Barricade 3
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* Restocked!!! ZNR was the French duo of Hector Zazou and Joseph Racaille (hence, Zazou 'n' Racaille) active in the mid to late '70s. Their 1976 debut, Barricade 3, is an anti-pop masterpiece that truly defies categorization; it makes perfect sense that ZNR appears on the infamous Nurse With Wound list. Featuring an array of seemingly dichotomous instruments (piano, synthes…
Albert Marcœur
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* Albert Marcœur is aptly described as ‘the genius of French avant-garde rock’. He studied clarinet in earnest at the Conservatoire, and with a unique formation of four wind players, his debut album establishes a one-of-a-kind world with a sense of humour and a sound like a toy box turned upside down, but the songs are backed by precise arrangements and playing ability. Def…
Album À Colorier
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* Originally released in 1976 and remastered in 2002, Album à colorier by Tonton Marcœur is vibrant with a mix of instruments like clarinets, trumpets, and guitars. The album reflects a childlike wonder, featuring emotional storytelling and surprising vocal shifts. It’s both touching and unsettling, showcasing Marcœur’s unique blend of poetry and eccentricity. The reissue h…
Armes & Cycles
*Comes in a CD-sized papersleeve album replica (gatefold), with obi-strip and insert of notes mostly in Japanese..2024 stock* On "Armes & Cycles," his last album of the wild seventies before a long hiatus, Albert Marcoeur remains meticulous in detail. He strikes a perfect balance between the exuberance of his debut and the lyrical redundancy of his second album. While still maintaining the song format, instrumental parts, especially those by guitarist François Ovide, are highlighted. The album s…
Celui Où Y'A Joseph

Scorpion?
*80 copies limited edition* Dreamy music and visuals sampled and reorganized from found videotapes and memories. Sometimes more ambient and droney, other times banging and feverlike. Often hissing and repeating, visually glitching and sliding. Memory Dreams feels good tiiät sie!?
Tradition
Japanese acid pop outfit Cho Co Pa Co Cho Co Quin Quin channel the globe-trotting spirit of Haruomi Hosono’s 1970s tropical psychedelia on debut album, Tradition
Festareilla
*70 copies limited edition* Two documents of Avarus in live action, at two legendary festivals. First we witness the group at Avanto in Helsinki 2007, close to the peak of their caveman "rock" era, road-tested on several extensive tours in Europe and USA. After a lengthy vocal/electronics intro, the band chases the ghost of early Ash Ra Tempel down the hillside and inevitably off the cliff, in a Wile E. Coyote style. Ideas, both good and bad, are thrown around with almost reckless abandon.

Manual of the Bayonet
"Manual of the Bayonet is hopefully just the first volume of archival recordings by this most excellent destructo-unit from the Pacific Northwest. The material here was recorded in Portland OR, between the years of 1999 and 2001, with some combination of ten members participating in the sessions. We always viewed Jackie-O Motherfucker as the West Coast version of free-rock collectives like NYC's No Neck Blues Band and Boston's Sunburned Hand of the Man. JOMF emerged from the Smegma-damaged wing …
