Fire of God's Love
Sister Irene O'Connor’s Fire of God's Love, reissued by Freedom To Spend, is a visionary 1976 private-press recording from Australia, blending devotional song with experimental electronics and echo-drenched vocals. The album’s raw spirituality, home studio inventiveness, and tape manipulations grant it a unique place in outsider pop, now made newly available to contemporary listeners in beautifully restored form.
Neuro Habitat
Quality reissue of a private LP, issued in edition of 300 copies in 1982; a skeletal extremist project that will then transform into the \'soundtrack\' of a movie with the same title, edited and directed by Paul Hurst. It\'s the setting of the griable pre-apocalyptic fossilization, the supreme lapidation of the meanness which creates the myth. There are actual melodies present -- dense and dark that mutate into harsh electronic outbursts.
\"In order to create this sound system, I used the conduc…
Never Use The Same Door Twice
This is the soundtrack to a narrative called "Never Use the Same Door Twice".
Entangled Visions - Standard Edition
Entangled Visions is the inaugural release of the homonym just-born Experimental Electronics label, based in Italy. Eight moments from eight different artists united by the same goals: disorientation and alienation through sound research and experimentalism.
Italian sound artist Giulio Aldinucci introduces the release with "Prima del Mare", immediately marking the concept of this work. Deconstructed rythms and Lanark Artefax-like synthesis are presented by the German producer Shō, the storm afte…
Byzantium
Byzantium by Byzantium navigates the lush crossroads between British psychedelia, progressive folk, and classic rock. Released in 1972, the band’s sophomore LP intertwines ringing acoustic guitars, harmony-laden choruses, and searching, poetic lyricism—a cult artifact, shrouded in rich three-part singing and midnight-stained atmosphere.
Jankélévitch Sextets
Jankélévitch Sextets brings together Antoine Beuger’s reductionist poetics and the responsive intelligence of Apartment House, resulting in a recording defined less by overt drama than by its expansive sense of space and attentive musicianship. Over the span of sixty-four minutes, Beuger crafts a patient tapestry for violin, viola, double bass, bassoon, bass clarinet, and accordion. Each instrument enters as if in dialogue, their lines arising not from thematic contrast but from a shared willing…
Things that Happen Again
Things that Happen Again offers a panoramic entry point into the lucid, evolving world of Paul Newland. Recorded by Apartment House at Goldsmiths in 2023, the album presents compositions written across a fourteen-year span. The title alludes to Newland’s fascination with recurrence and reworking - tracks such as “Difference is Everywhere (altered again)” or “Things That Happen Again (again)” are not only marked by repetition but by acts of subtle reinvention, echoing Newland's habit of dismantli…
Luna Cinese
At long last, after decades out of print, the Milan based imprint, Dialogo, dives into the legendary catalog of Cramps, bringing forth the first ever vinyl reissue of Costin Miereanu's "Luna Cinese", part of an ongoing initiative dedicated to bring the imprint’s seminal output back into the light. Easily one of the most singular and important experimental albums of the 1970s that remains as engrossing, creatively riveting, and as ahead of its time today as it was in 1975, this is as exciting as …
During a Lifetime
During a Lifetime stands as a portrait of Toronto-born, Berlin-based composer Chiyoko Szlavnics, commissioning three major pieces: “During a Lifetime” (2015), “Freehand Poitras” (2008), and “Reservoir” (2006). Szlavnics’s music is marked by tender asceticism and an immersive approach to process - her scores privilege long sustained notes, slow pitch glissandi, and luminous combinations of sinewaves with wind and string ensembles.
