VA	Spiritual Jazz 9: Blue Notes Parts One & Two	2CD	JAZZMAN RECORDS	JMAN 103CD
$17.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/15/2019 The Blue Note Record label needs little introduction. Musically, graphically and sonically iconic, the label created and defined the golden age of modern jazz on record. Founded in 1939 by German émigré Alfred Lion, the label's roster of artists is a litany of giants -- Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins, Horace Silver, Lee Morgan, Art Blakey, Lee Morgan, Herbie Hancock, and many more. With peerless musicians in the grooves, the legendary Rudy Van Gelder behind the boards, and graphic design genius Reid Miles creating emblematic artwork for every release, Blue Note -- "the Cadillac of the jazz lines" -- was outstanding in every way. Volume 9 of Jazzman's ground-breaking Spiritual Jazz series takes a close look at the deeper side of Blue Note -- from the experimental avant-garde explored by younger musicians such as Bobby Hutcherson, Joe Henderson, and Pete La Roca, to the exciting new developments in modal sounds put forward by stalwarts Hank Mobley, Jackie McLean, and Duke Pearson. The music we have selected shows how musicians working with the label responded to a period of dramatic social and sonic change, charting the route toward the esoteric and spiritualized sounds that would dominate the deepest jazz of the 1970s. As ever, Blue Note had lit the path, and this new Spiritual Jazz collection shows that the progressive and underground jazz sound of the 1960s was not only the preserve of obscure artists and private pressings. Blue spirits and heavy sounds on Blue Note -- the finest in jazz since 1939, brought to you by Jazzman. Available as a double-CD set, Parts One & Two (JMAN 103CD). Part One features: Bobby Hutcherson, Pete Laroca, Wayne Shorter, Elvin Jones, Andrew Hill, Eddie Gale, Duke Pearson, Bobby Hutcherson, Duke Pearson, and Freddie Hubbard. Part Two features: Joe Henderson, Jackie McLean, Duke Pearson, Wayne Shorter, Hank Mobley, Pete La Roca, Freddie Hubbard, Booker Ervin, and Solomon Ilori.

$23.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/15/2019 For some time now in the continual hunt for new DJ material to play in the jazz scene, Staubgold have been coming across great tracks by current artists that are often only available on digital or CD format, and have been cutting dubplates so the label can play them in jazz dance gigs.

VA	Two Tribes	CD	AGOGO RECORDS	AR 113CD
$16.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 2/1/2019 "European music culture has never been closed, on the contrary -- it has always integrated influences from all other parts of the world. Two Tribes makes an effort to give insight in how musicians living in Europe today incorporate and transfer musical traditions particularly from the African continent into their own oeuvre. Featured on Two Tribes are a broad range of constellations, ranging from musicians with roots in African countries who reside in Europe to collaborations between European and African artists. Musically our compilation tries to capture at least a part of the enormous diversity that contemporary music from Europe of this kind has to offer. The spectrum ranges from classical 'songs' using traditional instruments from both continents to electronic productions that combine musical heritage with current club culture. Our selection can only be a musical snapshot since there is so much movement in this genre at the moment. As you can hopefully see and hear, the leitmotif while compiling Two Tribes was to keep an eye on the ease of handling different cultural influences amongst the featured artists. It was important to us that the included music doesn´t just copy African music styles one to one but has an own handwriting and builds a bridge between the musical legacy of both continents. With all the track included, we have found a number of great examples and decided to showcase twelve of them on this first volume. The music included refers to the musical traditions of Senegal, Kenya, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Ethiopia, Morocco, Zimbabwe and South Africa amongst others. The involved musicians are spread all over Europe, from Finland to Great Britain, Italy, England, France and Portugal to Germany. Be it organic or electronic music, we think that all of the tracks really deserve your ear!" --Tobi Kirsch and Ubbo Gronewold, June 2018

VA	Donaueschinger Musiktage 2017	2CD/SACD	NEOS	NEOS 11826-27CD
$28.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/18/2019 The Donaueschingen Festival has been documented regularly by NEOS for many years. In the 2017 edition, the premiere of "Un calendrier révolu for 14 instruments" by Emmanuel Nunes is a particular highlight.

