*2025 stock* Nocturnal Emissions' releases throughout the 1980s are eclectic, adventurous and intermittently raw. 1991's "Cathedral" is something else entirely โ ritualistic, expansive, awe-inducing. It is at turns warm, ominous and ethereal. We could come up with adjectives all day, but it really must be heard to be believed. Originally released by Italy's Musica Maxima Magnetica, "Cathedral" finally gets its due on vinyl with a deluxe 2xLP edition featuring a large booklet with many of Nigel Aโฆ
Limited Anniversary Edition: hand numbered, White vinyl, 500 copies available! Released in 1975, this second full-length stands as perhaps the most uncompromising statement in the Heldon catalog - a work that refuses all concessions to accessibility while remaining utterly compelling from first pulse to final fade.ย Where the debut balanced Pinhas's most extreme impulses with moments of relative calm, Allez-Tรฉia feels like an artist completely unleashing his vision without concern for consequenceโฆ
Groggy, engrossing new work from Ulla under their newly minted U.e. tag, riffing to the sublime on a set of (mostly) acoustic reveries that tap into the kind of smokey vapours favoured by the likes of Vincent Gallo, Voice Actor, Jonnine. Oh aye, itโs a special one.
A new year, label, album and handle for Ulla, a multifaceted artist who has draped our pages with wonder, under numerous aliases and collabs, for almost a decade. On โHometown Girlโ they distill transience and flux into a quiet set ofโฆ
CEM has gained international notoriety over the past years for bewitching club and festival audiences alike with his feverish, polymorphic and richly referential DJ sets. For his debut full-length album, FORMA, the Berlin-based Herrensauna founder momentarily departs the dancefl oor, instead contributing a refl ective and at times menacing compositional study on terror and temporal anachronism for our perplexing times. All six pieces were originally commissioned to accompany Portuguese artist Maโฆ
Ecstatic presents I Can Hear The Grass Grow, the transportive new album from Mancunian duo Celestial. Expanding on the bucolic dreamstates of their previous work, this latest release unfurls like dawn mist over dewy fields, steeped in fragile fingerpicking guitar aching with hushed intimacy.
Where Listen to the Sky traced the heavens, I Can Hear The Grass Grow sinks into the earthโits organic, fungal textures blossoming in layers of acoustic and electric guitar, droning harmoniums, and shimmerinโฆ
Spool is a multi-disciplinary, collaborative project by musician and producer Florian TM Zeisig and artist and perfumer Angel Paradise. The project came about when both artists were living in Hinang, a small farming village in the Bavarian Alps. The work embodies a period of isolation, reflection and personal awakening. Florian TM Zeisig has a distinctive ability to weave compositions that feel weightless yet deeply evocative. His music carries a profound tendernessโa soulful presence that lingeโฆ
Kevin Drumm's "Neither Here Nor There" transforms 2+ hours of liminal drone into revelatory ritual. Dense, meditative compositions from 2018-19 explore existential boundaries between presence/absence. Vaknar's triple cassette edition captures minimalism as focused intensityโendurance test meets religious experience.
Somewhere is a place we have been waiting years to experience: a climate of sounds and spirits that gathers quietly and disperses with hazy grace, the result of a chance connection and long term correspondence. Over the past decade, ambient drone composer zakรจ (aka Zach Frizzell) has established his identity with numerous solo works, and his open-minded approach to peers has resulted in a complement of communal efforts; Pallette (who chooses to be known only by that moniker) has crafted no fewerโฆ

Mysterious places inaccessible to humanity, cruel magical dungeons, a noble lineage of guardian warriors and a terrible gang of ruthless bugbears... These are the settings you will experience in this new sparkling episode of HDK Adventureโฆ
Since the release of Ammar 808's debut ยปMaghreb Unitedยซ(2018) โ a rumbling pan-North African electronic classic โ the Tunisian producer has been in the vanguard of artists navigating the intersection of traditional and contemporary sonics.
His deep-rooted, room-shaking 3rd album ยปClub Tounsiยซ isnโt just a powerful statement of his Tunisian identity. Itโs also a joyous celebration of the dancefloor, blending Mezoued rhythms and instrumentation with an impossibly infectious blast of bass-heavy futโฆ
*300 copies limited edition* Slowly yet firmly blooming into focus,ย An Unfinished Rose is the new album from Australian duo Troth. This is their first since relocating to Hobart, Tasmania and their introduction to Night School Records. With a detailed web of past releases on labels A Colourful Storm, Mammas Mysteriska Jukebox, Knekelhuis and Bowmanโs own Altered States Tapes imprint, An Unfinished Rose is the groupโs most realised and composed work thus far.

"Everything has changed, and it is changing still. The early days of 2025 (an already baleful year, vis-a-vis Americaโs darkening political horizon) have wrought heretofore unimaginable destruction in the land we now call Los Angeles. The wildfires that began on the morning of Tuesday, January 7thโand which are still ragingโare, in scope and intensity, unlike any other disaster, natural or manmade, in the cityโs living memory. Thousands of homes destroyed. Twenty four lives lost at the time of wโฆ
Originally released on Beta-lactam Ring as just 25 CDR copies, this mutated voice recording nightmare has been reassembled and remastered by Colin Potter. Possibly the strangest Nurse release of all time.
Moving from chaotic big band absurdity to African-inspired polyrhythms, cold techno and smoky ambient passages, Nurse With Wound's essential compilation returns with new Babs Santini artwork. A disorienting patchwork that serves as both historical document and standalone masterwork.
1997 release ** "Excellent debut album by two mysterious musicians from Wales/UK. Their music sounds like they have adapted parts of 'Sternklang' by Karlheinz Stockhausen for ten distorted guitars. Their focus is upon pure noise with an intent to locate, draw out and revel in it's hitherto hidden harmonies. Using the rough sound of variegated tape-manipulations with some acoustic instruments such as flutes and woodblocks they enjoy to produce feedback drenched drone chaos that flutters and filteโฆ
1994 release ** "Voice Of Eye have a strangely unique sound. They manage to combine Ambient beauty with dark mystery and make the two seem like natural bedfellows. I guess that's the true image of what Gothic should be - angelic choruses sung in deep, cavernous cathedrals which might just have been naturally-formed caves - visions of holiness which might just concentrate too obsessively on the kind of things one might encounter posthumously if one doesn't live a 'Good Christian' life - demons, Sโฆ
