Commenti Musicali: Thrilling vol.2
Commenti Musicali: Thrilling Vol.2 presents a mosaic of Italian library music at its most eccentric: electronic soundscapes, krautrock inflections, and ambient dread. The compilation unearths rare, atmospheric pieces from the early 1980s, conjuring wired tension and spectral cinematic drama from the Contempo vaults.
Outermost Melodies
Ian Antonio discovered Jürg Frey via algorithm. About 15 years ago, SoundCloud kept leading him to the same piece, maybe Circular Music No. 2. "I wouldn't notice the piece starting but then realize I was in fact listening to it closely," he recalls. "The stillness and closeness and warmth were somewhat new to me." At the time, Antonio played "a lot of very loud and often very fast music" with groups like Wet Ink, Talujon, Zs, and Yarn/Wire. Frey's music was "very much the opposite."

Chris McGregor's Brotherhood Of Breath

This is the real deal - South African freedom music meeting British free jazz intensity in an absolute explosion of sound and spirit. Recorded in 1971, this debut captures McGregor's revolutionary vision at its most raw and uncompromising - traditional African rhythms colliding with free jazz ferocity in ways that still sound shocking today.
The lineup reads …
Live At Teater Tribunalen
Huge Tip! ** Edition of 300.** The long overdue first proper jazz album on Discreet Music! After years of releasing experimental electronics, drone, and avant-garde sound art, the Swedish label finally documents what's been happening in their own backyard: ferocious, life-elevating free jazz performed by three of Sweden's leading improvisers. Niklas Persson Trio - saxophonist Niklas Persson, double bassist Patric Thorman, and drummer Raymond Strid - started ten years ago on Thorman's initiative.…
Hlaholika
With Hlaholika, Adrian Democ offers a collection of chamber pieces unified by a focus on stillness and the unhurried unfolding of sound. Rather than chasing after overt drama, Democ’s writing reveals itself through the subtle layering of sonorities and stark, melodic lines, letting each instrument’s character shine. Apartment House brings sensitivity and patience to these recordings, allowing the music’s quiet radiance to emerge organically, rather than by force.
The album opens with “Ma fin est…
Broselmaschine
Temporary reduced price. The self-titled debut from Bröselmaschine, originally released on Pilz in 1971, stands as one of the most distinctive statements in the entire Krautrock canon. This recent reissue captures the band's remarkable fusion of acoustic folk traditions with electric experimentation - a sound that emerged from the fertile German underground scene but carved its own unique path.
Led by guitarist Peter Bursch (who would later become a legendary figure in German folk music), the gr…
Huys Opnamen
*50 copies limited edition* Venediktos Tempelboom is the alias of Gentenaar Benwa Meneers. Using the 12-string guitar as his main instrument, the self-taught musician takes fingerpicking Americana and Eastern transcendence into the Flanders fields with spiraling compositions that often drip with dark drone melancholia. 'Huys Opnamen' contains a selection of his home recordings from 2019 - 2020. The five pieces are Venediktos Tempelboom at his purest: raw, eerie and at times with a sly sense of h…

In the Depth of Illusion: A Soundtrack for Nervous Magic Lantern
"Ken Jacobs, an essential figure of avant-garde cinema, and I had over-a-decade-long collaboration. We first performed fo his Nervous Magic Lantern project at the Argos Festival in Brussels in 2007. Before flying to Europe, Ken invited me to the top-floor loft on Chambers Street in TriBeCa, where Ken and his wife, Flo, have lived and worked since 1965, to experience a private screening. He turned on the apparatus and the image flashed onto the screen: geometric patterns — something of a Rorschac…
Sabiha Sabiya
** Special mirroring/holographic cover. Edition of 300 copies ** On the same path as Baraka, Klaus Wiese (Popol Vuh) continues his intimate spiritual journey into healing and cosmic drone music. Like its predecessor, this work originally appeared on tape for Aquamarin Verlag (1982). Sabiya means bright, shining, an oriental wind that suggests feminine power; Sabiha is therefore she who manifests beauty and grace. Shaheena is indicative of gentle and soft, while Shahira embodies and represents t…
Spiral Insana
Limited and numbered edition of 1000 copies on black vinyl. Probably one of Nurse With Wounds most deep and mysterious recordings, with 4 indexed tracks containing 20 listed sequences. Such is Steven Stapleton's Nurse With Wound. The music contained here in, still having it's surreal edge, is more ambient and user friendly than on many other Nurse With Wound outings. Stapleton and guests, Robert Haigh and David Jackman mix prepared piano, percussion, loops and various bric a brac together int…
Improvisation Sep. 1975
**Ltd. 300 copies, perfect replica of the original packaging and newly remastered for optimal sound.** Toshi Ichiyanagi, Michael Ranta and Takehisa Kosugi originally got together in the summer of 1975 for an open-air concert in Sapporo. The concert felt like a great success but was unfortunately not recorded. As the desire arose to record together, they managed to arrange a studio session in the NHK Studio in Tokyo, with presence of sound engineers. What was supposed to be a soundcheck for this …
Round Sky
Round Sky brings together Léo Dupleix and Asterales in an exploration of just intonation and radiant calm. The album’s three compositions subtly merge analogue synthesizer, harpsichord, spinet, bass, flute, and guitar in landscapes of nuanced minimalism. Methodical in structure yet alive to spontaneous beauty, the record unfolds as a quietly luminous meditation on the complexities of harmony and texture.
7 Stücke / 1998
*300 copies limited edition* The open spaces in East Berlin that emerged for a handful of years in the 1990s, after the fall of the Berlin wall, have shown to be a fertile ground for musical and artistic experimentators to develop their play and showcase their findings, and to work together in ways that would have been impossible anywhere else. In retrospect, the reductionist brand of improvisation that has become known as Echtzeitmusik (real-time music) seems to overshadow other achievements, t…
Back In The HCA
*2025 stock. 150 copies limited edition* In 1972, four design students at the now defunct Hornsey College of Art (HCA) in London decided to make a record; neither the result of nascent dreams of stardom nor of fastidiously developed musi-cianship. Bowes Road Band’s sole LP was simply the result of an impulse to create. With only fifty copies originally pressed, the LP’s Berlin flea market discovery revealed a foray into a delicately balanced world of psycho-trip meltdowns, rich jazz improvisatio…

Another Thought was the first collection of Arthur Russell’s music to be released after his death in 1992. Released on CD by Point Music in 1993 it marked the beginning of nearly 30 years of work to let the world hear the enormous archive of unreleased recordings Arthur left behind.

This is the only place where you can hear some of Arthur’s most recognisable music, like the titl…
Model Express
Cindy Lee, the performance and songwriting vehicle of Canadian artist Patrick Flegel (who fronted influential indie group Women earlier), previously stunned listeners with Act Of Tenderness, a heart-wrenching statement informed by the noirish core of celebrity, and has continued to enchant with every album, including the startling What's Tonight To Eternity released earlier this year.
Model Express originally appeared as a self-released edition of 100 gold cassettes. The arch, filmic drama of Ci…
