Runt Vigor
Audrey Chen's long-awaited new solo album Runt Vigor is an adventurous sonic exploration of the voice, cello and analog electronics. Chen began her relationship with sound through the cello and voice over 30 years ago and in the past 15 years, her predominant focus has been her solo work, joining together the extended and inherent vocabularies of the cello, voice and analog electronics (with all sounds created without electronic effect or enhancement other than amplification). More recently, she…

A philological work, beginning with the original recordings on multi-track master tapes, patiently integrally remastered pa…
The Third Helix
For this third release on Dais, Drew McDowall reaches into concept, ritual, and immersion, in an exercise of unravelling the DNA of hallucination. The Third Helix is McDowall’s product of deconstructive exploration, twisting the fibers of being into new structure, shape, pattern, and pulse, without reconstituting its inscribed template. The result is a true “third act,” in McDowall’s career, that has seen him peregrinate from the late-’70s art-punk of the trio Poems to his work with Psychic TV a…
Radio Wave Surfer
Holger Szukay’s sixth solo LP Radio Wave Surfer gets the reissue treatment courtesy of Groenland Records. Originally released in 1991, Radio Wave Surfer found the late Can bassist coming through with some of his most succinct and immediate work. Cuts such as ‘Weird Dreams’ and ‘Get It Sweet’ streamlined Szukay’s experimental tendencies in order to create lean Krautrock vignettes that still pack a heady psychedelic punch. Funnily enough for such a focussed listen, many of the tracks on Radio Wave…
Rome Remains Rome
The 5th solo album by Holger Czukay, ‘Rome Remains Rome’ bubbles up for its 30th anniversary reissue on Gronland - bastion of all things good and Krautrock. Arriving after a string of total classics such as ‘Movies’ and ‘Full Circle’’, and before his ambient outings with David Sylvian, 1987’s ‘Rome Remains Rome’ is a typically, lysegically playful and odd collection of songs tripping lines between pop, jazz and the avant-garde.Make sure to check it for Holger’s possessed vocals on the psychedeli…
Ronda
"Brilliant, inspired and somewhat surprising collaboration between
Chicago's premier free-rock trio and the truly legendary percussionist, Hamid Drake, who has played with everyone from Don Cherry to Peter Brötzmann to Lee Perry. This collusion was precipitated by Matt Jackowiak,
a mutual friend, who thought a merging of their sounds might make for
an ecstatic explosion. This feeling became mutual after they played a
show together at Constellation. The set mixes Mako Sica tunes with improvis…
In My Own Time
Recorded over a six month period in 1970/71 at Bearsville, In My Own Time was Karen Dalton's only fully planned and realized studio album. The material was carefully selected and crafted for her by producer/musician Harvey Brooks, the Renaissance man of rock-jazz who played bass on Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited and Miles’ Bitches Brew. It features ten songs that reflected Dalton's incredible ability to break just about anybodys heart – from her spectral evocation of Joe Tates “One Night of Love”,…

2014 Release. Light In The Attic and the legendary folk/blues/roots label Vanguard Records are proud to begin a series of collaborations under the umbrella Vanguard Vault. The series will explore the vaults of Vanguard and see the reissuing of obscure nuggets, psychedelic weirdness and just some good old-fashioned seminal music.Originally released in 1968 on Vanguard Records, Peter Walker’s album “Second Poem To Karmela” Or Gypsies Are Important was a ground breaking blend of folk, raga, psyche…
The Microcosm: Visionary Music of Continental Europe, 1970-1986
The follow up to Light In The Attic’s game-changing I Am The Center box set is finally here. The Microcosm: Visionary Music Of Continental Europe, 1970-1986 is the first major overview of key works from cosmically-taped in artists needing little introduction — Vangelis, Ash Ra Tempel, and Popol Vuh — and unknown masterpieces by criminally overlooked heroes like Bernard Xolotl, Robert Julian Horky and Enno Velthuys. Whereas I Am The Center called for a reconsideration of an entire maligned genre…
1966
Karen Dalton was a remote, elusive creature. A hybrid of tough and tender with an unearthly voice that seemed to embody a time long past. As is often the case with such fragile beings, she instinctively understood that the only way to survive the harshness of the world around her, was to keep herself hidden. So it comes as no great surprise that she rarely sang in public or ventured into the unnatural setting of a recording studio. Only twice, for 1969’s It’s So Hard To Tell Who’s Going To Love …
Harumi
Wow what a find! One of the trippiest albums recorded for Verve in the 60s -- a unique 2LP set by Japanese psyche artist Harumi -- and a record that stands proudly next to the best by Zappa or the Velvets at the time! Originally released in 1968, Harumi is a classic double album of obscure Japan meets Greenwich Village psych with legendary producer Tom Wilson at the helm, desperately trying to reign in the talents of this enigmatic Japanese artist on the outer fringes of an East/West freak out. …

Acaricia La Manana
180-gram LP with bonus 7". Eduardo Polonio has been one of the key figures of Spanish music since the late 1960s, especially as a pioneer in the field of electroacoustic music. He was a member, with Luis de Pablo and Horacio Vaggione, of Grupo Alea Electrónica Libre (1970-1972), the first Spanish group to play electronic music live, and he has been one of the main figures of Barcelona's Laboratorio Phonos studio since 1976. He was also a founding member and president, between 1988 and 1994, of S…
