*150 copies limited edition* "Later, listening back to the recording, he was surprised to find how the sound of the gulls and wind, the slap of waves, evoked not the grim reality of the crossing but the romantic ideal of a sun soaked cruise." - Geoff Dyer Compared to my last couple of albums (Mote Music and Borrowed Out of Time) White Sands is somewhat of a departure in style.

Often credited as the father of multi-media theatre, Alwin Nikolais (1910-1993) took complete creative control over his productions - including cutting-edge approaches to lighting and costume that transformed human bodies into shifting sculptural shapes, while also composing wildly innovative electronic music as accompaniment. After initially experimenting with musique concrète and tape manipulation (as demonstrated on the 1959 LP Choreosonic Music of the New Dance Theatre of Alwin Nikolais) Nik…

Out of print since 2014!! Look Mom No Head! dresses rock ʼnʼ roll in its full regalia, with its many knobs, buttons and doo-dads. Man! The electric guitar sounds like it might launch a rocket! Replete with celebrations of intoxication and sexual prowess, The Cramps’ 1991 album sports “Dames, Booze, Chains and Boots” from the movie Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, a torchy rendition of Jack Nitzscheʼs slow-fuck blues “Hardworkinʼ Man” and the cross-dressing classic “I Wanna Get In Your Pants.” Minute…

Originally planned for 1985 to join in the onslaught of Elvisʼs 50th Anniversary commemorative reissues, A Date With Elvis came out in early 1986 in Europe only, where it went on to sell more than 200,000 copies. The only album featuring The Cramps as a three-piece band (Poison Ivy doubled on bass), it careens from the sociopathic advice of “People Ainʼt No Good” (later covered by Nick Cave) to mind-on-vacation odes like “Aloha From Hell” and “Kizmiaz” (where The Cramps prove they were exotic wh…

*40 copies limited edition* »Know I've Been Here Before« by Dan Gilmore is a suite of eleven songs, based on reassembled and overdubbed audio files recorded between 2007 and 2010. What I hear in these recordings are not only various sound sources such as the guitar, the (self-built) synthesizer, or microphones, not only movements, rhythms, textures, or even harmonies, but also ideas, aspirations, circumstances, a mode of production. It is music that, through association and disassociation, makes…

Originally issued by Philips in 1973, Le Cimetière des Arlequins is the second LP by Ange, and the record that transformed a young band from Belfort into the defining voice of French progressive music. A gold record in its homeland, it remains one of the great theatrical statements of the European 1970s - a world of discordant organ, Mellotron, and feverish narration that owes as much to the chanson tradition as it does to the symphonic ambitions of its English contemporaries. The album announce…

Originally released in 1973, Fuente y Caudal is widely regarded as one of the most important recordings in the history of flamenco guitar. The album captures Paco de Lucía at the height of his early creative period, combining traditional flamenco forms with his own modern harmonic ideas and dazzling virtuosity.

On No Obituary, Concealed Class - the duo of Charlie Mumma and Matt Purse - reduce harsh sound to its barest, most hostile state: absolute electronics where saturation, feedback and structural collapse are the only remaining facts.

On Electric Garden, Sissy Spacek and Smegma blur into a single, unstable organism, trading identities inside a live electro‑acoustic tangle where tape, junk percussion, turntables and guitar debris drift through The Pink House like sentient interference.

On Geometric Reason, Sissy Spacek reroute their long‑running extremism into a jagged strain of musique concrète, splicing voice, electronics and acoustic shards into a volatile collage charged by fire‑displacement, Japanese connections and their enduring taste for rupture.

On Io Pur Respiro, pianist Elias Stemeseder and bassist Thomas Morgan sculpt a live duo language where Gesualdo, 1930s standards and original pieces blur into a quietly radiant continuum, guided by an unerring sense of melody, space and equilibrium.

Beyond simply unearthing these hidden treasures, the aim here is to capture a pioneering spirit in which wild …
