If It Pleases The Court
2025 stock "Oh joy, oh rapture! Sweet, sharp noise music by the transcontinental trio, the sound of our men’s small wills writ large. Microscopic made big. I mean, to think it’s been nearly half a decade since we’ve heard from these guys! And is this the end of the road? It's different. While their preceding statement focused on strident bandmember solos, If It Pleases The Court sees Zwangsbeglucktertum finally enjoying each other once again, showcasing an energy that can only manifest through i…

2025 stock Women In Revolt! is an exhibition of work by over 100 women artists working in the UK during the 1970s and 80s. In a first of its kind showing, it explores how women used radical ideas and rebellious methods to change the face of British culture. With music, painting, sculpture, photography, film, and performance, they forged a path for women's liberation in the UK, against a backdrop of extreme social change.Drawing on the work and experiences of women outside the establishment and o…
Minimal Guitar
2025 stock On the first Monday after the summer holidays Arnold decided to not start the morning with a pile of emails about canceled, rescheduled or possible concerts but instead walk around Amsterdam. Following the Ring road A10, both from the inside and the outside, he walked without a map, tried to keep as close to the highway as possible but got lost several times. When home, he sat down and played what came to mind. The recordings of those sessions will be released in limited edition. Arno…
KANNON
B-STOCK, Tear On Spine Latest release by shakuhachi player Kenji Ikegami, who fuses ancient Japanese ethnic music and ambient/experimental music in a unique worldview. Includes two long pieces with cellist Yasutsugu Seto, who inherits the spirit of Terry Riley, and UtaE, a player of the traditional Ainu instrument mukkuri. Produced by Chee Shimizu.
KENJI IKEGAMI, who digs out madake bamboo from the mountains and plays the jinashi shakuhachi he made himself; the long tones of the shakuhachi layer…
Mannheim HBF
So the bad news is, in a fit of pique, I asked Chat GPT (nicely) to compose a one-sheet for the new Shit and Shine double album, ‘Mannheim HBF’. The even worse news (yes, even worse than resorting to such tactics) is that the resulting biography is halfway passable and on some levels, superior to the sort of thing being published by what’s left of our weekly coupon-shoppers. But for fuck’s sake my friends, Craig Clouse did not get to where he is today today by settling for halfway passable an…
Of How Hits
In attempting to write this dispatch on the second Voice Imitator album my instinct is to pitch them as somewhat of an antidote to the current ills of what could be described as the post-Noise Rock landscape. I’m trying not to tread too far down the path of negativity and slander, so let's just say that while on paper they share basic characteristics with popular groups in the pigfuck to frat rock pipeline, Voice Imitator possess a tact and vision scantly seen in Repetition Orientated Rock. On ‘…
Ashmadai
*2025 stock* "Two adepts of the sonic arts return with a morality play in four sides. Gone are the appeals to the winged serpent, the tree of life, or other past luminaries; these days they can be seen in consort with only one: Ashmadai. It is said that Ashmadai is not to be feared. When you say to it: 'In truth thou art Ashmadai,' it will give you a wonderful ring. It will teach you geometry, arithmetic, astronomy and mechanics. When questioned, it answers truthfully. Released on two twelve inc…
Dead-Loop
*2025 stock* Tim Barnes’ latest full-length: DE∆D-LOOP (AMI 038R/W), is his first solo release since 2002’s All Acoustics. DE∆D-LOOP offers another arm in Barnes’ wide-ranging body of music and work, as well as supplying an additional thread connecting the House, pop and sound art conversations the album engages. In many ways DE∆D-LOOP is House music that takes a sideways approach to the language of dance music. As both a concept and a practice, Barnes aims to turn House on its side, reconsideri…
Memory
This album is a special production for IZ's 2025 China Tour. The selected tracks include the live recordings from the "Koxpendi" tour in 2023 and from the BBC radio show in 2010. Over the years, as an important branch of Mamer's many music projects, IZ has been on a path of self-innovation and even self-denial. We hope you can feel this from these recordings spanning 13 years. As Mamer said, "We need to learn from tradition, and give back as much new content to it as possible, at the same time e…
You Think You Really Know Me
2024 repress! Gary Wilson's monumental 1977 LP reissued with the original cover art (care of Owen Maercks's well-loved copy), delicately laid out by Scott Allison. Which makes it, perhaps, the last copy you'll ever need. You Think You Really Know Me (also the title of Michael Wolk's 2005 documentary about Wilson) was Wilson's second LP, but the first he recorded as a vocalist, hewing to his own bizarre vision -- a syncretic collision of romance, new wave cocktail jazz, heartbreak, disco porn-sou…
Adorable Ruin
2025 stock ‘Adorable Ruin’ is the second release of Stokholm-based composer and electronician Siri Jennefelt under her Nev Lilit moniker, and her first one to be released on vinyl. Each composition of the release starts with a drone that seems to be of a similar design, but brings us into vastly differing worlds. Jennefelt’s blend of large, primal drums and meticulously crafted synthesis, that moves independent of each other, makes a fitting canvas for her extensive arsenal of haunting, dystopi…
No Sound Forever
From the depths of Gothenburg, The Family Men emerge. Since 2017, they have slowly carved out a sound entirely their own within the current music scene, standing out as one of the hardest groups in Sweden today. Making use of unconventional sampling, chainsaw-guitars and gritty industrial tones, they manage to blast their way into yet uncharted musical territory. Their debut album 'No Sound Forever' is an explosive, daring and vital record of a band ready to swallow you whole.
To Step Outside And Keep Walking
1994 release ** Packaged in oversize cardboard sleeve. A four-artist compilation of electronica experimentation, this album includes pieces by Randy Grief, Art Simon, Contact with a Curve and Jocelyn Robert.
Reflect
2006 release ** Oversized cardboard sleeve. "Square rhythms, flashes of punk-hardcore (almost deviated rock & roll at times, as in "Part 1"), modulated feedback, more than distorted voices (but never invasive), magmatic stasis, dissonances: this is the recipe of Two Dead Bodies, which will be appreciated both by fans of those who today go crazy for Liars and Wolf Eyes, or by those who nostalgically remember God or the schizoid metal of Naked City."
La Vostra Ansia Di Orizzonte
2017 release ** "Salvo Lazzara and Stefano Giannotti, two artists at opposite ends of the spectrum, but with strong musical and literary interests in common, meet between writing and improvisation, electronic landscapes and acoustic creations. A series of out-of-form and unreassuring stories is born, poetic and sound experiments, almost micro-radio-dramas, between ambient and free jazz, singer-songwriter and cultured avant-garde."
A New Astronomy
2006 release ** "A New Astronomy is the reissue of a CD-R limited to only 100 copies released in 2005 by Sub Pop and which serves as a pleasant appetizer while waiting for the new album scheduled for 2007. Dedicated to the do-it-yourself astronomer Giovanni Paneroni, who lived in the first half of the 20th century and theoretician of a new astronomy antithetical to the Copernican one (flatness of the earth, smallness of the sun, nothing but a sphere 2 meters in diameter and weighing 14 kg!), A N…
Psychotic Reactions & Lightnin' Rag
2004 release ** "Here an hybrid instrumentation entangling blues and electro-acoustic music re-plays for us the complete history of recorded music. There is no deferred time between the instrument being played and the reworking of the recording parameters. All movements are connected in real time, as close as possible to the body. Hands on the tapes, fingers on the strings, fresh blood is springing, free from conventions, as if to abolish the principle of separation our society is built on. It’s…
