Vauville
Debut album by the young Belgian composer Ryan Van Haesendonck, mastered by Stephan Mathieu. The pieces grew from a week spent on the quiet beaches of Normandy, then continued in Brussels after his move from Antwerp. The vocabulary combines field recordings of church bells, improvised organ sessions, urban recordings of the new city and saxophone passages by Silke Bull, layered into eight short pieces. Cinema-informed ambient on the theme of solitude and self-preservation.
Dialoghi del Presente
Naples, 1977. Luciano Cilio's sole recorded work is pure magic - four "quadri" where strings, woodwinds, wordless voices and solitary guitar trace the edges of silence. Closer to Arvo Pärt and Morton Feldman than to any Italian prog, yet entirely its own universe. Music that breathes, suspends time, breaks your heart without raising its voice. Decades ahead of its time. First ever remaster from the original tapes.
Next To Nothing
Black Editions presents the expanded and definitive edition of White Heaven's brilliant third album Next to Nothing. Originally released in 1994 by Tokyo's Noon Disk, the full album was only ever available in a limited vinyl pressing of 250 copies. Since then, it has become one of the most sought-after artifacts of the '90s Japanese underground and is regarded as a highpoint of Japanese psychedelic rock.
Led by vocalist, songwriter and conceptualist You Ishihara, the album finds the group in a…
Archives Box 1983-2005
A spellbinding five-CD box set documenting the entire enigmatic production of one of the missing links in experimental electronic and prototypical industrial music: Anne Gillis. From her groundbreaking 1983 Devil's Picnic release through her 2005 installations and exhibitions, this comprehensive collection unveils the hidden world of a visionary French composer whose work anticipated much of what would follow in electroacoustic composition and sound art.
Since the early 1980s, Manon Anne Gillis …
Istanbul Groove
A raw, groove-driven selection of previously overlooked 1990s recordings by legendary Turkish jazz impresario Okay Temiz, compiled here for the first time.
In The Mist
Harold Budd is a one of a kind modern neo-classical artist creating high-callibre and complex music with unique and subtle tension and abstraction, and simultaneous almost-pastoral but as-often otherworldly mood.
Electronic Cottage - The Complete Collection (Book, Hardcover)
Hardcover, 468 pages, 21×27 cm! In the wake of his Cause And Effect cassette label and distribution service, Hal McGee launched Electronic Cottage International Magazine. From 1989 to 1991, its six issues focused on the independent home recording community – artists who had developed their craft in the post-punk DIY era. The contributors were nearly all members of the hometaper community. The magazine featured articles providing helpful tips and highlighted the challenges hometapers faced. It in…
Rock För Kropp Och Själ
Expanded Content: Includes a Bonus LP of rare live material from Denmark and Gothenburg. "Rock för kropp och själ" stands as the final, definitve statement from Träd, Gräs och Stenar during their original tenure with the legendary Silence label. By 1972, the band had reached a breaking point. After five years of relentless touring - defined by marathon three-to-four-hour performances delivered four or five nights a week - the collective was physically and creatively spent. The weight of expectat…
Everybody Else's Life Too
Were you to tap the lifeblood of Chicago music, you would find Josh Berman flowing liberally through its veins. Active on the scene for more than a quarter century, the cornetist, bandleader, and composer has helped retain the unique flavor of the city's soundscape, with particular attention to the music of its jazz past – groups like the Austin High Gang and the Oliver-Armstrong lineage and Freddie Keppard, as well as more recent figures from Lester Bowie to Wadada Leo Smith.
But Berman is more…
My Shadow
One of the most striking and enigmatic works to appear on Discreet Music in recent years. There is a long tradition of artists who have tried to set scripture to music and failed magnificently - the failure itself becoming the subject, the wound becoming the work. Carrie DeCunzo Mirande's debut album belongs to this lineage. In the twenty-four days before Christmas 2024, she read the twenty-four chapters of the Book of Luke and attempted to respond in sound. Two piano pieces emerged - one inspir…
Einsjaeger & Siebenjaeger
Among the most luminous records ever issued by Popol Vuh, and one of the high points in the singular spiritual arc traced by Florian Fricke across more than three decades of work. Esoteric, reissuing the album on vinyl on July 31st, 2026 in a fresh cut prepared at AIR Studios, London, returns to print one of the essential statements of 1970s German music.
