Jon Appleton & Don Cherry
Human MusicFlying Dutchman/BGP (UK), 1969. New Copy Gatefold (reissue)
LP...$25.99
29.99
A fantastic record – and a really mindblowing mix of spiritual jazz and electronics! The set is an amazing collaboration between trumpeter Don Cherry and pioneering electronic musician Jon Appleton – one of those rare meetings of the minds that goes far deeper than you'd expect! On ... LP, Vinyl record album
La Monte Young/
31 VII 69 10:26 to 10:49 PM/Edition X/Superior Viaduct, 1969. New Copy (reissue)
Some of the most haunting music we've ever heard from spiritual minimalist La Monte Young – a set that was issued on his own small label at the end of the 60s, as a series of duets with his wife, Marian Zazeela – who's a heck of a creative force on the album! The set's got plenty of ... LP, Vinyl record album
Steve Birchall
Reality Gates – Electronic MeditationsOvation/Soave (Italy), 1973. New Copy (reissue)
LP...$35.99
37.99
A wild set of electronic work from the American heartland of the 70s – a set that claims to bring you to a "higher stage of truth" – but which has a sound that's a lot more bracing at times than more meditative electronic and new age albums from the decade! Steve Birchall ... LP, Vinyl record album
Ayako Shinozaki
Music Now For HarpDenon/We Want Sounds (UK), 1973. New Copy (reissue)
LP...$31.99
34.99
A bold new frontier for use of the harp in experimental music – and that's saying a lot, given that Ayako Shinozaki recorded this album during the generation of Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby! Shinokazi takes the instrument a bit back towards its use in more serious music, but with ... LP, Vinyl record album
Terry Riley
Standard(s)and – Kobuchizawa Sessions #1Star (Japan), 2023. New Copy
CD...$24.99
29.99
Really beautiful work from the great Terry Riley – and a set that continues some of the surprising and wonderful shift towards jazz improvisation he's brought to his career in more recent years! If you know Riley, you'll know that the record's not really a jazz album – and instead, it ... CD
Ariel Kalma, Jeremiah Chiu, & Marta Sofia Honer
Closest Thing To SilenceInternational Anthem, 2024. New Copy
Jeremiah Chiu and Marta Sofia Honer gave us an excellent previous record on the International Anthem label – one that mixed field recordings with sounds of their own – an approach that's continued here as the pair are joined by Ariel Kalma, whose instrumentation really adds a wonderful ... CD
Jordan De La Sierra
Gymnosphere – Song Of The RoseUnity/Numero, 1978. New Copy 2CD
CD...$12.99
22.99
Spacey piano work from Jordan De La Sierra – material that's clearly informed by the 60s experiments of La Monte Young and Terry Riley, but which also has a more open, spiritual quality too! The piano has a nice sense of tuning – one that's almost watery at points – and Jordan's ... CD
Denis Wise
Wize MusicFinders Keepers (UK), Late 70s/Early 80s. New Copy
LP...$10.99
26.99
Denis Wise plays all instruments on this record – everything but the kitchen sink! Oh wait – the liner notes actually indicate that he does play a kitchen sink – and a garbage disposal too – but in ways that are completely changed, as he mixes them with sounds from a ... LP, Vinyl record album

