Instruments of Forgetting and the Singing Bone
This project is a dynamic exploration of songwriting from an instrumentalist’s perspective. Rather than following a fixed path, it fluctuates—drifting between the sonic possibilities of instrumental textures, timbral exploration, and sound processing. These elements give rise to evolving patterns: from abstract soundscapes to clear, repetitive melodies and canons. The music weaves together experimental, improvised, contemporary influences mixing with avant- pop creating a collage of shifting moo…

Requiem in the Sun / Re-Musick / Demise Symphonika
This is the first in a series of various compilations to come with a focus on the 80’s japanese Minimal/Synth/Wave and electronica. While Japan is very known for the Japanese Noise (almost as Germany is known for NDW (Neue Deutsche Welle) or 70’s Kraut (Progressive).Electronic Music this aspect of the 80’s Japanese Music Culture still seems to be less explored and exposed to the interested listeners. In the early 80’s you had several outstanding labels such as Vanity releasing great artist…

Trees Without Leaves
Paul Nova's career began with Bizarre Unit and the legendary 1981 7" Dancing / Away from the Screaming Car, before he founded Exhibit One Records in 1982 and released a sequence of four highly collectible vinyl records culminating in the LP Trees Without Leaves (1984). His music exists in the lineage of the coldest and most precise British synthesizer pop of the early Mute years, but with a restraint and a melancholy that gives it a character entirely its own. The original Exhibit One pressings …

Laughing Stock
** 2026 stock ** One of the lost gems of the 90s, Talk Talk's final album 'Laughing Stock' has gathered momentum in the hushed tones of music fans' conversations since it's release. At long last it has secured a reissue.

Bangor Flying Circus
Bangor Flying Circus, the self-titled debut from the short-lived but influential Chicago progressive rock trio, is a striking document of late-1960s American psychedelia and ambitious musicianship. Formed in mid-1967 and active through 1969, Bangor Flying Circus brought together seasoned players from the Shadows of Knight and H.P. Lovecraft to create a sound that bridged blues-rooted rock, baroque psychedelia, and forward-looking progressive arrangements.

America's Greatest Noise (Book + Anti flexi)
The next book on Korm Plastics contains no photographs of the artists, no list of released records, no pictures of record sleeves, and no footnotes.

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 …
Synths, Sax & Situationists (Music From The French Underground 1973-78)
France's near-revolution of May '68 kicked the country's small but vibrant counter-culture into overdrive and birthed a local underground music scene. The bands it spawned made music with far less rock purity than groups from the UK and US - their influences foregrounded improvisation, disjunction and genre-blending: Soft Machine, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, free jazz and radical politics. The introduction of the synthesiser in the early 1970s added fuel to the fire. This six-track compilation inau…
Even The Horizon Knows Its Bounds
From Lawrence English: "I like to think that sound haunts architecture. It's one of the truly magical interactions afforded by sound's immateriality. It's also something that has captivated us from the earliest times. It's not difficult to imagine the exhilaration of our early ancestors calling to one another in the dark cathedral like caves which held wonder, and security, for them. Today the ways in which sound occupies space, the so-called liquid architecture, holds just as much wonder, albei…
