Recyclopaedia Britannica
** 2021 Stock ** Sucata Tapes presents Recyclopaedia Britannica by People Like Us. Amazing to think it is almost 20 years later that we write this. This represents an earlier life of PLU, some of which carries through to now, some left long behind... We've supplied artwork and text (by Drew Daniel, Steve Thrower and Graham Duff) for both versions of the release.
“The work of People Like Us rests gingerly between two dangerous positions: on the one hand, the risk of fashioning merely stylish past…
Le Marais
Besoins Premiers presents the Le Marais. Once upon a time in a strange, distant world... Three characters Anouar, Guillaume, Jacques and their acolytes went in search of the original swamp to make a break with the urban beliefs. From an urgent need to leave town for a journey, they said to me that a call of the forest leads their willing. Le Marais as one named it in French, is a place of stagnant water, generally shallow and invaded by aquatic or herbaceous vegetation. It is an uncommon wetlan…
La Morte Young
* Limited Edition of 200 hand-numbered copies * Exit the haunted by the desolation latent drones of their previous productions: guitars and electronics in the red, screamed voice in walls of hyper-free noise, La Morte Young piles up the abrasive strata and breaks all the dikes with anger, offering an atomized vision of rock, as a reprise of the beginning in a primitive and violent version, only for the duration of a stunning 7’’. Philippe Robert

The Life Of Lines
**Edition of 100** Recorded and assembled 2015-2020 by William Selman and mastered by Stephan Mathieu. There are lines. Lines move, expand, contract, intersect, diverge. Lines have clear trajectories and unexpected turns. As listeners bound by linear time on a spatial plane of lines, our perception and experience as listeners is lines. William Selman’s inaugural release on his new label Critique of Everyday Life cofounded with Chris Miller (aka Gunnar Haslam) draws on the embodied, environmenta…
Laguna Cibernetica
In process of stocking **Edition of 100** Recorded and assembled 2015-2020 by William Selman and mastered by Stephan Mathieu. Laguna Cibernetica is a psychogeographical map of the industrial maritime city. It wanders through the streets, stumbling its way through the glass-blowing factories, the office buildings of upper management, the canal-side cafes - all with the inescapable lapping sounds of the lagoon in earshot. It captures the psychic terrain as well as the acoustic - the unease and exp…
Quaderno Rosso
In process of stocking **Edition of 100** Recorded and assembled 2015-2020 by William Selman and mastered by Stephan Mathieu. Inspired by Roland Kayn and the Gruppo d'Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, Quaderno Rosso investigates the dialectical relationship between cybernetics and free improvisation using an “action-reaction system of listening” (per Franco Evangelisti) to shape the entangled networks and redirect signal and information flow towards new ends.
Quaderno Rosso is a cybernetic work …

Beautiful Bamboo-Flute
** In process of stocking ** Seminal Japanese jazz album from 1971. Journeys through jazz fusion, soul and big band moods. Impossible to obtain in its original format, these days.

This highly sought-after album from the Japanese wood flute player is more upbeat and swinging than some of his other records. The big band he recorded this album with (Sharps & Flats) played a big part in the genesis of t…

Lavorazioni Carni Rosse
White dawn, the beginning of the world. From thick leaves and warmth, from dark soil nourishing on ripeness, from hidden sounds of animals, from light and from dark, from long gone languages, dark callings, from hills of insects, from a snare, from a deep breath, atmosphere arises, enigmatic conductor of those who will listen to the stuff of dreams. A wild, visionary record.Lavorazioni Carni Rosse is a state of being rather than a way of playing. Subjected, like all of us, to subliminal and coer…

Numinal Entry
** Edition of 300 ** This is the second release from the Halatern, Etc. label, run by Keith Connolly (of NNCK/No Neck Blues Band fame). Tom Carter requires no introduction (those who are curious are encouraged to visit the historically rich wholly-other.com). Of late, his Kazuyuki K. Null meets Franco Falsini excursionary instrumentalism has taken on an increased luminosity, due in no small part to some unexpected time spent at a certain house on the borderland. In his own words: "Information-in…
Programmed
** Edition of 200 copies in full-colour sleeve ** Matt Middleton (Crude, The Aesthetics, Dirtlove): "The Futurians are a band that have soul. Their music, a pulsating, minimalist, primitivist, machinistic monster of a thing is at once fiction and fantasy, at once politics and hyper-reality. Theirs is an approach synthesizing elements of no-wave, new-wave, synth-rock, drone rock, doom rock, kraut-rock, Dunedin dirge, robot rock, riot grrllism, and calculator punk." Brad Rose: "Clayton Noone and h…
