Memory Loss
Sixth release in the MFR Contemporary Series. Greek trio Eventless Plot (Liolios, Giatas, Tsirikoglou), joined by bass clarinetist Chris Cundy, take recent research on music and Alzheimer's disease as starting point: that music helps both retrieve old memories and lay down new ones. Two long compositions are built from repeated patterns creating familiarity, then gradually layered with shifting tone combinations. Instrumentarium includes psaltery, tape (Revox A-77), modular and bass clarinet.
Ecophony Rinne
One of the most innovative and ambitious albums ever made, Genioh Yamashirogumi’s Ecophony Rinne is a sonic masterpiece featuring over 200 musicians that expanded the limits of what music and sound could do.
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.
Dwaal / Wold +
Originally released by Ghent's Dauw tape label in 2016 and quickly sold out, here reissued on CD with two new interpretations added. The original is a pair of eighteen-minute pieces: Dwaal layers orchestral washes against radio static and erratic noise, while Wold spreads sparse piano notes over a bed of fine hiss, supported by wind and bird recordings from Vriescheloo. The reissue adds remixes by Benoît Pioulard (organ and guitar) and Nicola Ratti (synth sputters and rhythm).
Obscurum per oscurius
The Latin title - 'explaining the obscure by means of the more obscure' - frames a collection of drones composed by Kouw across an extended period, in which the initial moments of inspiration are deliberately obscured in the final material. Long-form ambient drone work, mostly close to alien stillness with the occasional submerged rhythmic emergence, the album positions itself in the alchemical lineage where the act of explanation projects further mystery into what it claims to clarify.
Moving Music - Sounds From the Rocking Chair
Compilation that grew out of the label's December 2019 crowdfunding campaign. Twenty-four musicians contributed across sixteen tracks, mixing solo pieces with ten new collaborations (TVO & Jos Smolders, Radboud Mens & BJ Nilsen, Kouw & Petrovic, and others). The set holds together with surprising consistency across modular composition, minimalist ambient drone and electroacoustic experiment, functioning as a cross-section of the label's network at a precise moment.
Vauville
Debut album by the young Belgian composer Ryan Van Haesendonck, mastered by Stephan Mathieu. The pieces grew from a week spent on the quiet beaches of Normandy, then continued in Brussels after his move from Antwerp. The vocabulary combines field recordings of church bells, improvised organ sessions, urban recordings of the new city and saxophone passages by Silke Bull, layered into eight short pieces. Cinema-informed ambient on the theme of solitude and self-preservation.
Einsjaeger & Siebenjaeger
Among the most luminous records ever issued by Popol Vuh, and one of the high points in the singular spiritual arc traced by Florian Fricke across more than three decades of work. Esoteric, reissuing the album on vinyl on July 31st, 2026 in a fresh cut prepared at AIR Studios, London, returns to print one of the essential statements of 1970s German music.
By the time Fricke entered the studio in Munich in 1974 with Daniel Fichelscher on guitars and percussion, Djong Yun on vocals, and Olaf Küble…
Acustica
Composed between 1968 and 1970 and originally issued by Deutsche Grammophon in 1972, there are arguably few works within the canon of 20th Century experimental music as beloved and sought after as the Argentine composer Mauricio Kagel’s Acustica. Created for “experimental sound-producers and loudspeakers”, comprising electroacoustic material assembled on 4-track tape in 1969 at Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR) in Cologne, and acoustic material for 2 to 5 musicians, scored over roughly 200 filing-ca…
Terreng
Long-form duo work between Balázs Pándi (percussion) and Jon Wesseltoft (electronics), shaped as an open landscape of contrasts articulating space in both time and depth. The two players alternately trade and merge their instrumental identities, generating zones of improvised openness alongside densely constructed electroacoustic narrative. The vocabulary moves between quiet, ritually framed rhythmic space and saturated information, held as deliberate counterweights.
Industrial tape
This is where it begins. Recorded in May 1980 and self-released the same year as catalogue number 01, Industrial Tape is the founding document of the MB project, the first cassette Maurizio Bianchi issued under his new name after closing the Sacher-Pelz chapter. Working alone in his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, twenty-four years old, equipped with little more than an analogue synthesiser, a tape machine, and a small bank of effects, Bianchi laid down four pieces that would set in moti…

Rest In Peace: The Final Concert
On Rest In Peace: The Final Concert, Bauhaus capture their 1983 Hammersmith Palais swan song across two discs, delivering gothic rock's founding quartet - Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins - at their theatrical, darkly charged peak before dissolving into legend.
Trabant
Purge launches into the new year with an absolute burner: the first ever collection dedicated to the 1980s, Hungarian countercultural music collective Trabant. Drawn from a body of over a hundred, never before issued DIY recordings, made by the band during during the period between 1980 to 1987, across the LPs two side unfurls some of the greatest, unheard post-punk and indie pop ever made behind the Iron Curtain. It’s an absolute revelation that can’t be recommend enough.
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.

To-day's Sound
**2026 Remastered Repress** Gatefold edition with OBI and poster! Recorded in the summer of 1973 on an 8-track Ampex at Sound Work-Shop, the studio Piero Umiliani had built in his own building on Via S. Tommaso d'Aquino in Rome, To-Day's Sound documents a moment when Umiliani had concentrated, in a single eighty-square-metre room, an arsenal of electronic instruments still uncommon in Italian recording at the time: Minimoog, ARP 2600, EMS VCS3, Fender Rhodes, Clavinet, Lowrey organ, Space Echo, …
