Torch songs
Torch Songs is a collaboration between Jonathan Coleclough and Andrew Liles. They met in October 2004 when they both performed at Intergration 3 in Preston, UK. Liles subsequently reworked the recording of Coleclough's solo performance from that evening. He went on to add, subtract, multiply and divide further live recordings supplied by Coleclough, and the eventual result was this double LP. Torch Songs is packaged in a gatefold sleeve featuring 'I Dreamt I Was a River,' a poem composed and pai…

Uzi
** 2022 repress, with poster ** Muslimgauze's gem from the late 80s. Cinematic, minimal, noisy, hypnotic, and gloomy. Probably not so overtly Middle Eastern as his later works, though definitely bearing an influence. Backed by electric drones percussion forms a living, breathing atmosphere of impending menace. For a strange reason, this album was missed in VOD's Chasing The Shadow Of Bryn Jones 10xLP Box-set. Now you have a chance to complete your Muslimgauze discography! All Tracks Written and …
Copia
People Like Us returns with "Copia", Vicki Bennett’s first new album since 2018. Exploring the abundance of collage and sampling, it reflects on timeless connectivity and the fluidity of past, present, and future. "Copia" reshapes sound into a rich, playful, and thought-provoking sonic tapestry.
Je Ne Connais Pas Cet Homme
Following their groundbreaking collaboration with the Art Ensemble of Chicago, Comme à la Radio, Areski and Brigitte Fontaine began recording almost exclusively together as a duo. Originally released in 1973, Je Ne Connais Pas Cet Homme is their first record billed under both names. Deeply rooted in North African and European folk traditions, the album features evocative vignettes with breezy vocals and minimal accompaniment of classical guitar, strings, and woodwinds. As always, there is a m…
Home of the Demo
Anthony Moore's post-Slapp Happy output, for years an underrated-to-outright unknown quantity, achieves another dimensional plane with this third archival release from his personal tape library. Home of the Demo triangulates upon the art-pop qualities found in his previously unreleased OUT (1976, officially issued 2020) and the new wave-adjacent Flying Doesn't Help (1979, reissued 2022), finding Anthony's early/mid-'80s compositions drifting into the actual mainstream, just moments before it beg…
Werther
1970’s best-kept Bossa Nova secret. Surrounded by mystery for nearly 50 years due to its obscurity, this is one of the most honest, personal and unpretentious albums of its genre. A selection of 12 exquisitely crafted songs supported by measured, subtle arrangements. The list of musicians born or raised in the Tijuca district of Rio de Janeiro is long and illustrious and includes names that have shaped Brazilian music: Tom Jobim, Roberto Carlos, Tim Maia, Milton Nascimento, Jorge Ben or Erasmo C…
Battutosso / Bone Pulse (And Other Nature Musics)
Philip Corner's Battutosso / Bone Pulse (And Other Nature Musics) features recordings from 1989-97 of the US composer experimenting with bones, "the 100 most beautiful cows' bells", "breath, flute, and rubbing rock", and "Geoff Hendricks' xylophone sculpture". Compelling stuff, as always with Corner's work. Mastered by Silvia Kastel (Control Unit etc) and released on the Italy-based Ricerca Sonora imprint in an edition of 300 copies

Zeuhl Jazz
**250 copies, 2020 stock** Sonata Islands is a cultural association, born from an idea of Emilio Galante, that promotes and performs new music and jazz. They organized many concerts and festivals in Italy. After Sonata Islands goes RIO (dedicated to the music of Univers Zero, Fred Frith and Thinking Plague) and Nippon Eldorado Kabarett (with the same musicians, dedicated to Japanese RIO music of the '80s with pieces by After Dinner, Wha Ha Ha, Kiyohiko Semba and Haniwa All Stars), here they pay …
Avec Des Coussins Bleus
*300 copies limited edition* "After Klanggalerie coaxed a sleeping dog out of the hut with "Extra Weapons / Double Dog Dare, Summer '84" by The Lo Yo Yo, ADN throws me the next sweet bone with the re-release of Look de Bouk's avec des coussins bleus (AD9 012, LP). Look De Bouk were even split partners with Alig Pearce, Mick Hobbs, Joey Stack & Caroline Brooks on AYAA's "Double Dog Dare" cassette and were also linked together again on the "Bad Alchemy Nr 17" live @ AKW compilation. Here slinging …
Live in Rhein Main
Live in Rhein-Main by Gestalt et Jive documents the group’s most audacious mutations through two pivotal live sets, revealing an intricate interplay of improvisation and postmodern eclecticism. The album’s raw edges and unpredictable transitions expose the band’s commitment to redefining avant-rock’s boundaries, blending kinetic jazz idioms, punk dissonance, and European experimental traditions into a deeply engaging experience.
