Celestial Ocean
*2026 repress* 1973s brilliant Celestial Ocean, by the legendary Swiss krautrock band Brainticket, is a concept album that details an ancient pharoahs journey into the afterlife (substitute the word "journey" for "trip" and youll get what they were driving at). However, Brainticket were not mere products of their time, they explored some truly compelling musical territory and produced a superlative blanket of sound-featuring a pioneering mix of early synthesizers, flute, zither, sitar, and male …
Electric Sandwich
Electric Sandwich were founded in Bonn in 1967 and played sophisticated progressive rock. Their first gigs were in 1968. At a band competition on 16 October 1971, they shared second place with the Scorpions and impressed so much that they immediately received a contract from Metronome/Brain. The LP, recorded by Dieter Dierks, was released at the end of 1972 (Brain 1018) with an olive-green label. After several illegal reissues (on Germanofon, Hiatus, Ear Ass, Icon, etc.), this legitimate edition…
Frühjahr '76 - Erinnerungen An Klaus
Lindwurm were formed in 1972 in Uelzen and played a somewhat rough-edged progressive rock. The reference to Hanover, which you sometimes come across, is not accurate. Nor should they be confused with the jazz-rock group of the same name from Jork-Moorende on the Lower Elbe (LP Im Windschatten, 1981). In 1976, the much-loved Lindwurm singer and guitarist Klaus Arndt was struck by a car on the motorway and killed. The band dissolved immediately and, in his memory, released an LP that is now pricel…
Live in Arles 1975 (2LP)
Seventh entry in the essential Can live series, and one of the great ones. A hot August night in 1975, the Roman Théâtre Antique in Arles, the core four locked in: Irmin Schmidt, Michael Karoli, Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay. No safety net, just the band stretching out in real time.
For decades this concert lived only in the stories of the people who were there, the recording buried in the Spoon Records vaults. Unearthed at last for its first ever release, with sleeve notes drawn from first-h…

By the Lake Festival
On By the Lake Festival, Faust bottle a singular Berlin afternoon: iconic early pieces - including a choral‑bolstered “Why Don’t You Eat Carrots?” - rendered raw, sun‑bleached and unrepeatable, preserved in a lovingly remastered document that leaves every glorious flaw intact.
Embryo's Rache
**Gatefold black vinyl, remastered** One year on from Opal, the Munich collective threw open a window that would never quite close again. Embryo had announced themselves in 1970 with a debut steeped in dark, psychedelic murk. Embryo's Rache - their second, issued on United Artists in 1971 - is the sound of a band stepping into the light and looking east. Founded by drummer and keyboard player Christian Burchard with multi-instrumentalist Edgar Hofmann, the group here absorbed flutist Hansi Fisch…
Psychogeography
*300 copies limited edition* "A sprawling, meditative journey into inner and outer space, the new double album from Ivan The Tolerable sees Oli Heffernan retreat fully into the solo realm—crafting an expansive sonic world that feels both intimate and cosmic in scope. Recorded entirely alone and released via Riot Season, this latest work drifts away from structured forms and toward something more fluid, exploratory, and transcendent.Drawing on the devotional atmospheres of early ambient pioneers …
Sowiesoso
** 50th anniversary Limited Edition ** The fourth full-length album by legendary German electronic music duo Cluster, originally released on Sky Records in 1976. Sowiesoso follows on from their most highly-acclaimed album, Zuckerzeit (1974). Michael Rother's influence was clearly audible on the latter, Cluster having already recorded two albums with him under the name of Harmonia. 1976 saw the duo looking for new musical forms. More than any other Cluster album, Sowiesoso represents the utopian …

Einsjaeger & Siebenjaeger
Among the most luminous records ever issued by Popol Vuh, and one of the high points in the singular spiritual arc traced by Florian Fricke across more than three decades of work.

Esoteric returns Affenstunde, the 1970 debut of Popol Vuh, to vinyl on July 31st, 2026, freshly cut at AIR Studios in London, with the original cover artwork restored and an accompanying poster. When Florian Fricke brought a Moog III modular synthesiser into a Munich studio in 1970, alongside percussionist Holger Trülzsch and engineer Frank Fiedler, he was working with one of only a handf…
Electronic Meditation
Remastered edition of Tangerine Dream’s classic and legendary debut album ‘Electronic Meditation’. In autumn/winter of 1969 Edgar Froese, founder of Tangerine Dream, met Klaus Schulze and Conrad Schnitzler. This trio formed the line-up of Tangerine Dream to record the debut album Electronic Meditation. The band was supported by two other musicians: Jimmy Jackson (organ) and Thomas Keyserling (flute), but both were mysteriously left out of the credits of the original album. Edgar Froese: "In 1969…
Africa
Africa, originally released in 1992 on Materiali Sonori, may be a late entry in the Embryo catalog but it is one of their most ambitious and truly progressive albums to date. As the name implies, the Munich group not only draws influence from the continent to their south, but also employs an African percussion ensemble on many tracks.

Korb IV
"Korb members Jonathan Parkes and Alec Wood have formed a prolific partnership over recent years, building up a catalogue of recordings on their own Dreamlord Recordings label under various aliases, including The Hologram People, whose Village of the Snake God on Library of the Occult remains a high point. Here the duo shifts it's attentions towards the world of Kosmische music and bubbling synths, global grooves and analogue soundscapes, all delivered so effortlessly it's hard not to fall for t…
Electronic Meditation For Inner Space Travel
Like all Studio Kosmische records, Electronic Meditation for Inner Space Travel is less a collection of tracks than a single, unbroken experience. It flows with purpose, every note a step in a silent procession toward understanding.
There’s no urgency, no climax, just a graceful surrender to the unknown. When it ends, the world feels quieter, your thoughts slower, the air lighter. This one’s a record to play deep into the night, when the sky outside your window looks almost purple and the world …
Cara Maluco
Osees return with a four-track EP recorded last year in Tornio, TX. A couple fried trippers and couple tight dance punk numbers. Crazy face indeed.
Symbols
*300 copies limited edition* Once mainly something that existed in a live setting, the group drifts further into its own orbit with a second collection of songs. What began as a collaboration between two voices now expands with the presence of a third, adding new layers that sometimes verge on something almost familiar. The work continues to explore a method that feels less like collecting from the outside and more like rearranging from within. Fragments are taken apart and reassembled: rhythms,…