VA	Dots & Pearls 5	2x12"	COCOON	COR 045LP
$26.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/18/2019 To celebrate the turn of the year, Cocoon Recordings presents the fifth edition of the Dots & Pearls anthology, which has been offering an exclusive glimpse into Cocoon's treasure trove of demos at irregular intervals since 2011. Once again, the eight tracks on show represent a comprehensive snapshot of the current state of club music as 2018 fades into 2019, combining established stars of the scene with eye-catching newcomers to create a harmonious overall package. First up is Berlin production team youANDme, who have been an integral part of the capital's club life for over ten years as well as running the Rotary Cocktail label. Their epic floor filler "Claret Loss" kicks off the compilation with a refreshingly reduced yet deep tech-house showpiece as the "ear circus" begins. In fact, that's the name of the next track by promising debutant Florian Hollerith. "Ohrenzirkus" amazes with a bone-dry bass drum accompanied by an insect squadron and atonal orchestra horns. Little wonder that this bold homage with its sonic claim to immortality also takes pride of place on Sven Väth's Sound of the 19th Season (CORMIX 059CD). Geneva based, Cadenza producer Quenum then reels in the acoustic madness with the elegant, metallic percussion of "Blue Mountain", while Croatian mastermind Petar Dundov takes the listener into a highly emotional state of weightlessness with the typically anthemic "Pyroelectric". Next, Systematic label boss Marc Romboy scores with "Sequential Error", a perpetually growing ball of energy that lights the way to the dancefloor. In the midst of the mayhem, Italian newcomer Blackrachas offers up a slice of Mediterranean serenity with his snare opus "Paracasta", while veteran DJ and producer Emanuele Inglese from Rome demonstrates his special expertise for dancefloor hedonism with a flurry of modulated sequential breaks on the track "Rain". Finally, Bastian Bux of Barcelona-based label Suara, who recently also featured on John Digweed's Bedrock imprint, offers a fitting finale to the compilation with the melodic techno hymn "Inner You". Dots & Pearls 5 is set to be an indispensable part of your life.

VA	Midnight In Tokyo Vol. 3	CD	STUDIO MULE	STUDIOMUL 012CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/18/2019 Midnight In Tokyo is a compilation series that aims to be the perfect companion to nights in Tokyo, collecting tracks by Japanese artists that sound best at night. Vol. 2 (STUDIOMUL 006CD/LP, 2018) focused more on '80s jazz fusion, but the latest installment, Vol. 3, picks up where Vol. 1 (STUDIOMUL 001CD/LP, 2018) left off, bringing together forgotten soul, disco, and new wave gems. The compilation opens with Japanese rare groove classic "More Sexy," a provocative song by Yoko Hatanaka. "Kimi No Yume," from the album Yume No Yonbai (1984) by Masumi Hara, is one of the best Balearic acid folk songs to come from Japan. "Silhouette Call" is an electric bossanova track in the vein of Antena, from a rare album called Octopussy (1982) by Yuki Nakayamate, a singer-songwriter who worked with Motoharu Sano. "Theme Of High School Student" is a dubby cut featured in the Japanese film Kougen Ni Ressha Ga Hashitta (1984), written by Atsuo Fujimoto (Colored Music), one of the key artists in the recent wave of global interest in Japanese music. "Get To Paradise" is a stone-cold funk jam by Mari Kaneko, who was known as the Janis Joplin of Shimokitazawa. Following that is one of Japan's greatest new wave disco tracks, "Hannya", taken from Tomoko Aran's popular third album Fuyu-Kukan (1983) produced by Masatoshi Nishimura, who was part of Friends Of Earth with Haruomi Hosono. Masako Miyazaki, whose rendition of Seawind's "He Loves You" is a fan favorite, puts her own spin on Earth, Wind & Fire's "Fantasy," singing in her accent-heavy English, giving the song an undeniable character. "Watashi No Koukoku" is a certified disco-boogie classic by Junko Sakurada. The Brazilian-esque jazz fusion, "Sunshine Bright On Me" is by fusion group Kangaroo, who were often billed as "the japanese Shakatak". "Stranger's Night" is a synth-pop number by Maiko Okamoto, which bears a suspicious resemblance to Rah Band's "The Shadow Of Your Love". Electro-pop disco "Singing Lady", off the sole album by The Fad sounds like something Giorgio Moroder could've cooked up. "Magic Eyes" is a disco anthem recorded by Tetsuji Hayashi's disco project, The Eastern Gang. Following that is Japanese soul gem "Crazy Baby," found on a rare 7" entitled Minato No Soul by Rinda Yamamoto also composed and arranged by Tetsuji Hayashi. Closing out this collection of 14 Japanese rare groove goodies is "I'm In Love", a bittersweet mellow dance number by Tomoko Aran.

