'Rückverzauberung' Live In London
Finally repressed! Then it was time for the man himself, Wolfgang Voigt. This, to put it simply, was a masterclass in ambient music. The sounds, beautiful; the transitions; perfect; the experience, unforgettable. The sound emanating from his quite simple set up filled up the church completely, in a room lit only by a few candles, his music shone through and brought everything to life. Everyone and everything became one with the music, moving with its ups and downs, delighting in it’s near perfec…

Calcutta Gas Chamber
**This special picture LP is limited to 444 numbered copies** An awesome album by an underrated composer, the idea for this project came about after a visit to Calcutta in 1990, and through the nightmarish experiences during that short visit.

The sounds are grating and harsh, a mixture of field recordings and electronic manipulations. On…
