Limited edition of 200 copies.* "In statistics, a ‘spurious correlation’ is a mathematical relationship in which two or more events or variables are associated but not causally related, due to either coincidence or the presence of a certain third, unseen, factor. Spurious correlations look like causal relationships in both their statistical measures and in graphs, but they're not real."

*150 copies limited edition* It's a weird record. The artists would like to be anonymous, so no credits or info given. Music is a bit (structured) Sunburned Hand of the Man meets Can meets Portishead but I'll let the listener judge so to say...

Bomb! 328 pages hard-cover book, large format +  2CD of previously unreleased recordings. Keith Tippett (1947-2020) occupies a singular place in the history of British improvised music - a pianist of extraordinary range whose work moved fluidly between free jazz, large-scale orchestral composition, and solo improvisation of rare depth. Born in Bristol and trained first as a chorister, Tippett arrived in London in the late 1960s and rapidly established himself as a central figure in the city's cr…

On Revolutionary Pekinese Opera, Ground Zero - under the ferociously precise direction of Otomo Yoshihide - detonates a cut‑and‑splice orchestra where free improv, noise, opera and plunderphonics collide with undimmed urgency.

The sound of khomus meets guitar melodies simplified into pentatonic scales, intertwining in a dialogue that remains playful while moving between meditative passages and bewitching, hypnotic moments. Solid yet ever-changing, these melodies explore a delicate relationship between the present interactions, the…

"Tides of Unrest" captures their creative synergy in a 2023 session, blending innovation, tradition, and collaboration.

The starting point is E. T. A. Hoffmann's The Sandman: a world where perception and reality drift apart, and the question of identity remains unresolved. Recognition, in Hoffmann, is never quite secure. The doppelgänger is less a figure than a condition, the point at which the self can no longer vouch for itself.The first record, Lichtstimme begins in an open, almost weightless sonic world. Something still appears untouched. The music carries a sense of proximity, clarity and trust. But this sen…

With Heat, Société Étrange extends its work around repetition, groove and cyclic structures, shaping an instrumental music that is both hypnotic and enveloping. Without any radical shift, the Lyon-based trio subtly moves towards more melodic and more cinematic forms, revealing warmer, more textured and sometimes more luminous atmospheres.

*100 copies limited edition* Founded by Moreno Daldosso in 1992, Murder Corporation emerged during a crucial transitional period for the Italian industrial underground. The ritualistic and experimental tendencies that had characterized many projects of the 1980s were progressively mutating into harsher territories shaped by power electronics, death industrial, noise extremism and transgressive performance aesthetics. Within this shifting environment, Murder Corporation rapidly developed a distin…

Art Blakey was the new hero on the Paris jazz scene, thanks to his Olympia concert on November 22nd 1958, and his subsequent appearances at the Club St. Germain. People swore by his 'Blues March' and 'Moanin', so why not get him to do the soundtrack for the film Molinaro just finished? The only problem, albeit a major one, was that time was short, so an original score was out of the question: the Jazz Messengers would have to preach the good word by other means. Fortunately, the band's tenor and…

The Outskirts came together as a working band during bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten’s three-year stint as a Chicagoan from 2005-2008.

They even made a live recording in April 2009 that they were eager to release. But unfortunately, the multi-track audio files were lost in a hard drive mishap, leaving only a barely usable rough m…

These sessions added another dimension to the album, making it an especially rich and memorable work. The album was produced entirely by Sachi an…

** Hand numbered edition of 250 ** There is a profound resonance between the practices of Nam June Paik and Park Jiha - separated by generations yet united by a shared impulse to dissolve boundaries between Korean tradition and contemporary expression. Paik, the pioneer of video art, wove shamanic ritual and Buddhist philosophy into the fabric of technological media; Park Jiha channels ancient instrumental voices through the sensibility of experimental minimalism. Both artists inhabit a liminal …

Test pressing of the 2LP Cocoon by Rod Modell, Marit Wolters, on 13 (Silentes).

*100 copies limited release* Winding through cavernous and dark meanders, amid gurgling water, rustling sounds, low and deep pulsations, incisive and impactful sound masses, floating waves, crystalline drips, sudden rays of light, electronic spirals, and unexpected openings onto almost soothing soundscapes and quiet environmental stasis, Rod Modell paints musical textures that are apparently abstract and contemplative, but in reality charged with pathos and drama, taking advantage of a spectacul…

The mighty Argentine progsters Bubu make a triumphant comeback with their 3rd and final album El Ultimo Cortejo. Composed in part based on notes discovered by the band’s mastermind Daniel Andreoli in his parents’ basement, dating back to the Anabelas (1976) period, and in part on newly infused sonic elements by the evergreen lineup that boasts some of the finest upcoming musicians from Buenos Aires’ rampant neoprog scene, El Ultimo Cortejo carves new pathways in Bubu’s evolutionary trajectory by…

Norwegian rock trio Crossbreeze’s self-titled LP is one of the rarest of all beasts to emerge from the Scandinavian rock scene of the 1970s. Pressed in minute quantities on Experience, the label and studio founded by engineer/guitarist Nils Johan Øybakken in the small northern town of Mosjøen, Crossbreeze moves between acid rock and prog-y folk-influenced rock, Terje Nilsen’s fuzz guitar and Walter Albriktsen’s Moog bleeps adding shades of psychedelic space-rock. Crossbreeze disbanded after this…

Naples, 1977. Luciano Cilio's sole recorded work is pure magic - four "quadri" where strings, woodwinds, wordless voices and solitary guitar trace the edges of silence.

Decades ahead of its time. First ever remaster from the original tapes.

It is the second album on the label from Patricia Wolf, whose 2022 album See-Through is one of the most beloved in Balmat's catalog; it also marks the first time that Wolf has turned her hand to a film soundtrack. The results are every bit as magical as fans of the Portland, Oregon, composer's music might expect. Hrafnamynd--Icelandic for "raven film"--is a new feature-length documentary by experimental filmmaker Edward Pack Dave…
