Demon Box
*2023 stock* "The Trondheim band’s third release marked them as weirdos to watch in 1993. An ambitious, eclectic double album, it saw them transition from a run-of-the-mill grunge outfit into progressive magpies willing to throw everything into the pot. Demon Box remains a curious, conflicted and contradictory affair, lurching almost randomly from creepy folk to pounding metal to the left-field sonics of then-member Deathprod. To love it requires strenuous effort, and the splurge of uninspired m…

Salad Days Vol. 1
Tip! *2023 stock* If there's one thing the fans have been craving for when it comes to catalogue re-issues, this is surely it. It's simply incomprehensible that early Motorpsycho releases (except Demon Box) haven't been available on vinyl since they first came out some 30 years ago. Salad Days vol. 1 includes the following titles, with all artwork recreated by Håvard Gjelseth from the very best available original sources and the music remastered by Helge Sten from the original tapes where these…
L'Immagine Del Suono
Big Tip! Joel Vandroogenbroeck was an arranger, conductor, producer and, above all, a unique multi-instrumentalist in the world of music. The Belgian artist was also famous for being the only permanent member of the group Brainticket and the main promoter of its creativity, often renewed with the contribution of exotic instruments. At the dawn of the Seventies, this versatile musician began a parallel life as a composer of singular music libraries tailored to comment documentary images. “L'Immag…
Lorca
Limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on 180gr. silver coloured vinyl. Tim Buckley released his fifth studio album Lorca in 1970 on Elektra Records and was one of Buckley's few avant-garde albums. The album is a journey into the mind of Buckley while he discovered new ground. He used a more abstract descriptive writing style, avoiding direct narratives and standard song themes. It was a reflection of the works of Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, hence the album title. Buckley w…
Heavenly Persona
Few artists have left behind a legacy as enigmatic and captivating as Shizuka Miura. Amidst the Tokyo underground, she was a spectral figure, creating ghostly, childlike dolls and writing haunting, other worldly songs. She formed Shizuka in 1992 with Maki Miura, known for his staggering guitar work in legendary groups Fushitsusha and Les Rallizes Dénudés. Their music bloomed with a fragile, yet explosive mystical power; an atmospheric alchemy of psychedelic rock, folk and noise with Shizuka’s et…

1984
* 2022 Stock. Collector's Edition. One time pressing. Red Vinyl * Bassist/composer Hugh Hopper (of Soft Machine fame) has been involved in many projects during his more than 40 years in music. 1984, originally released in 1973, & his first solo release, remains perhaps his most singular. This combines Hugh's unique fuzz bass & compositions with tape work, multiple overdubs, & a very avant esthetic & then contrasts those works with short, weirdly devolved James Brown-inspired pieces. Nearly 50 ye…
Suono In Un Tempo Trasfigurato
Infinite reveries or translucent hallucinations, calm and steady pace, ghostly but undeniably present: this is ‘Suono In Un Tempo Trasfigurato’, Bono / Burattini’s debut for Maple Death.

Broken Saxophones
Dominique Grimaud was a member of an historical French underground group called Camizole. This group of mainly self-taught musicians started in the seventies as a vocal ensemble progressively introducing a growing number of instruments that gave them the possibility to create an unique anarchic musical chaos. Their original sound could be juxtaposed with Faust , Lard Free or even Urban Sax . Well, you will find the original spirit of Camizole in this work. The title “Broken Saxophones” gives yo…
The Liquified Throne Of Simplicity
The Slovenian "imaginary folk" trio's most epic and transportive album yet. Powered by acoustic and often handmade instruments, these expansive compositions echo the borderless, collective spirit of groups like Don Cherry's Organic Music Society and Art Ensemble of Chicago
Harps of the Ancient Temples
2022 Repress Very often, the greatest artists just don’t fit. They stand out there on their own, and fall in strange, unexpected zones, often occupied only by themselves. This is was certainly the case for the American harpist, Gail Laughton, who’s lone, the 1969 LP, Harps of the Ancient Temples - long championed and hunted by record collectors - is finally receiving the vinyl reissue treatment after roughly a half century out of print. A truly stunning and visionary piece of work with almost no…
The Velvet Underground & Nico (LP)
2022 Reissue. Gatefold sleeve with original real peelable banana design. Over Half a century later, this record still slays; if any album is deserving of the "classic" tag, it's The Velvet Underground & Nico. Lou Reed's affected vocals, Nico's female Lugosi-style recitations, John Cale's droning strings, Moe Tucker's minimal kit - this landmark work laid down paths that musicians today are still trying to follow. Just pick any track: "I'm Waiting For The Man," "Sunday Morning," "Venus In Furs," …
Eat Meat, Swear an Oath
A dreamlike dispatch from mid-80's Japan, the first and only Hallelujahs album is an entrancing and gentle work of psychedelic pop brilliance. In a series of informal studio sessions between 1985 and 1986, Shinji Shibayama (Nagisa Ni Te) gathered a group of friends, emerging luminaries from the burgeoning Kansai underground rock scene including Naoki Zushi (Hijokaidan, Spiral Stairs / 螺旋階段), Ken Ichi "Idiot" Takayama (Idiot O'Clock) and Chie Mukai (Ché-SHIZU) to form what would become known as H…
'77 Live
Temporal Drift presents the first-ever officially sanctioned reissue of celebrated Japanese cult band Les Rallizes Dénudés’ three albums, originally compiled and released in limited quantities on CD in 1991. Led by the enigmatic Takashi Mizutani, Les Rallizes Dénudés has gained an almost mythical status the world over with their delicate balancing act between transcendent psychedelia and pure sonic assault, maintaining its status as an underground phenomenon throughout their three decade existen…
Session and Live in Tokyo
* Edition of 70 copies.* Formed in Ikebukuro (Tokyo) in 2012 Joseph of Kirezi has been roaming the outermost corners of the black clad psychedelic underground ever since. Amorphous visions of insanely loud guitars smeared all over a distorted obsidian night sky.
Dedicato A ...
** Official Reissue. 500 copies. Clear purple vinyl reissue with inner 8-page booklet and silver-foiled gatefold cover ** A legendary short-living band founded in Rome by guitarist Urbano Orlandi and collected together by visual artist and movie-maker Mario Schifano, who was for Le Stelle what was Andy Warhol for The Velvet Underground. "Dedicato a..." is probably among the most wanted, rare and expensive italian vinyl album of any time. It was released in 1967, it mixes improvvisation, medieval…
Tracks and Traces
* Much-needed 2022 repress **A true Krautrock classic from the archives. In 1976 Brian Eno visited Harmonia's studio in the Weserbergland region of northern Germany to create what would become one of the most cherished artifacts of the genre on 'Tracks and Traces'. Harmonia comprised of multi instrumentalists Hans Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Mobius (also known as Cluster) with former Kraftwerk and Neu member, Michael Rother, and together with the like-minded synth maestro Eno they created twelv…
Boulder Blues
*In process of stocking* "Every album from the band, whose core members currently reside in the UK and Israel, feels like an invitation into a space outside the mundane. When playing live, visuals from Danil Gertman, drawn and projected in real time, are an intrinsic part of their performance. Like those visuals’ movement from amorphous constellations of colour into concrete characters and landscapes, Staraya Derevnya swing from flurries of abstract folk sounds into propulsive, swampy grooves. I…
