1961-79. Until it was swept aside by the pop explosion of the 1960s, jazz was the most popular modern sound on earth. From the New World and the Caribbean to Africa, across the Soviet Bloc and the British Empire to the Far East, jazz music was embraced, adopted, played and enjoyed. Having examined spiritual jazz as it was expressed in the U.S., and followed its mess…
Dai Primitivi all'Elettronica
MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!!!! An outstanding raga-like drone CD with a distinctive cosmic vibe, Futuro Antico was born for a brief, blissed moment of communal cross-cultural levitation, a collaboration between the two italian Walter Maioli (Aktuala), Riccardo Sinigaglia (who'd go on to form Recommended Records recording artists The Doubling Riders)and Gabin Dabirè (from Burkina Faso). The synthesis between ancient, ethnic and analog electronic music is just perfect, the minimalist repetition with slight…
Futuro Antico
Finally repressed on CD this obscure gem of the italian project Futuro Antico, released just on tape in 1980, this record contains the hypnotic session of Walter Maioli (Aktuala) and Riccardo Sinigaglia. Analog and warm sounds, a perfect mix of drone synth and ancient flutes (found in oriental countries) gives you the idea to fly on a spaceship towards some exotic sites. This recor terribly remember the astonishing live Köln jam of Terry Riley and Don Cherry, the comparison fits! Limited edition…
Red Bird: A Political Prisoner's Dream
A milestone!!

Die Electric Eels
Cleveland's electric eels (all lower case in homage to poet e.e. cummings) is America's quintessential proto-punk band. Formed in 1972 by singer Dave E. McManus and guitarists John Morton and Brian McMahon, the group enlisted drummer Nick Knox (later of The Cramps) and producer Paul Marotta to record a flurry of catchy and genuinely fucked-up tunes. After only five legendary live performances – complete with Dave E. in black leather jacket covered in rat-traps and playing a gas-powered lawnmower…

Eroina
There are still so many treasures to be discovered out there, but once you find a gem like this you can definitely put the research on hold for a little while and give it a deep listen. Recorded at Fono Roma in 1971, Eroina is a series of haunting improvisations - each one inspired by the effects of a different drug - made of whirling electronic glitches, skronky horns, pounded piano, funky drums and weird tape experiments delivering the best drone/spaced/drugged out free jazz performed b…
Two pianos and other pieces, 1953-1969
A double CD of music for multiple pianos from what is arguably the most experimental and interesting period of Morton Feldman's development as a composer. Some of the pieces have been very rarely performed or recorded, and have probably never been in better hands. The music featured on these two discs testifies to the intensity of Feldman's experimentation with notation and sound during the 1950s and 60s. Considering the works chronologically one senses the composer trying out, teasing and deve…

Jean-Noël Cognard is a big initiator of projects and collaborations both in the studio and on the stage. With his label, Bloc Thyristors, he documents these musical sparks.

Tribraque, is Jean-François Pauvros (guitars and voice), Patrick Müller (electrosonic), Jean-Noël Cognard (drums & percussion). A surprising trio which e…
