Organic Pulse Ensemble – Oppression Is Nine Tenths Of The Law
Couldn't load pickup availability
Swedish multi-instrumentalist Gustav Horneij has been quietly building a reputation under the Organic Pulse Ensemble name, and Oppression Is Nine Tenths Of The Law shows exactly why. Working alone but sounding like a small collective, Horneij folds spiritual jazz, deep groove, and a strong political undercurrent into six focused pieces.
The title track opens with a driving, no-nonsense rhythm that sets the tone for what follows, while “Have Nots And Have Lots” spins a rolling, hypnotic cadence that blurs the line between meditation and movement. “Peace As A Political Statement” and “Double Standards” pull directly from jazz’s activist lineage, taut and urgent but never losing their flow. “Skulder Och Skuldror” nods to Horneij’s Scandinavian roots, its bass lines thick and percussion simmering with restraint, before “Balancing The Scales” signs off with steady determination.
It’s a record that feels stripped back but never slight—liberation music distilled to its essentials, played with sincerity and bite. Pressed in a limited run of 1000 copies and housed in a classic tip-on sleeve, this is a modern statement piece that sits comfortably in the lineage of spiritual jazz while sounding fresh, personal, and distinctly of the moment.

Shipping FAQ
**Heads-up for our U.S. customers:
The new U.S. executive order effective August 29, 2025 ends the de minimis duty-free exemption (under $800) for most goods. But—good news—this does not apply to music and informational media like vinyl, CDs, tapes, cassettes, posters, and more, which remain exempt thanks to longstanding U.S. law (50 U.S.C. 1702(b)(3)).
So when you order from us, your favorite records and media stay tariff-safe, just as they always have.

Condition/Grading FAQ
We follow the Goldmine standard (S / M / NM / VG+ / VG / etc.) and grade both the vinyl and the sleeve separately when necessary. We visually inspect every record and play-grade whenever there’s doubt.
What do the grades mean?
- S (Sealed): The record is sealed and has never been played.
- M (Mint): The record is like new, with no visible light scratches or cracks. Sleeve is in pristine condition, like new.
- NM (Near Mint): Vinyl looks and plays almost like new. Cover is free of creases, ring wear and seam splits of any kind.
- VG+ (Very Good Plus: Vinyl has a few light marks, maybe some light background noise. Cover shows only very minor seam wear or a split.
- VG (Very Good); Vinyl has noticeable wear, but still plays through without skips. Cover shows signs of human handling (ring wear, creases, seam splitting, writing or markings from a price tag).
If necessary, more detailed condition notes are included on each product page.
