Like Swallowing Eclipses
VERY last copies!!! - The first 500 mail-order copies version that includes the playable full-color picture-postcard reproducing David Tibet's painting of the track Like Swallowing SunBeams, inserted in risograph-printed CandyBag. The box set essentially represents a dark ambient/industrial re-imagination of Current 93's early apocalyptic works, where Andrew Liles has extracted and amplified the most disturbing and ritualistic elements, creating soundscapes that function as sonic invocations rat…
Funky Thang / Keep On Coming
This 7" single showcases a dynamic collaboration between B.C. & The Blazers featuring the soulful vocals of Rickey Calloway and the vibrant energy of Rise. On the A-side, "Funky Thang" delivers a groovy blend of classic funk rhythms, tight guitar riffs, and infectious horn lines, making it an irresistible dancefloor mover.

Hiraeth
“Hiraeth,” the second collaborative album by Sofie Birch and Antonina Nowacka, explores longing for the intangible. Inspired by Welsh “hiraeth,” the duo’s acoustic improvisations—recorded in Sokołowsko and Copenhagen—prioritize vulnerability, nature, and analog warmth, crafting music that feels alive and deeply connected.
Seddok, L'Erede di Satana
In 1960, when Armando Trovajoli composed the soundtrack for Anton Giulio Majano's horror film Seddok, L'Erede Di Satana (known internationally as Atom Age Vampire and Lycanthropus), the landscape of electronic music was still in its infancy. The Moog synthesizer wouldn't reach commercial availability until 1964. Wendy Carlos' groundbreaking Switched-On Bach was still eight years away. Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, and the entire krautrock movement lay a decade in the future. Yet here was Trovajoli…
Melle-Aan-Zee
Melle-Aan-Zee is the latest lo-fi recorded collection of improvised pieces by Ghent-based occasional psych folk, kraut infused jam collective De Regering Van Treffelijke Zaken, which seems to continue to give birth to compositions that defy convention and exceed expectations. Just as their sporadic meet-ups seemingly cannot be planned, their enigmatic worlds of sound unfold through pure improvisation, sense of experimentation, a confluence of coincidences and reasoned skits. There's a special ki…
Paris 1942
"Difficult as it may be to imagine, there was a time when Sun City Girls did not exist. Prior to the Bishop brothers teaming up with drummer/shaman Charlie Gocher to form SCG's classic trio lineup, there were various ad-hoc assemblages of local Phoenix-area freaks and weirdos – groups which existed only long enough to play a single gig, open mic or house party before disbanding without a trace. Hatched from this milieu was Paris 1942, a short-lived band formed by guitarist Jesse Srogoncik that i…
Why I Went To The Woods
With "Why I Went To The Woods", I retreated once again into my hauntological dream worlds. With the woods being the place one traditionally goes to clear one's head, I went there with these recordings to fortify myself with a deliberate rejection of the Now. Inspired equally by both the fictional filmed landscapes of psychedelic folk - the bucolic British countryside of the 1960s and 1970s which, though I've never witnessed in real life, still fill me with an inexplicable melancholic yearning to…
Creature Comforts
I started recording "Creature Comforts" with 'Allegiance' on the night of November 4th, as the election results were coming in. I found myself craving lullabies, but ugly and reflective ones, that saw the world with an acute sense of horror and bewilderment and bereavement. Lullabies that didn't protect me from these feelings - or rather did protect me, but did so through immersion. I finished recording on March 10th of 2025. Visual inspiration came from a series of mixed-media works by my gifte…
Poems From A Rooftop
Oliver Doerell and Roger Doering's Dictaphone might not be the most prolific project around, but what they lack in frequency they make up for in sheer impact. 'Poems from a rooftop' is their third album in ten years, and is the first to feature new member Alexander Stolze on violin. The dusty, haunted jazz of 'M.=addiction' and 'Vertigo II' is still visible, but joined by Stolze's shimmering string tones, giving the already rich sound a further layer of depth.
The title 'Poems from a rooftop' co…
The Complete Pharoah Sanders Theresa Recordings
The Complete Pharoah Sanders Theresa Recordings reveals the revolutionary saxophonist's misunderstood 1980s period. Seven discs capture Sanders integrating avant-garde fire with melodic tradition, featuring collaborators like John Hicks, Elvin Jones, and Bobby Hutcherson. Essential rediscovery of an artistic evolution long dismissed by critics but blazing with spiritual intensity and technical innovation.
