2006 release ** ""Their newest full length appeared hot on it's heels, containing the band's most perplexing material so far. The nine tracks here keep it very loud and very heavy, and completely instrumental in contrast to the minimal use of vocal sounds on their debut. Each song is a super complicated tapestry of dense angular math-rock riffs, lopsided rhythmic patterns, and paranoid sounds of unknown origin that will all of a sudden come together to form a beautiful Slinty passage or a creaki…
2011 release ** "Laurent Pernice and Laurent Perrier bear very similar names. But the closeness between the two artists goes beyond mere coincidence. Both are ex-members of Nox, the mythical rock industrial French band of the 1980's. Since then, they have built a true personal and artistic complicity. In 1997, Laurent Pernice quits Paris to live in Marseilles, South of France, where Laurent Perrier visits him regularly. In 2005, on occasion of one of his visits, Perrier is invited to listen to P…
2005 release ** "The nearly seventy-minute live recording documents the ambient collaboration of Origami Galaktika with the Berlin project I:Wound and a lesser-known Norwegian, calling himself Inderst Elia. The basis of the sound skeleton is made up of psychoactive drones, which are then supplemented by a wide range of differently modulated rhythmic sequences and especially the most diverse field-recordings - human voices, the noise of city streets, sounds from nature, but also the growl of car …
Bomb! **Remastered 180g LP, includes reproductions of the original nine art prints and insert** After the poor sales of their debut album, Faust's “So Far” , originally released in 1972, presents the more commercial and accessible side of the legendary German krautrock band without giving up their advanced and experimental personality. It is a perfect album to begin exploring the group's discography, featuring one of their most well-known songs, “It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl”, and is consider…

Cluster was the pioneering German duo of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius. Formed on the cusp of the 1970s, they were a part of West Germany's nascent Kosmische Musik scene. The group would use restrained improvisational techniques similar to Gruppo Nuova Consonanza, working with both electric and acoustic instruments (organ, guitar, tone generators, cello, etc.) to create a singular sound that Julian Cope called "a huge beating heart, planet-sized and awesome." Originally released in …

2009 release ** "The Foot Job Band is a tough one to pin down, hard to label, and not easily put in box. You can’t tie up with a pretty red bow to be given as a present, even though producer/director Esmerelda Ronchi would love to receive such a risque gift! The ensemble, a true sextet in all senses of the word, take the listener through 14 tracks of lusty improvisation, deep composition and sensual spoken word. Some of the highlights: The drama kicks off on the the fiery 70’s tinged “Arpeggi” w…
Incredible vinyl release of a previously unreleased live recording of a Belgian concert by the Freddie Hubbard Quintet in 1973. It was recorded by Belgian radio & television broadcasting service (BRT) and is now remastered. It is a sweet electric set recorded right in the middle of his classic years for CTI – and with a sound that's maybe even more sublime than his work for that legendary label! The group here is a hip quintet – with Junior Cook on tenor, and George Cables on some especially gr…
Gilgongo Records is pleased to announce “Continuous Hole”, a collaborative album by Drew Daniel (Matmos) and John Wiese. The fruit of over ten years of home recordings in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Baltimore, “Continuous Hole” melds improvisation and musique concrète composition into a uniquely sweaty document of labor-intensive rhythm. A finger puzzle of reconciled opposites: lockstep structure and constant flux. Many of the tracks reflect the unique blending of the disparate backgrounds of…
* Red vinyl, 180gr Vinyl. A milestone * Out of any classification of musical genre, "Confusional Quartet" is a distillation of the creativity and freedom of expression that in 1977 put Bologna at the center of the international cultural scene. This record places the Confusional Quartet in the history of Italian alternative music Futurism with its dynamic force, youthful spirit, attention to innovation and a bit of Italian histrionism; the sixties with their hopeful and playful atmosphere and the…
A delicate and mysterious vinyl LP release of two works for chamber ensemble in which Reymolds addresses the dualistic nature of aural perception, approaching the elusive territory between the polarized pair and the unified whole.
This record is divided into two sections. The first part is the title track and takes up most of side one. Ali's Smile was first published in 1971 and was privately released as a one-sided LP, in an edition of 99 copies. It came in a plain sleeve with a hardback copy of the spoken text, and was sold exclusively through Unicorn Bookshop in Brighton, UK. Bill Butler, the bookshop owner, was still paying off a viciously punitive fine and associated court costs imposed in 1968 after a guilty verdict…
New Future City Radio is the first duo collaboration of longtime creative partners Damon Locks & Rob Mazurek. In a hyperactive 40-minute, 18-track suite that runs like a boombox mixtape, the two prolific multi-media artists contemplate community, transformation, and the future through the programmatic format of a pirate radio station for the people. These two artists have worked together from the peak days of the late 90s / early 00s Chicago music scene up through the present day, which has seen…

2007 release ** ""The enigmatic Luke Hazard emerges from the black woods of West Virginia with an album that sounds cursed and burnt up from the very beginning. Eth boldly marks the birth of the Install label and as you might expect, it doesn't fool around. At times primordial and cosmic, Ourson guides you through barren windswept landscapes of rock and mud while simultaneously ripping apart the stereo field like a crusty blood-stained cloth. Eth is a truly epic recording of both gentle and unfr…
2013 release ** "The new solo work by inventive French soundartist is the true symphony, divided into several parts titled like 'Adagio', 'Allegro', 'Menuet', etc. but without any hints to traditional instruments or classical orchestration - just the pure white noise structures. A mediactivist, artist-researcher, composer / musician, poet and tongues destroyer, experimental film maker and anarchitect, founder and member of Apo33, Julien Ottavi is involved in research and creative work, combining…
