Les Sons Électroniques
… and we're back on track; Creel Pone here returning from a two-month hiatus with this superb collection of minimal bleepery from noted library music composer Cecil Leuter - aka Roger Roger - originally issued by the Neuilly label in 1971. This isn't…
Aguas Territoriales, Caballos
First Creel Pone double-artist twofer - odd, considering how many opportunities to handle things this way have arisen over the years - topically linked by the label that initially released them, Empresa Grabaciones R E M, or EGREM's Areito, and the t…
Sonoma
While Creel Pone has done a bang-up job at documenting non-Subotnick alternatives such as Michael Czajkowski's "People the Sky," Douglas Leedy's "Entropical Paradise", etc. there's, simply, not a lot of music out there made on the early Buchla system…
Electronic Music for Dance
Here’s a fine set of pieces, each showcasing the Buchla electric music box. Daria Semegen’s harmonic-series-rich “Arc” - composed at SUNY Stonybrook’s electronic music studio, established by mr. Arel in 1971 - at times recalls other era electronic “S…
Encore Electronic
After something of a break, Creel Pone returns, borne anew, with this reproduction of an obscure 1975 Standard Library offering (#ESL-133), dovetailing tracks by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop / White Noise member Brian Hodgson & previous Creel Pone "g…
Mental Sailing
After a short break - during which we all celebrated Creel Pone's 10th year of existence in style & the PTB worked quite hard at keeping the program's core largely available for a stretch - here's a reproduction of an unheard-of 1981 set of Electroni…
Espaces Sonores Nº 1
Long one of my all-time Holy Grail cannot-find-a-copy titles is the LP in question here; the 1969 EMI-label Arlette Sibon-Simonovitch recital / vehicle “Espaces Sonores Nº 1”, offering a side of specially-commissioned pieces each by spanish composer …
Artificial Horizons
Privately pressed on his Sandy Springs-based Horizons label in 1974, this is the sole release of Georgian home-studio Electronic Music maestro Tom Behrens. Hiding behind a glorious op-art sleeve, the music contained here is an inspired blend of noisy…
Electro-Sonnances
Ever since the Creel-production of Douglas Leedy’s “Entropical Paradise,” I’ve been wondering about the existence of any other “Automatic Electronic Music” released during the “Classic Era.” Lo & behold, Mr. P.C. C.P. has unearthed this “Private-ly” …
Sky-Sails+
While we're knocking off personal Holy Grail titles, here's an absolute corker; Ann Southam's 1973 Electronic Realization of the poet sean o huigin's "Sky-Sails." A continuous melding of o huigin's recitation against a coterie of keening, upper-regis…
Interpreta Obras • Musica Electroacústica
Issued in 1982 as a pair of separate lp’s by Hemis Ferio, this set covers the bulk of Spanish composer Andrés Lewin Richter’s Electro-Acoustic music (as opposed to his Library work - issued by Cam as a one-two-three punch of masterful mood-pieces und…
18 Days

l'Envol / Ambitus
Perfectly timed replication of the other - ref: “Kosmos,” issued 30 or so ‘Pones back - great André Almuró LP, initially issued by the oft-cited Boîte a Musique - aka Disques Bam or just BAM - imprint at the tail-end of the 1960s.Almuró started out w…
Kosmos : Musiques Expérimentales
Creel Pone here kicking off the 2007 season with a reproduction of this ludicrously hard-to-find 1969 LP on the Ades label containing four pieces composed at the tail-end of the Psychedelic era by Artaud / Breton / Genet collaborator and Pierre Schae…
The Black Iron That Fell From The Sky, to Dwell Within...
The inception of an audio trilogy concerning the Darkness of Aegypt: the shadow stuff from whence dark dreams come. The Triad: dark, light and the animating serpent power are delineated by the Egyptian Gods Set, Horus and the Apep serpent. Volume one…
Vs Abdel Baqy Byro in Cairo
Seemingly tossed-off spontaneity is the intoxicant with which Alvarius B vs Abdel Baqy Byro in Cairo is heavily laced. This 39- minute lenticular collage recalls Tangier-era William Burroughs in its concealment of structure behind a veneer of arbitra…

Limited edition black chrome cassette + 16 page booklet, offset printed on Munken Lynx Rough, 100 gsm, black ink."Russell says that what he does isn't music and has nothing to do with music. Dave is of a similar mind in that he doesn't give a fuck. M…

In den Garten Pharaos
CD version. In Den Gärten Pharaos" was originally issued in 1971, this time by Pilz, yet it wasn't precisely on the folk vein that Herr Rolf-Ulrich Kaiser was trying to keep the label into by those days. It's sound drinks directly from the same water…
Forever Alien
When Spacemen 3 -- the seminal, drone-indulgent English psych duo comprised of Peter Kember and Jason Pierce -- split in 1991, Pierce shuffled off to acclaim in Spiritualized. Meanwhile, Kember charted a less predictable course. As Sonic Boom, he…
