Just discovered this label, quite similar to ECM which is one of my favourites, with similar art work, engineering and music catalogue. Not sure if the company is new, now hearing Nils Landgren - The Moon, The Stars And You album....sublime!

The label has been around for many years. Its sort of a "poor man's" ECM. Recordings are good but not up to Manfred Eicher's standards. High quality jazz and some of the roster gets to plug in. Check out a wildly talented and a bit insane jazz/metal band called Panzer Ballett.
