Nobody Knows The Heaven
*300 hand-numbered limited edition. 2024 stock. * It's 1975 in Paris. Two young guys in their bed-sit (one of whom is French music maven/famous producer Jay Alansky) are dreaming of counter-culture, and their internal versions of California and New York. The result is this album, a child begotten of Marc Bolan, Baudelaire, and Lautreamont. It's a fascinating record, engaging as it is scare- a look into a parallel pop universe. Somehow, the duo got their record released on Monde Melody's one-off …
Collected Singles
Not many albums can get you in the mood to blow out your speakers quite like Kath “1”, the hideously rare and expensive 1974 low-fi, semi-ramshackle DIY psychedelic LP made by members of Maryland band Badge, recorded in the home of band leader Val Rogolino (and, yes, dedicated to his girlfriend and their pet monkey!). What Patrick the Lama said in Acid Archives about Kath, is equally applicable to Badge: “Obscure and impressive melodic basement garage/psych with a lo-fi atmosphere that would hav…
Rymd
*2024 stock. 180 copies limited edition* "My work is about trying to sonically describe my own emotions, thoughts, and feelings that I experience in the different situations that I am in, such as the things that I see and the moments I live through. Sometimes the music is somber and cold and very digital in nature; other times it is hopeful and warm and more human in nature – but one does not exclude the other. My music is really an observation of both the external and the internal in my life.

Dance of the Aberrant
"Ominous whirling of a bullroare, demonic shrieks of wheeling swifts, the chug of a ghostly steam engine, regimented marching, harrowing intimations of the nightmares of history." The Wire
Assignment Kirchin
Two killer scores by Basil Kirchin, both from the late 1960s, both unreleased until now. Assignment K - a spy film and The Strange Affair, a rather sleazy London crimmy underworld thing. Classic, jazzy, weird, the usual expected unexpected Kirchin with an unreleased song too! Superb!!!!!

How super fucking cool is that? As underwater albums go, this is the very peak. Made using the best cutting edge synth tech of the day... the result is a sublime wash of underwater ambience, emotions and more. IT GETS NO BETTER. Since I started collecting records I have been slightly obsessed with underwater music. I…
Hum Dono
Released in 1969, 'Hum Dono' is a legendary 'lost' British jazz plate, described by Trunk as the best modern British jazz LP of all time that will set you back a good £2000 second hand - if you're lucky enough to find a copy. Its beguiling mix of East meets West rhythms, ideas and joy pits Jamaican free jazz virtuoso Joe Harriott and Indian guitarist Amancio D'Silva against some of the UK jazz elite's most essential players. Blending library-style exotica with tabla rhythms, cascading vocals and…
Winter Resort Music
"The inspiration for Winter Resort Music is derived from a childhood passion for winter sports. It's all about the spooky synths, mainlining radiophonic electronics, subconscious TV memories and an awe about what these athletes could do on the slopes when you were living in the suburbs. Can anyone forget the glowing figure-skaters, dancing into the public consciousness? The perfect beauty that melted girl's and boy's hearts around the world. Sunday afternoons spent watching guys flying on long j…
