Cameron Winter's 'Live at Carnegie Hall' documents the Geese frontman's historic Dec 2025 performance. Alone at the piano, he reshapes songs from his acclaimed debut 'Heavy Metal' and debuts three previously unreleased compositions. There is an undeniable sense of occasion running through the performance, capturing the momentous feeling of witnessing an artist stepping into the spotlight in real time. The release preserves one unforgettable night while cementing Winter's emergence as one of the defining voices of his generation, with the sense that this is only the beginning.

This is the first Original Jazz Classics reissue of Vince Guaraldi Trio’s A Charlie Brown Christmas, the biggest selling jazz album of all time. Featuring all the beloved compositions from the PEANUTS holiday special, the album sees Guaraldi joined by Fred Marshall, Monty Budwig, Jerry Granelli and Colin Bailey. This new edition of the album is released on 180-gram vinyl pressed at QRP with all-analog mastering from the original tapes at Cohearent Audio and a Stoughton Tip-On Jacket.

Matrix Music Arhiv (MMA) are proud to announce a re-release of the highly sought-after album ‘Resistance’ by the seminal Yugoslavian electronic rock band Borghesia, originally released in 1989 on Play It Again Sam/PIAS (Europe), Wax Trax (USA) and Jugoton (former Yugoslavia).

The carefully remastered album includes an exclusive bonus live album ‘Dal Vivo A El Paso’, recorded in December 1988 at their gig in Torino (Italy) during one of their European tours. The recording features very different, raw and at times ‘dubbed up’ versions of their early tracks such as ‘Naked, Uniformed, Dead’, Am I? and Him (On). The historical perfectly captures the atmosphere and energy of their live appearances at the time.

Borghesia (Italian for ‘bourgeoisie’), who were formed in Ljubljana (Slovenia) in 1982, had always considered its art to be far broader than just sonic. Borghesia’s transgressive, transdisciplinary alloy of film expression, distinctively physical performative practices, usage of new technology and conveniently abrasive EBM (electronic body music) musical production hasn’t only been ground-breaking in terms of the holistic, visual/sonic presence of an art collective, but had a rather decisive influence on the general aesthetics of the immensely important Yugoslav subcultural landscape of the 1980s. Borghesia was one of the first bands from the East of the Iron Curtain who used the VHS video medium to distribute their art and was also one of few projects from socialist Yugoslavia to successfully penetrate the curtain itself, reaching international audiences. A series of their releases in the fruitful period between the years 1987 and 1991, including the Resistance album itself, was released by the legendary Belgian label Play It Again Sam (PIAS). The band dissolved in the mid-1990s and then continued their work in 2014.

In line with Borghesia’s unique social engagement, progressiveness and political criticism, Resistance is one of their most powerful statements. It's the ultimate fight the power manifesto, which makes punk and hip-hop albums of the time sound like children's songs. Released during the last stages of socialist Yugoslavia, and in the last sighs of the original Borghesia line-up, the album's sole sonic character anticipated the oncoming atrocities of the civil wars in the region.

This is not music for nodding your head to; it's tactical broadcast for the nocturnal resistance to this very day. Borghesia didn’t address control only - they sampled the political top, the secret police and explicitly connected authority with dominance. They offer the tendency for liberation as the only appropriate exit. The production of the album isn’t clean or polished. On the contrary - Resistance sounds like it was created in a bunker, using stolen military equipment and synthesisers. Borghesia’s genius lies in their understanding that the relentless, mechanical EBM beat was the sound of the State - and by hijacking it, turning the system’s own rhythm against itself they created the most powerful form of sonic insurgency.

And since history repeats itself while the little man learns slowly, the re-release of ‘Resistance’ comes at the right time. The dark clouds of violence are already looming over Europe, they’ve never really left the Middle East, and the levers of power and capital ever so louder, not even covertly at all incite: war, war, war! In these times the only appropriate answer is: revolt, rebel, Resistance!

Sheffield electronic pioneers Cabaret Voltaire's most commercially successful album, 'CODE', is back, and long overdue after years out of print.

Released in 1987, the eighth studio album from the band has been remastered from the original tapes by Denis Blackham, who has mastered or remastered every Cabaret Voltaire album for over 20 years, and is released on Mute, restoring the original artwork. Co-produced with dub mastermind Adrian Sherwood, it marked a bold shift toward synth-pop and mechanistic funk, the last Cabaret Voltaire album made with a major budget while remaining defiantly credible, featuring charting singles 'Don't Argue' and 'Here to Go'.

The album's title speaks to a preoccupation that felt urgent at the time and has only grown more resonant since: the creeping integration of technology, computers and programming into every corner of human life. For Cabaret Voltaire, 'CODE' meant control, not just in regards to music-making, but also in terms of social and economic control against a backdrop of excess.

Recorded at the band's own Western Works studio in Sheffield, with Sherwood joining for pre-production before the sessions moved to Red Bus in London to mix, the album captures a band at the height of their commercial and creative powers. This reissue was begun in 2019 with Richard H. Kirk, before his untimely death and completed using his notes, in consultation with Stephen Malinder and Richard's estate, a fitting tribute to his legacy.

Futurismo proudly present a vital compilation born in the shadows of American punk; 'AMERICAN GRAVE Gothic Punk / Deathrock USA: 1978-1988', the third volume in their Altered Vision anthology series.

Drawing from darkest depths of the American spirit, 'American Grave' is testament to a subculture spawned from late night savagery, graveyard hangouts and suburban isolation. Deathrock, post-punk, goth, whatever term you prefer, this compilation showcases the sounds and aesthetics of a tarnished golden era, an underground movement that took the DIY concepts of punk and the velocity of a burgeoning hardcore scene and immersed it in echoes, distortion, tribal rhythms and macabre vocals, thematically preying upon cult horror flicks, surrealism, and the manipulation of religious iconography. Whilst the UK had a counterpart scene many would hail as Goth, this was different, this was a truly American incarnation, a new breed of youth haunted by the ghosts of old blues, garage and glam, bleak theatrical imagery dressed up to evoke a response, smeared eyeliner, leather, bones…black. This was a backlash against a culture in decay, bucking against a puritanical oppression brought on by the archaic social standards set by their parents. It was aggression manifested as gloom, it was a ceremony, the celebration of death.

'American Grave' has been co-curated by Wesley Eisold (Cold Cave/American Nightmare/Heartworm Press) in collaboration with Futurismo head honcho Del Jae, to bring you a haunting tracklist ranging from the all important integral mainstays of the genre to those rarer and more elusive artists, including many recordings that have never been reissued before on any format. Featuring the music of Christian Death, T.S.O.L., The Cramps, Of A Mesh, The Gun Club, Twisted Roots, Kommunity FK, The Brainz, Theatre Of Ice, Burning Image, Fur Bible, PSI Com, Shadow Of Fear, Super Heroines, 45 Grave and more.

The music on this compilation is reinstated further from a visual perspective by an array of incredible images by famed punk photographer Edward Colver, and lovingly designed to the level you would expect from a Futurismo release.

Selected by Lea Lisa, "Many Shades Of House - Vol 2" is a reflection of time, movement and memory. Built from decades of digging, collecting and playing records, this new chapter captures the many emotional layers of house music.

From uplifting, groove-led moments to deeper, more obscure and cerebral territories. Each track has been chosen not only for its musical strength, but for the stories it carries: nights behind the decks, connections on the dancefloor, and the quiet influence these records have had along the way.

True to the spirit of the first volume, this selection celebrates diversity and timelessness without compromise. It is a tribute to the artists’ vision, to the culture that surrounds this music, and to the shared experience that continues to unite listeners, dancers and selectors across generations.

STAFF COMMENTS

Matt says: I usually shy away from house compilations as they tend to just focus on licensing one or two must-have tracks and then add loads of filler. Not so here. I don't know why they've pulled it off but Lea Lisa and Favourite have collected some truly fine moments of house music that share a common thread and stylishly veer from the more obvious selections. Eight tracks no house DJ worth their salt would turn their nose up at. Two tracks a side for max fidelity. This is how we like it!

µ-Ziq’s 'Tango N'Vectif' was released in 1993, a classic year for auteurist electronic music that didn't always fit on the dancefloor. Written by Mike Paradinas in his late teens with some help from Frank Naughton, it still stands up really well today and its influence on electronic music in the decades since is obvious.

