A Last Discovery: The Essential Collection, 1984-2001
Finis Africæ (or Finis Africae): words redolent of mystery and myth, of Europe looking out to new lands, new worlds, new times. And so it is with A Last Discovery, the work of Spaniard Juan Alberto Arteche Guel, and his musical co-adventurers, recorded between 1984 and 2001. After 15 years of musical success in Spain with his band Nuestro Pequeño Mundo, Arteche was ready to experiment with new ideas, and with the purchase of a four-track reel-to-reel recorder he did so, exploring imaginary gl…

Akio Suzuki, analapos, stones, wood pieces, nails, hammer, room echo, bottles, etc. Aki Onda, radios, walkmans, amps, tape echo, cymbals, bottles, etc. Initially a 3 hours long performance recorded on June 2013 in an abandoned space, in Brussels. 'Sound artist Akio Suzuki is well known as a pioneer of sound art, but the breadth of his activities and the form of his works far exceeds the normal boundaries of sound art. With partner Aki Onda, he performs on a wide range of unique instruments inclu…
Circle
"Pori's favourite pranksters have along history of making things difficult for their listeners, but in the most enjoyably, obfuscatory way possible. This was the band who leased out their name to an entirely different group of hard rockers for the space of 2013, taking on the name Falcon (ex-Circle) for the duration of the loan of their identity before recovering their name as Circle (ex-Falcon).
Keeping track of Prince between becoming a symbol or returning to using a name like mere mortals see…
Pictures of Pictures from Pictures of Pictures (1975-1979)
Rare and long out of print LP...One can link Philip Corner's composition as an attempt of the Radiodays project to realize an acoustic exhibition. An exhibition is the reason for a composition, this is re-translated into the visual, the developed graphics serve again as a basis of a renewed transformation. "From sight into sound and back again; and then back again... This work is selected by Ursula Block / gelbe MUSIK, Berlin
Quarter Tone Music - Musique Ultrachromatique
Rare and long deleted double LP focused on the microtonal work of Ivan Wyschnegradsky. The result is one of the most unique concept albums ever created, presenting complex, strange, and beautiful atonalities perhaps only hinted of in the work of Wyschnegradsky's forebears (such as Harry Partch, Alois Haba, Julian Carrillo, Lou Harrison, La Monte Young, Ben Johnston, Terry Riley, Charles Ives, John Eaton, Henk Badings, etc.). This unique release is the opus magnum of Wyschnegradsky, containing th…
Erda / Suite N
Milestone reissue! Jean Schwarz has always been the wild man of the Grm, and also of Celia, his own label. His musical domiciliary rights are not only in the realms of electroacoustics, but also in jazz and extra-European traditions (through his engagement in the Department of ethnomusicology at the Musée de l’Homme in Paris). These varied influences result in a very peculiar electroacoustic music. The influences are not always immediately traceable, but the attitude in Schwarz’s works is maybe …
Angels And Demons At Play
Sun Ra's Angels & Demons at Play is a diptych created by merging two recording sessions. The first is a laid-back introspective affair ("angels?") recorded in 1960. Even frolicsome, these bouncy melodies follow the percolating rhythms with a gently leading reed, as Marshall Allen exemplifies on flute in "Tiny Pyramids." Also dating from before the truly experimental Sun Ra period, the last three tracks were recorded at RCA Studios in Chicago in 1956. Still very accessible, here several horns, am…
Inventing Masks
Originally released in 2013, Error Broadcast re-issued ‘Stunt (Appendix)’ just recently (ebc028). After a hiatus of three years Inventing Masks is a new moniker the producer uses to publish his self-titled debut LP. ‘Inventing Masks’ comprises six concentric but slightly out-of-balance sound sculptures, equally inspired from generative composition, ambient music, and hip hop. "Inventing Masks can stand alongside some of the greatest loop-based records of the sampledelic era. Put a vocalist on to…
Morgiana
