Reality Is Not a Theory
Reality Is Not a Theory by Mark Fell and Pat Thomas is a vivid collaboration exploring the friction between theorized structure and lived musical experience. By fusing Fell’s technologically limited triggers for creativity with Thomas’s exploratory improvisation, the album reimagines not only electronic and jazz vocabularies but also notions of time and agency, rendering a shifting landscape where each moment is both calculated and unexpected.
Resurrezione E Metamorfosi
2026 stock The year after "de lusioni," the evolution continued with Arpia’s second demo "Resurrezione e Metamorfosi", a suite of more than 40 minutes, in which the lyrical element is stronger and the musical research more articulated. The hermetic and dreamlike text develops a continuous becoming, strengthened by the close relationship with the musical structures. “Resurrezione e Metamorfosi” represents, in the development and evolution of Arpia's musical path, a real distinction in the process…
A Fleeting Glance
2026 stock One of the most astonishing British private pressing rarities. The music runs the gamut from heavy space-rock jamming (including a snatch of ‘Interstellar Overdrive’) to folk/rock (an acoustic cover of ‘Light My Fire’ and a stunning version of ‘Watch The Stars’), avant-garde choirs krautrock-styled interludes and even trad jazz. The result is among the trippiest albums I have ever heard. Comparable only to Jumble Lane in terms of eccentricity
Blasco / Vítková / Anette
On this album Lucie Vítková and Merche Blasco explore cyborgness through their relationships with their instruments. Lucie perceives the accordion as an extension of their body - sound, matter, and movement locked in a self-generating cybernetic loop. Merche built Anette, a 3D printer, as her interlocutor and companion in the performance space; in return, Anette printed thimble-microphones Merche wears on her fingers, which render the machine's unique electromagnetic voice audible to human ears.…
In From The Cold
2026 stock Originally the debut release on Decca's Nova label, this blistering UK psych-blues powerhouse features singer Steve Bailey's raw, hoarse vocals, Ron Bending on bass, Terry Sims on drums, and guitarist Bob Weston (later of Fleetwood Mac) delivering frantic riffs and solos akin to early Spooky Tooth, Leafhound, or Free.
Tracks like the epic 12-minute "Darkness," driving "Going Home," and gritty "Take These Chains" capture turn-of-the-decade intensity with pounding drums and heavy guitar…
Primati
2026 stock Hailing from the raw energy of Italy's underground scene, Frend unleash Primati, a primal roar of distorted guitars, pounding rhythms, and lyrics that claw at the soul. This debut LP channels the ferocity of ancient apes with modern edge—think explosive riffs echoing evolutionary chaos, from the brooding opener "Scimmia Urbana" to the frenzied closer "Dominio Perduto." Blending post-punk grit with shoegaze haze and a dash of no-wave frenzy, Primati is a savage evolution: 10 tracks of …
Trabant II
With less than a year having passed since their incredible and widely celebrated, first-ever collection dedicated to the 1980s, Hungarian countercultural music collective Trabant, purge.xxx builds upon the momentum and its intoxicating highs with ‘Trabant II’, their second deep dive into clandestine, previously unissued recordings by the band. Meticulously culled from the collectively’s vast archive of DIY cassettes — capturing politically urgent expressions at the junctures of post-punk, synth …
Utopic Sporadic Orchestra
On Utopic Sporadic Orchestra - Nancy 1975, Jannick Top finally steps to the front of a large ensemble, unleashing a monumental, eighteen‑piece orchestral incarnation of his Zeuhl opus De Futura - a once‑in‑a‑lifetime blast of mythic low‑end and collective propulsion.
Microphonies 21
Microphonies 21 by Marc Billon is a long-form electroacoustic exploration centered on the resonances of a tam-gong. Blurring the line between acoustic gesture and electronic transformation, the work unfolds as a slow, tactile meditation on vibration, decay, and the physical act of listening itself.
Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viuva Da Liberdade
"Mutudi Ua Ufolo/Viuva Da Liberdade" is one of the most important records ever made in Angola. An hypnotic masterpiece that blends Central African rhythms and Semba with soulful guitar and percussion. Originally released on CDA with Conjunto Merengue, it captured Zé at his creative peak. Sung in Portuguese and local dialects, the songs balance rhythmic elegance with deep political weight, tracing ties to Afro-Brazilian and Latin American musical traditions.
After Zé’s assassination in 1977, the …
Magnetism
Super Tip! Kali Malone and Drew McDowall have orbited each other's work for over a decade, their individual explorations of sustained tones and harmonic space suggesting an inevitable collaboration. When they finally entered McDowall's Brooklyn studio together, what emerged on Magnetism transcends mere musical compatibility. Malone has spent recent years extending the legacy of Éliane Radigue, redefining what electronic minimalism can accomplish through pipe organ and synthesizer. Her compositio…
Crystal
Emerging from the depths of a private mindscape, Crystal by Stan Hubbs delivers epically torched psychedelia that transports listeners to a vivid sonic dream. Recorded in isolation within a remote cabin nestled among the majestic California redwoods, this 1982 brain-frying masterpiece captures a unique blend of vintage psychedelia and innovative homegrown sounds.
Crystal stands as the missing link between the iconic In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida era and the surreal charm of harpsichord-driven hallucinogens…
Faust IV
Faust left Wümme's anarchic freedom for The Manor's professional constraints. Virgin wanted a hit. Faust IV was the answer: their most paradoxical album, accessible yet destabilizing, part studio work, part salvage. The sessions stretched, the budget vanished, the result endures—uneven, restless, compelling. Fifty years later: still mid-sentence, still profound, gloriously incomplete.
Changes in Air
In May, composer, musician, and producer Kara-Lis Coverdale released her first new album in eight years, From Where You Came. It was followed by her second album of 2025, A Series of Actions in a Sphere of Forever, in September.

