Addio esseri di polvere
de’ Lamperi is the alias of Florence-based interdisciplinary artist Francesco Toninelli. Conceived as a sound-focused multidisciplinary performance, "Addio esseri di polvere" (“Farewell, dust creatures”) is a haunting soundscape that unfolds against a 17th-century fantasy-like backdrop. A succession of gestures and environments conjures a dense symbolism, triggering a semantic upheaval: in keeping with his interdisciplinary practice of reappropriation and re-imagination of the past, Toninelli bu…
Triality
The intersection of mathematics and mysticism has long been one of experimental music's most fertile territories, from La Monte Young's just intonation systems to the algorithmic compositions of Iannis Xenakis. Now, with his sophomore album Triality, Milian Mori ventures into this rarefied space with a work of stunning conceptual ambition and emotional depth - a 16-track double LP that unfolds as a seamless 53-minute meditation on the "unspeakable third in the second." Released via raster - the …
Robotica

Mythology
Few albums like this one have made us jump out of our seats and giggle: "OH YES!". Graham Simpson, the author of the beautiful "Electrical Storm at the Micro-Station" published by HDK in 2024, returns with an epic, powerful, and terribly evocative concept. "Mythology" - as its author states - manifests his devotion to the history of soundtracks for fantasy cinema: from the colossal films of the 50s with the music of Miklos Rozsa, to the Italian Sword & Sandal films of the 60s, from the soundtrac…

Mörk Borg
2025 Vinyl Repress. ONE DAY ALL WILL BLACKEN AND BURN. Just as the two-headed basilisks predicted. Lies, Truth, Denial and Envy embodied. Their riddling yet oddly accurate prophecies were put in ink by Anuk Schleger the monk, in the scrolls that now hold many names - The Nameless Scriptures, The Unwritten, The Dirt Pages. And so far, every promise therein has been realized, hence why both kings and beggars now cry and wail. Everything will blacken and burn. The stormy, Endless Sea will boil and …

Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel III
*200 coipes limited edition* Among the many kind remarks and deeply personal stories that have been shared with zakè and 36 about their beloved series, Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel, perhaps the most succinct and poignant is one from a fan, regarding the first installment: “I was terrified of space travel, until I heard this album.” In those few words, the complex themes and contrasts that the artists explore through their comforting hymns of cosmic scale are summed up beautifully…
Fireside Spells
Klaus Morlock returns with Fireside Spells, an album blending eerie folk, vintage synth, and psychedelic soundscapes into a world of supernatural encounters, Cold War conspiracies, and time slipping away.

The spectral synth work of A Gat…
Invocation Of The Beast Gods
If "Cathedral" is one of Nigel Ayers' most celestially minded records, then "Invocation of the Beast Gods" is among his most ritualistic. We start at full throttle with suffocating tension before giving way to an uneasy release. "Tranquil" this is not, but Ayers' delicate touch allows him to explore the full breadth of the album title's implications — here you will find moments of whimsy, contemplation, and full-bore reckoning. No Holiday is pleased to offer "Invocation of the Beast Gods" alongs…
Cathedral
*2025 stock* Nocturnal Emissions' releases throughout the 1980s are eclectic, adventurous and intermittently raw. 1991's "Cathedral" is something else entirely — 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 A…
Allez-Teia (Heldon II)
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. Where the debut balanced Pinhas's most extreme impulses with moments of relative calm, Allez-Téia feels like an artist completely unleashing his vision without concern for consequence…
Forma
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 Ma…
Spool
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 tenderness—a soulful presence that linge…
Somewhere
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 zakè (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 fewer…