Limited 10" pressing for 'Morgiana'. "Galvanising our ongoing commitment to the lost music of the Czech New Wave cinema movement from the late 1960s and 1970s, Finders Keepers Records follow up our series of previously unreleased music to Valerie And Her Week Of Wonders, Daisies, Saxana and The Little Mermaid with a short series of soundtracks for films by the countryâs master of the macabre and the nationâs first point of call for freakish fairytales and hallucinogenic horror, Mr. Juraj Her…
Bitter Earth
Bitter Earth is the much anticipated, long-in-the-making new album from John Duncan joined by a broad cast of adroit collaborators; Oren Ambarchi, Jim O’Rourke, Smegma, Chris Abrahams, Joe Talia, CM Von Hausswolff, Eiko Ishibashi, France Jobin - all written in dedication to Mika Vainio (who, for avoidance of doubt, is not dead!). It's a remarkable suite of cover versions - from The Gun Club to Nina Simone and Iggy Pop - and original material by an arch experimenter who continues to explore unfa…
B23 Steelhouse/Motor System (Extension)
Limited pressing white label 12" featuring two previously unreleased tracks by Lee Gamble. "B23 Steelhouse" is a rework of "Steelhouse Chaconne," itself an unreleased Lee Gamble dub from 2013. On the flip is "Motor System (Extension)," a track taken from 2014's Koch album (PAN 059CD/LP) and extended. Both tracks have been remastered and sound much louder and dynamic than the album cuts -- primed for the DJs. 140-gram 12" mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at D&M.
On The Beach
**2016 small repress** Long sought after reissue of this 1967 avant-populist Chicago jazz classic. Includes 2 tracks never before released on vinyl. Phil Cohran is one of America’s resounding jazz survivors. In the late 50s he was introduced into the fold of Sun Ra’s legendary Arkestra, but it is with his own ‘Artistic Heritage Ensemble’ that he really made his name. This record (usually referred to as ‘On the Beach’) is where his virtuoso skill really stands out, and his steadfast desire to cre…
Kattvals
2016 Reissue. Subliminal Sounds presents the band Kvartetten Som Sprangde (trans. "The Quartet That Blasted") and their album Kattvals (trans. "Cat Waltz"). First-ever vinyl reissue of one of the most sought-after and beautiful psych pre-jazz rock instrumental albums ever recorded in Sweden. Originally released during the summer 1973 on the obscure Gump label. Powered by a C-3 organ, Ludwig kit and 50-watt Marshall head with a home-built cabinet, the skilled three-piece band (not a quartet,…

Produkt der Deutsch-Amerikanischen Freundschaft
180 gram LP version. Bureau B reissues the first Deutsch-Amerikanische Freundschaft album, originally released in 1979. True D.A.F. connoisseurs will, of course, be aware of the early phase of the Düsseldorf-Wuppertal combo. But most fans of the subsequently world-famous duo may well be taken aback when confronted with their debut album: forceful synth bass sounds, snappy rhythms, Gabi Delgado and leather all conspicuously absent. In their place, pure instrumental, unstructured noise-rock,…
Cosmic Machine - A Voyage Across French Cosmic & Electronic
Impeccably presented, deluxe 20-track double LP & CD gatefold edition illustrated by legendary graphic artist Phillipe Druillet. Hand-numbered edition. There's little contest to the claim that French musicians pioneered electronic music in the 20th century. This compilation traces the period following the innovations of Pierre Henry and Pierre Schaeffer at the GRM, post '68 when bold artists were intersecting their avant-garde concepts with pop, disco and rock. 'A Voyage Across French Cosmic & E…
Here Come The Warm Jets
Eno's solo debut, Here Come the Warm Jets, is a spirited, experimental collection of unabashed pop songs on which Eno mostly reprises his Roxy Music role as "sound manipulator," taking the lead vocals but leaving much of the instrumental work to various studio cohorts (including ex-Roxy matesPhil Manzanera and Andy Mackay, plus Robert Fripp and others). Eno's compositions are quirky, whimsical, and catchy, his lyrics bizarre and often free-associative, with a decidedly dark bent in their humor (…