VA	Vom Sprengen des Gartens	CD	NEOS	NEOS 11809CD
$15.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/18/2019 Intensity and precision of expression alongside brevity of form are particular sources of fascination for the soprano Katrin Frauchiger and the pianist Katharina Weber when it comes to the composition and interpretation of songs. Here they come together with Jürg Wyttenbach. With their rather simple character, his eight duettini are not entirely typical of his work, but in these pieces, all of which last between 34 and 71 seconds, he reveals himself once again as a master of concentrated theatrical effect. His cycle "Drei kurze Gebete an die japanische Göttin der Barmherzigkeit Kannon Bosatsu" ("Three Short Prayers to the Japanese Goddess of Compassion Kannon Bosatsu") is tailor-made for the Frauchiger-Weber duo and dedicated to them. Aside from Wyttenbach's songs, the CD also includes works by the two performers, as well as rarely-performed longs by Hanns Eisler and Alban Berg's "Seven Early Songs", rounding off the selection with musical contrasts. Songs by Jürg Wyttenbach, Katrin Frauchiger, Katharina Weber, Hanns Eisler, and Alban Berg. Personnel: Katrin Frauchiger - soprano; Katharina Weber - piano.

VA	American Noise Vol. 2	LP	DIRTNAP RECORDS	ZZZ 157LP
$20.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/18/2019 "American Noise Vol. 2 is the anticipated second limited edition vinyl release soundtrack companion to The Smart Studios Story, a groundbreaking documentary about the history of Madison, Wisconsin's Smart Studios and its role in recording and supporting DIY / independent music in the Midwest. The critically acclaimed film chronicles thirty years of Midwest rock history and links early indie bands to the larger story of American rock history. While American Noise Vol 1 shared the earliest Butch Vig recordings of local, unsigned bands, Vol 2 includes artists who traveled from other scenes in the US to record at the fledgling studio between 1987 and 1993. This era coincides with the growing reputation of producers Butch Vig and Steve Marker -- two self-taught, DIY studio owners whose skills took the raw sound of local bands and created polished, powerful analog recordings. Through touring bands, college radio, and The Sub Pop Singles Club, their early work, most notably with Killdozer and Die Kreuzen, caught the attention of credible indie labels like Sub Pop, Touch And Go, and Alternative Tentacles. Following the release of Nirvana's pivotal Nevermind, both Vig and the studio received an explosion of attention. More and more artists sought to record with him and many of them wanted to do it in the crumbling, two-story red brick building on East Washington Avenue. All of the tracks on American Noise Vol. 2 come out of this period. Sonically, it spans the broad spectrum of Smart's clientele at the time. Pop, acoustic, beat and the heaviest of heavy, chuck full of dirt, growl and thump the way Smart was always able to deliver."