Across an expanse of ideas, taking influences from early Aphex, Detroit Techno and UK Hardcore, Mike created this spirited, funky, jerry-rigged, lo-fi version of rave; with crunchy drums and a knack for melody that fell somewhere between John Barry and classic TV themes. Without owning a computer, Mike had been writing techno, house and industrial tracks on and off since 1990, playing live keys alongside drum machine rhythms on his 4-track recorder. µ-Ziq started when Mike linked up with Frank who was also writing dance-influenced music, and importantly owned an Atari 1040ST computer with Cubeat software. They pooled their equipment and Mike would travel up to Frank's house a couple of miles away in Wimbledon to record together. By 1992, and after a false start when a proposed EP for Mark Pritchard and Tom Middleton's Evolution label got shelved, Mike had started at Kingston University where he deejayed and met like-minded people including a couple of guys who knew Aphex Twin who was also a student at Kingston too, and they passed Aphex a demo of Mike's material. A few days later Mike got a message from his mum to ‘call Aphex Twin’ and he gave Mike some advice, and seemed interested in releasing something. So when Frank and his family went on holiday that summer Mike borrowed his Atari and synths and wrote the majority of the 'Tango N’Vectif' album during that 2 weeks. By the end of 1992 a release with Aphex Twin and Grant Wilson Claridge’s Rephlex label had been agreed - Aphex had moved to the house in Clissold Crescent where he recorded a lot of his early classic albums and Mike went over to collect his advance, in the form of his very own Atari computer.

This is the original 1993 Rephlex vinyl album, completely remastered from DATs by Beau Thomas, with the original artwork, and photography by Richard James.

Marquee Moon is the debut album by American rock band Television. It was released on February 8, 1977, by Elektra Records. In the years leading up to the album, Television had become a prominent act on the New York music scene and generated interest from a number of record labels, eventually signing a record deal with Elektra. The group rehearsed extensively in preparation for Marquee Moon before recording it at A & R Recording in September 1976. It was produced by the band's frontman Tom Verlaine and sound engineer Andy Johns.

Released in 1983 after a lengthy court battle with IRS Records, 'Smell of Female' originally contained just the first six songs. These, plus out-of-control ad-lib freakouts 'Beautiful Gardens' and 'She Said' (previously omitted due to legal restrictions) were recorded live at New Yorkʼs famous Peppermint Lounge. There is nothing like the sound of The Cramps, and this set distills that cross of swamp water, moonshine and nitro down to a dangerous and unstable musical substance, captured live like a crazed animal. They rocked like few others could.

Additional bonus track 'Surfinʼ Dead' was recorded at A&M Studios in Hollywood and originally appeared on the 1984 soundtrack for Return of the Living Dead—when asked to write a “pop song” for the movie, The Cramps (by then a three-piece) threw into their cauldron a mix of Link Wray, Jan & Dean, Davie Allen, The Righteous Brothers, bongos, Phil Spector and eye of newt.

Featuring an over-the-top live set from Down Under, 'RockNReelinInAucklandNewZealandXXX' was recorded at the 100th show of The Cramps’ 1986 Date With Elvis Tour. The album was originally released incognito in cahoots with Ace Records in 1987 as a fake “limited-edition import” bootleg LP, and was intended to compete with the glut of unofficial Cramps recordings. The woman you hear screaming throughout the first half actually fainted when she stopped screaming!

Included alongside other classic tunes are fractured versions of actual Elvis Presley hits 'Heartbreak Hotel' and 'Do the Clam' (angora angst written for Elvis by film-maker Ed Wood’s wife Dolores Fuller!). This release is recommended for those who wonder what it would sound like to hear a microphone thrown around and garbled into (Lux Interior was known to destroy a half dozen microphones in one night). Hear The Cramps get dixie-fried!

1992’s Congregation, The Afghan Whigs’ third album, finds the Whigs’ soul and psychedelic influences shining through, and helped define the band’s sound for years to come.

Originally released April 15th, 2014, Do to the Beast was on its release the first new album by The Afghan Whigs in over a decade and a half. Founded in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1988, the band has long stood out from its peers, with their savage, rapturous blend of hard rock, classic soul, and frontman Greg Dulli’s searing obsessions. The album served as both a homecoming – it marked their then return to Sub Pop, for whom the Whigs were the first signing from outside the label’s Northwest base – and a glimpse into the future of one of the most acclaimed bands of the past thirty years.

On the one hand, In Spades is as quintessentially Afghan Whigs as anything the group has ever done – fulfilling its original mandate to explore the missing link between howling Midwestern punk like Die Kreuzen and Hüsker Dü, The Temptations’ psychedelic soul symphonies, and the expansive hard-rock tapestries of Led Zeppelin and Lynyrd Skynyrd. At the same time, this record continues to push beyond anything in the Whigs’ previous repertoire – another trademark, along with the explosive group dynamic captured on the recording.

Dubbed 'the Mozart of Pan' by Wynton Marsalis, Boogsie began playing pan at the age of five and composed his own music by the age of nine years old. Across a long and illustrious career, he has won seven National Panorama Championships in Trinidad and Tobago with his compositions and band, a world Steelband Music Festival with his original compositions 'In the Rainforest', and two Notting Hill Panorama Championships with Mangrove Steel Orchestra. Over the years he has also played with Andre Tanker, Lord Shorty, Lord Kitchener, Leston Paul, Clive Zanda, and other amazing Caribbean greats. Len became an arranger for the National Steelband of Trinidad and Tobago and is a cultural ambassador for the country promoting the instrument.

'Phase2' is built up predominantly of original compositions by Boogsie, alongside a track penned by fellow Trinidadian musician Raf Robertson and an outstanding Trinidadian-disco cover version of Roy Ayers' classic 'Can't You See Me'. Phase2 is the name of the band Boogsie started with six of his friends who sought to compose their own music.

Drenched in feel-good island-life energy, the eight tracks showcase Boogsie's creative approach to the pan and its ability to elevate the flavour of a host of genres not usually associated with the instrument.'Can't You See Me' is an underground disco banger that has become highly sought-after. It's no surprise why, with pan injecting Caribbean heat to Ayers' original. When rare groove DJs picked up on it and began playing it in their sets, it introduced Boogsie's talents to a wider audience.

Ten years ago, Horse Jumper of Love released their self-titled debut, one that not only launched their career but also inspired a generation of shoegaze artists to come.

Recorded in a mill space studio by future longtime collaborator Bradford Krieger and first released in 2016 (before a re-issue by Run For Cover in 2017), Horse Jumper of Love introduced listeners to the band’s unique strain of expertly crafted minimalism and haunting lyricism. Tracks like 'Orange Peeler' and 'Ugly Brunette' capture a gritty melancholy and existentialism that is both youthful and timeless, angst-ridden and sincere. Now, a decade later, 'Horse Jumper of Love' remains a beloved cult classic and a touchstone of the band’s continually developing brand of glacial, grungy indie rock.

This 10 Year Anniversary Deluxe Edition LP features new tri-fold packaging with collaged ephemera from singer and songwriter Dimitri Giannopoulos’ years in Boston while writing the record, a 20-page sewn-in booklet featuring never before seen photos and drawings, and handwritten tablature for the record’s original 9 songs. Disc one includes the original album fully re-mastered, and the brand new second disc features 13 bonus tracks recorded between the years of 2013-2015, mostly by Dimitri at home on a Tascam Portastudio, including single 'Heathers (2013)' which was an early version of what would later become 'i love you very much forever' and other never before heard demos, b-sides, and alternate versions of the original songs.

The Felice Brothers' self-titled second album - and major label debut - is a ragged and exuberant record that captures the spirit of a band steeped in American folk traditions while sounding completely their own. Released in 2008, the album blends folk, country, Americana, and roots rock with a loose, back-porch energy that feels both timeless and spontaneous - introducing The Felice Brothers as one of the most distinctive voices in modern Americana in the process, balancing old-time folk influences with a wild, unpredictable imagination. Featuring ""Whiskey in My Whiskey"", ""Radio Song"" and ""Frankie's Gun!"" (Their biggest hit) the album is filled with vivid characters, dark humour, and weathered storytelling, while accordion, fiddle, piano, and rough-hewn harmonies give the record its unmistakable Catskills charm.

Yonder Is the Clock is widely regarded as one of The Felice Brothers' finest achievements. Their third album deepens their gift for literary songwriting and atmospheric musicianship, cementing their reputation as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Americana. The title, borrowed from a phrase in Mark Twain's The Mysterious Stranger, hints at the record's fascination with memory, mortality, and the passage of time. Singer Ian Felice's gravel-worn voice delivers vivid narratives that move effortlessly between the intimate and the mythic on songs such as ""Penn Station,"" ""Sailor Song,"" and ""Cooperstown,"" . Humour and heartbreak coexist throughout, with moments of raucous energy sitting comfortably alongside quiet reflections on loss, hope, and redemption.

