The Second Annual Report
40th Anniversary Edition, on Double CD. Restored and remastered by Chris Carter from 24bit 'baked tape' digital transfers of the original first generation analogue master tapes. The tragic death of Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson earlier this year signalled the end of Throbbing Gristle, whose surviving members are currently working to complete their final album before retiring the name. It couldn't be a more appropriate time to revisit their revolutionary records of the 1970s and 1980s, remastere…
Memory Loss
Sixth release in the MFR Contemporary Series. Greek trio Eventless Plot (Liolios, Giatas, Tsirikoglou), joined by bass clarinetist Chris Cundy, take recent research on music and Alzheimer's disease as starting point: that music helps both retrieve old memories and lay down new ones. Two long compositions are built from repeated patterns creating familiarity, then gradually layered with shifting tone combinations. Instrumentarium includes psaltery, tape (Revox A-77), modular and bass clarinet.
The Seven Storey Mountain
a groundbreaking musical project by Nate Wooley, unites legends like Paul Lytton (Evan Parker’s longtime collaborator) and David Grubbs (Gastr Del Sol, Bastro) in an ecstatic sonic journey. Inspired by Thomas Merton’s spiritual exploration, the piece transcends religion, channeling the raw energy of free jazz and modern noise. Premiered at NYC’s Festival of New Trumpet Music, it blends improvisation, ambient textures, and bold experimentation—a testament to Wooley’s visionary artistry.
Afraid To Speak
Departing from a run of releases for Discus Music featuring mainly large group composition, this stripped down, free-blowing session features a group of great players on top form, delivering music which is in turns heavily incisive and delicately traced. Dunmall himself has never sounded better than he does here.
Herbstlaub
»Herbstlaub,« the third album by Marsen Jules, was both introspective and visionary, modest and ground-breaking. Blending elements of classical music with electronic textures, the German artist created six pieces that draw on the power of repetition, yet are full of internal tensions and sweeping dynamics. Now, Keplar makes it available again on vinyl for the first time since its original release in 2005. This version, remastered by Stephan Mathieu and with a new artwork by Umor Rex’s Daniel Cas…
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 …
Because It Happens
„Not So Late / Because it Happens“ on CD and „Because it Happens“ on LP is the material recorded live on August 5th 2025 in London at legendary Cafe OTO. Three masters of improvisation: Mikołaj Trzaska on saxophone, John Edwards on double bass and Mark Sanders on drums. They don't use the term "improvisation," preferring instead to speak of "live composition" and the audience, who are an essential component of the concert ritual. The community created by the performers and the audience's attenti…
Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millenium the original „Astral Disaster“ subcription-only vinyl release was somewhat of an Unholy Grail for Coil collectors!
Virtually unobtainable in its original fiercely limited format of only 99 copies, it is the only album apart from the original „Musick to play in the Dark“ record to combine the genius of Balance and Sleazy with both Drew McDowall and Thighpaulsandra's talents. Like „Musick“ it is an essentially tidal/lunar record with literal washes of sound enveloping …

Affenstunde
A foundational record. The opening chapter of one of the most singular spiritual journeys in European music. Esoteric returns Affenstunde, the 1970 debut of Popol Vuh, to vinyl on July 31st, 2026, freshly cut at AIR Studios in London, with the original cover artwork restored and an accompanying poster. When Florian Fricke brought a Moog III modular synthesiser into a Munich studio in 1970, alongside percussionist Holger Trülzsch and engineer Frank Fiedler, he was working with one of only a handf…
Just a Little Piece of Me / Dream Journal (for Udo) 7"
A unique collaboration, Just a Little Piece of Me / Dream Journal (for Udo) unites Swiss analog explorer Papiro and legendary psych innovator Sonic Boom for a mesmerizing 7" of dreamy textures and experimental pop.
Avventure Lontane
Mostly known for his intense drone performances and as bass/guitarplayer for the ultrasonic noise trio MIR, Papiro seems to slip into a different persona when left unattended with a bunch of old Synthesizers and the privilege of overdub. The nine tracks show Papiro’s affinity for melodies and complex arrangements and will please followers of early seventies electronica like Walter Carlos (A Clockwork Orange), Cluster or Bruce Haack. The LP comes in a silkscreened glow-in-the-dark cover.
Nameless Science
Lucky restock! *90 copies limited edition* Thought Broadcast return with a highly limited new long player via the freshly minted Amok Age. It's been over a decade since we first heard from Ravi Binning's project, arriving at around the same time as Blackest Ever Black and what felt like a renewed interest in blasted post-industrial electronics. Whether that interest still prevails i'm not sure, but Nameless Science nonetheless finds Binning worshipping at the same cursed altar, and as compelling…

Sixties Japanese Garage/Psych Rarities Vol.2
Here's for the real thing! Sixties Japanese Garage/Psych Rarities Vol. 2 uncovers a lost vein of cosmic rock from late‑1960s Japan, presenting a vivid collection of raw, psychedelic sounds from the heart of the Group Sounds movement. This second volume brings together rare singles, private-press gems and previously uncompiled studio cuts that reveal how Japanese bands absorbed and reimagined Western garage, soul and acid rock into something entirely their own.
Featuring early and hard-to-find re…
Understatements
*2026 stock* This is the first recording by the unique trio of Tetuzi Akiyama (guitar), Toshimaru Nakamura (no-input mixing board), and Masataka Fujikake (drums). This is a full album of six songs recorded at the now-defunct Asagaya Yellow Vision and is an isolated work in which the inner universe of the three members is clearly imprinted on the disc.
Yamame
Jazz saxophonist Akira Miyazawa was known for his unparalleled love of fishing, and here he gives a masterful performance that conjures the image of silvery fish scales reflecting light through the cold and clear water of a small mountain stream. “Yamame” (the Japanese name for a kind of freshwater salmon) was recorded in 1962 and was Miyazawa’s first album, but the sharpness and avant-garde modernity of the music creates a completely timeless quality. Miyazawa is one of a group of musicians who…
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.
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…
A Profound Loss of Meaning
On A Profound Loss of Meaning, Alice Kemp braids twelve years of recording and composition into a slow, unnerving drift where trance states, dream images and tiny domestic hauntings coagulate into an intimate, disquieting cartography of unreason.
