Max Brown, Pt. 1
Tortoise mainman Jeff Parker throws down the lissom, balmy jazz-fusion of ‘Max Brown’, the final track of his ‘Suite For Max Brown’ album as a tease for the promising full LP “I’m always looking for ways to be surprised,” says composer and multi-instrumentalist Jeff Parker as he explains the process, and the thinking, behind his new album, Suite for Max Brown, released via a new partnership between the Chicago–based label International Anthem and Nonesuch Records. “If I sit down at the piano or…
Neue Welt / Lenity
After the release of his debut album in June 2015, Le Millipede is back with a 7" single with "Neue Welt" and "Lenity".
The newcomer to the A-Z of instruments of Le Millipede is the clarinet.
Together with Le Millipede's characteristic percussion, it sets the
basic structure of "Neue Welt". Two melodies of piano and bass trumpet
join in to a euphoric, dreamy tune, only to be shaken up profoundly - or
should we say challenged? - by the second debuting instrument, a
ukulele.
Lenity is melanch…
El Sonido de Joan Lluis Moraleda (7 E.P.)
**450 copies numbered and signed. Includes a diptych (4 pages) and two postcards.** The EP you have in your hands belongs to the time that the Catalan composer Joan Lluís Moraleda spent in Estudios Carbonell in the mid 70s, with amazing songs made of magic string arrangements, pedal fuzz and awesome synthesizers and moog. You can feel the influence of disco music and even the Spaghetti western soundtracks.
Joan Lluís Moraleda was born in Santa Maria de Palautordera (Barcelona) in 1943. At 12,…
You Are Tired
**300 copies** You Are Tired features amazing finger-pick style utilising both a calm and destructive mood, the tracks title producing imagery whilst you are listening and to a degree the sounds send you back to a time. similarly to other such guitar luminaries within the same genre such as John Fahey, Sandy Bull, Robbie Basho to name a few. Rob is an extension of their ideas, using his guitar to express meaning and emotion and he does it very elegantly on the opening track. Nightmare Study is a…
Percussion Loops
"On this record, Mads Emil Nielsen divvies up two sides of 7” with a healthy ratio of two to two drum loops, each offering a smattering of ricocheting, crackling and structureless percussion, occasionally abetted with a bit of the ol’ synth additive.As far as comparative pointers go, what comes to mind first is Nicolas Jaar’s construction site ambient record ‘Pomegranates’, which used drums to punctuate long, meandering trails of drone or textural excess. Here, though, Nielsen’s compositions sta…

Awesome artsy edition with a spectacular pop up cover, 333 copies only, handnumbered. Olyvetty is formed by claudio rocchetti (3/4hadbeeneliminated and many many more) and riccardo benassi (visual artist and italian experimental underground agitator).the olyvetty-project was born in berlin in 2006, it immediately results as a melting of minimal techno drifts and power-noise fury. they performed in many european festivals like sonambiente, flora and netmage. after their first release 'as all-enco…
Synapse / Oxytocin
Synapse is the first single off (and a sort of appendix before the fact to) Autorhythm's project Songs For The Nervous System that culminates in an album later this spring. It has a driving and asymmetric “Can meets John Bender”-like quality paired with a warm soundscape reminiscent of Cluster's Zuckerseit. The ambient B side Oxytocin features a recording of a Soviet era Ocean 209 transistor radio that adds to the ethereal other worldly dimension of this beautifully languid neo-Kosmische gem. Ex…
Whirly Bird
This is the first re-issue of the first Silver Apples 7“ vinyl single. Originally released in 1968 on Kapp Records. Re-mastered and fully authorized by the band and the record label. The Silver Apples were one of the most influential electronic music groups of all times."Silver Apples are THE electronic group of all time… Silver Apples are to electronic music what Thomas Edison is to Facebook." (Trebuchet Magazine)"Silver Apples… a beautiful and mysterious artifact." (New York Times)
Earlier / Later (Unreleased Projects Anthology 74-89)
Selected from over seven hours of archive recordings, the majority of which has never before been available, Earlier/Later - Unreleased Projects Anthology 74/89 documents a fifteen-year period of private research and personal development by Richard H. Kirk. Committed to cassette and then forgotten, they have been transferred onto CD with a minimum postproduction. Throughout the two CD release is evidence of Kirk reinventing himself through the sparse dynamics of dance music and laying down the g…

