Without Earth
Dive deep into the realms of psychedelic soul with the one and only The Moon! Born in the summer of love, the band debuted in 1968 with his first album Without Earth. Surrounded by a clear Magical Mystery Tour feel, the group covers two songs off Colours (another obscure American group) debut album. "Brother Lou's Love Colony" in particular has little sitar flourishes fulfilling the idea of a serious homage to the Liverpool four. The remaining 10 tracks are all originals with the solid hard rock…
A Record of Living Beings
Audio-visual artist Raimund Wong (Floating World Pictures) and unboundaried composer Suren Seneviratne (My Panda Shall Fly / Soundway) present their debut album on London's ever experimental Kit Records. Interweaving folk, ambient and free improvisation, A Record of Living Beings playfully confronts traditional instrumentation (khæn, shakuhachi, voice, taishogoto, cello) with live tape processing and esoteric '90s software.
The Arolb ensemble began life as Raimund's freeform collaborative radio…

Transients I/O
*2022 stock* Transients I/O, the debut solo release from Andreas Kühne, captures a hidden city at the edge of the Earth. Based on field improvisations recorded from 2018–2020 in Murmansk (the largest city above the Arctic Circle) the two-part electro-acoustic album uses the sounds of objects across Murmansk to speculate on the identity of this remote city – and how its young inhabitants adjust to living there.
For Transients I/O, Kühne recorded site-specific musical improvisations with objects i…
Settlers
*2025 stock* Settlers, the latest release from sound artist & researcher Sergey Kostyrko, explores the social landscape of Murmansk – the largest settlement above the Arctic circle. Side A, Murmansk Soundscape, provides an uninterrupted window onto the city at work, a field recording cherry-picked from extensive research trips around the area. Meanwhile, Sounds of Migration on Side B presents a curiously dynamic noise composition – curious because it’s an automated sonification: one unedited tak…

Country Music
*150 copies limited edition* Written during a period of geographic and artistic transition, Country Music traces Severin Black’s movement from London to Berlin, unfolding through cycles of isolation and adaptation. Composed on the city’s periphery, the album’s material was continually dismantled and reassembled, reflecting a process of both artistic and personal reconstruction. The album marks a shift in production methodology, moving away from the immediacy of summed live takes toward a more de…
Misterioso
Back in the mid 80's, Paul Motian, one of the greatest jazz drummers of all times, assembled one of the most inventive groups of the decade. Motian invited four highly individual players such as Joe Lovano and Jim Pepper on tenor sax, Bill Frisell on electric guitar and Ed Schuller on bass, and the result was a unique sound in perfect balance between post-Ornette free-bop and a new and spacier form of interplay. First released in 1987 "Misterioso" stands as a stunning example of modern jazz!
Now Please Don't You Cry, Beautiful Edith
Released in 1967 with personnel including Lonnie Liston Smith (piano), Ronnie Boykins (bass), and Grady Tate (drums), Now Please Don’t You Cry… marked the beginning of Roland Kirk’s groovier explorations that would eventually lead him to record Blacknuss (1971). It’s vintage Kirk in a pared-down setting and is considered an essential Kirk album.

Homemade Ivory Dreams
100 copies. The title is a description of what I do - making music in the home studio on a keyboard (real and virtual), reflecting some kind of dream world. The phrase Homemade Ivory Dreams - references ivory that often describes a piano keyboard (being tickled). From a review in Classical Ear (UK):It carries itself with all the vivid – and here often hallucinogenic – intensity typical of Roger Doyle’s work. Structure and detail, rhythmic propulsion, tonal variation and textural intricacy all re…

'Wind Cycles,' for tenor saxophone, explores the permutations of breath on reed and brass, from quiet whispers to full-throated …
Erogenous Biome
Madronas’ debut LP Erogenous Biome is an amorphous, murky, cathartic offering. A duet of modular synthesizer and winds that’s equal parts doom and devotion, it’s the sound of a majestic butterfly emerging from it’s slimy chrysalis just in time to catch the sun setting on the end of days, a bewitching, heavy ceremony, a power-wash of both mind and spirit. Tracked in one continuous take at Brooklyn’s Heavy Meadow studio, individual tracks were gleaned from the purge and eschew predictable structur…
Lehto / Korpi
Finnish saxophonist Pauli Lyytinen makes his We Jazz solo debut with Lehto / Korpi, a widescreen environmental jazz ambient album effortlessly bringing together Lyytinen's saxophone, field recordings and extended instrumentation.
