Herzmuskelgewebe 2
A pivotal reissue of K2's seminal 1984 cassette "Herzmuskelgewebe," capturing Kimihide Kusafuka's earliest experimental noise explorations. This long-awaited vinyl edition preserves a raw, formative document from Japanese noise history, showcasing the K2's initial sonic dissections during his crucial first creative phase.
No Human Rights For Arabs In Israel
In the uncompromising world of Muslimgauze, few releases capture the raw urgency and political fire of Bryn Jones's vision as powerfully as No Human Rights for Arabs in Israel. Now returning via MG Archive Vol. 033 as a double CD in a limited edition of 200 manually screen-printed copies, this confrontational masterpiece stands as one of the most rhythmically relentless and politically potent works in the entire Muslimgauze catalog. The album's genesis reflects the chaotic creative process that …
Kashmiri Queens
"Kashmiri Queens" presents a more accessible side of Muslimgauze, featuring a faster tempo and fewer sonic overtones than his previous endeavors. The music's core is rooted in drone and raga samples complemented by a rich array of ethnic percussions. All the standard Muslimgauze elements present here, but this release sees a more steady approach to his sound. Far less of the abrupt cutting in and out he had favoured for a good while, and more of a concentrated approach to the music. He lets the …
The Great God Pan
The third chapter of this extraordinary trilogy by the world's most extreme musical explorers—John Zorn, Bill Laswell, and Mick Harris.
Bear Creek
Bear Creek by Camp of Wolves is a spectral journey into the folds of memory—an electronic album steeped in nostalgia and tinged with a spectral melancholy. Drawing on organic sounds and homespun textures, the record crafts a deeply personal, woodsy soundscape that mirrors the confusion and warmth of childhood revisited in adulthood, embodying both bittersweet reverie and nocturnal introspection.
Selected Ambient Works 85-92
*2025 stock* Richard D James' classic album from 1992, re-pressed countless times but still sounding as vital as it did way back when. Still probably the most uplifting and nostalgic thing in the AFX catalogue...Best electronic music album of the late 20th century. A proper gateway drug to the myriad microcosms of Richard D. James a.k.a. Aphex Twin. 100% essential in any collection. Selected Ambient Works 85-92 is a desperately sparse album: thin percussion and several haunted-synth lines are th…
Camoufleur
2025 repress, LP version. "Sometimes it's like an overstuffed musical armchair -- quite comfy, even when lumpy. The contribution of Markus Popp, whose style of digital scratching has made Oval an experimental household name, adds to the density and often provides an echo of Gastr past while the rest of Camoufleur paints the future." Jim O'Rourke's last album with Gastr del Sol is a subdued, meditative affair, bringing together elements of folk, jazz, film music, and the avant-garde. "The Seasons…
Hamas Arc
Originally released in 1993. The reissue contains remixed material from »Shekel Of Israeli Occupation«, which did never appear. Also on there are two remixes from tracks on »Vote Hezbollah«. From the original press release: »For over ten years this solitary voice from Manchester has created a unique sound drawn from a melange of Arabic and European instrumental music. From the very beginning the music has been based on drums and other percussion instruments. Recent advances have been attained th…
Just Say The Faith
2024 stock. While an undeliable impression was left in Zoviet France, Robin Storey, a founding member of that seminal group and the man behind Rapoon has continued to leave giant footprints across the landscape of darkambient music. “Just Say The Faith” comes from a very cold and damp place, perhaps inside an ancient abandoned church, where long shadows fall across gnarled tree roots and forgotten voices echo from dusty corners. The colors are black and brown, the elements are Earth and Water, a…
Shifted in Dreams
Franco-Swiss composer François J. Bonnet, aka Kassel Jaeger, returns to Shelter Press with his new solo album, Shifted in Dreams. Over the years, Bonnet has been working closely with Shelter Press on different projects, whether as a musician (Zauberberg, Swamps / Things), a theorist (The Music To Come) or as Director of parisian institution INA GRM (SPECTRES, Recollection GRM, Portraits GRM). The common axis of all these actions is the exploration of the deep causes of music, its own potential a…
The Artistic Image Is Always a Miracle
**Edition of 300, turquoise vinyl, 180 gr. heavyweight LP + extensive booklet** Furthering the passionate exploration of cinema that has guided her two previous LPs - 2017’s ‘Fassbinder Wunderkammer’ and 2020’s ‘I Should Have Been a Gardener’ - the Milanese guitarist/composer, Alessandra Novaga, returns to Die Schachtel with ‘The Artistic Image Is Always a Miracle’, two sides off shimmering, tense compositions – culminating as one of her most creatively ambitious and conceptually rich outings to…
Hardcore Vol. 1
