Porphyr
** Edition of 200 ** A-Musik is delighted to present Titanoboa's debut album as the first a-Musik release of 2021. "Porphyr" contains eight tracks of delicate Electroacoustic Noire and contemporary Post-Industrial chamber music that were produced in her Cologne based studio. Being equally into rumbling noise, experimental turntablism, angelic singing, organ improvisation and a lot of studio wizardry, these recordings somehow remind of a combination of Pharmakon's raw power, Maximim Bérangère's l…
Theme From The Gay Man's Guide To Safer Sex
**Orange edition** Entirely a category of their own, fifteen years after the untimely passing of John Balance and the project’s demise, it remains impossible to calculate the importance of Coil. For just over two decades, following the band’s founding by Balance in 1983, it stood among the great emblems of underground music - a full realisation of the seeds and potential planted by punk, bred with the higher realms of experimental and electronic music. Their sprawling, deeply emotive catalog of …
Documento Inédito
**to be released on 15.05.2020, 180 gram vinyl** "For fans of Brazillian music or those who are drawn to romantic acoustic guitar this album answers all your longings. Cartola was a master of the Brazillian lament and an underspoken innovator for Brazillian popular music in general. In Documento Inédito we find the artist nostalgically ruminating over his life through interviews in which the interviewer thankfully lets us hear only the soft, weathered voice of Cartola and one almost perceives th…

A Thousand Steps
* Edition of 100 copies * De Santis Shabara is the unexpectable encounter of two different experiences in life and music: Apulia-born percussionist, producer and instruments creator Daniele De Santis (GRÜN, Dromoscope) and Indonesian performer and vocalist Rully Shabara (Senyawa, ZOO). As an imaginary dialogue spoken in an ancient tongue from the two opposite corners of the world, the music of the duo combines different tactile timbres and vibrant harmonics of percussion instruments with the re…
Vinterstrossel
Taco Bells has been playing their own music since 2006 and mostly with various friends as addition to the trio. Also the previous LP Vadelma / Hawaii (Ikuisuus 2009) came up from the first meeting of the Finnish master Pekko Käppi and Taco Bells in Helsinki 2007. Taco Bells doesn't play too much at private rehearsal places for themselves. Usually there's always at least tiny audience following the situation. Galleries, tours, weddings, bars, cellars… Recordings of Vinterströssel were made in a t…
Siipi Empii
* Edition of 300 * Kemialliset Ystävät is a long running musical collective headed by Finnish multimedia artist Jan Anderzén.

Anderzén explains, "The English translation unfortunately loses all the music and r…
Mineral Kingdom
The Parels is a duo of Jim Goodall and Eddie Ruscha from L.A. This LP is their second release after their self titled tape on Lal Lal Lal. Inside the grooves of this record they continue their strange exotica mission through the jungle and towards the mysterious grottos of the Mineral Kingdom. The trip is listened through a kaleidoscope: Small details and miniature symphonies change places and blend together, enchanting scenes morph into others. Limited edition of 300. Co-release with Ikuisuus.
Jade Warrior
Jade Warrior's first album following Tony Duhig and Jon Field's emergence out of the psychedelic July captures them abandoning the best of that band's whimsical moodiness in favor of a symphonic spirituality epitomized from the outset by the soaring guitars that ecstatically slice through the opening "Traveller." Reminiscent, in places, of a less-precious successor to Quintessence and the Incredible String Band in that moods and esotericism do sometimes get the better of the band's more conventi…
Logos works
Logos Works contains eight works by the Logos Duo featuring both Darge and Raes on various instruments, as well as other performers on a wide range of instruments. "This latest recording comes as they look back upon 25 years of collaboration as the Logos Duo. More than a retrospective, we see them affirming a long artistic relationship and forging new horizons--together and on divergent musical paths. In this, their work is a metaphorical journey: an inward exploration of the elegance of algorit…
The Bed Bug, Love Buzz
Time was intensifying to the point of becoming alarming, but primarily I was interested in seeing how far it would go. By 1901 I had found that a 10 inch disc playing for three minutes was better for most types of popular music, even popular songs, and the popular 'single' was born. As for myself: I was a lump of thinking ice. I thought of myself as a statue carved from a block of ice and this mad hallucination made me proud with an intense pleasure that is truly secret.

L’Ingenua / L’osceno Desiderio
* Edition of 500. 2020 Stock * Quartet Records and Beat Records presents two Carlo Savina titles from the scary and the sexy side of the Italian Maestro. The first score is L’ingenua (1975), an Italian sex comedy starring Illona Staller, about a pair of con artists whose latest scam is about to be ruined by a couple of beautiful women who are unwittingly ruining their plan. Starting from the orgasmic vocal prelude of the opening titles, Savina’s score has a fun, bouncy feel where the presence of…
Parallelograms
Classic folk soul masterpiece reissued on CD for the first time! This is an amazingly beautiful 1970 album of fragile, ethereal, melodic and soulful acid folk which has attained cult status as a soulful folk classic!

Chautauqua
Aaron not only surprised many with his 2007 debut Almond but gained great notices worldwide. The album set him on a course of many collaborations, and has since worked with a diverse array of artists, including Machinefabriek, Dawn Smithson (Jessamine, Sunn O))) and Jasper TX. His second album, River Water, proved a darkly compelling turn and stands as a forebear to Chautauqua in its pursuit of a distillation of pure emotional range, poised at the meeting point of intensity, calm and resolution.…
Colored Music
CD Edition. At the dawn of the 1980’s, a few years before her now legendary LP, Through The Looking Glass, took form, a young percussionist playing with the Berlin Philharmonic, Midori Takada, found her creative ambitions looking further afield. Her ideas brought her home to Japan, then peculating with new notions of what avant-garde and experimental music could be, to form The Mkwaju Ensemble with fellow percussionist Junko Arase and Yoji Sadanari. The project quickly recorded two astounding LP…
An Acoustic Confusion
An instantly captivating, all-original acoustic album of great depth and incredible maturity, the debut album (1971) by acoustic guitarist and songwriter, Steve Tilston. As for the making of the album: 'It was Ralph McTell who very kindly contacted Ian Anderson of Village Thing on my behalf,' Tilston explained. 'I followed it up and secured a meeting with Ian and a gig at the Troubadour Folk Club. I'd met Ralph through Wizz Jones at Les Cousins in Soho, and he'd been very complimentary abo…
Red field
'Trained as a classical guitarist, Akinori has more recently worked as an assistant and engineer to Tango-based sound artist and instrument builder Akio Suzuki. His debut album is an attempt to fuse guitar with electronic music, and this track includes local acoustic elements of the Tango Peninsula, including the local 'singing sands' and insect noises from neighbouring fields. 'Hören
Träd, Gräs Och Stenar
Reissue of the first Träd Gräs och Stenar album, originally issued on the Decibel label in Sweden in 1970. Their name translates to "trees, grass & stones." A rock group led by Bo Anders Persson (after his works with Pärson Sound, Harvester, International Harvester), this was their first of three albums, a definitely more "rockist" continuation of the post-minimalist experiments of the earlier groups, but still with that undefinable Swedish underground feeling. Similar in vibe to the live docume…
