Der Graben
**Edition of 500** Der Graben ("The Ditch") is the "final" joint release by these two legendary noisemakers The New Blockaders and Organum, who have been collaborating for years. Or perhaps their collaborations all happened within a limited period of time, and these periodic releases have simply been documenting their work a few minutes at a time. Here they present two extremely short tracks, which may or may not be from their archive of collaborations. Sides A and B together total a mere 3 minu…
Thunder of the Gods
Sun Ra is still trying to get our attention 50 years after dispatching this transmission. Humanity’s path since then makes his message even more urgent today. Years after Herman Poole “LeSony’r Ra” Blount “left the planet” he’s still trying to reach us, to wake us up and to change our destiny.Sun Ra and the Arkestra weren’t a traditional studio band, and every star in the vast galaxy of their discography reflects this. The origins of these records can be hard to pinpoint at times, but when it co…

Electronic Meditation
**Orange Coloured Vinyl 180gr HQ, Gatefold, 45rpm audiophile. Edition of 500** In autumn/winter of 1969 Edgar Froese, founder of Tangerine Dream, met Klaus Schulze and Conrad Schnitzler. This trio formed the line-up of Tangerine Dream to record the debut album Electronic Meditation. The band was supported by two other musicians: Jimmy Jackson (organ) and Thomas Keyserling (flute), but both were mysteriously left out of the credits of the original album. Edgar Froese: "In 1969, I met Klaus in Ber…
Lewis Spybey
From out of nowhere comes a unique collaborative album from Edvard Graham Lewis (Wire) & Mark Spybey (Zoviet France). Mixing lush electronic rhythms, sonic collage, ambient soundscapes and manipulated field recordings, these six compositions form an album with a strong identity. That this is such a vital and fertile partnership should come as no surprise. After all, both men have made careers out of creating confidently questing musics. Lewis with Wire, He Said, Hox, Dome etc. and Spybey with De…
The Parable of Arable Land
Milestone! The Texan Psych legends push boundaries on their 1967 debut album. The first and finest album by The Red Crayola – the band feted in psychedelia circles for producing some of the weirdest and most inventive music ever – which sounded unlike anything else from the 60s. At the cutting edge of psychedelic music, The Parable Of Arable Land defies boundaries and unleashes a free-form anti-rock noise on audiences. A precursor to avant-garde/noise & industrial rock, this recording is a conti…
Ende Neu
Reissue of the seventh album from 1996 with reworked artwork and enhanced bonus material. Emerging from berlin at the dawn of the '80s, Einsturzende Neubauten crafted a distinctive postpunk, proto-industrial sound that the group is still expanding on 18 years later. Typically, a Neubauten track combines abrasive machine sounds and the simplest of musical elements - spare bass lines, aggressive chants, thudding beats - to produce surprisingly atmospheric music.
'Was ist ist' embodies the band's p…
Fuenf Auf Der Nach Oben Offenen Richterskala
*Reissue of the 1987 album, originally released on What's so funny.* "Like watching a stalker cleverly follow its prey for miles, only to watch it shy away just short of lodging a knife into the back of the followed, Fünf Auf der Nach Oben Offenen Richterskala (Five on the Open-Ended Richter-Scale) is Einstürzende Neubauten at their unsettling, gripping, and tension-ridden best. It was also the group's most subdued and measured work to that point, organic dark ambient that rarely utilized the ch…
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!
Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura
New remastered reissue, the only credited soundtrack appearance of Gruppo di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza, makes you wish Ennio Morricone had used his free improv unit for that purpose more often. Gli Occhi Fredda Della Paura, or Cold Eyes of Fear, is an Italian slasher (giallo) from 1971. The score has Il Gruppo augmented by a rhythm section and a fuzz-wah guitarist (most likely Alessandro Alessandroni). The results sound like a creepy take on 70s Miles Davis, with driving jazz beats a la C…
Spasmo
2024 repress. This great score for Umberto Lenzi's 1974 cult thriller Spasmo, by the maestro Ennio Morricone, creates a disorienting and disturbing effect, with unusual, almost avant-garde-like sounds, instrumentation, and composition. "Sweetness and darkness – perfectly blended together in this classic mid 70s soundtrack by Ennio Morricone! The main theme of the film – "Bambole" – is one of those Mondo Morricone type numbers that floats along on a gossamy sheen – vocals gliding softly over ligh…
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…
Mystery
*2023 stock* Recorded in their home studio in Taipei, “Mystery 秘神” is a psychedelic journey into Taiwanese folklore combined with the 80’s media obsession with the supernatural. It’s a record that manages to combine nostalgia and tradition with humour and an underlying intrinsic earthiness to create something unlike anything else out there.
Brothers Hom Yu and Jiun Chi also play in Prairie WWWW (落差草原 WWWW) and Dope Purple. They both returned to Taipei in 2017 after finishing their studies and …
