Euphoric Attempts
«While focusing on the current conditions we find ourselves in and bracing for what seems like the collapse of humanity, I made this collection of music in an attempt to ignite the essential remnants of my inner euphoria, and perhaps yours too» - Feldermelder

Top! This is a collection of the treasured recordings of Annon, a band formed in Osaka in 1979 by Toshiji Mikawa (Hijokaidan, Incapacitants, etc.) and Naoto Hayashi (Auschwitz).

Lilac Angels
Lilac Angels was a German krautrock band active in the seventies. Made up of friends of NEU! and La Dusseldorf frontman Klaus Dinger, who also co-produced and their debut album, released on his record label 'Dingerland'. However, it was a relative commercial failure and Dinger had pressed three times as many copies as he meant to. Dinger became bankrupt and as a result founded La Dusseldorf in a last gasp attempt at succes. La D. got #3 on the German music charts for their debut single and Lilac…

Trip Flip Out Meditation
First ever CD reissue of one of the most extreme Krautrock-era albums ever made. Originally released by Philips Germany in 1970, the triple LP edition came in an elaborate 'mirror' sleeve and has been near-impossible to find for 35+ years; there have been a handful of suggested reissues over the years, but finally Captain Trip has brought it to fruition, in collaboration with founding member Suzanne Doucet. Incredible fold out packaging emulates the original, with front embossing and silver-foil…
Xylowave 2010 / Amplifaction II
The Haters are a noise and conceptual art troupe from the US, headed by GX Jupitter-Larsen. Founded in 1979, they are one of the earliest and best-known acts in the modern noise scene. Hal Hutchinson (Pollutive Static) has previously released several of his scrap metal sound recordings on labels such as Freak Animal Records, Unrest Productions, and in the last couple of years, he has moved to incorporate analogue synthesizers, field recordings and other elements into his work.

Clinamen
Limited edition of 111 physical copies with handmade 12" cover, 16-page 8" booklet, "fake" 12" vinyl and download code. The concept of ‘clinamen’ comes from Lucretius’s ‘On the nature of the universe’, and describes the swerve of the atoms from their original straight course. Such deviation generates collisions, and allows changes in the relationship between elements. Using the metaphor of clinamen, the album recalls the idea of invention as the result of a diversion from consolidated methodolog…
Il Bisbetico Domato
The dear departed Detto Mariano wrote a very enjoyable comment, based on a love theme, that he retakes with pleasant instrumental variations alternated to funny tracks. The opening credits are introduced by the dance song “Step on dynamite” by “Clown”, which we will find later in two alternatives instrumental takes, and “La pigiatura”, performed by the choir with Patrizia Tapparelli, Mariano Perrella and Simona Aloisi. This latter track is the theme of the main movie scene, in which Elia dances …
La Strega In Amore
An ancient Roman house holds a terrible secret. Dust, old books and a morbid and veiled eroticism. Before devoting his career to the so-called cinema civile (political cinema), Damiano Damiani directed his most obscure and mysterious film, a jewel of the contemporary Italian Gothic style. Based on the short novel 'Aura' by Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes, the film is enhanced by the interpretations of the very sensual Rosanna Schiaffino and a young Gian Maria Volonté during the years of his debut …

Osmose
Reissue of the 1970 krautrock classic. The timing was right: Five years earlier would have been too early, five years later would have been too late. But Annexus Quam from Kamp-Lintfort near Düsseldorf came along with the right music at the right moment. The seven-piece band formed in 1967 as Ambition Of Music; they were what was then called a "beat group." In 1970, working with a local trombone choir led to a dramatic change of direction. Trombone, clarinet, saxophone, scat-like vocals, various…

Poder Del Alma
Psychedelic Latin-funk holy grail from Nicaragua, 1974!! First ever reissue!! Poder del Alma (“Soul Power”) was a supergroup formed by some of the best musicians from the Nica scene. This all-star band of nine members was assembled to play at the famous free concert of Santana in Managua in benefit for the 1972 earthquake. After that successful gig supporting the Latin-Rock superstar, what was to be a one-night stand became the seed of the most loved Nicaraguan act from the 70s. All the members …
Poder Del Alma II
Impossible to find second album by this band from Nicaragua, 1975. A cool mix of Latin funk, jazz, salsa and psychedelic grooves. Including some of their most sought after tracks like “Bacanal’ 76”, “Mimo” or the antiracist statement “La Conga de las Dos Razas”. After recording their first LP in Guatemala, Nica supergroup Poder del Alma travelled to Costa Rica to register their second album.

Chronology (Live 1968-69)
Unreleased work from alto genius Joe Harriott – two different slices of material from a very under-recorded point in his career! The first five tracks feature Joe in that back to basics mode he was hitting at the time – working in a unique group that features Kenny Wheeler on trumpet and flugelhorn, Pat Smythe on piano, Ron Mathewson on bass, and Bill Eyden on drums – all players who are very open to modern ideas, but who also keep things on more of a groove here – with only a bit of the freedom…
