It's 2018 and it's time for some new discoveries into Mike Cooper's limitless exploration in his collection of guitars. The title itself, Tropical Gothic references Cooper's beloved areas of "the South" with a Gothic, dark, remote interplay... he explains: ''Tropical Gothic includes, but is by no means limited to, a reflection on a region where European colonial powers fought intensively against indigenous populations and against each other for control of land and resources.'' On each side, Mike…

2024 small repress. "Back to music after three years of silence... On the suggestion of Robert Ashley, Douglas Dunn commissioned this piece from Éliane Radigue for choreography. Only the first part of Triptych was staged at the premiere at the Dancehall/Theatre of Nancy on February 27 1978. Recorded in the composer's studio in Paris. After the premiere of Adnos I (IMPREC 028CD) in San Francisco in 1974, a group of French students introduced Éliane Radigue to Tibetan Buddhism. When she returned t…
11 Dec 1980 is a two CD set containing Eliane Radigue's live performance of Chry-Ptus (1971), her first work for modular synthesizer, and the world premier of parts one and three of Triptych (1978). Triptych part 2 is also performed. Upon hearing these performances for the first time in many years Radigue declared them to be the best versions she'd ever heard. Radigue's sublime renderings of these major pieces are full of illusory stasis, slow change and dense, slow motion drone that has charact…
* 300 copies, comes with an extensive booklet * Limpe Fuchs’ first solo record came about by accident. Initially, Christoph Heemann invited the famous Anima duo to do a studio record in his home-town Aachen, but Paul Fuchs decided not to join in, so Limpe went on her own – and the recording sessions taking place in late 1986 and early 1987 turned out to become “via”, Limpe’s first solo-record and the (visible) starting point of her ongoing exceptional career as an internationally performing, ind…

On Uchuu, Oowets drifts into their most abstract work yet, blending tapped cloth boxes, reed organ warmth and bedside field recordings into a gentle, cosmic meditation where minimal rhythms and environmental sounds merge science and nature into a single, weightless drift.
Beach of the Pliocene, a sought-after release by Ken-ichiro Isoda, epitomizes Japanese ambient’s capacity to conjure landscape and memory. The album blends flute, guitar and environmental sounds in a meditative journey that merges gently melodic lines with the resonance of the ocean, functioning equally as a balm for modern anxieties and a portal for contemplative listening.

“For the heads”. A pliable phrase to the point of cliché, but also one that happens to be particularly apt for Misha Hering’s debut LP under his own name, Cn[x]. The deep, exploratory music on Cn[x] was recorded in the aftermath of a heavy concussion that left Hering unable to do his day job as sound engineer at Holy Mountain studio on east London’s Hackney Road. With time to fill and daunting cognitive rehabilitation to complete, Hering returned to music making after a long absence.

Though packaged together, Joshua and Same Day Walking chart distinct worlds. Recorded in northern California and produced by Robby Moncrieff (Dirty Projectors, Zach Hill), Joshua is woolier and warmer, evoking haze, humidity, and overgrown Spanish moss. Meanwhile, Same Day Walking — recorded in Iceland and produced by Moncrieff alongside two-time GRAMMY-winning composer / sound designer Sam Slater (Joker, Chernobyl) — is, appropriate for its icier climes, windswept and beholden to the vast empti…