Originally released in 2017, Zara McFarlane’s 'Arise' represents a classic moment in Brownswood Recordings catalogue. Just before the global spotlight landed on London's new jazz generation, Zara McFarlane was already forging her own path - connecting jazz, soul, reggae and Afro-Caribbean traditions with a confidence and clarity that remains striking nearly a decade later. Arise captures an artist operating with singular vision, creating a body of work that sounds every bit as fresh and forward-thinking today as it did on release.

The album also stands as an early landmark in the career of Moses Boyd, who produced and co-composed the record while serving as Zara's longtime drummer and musical collaborator. Years before his Mercury Prize-nominated breakthrough, Boyd helped shape Arise into a deeply personal exploration of heritage. The credit list is remarkable: Moses Boyd, Binker Golding, Shabaka Hutchings, Nathaniel Cross, Peter Edwards and Shirley Tetteh all contribute to a record that now reads like a roll call of British jazz royalty. The iconic cover shot was taken by Adama Jalloh, around the corner from Brownswood’s North London HQ.

Upon release, 'Arise' was met with widespread critical acclaim. The Guardian praised “A Class Act" and celebrated its exploration of African-Caribbean musical lineage, while Clash Magazine described it as “enchanting and intriguing”. All About Jazz called the album's fusion of jazz and Jamaican rhythms "spellbinding".

As Brownswood celebrates its 20th birthday, they're proud to return one of the label's defining releases to vinyl, with the original copies being highly sought after. Pressed on limited edition gold vinyl, this special anniversary reissue is both a celebration of Zara McFarlane's artistry and a reminder of a record that was both ahead of its time, and whose influence resonantes today.

The Beatles' sixth album, 'Rubber Soul', released on December 3rd, 1965, newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and Sam Okell. Sourced directly from the original four-track master tapes, the audio is presented with remarkable clarity - available on multiple formats and editions.

The suits had gone, the hair was longer, more pot had been smoked, and Bob Dylan been taken note of. This was The Beatles first album as a whole entity, ish!, it's no "Sgt. Pepper's" or "Abbey Road". It's weightier, maybe slightly slower, there's more bottom end and it's certainly more thoughtful. As ever, The Beatles had the best tunes and "Norwegian Wood", "Drive My Car", "Michelle", "Nowhere Man" and "In My Life" (often described as one of their greatest moments) are testament to that.

Striking their own, distinct path in March 1995, Elastica proved uniquely fresh-sounding as the London four-piece delivered on the reputation they had built up gigging around the capital beyond in the months ahead its release.

Home to the likes of 'Line Up', 'Waking Up' and 'Connection', singles at once timeless yet in the moment, Elastica’s debut captured the fraying emotions, hazy experience and burning energy of life, love and after-hours adventure.

Absorbing atmospheres and attitudes of their post-punk and new wave forbears, Justine Frischmann (vocals, guitar), Annie Holland (bass), Donna Matthews (guitar, vocals) and Justin Welch (drums) poured their own identities into the album’s 15 tracks which balancing youthful swagger, with sage-like observation and a knowing cool that made Elastica and their debut effortlessly timeless.

Twenty years after the release of one of the most captivating albums of the 2000s, Howling Bells announce the 20th Anniversary Edition of their self-titled debut album, released on 2nd October via Nude Records.

Originally released in 2006, 'Howling Bells' marked a striking debut for the Australian band Produced by Grammy Award-winning Ken Nelson (Coldplay, Gomez, The Charlatans), the album introduced their cinematic blend of darkly romantic songwriting, atmospheric guitars, and Juanita Stein's unmistakable vocals. Hailed upon release as a moder alternative classic, Pitchfork raised Stein's "thoroughly unexpected, confidently strange, and immediately commanding voice, while NME simply called it "an extraordinary album." The Guardian described it as "bruising, narcotised rock'n'roll, refracted through the bottom of a glass, darkly... on the verge of unequivocal magnificence'. MOJO celebrated "an utterly flawless, heart-twisting vocal throughout," praising her ability to turn "tales of sorrow and betrayal" into "something exquisite," and Clash observed that it's the voice that grabs you," calling it a wonderfully lucid piece of songwriting, emotion lingering on each note.'

Twenty years later, the album retains its intoxicating magic. Still, the opening seconds pull you in; still, the record won't let you go. For the first time ever on vinyl, listeners can experience one of the great alternative debuts of its era in a format worthy of its enduring legacy.

"OK, now I can finally listen to Setting Sun on vinyl and be reminded all over again why I love Howling Bells" Chris Martin.

"There was a time when we thought great records would just keep rolling in. We didn't realize we were living in a golden age until it was gone. Twenty years later, Howling Bells stands as a testament to what we've been missing" Brandon Flowers.

“A haunting, beautiful and at times emotionally brutal debut by one of alt-rock's unsung talents” Brett Anderson.

"Listening to Howling Bells' debut album was a cultural awakening for me back in the early 2000s. It reminded me that writing artful, sophisticated pop music was absolutely possible. Twenty years later, this record still sounds so fresh and exciting" Anna Calvi.

Wooden Shjips' rise to prominence from the psychedelic underground to the rock and roll overground was a steady sojourn. With each consecutive release, the band has found new ways of transforming heady psychedelic rock into minimalist masterpieces, bridging the gap between the woozy freeness of Les Rallizes Denudes and Crazy Horse and the tightly wound simplicity of Suicide and the Velvet Underground.

'Small Change' is a masterpiece that contains some of Waits' best early work. Classic jazz, Tin Pan Alley, and Stephen Foster filtered through Tom's unique worldview and lyrical genius. Heartbreaking, hilarious and always vivid, songs like 'Step Right Up', 'Tom Traubert's Blues', 'I Wish I Was in New Orleans', 'The Piano Has Been Drinking', and 'Invitation to the Blues' are all classics that have influenced generations of songwriters since. Recorded with a live orchestra and featuring jazz legend Shelly Manne on drums, 'Small Change' is a classic and stands as one of Tom Waits' most popular recordings.

In 2000, after almost two decades of hibernation under the ambient waves and dub currents of the Sargasso Sea, LSD revived the seminal ‘Auntie Aubrey's' series, an Orb Remix Project. Released as a 2xCD compilation, 'Part 3' is a veritable smorgasbord of classic, new and unreleased labour-oflove remixes that span three decades yet still transcend space and time.

Many influential artists have been involved with The Orb since the beginning, and the project keeps evolving and adapting. Dr. Alex Paterson, the gravitation centre of the Orb is known for his playfully subversive remixes and true to form this release highlights the diversity of his musical mind.

We see the good Dr. remix the melancholy and evocative 'The Last Lighthouse Keeper' from The Transit Kings, an early British electronic music group that included Jimmy Cauty of The KLF, one of the original members of The Orb. The remix of ‘Davy Jones’ Locker’ from System 7 takes you surfing on a sun-dappled sea of ambient dance nostalgia, while Killing Jokes’ ‘European Super State’ remix (in which LSD label founder Martin ‘Youth’ Glover plays bass guitar) sounds like the soundtrack for an imaginary spy thriller with the powerful lyrics and hypnotizing voice of Jaz Summers. Legendary producer Youth teams up with Lx yet again on a psychedelic rocker with spellcasting vocals by Lara Smiles, and this is just the beginning!

Boasting an all-star lineup, the compilation includes many of our scenes most esteemed electronic music producers such as Coldcut, David Harrow, Sendelica and Gaudi as well as the ambient blissed out vibes from the enigmatic DF Tram, Duende India Collective and The Gyuto Monks of Tibet, this collection offers up such the variety to appease even the most dedicated Orbsessives and music connoisseurs.

First released in 1992, out of print for over 30 years and extremely hard to find original copies of, ‘FM’ remains one of the key releases from legendary singer Freddie McGregor. Worth its weight in gold for the inclusion of the all-time classic anthem ‘Natural Collie’.

‘FM’ is an absolutely stunning collection of tracks by Freddie McGregor, recorded between 1977 and 1982, originally released as singles on Earl ‘Chinna’ Smith’s High Times label in Jamaica. Freddie McGregor is accompanied on the album by the Soul Syndicate band, one of the most important and defining roots reggae session groups, who worked regularly with many of the major producers in Kingston in the 1970s and 1980s.

What is amazing about this album is that ‘Natural Collie’, the most well-known cut of this set, is simply the first in a line of killer tunes as Freddie McGregor and the Soul Syndicate drop stunning original tunes as well as playful recuts, re-versioning classic cuts and generally having a great time. The music is a startlingly fresh set of late 1970s / early 1980s funky, soulful and righteous roots reggae tunes that includes ‘Mission Impossible’, ‘Strange Things’, ‘Revolutionist’, ‘Leave Yah’ and ‘Mark of the Beast’.

