Aya Matsuura's 3rd album "x3" will be made into the long-awaited first analog record! From "Ne~e?", which became a hot topic in the FT Shiseido commercial, to "GGood bye Natsuo," a momentary number about saying goodbye to the man you fell in love with in the summer, to "The Last Night," a ballad sung full of emotion, all songs have appeared on the Oricon charts. Contains 3 singles that reached the top 3. Also includes Matsuura's version of "Get Up! Rapper" and "High Tuned Mix" of "Yeah! Meccha Holiday"! Teppan's third album is packed with plenty of her charm.

ECD's Shibuya-kei classic straight ball cover is a limited reprint of analogue only after 23 years! The fancy singing voice reminiscent of Scritti Politti of Masumi Arichika, an ally from the Variéte era, is also worth listening to. The remix by "Tatsuo Sunaga" of Coupling is also a must-listen. The vinyl colour is a clear red board, speaking of roses!

"Forever Jan" packs 25 (!) years into the most comprehensive compilation possible - and, despite all the stylistic diversity, makes the common thread of this extraordinary career recognizable in every respect. Jan Delay himself has become an icon of German pop: He has shaped how music sounds in this country, and he has inspired entire generations to listen to their raveheart and consistently do their thing.

But above all, he has always remained a fan. Anyone who has shared a dancefloor with Jan at five o'clock in the morning or discussed the latest Soundso record with him, indeed anyone who has experienced him on stage even once, knows what music means to him, how it drives him, how it defines his work. The beats, the bass, the whole boom, that's his element. And he has always transferred this passion very directly into his own projects. Anyone who hears "Forever Jan" knows that this fire will burn forever.

"Forever Jan" comes with 2 new tracks, classics, rarities and floor fillers.

Limited hardcover book in vinyl format incl. 2 new tracks: 5-fold vinyl (colored, 180g) and 2 CDs with glued-in 20-page booklet and signed DIN A5 photo

"Formed in 1975, Throbbing Gristle, aka Chris Carter, Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson (1955-2010), Cosey Fanni Tutti, and Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (1950-2020), fully delivered on punk’s failed promise to explore extreme culture as a way of sabotaging systems of control. Their impact on music, culture, and the arts has been immeasurable and still felt today.

Having reformed in 2004, Throbbing Gristle’s The Third Mind Movements initially emerged as an exclusive release only available on the band’s last ever American tour in 2009, before they split again in 2010. The album travels through manipulated, time-stretched, and distorted samples, with rhythmical breakbeats and hypnotic oscillations of electronics.

The Third Mind Movements is released alongside TGCD1 - both vital additions for dedicated Throbbing Gristle and industrial music fans."

Toko Furuuchi’s two popular albums, “Futsuu no Koto” and “cashmere Music”, which were released during her Pony Canyon era from 2003 to 2007, will be released as analog records for the first time on August 3, 2024.

“cashmere Music” was released as her 14th original album in 2005. The album features four arrangers: Toshiyuki Mori, Shin Kono, Yuta Saito, and Ryuji Yamamoto. It includes a variety of song arrangements, ranging from standard urban AOR numbers and catchy 80's sounds to funky songs, electro, and hip-hop sound approaches. Furuuchi’s unique world of sad poetry adds a new direction for the next album and beyond.

Side D includes a bonus track titled “Somewhere in Tokyo”, which is the first collaboration with Takaki Horigome of Kirinji. Additionally, the album features a new cover of “9ji karano Lily” by Japanese group called “Cappuccino”, written by Yu Aku and Shunichi Tokura in 1981.

In addition, a high-quality Blu-spec2 CD will be reissued on July 24th, 2024 preceding vinyl records.

“The two albums “Futsuu no Koto” and “cashmere Music”, which are now being reissued on vinyl, were carefully crafted at the time, and I have a lot of fond memories of them. Even now, many of the songs are often sung at my concerts, and I still have an ongoing affinity and love for them. I hope you will enjoy them anew as vinyl records.”
