Dream Walker
About 20 years ago, Carlos Giffoni quickly made a name for himself both as a noise guitarist and a laptop noisician upon arriving in New York (via Florida and Venezuela). His expertly curated annual No Fun Festival, as well as his No Fun label, further solidified him as a key figure in the international noise scene. The festival’s success proved the formula for experimental and improvised music fests could work with the noise underground as well, but it also capitalized on the faster rate of con…

I is a snapshot of 1970s and 80s voice and soundworks by a special selection of practitioners, including the French sound poet Bernard Heidsieck, sound artist Terry Fox, legend Henri Chopin, bp Nichol (of Four Horsemen/Canadada fame) Peter Finch/ Bob Cobbing, Antonio Aragão and the phonetic poetry pioneed Ilse Garnier.

Sulphuric Sonics
Huge Tip! 200 copies. Sulphuric Sonics is Rudolf Eb.er’s new studio album. "The girl's voice on this one was recorded in the backyard of a shinto shrine in the outskirts of Tokyo. I didn't touch those recordings for over ten years. I was too spooked. The girl was maybe 12 to 15 years old and seemingly possessed. It couldn't have been her voice. Her parents (who probably took her to the shrine in hope for relief) did shield her from onlookers. Even my recording equipment failed. I restored some v…
Robbed
2007 release ** "This new Goem release is a solo work by Roel Meelkop (this time without Frans de Waard and Peter Duimelinks). The source material is an anonymous CD, whose samples are used for these eight tracks. The result is a combination of rhythmic patterns with minimalistic passages, strange loops, repetitive elements. Therefore, an interesting episode into Goem’s production, quite different from early releases of the trio, maybe preluding an evolution in its music."
Ogura Plays Stockhausen
This 2 CD album features Japanese pianist Miharu Ogura’s jaw-dropping rendition of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Klavierstücke I–XI, for solopiano, recorded live at Monopiano festival 2021. Includes a 20 page booklet with
an essay by Robin Maconie, former Stockhausen pupil and author of the book “Other Planets: The Complete Works of Karlheinz Stockhausen 1950–2007”.
Thinking Of Khlebnikov
2025 stock ** "Russian-born percussionist Vladimir Tarasov is sort of the “old man” of jazz in Lithuania – he’s called Vilnius home since 1968, and achieved international renown as an improviser with the Ganelin Trio (1971-1986). In addition to work as a sound installation artist and solo percussionist, he has also worked with American composers like Anthony Braxton and drummer Andrew Cyrille. Thinking of Khlebnikov, a dedication to Russian Futurist poet Velimir Khlebnikov, is Tarasov’s first di…
Meshes
2009 release ** "Two improvisations-one live, one without audience-by an Anglo-French trio of new voices from trombonist Forge, electronics artists Julian and cellist Papapostolou. The music is quiet and spacious....there is a wonderful sense of slowness to the music that suggests each sound, every contribution comes only after careful consideration."
Space And Place
2000 release ** Limited edition of 500 hand numbered copies. Packaged in mini-LP sleeve. "In all six tracks of this CD, Murayama uses a cymbal, a snare drum and small objects (as well as his voice on track 6). Four of the pieces (2-5), recorded in Tokyo, were composed by Murayama based on collaborations with Soundworm (Shoji). Several clusters of two or three mikes were deployed in different areas of the studio, with one of the mikes of one cluster placed outdoors. (In addition, there were two c…

Thought, Action, Reaction, Interaction
2025 Stock. Taking a short sabbatical from their journey into the spiritual stratosphere and beyond, Work Money Death landed on terra firma just long enough to record a follow up to the critically acclaimed “The Space In Which The Uncontrollable Unknown Resides Can Be The Place From Which Creation Arises”. The new album “Thought, Action, Reaction, Interaction” explores many of the meditative motifs that mould this unique group in their quest for the perfect sound and space. Those who are familia…
Brasileira
Maria Rita is a musical pioneer that was ahead of her time. On first hearing her song, 'Cântico Brasileiro No.3 (Kamaiurá)’, we thought it sounded like a contemporary remix that an artist such as Carl Craig could have produced. In fact, it came out in 1988 and was taken from Maria's 'Brasileira' album, released on the Brazilian, independent Acorde imprint. The song would go on to gain cult status with its inclusion on John Gomez's superb 'Outro Tempo' compilation, released on the Music From Memo…
Remscéla
Milkweed’s new album draws from ‘The Táin’ Irish epic, mixing “Slacker Trad” with global sounds. Critically acclaimed, their music merges Appalachian folk, hauntology, and experimentation.
Ghost Notes: Esoteric Instrumentals For Ethereal Beings
Olsen has created a monster - channeling Joe Meek, Goblin, and Broadcast in this cursed disc of groovy fugues. Traffik Island may be alive and well in these tracks, delivering premium melodies with ease, but the undead certainly had their say. Mixing terrifyingly sick beats with warped organs, sinister synths and spooky found sounds, this is the horror movie soundtrack we deserve. An instant halloween classic. - Frank Maston
Canyon Blood
Darkly romantic and steeped in candlelit dread, Canyon of Blood is the new full-length album from The Garden Gate. Built around brooding string arrangements, vintage synthesizers, and harpsichord-toned textures, the record conjures a lush, haunted landscape, part western mirage, part baroque hallucination. Laced with 60s occult psych influences and underpinned by dusty drum machines, Canyon of Blood feels like Morricone scoring a fever dream rather than a duel. It’s music that floats somewhere b…
So Einfach Ist Das
These recordings are indeed a minor sensation! It's hard to imagine that, apart from the well-known recordings in the GDR, something "different and deeper" existed in the late 1960s alongside appealing soul and jazz bands. Modern and progressive fuzzy and funky jazz rock. Really? But yes, "So einfach war das wohl / it was probably that simple" back then. The highly talented pianist Ulrich Gumpert played and composed in one of the country's most renowned ensembles, the Klaus Lenz Orchestra, since…
