Meat Receiving
bang on the doors for a few hours, no one will open up at the banana fish office! for many people banana fish was a bible, and the pre interweb source to find out about manic street searchers such as prick decay, emil beauliau, neil hamburger, etc... there is absolutely no magazine that ever replaced bf and same goes for their equally amazing own vague "band" glands of external secretion, seems like anything can be thrown in at any given moment, collage music at it's very best, heavy tape machi…
Principium 2.1
years and years of summer whine, begging and massages, Remörk has finally committed to an LP! Remörk is the name under which Kris Delacourt hides his synth madness, home-made instruments and secret jewels; not just some squirky synth bubbles: we're talking huge wah wah glass pots driven by bike pedals, magnets that react to lightning whilst spinning around, deformed church organs etc.For this debut LP Remörk re-collaged the recordings of an installation he made with 12 vinyl records, six tu…

Theme From The Gay Man's Guide To Safer Sex
180gr black vinyl version Entirely a category of their own, fifteen years after the untimely passing of John Balance and the project’s demise, it remains impossible to calculate the importance of Coil. For just over two decades, following the band’s founding by Balance in 1983, it stood among the great emblems of underground music - a full realisation of the seeds and potential planted by punk, bred with the higher realms of experimental and electronic music. Their sprawling, deeply emotive cat…
The Chicago River
On 1992 after the great flood of the Chicago River legendary icon of jazz/improvised music master Hal Russell and great Joel Futterman did a large, two days performance for the victims of the cataclysm. It was pyrotechnic, but at the same time full of fire, lyric, and abstract flavor concerts. We are honored that Joel decide to release this long-awaiting music in full length without any overdubs on our label. Over 3 hours of music on 3 CDs!

Damien Est Vivant
In the wake of a profound loss, Marie Klock, a neo-chanson singer and multi-instrumentalist from Paris, presents a poignant tribute with her debut on Pingipung. On Damien est vivant, Marie Klock pays homage to the late poet Damien Schultz. They were intertwined both in artistic collaboration and deep friendship. Marie Klock creates a powerful ode to Damien Schultz's surreal, anarchic, witty and at times provocatively obscene French (English translations are included in the vinyl release). The po…
New Meridien
In 1994, UK ambient pioneers O Yuki Conjugate recorded their landmark Equator album. To mark the 30th anniversary of this musical milestone, many of the same personnel – Roger Horberry (co-founder of O Yuki Conjugate), Dan Mudford (ex-Sons of Silence and co-creator of the Shaun of the Dead soundtrack), Joe Lamb (ex-Sons of Silence) and Malcolm McGeorge – came together to make New Meridian, reflecting the range of influences they’ve picked up over the intervening years.
Generously described as “a…
Slavic Spirits
After the very well received, both by the audience and critics, debut album Repetitions (Letters to Krzysztof Komeda), focusing on the lesser-known works of the legendary Polish composer, the Wrocław-based EABS decided to further expand this lead and released two more vinyl records, "live" and "on tape", which crowned the "Komeda triptych". The astounding reception of the band's debut whet listeners' appetite for completely new recordings. It took 2 years for the new album to materialise, this t…

Prison Of The Mind (LP)
** Limited edition of 400 copies ** De Nor (‘the can’, or prison, in comic book Dutch) is an open-air venue/sculpture/pavillion at the Middelheim Museum in Antwerp. During its inaugural summer, Elko Blijweert played a live concert there that left an indelible mark on those lucky enough to witness it. What exactly did he do, you ask? Well, Blijweert basicly used the entire garden as an instrument alongside an array of pre-programmed pedals, keyboards, drum machines, guitars, a mandoline, and booz…
Glistening Inn
Very very excited to announce the first LP in 10 years by Massachusetts based Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase!!

Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase is the moniker of Chris Cooper, a multi instrumentalist, cat and moustache toucher, neologist and member/guitarist or ex member/guitarist of bands such as Deerh…
