Psych /
Alomoni 1985
Think about Can as performed by a shaman commune ! Two long LP-side size compositions, focusing on tribal rhythms (without real drummer), heavy-folk and electronic samples and loops. Takahashi Yoshihiro (Brast Burn) was the man behind this cultish project originally released in 1974. Buried deep in time, this obscure artifact is something of a revelation. No group information was ever given, and no production date or location is indicated, however, it would seem that this record and the "Brast B…
Sabiha Sabiya + Fling Ii
Special discounted Bundle. The always incredible Black Sweat returns with their latest batch, the first ever vinyl reissue of the German multi-instrumentalist Klaus Wiese’s legendary 1982 cassette “Sabiha Sabiya”, and the first ever vinyl pressing of the Michigan based, American quartet, Fling II’s krautrock infused self-titled debut, each is an absolute stunner, exploring the hypnotic possibilities of music in radically different ways.
Träden
The highly praised and long sold-out 2LP album of transcendental psychedelic rock from the eternal Träden, formerly known as Träd, Gräs och Stenar, is finally available again. New limited edition pressing on multi-colored vinyl. Recorded live to tape in the band’s countryside music workshop, these mind-melting improvisations travel beyond time and space through the magical unknown, a manifestation of timeless organic music and free creation.

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/…
