NGW2 compilation tape is an unattached sequel to the first part of the series, that was released in 2014.

The end-result is a diverse collection of different tracks, that range from abstract representation to more straight-forward intonations and more rhyt…

Dutch Wave: A History of Minimal Synth & Wave in The Netherlands
The first chapter of Onderstroom digging into the history of Dutch
minimal synth and wave. Who needs a big, expensive recording studio with
all those fancy high-tech machines that only make your weary head spin
when you can do it all by yourself at home in your (teenage) bedroom?
Way back in the early eighties all you really needed was an idea, quite a
bit of guts and some rudimentary equipment. You could basically do
whatever you wanted. The means were limited, yet the sky was unbounded. …
Singapore A-Go-Go
Sublime Frequencies works its way down to the tip of the Malaysian peninsula with this superb collection of Singaporean '60s beat, pop, and "off-beat cha-cha" classics from original vinyl 45s. These 22 supercharged beat-a-go-go tracks defy a common held belief that the Chinese couldn't rock, groove, or swing back in the 1960s. The vocals are sung in the dialects of Mandarin and Hokkien and they soar with catchy hooks atop groovy, clever beats. There's plenty of electric guitar, organ, and…

The First See + Hear, Oh See Can You Say
Amazingly well-timed compendium of See/Hear 1 & 2, both released exactly 49 years ago this month (well, going on 50 actually, in September 1968; this one's been in the works for a few months, mainly due to the insanely effort-oriented reproduction of all of the printed ephemera present in the inner pocket of "The First See + Hear" - all recreated here in perfect 5/12 scale in the form of ten separate inserts grouped into four "folios") &, other than Bill Bissett & Th Mandan Massacre's canonic "A…
Musical Offering
Much-needed reissue of a Melodiya Lp appeared in 1990 - although the recordings date from the 1960s and 1970s - featuring electronic works perfomed at the (legendary) ANS syntheiszer by: Oleg Buloshkin, Sofia Gubaidulina, Eduard Artemiev, Edison Denisov and Alfred Schnittke."Please, try to imagine a score sounding by itself without a conductor, orchestra even without musical instuments.

Musica Para El Fin De Los Cantos: Reinterpretaciones
Cocktail D'Amore showed the breadth of their tastes when they reissued Ukranian composer Iury Lech's 1990 album Musica Para El Fin De Los Cantos last year. Now the label has commissioned a raft of remixes from some label regulars, with wonderful and diverse results. Powder drops her signature snaking rhythmic trysts over "Barreras", while "Cuando Rocio Dispara Sus Flechas" benefits from an abstract, ambient reworking from Suzanne Kraft. Hatchback takes to "Posmeridiano" with a delicate to…
The Voyager Golden Record
In 1977, NASA launched two spacecraft, Voyager 1 and 2, on a grand tour of the solar system and into the mysteries of interstellar space. Attached to each of these probes is a beautiful golden record containing a message for any extraterrestrial intelligence that might encounter it, perhaps billions of years from now. This enchanting artifact, officially called the Voyager Interstellar Record, may be the last vestige of our civilization after we are gone forever.
The Golden Record tells the sto…

Grounds for Possible Music
Gender, voice, language, and identity in musical composition and experimental sound practices.How do we get to imagine the music we make? Where and how is it grounded? What is the relationship between the art and its maker, and what and who does music represent?Gender, voice, language, and identity are four important notions for musical creation, for the shaping of a canon, and for the interactions in the field. All four notions are strongly contextual and carry an inherent sense of paradigm and…
