The Complete Live in Paris 1960, Vol. 1
This is the first time this concert has been published in its entirety. The adventure began in 2022 with a visit to a tape recorder enthusiast in Brittany. It turned out that he had the missing part of this mythical recording. It took us almost two years of traveling through the south of France and the United States to finally find the other original tapes in... Stockholm. We are proud and happy to present this first volume. In October, on the stage of the Olympia - a legendary Parisian venue th…
Dunstkreis
*100 copies limited edition* Label head Kobermann returns with a cast of local associates, mostly all new names to us, clustering a varied batch of styles / sounds that skirt round the very edge of the dance floor and bleeds out into the aether.  The title ‘Dunstkreis’ or ‘Haze Circle’ for the non-Deutsch speakers, captures it beautifully, with Voyage Futur’s mellow Rhodes chord opener and the cosmic smog of Blacklight Chameleon fogging out the room.  Sparring partners and regular ANF favourites…
Stories del Tibur​ó​n Llor​​​​​​​ó​​​​​​​n del Amazonas
Three part journey into an imaginary Amazon from three artists working on the fringes of Field recordings.
Unaccompanied Acoustic Guitar Vol. 2
Here is the second volume of protean solo improvisations recorded by Loren Connors in his artist's garret in New Haven, Connecticut. Like the first volume, it was committed to tape and pressed to vinyl in 1979. Never having seen a copy of this record, and having pressed it before we discovered a master cassette exists, this is as good a transfer as can be had for the nonce. Loren's chair creaks like rusty crow and the amount of random tapping and thumping during the original session just about d…

"Exact replica reissue of the third Leo Kottke LP from 1970, originally released by MN label Symposium (distributed by John Fahey's Takoma). A partial studio re-recording of Kottke's 1969 debut album 12 String Blues."
Mystery
"Jackson C. Frank has become a folk legend. As an American folk musician and songwriter known for his brief but influential career in the 1960s. His debut album, Jackson C. Frank, is considered a folk classic. It featured songs like 'Blues Run the Game' and 'Milk and Honey,' which have been covered by numerous artists over the years including Simon and Garfunkel, Nick Drake and Bert Jansch."
Infinite Space
Edition of 319. Ivan The Tolerable Trio are back with an alternate version to the amazing Infinite Peace. 2 epic tracks to take you away into infinite space! "When we went in to ATA studios in Leeds to record the Infinite Peace LP - it was always the plan to have two versions of the album - a straight mix that documented what we actually recorded there in its pure form and another version that would rearrange everything into a new shape. Once the LP was out, I passed all the stems to my old pal/…

That​’​s how I got to Memphis (and other Egyptian love songs)
While there has been plenty of precedent, regarding Alvarius B’s fascination with the down and out of Anglo/American cultural refuse, That’s How I Got To Memphis is certainly his most realized collection of paying homage to it. The fact that this whole album is a collection of covers that have invaded AB’s current musical obsessions is testament to the timeless nature of the original artists songwriting prowess. Imagine Joe Meek coming back from the dead to produce a country western and northern…

Waves
Elina Bolshenkova (aka Eli!) is an activist, artist and musician from Russia who currently resides in Georgia. Her previous long player ‘Flood Management’ was released by the indefatigable Infant Tree label. It is a dangerous time to be an outspoken artist in Russia, so Elina is happy to keep to the shadows for now. The title for the album is taken from a novel of the same name by Soviet-Russian science fiction writer/brothers Arkady and Boris Strugatsky who were renowned for their fictional fut…
