Death of the moon
This disc is a reissue of lps on Pogus and Radium. Rune Lindblad (1923-1991) was an early pioneer in electronic and concrète music. Lindblad did not see these genres as mutually exclusive. Important and wonderful works by a composer who represented no institutionalized school of thought. At a concert in 1957, the critics called his music "pure torture."
Music for Merce (1952-2009)
The late Merce Cunningham was renowned for his legendary collaborations with the most significant experimental musicians of the late 20th century. Particularly notable is his association with John Cage, who served as the founding musical director of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company until Cage’s death in 1992. Spanning six decades from the early 1950s onward, these recordings capture the breadth of the Cunningham repertory and the rich diversity of Cunningham’s musical collaborations. Composers…
Dregs
* Edition of 150 * Debut LP from Capers. Slow and repetitive tape noise, with emphasis on noise. Sums it up pretty good. For those aquainted with earlier Capers material, those sounds are still present, but as a whole Dregs is a step in a different direction. "Sounds like someone is running a Puch Dakota through a huge wall made out of shit."
Basic Housekeeping - Order
Cortex A9: Basic Housekeeping - Order" is a new noise/electronics-project by Dan Johansson (Neutral, EFFM, Sewer Election etc), Frederikke Hoffmeier (Puce Mary) and Hugo Randulv (Amateur Hour, Makthaverskan, EFFM etc.”
Got To Stop Me / Hot Tarmac
* Edition of 200 * Black vinyl, white cardboard sleeve with postcard attached, stamped white labels, insert. Plays at 45rpm. Stark electronic abstraction from the London-based duo Komare which consists of Dominic Goodman and Peter Blundell from Mosquitoes. Two tracks of industrial DIY minimalism creating an organic sound world from broken rhythms and extraneous sound generated by modular synthesis with minimal bass figures and voice that is both an instrument and a cloudy narrative. With 'Got To…
Magnet Hill
* Edition of 200 * "Jesse Dewlow from Philadelphia follows up two great albums on Siltbreeze (Tricephalic Head, 2014) and Blackest Ever Black (Gunshots At Crestridge, 2016) with his first vinyl 7". Compared to earlier recordings, Magnet Hill is rather minimal and mainly based on guitar, that "a murky sub-underground feel resembling South Island NZ pop played inside of an armored car" line may still be somewhat on point, but these two downer gems are deeply rooted somewhere else. Both sides ends …
Link
Edition of 500, no repress, no digital. After closing out Smalltown Superjazzz’ run in 2015, Mats Gustafson fires up its new iteration - Actions For Free Jazz - in the lacquer crackling, spittle-riddled investigations of ‘Link’ with avant-turntablist Christian Marclay Both known for charting paths less travelled, here they point to strange, liminal zones of perception on their first collaboration, with Gustafsson’s electronically processed tenor and baritone sax channelling an ecology of wee be…
1.001.006 / 1.001.007

Kredsbevaegelsen
Kredsbevægelsen was an A/V installation based on a video projection of a feedback generated from a video camera filming it’s own projected output and feeding back the light information of the space in between camera and projection, returning output as input and retransmitting, producing a discontinuance of difference between action and effect.
Frequencies of coloured light are scaled down to audible spectrum and quantised into harmonics. All audio dynamics, variation in amplitude, phase, frequen…
Blunder
The immaculate mess of Blunder originates from a three-piece impro group consisting of Mads Forby (drums), Kristian Poulsen (guitar) and Lars Greve (saxophones and clarinets). Their debut album Blunder presents a music that's hazy and patient, struck by a disarming sense of attentiveness. It's a slow dance around a malformed energetic forcefield, it's the pull of the vortex, sucking the listener into an elastic sound world of repetitive rhythmic structures and shamanistic summoning.
Journey Into Nigritia
Legitimately available again on vinyl for the first time since its original release in 1983, Outernational Sounds proudly presents a major statement from a crucial figure on the Los Angeles jazz underground – pianist Nate Morgan’s spiritualised deep jazz classic, Journey Into Nigritia. How many 16 year olds would have the confidence to walk up to a revered bandleader at a gig, and inform him that one day they’d be playing together? As improbable as it sounds, this is how pianist Nate Morgan intr…

Bundle special offer: Flight 17 (2LP) Live at Iucc (3LP) and Thw cal (LP) by the legendary Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, led by their founder and mastermind, Horace Tapscott.

Smell Of Metal
Berceuse Heroique' Kemaa sublabel swiftly follow that excellent side of Greek fire-walking music with this deluxe reissue of percussive tributes to Mark Rothko by This Heat's Charles Hayward, backed with JD Twitch and Maxmillion Dunbar remixes.
'Smell of Metal' gives a first vinyl issue of the title track and 'Lopside' from Hayward's 1990 CD for Sub Rosa, unleashing two tense, minimalist pieces of rolling drums and etheric drones that sound like the missing link between 1980s post punk and '90s …

Xperiametaphone
”Reptilian underground crawlers from the sewers of dance music takin' over the surface of bored late 20es; educated by the flow of free time spent killin' joints and special moves learnt spinnin' bandcamp pay-your-price album libraries. A hitting low-frequencies body-muzak cocktail filled with squeaks, wacky samples and a pinch of irony.” - ArtetetraRecorded in Calocero Dungeon. Mastered in Plaza Lab Studio.
Giano
**250 copies** "Lavorazioni Carni Rosse is a state of being rather than a way of playing. Subjected, like all of us, to subliminal and coerced external momentum. Warped, amplified, Improvised music. Giano includes two long suites. Side A starts with a very subtle electronic alienating sound that is enriched by treated vocals, double bass, noises and trumpet creating a suspended atmosphere that evolves slowly to an organized chaos that is quite unique. Side B starts with a double bass played with…
