Jila - Save ! Mon. - The Imaginary Suite
**Original 1979 vinyl edition of the album. Few copies available. Sealed copies** A post-free masterwork, recorded in Milan in 1978. This is an extraordinary encounter between George Lewis's electronically modified trombone and the flute, alto sax and bass clarinet played by Douglas Ewart, a giant of impro jazz, often at Lewis's side. Both George Lewis and Douglas Ewart create arresting, complex music here, in ways that powerfully contrast and powerfully pull together. The two are prodigious mus…

Advent
Jagjaguwar is now proud to reissue this very important work on vinyl as well. Advent became a true underground success story, a critical darling, with Alan Licht, for example, putting it on his 'minimal top ten list' in the publication Halana. 'It is a record by an intense young man,' writes Richard Youngs, in an essay packaged with the record." Kinda amazing to have this record back on vinyl, in the year 2006. Originally recorded in 1988, it features Richard on electric guitar, piano, oboes and…

She bends and plays around with music forms, combining playful melodies and songs with abstract forms and noises. Her debut LP is "like a toothpaste tube of psilocybin rainbows and juttering dislocations. A sizzle of torn circuitries and bright…
Яркаятьма - In The Bright Darkness
Creutzfeldt Jakobs is a strange instrumental pop band from Malmo, Sweden; their music is "inspired by old BBC-soundtracks and early 80´s balkan-synth scene, composed and recorded using old synths, tape decks and other forms of obsolete technology"; their songs talk about the history of the Soviet Union, with particular interest for the Perestroika-era. Well, something bizarre enough to make us fall in love immediately! "In the bright darkness" is a romantic concept album about the illusions, dr…
Monofuture
Evanescent lights in the night. Dirty cities. Cruel concrete buildings soaring in an ashen sky. On the paths of our imagination, dreams and fears intersect, generating accidents and strange mythologies of a near future. Cavern plays with the anguished fantasies of retro-futuristic sci-fi to compose deep and pulsating music that conveys a sense of agonizing wait. Here in the HDK headquarters we immediately fell in love with Cavern's music and decided to publish a cassette anthology entitled "Mon…
Perils In The Slums Scenario Three: The Maze Of Death
*100 coipes limited edition* Welcome to the third and final episode of the Perils in the slums saga! In the previous episode ("The corrupt magicians") our heroes found a key with a strange symbol, the same one they saw on the closed hatch in the orcs' basement (see Perils in the slums 1: the orcs commune). They then decide to return to the city sewers, re-cross the orcs' hideout and try if, as they think, the key opens the mysterious trapdoor. Obviously it works! They will get access in a new le…
Electric star
In Italy, the Berlin School style of Electronic Music has found poor diffusion in the '70s; few were the musicians who have followed the German cosmic way: surely the most important among them was Baffo Banfi, keyboardist of the prog-band "Biglietto per l'Inferno" and author of beautiful albums with funny titles such as "Galaxy my dear" (1978) and "Ma, Dolce Vita" (1979), that we recommend everyone to listen to. It’s a pleasure to meet today in Italy new disciples of the cosmic couriers such as …
Granular Modality
In many respects Earl Howard’s (b. 1951) music is an anomaly that resists categorization and the seductiveness of genre. He is an important force in improvised music and yet his work employs complex structures and rigorous transitions of sound and texture. His electro-acoustic music is realized with a K-2600 Kurzweil that for Howard is not merely a keyboard synthesizer but an open system, a computer with a most effective interface with modules and a key map that enable more freedom in the compos…
Beside Herself
Michele Mercure often dreams of music, and in her waking life, reclaims
fragments of these fleeting, floating melodies in her compositions and
sound art. Beside Herself, an anthology of Mercure’s self-produced and
distributed cassettes released between 1983 and 1990, collects these
dreamlike passages and lo-fi nocturnes, preserving the qualities of
discovery and intimacy surrounding their genesis. Mercure’s sound is a porous electronic art that overlaps ambient,
abstract, and industrial se…
Burn the Night / Bruciare la Notte: Original Recordings, 1983-1989
Burn the Night / Bruciare la Notte: Original Recordings, 1983–1989 is the first archival collection of music by the Italian minimalist composer Tiziano Popoli. In his music, Popoli framed the Italian avant-garde and New Wave of the 1980s through an architectural aesthetic distinctly detailed by a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, Roland TR-909 drum machine, and early sampling technology.
An Evolutionary Music (Original Recordings: 1972 - 1979)
Double CD version...A masterpiece! RVNG seem to be doing an enviable job of unearthing some of the most pre-eminent performers of progressive synthesizer and horizontalist ambient world music and this guy, whose stunning 'Osmose' is rarely off my record deck, is surely one of the most treasured. His work during the 70s is, quite simply, incredibly important to lovers of esoteric spiritual synth music and will leave you with a massive helpless grin and a notable dearth of tension in your m…
For Moussavi Atrium
For Moussavi Atrium is a brand new 38 minute piece from Eleh written for performance at the Cleveland Museum Of Contemporary Art (Cleveland MOCA) on September 28, 2013. " walks into a bar and asks for a pint of beer, the barman scowls at him and refuses. When pressed as to why, he says "I don't like your tone." Meanwhile a drunk in the corner tries to start a chant of "Eleh, give us a wave"...probably a sine it's time to leave.Yup, here's another tonal meditation from extreme minimal chappie…
Home Age 2
One-time edition of 480. Eleh's Home Age series was composed and recorded over a period of five years and it reflects a search for color, form, connection, and growth. The handmade artwork contained in each package was created during the same period of time the music was composed and is an integral part of the meaning of Home Age. For this release, Eleh plays modular and analog synthesizers, piano, organ, bass, and symphonic chimes. Although Home Age is a two-part set, Eleh's upcoming Living Spa…
CXXI (LP)
Black Truffle present the latest offering from underground legend Richard Youngs. Hyperactive since the late 1980s, Youngs is widely celebrated for his remarkably extensive and varied body of recordings. His works range freely over a vast terrain, wandering from tender acoustic balladry to raging psychedelic noise and orchestral D-beat, always imbued with his distinctive, often mournful, melodic sensibility and irrepressible sense of joyous experimentation. Comprised of two side-long pieces, CXX…
