Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millenium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors!
Music for Intersecting Planes
On Music for Intersecting Planes, Kali Malone and Leila Bordreuil braid organ, cello, sine waves and feedback into a candlelit nocturne of air and overtones, an austere yet tender ritual where space itself becomes a third instrument.
Abstract Forms
**300 copies** By the time the 1980s rolled around, most of the old guard had either hung up their saxophones or sold their souls to the synthesizer in ways that made you want to weep into your Campari. Not Sandro Brugnolini. The man who'd spent the late '50s channeling Miles Davis through the smoke-filled clubs of Rome with the Modern Jazz Gang, who'd scored jungle goddesses and naked panthers for Ruggero Deodato, who'd descended into the psych-fuzz inferno of Underground and Overground when th…
C 364 - Antico E Moderno
Following our reissue of Silvano Chimenti's classic "Disco Music", we're happy to delve back into the Usignolo catalog with the reissue of C 364, one of the most iconic releases of the series, the incredible "Antico E Moderno" by Mario Molino. Bringing some of the most eccentric, chaotic and spaced out vibes you could hear in the mid 70's, Molino's mind bending arrangements are timeless classics, still standing the test of time and showing how he was way ahead of his time. Literally translating …
At Source
Caterina Barbieri & Bendik Giske's At Source resounds music as wellspring, that which is essential and unknowable, and yet utterly primary. It finds two acclaimed composer-musicians building a world together in self-contained collaboration between analogue synthesis and an extended approach to the saxophone that conjures its own universe of sound. It is at once intimate and cosmic, drawing on the challenges and possibilities of their artistic exchange, tearing down technique to access all the ex…
120 Days Of Sodom
*300 copies limited edition* Re-edition of the Cult Industrial-Noise / Power-Electronic split album out in 1997 on OEC. The original LP, limited to 470 copies, is long time sold-out: time for reprint it into CD format. It’s amazing, it has been 28 years since the original split LP was released. These tracks all sound better than ever thanks to a meticulous mastering job by Grant Richardson. “120 Days of Sodom” is accompanied by the only previously unreleased Deathpile track, which was recorded i…
Exotica
On Exotica, Sun Ra is recast as an unlikely lounge visionary, folding the lush fantasy worlds of Les Baxter and Hollywood mood music into raw, off‑kilter Saturn tapes that turn easy listening into uneasy, Afrofuturist escape.
Air

This remastered edition not only preserves Kikuchi's original sonic vision but also features additional tracks that further highlight his innovative approach to composition and collaboration.
The world's music scene has been abuzz with the re-release of Air, a pro…
Water
Water is a stunning showcase of Kikuchi’s pioneering spirit and profound artistry. The album features tracks such as "Moon Splash," "Spectrum," "Aurola," "Blue Spring," and "Water Song," which embody a seamless fusion of ambient soundscapes and intricate jazz arrangements. Each track immerses the listener in a world of sonic fluidity, reflecting the essence of water itself: ever-changing, adaptable, and deeply resonant. Recorded between 1984 and 1986 at Cracker-Jap Studio in New York City, Water…
Auto-Da-Fé (LP)
*300 copies limited edition* Auto-Da-Fé is a collection of SPK’s singles from between 1978 and 1979. The first five tracks, from '78 and '79, are basically a scratchy thrashy punk sound, augmented by synthesizers and samples. Guitars grind, electronics screech, and metal is most thoroughly bashed. Highlight of these early works, and indeed the album, is the deranged Slogun. The intro to the song, a demented echoing clucking and quacking, leads into a pulverising mechanical grind. Surely a candid…
Pioen
*200 copies limited edition* The album was recorded in a small chapel of a monastery in the city center of Ghent. A chapel, by nature, is a place of contemplation and meditation, which inevitably influenced the music. Movements slow down, attention is sharpened and the overwhelming silence of the space becomes part of the music. Sound and silence are meticulously woven into each other. Even when the music grows at times dense and heavy, there is an ever-present sense of closeness and intimacy. T…
Oda
Vic Bang's "Oda" arrives quietly - it was waiting for the right moment. The eight tracks are shaped by listening, by circling around sound instead of chasing it... you can definitely hear patience in the pacing, a willingness to let ideas linger, to let all the small motifs breathe.
