Of Time
On Of Time, Underground Spiritual Game - baritone saxophonist Eden Bareket, bassist Ran Livneh and drummer Eran Fink - trace an imaginary route from city grime to rural trance, fusing Ethiopian jazz, Afrobeat pulse and cosmic free improvisation into a single, slow‑burning ritual.
Vol. II
If Vol. 1 was the secret handshake, Vol. II is the full initiation rite. The anonymous Quebec duo's sophomore album landed in April 2026 with the weight of near-impossible expectations - sold-out tours across two continents, a viral KEXP session with millions of views, Pitchfork and Fantano circling the wagons - and the remarkable thing is that Angine De Poitrine didn't flinch. Six new tracks, same formula on paper - Khn's microtonal double-neck and loop pedals, Klek's ferocious yet calculated d…
Vol.1
Two masked creatures from Saguenay, Quebec, who communicate only in guttural alien grunts, have managed to become the most talked-about band on the planet - and the funniest part is that nobody can explain exactly why. Maybe because Angine De Poitrine - Khn de Poitrine on a custom-built double-neck microtonal guitar/bass with loop pedals, Klek de Poitrine on drums and percussion - are simply too good to ignore. Behind the papier-mâché masks, the polka-dot costumes and the pyramid hand signs lies…

A Celebration of iDeath
Funeral Danceparty began in 1979 in Newcastle. Their debut cassette, The Curiosity Shop (1980), was advertised in the national weekly music paper Sounds in the established DIY fashion of the era: interested parties were requested to send a blank cassette and a self-addressed envelope. Approximately 100 copies reached destinations worldwide. A national fanzine review compared the music to Cabaret Voltaire, Faust, and The Residents. Their second cassette, The Attractions of Fixed Interest, was als…
World Rhythms
"In late 1975, Annea Lockwood realised her composition World Rhythms. It represents one of the first creative works exploring the potentials of field recordings in a multichannel setting. It is a landmark work and a composition that, on its 50th anniversary, has gently carried forward over the decades, but arguably now is only starting to come into true focus, and be understood for exactly how revolutionary it was. World Rhythms was a work concerned with a practice of sustained listening into th…
Anthology One 1989-91
Anthology One is culled from the first three cassette releases by Voice of Eye; Isolation, Voice of Eye and Resonant Fields / Hot Gypsy Fink Hell, all three Tapes released on thier own Cyclotron Industries Label between 1989-1991 These are the earliest recordings by Voice of Eye.

The Next From Field Commander
Recorded in a bedroom with classical guitar and 4-track tape, The Next From Field Commander is Australian folk of rare emotional density. Layered vocals, inhabited silences, a voice that lingers.
Pointless
Greg Horn started out in West Lafayette, Indiana as guitarist and vocalist of Dow Jones and the Industrials, a punk and new wave band with a wiry, keyboard-inflected sound that earned them a split LP with the Gizmos in 1980 before the group dissolved in 1981. Horn relocated to Phoenix, Arizona, where he found work at the PBS station KAET and met synthesist Galen Herod. Together they formed Tone Set, the minimal synth-pop duo that released Cal's Ranch and Calibrate and earned rare praise from Mar…
The Blackwing Sessions | Demos 1982 / 83
On The Blackwing Sessions, Demos 1982/83, Robert Marlow opens the vault on his pre‑Peter Pan Effect sketches, capturing Basildon synth‑pop at source: raw Vince Clarke sequences, Eric Radcliffe grit, and songs caught mid‑mutation between bedroom dream and major‑label mirage.
Synth Pop Art
On Synth Pop Art, The Toy Shop turn Paul Klein’s one‑man Leeds project into a sharp, neon‑lit partnership with Philip Walsh, distilling early‑80s UK minimal synth, big‑chorus ambition and nearly‑was pop history into a tight set of lost singles.
Exotic Percussion / Death TV
In 1979, in the middle of Sheffield's post-punk and industrial ferment, Peter Bargh and Mark Holmes formed Mein Glas Fabrik and set about making two cassette albums with whatever they had to hand: tape loops, homemade synthesizers, found samples, random radio frequencies, and a Shergold guitar. The first cassette, Death TV, appeared without any information attached, entirely anonymous, and was reviewed in the local Sheffield fanzine Tigers on the Moor in May 1981: "This is a complete mystery to …
Such Heavy Convinction - Recordings 1981-1983
Tone Set was a Minimal/Synth duo founded by Galen Herod and Greg Horn in Tempe, Arizona- existing from 1981 to 1983. Their early sound was ostensibly synthetic, mixing analog synths and primitive drum machines with snippets of found speech in place of vocals. Their first release, the 1982 cassette "Cal's Ranch" was recorded almost entirely without singing at their home studio 'The Center for Advanced Studies'. That year, Tone Set contributed the track "Out, Out" to Placebo Record's "Amuck…

Appearance/Music for Solo Performer
Big tip! Beyond Rare! These historical recordings of a 1967 concert at Hope College in Michigan involving John Cage, Toshi Ichiyanagi and David Tudor, performing compositions by Ichiyanagi and Alvin Lucier, were recently discovered in an archive in Japan. The Lucier piece, "Music for Solo Performer", was the first musical composition to utilize human brainwaves; this 1967 performance, released here for the first time, is an early realization of the piece, featuring Tudor, Ichiyanagi and Lowell C…
Quartz Mirliton Cassettes
Biggest Tip! Quartz-Mirliton Cassettes has been among the most obscure of 1970s experimental music labels. This forthcoming VOD release, presented in two boxes, throws light on this mysterious cassette venture, its context and associated recordings. Closely associated with the London Musicians Collective, Quarz was launched by Paul Burwell and David Toop in 1977. Produced in tiny editions with handmade covers, the cassettes largely documented live sessions and field recordings made by a close ne…
Zermisz
*150 copies limited edition* If you have been paying close enough attention to the often strange yet alluring part of the world Richard Youngs operates in, you should have noticed that since the middle of 2025 he embarked on a new sonic journey that has subsequently become a trilogy of LPs on Fourth Dimension Records. Each of these is limited to 150 and is named after either a mythical Babylonian king or entity of Richard’s own devising, while the music itself has been of an instrumental nature …
Recordings 1979-1980
Galen Herod grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and began making electronic music in 1979 with equipment he had no money to buy commercially. His solution was his friend Gary Dukarich, an electronics hobbyist who designed and built oscillators, filters, and sequencers from scratch. Working with these handmade instruments and tape loops in the Phoenix area, Herod produced a series of cassettes that circulated primarily through the distributor Eurock and directly through personal contacts. His early tape …
