Presque Rien No.1 / Société II
Originally issued in 1970 within the third suite of LPs comprising Deutsche Grammophon's Avant-Garde series, the French composer and electroacoustic pioneer Luc Ferrari's Presque Rien No.1 / Société II stands among the most important and groundbreaking albums issued within the canon of 20th Century avant-garde and experimental music. Containing two radically distinct works, Presque Rien No.1 (1967-1970) and Société II (1967), it doubles as a near perfect illumination of the incredible range of c…
Beyondddddd The Notessssss
Tip! *200 copies limited edition* In the depths of Geneva’s Fonderie Kugler red-lit-boudoir, stand four grand pianos surrounded by divinities. The two elder Erard brothers are tuned down a quarter tone lower than their neighbours, a twin pair of gleaming and valiant Yamaha’s. Charlemagne and Seppe both sit facing each other, managing the 428Hz tuning from the tip of their left hand, while the right hand controls the conventional 440Hz machine. This four-piano fantasy was born a few years ago, w…

Hard Attack
Released in 1972 on Kama Sutra, Hard Attack is a heavy rock burner from New York trio Dust. Packed with searing riffs, wild energy, and the powerhouse drumming of Marc Bell (later Marky Ramone), it’s a raw, intense listen that still hits with full force. A true cult classic.
Racional Vol 1 + 2
2023 Reissue. Exact LP repro edition. Grey-area reissue of these legendary albums, with top audio quality privately released by Tim Maia on his own Seroma imprint (the name Seroma is the sum of the first syllables of Tim Maia (Sebastião Rodrigues Maia) names. SE from Sebastião, RO from Rodrigues and MA from Maia). It’s difficult to overstate the importance of Brazil’s Tim Maia. A wildly restless creative mind Tim Maia was also a huge personality. The larger than life man made a huge contribution…
Winter Songs, Wedding Songs
Biggest Tip! ** 250 copies. Deluxe LP comes complete with a 20pp booklet * The long-anticipated LP of folk songs from Ukraine’s Mykolaiv region — one of the worst affected by Russia’s invasion. - The Black Sea folklore of Mykolaiv is a women’s history in song: neglected by folklorists and ethnologists for the area’s late settlement and mixed ethnic composition. This LP corrects that oversight.
Collected over the last decade by the young musician and ethnographer, Tetiano Chukno, these recording…
A Question of Silence / Broken Mirrors
Purge.xxx unveils hidden gems of Dutch experimental cinema with the first ever release of Lodewijk de Boer & Martijn Hasebos' synthesiser soundtracks that have remained hidden in the vaults for over four decades. The centerpiece of this historic release is the collaborative score between Lodewijk de Boer (longtime collaborator of avant-garde filmmaker Frans Zwartjes) and Martijn Hasebos for Marleen Gorris' explosive 1982 debut film “A Question of Silence”, alongside de Boer's solo score for Gorr…
Trabant II
With less than a year having passed since their incredible and widely celebrated, first-ever collection dedicated to the 1980s, Hungarian countercultural music collective Trabant, purge.xxx builds upon the momentum and its intoxicating highs with ‘Trabant II’, their second deep dive into clandestine, previously unissued recordings by the band. Meticulously culled from the collectively’s vast archive of DIY cassettes — capturing politically urgent expressions at the junctures of post-punk, synth …
Psyché
Drop a needle on Psyché's debut double-sider and you'll see visions, or rather Mediterranean visions, be they of waves of heat shimmering above dunes of sand, or of women dancing around a bonfire on a rocky plain, or of bushy cliffs overlooking emerald-green and turquoise sea. The name Psyché is of course ancient Greek for 'soul' or 'mind', signifying the band's love of psychedelic funk, but also the wide range of Mediterranean influences – from Southern Europe to the Balkan Peninsula, and from …
Disko Acciaio
* 150 numbered copies, each with a hand-assembled unique sleeve and a micro-zine, all copies are different.* Two tracks recorded in Milan in 1986, released for the first time forty years later, on the Milanese DIY imprint SSTARS. Joykix is Fabrizio Longo (b. Milan 1964); Hydra Mentale was the name of his fanzine, taken from the mythological hydra that regenerates under each blow, its 1984 first issue carrying a monochrome Manchester-style industrial cityscape on the cover.
By the time of the 19…
The Second Annual Report
40th Anniversary Edition, on Double CD. Restored and remastered by Chris Carter from 24bit 'baked tape' digital transfers of the original first generation analogue master tapes. The tragic death of Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson earlier this year signalled the end of Throbbing Gristle, whose surviving members are currently working to complete their final album before retiring the name. It couldn't be a more appropriate time to revisit their revolutionary records of the 1970s and 1980s, remastere…
Live At Marie-Antoinette
The Play Loud! (live) music series is based on three precepts: Alan Lomax's work as an archivist and chronicler, John Peel's BBC radio sessions, and the work of Direct Cinema pioneers, such as the Maysles Brothers, Leacock, Wildenhahn and Pennebaker. Filming live shows means not doing things TV-style, but in a very personal, intuitive and adventurous manner - nothing is staged for the shoot. Play Loud!'s intention is it to create an extensive archive of interesting popular music and culture …
Tapetopia 002: GDR Underground Tapes (1984-1989)
To release a tape in East Germany in 1986 called Ihre großen Erfolge (Their Great Successes) illustrates how every situation produces people that are unwilling to accept that situation. Claus Löser and Florian Merkel were two such people. Their band Die Gehirne and their many side-projects ensured that their hometown of Karl-Marx-Stadt, today's Chemnitz, could assert its role in the independent art world of the GDR. Inspirations included Frank Bretschneider from the experimental electronic band …
Amor
*300 copies limited edition* "When asked about the title of her new record, “Amor”, Limpe bluntly responded, “because it’s everything”. Being a Beatles fan from the very beginning, she’s well aware that “all you need is love”, but there’s more to her sentiment than a corny pun. On the one hand, she’s more than half a decade into her musical career, and describes the relationship towards her instruments in terms of an ongoing and deepening love affair. “Be it my piano, my viola or my percussion i…
Geogaddi
Tip! "Let's talk about what makes Geogaddi different. The first thing that comes to mind is the shift in mood from the previous Boards of Canada albums. While the band continues to traffic in childhood and nostalgia, the atmosphere on this album is a shade darker than on previous releases, and comparatively tense with a noticeable thread of paranoia. Boards of Canada have always had a disorienting cast to their music, in part because of their proclivity for the quivery modulation of their analo…

This vinyl gem captures the raw fusion of gritty blues and mind-bending psychedelic rock that defined an era of underground innovation.

Rest In Peace: The Final Concert
On Rest In Peace: The Final Concert, Bauhaus capture their 1983 Hammersmith Palais swan song across two discs, delivering gothic rock's founding quartet - Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins - at their theatrical, darkly charged peak before dissolving into legend.
Bangor Flying Circus
Bangor Flying Circus, the self-titled debut from the short-lived but influential Chicago progressive rock trio, is a striking document of late-1960s American psychedelia and ambitious musicianship. Formed in mid-1967 and active through 1969, Bangor Flying Circus brought together seasoned players from the Shadows of Knight and H.P. Lovecraft to create a sound that bridged blues-rooted rock, baroque psychedelia, and forward-looking progressive arrangements.
Recorded and released during a moment of…
