ABDT 063LP
|
Alan Bishop's solo persona appears again from his now 15-year-old home of Cairo where it was recorded in and around many other projects over the past few years. And unlike his more recent singer/songwriter material, Malarial Dream drifts closer to latter day Sun City Girls (Mister Lonely/Funeral Mariachi) amidst a melodic Middle Eastern and beyond psych-warped folk setting. Mostly instrumental and, except for two obscure covers, original compositions that feature a cast of extraordinary players: Adham Zidan, Aya Hemeda, Cherif El Masri, and Morgan Mikkelsen (The Invisible Hands), Maurice Louca and Sam Shalabi (The Dwarfs of East Agouza), Amelie Legrand, Asher Gamedze, Eyvind Kang, Hana Al Bayaty, Huda Asfour, and Sammy Sayed. LP Limited to 500 copies. Produced by Alvarius B. and Adham Zidan.

ASH 711LP

2026 restock. "With his honeyed falsetto, Horace Andy has long been considered one of roots reggae's most inimitable voices. His signature tune, 'Skylarking,' is one of a handful of songs that can be instantly recognized by even the most casual of reggae fans. Making his debut with producer and mentor Phil Pratt at the age of sixteen, Andy's expressive vocal style is immediately distinctive, bearing the soulful influence of American artists Otis Redding and Smokey Robinson as well as fellow countryman Alton Ellis. 1975's Get Wise collects a series of singles produced by Pratt including versions of hits 'Money, Money' ('Root Of All Evil') and 'Zion Gate' ('I Don't Want To Be Outside'). Recorded between 1972 and 1974, these sides were captured at legendary studios Channel One, Black Ark, Dynamic Sound and Randy's Studio 17 with house engineers Ernest Hoo Kim, Lee Perry, Carlton Lee and Errol Thompson at the helm. Originally released on Pratt's Sunshot label, the album doubles as a showcase for The Soul Syndicate Band, a typically ad-hoc session group which featured Sly & Robbie, Aston 'Family Man' Barrett and Earl 'Chinna' Smith, among others. Get Wise delivers ten tracks of Andy's finest material and should be in the collection of any aficionado of the classic '70s Kingston sound. Liner notes by JR Gonne."

Providing the questions are considered with honesty, the true meaning of what 'Space' refers to becomes revealed. There are no right or wrong answers, just reactions based on your view and angles on the mechanisms of life." -- Millsart (Jeff Mills)

BJR 123LP
|
LP version. With Heat, Société Étrange extends its work around repetition, groove and cyclic structures, shaping an instrumental music that is both hypnotic and enveloping. Without any radical shift, the Lyon-based trio subtly moves towards more melodic and more cinematic forms, revealing warmer, more textured and sometimes more luminous atmospheres. Formed by Antoine Bellini (electronics), Romain Hervault (bass) and Jonathan Grandcollot (drums), Société Étrange builds here a more diffuse trance, driven by generally slower tempos than on Chance (BJR 075CD, 2022). Organic drums interact with drum machines and layers of synthesizers, while the bass carries both pulse and melodic lines. The music breathes more, leaving space for silences and micro-variations, and unfolds as an immersive listening experience. With Heat, the band explores a strange form of instrumental pop, without formats or choruses, nourished by an imaginary close to soundtracks and narrative electronic music. A warm and hypnotic album, where repetition becomes texture, tension turns into atmosphere, and each track draws its own sonic landscape.

CS 013LP

2026 restock; LP version. A collaboration forged in the heart of the American Midwest, In The Earth Again unites Oklahoma City's noise rock institution Chat Pile with Texas/Oklahoma's visionary guitarist and composer Hayden Pedigo. What began as a casual split release idea spiraled into a thirty-six-minute album that threads their contrasting sensibilities into something entirely new. Pedigo's panoramic, primitive guitar, meets Chat Pile's industrial decay, creating a record that explores unknown emotional registers and atmospheric depth for both, In The Earth Again sounds like a post-apocalyptic transmission from rural nowhere. Instead of making concessions, the five artists work as a single unit, and each decision is made in support of the greater vision. The result is both intimate and expansive, a tribute to the modern wasteland. Cover art by Malcom Byers.

