Astro Love & Infinite Kisses
**restocked** Kawabata Makoto emerges from a period of relative quiet with his first widely available solo release in several years, the blockbuster Krautrock-flavored Astro Love & Infinite Kisses. This lovely and impressionistic record showcases the other side of Makoto's outrageous works with Acid Mothers Temple.

The OZ Tapes
Ltd pressing of only 300 copies, long gone and sold out. This is the reissue of this legendary LP – with Taj Mahal Travelers, Minami Masato, Acid Seven and Hadaka no Rallizes aka Les Rallizes Denudes. Without a single doubt, this bloodsucker of a disc is one of THE holy grails of the Japanese early seventies lysergic psych scene, together with Speed Glue & Shinki, Sato Masahiko & Soundbreakers and People/Ceremony. Privately released in a tiny edition on the OZ Days label way back in 1973, the re…
Live at the Shaboo-Inn (part II)
***restocked, very last copies** "2nd and final set from that legendary concert, here's a review i found on the net about part I: Unbelievable previously unreleased live electric Miles blow-out from January 1974: this is a mind-blower, with the electric group at an insane high energy over-amped peak. Not many live recordings exist from 1974, the same era as Dark Magus etc. Here Miles is paired with Dave Liebman, guitarist Pete Cosey, Reggie Lucas, Michael Henderson, Al Foster and Mtume and the f…
La Mutazione
**Few copies back in stock, sold out at source** A milestone originally released in 1985 on the legendary Broken Flag label, Giancarlo Toniutti's La Mutazione is renowned in certain circles as a classic and with good reason.

At the …

Die Unsichtbare
**restocked, very last copies copies*Mindblowing!! Truly an amazing edition, and finally the mythical 'invisible' LP is here! The music tracks on the two records "Unser Debut"-LP (1984) and "Sechs"-LP (1986) were composed in such a way that by playing them simultaneously on two record players a new unity came about. The invisible LP is literally invisible, immaterial and only heard when the two records Text, music and rhythm of the tracks of both records complemented, doubled and shifted one an…
Disqualifier
The 6th full-length studio recording and first since his move to Baltimore, Disqualifier steps beyond the shadow of Ottoman Black to yield a programmatic, mature and vulnerable setting.

Recorded from nothing November, 2012 through July, 2013 in Baltimore, MD. Additional musicians: Jeff Stockham french …
La norma del cielo

"Volo Magico n.1" features a 18 minute long title…
Fogh Depot
Fogh Depot is not just a collaboration between three musicians weaving a cozy melancholic cocoon in the midst of a looming, cold, unwelcoming metropolis of Moscow. It’s a creativity lab where complex cryptoanarchic ideas rigidify in the viscously flowing Phrygian mode, while the simple and naive piano melodies sweep the listener right back to childhood. Fogh Depot’s debut album contains eight stories told by different people in different places. "Anticyclone" feels like a massive hedge-maze amid…
Madam I'm Adam
2015 restock. The music of of the Finnish experimental music pioneer Pekka Airaksinen has been far ahead of it's time for most of his 40-year long career. His finest recordings from the 60's are more reminiscent of Industrial Music and Noise (which would emerge ten years later) than of the music of his precursors and contemporaries. Later, in the early 80's, few people, if any, were mixing mechanic beats and free jazz like he did. Favourable conditions for this kind of music didn't really exist …
