Exta
Finally restocked! "Butcher’s sax ranges from soft, whispery purrs to teeth-chatteringly spiteful blasts. Lehn’s analogue synth leaps in a moment from burbling tones to fiercely sizzling abstraction, and Tilbury slips from his familiar melodic interludes and fragmented arpeggios to crashing, seismic attacks on the inside of the piano. What sets this album head and shoulders above similar offerings is the understanding between the trio. It’s not just the way all three move together as one from su…

Antarctica
RESTOCKED, very last copies...Awesome new arrival, two side-long excursions into monolithic drone-rock in Tony Conrad + Faust vein. David Maranha’s recordings stretch back over 20 years with the Portuguese avant trio Osso Exótico, as well as collaborations with Z’ev and Minit. A followup to Marches Of The New World (2007), Antarctica is made up of two side-long excursions into monolithic drone-rock. In the vein of Tony Conrad & Faust, “Venus In Furs,” La Monte Young and Terry Riley, Maranh…
America
Originally released in 1971, this is one of the artistic high points of his career. And yet, for nearly 30 years it was not heard in its entirety, as what was originally intended as a double album was pared down to a single LP. Now, thanks to 4 Men With Beards, the complete double album is available on vinyl for the first time
Faking Gold And Murder
Faking Gold and Murder is the third Earth-shattering full-length by Vincent De Roguin (Shora), Stephen O'Malley (Sunn0))), KTL) and Daniel O'Sullivan (Guapo). This time, the core trio is joined by percussionists Nicolas Field and Alex Babel, as well as renowned guitarist Alexander Tucker and the inimitable David Tibet. AEthenor's heaviest outing yes is driven by a weighty low-end and the full fury of Babel and Field's free-wheeling drums. The band's electronics, guitar, Rhodes, and organ ride wa…
An Imaginary Country
Double LP version: An Imaginary Country continues from the trajectory of his last album, the critically acclaimed Harmony in Ultraviolet, while also showing a few new tricks. Tim has incorporated more pulses into this work and also works with a sound palette including overdriven mellotron strings and synthesizer. At times this album is less overtly aggressive than previous works, but the notion that this is pastoral work would be dead wrong as there are plenty of the agitated crescendos that he …
Resonating Upon Harmonic Ground
Justin Meyers from Minneapolis offer a beautiful track of musique concrete and analog synth. Exploring the interaction between field recordings and simple sine waves, the result is a perfectly balanced suite, where the single elements lose their origins in favour of composition. Edition of 150
Garden Fete
a four song 12 inch 45 on 180 gram vinyl, garden fete presents alternative mixes of two original songs from rodney graham's cd release never tell a pal a hard luck story (you'll only get a hard luck story in return) 'she failed to see the point', and 'sinkin' in the west' and two covers: the everley brothers' 'take a message to mary' and the kinks ' i'm on an island'. the latter is an uptempo version of the song which forms the soundtrack of graham's sculptural installation in the petuel park, m…
Tokei Nikki
Japanese turntable project probably best known for their work with Otomo Yoshihide and Hijokaidan, in their final LP, 2 compositions and 99 locked gooves. Side 1 = two elegant contemporary avant garde compositions -- kinda reminds me of AMM if they were DJs. Side 2 = 99 lock grooves."the debut lp, simultaneously the last issued recording by the duo of takahiro yamamoto & katsura mouri’s busratch, a decade-long-running & quite prolific turntable duo with a series high-profile collaboratio…
Accidental guitars
restocked, last copies - geoff mullen presents a new side of his ever-changing and open language, dealing here with his rawest material to date, and in many ways finding himself in a homecoming to the guitar. on Ôaccidental guitars' geoff expands his instrumental language with his unique variety of invented, accident-prone technique. re-contextualized live performances are filtered through an intuitive sense of form and pretexts, leaving us with an intense, jarring, pointed, and textural c…
Forma
Sold out at source FORMA (Mark Dwinell, Sophie Lam, & George Bennett) emerged on the NYC minimal synth scene in 2010 with a singular vision of cosmic Krautrock for a new age. On their eponymous debut LP, the Brooklyn-based electronics trio merges the melodic flow and primitive rhythms of their motorik predecessors with the hypnotic drones of Minimalism, creating an intricate work both addicting and rewarding with repeat listens. Like many of the LP's eleven tracks, the churning and relentl…
... I Listen To The Wind That Obliterates My Traces
restocked! Artist Steve Roden combines found old pictures, recordings and text to create his new CD "… and I listen to the wind" that feels like something altogether different, though, more like a silent movie, a collection crafted from crumbs of the past. Tucked within the simple, minimally designed book's front and back covers is the music, which Roden organized into a two-volume mix of similarly excavated documents culled from flea market 78 rpm discs.With no biographical information on …
Second Offender
P1/E was formed in Berlin 1979. The original band members were Michael Schäumer, Michael Voigt (Monogam Rec.), Michael Hirsch (Exkurs) and Ute Droste. in the rehearsal cellar the band discovered a fourteen year old drummer, Alexander Hacke, who later came to fame with Einstürzende Neubauten. Before the recording of the legendary 7inch "49 sec romance" Voigt left the band and Thomas Voburka (Weltklang) who worked with Schäumer in the famous Exil restaurant in Kreuzberg, joined as a guest singer. …
La memoire des Sons
Features 3 works: "Capture Éphémère" (1967); "Sons-jeu" (1987); "La Mémoire des Sons" (2001). "Excepting some rare mixed pieces, Bernard Paremegiani's works as a whole take the form of music for 'fixedsounds', coming within the scope of the immense repertoire of electro-acoustic music. From his training in the art of mime and his experience as a sound engineer, Parmegiani has retained a taste for a hand-to-hand approach (sound/embodiment, as we could be tempted to say) with various sound mate-ri…
the cut
RESTOCKED...you'll have to run thru a intense long brown tunnel before arriving at the best butcher in town! he'll cut your meat down to pure droned filet americain or preparé from the chef! bears and bowie lookalikes are huge fans, as this bird butcher sliced many famous animals since a young age. he grew from playing cards in the bar with the big nuts via pinching fags in the parc to a full blown fine line worker!spin him around and you get a conceptual artpiece, back to the old skool game …
Phantom Payn Daze
While in the widely neglected 39 Clocks, he made records that never sold and played gigs that few ever saw, Juergen Gleue has arguably been the most important exponent of electrified German sound since the late 1970s. Phantom Payn Daze was made in the mid to late 90s and has never been released. It's his final LP and is overflowing with all the elements that romanticized, loner / stoner music claims, an encoded expression of highly private feelings, an ambiguous, emotional quotient, and a dark…
Catalyse
The origins of Ame Son go back to the mid-sixties, when Bernard Lavialle (guitar), Bernard Stisi (guitar, vocals), Patrick Fontaine (bass) and Marc Blanc (drums) formed Les Primitivs circa 1965. They took the Parisian stages with a Yardbirds/Pretty Things inspired wild R&B set, and they kept active until Stisi left in 1967. At that point they changed their name to Expression, and with a more experimental approach they took their newly find free rock sound a la Soft Machine to night clubs …
Natives Are Restless
Recorded in 2005/2006 in Portugal and Europe... and they like to dance to the sound of tribal music!
The Plain Truth
Originally released by Broken Flag in 1983, this LP reflects the more ambient & spacey side of M.B.'s work as opposed to some of the more "noisy" earlier works. Along with Armaghedon, one of his most interesting works. Hand signed copies, limited stock
