QorusQoros
QorusQoros is "outernational" free jazz madness from Lisbon trio Alförjs. It could as well be an ethnographic soundtrack from another planet as the trio of Mestre André (saxophone, electronics), Bernardo Álvares (contrabass), and Raphael Soares (drums) delve deep into the outer realms of what jazz/electronic music can sound like. Urban shamanism, magical practices, and ancient/future world views collide in unsuspecting ways on this out-there tape. A unique sound from a unique trio, Alförjs have …
UBEK
Dystopian soundscapes weaving through insinuated actuality. A collection of paranoid realities, implied certainty through testimonies given freely, observed by ever watchful eyes, detected by attentive ears and committed to record. It was at this moment he realised that he was actually living two parallel lives, he was living in both worlds simultaneously. The memory of the other had come back to him in that moment. On leaving the bathroom he was now on an alternative track. An alternative reali…

Fluttered Thinking
“I first met Jerry Blue when he left Oregon for northern California’s East Bay 25 years ago. He’s recorded and performed in numerous collaborations and iterations over the years, including guitar contributions for my Porest project. Naturally, in the USA, one must resort to unthinkable crimes in order to carve the time and space required to create art or music. Among other crimes, Jerry makes loads and loads of home-studio recordings. At age 42, he had a pacemaker installed and finally decided t…
One Or Several Tigers

In process of stocking* This album presents music created by Vindicatrix for Ho Tzu Nyen’s One or Several Tigers, a theatricalized installation using ancient and contemporary cinematic techniques including shadow puppetry, CGI, motion capture (taken from a suspended Vindicatrix’s body and facial movements) and animatronics, exploring the histories, cosmologies and ecologies of Southeast Asia through the figure of the Malayan tiger. The work begins as a duet between t…
Batang Frisco
Founded by Eric Jensen & the late Bill DiMichele (RIP), the lifespan of San Francisco based project Batang Frisco (‘San Francisco Kids’ in the Filipino dialect Tagalog) is inimitably distilled on this solitary self-titled record, an outlandish private press pearl of homespun minimal synth music.Recorded over the course of 1985/6 and self-released in 1986, the one and only Batang Frisco LP was the product of an inconspicuous DIY existence spent in the margins of the Bay Area scene in the 1980s. C…
Medasi
If being the founder and chairman of Third World Press Organisation - the largest independent black-owned publishers - wasn't enough for activist and poet Haki R Madhubuti, he is also credited with a lesser-known yet remarkable music career. As the bandleader of Haki R. Madhubuti and Nation: Afrikan Liberation Arts Ensemble, Madhubuti combined his razor-sharp spoken-word poetry with a band of incredible musicians to create an unforgettable experience of avant-garde and spiritual jazz.

Lexachast
**clear vinyl edition with alternate cover** Lexachast is an ongoing collaborative work by Amnesia Scanner, Bill Kouligas, and Harm van den Dorpel. Initially birthed as a joint, improvised performance between Amnesia Scanner and Kouligas at the ICA, London in 2015, it was later recreated and extended with visual artist van den Dorpel into a 15-minute online-only audiovisual work -- known simply as Lexachast. Since then, it has expanded into a live show that has been performed at Transmediale, CT…

The Conversation
**Edition of 200, sold out at source** The edition consists of a one-sided vinyl, including a track written by the artist herself for the performance interpreted by a deaf man who reprocesses the music detected only through vibrations, using the Italian sign language.

Corpo Senza Carne
*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 100 copies.* There is no body without flesh, no physical presence without its most obvious substance. In a continuous process of revealing what that substance is regarding to its own sound practice, Fera has produced this Corpo Senza Carne as a transient audio document about researching new and perhaps more intimate possibilities for a bare, naked, brutally honest and direct sonic expression. After Stupidamutaforma’s recollection of ten years of resear…

Nothing's Wrong In Paradise
Tip! **600 copies. Lovely crafted tip-on sleeve. Remastered from the original master tapes. ** Sunstroke were Ben Bollaert and Etienne Delaruye, both were obsessed with the burgeoning possibilities of electronic music and it made sense that they collaborate in the studio. The resulting experiments culminated in the 1985 release of Nothing's Wrong in Paradise.
The record was conceived as a soundtrack to a film that doesn’t exist - a sophisticated meeting of post-Berlin-school dreaming, Yen-record…
Zamia Lehmanni (Songs Of Byzantine Flowers)
"Originally released by Side Effects in 1986, Zamia Lehmanni was the third (and final) core SPK album and was Graeme Revell’s first truly solo project. He was in a period of transition, somewhere between the industrial noise of the early years and his later award-winning soundtrack work. On the day before this was first released, this style of music, now ubiquitous (especially in soundtracks), did not exist.After Information Overload Unit cleared a space for subsequent explorations, and the envi…
The New Age Is Shit
Proper, truckin’ psych techno bangers from Joachim Nordwall (The iDEAList) and Henrik Rylander’s cosmic incarnation, sent via Moscow’s Stellage portal. After seeing us off with last year’s ‘Your Skulls Are To Us What The Sun Is To You’ for Industrial Coast, the duo’s instinct for ace titles is in effect again on ‘The New Age Is Shit’, which pretty much sums up the record’s antithetical stance and the band’s scything iconoclastic approach to rhythm and noise-induced madness within.
‘Determinati…
Traveller
**250 copies** Love All Day follows up last year’s Planetary Peace reissue with Warren Sampson’s little-known ambient masterpiece 'Traveller'. Hailing from Minnesota and inspired by the early work of Brian Eno and Jon Hassell, Sampson infused their compositional modes with a self-effacing and distinctly Upper Midwest approach that is equal parts isolated and expansive. 'Traveller' was recorded in a bedroom closet studio on a four-track TEAC reel-to-reel between the late 1970s through the mid 198…
