Jac Berrocal – Vincent Epplay – Timo van Luijk LP Ste Cy – La Scie Dorée
Ste Cy, the latest studio offering from the trio of Jac Berrocal, Vincent Epplay, and Timo van Luijk, ripens like a forbidden fruit—born of an improvised instrumental session captured in the secluded hush of Kulta Saha by Timo van Luijk.
These raw recordings were later reshaped into 12 songs by Vincent Epplay at Studio Villejuif in Paris. And over it all drifts the poetry of Jac Berrocal— sensual and incendiary, seeping into the music like spice into flesh.
As always it’s superbly produced and has a surrealist and a film noir vibe.

Wired (Michael Ranta &Karl-Heinz Böttner) LP Kyoto 1970 – Metaphon
Wired was an ephemeral improvisational music project formed by Michael Ranta, Karl-Heinz Böttner, and Mike Lewis. On 28 April 1970, the trio recorded an extended studio session of approximately 140 minutes, in collaboration with Conny Plank, who engineered and mixed the recording in real time, incorporating elements of live electronics. This session was subsequently edited to album length and released in 1974 as part of the Free Improvisation 3LP box set issued by Deutsche Grammophon, alongside recordings by Iskra and New Phonic Art.
The present release, sourced from the personal archive of Michael Ranta, documents a live duo performance by Ranta and Böttner, recorded on 27 July 1970 in an outdoor setting in Kyoto (the exact location remains unknown), before an audience of approximately 200 music teachers. The recording exhibits sonic and aesthetic characteristics closely aligned with the previously recorded studio material, retaining the distinctive “Wired” sound while situating it within a live, site-specific context.
Michael Ranta: percussion, voice, home-made instruments, tapes, tape delay, effects
Karl-Heinz Böttner: guitar, organ, ocarina, voice, effects

Cheru LP Omamori – Gingembre records
Released in 2021, Cheru is not very well known on our shores. What is life with her ? Some songs, only with a voice, a guitar and a few discreet environmental sounds. It couldn’t be more direct and simple on the paer. Sometimes she can remind us Eddie Marcon or remembering how magical is seeing,looking at a sky and being lost in our thoughts & memories.

Masami Kawaguchi & Max Devereaux CD Collapse on the Horizon – UFO Creations
The collaboration between American guitarist Max Devereaux and Japanese guitarist Kawaguchi Masami began in 2021, when Devereaux first encountered Kawaguchi’s work and reached out to express admiration and interest in collaboration. During a subsequent tour of Japan, Devereaux invited Kawaguchi to his live performances, fostering an early rapport and mutual curiosity that would later inform their music.
These initial exchanges—both in letters and in shared presence—laid the foundation for a deeply attentive, improvisational partnership.

la scène 裸身 2CD ‘Futaishitsu Souzou’ – Inner Pleasure
Second album by this Japanese duo made up of female vocalist and bassist Saya Mei and male guitarist Eiji Hashizume..
“la scène” is a word the band uses to represent the Japanese word “裸身 ,” meaning “naked body”. Using simple and subtle expression, they express the universal and infinite place which connects our senses in this world to worlds beyond. A duo made up of vocalist/bassist Saya and guitarist Eiji, the band’s sound approaches slowcore and acid folk, with slow-motion dreamscape guitars and whispery vocals. Hiroshi from Asylum is playing on some tracks and all along the 2 CDs, they also use a wider instrumentation suchas percussion, organ and drums. The music is somewhere Nagisa Ni Te , Les Rallizes Denudes but it’s produced with great care and doesn’ t have the opacity of many Japanese related psych bands.
We love that band, it took 7 years to make but it’s hard to not return to their music after 2 hours. Comes in a gatefold with lyrics.

Chi To Shizuku CD Ethos, Pathos, and Logos – UFO Creations
ltd to 100
-This work is sacred, mournful, mysterious, romantic, and fantastical, embodying a balance of strength and tenderness. -It merges melodic and experimental elements, combining orchestration with free improvisation, existing in a nebulous space between psychedelic, enka, and power pop genres !
-It represents a Japanese dark psychedelic ballad spirit, very similar to the An’archives LP

DUB-HEI & NEW CHANELL + JUKE/19. 2CD boxset Live rec. at TAD 2023.9.18 – Flying Saucer
This two-CD set captures the performance of “Dub-Hei & New Chanel + JUKE/19.”, which took place at the Toyama Prefectural Museum of Art on the final day of the “Shinro Ohtake” exhibition’s touring tour, which began at the National Museum of Modern Art in 2022.
“Dub-Hei & New Chanel” is both an art piece, composed of multiple collages on a three-dimensional stage-like structure, and a musical performance device, with guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, and turntables all remotely controlled to function and perform like a band. The entire stage is transformed into a stunning sound system, a gigantic work of art. Previously, this system featured ∈Y∋ (BOREDOMS) performing with Destroy All Monsters, and his collaboration with Kazuhisa Uchihashi was also released as the CD “Uchidub.”
During the recorded performance, Toshiaki Toyama, a close friend who had been with Shinro Ohtake since the early ’80s in JUKE/19., brought a set of modified instruments he had made himself and intruded into Dub Hei & New Chanel’s performance. The resulting performance plunged into a sonic world like a black hole, swallowing everything up, something never before possible with Dub Hei & New Chanel alone. It was a powerful performance that seemed to condense the history of Ohtake’s music, beginning with JUKE/19., into a mass of sound saturated with industrial textures, complemented by Shinro Ohtake’s performance, creating a chaotic soundscape and an overwhelming acoustic space.
