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. Closer to Arvo Pärt and Morton Feldman than to any Italian prog, yet entirely its own universe. Music that breathes, suspends time, breaks your heart without raising its voice. Decades ahead of its time. First ever remaster from the original tapes.
In 1984, Frans de Waard published Archive 1, a fanzine containing nothing but discographies of bands he liked: The Legendary Pink Dots, Nocturnal Emissions, Van Kaye + Ignit, Attrition, Esplendor Geometrico, DDAA, Konstruktivits, Portion Control, and P16.D4. At a time before the Internet, it was a much-valued resource for fans of these bands, although hopelessly out of date by today’s standards.
Shortly afterwards, he published issue 2, with discographies of bands on the Insane Music label: Pseu…
Rick Potts and Joseph Hammer met at a Halloween party in 1982. At the time, Joseph was making tape loops and recording with Points of Friction, while Rick already had many years of freakdom service under his belt with the LAFMS. They began collaborating on new recordings, with Joseph providing loops and Rick playing an Optigan borrowed from Joseph. The Optigan, made by a toy manufacturer for home use, is a primitive 1970s sampler that plays prerecorded discs ranging from exotica, pipe organ and …
Berlin Jazz Days, 6 November 1976. Albert Mangelsdorff's trombone, alone at the front, with Jaco Pastorius on electric bass and Alphonse Mouzon on drums, a year after Pastorius's debut. Five long pieces, recorded live, released by MPS in 1977. The trombone multiphonics against a fusion rhythm section.
Another four Umiliani favourites remastered and reissued on seven inch for the first time. Dirty disco business on the A and super psych sounds on the B.
Dossier is taken from Moggi - News! News! News! (Sound Work Shop) 1979
Discomania is from The Soundwork-Shoppers - Discomusic (Sound Work Shop) 1978
Mondo Dove Vai? (Complesso Beat Con Effetti Elettronici Version) from Piero Umiliani – Questo Sporco Mondo Meraviglioso (Omicron) 1971

OEC is proudly going for the re-release of this Industrial timless masterpiece on its 45th anniversary! And after 45 the relevance of that album is incredible, it feels like it was recoded yestarday. The lack of equipment & tools has sharpened creativity. Information Overload Unit by "System Planning Korporation / << SPK >>" is simply a M.U.S.T.
A reference and absolute highlight in Industrial culture and muzak!
A few weeks ago I hit up this resale shop I haven't been to before. Serious junk store.. stuff piled up everywhere, I had to lay on a pile of Christmas wreaths just to dig through some of the records. Anyway... I get to the electronics room. Ironically enough it has no lights... I start looking with the flashlight from my phone. Mountains of wires and junk and speakers and modems. I see this metal box laying randomly under a bunch of wires, I pull it out thinking it's probably some old telephone…
Cage was in his late twenties, a Californian, who had served an unlikely apprenticeship under two of the century’s great opposites: Arnold Schoenberg, who thought him gifted but harmonically hopeless, is said to have called him “not a composer, but an inventor of genius”, and Henry Cowell whom he had watched reach inside a grand piano to pluck and sweep its strings by hand. The music on this recording follows Cage through this early decade of his life, his twenties. But this is not the music bef…
The 2000 Grammy-winning box of the complete Columbia recordings by Miles Davis with John Coltrane, 58 tracks from 1955 to 1961, reissued as six CDs in individually designed minijackets with a 116-page book.
This is supposed to be a 40th anniversary reissue. Well, it still is, but with year of a delay. It was told enough about the early Metgumbnerbone recordings. We just keep some quotes here.
"It’s hard to imagine anything more haunting than the folk horror ritual sounds which Metgumbnerbone conjured forth in the Ruins of Industry." - Kristian Olsson, Shock Tilt
"Working mainly with percussion, Metgumbnerbone evolves an improvisational continuum that depicts subterranean and old, eerie, murky templ…
Big Tip! These three previously unreleased tracks reflect the cultural influences of a very young Riccardo Sinigaglia. In particular, the Anti-psychiatry movement founded by Ronald David Laing, author of the influential books The Politics of Experience and The Bird of Paradise. As well as Jung's theory of archetypes, a subject explored in depth in the writings of Elémire Zolla. The compositional processes of concrete music are fundamental, while the extensive use of fragments from other cultures…
Comes in a heavy gatedold sleeve and with printed innersleeves. Peter Brotzmann reflected: "The idea of expressing my love of and admiration for Albert Ayler - both man and music - in a musical statement is not new. We both tried to do similar or almost identical things at the same point in time, each independently and without knowing anything about each other - each of us within his own culture." This album was recorded in August 1993 during the Free Concerts series at Townhall Charlottenburg i…
Belonging to an incredible, audiophile reissue initiative dedicated to the seminal Jazz Actuel series - one of the greatest depositories of 1960s free jazz - at long last we're gifted one of the greatest of them all: the first ever fully authorized reissue of Jacques Coursil's towering 1971 LP, Black Suite, fully remastered from the original 1969 analog master tapes. Featuring an all-star line-up of Anthony Braxton, Arthur Jones, Burton Greene, Beb Guérin, and Claude Delcloo, it has long remaine…
*2026 stock* ...At Last, it's here! During the transitional period in which Coil’s primary leadership (Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson and John Balance) reorganized their creative direction by taking on new membership in the group through their inclusion of Drew McDowall, Coil took a drastic turn towards the metaphysical unknown. Employing the subtle handiwork of Coil’s “real life” members, as well as the cleverly guised aliases and spiritual collaborators, the band chose to filter their identity…

*300 copies limited edition* Tara Cunningham’s guitar glitch miniatures draw patterns in negative space on new mini-album Warm Ground. Operating predominantly within improvisational and experimental music, guitarist Tara Cunningham has developed a discrete sonic language that reveals the full textural and timbral range of her instrument. Marking a new chapter for Cunningham that builds on her solo debut, Almost – Not Exactly, released on Non Classical in 2025, Warm Ground unfolds across seven co…
