Magnetic Fields & Zero Dimension Planes
2008 release ** Comes in a folded A2-poster sleeve. "The Belgian label Consouling Sounds, which specializes in guitar drone and has already released, among other things, the fantastic remix LP by N entitled "Bergen: Skizzen + Notiz" (Bergen: Sketches + Notes), has released the CD "Magnetic Fields & Zero Dimension Planes," a compilation that can confidently be described as a current overview of the genre. The opening track is a highlight, as "Amsterdam 2 Uhr Nachts" is the first sign of life from…
Noise.il
2006 release ** "Israel has a growing noise scene with a growing number of artists, who from time to time organize noise nights/shows – such as the one recorded here on "Noise.IL", sometime in the summer of 2005.While not as large as the Japanese or anywhere near as large as the American noise scene, the Israeli scene is alive and kicking in various styles. Each one of the six artists on this nine-track album shows a different part of the spectrum, from easy-listening tracks such as the bizarre…
Kompakt 500
Over the decades, the image of Kompakt as a pirate ship has taken root in our minds, braving the dangers of the seven seas of the music market. Sometimes it glides with a tailwind through calm waters, sometimes it has to survive violent storms. When we set sail in 1993, we never would have dreamt that our journey would still be going on after more than three decades and with 500 releases to date.
In our fast-paced business, the 500 mark is rarely reached, so we want to celebrate it with a lavish…
Centrafrique - Central Africa
A long-time best-seller of the MEG-AIMP collection and long out of print, this album of sanza music recorded among the Gbaya people of the Central African Republic by ethnomusicologist Vincent Dehoux was originally released on CD in 1993. It is now being reissued to coincide with the exhibition Afrosonica - Soundscapes. It features a selection of 'songs for thought': an intimate repertoire conducive to introspection, accompanied by the repetitive, meditative sound of lamellaphones.

Comrades In Lost...
2004 release ** 'Comrades in Lost' is the multimedia / audio CD, which is created with an aim to introduce people to latvian industrial music. Sound material presents each musician’s search in the field of industrial music, what comes from a personal belief and experience. Soundscape shows influences of martial industrial, power electronics and IDM, but can’t be placed in a frame of a particular style. The sound remains individual and satiated, with a touch of experiment, but not experimental. T…
Chronik 1
2009 release ** "After issuing three releases, numerous film scores, and projects in the new media and audio-visual fields, Zurich, Switzerland-based Trepok rec. engages in a “European dialogue” with Chronik1, a stylistically diverse compilation of electronic music.

SoundScapes Festival # 4 Berlin 2023
"Finnish saxophonist Harri Sjöström has been calling Berlin home for nearly 40 years, and for over 10 of them, he has been organizing concerts at venues around the city, featuring a who-is-who of the city's rich improvisation scene and beyond, under the title "SoundScapes." Starting in 2016, he extended the concept and held the first two SoundScapes Festivals in Helsinki, followed by one in Munich, and then, finally, in his adopted hometown. SoundScapes #4 was held over two mid-autumn nights in …
Jardim Elétrico - A Tribute To Os Mutantes
2007 release ** "The continuing impact of Os Mutantes' music as their work became more widely known outside Brazil is reflected in this enjoyable tribute compilation -- if, as with all such tributes, nothing quite compares to hearing the original versions, it's the feeling of celebration which such a collection can produce which justifies it, so long as the performances work in their own right. The bands range from all over the map, from some long-lived legends in their own right to up-and-come…
Essays On Radio: Can I Have 2 Minutes Of Your Time?
2005 release ** "Compiled by @c's Miguel Carvalhais, Essays on Radio: Can I Have 2 Minutes of Your Time? brings together 39 artists from the experimental electronica scene, paying tribute to or drawing inspiration from the oldest electronic media. Each piece is exactly 120 seconds, which creates a rather frantic pace; the listener soon loses track of whose contribution will play next and the music turns into a nearly uninterrupted continuum of juxtaposed sonic statements. The artists touch base…

2007 release ** Featuring: Teho Te.ardo, 3eem, Frammenti Trax, Nenia, N., Atrax Morgue, Cupio Dissolvi, Devis G..
Pinche Madre
2008 release ** Limited to 100 copies. "Pinche Madre is the 2008 creation from Remoteband, released by Russian label Abgurd in a limited edition CDR. To say any more, or try to give further information would be futile. Mainly because there is not much to find, even by scouring the internet there’s no webpage, MySpace or Facebook. Hard to believe in this technological age, but Remoteband has appeared to go off the grid by not even being there in the first place.So what do we have? Well we have…
