2015 release ** "Over the years, genevan duo Sinner DC has built a solid yet discreet reputation on the international electronic music scene. Their ethereal intergalactic yet catchy melodies, full on emotions and melancholy, became throughout the years the band's trademark. Co-published by the prestigious Museum of Ethnography of Geneva and swiss renowned Mental Groove Records, this first album entitled MEG/CDG inaugurates a new series of CDs devoted to contemporary compositions sourced from th…
2007 release ** Oversized cardboard sleeve. "With his fourth solo-release, Reto Mäder aka RM74 takes us on a fevery missionary journey which is driven by an unholy quest for saturation and leads us into the dark places where tortured souls dwell. Unpredictably muckraking in the shoals of timeless abysses, RM74 seeks to kindle the supressed fires of passion. Nothing less! To do justice to this mission, Mäder interweaves acoustic instruments such as an organ, a piano, a bassguitar or a harp with a…
1995 release ** Limited edition of 499 hand-numbered copies in oversized cardboard sleeve. "Sprut "Progetto Numero 1" creates a new soundscape and texture by overlaying a saxophone solo on top of a rock band,he is "superimposing... "plagarism" an schizophrenia/"schizophonia". Tzadik Records made a re-press of this CD as part of its composer series, adding "Progetto Numero 2", and "Progetto Numero 3". under the title guise, Sprut by Italian composer Giustino Di Gregorio."
2009 release ** Limited edition of 500 hand-numbered copies in oversized cardboard sleeve. "Italian flautist Bardini and French noisemeister Jolif have united to celebrate the music and culture of the Breton nation. With few exceptions, most of the lyrics are taken from traditional songs, but set to their own music. It need not be said that this is largely in the Breton tongue. The downbeat tune is envisioned through the prism of post-industrial, with light effects alongside the primary backbone…
2013 release ** Cardboard sleeve. "This is the complete, uncut recording of the concert of the same name, held in the Music Hall of Kichijoji Art Museum on December 8, 2012. All of the tunes were composed by visual artist Hideki Nakazawa under the banner of "methodicism." Pieces using two different systems--polyphonic tunes created from the Japanese syllabary, and instrumental pieces for solo performance--were performed alternately. Polyphonic tunes like "Japanese Syllabic Invention in Two Voice…
2008 release ** Packaged in an A5–sized glossy digipak. "The third and the most complete release by one of the most tallented ambient artists hailing from Poland these days. Unifying vast array of elements, Per Aspera once again achieves remarkably introvert but vibrant style. Eerie industrial atmosphere seamlessly blends with serene harmonies of almost orchestral form. Cinematic, monstrous drone formations morph into pulsating abyss of dissonant disturbances and uncompromised sonic experiments,…
2005 release ** Industrial / Dark Ambient constructed from material gathered using radio wave scanning, data from radio telescopes, and archives of universe research data servers.
1998 release ** "This big band, led by T.S. Heg (alto sax & keyboards) is nominally a 'jazz outfit', but since in addition to lots of reeds, brass, bass and drums, they work with guitars, synths, sampling, etc., it's a fairly safe bet that this isn't 'just' a jazz album. Mostly structured with some very crazed, free parts, I guess you could compare them to Doctor Nerve in that regard, even though they sound nothing like Nerve."
1997 release ** "This big band, led by T.S.

2012 release ** "Gridshape is an intersection of heavily distorted violent sounds with points of kinetic aural quietness through the interaction between digital electronics and guitars. Franz Rosati: Electronics, distorted guitars. Francesco Saguto: Classic, distorted, prepared guitars."
2013 release ** An electronic exploration of scrapes and whispers, silence and noise. Ennio Mazzon is a sound artist who works in the field of experimental electronica. His background in engineering and his interest for maths, physics and programming languages are conveyed into the development of infrastructures of digital tools that he uses for audio processing and live improvisation. He is the founder of the label Ripples and he is part of the project Zbeen.
2010 release ** "Andrew Hargreaves, one half of The Boats, largely sails solo on Defragment where his melodious piano playing and electronic programming are augmented in a small number of cases by the contrasting presence of Danny Norbury's cello. A sense of dub-like spaciousness permeates the mix, and there occurs an occasional dubby bass line too. But lest anyone get the wrong impression, Defragment is most assuredly not a dub album but rather a forty-minute collection of hazy piano-based sett…
Six compositions for chamber ensembles performed the Ensemble 2e2m by Giuliano D’Angiolini, ethnomusicologist and composer who "is a positively unique figure in contemporary music. His profound, well-conceived and stubborn take on music has led him to what he calls »impersonal« music — music that has fully abandoned the idea of development or form. Through successive states of presentation, which aim to elucidate, d’Angiolini wanted to leave place in sound so that music could become less volunt…
