Daniel Johnston's major label debut Fun was originally released in 1994 on Atlantic Records while he was housed in a mental institution. Featuring some of Daniel's finest songwriting and boasting the most "accessible" sound of his eccentric and deep catalog, producer Paul Leary (Butthole Surfers) eloquently preserves the singer/songwriter's earnest appeal and wraps it in sympathetic musical support. The aspiring cartoonist's playful, symbol-heavy sketches have graced many of his album covers, including Fun.

John Coltrane's final album for Atlantic bookends the exploratory motifs he explores on his Impulse! debut, Africa/Brass,recorded concurrently, with each involving knotty rhythmic shifts and Spanish-derived textures. Bonding with an amazing band that includes pianist McCoy Tyner, drummer Elvin Jones, and an uncredited Eric Dolphy (due to contractual reasons), Coltrane welcomes improvisations and ranging outside conventional parameters, all the while retaining melodic beauty. Yet the biggest attraction on the 1961 effort comes via the double-bass interplay between Art Davis and Reggie Workman, whose back-and-forth exchanges produce heat and cause the leader to up his own game. Mastered from the original master tapes, this dead-quiet 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents each pluck of the acoustic basses with tremendous body and decay. Long overdue for audiophile treatment, Olé Coltrane is ready for its closeup, and how.

Aztlan Unearthed is an indigenous focused acoustic group that is an extension of the group Aztlan / Anahuak Underground, featuring members Yaotl Mazahua, Joe Galarza and Caxo. Seeking to preserve their native culture, the music highlights the instruments inherited from their ancestors, in an effort to channel their sounds, energies, and frequencies. The project was produced and mixed by Carlos Niño, and is available on physical and digital formats beginning September 20th. The vinyl release includes bonus track “Aetheriaztlan” by Carlos Niño & Friends (with Jesse Peterson and Aztlan Unearthed), originally released on the Leaving Records album “Flutes, Echoes, It's All Happening!” by Carlos Niño & Friends.

Tracklist:
1 Welcoming of the Bird People
2 Windsong Giver
3 Awakening Flowering Earth
4 In the Caves of the Heart
5 The Wind is Our Song From Below
6 To Walk In All Beauty
7 Aetheriaztlan (Carlos Niño & Friends with Jesse Peterson and Aztlan Unearthed)*

Originally released in 1960, and on the heels of Giant Steps, Coltrane Jazz came in the midst of the saxophonist's peak Atlantic period. The album is among several recordings that Coltrane issued from 1959-1961, and which, ultimately, forever changed the face of music. Not surprisingly, Miles Davis' influence is felt throughout; his rhythm section is used on all but one selection. This reissue was mastered from the original master tapes at 45rpm with meticulous care, pressed on two 180gram LPs, and is housed in an old school tip-on style gatefold jacket. The essential edition of Coltrane Jazz.
