Excellent first album by this Australian post-punk ensemble! First-time vinyl reissue since its initial release in 1983.

"In the fertile terrain of New Zealand’s 1980s post-punk scene, few figures loom as large as the Jefferies brothers. Graeme Jefferies and Peter Jefferies—the primary forces behind This Kind Of Punishment—wrote some of the best music to come out on Flying Nun, Xpressway or elsewhere. A dizzying mix of pastoral ballads and DIY experimentation, TKP’s songwriting was at once...

Mimi Lorenzini (guitar)
Daniel Laloux (tambour)
Jacques Thollot (drums and tapes of recorded experiments)
"There are records that stimulate curiosity to the extreme, records that make you want to dissolve yourself into the intense and beautiful surprise this music will bring. It is undeniable to the delighted ear that this exhumed document contains all the assets of the historical output, of the record that one would dream of waiting for long if one had known it

“The Danny Thompson Trio existed briefly inside of 1967 and by that time, it recalled a much earlier time and place. The trio came together from numerous jazz/R&B avenues featuring now iconic names in Graham Bond, Alexis Korner, Brian Auger, Duffy Power, Georgie Fame, Herbie Goins and many more.
Their combined journeys to this point in November 1967 reveal a who's who of British blues, R&

“When Richard Thompson began writing songs for his latest album, Ship to Shore, the artist was instinctively drawn to his own musical roots, employing them in the service of fashioning a deep and diverse 12-track collection that pulls from various styles, genres and eras, but remains unmistakably Richard Thompson. There’s the rumbling, Motown-style rhythm that propels “Trust,” and the straightforward riff-rock of “Turnstile Casanova.” The drone-y"...

Thor Harris has been the drummer for Swans for the last 5 years and this is influenced by minimalism and the avant-garde.

"Thor & Friends is the eponymous full length debut from the avant-chamber ensemble formed by polymath percussionist Thor Harris. It was recorded in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and produced by Jeremy Barnes and Heather Trost from A Hawk & A Hacksaw and Deerhoof's John Dieterich. The three core members of the band are Peggy Ghorbani on marimba, Sarah 'Goat' Gautier on marimba...

“A multi-instrumental acoustic trio based in Bristol, UK, featuring members of Spiro, Get The Blessing and Scottish Dance Theatre. As intricate as a team of watchmakers, as spare as a mountain stream, the music encompasses both a cinematic sweep and an intimate delicacy, in which “the...

"A singular and rare neogothic concept album combining the sound of a grand pipe organ with the typical progressive rhythm section: �The Legend of the Holy Circle� is the second concept album from the italian band Three Monks after their debut album...

"It's impossible to deny Throbbing Gristle's working methods and innovation are so deeply ingrained in the collective consciousness of... everything. TG's subversive dismantling of the apparatus of social control casts such a long shadow, and as impossible as it may seem, this collection actually provides an exceptional summation of their best work. The first real industrial group, the founders of Industrial Records and one of the most important electronic music innovators of all time, TG redefined music an

"Bureau B reissues Asmus Tietchens' third solo album on Sky Records, originally released in 1982. It stands to reason that any musical journey undertaken by a skeptic like Asmus Tietchens is destined to head into the night (In die Nacht) rather than...

"While Asmus Tietchens planned to head off "into the future" ("In die Zukunft") with Biotop (1981), Sp�t-Europa witnesses his arrival. Released on Sky Records in 1982, the second album in the "Zeitzeichen" phase not only continued in the style of its...

“Limited to just 300 copies worldwide, this audiophile pressing has been optimised to offer the widest possible dynamic range.
The Whispering of the World”, though released as the sixth Tiger Moth Tales album, was actually recorded back in January of 2020 at the fabulous Fieldgate Studios in South Wales. This stripped back, intimate collection of songs features just Jones at the grand piano and a string quartet.
Pete: ”It was amazing to work with string players, and there were many times where...

"San Francisco, California's Tigon unleash a colossal set of splendid post-hardcore noise rock on their debut full length, Infinite Teeth. Driving, dynamic, and dissonant, this music is intelligent and challenging, bristling with swagger. Opting for...

Finally, a third release from one of the most exciting Brit-jazz ensembles of 1969/1971! And regardless of the caveat below about the condition of the tapes, the final results are more than listenable and enjoyable!

This was Jukka�s second solo album, and was recorded in late 1973, while he was still playing with Tasavallan Presidentti.
This is a quite lovely, �summer sun-shine filled� instrumental jazz/rock album with folk overtones!
Jukka performs on electric and acoustic guitars, acoustic piano, moog and tabla and heavy hitters from the Finnish jazz and electric jazz scene appear here.

“Bandiera Di Carta represents the ongoing collaboration between instrument builder and composer Pierre Bastien and the London based experimental duo Tomaga (Valentina Magaletti and Tom Relleen). Bastien has been called a "mad musical scientist with a celebrity following" by The Guardian (UK) having collaborated with the likes of filmmaker Pierrick Sorin, fashion designer Issey Miyake, singer and composer Robert Wyatt as well as Aphex Twin, who released three of his albums on his label Rephlex. Tomaga...

The music is remastered and now released on vinyl for the first time. Features many guest musicians like Max Eastley, Toshinori Kondo, Musa Kalamula, Jon Hassell and more. Double LP housed in a gatefold sleeve, containing liner notes written by David Toop.

“Who’s to say if we’re to believe Pablo Picasso’s theory that “art washes away from the soul the dust from everyday life”, However, only a fool would deny the simple processes of guitar string to amplifier or microphone to magnetic tape/WAV file can be more than merely a hobby or an idle pastime. This is a cathartic endeavour that reflects and refracts the daily joys and tribulations to elevate and elucidate. Such is the case with the second solo album by Kavus Torabi, The Banishing.
“I started...

"Without any doubt a must-have from French composers of that period, hesitating between classical and electronic music, they just innovated like crazy while creating sounds that went well with artistic dance. The story behind Docteur Labus, who was...

Two stunning BBC sessions from the heyday of the British band. One recorded before the release of the debut album on Island, Mr. Fantasy, the second -- December 11th -- right after. Facing the beginning of a new groove ideology after the blues explosion.

"The title of the debut album from The Transcendence Orchestra outlines the modus operandi of this pairing of Anthony Child and Daniel Bean. Recorded in a remote English rural setting over a period of 24 hours, this is an apt location for a recording that eschews time and space in favor of methodological displacement and deep psychological navigation. Modern Methods For Ancient Rituals is an experiment in acoustic and synthetic symbiosis which is deeply influenced by the atmosphere and acoustics of the....

"Extremely rare live in studio recordings of one of England's most superlative female-fronted acid folk bands, recorded in 1971 and 1972 with DJ Bob Harris for BBC Radio 1. Formed in London in 1969, Trees have been likened to a more psychedelic...

First album of two by this short-lived UK folk rock band. At their best, they combine fine folk rock with good psychedelic touches and a guitarist who is reminsicent of the great Popol Vuh guitarist Daniel Fichelscher! If you dig this sort of thing, you will enjoy this.

"Trees play folk rock comparable to bands like Fairport Convention or Mellow Candle. Beautiful compositions with a good balance between acoustic and electric pieces. Electric and acoustic guitar are the principal instruments....
