Apparition Paintings
Maybe these titles, torn as they are from cinema screens and the pages of literature and philosophy, give a feeling of romantic or sexual love or some dark pool of nostalgia but that’s not it, or it could be if you want it for yourself but not for me, not now; for me it’s about the teeming proliferation of complex events in the world, their vivid, hyperreal intensity as this human life steps closer to its end and their sense of fading, like a mist that thins out to leave not a clear bright day b…
Cyberflesh
1993 release ** "Following a successful European tour with Italian industrial musick giants Sigillum S, Phallus Dei expanded to a three piece unit with the addition of multi-instrumentalist Mk. E & drummer, multi-instrumentalist Richard van Kruysdijk. With the additional help of Joris Huijbregts (who had previously played with Richard v. K. in the band Lament), the band recorded their follow-up album Cyberflesh. The sound of the group had progressed greatly on Cyberflesh, forming a more matured,…
Between Scylla And Charybdis
For a number of years now, Splintered have played a sporadic selection of live shows in London, Krakow and Wroclaw. Due to the fact the original members found themselves both still getting on well together and being able to tap into the chemistry that was there until the group ground to a halt in 1997, the idea of recording new material was never far away. As such, between 2021 and 2024 Splintered began working on new material and managed to finish a few songs that are now presented on the first…
Tokokawa
Tip! *300 copies limited edition* “This collaborative release presents three immersive movements of avant-electronics full of unexpected tonal contrasts and shifts in intensity.

Tokokawa is the product of its two producers’ commitment to a dynamic, ever-renewing sense of aesthetics.” -Thomas Bey William Bailey
Composed from 2023 to 2024, these three pieces present a deep …

Haus Der Lüge
Einstürzende Neubauten pushes the industrial humor to new creative peaks; taking a genre of music only meant to offend and confuse people into even more ***ed up territories. The music is surprisingly tragic, strangely moving, and is an experience that can only be called 'artistic'.
Greatest Hits
After a 35-year career, it's about time for a first ever 'Greatest Hits' release from this influential German band. This is the regular version on 140-gram vinyl. A download code is included.
Zeichnungen Des Patienten O.T. (Drawings Of Patient O.T.)
*Reissue of the 1983 album, originally released on Some Bizzare and Rough Trade* "Einstürzende Neubauten's second album marks a radical progression in the band's sound as well as a revolutionary step forward in the realms of industrial and experimental music.
Bassist Marc Chung (ex-Abwärts) and electronics engineer Alexander Hacke (later a member of Crime And The City Solution) joined the band during this time, and singer Blixa Bargeld also became a full-time member of Nick Cave And The Bad See…

Chelsea Town Hall
A 1985 live performance from the Velvet Underground’s cult icon!
Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed
People believe that the magic of Muslimgauze works best with looong tracks. Think the same? Then "Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed" is exactly for you! 75 minutes of mellow eastern-style hypnotism. Consisting of only five parts, the album shows Bryn's ability to create lengthy and detailed compositions filled with Arabic percussion, droning keyboards, vocal samples and ethereal atmospheres. A strong rhythmic, yet melodic album, that should be in the collection of every Muslimgauze fan. Definitely one of Bry…
The World Of Cecil Taylor
Exact repro reissue of Cecil Taylor's first album for the Candid label, originally released in 1960. Featuring Cecil Taylor (piano), Buell Neidlinger (bass), Dennis Charles (drums), Archie Shepp (tenor saxophone).From the opening patterns of Denis Charles' drums on the title cut, the listener knows he/she is in for something special. One can only imagine what the reaction of the average jazz fan was in 1960 when this session was recorded. This is a wonderful document from early in Taylor's ca…
Monumental
1991 release ** "Combining rhythic rock strength with the unrestrainable consequence of free improvisation. In the course of playing, amazingly sharp contours arise. There is no expression for style that can describe this audacious mixture of precision and imagination. Music as a celebration of the moment with the undertone of euphoria, reflection, pure desire and wild anger. Mobile architecture, movable sounds, moving and hair-raisingly beautiful. Jon Rose: Cello, Violin, Keyboards - Peter Holl…
Hut Ab
"Here, after Schindler+Richter and Schindler/Holzbauer/Lillmeyer, multi-reed player and flautist Udo Schindler meets an old companion from the 90s. Hubert Bergmann, a Fernando Pessoa-adoring and Tai Chi & Qi Gong-inspired jack-of-all-trades from Überlingen on Lake Constance, has already played piano in Schindler Interferenz.3 and with Trio BGS. Now a master craftsman in his own workshop for improvised and new music and, as such, also a duo partner with guitarist Mary Halvorson, Bergmann proves h…
Watra
*2025 stock* Heard in the Carpathians, "Watra" is a word of Wallachian origin which refers to a large bonefire with a wooden construction set up. Burned and accompanied by singing and recalling the old times, it symbolizes the return to the roots and serves the purpose of glorifying the ancestors. Watra is also what we ourselves associate with inspiring meetings bustling with stories of tradition, travel and music from around the world, when, by the fire, different musical worlds of jazz and fol…

The Neuromancers. Music Inspired by William Gibson's Universe
*200 copies limited edition.* The soundtrack of a future in flux. As the father of cyberpunk, William Gibson imagined a world where technology and society collide, blurring the boundaries between human and machine, individual and system. His novels, particularly Neuromancer, painted a dystopian future where sprawling megacities pulse with neon, corporations rule from the shadows, and cyberspace serves as both playground and battlefield. In his vision, technology is a tool of empowerment and cont…

Universal Ensemble Berlin
1990 release ** "The 'Gruppe Neue Musik Berlin' (Berlin New Music Group) represents an interesting aspect of Berlin's recent musical history: unlike comparable ensembles in other German cities, it is not, and has never been, committed to a unified style or to any one school. Although an organised, creative group, improvisation remains a permanent element. The cooperative project's aim is to facilitate performances outside the avant-garde music establishment, while preserving a high standard of i…
12²
1998 release ** "Wendy Mae Chambers (b 1953) is known for the scope and originality of her works, typified by large and unusual instrumental combinations. In Chambers’s own words, Twelve² is a voodoo tone poem in eleven movements for twelve percussionists. Each movement is about 4 minutes in length. The last movement is 4'33" of lots of sound (in tribute to John Cage's 4'33" of silence). Voodoo drumming [calls] forth Cage’s spirit and the bells, chimes, and gongs [celebrate] ... celestial qualit…
