Sinestesia
*2023 stock. 100 copies limited edition. one sided sandpaper disc with three-fold insert & download code* Sinestesia (synesthesia) is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. This concept lays at the foundations of this compilation, the idea of collecting a whole spectrum of evocative, multi-sensorial music along with a sandpaper representation of a record, ideally thought to enhanc…
Syrian Edge
*2023 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Claudio Rocchetti succeeds in sublimating incoherent masses of noise and excerpts of daily routines: reinterpreting these acoustic signals through tape manipulation, he crafts sonic matter unheard before and yet somehow familiar, like ghosts from the past resurfacing from white noise, reflections on the mirror of memory, stratified into new euphonic languages.
Syrian Edge is the first act of Panorama – a triptych investigating the work of Claudio Rocchett…
Island Within An Island
*2023 stock. 150 copies limited edition* In the second act of Panorama, Claudio Rocchetti idealize self-discovery, embarking on a journey through a land once thriving and now stripped of every meaning.
Like a silent observer, he wanders through the meanders of a pale and intangible non-place, witnessing the residual memories of an urban cemetery: abandoned and decrepit structures, whose skeletons remain as a symbol of a lost daydream. Imperceptible frequencies of deafening silence leak the image…
Thy Eyes, The Betrayal
*2023 stock. 150 copies limited edition* Thy eyes, the betrayal is the third and final chapter of the Panorama trilogy by Claudio Rocchetti. A narrating voice leads the way through the rooms of an imaginary museum, an idealized path through life. Similarly to an endless crescendo, the ambience gradually becomes emptier. Distant voices and noises fall far away, out of reach. The choir becomes silent, solitary.
Memory binds past and present together, certainly influenced by the surrounding environ…
Ghost Or White Pavilion
*100 copies limited edition* Timber Rattle has always been mysterious and seclusive. In the past decade, the southwest Virginia-based music project has released an impressive number of cassettes, CD-Rs, LPs and digital-only recordings – sometimes overlapping with other monikers/projects that explore different depths of the same aural spectrum – yet they have managed to stay in the shadows, not prone to share more than necessary. This intimacy is also mirrored in the music: shamanic, meditative a…
The Dahlem Diaries
Music From Memory is pleased to present the new LP by Krefeld-born, Berlin-based artist Philipp Otterbach entitled 'The Dahlem Diaries'.
Alkaline River
Composer and synth fantasist Ori Barel attempts to bash '90s electronica against dadist Krautrock and avant classical music on the ambitious 'Alkaline River'. Think Plaid jamming with Art Bears and Faust and you'll have a good line into this one. There's an admirable level of mayhem to 'Alkaline River' that we can't help but admire. Barel clearly has a lot of love for his influences, and his willingness to take music that's at polar ends of the genre spectrum and find its harmonies is already wo…
Hi Score
Gatos Negros, aka Madrid DJs/ producers Christian C. & Iván Smoka, second album 'Hi Score' is a texture and abstraction gambling project now on sale via Vasco Ispirian's Made in Green Records label. 'Hi Score' sees the duo sailing ethereal ambient soundscapes, shady alt rock waves, experimental grooves almost horizontally danceable, acid electro-pop & avant-garde electronica- all in an utterly smart, consistent, and effective vocal fashion.
The album's fully hybrid and lethargic sonic land star…
Stasis
*2023 stock. 100 copies limited edition* A deposition of cold electronics and harsh frequencies to testify to the perpetual stagnation of reality. Nothing ever changes except the means through which this successful illusion is maintained. "Stasis" is an exploration, in seven chapters, of the diagrams of the power mechanisms caging us in an invisible prison: civilization. From the anointing ritual of ecstatic pain engrafting the mental germ, to its own epiphany, and to the final revelation: the w…
Anabasis
*200 copies limited edition* The new album of Nihil Impvlse, Anabasis, is the drone industrial soundtrack of the constant strife for the pursuit of progress. An ascent chased through conflict and war, mankind's path is oblivious of the past and unaware of the future. Yet, we march on. Amidst haunting clouds of ignorance, across shifting wastelands of history's debris. Our hands are dirty, our legacy is tainted. Yet, we fight on. Unheroic guerrillas in a constantly evolving struggle against space…

Levitation Elixir
*2023 stock* "Much of the time creative inspiration hits you in a sudden, explosive burst, and other times it seeps into your senses slowly, through practice, repetition, trial and error, or wandering. But then there are those weird fractures that open up a rift in something, somewhere, that was already in motion. An interruption. A fissure pushing hot air right up into an area you were standing in, and the sound and pressure and heat are too much to ignore and you have to do something about it …
Echos Through The Desert
*2023 stock* "This project would not be possible with out the support of Unsilent Desert Press, my family and all the ancestors and cousins who have been lost and forgotten. I hope sharing these stories with the world will help honor their spirit and stand testament to the effects of colonialism and assimilation on indigenous people. This album explores themes of echoes as a physical overlap of time, space, and memory. The noise of our environment reflects the histories of erasures of the indige…
Fantasy Zone
German musician Mary Yalex debuts on A Strangely Isolated Place depicting a storied transition from our recognizable surroundings, into a vision of the future. With releases and music styles across a variety of labels over the years, it has been Yalex’s more experimental ambient work that has stood out amongst her catalog, and in Fantasy Zone, we find Mary fine-tuning this sound to reflect the work of a true architect of storytelling, mood and atmosphere.
Drawing influences from her day-to-day s…
Unda
Claudio PRC's upcoming ambient album is a sonic journey through ethereal landscapes and intimate atmospheres. Drawing inspiration from the waves and their movement, "Unda" (in Sardinian native tongue "wave") evokes a sense of calmness and introspection. Throughout the whole piece, Claudio PRC creates a blend of meticulously crafted organic and synthetic elements that seamlessly integrates together, showcasing his versatility as an artist and his commitment to exploring all facets of electronic m…
Spirit Medicine
AI-34 arrives from Toki Fuko. Known previously for his contributions of deep and hypnotic techno, he presents on Astral Industries further development of his sound in this long-form work. A two-part sojourn into vibrant organic soundscapes and liminal sonic archaeologies, ‘Spirit Medicine’ is an ethereal yet human-centric venture into the realms of consciousness.
Soft chimes mark the opening, making way for expansive pads and the emergence of a bristling jungle panorama. Solitary flute melodies …
