The Complete Liberty Recordings
Formed in London in 1969, High Tide featured the intense guitar playing of Tony Hill (formerly with The Misunderstood), the violin and keyboard skills of Simon House, bassist Peter Pavli and drummer Roger Hadden. The band was managed by Clearwater, also home to Hawkwind, Skin Alley and Cochise and were signed to Liberty Records soon after their formation. Their debut album, the stunning ‘Sea Shanties’ was recorded at Olympic studios and some of the heaviest gothic psychedelic rock record ever re…
Jellyfish Reproduce Black Magic
‘Jellyfish reproduce black magic’ is the companion ep to the ‘Flying fish ambience’ album by RSE. The nature of a ‘permanent record’ whether digital or encrypted in the fossilized remains of evolutionary anthropomorphic species or ‘economic DNA’ left behind only further supersedes ‘artificial reality’ of environmental imprints. The alternative ‘occult economy’ is both reproducing and perpetuating a lethal life force. The essential premise of RSE remains ‘artificial spaces’ and ’synthetic nature’…
Japalm
Huge Tip! 200 copies. Japalm is a place in a vague geography, a place of memory and an abyss, fantasies and melancholies that take the names of imaginary cities. Loops, aleatory rhythms, the nostalgia of oniric places traced on an perpetual changing map, an image consumed by sunlight: LF RDamb, Dcramb, Nosun, Chllamb, Mneist, Niobu. Japalm is the second record from Hampar Soum, as well as the duo second work with Matteo Castro's label, Second Sleep. Hampar Soum are Stefano Scattolin and Guido Mo…

L'Eglise Des Crocodiles
This is the second release of max goldt's early tape music on gagarin records, and yet another brilliant collection of his percussive metallic miniatures. Max has been busy with his music since the late 1970s but is nowadays much more known in germany for his writing. as on the previous album "there are grapefruit hearts to be squeezed in the dark", most of the tracks are created with a simple set-up of prepared acoustic guitar, (pitched) voice, zither, some effect pedals and a multi-track recor…
Ovum Caper
Hauntologically pop, fragile and with a twisted psychedelic Beach Boys side, this album shows an undeniable songwriting craft. Esa Shield's androgynous voice together with the use of guitars, keys and analogue electronics tends to weave "wrong" notes and submarine harmonies into songs that range from psych-folk ("Shelley Duvall") to dark ambient ("Jenkins Other") and super catchy space-age pop ("Monde Capricorn"). Now and then a nostalgic and contradictory bout of fever unexpectedly appear…

Tubridge 99 -00
RESTOCKED, reduced price “I think of Akio Suzuki as a kind of magician, perhaps the most charming, engaging artist I’ve seen, Japanese musician and inventor, instrument builder and shaman Akio Suzuki is probably unknown to most of you. But we think his work is utterly captivating and crucial; it deserves a much bigger audience. Akio has been performing, teaching and building instruments for nearly 40 years. His music is simple and pure, and beautifully unworried by the rules of modern music. He …

Poesia Sonora
Sound Poetry is discipline which developed over the course of the 20th century. Firmly located between the worlds of fine-art and music, it places its emphasis on the sound and structure of words - the phonetic aspects of human speech, over explicit meaning. Of all the avant-garde and experimental creatives practices, it is unquestionably the most neglected. Its efforts remain almost entirely unknown beyond circles of devoted fans. Despite this, its has been remarkably influential. The Beat poet…

Atmosfere N.1/2
Spellbinding Italian Library masterpiece (originally released as two separate LP in 1971), a near mythical recordings with holy grail status made by Riccardo A. Luciani (credited as David Hoyt Kimball due to contractual reasons) with the help of Luigi Malatesta (also known by the pseudonym Peymont). Another two tracks are composed by Serena Marega, an obscure female electronic musician active in the late 60s and early 70s, who played extensively with Teresa Rampazzi, and was a founding member …
Halling
Edition of 300. Some time ago, Lennart Heyndels sought refuge in modular synthesis after injury prevented him from playing the double bass. In 2019 he continued this research into the physics of sound in a small hut in Norway and came back with this album. Recorded at EMS Stockholm and realized during a residency in the Norwegian countryside, the title of the album refers to the Hallingdal region, as well as the local traditional dance 'Halling' (in which the main goal for the dancer is to kick …
Drama of Exile
Nico’s iconic post-Velvets return to rock! As one critic memorably put it, when Nico spoke it was like coffin-lids creaking. When she sang it was like listening to ravens taking off 13 at a time. Nico was like nothing rock music had ever seen or heard before or since. In Paris in the seven year gap between the recording of The End and the release of Drama Of Exile, Nico appeared to be doing little more than feeding a heavy heroin habit. When she met Aura Records founder Aaron Sixx after a gig th…