The album moves with a softer and more deliberate rhythm than much of Vic's earlier work, as the sound world here feels concentrated and cohesive, built from a limited set of elements that gradually reveal themselves…
Ethio Jazz
The Ethio Jazz album by Mulatu Astatatke is a jewel of the modern Ethiopian music. Essential. An incredibly groovy Ethiopian record, originally from 1969-1972. Amazing orchestral 'Ethio-groove' filled with US soul, jazz, sometimes Latin and the deepest Eastern rhythms, even including some great nasty and dirty fuzz guitars. A true gem of Ethiopian modern instrumental music, which illustrates perfectly this symbiosis of strong rhythms and quality arrangements of subtle yet deep Ethiopian melodies…
Nel Mondo Del Lavoro
Few albums capture Italian library music at its most purposefully conceived as Nel Mondo Del Lavoro. Originally released in 1972 on Sermi - one of the foundational labels of the Italian production music scene, co-founded by Sergio Pagoni and Michelangelo Cunsolo in close orbit with Bruno Nicolai and Ennio Morricone's world - the album was commissioned as the soundtrack to a RAI television documentary series on the petroleum industry, Sapere: Il Petrolio. What Rino De Filippi built from that brie…
Lustres
Our approach to making records has always involved an exchange of individually created sounds, which are joined together through live improvisation, studio recording, and the use of diagrammatic visual scores. Over the last several years, we have been interested in expanding very small fragments of these discreet pieces of audio into long-form compositions. This process has resulted in a new approach to how we build tracks from the ground up. In this particular workflow, one of us is largely resp…
Backengrillen
”Music and art without definite labels is a necessity for a better living - create your own individual genres and open up for more death-jazz-core-noise-metal-poetry to enter your world of destroying the local and global stupidities around us” - Mats Gustafsson "We really hope this slab of stupid, violent death rock will ruin someone’s day. Haha." - David Sandström Backengrillen is a new ensemble with their roots in HC, punk, noise and free Jazz. All members from Umeå, with roots in the original…
Nafs At Peace
On Nafs At Peace, Jaubi turn a Lahore jam into a spiritual suite: North Indian raga, hip‑hop pulse and modal jazz woven into a journey from turmoil to stillness, as if Coltrane’s quest had been reimagined on tabla, sarangi and MPC‑haunted drums.
Reflex
Francesco Messina is perhaps best known for his collaboration with fellow composer Raul Lovisoni on the album Prati Bagnati Del Monte Analogo, originally released on seminal Italian label Cramps in 1979. Along with contemporaries Franco Battiato, Juri Camisasca and Giusto Pio, Messina would help reshape the world of modern composition with an organic rawness and haunting beauty.In 1979, Messina was asked to perform at the Teatro Quartiere in Milan. As the composer writes in the liner notes, "Due…
Path of Enlightenment
Nat Birchall, saxophonist and composer, one of the most authentic voices in contemporary spiritual jazz, presents Path of Enlightenment, a sonic journey through rarely explored scales and modes, from Ethiopia to Byzantium, from ancient Egypt to South Africa.
For this new recording, Birchall deliberately chose the quartet format - tenor sax, piano, double bass and drums - seeking a cohesion and intimacy that allows the music to breathe and tell its story. Joining him are his trusted collaborators…
The Edison Effect: A Listener's Companion
Comes with a 22-page booklet in a two-panel Digipak sleeve. Paul DeMarinis presents a companion work to his acclaimed sound installation The Edison Effect, where ancient phonograph records, wax cylinders, and even holograms of records are played with laser beams instead of needles. This recording explores the archaeology of sound reproduction technologies, creating a dialogue between Edison's mechanical cylinders and contemporary digital audio. In the original installation, one of the most poeti…
