With Michaela Melián's LP music for a while, a-Musik is releasing the first album by the visual artist, co-founder of F.S.K., and solo musician since Monaco (MONIKA 079CD), which appeared on Monika Enterprise in 2013. While her last releases, Electric Ladyland (2016), Music from a Frontier Town (2018), and Tania (2022) were created as part of exhibitions and sound installations, music for a while is Melián's fourth autonomous LP, characterized on the one hand by her unmistakable dreamlike sound along the interfaces between dark chamber music, solemn ambient techno, and cinematic sound art. As with her previous albums, there is also a wonderful avant-pop cover version -- this time of the track "My Other Voice" (1979) by the Sparks. On the other hand, music for a while, whose cover is adorned with Melián's photographs of the clouds above her new home of Marseille, spreads a comparatively ominous mood, thanks in part to the sedate, almost ticking drum sounds of co-producer Felix Raethel. Once again, the multi-instrumentalist, supported by Ruth May on violin and Elen Harutyunyan on viola, weaves her recordings of various string instruments -- cello, guitar, bass, and zither -- into fascinating, lurching, looping, and almost hypnotic soundscapes, but atonal synthesizer sounds in tracks such as "traverse Benjamin" and "märchenwald" open up the music to electroacoustic and experimental music. The concluding cover version of Irving Berlin's "they say it's wonderful" (1946) rounds off one of this year's most impressive releases in an incomparably groovy and melancholic way.

AKU 1047LP
|
This music is the result of a friendship established in Mexico between Marius Houschyar, Fabio Levi, Mazatl Alvarez, and Mich Rubio who came together in the gardens of Central Mexico for spiritual and sonic exploration. All songs were recorded outside at the ranch of Mazatls father in Michoacán and the magical garden of the wise Abuelos in Mexico State between cactus plants and gigantic trees. The music contains mostly indigenous instruments such as flutes and ceremonial percussion instruments, as well as classical guitar, electric bass, a Persian Santoor and one small keyboard. The song texts are improvised prayers in English, Spanish and Nahuatl. Every recording session started with a guided meditation and ultimately turned into a spiritual journey. A psychedelic trip telling of holy lands, the great spirits that inhabit it and a newborn, yet ancient brotherhood.

The Alien Dub Orchestra is ragtag collective of Bavarian musicians, featuring members of The Notwist and G.Rag y los hermanos Patchekos. The cohort formed around the idea of performing the standards of the fabled Breadminster Songbook, aka the back-catalogue of lone dubman Elijah Minnelli. Minnelli is known for constructing wheezy, forlorn odes to his hometown, both as highly sought-after self-released 7" singles, and a critically-acclaimed debut album, Perpetual Musket for FatCat Records, lauded by the likes of The Guardian, The Wire, and The Quietus. Plays the Breadminster Songbook finds group covering Minnelli's cumbia-infused dub reggae with full band, playing an eclectic array of instruments including: guiro, accordion, melodica, sousaphone, trumpet and assorted percussion. The seeds of the Alien Dub Orchestra were sown during a support gig for The Notwist, where assorted musicians joined Minnelli for an encore, reinterpreting one of his dub remixes across woodwind, brass and assorted percussion. Despite the non-traditional origins of the source material, the inherent musicality of Minnelli's songwriting shines through across his releases, and this creative kinship is what attracted the Orchestra to reimagining his work. The first live collaboration led to recording sessions and further gigs, with the Orchestra building a full set of Minnelli's music. The resulting album puts forward the strongest case yet of the shared musical throughline between the acts, where cumbia, dub and folk sensibilities coalesce to something altogether unique. The tracks are wrought new, with melodies fleshed out and broader instrumentation expanding the sonic possibilities of the compositions. For these dubs, Minnelli is joined by Raimund Wong, who had caught his ear with his ambitious live sets, a daisy chain of tape machines and FX pedals. Again, despite their differing creative processes, the two bonded over a shared love of dub music.

When rock music from Germany gained international recognition under the label "krautrock" in the 1970s, it was far more than a mind-expanding phenomenon. In basements, youth centers, and improvised studios, a vibrant scene emerged-shaped by fearless curiosity and a strong will to transcend traditional musical structures. Some bands produced only a single recording; others became experimental platforms for established musicians or transient fixtures in local underground milieus. What united them was a desire to cross boundaries: rock met jazz, folk merged with electronics, soul touched the avantgarde. These intersections produced soundscapes that remain powerful documents of a creatively restless era. The recordings collected here reflect that spirit-not only from the krautrock period, but also from the decades that followed, including contributions from both Germany and Austria. Featuring Skyline, Psi, Toto Blanke, Ragawerk, Lychee Lassi, Abadie, Zoppo Trump, Epsilon, Radio Noisz Ensemble, Mocolage, Dschinn, Frob, Emotion, Join In, Morpheus, Opossum, Zyma, and The Terrible Two.

