*2026 repress!* Long before the term Cosmic Americana was of common use there was a band ideally fitting the role. Back in 1976 the long psychedelic wave was rapidly fading away, but the market of private press was still in demand. The self-debut album of Relatively Clean Rivers came out the same year on the leader Phil Pearlman label. Pacific Is released just this sole album and was to a certain extent an original example of do it yourself. The brainchild of Phil Pearlman, the band was rapidly …
*100 copies limited edition* Confront Recordings, the vanguard of adventurous music since 1996, proudly unveils Be S-Mart, a riveting new album capturing the spontaneous brilliance of improvising masters Steve Beresford, Pierpaolo Martino, and Mark Sanders.
Be S-Mart emerges from the heart of live improvisation, where Beresford's eclectic electronics and prepared piano wizardry collide with Martino's bass textures and Sanders' propulsive, ever-shifting drums. This trio forges a sonic landscape t…
August 10, 1964. Van Gelder Studio, Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. A young saxophonist from Philadelphia enters the studio to record his first album as a leader for Impulse! Records. At his side, as co-producer, stands the man to whom he owes everything: John Coltrane. Archie Shepp was twenty-seven years old when Four For Trane was recorded - an age that in 1964 jazz still meant being an emerging voice. Born in Fort Lauderdale but raised in Philadelphia - the same Philadelphia as Coltrane, eleven…
We are thrilled to announce the reissue of the most precious hidden gems of Soul Jazz / Spoken Word albums from a key era. Originally released in 1974 as a private pressing of fewer that 100 copies, Touching Your Feelings by Jim Marks is a crucial missing piece of the proto-rap era lying firmly between Gil Scott Heron and Amiri Baraka, with whom he made a strong friendship. Jym Marks' mix of deep, expressive poetry and solid jazz sits on the edge of works by The Last Poets and fellow west coast …
On Paris Public Spaces 2, Éric La Casa and Seijiro Murayama stage brief, focused vocal interventions across Parisian sites, letting microphone placement and urban acoustics turn spoken sound into a moving portrait of how voice and city continuously re‑shape one another.
Tip! Tip! Tip! After carrying the idea around for a while, the team at Habibi Funk finally brings their vision of a print music magazine to life. Spotlights gathers research from their own releases alongside stories that reach beyond the label's catalog - 88 pages, A4 format, and each copy comes with a bonus poster by Raphaelle Macaron imagining Sun Ra's first concert in Egypt.
The cover features the inimitable Sun Ra performing in Cairo in 1971, at the apartment of Cairo Jazz Band co-founder Ha…
xavisphone's debut for Modern Love hits with unrelenting energy; a hyper-kinetic, red-lining funk that joins dots between DJ Anderson do Paraiso’s darkside minimalism, Equiknoxx’s riddmic pressure and DJ Ramon Sucesso’s walloping delirium.
Essential 1967 garage-psych debut by Chocolate Watch Band, raw prototype of protopunk energy with volcanic guitar work and inflammatory vocals by Dave Aguilar channelling Jagger like nobody else. Distorted riffs, cosmic psychedelic legerdemain, killer covers of Stones material.
On Or Gare, Stine Janvin and Morten Joh slow time to a funereal crawl, reanimating Ryfylke’s “liksong” tradition as a ghost‑lit microtonal ritual where voices, synths and creaking percussion hover between lament, liturgy and quietly glowing electronics.
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** Evolution documents Grachan Moncur III stepping out as a composer‑leader with Lee Morgan on trumpet, Jackie McLean on alto, Bobby Hutcherson on vibes, Bob Cranshaw on bass, and Tony Williams on drums. The pieces blend post‑bop structures with freer approaches to metre and harmony, resulting in music that feels constantly tilted yet never topples. Moncur’s trombone leads themes that are by turns mournful, eerie, and boldly declamatory; the band responds with solos…
Tone Poet, the series created in 2019 to mark the 80th anniversary of the blue label, continues its releases. The Blue Note vinyl reissue collection was created with the intention of celebrating the musical and sonic journey of the great artists who have travelled their creative path in the grooves of the label's great albums, helping to make the brand a legend. The series stems from Don Was's (President of Blue Note) admiration for the exceptional reissues for true audiophiles produced by the i…
Orcutt Shelley Miller is an avant-rock trio comprised of three highly celebrated figures of experimental music: Bill Orcutt (Harry Pussy), Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) and Ethan Miller (Howlin Rain, Comets On Fire). Their debut self-titled album will be released September 5th on Silver Current Records.
** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On Total Eclipse, Bobby Hutcherson leads a band featuring Harold Land on reeds, Chick Corea on piano, Reggie Johnson on bass, and Joe Chambers on drums. The tunes are more expansive, the structures less immediately obvious; the interplay between vibes and saxophone often feels like a conversation unfolding on the spot. Even brighter passages seem to carry a shadow, a lingering sense of unresolved tension that Hutcherson’s solos trace without trying to dispel. Cor…
On Succès De Scandale, The New Blockaders exhume and reframe their own history, collaging a feral 1984 Morden Tower performance with later materials into a single, rust‑coloured slab of anti‑music that feels like the group’s original sabotage reactivated for the present.
** Lucky restock. Deluxe silver cover with foil embossing, LP. custom inner sleeve, insert. edition of 300 ** This great work has been totally forgotten until today - this record is in fact a world premiere, and the final act of justice towards a man that contributed so much to the birth and development of Electronic Music. In 1967 the painter Emilio Vedova was appointed by the Italian Government to create an installation for the Italian Pavilion of the Montreal Expo. Vedova came up with this gr…
Legendary French industrial pioneers Vox Populi! arrive on Dark Entries with a reissue of Sucre De Pastèque. Vox Populi! was founded in Paris in 1981 by Axel Kyrou, a multi-instrumentalist of Greek, French, and Palestinian roots. He soon recruited his future partner, Mitra, and her brother Arash Khalatbari, who were born in Iran and came to Paris in their teens, as well as bassist Fr6 Man (Francis Manne).
Their sound was motley, combining elements of musique concrete and early industrial with ho…
Wewantsounds is delighted to announce the first vinyl reissue of Disappointment–Hateruma, the 1976 ALM Records release by percussionist Toshi Tsuchitori and Ryuichi Sakamoto. The album is notable as Sakamoto's first recording issued under his own name and represents one of the few occasions he explored fully improvised music during the 1970s. It provides a vital document for understanding Sakamoto's early development as a composer and performer, capturing a period when he was experimenting with …
One of Brazilian music's most overlooked treasures returns to vinyl with the reissue of Osmar Milito's Nem Paletó, Nem Gravata, originally released in 1973 on the ATCO/Continental label. The album stands as a definitive document of Brazil's golden era of samba-jazz, capturing the effortless sophistication that defined Rio's musical landscape in the early 1970s.
Pianist and arranger Osmar Milito crafted an album that seamlessly blends breezy Bossa Nova with soulful samba grooves and the lush, orc…

** Special Time-Limited Offer ** On Point of Departure, Andrew Hill convenes a dream ensemble: Eric Dolphy on alto, bass clarinet, and flute, Joe Henderson on tenor sax, Kenny Dorham on trumpet, Richard Davis on bass, and Tony Williams on drums. Hill’s compositions bend conventional form with asymmetrical phrases, overlapping lines, and harmonies that hover between centres, creating a sense of forward motion as much psychological as rhythmic. Each soloist finds personal routes through these land…