Obscure/Dialogo (Italy), Mid 70s. New Copy 10CDs
CD...$158.99
179.99
A massive tribute to this groundbreaking, genre-busting label – a short-lived imprint on Island Records that was put together by Brian Eno in the mid 70s – all to showcase some of the best new experiments in avant classical and minimalist music! There's a special sort of quality to ... CD
Tricatel (France), 2023. New Copy 2LP
LP...$78.99
99.99
A sublime mix of art, jazz, and other unusual sounds – served up in tribute to the roving 7 x 7 exhibition series, and with a really beautiful package! The book itself is great – 12" square, and with 64 pages of artwork and writing in the middle – graced by recordings from a ... LP, Vinyl record album
Hideki Matsutake, Masashi Komatsubara, & KOnae Imato
EdoColumbia/Soave (Italy), 1977. New Copy (reissue)
LP...$24.99
32.99
Back in the 70s, there were plenty of records that mixed together the Japanese shamisen with more contemporary sounds – but of them all, this set might well be one of the wildest – as it features two side-long tracks that mix the acoustic strings of the ancient instrument with a mix of ... LP, Vinyl record album
Joanna Brouk
Sounds Of The Sea (light blue vinyl pressing)Numero, 1981. New Copy
LP...$21.99
23.99
Some of the moodiest, most majestic music we've ever heard from composer Joanna Brouk – which might be a surprise, given that the initial release of the album was only on a cassette with a relatively cheesy cover! There's a depth here that's almost like 4AD at its mid-80s height – very ... LP, Vinyl record album
Glenn Branca
Ascension99 Records/Superior Viaduct, Early 80s. New Copy (reissue)
LP...$20.99
22.99
A masterpiece of new music for guitar from the legendary Glenn Branca – a set that both draws on all the minimal experiments on the New York scene of the 70s, and the big wave of underground music at the end of the decade! Branca effortlessly fuses the rock and compositional communities here ... LP, Vinyl record album
Arnold Dreyblatt & The Orchestra Of Excited Strings
ResolveDrag City, 2023. New Copy
LP...$19.99
21.99
Really great work from Arnold Dreyblatt – a set that's almost a distillation of his excited strings material from many years back, taken into rock minimalism territory that almost seems to tie it to early projects from composer Glenn Branca too! The strings here are all electric – ... LP, Vinyl record album
La Monte Young/
31 VII 69 10:26 to 10:49 PM/Edition X/Superior Viaduct, 1969. New Copy
Some of the most haunting music we've ever heard from spiritual minimalist La Monte Young – a set that was issued on his own small label at the end of the 60s, as a series of duets with his wife, Marian Zazeela – who's a heck of a creative force on the album! The set's got plenty of ... CD
Rhythm Productions, 1955. New Copy
CD...$14.99
16.99
Very early work from Ruth White – a set that's very different than her late 60s electronic experiments, yet one that also still manages to have a similarly sort of creepy vibe overall! The work is exactly what's promised in the title – a set of 24 lullabies, sung in different languages ... CD
Drumony/Strut (UK), 1982. New Copy
CD...$13.99
14.99
Very cool music from UK experimentalist Lori Vambe – an artist who works here on two very percussive albums that were issued on his own label back in the 80s, but with a style that's really unlike anything else we can think of! The music has a bit more punch than the "dreamtime" ... CD
Eugene Chadbourne
There'll Be No Tears TonightParachute/Corbett vs. Dempsey, 1980. New Copy Gatefold
CD...$12.99
15.99
One of the most compelling albums ever recorded by guitarist Eugene Chadbourne – a set billed as "free improvised country and western bebop" – and which features Chadbourne serving up these wild variations on tunes by Carl Perkins, Roger Miller, David Allen Coe, Bobby Bare, ... CD
Tod Dockstader
Eight Electronic PiecesFolkways, 1961. Very Good
Wonderful early electronic works by Tod Dockstader – with a turgid sound that's very reminiscent of some of the early French Musique Concrete recordings from the 50s. Waves of sound collide and clash, opening up dark modern soundscapes that seem to point towards an outside referent – ... LP, Vinyl record album

Philip Glass
Satyagraha (3LP Box Set)Columbia, 1985. Near Mint- 3LP Box Set
LP...$33.99
39.99
Amazing work from Philip Glass – his second great opera, and a long-overdue follow-up to Einstein On The Beach – a set of music that's every bit as great as that groundbreaking work, but maybe even with stronger, fuller execution overall! The piece looks at the early political years of ... LP, Vinyl record album

Theremin (aka Art Of The Theremin)Delos, Mid 70s. Near Mint-
A groundbreaking album of theremin music – recorded at a time when many people had forgotten about the instrument a bit, but at a level that takes the electronic force to a whole new level! The theremin first rose to fame on 50s sci fi soundtracks and weird mood music records – and ... LP, Vinyl record album

Morton Subotnick
SidewinderColumbia, Late 60s. Near Mint-
Fantastic! This is one of the best of the early Morton Subotnick albums – and it's one long composition filled with raw anologue synth sounds, mixed in such a way that resembles some of the best early French work in the same vein. Very scary stuff – and with less nonsense than some of ... LP, Vinyl record album
