Birth of anolder, much more ugly Christ
'This shit is dark and I'm not talking about some fucking 'I sleep during the day' dark... I'm not talking some 'Cannibal Corpse shit - I'm a fucking mutilator' dark... And I'm not talking 'I'm a noise dude into black metal' dark I'm talking total fucking end of the world... shit... like... everyone is going to die and it's gonna be fucking terrible. Recorded in 2009 by sisters Roxann and Rachal Spikula while in a hospital doing some fucked up health study where all they could drink was …
Undercurrent
California Gothic set to the tidal rhythms of the Pacific and tuned into the metabolic pathways of the northwest coast. Porras (Barn Owl) has scripted a love poem to the mist, a prayer cast in ghostly reflected guitar and deep pools of distortion. The ominous opening of 'Gray Dunes' is a dense and impenetrable murk, a fear that eventually succumbs to distortion but then gives way to a endless open space of delay in its second half. Its trajectory is symbolic of the record as a whole, with many o…
Peaceful messages
RESTOCKED, last copies - Gorgeous new lp with fold out cover and inner sleeve... "welcome to the temple, where you'd see the sun and the moon... experience the eternal balance between day and night, good and evil."
Toads Tools Amongst The Tombstones
Green vinyl with grey. Pengo is: John Schoen, Jason Finkbeiner, R. Nuuja. Pengo comes from Rochester, NY and are simply a dark-bright beacon of madness in the subterranean swamp of psychedelic junk collectors. They're kind of elusive, having issued only an LP prior to this release (it had been a year since we're working on this album) + a few CD-Rs and tapes. Got affiliations with Coffee & the Doyle EAE... wild stuff/weird vibes!
Fiteiras Suadas
Clear azul vinyl, artwork by Joana Da Conceicao. For sure one of the weirdest and most unique records on Qbico, thanks to this young couple from Porto; hard to explain, no easy listening... but once you get attuned, it grows on you... deeply. Some vague similarities with the Astral Social Club LP.
the Religious Experience
VERY LAST COPIES AROUND Stasis and stability are nowhere to be found here. Instead, an ever-changing dialogue between structure and chaos shifts from one performer to the next, never resting long before launching again into shuddering flight. Accoustic instruments and vocals form a familiar reference point, but studio treatments take the music into psychedelic and cinematic realms. In their words, “Improvisation is a way to experiment without thinking. When our improvisations ‘work’, the music j…
Automaticism
Sympathy Nervous is the project of Japanese artist Yosihumi Niinuma. Influenced by both classical and Krautrock, he began recording in 1979, and released several records on the highly coveted Vanity label. He continued to record and self-release much of his work throughout the 80s and 90s. His sound is intelligent and probably the most unique minimal synth to come out of Japan. Exploring dystopian themes, his music is well balanced and beautifully recorded.Automaticism features songs Yosihumi Ni…
Fathom
Douglas Quin's Fathom brings together four extended underwater soundscapes-two each from the Arctic and Antarctic. The recordings have been gathered over a period of 15 years, capturing an extraordinary palette of sonic voices, events, spaces, and textures. To the human ear, these soundscapes are haunting and otherworldly; yet they are very much of this world-out of earreach. The tracks are minimally edited and are his first field recordings to be archived in vinyl. Included with the rele…

Mag Magazin 6
Obscure early tape, very thought to find nowadays: this tape is rich with texture and dynamics that make for a stunning listen, its details are intricate resonation and transformations of the sound sculptures in the environment

The Cosmological Eye Trilogy
They call their home studio the Space Room; they name their pieces after galaxies and nebulas; and their cat appears to be an alien. Please act surprised when you learn that this duo from Torino, Italy, plays space music -- not your ordinary brand, though: experimental space music. Maurizio Opalio and Roberto Opalio are exploring the cosmos through epic improvised journeys involving astral percussion, electric astral guitar drones, and space toys. Their territory is somewhere past the fringes of…
Piano Music
JUST ARRIVED, awesome and low priced essential triple CD set with the piano compositions by John Cage (1912–92) regarded as one of the most influential and controversial composers of the 20th century. It is not only his music that this reputation is based on – his ideas were revolutionary, and he cast doubt on the supremacy of European art and music, when it was unchallenged and such views were considered heretic. Cage rejected the status held by harmony, instrumentation and even the devel…
Der Meister und Margarita
It is in itself a brilliant achievement to transform this complex religious-philosophical satirical novel from 1930s Moscow into a spellbinding opera. And each setting is imbued with its very special local color, whether it's Satan's ball, the asylum, the evil apartment, or the Place of the Skull: "Höller underpins, surrounds, conveys or impedes the sung and spoken parts by a dramatic theater music of powerful images and driving force, making use of the orchestral range of sounds both moderately…

Okkulte Stimmen - Mediale Musik: Recordings Of Unseen Intelligen
This 3cd boxset is a fantastical document of parapsychological research throughout the 20th Century, with recordings of purported demonic possession, glossolalia, precognition, poltergeists, and the already well documented Electric Voice Phenomenon. The latter had been the subject of research by noted parapsychologists Raymond Cass and Freidrich Jurgensen, whose work was collected on several cds released on the Touch label, one of which was the AQ perennial favorite The Ghost Orchid. The first d…
I speak through a hole in my head...
the series of texts was originally spoken improvisationally into a micro cassette recorder while driving to and from my studio in 1988. nothing was written down or planned before i pressed 'record'. the entire work is printed here. unedited and in the order spoken. the periods mark the ending of each recorded segment. some of the pieces are responses to things seen and some are about speaking, and the sounds of words. i would suggest not only a mental reading, but a verbal one as well.the drawin…
