Iron
Originally released in 2000, Iron grew out of Pavlov's teenage fascination with heavy metal and the underground record-exchanging community of the late Soviet era. At fourteen, inspired by Iron Maiden's “Running Free,” he picked up a six-string guitar brought to him by his grandmother and decided that he and his friends could also play that kind of music. Before long, they were rehearsing in a Soviet youth club with whatever equipment was available, looking for the sound they heard in early heav…
Black Light District: A Thousand Lights In A Darkened Room
*2026 stock* ...At Last, it's here! During the transitional period in which Coil’s primary leadership (Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson and John Balance) reorganized their creative direction by taking on new membership in the group through their inclusion of Drew McDowall, Coil took a drastic turn towards the metaphysical unknown. Employing the subtle handiwork of Coil’s “real life” members, as well as the cleverly guised aliases and spiritual collaborators, the band chose to filter their identity…
Mectpyo Box
**Edition of 200, very last copies available** Maurizio Bianchi - aka M.B. - began composing in 1979, working in the lineage of Pierre Schaeffer's musique concrète: a practice rooted in the concrete manipulation of recorded sound rather than traditional notation. His stated aim was "to produce technological sounds and in such a way to work on complete realising of the modern decadence". From his early tape works as Sacher-Pelz to the LPs issued between 1981 and 1984, M.B. developed a singular co…

Cold Calling on the Spirit Line
A transmission from the borderlands of sound, Cold Calling on the Spirit Line brings together the singular musical world of Perzeptiverdampfkesselqualmtbesinnlich and the unmistakable voice and imagination of Edward Ka-Spel. Strange, intimate and quietly unsettling, the album unfolds like a late-night conversation with the unknown.

Paysages Planétaires
Paysages Planétaires on Alga Marghen may be the great unrecognized masterpiece of ethno-electroacoustic music, a 3CD box that arrived in 2004 with almost no fanfare and has waited two decades for ears ready to hear it.

Yet Pousseur, the serialist pioneer who worked alongside Karlheinz Stockhausen and…

Unfamiliar Music (Paris)
Sold out at the label. 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…
