Virgins
Virgins was recorded during three periods in 2012, mostly in Reykjavik, Montreal and Seattle, using ensembles in live performance. The sound palette of this work is wider, almost 'percussive' and tighter sounding than previous works. While this album remains committed to a painterly form of musical abstraction, it is also a record of restrained composition recorded live primarily in intimate studio rooms. This record employs woodwinds, piano and synthesizers towards an effort at doing what digit…
Ethiopian Urban Modern Music Vol. 3
A few years ago the world discovered a unique sound coming from the distant Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa. The emotional blow was only matched by the brightness of this original and magnificent discovery. The "Ethiopiques" series directed by Francis Falcetto and edited by Buda Musique provides a comprehensive landscape of this subtile musical universe where local and western cultures do magnify each other.
This new "Ethiopian Urban Modern Music" release follows the first "Soul & Groove" installm…
Live At Donau Festival, Krems, Austria, 2012
In a rare performance at Donau Festival in Krems, Austria in May of 2012, Tony Conrad (member of the Dream Syndicate project by La Monte Young), Genesis Breyer P-Orridge (Psychic TV / Throbbing Gristle...) and Edley ODowd (Psychic TV / Toilet Boys...) collaborate to create a unique, completely improvisational soundtrack that is at once transcendental & visceral. Consisting mainly of 2 violins, orchestral percussion and sparse electronics, quiet droning gives way to volcanic crescendos a…
Sky Dice / Mapping the Studio

His artistic practice explores avant-garde trajectories in electronic music composition, formal systems, sonification and psychoacoustics.

The Lost
* Full Tone Cover Artwork, incl. printed Inner Sleeve * The Lost follows and expands on Otto A Totland's intimate debut solo piano album Pinô from 2014. Once again several days were spent in Nils Frahm's legendary Durton studio to lay down both composed and improvised pieces of quiet beauty. While mostly residing in a small Norwegian coastal town, Otto has been trying to escape the constant movement towards fast paced, polluted lives, where it seems like sounds and impressions never stop. The Lo…
All My Circles Run
All My Circles Run is the fourth full length release by Montreal-based electro-acoustic composer Sarah Davachi and her second outing for Students of Decay. In a move which may surprise followers of her previous output, the five compositions on this record eschew synthesizer entirely, each focusing on a different instrument, including strings, voice, organ and piano. What remains consistent however is the striking attention to detail and commitment to investigating tonal possibility that c…
On Mande
Ever since her childhood Ogoya Nengo, baptized Anastasia Oluoch in about 1940, would excite listeners around her village with her singing abilities. Very soon she had received her stage name "Ogoya Nengo" which in Dholuo (language) means: the most precious and expensive singer in the region. Her debut album "Rang'ala" (Honest Jon's/London) came out in 2014 and was recorded and produced by Sven Kacirek and Stefan Schneider at various spots around Rang'ala Village, Siaya County, Kenya. Now "OGOYA …

