This work is produced by Henry Kawahara, following the well-received Cybernetic Defiance and Orgasm: The Essential Henry Kawahara, and one of rare 'vocal pieces' produced by him is now available on one-sided 7" and digital.
"Minami-kaze α Wave (Southerly wind alpha wave)" is, as far as we know, the only 'vocal piece' that Henry Kawahara has produced, and released under the name HMD (H Music Deperception) in 1993. The song is a vocal version of the cyber-occult exotic instrumental piece "Nanpu" i…
Takao's new album is a rare attempt to recreate a previously released 2018 album. He has re-recorded his debut album "Stealth" and presents it here as a completely new work. This is a 50-minute full-length album with two new tracks, "Moon" and "Seven Sands". This new "Stealth" is subtitled 'Gold Edition'. The cover of the CD version is a swanky dual metallic silver and gold print. CD comes with a standard jewel case. Obi attached.
"Stealth" is the aptly-titled debut album from Tokyo-based compos…
2008 release ** "What the acronym means is a mystery, I do know that R.Y.N. is from the UK and consists of Pete Burn (Marzuraan) and Lee Glaister (Romance). Astral Death is the first full album after a 7" on Drone Records. I also know that Astral Death is a collection of murky ambient drones. A metallic reverberating drone and an organ chord make up opening track Conscious Patient. The constant soundpressure is dazing. The Cleansing echoes ominously but is less numbing, it's surrounding you with…
Wolfgang Voigt makes a return to Astral Industries, seeing the continuation of his long-running Rückverzauberung (Reverse Enchantment) series. In line with previous volumes, one may expect the unconventional, idiosyncratic sound Voigt is reputed for. ‘Im Tunnel’ however, takes a more concentrated viewpoint - a metaphysical transmutation that brings with it an experience of mind-melting drones and swelling intensity.
Entering the tunnel is like opening a portal, but as the fabric of time-space b…
"It all originates from a state between dream and reality - a drunkenness. Each title alludes to something blurry, abstract, or even unfinished. The next day, you wake up and don't know if what you did was, or simply wasn't. A distinctive endeavor with a somewhat lo-fi filter, featuring ambient touches, experimental dub elements, and holistically defined as avant-garde." New identity for new music, Bastien is part of anonymous Barcelona. And little more can be said about him.
This release is a journey, a weaving together of fleeting visions from parallel, yet intertwined sonic realms. It ventures boldly through a rich tapestry of sounds and textures, each track born not from rigid intention but from an unrelenting pursuit of the elusive, those shimmering, transient spaces in the soundscape, like the mysterious limbo of Vaalbara. The music unfolded live, forged in real-time with an arsenal of synthesizers. In these moments, delicate interactions gave way to sudden sto…
Matt Shoemaker's art focuses upon the treatment of sonic phenomena. Shoemaker manipulates sound, sourced from both natural and electronic means, in an affected and often grotesque manner, so as to convey compositions that uniquely imagine a space encrypted to the point of vanishing definition.
Comes in 4-panel cover in plastic wallet. Edition of 30 copies. "Because it's so much fun to make: another beat-oriented snack, after Hinkelstap, Tuimelval, Haast, and Kadans. As with the others, I'm not sure if it's any good, but let's hope y'all enjoy it."
Business card CDr. "It was about time that I released a business card CDr again. I also had this drawing which I thought would work great as a cover image. The only thing I had to do is make the music for it. So here it is. It turned out a bit dramatic, stylistically, with desolate fog horn like swells and faint electronic rumblings. It's all quite sombre, but with all the horrible conflicts in the world today, what else could I do?"

2006 release ** Cardboard sleeve. The project Uton was started by Jani Hirvonen in Tampere, Finland in 2001. Uton is a spirit, which has no form, but which can take a form if it likes; usually in a sound - which can be found from the Uton releases. The sound and energy is produced and manifested with the help of human; collaborating with our earthly vibrations. From the beginning the sound has been strongly experimental and improvised, but the methods of doing has been changed between the album…
2010 release ** Limited edition of 100 copies in cardboard sleeve. Collaboration with mise_en_scene (Shay Nassi). Source material: field recordings - Berlin, Germany - recorded by Simon Whetham.
2010 release ** "Between bedroom and cyberspace, star fields and samples, the infinite measure of a minimalist journey through electronics with awareness and low-fi style, circling technology and absorbing its rhythmic essence. Like in old science fiction films, listening to "Unknown Language" is a journey through circuits and future realities, MIDI and laptops, video games and unexplored depths, where each track reproduces itself with multiple sounds and effects until reaching an hour of music,…
Songs for the Nervous System is the debut full-length album by Swedish producer Autorhythm, envisioned by Joakim Forsgren, a visual artist and former bassist of several punk and rock groups, who hereby shows his remarkable skills at crafting head nodding beats and complex rhythms with his analogue vintage gear.

The new edition also includes the previously unreleased track “…
Few artists have captured the unsettling beauty of the fusion between flesh and machine as hauntingly as Hans Ruedi Giger. His biomechanical visions, cathedrals of bone and chrome, embryonic nightmares suspended in steel wombs, eroticism bound in cold circuitry, have etched themselves into the collective unconscious. Giger unveiled a world that feels eerily familiar, as if drawn from the depths of a shared ancestral dream or a post-human future already unfolding.
Born in Chur, Switzerland, in 1…
In English, the Shona word "Useza" means someone of great skill, meticulousness, and precision, and it perfectly illuminates Sekuru Chaka Chawasarira's lifelong practice. The eminent Zimbabwean artist and educator is among the last remaining masters of the matepe, a large mbira-style instrument that's played with both thumbs and index fingers to expand its rhythmelodic complexity. And on 'Useza', he fully demonstrates the matepe's illusory potential, overdubbing hypnotic sequences to provoke shi…
