9 Solitaires
Dag Are Haugan is certainly for most people not the most common name. Being half of the legendary Norvegian outfit Alog made him one of the most original musicians of the last decade. At the start of our label we did carry his debut on Myke Droner stating it as “classic". A couple of years further we received this wonderfull demo. You can call it guitar-glitch if you want... The result comes close to a beatless Gas, a more guitar-driven Novisad, etc... Pressed on vinyl-only, with artwork from Ru…
Dem Ol' Apple Pie Melodies
Hard ripping and slightly insane improvisation from Brooklyn's Talibam! (Matt Mottel and Kevin Shea) with saxophonist Alan Wilkinson on a deluxe hand-numberd LP with inserts. Determined to continue collaborating with revolutionary blitzkrieg musicians in perpetuity, Brooklyn's Talibam! (Matt Mottel and Kevin Shea) were set up on a blind date with Alan Wilkinson by Bo' Weavil Recordings for a London basement show in May 2008. Like a late '60's Sadean love-in ripe with Joycean epiphanies, T…
Von Zeit Zu Zeit
In few years of work Fabio Orsi has achieved critique and fans, imposing his name as one of the most important and representative of the whole international experimental and electronic independent scene. Backwards proudly presents his new work titled Von Zeit Zu Zeit. This composition was recorded live in Berlin (2010) and after edited and mastered by Fabio Orsi in late 2011. Orsi plays synth, guitar and filters and, for once, he just puts aside the warmth of the melodies and the sampli…
Crow Autumn
Richard Skelton’s work as A Broken Consort is, ostensibly, consistently and easily contextualized within a broader composer-centric scene. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, for example, deal in similar realms of psychogeographics with their soundtrack work on The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and the like. There, the compositions render emotions on the physical plane. Landscapes and troubled faces don’t just feel alienated or manic or soul-crushingly vast. They look it.…
Trowel And Era
With a treasure trove of analogue, swirling effects, arch songcraft and a sweet yet assured vocal delivery, Trowel & Era brings to the table the epic debut long player by the one man band Apothecary Hymns (AKA Alex Stimmel). Stimmel has made a collection with one foot in kaleidoscopic coastal loner psych that floats on a musical bed of whimsical levity and another foot rooted firmly in the grand ethos of east village troubadours of the mid 60s." Alex Stimmel: acoustic & electric guitars 6 & 12 …
The creator is far out
Phil Musra, Micheal Cosmic, Hüseyin Ertunç; Intex/Cosmic labels... these are LEGENDARY names from the US underground jazz music scene of the 70's... They released one LP under each name and if you got one of those rare gems, you'd easily feel LUCKY! Musra album came out back in 1974, more then 35 years ago... so we're really pleased here at Sagittarius A-Star to be able to present the come back of such an underrated musician, who got style, a unique one for sure! His compositions are reall…

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…
The Outside Room
RESTOCK: Natalie Weyes Blood (originally Weyes Bluhd) has existed in the grime-ghost fringe-music catacombs since at least 2006, though originally it was in more of a crouched/hieroglyphic FX pedals style, culminating in a European tour with Axolotl. After two seasons of hibernation and a relocation to Baltimore, she materialized her 'Blood In Bluhd Out' transformation and began writing/playing the darkly haunted narcotic drifter ballads that make up The Outside Room, her first official f…
Plaster Projection Instruction Record
EXCLUSIVE! Guitar+tape manipulations create a hypnotic noise pastiche akin to the background buzz in the switching station of your local phone company. 1-sided. Limited 500.
Ni maître, Ni marteau
A key ingredient in disappearing ink, THYMOLPHTHALEIN describes the working method of this brilliant French-Australian quintet Leader Anthony Pateras conceived a detailed hour long structural premise for the group’s first tour in 2009, creating a masterful pastiche of richly dynamic, timbrally devastating explorations for electro-acoustic ensemble, melded by his own distinctive prepared piano and analogue electronics.Natasha Anderson combines buzzing slabs of electro-acoustic sound with fr…
Trulofa
New European folk/trance orkustra from Denmark with their debut release on Qbico. Various acoustic instruments cohere in hymns to the roar of the cosmos that are as dippily fried as the first Siloah LP and as aggressively invasive as Pelt at their most planet-levitating. Their name comes from Shirley Collins's tracing of the idea of the true love knot to the Danish word Trulofa.
