Regel
Oblio, a brand new imprint dedicated to reissues from the moodier spectrum of Italian experimental music, launches into action with the first ever fully remastered vinyl reissue of Maurizio Bianchi's 1982 private press masterstroke “Regel”. A seminal cornerstone of early '80s Italian experimentalism, Industrial music, and noise - long hunted by collectors - that is regarded as one of Bianchi's most definitive works - bristling various sound sources, electronics, and synths - more than 40 years o…
Yoshinotsune
* Edition of 199 copies * Between 1999 and 2000. By the early 2000s, Merzbow had entered a markedly new phase. The tape collages, junk electronics, and analogue chains that had defined his work across the 1980s and 1990s gave way to a digital practice built around laptop, software processing, and a rigorously composed approach to harsh noise. Across releases such as Merzbeat (2002), Animal Magnetism (2003), and the present album, Masami Akita reorganised his vocabulary around dense, sculpted str…

New Directions In Music 2
Morton Feldman’s New Directions in Music 2 is one of the true cornerstones of modern classical music. Originally released in 1959, the album captures Feldman at the very beginning of his radical journey into sound, space and silence, developing the sparse, floating language that would go on to influence generations of experimental composers and ambient musicians alike. With cover artwork by abstract painter Philip Guston and clear parallels to the chance-based ideas of John Cage, the record perf…
Heavy Water
Magic Tuber Stringband probes the undercurrents of the landscapes around them. Highly skilled players and writers, the trio are leaders within the burgeoning avant composition world utilizing folk instrumentation. Their music appears to weave in and out of the fabric of their surroundings, reflecting their time spent living across the Southeast and studying its regional folk traditions and natural histories. The ensemble continues to stretch the parameters of acoustic instrumental expression wit…
Malenčyk / Lami

Outtakes
Our first personal contact with Bryn Jones was in 1995 when the Muslimgauze album "Silknoose" came out on my Daft Records label and the contact was always excellent. He knew that Eric, who did the mastering, and I loved his music since the beginning. Later on we planned a mini CD with 4 Muslimgauze / Sonar and 4 Sonar / Muslimgauze remixes so we exchanged some audio pieces to work with and to our great surprise Bryn sent us two DAT tapes with 16 remixes in total with the message "Any plans you h…
Let the Spirit Out/Live at 'Mu' London
Big tip! This is it! Chicago spiritual jazz master Kahil El'Zabar delivers one of the most powerful live recordings in recent memory! Captured over two unforgettable nights at "mu" in London - July 15th & 16th, 2024 - this is music as ancient ritual, as communion, as healing force. El'Zabar created new material specifically for these performances, alongside reimagined arrangements of classics like Wayne Shorter's "Footprints", Gershwin's "Summertime", and Duke Ellington & Juan Tizol's "Caravan".…
Secret Passage
Growing up in deindustrialized Providence, Rhode Island in the 1970s and 1980s provided NYC-based composer and interdisciplinary artist Gavilán Rayna Russom access to derelict subterranean spaces including the mile-long East Side Rail Tunnel. The tunnel's reverberant darkness would produce distinctive sensory effects and host Russom's formative experiences of interpersonal connectedness, liminality, transgender identity, anti-capitalist desire and state repression.Secret Passage – an absorbing, …

Tatemono

V.I.R.U.S.
Tip! Noton releases the Limited Edition CD Box Set of Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto’s V.I.R.U.S. Pioneers in their own musical approaches, Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto, began their exploration of sound in the evocatively titled V.I.R.U.S. series in 2002. After more than a decade from the release of the collection’s final installment with Summvs in 2011, Noton reissued all the five albums between May and November 2022.
With its impressionistic atmosphere, in this collaborative project two genera…
Malenkost
Cindy Lee is the brainchild of singer / guitarist Patrick Flegel. While some may know Flegel from their time spent in Canadian experimental indie band Women, Cindy Lee has spent the past four years crafting songs that push and pull in opposing directions – from tales of tragedy laced with haywire distortion to moments of breathtaking beauty.
On Malenkost, Flegel combines everything that makes Cindy Lee so essential: heart-wrenching romantic pleas, rough shards of noise and twilit ballads. Featur…
A Sucked Orange
Very, very broadly speaking, there are two kinds of Nurse With Wound albums: the sprawling, immersive, evolving drone-type recordings - think Soliloquy for Lilith, Salt Marie Celeste - and the wild, surreal freak-outs. A Sucked Orange is a prime example of the latter. Originally released by United Dairies at the end of the 1980s, A Sucked Orange has long been out of print, especially on vinyl. Infinite Fog is beyond happy to bring this singular work back as a 2LP picture-vinyl edition in a sumpt…
Kel Tamasheq
Studio album from Bamako-based Tuareg band Amanar de Kidal. "Kel Tamasheq” is years in the making, a self produced DIY album, recorded in the small studios of the Malian capital over the past few years.
Carrying on in the tradition of assouf, the Northern Malian style of Tuareg guitar popularized by artists like Tinariwen, Amanar pushes the sound forward into tight upbeat groove and kinetic rhythms, reflecting the rich diversity of Mali and the energy of the capital. The band takes its name from…
SOS "In A Sentimental Mood"
Born in 1945 near Hiroshima, eighty years old in a year that marks eighty years since the war, Akira Sakata hands this one over almost humbly, which is not a word you often reach for with him. In a Sentimental Mood is the first record by his new trio Akira Sakata SOS, the alto and clarinet veteran flanked by pianist Nana Omori and his own son on drums, Manabu Sakata. They open with the Duke Ellington ballad you think you know, all velvet and nostalgia, and then Omori climbs onto the tips of her …
Off Off
*300 copies limited edition. Exact reproduction of the original folded screenprinted cover (when open dimensions are 69.7cm x 62.30 cm). Screenprinted innersleeves.* When Off Off came out around June 1984, one couldn’t speak of an independent music scene in Portugal. Warm Records’ vague existence didn’t have any impact and Dansa do Som’s inaugural release appeared only in December. 10 years after the revolution, after two IMF interventions, a lot of political instability (not to say turmoil, in …
