Recorded January-March 2003 in Katowice. Play in random order. Cover art by The Tag Artist, a Reaktor instrument designed by Chris List.

Sonic Journey Through New Life
2006 release ** "A stylistic close to Selected Ambient Works - Aphex Twin. Music inspired by the birth of a new life. A clear canon of minimal music and the electro-acoustic school of noise generation. However, all this is atmospheric and muffled, so characteristic for Spika. The atmosphere of the album is definitely calm and although there are motor fragments, the compositions transport the listener into a distant, forgotten world - so close to each of us."
Bodysuit
2008 release ** "Turku's experimental and confusing band's fifth album from 2006. Very heavy industrial electro"
Laudanum
2007 release ** "An eerie and dark ambient musical project. This is the only album they ever released. All manipulations were created live and recorded to one single track."
An A-Bomb To Wake Up
2006 release ** ""Their newest full length appeared hot on it's heels, containing the band's most perplexing material so far. The nine tracks here keep it very loud and very heavy, and completely instrumental in contrast to the minimal use of vocal sounds on their debut. Each song is a super complicated tapestry of dense angular math-rock riffs, lopsided rhythmic patterns, and paranoid sounds of unknown origin that will all of a sudden come together to form a beautiful Slinty passage or a creaki…
Avatars Of Rape And Rage
2008 release ** "Avant garde noise with SM attitude"
Play Piano And Sounds
2011 release ** "Laurent Pernice and Laurent Perrier bear very similar names. But the closeness between the two artists goes beyond mere coincidence. Both are ex-members of Nox, the mythical rock industrial French band of the 1980's. Since then, they have built a true personal and artistic complicity. In 1997, Laurent Pernice quits Paris to live in Marseilles, South of France, where Laurent Perrier visits him regularly. In 2005, on occasion of one of his visits, Perrier is invited to listen to P…
Monolake
2005 release ** "The nearly seventy-minute live recording documents the ambient collaboration of Origami Galaktika with the Berlin project I:Wound and a lesser-known Norwegian, calling himself Inderst Elia. The basis of the sound skeleton is made up of psychoactive drones, which are then supplemented by a wide range of differently modulated rhythmic sequences and especially the most diverse field-recordings - human voices, the noise of city streets, sounds from nature, but also the growl of car …
So Far
Bomb! **Remastered 180g LP, includes reproductions of the original nine art prints and insert** After the poor sales of their debut album, Faust's “So Far” , originally released in 1972, presents the more commercial and accessible side of the legendary German krautrock band without giving up their advanced and experimental personality. It is a perfect album to begin exploring the group's discography, featuring one of their most well-known songs, “It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl”, and is consider…

II
Cluster was the pioneering German duo of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius. Formed on the cusp of the 1970s, they were a part of West Germany's nascent Kosmische Musik scene. The group would use restrained improvisational techniques similar to Gruppo Nuova Consonanza, working with both electric and acoustic instruments (organ, guitar, tone generators, cello, etc.) to create a singular sound that Julian Cope called "a huge beating heart, planet-sized and awesome." Originally released in …

Porno Jazz
2009 release ** "The Foot Job Band is a tough one to pin down, hard to label, and not easily put in box. You can’t tie up with a pretty red bow to be given as a present, even though producer/director Esmerelda Ronchi would love to receive such a risque gift! The ensemble, a true sextet in all senses of the word, take the listener through 14 tracks of lusty improvisation, deep composition and sensual spoken word. Some of the highlights: The drama kicks off on the the fiery 70’s tinged “Arpeggi” w…
1973: Live in Zonderschot
Incredible vinyl release of a previously unreleased live recording of a Belgian concert by the Freddie Hubbard Quintet in 1973. It was recorded by Belgian radio & television broadcasting service (BRT) and is now remastered. It is a sweet electric set recorded right in the middle of his classic years for CTI – and with a sound that's maybe even more sublime than his work for that legendary label! The group here is a hip quintet – with Junior Cook on tenor, and George Cables on some especially gr…

The fruit of over ten years of home recordings in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Baltimore, “Continuous Hole” melds improvisation and musique concrète composition into a uniquely sweaty document of labor-intensive rhythm.
