Catch Up with What Party +
The first full-length vinyl outing from Berlin-based musician and visual artist David Roeder. The LP features original and re-worked tracks from his previous self-released tapes as well as new material.
A gateway to the work of this shape-shifting artist whose Pessoan approach presents us with 23 tracks ranging from ensemble pieces, bedroom pop, field recordings, improvisations and electronics. Disparate elements unified by a layered, textural and DIY approach to sound. Indeed, the whole is some…
Eyes of The Amaryllis
Debut LP from this new Philadelphia four-piece whose members include Siltbreeze, Blackest Ever Black, Vitrine, Cor Ardens, & Kashual Plastik alumni. With one sought-after tape behind them the band attempt a surreal approximation of nice music.
Their general merriment and creative fervour was captured in recordings over a few chance family dinners and channelled through a selection of poorly tuned instruments and detritus. Songs collapsing into abstraction, or vagueness uniting in melody, Sift ca…
Issue 86: Soft Cell (Magazine)
Hang on to your black leather caps. Soft Cell are preparing to release a new studio album – their first since 2002 – and we're delighted to have Marc Almond and Dave Ball on the cover of this month's Electronic Sound.Marc and Dave have always been in a league of their own. Their take on the northern soul classic 'Tainted Love' is one of those tracks you recognise within seconds, but there is so much more to Soft Cell than this monster hit. They had plenty of other monster hits – and there may we…
L'Afrique Et L'Asie D'Après Tiepolo
Inspired by frescos by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo painted in the residence of Würzburg, again two so rich universes of intoxicating sonorities. Let us quote the composer: “Nothing is more inclined to suggest space than color, which becomes the true mean of the musician”. Difficult to imagine two pieces as dissimilar as this Africa and this Asia. Tiepolo's allegorical depictions of Africa and Asia inspired the French composer Hugues Dufourt (*1943) to write two of his most powerful ensemble works.…
La Convenzione / Paranoia (7")
* 2021 Stock. * Pollution from 1972 is the captivating follow-up to Fetus. Like its predecessor, the album features Baroque textures, motorik rhythms, weird tape effects and Franco Battiato’s perfectly oblique vocals, with a minimalist sound mainly based on the use of a VCS3 synth, unusual lyrics, complex arrangements: upon hearing Pollution, Frank Zappa joyfully proclaimed it “genius.” While Battiato’s core group of collaborators remains largely the same as on his debut, this phenomenal band (j…
Gente Distratta (LP)
**45th Anniversary Edition, red vinyl, 500 copies numbered** During the 1970s, Italy was one of the most exciting and fascinating musical contexts in Europe, birthing seminal projects and artists like Franco Battiato, Aktuala, Lino 'Capra ' Vaccina, Giusto Pio, Roberto Cacciapaglia, Futuro Antico, and so many more. Defining the scene was an ethos that rigorously pursued creative freedom and experimentation, with its artists fluidly moving between popular music - rock, prog, jazz, etc. - and more…
Christian Reim Trio
Melodic folk trio jazz by legendary Norwegian pianist and composer Christian Reim, featuring two different sessions with bass/drums combination: Ingebrigt Håker Flaten , Håkon Mjåset Johansen & Harald Johnsen / Jarle Vespestad.
Marjassa
Marjassa LP is reminiscent to 60s American avant-garde free jazz movements both soundwise and musically. Think a Finnish versions of Ornette Coleman/Don Cherry stuff (or perhaps Noah Howard/Ric Colbeck).
Is Dead - Volume One
Paul Chain was a pseudonym first used by the self-taught Italian multi-instrumentalist Paolo Catena in 1977. In 2003 he announced Paul Chain's 'artistic death' and destroyed all the tapes and photos in his possession. No explanation was given. Paul Chain has become a cult figure in the doom metal scene, but his 'purely phoentic' vocals, lo-fi recording techniques, and disregard for genre, will appeal to a far wider audience. With this officially licensed 93-minute double LP the Horn of Plenty si…

Love from the Sun
This jazz recording is considered as the 'magnum opus' of master "drummer extraordinaire'', composer, arranger, producer, and leader Norman Connor's in a career that has spanned 4 decades. This recording is what many will consider the debut of the legendary vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater who has since gone on to a brilliant career. Connor's put together an all-star group with Herbie Hancock and Onaje Allan Gumbs on piano and Fender Rhodes, Dr. Eddie Henderson on trumpet/flugelhorn, Carlos Garnett …
Australian Sun
What about Harry Merry? Harry Den Hartog is a talented singer and songwriter from Rotterdam in the Netherlands where music drew his attention from a young age. At the age of eight he got his first piano lessons and in the '90s he started to compose his own music using several keyboards like Casio wk3500 and Roland E-86. His music is quite pleasant, flashy and a little bit crazy, with his tracks having an absolute mastership of the pop formula. On this 7" single released by Meeuw Muzak, Harry Mer…

Loops4ever
An astonishing album by Manuel Zurria with music by Alvin Lucier, William Basinski, John Duncan, Terry Riley, Pauline Oliveiros, Giancinto Scelsi among others, 2CD in deluxe packaging with 12p booklet... Foremost in my mind was the idea of being able to manipulate some compositions for flute, that were not original or were “extremely free ” in their conception, personalizing them to the extreme with the use of multitrace or electronics. Only a work conceived in this way has led me to reflect on …

Midnight Blue (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack In Full Stereo)
*2022 stock* Stelvio Cipriani composed an uplifting score (the film takes place on a Sunday in summer) with a recurring dance-flavored theme with the fantastic voice of Edda Dell'Orso. The score describes the freshness and light-heartedness of three very young friends during a relaxing day at the beach. Unfortunately destiny has something in store for them. They meet three seemingly mild mannered men who are actually criminals who’ve escaped from prison. For them Cipriani creates hard and rhythm…
The Gratitude Of Sediment
An adventurous sonic exploration of the voice, cello and electronics.
A large component of Audrey Chen music is improvised, is completely un-processed and her approach to this is extremely personal and visceral. Her playing explores the combination and layering of an analog synthesizer, preparations and traditional and extended techniques in both the voice and cello. She works to join these elements into a singular ecstatic personal language.
