Fully Nowhere: A World Resources Archive
"World Of Echo is proud to announce the release of Fully Nowhere: a World Resources archive, compiling material drawn from limited lathe 7” singles and LPs released by the Aotearoa/New Zealand label, World Resources, predominantly across the 1990s. Supplemented by previously unreleased archival recordings, and material drawn from recent sessions, it’s a revelatory listen, a judicious selection of drone, noise pop, fractured electronics and laminal improvisation from the small community of musici…
White Morning
On White Morning, Fumio Miyashita distils his healing‑ambient language into two near‑half‑hour reveries: soft synths and gentle acoustic colours held in a discovered stillness that treats music as a space for rest, focus and quiet presence.
Beyond the Black Crack
Beyond the Black Crack was the concept of Reverend Dwight Frizzell, a musician, film maker, Doctor of Metaphysics and minister in the Universal Church of Life. It remains a little known classic, and one of the most unique listening experiences in modern experimental music. Recorded between 1974 and 1976 in locations as diverse as factories, the pyramid opposite Harry Truman's grave site as well as more 'conventional' concert settings. Beyond the Black Crack is a dark, dizzying and exhilarating j…
The Melancholy Mad Tenant
The Melancholy Mad Tenant, a collaboration between Coil, The New Blockaders, and Vortex Campaign, is a remastered anthology of radical noise, drone, and experimental anti‑music. It delivers brutal textures, haunting silences, and fierce creative interplay, pushing sound to extremes where chaos and restraint strangely converge.
Fathom Tides
The collaborative project of Lawrence English and Werner Dafeldecker has consistently been concerned with processes of transformation. This is all the more true for »Fathom Tides,« the duo’s second album for Hallow Ground following up on »Tropic of Capricorn« from 2023. Using field recordings collected from diverse coastal environments made by English and later treated extensively by Dafeldecker, the two sound artists explore cyclical changes in nature across these seven pieces. Through its abst…
Dreams & Whispers
We’ve always been careful not to call Balmat an ambient label, because we like having the freedom to move, to drift, to morph. But with our 11th release, we turn our ears—proudly, blissfully—to a strain of ambient at its most timeless. The appropriately titled Dreams & Whispers comes from Warsaw’s Bartosz Kruczyński, who has recorded under a number of guises, Earth Trax, as well as his own name. Over the years, he’s touched upon deep house, breakbeats, acid, techno, electro, IDM, and more; often…

In A Box
"When I recorded the first 2 Trickfinger records, I had recently discovered that you could make electronic music in a room with a bunch of synced machines going at the same time, record it on a CD burner and have a finished track. I've heard this process described as “overdubbing into the air”. It was as exciting to me as my first 4 track was when I was 14. I wasn't trying to be good, or original. I was just excited that music could be made that way; it felt like I was a whole group of musicians…
Sub Re
Kassel Jaeger (aka François J. Bonnet) returns to Shelter Press after Swamps / Things, Shifted in Dreams, and the recent reissue of the classic Zauberberg, co-composed with Akira Rabelais and Stephan Mathieu. With this major new album, entitled Sub Re, Bonnet continues his long exploration of the musical possibilities of sound, extending the concrete approach developed at the Groupe de Recherches Musicales, the historic and essential Parisian studio that Bonnet has been directing since 2018. Sub…
Bad poet
First physical release from mysterious local project Kirbs. I consider the digital Kirbs releases to be some of the last treasures of the Internet, so I’m very happy to present her music finally on a physical medium. 25 minutes of absolutely brilliant domestic computer music. Totally unique and completely unlike anything else i’ve heard.
zakè (20th Anniversary Edition)
Although this is zakè’s debut release on PITP (2019), these arrangements were originally created in 2006. Sharing a fitting description of the label name with the release, it truly is the ‘Past Inside the Present’. These time-worn selections unfold like a slow-moving cascade, quiet, delicate, and gracefully drifting. The understated arrangements weave together warm, ambient drones that shift from faint lo-fi textures, while sinewy mid-tonal synths sway between idle afternoon reflections and hazy…
Tabula Rasa
*2024 stock* Original CD and all materials from the original booklet. Music scores of all four compositions of the album. Previously unreleased facsimile of Arvo Pärt’s autographs of “Tabula rasa” and “Cantus”. Introductory essay by Paul Grifftiths. Exclusive photographs from the ECM archive.

