Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millenium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors!
Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents. Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping …
Electronic Resistance
*500 copies limited edition* Since the late 1970s, Nigel Ayers (b. 1957, UK) has cut a bracing, subversive path through the contemporary underground, bridging DIY industrial enthusiasms with multimedia experimentation to form a singular body of work. Co-founder of the groups The Pump and Nocturnal Emissions (along with brother Daniel Ayers and then-partner Caroline Kaye), Ayers has been a contributor to and proponent of industrial music’s high-water marks, his Sterile Records imprint disseminati…
Grotesque
Bursting into the 1980s on a new label (the then-upstart, now-legendary Rough Trade) and with an augmented, audibly panicked lineup, The Fall's Grotesque is the true pure-bred Fall release from the Marc Riley era. Released in the immediate wake of The Fall's most beloved single (Totally Wired), the album carries over that righteously famed teeth-chattering, bolstered in no small part by the drumming of new addition Paul Hanley, brother of bassist Steve Hanley and aged only 15 at the time of reco…
Gaku-No-Michi (1977-78)
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 …
50 Ans d'Acousmatique
Few figures have shaped the course of electroacoustic music as profoundly and as persistently as François Bayle. This lavish 15-CD box set on INA-GRM gathers fifty works composed across half a century - from 1963 to 2012 - into a single, staggering document. Sixteen hours of acousmatic creation, 228 tracks, accompanied by a 160-page illustrated booklet with a 2012 interview by Thomas Baumgartner, an annotated catalog of works by Régis Renouard Larivière, and photographs spanning the full arc of …
Khmer
The landmark that redefined the ECM trumpet album: Nils Petter Molvaer fuses Nordic trumpet with ambient, dub, electronics and drum'n'bass. A manifesto for future jazz; cinematic and groundbreaking.
Demonic Trip Through Hell
*2024 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Controlled Death is the dark side project by the Japanese noise legend Maso Yamazaki a.k.a. Masonna. Here on Phage Tapes. Recorded and edited on January 13th and 14th, 2021 at Death Control Studio.
Toothpaste For Your Elephant
*250 copies limited edition* Toothpaste For Your Elephant marks the first release for London based Ó Mhaidin. Unfolding over 16 tracks, 3 of which are newly mastered reissues seeing vinyl for the first time, the compilation is born from a love of 80’s underground cassette culture, an homage to late nights spent listening to junked-up Americana, disregarded DIY oddities and neo no-wave.
Featuring contributions from Old Saw, Tarawangsawelas, Kulku, Fiesta En El Vacío, Thorn Wych and more, Ó Mhaidi…
Rituals of The Last dawn
On Rituals of The Last Dawn, Saba Alizadeh draws Persian classical memory into long‑form electro‑acoustic rites, two side‑long pieces that breathe like prayers for a wounded world - hushed, spacious, and quietly defiant.
Bivabippabualukka
On Bivabippabualukka, Sofie Birch turns a spiritually transformative period with her brother Alfred into a bossa‑tinted pocket of joy: playful, childlike songs where intuition, myth and healing spill out like fish from a cup of dreams.
Music To Set Everything On Fire
After a brief period during which they recorded only a couple of 7-inch singles for the Orfeón label that had a very limited distribution, Mexican rockers Antorcha fully embraced a DIY approach to managing their own career. They had evolved into a heavy psychedelic rock group, with no metaphors and no compromises. Anarchists in a country that could barely utter the word without trembling. It was the final years of the 1960s. Their influences came from Iron Butterfly, Black Sabbath, Blue Cheer, V…
The Rest Is My Ghost
Nostalgia is not an ideology, though in this moment, we could be mistaken for thinking it might be just that. Over the past years, the idea of nostalgia has been filtered through various political and technological lenses and has become a tool used for forgetting, rather than remembering. Instead of embracing histories’ complexities and inconsistencies, this version of nostalgia seeks only singular recollection. This contemporary phenomenon of nostalgia has become a methodology at best, and a we…
Sahkomies
On Sähkömies, Jimi Tenor fuses lo‑fi drum‑machine electronics with smoky, Sun Ra‑indebted jazz, announcing himself as techno’s first cabaret surrealist. Recorded alone in a New York apartment and released on Sähkö/Puu in 1994, the album’s eight roughcast tracks turn bedroom gear, cheap synths and tenor sax into a playful, futuristic minimal‑acid songbook.
College Tour (LP)
Early 1980's Italian re-issue on Base Records of the 1969 album featuring Giuseppi Logan and Dave Burrell.
Luna Surface
A landmark in avant-garde jazz returns: the definitive, remastered edition of Alan Silva’s 1969 Paris session for BYG’s Actuel series. Leading his 11-piece Celestial Communication Orchestra — with titans like Anthony Braxton, Archie Shepp, and Grachan Moncur III — Silva channels the raw, boundary-pushing energy of the New York free jazz explosion. Deluxe packaging, restored artwork, and new liner notes by Kevin Le Gendre complete this long-sought treasure. Originally released in 1969, this explo…

Between Concrete And Abstract. Gaku-No-Michi (Book)
For those who loves the piece, this is a nice way to learn more about it. For those who don't know it yet, it will be a good introduction to listen to it. Gaku-no-Michi is an electro-acoustic work of wide proportions realised in 1977-78 at the Denshi Ongaku Studio (electronic music studio) of NHK radio (Nippon Hoso Kyokai), Tokyo. This work has been programed in numerous countries by various modern music festivals, as a full evening concert, from 1978 to 2006. This publication is made of a group…
Born Again Pagans
Double CD. Infinite Fog are delighted to present another piece of the intriguing Coil puzzle. In the mid 1990s the core team of John Balance and Peter Christopherson were continuing their exploration of the outer reaches of electronic sound production as exemplified by the "Born Again Pagans" release, originally an EP only, featuring both the hugely danceable "Protection" smash which had Danny Hyde's influence writ in large letters all over it, as well as the first outings of their intriguing mo…
Two Balls Are Enough
The debut album from the duo of Finnish accordionist Kimmo Pohjonen and Swedish reedist Mats Gustafsson - both musicians have routinely blown past the rules of the traditions from which first emerged—folk and free jazz, respectively—to explore constantly expanding worlds. It was only a matter of time before these iconoclasts collided to create something wonderfully raw and unexpected.
Future Present Past
Future Present Past is the second Impulse! Records album by the free jazz collective Irreversible Entanglements. The album was largely recorded at the historic Van Gelder Studio and showcases how the quintet fuses atmospheric jazz, world music traditions, and spoken word with the story of our collective existence: a future full of possibilities, a present with all its uncertainties, and a past as a source of ancestral wisdom.
Irreversible Entanglements, formed in Brooklyn in 2015, consists of p…
