Opium Crop Airstrikes
Declassified militarist ambience from Vatican Shadow, finding Dominik Fernow (Prurient) donning his desert fatigues for a mesmerising follow-up to his technoid outings with Ostgut Ton and Ancient Methods. It’s also the last in a series of first-time vinyl editions of previously tape-only releases.

Cut off from the World
Nick Forte debuts new project Half Mortal for Hospital Productions. While Forte's previous discography spans the majority of extreme music subcultures, going as far back as 1990, Half Mortal is his first project conceived as 'death metal electronics'. Expansive and maximal yet possessing spaciousness, and with a flair for technical violence, forte is a master of dynamics and uses IDM and the ill-fated death metal intro almost as bookends. Without a shred of retro nostalgia, this record dissolves…

Demon's Dance
Demon's Dance is an album by American saxophonist Jackie McLean recorded in 1967 for Blue Note, but not released until 1970. It features McLean in a quintet with trumpeter Woody Shaw, pianist LaMont Johnson, bassist Scotty Holt and drummer Jack DeJohnette.
"The record retreats a bit from McLean's nearly free playing on New and Old Gospel and 'Bout Soul, instead concentrating on angular, modal avant bop with more structured chord progressions... While Demon's Dance didn't quite push McLean's soun…
Space-Time Dreamtime
Occasionally, you find music outside the commercial mainstream, outside of everything – the music of visionaries, eccentrics, inventors, loners, the keepers of secrets, the path-finders. Moondog, Daphne Oram, Harry Partch are from this mould. And so too is Lori Vambe.
