Thursday, August 6, 2026 • Vinyl Finds from Around the World
13 Chambers
The legendary mashup project by Cecil Otter and Swiss Andy, splicing Washington D.C. post-hardcore titans Fugazi with the most influential hardcore hip-hop crew of all time, Wu-Tang Clan. Once a free online underground classic, now pressed to colored vinyl — two wildly unrelated legends colliding into surprising harmony.
I Must Be Dreaming
After an eleven-year wait, Alabama Shakes return with a brand-new album. Beneath a rock framework built on soul and blues, Brittany Howard's voice remains raw and blazing, the band's explosive honesty undimmed — proof the long wait was worth it.
Live in Amsterdam
The debut album from Japanese guitarist Atsushi Fukuroku, a live recording made in Amsterdam in 2025 after a Japanese tour that included a sold-out show at Shinjuku Pit Inn. Tight interplay with three musicians forged on Europe's jazz front line preserves all the live energy. Mixed by Takuro Okada, mastered by Joe Talia; CD issued by disk union's SOMETHIN'COOL label.
接吻 / 接吻 (NGONG Amapiano Remix)
A cover of Original Love's classic '接吻 (Kiss),' reimagined by Kick a Show with smooth, soulful vocals and auto-tuned color. The B-side carries a remix by Okinawa-based beatmaker NGONG, built on South African-rooted Amapiano for a fresh dancefloor groove. 7-inch vinyl.
苦楽
Aomori hard-rock legends Ningen Isu reissue their classic album 'Kuraku' as a heavyweight double LP. Dark, heavy riffs wrapped in Japanese literature and Tsugaru dialect fuse 70s Black Sabbath-style muscle with a distinctly Japanese narrative.
新青年
Ningen Isu's album 'Shinseinen' issued as a heavyweight double LP. Continuing the band's signature heavy guitars and brooding storytelling, it binds Showa-era literary nostalgia to solid hard-rock metal — proof of this veteran band's enduring creative force.
サガリバナ feat. kojikoji & HUNGER
A new single from DJ Mitsu the Beats, continuing his signature delicate sampling and warm sound. kojikoji's translucent, weightless vocals and HUNGER's steady, fluid rap drift naturally between hip-hop, soul and R&B, weaving a deep nocturnal mood. 7-inch vinyl.
Ceremony ~ Buddha Meet Rock
One of the most legendary and mysterious albums in Japanese psychedelic history. Led by producer Naoki Tachikawa and gathering top players like Kimio Mizutani, it takes 'the fusion of Buddhism and rock' as its theme — heavily distorted psych guitar, dark organ and sitar interlacing with Buddhist chanting, wood-block and bells into an otherworldly ritual. Originally released by Teichiku in 1971, with original copies fetching up to $4,000, now reissued on limited clear-yellow vinyl.
Play
Moby's career-defining classic 'Play,' folding blues and gospel samples into electronic beats to become a landmark that swept the late 90s. A 180g heavyweight double LP, at a rare price nearly in step with UK/US releases.

The ninth volume of the 'For Jazz Vocal Fans Only' series, personally curated by renowned jazz figure Yasukuni Terashima. Since 2015, Terashima has hand-picked great voices, great sound and great songs, beloved by countless fans. His conviction: jazz is about the song itself, not showy improvisation — you're sure to find the voice that moves you here.
For Jazz Ballad Fans Only Vol.7
The seventh volume of the 'For Jazz Ballad Fans Only' series, embodying Yasukuni Terashima's singular taste with committed performances from newcomers to seasoned veterans. A record made for 'conversing with music and quietly sinking into it' — the essence of the jazz ballad, released alongside Vocal Vol.9.
A record that guides the listener back to inner calm amid a noisy, chaotic world. The debut solo album from Harlan Silverman, a member of Portland's 'Great Black Music' collective The Cosmic Tones Research Trio, built around the Indian bamboo flute (Bansuri) and fusing Indian classical, Japanese environmental music and Western ambient. Generous silence lets the sound breathe, closing on a profound question: 'What would peace actually sound like?' Released by Mississippi Records.