Skinny Woman
Cinedelic Records present the first-ever reissue of Ramasandiran Somusundaram's Skinny Woman, originally released in 1974. Skinny Woman is the only solo album by Indian percussionist Ramasandiran Somusundaram, a former member of Bambibanda E Melodie (post-Garybaldi band of Bambi Fossati), Maya, and New Trolls' Atomic System (1973). Produced and played along with a large portion of New Trolls - the De Scalzi brothers, Gianni Belleno, and Giorgio Usai - Skinny Woman is an absolute anomaly of an al…
Emak Bakia
Emak Bakia – a long out of print masterpieces from 1994. Even in the huge Bryn Jones' discography Emak Bakia really stands out of albums from the period due to its rather unique (house-music related) sound and short, by the standards of Bryn Jones, tracks. Like a crossmix between Psychic TV (circa Towards Thee Infinite Beat) and Muslimgauze's trademark percussion and eastern vibes. Re-mastered and with new stunning artwork.
Crepax a 33 Giri
* Italian Language * For ten years two brothers, Franco and Guido Crepax, worked side by side to give a graphic identity to the production of vinyl in Italy. For Franco it is one of the many "gimmicks" that will make him one of the fathers of Italian discography, for Guido the launching pad for success as an advertising graphic designer. Guido then became an internationally renowned cartoonist thanks to Valentina's character. This book is the first complete catalogue of over 250 art works creat…
Bianca
* Limited Numbered Edition of 200 * In 1972, when his brother Franco asked him to work on the first Garybaldi’s album artwork, Guido Crepax already knew what would be the ideal character for the cover and interiors of “Nuda”. Young, rebellious, modern and antique at the same time, tormented and unconventional. Crepax chose Bianca because he felt a strong similarity between the anarchic and hallucinating story of her character and the psychedelic atmosphere of Garybaldi’s lyrics and music. “We ch…
Maledetti (Maudits) - Color LP
**2020 Remastered Reissue. Red Vinyl** 1976 was a year of flux and change. For the recording of the fifth Area album, the core membership of Stratos, Fariselli, Tofani and Tavolazzi were present, but drummer Capiozzo only appears on about half of the album, replaced on various tracks by either Walter Calloni or Paul Lytton. Steve Lacy augments the band, as do several other studio musicians (including a string quartet). Perhaps it was the contributions of this eclectic group of guests that gives …
Dubs Pour Oh La La
Not a lockdown record here: With 'Comité Hypnotisé' Tim Vanhamel (Millionaire, Evil Superstars...) tumbles into a subsonic wormhole where smoked out dub glues with boogie funk and off-kiltered early hip hop vibes. Transcending frequencies from an unknown galaxy channeled through a broken 70’s echo deck. Shortly after Evil Superstars played a one off concert for ‘An Evening With Laika’ in the Ancienne Belgique in 2013 Tim started to create the music which was the entering point of ‘Dubs Pour Oh …
Yek 2
Mohammad Reza Mortazavi (Tombak) and Burnt Friedman (electronics, synth) release their second EP YEK 2. "Equipped with one drum only and laser-pattern -- electronics, Mortazavi and Friedman produce delicate, yet archaic, trance -- inducing, transnational dance music with... hints of dust and grain..." --(Freq) Mortazavi and Friedman move hands and faders according to odd cyclical rhythms with incredible accuracy. The extreme dynamic range and rhythmic congruency of drum and electronics merge bot…
Scanning
A pioneer of electronic, computer, and instrumental avant-garde music, for the majority of his life, the German composer Roland Kayn remained one of the great unheralded figures in the landscape of 20th century sound - a founding member of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, who delved into singular territories entirely his own. Fortunately, in the last few years, in part due to the release of his monumental work, A Little Electronic Milky Way of Sound, by Frozen Reeds in 2017, and Die S…
A Fistful of Dollars / Per un Pugno di Dollari
**2021 edition on LP format. On clear yellow vinyl, with gatefold cover.** Year 1964. Almost out of nowhere, the little-known and regarded director Sergio Leone transposes into a western key a film by Akira Kurosawa, and by putting together all the right pieces, adding a bit of intuition, lays down new rules for the 'spaghetti western' genre, giving way to an endless series of imitations."A Fistful of Dollars" would not have the same impact without the inimitable music written by Ennio Morricone…
Where Is The Cat?
The Cabildos are among the most mysterious musical creatures ever born in the '70s: in practice, we only know that they took their name from Johnny Cabildo, an Italian keyboardist and composer living in Florida, and that they released a total of only three albums: "Yuxtaposición" (1972), under the name Cabildo's Three, "Cross Fire" (1974) and the latter "Where Is the Cat?" (1979), the only LP to have never been reissued in any format to date.The Cabildos' compositions were all instrumental and f…
Orfeo 9
*Yellow vinyl * The son of the popular tenor Tito Schipa, the young Tito Jr. started his career in 1967 with a show based on Bob Dylan's songs, arranged like a sort of rock opera. Fascinated by this formula he repeated it many times in his later works. His recording debut came in 1972 for Fonit Cetra, with the single "Sono passati i giorni", but his first proper work was the ambitious opera "Orfeo 9", that he had concentrated on since 1969, and that was first represented in theatre in Rome in 19…
