Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil
Coil’s year 2000 electric storm is their next legendary chapter for legit reissue, exemplifying the fathomless variegation of their vision with overproof levels of digital noise masking deeply trippy song structures. After tenderising flesh with the reissue of the ‘Musick To Play In The Dark’ volumes, Dais unleash Coil’s tempestuous sore thumb ‘Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil’ for a sharp right swerve into the depths of their profound catalogue. Issued the same year as ‘MTPITD’, as well as ‘…
Time Machines
2025 Much-needed repress. Starting as a rough demo tape recorded solely by Coil member Drew McDowall, Time Machines started to take full form when McDowall enthusiastically delivered these demo recordings to John Balance and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson as sketches for a new Coil project with the primary goal of shifting Coil’s sound further into a more conceptually abstract direction. Largely recorded in 1997 using single takes, with minimal post production, these four drones contain every int…
Le telescope de la mort
Composed of 7 tracks, which oscillate between post-medieval melodies, ghost-
wave and future music of the 70s... Their universe resembles a soaring
soundtrack, the kind of German TV movie that ends well but from which you can
never really escape.
Albus
EXTNDDNTWRK is the enduring solo project of Andrew Fearn, who is more commonly recognised as one half of Sleaford Mods. While akin to his role in his main group with respect to primarily working with electronic sounds, samples and rhythms, EXTNDDNTWRK is a far more mannered affair whose approach is concerned with atmospherics, occasional tempered beats perfect for a late night drive along a deserted motorway, near-ambient swerves into neo-minimalism, crisp melodies and big grooves swollen with t…
Epsilon In Malaysian Pale
2025 stock Epsilon in Malaysian Pale... which could be described as part of the "Phaedra Rubycon Epsilon" trilogy, shows Edgar Froese's impressions after the Australian Tangerine Dream concert tour, in relation to the flora and fauna there. Froese creates here a lush sonic atmosphere, the music matches the cover artwork perfectly. The music is harmonic and melodic. A sun-drenched musical landscape that is in no way inferior to the most famous Tangerine Dream albums.
It was not without reason tha…
Der Kleine Fritz In Klopstockland
2025 stock German conceptualist Ditterich von Euler-Donnersperg—alias the polymath Uli Rehberg—returns with "Der Kleine Fritz In Klopstockland," a release as enigmatic as its creator and as cryptic as the label that hosts it, the fabled Walter Ulbricht Schallfolien. As with much of Rehberg’s output, the boundaries between sound art, musique concrète, and dadaist narrative dissolve into a singularly strange proto-surrealist zone.
"Der Kleine Fritz In Klopstockland" oscillates between spoken …
Faust. Eros. Tod.
2025 Stock. In the shadowy interstices of avant-garde performance and sonic extremity, Faust. Eros. Tod. stands as one of Diamanda Galás’s most elusive and mythic recordings. Circulating as a rare bootleg, this live album—captured in the early 1980s and released unofficially in 1988—offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into Galás’s early explorations of the voice as a weapon, an invocation, and a lament.
Faust. Eros. Tod. is not a conventional album, but a document of ritualistic performance. Galás’…
Der Fluss In Der Truhe
2025 Stock. There’s a certain feral, mischievous wit that has long defined the output of Walter Ulbricht Schallfolien, and "Der Fluss In Der Truhe," the collaborative release from Ditterich von Euler-Donnersperg and Column One, is no exception. Far removed from the polite boundaries of genre, the record unfolds as a cryptic exchange between two of Germany’s most enigmatic sound art congregations.
On Side A, Ditterich von Euler-Donnersperg (aka Uli Rehberg) weaves together fractured field re…
Born Cursed / Symphonic Noise (Prelude)
*30 copies limited edition* Born Cursed was originally conceived as part of the album “Under The Mother Hands, With Pain At My Side / Symphonic Noise”, but then it was excluded to be the prelude to something that could become a continuation.Born Cursed / Symphonic Noise (Prelude)Born cursed, on the line of light, one step before the darkness. The darkness that obscures the light. Crawling into the light while the darkness is beyond the light.Born cursed, born from pain and pain above all. The cu…
horizonte
*300 copies limited edition* Funcionário delights in the freedom of creating freeform music for the first time in his career. On “horizonte”, he loosens the reins, his sound follows a wavy, organic structure rather than a rigid, formal one. If it feels freer and more colourful, that’s because it truly is. Eight years ago, when we first encountered his work, he was composing soundtracks for imaginary video games and crafting sonic landscapes that felt like destinations for sci-fi anime characters…
Issue 127 (Magazine + 7", Yellow)
Sci-fi electronica legend Jeff Mills graces our latest Electronic Sound cover, joined by a limited yellow vinyl seven-inch. Our in-depth interview explores his visionary career, from Detroit’s Underground Resistance to cosmic operas, Marvel comics, and astrophysics. Also featuring M, Claudia Brücken, Rival Consoles, and more.
