Psycotron - 1
Reduced Price, last copies ** 2024 Much-needed repress, Llimited edition of 150 copies, silkscreened covers and printed insert. ** A hazy, claustrophobic bridge between minimalism, drone, creative conceptualism, ambient music, and noise, we’re thrilled to offer the first ever vinyl reissue of Nord’s “Psycotron - 1” - one of the greatest and most sought-after holy grails of early Japanese Noise. Recorded by Hiroshi Oikawa only a handful of years before his complete disappearance and originally i…
Hosianna Mantra
Newly remastered vinyl edition of this seminal 1972 release. In the history of experimental music, few artistic decisions have proven as radical or as successful as Florian Fricke's complete abandonment of electronic instrumentation on Popol Vuh's third album, Hosianna Mantra. Released in 1972, this stunning work represents not just a departure from the Moog synthesizer explorations that defined the group's first two releases, but a complete reimagining of what spiritual music could accomplish i…
Generic Flipper
Generic Flipper, the debut album by Flipper, remains the most absorbing full-length LP to emerge from the early San Francisco punk scene. A constant source of imitation for so-called "noise rock" bands, it has yet to be surpassed in its nihilistic glee. Recorded between October 1980 and August 1981 and released in 1982 on the indispensable Subterranean Records, this album functions as a chaotic, sticky mass of individual personalities: the magma-like bass eruptions and dual vocals of Will Shatte…
Marrow
** Black UV printed tape dubbed at Headless Duplicate Tapes in a multi-cassette plastic case containing the Marrow tabletop RPG poster and insert with rules to play. ** Marrow – Excerpt offers a concentrated immersion into the strange, shifting world built by Merchants, the Italian electronic duo of Alberto Ricca aka Bienoise and Davide Amici. Since 2016, the pair have treated the studio less as a neutral workspace than as a speculative cartography lab, using samples and synthesis to sketch the…
Lahar
LAHAR is the new musical work of Bandung power duo KUNTARI, Indonesia. A deeply atmosferic, bone-melting session of ancestral doom sounds delivered by the contemporary Indonesian primal music specialists. LAHAR is a Javanese term which was adopted in geology to describe a violent type of mudflow or debris flow composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, rocky debris and water. The material flows down from a volcano, typically along a river valley. Lahars are often extremely destructive and dea…
A Gentle Reminder
There's a story that gets to the heart of this record. Years ago, Keefe Jackson spent an evening with South African-Dutch legend Sean Bergin - the only time the two ever met. At some point Bergin told him: "Keefe, you remind me very much of my friend Ab Baars." Jackson replied that he'd heard this many times, that he'd even stopped wearing a certain hat to avoid the comparison. Bergin paused, then said: "These things happen." And so a band got its name - from a throwaway line that turned out to …
L'Éthiopien, The Ethiopian
Ethiopiques 32: Nalbandian The Ethiopian resurrects Nalbandian The Ethiopian & Either/Orchestra as a blazing big‑band bridge between 1950s Addis and 21st‑century Boston, restoring Nerses Nalbandian’s forgotten Ethio‑jazz charts with cinematic force.
Lola
On Lola, Zbigniew Namysłowski Modern Jazz Quartet fuse blazing post‑bop with Polish highlander melodies, cutting a 1964 London session that became both a historic first outside the Iron Curtain and a cult artefact of fiercely local modern jazz.
Issue 86 (Magazine)
Audion 86 arrives as a concentrated blast of deep listening culture, a 44-page A4 issue that treats the margins of rock, jazz and experimental sound as its natural centre. First published on 6 February 2025 in simultaneous printed and pdf editions, the magazine continues Audion’s long-running refusal to follow fashion, pursuing instead what its editors call “explorations in sound and music” - the points where history gets strange, regional scenes bloom in isolation, and aesthetics mutate far fro…

Issue 72 (Magazine)
Audion 73 is where Audion Magazine’s global circuitry really starts to glow. First published on 3 March 2023 as a 48‑page A4 pdf, the issue threads book criticism, deep historical reappraisal and present‑tense scene reports into one restless survey. It opens, fittingly, on the printed word with “A Fistful of Spaghetti” - an extended book‑review section that uses recent titles on Italian cinema, music and counterculture as a prism, talking through how giallo soundtracks, spaghetti western scores …
Issue 71 (Magazine)
Audion 71 catches Audion Magazine in full cartographic mode, tracing how progressive, psychedelic and experimental tendencies have leaked across borders, labels and generations. The issue opens with a feature on Acid Rooster, cast here as “new space-trekkers from Germany”, picking up the kosmische thread with extended jams that feel closer to orbital slingshots than retro homage. The piece listens closely to their long-form structures, guitar textures and rhythmic drift, showing how they tap int…
Issue 70 (Magazine)
Audion 70 catches Audion Magazine in full investigative mode, tracing unlikely connections between avant-garde improvisers, 1970s label culture and the latest mutations of progressive rock. At its core is a substantial feature on AMM / AMMMusic, treating the ensemble not as a distant academic reference but as a living fault-line in post‑war sound. The article unpacks how AMM’s radical non-idiomatic improvisation, tape abuse and volume-as-material approach rewired the language of collective playi…
Issue 69 (Magazine)
Audion 69 opens on a sustained chord of Italo-symphonic grandeur and slowly fans out across Europe’s most fertile borderlands, using a handful of key case studies to prise open the archive. At its centre is an extended feature on Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, here framed unapologetically as “the Italian masters of classical rock” during their 1970s peak. The article doesn’t simply rehearse the usual praise quotes: it walks album by album through the original run, unpicking how Banco welded conservat…
Light
On Light, Palle Mikkelborg condenses a lifetime of orchestral colour into a quietly radiant final opus: solo trumpet, flugelhorn and piano drift through self‑designed soundscapes, joined sparingly by harp and guitar, like hymns remembered in slow motion.
Number One - Nothing Personal

Kind of Blue
*Listed as one of the four most influential Jazz albums that happened to be released in 1959 (Dave Brubeck -Time Out & Charles Mingus -Ah Um among them), so much has been said and written about Miles Davis'Kind Of Blue, it's virtually impossible to summarize all the necessary info to the length of this page. We could simply list some facts (best sold Jazz album ever worldwide). We could try to explain why it's the best Jazz album ever made, but the music itself will do that to you.

The Pink Violin (Book)
The Pink Violin by Jon Rose and Rainer Linz is a gloriously over‑the‑top fake biography of non‑existent violinist–composer Dr. Johannes Rosenberg, a “reformist parody” that lampoons art‑school scholarship, new‑music mythologies and violin culture with such detail and deadpan rigor it almost passes for the real thing.
Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat
On Synthesizing: Ten Ragas to a Disco Beat, Charanjit Singh folds centuries of Hindustani tradition into a three‑box Roland future, crafting a 1982 raga‑disco séance that would lie dormant for decades before being hailed as proto–acid house and a cornerstone of South Asian electronic modernity.
Mystic Suite
Let us take you back. Waaay back. According to early Greek mythology, the three powerful sons of the god Kronos divided up the cosmos after overthrowing their father: Poseidon ruled the sea, Zeus commanded the heavens, and Hades reigned over the underworld. Conversely, this latest offering from the Atlantis Jazz Ensemble completes the group's corresponding trilogy - Oceanic Suite (2016), Celestial Suite (2023), and now Mystic Suite (2026). As you might expect, this Mystic Suite, inspired by Hade…
