In addition to spending time during the j…

Dödsabnorm
*2022 stock* Only a year after the "Nihil Total" album Folkstorm returns stronger than ever with an album of suffocating and death-infused ortodox industrial. Recorded using only 70´s circuitry and lots of metallic percussion Nordvargr has created a dense atmosphere that is dark and threatening as well as hypnotic. A clear statement of what 2020, and possibly the future, will hold for us all; decay, darkness and suffering.

Tonal - Nagual
Joke Lanz and Christian Wolfarth are two of the most interesting and extreme Swiss improvisers. They combine ritual reductionism with anarchistic playfulness, atmospheric soundscapes with cut-up noise and physicalness with unpredictability. Physical and electro-acoustic experiments are the flesh and bone of Tell. They break the boundaries between Improv, Experimental and Noise.
Joke Lanz - turntables, electronics // Christian Wolfarth - percussion

Music Autopsies - Music Essays And Interviews (1999-2022) (Book)
‘…music can conduct autopsies on received historical narratives and current ideologies of power and exploitation; it can tell things as they were, as they are, and perhaps, as they could be.’ (Benjamin Dwyer)
In this book, the direction of readers’ attention is naturally drawn into music; but more often it is drawn outwards. This is the metaphoric idea of ‘autopsy’: music can not only conduct investigations into extra-musical thoughts of discipline, but also into political and socio-cultural are…

Lot 74 Solo Improvisations
Reissue of Derek Bailey's 2nd Incus LP from 1974, fully remastered to bring Derek Bailey's uniquely personal improvisation style clearly into the 21st century. "In 1974, when Derek Bailey was planning his second solo LP on Incus, he decided to include a side-long solo using his stereo electro-acoustic set-up. Unfortunately, he never seemed to have a 20-minute stretch of time free of interruptions in his home, so he asked if he could record it at my place. After a fairly lengthy drive across Lond…
