Poire-Z
1999 release ** "Released in 1999 as a wave of electronic-based free improvisation was slowly overtaking the world of avant-garde music, Poire_Z appeared as the first such record by a supergroup of sorts. The duo Voice Crack (Andy Guhl and Norbert Möslang), Günter Müller, and ErikM's proposition was of a highly introspective, slowly building shroud of electronically derived sounds: the popping of M's vinyls, the clicks and crackles of Voice Crack's electrical devices, Müller's cheap electronics,…
Zahra Fugues
2009 release ** "Part two of the epic, numerology-inspired Tetralogy series, Zahra Fugues is Frank Rothkamm's first all-acoustic release since his Chamber Ensemble, which dates back to 1984. These 26 individual pieces, all in the fugue form, are the results of the composer's experiments with the Steinway Model M grand piano that resides in Zahra's apartment in Manhattan. Rothkamm demonstrates that he knows his way around a piano, crafting his counterpoint-fuelled missives as effortlessly as most…
Compiled
2008 release ** "Trance is the one-man project by american musician Mason Jones, known also as the founder of Charnel House label. During the 10 years of existence, he released 4 albums and numerous compilation tracks, which are often even more original and precious than album tracks. That's why we decided to gather them altogether for this release, which collects the most interesting material from the archives of the underground network. Mason Jones began Trance in 1987, and initially released …

Black Hill: Midnight At The Blighted Star
2008 release ** "Human Greed lie somewhere between the gorgeous drones of Stars of the Lid and the haunting and solemn “Symphony No. 3” by Henryk Górecki… This is powerful stuff and takes a while to fully digest it. The oily darkness that the music conjures up gets deeper and deeper with every listen, a resonant and otherworldly tremor that is at once human and sublime."
Maschinenraum 173
2006 release ** "Antracot is a one man power electronics noise act from Germany. Started in 2002, Antracot has developed his personal style into an intense form of ultra-harsh synthesizer driven power electronics with spontaneous outburst of extreme Japanese influences to stun the listener deaf. Antracot is known to work together with Atrox quite often. This duet usually performs gigs that blow most noise bands off the roster."
Army Of Robots
2003 release ** "Early project from Jason Crumer (NIDWST, American Band, etc.) which reads somewhat like a gutter-soaked lo-fi version of the Amazing Grace album, coupled with some early noise excursions."

2003 release ** "Red Shift fuses blistering hypnotic break beats with dark atmospheric sound textures and derives its inspiration from the images of distant galaxies and planets captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Imaginings of distant space are counterbalanced by the gritty reality of living and creating in the dense urban environment of London and the impact this has on everyday aural experiences. Beats and breaks are constructed individually and meticulously in the break beat science styl…
U-t-O-P-i
2015 release ** "Behind e-SaxBow is Florent Colautti on e-string and François Wong on electrified baritone saxophone. I have no idea what an electrified baritone saxophone is, but in none of this one can easily recognize the horn or anything with a string that is supposed to be the e-string. The latter is played using electromagnetic bows, which he pilots from his computer. The saxophone is also transformed by computer means and thus the five pieces, which last thirty minutes in total, sound lik…

McGear
Esoteric Recordings is pleased to announce the vinyl re-release of McGear by Mike McGear. Originally released in 1974, McGear was the second solo album by Mike McGear (younger brother of Paul McCartney) and was a more “serious” record than his work with the Liverpool satirical trio Scaffold, or his work with Roger McGough on the McGough & McGear album. Recorded at Strawberry studios in Stockport, (the musical home of the band 10cc), the album was produced by Paul McCartney (who also played on th…
