*200 copies limited edition* Gathering its most vivid elements, and drawing inspiration from the most emotionally touching mixtures of electronic synthesizers, driving rhythms - always 'clever' and sober - and melodic para-ambient offshoots, Like the Snow creates an album with almost 'epic' connotations, for its ability to involve and for the intensity of the emotions it is able to convey. At times sweetly melancholic and introspective, at times 'charged' with irresistible dynamic energy, but al…

*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 200 copies.* Enfold was created over the span of four months in the early morning hours. Its structure alternates between mechanistic dub techno rhythms and sections of deeper ambience. Each of the three names listed within the album's track titles symbolize multiple hours of improvised source material. Field recordings appear throughout the album's duration. Thunder, rain, wind, and cicada sounds are prominent. The fifth track contains processed recor…

This is an unreleased and “lost” new album by Deison and Mingle conceived in 2014 /15 right after the recording and the release of their debut collaboration-album "Everything Collapse[d]". After the passing of Andrea Gastaldello (“Mingle”) in 2021 and founding these forgotten tracks led us to think that this work should have been listened to understand the essence of the original album. Published by a co-production of three label who have released various works by the duo in the past (Loud!, Fin…

"Below/Light" by Filer Coleman is a selection of ambient works by Jim Filer Coleman. It represents an antidote, or perhaps a counterpart, to the more aggressive music that he may be more known for such as Cop Shoot Cop and Human Impact. These tracks were recorded over a span of a few years, slowly evolving and seeking definition. Electrocoustic in nature, the approach was always exploratory and playful, searching for balance and connection with the natural world. Jim Coleman was an instrumental …

Cabaret Voltaire's 1987 album, co-produced with Adrian Sherwood: the turn to synth-pop and mechanistic funk, remastered from the original tapes by Denis Blackham and back on Mute.

One more new Gianluca Becuzzi release on Silentes, this time in collaboration with Luigi Turra. Composer of musique concrete and graphic designer whose main interest is the musical balance between silence and the tactile perception of sound, Turra’s works were published by labels such as and/OAR, Unfathomless, Non Visual Objects, Smallvoices and many others. A lot has already been written about Becuzzi, here we would just like to remember his historic Darkwave / Industrial project…

Here comes Gianluca Becuzzi’s fourth release on Silentes. This electronic / electro-acoustic composer and sound-artist boast an enviable curriculum: active since the first half of the ‘80s as founder of the historic Darkwave / Industrial project Limbo, since 1999 his artistic production is characterized by a strong experimental imprint and by a clear tendency toward abstract aesthetic forms and micro/macro noises/sounds. Among his recent artistic production - in addition to what he has pu…

'Verrückt' was originally a split cassette release with Criminal Party from back in 1987 on the Japanese label Lunatic Propaganda. M.B. better known as Italian power electronics/avant-garde/noise artist Maurizio Bianchi contributed one side of the tape. Original copies are scarce, to say the least, so M.B. himself reissued it as a CDr and now St.An.Da. give it the vinyl treatment. Captivating '80s underground cassette music, bordering on ambient with its bubbling dreamlike soundscapes.

In Sonic Boom, Spectrum & E.A.R. Vinyl, Danny Passarella turns Pete Kember’s solo history into a 300‑page artifact: every record from “Angel” to A ? Of When, unreleased audio, new interviews and ephemera mapped into a definitive, tactile chronicle.

Konoma by Takuro Okada is an evocative exploration of musical identity informed by Afro-American traditions and a Japanese artisanal spirit. With eight tracks that weave intricate guitar textures, this album reflects Okada’s meditation on cultural connection and the possibilities of stylistic fusion, pushing boundaries in contemporary instrumental music.​

Perila returns with a contemplative spiritual successor to her album »7.37/2.11«, which was also released on Vaagner’s sister label A Sunken Mall back in 2022. Featuring a collection of 8 pieces produced between 2021 and 2023, the album carries a serene vulnerability that underpins each work, drawing the listener in while gently grounding them amidst a drifting, ephemeral motion of echoing voices, droning guitars and sonorous soundscapes. Like a whispered conversation in the quiet moments of the…

*200 copies limited edition* "Notturni", Germinal's second album, deepens and pays tribute to more distinctly dark ambient influences while maintaining a firm focus on compositional minimalism. Forgotten loops and samples, buried melodies, rattling refractions and mysterious litanies delineate misty country settings and dreamy urban situations, which can be traced back to a minimum denominator: nocturnal landscaping.

*300 copies limited edition CD in 6-panel digisleeve* There are roads, paths that inevitably end up joining and there is not always an explanation that is dictated by a precise logic. in fact, there can be many reasons why one decides to take a common path, and in a musical world - which is extremely fragmented - one does not exclude chance or even the sum or escalation of those favourable circumstances that sometimes seem to be inevitable. Thus a simple empathic trigger was all that was needed,…

* Edition of 200 * Overgrowth: We consider technology as a tool at our disposal, while it has become the environment around us and takes only care of efficiency. So, nowadays, the technical apparatus became more important than men and their needs. It has no purpose, or a vision for a better mankind future. It only "works".

