Revenge Of The Selfish Shellfish
Tip! *First time on vinyl!* Originally released by Tursa (UK) in 1992, Revenge of the Selfish Shellfish was the first, full-length collaboration between Steven Stapleton and Tony Wakeford. Consisting of an eerie, yet beautiful, combination of songs and surreal locales, Shellfish remains a unique landmark with qualities not easily found in either Nurse With Wound or Sol Invictus discography. Evoking a strong sense of narrative, such as Wakeford's vocals on Lucifer Before Sunrise and the perpetual…
Amulet
The music released as Amulet (or The Amulet Edition) is Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson's semi-secret testament. Originally available in exceedingly limited quantities at live shows and via direct mail-order in 2008 as a hand-assembled 4 miniCDR set housed in a circular Thai Amulet case and never properly distributed, the material finally receives the wider re-release on vinyl and CD it so richly deserves. Only the second and sadly already the final release in his post-Coil solo guise as The Thres…
Embrace
Mega tip! *300 copies limited edition* ‘This celebration of the group’s 30th anniversary is composed entirely of recent works, but each will move around in time as well as in form, in ways that belong to traditions of both improvised and composed music, but also in ways that belong distinctively to this group. It demonstrates breadth and depth that suggest great temporal reach, embracing musical values that touch the art’s ritual origins and offering a sense of ongoing relevance and renewal. Tru…
Terremoto
Tip! To abandon animals for music – and avant-garde jazz at that –, could seeming shocking to some people. However, it is exactly what Manuel Villarroel did, as he was a vet for three years before leaving his native Chili for Europe and a career in music. And though the animals may have suffered, the world of music can be grateful. Born in 1944, Manuel Villarroel lent an ear to the best pianists from North America: Oscar Peterson and Erroll Garner then Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner and Cecil Taylo…
Quetzalcoatl
Tip! Before coming to Europe, in 1970, pianist Manuel Villarroel was a vet in his native Chili. A few years later, as leader of the Machi Oul Big Band, he returned to the animal kingdom. A very specific kind of animal, for sure, the Quetzalcoatl, also known as the Feathered Serpent. What is behind this title (also the name of one of the three original compositions on this album released on the Palm label in 1976), is first and foremost a sort of homecoming…
After discovering the jazz of Herbie H…

On its south shore, the city of Kinshasa – capital of Democratic Republic…
Rhymes With Water
Much-needed repress. For his premiere recording on God Records, Phill Niblock confirms his minimalistic musical approach and composes two monumental pieces for flutes and additional voices, respectively. Commissioned by Erik Drescher and Natalia Pschenitschnikova, Niblock again delivers an almost stripped, uncompromising one-way sound monolith. Tremendous, straight, and to the point... Personnel: Phill Niblock - composition; Natalia Pschenitschnikova - bass flute, voice; Erik Drescher - glissand…
Starring Rosi
CD - Remastered by Manuel Göttsching Starring Rosi is the fifth album by Ash Ra Tempel. Released in 1973, it is by far the most accessible Ash Ra Tempel album.

It is an evocative album that already delineates the direction in which Manuel Gottsching would go in the future. The icing on the cake is the charming recitations and songs by Rosi Mu…

Join Inn
CD - Remastered by Manuel Göttsching. The original Ash Ra Tempel line-up got together to record Join Inn during breaks in the Tarot album recordings. The album's two lengthy tracks were completely improvised. The first, 'Freak 'n Roll' is basically self-explanatory(!) with Manuel Gottsching coming into his own with his talented, bluesy upbeat improvisations. 'Jenseits' (Beyond), on the other hand, is a showcase for Klaus Schulze's then new-found electronic sound painting skills. The lyrics on th…
Schwingungen

Originally recorded and released in 1972, this edition on MIG has been remastered by band leader Manuel Gottsching. Recommended for fans of Saucerful of Secrets era Pink Floyd.
