NEW ARRIVALS

A masterpiece from 1959, the highest point of modern jazz in music history. Bill Evans compared the improvisational nature of the music to Japanese caligraphy. The bottomless silence and infinite possibilities of this extreme tension are hard to find in any other music or musician.

This is the first analog re-release of the first album “I/O” released in 1978, which was produced by Akio Niitsu in a handmade studio converted from a storage room in his house, where he composed and engineered everything by himself over a period of three years by recording multiple guitars.

This is a lost album of experimental/ambient music that was conceived six years earlier than “E2-E4”, an album released by Manuel Goetting, the main member of “Ashe La Tempel”, in 1984, but was buried because it was released too early!

The paradoxical sound that seems to wander deep into a labyrinthine forest, combined with artwork by Tadanori Yokoo, allows you to enjoy Akio Niitsu's worldview with your ears and eyes.

Dedicated to the Island -soundwalk & music for SAUNTER magazine- is a new work by DJ/musician Kaoru Inoue, also known as Chari Chari. The album was released in September 2023 as a limited edition bonus CD for the special feature "Yakushima Today" in the sixth issue of SAUNTER magazine, a travel magazine published by the Yakushima-based publishing company Kiltibooks, and is now available for the first time on vinyl! The album is a gem of organic electronic music, including 9 tracks such as "Mizukumi," "Nagareru," and "Hoshifuru," which were produced based on field recordings made in Yakushima. It will be released as an RSD limited edition LP record (180g vinyl with liner notes) on "RECORD STORE DAY" on Saturday, April 20, 2024.