Huge Tip! Small repress. "I stood on top of the mountain and looked out over the landscape. It was so beautiful that my chest hurt. The light vibrated, time stood still, and the contours dissolved for a moment. Everything had changed; I felt it then. I took their little hands so as not to lose contact with the ground. Then we ran down the mountain, scraping our knees. Still, we didn't make it. You had already put away all the nautical charts, loosened the moorings and steered out among the skerr…

Originally released in 2000, Iron grew out of Pavlov's teenage fascination with heavy metal and the underground record-exchanging community of the late Soviet era. At fourteen, inspired by Iron Maiden's “Running Free,” he picked up a six-string guitar brought to him by his grandmother and decided that he and his friends could also play that kind of music. Before long, they were rehearsing in a Soviet youth club with whatever equipment was available, looking for the sound they heard in early heav…

By the end of the 1960s, Charles Lloyd was one of the biggest names in jazz. His quartet with Keith Jarrett, Cecil McBee and Jack DeJohnette reached far beyond the usual jazz audience, while Forest Flower became one of the first jazz recordings to sell a million copies. In 1970, at the height of his career, Lloyd disbanded the quartet and withdrew to Big Sur. He continued to make records from time to time, but largely disappeared from the jazz scene while following a more inward and spiritual pa…

LP version.If cellist/composer Janel Leppin’s wonderful and widely celebrated 2022 solo debut album Ensemble Volcanic Ash was a creative eruption, her follow up To March Is to Love is a glowing magma flow that greatly expands her singular band’s sonic terrain. The project thrums with immediacy as Leppin and her all-star sextet honor their musical ancestors and reflect on disquieting times.  Bandcamp Daily declared “There’s no end to the melodic intensity of Ensemble Volcanic Ash. Even at its lus…

Black vinyl. Reeling in the weeks -- which felt like years -- after my first Current 93 album, I had started on the difficult second C93 album, Dogs Blood Rising. Having been asked to appear on both Top Of The Pops and The Old Grey Whistle Test 93 times in the same week after the release of Nature Unveiled, I realized that God was telling me that I had hit on a winning formula of Christian eschatology and Apocalyptic Christian texts over a Soundscape as cool as flies, but that I was missing the …

Ahead of their final studio album 'Danceteria' coming out later this month, we have the one and only Soft Cell on the cover of the latest Electronic Sound. There's a 16-page Marc Almond interview inside the magazine and we're bundling the issue with an exclusive blue vinyl seven-inch by the synthpop superstars. Make sure you don't miss out on this!  As most of you will know, Marc Almond's Soft Cell partner Dave Ball died nearly 12 months ago, just two days after they'd finished recording a new a…

Spittle Records present a reissue of Tasaday's second album L'Animale Profondo, originally released by T.A.C.'s Azteco Records in 1986. Here, the sound is, if possible, even more primal and direct than its predecessor; without compromises. Improvisation takes over... free and uncontrollable sounds that tell of an ensemble that was years ahead in European experimental music. Echoes of Einstürzende Neubauten but also of Throbbing Gristle... and beyond, in a deep, almost free jazz universe. Post-in…

Near a remote village with a not-so-important name lies the entrance to a dungeon, sadly notorious among the local inhabitants. Legend has it that no one has ever come out of it alive. This is the only certain truth; all the rumors about what awaits you inside are wildly different and often contradictory. This peculiar dungeon is actually a magical dungeon, the foolish (or perhaps amusing?) experiment of a diabolical 36th-level wizard: the dungeon is constantly changing, or perhaps it does not e…

Limited Edition. ** Katcharpari is the second solo album by Italian jazz trumpeter Enrico Rava, recorded and released in January 1973 and considered a cornerstone of the jazz-rock/fusion genre.

The encounter between Ramona Ponzini and Maurizio Bianchi yields a work poised on the threshold between evocation and vertigo: a sonic device unfolding through stratifications, resonances, and semantic as well as acoustic collisions.Maurizio Bianchi, a pioneer of the Italian industrial scene, chisels soundscapes built from abrasive, material noises, dissonant cadences, and atmospheres both dust-laden and rarefied yet simultaneously dense. The listener moves across these terrains as if navigating…

First vinyl edition of Showtime, Sei Miguel's 1996 album and his first proper studio record, recorded live in Lisbon in 1994 with Rafael Toral on guitar, now presented as one piece with the cover photo originally planned.

In November 2017, something extraordinary happened in Shibuya. As Shuta Hasunuma began conjuring otherworldly sounds from a single Buchla Music Easel modular synthesizer, Keiji Haino—one of Japan's most uncompromising experimental voices—responded by singing "Kimigayo," the Japanese national anthem. What started as an unplanned encounter between two visionary musicians has now crystallized into U　　　　　　　TA, an album that brilliantly captures the haunting and complex interplay of Haino's resonant …
