The UK-based Confront label, run by percussionist Mark Wastell, has developed an extensive catalog of free improvisation over the last decade. Originally revolving around Wastell's Sound 323 retail record store, the label has become the main focus for a great roster of UK & European improvisers. Much of the material balances the traditions of the European/UK Free Improv community, while others present fully freely improvised sound and music, experimental work, lowercase, and ea-improv albums. Wastell's selections are impeccable, and the catalog is a great representation of the current state of exploratory improvisation.

Next week we expect to receive two new releases on the label, including an improv album with David Sylvian. In anticipation, we've decided to reduce the price of all pre-2017 Confront releases by $3.00, or $10.95 each. Take a good look at the albums in this Confront sale, and take advantage of these great prices!

Haino Keiji's first album, "Watashi Dake" has been reissued on vinyl for the first time since it's release in 1981. For the initial reissue, the Black Editions label offered us a reduced price. We were able to snag just a few copies at this price that we're selling at $23.95, after which we'll price at the regular retail price of $29.95. If you're thinking about picking up a copy of this interesting album that launched a truly enigmatic and amazing career, now's a good time to get one!

We're never quite caught up with new releases that constantly come in our door, and we don't like to rush a release to our homepage. That said, the following releases have already been stocked at Squidco, and are able to be ordered. In most cases we have images, often have samples, and some basic description of each release.