Transference
In the ever-expanding constellation of transnational electroacoustic collaboration, Marja Ahti and Manja Ristić present Transference, a profound investigation into the movement and transformation of energy between distant practices and places, arriving August 8, 2025 via Erstwhile Records. Transference emerges as what the artists describe as "a dialogue of sonic gestures and traces of visits to places and the spirit that occupies them." This collaboration transcends geographical boundaries to cr…
shades
Boston-based composer Nomi Epstein makes her debut on Another Timbre with this portrait album featuring three chamber works composed between 2011 and 2023. Influenced by the New York School, Fluxus, Pauline Oliveros's Sonic Meditations, and the Wandelweiser collective, Epstein has developed a distinctive compositional voice centered on sonic fragility and textural subtlety.
The album opens with the title piece shades, a 20-minute string quartet written specifically for Apartment House in 2023. T…
10
2023 marks the tenth year of Music From Memory; a decade of groundbreaking archival releases, cross-generational collaborations and long-standing creative partnerships with our ever-expanding community of artists. To celebrate this milestone, earlier this year we asked our roster of artists to submit a piece of music for an anniversary compilation. As submissions gradually came in, we were blown away by what we received and slowly began to piece them together into what was to become “10”. Featur…
Music For The Film "Who I Am"
Misha Panfilov's "Music For The Film 'Who I Am'" is a soundtrack composed for Sofia Kruusamägi's short dance film. The music is characterized by repetitive rhythms and patterns, a deep groove, and a blend of hypnotic and evocative sounds that reflect the artistic and emotional depth of the film. Originally recorded in June 2021, it was released as a lathe cut in 2022 and showcases Panfilov's skills as a composer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. The soundtrack captures the film's introspecti…
Strategic Structures
Strategic Structures unites Kat Epple, Bob Stohl, and Robert Rauschenberg in a 1989 suite where metallic sculptures and lush electronics intertwine. The album’s twenty-nine-minute arc traverses foreboding and angelic timbres, forging a resonant dialogue between new age ambience and avant-garde architectural sound.
Ossification
2025 Stock. 180g vinyl with insert. Ossification is like an amazing party held at This Heat's Cold Storage studio, with friends like Felix Fiedorowicz, Tom Cora, Tim Hodgkinson, Bill Gilonis, Zeena Parkins, and Catherine Jauniaux creating one of the most unusual, pleasurable and character-filled "pop" records you'll ever hear. Recorded at Cold Storage in Brixton between 1983-84, this debut album from Mick Hobbs' project stands as a timeless anomaly: fourteen songs that contain the spirit of pop,…
The Vestige
The Vestige is the first fruit of a new intergenerational collaboration between Giuseppe Ielasi, a quietly prolific key contributor to the European experimental music scene for over twenty years, and Jack Sheen, a young composer-conductor-sound artist from Manchester whose recent projects have seen him moving seamlessly from enigmatic chamber music composition and installations to conducting the London Symphony Orchestra.
Their materials and working methods differ significantly, with Ielasi havi…
Theusz Hamtaahk - Trilogie Au Trianon
A monumental document of Magma at their most powerful! Recorded over two nights during the band's 30th anniversary celebration at the Trianon theater in Paris (May 13-14, 2000), this is the first and only recording to present the complete Theusz Hamtaahk trilogy in its entirety: "Theusz Hamtaahk" ("Time of Hatred"), "Ẁurdah Ïtah" ("Dead Earth"), and the legendary "Mëkanïk Dëstruktïẁ Kömmandöh". Founded by visionary drummer-composer Christian Vander in 1969, Magma created one of the most unique a…
Himawari
Meditative synthesizer work from former Ippu-Do keyboardist Akira Mitake. Created as soundtrack for NHK's 1987 documentary series on Japanese art history, Himawari represents a masterful exercise in restraint and space. Following the dissolution of his new wave partnership with Masami Tsuchiya, Mitake turns inward, crafting minimal electronic pieces that capture the essence of traditional Japanese aesthetics through modern means. Sparse keyboards and subtle pads create atmospheric textures throu…
