A Thing Made Whole
In music, we don't tend to talk about things. We're too concerned about the meaning of the story, about the dynamics of the performance, the reception, the syntax, the gesture, the movement; we're too concerned about how a sound got here, where it came from, how it was made, where it's going and why. We pretend that music is a language. Greenwald asks us to get busy with things. About a minute's worth of material becomes a cycle of seven works, performed in full for the first time on this album …

Nippon Guitars (Instrumental Surf, Eleki & Tsugaru Rock 1966-1974)
Legendary is a word too often used when writing about musicians. Takeshi Terauchi is no myth, more an elemental force and surely a nominee for the status of Living National Treasure – a first for a rock musician in Japan. While not exactly well known in the West, he has received praise over the years from artists as diverse as the Ventures and Jello BiafraYou don’t want to mess with Terry, as he is commonly known. An 8th Dan of the Wado school of Karate and a Zen master of the Zuiganji temple, h…

It is a few minutes after ten-thirty on Monday evening, February 17, 1969, in Ronnie Scott’s, 47 Frith Street London W I.
On this particular Monday at Ronnie’s something special is about to happen. A new attraction is to begin a two-week engagement at the club, and this attraction is out of the ordinary. The word has got around, from people who have seen one of the concerts which preceded this opening and others who know the band from records or foreign festivals, that this is a team not to be m…

Operation
Reissue of the second record from this legendary Berlin krautrock band on the original Ohr label. Produced by the well-known photographer Didi Zill in Hansa Studios in 1971.

Monólogos A Dois
**Limited edition of 100 copies** “I am not sure if with the double bass there are various types, like with the guitar, but none is mentioned on the cover or the fact if this is a mono recording. The latter probably not. It was recorded in the spacious surrounding of the old church in Oud-Charlois, which is a part of Rotterdam and home to a few great concerts, some of these involving the church organ housed there. Goncalo Almeida stuck to his bass. We know him for his one-off collaboration with …
Shibboleth
CD+Book, art edition Original sound installation by Eiki Mori (born 1976 in Ishikawa, Japan). A horn speaker, used to send small sounds far away, will emit whispers of various voices that read Mori’s poems in multiple languages. In the galley space, these voices shall sound nostalgic but at the same time be felt as if they are heard for the first-time, coming from somewhere around the globe. The 15 shibboleths written down for this installation do not really stand for symbolic things or events…

Wetland
**300 copies. The leaves assembled on the CD package were collected around the pond where the recording was made.** As in Eisuke Yanagisawa's own words: I set the recorder on the shore and collected it the following day. At midnight, the growling of animals (which turned out to be the sound of bullfrogs, an alien species) reverberated around the pond. Mizorogaike, which consists of a pond and a wetland, is located on the northern edge of the Kyoto Basin. Many aquatic plants, insects, fish, wild …
Shards of Distant Times
Italian sound artist Giulio Aldinucci returns with his third album on Karlrecords: "Shards of Distant Times" is again a truly masterfully composed and sound-designed ambient masterpiece and a more than worthy follow-up to the critically acclaimed "Borders and Ruins" (2017) and "Disappearing in a Mirror" (2018) which both made it onto several year's best lists.
Don't Drown
A meeting of two mavericks - Greg Malcolm, a guitarist from New Zealand who has played with Rosy Parlane, Toshimaru Nakamura, Tetuzi Akiyama and Bruce Russell, as well as solo releases on his own label Corpus Hermeticum, and Stefan Neville aka Pumice - a long-running, endlessly inventive project whose shambolic music is equally reminiscent of Kiwi pop groups such as The Clean and Tall Dwarfs as well as the country's experimental noise-rock bands like the Dead C. "Who would attempt to combine cun…
Hattie Cooke
*In process of stocking.* Third Kind Records release Hattie Cooke's debut album anew on 180g white vinyl. We originally released this on cassette in 2016 and it quickly became a sought-after fan favourite as well as our most requested vinyl reissue.

Dear Jean Pierre (Book)
Filled with artworks, photos, and memorabilia, this epistolary portrait depicts Wojnarowicz's development as a writer and artist via his heartfelt letters to his Parisian lover.
Safe and Sane
Outrageous. Rabid. Explosive. #Wtf? Whatever words you throw at Borbetomagus saxophonist Jim Sauter and Oneida / Man Forever drummer Kid Millions, they’ll chomp ‘em up and respond with a gargantuan roar to erase all notions of what a horn and skins can do. The duo’s prior albums were built of tightly, clustered bursts and barbed assaults. On Safe & Sane, Sauter and Millions eschew brevity for ultra-endurance. The opening “Chrysanthemum,” clocks in at 32 minutes and continues on Side B before a f…
