Reissues
Non-Linear
Sissy Spacek’s Non-Linear detonates the idea of narrative from within, stitching decades of raw sessions and volatile improvisations into a panoramic fever-dream. Restlessly shape-shifting, the album spirals through states of collapse and acceleration, refusing to settle - a radical archive of noise at its most ungovernable.
The Grand Guignol
First ever vinyl issue for the 1993 Death Industrial underground classic. Schloss Tegal's The Grand Guignol threads horror’s darkest rituals into a tapestry of sinister atmospheres and forensic sound design. With a palette favoring unease over spectacle, this album excavates the uncanny from the archives of fear, offering a study in slow-burning psychological disturbance that never settles for easy resolution.
Robin Diamond's Lungs
An act of concentration rendered explosive, Debt of Nature’s Robin Diamond’s Lungs lunges at complacency, fusing short-form assaults with caustic wit. The album is a lungful of serrated textures, stuttering rhythms, and a throughline of existential urgency, driving headlong into the contours of disillusion and revolt.
Appearance/Music for Solo Performer
Big tip! Beyond Rare! These historical recordings of a 1967 concert at Hope College in Michigan involving John Cage, Toshi Ichiyanagi and David Tudor, performing compositions by Ichiyanagi and Alvin Lucier, were recently discovered in an archive in Japan. The Lucier piece, "Music for Solo Performer", was the first musical composition to utilize human brainwaves; this 1967 performance, released here for the first time, is an early realization of the piece, featuring Tudor, Ichiyanagi and Lowell C…
Cybernetic Defiance and Orgasm
This anthology is the second compilation from EM Records of the works of the late Henry Kawahara, a media artist and electronic music producer who was particularly active in the Japanese cyber-occult underground of the 1990s, a scene linked with technologies such as 3D (binaural) recordings, brain machines, sound chairs, computer graphics and compact discs.
These tracks, produced 1990-95, include a series of recordings described as "Parallel Data Sounds" and "Sound LSD", a "new language system t…

Bump Lam Phloen: Essential Hongthong Dao-udon
How can we explain the power of music? How can songs delivered in a language which we don't understand move us so? This collection contains the very best songs from Hongthong Dao-udon, one of the great Thai singers of the "third generation" of Molam singers, one of the artists who succeeded in fusing Molam with Luk Thung, thus triggering a new generation of singers; in fact she was the first to sing both genres from the beginning of her career, considering herself to be situated happily between …
Quarteto Em Cy
Originally released in 1972 on the Odeon label, Quarteto Em Cy stands as a high-water mark in the group’s prolific discography—and a hidden gem for collectors of Brazilian vinyl. Known for their intricate vocal harmonies and deep roots in the bossa nova movement, the quartet ventures into post-bossa territory here, where sophistication meets groove in all the right ways.Arrangements by Edu Lobo and Luiz Eça (of Tamba Trio) lend the album a richly layered sound—elegant, jazzy, and emotionally res…
¿crees Que Soy Sexy? / El Travoltoso
Once again, Peru manages to surprise us. From the heights of the Andes come two incredible recordings that show how local folklore has embraced international hits—resulting in fun, unexpected fusions with adistinct Andean twist. ‘Do You Think I’m Sexy?’, Rod Stewart’s 1978 classic, is transformed into a powerfulhuayno anthem—complete with driving percussion and bold brass that almost echo the sound of a New Orleans street parade. Raw, energetic, and unmistakably Andean. On the flip side, we find…
Nude per l'assassino
Tip! Tip! Tip! We are incredibly excited to announce a landmark discovery and upcoming release that will be a must-have for collectors and fans of Italian film scores. After decades of being considered a lost artifact, the original soundtrack for the iconic 1975 giallo film, Nude per l'assassino (Strip Nude for Your Killer), has been found.

Renowned as the guitarist of the legendary band Hachimitsu Pie, Honda’s work on the album Silence is widely celebrated as one of the most remarkable achievements in Japanese ambient guitar jazz.

Off the wall
The long-awaited and reissue of Wada's 1985 LP "Off The Wall", recorded in Berlin and originally released on the esteemed FMP label. A minimalist yet majestic monsterpiece ("massive", as Tom Johnson declares in his perceptive liner notes), "Off The Wall" features Wada and Wayne Hankin on bagpipes, Marilyn Bogerd on adapted organ, and percussionist Andreas Schmidt-Neri.
The original album consisted of two side-long pieces recorded on successive days by Jost Geber, who captured the power and dynam…
Earth Horns With Electronic Drone
Yoshi Wada and EM Records presents the first-ever, world-premiere release of Earth Horns With Electronic Drone, recorded live in 1974. Combining four of Wada's self-made "pipehorns" (made from plumbing materials, over three meters in length), with an electronic drone tuned to the electrical current of the performance space, this is a lost masterpiece of early minimalism, placing Wada rightfully in the pantheon with La Monte Young, Phill Niblock, Maryanne Amacher and Alvin Lucier. Recorded live i…
Singing in Unison
"Singing in Unison" is the final in a series of recordings from acclaimed sound artist, composer and performer Yoshi Wada. Recorded live over two nights, March 14 and 15, in 1978, at New York City's legendary performance space The Kitchen, "Singing in Unison" is a dramatic yet meditative work: modal improvisations for three male voices, singing, with great gravitas, in purposeful unison.
These previously unreleased recordings, featuring vocalists Richard Hayman (aka R.I.P Hayman), Imani Smith an…
Never Forget Me
Never Forget Me is the second release on EM Records from Angkanang Kunchai, one of the greatest Thai singers; the original 1979 vinyl release, now extremely rare, was a collection of her self-produced songs, backed by her own band. This radically independent stance, though admirable, caused the album to languish in relative obscurity, due to her lack of support from the business masters of the Thai music scene of the time. "Never Forget Me" is a plea to her fans, and although the original album …
Clan Caimán
The music of Clan Caimán is primitive and hypnotic. It is located in the pre-rock era and from there, it proposes a different evolution path for music from the 1950s to present day. Like a different musical development in a parallel timeline. Gamelan, Hawaiian music, surf, exotica, rainforest or aquatic; these elements make up the palette which constructs a mystic and profound music that seeks ancestral connection.
Formed in 2016 by musician, composer and producer Emilio Haro looking to create m…

A Bossa Negra
Released in 1960, this album stands as one of the most powerful stories in Brazilian music. Born into deep poverty in a Rio favela, Elza Soares faced a life marked by unimaginable hardship, forced into marriage at 13, surviving abuse, and enduring the heartbreak of losing three children. Yet she refused to be defined by tragedy. Through sheer strength and talent, she rose to the top of Brazil’s music scene, her voice becoming a symbol of resilience and fire. A Bossa Negra is often hailed as her …
Tiger Rock
Tiger Rock, the electrifying 1972 debut from German power trio Tiger B. Smith, is back on vinyl, ready to captivate a new wave of heavy rock enthusiasts. This record channels the untamed spirit of Hendrix while diving deep into raw, fuzz-drenched kraut-psych soundscapes. At the heart of the album is the nine-minute epic “To Hell,” a relentless storm of driving riffs and pulsing rhythm that boldly captures the band’s wild, fearless edge. Blending swagger with bold experimentation, Tiger Rock offe…

Planet Ilunga presents, in collaboration with the children of Nico Kasanda alias Docteur Nico, an anthology dedicated to African Fiesta Sukisa, available as a 3LP and a digital release (with bonus songs).