Lap dance / Table solos
On December 14th, 2011 - Mats Gustafsson played an amazing solo concert at our table at Bar Brooklyn in Stockholm. He was supposed to play a "real" concert but bastards didn't care much for that so he ended up playing at the head of our table. Someone spilled a full beer over his merch that was on that table, and we were all overly excited, of course. Jean-Louis Huhta recorded it on his Zoom, and this is an excellent document of today's leading free jazz magus. Limited to 200 copies. Tran…
Fog Frog
A collaborative 7” featuring the talents of author, musician and columnist Max Goldt reconstituted by self confessed dadaist Felix Kubin and beat-box master Mark Boombastik. Side-A sees Kubin and Boombastic applying a new skin to Goldt's hotel room reading of 'Fog Frog'. In this case, a break-beat techno/mid '90s drum 'n' bass skin that most definitely features the sound of radiators being hit with sticks. Flip it and we are taken back to 1983 for a re-run of Goldt's 'post-feminist pre-ejaculati…

More Impossible Futures
It seems that Bocian Records only releases 7"s these days and that they have a soft spot for improvised music from down under. Following Sean Baxter's 7" from a month ago, here is Robin Fox, an improviser from the world of electronic music, playing laptop and on one side entirely EMS VCS3. Two pieces that sound hardly improvised, but more composed. The 'More Impossible Futures' on the a-side is a more introspective piece of various layers of electronics sounds, which are put together in a rather…
Invisible Angle / Grim Trigger
France Has The Bomb’s new 7″ is now out on Horizontal Action, along with a new Nobunny 7″ and the new Nice Face, which I covered last week. For this entry, I was about to cover the new Nobunny as well to complete the new trio of HoZacs but fuck it, I bet copies of that will be sold regardless. Remember a couple of years back when it seemed like every other band had a RIYL that included Gang of Four? Thing is, 5% of that illustrious group actually sounded like GO4. The other 95%? You can thank la…
Lettre À Monsieur Le Chef De Gare De La Tour De Carol / Un Mauvais Champignon / La Nausée (extrait)
Cougouyou Music present a limited 7" single Brigitte Fontaine's masterpiece "Lettre À Monsieur Le Chef De Gare De La Tour De Carol", originally released on her legendary album Comme À La Radio in 1969. Fontaine is not an artist from Perpignan/Catalonia, but this beautiful track about the station master of the train station Latour-de-Carol, 1200 meters high in the Pyrenees, is emblematic for this region in the South of France. Nothing is known about concrete music composer monsieuRdurand. Based i…
Solaia (LP)
* 300 copies, comes with an extensive booklet * Limpe Fuchs’ first solo record came about by accident. Initially, Christoph Heemann invited the famous Anima duo to do a studio record in his home-town Aachen, but Paul Fuchs decided not to join in, so Limpe went on her own – and the recording sessions taking place in late 1986 and early 1987 turned out to become “via”, Limpe’s first solo-record and the (visible) starting point of her ongoing exceptional career as an internationally performing, ind…
Ache
The Ache album was originally released in 1982 on JG Thirlwell’s Self Immolation label, whilst he was resident in London. It was recorded at Lavender Sound Studio in South London and engineered by Harlan Cockburn. On its release it was acclaimed by the music press, John Peel and even cited by Leonard Cohen on more than one occasion. Over the years the album has become a highly sought-after collectors item.
Ein schwärzeres Schwarz
The two tracks featured here are a further development from the Die letzte Musik vor dem Krieg 7" (DS70) using the new work with piano sounds and it's one of the best works of Organum yet in our opinion. Edition of 500.
