Berceuses Des Deux Mondes
"As our ears wander into the cacophony of a saturated world, drowned by the dissonance and excess of noise that besieges us, Rien Virgule invites us to explore sonic interstices, to slow down and resist the frenzy. With ‘Berceuses des deux mondes’ (‘Lullabies of the two worlds’), the deafening fires of the din are extinguished, the volume of the over-amplified world calms down, and music becomes a refuge. We listen as we contemplate a flickering candle flame, tinged with a luminous melancholy. T…
The Flip Side
Sometimes records reflect life with an unsettling precision, your own breath sticking to a mirror, confounding or transforming reality. J.H. Guraj, real name Dominique Vaccaro, is back with ‘The Flip Side’, an accomplished work of grace and sprawling elegance documenting struggle and a near-death experience that summons ghosts of Western primitive masters, rollicking free folk, minimalist orchestrations, weeping guitars and smooth psychedelics.
Time stopped for J.H. Guraj in 2021 following a br…
Music for Fools (2022-2024)
After several extensive DIY world tours with his partner in pipes Enora Morice (from Wuhan to Bal?more via Ullapool ?!!), jester in chief Jazz Lambaux recently seKled and channeled the material he recorded over the past few years into a manifest album for Édi?ons Gravats (some of which got released as singles via excellent Brussels-based label City Links and video clips directed by Jazz himself). Almost 40 years a"er Baudrillard’s America, Jazz Lambaux offers his own fantasy of TV-fed - mostly w…

Greek Variations & Other Aegean Exercises
*2025 much needed repress!!!* Recorded in '69, Greek Variations & Other Aegean Exercises is irresistible on two counts. First, for its daringly conceived and brilliantly performed music, inspired by Greek folk songs and instrumental textures and deep enough to reveal all its treasures only after many repeated listenings. Second, for being recorded at the moment when the Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet, a major force in British straight-ahead jazz since '62, had broken up and Carr's equally influent…
Strip Tease
Another side of Serge Gainsbourg permeates this 1963 film soundtrack about ‘a stripper lost in the nocturnal world’ of Paris, according to director Jacques Poitrenaud, who cast Nico in the lead role (after her appearance in La Dolce Vita and just prior to the single she cut with Jimmy Page for Andrew Loog Oldham). Created by Gainsbourg with arranger and longstanding collaborator Alain Gourager, the music is fittingly the cool jazz of dingy nightclubs and seedy bordellos, with Gainsbourg on piano…
Paesaggio Bellico
Four Flies Records is proud to present Paesaggio Bellico, a collection of unreleased music from legendary composer and multi-instrumentalist Alessandro Alessandroni.
Amber
*2025 stock* Amber is the first release of Jonah Segers. He presents four tracks of which three will take you on a journey through his routines of experimenting with different recording techniques and sound design. The first three tracks are telling each their own story, capturing the realness of daily life sounds which Jonah processes in a world of high contrast and tension.The last track shows a different side of his work, that brings you in a state of high alertness.
Quantum Web EXP
Discovery Zone’s Quantum Web EXP is an expanded journey through the shimmering circuitry of 2024’s Quantum Web, the second album by the New York-born and based musician and multi-media artist JJ Weihl. This extended version, marking the year anniversary of Quantum Web, invites listeners deeper into Discovery Zone’s maze, where melodies fracture and reform, music becomes mirror and mirage, and circuitous patterns lead to electric dreams.
Cosa Rara
A prolific and limitless musician, performer, composer, and sound artist, Lucrecia Dalt challenges both genre and form, pulling apart familiar elements of pop and experimental music and reassembling them in unexpected ways. Breaking through to a wider audience with her acclaimed 2022 album ¡Ay!, Dalt has also made a name as a composer for film and TV, including her original, acclaimed scores for HBO’s series The Baby, Cannes 2024 feature film winner On Becoming a Guinea Fowl, and the forthcoming…
Play Mary Lou Williams
It's very rare that Discus Music commissions the actual musical content of a new release from the artists. In this case Martin Archer enjoyed a live gig by the duo so much, which had included one Mary Lou piece, that he suggested to Adam and Johnny after the gig they put together an entire programme of her music for this CD/DL. MLW is, after all, one of Martin's favourite artists.
Adam and Johnny both understand and demonstrate in their playing that new music does not appear out of nowhere. Any …
Fire
In the space of a couple of years, Stephen Grew has recorded three absolutely sparkling solo piano releases for Discus Music. All three are spontaneous improvisations arising from years of practice and refinement. Grew is a massively undervalued artist - follow the story he tells across this release and its two predecessors and I'm sure you'll agree.
Stephen Grew writes: "Recorded in the Great Hall, Lancaster University, on the 22nd November 2024. This music was recorded on a Steinway D and what…
Gnäw II
Tip! “We draw a magic circle and accept a new set of rules that reigns from there,” says Arash Ghasemi in describing the foundation of Gnäw, his duo with Simo Hakalisto. Hakalisto and Ghasemi first met in Milano, but they were born and raised in Finland and Iran, respectively. Gnäw melts together these musical roots with various chips and splinters from the different musical worlds and genres they have collected along the way. While Ghasemi brings an understanding of the vastness of the desert, …

Edition of 31 copies.
Rotation-Free
Strong wind blows tumbleweed on unpaved streets of undisclosed desert settlement, dust and sand is in the air. Rusty shop sign of a small gas station dances and creaks in the hinges of its post. In the small bar, which serves as the only social establishment of this settlement, few habitues observe flickering unidentified object unsuccessfully trying to land on empty parking lot. Few of the habitues raise their beer bottles and cheer at the landing attempt, some of them are visibly excited about…
Lues / Delirium
One track on this 7” ep is called Lues, the other Delirium and after listening to this new installment to ever growing Organ of Corti discography I can confirm that those titles are a fair fit for the music. Lues is a medical term for syphilis and indeed, once you spend some time with this otherworldly music you won’t come back home as clean as you once were. Delirium, state in which you are not able to think or act straight followed by symptoms of fever, sleepiness and confusion. I can’t imagin…
Mae'r Olwyn Yn Troi
Tip! This is the second in the new series of the label's reissue albums on vinyl. Mae'r Olwyn yn Troi (The Wheel Turns), Heather Jones' first album, was released in 1974, and Sain is proud to celebrate the record's 50th year in 2024. It is regarded as one of the classic albums of the 70s - the songs, the instrumentation, the arrangements, the musicianship and the production reaching such a high standard.
The real star of the album is, of course, Heather herself. Her amazing pure voice and her di…
Fourth
Trestle Records is pleased to announce the new record from Tout. The aptly named Fourth. Fourth ushers in a change of direction with core members Nick Downes and Jonathan Fryer composing the principle tracks as a duo in their London studio. Once these were established and recorded they both reached out with invitations to a host of collaborators, mostly friends, to complement and expand upon their foundational elements. Fourth finds Tout delving deeper into the bands interest in contemporary cla…
Jodorowsky's Dune (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
2025 stock This is the soundtrack to the story about the greatest film that never was. Jodorowsky’s Dune tells the tale of cult filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky’s unsuccessful attempt to adapt Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel, Dune, to the big screen. Composer Kurt Stenzel gives life to a retro-futuristic universe as fantastic as Jodorowsky’s own vision for his Dune–a film whose A-list cast would have included Salvador Dalí, Orson Welles, and Mick Jagger in starring roles and music by psyched…

It was the only album released during the Crazy World's original incarnation.
A psychedelic soul album, its style is defined by frontman Arthur Brown's wide-ranging theatri…
