G.R.
** Tape. Digital download included. ** Hospital Productions has finally reissued the classic G.R. by Deathpile, the true crime album that stands as one of power electronics' most uncompromising and psychologically penetrating works. Originally initiated during the hunt for the Green River Killer and completed after the capture of Gary Ridgway, this album represents a singular achievement in the intersection of criminal psychology and extreme electronic music. This regular edition on black vinyl …
Cloaven Theatre / That Old Western Sieve
The Sun City Girls were unlike any band before them or that has come in their wake. Their catalog, their ethos, their *being* - you name it, with the Girls that “it” was singular and became legend. This singularity started early and extended to their release schedule and the means behind the same. While the band would prove to be wildly prolific throughout their existence, during their nascent days they quickly realized that they could not be contained by any sort of traditional label schedule. …
By the Lake Festival
On By the Lake Festival, Faust bottle a singular Berlin afternoon: iconic early pieces - including a choral‑bolstered “Why Don’t You Eat Carrots?” - rendered raw, sun‑bleached and unrepeatable, preserved in a lovingly remastered document that leaves every glorious flaw intact.
The Organ is the Worlds Greatest Syntesizer
**Limited edition of 222 copies, black vinyl two color screenprinted cover** At eight o'clock on a March morning in 2024, as Amsterdam awakened around it, Charlemagne Palestine took his place at the console of the Vater-Müller organ in the Oude Kerk—the city's oldest building, a Gothic monument dating to 1306—and opened a portal. What emerged over the following forty-plus minutes, now captured on this limited edition LP, stands as one of the most concentrated distillations of Palestine's six-dec…
The Bottle Tapes
Selections from the Empty Bottle Jazz and Improvised Music Series (1996-2005) is a six-CD anthology that captures the vibrant, unpredictable pulse of Chicago’s improvisational scene. Meticulously compiled from over 500 performances curated by John Corbett and Ken Vandermark, this box set chronicles a crucial era with recordings from nearly 100 international artists, immersing listeners in the fearless experimentation that defined the Empty Bottle’s celebrated Wednesday nights.
Paradise Cove
On Paradise Cove, Misha Panfilov and Shawn Lee build a sun‑bleached instrumental universe where deep‑funk pulse, soft‑psych haze and library exotica glide together. Surf‑tinted guitars, analogue keys and supple rhythm work trace a 35‑minute arc that feels like a lost soundtrack to a dream resort just slightly out of time.
Let Night Come On Bells End The Day
A quietly stunning meditation on sound and space, Let Night Come On Bells End The Day sees Sarah Davachi sculpting slow, luminous improvisations for Mellotron and organ. Each piece unfolds with patient restraint, revealing rich overtone complexity and a dreamlike sense of presence-minimalism at its most intimate and immersive
Khandroma
Marking the launch of Ubi Kū - a brand-new imprint exploring the links between Buddhism, spirituality, and contemporary creation - Soundwalk Collective returns with “Khandroma”, the latest in their longstanding series of collaborations with Patti Smith. Rooted in extensive research and field recordings made across Upper Mustang (formerly Kingdom of Lo), in Nepal, during 2016, this absolute stunner weaves transcendent and immersive sonic tapestries that radically rethink the terms and possibiliti…
Saat
Recording in a good studio in 1972 with an accomplished engineer/musician such as Dieter Dierks (Ash Ra Tempel, Cosmic Jokers, Tangerine Dream, and yes, the Scorpions), certainly enabled Emtidi to expand their musical style on 'Saat.' The end result was a shimmering, lush cosmic folk trip, with multi-tracked and treated acoustic guitars plus electric piano, fragile angelic femme vocals, vibes, and mellotron, (punctuated by the occasional acid guitar solo). Yes, 'Saat' is an elevated cosmic folk …
Planeten Sit-In
The compilations Planeten Sit-In and Sci Fi Party, both originally released in 1974, are a contemporary document of the legendary jam sessions of the Cosmic Jokers. Under a conceptual mantle, the recordings were brought to a young audience. Among the musicians the elite of the krautrockers of that time, like Manuel Göttsching, Klaus Schulze, Jürgen Dollase, and Harald Grosskopf. Plus, Dieter Dierks, who was responsible for the recordings, arrangement, and mixing, but also participated as a music…
Antworten
