Prior to Chaleur Humaine, Danielle an…

Growing up on his family farm, he became a young acolyte of the British exports hitting not-so-distan…
Tutti Quanti Sognano Porno (Compiuti I Dieci Anni)
2018 release ** "Le Cose Bianche is the power-electronics project founded by Giovanni Mori in 2007 dedicated, in the best tradition of early industrial, to abrasive and dissonant sounds. The themes addressed by Le Cose Bianche are scabrous and often speak of pornography, which is given a very decadent and nihilistic interpretation in which the impulses of eros and thanathos coexist in a sort of “vision” not so distant from that of the Marquis De Sade. L.C.B.’s discography is endless and also inc…

They were realized all around the world between 1982 and 2012 - until 1991 mostly together with Johan Goedhart -, each installation made specifically for the site where it was displayed.Un…

Kasveille Ja Elaimille
*2025 much needed repress!!* What is music about? It can be about anything, I guess, but that’s not what we are talking about. That’s not why we are here. What makes the difference is if music, any music, is worth it. Then it’s something else. Like this piece, Juho Toivonen’s solo album. What I suggest as a simile to music on this vinyl, is the experience of sauna. Savusauna (smoke sauna) to be exact. The thing about savusauna is that because of the method of heating, the room gets really hot, a…
Tuokioita
300 copies limited edition "On this LP you hear two kanteles built by the Master Luthier Rauno Nieminen. One of them is a copy of a historical instrument built by the folk poet Ontrei Malinen in 1833. It is carved from single piece of pine, and it has five bronze strings. The other one is carved from a single piece of spruce. Its lowest seven strings are bronze, and highest three strings are English iron. On most tracks the two kanteles are played simultaneously. For me, playing these instrument…

Wales had played backing artists such as Ronnie Hawkins, Lonnie Mack, James Brown or The Four Tops as a session musician before becoming a member of psychedelic blues combo AB Shky, who moved…