VA	391 Vol. 6: Veneto Voyage Through The Deep 80s Underground In Italy	2CD	SPITTLE RECORDS	SPITTLE 1005CD
$25.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/18/2019 "391 Vol. 6: Veneto Voyage Through The Deep 80s Underground In Italy is the sixth stage of Spittle's series Journey Through The Italian Underground. It is the product of a year-and-a-half of work, of research, tapes, rustles, and distortions, trying to describe what happened in Veneto in the '80s. As with the other 391 Series compilations, this is not a "best of" but an inclusive compilation with both forgotten groups and unreleased material from essential pieces of the Italian post-punk history such as Death In Venice, Degada Saf, Frigidaire Tango, Plasticost, Ruins, and Wax Heroes." --Gianlorenzo Giovannozzi "Back in the mid-seventies, while the punk cyclone was resetting the whole music business system, a new music consciousness was taking shape; a change was needed. We had to regain the lost sense of rock music, taking back its primitive identity, throwing it into the future and waking up the soul of those who thought that music was something for just a few elected ones. Post punk or in a larger sense, new wave, represented a revolution, and our generation was caught in this revolution. This was some kind of intellectual rebirth where for once, a new social momentum seemed to be shaped by the music. This compilation consists of 42 unreleased tracks by semi-unknown bands, orphans for about 30 years until an audience who could appreciate their authenticity. Far from every commercial purpose, this is a pure manifesto of what we could call a flood of creativity. A revolution in music and style, in which, thank god, we were a part." --Carlo Casale, Frigidaire Tango Also features: Pyramids, Evabraun, Blue Velvet, S.P.R.A.Y., Vco, Plastic Bags, Homework Tape Production, Endless Nostalgia, Radar, Hunt's Up, Steve Elbow & Twist 92, New Design, Qfwfq, Bobby Watson, Plastic Flowers, Cruel Bolero, Domino Noir, Isolamento, Lynx Avenue, Art Déco, I Nipoti Del Faraone, Morrowyellow, Luxure, End Of Carnival, Art Core, Fru Aut, Wax Doll, Sybil Vane, Plague Pavillon, The Shadow Of A Doubt, Scent Merci, Hellvispravo, Inside Loneliness, Opium Club, Marginal Note, and Alejas.

VA	A Creak Retimed	LP	PSYCHE TROPES	TROPES 003LP
$23.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 1/18/2019 A Creak Retimed is a collection of tape reworks of Howlround's original soundtrack from A Creak In Time, directed by Steven McInerney, featuring adaptations and reconstructions by Tom White, Merkaba Macabre, Dan Hayhurst, Ian Helliwell, and Howlround. The film component has been reworked from 16mm film reels that did not make the final cut, resulting in a zero-waste film project. Ian Helliwell is a self-taught multi-media artist, working in music, film, animation, analog electronics, instrument building, collage, installations, live performance, light show projection, writing, and film programming. He has made over 100 experimental films -- one of the largest bodies of shorts in the world to feature electronic music soundtracks by one artist. Howlround is comprised of Robin The Fog, a London-based sound artist and radio producer. He creates unique, immersive compositions and performances by directly manipulating natural acoustic sounds on a quartet of vintage reel-to-reel tape machines, with all additional effects and artificial reverb strictly forbidden. For this soundtrack, he has created his most ambitious work yet, made entirely from tiny and insignificant sounds, that, when amplified and extended via magnetically charged oxide particles of the tape, take on a dramatic new identity. Tom White is a London-based artist. His multidisciplinary practice spreads across sound, moving image, installation, and live performance. He won the British Composer Award in 2014 (Sonic Art) for Public Address, commissioned by South London Gallery. He curates Apologies in Advance; a platform for artist's work in progress performances founded in 2016. Dan Hayhurst is an electronic producer, molecularly 50% of A/V duo Sculpture. The chaotic physicality of Hayhurst's sonics are the result of unstable permutations of tape loops, no-fi electronics, and digital sequences played with a battered reel-to-reel tape recorder, computer, walkman, sampler, and FX units. Merkaba Macabre is a multimedia project by Steven McInerney, an Australian born artist based in London. His practice ranges from audiovisual and musical performance, installation, experimental film and video works, and curatorial activities. McInerney runs Psyché Tropes, a label dedicated to exploring the synaesthetic intersections between sound and its visual counterparts. 180 gram, toxic yellow vinyl; Edition of 275.

