Together Is The New Alone
Recorded during nightly sessions in Dublin between April and July 2001, and originally issued that autumn on Mille Plateaux, Together Is The New Alone stood out within the German label's celebrated catalogue from its first listen, an album whose title named a feeling we now have an entire vocabulary for, two decades before the rest of us had a word for it.
It was the second LP under Donnacha Costello's own name, and the record where the Irish producer fully emerged from his earlier work as Jayro…
Icol Diston
Arovane's acclaimed 2004 album »Lilies« has been out of print on vinyl for nearly 2 decades now. It finally gets a well-deserved reissue through the Berlin based Keplar label. The new version has been remastered by Kassian Troyer at Dubplates & Mastering and comes with a brand new cover artwork.
Lilies
Arovane's acclaimed 2004 album »Lilies« has been out of print on vinyl for nearly 2 decades now. It finally gets a well-deserved reissue through the Berlin based Keplar label. The new version has been remastered by Kassian Troyer at Dubplates & Mastering and comes with a brand new cover artwork.
Tides
Uwe Zahn's second album, originally issued on City Centre Offices in 2000, returns to vinyl remastered by Kassian Troyer for Keplar. Field recordings from the French coast, sampled jazz drums, harpsichord figures - Tides steps away from IDM precision into warmer, more inhabited ground. A turn-of-the-millennium high point.
Entain.
The Keplar label presents the next instalment in a series of reissues from the catalogue of Sasu Ripatti’s seminal Vladislav Delay project. Originally released on Mille Plateaux, the vinyl edition of »Entain« from 2000 omitted two shorter tracks and included all others in an abridged form. With this reissue, the full album as it was pressed on CD is finally made available on vinyl. Besides a new remaster by Kassian Troyer, it was also given new cover artwork by Marc Hohmann that picks up on that…
Whistleblower
Following up on reissues of the 2000 compilation »Multila« and 2001’s »Anima,« Sasu Ripatti has thoroughly revisited the classic »Whistleblower« for its first ever vinyl issue on the German Keplar label. Ripatti created entirely new mixes of previously unheard-of alternative versions of the tracks that first appeared on CD through his own Huume imprint in early 2007. He thus shines a new, different light on a record that was as much an expression of reaching a turning point in his life as it als…
Multila
Originally issued in 2000 by Berlin's Chain Reaction, Sasu Ripatti's Multila arrived as a strange object within the orbit of Basic Channel. The third album under the Vladislav Delay moniker, it remains, more than two decades on, one of the most quietly radical statements to emerge from that lineage. The album compiles the Huone and Ranta 12-inches Ripatti had released on Chain Reaction across 1999 and 2000, refracting the Berlin label's dub-techno orthodoxy through a colder, more diffuse Finnish…
Anima
2001’s »Anima« was the third album released by Sasu Ripatti under his Vladislav Delay moniker and marked a turning point in the stylistic development of the prolific producer. Clocking in at roughly 62 minutes, the single piece draws on dub aesthetics while working with Musique concrète-like methods through the liberal use of samples to create a dreamlike logic. Muffled voices, lush chords, subtle rhythms and indefinable sound events are not so much integrated into a composition with a predeterm…

Domestic ethnology: Ekkehard Ehlers plays. ‘Play’ is a word in English with many meanings attached. Each one sends you …
Reich/Richter
On Reich/Richter, Steve Reich joins Ensemble Intercontemporain and conductor George Jackson for a single 37‑minute arc of pulsed colour, a chamber‑orchestral score conceived in dialogue with Gerhard Richter’s moving stripes, where pattern, blur, and return become musical form.
Runner - Music For Ensemble And Orchestra
On Runner / Music for Ensemble and Orchestra, Steve Reich joins the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra and Susanna Mälkki for two late-period works that stretch his pulsed minimalism onto a large orchestral canvas, maintaining propulsive clarity while opening into shimmering, almost symphonic depth.
Black Angels
On Black Angels, Kronos Quartet turns George Crumb’s Vietnam-era nightmare into the axis of a stark, haunted program, binding early music, American modernism and Shostakovich’s war-torn melancholy into one of the group’s darkest, most enduring statements.
Kronos Quartet Performs Philip Glass
On Kronos Quartet Performs Philip Glass, Kronos Quartet turns four string quartets into a self‑portrait of the composer, charting his path from theatre and film scores to music written directly for the group, all in a language of pulsed clarity and slowly deepening harmony.
Marion Brown In Sommerhausen
Alto saxophonist Marion Brown was an initially underrated hero of the jazz avant-garde. It was only after he moved from Atlanta to New York and joined John Coltrane that audiences and critics took notice. Dedicated to discovering the far-reaching possibilities of improvisational expression, Brown possessed a truly lyrical voice. In the early seventies, he played with Anthony Braxton, Andrew Cyrille, Bennie Maupin, Jeanne Lee, and Chick Corea, among others. On this recording he was accompanied by…

Bumpin'
Limited Edition 180 Gram Gatefold LP Reissue. Released on the Verve label in 1965, Bumpin' was Wes Montgomery's first album to reach the charts, climbing to #116 on the Billboard 200 chart. In his All Music review, Shawn M. Haney gave the LP four-and-a-half stars (out of five) and praised it by stating that, "Not only is Wes' brilliant command of the six-string present here, so is the vivid color tones of notes and blue notes played between. Backed up by a hauntingly beautiful and mesmerizing or…
A Day In The Life
Limited Edition 180 Gram Gatefold LP Reissue. From the early 1960s to the late '80s, A&M was one of the most eclectic and powerful independent record labels in the world. The roster of artists who recorded there includes The Carpenters, Captain Beefheart, The Police, Joe Cocker, Suzanne Vega, Procol Harum and Janet Jackson, among others. Founded as an independent company by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss in 1962, soon the label garnered interest and success, and was acquired by PolyGram in 1989. Thr…
Music for Intersecting Planes
On Music for Intersecting Planes, Kali Malone and Leila Bordreuil braid organ, cello, sine waves and feedback into a candlelit nocturne of air and overtones, an austere yet tender ritual where space itself becomes a third instrument.
Lucciole
Lucciole is Silvia Tarozzi’s luminous follow-up to the intimate reflections of Mi specchio e rifletto and the deeply rooted folk dialogues of Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d’amore with Deborah Walker. Here, Tarozzi draws together voices, memories, and musical lineages to create an album where avant-garde composition, personal narrative, and collective resonance exchange freely. The album opens with a radiant brass ensemble - chosen for its popular, celebratory, spiritual sound—and closes with the…
