Isomopolis. ICC
Lovely and obscure album of Bertoia/Rutman-lineage metal sound-sculptures from which G. T. Smits coaxes a bizarre array of squawks & resonant thumps...."for a while i thought i was completely lost in the maze that is the recorded archive of George "TOET" Smits, a few years back i got boxes full of cassettes that i have been sitting thru for a few years, a bunch unlabeled, and a lot of recordings from his ZBOLK NIGHT RADIO. George Toet Smits started out playing mouth organ and guitar in Ferre…

Very rare Hermann Nitsch Picture LP album, qith the recordings of the 5th day (7th of august 1998) of this 6 day event. Limited to 400 numbered copies with letterpress insert, long out of print
Luminarium
Taking cues from pop, experimentalism, & minimalism TAPE has become recognized internationally for it's "luminarium of sound where past & present merge at the speed of light." Released on CD by Hapna in 2008, Immune is proud to release "Luminarium" on vinyl for the first time.
Fathom
Douglas Quin's Fathom brings together four extended underwater soundscapes-two each from the Arctic and Antarctic. The recordings have been gathered over a period of 15 years, capturing an extraordinary palette of sonic voices, events, spaces, and textures. To the human ear, these soundscapes are haunting and otherworldly; yet they are very much of this world-out of earreach. The tracks are minimally edited and are his first field recordings to be archived in vinyl. Included with the rele…
S/T
"2 psyched-out sides from the collaboration between mighty Aliens and Norways own answer to Hall & Oates - Bjerga/Iversen. These sides are boiled down from about 2+ hours worth of material recorded last summer in the stunning alpine village of Luserna San Giovanni, just outside of Torino, Italy.Space electronics, weightless freestyle strings, buzzing voices from the outer heliospheres and garbled and warped messages from the great beyond handed down on recycled trashcan tapes.... celestial harmo…
Axolotl lullabies
VERY LAST...It brings lights on the different activities of a great open-minded composer from Hamburg. All these tracks have been composed and recorded by Felix Kubin unless otherwise stated. They have appeared on rare or badly distributed releases. ThisLP brings back to live these amazing tracks. The power of this release is to build bridges in between compositions belonging to various so-called genres in electronic music in such a way you will be trapped in one of the most enjoyable and…
Love Life & Games
RESTOCKED: I wrote these tunes in 1968 when Micheal Cosmic and i were students at the AACM School of Music. i revised Love life & games in 2008. i had a band going on then with Micheal Cosmic. we played students concerts with Roscoe Mitchell. he also taught us our reeds. i had music theory with Anthony Braxton and Richard Muhal Abrams..."

Prayer for Chibi
Suishou no Fune originated in Tokyo's fertile psychedelic scene. After landing a spot on PSF's Tokyo Flashback 5 and releasing Where the Spirits Are in 2006, the group ventured out from Japan and took every opportunity to play across the United States and Europe. During one of these trips in the spring of 2007, the group-- down to the crucial duo of Pirako and Kurenai-- went into a recording studio for a few days and laid down these massive new tracks. Prayer for Chibi might be the ultimate Suis…
Early Works
Indispensable 180g vinyl pressing of eight super-important compositions by the "Father of Electronic Music" dating back to 1923! Most notably - for us at least - it includes the incredible percussion pieces 'Ionisation' and 'Integrales' played by the Julliard Percussion Ensemble which are worth the admission alone - but then you've also got the three tape pieces 'Interpolations I, II, III' from 'Déserts' circa 1950-54 which seals the deal: ESSENTIAL** "The French-born Edgar Varèse (1853-1…
Old Souls Wearing New Cloths
Restocked, last copies: limited edition of 323 copies, this LP is a live recording for piano, voice and electronics. Issued in a beautiful red vinyl pressing, it's a terrific minimal droning piano in La Mount Young vein
Charade Is Gold
on yellow vinyl! All string synths and spring reverb, this is an analog dream. Nothing less than some of the finest classically-orchestrated synthetic pop of the thirty odd years people have been attempting it.