A number of the tunes here are McGregor’s stunningly soulful renditions of American R&B classic tunes. The classic ‘Natural Collie’ is McGregor’s Rastafarian-inspired cover of the soul and jazz artist Norman Connor’s ‘You Are My Starship’, released two years prior. ‘Love Ballad’ was written by Skip Scarborough for the USA soul group L.T.D. (featuring Jeffrey Osborne).

McGregor also versions his own ‘I’m A Revolutionist’, originally cut for the Studio One label, The Intern’s ‘Nothing is Impossible’ (as ‘Mission Impossible’) and John Holt’s classic ‘Strange Things’.

FM showcases the talents of Freddie McGregor and The Soul Syndicate like no other album.

Widely regarded as one of Caravan's finest records, 'For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night' captures the Canterbury legends at a creative peak. Released in 1973, the album blends sophisticated progressive rock, jazz-inflected arrangements, and Caravan's trademark melodic charm, delivering a collection that remains a cornerstone of the Canterbury Scene.

Featuring fan favorites including 'Memory Lain, Hugh / Headloss', 'The Dog, The Dog, He's At It Again', and the epic suite 'L'Auberge du Sanglier', the album balances intricate musicianship with accessible songwriting and memorable hooks. The return of keyboardist Dave Sinclair and the addition of violist Geoff Richardson helped shape a richer, more expansive sound that would define the band's mid-'70s output.

A must-have for fans of progressive rock, Canterbury Scene pioneers, and artists such as Camel, Soft Machine, and early Genesis, 'For Girls Who Grow Plump In The Night' stands as one of the essential British progressive rock albums of the 1970s.

Every vinyl is housed in premium packaging, including a heavy duty card sleeve, embossed Thousand Club logo, individual foil numbering, a foil sticker, and a protective PVC sleeve.

Daybreaker is the third full-length studio album by British singer-songwriter Beth Orton, released in July 2002 through Heavenly Records in the UK and Astralwerks in the US.

The album marked a stylistic turn for Orton. Following the acclaim of Trailer Park (1996) and Central Reservation (1999)—which helped define the late-1990s "folktronica" movement—Daybreaker pivoted toward a more traditional, organic singer-songwriter sound.

Comfort of Strangers is the fourth studio album by English singer-songwriter Beth Orton, released in February 2006 through Astralwerks and EMI.

Recorded at Sear Sound Studio in New York City, the album represents a lean, intimate, and organic evolution in Orton's sound.

'Better Living Through Chemistry' wasn’t just Fatboy Slim’s breakthrough - it helped redefine what electronic music could be in the mainstream. Released in 1996, the album arrived at a pivotal moment in UK club culture, fusing big beat, acid house energy and sample-heavy experimentation into something irreverent, accessible and unmistakably British. Tracks like 'Everybody Needs a 303', 'Going Out of My Head', and 'The Weekend Starts Here' captured the anarchic spirit of the era while laying the foundation for a sound that would dominate late-’90s pop culture.

The Unwound album that ended all Unwound albums. Recorded in a moldering farmhouse basement at the crest of the new century, 'Leaves Turn Inside You' is the no-wave response to Spector’s wall of noise call. Infinite layers of choppy guitar stabs and bridge scrapes, guttural bass thronk, thrift store synths, and monotone chanting wash over suffocating rhythms to deliver the world’s only choral grunge LP. This 25th anniversary edition has been remastered from the original analog tapes and is housed in a glorious silver foil jacket with added emboss, deboss, spot varnish, and a replica 12x24” poster . Reinvented for you.

The energy that Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three captured on the legendary At Folsom Prison record can probably never be duplicated. That being said, Hello, I'm Johnny Cash comes very close. This forgotten album is arguably one of the five best albums in the Cash discography. It is fueled by superb original Cash songs and well executed covers. It contains "See Ruby Fall" (co-written with Roy Orbison) and one of his best 70s hits, "Blistered." The lean, minimalist instrumentation of the Tennessee Three ensures the album with great rhythm, leaving Johnny Cash's voice as effective as ever. The album reached No. 1 on the country charts and No. 6 on the pop charts.

Polly Paulusma’s acclaimed 2004 debut returns in a definitive 21st anniversary edition, pairing the original album with five bonus tracks (CD only), including two previously unreleased recordings and three sought-after B-sides.

Originally released by One Little Independent, ‘Scissors In My Pocket’ earned praise from Uncut and The Independent, received BBC Radio 2 playlist support and launched Polly Paulusma onto stages with Bob Dylan, Coldplay, Marianne Faithfull and The Divine Comedy.

Recorded largely in a South London garden shed, the album’s intimate blend of folk, chamber pop and literary songwriting remains as compelling today as ever. This expanded edition also honours the original artwork by Louise Riley-Smith, making it an essential catalogue release for fans of Beth Orton, Laura Marling, Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell, with strong appeal to collectors and contemporary folk audiences.

LP pressed onto Hot Pink colour vinyl.

Danish singer and songwriter MØ became known worldwide back in 2015 because her collaboration single, "Lean On", with Major Lazer and DJ Snake became a huge commercial success. The song reached #1 in more than 10 countries and in November 2015 it became the most streamed song on Spotify with more than a billion streams. However, this was an artist who had already been working on her career for a long time. MØ's interest in music began at a young age with the Spice Girls, but shifted towards punk music in her teens, with Sonic Youth as her biggest inspiration. She began her career with this EP: Bikini Daze, on which she collaborated with Diplo (Major Lazer) and Ronni Vindahl (who has worked with Avicii and Kendrick Lamar). The EP was praised at the time of its release for MØ's willingness to challenge pop conventions. These four tracks marked the beginning of an artist with an impressive career, who, to this day, continues to release incredibly interesting indie- and electronic-inspired pop music.

STAFF COMMENTS

Barry says: Catchy, soaring synth-pop replete with ethereal vocals and glitchy loops, decidedly more lo-fi than the past couple releases but a perfect illustration of her mastery of soulful, slo-mo indie and otherworldly glitch-pop.

Following the success of Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku Vol. 1 and Vol. 2, Cosmocities returns with the third instalment of its celebrated compilation series dedicated to the rich and ever-evolving world of Japanese electronic music. Compiled by label owner Matt Soulie, Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku Vol. 3 continues the journey through Japan’s diverse sonic landscape, bringing together pioneering artists, cult favourites and contemporary innovators across ambient, house, jazz-infused electronics and experimental sound design.

A carefully curated snapshot of Japanese electronic music past and present, Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku Vol. 3 showcases the depth, innovation and enduring influence of one of the world’s most inspiring musical cultures.

Since its inception, the Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku project has paid tribute to a musical culture that has profoundly influenced the Cosmocities vision. Where the first volume explored dreamy ambient textures and deep electronic moods, and the second shifted focus towards boogie-laden rhythms and jazz-fuelled dancefloor excursions, Volume 3 finds a natural balance between introspection and movement.

The compilation opens with Yosi Horikawa’s sublime “Bubbles”, an ambient masterpiece whose delicate organic textures gently set the tone. Chari Chari’s “Luna de Ritmos” follows with deep, ethereal house atmospherics before Force Of Nature’s hypnotic “Skyy High” guides listeners further into immersive territory.

The journey continues through the experimental electronics of XTAL’s “Skygazer” and the analogue warmth of Takuya Matsumoto’s “Jump Rope Music”, while regular Cosmocities contributor Yuu Udagawa delivers the sophisticated high-tech jazz house groove of “Little Secrets”.

On the second half of the collection, Kuniyuki’s remix of Slow Didi’s “Follow Me” brings rich jazz-inflected elegance, leading seamlessly into the futuristic techno-swing fusion of DJ Eiji Takehana featuring Yusuke Nakamura’s “Deep Track Jazz”. Tominori Hosoya’s “Summer Dreamers” adds a deeply emotional and dreamlike house moment before Azzurro’s “Just A Touch Of Love” shifts the focus firmly towards the dancefloor with a hypnotic late-night thumper.

Closing the compilation is AcidGelge’s “Fatality 4”, a beautifully spacey and atmospheric finale that leaves the listener suspended somewhere between the club, the cosmos and the imagination.

TraTra Trax been working on this for a couple of years. One where they hand over the curatorial keys of the label to very specific artists in whom they have absolute trust and who have an almost academic knowledge of a specific rhythm or a specific region where our eyes and sensitivity cannot reach. In order to amplify powerful voices from the global south, where the true underground is happening today, and that move away from the traditional axis of New York, London, Berlin. TraTra Trax present to you: "Mzansi Bass curated by Shannen SP".

