Xerrox
Tip! Noton releases the Limited Edition CD Box Set of Alva Noto’s Xerrox series. Pioneering in his approach to digital sound and its materiality, Alva Noto (Carsten Nicolai) began his ongoing exploration of sampling, degradation and recontextualisation with the Xerrox series in 2007. Over the years, the project has evolved into one of the most distinctive bodies of work in contemporary electronic music, situated between minimalism, experimental sound art and digital abstraction.

Live at Rockpalast (1982)
The concert was filmed on June 4th, 1982 at Sartory Säle in Cologne (Germany) during the 82' Collision Drive tour. In 1981 Alan Vega had released his second solo LP under the title Collison Drive. It forms part of the "play loud! (live) music series". The “play loud (live) music series“ is based on three precepts: Alan Lomax´s work as an archivist and chronicler, John Peel´s BBC radio sessions, and the work of Direct Cinema pioneers, such as the Maysles Brothers, Leacock, Wildenhahn, Blank and P…

Africa / Brass
In 1961 John Coltrane joined the newly founded Impulse! label. The great saxophonist was coming off several impactful albums (Giant Steps) and a very notable — even commercial — success: that My Favorite Things which had made his soprano sax one of the “new sounds” that marked a turning year for jazz, the fateful 1959. Some people — despite obvious clues to the contrary — speculated a turn, if not toward commerciality, at least toward more palatable music: a Coltrane in some ways comparable to P…
Musica 109. Lezioni sulla Musica Sperimentale
Italian edition. "Music 109" prende il nome dall'aula della Wesleyan University dove Alvin Lucier ha insegnato per oltre quarant'anni. Il libro nasce da quelle lezioni, e ne conserva il tono: quello di un compositore che ti siede accanto e ti spiega, pezzo per pezzo, come funzionano le musiche più radicali del secondo Novecento americano. Nessun gergo accademico. Nessuna distanza critica. Solo la voce di qualcuno che c'era - che ha conosciuto John Cage, suonato con Robert Ashley, condiviso il pa…
2.25
Composed and recorded during tough times in 2025. Using compressed air, percussion instruments, piano and samples, Alessandro Brivio explores varied and extreme approaches to sound processing, diffusion, recording and re-composition, as a tribute to a lost friend.
Il Clan Dei Siciliani
CAM Sugar is proud to announce the definitive release of the original soundtrack composed by Ennio Morricone for Il clan dei siciliani (The Sicilian Clan) by Henri Verneuil (1969), one of the most celebrated European noir films of the late 1960s, starring Jean Gabin, Alain Delon, and Lino Ventura.
Geschrieben in Wasser
On geschrieben in wasser., Klaus Lang pares the piano quartet down to a faintly breathing organism, letting soft, slowly shifting harmonies hover at the edge of audibility like something written on water just before it disappears.
Instruments of Forgetting and the Singing Bone
This project is a dynamic exploration of songwriting from an instrumentalist’s perspective. Rather than following a fixed path, it fluctuates—drifting between the sonic possibilities of instrumental textures, timbral exploration, and sound processing. These elements give rise to evolving patterns: from abstract soundscapes to clear, repetitive melodies and canons. The music weaves together experimental, improvised, contemporary influences mixing with avant- pop creating a collage of shifting moo…
vd5
Vladislav Delay, primarily known as a highly regarded electronic music innovator, steps ahead with his acoustic jazz quintet. Echoing the forward-looking vd musical vision always ahead of the curve, the new album does not fit into any specific category, forging a path of its own across the 10 tracks. Recorded at Candybomber Studio in Berlin, the album brings vd together with Maria Bertel, Lucio Capece, Derek Shirley and Max Loderbauer. This is shape-shifting, elastic music that exists left of an…
Balladyna
On Balladyna, Tomasz Stanko leads Tomasz Szukalski, Dave Holland and Edward Vesala through seven originals that weld lyrical, Slavic melancholy to volcanic free‑jazz undercurrents, forging a 1970s European classic that still feels startlingly alive.
Before There Was Sound
On Before There Was Sound, Roscoe Mitchell’s 1965 quartet with Fred Berry, Malachi Favors and Alvin Fielder captures the AACM language in embryo: sharp themes, free rhythm and a restless sense of form already pushing past hard‑bop borders.
Vol.3
On Vol.3, Heimito Künst abandons drift for brutal repetition, channeling Thomas Bernhard and 19th‑century auditory therapy into a krautrock‑acid vortex where Moog, Mellotron and pounding drum machines turn obsessive sonic loops into a deeply psychedelic, physically overwhelming ritual.
Nimbus West CD megabundle
Specially priced bundle drawn from the catalog of Nimbus West, the American label widely regarded as the greatest single depository of West Coast avant-garde jazz. With the label's future uncertain and no represses planned, this is a final opportunity to explore one of the most vital and visionary corners of recorded jazz before it disappears from circulation for good. The bundle also includes The Tapscott Sessions Vol. 8, a touching tribute to Adele Sebastian and one of the most beautiful entri…
Loveless
* Black vinyl in gatefold sleeve, inners + printed inner sleeve * my bloody valentine, the quartet of Bilinda Butcher, Kevin Shields, Deb Googe and Colm Ó Cíosóig, are widely revered as one of the most ground-breaking and influential groups of the past forty years. During an era in which guitar bands denoted, at best, a retro-classicism, not only did my bloody valentine sound unlike any of their contemporaries, the band achieved the rare feat of sounding like the future. The second my bloody va…
Generation
On Generation, Hal Russell’s NRG Ensemble collides with Charles Tyler to turbo‑charge its already volatile chemistry, turning multi‑author charts into a raucous, shape‑shifting suite of free‑jazz blowouts, sly grooves and side‑eyed melody.
So Far / It's a Bit of Pain
First reissue of Faust's only 7", originally released only in Germany, France, and the UK in 1972. This reissue bears the original artwork and was remastered by Faust member Hans-Joachim Irmler from the original recordings. Both tracks are non-LP versions. It is said that "It's a Bit of Pain" was John Peel's favorite Faust track. Archive your music on vinyl! "So Far’ is an instrumental: a simple rhythm chugs along, a sax stabs away, guitars and synth wail in and out. It’s a mesmerising drone, th…
Warm Waves
‘Warm Waves’ first appeared in 2020, ten years after Turn On The Sunlight’s debut self-titled album was first released in Japan. During that decade, Turn On The Sunlight’s Jesse Peterson and Mia Doi Todd welcomed their first child and co-founded a music venue in Los Angeles. When performance spaces were required to close at the start of the pandemic, Jesse’s focus shifted back towards home recording. Since ‘Warm Waves,’ five more Turn On The Sunlight albums have followed (including ‘Drives To Th…
Cold Tape
101 Copies. Recorded in the autumn of 1980 and originally issued the same year on Andrew Cox's YHR Tapes in the United Kingdom, Cold Tape marks the moment Maurizio Bianchi's music first crossed the Channel into the British industrial underground. After a feverish run of self-released cassettes that spring and summer under the MB name, working from his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, Bianchi entered into correspondence with the small network of European cassette imprints that had begun to…