Ingram Marshall: A Personal and Musical Appreciation (Book)
Other Minds is pleased to inaugurate Other Minds Books with Peter Garland’s work of memoir and criticism, Ingram Marshall: A Personal and Musical Appreciation. The composer Peter Garland met the composer Ingram Marshall in 1970; both were students during the early, golden years of The California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) learning electronic music and composition from Morton Subotnick, James Tenney, and Harold Budd, as well as Javanese gamelan from Robert Brown. Out of this Marshall was abl…
Fuzz_Galopp
During the work for Voice Crack duo Norbert Möslang was one of the pioneers in the field of sound installation techniques usage in live improvised music. His instruments are cracked everyday-electronics, but sounds themselves are delivered from the mechanical properties of these devices. This kind of approach seems to be similar to Peter Fischli and David Weiss practices in the visual arts’ fields. The comparison of the film documentaries - "The Way Things Go" (1987) about Fischli/Weiss activiti…

Journey to the center of your mind
*Joachim Nordwall and Henrik Rylander return with this incredibly heavy drone-noise session under the 'Saturn and the Sun’ moniker* Crushing, celestial sized drone objects from Nordwall and Rylander here, sheathed in absorbing artwork by Martin Jacobsen. 'Journey to the Center of Your Mind' projects three concentrated, irradiating beams of Scandinavian drone noise intensity recorded at Studio Dental, Gothenburg. As with the artwork, the music could just as easily be said to desc…

David Maranha His work encompasses sculpture, music and architecture. In 1986 he started to develop his work as a musician both as a solo artist and with several bands and has since released more than 30 a…
Saturation
Poland’s Bocian reunite with zeitkratzer ensemble to present a difficult but hugely rewarding piece by influential Polish composer Zbigniew Karkowski, backed with Reinhold Friedl’s personal tribute to Ianis Xenakis. Both sides contain important, demanding, and foundational works in the zeitkratzer canon, which now stretches to 15 years of neo-classical interpretation and original composition with some of extreme and forward-thinking music’s greatest.Zbigniew Karkowski’s Monochromy - his first pi…