A project meant to explore the space between 3-step, gqom, the dark sides of amapiano, and mutations of pritori rap deeply rooted in Black African rave music from the local scenes of Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Eastern Cape, and their global mutations from Brazil and the Netherlands. The project is anchored around the legacy act of DJ Lag and new comers of South African bass whose music has broken international barriers with pure-emotionally-rich dance music. The release works as both a celebration of the roots and the future offering it projects. As Shannen puts it, it's electronic music with a futuristic feel, both raw but minimal, trance-inducing and deeply physical, built in a very particular geographic space for the whole world to enjoy.

Indulge into these special soundscapes crafted by their own inhabitants.

Two of the most prolific remixers in the world of Disco,Dave 'Love' Lee and John Moraleshave teamed up for one of their biggest projects to date - 'Mixed To The Maxxx'. After gaining access from the legendary original artists, the pair take the multi-track tapes of many classic Disco, Funk & Soul tracks and re-work them...to the Maxxx!

Where Remixed With Love stands as Dave Lee's own gold-standard body of work, Mixed To The Maxxx sets that legacy alongside Morales' own decades-deep M+M body of work: Lee brings his musically dense, groove-first touch to the likes of Harold Melvin, Syreeta, Lenny Williams and The Brand New Heavies, while Morales applies his extended, dancefloor-built M+M treatment and crushes the likes of Barry White, The Temptations and Loleatta Holloway, plus Dennis Coffey's breakbeat classic "Scorpio" for the DJs and collectors alike. Both work from original tapes, surfacing parts barely audible or entirely unheard in the source mixes, and both know when to let a classic breathe rather than bury it under modern production. It's a pairing a long time in the making. Lee and Morales first talked about working together around a decade ago, and getting Mixed To The Maxxx off the ground took five years of patient work: tracking down usable stems, securing approvals, and navigating a licensing landscape where much of the best material is now tied up with major labels increasingly cautious about clearing remixes. What's landed here is the product of that graft as much as the pair's shared ear for a great record, the sound of two people who know exactly what they're looking for and are willing to put in the time to find it.

A double 12" sampler in summer 2025 previewed the record's range. A bass-driven overhaul ofThe Brothers Johnson's "The Real Thing" and an extended mix of Philly legends Bell & James' "Livin' It Up (Friday Night)" showcased Lee's side, while an anthemic take on Inner Life's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and a tempo-lifted Light Of The World"London Town" flew the flag for Morales. Both drew strong early support ahead of the full LP.

Mixed To The Maxxx arrives across two double LPs and a double CD. Vinyl buyers get an exclusive extra: a Dave Lee rework of First Choice's "Double Cross," not available on the CD edition.

New, one-off pressing, Magenta coloured double vinyl edition of ‘Miami Sound 2’, housed in gatefold sleeve, complete with two full-colour inner sleeves containing extensive text and exclusive photography from TK Records in-house photographer Larry Warmoth.

Soul Jazz Records’ ‘Miami Sound 2’ is a superlative collection of 1970s soul, funk, disco and boogie, featuring tracks from legendary artists such as Betty Wright, Timmy Thomas, Gwen McRae, Milton Wright, T-Connection and many more, all released on the mighty TK Records musical empire based in Miami, Florida.

Throughout the 1970s, founder Henry Stone’s TK Records rose up to be one of the most important forces in black music, successfully pioneering the evolution in musical fashions from the early gritty funk and soul at the start of the decade to the arrival of disco in the mid-1970s.

This album is a rollercoaster journey across soul, funk, disco and boogie, a partyrocking dancefloor-filling collection of monster tracks that includes million-selling hits such as Betty Wright’s classic ‘Clean Up Woman’, Timmy Thomas’s ‘Why Can’t We Live Together’, T-Connection’s ‘Do What You Wanna Do’, anthemic rare groove club hits including Gwen McCrae’s massive ‘All This Love I’m Giving’ and Milton Wright’s ‘Keep It Up’, plus a host of hard-to-find gems and rarities from the likes of Raw Soul Express, Chocolate Clay, Beginning of the End, Robert Moore, Clarence Reid, Little Beaver, Paulette Reeves and many more.

TK Records functioned more like a close-knit family than a typical record company. Based in the industrial Hialeah district of Miami, music man Henry Stone surrounded himself with a host of creative artists, musicians, songwriters and producers who created an immediately identifiable TK sound as well as making musical stars out of many of its artists.

‘Miami Sound 2’ comes with extensive sleevenotes, as well as an exclusive interview with Steve Alaimo, co-founder with Henry Stone of this musical empire. The album also features the photography of TK in-house photographer Larry Warmoth, whose rarely seen striking and unique images of Gwen McRae, Betty Wright, Clarence Reid and others offer a fascinating window into the pioneering record company.

Two x 2LP sets that examine the influence and expression of the underground jazz that evolved in California and surrounding states during the latter part of the 20th century.

The West Coast of the USA has long been associated with the ‘cool jazz’ popular explosion of the 1950s, though wherever jazz was played, modal, Afro-centric and spiritualised streams flowed and flourished too - the West Coast was no exception. In the post-war years, Los Angeles’ Central Avenue was second only to Manhattan as America’s greatest jazz district. Yet while Manhattan might have been the de facto centre of the jazz universe during these years, it was California that came to exert the greater pull on culture at large, drawing people from across America toward its burgeoning 1960s counter-culture.

Here we explore the effects of that counter-culture on jazz. We examine the influence of the most significant force in post-civil rights Black politics – the Black Panthers, and we delve into the novel spiritual practices and religions of the coming ‘New Age’. A variety of idiosyncratic indies such as Arhoolie, Theresa and Nimbus were located in California as well as many more private enterprises, and we showcase the results of their efforts to express their musical freedom. All of these factors can be seen to have an influence on the way that jazz and jazz musicians developed and thrived on the West Coast - and the evolution of spiritual jazz here is examined in detail.

2LPs featuring 24 tracks in total, housed in gatefold sleeves with liner notes, pics & download code.

Originally released on 27th September 1996, ‘Northern Exposure’ is widely regarded as one of the greatest mix compilations ever made. Thirty years on, it sounds as vital as ever - a testament to the fearless vision that went into its creation.

At a time when DJ culture was still writing its own rules, Sasha and John Digweed pushed against the grain. Drawing on sounds discovered during early trips to America - from Rabbit in the Moon to Future Sound of London - they built something that prioritised atmosphere over dancefloor convention. DJ Mag panned it on release. History changed their tune.

'Northern Exposure Redux' marks the 30th anniversary with a definitive reissue of both original mixes. The 3CD version also includes a newly created ambient mix. Shaped by the spirit of Bill Laswell and Mad Professor, it explores the deeper, more hypnotic DNA that always ran beneath the surface. 'Northern Exposure Redux - North' includes classic tracks by Keiichi Suzuki, The Future Sound Of London, and Banco de Gaia. 'Northern Exposure Redux - South' includes classic tracks by Dope On Plastic, Pete Lazonby, and a newly recreated version of ‘Dark And Long (Dark Train)’ by none other than Darren Emerson himself. Both vinyl versions also include a download code for both the North And South mixes, as well as the individual tracks.

LIVE IN ARLES 1975 is the seventh album in the acclaimed live series from German experimental rock pioneers CAN, overseen by founding member Irmin Schmidt and released on Mute.

Widely regarded as one of their finest performances, even by the band members themselves, this concert took place at the Roman Théâtre Antique in Arles. The lineup consisted of the core four members: Schmidt, Michael Karoli, Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay. The band played as part of a festival that included other artists such as Nico and Kevin Ayres.

The recording was unearthed from the Spoon Records vaults, after long only existing through the stories of those who were there. To celebrate its first release, it feels only fitting that the sleeve notes include first-hand accounts from people who attended the show.

As with the rest of the series, this release captures the unique nature of CAN’s onstage improvisations. Every show was different, and these recordings offer a fresh look at a band whose creative process never truly finished.

Originally performed and broadcast to a generation discovering electronic music in real time, Orbital’s set at Glastonbury ’94 became a defining cultural moment — not only for the band, but for dance music itself. At a time when electronic acts were still fighting for recognition on major festival stages, Orbital proved that dance music could be as emotional, cinematic, and powerful as any headline rock performance. The iconic headtorches, the energy of the crowd, and the sheer ambition of the performance helped cement the set as one of the most important live electronic shows ever witnessed. A gamechanger for the dance music scene.

Although the performance has long circulated online and remained a fan favourite for decades, there has always been overwhelming demand for an official release. Now, for the very first time, the complete Glastonbury 1994 set will finally be available fully remastered.

