Spiritually Unemployed
Ak’chamel, The Givers of Illness plunged into truly deranged extremes to summon the decayed, otherworldly essence captured on Spiritually Unemployed, embracing unhinged and esoteric methods during the tracking process. Recorded in a makeshift adobe studio amid liminal border-zone ruins. Nocturnal treks along forgotten stretches near the U.S.-Mexico line, through derelict border outposts and sun-bleached vehicle husks, yielded unique recording opportunities: Ak’chamel dragged tape decks like sacr…
Elis
On Elis, Elis Regina crystallises everything that made her singular: a precision‑tooled voice riding the fault line between control and abandon, bringing samba, MPB and jazz‑tinged arrangements to a rolling boil of drama and nuance.
Iterae
Iterae is issued as a multi-disc edition designed for both shelf and wall—referencing the scale of the vinyl LP while quietly subverting its familiar expectations. The format distributes the album's material across four 80mm compact discs. Each disc can be played independently or sequenced freely, extending the music's own recursive methodology into its physical presentation. A full-sized compact disc is included on the rear for continuous playback. The design incorporates an integrated rear wal…
Circles
Several years after the release of ‘Metamorphosis’ (with Sid Hille), Multicast Dynamics (Samuel van Dijk) reemerges on Astral Industries with ‘Circles’ - an enchanting two-part work venturing into deep unconscious realms. Sonic landscapes unfold in a sequence of hidden spaces and intimate revelations, featuring detailed sound design and rich thematic content.
 Circle One initiates the process, opening gently with glassy drones and the patter of distant voices. A faint light shimmers through swir…
Spontaneous Music Ensemble
On this meeting with the Spontaneous Music Ensemble, Bobby Bradford steps into John Stevens’ London laboratory and, alongside Trevor Watts, Julie Tippetts, Bob Norden and Ron Herman, turns free improvisation into a fiercely alert, shape‑shifting chamber music.
Greek Variations & Other Aegean Exercises
British Jazz Explosion Series! Recorded in '69, Greek Variations & Other Aegean Exercises is irresistible on two counts. First, for its daringly conceived and brilliantly performed music, inspired by Greek folk songs and instrumental textures and deep enough to reveal all its treasures only after many repeated listenings. Second, for being recorded at the moment when the Don Rendell/Ian Carr Quintet, a major force in British straight-ahead jazz since '62, had broken up and Carr's equally influen…
Buchenwald
The seminal classic first Whitehouse album released in 1980, one of the most important and influential records from the embryonic field of electronic and industrial music
Primal Forms
*300 copies limited edition* After their last album six years ago, "Primal Forms," the new album by Phantom Horse, finally arrives. The German duo of Ulf Schütte and Niklas Dommaschk have long established a reputation for expertly crafted, hypnotically slow-burning electronic music, and we do not hesitate to say that "Primal Forms" stands among the epitomes of their discography. The sequencing of "Primal Forms" cannot be underestimated. It is an album in the classic sense. It demands to be liste…
40 Days of Silence
* Lucky restock, few available! * The threshold between field recording and composed music, between documentary and pure abstraction - 40 Days Of Silence occupies that narrow and precise territory which only the most rigorous practitioners of sound art dare to inhabit. Jacob Kirkegaard belongs to a generation of Scandinavian artists - alongside figures like CM von Hauswolff, Thomas Köner, and Helge Sten - for whom sound is neither decoration nor effect, but a means of confronting otherwise unrea…
Alive Alone, Alive Together
Guitarist Ava Mendoza returns with a powerful and emotionally stirring live album — half solo electric guitar, and half duos with legendary drummer Hamid Drake. Featuring radically transformed versions of songs from her acclaimed albums The Circular Train and New Spells, as well as brand-new pieces, this is a thrilling document of Mendoza at her best — onstage in front of an audience.
Wade
*150 copies limited edition* Circle Bros emerged during the late‑nineties wave of lo‑fi and dronerock, when Morc Records founder Wim Lecluyse first began shaping hazy, guitar‑driven soundscapes. Over the many years that followed, the project gradually started using a richer soundpallete, and shifted toward semi‑improvised, restrained songs that draw as much from minimal‑leaning songwriters as from artists who fearlessly approach the folk traditions. What has never changed is the core approach — …
In den Garten Pharaos
Mystic Synthesis at the Dawn of Electronic Consciousness! Florian Fricke's visionary second album remains a towering achievement in transcendental electronics
Withings (things - with - wings - within) (Book + CD)
*250 copies limited edition* Anybody paying close enough attention during more recent years should have noticed that Volcano The Bear co-founder Nick Mott has long been producing music under his own name. Not only that but it always arrives adorned in his own highly distinctive artwork. Since his debut solo LP, 'The Visitors', on the defunct Alt. Vinyl in 2012, Nick has released a couple more albums, a 7"/art print package and lathe-cut 10"/art print set all on Fourth Dimension's sister label Lu…
Transcendent Universe
Pianist Joel Futterman and bassist William Parker deliver an epic improvisatory journey on this three-track,  hour-long studio recording. Futterman and Parker have worked together in duo and group contexts since the 1980s, and their deep creative bond is audible in every note of this suite.

Experimente
Dive back into the primal heart of Krautrock with Amon Düül's "Experimente", a stunning collection of rare and obscure live material excavated from the same incendiary late '60s sessions that birthed their legendary debut Psychedelic Underground. This previously unreleased treasure captures the band's unbridled spontaneity, delivering a sonic assault that's as hypnotic as it is feral. Amon Düül's jam sessions on Experimente are pure, unfiltered ritual – predominantly instrumental eruptions domin…
A Silence Opens
"Death is a lack with weight. At the moment that you realize that someone you love is irrecoverably gone, a small tear in your life opens up. As days go by, the sliver of grief grows, becoming a rift, a gap, a gulley, a canyon. At the point that you feel lost in the immensity of space where that person used to be, the expansion stops; the hole—the vast and airy part of your life that used to be occupied by that person—becomes solid. Maybe it decreases in size, but more likely, your memories grow…
Discorsi
Raskovich (Giuliano Sorgini) refines a single idea to a razor’s edge: lean jazz‑funk frameworks animated by flute, Rhodes, electronics and blaxploitation‑style orchestration, finally back in circulation after decades as a cult library secret.
