A I A : Alien Observer
**2019 small repress on Kranky** The tools Liz Harris uses to make music as Grouper tend to be pretty basic: piano, guitar, synths, drones, hiss, and lots of reverb. If you've been following along with the twists and turns of noisy ambient music these last few years, this collection of elements may sound familiar, possibly bordering on cliché. But it's all in how you fit the pieces together. Despite sharing characteristics with a lot of other current music, Harris' has a distinctive sound that s…
A I A : Dream Loss
Third pressing - strictly limited copies* Most artists would struggle to put one album of the quality Liz Harris exhibited on 'Alien Observer' (the first part of her A I A double-header, also out now) but somehow she's managed to churn out a full two forty minute albums each as breathtaking as the last. 'Dream Loss' is the murkier, more grimy counterpart to 'Alien Observer's distant pop and travels still further into Liz's astral tape haze and noisy, vocal ambience. While the record might begin …
For Always
For Hyperdelia’s newest release, Andreas Dzialocha has created an enchanting ghost music. Animated by his solo bass playing and haunted by aleatoric acoustics, the record unearthes the instrument’s low end harmonics. A spectral music that sits somewhere between the timbral finesse of Julia Reidy, Tim Hecker’s noise gestures and the spaced out reclusivess à la Arthur Russell.
Early Tape Works (1986 - 1993) Vol. 1
Since their first release in 2013, the Amsterdam based imprint, Music From Memory, has rapidly emerged as force in the musical landscape, dissolving long standing conceptions of genre and history, with a startlingly catalog of reissues, compilations, and archival works. Their latest LP, Early Tape Works (1986 - 1993) Vol. 1, by Kuniyuki Takahashi, is one of their most exciting to date - redefining what we know about its creator, while challenging the accessible presumptions about the landscape …
Breaking Wind
Nihilist Spasm Band have been around for much longer than forty years, playing together on a weekly basis since 1966 in their home town of London, Ontario, Canada and continue to do so until this very day. A band of non musicians playing entirely free music, although perhaps after all these years they may have picked up some tricks. There have not been a lot of releases by them over these years, so I can imagine that Malevitsis is proud to be instrumental in adding to that small catalogue. It's …
Third
We’ve been great fans of ‘The Duchess of Oysterville’, the first outing from the duo of Chris Forsyth & Nate Wooley on cd some years ago on Creative Sources (with a follow-up later on Chocolate Monk), and had been looking for an opportunity to work with them if possible. Their duo is one of those cases that reveal different and unexpected qualities from the participants, and points to a third mind of shorts at play, a meeting that seems to open up the two towards an underexplored territory. With…
Bethnal Greener
Rekem Records presents the latest release by label producer Kostis Kilymis. Living in London since 2012, Bethnal Greener perfectly documents life in the capital, “this Roman shell”. The possibilities and the impossible, the dirt and the light, the highs and the lows.
‘Bethnal Greener’ showcases his most varied work to date, combing the delicacy and form of his lowercase improvised electronics with the full bodied sonic noise palette found on the 2012 Entr'acte release, More Noise Ahead. ‘…
Si Può Fare... Amigo
At the time of the film's release only a 45rpm single of this original soundtrack was issued which contained the song "Can Be Done", with lyrics by Sergio Bardotti and sung by Rocky Roberts (in 1966, Luis Bacalov had already collaborated with Roberts, performer of the main theme from the highly successful 2012 western movie Django). Only in 1995, Point Records released a CD which contained the instrumental score coupled with the OST from Il Grande Duello. For this issue, Digitmovies' new digital…
Blue Jeans
The soundtrack appears here for the first time on vinyl; Edition of 300. Digitmovies presents the original soundtrack by Nico Fidenco for the film Blue Jeans. An EP single (RCA, TBBO 1114) was originally released with the songs "Blue Jeans" and "A Final Step", performed by the group Cyan, which open sides A and B. For this LP, Digitmovies used the original tapes in full stereo that were preserved in the RCA archives. Nico Fidenco composed a pleasant soundtrack with a pastoral flair which is domi…
«Hold-Up» Istantanea Di Una Rapina
* 2021 restock, killer price. Very Last copies * LP 180 Gram. Black vinyl edition. When you think about italian crime movies, one of the first names to get to your mind is probably Franco Micalizzi, great minds behind terrific and unforgettable works like Napoli violenta and Italia a mano armata. Through all is carrier, nonetheless, there’s room also for some less known, but still mentionable works. One of them is Hold Up, made up of dizzying escapes, funky breakbeat and some less frantic episod…
Le Altre
* 2021 restock, killer price. Last copies * LP 180 Gram. Black vinyl edition. Easily comparable to the vaste number of movies from the erotic-dramatic genre popular between sixties and seventies, Alessandro Fallay’s Le Altre – a pretty much unknown director of Iranian origins – boasts an amazing soundtrack from the unforgettable Piero Piccioni, one of the acclaimed masters of the genre. The album moves between easy listening atmospheres to jazz and lounge, among Roma and Cinecittà’s summers parf…
Live At The Stone
Live At The Stone was intended to be Pauline Oliveros’ tribute to the life and work of pianist Connie Crothers who passed away on August 13, 2016. Sadly, Pauline Oliveros passed away on November 25, 2016. This CD, Pauline’s memorial for Connie, is now a memorial for both women. Pauline’s original dedication: “This recording resulted from my one and only performance with Connie Crothers at her invitation during her amazing residency at The Stone in August 2014. I was honored to play with Connie a…
Milk Thistle
"During the period I worked the most on these, summer 2018, I was reading the Daoist Zhuangzi and some Stoics. That material is likely why this CD has to do with detachment and inaction, as well as unspecifiable emotions. The synthetic/concrete sound relationship seems post facto to engage with the above. Inside and outside interpenetrate and relate in tension – openness, suffering, trouvailles and surprises of sound and feeling. The composition involved many layers of mixes, seemingly to do wit…
Phosphorescent Dreams
CD version. Available for the first time outside Japan, and on LP and CD, Phosphorescent Dreams is another epic album of symphonic schizophrenic avant-rock from Univers Zero, originally released in 2014 -- only on CD -- on the Japanese label Arcàngelo. Phosphorescent Dreams presents at the same time, in the same track, even on a single moment, the complex musical schemes and ways of Univers Zero, ranging from maximalism to minimalism, classical avant-garde with a 2020 vibe in a constant flux. In…

Seven Storey Mountain III And IV
Restocked! A double disc set featuring two live performances from Brooklyn's Issue Project Room in 2010 and 2012.

Spencer Yeh, Ben Vida, Ryan Sawyer, David Grubbs, Paul Lytton, Matt Moran, Chris Dingman, and the TILT Brass S…
Live 1974
The problem with Harmonia is that words simply don't do the band justice. A super-group made up of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius (of Cluster) and Michael Rother (of Neu!) they re-defined not only the Krautrock genre but also electronic music in general with a mere two full-length albums ('Musik von Harmonia' and 'Deluxe') so saying that they are an important act, especially on the pages of this particular website just doesn't do them justice. With a flawless blend of electronic and e…

2020 stock. 2017 release. Corbett Vs. Dempsey present a reissue of Suns Of Arqa's Revenge Of The Mozabites, originally released on Rocksteady Records in 1980. One of the key ensembles in the history of what is now referred to as world music, Suns Of Arqa began in 1979 with Revenge Of The Mozabites, the brainchild of Michael Wadada. With a ground base of dub -- in both aesthetic and method -- made palpable by master dub rhythm section of Style Scott on drums and Lizard Logan on bass, and produced…
