Merci Yaya Bongo - Les Groupes d’Animation Féminins du Gabon 1982 - 1989
Gabon, 1980’s. President Omar Bongo has been in power since 1967. Together with his wife, the infamous singer Patience Dabany, he invents one of the ultimate political propaganda machine: ‘animation groups’, massive female choirs and dancers, up to 60 women deep, singing the praise of his regime over some of the best soukous rhythms ever, broadcasted live on TV.
Between 1982 and 1989, mainly thanks to the flourishing oil economy, a record-label is created, a state-of-the-art recording studio is …
Unreleased Tapes 1981-1984
Experimentation in early electronic music in the Sahara from the singular Mamman Sani. Dreamy organs and droning melodies reinterpret ancient folk tradition into sublime fantastical soundscape. Never before released recordings from the very beginning - unreleased tracks from his first album, recordings of a short lived trio, and a cover of an American folk ballad.
Mammane Sani Abdullaye is a legendary name in Niger's avant garde. A pioneer of early West African electronic music, for over 30 yea…

Third
We’ve been great fans of ‘The Duchess of Oysterville’, the first outing from the duo of Chris Forsyth & Nate Wooley on cd some years ago on Creative Sources (with a follow-up later on Chocolate Monk), and had been looking for an opportunity to work with them if possible. Their duo is one of those cases that reveal different and unexpected qualities from the participants, and points to a third mind of shorts at play, a meeting that seems to open up the two towards an underexplored territory. With…

Big Tip! With a wide range of work by sound artists and musicians, writers, filmmakers, photographers, and visual artists, (c)ovid's Metamorphoses uses the Covid-19 pandemic and its far-reaching consequences as an instrument for change, artistic and otherwise. A play on experiment across various fields of artistic practice, all featured work revolves around ideas of transmission and inspiration, conjuring up a massive body of vital and daring artistic expressions unashamedly avant-garde. (c)ovid…

El Khela Al'Akhdar
Tip! Twenty years after its initial release, Amon's "El Khela" still shines out like a pillar in the dark ambient field. Mysterious, catacombal, bleak, monumental, cryptic ambience. This new edition contains a remastered, repackaged and graphically renewed version of the original album + a second CD with rare, unreleased and reworked tracks. Coproduced by Eibon Records and Silentes, "El Khela Al'Akhdar" comes in digisleeve + 2 inner sleeves."This album from Amon (Andrea Marutti) is a particular …

