Ak’chamel, The Givers of Illness plunged into truly deranged extremes to summon the decayed, otherworldly essence captured on Spiritually Unemployed, embracing unhinged and esoteric methods during the tracking process. Recorded in a makeshift adobe studio amid liminal border-zone ruins. Nocturnal treks along forgotten stretches near the U.S.-Mexico line, through derelict border outposts and sun-bleached vehicle husks, yielded unique recording opportunities: Ak’chamel dragged tape decks like sacr…
A work of genuinely monumental proportions. Jean-Claude Eloy's Gaku-No-Michi - subtitled "Tao of Music" or "Ways of Music" - stands among the towering achievements of 20th Century electroacoustic practice. Produced at the electronic music studio of NHK Radio in Tokyo between 1977 and 1978, its four hours of concrete and electronic sound unfold as what the composer called "a film without images" - an immense, spiraling architecture of sonic transformation that remains, nearly five decades on, as …
On Interview with a Cat, Marcel Broodthaers turns a deadpan Q&A with a meowing interlocutor into a razor‑sharp miniature of conceptual art: a five‑minute 1970 audio piece where questions about painting, markets and museums collapse into one insistent “miaow.”
Iterae is issued as a multi-disc edition designed for both shelf and wall—referencing the scale of the vinyl LP while quietly subverting its familiar expectations. The format distributes the album's material across four 80mm compact discs. Each disc can be played independently or sequenced freely, extending the music's own recursive methodology into its physical presentation. A full-sized compact disc is included on the rear for continuous playback. The design incorporates an integrated rear wal…
On Elis, Elis Regina crystallises everything that made her singular: a precision‑tooled voice riding the fault line between control and abandon, bringing samba, MPB and jazz‑tinged arrangements to a rolling boil of drama and nuance.
On this meeting with the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, Bobby Bradford steps into John Stevens’ London laboratory and, alongside Trevor Watts, Julie Tippetts, Bob Norden and Ron Herman, turns free improvisation into a fiercely alert, shape‑shifting chamber music.
Several years after the release of ‘Metamorphosis’ (with Sid Hille), Multicast Dynamics (Samuel van Dijk) reemerges on Astral Industries with ‘Circles’ - an enchanting two-part work venturing into deep unconscious realms. Sonic landscapes unfold in a sequence of hidden spaces and intimate revelations, featuring detailed sound design and rich thematic content.
Circle One initiates the process, opening gently with glassy drones and the patter of distant voices. A faint light shimmers through swir…
British Jazz Explosion Series! Recorded in '69, Greek Variations & Other Aegean Exercises is irresistible on two counts. First, for its daringly conceived and brilliantly performed music, inspired by Greek folk songs and instrumental textures and deep enough to reveal all its treasures only after many repeated listenings. Second, for being recorded at the moment when the Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet, a major force in British straight-ahead jazz since '62, had broken up and Carr's equally influen…
*300 copies limited edition* After their last album six years ago, "Primal Forms," the new album by Phantom Horse, finally arrives. The German duo of Ulf Schütte and Niklas Dommaschk have long established a reputation for expertly crafted, hypnotically slow-burning electronic music, and we do not hesitate to say that "Primal Forms" stands among the epitomes of their discography. The sequencing of "Primal Forms" cannot be underestimated. It is an album in the classic sense. It demands to be liste…
* Lucky restock, few available! * The threshold between field recording and composed music, between documentary and pure abstraction - 40 Days Of Silence occupies that narrow and precise territory which only the most rigorous practitioners of sound art dare to inhabit.
Jacob Kirkegaard belongs to a generation of Scandinavian artists - alongside figures like CM von Hauswolff, Thomas Köner, and Helge Sten - for whom sound is neither decoration nor effect, but a means of confronting otherwise unrea…
Aki Tsuyuko's Empty Talk dropped in 2017, not 2016 like some sites say. Japan release, self-released and through Enban, limited to 400 vinyl copies. Art by Ippei Matsui, silk-screened jacket-cool touch, makes each copy feel a bit unique. Mastered by Ztom Motoyama, recorded at Ongakushitsu. Feels niche, but that's the point. Album's under Electronic, but calling it just that is lazy. It's Ambient, yeah, but also Abstract, Experimental. Like someone took field recordings from a half-remembered dre…
*150 copies limited edition* Circle Bros emerged during the late‑nineties wave of lo‑fi and dronerock, when Morc Records founder Wim Lecluyse first began shaping hazy, guitar‑driven soundscapes. Over the many years that followed, the project gradually started using a richer soundpallete, and shifted toward semi‑improvised, restrained songs that draw as much from minimal‑leaning songwriters as from artists who fearlessly approach the folk traditions. What has never changed is the core approach — …
The seminal classic first Whitehouse album released in 1980, one of the most important and influential records from the embryonic field of electronic and industrial music
Guitarist Ava Mendoza returns with a powerful and emotionally stirring live album — half solo electric guitar, and half duos with legendary drummer Hamid Drake. Featuring radically transformed versions of songs from her acclaimed albums The Circular Train and New Spells, as well as brand-new pieces, this is a thrilling document of Mendoza at her best — onstage in front of an audience.
Limited to 1000 copies worldwide. Pressed on 180-gram heavyweight black vinyl with die-cut outer sleeve, full colour inner sleeve. Artwork by Ryoji Ikeda. Mastered by Noel Summerville. Manufactured at The Vinyl Factory, Hayes. One of the most uncompromising artists working at the intersection of sound, light and data, Ryoji Ikeda presents the sonic counterpart to his acclaimed installation data-cosm [n°1] - a 17-minute composition that distills the full spectrum of information on nature, from th…
Dive back into the primal heart of Krautrock with Amon Düül's "Experimente", a stunning collection of rare and obscure live material excavated from the same incendiary late '60s sessions that birthed their legendary debut Psychedelic Underground. This previously unreleased treasure captures the band's unbridled spontaneity, delivering a sonic assault that's as hypnotic as it is feral.
Amon Düül's jam sessions on Experimente are pure, unfiltered ritual – predominantly instrumental eruptions domin…
"Death is a lack with weight. At the moment that you realize that someone you love is irrecoverably gone, a small tear in your life opens up. As days go by, the sliver of grief grows, becoming a rift, a gap, a gulley, a canyon. At the point that you feel lost in the immensity of space where that person used to be, the expansion stops; the hole—the vast and airy part of your life that used to be occupied by that person—becomes solid. Maybe it decreases in size, but more likely, your memories grow…
Raskovich (Giuliano Sorgini) refines a single idea to a razor’s edge: lean jazz‑funk frameworks animated by flute, Rhodes, electronics and blaxploitation‑style orchestration, finally back in circulation after decades as a cult library secret.
On All Shall Go, Damos Room - the trio of Elijah Minnelli, Luke Miles and Nicholas Elson - strip dub to ghost‑logic and negative space, staging a slow, pressurised unravelling where tension, not impact, becomes the main event.