Soft Need 23
**Edition of 431 copies** Alga Marghen in collaboration with Expanded Media Editions is proud to present the final issue of “Soft Need”, a publication centered on the work of William Burroughs and expanding its deep influences into contemporary consciousness.
Founded in 1973 as a reaction to the aftermath of a three weeks’ stay across Xmas and New Year’s with Brion Gysin and Burroughs by their confidant Udo Breger, “Soft Need“ had its roots in the underground press of the previous two decades a…
Glow World
*2025 much needed repress!!! 200 copies limited edition* Glow World is Rod Modell's new project resulting from his collaboration with Taka Noda. The duo delivers what could be an example of perfect elegance and musical refinement, but the resulting sounds are once again dirtied, ruined and ravaged by a noise capable of deafening us, sounds that come from afar, that seem to fade away but suddenly illuminate the world around us, which lands on us and which no longer belongs to us, leaving us lost …
Hier! (En u?) "Niemand Wacht Graag" Book + Plexy Lathe Cut 7"
Book (die-cut cover, gilded edges) and plexy lathe-cut single (pro-cut, screenprinted on the non-playing side) in a bespoke cloth-covered box. This edition was produced in conjunction with the work 'Hier rust Dennis Tyfus' — a commission for the '11 kunstenaars tegen de muur' outdoors exhibition in Antwerp that opened on 1 July of the year 2016 at 6pm! This book was presented at Ercola (Wolstraat 31, Antwerp) on the very same night, between 6 and 9 pm, accompanied by a live concert by Rem…
Field recordings fra Amager
I’m very happy to present this cassette by my dear friend Martha Hviid. A sprawling and colorful collage of field recordings from Amager, A place many (especially those who live there) would call their favorite part of Copenhagen. When you listen to the tape, you definitely get the sense that adventure is always waiting for you just around the corner. Martha Mostly makes Visual art, but I hope she will make more music, or sound works, as I think she likes to call her recordings.
Canyon Diablo
A meteorite and a lost EP from an experimental electronic talent escape their grim fate: remain unknown to human civilization forever. Around 2015, Gareth Smyth (aka Lumigraph) produced two tracks before uploading them on his Soundcloud page under the name “Canyon Diablo”, a tribute to a meteorite that crashed in Arizona 49,000 years ago. Amazed, the future co-founder of M+M Disques barely had time to download them onto his hard drive before they were deleted... until today.
Behind the extraterr…
Electric Weasel Ensemble
Tip! Shifting continuously between minimalistic patterns, intricate soundscapes, and evolving textures of overlapping electronic sonorities, The Electric Weasel Ensemble presents a missing link in the history of electronic music. It is a series of previously unreleased live recordings from a little-known but trailblazingensemble of improvisers—equipped with a unique embrace of invented instruments and distinctly 1970s avant-garde sensibilities. This historic music is available on both double LP …
Journey into Space
York University's music department houses one of the UK's first-ever
electronic music studios, and during the early '70s, it was a hotbed of
creative activity. Much of the released output from the studio at this
time revolved around the work of the dynamic composer Trevor Wishart. Journey Into Space
was his first release, composed between 1970 and 1972, and was
privately-pressed (shortly before the formation of YES records), as two
separate LPs in 1973. (The CD cover amalgamates the two or…
Детство Гамлета
2007 release ** "The musicians themselves say that this album reveals the band's sound at most. They have used their classical instruments: guitar, bass, bayan (accordion), violin, keyboards and human voices. For the first time here's female voice - of Larisa Archipetskaya - "precticing witch in third generation" - as the musicians say. Guest appearances also include Anthesteria, Misery and Wolfsblood. The new album emphasizes the emotional saturation, it immerses the listener in melancholy and …
