I MISS YOU
Produced by Yakkle and performed by Shing02 entirely in Japanese, this 7-inch captures a tender love story over elegant piano and melancholy melody reminiscent of the Luv(sic) series. The B-side features a remix spotlighting guitar and saxophone, with scratches by Spin Master A-1.
Lonerism
Tame Impala's second album is a landmark of contemporary psychedelic rock that propelled the Australian project to global renown. From Feels Like We Only Go Backwards to Elephant, this double LP reissue is an essential addition to any collection.
Out Of Time
R.E.M.'s gentlest revolution strips away alternative rock's edge in favor of poetic soul and melancholy. This 2016 25th anniversary 180-gram pressing comes with a digital download and stands as one of the defining albums of the era.
Fallen
The defining cry of early 2000s gothic rock, Evanescence's debut album arrived fully formed and reshaped a generation's sound. This 180-gram pressing brings the iconic record back into circulation for a limited window.
Variety [30th Anniversary Edition]
Written and composed entirely by Mariya Takeuchi and produced by Tatsuro Yamashita, this 30th anniversary CD edition remastered the audio and added previously unreleased tracks alongside Takeuchi's own liner notes, including multiple mixes of the legendary Plastic Love.
I MISS YOU
Following the instant sellout of Hatsukoi, THT releases this all-Japanese romantic hip-hop collaboration between Shing02 and Yakkle. The B-side remix spotlights guitar and saxophone with scratches by Spin Master A-1.
MTV Unplugged
At the height of their powers in 1995, The Cranberries took the MTV Unplugged stage and stripped back the distortion to reveal something more fragile and beautiful. Dolores O'Riordan's voice, backed by strings, turns Zombie and Linger into entirely new experiences.
Voodoo
D'Angelo's second album defined the Neo-Soul era with its deep grooves, languid rhythms, and genius arrangements that seamlessly fuse soul, jazz, and hip-hop. This double LP reissue arrives at an exceptional price point.
Otomo Yoshihide's 15-piece New Jazz Orchestra does not simply recreate Dolphy's 1964 Blue Note classic but surgically dismantles and reconstructs it from a Japanese avant-garde perspective. Noise, turntables, free jazz energy, and sudden punk outbursts collide throughout. Belgian label Aguirre issues this double LP repress in a limited edition of 400 copies.