Dienne creates hazy pieces of music full of the melancholy of remembrance and loss combining analog instruments with reverb-drenched vocals and shimmers of processed electronic sources. Her new album Conducturis emerges as a sensory exploration of the human spirit and the boundless horizons of artificial intelligence. "Abundant in beauty and rich in disturbances" serves as the guiding principle for Belgian composer, Dienne, as she builds songs and soundscapes that portray the images and stories that play behind her eyes. Combining analog instruments like the oboe, the piano, and the flute with reverb-drenched vocals and shimmers of processed electronic sources, she creates hazy pieces of music full of the melancholy of remembrance and loss. Her debut album Addio (OP 067LP, 2022) was released on Nicolás Jaar's Other People imprint. Addio is a 32-minute study on loss and mourning. Following the death of her grandmother due to Covid-19, and unable to say a proper goodbye due to travel restrictions, Dienne set out to give her "Addio" through musical form. The result is a deeply intimate work that channels classical instrumentation through foggy electronic experimentation. Her second album, Conducturis, accompanies an immersive film installation delving into speculative fiction, conceptualized by Mira Sanders and Cédric Noël. Conducturis is an immersive film installation project that delves into the realms of speculative fiction, employing the cinematic language of the road movie to envision the ramifications of constructing an artificial brain within the Swiss landscape. Following their encounters with key figures in the Human Brain Project during an art research expedition in Geneva from 2019 to 2020, conceptualized by Cédric Noël and Mira Sanders, they stumbled upon a remarkable discovery: a hidden fiber-optic cable linking Geneva to Lugano. Anchored at both ends by the Human Brain Project in Geneva and the CSCS (Centre Suisse de Calcul Scientifique) in Lugano, this conduit facilitated the transmission of intricate brain simulations from the imposing computational hub in Lugano to Geneva via a "superconductor" cable. Guided by the principle of being "abundant in beauty and rich in disturbances", Dienne embarks on a sonic exploration of the Swiss landscape, translating its ethereal beauty and technological wonders into evocative musical compositions. Printed inner sleeve; includes 8p art booklet.

Sexy Tears is a bold departure from Tristanne's (fka Tristan) critically acclaimed pop-jazz debut Wellif and lets you veer into uncharted territory, from the first tone, the bittersweet and haunting violin tones fade in on opener "Steady Mouth." In a split second, Tristanne lets you vanish in a dazzling matrix deep down a rabbit hole, a place where Piero Umiliani's '70s sleazy giallo era sensually resonates with Oneothrix Point Never goldwave frequencies. With a whisper of panting tension, her soothing voice and sonic subliminal temptation she unravels her own lush love secret domain, unlocking deeply hidden lost emotions and mutated feelings. While mellifluous harp chords in "If Only" set a scene for a tantalizing new world utopia the percussive clutter of "Whordus" syncopes and mutate this future dream with a chiastic slide into a videodrome for a jilted generation. With the help from her musician friends Elisabeth Klinck (violin), Indr Jurgeleviit (kanklès), Kaat Vanstralen (flute) and Gert Malfliet (drums), Tristanne's Sexy Tears will hit you straight in the heart, like a modern-day Cupido with a well-aimed dazzling sonic arrow. Ready to stay there forever.

"Like a lightning strike that travels through time, White Fence are all of a sudden cracking in the hear-view mirror again. Orange hits like, visceral. Guitars sound and like a shower spray forth. Resolutely picked. Cold and soothing. Swivelin' thru the jagged, jittery pop sounds of the '60s-'00s, the sharped focus of Orange's rock sonics gives Tim Presley exactly what he needed the most: open space to sing into, and songs to sing. The rest is White Fence magik at its most dark, as Tim's restless free-allusivation trippifyingly transforms the cramped confines of heart wracked self-excoriation right before our eyes and ears! In pop songs. On (the mixing) board with White Fence/on the (drum) kit with Tim is Ty Segall. Engineering tactics fully hand-in-glove with the White Fence intent, they produce a clean and uncrowded space to mount up all the rock 'n balladry, their clean lines surrounded by an emphatic/unalterable (minimalist) frame. Tim's lyric sets and chord progressions, with their perspectives, time codes and smash cuts, give up eleven fleeting glimpses from the other side of the 'Fence, each outfitted as foot-forward pop tunes for maximum rock 'n roll. Playing with genre throughout the album like a space-age Kinks, Tim's natty wordplay splatters against the songs' rock-solid edifice, spilling an infinitum of cracked, shaggy realities, billowing, mirrored, sharded. When it all moves, you move, and that's fun. Orange is an unstill life; a bowlful of Tim's latest conceptions for guitar band, grown larger through thoughts, feelings, SONGS and some keys and synth from Alice Sandhal (+ 2 drum cameos from the ever-righteous Dylan Hadley). A trance-like chronology of consciousness, captured in opalescent diamond tightness and ice fidelity at Ty's Harmonizer II studio. It's a KILLER. White Fence is Orange on time this time!"

