Amazing french performance recorded live in Lyon on the 17th of January 1976. The classic line-up comprising of Holger Czukay (bass), Michael Karoli (guitar), Jaki Liebezeit (drums) and Irmin Schmidt (keyboards), is here strengthened by malaysian vocalist Thaiga Raj Raja Ratnam, who played a mere four dates with the band between January and March 1976, all of which were recorded, and did considerable studio work with them. A series of highlights from their repertoire stretched with improvising t…

**300 copies** As far as we can knowl, TRjj stems from TRIIMusik, “a loose group based in Germany since 1998”. It is practiced collectively with interchanging names and roles, so the full control about disguised authorship would be guaranteed. Everyone involved was set to meet half way. TRjj is a filter for the kinship of many. It's the freedom attained, once you have gotten rid of yourself. This heteronomic practice would be ideal to advocate against reasons which are claimed, biographies that …

Praised by Quentin Tarantino as one of the greatest films from Australian New Wave cinema, Next Of Kin (1982) was a highly stylised psychological thriller in the bloody tradition of European art-Horror. Scored by none other than ex-Tangerine Dream/Ash Ra Tempel drummer and German electronic music pioneer Klaus Schulze, the music featured in the film was a unique hybrid of pulsing Giallo-moods and hypnotic Berlin-School electronica. Due to the limited availability of the film over the years, rumo…

**Edition of 500. 180 gram vinyl** Fantôme Phonographique present a reissue of Serenata I/Sonatine/Canteyodjaya/Zeitmasze, originally released in 1958. The avant-garde composer and conductor Pierre Boulez was a titan of post-war experimental classical music. Born in the small cheesemaking town of Montrbrison in central France in 1925, Boulez studied at the Paris Conservatoire with the composer and organist Charles Messiaen and received private tuition from pianist Andrée Vaurabourg; after moving…

**300 copies** Answering a need for sincerity and intimacy in overwhelming times, Berlin’s Perila makes her striking solo debut on sferic with a blush-worthy suite of sonic erotica, ASMR and sensuous ambient environments. Born in St. Petersburg and based in Berlin, Alexandra Zakharenko aka Perila cut her teeth as in-house designer and programmer at the recently defunct Berlin Community Radio (BCR) before co-founding the Russian online station radio.syg.ma, which hosted one of her early productio…

High quality live FM radio broadcast of a concert that Can played in Hannover on 11 April 1976. The four-piece in brilliant shape surfin’ the cosmos with special guest Michael Cousins on vocals.

The machine lives. 1997 saw Kraftwerk playing live for the first time in four whole years, and they chose Luton as their stomping ground. Live at Tribal Gathering sees the krautrock pioneers re-emerge from their robot lab, they even decided to give their audience a shock and perform brand new material.

Previously unreleased tapes from the Kluster co-founder and restless electronic pioneer. Cold, pulsing sequencer patterns and alien tone-colours map an imaginary planet: raw, hypnotic and unmistakably Schnitzler, from his vast archive.

The first side of this fine album features three tracks (Tanzmusik, Kometenmelodie, Klingklang) from a live show in Denver (Colorado) during Kraftwerk's first tour of America in spring 1975. The second side is occupied by a 26 minutes version of their first robotic big hit Autobahn, recorded in Köln in March during the same year. Another great document from one the groundbreaking electronic music bands of all times.

Recorded live in July 1969 during the same sessions that gave birth to their classic debut album Monster Movie. The album contains rawer versions of classics tracks such as Yoo Doo Right and Outside My Door. This was Can at the very beginning of their career, before they would become widely known as one of the 70's Krautrock most iconic bands. A full catalogue of minimal grooves and extended song forms that would influence generations to come. Holger Czukay - bass, Jacki Liebezeit - drums, Micha…

Limited edition of 300 copies. White/Clear splatter vinyl, housed in a heavyweight 350gsm, matte-finished sleeve. See Through is a new collaboration between Aidan Baker (Nadja), Faith Coloccia (Mamiffer, Mara, Sige Records) and renowned percussionist Jon Mueller. "The project was brought to life through Baker exploring textural rhythms created by sampling small, sharp and abrupt sounds on the electric guitar and then sequencing them in a drum machine to form the bedrock of the tracks. Mueller th…

Features the definitive version of Browne's 'These Days,' as well as classics like the title track and Tim Hardin's 'Eulogy For Lenny Bruce."Although Chelsea…

A collaborative 7” featuring the talents of author, musician and columnist Max Goldt reconstituted by self confessed dadaist Felix Kubin and beat-box master Mark Boombastik. Side-A sees Kubin and Boombastic applying a new skin to Goldt's hotel room reading of 'Fog Frog'. In this case, a break-beat techno/mid '90s drum 'n' bass skin that most definitely features the sound of radiators being hit with sticks. Flip it and we are taken back to 1983 for a re-run of Goldt's 'post-feminist pre-ejaculati…