The title piece features Konus Quartett (four saxophones) entwined…
Second Sight
Whenever the term “Free Jazz” gets mentioned, the same questions more or less present themselves: “Is this easy to listen to?” “Is there structure, or is this just a few friends playing over each other?” “Is this another Coleman/Taylor/Dolphy homage?” Yes; yes; maybe—who cares? Free Jazz is (in my definite opinion) the last bastion of music (and maybe even art as a whole) where true innovation is not only still possible but also extremely well-executed—if done right. Enter “Second Sight” by Oslo…
Live At Teater Tribunalen
Huge Tip! ** Edition of 300.** The long overdue first proper jazz album on Discreet Music! After years of releasing experimental electronics, drone, and avant-garde sound art, the Swedish label finally documents what's been happening in their own backyard: ferocious, life-elevating free jazz performed by three of Sweden's leading improvisers. Niklas Persson Trio - saxophonist Niklas Persson, double bassist Patric Thorman, and drummer Raymond Strid - started ten years ago on Thorman's initiative.…
Sakura
With Sakura, Susumu Yokota unveiled an ambient masterpiece that blends sampled fragments of jazz, minimalism, and Japanese melody into a contemplative whole. Released in 1999 on Skintone and later on The Leaf Label, the album turns repetition into poetry, infusing electronic textures with a deep human warmth.
Outermost Melodies
Ian Antonio discovered Jürg Frey via algorithm. About 15 years ago, SoundCloud kept leading him to the same piece, maybe Circular Music No. 2. "I wouldn't notice the piece starting but then realize I was in fact listening to it closely," he recalls. "The stillness and closeness and warmth were somewhat new to me." At the time, Antonio played "a lot of very loud and often very fast music" with groups like Wet Ink, Talujon, Zs, and Yarn/Wire. Frey's music was "very much the opposite."
This double …
Commenti Musicali: Thrilling vol.2
Commenti Musicali: Thrilling Vol.2 presents a mosaic of Italian library music at its most eccentric: electronic soundscapes, krautrock inflections, and ambient dread. The compilation unearths rare, atmospheric pieces from the early 1980s, conjuring wired tension and spectral cinematic drama from the Contempo vaults.
A Mountain Sees a Mountain
A Mountain Sees a Mountain, the new duo recording by Hamid Drake and Pat Thomas, captures two master improvisers engaged in an intimate yet expansive dialogue. Released in October 2025 via Old Heaven Books, the album bridges African rhythmic philosophy and European avant-piano traditions, achieving a deep equilibrium between motion, meditation, and melodic abstraction.
Hlaholika
With Hlaholika, Adrian Democ offers a collection of chamber pieces unified by a focus on stillness and the unhurried unfolding of sound. Rather than chasing after overt drama, Democ’s writing reveals itself through the subtle layering of sonorities and stark, melodic lines, letting each instrument’s character shine. Apartment House brings sensitivity and patience to these recordings, allowing the music’s quiet radiance to emerge organically, rather than by force.
The album opens with “Ma fin est…
Broselmaschine
Temporary reduced price. The self-titled debut from Bröselmaschine, originally released on Pilz in 1971, stands as one of the most distinctive statements in the entire Krautrock canon. This recent reissue captures the band's remarkable fusion of acoustic folk traditions with electric experimentation - a sound that emerged from the fertile German underground scene but carved its own unique path.
Led by guitarist Peter Bursch (who would later become a legendary figure in German folk music), the gr…
Improvisation Sep. 1975
**Ltd. 300 copies, perfect replica of the original packaging and newly remastered for optimal sound.** Toshi Ichiyanagi, Michael Ranta and Takehisa Kosugi originally got together in the summer of 1975 for an open-air concert in Sapporo. The concert felt like a great success but was unfortunately not recorded. As the desire arose to record together, they managed to arrange a studio session in the NHK Studio in Tokyo, with presence of sound engineers. What was supposed to be a soundcheck for this …
Battutosso / Bone Pulse (And Other Nature Musics)
Philip Corner's Battutosso / Bone Pulse (And Other Nature Musics) features recordings from 1989-97 of the US composer experimenting with bones, "the 100 most beautiful cows' bells", "breath, flute, and rubbing rock", and "Geoff Hendricks' xylophone sculpture". Compelling stuff, as always with Corner's work. Mastered by Silvia Kastel (Control Unit etc) and released on the Italy-based Ricerca Sonora imprint in an edition of 300 copies
