about

From his appearance on Alan Watts’ This Is It to his epic piece on I Am The Center, the prolific Joel Andrews is the suzerain of new age harp. And what Vision Songs is to Laraaji’s catalog, Paradise Bird is for Joel Andrews — the outlier, the beautiful odd one; summery, jubilant, captivating. Joined by partner and fellow harpist Serafina Andrews and friend, vocalist and genius of the kalimba Pinche Pete Velasquez, this beautiful record has the power to calm the fussiest babies.

Presented on vinyl for the first time—directly from the original master tapes with no digital step—this 1985 cassette-only release has the power to cure your depression.

Edition of 500

Music for Saxofone and Bass Guitar
by Sam Gendel & Sam Wilkes

Just discovered Sam Wilkes and some of his work and bass playing, and arrived to this record. It reminds me a lot to John Hassell/Eno era a bit more jazzy, and all the ambient music from the 80’s. I love it! Santi Umbert