BEWITH 191LP
|
Hyper-limited ethereal ambient-guitar-soul, originally released on cassette only. First time ever vinyl release, on 140g vinyl. The phenomenally hyped Thought Leadership returns with another X ideas: the deck this time chooses the Ace of Swords. Originally out on cassette only, Be With presents the first ever vinyl issue. The sonic palate has been augmented by the addition of synth and bass; there are more guitar layers, more pedals and more organic drums this time -- a much fuller production. Still DIY, and still recorded straight to multitrack, just ever so slightly grander in scale; think a rough-hewn, long-lost Claremont 56 cut and you'll have some idea of how XI opens this future classic LP. The touchstones so key to the vision of Pentacles (Cocteau Twins, Dif Juz, Durutti Column) are all still present and correct; XII could be a piece from Extractions, XIII is pure Garlands-era Guthrie and, now with the shuffling jazz drums, XV makes TL even more LC -- but more disparate influences are found this time out too. ECM guitar legends John Abercrombie and Pat Metheny in the more considered melodic phrasing and harmonic structure of the ideas and a nod to the cosmic Balearic spirit in the overall vibe, means more is offered to the listener across Swords. Be With is honored to present the first ever vinyl release of Ace Of Swords, carefully remastered by Be With's engineer Simon Francis to ensure it sounds better than ever after its initial tape release. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut at Abbey Road Studios whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry, in Holland. The original tape cover artwork, so crucial to Thought Leadership's striking visual aesthetic, has been rejigged for vinyl issue here at Be With.

"With Live At The Star-Club Hamburg -- an ultimate Bear Family classic! -- Jerry Lee Lewis set the bar extremely high for any comparable releases. Accompanied by his tour band at the time, 'The Killer' works his way through a repertoire of his own classics such as 'Mean Woman Blues' and other hits like 'High-Heel Sneakers,' 'Who Will The Next Fool Be?', 'Hound Dog,' and 'Long Tall Sally.' Bear Family reissues the original Smash record as a 1:1 reproduction, re-mastered from the original stereo tapes and with the original cover art. As a bonus, a postcard with a photo of the artist is included. Anyone who likes rock and roll at the highest energy level will love this vinyl record! After Jerry Lee Lewis' sensational successes in the 1950s for the SUN Records label, things had quietened down for 'The Killer'. In 1958, the media and fans condemned his marriage to his underage cousin. In the spring of 1964, he toured the UK and Germany, playing in small clubs accompanied by local bands. In Hamburg, his energetic performance at the 'Star-Club' was recorded and released on LP -- ranked 16th in Rolling Stone's 2015 list of the '50 Greatest Live Albums of All Time.' Just a few months later, on July 18, 1964, Jerry Lee Lewis performed at the 'Municipal Auditorium' in Birmingham, Alabama, in front of 15,000 enthusiastic fans. Accompanied by his US tour band at the time, which later called itself The Memphis Beats (with James Hutcheson -- guitar, Larry Nichols -- organ, Herman Hawkins -- bass guitar, and Morris Tarrant -- drums), the 29-year-old pianist and singer set the stage on fire! Similar to the Nashville Teens in Hamburg, the Memphis Beats in Birmingham struggled to keep up with this burst of unbridled energy. The Star-Club album may sound a little more straightforward, but otherwise The Greatest Live Show On Earth is quite comparable to the legendary record from Hamburg, pounding piano, raunchy and raucous vocals, great backing."

BONF 027LP

A reissue of the masterpiece by the great French folk singer Veronique Chalot produced in the late 1970s by the Tuscan label Materiali Sonori, a collective with which Veronique collaborated for years. Celtic music and traditional Breton ballads presented in a new elegant guise, world music created when "world music" had not yet been invented. A fascinating sound, enriched by melodies that seem ancient but are actually timeless.

