Who Owns The Dark?
Demdike Stare & Cherrystones unveil a long-in-the-making darkside fantasy weaving atmospheric and loose-limbed cuts recorded at labs in London and Manchester, brilliantly shaking a bush of ghostly trig points ranging from the Mars rehearsal tapes to Minimal Man, Randy Greif’s cut-ups, Conrad Schnitzler’s industrial prototypes and ‘70s ECM sides – with vocal contributions from Ssabae’s mesmerising Laura Lippie.
In dazed pursuit of styles heard on Cherrystones’ DDS tape ‘Peregrinations in SHQ (Sup…
Live At The Melkweg 25.9.87
100 copies. C60 cassette with improved master and fullcolor print on the cassette but original printwork. Los Angeles, September 1987. Savage Republic are in the middle of their first European tour when they land at Amsterdam's legendary Melkweg. What gets captured on eight-track tape that night is pure alchemy: tribal post-punk, cosmic surf, oil drum industrial and guitars droning like desert prayers.
Founded in 1981 by Bruce Licher and Mark Erskine in the underground parking garages of UCLA - …
Home Demo Tracks
"Home Demo Tracks" by Muslimgauze is a collection of eight tracks with a total duration of about 47 minutes, featuring a distinctive blend of ambient electronics and polyrhythmic drumming. The album captures the raw and experimental essence of Muslimgauze's sound, characterized by visceral percussion, diverse voices, and sound effects. It reflects the artist's unique position in underground, experimental, and industrial music circles, continuing the innovative and atmospheric style that defines …
Turn On Arabic American Radio
The relationship between Bryn Jones's music as Muslimgauze and the track/album titles he would provide (sometimes right on the tapes he would send in for release, but often determined later, sometimes even giving two different pieces months apart the same title, accidentally or not) has always been a little mysterious. Jones himself can no longer be asked, and as you continue to investigate the swathes of material he provided, you hit sources like the DAT or DATs that make up the contents of the…
Maroon
Separated from both its reputation and its sleeve art, the music of Muslimgauze explores the relationship of visual sensations -- space, color, depth, illusion -- to the listening experience. The music on Maroon is dub-like inspired techno music, laidback with voices appearing randomly in the mix. The thick drums and rich found sounds that densely populate the soundscapes on Maroon give materiality to the warm presence of the synth washes. The music is so layered and textured that it ceases to b…
Tandoor Dog
*2025 Stock* "In 1998 Staalplaat and Muslimgauze were on a conquering spirit. Bryn Jones (1961-1999), the man behind Muslimgauze delivered new works, almost on a weekly basis and was more than happy to see them released straight away. Unlike others, Staalplaat was never shy to release larger works, lumping various works together, such as the 9CD “Box Of Silk & Dogs”. Allowing free reign in editing, the 4LP box set ‘Tandoori Dog”, contained the LP of the same name, which saw only eight out of the…
Autodidact
The first entry in the Ivan The Tolerable archive reissue series - and what a place to start. Originally self-released as a 10" lathe cut on Ack! Ack! Ack! Records in February 2018, now remastered and pressed on limited edition khaki vinyl. 250 copies. This is IT.
Oli Heffernan recorded the bulk of this over a single weekend in January 2018. Living alone in a big house. Not seeing people. Going through what he calls "a very minor breakdown that was to last for pretty much the entire year." Track…

The archive reissue series continues! Originally released as a handmade CD run of about 50 copies on Ack! Ack! Ack! Records back in 2019 - screenprinted on the sly during lunch breaks at the day job, hand-assembled, long gone - Wild Nature finally gets the vinyl treatment it deserves. Remastered. Repackaged. Super limited edition orange wax.
This is Oli Heffernan working completely alone. The LAST album he recorded entirely by himself - all instruments, recording, mixing, mastering and artwork d…
Nocturnes
** Housed in a reverse board jacket. Limited edition of 319 copies ** Oli Heffernan locked himself away and emerged with 10 chunks of lo-fi instrumental library-hop - the first solo Ivan The Tolerable album since Wild Nature back in 2019. No band. No collaborators. Just Heffernan alone with guitars, bass, synths, organs, drum machines, electric piano, mellotron and percussion. A restless mind doing what it does best.
Nocturnes is a sonic tapestry that weaves atmospheric library music with dusty …
Vertigo
*300 copies limited edition* Stars align and Oli Heffernan brings his ever-(d)evolving Ivan The Tolerable to Riot Season for two LPs of sublime entropic drift. Having this time recruited Christian Alderson (The Unit Ama) on drums, John Pope (Ponyland) on double bass, Kevin Nickles (Ecstatic Vision) on flute and saxophone and Ben Hopkinson on electric paino - both works were recorded as a quintet almost instantaneously, the players barely brushing or breathing a note before the whole thing was do…
Man In Space With Sounds
Man In Space With Sounds is one of those legendary LPs many have heard about but few have ever actually heard or seen. A rare souvenir of the 1962 Seattle World’s Fair, this music served as the soundtrack to a ride called the Bubbleator, which transported fair visitors through an overview of the future, a technological utopia where science and space travel promised solutions to all of humanity’s plights. Needless to say, that future never arrived and this music (actually recorded in the early 19…

Mosaics; Pieces of Stone
The sole album from male-female duo Jade Stone & Luv is a lost gem from the heart of the psychedelic 1970s. A long-time cult item and highly praised in the Acid Archives book. This reissue includes a bonus track, extensive liner notes and photos. 600 copies limited edition – multicolored vinyl. Composed and self-produced in Nashville, Mosaics; Pieces of Stone went unnoticed by the music industry upon release.

Telefon
First ever reissue of rare, sought-after, and stoned-to-the-max Swedish underground psych/progressive/experimental treasure from 1971, originally released on the legendary Gump label and featuring the mythic underground personalities and musicians Einar Heckscher and Johnny Mowinckel. Side A is sung in English and side B in Swedish. The band name has been mixed up many times by collectors, mistaken as either Telefon Paisa (an earlier incarnation of the band) or Telefon (the album title), but thi…
Jola Rota
2016 Reissue, edition of 400 copies. The first official vinyl reissue of one of Sweden's greatest unknown psychedelic treasures from the 1970s. One time only limited pressing of 500 copies. From the original master tapes and with the original artwork, including previously unpublished archival pictures and liner notes. The album contains a mysterious, shamanistic and highly psychedelic “folk music” infused with incredible soundscapes of derailed fuzzed out violins, soaring guitars, rattling han…
Hug of Gravity
*155 copies limited edition* »Hug of Gravity« is the second solo album by Raphael Loher and his first for Hallow Ground. The Swiss pianist and composer uses piano preparations, tape machines, and digital means to forge an aesthetic of playful reduction and rhythmic abstraction. The source material for these four sprawling pieces was culled from recordings of the artist performing the album’s predecessor, 2022’s »Keemuun.« Loher used them in a painstaking two-part working process to create an alb…
Nam June's Spirit Was Speaking To Me
A spellbinding tribute from one multi-faceted artist to another. New York-based artist Aki Onda (b. 1967) conjured a transduction to the Korean multi-media pioneer Nam June Paik (1932-2006).
Puck
** Edition of 500, comes with 12-page “Puck” pamphlet + Two art cards with program notes** Sean McCann's Puck is here. Music for Public Ensemble, my previous album, was released three years ago. And three years before that was Private Ensemble. Puck is both public and private in nature. A smear of chamber works from Stockholm, Moscow, New York, and Kansas. Three aged personal recordings from 2008, 2009, and 2010 are also poured in the batter: a bedroom violin trio, ambient music, and a sad pl…