Dang dut is the biggest musical genre in Indonesia. Dangdut, onomatopoetic name from the sound of hand drums used in this type of music, is what reggae to Jamaicans, country to Americans or skiffle to mid-20th century British people. And in this genre of dang dut, the name Rhoma Irama looms large. He is to this day the undisputable king of dang dut and his role as pioneer of the music is already in the history book. Most of Rhoma's well-known compositions may have been influenced by Indian tunes but some of his best quality works owed much to the West. Rhoma had long found home in Western pop music. In the early 1960s, after honing his guitar playing skill, Rhoma set up his first band Gayhand to play the tunes of The Beatles, Paul Anka, and Tom Jones. Yet, nothing changed Rhoma's fortune in the music industry, to a point where he decided to leave pop and switched to playing Orkes Melayu (Malay Orchestra) music, first with Orkes Melayu Purnama and later with Soneta Group. His career soon took off with Soneta, especially after he introduced what ethnomusicologist William H. Frederick considered as "theatre", through which Rhoma borrows many elements from stage performances of British and American rock bands. These elements, kitsch and pomp, he liberally adopted and became an inseparable part of dangdut itself; tight pants, long hair, platform shoes, glitter and glamour which would not be out of place in Elton John and David Bowie stage show. From technical point of view, Rhoma not only replaced the acoustic elements from Melayu Music with electric instruments but also created new synthetic sounds that has never been attempted before in Indonesia's music industry. Notice how Rhoma reproduced funk, which is all the rage in early 1970s, in the song "Santai" (Relax), this album's closer, or "Credit Title (Instrumentalia)" which opens this Darah Muda (Young Blood) soundtrack. The rubbery bass lines that open both songs can easily find home in any Sly and the Family Stone's or Isaac Hayes' tunes from that era. The 13 tracks contained in this compilation Begadang: Soneta Group Best Songs, 1975-1980 are some the most innovative music that came out of Indonesia's music scene in the 1970s, tunes that has cemented Rhoma Irama's status as the king of the genre. Only 500 copies were pressed for this compilation.

The award-winning film Vengeance Is Mine, All Others Pay Cash (2021) is romantic drama set in a working-class neighborhood of Indonesia's West Java. Although the story was set in the 1980s, the film's music director Dave Lumenta didn't want to use music from that period. He didn't want to automatically go with dangdut, the musical genre, a mix of Malay, Indian and modern pop music, the music of choice for majority Indonesia's working class. He simply didn't want the film to be stuck in the time setting and the social class. The film's scoring is richer, inspired not only by dangdut, but also by rock. In order for his imagination to be free of that time and social context, he decided to make music that was based on the film's characters. Lumenta was interested in vulnerability, because it's something the audience finds in the main character Ajo Kawir, an impotent who is unable to have an erection. Iteung, on the other hand, is someone who is very liberal in terms of her sexuality, but she also struggles with a traumatic past. The film successfully portrays the clash of these two characters. And from identifying these two characters, the composer creates a melody or leitmotif that represents each character. The use of analogue instruments is consistent with the film's spirit, which is shot using analogue camera. Lumenta created the music using acoustic instruments, such as the recorder, along with other sounds from an analogue synthesizer. The sound produced may not be perfect, similar to the grainy quality of an analogue film. But it is precisely due to that imperfection that the eyes and ears are compelled to watch and listen actively; listeners must squint to catch something more perfect, or listen closely to filter out imperfections in the sound. Consuming art created with analogue tools requires a different method of listening, watching, and working process.

"The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Water From An Ancient Well features the pianist/composer with a very strong septet. Such superior musicians as tenor saxophonist Ricky Ford, altoist Carlos Ward, baritonist Charles Davis, and trombonist Dick Griffin are heard at their most creative and emotional on these eight Ibrahim originals. Many of the melodies are among Ibrahim's finest compositions."

After a 30-year interstellar silence, the enigmatic producer Alien Signal -- pioneering alias of Italian electronic composer Alex Silvi -- reemerges with Whispers from Distant Suns, a transcendent odyssey that bridges retro-futurism and modern electronica. Hailed as a magnum opus, this album transcends genre boundaries, captivating ambient purists, downtempo aficionados, and even experimental listeners with its hypnotic fusion of analog warmth and digital precision. Whispers from Distant Suns marries nostalgic synth textures with cutting-edge production. Silvi's mastery of melody shines through in tracks like "Stardust Memories" and "Fragile Eden" where shimmering arpeggios and celestial pads drift over robotic, glitch-infused drum patterns and sparse, meditative percussion. The result is a paradox: a retro-futuristic soundscape that feels simultaneously ancient and alien, familiar yet unexplored. Pressed on heavyweight vinyl, the album's physical release amplifies its immersive qualities. The gatefold sleeve, adorned with surrealist astrophotography and metallic foiling, mirrors the music's cosmic ethos. This album is a testament to Silvi's evolution. Whispers from Distant Suns is more than an album -- it's a transcendent odyssey. Spanning time, space, and the artist's own creative evolution, this immersive work invites listeners to lose themselves in its ebb and flow. Designed for moments both intimate and expansive, its balearic-tinged atmospheres resonate equally through dawnlit Mediterranean terraces or the solitary glow of headphones in darkness.

