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 …
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…
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…
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…
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 …
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.
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…
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…
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…
Nightshades
On Nightshades, Celestial Hex step out of Berlin’s mist with a sleek strain of electro‑noir: neon‑bleeding synths, darkwave pulse and vampiric hooks that feel custom‑built for creatures of the night raised on grainy 80s cult cinema.
Black Ark (Book)
Black Ark is a 600‑page visual and textual immersion into Lee “Scratch” Perry’s legendary Kingston studio, assembled by Ishion Hutchinson, Kodwo Eshun, Lee Scratch Perry and Veerle Poupeye: a dense, collaged “house‑book” where dub’s sonic revolution is mirrored in murals, talismanic objects and layered histories.

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…
Malarial Dream
On Malarial Dream, Alvarius B. drifts out of Cairo with a fevered, mostly instrumental songbook that bends late‑period Sun City Girls melancholy through Middle Eastern modes, psych‑warped folk and the quiet volatility of a hand‑picked Cairo/avant‑jazz ensemble.
Rest In Peace: The Final Concert
On Rest In Peace: The Final Concert, Bauhaus capture their 1983 Hammersmith Palais swan song across two discs, delivering gothic rock's founding quartet - Peter Murphy, Daniel Ash, David J and Kevin Haskins - at their theatrical, darkly charged peak before dissolving into legend.
Songs Before Bed (2022)
Songs Before Bed (2022) marks Otto Benson’s first physical release under his own name, following earlier work under aliases including Memo Boy, OTTO, and Pudding Club.
Originally published as a digital-only release through Otto's own WNOADIARWB website and platforms on New Year's Eve 2022, Songs Before Bed bridges the gap between the more experimental psychedelic electronic works of OTTO and his most recent release, the acclaimed Peanut, released on NYE 2025. Blending brief pop fragments with me…
Dedans / Dehors
An exercise in musique concrète in the Luc Ferrari sense: not soundscape, not reportage, but the deliberate assemblage by montage and superposition of recorded sequences drawn from disparate origins, composed into a continuity that functions as sonic narrative. Meirino and Duplant arrange and contradict their sources so that the listener has to construct the story: recognition of materials and interpretation of their succession become themselves part of the compositional event.
For Baritone Sax, Double Bass & Drumset
This 2013 meeting of baritone saxophonist Daunik Lazro, bassist Joëlle Léandre, and drummer Paul Lovens is a deep dive into spontaneous creation at the highest level of free improvisation, uniting three of Europe’s most adventurous and seasoned improvisers. Drawing on decades of individual and collaborative experience within the global improvised music scene, the album explores extended dialogues across timbre, texture, and breath, where Lazro’s rich, expressive saxophone language meets Léandre’…
Unfamiliar Music (Paris)
Sparkling or Silent finds crys cole and Oren Ambarchi pausing their restless, always‑on‑the-move discographies at a curious angle, as if turning the light slightly to see what has been glinting at the edges all along. Both artists have long carried an electroacoustic sensibility in their work - in cole’s hyper‑attentive treatment of small sounds and negative space, in Ambarchi’s use of guitar and electronics as malleable matter rather than fixed instruments - but here that sensibility becomes th…