By the time Fricke entered the studio in Munich in 1974 with Daniel Fichelscher on guitars and percussion, Djong Yun on vocals, and Olaf Küble…
Lights shimmered like whispers in the depths of the trees
Textures of belonging, relentlessly woven into the epigenetics, layer upon layer, building palimpsests of human existence that are both fragile and resilient, with nothing but a wobbly strand of DNA. The way our grandparents' experiences spill across our systems, the way their grandparents’ experiences formed them in the first place, like a busy cityscape humming in the background, keeping the flow, making things operate, and despite their physical peril, hearts still flicker and divulge poetry …
A Frauta De Pã
Big tip! Fifty years on, and it still sounds like a secret. Carlos Walker's A Frauta de Pã remains one of those rare Brazilian albums that collectors circle obsessively, its original RCA Victor pressings commanding reverence - and prices - entirely disproportionate to the world's awareness of it. That wait is now over.
Recorded in 1975, when Walker was just 19 years old, A Frauta de Pã arrived at a precise confluence in Brazilian music - that charged mid-decade moment when MPB (Música Popular Br…
Mushin
On Mushin, Susana Santos Silva and Vasco Trilla strip trumpet and percussion down to pure responsiveness, letting sound arise and vanish like breath in a Zen exercise, where every gesture feels both unpremeditated and utterly focused.
Kilkenny Electroacoustic Research Laboratory Anthology Vol. 3 - The Stray Sod
The Kilkenny Electroacoustic Research Laboratory (K.E.R.L.) announces the release of the third and final volume of its acclaimed anthology, a richly layered exploration of experimental sound, artistic collaboration, and the cultural phenomena orbiting the enigmatic Kiely cousins, Owen and Tom. Bringing the series to a compelling close, this volume bridges archival research, oral history, and critical reflection, tracing the roots and reverberations of a uniquely Irish avant-garde movement. The b…
Unfold Yourself
Fourth release by Petrovic on the label, distancing himself from the GEST instrument to re-explore conventional means. Seven pieces narrate an emotional arc - Disrupt, Obstruct, Shatter, Rejuvenate, Illuminate, Erupt, Arise - through which a Petrovic-figure works back out of an extended depression. The vocabulary moves from Moog-like dark tones and metallic percussion through bowed-guitar ambient writing to almost danceable beats in the closing pieces. A study of recovery in compositional form.
Industrial tape
This is where it begins. Recorded in May 1980 and self-released the same year as catalogue number 01, Industrial Tape is the founding document of the MB project, the first cassette Maurizio Bianchi issued under his new name after closing the Sacher-Pelz chapter. Working alone in his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, twenty-four years old, equipped with little more than an analogue synthesiser, a tape machine, and a small bank of effects, Bianchi laid down four pieces that would set in moti…
Sowas von egal. 3 German Synth Wave Underground 1981-1986
LP version. With Sowas von Egal Vol 3, the Hamburg-based Damaged Goods DJ team continues its compilation series on Bureau B, once again turning its attention to the underground scenes of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland in the early 1980s. The selected tracks originate from a period in which, alongside the commercial Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW), a number of innovative and often more abrasive bands and artists operated outside the mainstream. They combined influences from new wave, synthwave, post…
Oaxaca Dawn | Bamboo
**Edition of 250** Elevator Bath's ongoing series of picture disc LPs (each record being adorned with full-color artwork by the recording artist) continues with Tom Recchion's lovely 'Oaxaca Dawn | Bamboo.' Originally slated for release nearly ten years ago, this pair of humble field recordings is now finally available. 'Oaxaca Dawn' and 'Bamboo' are two raw, unadulterated, and unpretentious snapshots of specific moments in time and space: the early morning cracking of dawn in Oaxaca, Mexico and…
