Condizione Umana
Released in the summer of 1972 on italian library and soundtrack label Flower Records, Condizione Umana is more than a mythological entry in Rino De Filippi catalogue. The Maestro – once part of Umiliani/Alessandroni psychedelic project Braen's Machine – explored the deep essence of the human condition in a series of obscure jazzy sketches, revealing a passion for intimate and thrilling atmospheres. As the mind is possibly a terrible things to taste De Filippi illustrates its various states - of…
Gyorgy At The Space Bar
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* During a 4-day residency at kunstencentrum Nona, april 2023, Ocean Eddie worked together with Swedish vocalist Sofia Jernberg (The End, Trondheim Jazz Orchestra, Mette Rasmussen), recording new material for their 2nd album.
Adding vocalist Sofia Jernberg, the trio challenges itself, pushing the orchestral unbalanced combination of instruments even further. Written music, played from the perspective of free musicians, the music can be described as minimal,…
Sun Dog
*100 copies limited edition* "When Kabas first left its mark on the Belgian music scene with Abel (2016), nothing could have prepared you for where they would find themselves nearly one decade later. Not that the quartet needed extreme makeovers or abrupt stylistic switches. On the contrary, every step Thijs Troch, Jan Daelman, Nils Vermeulen and Elias Devoldere have taken since their first debut feels like a logical next one. This is not the sound of calculation or imposed transformation, but o…
Belly Up
You Never End is the third album from Valentina Magaletti, Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews (Moin) out via AD 93 on the 25th October. Its title alone expresses the teetering and shifting nature of both the album and band. This record marks the Moin’s shift into a new phase with vocal collaborations across the album from Olan Monk, james K, Coby Sey and Sophia Al-Maria.
The album’s collaborators all have voices that are alluring in their own right whilst hard to pin down: from james K’s ethereal, rev…
Black Antlers
Dais reissues Coil's seminal Black Antlers, the group's final studio masterpiece completed by Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson after Jhonn Balance's passing. A vital document of the group's final creative surge - where live energy, poetic mysticism and digital experimentation reached their apex.

Much-needed repress. Black vinyl comes with 24" x 36" poster, and download card. Superior Viaduct and our new artist label, W.25TH, are proud to continue to be the home for Cindy Lee with the physical release of the celebrated album Diamond Jubilee.

Cindy Lee is the performance and songwriting vehicle…
Cortex
For the first time on vinyl a collection of tracks by Cortex, Alain Neffe (Bene Gesserit, Insane Music) experimental spoken-word project originally released on tape in 1984. Cortex was never intended to be a conventional musical project. From the very beginning it was centered around free live performances. These encounters were stripped down and highly visual: Alain Neffe constructed a trapezoidal fluorescent white screen lit by black light. The narrator—la récitante—was only illuminated in the…
The Jewel In The Lotus
A spiritual jazz masterpiece, Bennie Maupin’s The Jewel In The Lotus returns on vinyl. Featuring Herbie Hancock and a stellar ensemble, this ECM classic blends meditative soundscapes and collective improvisation, inviting listeners on a timeless journey of musical discovery. An unsung modernist classic from 1974 – Pitchfork
Os Tincoãs
Creatively visionary and groundbreaking on numerous terms, 1973 'Os Tincoãs' revolutionized Brazilian music by harmonizing Afro-religious singing, heavenly vocal harmonies, and frawing on Yoruba mythology, Samba, Capoeira chants and spiritual songs.
Sacred and secular songs
Klaus Lang's compositional approach has always been deeply rooted in the music of old Renaissance masters. Never shy of the that fact, he constantly explores the connections between old and new (old to new).This unique release presents Klaus' fascination with the music of Johannes Ockeghem and it contains harmonium (Klaus' trademark instrument) transcriptions of his sacred and secular songs.
rootless & starbirthed
"This album has been a long time coming. We were lucky enough to do a tape in 2022 with Jeremy Hurewitz (aka Rootless) called what the truth leaves out. But this is the first time we’ve been able to work with long-time fave, Matt Lajoie, who appears with Ash Brooks as half of the no-longer-active duo, Starbirthed. The idea for this pairing was presented to us by Jeremy, who recorded the album at his cabin in southern Vermont in 2019. Jeremy’s Rootless project generally features at least a soupço…
Greatest Heads
*300 copies limited edition* Al Karpenter expands on their Post-Genre Punk approach reaching a new level of maturity. In fact, we can say that “Greatest Heads” is Al Karpenter’s “Remain in Light” from Talking Heads in the sense that it is also their fourth record, heavily based on production and is influenced by Afrobeat in distorted ways. This record contains elaborated liner notes by Eoin Anderson and features very special guests: “ “ [sic] Goldie, Lisa Rosendahl, and Mikel Xedh — a deeply imp…
A White Horse Is Not a Horse
"There was a school of philosophy in ancient China whose core theory stems from a debate entitled “A White Horse Is Not a Horse.” In a book by Gongsun Long (公孫龍 320-250BC, about 200 years after Confucius) in the Warring States Period, two persons argue if a white horse is a horse: the protagonist argues it is not, because ‘white’ is the color of a (particular) horse while a ‘horse’ is a shape and a generic term. It’s a linguistic/logical paradox, or sophistry. Ridiculed by his contemporary philo…
Kompakt 500
Over the decades, the image of Kompakt as a pirate ship has taken root in our minds, braving the dangers of the seven seas of the music market. Sometimes it glides with a tailwind through calm waters, sometimes it has to survive violent storms. When we set sail in 1993, we never would have dreamt that our journey would still be going on after more than three decades and with 500 releases to date.
In our fast-paced business, the 500 mark is rarely reached, so we want to celebrate it with a lavish…
Sotto Il Vestito Niente
For the first time on CD and vinyl, the soundtrack of the cult Italian Giallo film Nothing Underneath composed by Pino Donaggio. This soundtrack perfectly represents Pino Donaggio's style, capable of transitioning from terrifying and sharp symphonies to sweet and sensual electronic pieces. The atmospheres are reminiscent of films such as 'Body Double' and 'Dressed to Kill.' A limited edition not to be missed, for all lovers of Italian thrilling giallo and for all fans of Brian De Palma's films.
Hard Sell
"Sloping like a jello tower block - open the bellows!! His laconic oration cuts through gauzy pigment canopy over dissolute scenes, precisely shipwrecked. For a unit so put together, Giulio Erasmus and his End of the Worm band do the do exquisitely dismantled. Standing lean and lugubrious in what is no less than the direct continuation of the hallowed Factory-Benelux-connection lineage, here the instantly recognisable sinister-yet-seductive basslines and suavely disaffected voice of Erasmus hims…

Memory Lane
Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, played a part in the development of jazz rock in Japan. This work, "Memory Lane" recorded in 1980, was the final work under the same name. Inagaki said about this work, "We tried to create this work while predicting the fate of fusion music" and it is true that the sound is completely different from ordinary fusion. The mellow and emotional "Memory Lane" the stormy and refreshing "I Will Give You Samba" and the groovy and edgy "Take My Hand". The sound that was c…