After a critically praised debut in 2023 and numerous tours across Europe, Yalla Miku returns with 2, a new record that further asserts their unique identity. Still based in Geneva, the band moves forward with a reimagined lineup -- not as a departure, but as the natural continuation of a project envisioned from the start as a space for encounters, movement, and musical reinvention. Blending post-kraut grooves, mutant folklore and electronic trance, Yalla Miku continues to spark dialogue between traditions from the Horn of Africa and the most unrestrained experiments of Geneva's underground. The krar riffs of Samuel Ades Tesfagergsh, the sculptural bass of Louise Knobil, the taut percussion of Cyril Bondi, the raw electronics of Emma Souharce, and Cyril Yeterian's modified banjo weave a dense, collective sonic fabric, full of sharp turns and rhythmic surges. There's no smooth fusion here, nor any fixed folklore: 2 is an interplanetary journey where multiple voices overlap, clash or complement each other. It's a music of otherness, built as a shared space where each texture keeps its own roughness. With this second album, Yalla Miku digs deeper into its sound: raw, militant, unclassifiable -- for curious ears and open hearts.

"First released on August 18, 2023, Outline of Nature started as an experiment in building a modular synthesizer system and ended up as a voltage-controlled outpouring of love for the natural world. Sylvan-born and pastoral-powered, sap-blooded and lightning-charged, this album grew out of the damp florescent corners of the woods, each note and sound, a fractal extension of their seedling sounds. It was nurtured into being at The Twilight Research Centre, a studio facility situated on the border of Somerset and Dorset. During Covid lockdown 1.0, I spent the outdoor hours we were permitted, wandering through the center's surroundings, in the green lanes, woodlands and corridors of the wilds with their wary and flickering inhabitants, beneath the distant eyes of the soaring buzzards and the hulking red kites. I didn't expect it, but it was in the quiet, ferociously vibrant dens of nature, that I found a deeply profound connection with the natural world. It once again made sense to feel as much a part of the woods as the trees were; I felt like a natural entity in its habitat again, not something I'd properly felt since running wild through the gullies, dells and fells of the Midlands as a child. And I became afflicted with a powerful urge to build strange electronic sound systems that were organic, chaotic, fractal and in some way reflective of the awesome natural systems that surround us and surround the center. I plugged in the modular, and went searching for signs of life. Adding to this, just before the lockdowns, I stumbled across a three-volume nature encyclopedia in a local charity shop, called Outline of Nature in the British Isles by Sir John Hammerton. The sub-heading reads 'A Comprehensive Photo-Survey of the Varied Life of Field and Hedgerow, Moor and Mountain, River, Pond and Sea,' and it's a stunning collection of grainy photographs, beautiful illustrations and wondrously poetic writing, some of which inspired track titles and of course, the album title. I also rekindled my love of Ladybird nature books such as the What to Look for in Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter series, Birds and How They Live and Butterflies, Moths and Other Insects, rebuilding a small collection I had as a child and discovering numerous volumes new to me. Between the two literary sources, I had a rich well of imagery, writing and pastoral nostalgia to draw from." --Twilight Sequence

According to the 6th-century Greek philosopher Anaximander, "apeiron" is a state of primal chaos. It is the limitless, undefinable everything from which all is created and the essential form back to which all will ultimately return. Apeiron constantly and infinitely creates the building blocks of everything, including all states of opposition such as heat and cold, dry and wet, only to then destroy and remake it all anew in a boundless, eternal cycle. It seems that humanity in the 21st century is living in a type of apeiron with social, political, technological and economic structures. One crisis is seemingly resolved only to be replaced with another. Alleged enemies become friends, only to return as enemies again. Technology creates solutions, but the unintended consequences of its application create a new set of problems to be surmounted. This creates a type of undefinable, constant anxiety. Nothing is certain and the cycle of creation and destruction of threats, fears and challenges remorselessly continues.

Hot off the heels of producing Benefits' critically acclaimed album Constant Noise, and following a continual flow of singles, collaborations, remixes, and EPs since 2022, former Pulled Apart By Horses guitarist turned electronic pathfinder James Adrian Brown presents Generator, featuring exclusive reworks/remixes from label mates Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan, Field Lines Cartographer, signature Phantasy Records artist James Welsh, and Werra Foxma. "Generator" is a pulsing, pumping, and energizing statement of intent that captures the spirit of Brown's long awaited conceptual debut. As its title suggests, the track embodies motion and motivation, reminding listeners that "we all need to generate energy to get things done in all walks of life." Reflecting on "Generator," Brown says: "'Generator' is about creating your own momentum and powering through life's challenges. We all have to find and build our own energy source to keep moving forward. For me, it's about resilience, staying true to your dreams, and making them real."