This was the band’s sixth album, and Record Collector noted that it’s “almost universally acknowledged as The Go-Betweens finest hour” – and it’s been referred to as “the indie Rumours”. The ten beautiful songs on this album are all love songs and it’s been called a piece of “romantic artistry”. Legendary music critic Robert Christgau called it “the straightest and catchiest bunch of love songs they’ve ever produced” and the album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. Forster described the album as, “the perfect combination between London melancholy and Sydney sunshine.”

This was the fourth album by The Go-Betweens. Record Collector called it “one of the greatest albums of the decade” and Uncut wrote that “everything comes together with the perfect fourth album”. Drummer Lindy Morrison said “We produced this ourselves and it’s got the best songs, and I think every single song is a classic.” The band entered the studio determined to create the album they envisioned. Forster later wrote, “If this was to be our last shot, it had to be on our terms. There’d be no drum machines, no piecemeal recording, no acquiescence to higher authority. Our intention was to expand on the crisp, woody sound of 'Before Hollywood', to include a grander, more exotic range of instrumentation.”

On the band’s fifth album, they added multi-instrumentalist Amanda Brown, and she broadened their sound and gave it more drama. The album is a pivotal one in their discography and sits as a stepping-stone between their early era, and their more richly textured later work. Paste Magazine included it in their list of the best new-wave albums and said that it features “several signature works by the group’s chief writers, most notably McLennan’s infectiously chorused shoulda-been-hits 'Right Here' and 'Bye Bye Pride', as well as such characteristically edgy Forster compositions as the undertowing 'House That Jack Kerouac Built' and 'The Clarke Sisters', a haunting character study of spinsters that perfectly captures its author’s eye for detail.”

Recorded professionally in May 1987, this stunning live set was captured right before the release of 'Tallulah'. Robert Forster noted that “This show is almost certainly the only performance of The Go-Betweens’ career that was captured on 24-track, 2-inch analog tape. The recording was made from a mobile recording truck parked beside the venue’s stage door….Our intentions for the recording heavily influenced the way we approached our performance. What you are hearing is not a typical Go-Betweens show. This is a one off - and it manifests itself in one big way. The set list. Given this opportunity to catalogue over four sides of vinyl, we took a more adventurous course regarding ‘the set’. What we have, is not only a one-off recording, but a one-off show. And some of the best moments comes from our wild intent.”

It’s just over 30 years ago that former Suede guitarist Bernard Butler and ex-Thieves frontman David McAlmont unleashed the extraordinary single ‘Yes’ at the beginning of a summer awash with Britpop and Ibiza rave. With its instant-classic sound, augmented by soaring ’60s strings, it sounded epic and most definitely unlike anything else at the time. Rightly, today it’s considered a stone-cold classic.

When it followed in the December of the same year, the album ‘The Sound Of…’ was an immensely satisfying and beguiling mix of classic songwriting, immaculate production, and blending of rock and soul. The album was also singled out by critics as one of the year’s very best. ‘The Guardian’ newspaper awarded it a maximum 5 stars while ’The Times’’s critic commented: “the monumental climax to the seven-minute-long 'You Do' provides a fitting end both to the album and to a relationship that shook so hard that perhaps it had to shatter.”

Cristina Camargo broke onto the Brazilian boogie scene in 1980 with the single "Moral Tem Hora", penned by the by then already famous brothers Marcos and Paulo Valle. They were soon joined by the arranger/producer/musician powerhouse Robson Jorge and Lincoln Olivetti, who worked with practically all the big MPB stars from Jorge Ben and Gal Costa to Caetano Veloso and Gilberto Gil. Armed with the endless possibilities that the burgeoning Brazilian music scene provided, the group went into the studio and produced the eponymous debut album Cristina Camargo. The result is a very special record built around that successful single that does what Brazil does best: blending their own musical heritage with sounds in vogue in the rest of the world, in this case the boogie disco that was all the rage in the USA in the first half of the 1980s. Expect endearing choirs, tight grooves, and a killer production value on par with the big-budget studios up north.

'No Tourists': written, produced and mixed by Liam Howlett in his studio in London’s Kings Cross, though this is – Liam notes – “very much a band album”. Maxim and Keef Flint are very much present and correct, each supplying their legendary vocal skills on this, the Essex machine’s seventh studio record. Yes, there are one or two collaborators, but fundamentally this is the sound of the central Prodigy three, bringing their riotous sound to audiences old and new, almost three decades since they changed the face and sound of electronic music with epochal album ‘The Fat Of The Land’.

The Veils' first three albums are return to vinyl thanks to Rough Trade Records.

'The Runaway Found' (2004), 'Nux Vomica' (2006) and 2009's 'Sun Gangs' established the New Zealand band as purveyors of lush, romantic indie, able to sweep through cinematic vistas into intimate emotional corners, via gothic orchestration and atmospheric driving rhythms.

Founded and fronted by singer-songwriter Finn Andrews while still a teenager, over their first three albums, The Veils carved out a musical landscape of their own that was in turn deep and enveloping yet emotionally raw and direct.

Having only enjoyed a limited vinyl run on their releases, due to the format's neglected commercial status during the 2000s, the repressing of 'The Runaway Found', 'Nux Vomica' and 'Sun Gangs', offers audiences a fresh opportunity to enjoy these records with the full depth, fidelity and artwork they deserve, and reminding listeners of the musical secrets The Veils revealed to the world.

“It is a sincere joy to see these records that are so important to us and to so many others reissued on vinyl by the label that nurtured us right from the start. I remain hugely grateful to them and to all the songs on these searching, impassioned, and magnificently youthful first attempts.” - Finn Andrews, The Veils

Two is the second album by British electronic group Utah Saints, and was released in 2000. It's the result of a nine-year layoff that was this close to retirement by techno terms. In 1992, Utah Saints' self-titled debut was one of the year's most exciting dance releases. Jez Willis and Tim Garbutt's anthems boomed out with the exuberance of copyright liberation, but their unreleased second album was permanently bricked up by fear for copyright violation. In 2000 they finally got to release this beauty featuring guest vocalists Michael Stipe (R.E.M.), Chuck D (Public Enemy) & Edwin Starr a.o., and samples by the likes of Metallica, Average White Band, The Pretenders, The Stooges and Joyce Sims.

"JPEGMAFIA, a trailblazing force in experimental hip hop, releases his latest solo project, I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU. This album, his first since 2021, is a complex and innovative work that showcases his meticulous production skills. Featuring collaborations with Denzel Curry, Vince Staples, and Buzzy Lee, the album explores themes like capitalism, conscription, and propaganda through some of JPEGMAFIA’s most anarchic raps to date. The release is accompanied by an extensive global tour, reinforcing his status as one of the genre’s most incendiary talents. Since his last solo release, JPEGMAFIA has continued to push boundaries in the music industry, most notably with his 2023 collaboration with Danny Brown on Scaring the Hoes, which garnered critical acclaim and chart success. With I Lay Down My Life for You, JPEGMAFIA cements his reputation as a visionary artist, delivering a powerful commentary on the world through his unique lens. The album’s release is set to make a significant impact, both in stores and on stages worldwide."

Continuing in its series of Yoko Ono reissues, Secretly Canadian has announced a reissue of Ono’s seminal 1982 album 'It’s Alright (I See Rainbows)'.

Influenced equally by 1960s girl group vocals and 1980s synthesizer experimentation, 'It's Alright (I See Rainbows)' is an album of “adventurous… lush… committed and convincing avant-gardism” (Rolling Stone). As Ono said in her 1992 Onobox liner notes, “It was ’82 and it seemed as though I was finally in sync with the world.” Vacillating from a widow’s never-truly-over grief, to the necessary uplift for an artist and mother to continue her life’s missions, tracks like 'Loneliness' and 'Spec of Dust' make way for poptimism via 'Let the Tears Dry', and title track 'It’s Alright'.

As Ono said of the album in 1983, “It’s like my diary that I went through… and I’m just saying, hey, I’ve got the same kind of emotions that you’ve probably got too, and here I am saying hello… Around December 8th or whatever, I was feeling really heavy and feeling sort of down, you know… and then, side two, it’s all right… It was Sean [Lennon] who says, ‘Wake up, wake up, mommy.’ Like an angel that came and said, ‘Wake up!’… Wake up and dream love, and let the tears dry and I see rainbows. And sort of I’m saying all that. In result of Sean waking me up, see?”

Lennon, speaking of his mother in a more recent interview with NPR in 2025, “She would say that energy is just energy, so you can turn it into anything you like. And she always said that she would take that negative energy and turn it into something productive and creative… It never stopped her from creating and putting herself out there, and I really think that it paid off… You never know how long it'll take for people to appreciate you if you just kind of hang on and don't give up.”

Forty-plus years on, we couldn’t agree more.

