Sounds For An Awesome Suspension
2008 release ** "Iron Molar, roots in the glorious HC of the 90s and present immersed in a noise that the CD artwork denounces as blatantly bastardnoisian. Luckily appearances can be deceiving and, I don't know if intentionally or not, their path takes roads far enough from the noisy rallies and rarefied panoramas of the Bastard Noise project, to face a middle way that is certainly not innovative but at least detached from too easy comparisons. In the tracks of Sounds For An Awesome Suspension …

Vox Humana (Inventing Forgotten Languages)
2015 release ** Featuring: Zuriñe F Gerenabarrena, Alberto Prezzati, Alice Calm, Yuka Nagamatsu, Martina Claussen, Livia Giovaninetti, Sergey Suhovik, Yang Siyu."To use the terminology of the neuroscientist Steven Brown, who has made a particular study of music, both music and language involve a limited repertoire of discrete building blocks, organised into phrases and higher-order structures using combinatorial rules. Put simply, both organise individual acoustic elements using a kind of gramma…

inside-out, outside-in
2013 release ** "This is the first solo album of Madoka Kouno, an improviser who has been performing since the early 2000s, mainly in Tokyo. The two tracks were recorded live at Ftarri, Tokyo, in November 2012. In this performance she used tape recorders, a mixer, speakers, and digital tuners. The manipulation of empty tape recorders and careful changes in their positions cause subtle tremors and variations; and the rich, complex sound vibration radiates throughout the space."
The Sunset Limited
2010 release ** "A dark space blues built from electric guitars, The Sunset Limited presents the next phase of RST's exploration of the limitless kinetic possibilities of that hallowed rock and roll instrument. Colossal rumbles and riffs arc across an expanse of darkness, lighting shadows of phantom cities, burnout survivors, fires burning in endless night. Here RST pushes its own aesthetic out beyond the void, building on the slow momentum of fifteen years staring into space, stone in hand, amp…
Sentinelle Del Mattino
2007 release ** Limited edition of 1000 hand-numbered copies in oversized cardboard sleeve. "Jarring but gorgeous, electronic but acoustic, Italian musician Gregorio Bardini offers up an unusual blend of folkish samples and instrumentation set to cascading IDM percussion and makes for a mysterious journey. Though some of the cultural references were lost on this listener, it feels heavy with purpose. “Ezra Pound in Mantua” sets the tone for the record with dirgy flutes and plucked strings, frami…
Playout
2007 release ** Limited edition of 250 hand-numbered copies. "The Infant Cycle is a project of the Canadian artist Jim DeJong working under this name since 1992. It may seem surprising, but all these 15 years he remained in the underground of experimental music, and his name is well-known only to inveterate enthusiasts and explorers of this strange phenomenon. The project has put out 6 full-length albums on cassettes and CD-Rs, several singles and an amazing series of minions called "Clear Shape…
The Echoes Of Thiiings / Fadiiing Echoes
2005 release ** Limited edition of 100 copies. Oversized cardboard sleeve. "The Echoes Of Thiiings is a work that is made up of compositions that span a very long period of time that reaches up to 2001, but the album is as homogeneous as ever. Suspended in mid-air on a faint borderline between the Autechrian glaciers of Amber and the Central European minimalism of Kompakt (Kaito, Ferenc, Closer Musik, etc.), the compositions of Sparkle In Grey float in a diaphanous, light melodism that moves ser…
Venite Visum
2025 stock Running Back welcomes Andreas Grosser for the start of it's non-dancefloor series "Running Back Incantations". Think Tornado Wallace's "Lonely Planet" or Suzanne Kraft's "Missum" who both would have been good and early contenders for a series like that, and you are half way there. Andres Grosser though, was "there" and that way before. Probably best-known for his 1987 collaboration "Babel" with Klaus Schulze, Grosser is a bit of a dark horse in the universe whose big bang was krautro…
Udarnik
2011 release ** "French soprano saxophonist Michel Doneda and Swiss accordionist Jonas Kocher are joined by Slovenians Tomaz Grom (double bass) and Tao G Vrhovec Sambolec (laptop) in four tight, tense improvisations recorded at the (DA)(NE)S Festival in Maribor. Kocher's squeezebox and Doneda's squeaks work together with near telepathic precision, while Grom's growls and Sambolec's grainy drizzle add depth and drama. Filling up what would otherwise be a rather short album, Giuseppe Ielasi's remi…
Un'Estate Senza Pioggia

The concrete-natural noisy sequences taken from the "cinema" of everyday life is manipulated by the imagination to create a sort of visio…
Tryptykh
2002 release ** "The Belgian group Hybryds is one of the most unusual phenomena on the underground music scene. They have been around since the late 80s and combine the powerful primordial energy of prehistoric times with the post-industrial aesthetics of modern times.