It's not a stretch to say that saxophonist and clarinetist Ken Vandermark's path into creative music was paved by Joe McPhee. In particular, McPhee's landmark 1976 LP Tenor -- recorded casually in a Swiss chalet and featuring four new compositions that effortlessly combined experimentation and lyricism -- was Vandermark's ear-opener. The two musicians would go on to begin a fruitful working relationship in 1996, a partnership that continues today, and now Vandermark has paid homage to his friend and mentor with a suite of compositions and improvisations. These solo works, performed on an array of horns (clarinet, bass clarinet, baritone and of course tenor saxophone), are as melodious and unapologetically beautiful as anything in Vandermark's oeuvre, interweaving tremendous swells of emotion and ingenious linear inventions. Vandermark played the six pieces in the suite in front of an invited audience at Corbett vs. Dempsey, the gallery's natural acoustic drawing out every nuance of his playing. He augmented the suite, each part of which is named for a flower with significance to McPhee or Vandermark, with several powerful free improvisations, all titled after "filler flowers," making the entire program a bouquet for Mr. McPhee. Exquisitely documented by Alex Inglizian, with cover art by Arch Connelly and liner notes by Vandermark.

Who was that masked man? This question is on many lips having seen and heard the Defiant Jazz episode of the hit TV show Severance, the one in which the show's protagonists are allowed a company dance party, accompanied by a light show and increasingly wild, funky, saxophone-driven music. The masked man? None other than Joe McPhee, Poughkeepsie, New York's best kept secret, one of the great figures of contemporary improvised music. A living legend looming large, you might say. And now a presence in households around the globe. This "taster" is more than a "best of" record. Defiant Jazz includes "Shakey Jake," the dance party track, a funky upsetter from 1970 that shimmies and rolls at the same time it builds and explodes. The vinyl-only compilation then moves across time, touching on another early track, the spiritual jazz classic "Astral Spirits," from the 1972 CJR LP Trinity and a 1983 version of the Sonny Rollins tune "Oleo" from the hat Hut LP of the same name, with psychedelic guitar outbursts courtesy of Raymond Boni. The second side opens with "I See You Baby Shakin' That Ass," a self-proclaimed "throwdown" with McPhee as emcee and flamethrowing saxophonist, fronting two bands, Cato Salsa Experience and The Thing. A dance floor jack-in-the-box for anyone unlucky enough not to have heard it yet. The program concludes with a sensitive tenor/drum duet between McPhee and Paal Nilssen-Love. The cover features previously unpublished vintage photos of McPhee. If you already know Mr. McPhee's music, this compilation is designed to fulfill, and if you're new to him, it will thrill and chill. Win-win.

By far a supergroup consisting of Shinki Chen (Speed, Glue and Shinki), Hiro Yanagida (Milk Time) and Hiro Tsunoda (Flied Egg), the band showed an incredible interplay on their nine instrumental pieces, generating a cult following aboard.

A generous and off-the-track psych-rock experiment, Space Hymns originally saw the light in 1971 on influential UK company Vertigo, home of the most forward-thinking prog bands of the time. Enlisting the pure genius of the future 10 CC Kevin Godley (drums, flute) and Lol Creme (lead guitar, synth), the band was led by esoteric frontman Ramases (aka Kimberly Barrington Frost). The vocalist had a vision in the mind to late sixties where the Egyptian Pharaoh informed him he was his new incarnation. Take a trip to the moon and back!

That's no mean feat! So, in early 2025 recording time was booked at Rochester's Ranscombe Studios, gin and snacks were prepared, and in the twinkling of an eye the backing tracks were down -- Thee Headcoats back in their best rhythm section mode and Thee Headcoatees back singing. Billy Childish took the reins as producer. Undaunted by some geographical hiccups along the way, by late May the result was a new Headcoatees album!"

Double LP version. 2025 restock; deluxe Stoughton gatefold packaging. Singles and demos, 1964 to 1967. "Following the amazing success story of Vashti Bunyan's recent re-emergence as an artist after an exile of over 30 years, comes the release of Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind, a comprehensive compilation of early recordings dating from the period prior to Vashti's classic Just Another Diamond Day album which was originally released1970. Titled after Vashti's (Jagger/Richards-penned) debut single which opens the compilation, this double-album represents an attempt to both open out and draw a line under the past, and also to try to set the record straight about the disparity between how Vashti viewed (and still views) herself against the way she has been popularly perceived. Widely construed as a folk singer -- a tag she fundamentally disagrees with - these recordings instead reveal Vashti as a pop singer, however 'fragile' and unique."