Anthony Braxton. Creative Music (Book)
*Only in German language* Der in der South Side Chicagos aufgewachsene Anthony Braxton (*1945) gehört seit über einen halben Jahrhundert zu den innovativsten, produktivsten und prägendsten Protagonisten der creative music. Unangepasst und kompromisslos seinen Visionen und Überzeugungen folgend, hat er sich in die Annalen der neueren Musikgeschichte mit unverwechselbarer Handschrift eingeschrieben: als bahnbrechender Komponist, mitreißender Performer, aufsehenerregender Improvisationsmusiker, übe…
Taxista!
Pau Riba is one of the essential figures of Catalan music and counterculture, with a completely unique career that started in the late 1960s and still active today. This facsimile reissue of his debut 7” ‘Taxista!’ is the appropriate starting point. Released in 1967, these three wonderful, Dylan-influenced songs revealed a extraordinarily gifted artist.
Inhuman Comedy
Gerritt Wittmer and Ryan Jencks are Deathroes. The project began around 2005, its origin story steeped in black metal tapes, booze, noise and so on. as a performative unit, Deathroes ‘doubled forces,' combining Wittmer's and Jenck's shared fondness for fog-machine saturation and high powered strobe onslaughts with a full-spectrum transmission of aggressive, confrontational, immersive noise. In manifesting chaos and raw power through light and sound, Deathroes intend to provoke a collapse of the …
Manifesto Rumoratorio
Hailing from Sicily is the duo of Pietro La Rocca & Patrycja Stefanek. We last heard from Pietro via the OPER'azinoe Nafta lp, Cavuru from a decade ago. But this is in stark contrast to that. Utilizing delays, toys, voice, guitars, tapes & objects, TR conjures up a rabble as singular as Cromagnon, ONO, or any other of the One Percenters you wanna rat out. I released this lp knowing it would speak to practically no one at the time, but it is a grower, I promise you that. IT HAD TO EXIST. Fans of …
So You Are... So You'll Be
So You Are...So You’ll Be is White Hills’ seventh studio album and was recorded with Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Brian Eno, Swans) at BC Studios where White Hills also recorded 2012’s Frying On This Rock. Long after man has ceased to exist; long after the mountains have fallen into the sea; long after the oceans have boiled dry; long after the sun has burst and evaporated planet Earth - humankind’s mark on the universe will still be felt. There will be a circular ripple of radio waves created duri…
Smash
Ixthuluh was a pure jam band that never played firmly rehearsed tracks or even foreign cover songs. The band chose not to practise some songs in a rehearsal room to perfect them, rather that everything played live was unique and unrepeatable. Ixthuluh was an Austrian Psychedelic Rock and Krautrock band active from 1975-1981 and never did a official release. “Smash” is their very first official output – 39 years after breaking up.
Proserpine
Circular patterns morphing through time, loop and ritual form the fabric of Proserpine, the latest work by Leeds-based musician, Teresa Winter. Recorded from a summer to a winter through 2021 and 2022, Proserpine is Winter’s most cohesive, focused music to date: confidently revelling in space, fixating on isolated sounds and giving way to satisfying, swirling waves of vocal and electronic buzz. Proserpine is Teresa Winter’s debut recording for Glasgow-based label, Night School. On Proserpine, mu…
Figures without ground
200 copies Figures Without Ground is the third in a series of three releases, across three labels and three formats, representing a total of six compositions. The first two releases in this series were Music for Cinema (cassette, YDLMIER), and Mild Disappearances (CD-R, Songs From Under the Floorboards, a sub-label of Intransitive Recordings). The two sides of Figures Without Ground represent a major transition from one mode of composition to another.
The cover of the album is a porcelain piece…
Fat Albert Rotunda
Fat Albert Rotunda is the venture into jazz-funk by keyboardist Herbie Hancock. The record is centered around the music Hancock wrote the Fat Albert cartoon show. It's one of the records which appeared in the period between his landmark album Maiden Voyage of 1965 and his 1973 classic Head Hunters. Fat Albert Rotunda is a unique item in Herbie Hancock's long and diverse catalog, with funky tracks like "Fat Mama" and modern jazz-oriented tunes like "Tell Me A Bedtime Story". The sextet which is …
Option Explore
Option Explore, Dylan Moon’s second full-length album, is a glassy-eyed survey of pop’s playing field both past and present, and a collection of clever, colorful songs filtered through frequencies, timbres, and dreams discovered and discarded while its maker shifts from one sub-genre to the next.
Option Explore signals a significant departure from Moon’s debut 2019 album Only the Blues, which at its heart is a folk record from the forlorn fringes of psychedelia: a little mysterious, but ultimate…
Soaring Wayne Phoenix Story The Earth And Sky
Soaring Wayne Phoenix Story The Earth And Sky is the debut album from multi-disciplinary British artist Wayne Phoenix. Originally conceived over a decade ago as one part of an elaborate project encompassing music, film, and performance, story the earth and sky is not only a profoundly personal and vulnerable expression unbound by Phoenix’s exploration of creative potential and mystery, but a bridge beyond the artificial boundaries that separates us from an unfiltered voice found within all. The …
Advanced Myth
Advanced Myth is the lucid debut album from Dialect, the now long standing project of British composer and musician Andrew PM Hunt. An enchanted exploration of unusual source synthesis, electro-acoustic arrangements, and found sound, Advanced Myth is its own cosmos expanding in real time. Newly mastered from definitive mixes by Stephan Mathieu, and available for the first time on vinyl.
In the absence of conventional structure, it’s shifts in spirit that provide Advanced Myth’s emotive signposti…
