Wie Zeit Vergeht
Mindblowing assembly of experimental and utterly visceral analogue experiments from former member of DAF, Frieder Butzmann - DO NOT MISS* Frieder Butzmann is a veteran of the Berlin underground, a former member of DAF, and Din A Testbild alongside Gudrun Gut, and collaborator with Genesis P. Orridge, Thomas Kapielski and Wolfgang Müller. 'Wie Zeit Vergeht' is his contribution to Pan's increasingly essential canon of experimental material, following incredible releases by Keith Fullerton W…

Raiders
Robedoor have acquired a "drummer/modular synth dealer" since last we heard from them, and with this new LP - their first since last year's Endlessly Blazing - they let fly with their newly enhanced line-up, stirring up smudged-out psych nightmares that sound like they're being performed from somewhere deep within a cave system. In fact, if the blind flesh-eating monsters from The Descent had a house band, 'Indo Shadow' might be the outcome. The album's second half is especially good, with the f…
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…
Homage to the Square Wave
RESTOCKED last copies, Eleh present their fourth vinyl-only full-length, Homage to the Square Wave. Featuring two sidelong tracks each clocking-in at over 20 minutes, Homage is dedicated to the highly influential artist Josef Albers. Eleh return with their battery of vintage modular analog gear to produce a recording of pure tone, pure sound, pure volume and pure analog. Side A features 'Black,' a slowly enveloping mass of intensely throbbing low end, activating the flight response. Time passes …
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.
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.
Who Will Feed Them
Black vinyl with insert. Performed by: Mark Bajuk, Tony Fasce, Silvia Feriozzi, Eric Mauer, Brent Peich, Russ Waterhouse. The next evolutionary step from Double Leopards and Family Underground, very subtle and psychedelic music.
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…
Last Days III - Atlantic City
Following volume I (8mm, 2008) and II (Presto?!. 2009), and previously released in a super small cassette edition on Tulip, Stefano Pilia's Last Days III is finally available in a new remastered one sided LP edition. The intuitions of the first two chapters of this series of 'Last days' shine in 'Atlantic City' in all their beauty. Stefano’s touch is so warm and gentle, always unique in creating that feeling of soft, warm nostalgia, loud, and passionate as he’s strumming his strings with …

Undercurrent
California Gothic set to the tidal rhythms of the Pacific and tuned into the metabolic pathways of the northwest coast. Porras (Barn Owl) has scripted a love poem to the mist, a prayer cast in ghostly reflected guitar and deep pools of distortion. The ominous opening of 'Gray Dunes' is a dense and impenetrable murk, a fear that eventually succumbs to distortion but then gives way to a endless open space of delay in its second half. Its trajectory is symbolic of the record as a whole, with many o…
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 …
Beach Head
Originally issued in a limited pressing in 2008, BEACH HEAD is a release of sunburnt affection for a place that has since submerged: a coastal constellation of friends and energies that still slosh and burn through dimensions just above our perceptual apparatus. These are the coordinates, should you want to go: THOUGHTS ARE BELLS opens in séance before easing back into full Florian blossom. HORSE STEPPIN’ is a love song to Neil Young’s six-string gateway: sunblushed and indulgent, persistently b…
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…
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…
Strange Strings
Back in stock! 1966's Strange Strings is the zenith of Sun Ra's analysis of string instruments and, as its title suggests, the album documents Ra's exploration of their outer limits, charting a kind of vivisection of the timbral make up of the traditional string section. The introductory piece 'Worlds Approaching' sets jolting cellos alongside plodding timpanis and some wild brass and woodwinds which out-weird anything on the string front, but by the time we get to the more overtly exploratory t…
The voice rolling
Mind Over Mirrors might not be a familiar name to most, but the brain behind the project, Jaime Fennelly, has been involved in numerous acclaimed and respected projects over the last few years. Primarily known for his work as an integral member of Peeesseye, he's also involved with Acid Birds, Manpack Variant and Phantom Limb & Bison. The Voice Rolling is his first solo record in five years and the first under this new moniker.First and foremost, this is a harmonium record and that's important t…