Ghostface Killah released his debut solo album 30 years ago on October 29, 1996. Produced by fellow Wu-Tang Clan member RZA, 'Ironman' found inspiration in sources ranging from blaxploitation films to classic soul and charted a whole new direction for hip-hop in the process. The album features classic bangers like 'Daytona 500' featuring Raekwon and 'Cappadonna' to soulful emotionally moving cuts like 'All That I Got Is You' with Mary J Blige

The jaded daughter of a dead preacher-man caught in an exodus, Ethel Cain winds her way through a dizzying attempt at escape from her suffocating upbringing only to find herself crushed within its jaws in the end. Hayden Anhedönia, the woman behind the curtain, serves as the architect for the visceral and haunting world of Ethel Cain. After over four years of meticulously constructing her debut album and the graphic visual world that accompanies it, 'Preacher’s Daughter', was released in May 2022 to critical acclaim, catching fire with her reverent fanbase of daughters and the adoration of The New York Times, Vogue, NPR, Billboard, Vice, TheFADER, NYLON, Paper Magazine, Pitchfork, W Magazine, V Magazine and more.

In the 1980s, Mogadishu was home to one of East Africa's most vibrant music scenes, where Somali melodies met funk, disco, reggae, soul and jazz. At its centre was Dur-Dur Band, founded by drummer Adan Handal and childhood friend Isse Dahir Qassim.

By 1984, Dur-Dur had become the house band at the legendary Jubba Hotel, developing an explosive live sound that was both deeply local and remarkably modern. While their early cassette releases, Volumes 1 and 2, spread across Somalia, Volumes 3 and 4 marked the band's creative peak.

Recorded during a time of personal tragedy and growing national crisis, the albums captured Dur-Dur pushing musical boundaries. Following the departure of singer Shimaali Ahmed Shimaali and founding bandleader Isse Dahir Qassim's tragic death, Adan Handal guided the band into new sonic territory. Volume 4 became one of their most adventurous recordings, combining electronic percussion, unusual drum textures and reggae-inspired grooves with the unmistakable spirit of Somali music. Today, Dur-Dur's music stands as proof of a creativity that survived war, displacement and decades of silence.

Shame thrives on confrontation. Whether it be the seething intensity crackling throughout debut LP 'Songs of Praise' or the adrenaline-pumping chaos that unfolds at Shame’s shows, it’s all fueled by feeling. NPR’s Bob Boilen noted, “Of the 70 bands I saw at this year’s SXSW, the band Shame seemed to mean what they played more than any other.”Comprised of vocalist Charlie Steen, guitarists Sean Coyle-Smith and Eddie Green, bassist John Finerty, and drummer Charlie Forbes, the London-based five-piece began as school boys. From the outset, Shame built the band up from a foundation of DIY ethos while citing The Fall and Wire among its biggest musical influences.Utilizing both the grit and sincerity of that musical background, Shame carved out a niche in the South London music scene and then barreled fearlessly into the angular, thrashing post-punk that would go on to make up 'Songs of Praise', their Dead Oceans debut. From 'Gold Hole', a tongue-in-cheek takedown of rock narcissism, to lead single 'Concrete' detailing the overwhelming moment of realizing a relationship is doomed, to the frustrated 'Tasteless' taking aim at the monotony of people droning through their day-to-day, 'Songs of Praise' never pauses to catch its breath.

Strut proudly presents an expansive deep dive into the world of Quatermass Sound Lab, the prolific under-the-radar East London studio founded and run by producer, engineer and The Heliocentrics co-founder Malcolm Catto.

Over the last two decades, Catto has quietly established himself as a sought-after sonic architect in contemporary music. Revered for his analogue-first approach, he has built Quatermass Sound Lab around vintage recording equipment, valve preamps and live performance, creating recordings that feel warm and timeless. Equally inspired by punk, hip-hop, psychedelic rock, jazz, funk and electronic music, Catto has developed a production style that rejects genre boundaries in favour of instinct and atmosphere.

Describing himself as "50% musician and 50% listener," Catto approaches each session as a collaborator rather than a conventional producer. That philosophy has made Quatermass Sound Lab a creative home for an extraordinary range of musicians, from established innovators to emerging voices. His remarkable discography spans collaborations with Yussef Dayes, DJ Shadow, Madlib, Quantic, Mulatu Astatke, Orlando Julius, Idris Ackamoor & The Pyramids and countless others, each project using analogue wizardry to shape bold, contemporary recordings with a character all of their own.

This collection opens the Quatermass archive for the first time, gathering previously unreleased recordings, alternate versions and mixes that chart Catto's evolution as producer, drummer and sonic instigator. Tracks include the abrasive, post-punk electronics of Snapped Ankles' ‘Shopping Parade’, French rap experimentation on Wet Enough’s ‘San Pé’ and the richly textured psychedelia of Vanishing Twin's ‘Backstroke’. Catto’s work with jazz and global sounds features with Divine Earth’s visceral ‘Free Soul’ and extended pieces by Venezuelan futurists Insólito Universo and Lausanne Afrobeat collective Professor Wouassa while undiscovered artists include the brilliant UK band Toyface with their epic ‘Potter’s Wheel’.

More than a producer retrospective, Quatermass Sound Lab is a portrait of an artist whose fingerprints can be found across some of the most adventurous records of the last twenty years.

'Bossanova' is the third Pixies album. The band continued to work with Gil Norton after collaborating to such success on their platinum-selling second album 'Doolittle'. Their third album in as many years, 1990 was a particularly fertile time for the band with Kim Deal also having success with The Breeders, who released their debut album 'Pod' just a few months prior.

Featuring the singles ‘Allison’ (a tribute to jazz and blues pianist Mose Allison), ‘Dig For Fire’ and ‘Velouria’, plus the first cover to feature on one of their albums ‘Cecilia Ann’ (originally by The Surftones), 'Bossanova' showed a less primal side to the band, with surf and space rock rising to the fore. Lyrically, Black Francis is even more cryptic with a recurring sci-fi theme running throughout, which in turn influenced Vaughan Oliver’s classic planet design for the sleeve.

'Trompe le Monde' bookended a golden run of landmark records released in quick succession that cemented Pixies as one of the best of a generation.

Translated from French to mean “fool the world”, 'Trompe le Monde' showed the band still restless to push their sound forward. With producer Gil Norton again at the controls, their fourth album is arguably their most playful with Black Francis’s lyrics on UFOs and conspiracy theories keeping things weird while power pop creeps in to amplify the space rock established on predecessor 'Bossanova'.

'Trompe le Monde' goes full throttle with 15 tracks coming in a quickfire 40-minute salvo. It proved to be the end of act one for the band with them taking over a decade before returning to stage together.

Herbie Hancock is one of the most prolific jazz pianists of the 20th century. A child prodigy, he played with the greats such as Donald Byrd and Miles Davis. As he was a bit of a geek, he enjoyed gadgets & buttons and he was one of the first to embrace and master the electric piano, but he always stayed true to the acoustic sound. In fact, he always bounced back and forth between his electronic and acoustic sound, touching upon almost every development in R&B, Funk and Jazz while retaining an original and distinctive voice. Death Wish from 1974 followed closely upon the success of Headhunters, and was the soundtrack to the infamous Charles Bronson-starring vengeance vehicle that preyed upon urban paranoia. The understated orchestrations mirror the quiet, desperate brooding of the Bronson’s character; rarely had a leading role contained fewer words or more violence.

Two classic John Peel sessions from the legendary Fall.

This vinyl-only release compiles together the band's two John Peel sessions from 1978. Mastered by Andy Pearce and with art by Becky Stewart.

The Fall were an English post-punk band, formed in Manchester in 1976. The band existed in some form ever since and was essentially built around its founder and only constant member Mark E. Smith.

Initially associated with the punk movement of the late 1970s, the group's music went through several stylistic changes over the years but was often characterised by an abrasive guitar-driven sound and frequent use of repetition, always underpinned by Smith's distinctive vocals and often cryptic lyrics

Arriving in 2002, Graham Coxon's fourth solo album presented an audible stepping up of both the guitarist's songwriting and arranging skills.

'Baby You're out of My Mind's deft fingerpicking nodded to early Bob Dylan, 'Locked Doors' grooved along a loose R&B boogie, while 'It Ain't No Lie's pared-back riffs were cut from a similar cloth to then newly emerging duo The White Stripes.

Less of a DIY affair than its predecessors the album features pedal steel player B.J. Cole and Louis Vause on keyboards, who helped to fully flesh out the eclectic fare on offer.

"I felt free to do whatever I wanted to do. I was expanding my sound and also finding a bit more calm in my songs" says Graham.

Recorded with producer Stephen Street (The Smiths, The Cranberries), 'Happiness In Magazines' is Graham Coxon's fifth solo album.