Remote Aktion
Two years after releasing SRS' 'Heaven 39' 2LP, Diophantine Discs is happy to release a record of new recordings by Sshe Retina Stimulants! Following in a vein similar to his other recent recordings this year, we are presented with four tracks of very abstract and experimental noise music. Using a variety of treated and processed instruments and electronics, this is surely one of the most complex, intense, and dynamic works by SRS. Sshe Retina Stimulants, the project of P.NG5361.B (Paolo Bandera…
The Young Cricketer
The Young Cricketer is Chris Corsano's debut of Frankenstein-gamelan skin detail. It's a monster and a babe all wrapped under the guise of The Solo Drum Album. Corsano's flea-market kit of cast-iron pot lids, super-bouncy-balls on sticks, butter knives, and even a sax mouth-piece jammed-in-a-hose conjures a part rhythmic maelstrom, like a Milford Graves drip painting, and the sweet metallic ice drones of Tony Conrad and Keiji Haino rubbing sticks together until end days. Globally known for a doz…
Double sextet (1975)
Recorded in ann arbor in 1975, this long lost destroy all monsters gem features the group as a sextet (mike kelley, jim shaw, cary loren, jeff fields, kalle nemvalts, and john reed). missing are the lovely lyrics and goth scrawl of niagara but in her place we see the collective brainstorm through 30 minutes of an underground music/non-music and b-culture genealogy that is unmistakably destroy all monsters. a melted mind, reconstructed with duct-tape, bent circuits, saxophone drips, and fuzz that…
Gussie
On a hot Minneapolis night in the summer of 2001, the legendary avant/jazz group Curlew played a scorching gig at the now-defunct Gus Lucky's Gallery. Gussie documents that evening: the veteran improvising group dispensed with their compositions altogether and took an eminently successful walk along the free-improv tightrope. The ever-evolving lineup featured George Cartwright (saxophones), Davey Williams (guitar), Chris Parker (piano), Fred Chalenor (bass), and Bruce Golden (percussion). A limi…
Beatings With Gimpy Flighted Wings Entrapped By Post-Fence Of Ga
EXCLUSIVE! Member of CAROLINER RAINBOW & DEERHOOF. Some may call these tunes brashly harsh, some might call it electronic composition, others may think it to be the sounds of rusty robots mating. Oh no, this is none of those, this is hardcore done with wires, lo-tech tape manipulation, bits of synth, home rigged effects, and a whole bunch of other crap.
Boris at Last:Feedbacker
Boris's meteoric rise to superstardom doesn't seem to be stopping any time soon, only today I heard that the band had signed their last album (the absolutely stunning 'Rainbow' from a few weeks back) to US mega-label Drag City - what next eh, how long before EMI and Atlantic start getting interested? How about Sunn O))) on Geffen then? It could happen. Still we're back on our ongoing mission to seek out every Boris record we can, and this 2003 release is one of those absolute gems that keep step…
Mirage Of The Other
the new record is a full lp (+/-40min) from marcia bassett's solo project zaïmph. marcia is well known for her leading role in freefolk/improv groupssuch as double leopards and ghq, as well as for her groundbreakingwork with free guitar/flesh metal duo hototogisu. with her soloproject zaïmph she starts off from the base these groups laid outand takes things to another level, shredding boundaries betweendark noise, drone and psych music. it's deeply meditative yet darklydisturbing and emotionally…

This is his 1st LP after nearly 35 years and here he plays guitar, alpine zither, electronics, field recordings... as usual he presents us an eclectic mix of fascinating sounds.
