**500 copies** The second release on the Henning Christiansen Archive is a compilation of four works from 1967-1972 including a poem set in a bath, an unknown musical work, the musical backdrop to a horse sacrifice and a soundtrack to a school play.

What separates it them fromsaid tradition is that they were composed by Henning Christiansen.

Opus 67 Strategygetarts A Symphony, Hommage a Richard Demarco
This record is a lie and a failure - a triumph and truth. Such is the condition that Henning Christiansen build across his entire career. One the 20th Century’s most striking and visionary composers - perhaps the most notable of Fluxus’ Danish arm, Christiansen was a radical collectivist as much as an assertive individualist - contradictory and reactionary - possessed by a singular vision which drove him down uncharted paths. Christiansen’s life, with the sprawling body of work it left in its w…

Freude
*2022 Stock.* Freude (Joy, 2nd Hour from Klang) for 2 harps (2005) consists of 24 moments, each linked with a liturgical verse sung by one or both harpists during performance. This piece is one of Stockhausen's most lyrical pieces in the traditional sense, although it is still based on a chromatic tonality.- Stockhausenspace.blogspot.com
Changing Earth
Matthew Halsall has already blessed us with one beautifully conceived EP this year, now with Changing Earth he has shared another perfectly crafted four track mini-album or EP. Where the music on The Temple Within came from the energy around the band's monthly sessions at Yes in Manchester, Changing Earth is a more meditative, spiritual offering:
"I was thinking about climate change and the profound implication of the human race's relationship with nature and the changes we have wrought on our e…
I Know About The Life
*Great spiritual jazz album. Blue Vinyl* Much-needed reissue on vinyl for this classic Jazz album originally recorded in September 1975 at A & R Recording Studios in New York and released in 1977 on Baystate Japan. Charles Greenlee worked extensively throughout his career with Archie Shepp who also participated in the sessions for John Coltrane's A Love Supreme in late 1964. Late in the 1940s he converted to Islam, changing his name to Harneefan Majeed; he continued to use Charles Greenlee for p…
At The Village Gate 1963
The jazz giant Thelonious Monk is here featured in this live recording in New York. Monk is in his best form during this ‘Village Gate’ gig, along with famed session men accompanying him here and forming this solid Quartet - namely, Charlie Rouse on Tenor Saxophone, John Ore on the bass and Frankie Dunlop on the drums. The album features three Monk’s originals (“Rhythm-A-Ning”, “Evidence”, “Jackie-ing”) and two jazz standards (“I’m Getting Sentimental Over You” and the immortal “Body And Soul” …
The Three Faces of Yusef Lateef
Recorded in May 1960 this is probably one of Lateef’s more straight jazz releases with almost no trace of his famous Eastern sound experiments. This is a beautiful and dynamic album based on a balanced mix of originals and standards including great numbers by Dvorak, Ellington and Zawinul and with Lateef who’s literally shining on both tenor sax, oboe and flute. A fine document from a master musician caught during one of the peaks of his career.
El Nutto
Before joining vibraphonist Terry Gibbs’ quartet in 1962, Detroit-born pianist Alice McLeod played intermissions at the Paris Blue Note and appeared on French TV with saxophonist Lucky Thompson, reaching Gibbs’ attention in a duo with vibraphonist Terry Pollard; in the quartet, she became the perfect foil for Gibbs, her understated piano making room for his intense improvisation, stepping up with her own expression when needed. El Nutto, their third LP, captures Alice at her best in this setting…
Continuous Forms
... Cyclic sequences, shapes that change and return to themselves in an endless loop, flashing lights that envelop the perpetual motion of machines in a soft embrace, cascades of notes that change color without our senses knowing, the eternal beating of artificial hearts in metal chests ... Kubusschnitt, born in 1999, is a real electronic-music band in the Berlin School style which, over time, has involved several musicians from the UK, Belgium, Germany and Holland. A Kosmische-musik all-stars b…
Νεκροαστικα
*Limited Edition of 120 copies* A hallucinated vampire woman wanders in an ill-famed square in the city, in a basement, a mad shaman tries to revive a man with macabre botany experiments, gangs of chaos-worshiping thugs challenge each other with machetes in the city center, a teenage party turns into a bloody orgy, a clandestine radio station transmits sound frequencies that drive people crazy ... these and many other oddities you will find in the mysterious cult-movie entitled "Nekroastika", sh…

* Edition of 400, black vinyl * After Dinner from Japan, embraced new wave, traditional Japanese music, free contemporary and avant-garde rock. Founded under hand of delicious female vocalist, musician and composer Haco in 1981, broaching a very interesting collective cohesion; their background, though however various, brought them together during times of recording and live performance.

Mutima
A landmark recording in early creative improvised modern music, bassist Cecil McBee's recording for the Strata East label is an important document introducing him as a leader from the international jazz-based scene in New York City via his native Tulsa, OK and following a brief mid-'60s stint in Detroit. McBee as a pure musician has staggering technique, rich harmonic ideas, and an indefatigable swing, but it is as a composer that he is set apart from other musicians of this mid-'70s era.Life Wa…
Desert Fairy Princess
Adele Sebastian was an Afro American jazz flutist and singer, active from the early 70s (when she was still a teenager) until her untimely death at the age of 27 (!) in 1983 from a kidney failure. In fact she had been depending on monthly dialysis to stay alive for years. She lived through and for the music and you can hear it on her only solo album “Desert Fairy Princess” which was first issued in 1981.
The mostly acoustic instrumentation brings a very natural and therefore rather retrospectiv…
The Man From O.R.G.A.N.
"Can you truly believe this record was released in 1965? Forging a brand new hybrid of space-age, easy listening and spy jazz the American pianist and composer Dick Hyman, born in New York in 1927, put together one of the cornerstone of the genre. Before switching to the Moog synthesizer (right on time with the moon landing in 1969) he had some very influential theme music releases on MGM Records and Command. But The Man From O.R.G.A.N. was a monster in itself. How could you go wrong with this t…
Some Songs
Edition limited to 200 copies, red vinyl, includes extra tracks taken from "Decap" (1995) and "The Trees" (1996) 7” lathe editions. "The first time I heard anything about Donald McPherson was when my friend David Muir told me excitedly about this guitarist from Ravensbourne who could play really beautifully properly but also just as wonderfully wrongly. I first heard him playing a rare live performance in Dunedin in about 1997. It remains one of the most heavily self-deprecating sets Iive ever s…