L'eil au centre de L'oeil
L'oeil au centre de l'oeil by La STPO distills decades of avant-garde experimentation into a collection where tumultuous rhythms, surrealist poetry, and unrestrained instrumentation converge. The album’s elliptical structures mirror the disjointed vividness of dreams, mapping an abstract and ever-changing sonic landscape that refuses conventional boundaries and draws listeners into a whirlwind of meticulously orchestrated chaos.
Un Giorno in una Piazza del Mediterraneo
In the late 70’s the Italian music scene recorded a renewed interest in a sound research involved to a stimulating fusion of popular elements, jazz improvisation and suggestions of the middle-oriental classical heritage. Starting from the experience of Aktuala the idea of a common "Mediterranean air", that could compare and harmonize rhythms and timbres of various regions, enlivened a large number of musicians.
In this context, it also placed the short history of Zeit and of his main mem…
The Oracle
Big tip! *300 copies limited edition, includes download card* Acclaimed New York-based composer Lea Bertucci offers The Oracle, a striking, vocal-focused collection of music that spans six tracks of adventurous sounds steeped in mysticism and imagination, over three years in the making. Her first purely solo endeavor since 2021’s much lauded A Visible Length of Light (Cibachrome Editions), The Oracle breaks new ground within the scope of Bertucci’s singular voice as an artist.
The Oracle is an al…
It’s All Breaking Apart
The six compositions on Soundwalk Collective’s new album, It’s All Breaking Apart, are based on field recordings from Berlin clubs, particularly Berghain, blended with additional sounds processed through modular synthesizers, ambient noise, fragments of conversations, and new vocal performances, both sung and spoken. The album features collaborations with Anika, Gudrun Gut, Elvin Brandhi, and Nina Kraviz. The opening track, The Crowd, is a collaboration between Soundwalk Collective and legendary…
Terp Interrupted
This audio recording is a new experiment, and simultaneously recalls a line of inquiry from the early practice of Christine Sun Kim. By inviting her to make a record, the curators proposed a return to her work with audio—to a series of artworks that were characterized by the sensorial vibrations and bodily experience of sound, for which she often employed voice. “I can feel [my voice] inside of my body, and in this way it is accessible to me.” Alongside an embodied connection to Deaf culture, th…
Written in Blood
Repress of a noise classic! Written in Blood by Slogun!
Few records capture the feeling of the wind coming off the water on the edge of lower manhattan, the dead zones by chinatown, the piers, the highway and under the bridges. the solitary parts of the city where men can truly feel alone surrounded by the machinery, concrete and elements called gotham. in a catalog of originality written in blood stands, cutting, biting and tearing into your mind with confrontational voices that truly make you …
Music For 18 Musicians
With Steve Reich’s Music for 18 Musicians, the French ensemble Links presents a classic of the 20th century: Written in 1978, it was Reich’s first work for a larger ensemble. From today’s perspective, it is an icon of American post-minimalism which has not lost any of its fascination.
Rhythmic precision, a large dynamic spectrum and a unique range of colors guarantee for an unforgettable listening experience.
La lontananza nostalgica utopica futura
Experiencing La lontananza utopica futura has enriched my musicianship. The unusual openness of the original materials by Nono required the establishment of an interpretive path through tapes and scores. This need has led to the emergence of a creative approach to performance, where the lines between roles and figures are blurred; with La lontananza, we cannot identify the composer as the provider of clear and direct instructions, and the performer cannot remain an invisible score-reproducer. A …
