Crépuscule I & II
*100 copies limited release* In the early days of Mego prior to it’s transformation into Editions Mego a most unexpected release appeared amongst the radical roster. Out of all the twisted hard drive activity from Pita, General Magic, Farmers Manual etc appeared a very different kind of release. One made from a computer, but one with a softer atmosphere, cloud-like in sonic shape and even containing discernible melodies (!). This was the debut release from Japanese artist Tujiko Noriko which not…

Bosporus Bridges - A Wide Selection Of Turkish Jazz And Funk 196
Pioneering, magisterial compilation, which turned many of us here onto Mustafa Ozkent, Fikret Kizilok, Erkin Koray, Temiz and co, a decade ago. Still dazzling, fresh, essential.
Kasveille Ja Elaimille
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, and the smell of smoke is all …

Burroughs and his executor James Grauerholz to starting the daunting task to compile the experimental sounds works of Burroughs, which, up until that point, had never been heard.
During those visits, Burroughs would play back hi…

What emerges from this encounter is a kind of European-style free music, with open structures, sometimes close to radical contemporary improvisation. The acoustic sounds of percussion and wind instruments…

Le passe' du Futur est toujours present
Jean-Noël Cognard is a big initiator of projects and collaborations both in the studio and on the stage. With his label, Bloc Thyristors, he documents these musical sparks. One recalls the great epoch of Soixante Étages, which, at the instigation of Dominique Répécaud, attempted crossing genres in studio recordings for the benefit of the music. Tribraque, is Jean-François Pauvros (guitars and voice), Patrick Müller (electrosonic), Jean-Noël Cognard (drums & percussion). A surprising trio which e…

Gritty, Odd & Good
A new weird, pseudo-music compilation curated by avant-garde experimental composer and audio artist Francisco López. As far as creation itself is concerned, big cities do not manifest anymore as the catalytic cultural centers they used to be. Their iconic status as hip locations seems more symbolic than real. The combined mighty forces of neocapitalist gentrification and telecommunication / information decentralization might have generated a substantially different landscape of geographical cult…
