Let's Go To Hell: Scattered Memories of the Butthole Surfers (Book)
The Butthole Surfers lived like nomads, built their legend on never-ending tours and shows resembling hedonistic acid tests. Author James Burns returns with new interviews and shocking revelations in this explosive 10th anniversary edition of Let's Go to Hell — the first no-holds-barred chronicle of the band's rise, fall, and enduring infamy. 315 pages.
48 Hours
Third release in the MFR Contemporary Series. The Vonnegut Collective combines a recording of Thomas Adès's Piano Quintet (2000) - a dense, time-warping work requiring forty-eight hours of rehearsal - with a new commissioned piece by Tullis Rennie built around that process. Rennie's score interweaves rehearsal recordings and player interviews with improvised realisations of his own graphic score for the quintet, plus trumpet and electronics. Contemporary classical with embedded documentary.
Sonoton 60 (Book)
The book, a celebration of the German production music library’s 60th birthday, is a collaborative venture between the label and Disco Pogo.
Silence and Secrecy
Zos Kia’s music is an essential insight and archival piece into the early work of the industrial scene and particularly of Coil in their formative stages. Their recordings are even darker and more industrial-rooted than much of the Coil material that followed. The music is primal, brutal and reveals the interests that surrounded Coil/Zos Kia and the early years of Thee Temple ov Psychic Youth (TOPY) / Psychic TV...
John Gosling was an original member of Zos Kia (as Joan D'Arc), alongside John …
Astral Disaster
At the turn of the millennium 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…
The Piano In The Room And The Blues
“I didn’t realise it at the time, but this recording, made in 2006, marked a change in my musical thinking. All the elements came together – my roots, the use of blues structures and the lifelong search for expression in music. I had unlimited time to think, to return again and again to a subject, to dig deeper into the blues.Falmouth is a large town by the sea in Cornwall. This recording was made at Falmouth Arts Centre on the Steinway grand in the main gallery where my wife Kate had a show. Th…

Mana
Mana is the International Anthem debut by composer, trombonist and vocalist Kalia Vandever. This new full length carries on the expansive and dazed spirit of their first solo album, We Fell In Turn, while entering a new landscape of spacious songwriting. Vandever’s music has quickly and widely gained traction in the last few years despite the fact that their style has been consistently difficult to pin down, boasting a compositional scope ranging from the cinematic modern jazz of their quartet w…
The Old Gods
*323 copies limited edition* "Joseph Allred makes music that manages to feel sacred and at the same time is filled with sweat and muscle that's fully rooted to this physical realm. Uplifting and dare I say, ass kicking. The man can put a stringed instrument through its paces." — John Schoen
"The impetus for this album came while I was sitting in a cave near my house, ruminating on very old things. The title has to do with my own interest in history and rootedness, but it also acknowledges a futi…
Talisman (Magazine)
Introducing Talisman, a new zine devoted to myth, magick, and the small practices that cultivate mystery, stoke curiosity, and find beauty in the everyday. For solitary practitioners and intuitives among us, as well as the spiritually inclined.
Our debut issue shares stories from modern makers crafting candles for ritual with deep intention, offers a guide to alchemizing basic self-care into potent spell work, and engages a wide-ranging discussion on creativity, rewilding and divinatory practice…
Love & Noise
Reemerging three decades on, C.C.C.C.’s Love & Noise hits vinyl for the first time, a still‑devastating artefact where Mayuko Hino’s charged electronics and Hiroshi Hasegawa’s Moog storms turn harsh sonics into something crushing, psychedelic and strangely exultant.
Conversation
*Text in French and English* A few months before the death of Edgard Varèse (1883–1965), Gunther Schuller (1925–2015) sat down with the composer for an in-depth conversation: his career and friendships, collaborations, new instruments, and the rare freedom he allowed the sounds they produced... Published for the first time in English and French, this is a rare testament for all lovers of "sounds."
Setpieces
Setpieces captures Cath Roberts & Olie Brice at a new peak of focus and invention, distilling their long-running musical rapport into a set of raw, finely tuned improvisations. Roberts’ baritone lines carve out bold shapes and sudden whispers while Brice’s bass grounds and disrupts in equal measure, creating a vivid, unpredictable dialogue. A striking next chapter for two of the UK’s most distinctive improvisers.
The Alternative Counter Organization
Taco weaponise the very idea of “tako” - octopus, kite, bunion, drunk, bald head - into a mutating post‑punk organism, a rotating guerrilla cell whose songs behave like incidents rather than compositions.
Congliptious
On Congliptious, Roscoe Mitchell strips the Art Ensemble idea to its bones, pairing stark solo showcases with a fierce quartet blowout that makes freedom feel both methodical and combustible.
Music for Intersecting Planes
On Music for Intersecting Planes, Kali Malone and Leila Bordreuil braid organ, cello, sine waves and feedback into a candlelit nocturne of air and overtones, an austere yet tender ritual where space itself becomes a third instrument.
Caravan
Caravan's groundbreaking debut album from 1968 captures the freakish and exploratory moods of the times
Path of Enlightenment
Nat Birchall, saxophonist and composer, one of the most authentic voices in contemporary spiritual jazz, presents Path of Enlightenment, a sonic journey through rarely explored scales and modes, from Ethiopia to Byzantium, from ancient Egypt to South Africa.
For this new recording, Birchall deliberately chose the quartet format - tenor sax, piano, double bass and drums - seeking a cohesion and intimacy that allows the music to breathe and tell its story. Joining him are his trusted collaborators…
Atomique Tape
Edition of 101 copies. Recorded in June 1980 and self-issued the same year on cassette, Atomique Tape belongs to the legendary first wave of releases under the MB name, the moniker Maurizio Bianchi adopted that spring after closing his earlier project Sacher-Pelz. Across roughly twelve months, working from his home in the Mantuan town of Pomponesco, Bianchi produced an extraordinary run of self-released tapes that would, almost immediately, place him at the centre of the international industrial…
