Bandits of Stature
Darla is pleased to offer a new record of string quartets by Harold Budd. Bandits of Stature is a first as it comprises 14 compact Budd composed string quartets played by the Formalist Quartet.
Resonance of Time
Electronic lullabies and folk songs from Ethiopia! A landmark recording from Ethiopia’s vibrant cassette era of the 1980s, Resonance of Time features pioneering composer Wesenyeleh Mebreku reimagining Ethiopian folk melodies through the humble circuitry of an early Casiotone keyboard. Historically, the works featured on Resonance of Time (የጊዜ ቃና Yegizie Kana) stand as quiet documents of Ethiopian musical memory. Many of the original songs included in this release emerged during important moments…
The Voice of the Eagle
“I don’t call a lot of my stuff far out,” Basho explained. “I just call it a different level of feeling. It’s far in, as far as I’m concerned...I spent years on the road singing folk songs that had no meaning. It dawned on me music is supposed to say something. Music is supposed to do something.” This is a Basho vocal album – his singing, which John Fahey described as “strangely compelling”, came straight from the heart and soul with no regard for restraint, phrasing or timing. Thankfully, he wa…
Reflections Vol. 3: Water Poems
** Edition of 300. Glacial Blue Vinyl ** A meeting in tidal waters. Sixteen years in the making. On Reflections Vol. 3: Water Poems, Félicia Atkinson and Christina Vantzou release their first full-length collaboration, arriving as the third installment of RVNG Intl.'s ongoing Reflections series - contemporary convergences, orchestrated with care.
The two artists first met in 2009 and have circled one another ever since, sharing stages intermittently, most notably at the Philharmonie de Paris in …
Pareidolia
Named after the tendency to impose familiar likenesses, such as faces, on random - usually inanimate - objects, Pareidolia is Jake Muir's way of interpreting the consonances between so-called “ambient” music and extreme heavy metal. Extracting the headiest, most atmospheric sections from hundreds of death metal and black metal tracks, Muir plays the role of both DJ and electroacoustic composer, concocting a lysergic elixir of fractal distortions and prolonged, decelerated riffs that slowly evapo…
Manifestations In The Shadow Of An Uncertain Land
Manifestations in the Shadow of an Uncertain Land unfolds through aleatoric composition and intuitive process, shaped by deeply entangled political and aesthetic lineages. Rooted in lived experiences of bodies and minds navigating the localized and global weight of imperialism, the work also draws from the temporal logic of film and literature, where memory, dread, and anticipation coexist. Working with voice and modular electronics, Lowe treats sound as a sculptural and cinematic force, informe…
What Color Is Love
The 1972 masterpiece by Chicago singer-songwriter and guitarist Terry Callier, returning here in the Music On Vinyl 180g audiophile edition. Cut at the heart of Callier's tenure on Cadet, the jazz imprint of Chess Records, What Color Is Love stands as the artistic peak of his collaboration with arranger and producer Charles Stepney, captured across three Cadet albums, Occasional Rain (1972), What Color Is Love and I Just Can't Help Myself (1974), plus a fourth project that was cut short by Stepn…
Intermission 6
Morton Feldman's Intermission 6 (1953) is a sparse piano piece that typically lasts between 3 and 12 minutes in standard performances. Finnish experimental musician Antti Tolvi has created a radical 72-minute realization that extends the work's meditation on silence and resonance to an unprecedented duration. Tolvi discovered the piece through Philip Thomas's five-CD Feldman Piano box set on Another Timbre, becoming fascinated by Intermission 6 as "the piece which has the most silence in it, and…
Hadayro
* Edition of 199 copies * Originally released on cassette in 1985, H·A·D·A·Y·R·O is a landmark of Japanese noise music. It documents the early vision of Solmania and the singular sonic approach of Masahiko Ohno. For years, it remained a cult artifact among collectors and underground enthusiasts. This vinyl edition renews its impact, feeling more like a rebirth than a simple reissue. Solmania was far more than a band; it was Masahiko Ohno’s personal sound laboratory. At the heart of the album are…
Crystalline Tragedies / The Procession - Distant Motionless Shore
An unusual collective release: Comes and Aldinucci composed their two pieces in complete isolation, exchanging neither studio time nor materials, but both worked from the same Nietzschean opposition - the moral codex of the Christian church against the radical surrender to emotion. Aldinucci builds his side from a single field recording of a procession in rural Tuscany; Comes's Crystalline Tragedies traces three distinct sections through the affective dimension of major life passages.
Paintings
Final work in a trilogy (Sketches, Drawings, Paintings) marking Philipp Bückle's return to music after closing his Teamforest project. Recorded in 2014 across Copenhagen and Dortmund, the album combines a visually organic sensibility with experimental composition, the titles functioning as discrete sound paintings spanning warm September evenings, rainy days, a seascape, a wedding. Mastered for vinyl by Stephan Mathieu. Ambient drone abstraction grounded in figurative diaristic detail.
Ridge Of Humming Spoils
Final volume of Haarvöl's trilogy. After the noisy beginning of Bombinate and the move toward the periphery of Peripherad Debris, the trio arrives at the frontier as a psychoanalytic empty signifier: an edge that holds both interior and exterior. The album is built from what they call 'whispering remains', material left behind by previous compositional decisions, here treated as a vantage point looking both backward and forward. Drone microsound at the limit of the project's own grammar.
Peripherad Debris
Second album in Haarvöl's trilogy, picking up where Bombinate left off. Where the earlier work announced its sonic intention (bombinate, to hum), Peripherad Debris turns toward the conceptual periphery and to remnants of what has already been said: away from the centre, toward the outer turbulence where residual materials remain most stimulating. The album moves between quasi-ambient stillness and dense mass-sound nearly turning to noise, holding all positions in the same hesitant qualifier.
Dino Valente
Dino Valente (1968) is the first and sole solo album by American singer‑songwriter Chester (Chet) William Powers Jr., widely known as Dino Valenti or Valente and celebrated as a founder and early leader of Quicksilver Messenger Service. Blending rock, folk and country with psychedelic undertones, the record pairs introspective, evocative lyrics with the quintessential West Coast sound of the era. Though it was largely overlooked upon its original release, the album has since been embraced as a c…
Awofofora
On Awofofora, Marion Brown folds funk, reggae and Afro‑Caribbean rhythm into his mature structural language, using grooves not as decoration but as architecture for golden‑toned alto lines and quietly radical collective improvisation.
Zawinul
It would not be incorrect to claim that Zawinul was the first Weather Report album with regard to both its concept and sound since all protagonists are already present: Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter and Miroslav Vitouš. This album confirms that Zawinul was the primary creative generator of Weather Report, the connecting link between the band and Miles Davis’s keyboard-laden experiments on "In A Silent Way"; indeed, the composition in its complex orchestral form as composed by Zawinul is newly arran…

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.
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…
Vlakverdeling
Cinema Perdu's third album for the label, extending his investigation of human impact on landscape after Interventions in a Landscape and Amsterdam CS. The material here is drawn from trips through the Frisian polder, where the strict demarcations of the Dutch countryside change atmosphere with weather and light but above all with the geometric clarity of human marking. Field recordings are read as abstract forms and colours, then translated back into new compositions.
