Henry House
CD housed in 6 panel digisleeve. 12 pages booklet and Obi. Henry House is a recurring dream song. Combining closely tuned instruments and sinetones, tape-music editing techniques, field recordings, and voice, this eighty-minute, five-part song cycle is an evolutionary step away from the spontaneity of the free jazz/noise aesthetic usually found in the music of Nate Wooley. Henry House expands on the ecstatic, durational work found in Wooley’s Seven Storey Mountain, a six-part composition that ha…

Onimikìg
Timothy Archambault’s unaccompanied flute pieces for this album have been inspired by Indigenous brontomancy (divination by thunder). Each piece highlights a different extended flute technique metaphorically related to types of thunder sounds: claps, peals, rolls, rumbles, inversions, and CG (cloud-to-ground). The Indigenous flute used in this recording is made of cedar respective to the traditional woods used by the Kichesipirini and other tribes who live along the Ottawa & Saint Lawrence River…
Ice Cold Pop
2025 stock The moment – hard to be in it, even harder to catch it. The Duo Ige*timer has dedicated itself absolutely to that search of the moment. Klaus Janek and Simon Berz let their music grow out of the situation surrounding them. They’ve been on a tour through the States and at the concerts in Baltimore, Philadelphia and New Orleans they switched their recorder on. The three pieces on Ice Cold Pop are a documentation of their perception of these cities. Nothing is preset and nothing ist reus…
Exorcist II: The Heretic
2025 stock In one of his first forays into big budget Hollywood, Ennio Morricone handed in one of his weirdest, eeriest scores.
From the beautiful to the absolutely demented, while still playing in the same sandbox. Once you get to the deranged Satanic prog rock of “Magic And Ecstasy,” it hits you: this is the craziest we’ve ever heard Morricone. And it’s amazing.
“I like the first Exorcist, because of the Catholic guilt I have, and because it scared the hell out of me; but The Heretic surpasses…

And The Mexican Jumping Beans
Back from a journey to Mexico Paul Panhuysen brought mexican jumping beans which are sold there as toys on the local markets. When in Eindhoven he began to experiment with these beans in different settings. As a result a cd with different recordings was published which used piezo discs as contact microfones, while beans are activated by lamps. The beans were jumping in eight containers made of various materials like plastic, aluminium or wood among others.

Epsilon In Malaysian Pale
2025 stock Epsilon in Malaysian Pale... which could be described as part of the "Phaedra Rubycon Epsilon" trilogy, shows Edgar Froese's impressions after the Australian Tangerine Dream concert tour, in relation to the flora and fauna there.

A sun-drenched musical landscape that is in no way inferior to the most famous Tangerine Dream albums.
It was not without reason tha…
Open Soul
Released in 1976 by Chicago's local label Stage Productions, this is the only album by a 6-piece soul band centered around the four Burton brothers. The original version is rarely available on the market, and when it does sell for over US$1000, it's no exaggeration to say that it's the ultimate collector's edition that everyone wants at least once! Starting with the epic and groovy funk "Open Soul" (B1) that uses the entire B-side of the record and lasts over 20 minutes, the superb funky tune "L…
Houdini
2025 stock Signed to Atlantic Records in the hubbub after Nirvana's Nevermind (1991) exploded, the Melvins' fifth album Houdini was a conscious attempt by the band to make a record that wouldn't alienate their fans but that the band members themselves would also enjoy. Their best-selling release by a country-mile, this album crested at number 29 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. Houdini would be most folks introduction to the band and songs like 'Honeybucket' received MTV airplay. First time o…
Dale Crover
2025 stock In 1992 the Melvins' fascination/adoration/denigration of the mighty KISS rock and roll universe compelled them to excrete out three solo masterworks inspired by the KISS solo LPs. The first in the series is King Buzzo, from the Melvins' giggling guitar grumpus. Four songs of atmospheric clanging and rockin' banging. Also features the many talents, drumming and otherwise, of a famous Grunge superstar, whose name sort of rhymes with New Wave Asshole. The second in the series is Dale Cr…

The Equinox

Samsara
Thirty-three years after their first meeting, Samsara is a spectacular reunion of three of the world's most extreme musical explorers—John Zorn, Bill Laswell, and Mick Harris.
The Prophecy

Macchia Forest
An organic audio forest of analogue electronics, electro-acoustic sounds, sound-sculpture instruments plus singing and piano, even (outrageous!). "The guy from HNAS with the wonderful lady from Anima, plus one of Christoph Heeman's buddies from the project In Camera. Homemade marimba, voice, violin, hand drums, trumpet, autoharp, & electronics slip around each other quietly. Heeman knows how to be ominous, and Fuchs knows how to be squirrely, so they complement each other really well." Weirdorec…