His most successful solo venture up to that point, 'Happiness In Magazines' went top 20 in the UK album charts and earned the guitarist the Best Solo Artist prize at the 2005 NME Awards.

Spearheaded by 'Bittersweet Bundle Of Misery's note- perfect pop and the riotous, Skids-like 'Freakin' Out', it plugged him into a lineage of classic power pop, UK punk and '60s songwriting.

"'Bittersweet Bundle Of Misery' and 'Freakin' Out' were two of the first things I wrote," recalls Graham. "I remember thinking, Oh, actually, maybe my songwriting is getting a bit better? Maybe I should take this seriously and not be such a control freak? Stephen just got it. He loved what I was getting at, the sound of it and the era it was influenced by - things like The Cars and The Jam."

Originally released in 2001, Graham's third solo album, 'Crow Sit On Blood Tree', found him stretching his wings as a songwriter.

While the likes of 'Burn It Down' and 'You Will Never Be' buzzed with the same noisy alt-rock energy he'd brought to bear on iconic Blur tracks such as 'Song 2', on the record's gentler moments, such as 'All Has Gone' and 'Thank God For The Rain', he showed he could also master the delicate acoustic folk of Nick Drake and Bert Jansch.

"There's absolute mayhem on that at times, but there's quiet songs, too," Graham says of the record, which was recorded, mixed and mastered in just two weeks. "I was still exploring different music and what I could do. I'll turn my hand to so many different types of music if it feels natural."

Os Tincoãs (named after a Brazilian species of the cuckoo bird) were a Brazilian band from Bahia primarily active in the 60s and 70s. Their music was heavily influenced by Candomblé, a Brazilian religion blending traditional West African spiritual beliefs with Roman Catholicism. This resulted in a visionary crossover between samba—plus other "música popular brasileira" styles—and the percussive grooves and vocal harmonies so fundamental to Candomblé. Despite their forward-thinking musical ideas they moved in relative obscurity compared to their peers and released only a handful of albums. Os Tincoãs from 1977 is their fourth record and includes the hauntingly beautiful "Cordeiro De Nanã". The album includes arrangements by the legendary bossa nova pianist João Donato and an original copy is very hard to find, fetching high prices on the second hand market. About time for a reissue, as it hasn't been available on vinyl since 1980 and should be part of any collection, really.

Rich in raw, gritty, from-the-heart grooves, the influence of James Brown is strong, yet the tracks are distinctly Bobby. Oozing style and substance, the album is full of fiery horn sections, strutting guitars and infectious basslines tracked by plenty of prime breakbeats. Front to back stacked with highlights, cuts from the album have been famously sampled by DJ Shadow, Coldcut, and more.

For years 'Funky Super Fly' has been a funk aficionado favourite. It's a sensational set of recordings from vocalist and bandleader Bobby Williams, with plenty of cherished raw-funk heaters in the mix. 'Funky Superfly', 'Soul Brother Party', and 'Let's Jam', are three standouts that have all the ingredients to ignite even the most subdued of dancefloors. The unprocessed natural energy in these songs speaks to your very soul - Bobby grooving over his captivating funk- fuelled band with dynamism and class. Both 'Funky Superfly' and 'Soul Brother Party' appear on the album as one continuous track, whereas on the 7" versions they were cut into parts 1 & 2.Alongside the uptempo dancers on the album, Bobby goes deep on the soul ballad 'Morning Of Love', which simmers with intensity and heartache. The album's closing instrumental track, 'Fair Trade,' has a wah- wah guitar- driven Blaxploitation film soundtrack sensibility, and is a slept-on gem off the album nestled amongst the big hitters.

The use of Bobby's music has been sampled decades later, immortalising him for a new audience of record collectors and sample hunters. The pulsating title track 'Funky Superfly' was used as a sample source for DJ Shadow's 'The Number Song' off his iconic 'Endtroducing' album in 1996. In addition, 'Soul Brother Party' was used a year later on Coldcut's fantastic 'More Beats & Pieces' album. This turned a whole new audience onto the magnetism of Bobby Williams' music and added to the frenzy of hungry DJs in the '90s looking to unearth obscure funk 45s. 'Funky Super Fly' is for those who like their funk and soul at its purest. It's no-nonsense, electrifying and one of the jewels of '70s funk, perfect for fans of James Brown and Charles Bradley.

BIKINI KILL's final studio album originally released in 1996 on Kill Rock Stars.

KATHLEEN HANNA sang, TOBI VAIL played drums, BILLY KARREN (aka BILLY BOREDOM) played guitar and KATHI WILCOX played bass. Bikini Kill is credited with instigating the Riot Grrrl movement in the early ’90s via their political lyrics, zines, and confrontational live performances.

Strut presents 'Nigeria 80', the next essential chapter in the legendary 'Nigeria 70' series, diving deep into the explosive sound world of 1980s Nigeria.

Following the global impact of 2001's 'Nigeria 70', which helped introduce rare Nigerian recordings to international audiences, 'Nigeria 80' continues the journey, unearthing a rich, restless, and wildly creative decade of music from Lagos to Enugu. Despite economic instability and restrictive political conditions in the 1980's, Nigeria’s music industry flourished, driven by a growing network of independent labels such as Tabansi and Phonodisk, which championed local artists and expanded creative freedom. The 1980s also marked a significant rise in visibility for female artists, with trailblazers like Onyeka Onwenu helping to reshape the landscape and open doors for a new generation of performers, writers, and producers.

'Nigeria 80' showcases the extraordinary breadth of this era, with all tracks reissued here for the first time. The compilation brings together essential recordings from across Nigeria’s musical spectrum: highlife greats Victor Uwaifo and Nico Mbarga appear alongside Paulson Kalu, whose personal favourite 'Akugbue Nwa Ewu' stands out as a prime example of the style. Prince David Bull’s 'Soko Soko' (later reinterpreted in Starboy’s Afrobeats hit 'Soco') features as a key touchpoint between eras. Segun Adewale delivers a driving juju workout, while Lekan Animashaun, longtime bandleader of Africa 70, contributes a late-era Afrobeat classic produced in collaboration with Fela Kuti.

The compilation also highlights more experimental and hybrid sounds, from I.C. Rock’s proto–hip hop gem 'Advice' to Evi-Edna Ogholi’s self-produced reggae statement 'The World'. The set closes with 'Apama' by Ibealaoke Chukwukeziri, the 'Apama Boy' from Achi in eastern Nigeria, featuring hypnotic vocals and percussion from his Anaedeonu band.

Before Brian Eno did it, Mort Garson was making discreet music. Julliard-educated and active as a session player in the post-war era, Garson wrote lounge hits, scored the 1969 moon-landing and plush arrangements for Doris Day, and garlanded weeping countrypolitan strings around Glen Campbell’s By the Time I Get to Phoenix.

In the mid-1970s, a force of nature swept across the continental United States, cutting across all strata of race and class, rooting in our minds, our homes, our culture. It wasn’t The Exorcist, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, or even bellbottoms, but instead a book called The Secret Life of Plants. The work of occultist/ former OSS agent Peter Tompkins and former CIA agent/dowsing enthusiast Christopher Bird, the book shot up the bestseller charts and spread like kudzu across the landscape, becoming a phenomenon.

Seemingly overnight, the indoor plant business was in full bloom and photosynthetic eukaryotes of every genus were hanging off walls, lording over bookshelves, and basking on sunny window ledges. The science behind Secret Life was specious: plants can hear our prayers, they’re lie detectors, they’re telepathic, able to predict natural disasters and receive signals from distant galaxies. But that didn’t stop millions from buying and nurturing their new plants.

Perhaps the craziest claim of the book was that plants also dug music. And whether you purchased a snake plant, asparagus fern, peace lily, or what have you from Mother Earth on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles (or bought a Simmons mattress from Sears), you also took home Plantasia, an album recorded especially for them. Subtitled “warm earth music for plants…and the people that love them,” it was full of bucolic, charming, stoner-friendly, decidedly unscientific tunes enacted on the new-fangled device called the Moog.

The album gained an enormous cult following decades after its release. Sacred Bones’ 2019 reissue helped introduce Plantasia to a wider global audience, sparking a remarkable second life for Garson’s unlikely masterpiece.
What was once a strange artifact of 1970s plant-mania has become a beloved evergreen, rediscovered and re-embraced by a new generation of listeners and flourishing far beyond its original moment, evolving from obscure novelty into a beloved cult classic and streaming-era touchstone.

Now, 50 years after its original release, Mother Earth’s Plantasia marks a major anniversary moment. Half a century on, it continues to resonate - an enduring reminder of Mort Garson’s ability to make the synthetic feel strangely alive and the whimsical feel oddly profound.
