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…

Diastima
On Diastima, Luigi Turra moves inside Sylvain Chauveau’s sparse graphic scores with a hyper‑reduced electroacoustic vocabulary, turning each page into a fragile interval of tension, suggestion and nearly vanishing sound.
Free Jazz and Improvisation on LP and CD, 1965-2024 (Book)
Tip! 428 pages. This is exactly what we need. Big time. Johannes Rød returns with the massively expanded edition of his essential guide - a monument of discographic research spanning six decades of creative music documentation. 381 pages plus 47 unnumbered pages of label artwork. 185 labels mapped with obsessive detail and passionate advocacy.

For the Birds
Edition of 250. Deluxe edition + insert. For eighteen months, between 1984 and 1985, Patrick Lysaght played flute, strings, and percussion inside the Rainforest Birdhouse at the Rio Grande Zoo in Albuquerque, New Mexico. His audience and collaborators: 150 birds of 42 species.
The result is one of the earliest and most radical documents of interspecies improvisation. Predating the current wave of sound ecology by decades, For The Birds sits comfortably alongside the biophonic research of Bernie …
Numbers 1&2
On Numbers 1 & 2, Lester Bowie joins Malachi Favors, Joseph Jarman and Roscoe Mitchell in a pre‑Art Ensemble crucible where AACM discipline, raw timbral play and open‑form swing coalesce into a blueprint for the Chicago future.
Old / Quartet Sessions
On Old/Quartet Sessions, Roscoe Mitchell’s 1967 Art Ensemble - with Lester Bowie, Malachi Favors and Phillip Wilson - appears in raw formation, sketching the grammar that would soon detonate as one of free music’s most inventive bands.
Trees without Leaves
Paul Nova entered the British minimal synth scene in 1980 as part of Bizarre Unit, the project that produced the single Dancing / Away from the Screaming Car (1981), the lone Bizarre Unit 7" that immediately became one of the most sought-after artefacts of the early UK minimal wave movement. In 1982, working alone, he founded his own Exhibit One Records and over the next three years released four vinyl records: two 7"s, a 12", and the LP Trees Without Leaves (1984). All four are now practically …
Saga of the Outlaws
On Saga of the Outlaws, Charles Tyler turns his Albert Ayler-honed fire into a single, 36‑minute “polyphonic sonic tale,” driving a rough-riding Rivbea band through chants, stampedes and long, wind-scarred horizons of sound.
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…
Unfold
(Last Copies!) 2026 small repress. Ideologic Organ present Unfold, brand-new recordings from The Necks, the legendary Australian trio who excel in bypassing musical cliche whilst exploring and extending the practices embedded within improvisation, jazz, post rock, ambient, minimal, and textural, "sound based" music. The latest document from this long-running ensemble presents itself as a double LP, with four side-length tracks. A deliberate absence of numbered sides hands a substantial swatch of…
Sei Note in Logica
Roberto Cacciapaglia is an Italian composer and pianist who started out in the fertile Milan avant-garde scene of the 1970s, which included Franco Battiato, Giusto Pio, Lino Capra Vaccina, Francesco Messina, among others. After studying at the conservatory, he worked at RAI's Studio of Musical Phonology – an electronic music laboratory similar to NDR/WDR in Germany, GRM/IRCAM in France or BBC Radiophonic Workshop. Originally released in 1979, Sei Note In Logica (Six Notes In Logic) is Cacciapagl…
The Black Record
Necessary reissue of a truly seminal, minimalist totem and founding document of the avant-garde underground!
interius/exterius
*Limited edition of 300 copies.* A striking new addition to the evolving catalog of Berlin-based composer Catherine Lamb, 'interius/exterius' is a long-form chamber nonet developed through a sustained dialogue with the musicians of New York’s Ghost Ensemble. Scored for flute, oboe, accordion, viola, cello, four- and five-string contrabasses, harp, and hammered dulcimer, the work investigates how collective intentions or focal points allow various and sometimes unusual sonic pathways to emerge in…
Orbital
The Outskirts came together as a working band during bassist Ingebrigt Håker Flaten’s three-year stint as a Chicagoan from 2005-2008. They played regularly at all of the working venues for improvised music in Chicago at that time, including The Hungry Brain, The Velvet Lounge, The Hideout, and Elastic. They even made a live recording in April 2009 that they were eager to release. But unfortunately, the multi-track audio files were lost in a hard drive mishap, leaving only a barely usable rough m…
TripleAkuma
TripleAkuma is the third in a series of essential live documents from Merzbow. The stage and the studio are not the same place, and Merzbow has an acute understanding of this juxtaposition. Whilst the sheer density of the music might be maintained across both spheres, the live experience of Merzbow is truly something that exists as profoundly physical and moreover, overtly performative.
Merzbow’s live methodologies draw not just from a saturation of frequency at all levels, but a recognition of …
What We Do When in Silence
Huge Tip! * Limited edition of 300 copies, Embossed cover, comes with insert and postcard * Killer record here! Three Italian heavyweights doing what they do best - radical improvisation that sits somewhere between electronics, silence, and pure Mediterranean mystery. This is the real deal. Nicola Ratti, Alessandra Novaga, and Enrico Malatesta - three names you need to know if you're serious about contemporary improvised music.
The sound? Imagine if AMM had been born in Southern Europe with lapt…
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…