EXP 001EP

"Multi-instrumentalist Sarah Lipstate brings her innovative music to life under the name Noveller. Forming unexpected sonic routes, her songs are vivid and cinematic. Following several years spent collaborating with Iggy Pop, and touring the world as his guitarist, Lipstate returns with a new album of her own. I Am The Weather further expands her inventive explorations, creating what Pop once described to Jim Jarmusch as 'symphonies for people that don't have a lot of time.' Sarah's work as a composer, notably for the HBO Docuseries Breath Of Fire, as well as the Anthony Bourdain documentary Roadrunner, has greatly influenced her new constructions, incorporating piano, percussion and a new studio filled with excitement into her signature guitar sculpting. It is the baby grand at the center of her studio that welcomes you to the record on 'Sunday in Copenhagen' before ceding to a celestial six string swell. The percussive rhythms of 'Divining Dance' awaken a new morning in 'The Way of Our Flood' and walk towards the bowed grace of 'Otherside of Mountainside.' Surging into the sky, 'Portmerion' allows 'Beyond the Fells' to glide back down to Earth, revealing the album's biggest surprise -- a vocal track! It seems fitting given their past, that the first vocals on a Noveller record would be delivered by the legendary Iggy Pop. Written specifically for The Godfather of Punk, a noir-ish tale of a man over-matched by a femme fatale, 'The Girl Who Was Death' builds with tension and release. Following their collaboration on the title track to Iggy's album Free, (also used in a global campaign for PETA) and their interpretation of Dylan Thomas' 'Do Not Go Gently Into The Night,' Iggy was eagerly awaiting the opportunity to add vocals to another Lipstate composition. A scene set as if on opposite ends of a corner booth at the Double R Diner in Twin Peaks, he delivers each line with the weight of a thousand lives lived. The result is a song so vivid that you can see it projected ten feet tall on the walls all around you. I Am The Weather is the first new release for the Experimentia label, which will soon be the home for the entire Noveller catalogue."

"A Dublin-born, stylistically-restless but fundamentally punk troubadour, Stefan Murphy emerged in the early '00s under the moniker The Mighty Stef, which became a full-band concern around 2007, wrapped up in 2016, and was followed by a short stint as Count Vaseline. Then, in 2019, Murphy met a gentleman by the name of James Mechan, who happened to be Stiff Little Fingers' guitar tech. Mechan wanted to record Murphy at his Nashville studio. Those plans were derailed by the pandemic but not forgotten when Murphy moved to Nashville in 2022. Work commenced, the pair were joined by Ryan Sweeney (of Cheap Time) on drums and Eli Steele (Sweet Knives) on lead guitar. The result was The Sleeveens, named after an Irish slang for 'trixter' -- not the earthly type responsible for a plastic Aztec death whistle on your exhaust pipe but rather the otherworldly one that temporarily vanishes the keys to the vehicle. The Sleeveens' debuted on 7-inch with 2023's 'Give My Regards To The Dancing Girls' on Sweeney's Sweet Time label and 'UFO's' b/w The Four Tops' 'Bernadette' on Interstate 94 Recordings in 2024, followed by their fantastic self-titled LP on Dirtnap Records the same year, which gained traction on independent radio thanks to bangers like 'Metallica Font' and 'Aretha Franklin.' An official Gonerfest 22 inclusion, the band has also shared stages with G.G. King, Schizophonics, Total Hell, TV Crime, The Chats, The Lemonheads and many others. National Anthem should and could comfortably sit on the proverbial shelf of rock history next to all-timers with titles like Even Serpents Shine, Eternally Yours, All Rise, Setting Suns, Radios Appear, Nobody's Heroes, Sorry Ma, I Forgot To Take Out The Trash, and Rocket To Russia."

From Barcelona, Los Negativos stood out within the 1980s sixties-revival scene thanks to their carefully crafted look, lyrics, and thrilling songs. With their first album, Piknik Caleidoscópico, originally released in 1986, they masterfully combined pop, psychedelia, garage, beat, and folk-rock, creating a distinctive lysergic universe that continues to captivate 40 years after its release. This 40th-anniversary reissue of Piknik Caleidoscópico preserves the album's original artwork but, for the first time, includes the black-and-white back cover, which is how the band originally designed it. In addition, the audio has been remastered again by the album's original producer, Enric Lindo, together with the members of Los Negativos. It also includes an eight-page trilingual booklet (Spanish, Catalan, and English) with informative notes by journalist and band's official biographer Àlex Oró, plus rare photos/memorabilia and a reproduction of the original lyrics insert.