VA	New Tape	LP	SONOR MUSIC EDITIONS	SME 056LP
$33.00 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/14/2018 Founded in early '70s by historical RAI TV trumpeter and composer Cicci Santucci (Looking Around (1971), On The Underground Road (1971)), New Tape grew up during the golden period of Italian music production and was dedicated to experimentation of new forms of sound, always hailing from the solid jazz base of the musicians and inspired by theme music. Andrea Galtieri aka Cavalier Piscopo has sequenced the very best shots from the label's production and included exclusive liner notes, creating an explosive mix of jazz-rock, bossa, spellbinding grooves, and raw experimental stuff. "A leading figure in the Italian jazz scene, Santucci worked as trumpeter in the legendary RAI TV orchestra for over 20 years. He was renowned for collaborations with such jazz legends as Lionel Hampton, Gato Barbieri, and Kenny Clarke, until his foray into the avant-garde with The Living Music, a project founded by his brother Umberto. During these same years, he took part in important Italian jazz sessions like Looking Around and On The Underground Road, with Enzo Scoppa. It was just around this period that Cicci founded his own label, New Tape. His goal was to dedicate himself to composing library music with a new expression, less linked to hard bop or American standards, but more focused on the sounds of the time that brought the listener closer to modern vibes, like jazz-rock and the avant-garde. Mixed Grill opens this series, by the maestro's alias, Girosan, along with Lesiman (aka Paolo Renosto). Rengran Mix (1971) and Tropical (1972) followed, with music by Renosto and Romolo Grano. This work gave way to electronic instrumentation, and was built on a rich rhythmical carpet -- tropical percussion, rock and blues-inspired vibes, sleazy psych, and jazz improvisations. The label's most important production was the fourth album, Mirage (1971) by Santucci and Enzo, an explosive mix of elegant jazz, funk, and psychedelia. The last album of the series is Appunti Di Guerra (1971) by the mysterious Ruscigan, an obscure alias which probably belongs to Renosto and Guido Baggiani. This work features complex and dramatic sounds composed for war scenes and gloomy atmospheres, with a large assortment of percussion, distorted effects, and tape manipulation, foreshadowing industrial music. With pressings of only 100 copies per title, New Tape is among the most interesting discoveries to date in terms of original production library music." --Andrea Galtieri. Edition of 500, 180 gram vinyl in heavy cardboard packaging.

VA	Snapshot: Jazz Now Jazz Aus Der DDR	2LP	SONG CYCLE RECORDS	CY 992LP
$42.00 IN STOCK Song Cycle presents a reissue of Snapshot: Jazz Now Jazz Aus Der DDR, originally released on FMP in 1980. In August 1979, East German musicians were invited to perform a three-day festival in West Berlin. Billed as "Jazz Now," this landmark meeting was recorded and initially released in a limited edition. From stunning duos to challenging small-group performances, from large rave-ups to Mingus nods, Snapshot: Jazz Now Jazz Aus Der DDR provides much more than that name suggests. It's as complete a portrait of jazz in the GDR as one is ever likely to find, and a moment in time that continues to reverberate -- via these sounds -- today. Features: Berliner Improvisations Quartett, Gumpert/Sommer Duo, Friedhelm Schönfeld Trio, Ulrich Gumpert Workshop Band, Studio IV, Gumpert/Sommer and Manfred Hering, Ernst-Ludwig Petrowsky Quartett, and Hans Rempel Orchester.

VA	In Death's Dream Kingdom	4LP	HOUNDSTOOTH	HTH 084LP
$37.50 PREORDER RELEASE DATE: 12/14/2018 Houndstooth, the artist-led label from London's renowned fabric nightclub and label, delivers a new compilation, In Death's Dream Kingdom. T.S. Eliot published The Hollow Men in 1925, yet his poem feels as relevant as ever, given its apocalyptic overtones and claustrophobic, despondent air. Twenty six artists producing the cream of leftfield electronic music have been given a brief: to take the phrase In Death's Dream Kingdom, or the whole of Eliot's poem as inspiration. The result is a compilation that features original tracks from Lanark Artefax, Pan Daijing, Gazelle Twin, and Fever Ray co-producer Peder Mannerfelt, among others. Vibrating with vivid sonic references, the poem is a feast for the ears, which makes it a ripe subject for musical interpretation. Not an album in the traditional sense, it brings together a seriously diverse array of talents into a coherent whole with a vivid aesthetic reverberating through it. It occupies a similar space to the great home listening electronica acts of the '90s: FSOL, Global Communication, the Artificial Intelligence axis. But there are no throwbacks here; this is radical in sound and thought. Dark music for dark times. Features the apocalyptic artwork of Rotterdam-based artist Jazz Szu-Ying Chen. Cut and mastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy. Also features: Otto Lindholm, Petit Singe, Tomoko Sauvage, Pye Corner Audio, Sophia Loizou, Abul Mogard, Par Grindvik, Koenraad Ecker, Roly Porter, Hodge, Shapednoise, ASC, Batu, We Will Fail, Peter Van Hoesen, Spatial, Yves De Mey, Mindspan, Kangding Ray, ZOV ZOV, Ian William Craig, and Christophe De Babalon.
