New Directions In Sound
Reproducing a pair of late 60s collections (CRS 1201, CRS 1202) compiled by Creel Pone alumni David Cope (see "K, Weeds," CP #153) & issued privately on Cope & John Tanno's Composers' Autograph Publications (which, incidentally, moved from Redondo Beach to Shaker Heights between the issue of the first & second volumes when Cope took a position at Cleveland Institute of Music) & Capra (ditto, Redondo Beach & Montclair) this double-disc set offers a window into an otherwise undocumented scene of A…

Reproducing a trio of mid-late 80s LP titles on the Amadeo label; "30 Jahre Elektroakustik," "Tonband Und...," & "Tape Music," this double-disc set offers an incredibly wide breadth of work either by composers of Austrian origin - or by those closely aligned with the Austrian Electro-Acoustic community - over a 30-year timeframe. The first set includes early work by Roman Haubenstock-Ramati (whose "L'Amen De Verre," composed at the GRM in 1957, opens the set), Max Brand (a 1962 piece, "Die Astro…

Electric Ascension+Cleaning The Mirror
"In Rova's translation of Ascension into contemporary practice, Coltrane's Ascension remains as a great gift for the energy it presents, for the sheer unfailing intensity with which it fights toward its collective freedom. The original is a major work of art, not merely an episode but a larger process. Rova's substantial achievement consists in assuming the responsibility of Coltrane's great original, treating it not simply as a memento of liberation but as a tool for it as well."(Stuart Broomer…
Oz Waves
Efficient Space continue to expose Australia's esoteric musical history with Oz Waves - a collection of '80s DIY recordings, compiled by odd wave anthropologist Steele Bonus. Definitive proof that inhabitants of the Down Underground were links in a global network of creative kooks, Oz Waves connects those who utilized mobile recording rigs and small press releases to create and disseminate misfit synth-punk, tape loop experiments, and inner city pop. Through overseas mail order exchanges, ano…
Musique Action Internationale 85
A nice adjunct to the trio of M.I.M.I. Festival LP documents that I recently shared, the particular shindig that this compendium commemorates corralled together a curious and disparate cast of characters from the worlds of R.I.O. and improv, and if the resulting artifact is sometimes scattershot, it's never less than amiably so. From my vantage point, the clear standouts here are David Thomas And The Pedestrians' ramshackle reading of Whale Head King, whose personnel goes unlisted here (u…

Doubleplusungood
Director's note : "My encounter with Wild Dee, the main actor in Doubleplusungood, was a determining factor in the making of this film. Not only are we strongly influenced by the same literary atmospheres - Among them American authors like Harry Crews, Iceberg Slim, N.Tosches and Belgian horror author Jean Ray - we also share the same cinematic tastes - low budget cinema be it French, Japanese or Spanish. Our main aim was to recreate the spirit, and play with and even subvert, the codes of…
BBC Radiophonic Workshop - 21
In 1958 the BBC Radiophonic Workshop opened with the aim to enhance the main drama output on the Third Programme (now Radio 3) following the development of new electronic music techniques emanating from Europe. Their work expanded across the BBC to take in TV drama (especially sci-fi), schools programmes and themes. The latter being their most celebrated and well known work: Delia Derbyshire’s treatment of Ron Grainer’s theme for Doctor Who.
This collection was originally released on vinyl …

Cosmic Machine The Sequel [SPLATTERED]
Deluxe edition on colored vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve. Includes CD. This sequel to the acclaimed Cosmic Machine compilation released in 2013 is another fantastic journey through time and space. At the time musicians were trying to capture the sounds of meteorites entering the terrestrial atmosphere thanks to machines developed by NASA engineers, a new generation of analog synthesizers enabled electronic music composers to take over the charts. It seemed the machines were definitely made to…

A searing assemblage of Islamic Sufi spiritual music from the hinterlands of Sindh and Punjab, this compilation marks Sublime Frequencies' debut release of field recordings from Pakistan. Recorded and compiled by Arshia Fatima Haq, founder of Discostan - a collective of artists from an imagined federation of states from Beirut to Bangkok via Bombay - this is a rare, unfiltered collection of devotional music ranging from hypnotic solo instrumentals and vocal lamentations to euphoric ensemble qaww…
Where the Mountains Meet the Sky: Folk Music of Ladakh
Music from Ladakh recorded during the making of the film The Song Collector (2014) by director Erik Koto, with additional material recorded by Bill Kite in 1992. "Situated high in the Western Himalaya, Ladakh is one of the great cultural crossroads of Asia. For centuries, it sat at the hub of ancient trade routes that connected the Silk Road to India, Tibet, and Kashmir. Each year, once the winter snows had melted from the high passes surrounding Ladakh, its markets would buzz with merchants fro…
Sammlung: Elektronische Kassettenmusik, Dusseldorf 1982-1989
LP version. Post-war apartments dominated the views of Düsseldorf in the early 1980s - cement slabs, the "art bunker" known as the Kunsthalle, and the elevated railway called "The Millipede". Yet reconstruction was in full swing - bank buildings on the "Kö" received postmodern interiors, the old town became stylishly retro-rustic, and advertising agencies displaced industrial companies. Music took all of this on. Punk was finished, but its pathos drifted through pubs and shared flats. At the sam…
Magnetband: Experimenteller Elektronik-Underground DDR 1984-1989
LP version. Inspired by punk and post punk, vibrant scenes dedicated to independent self-actualization by means of self-distributed cassettes - the cheapest and fastest medium - were developing on each side of the Cold War's confrontational line. Albeit, under quite different circumstances. While there was a DIY euphoria in the West, which would also have had ideological motives, subcultures in the East simply had no other means. Even the first act of replication meant moving into illegal territ…
Highlights of Vortex
The brainchild of visual artist Jordan Belson and electronics polymath Henry Jacobs, the Vortex Experiments ran from 1957 to 1960, first at San Francisco’s Morrison Planetarium and later at the SF Museum of Art. The very name of these events announced their aim: a swirling totality of sensory experience. Around Belson’s richly-colored visuals – making use of the planetarium’s entire dome and featuring luminous, sharply geometric imagery projected through an array of devices – Jacobs ringed a sy…

Interdimensional Folklore Vol. I
All the artists taking part in this collection come from the italian land and entered the label network thanks to the mind-altering Communion happenings in the freed spaces of Macao, Milan. In this happenings lot of ideas where shown and some new others came to life, both in musical production and life organization processes.
