Lucifer Over London
"I was obsessed, am obsessed, by The Groundhogs, so gave C93 a chance to cover their perfect "Sad-Go-Round" from their perfect Solid album. I also loved Black Sabbath, but had listened to them so much that I never wanted to hear them again. So Michael Cashmore's Perfect Playing of their intro to "Paranoid" was Perfect Way To Wave GoodBye to them, and slip into my visions of Lucifer Over London, May G+D damn him again. "The Seven Seals_" I wrote whilst sitting at my desk in my Then House in Aubre…
Haus Der Lüge
Einstürzende Neubauten pushes the industrial humor to new creative peaks; taking a genre of music only meant to offend and confuse people into even more ***ed up territories. The music is surprisingly tragic, strangely moving, and is an experience that can only be called 'artistic'.
Natural World
Natural World by Laurence Crane offers an expansive and quietly subversive study in sonic ecology, blending piano, soprano, and field recordings. Written for Juliet Fraser and Mark Knoop, the piece unfolds over three movements, combining encyclopedic texts, birdsong, and elemental musical motives in a measured fifty-five-minute reflection on beauty and environmental fragility.

Melopea
Super tip! Black Truffle is pleased to announce Melopea, presenting two new pieces highlighting the incredible voice of Amelia Cuni (1958-2024), the great Italian singer, based in Berlin in later life, whose mastery of the classical Indian dhrupad developed in parallel with a commitment to contemporary experimental approaches.

The Light Is Leaving Us All
"The Light Is Leaving Us All is one of the C93 albums that haunts me the most.

Ouroboros
2024 stock. Ouroboros is an ancient symbol dating back more than 4000 years. A snake or dragon eats its own tail, and represents eternity, or the circularity of life. A more modern interpretation might suggest that mankind will eventually consume itself once it finishes consuming all the life and resources on Earth. Snake species are in decline just about everywhere. Agriculture, pesticide use, roads that separate breeding populations, habitat loss, decreased food supply and predation by other a…
Seddok, L'Erede di Satana
In 1960, when Armando Trovajoli composed the soundtrack for Anton Giulio Majano's horror film Seddok, L'Erede Di Satana (known internationally as Atom Age Vampire and Lycanthropus), the landscape of electronic music was still in its infancy. The Moog synthesizer wouldn't reach commercial availability until 1964. Wendy Carlos' groundbreaking Switched-On Bach was still eight years away. Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream, and the entire krautrock movement lay a decade in the future. Yet here was Trovajoli…
Perception

Recently reissued to renewed acclaim, Percep…

Maracaibo Cornpone
This is Masaaki Kikuchi's first produced work. This is a spiritual masterpiece with a floating feeling produced with superb ECM members, including the title track with its primitive rhythm and Kikuchi's pleasant electric piano.
Hakanasa
Recorded between 2023 and 2024, Hakanasa finds Kazuma Kubota refining his blend of noise, quiet atmospherics, and precise dynamics. The material moves between subtle textures and sharp bursts of harsh noise with a calm and deliberate sense of pacing.
