Race Against Time
2002 release ** Cardboard sleeve. "Race Against Time is a very deep album, immersed in warm sounds.

It puts you in a trance and puts you in a trance. It's a truly unique atmosphere, melancholy, and a sense of taste. You can hear the classics (Rapoon, Brian Eno, Biosphere, Lustmord) here, in Poland. A true feast for fans of the genre. This journey …

Le Cube Dans Mon Rêve
From the soft, digital murmur of notation software and the absence of physical instruments, The FURICO Music Team (FMT) emerges not as a band, but as a motion. A pendulum. A thought experiment materialized in waveform.
Founded in Japan and composed of TM and TI, FMT is a conceptual unit for sonic construction and transformation. They describe their works as "Auditory Art," where sound is both medium and inquiry. Every note is born in a digital void, composed entirely through notation software a…
Transit
2015 release ** "Since 1999 electronic duo Klangwart occupy self-confidently their very own niche between Avantgarde and Pop. Markus Detmer and Timo Reuber, the two 'elder statesmen' of neo-Krautrock, are since regarded as the most authentic heirs to the psychedelic sound gurus of the '70s. Titled 'Transit' their new album after 'Sommer' (2010) is a real masterpiece: Nine tracks of otherworldly beauty – energetic, organic, unpredictable. Thousands of sound snippets are assembled to a kind of veg…

Commune
*2025 stock* “In endless patience, the days abide. They write themselves: blue flourish and tender instinct. They are haunts and reveries and all manner of dwelling. They are seconds; they are years. They are forevermore.” 'Commune' is the debut full-length album by Singapore born, producer, composer, electronic artist and pianist, Kin Leonn. Affectionately known by peers as the 'ambient boy from Singapore,' Kin Leonnʼs arresting dream-music in 'Commune' is sourced from a well of preconscious ph…
Taking The Veil
*2025 stock* 'Taking the Veil' marks the debut solo album from Berlin-based musician Hior Chronik, following his work as part of the duo Pill-Oh on 'Vanishing Mirror.' The essence of Hior Chronik’s sound remains intact on 'Taking the Veil,' with its bitterly romantic strings and delicate electronics whispering over mournful piano melodies. Hior Chronik has a penchant of producing subtly immense and cinematic compositions which are remarkably chilling in its beauty. Continuing along his distincti…
Destroy & Dream
*2025 stock* Electronic trio Evade have been honing their repertoire of sounds crafted within the urban pastoral landscapes of former Portugese colony, Macau. In their latest album 'Destroy & Dream,' Evade takes on the view of a distant observer, questioning life, the earth, the universe and the values of its living creatures, yet with the consolation of dreams, seclusion and shelter.

i hold a wish for you
*2025 stock* 'i hold a wish for you' is Aspidistrafly’s first full-length album. A delicate immersion into quiet, reflective spaces, it is inspired by the solitary beauty of Banana Yoshimoto’s novella 'Moonlight Shadow'. Just as Yoshimoto’s prose captures fleeting moments of grief and longing, Aspidistrafly’s album weaves an ethereal tapestry of sound and silence, embracing themes of transience, memory, and the gentle passage of time. Each of the nine tracks melds acoustic instrumentation, whisp…

Now marking the 10th year anniversary of the album, 'A Little Fable' is still being…
Consumed Within The Years Of Lead
2004 release ** Cardboard sleeve. "A co-release between the tiny Hollywood-based noise imprint Pacrec and David Reed's cottage label Snip-Snip, Consumed Within the Years of Lead benefited from relatively larger exposure in the noise underground than Luasa Raelon's numerous previous offerings. Luasa Raelon, David Reed's beast, delivers here a tempered set of industrial noise. The sound palette is much closer to the spirit of the industrial scene than to digicore or harsh noise. Reed's sound brick…
Musica Reservata Viva
2017 release ** Limited edition of 50/100 copies with hand-written cardboard sleeve. "The title Musica Reservata Viva refers to both Musica Elettronica Viva and the term Musica Reservata which was used to describe Roland Kayn’s work.