Pacific Fog Dreams
Way out in the North West American wilderness, Evan Caminiti (Barn Owl) and Lisa McGee regroup for another exceptional, ethereal session as Higuma. 'Pacific Fog Dreams' is also their 2nd release for Root Strata, following their earliest collaborative release in '08 with 'Haze Valley', and 2010s 'Den Of The Spirits' LP for Digitalis, one of the finest of its ilk in recent years. Their sound is incredibly precious and achieves the rarest of tangible sensations with glooming, ghostly drones and bil…
Cremations
Absolutely mindblowing album of layered, distorted and decimated 80's synthpop meets MBV style sonic devastation - one of the albums of the year!* Occasionally artists crop up that manage to extract tangible yet ambiguous feelings of darkness while somehow pushing musical boundaries without pause for breath. Cold Cave is one of those artists. His 'Cremations' album for Dominic Fernow's Hosptial imprint is a collection of two EPs and one LP released over the last 18 months, traversing the …
Sonne = Blackbox
Germany's answer to Daphne Oram or Raymond Scott - or more likely an elaborate wind-up perpetrated by Jan Jelinek, on whose Faitiche label her "archive" recordings sporadically appear - Ursula Bogner is back. Whether or not it's Jelinek behind the Bogner corpus (and I think by now we know the answer to that), there's no disputing the consistently brittle beauty, dizzying complexity and easy charm of her radiophonic constructions. You certainly get a lot of Bogner for your buck on Sonne = …
Violence of discovery and calm of acceptance
Considered by the Chicago Reader to be "one of the most gifted and innovative guitarists of the decade", Rafael Toral has been developing in the last 15 years a unique sound world, having been as influenced by Alvin Lucier and Brian Eno as by Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine. Using the guitar as part of a complex electronic instrument, Toral has collaborated with Jim O'Rourke, John Zorn, Sonic Youth, Rhys Chatham and Phill Niblock and played in many European countries and in several states in…
Labor Of Love
We're not complaining. Seems like a week can't go by without some new Not Not Fun opus dribbling out from the west coast label, aimed at bleeding our brains of logical thought processes and launching us into galaxies where laws are read backwards and progress is measured in long, untethering tracks of psychedelia muttered through interstellar Ham radios. This week it comes by way of slow-boiled loops and synth warbling that build towards wordless rantings best quantified as the dark prayers mean…
Untitled (3rd Album)
VINYL FORMAT. Reissued! Rising from the silence, shaking the muck of level-Z rock and roll detritus from their feet, Royal Trux returned to action in October of 1992 with an untitled album, their third. It had been two years since they'd vanished into the negative zone with Twin Infinitives, an ultimate left-turn that appeared to have no endgame. For Untitled, Royal Trux strung together eight pieces of varying vintage that clearly communicated their rock and roll desires with the most direct app…
Frkwys Vol. 06
"Frkwys Vol. 6 features four pieces composed and performed by artists Julianna Barwick and Ikue Mori as part of a month long installation curated by RVNG Intl. at White Columns gallery, New York City, NY. For the installation, a particle board cubicle was custom constructed and placed at the center of the Project Space. The cubicle wall separated Julianna and Ikue to their respective seated work stations, while stationary web cams captured the musicians at work/play and became interactiv…
Not For Nobody
Not For Nobody is the third solo album from Chicago's Scott Tuma. Originally released on CD in 2008 by the Digitalis label, Immune is happy to present a first time vinyl edition of this essential work featuring new artwork by Chris Koelle. Not For Nobody was greeted with critical acclaim upon it's release in 2008 and was the much needed follow up to Tuma's solo albums Hard Again (2001, Truckstop) and The River 1 2 3 4 (2003, Truckstop). Since the release of Not For Nobody, Tuma has released t…
Intermezzo
I met Richard in 2004 on a crazy tour in Australia (Oren Ambarchi's last What is Music?). He was a founding member of The Sun City Girls but he came out to play solo. Instantly we were entranced by his playing, so many beautiful elements of why I love guitar come through in his music and presence, without floating around in genre space at all. Here on the road with Kevin Drumm, Dead C, Residents, Gang Gang Dance, Black Dice, etc amongst this insane lineup Richard ended up supporting Pan S…
