L'Empire Des Sons
An elusive cult gem resurfaces through Glossy Mistakes. Originally released in 1986, L'Empire Des Sons is an otherworldly blend of synth pop, folk experimentation, and cinematic percussive layers-dreamlike, poetic, and wildly ahead of its time. L'Empire Des Sons was a fleeting yet powerful transmission from the fringes of the French underground-an album that blurred genre lines and evaded easy classification. Fusing experimental folk, lo-fi synth pop, and avant-garde textures, the record exists …
Che mi Guardi Attraverso Una Fiamma
Tip! A dream within a dream - Innocent and whimsical song-craft from a vibrant pocket of the contemporary Italian underground via Naples-born Lucia Sole aka La Festa Delle Rane. New split release between ANF and Tokyo friends Conatala.
It’s impossible not to be totally captivated by this. Lucia’s explorative, imperfect song-writing leans into a sense of cranky, domesticated nostalgia and soft melancholy - songs (you can just about call them that) are just about held together by a loose thread …
Luxor Necropolitics
"The world is already fallen and the temples are all new again."
Jordanian Descent
A cult was built around these this truly ominous original tape with slowed down mega-apocalyptic drone drum contemplations. Despite being created over a decade ago for limited double cassette and then compiled on ‘it stands to conceal’ this is long form esoteric cold industrial perfectly suitable for our accelerating global amnesia. Fully remastered version.
Atta's Apartment Slated For Demolition
Atta’s Apartment Slated for Demolition finds Dominick Fernow’s Vatican Shadow project at a crossroads. Originally released in 2012, the album still has the blank-eyed, cold, hypnotic minimalism of his earliest albums that made Vatican Shadow one of the most unlikely breakout artists of the noise underground in the early 2010s. It’s got the cryptic yet provocative title, in this case alluding to Mohamed Atta, the ringleader behind the 9/11 hijackings. It’s got the paranoid forever-war album art a…
Ghosts Of Chechnya
What the artist may consider the most formative years for the project and what clubbers may have heard in numerous live sets with the ‘encryption nets’ classic dub track. Despite being created over a decade ago for limited double cassette and then compiled on ‘it stands to conceal’ this is widescreen esoteric cold industrial perfectly suitable for our collapsing world. Fully remastered version and the first time on stand alone LP!
Carreira's Cross
*100 copies limited edition* Carreira's Cross emerges from three intense days of immersive creation and spontaneous interplay between the Portuguese duo Worksite & Workshop — Zé Quintino and Tiago Maduro — recorded on the 7th, 8th, and 9th of July, 2021. In those sessions, the two artists wove together a sonic tapestry where shifting electronic textures met finely detailed field recordings and subtly hypnotic rhythmic patterns. The result is a work that feels at once exploratory and deeply cohes…
Holosphere
*100 copies limited edition* “Holosphere” is a space within a space, an extra-reality. This condition exists beyond time. Its effect on the body and mind can trigger a shift in consciousness and alter the perception of reality. All tracks were previously released by Unexplained Sounds Group and Eighth Tower Records between 2023 and 2025, except for “Add Lakes,” which is previously unreleased.