2025 repress. **Quality reissue of legendary early demos, available for the first time in over 20 years. Includes liner-notes insert with Moshe Brakha's photography** San Francisco's cherry-picking reissue label, Superior Viaduct, give new life to these crucial volumes of art-pop and pre-punk prototypes from Akron, Ohio's finest. 'Hardcore' documents the formative Devo's years, 1974-1977, of the brothers Mothersbaugh (Mark, Bob, and Jim) and Brothers Casale (Jerry and Bob) and their drummer Alan…
......t
Sonically, the Swedish duo SHXCXCHCXSH distort the club context they work from by rendering functionality with an exceptionally refined and idiosyncratic palette. As logophiles, they contort the little descriptive context they afford audiences by imploding language into splintered and barely comprehensible character sequences. The impression is that each is the result of mutual process-driven experiments. This is all true of '......t', their new album and debut recording for Northern Electronics…
Join Inn
CD - Remastered by Manuel Göttsching. The original Ash Ra Tempel line-up got together to record Join Inn during breaks in the Tarot album recordings. The album's two lengthy tracks were completely improvised. The first, 'Freak 'n Roll' is basically self-explanatory(!) with Manuel Gottsching coming into his own with his talented, bluesy upbeat improvisations. 'Jenseits' (Beyond), on the other hand, is a showcase for Klaus Schulze's then new-found electronic sound painting skills. The lyrics on th…
Sagan Om Ringen / The Lord of the Rings
** 2021 Stock ** For decades, J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy had been well loved by book readers everywhere. Now, New Zealand-born director Peter Jackson is transforming the epic on to the big screen, the first installment, The Fellowship of the Ring had already hit the theaters at the end of 2001. In 1978, there was a rather forgettable animated version of Lord of the Rings. But before Lord of the Rings ever appeared on any type of screen, musicians were recording music inspired by …
Maroon
*2024 repress* Separated from both its reputation and its sleeve art, the music of Muslimgauze explores the relationship of visual sensations -- space, color, depth, illusion -- to the listening experience. The music on Maroon is dub-like inspired techno music, laidback with voices appearing randomly in the mix. The thick drums and rich found sounds that densely populate the soundscapes on Maroon give materiality to the warm presence of the synth washes. The music is so layered and textured that…
Odyssey
**A labor of love, this marvelous self-produced six-disc set collects trumpeter Bill Dixon's previously unreleased solo recordings since the 1970s.** 2001 release. Odyssey is the definitive compendium of solo trumpet music by Bill Dixon, as compiled by the artist. Dixon (1925-2010) was known primarily for his small and large ensemble masterpieces of the decades between Intents and Purposes (1967) and Tapestries (2009). While he appeared infrequently in solo performances, he was continually evolv…
An Episode Of Improvisational Smoke Recorded Upon The Cold Stone Of Sacred Ground
2025 stock 1992 release. Frank-O-Fest is a loose grouping of Milwaukee old-timers led & directed by John Frankovic, who recorded this in one cloudy session in a church in 1992. Utilizing percussion, sitar, bouzouki, trombone, pipe organ, jews harp, didgeridoo, bass, cello, bamboo & clay flutes & more, this is a long, form-defying floatation exercise in space-out improvisation.
La Grande Crue
Joining Attic Trio, pianist Eve Risser collaborates now with Rodrigo Amado on tenor, Goncalo Almeida on bass, and Onno Govaert on drums, contributing an additional dimension to their intricate soundscape. Risser exhibits a frequently variable tone on the piano, effectively complementing the soulful expressions of Amado's tenor. The horn is played in a manner that is often free yet consistently cohesive, which is further enhanced by Eve's more assertive passages on the keys. Bassist Almeida effec…
Everything Collapse(D) - Piano Versions
This is an unreleased and “lost” new album by Deison and Mingle conceived in 2014 /15 right after the recording and the release of their debut collaboration-album "Everything Collapse[d]". After the passing of Andrea Gastaldello (“Mingle”) in 2021 and founding these forgotten tracks led us to think that this work should have been listened to understand the essence of the original album. Published by a co-production of three label who have released various works by the duo in the past (Loud!, Fin…
