Music from United Kingdom

A record made for the ones we lost. Oli Heffernan returns with his fourth album for Riot Season - an expansive double LP that carries with it a deep personal history and years of unfinished business. The earliest sessions date back to 2018 at the IDI in Middlesbrough, engineered by longtime collaborator Nigel Crooks over the course of three weekends. Then life happened. The material was shelved, left to gather dust for reasons that accumulated and compounded. When Crooks passed away in 2023, com…

*Limited edition of 100 copies* Finally! The crucial 2021 album by Middlesbrough's Oli Heffernan gets the double vinyl treatment it always deserved. Originally released as a cassette on Cruel Nature Records and gone way too fast, Autodidact II is one of the great documents of UK experimental music from this decade - a sprawling, fog-drenched journey through psychogeography, North Yorkshire folklore and sonic territories that shift under your feet. Recorded during three separate sessions in July …

Death Is Not The End reissue Mark Vernon's sought-after 2013 collection Sounds of a Modern Hospital on vinyl & cassette formats. Whilst every effort has been made to record the subject in as great a degree of isolation as possible, the sound recordings you will hear on this record were made in a real working hospital and not under controlled conditions. Therefore, on occasion, you may hear some unavoidable background noise, conversations and other extraneous sounds. All recordings were made by M…

On Threewave, 36 gathers Wave Variations, Symmetry Systems and Reality Engine into a single arc of luminous machine melancholia: a five‑year study in concise synth miniatures where strict limitations yield ever‑wider emotional and conceptual horizons.

"Messiaen traded his goods for brain rot. Mark Harwood, the elusive Penultimate Press helmsman, slips into character again—plural, fractured, unreliable. Two Actors plays like a dialogue without a script: human versus machine, or one man arguing with his own shadow. Unlike his first solo record, "A Perfect Punctual Paradise..” voices only mumble and stumble on occasion. Here the “Actor(s)” appear in a variety of forms; sincere, female, mocking, beautiful, journalistic, operatic and more. Digital…

The Silent Trumpets carries all the hallmarks for which Rapoon is revered: deep, immersive drones, gentle melodic movement, and an understated sense of ritual that slowly unfolds across the listening experience. From the opener “Real Life” to the luminous closer “Stars Over the Northern Skies,” the album moves through shadow and light, tension and release, crafting a world that feels both intimate and vast. Pieces like the title track “The Silent Trumpets” and “I Love You” blend warmth with a ce…

While most holidaymakers in Greece lounge by the pool, soak up the sun on sandy beaches, or pick up a few souvenirs, British jazz pianist Greg Foat took a different path last year. Inspired by the island of Samos, he returned not with trinkets, but with Impressions of Samos – a captivating album blending synthesizer, grand piano, and traditional Greek folk instruments with immersive field recordings. Teaming up with Sokratis Votskos and The Giorgos Pappas Trio on Blue Crystal Records, Foat craft…

Tape. Digital download included.  The train starts towards blackpool. the enemy streets are full of revellers, and we know what they are celebrating. last night’s fiasco. now we can tell you the next day was the same, only worse, that they had caught on and they just had to face the truth, that a real rain would come, beyond belief, washing away an audience of no one. Storm electronics by Dave Padbury. Packaged in custom coffin clamshell case.

With Antibes, The New Blockaders compress twelve years of activity into a fiercely curated 4CD set, 100 copies only, each hand‑signed and uniquely defaced. It plays like a late‑period labyrinth: alternates, rarities, and lost shards arranged as a single, anti‑retrospective.

On Succès De Scandale, The New Blockaders exhume and reframe their own history, collaging a feral 1984 Morden Tower performance with later materials into a single, rust‑coloured slab of anti‑music that feels like the group’s original sabotage reactivated for the present.

The Don Rendell - Ian Carr quintet, created in 1963, was,a small Brit jazz group that took the country by storm and was well received in Europe and in limited circles in the United States. The band developed a unique sound that came out of hard bop and moved through many different phases, developing a unique musical language before they reached the mountain top of creative expresión.

On Spirit Of Eden, Talk Talk dissolve the idea of a “band” into a hushed, slow‑burning soundscape, six long pieces where jazz, blues, chamber music, and near‑silence fuse into something that feels less like an album and more like a single, ritual act of listening.

The complete studio works of one of the most uncompromising groups in the history of European avant-rock. Born from the ashes of Henry Cow in 1978, Art Bears distilled the political fury and musical adventurism of their parent band into three albums of dark, brilliant songs that remain as bracing and relevant today as when they were recorded. The story begins with a schism. During sessions for what was intended as a Henry Cow album, disagreements arose over content - Fred Frith and Chris Cutler …

There are albums that defy categorization, records that exist in a space entirely their own. Comus' 1971 debut is one such work - an album that, over fifty years later, still sounds like nothing else ever recorded. Formed in Beckenham in the late 1960s, Comus emerged from the same South London arts scene that nurtured a young David Bowie - indeed, they performed at his legendary Beckenham Free Festival in August 1969. But while their contemporaries in the British folk revival looked back to trad…

The complete and essential discography of one of the most uncompromising and intellectually rigorous bands to emerge from the Canterbury scene - finally available again in pristine Japanese mini-LP sleeve editions with remasters on high-quality SHM-CD! Fred Frith and Tim Hodgkinson formed Henry Cow while students at Cambridge University in 1968, and what followed was a decade of radical, politically charged, absolutely brilliant music that drew equally from free improvisation, contemporary class…

*150 copies limited edition* Zulaqrex, named after a mythical being that only exists in Richard Youngs’ head, is the album sequel to the now practically sold out Zerkelus LP and once again features themed artwork and is limited to 150 copies. Like its predecessor, Zulaqrex consists of two side-long tracks both given the same name as the title and once more charting a course into the beyond via a hypnotic approach that even some fantastically stumbling percussion cannot offset. Also employing shi…

*100 copies limited edition* Confront Recordings, the vanguard of adventurous music since 1996, proudly unveils Be S-Mart, a riveting new album capturing the spontaneous brilliance of improvising masters Steve Beresford, Pierpaolo Martino, and Mark Sanders.

This trio forges a sonic landscape t…