180 gram LP version with free download code. "Antworten (meaning: answer) is the third installment in a trilogy of Qluster music, following on from the Fragen (BB 076CD/LP) (meaning: question) and Rufen (BB 075CD/LP) (meaning: call) studio albums. The fact that the music on Antworten was created before Rufen and Fragen were recorded is less of a paradox than it might at first appear. For the expansive piano fantasies of their 2007 recordings had already provided a clear answer to the two musicia…
Opal
The Munich band Embryo was founded in 1969. "Opal" was her first album. Released on the OHR label in 1970. The band led by Christian Burchard (2018) combined numerous genres into one huge crossover project. Jazz rock, folk, blues, soul, contemporary music, and world music. Even if "Opal" doesn't sound as perfect as later recordings, the album is considered to be very influential. Embryo themselves describe their style as follows: Pop music is the appropriate level of communication for Embryo, ju…
Epic Sound Battles Chapter One
Here’s a monster of its own. Not to be confused with Trevor Jackson early 2000 project (even if the british producer has obviously been informed by post-punk, dub, post-industrial and the likes) Playgroup was more than anything a collective, based somewhere around Bristol and London. Drummer Bruce Smith was the key figure behind the project. Neneh Cherry husband and fabulous motorik force for The Pop Group, The Slits, New Age Steppers, African Head Charge and – more recently - Public Image Limit…
Disaster (Lüüd Noma)
In September 1968, Amon Düül played the "International Essener Songtage", Germany's first rock festival of five days duration, which was initiated by the later Ohr label boss Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser. The Berlin hit producer Peter Meisel heard and saw the band there and spontaneously signed them, along with Tangerine Dream and Birth Control. Amon Düül was close to the Berlin "Kommune 1" and came together at a time when everyone was an artist who wanted to be one. Anyone who wanted to could also be a m…
Water Angels
Lucky restock, few available ** 300 copies only ** A major part of Katalin Ladik’s work was associated with vocal and instrumental music, although she had no particular music qualifications, nor was she an ‘amateur musician’, but rather a phenomenon of music excesses and voice miracles, combining music, theatre and poetry. Her music essentially addresses relations between sound and woman’s body. It was the music of a female body and its motions, transformation, action and expression: when she pr…
The Vanity Project
Like a fractured reflection, images appear distorted and incomplete. A series of fragments revealing influences, methods, and decisions where life and work remain inseparable. Moving through the residual noise of contemporary media space, Christian Stadsgaard draws from social media remnants, dark web transmissions, and untreated human sound. These elements are processed through noise electronics and tape manipulation, collapsing source and signal.
’The Vanity Project’ is constructed as a dense,…
Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millennium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors! Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents.
Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping…
The Electronic Works

This publication marks the first instalment in a new series that brings the history of Dutch electronic music to life for a broad audience. The official presentation will take place on Saturday, 12 September, during the Gaudeamus Festival for contemporary music in Utrecht.
Unique discoveries from the archive. For far too long, twentieth-century Dutch elec…
Porcelain
Fohn conjures a dreamlike landscape of introspective beauty, loneliness and transience from analogue tape and field recordings on new album, Porcelain. A late summer evening in southern France. The dry mistral wind billows the washing that hangs outside the windows on narrow streets, bringing with it the first whispers of autumn. In the distance children are playing in the square, their shouts caught in the dust whipped up by their feet. A bell tolls, the light dies, and a rich, compelling soli…
Absens
MMMD returns with Absens, a commanding new album that expands their deep monolithic sound into a darker, more intimate terrain: across nine tracks, the record fuses subterranean low frequencies, complex inter‑modulations and brooding textures with distant threads of folk, all rendered through custom‑made instruments and meticulous sound design. Absens is an exploration of absence and presence, where physical weight meets spectral intimacy — MMMD assemble these elements into an immersive work tha…
