"... it's not about cleaning the music from the non-music or trying to destroy all disturbing noises, but to perceive the music as such, which exists in the midst of the noise of life. The more open the ear is to everything audible, the more strongly the music radiates its speciality. Because a musical instrument has a material body, its sound cannot be frictionless and clean. ..." - From Portrait of a Spinning Top / Portrait eines Kreisels by Yoku Tawada (Berlin)

Dr Tree
Big Tip! In 1971, Dr Tree emerged as a highly innovative jazz-fusion ensemble from Auckland, formed by two of New Zealand's most seasoned session musicians, Frank Gibson Jr. and Murray McNabb - the pair had jammed together since grammar school. Drawing sizable crowds while working the Auckland circuit, the band caught the attention of EMI scout, Alan Galbraith, who wasted no time signing them up for an album. Galbraith, a trained musician and adventurous producer, brought in additional support f…

His 1973 MPS album, Wide Open, remained unissued since the '70s – this first ever all-analogue 45 7" single features the two brassy big-band funk highlights from the LP – 'Babo' …
J.B.W. / Soft Hands Had The Rain
Bora Rokovic's MPS album, Ultra Native, is one of the most elusive titles in the catalogue and, until now, remained unissued since its original release in 1971. Inzalaco's 'J.B.W.' is a hard-grooving fusion piece with dark minor chords, opening with an almighty drum break – found here in a new all-analogue mastertape edit for this 45 release. 'Soft Hands Had the Rain' features Trunk strutting his stuff on Fender bass, as well as cello overdubs, with Rokovic's brooding improvisations on electric …

End Of Time KM-53 Project Vol.2
Untethered Mind Warps Sound Time-Space. The bear, code-named KM-53, passed away in June 2023. Unlike other Asiatic black bears, which Koreans refer to by ‘bandal gasum gom’ or ‘half-moon chest bears,’ KM-53 embarked on a journey of nearly 80 km from its original habitat in its second year of life, tirelessly moving through the backbone of South Korea's major mountain range. He could not confine himself to the assigned territory. Wild or not, we are all children of nature. Whether successful or n…
