Two of the most legendary industrial noise artists break down and grind into dust with mortar and pestle each other's sounds, thoughts, and silence into a textural collapse that could very well be the discovery of new kinds of static, new kinds of fuzz and new kinds of words that might never be spoken but fall into the ravine of spears. Presented in grim recycled board with spot gloss jacket and inner print on clear vinyl.
Premiered at 20th Annual San Francisco Electronic Music Festival (SFEMF) as a multichannel piece, spatialized through the exclusive 32-channel system of Envelop SF, alongside a piece by Jim O’Rourke

Further Shadows: Essays on British Modern Jazz 1950-1975 presents an eclectic overview of perhaps the most vibrant era in the music’s development in the UK, a time when modern jazz consolidated its base, got buffeted by the fads of early rock and roll of R&B, found itself battered by Beatlemania and even faced an onslaught from pernicious forces within its own ranks. Covering fifteen years in which the schools of cool, hard bop and the avant-garde each fought for primacy, these pages record the …

This publication marks the first instalment in a new series that brings the history of Dutch electronic music to life for a broad audience.

Unique discoveries from the archive. For far too long, twentieth-century Dutch elec…
Two of Henning Christiansen’s tape works from the 1980’s, Peter der Große op. 174 (1986) and Gudbrandsdal op. 178 (1987), are now released for the first time by the Institute for Danish Sound Archaeology.
Recorded at a pivotal moment in his trajectory, M.U.U.N.H. 31.04.1982 captures Maurizio Bianchi refining sound into a stark environment rather than a composition. Static yet volatile, it strips electronics to bare impulses, anticipating isolationist ambient and dark drone while remaining rooted in the brutal materiality of early industrial experimentation.
With Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems, the ever elusive and shape-shifting Thomas Bush offers up a new album of category scrambling song craft. Since earlier solo efforts like Old And Red (2018), Preludes (2022) and The Next 60 Years (2024), Bush—currently based in Malmö—has traced a digressive path that has proven him capable of everything from murky wobbling dirges to uptight head-bopping laments to crystalline synth chords that hang precariously in the air over your new favourite bass …
Ancient Future is a stop on an ongoing quest of sample creation, manipulation, recombination, and morphological transformation through the modular synthesizer. Densely interconnected sound matter moves between islands of respite in a sea of incomprehensibility, grasping but not yet arriving. The ancient future is a place. It is the meeting point between the light piercing through the dark, fragmented state of our present reality. This album is an attempt to materialize this place in sonic form.
Sewer Election is an act which at this point requires no introduction - a mainstay of the Swedish and International noise community for decades. "Cadavres Électroniques" is a new collaboration between Sewer Election and Aziza - a hidden gem in the Gothenburg underground that emerged out of the scene around Longest Night a few years back, creating pitch black, cold and slow moving ambient music reminiscent of Maurizio Bianchi at his bleakest (read: Endometrio and such). A surreal blend of rudimen…
* 180g vinyl housed in tip-on sleeve + download code * Swiss saxophonist Gilles Torrent, perhaps known from our recent Spiritual Jazz collection 'A Tribute to 'Trane', leads the way with his new album 'Buleria'; a mesmerizing set of modal jazz pieces that will speak directly to any listener who has felt the other-worldly depths of John Coltrane. The album comprises of Torrent originals and explorations of John Coltrane standards. It reaches for something beyond the mundane, and blends complex ha…
*150 copies limited edition* “Of Grey Grounds” explores an intermediate state, neither alive nor dead, neither fully real nor entirely abstract. The “grey grounds” are conditions of existence shaped by erosion, repetition, and absence. The album moves through inner and cosmic landscapes stripped of identity, where everything is reduced to trace, echo, or residue. Matter loses definition; forms dissolve into a suspended continuum where memory and perception can no longer preserve clear contours. …
Sinsuke Fujieda Group recorded Fukushima at Groove Studio Matsudo in May 2023. When Superfly Records put it out on vinyl in the spring of 2025 the thousand copies vanished within days, two further pressings followed, and copies on the second-hand market are now asking three figures. This CD is the record the LP could not hold: the five compositions restored to their full unedited length, three flute pieces that had only ever appeared digitally, and Jiva, a previously unheard piece for bamboo cla…
A classic album recorded in 1976, featuring a superb lineup including Sam Jones, Kazumi Watanabe, and Fumio Karashima, with expansive cello solos. Highlights include an exhilarating duo number with the seasoned bassist Sam Jones, as well as Kazumi Watanabe’s hip guitar solos throughout.
Label Introduction: East Wind was a groundbreaking jazz label established in 1974 through the full cooperation of Ai Music, as it was then known, and Nippon Phonogram, as it was then known. Over a period of about…
Insane," or in French, "un truc de malade": expressions often used to describe a strange work of art, a daring piece of architecture, or an experimental piece of music. It’s a comment that should be taken figuratively: not necessarily pejorative, and most often even positive. In contrast, the music of this album reflects a "sick" theme in the true sense of the word, as the two protagonists chose to resume their twenty-year collaboration in the antechamber of a hematologist's office.
The album’s …
Even with just basic knowledge of the conditions of the totalitarian regime in the former Czechoslovak Socialist Republic (ČSSR), it is not difficult to understand why the project Maťkovia was never allowed to release anything officially during its existence from 1982 to 1987. The ironic, nihilistic lyrics full of dark humor, describing the despair and greyness of the normalization era in Bratislava in the 1980s simply had no chance of passing through the censorship at the time. The work of the …

Edition of 120 copies. The missing chapter, at last. Two of the most elusive records in the Alga Marghen catalog - one-sided LPs pressed in editions of 80 and 29 copies, available only inside long since vanished boxsets - are finally united on a single LP. Oeuvres sonores completes the series of records issued in relation to alga marghen's presentation of the work of Charlotte Moorman at the Centre Pompidou between 2008 and 2013, and appears in a final edition of 120 copies only. Moorman remains…
There are moments of silent depth in which the winter of the scalpel of meaning and the spring of the sound-born, unleashed body look upon the world fully present. When the notes at last are heard, the ordered world is their indistinguishable score. The ritual of process is that which carries. The process of ritual is that which brings moments both transitory and immortal, apprehended by musician, seer, clairvoyant, herald; the welling tones that emanate from the crystal salt of shattered primor…
