Parallel to this, he was cofounder of the label Ortega y Cassette (1981) and made during 10 years the program Los Silencios de la Radio in Radio Pica.

Cavitation
2005 release ** "The interaction between computer science technology and freeform musical creative process becomes a central point in this international collaboration of three artists from Belarus and USA. The abstract soundscapes are obscured by intricate structures, acoustic phenomena and electronic effects, it’s going to infinity and never repeat itself. The finest harmony of soundfield is credited to the principles of intuitive simulation, realised through the system of computer-aided instru…
Transparent Skin
2011 release ** "Canadian drummer André Michel Arraiz-Rivas is a versatile guy, one who you find grinding out prog with Quasiviri and post-folk ghosts with Ronin, just to name a few. Then he happens to be seized by the urge for jazz, and here he is, whipping together a made in Italy quartet, calling it Mondongo – like a traditional hypercaloric South American soup – and releasing an album that will make your ears prick up. Transparent Skin – this is the title – is eight tracks plus one (ghost) i…
Wealth
2006 release ** "This is the first solo album of Norwegian composer and musician Jørgen Knudsen who was a founding member of highly acclaimed duo Information. This duo had an unique combination of sound and creative methods as well as their interest in connecting music with visuals, texts, dances etc. Information released a few fantastic albums on labels such as Beatservice and Rune Grammofon. Jørgen had been working on his first solo album during last few years, recording and collecting the aud…
Komu Mam To Powiedzieć?
2006 release ** "The Krakow band Bordo, celebrating their tenth anniversary, has given us the album 'Komu mam to pomaga?'. Post-rock, psychedelic, sometimes dark - this is the music of the Bordo group. The term space-rock fits it perfectly. When recording the album 'Komu mam to pomaga?', the artists chose twelve songs from the fifty prepared ones, which gave an hour of material. The crazy music is accompanied by equally psychedelic lyrics, or rather phrases repeated over and over again, such as …
../Requiem
2004 release ** "Andrea Resch was one of the two members of the legendary Mynox Layh. "Requiem" is a genuinely unusual, sinister work of morbid atmospheres... disorienting as though waking from a nightmare. Immense, striding, sumptuous string arrangements create a majestic and inspiring atmosphere. A highly recommended "opera" in vein of In The Nursery and old Laibach. There are no other words which could possibly describe the endless feeling of the album. This remastered edition features four b…
Howling Silence
2008 release ** Limited edition of 300 hand numbered copies.
The Haunting Triptych
2010 release ** "Truly intriguing is the fusion of intent between Pietro Riparbelli (K11, Radical Matters) and Philippe Petit (Bip_HOp, Strings of Consciousness) who develop three pieces of menacing and dense dark ambient that bring to mind the best releases by Lustmord and Nurse With Wound. As mentioned, "The Haunting Triptych" is divided into three parts and each of them appears as a work plan interlocked with the others but arranged on a different angle. "Residual Spookiness" has the merit of…
Chroma
2007 release ** "Split over seven tracks 'chroma' is a beautiful swarming forty five-minute suite of pieces. A warm, almost angelic hue of sound radiates from 'chroma' giving it a pure, optimistic feeling that only fades with the last dying notes. Weightless and saturated in it's waves of sound, all you have to do is listen.."

'I'm sure we're gonna make it' is the first time English edition of the 1996 book 'Het gejuich was massaal', detailing punk in the Netherlands from 1976 to 1982 from Jeroen Vedder and Jerry Goossens. It is also the first time, as far as I know, that there is an English language book on the subject. There is a foreword by Richard Forster, and Hubert van Hoof updated his 1996 intro to a 2021 version. This book is 184 pages, with full-colour photos, record covers, a fanzine section, and all of this…

The Music of Butterfly
More than two decades since he blew minds with a suite of brilliant releases on Warp, Vincent Gallo returns to the world of music at long last in Butterfly, his duo with Harper Simon, with the project’s full-length debut, “The Music of Butterfly”. A gesture of gentle, DIY / bedroom left-field pop, falling within the rough territory for which Gallo became renowned during the late '90s and early 2000s, while interweaving fascinating flirtations with minimalism and experimentalism, it’s a truly ca…
I Can't Promise
Recorded between August 24, 1983 and September 9, 1984.
Ethnic Expressions
Tip! Groovy, spiritual, and oh so, rare, this live album by drummer Roy Brooks is one of the best to ever come out of the spiritual jazz scene. With a career spanning over 50 years and collaborations with artists like Horace Silver, Stanley Turrentine, Yusef Lateef, and Charles Mingus, Roy Brooks was a foundation and leading force of the jazz scene throughout his entire storied life. As one of the most talented drummers of any generation, Brooks would lead his own group, the Artistic Truth, and …

A Companion As Glamorous As Sleeping On Wheels
2003 release ** "Not only did Julian Bradley (of Vibracathedral Orchestra) adopt the hilariously cumbersome moniker A Companion as Glamorous as Sleeping on Wheels to use in place of (and/or in addition to?) his own name, he also released this album under his own name, with ACAGASOW as it's title. Lots of shorter pieces here, recorded between 1997 and 2000, released as a CD by the Belgian label Veglia."
The Blue Horse
2025 stock ** Sholto Dobie is an artist and performer born in Edinburgh and living in London. His solo output is marked by live performances that are characteristically delicate, evocative, and absurd. He uses his own instruments, crudely assembled from materials such as reeds, whistles, bin bags, fans, and air compressors, alongside loose performative structures, to respond to places and situations. He plays in Al Fresco (with Lia Mazzari and Tom White) and regularly collaborates with Ben Pritc…
Delog
2008 release ** "With the album "Delog" Jaroslaw Wierny continues his journey within the mysteries of tantric Tibetan Buddhism. Conceptually the album looks at the near death experience, where the soul is free to visit other mysterious realms, looking beyond the constraints and boundaries of our own world and perhaps offering an opportunity to find quick enlightenment. Musically this sits somewhere in the borderland between dark ambient and more droney lengthy ambient à la Oöphoi. The music has …
Clear Light
2025 stock ** "The band is from Los Angeles, it turns out -- a promising sign considering the vibrant Californian scene of the time. Then, upon first listen, the first fuzzed-out rocker sends the listener's soul into a state of simmering excitement; the further one explores this piece of morning maniac music the more the colorful aspects of the band's creativity enchant. Dark -- or at least gruff -- rock tunes with heavy fuzz guitar alternate with melodic tunes that feature lush, clean guitar ha…
Filth Pharmacy
2004 release ** All music recorded at "Garaget", Solna, Sweden. Andreas Axelsson - percussion, drum machines, CD player; Herman Muntzing - flexichord, sampler; Martin Kuchen - soprano and baritone saxophone, found objects.