A Touch Of Despair
*200 copies limited edition* The project "The Tapes" by Giancarlo Drago developed over a span of 10 years, between 1982 and 1992, before being revived in 2016 in Genoa, Italy. In 1982, Drago was 16 years old and recorded his first tape using toy instruments and creating loops with cassettes, influenced by industrial and new wave music. During that time, a friend gave him a self-built analogue echo unit that produced an incredible background noise, which would become a hallmark of many compositio…
The Ancients
Bomb! The debut recording by The Ancients, the intergenerational coalition of Isaiah Collier, William Hooker and William Parker formed by Parker to play concerts in conjunction with the Milford Graves' “A Mind-Body Deal” exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and now a working group. Across 2LPs of side-length long-form improvised sets recorded at 2220 Arts & Archives in LA and The Chapel in San Francisco, The Ancients bring the free jazz trio languages first explored by t…
415 Steppsss to DingggDonggg Paradise
Huuuuge Tip! CD Edition. Where the bells begin, everything else follows. Long before Charlemagne Palestine discovered the thick molasses sonority of the Bösendorfer piano, before the strumming technique that would define his maximalist-minimalist vision, there were bells. Colossal carillon bells in the tower of St. Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue in New York, where a teenage Palestine hammered hymns into the Manhattan sky before spending hours lost in spectral improvisations that drew Moondog, Ton…
Saul Williams meets Carlos Niño & Friends at TreePeople
Land Back! An unadulterated opening statement intoned by Saul Williams three times, as he joins Carlos Niño & Friends in sound ceremony underneath oak and black walnut trees in Coldwater Canyon Park, Los Angeles, on December 18, 2024. The performance, which was organized by Noah Klein of Living Earth on the grounds of longstanding conservationist organization TreePeople, was the first of its kind for longtime friends and collaborators Williams and Niño. The two have been in contact since 1997 an…
Live At Teater Tribunalen
Huge Tip! ** Edition of 300.** The long overdue first proper jazz album on Discreet Music! After years of releasing experimental electronics, drone, and avant-garde sound art, the Swedish label finally documents what's been happening in their own backyard: ferocious, life-elevating free jazz performed by three of Sweden's leading improvisers. Niklas Persson Trio - saxophonist Niklas Persson, double bassist Patric Thorman, and drummer Raymond Strid - started ten years ago on Thorman's initiative.…
Assassins
At the beginning of the 80s, guitarist Jean-Francois Pauvros and trumpeter Jac Berrocal invented the trio Catalogue, responsible for a rather provocative crazy rock with its saturated voices and decadent lyrics... We remember "Khomeini Twist" from the 1982 album "Penetration". After Jean-Pierre Arnoux's brief appearance, Gilbert Artman sat behind the drums for three explosive vinyls which were to mark their era to the point of still resonating today. Sound recordist Jean-Marc Foussat, a long-tim…
L'Ile des Trésors
Jean-Jacques Duerinckx: baritone and sopranino saxophonesJean-Marc Foussat: AKS synth, piano, toys and voiceRecorded live at Haekem Theatre. Brussels, the 16th of May 2023 by Jean-Marc Foussat
Gift
Recorded on December 1, 2009 at the Instants Chavirés in Montreuil. Marteau Rouge, legendary band composed of Jean-Marc Foussat (VCS3 synthesizer, toy voices), Jean François Pauvros (guitars, voices) and Makoto Sato (percussions). And the tenor saxophonist and soprano Evan Parker with whom Marteau Rouge had already recorded a CD, “ LIVE”, the year before, released by In Situ in 2009.Hammer Rouge is a trio focused in the tellurical, electric noise with Pauvros’s saturated and electrocuted guitar …
Complete Works
300 copies, deluxe box set. Australian experimental industrial and ambient music band from the early 1980s Laughing Hands complete discography with several bonus. Laughing Hands worked in the experimental music scene in Melbourne in the very early 1980s. They were an improvisation group using tapes, synthesizers, guitar and hand percussion much of which was then treated through machines, producing their soft, insistent and rhythmic sound. The members of seminal Melbourne-based improvising exper…
Nemico Immaginario
Nemico Immaginario is the sound of Fanciullino taking the idea of a band back to its most fragile, volatile core: two people in a room, a guitar, a drum kit, nothing to hide behind. Born from the encounter between Andrea Del Bravo and Davide Cappai, the duo treats this minimal setup not as a limitation but as an ethical position - if something happens, it must pass through bodies, sticks, strings, skin. Every hit and chord is traceable to a gesture, to the microsecond in which one player chooses…
Per Samie
Per Samie captures Matias Guerra, Valerio Leg, and Falco Baldaya in a single, fragile orbit around a plant wired as a silent listener, an improvisation where every sound feels like an offering and every pause like shared breath.
Day Hospital
Day Hospital began not in a studio, but between a hospital bed and whatever lies just beyond it - that blurred zone where time dilates, bodies stall, and thought starts looping on itself. Out of that suspended space, Copycat Department shapes a sound project that treats techno and experimental music as twin methods for charting vulnerability and resistance. The album’s tracks feel written in the margins of medical charts: pulses like monitors, hissing textures like ventilation systems, bass that…
