Recordings 83 - 88
Huge tip! It was a cold winter's night in late 1978 when Chris Connelly, fourteen years old, lay in bed with his radio and heard Throbbing Gristle's Hamburger Lady for the first time. It changed his life permanently. He had already been making sounds at home on a reel-to-reel tape recorder, building loops and feedback, using shortwave radio in the middle of the night, with no instruments and no desire for any. He had also been obsessively scouring record shops guided by a copy of Zig Zag magazin…

Irreparable Parables
On Irreparable Parables, Andrew Wasylyk invites a choir of kindred voices into his gently haunted sound world, turning his childhood‑warm, strings‑and‑Rhodes miniatures into a series of quietly radiant songs about fragility, hope and the stubborn endurance of feeling.

Bonnet) returns to Shelter Press after Swamps / Things, Shifted in Dreams, and the recent reissue of the classic Zauberberg, co-composed with Akira Rabelais and Stephan Mathieu. With this major new album, entitled Sub Re, Bonnet continues his long exploration of the musical possibilities of sound, extending the concrete approach developed at the Groupe de Recherches Musicales, the historic and essential Parisian studio that Bonnet has been directing since 2018.

Of Queues And Cures
First-ever vinyl reissue. Half-speed mastered. By the time National Health entered Ridge Farm Studio in July 1978 to record their second album, the Canterbury scene was already supposed to be over. Soft Machine had splintered. Caravan had gone pop. Hatfield and the North, whose final line-up supplied three-quarters of National Health's core, had disbanded two years earlier. And yet here, at the supposed tail end of a movement, four musicians produced what many consider its single most fully real…

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…
No Shadow of Turning
"A cavernous dive into a stark melancholia, ancient plaintive melodies summoned from transcendent chant, out-of-body guitar, rumbling canvas of wind, a stray dog barks either to warn or direct us to the eerie salvation beyond the wilds" - Raphi Gottesman, Buddha's Hand
Written, recorded and re-composed during a two-week residency at fara hoprich in martínkovice, czech republic, between 14 and 25 october, 2024. performed live in the forest as an improvised dimensional audio collage at "když proml…
Songs of Compassion
*300 copies limited edition* "Songs of Compassion" is a project by United States of Alchemy, bringing together Dorothy Moskowitz, Francesco Paolo Paladino and Luca Chino Ferrari in a musical landscape that moves between psychedelic balladry, chamber music and delicate electronic soundscapes. The album explores the shades of night and the subtle vibrations of an almost intangible emotional dimension, where music seems to arise from inner listening rather than from conventional compositional struc…
L-R-G / The Maze / S II Examples
On LRG/The Maze/S II Examples, Roscoe Mitchell frames three radically different constructions - a lucid brass-and-reeds trio, a labyrinthine percussion octet and a stark soprano solo - as parallel studies in space, timbre and compositional intelligence.
Ottomani
Ottomani is a project conceived by ADN and four of their friend musicians. Riccardo Sinigaglia, who had his debut album "Riflessi" on ADN. Ruggero Tajè, who made his first solo CD "Antologica 1976-1999) on ADN. Silvio Linardi & Matteo Uggeri who also had many releases on ADN.

After that the procedded track was returned to creator who was in ch…

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.
Tearing Down The Coliseum Wall
On Tearing Down The Coliseum Wall, Pink Floyd deliver The Wall in full at Nassau Coliseum on February 28, 1980, captured in a limited bootleg edition that documents one of rock's most elaborate spectacles during the album's brief, expensive first tour across three vinyl discs and Gerald Scarfe artwork.

Stria
Dr. John Chowning (b. 1934) is a pioneering computer musician, composer and professor who, in 1967, discovered the FM synthesis algorithm. This breakthrough in electronic music allowed for simple, yet rich timbres described as sounding "real." With this discovery, Chowning composed singular, dramatic electronic music and changed the timbre of music forever.
Chowning utilized the potential of computers to synthesize sounds according to programmed instructions. The composer's use of his own FM al…

Sir Richard Bishop returns for a new spontaneous six-string meshing of people’s music, recollections and psychic intentions. Are y’all ready for some Hillbilly Erotica?
Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive!
The music on Horse Lords’ Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! feels both impossibly detailed and eminently human. The album’s twelve pieces are layered and interwoven, tonally and rhythmically complex––moiré-like patterns of interaction and tessellation that play out for both mind and body, full of sonic warrens with an inescapable groove. An electrifying leap forward for the band’s shared language, Demand to Be Taken to Heaven Alive! aims to liberate the listener into a spiritual, ecstatic, and…
The Warm Garden
Tip! A pivotal force in the foundations of Noise music in Japan, Fumio Kosakai is half of The Incapacitants, and has recorded with other acts such as Hijokaidan, CCCC, and Club Skull. Originally released on cassette in an edition of fifty copies in 1993, "The Warm Garden" is a pinacle for collectors of 90s noise and the outer realms of Japanese psychadelia. The work steps away from the denshi zatsuon (electronic noise) of his other groups and instead comprises two pieces of minimal electronics, …
