Yomillak - Korean classical music
Selection of Korean classical music, performed by the Orchestra National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts. Cast your mind back to the 15th century. That is, of course, difficult if not impossible to do, but the major piece recorded on these CDs, Yomillak, 'Giving the People Joy', provides something of a sonic reference point: it was first performed in 1447. Y'millak is the most extended piece of orchestral court music surviving in Korea, and it has for many centuries been used for r…
Curse You, Foreign Lands
A 14-track tape pulling together rural Greek demotika recordings from the late 1930s to the mid-1950s. Soaring pentatonic improvisations, odd-metered rhythms, and vocal performances oscillate between heartbreaking laments and ecstatic celebrations.
Issue 137 (Magazine + 7", Orange)
Electronic Sound #137 bundled with an exclusive purple vinyl 7" by Doublespeak, the new synth supergroup of Vince Clarke, Neil Arthur and Benge. A widescreen cover of Fad Gadget's 'Back To Nature' on the A-side, the previously unreleased 'Sunset (Instrumental)' on the flip.
Mushin
On Mushin, Susana Santos Silva and Vasco Trilla strip trumpet and percussion down to pure responsiveness, letting sound arise and vanish like breath in a Zen exercise, where every gesture feels both unpremeditated and utterly focused.
The Mafia Film Music Collection
Three of Riz Ortolani's crime and gangster scores, long awaited by his admirers, gathered on a single two-disc set for the composer's centenary.
Out To Lunch
Much-needed repress. First-time vinyl release. Old-style gatefold LP with liner notes by Kahimi Karie, Otomo Yoshihide & Tonoyama Taiji. Reissue, originally released on CD in 2005. Eric Dolphy's final studio album is hailed as one of the finest examples of mid-60s post-bop. Dolphy, having recorded the album in February 1964, was in Europe less than six weeks later and his all-too-brief life ended less than two months after that. It marked his last flurry of original compositions and is considere…
Magick Knives
Magick Knives channel desert night into sound: cinematic post‑punk steeped in gothic rock, darkwave and shimmered synths, where hypnotic bass, spectral guitars and whispered occult glamour coil into slow‑burn rituals.
Orchestral Works 1
New CD from Agencement, the long running solo project of the Japanese violinist, improviser, and painter Hideaki Shimada, the first release on Pogus in five years, and it closes a circle more than three and a half decades in the making. As Al Margolis, the label's founder and a singular force within American experimental music since the early 1980s, has long made clear, Pogus had wanted to issue Shimada's work since the very beginning. That it finally appears now, with Margolis himself among the…
Party Down the Hall
*50 copies limited edition* Aster are poets and experimental sound makers Alex Keramidas and Catherine Norris. Their practice is informed by perpetual choirs, sacrificial stones and top of the pops, as well as being guided by divination.

It used to be a hotel where people would stay in order to be healed. No…

Beton Library: Clockwork System Archive [1]
Artist Aubrey Taeuber bring us a fascinating new concept piece in the form of two long form sound collages weaving a tale of forbidden knowledge stolen by the elites and denied to the poor.
Caveman
Caveman is a document of Stamou's live practice: two complete extracts of solo improvised performances using his 'portable electroacoustic studio'. The setup combines acoustic instruments (prepared zither, reeds, recorders, objects) with handmade electronics, modular synthesis and live-processed feedback loops, producing long continuous pieces built on sustained tonal textures and free improvised solos. What the artist calls ritual noise: a slow-burning, immersive electroacoustic atmosphere.

The Pain of Separation: Turkish Gazels, 1926-1935
A collection of spellbinding, melismatic vocal improvisations taken from 78s cut between the mid 1920s to mid '30s - a period defined by the aftermath of the Ottoman Empire’s partition, the Greco-Turkish War and the compulsory population exchange that followed. This same period also represented a time of intense efforts, following the establishment of the Republic, to westernise the new nation's music - coupled with a ban on traditional music education in schools, and later a complete ban on bro…
East Two + 7
Eeast Two + 7 comprises previously unreleased tracks from one of Sun Ra's most productive periods: 1972–73. Those two hectic years saw Sun Ra recording numerous albums, staging concerts, teaching at Berkeley, acting in and composing the score for a full-length movie, embarking on a multi-album (though ill-fated) major label deal, and touring the U.S. and Europe. The title track, "East Two," is one of two pieces on this album originating at a two-day October 1972 session at Chicago's Streetervill…
Lucciole
Lucciole is Silvia Tarozzi’s luminous follow-up to the intimate reflections of Mi specchio e rifletto and the deeply rooted folk dialogues of Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d’amore with Deborah Walker. Here, Tarozzi draws together voices, memories, and musical lineages to create an album where avant-garde composition, personal narrative, and collective resonance exchange freely. The album opens with a radiant brass ensemble - chosen for its popular, celebratory, spiritual sound—and closes with the…

Music for Real Airports (Box set 2)
Music for Real Airports is a multimedia art project by musicians the Black Dog and interactive artists Human which is presented in art galleries. It is also a new CD of music by the Black Dog. It is a response to the reality of occupying the semi-public space of an airport, and a contemporary reply to Brian Eno’s work from the ‘70s. Airports are important and revealing. They are dystopian microcosms of a possible future society. The necessity of safety requires that they be systems of human cont…
The Voice of the Eagle
“I don’t call a lot of my stuff far out,” Basho explained. “I just call it a different level of feeling. It’s far in, as far as I’m concerned...I spent years on the road singing folk songs that had no meaning. It dawned on me music is supposed to say something. Music is supposed to do something.” This is a Basho vocal album – his singing, which John Fahey described as “strangely compelling”, came straight from the heart and soul with no regard for restraint, phrasing or timing. Thankfully, he wa…

Mens and Kouw have worked together since 2001, when their first album emerged from the clicks 'n cuts vocabulary via raw mixer feedback recorded to minidisc and broadcast live on Amsterdam's Radio 100. The duo has since migrated into tonal and timbral long-form, combining software, recorded acoustic instruments and modular synthesizer into electro-acoustic drone with audible debts to the American minimalist canon. First half of a two-part album, recorded live in December 2014.