Sound Mind Sound Body
Sound Mind Sound Body was inspired in part by the working principles of Fripp & Eno, extrapolated by Rafael Toral via a unique signal path leading out of his guitar. He paid notice to the massive impact of discreet gestures, creating slow-moving tones and spacious orchestral resonances, drifting and droning with glacial majesty, hardly recognizable as guitar much of the time. The first pieces were recorded in 1987; in 1994, a collection was released on Portugal's AnAnAnA, producing an hour’s wor…
Wave Field
Digital album is the 2025 Edition, available on CD. Wave Field, released in 1995, was a departure from the first album into new composition methods involving the dirty textures of rock guitar, sounding in the open ears of many listeners (like Jim O'Rourke, who issued the disc in the US on dexter's cigar) as a synthesis of disparate elements — a nexus where Alvin Lucier, Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine and Eno blend together. Here, the clangorous potential of the guitar was emphasized, giving a …
Beast
*70 copies limited edition* Beast, the 4th installment in the series of Ameel Brecht's sleep-inspired compositions is out on June 20, available on limited edition cassette and digital. As the earlier parts of this series focused primarily on in between phases and manifestations of sleep, this penultimate volume shifts its attention to the absence of sleep. Without sleep, never resting, never dreaming, what would we experience? A monochrome fever-quality fog, a void of unrealities.
Early Water
This album features a session in 1976 between Manuel Goetting (died 2022), who had a huge influence on the subsequent ambient music scene, and Michael Hönig, formerly of Agitation Free. The duo's 48-minute euphoric yet radical sonic universe of electronics and Manuel's guitar is the missing link between Gettings' two masterpieces, “New Age of Earth” and “E2-E4”. The latest remastering by Michael Hennig himself! The Japanese edition is released in paper jacket and SHM-CD!
Mega Mercy
*300 copies limited edition* Manchester’s sferic label return with a debut from ungoogleable Greco-Canadian anomaly Anastasia Patellis, aka Any, featuring additional instrumentation and co-production from Klein/Lolina cohort LA Timpa. It's a set of "squat pop" experiments that thread nocturnal soundscaping and pop hooks through hallucinated outlines written on harp and broken synth.
Greco-Canadian artist Any was bedding down in a Cretan squat when the album's title, μέγα ελεός in Greek, boomed …
A New Life
A New Life is not an album. It does not belong to a ‘genre.’ Not aesthetic, not ironic, not for consumption. Not intellectual—it is felt. It speaks from coherence—structure beneath the noise. Grief, anger, stillness are not flaws here—they belong. Featuring harp and saxophone by Róisín and Cathal Berkeley. A return to truth. To be human without the mask. Integrated, not performed or bypassed. "May we all live freely, knowing that all is well— ever was, ever will be. Not by ignoring what’s here, …
Stanza IV
Benoit Pioulard’s Stanza series, begun in 2015, explores meditative, lo-fi guitar loops as sonic journals. Stanza IV, the first on vinyl, deepens this ambient journey, accompanied by diverse reworks and a unique, limited-edition package.
Earth Mother Spectral Pilot
Bristolian artist, illustrator and toymaker Ed Cheverton debuted as Earth Mother Spectral Pilot with a cosmology-inspired melodic ambient album on SWIMS. We are now treated to a long overdue re-release. Known for his features in publications like It's Nice That, Juxtapoz, and The Guardian, Cheverton widens his creative scope to music via a project that borrows its title from a series of comics of his. Influenced by ambient and atmospheric soundtracks, one can hear the connection to Kawai Kenji, …
