Huge Tip! *15 CD-R Box Set + 100-page Artist’s Book. Edition of 199 copies* “Spiritual Noise___Rinascimento” (renaissance) took an entire year of self-isolation in My Cat is An Alien's secret HQ called Alien Zone up in the Western Alps to be conceived and created -- between 2021 and 2022, in the midst of a reality still plagued by pandemic, we spent our lives discovering new existential meanings projected into the deepest core of still-unknown space-time dimensions -- flowing through the spiral…

Strange Blooms + HOWL!
Here together for the first time, are two releases united by parallel processes. Both Strange Blooms and Howl! were originally composed for contemporary dance projects - Strange Blooms in collaboration with choreographer Shobana Jeyasingh, and Howl!, written initially as a score for American choreographer, Maurice Causey, and premiered by the Luzerner Ballet. Both works, too, use keyboards, separated by three centuries: A natural recording of a 17th century baroque harpsichord (performed by Jane…
Extra Weapons
The Lo Yo Yo was founded in 1984 by Family Fodder’s John Pearce, aka Alig Fodder. They were active for two years and released one cassette, one split cassette with French band Look De Bouk and one full-length LP. The Lo Yo Yo’s line-up went through changes over its whole lifetime, but with some constants – most notably singer Joey Stack and drummer Carrie Brooks. Charles Bullen of This Heat occasionally played drums with Family Fodder and produced The Lo Yo Yo’s LP Extra Weapons in 1985. Alig sa…
Echo Neuklang (Neo-Kraut-Sounds 1981 – 2023)
Christoph Dallach, Andreas Dorau and Daniel Jahn present Echo Neuklang, a compilation which explores the question of how Krautrock has influenced generation after generation of musicians since its inception. A contentious genre at the best of times, the music within its spectrum is essentially intangible. The common thread running through it is a compulsion to seek out the new. Beginning in the year 1981 and extending as far as 2023, the music in this collection demonstrates how the idea of what…
To Live
American indie label File 13 Records released what was already Martin Rev's sixth solo album in the autumn of 2003. The previous year, Rev and his musical partner Alan Vega had struck out in a new direction on their "American Supreme" album and Rev's solo works continued in a similar vein. If "Strangeworld" from the year 2000 actually felt more like a timeless abstract of Martin Rev's entire spectrum of musical influences, "To Live", three years later, introduces more contemporary elements, incl…
Eins Und Zwei Und Drei Und Vier 2 - Deutsche Experimentelle Pop-Musik 1978-87
For their second foray into the fringes of German pop, Bureau B delve deeper than before, raiding cassette culture, 7" obscurities and overlooked album cuts to further frame this free-thinking strain of sonic expression. Starting the count from punk’s year zero, this set sees a newly liberated generation get weird and wild with anything they could lay their hands on, delivering demented, detuned and disorienting tracks brimming with DIY spirit.
Sprung Aus Den Wolken
The Berlin project Sprung Aus Den Wolken was part of the "Geniale Dilletanten" movement in the early 1980s, along with Einstürzende Neubauten and Mechanik Destrüktiw Komandöh. The band first released an EP on ZickZack in 1981, followed by further releases on the band's own record label Faux Pas in 1982 and 1983, then on the French outlet Les Disques Du Soleil Et De L'Acier until 1991. The track Pas Attendre was part of the soundtrack of Wim Wender’s movie Der Himmel über Berlin and thus becam…

Code-Talker II
*First pressing of 200 copies* "Code-Talker II is the latest installment of my ongoing pipe organ project. In this current iteration I am joined by bassist Henry Fraser. The name of this project derives from the Code-talker paradox, which is an issue in linguistics that calls into question fundamental ideas about the nature of language. The term was coined in 2001 by linguist Mark Baker to describe the Navajo code talkers of WWII. This album documents the paradox: how language (musical or otherw…

Empires
*Limited edition of 200 copies.* A research on possible timbral encounters between percussion and electric guitar, aimed to make them indistinguishable. A sound force that generates dimensions and worlds, where the dramaturgical narration does not necessarily have to be present, since the sound itself already tells and describes. The form take second placet in favor of the timbre, that outlines unknown languages, fantastic machines, microorganisms, alien vegetation with new and curious colors an…
Contraluz
*150 copies triple compact disc limited edition* Contraluz is a journey in three parts - a voyage through the Balkans, the Mediterranean, and a few places that may have been on the map once before but certainly aren’t on any reputable ones now. A major new work from Émile Zener, recorded in his Barcelona studio in early 2023, Contraluz spends three engrossing hours submerged in the acrid soil, salty water, speculative financial markets, and submarine consciousness of Earth as it finds itself in …
Queen Of Siam
Editions of 500. Queen of Siam, Lydia Lunch's solo debut, was originally recorded in 1980. Featuring the noted talents of guitarist Robert Quine (Lou Reed, the Voidoids), multi-instrumentalist Pat Irwin (B-52's, Eight Eyed Spy), and the big band sound orchestra of Billy VerPlack (of Flintstones theme fame), the work proved to be a slap in the face to those critics awaiting a new Teenage Jesus-type of album from Lunch. Dirty, sophisticated, literary and raw, the album is today seen as the jewel i…
Live 1977-1979
Teenage Jesus and the Jerks began to formulate their visionary brand of aural catharsis sometime during the first half of 1977, amidst the sordid ruins of a then fully down-and-out Lower Manhattan. The mastermind behind this juggernaut of sonic libertinage was a barely pubescent but world-weary runaway who called herself Lydia Lunch. Influenced strongly by the Marquis de Sade and Henry Miller, Lunch shrewdly decided to graft the existential horror of her own writing onto harsh, atonal music afte…
Teenage Jesus And The Jerks
Editions of 500. During the late 1970s, after No Wave pioneer Lydia Lunch met saxophonist James Chance, she began setting her angry and disjointed poetry to anti-music, founding her ground-breaking band Teenage Jesus and The Jerks with Lunch’s shouted lyrics matched by her non-conventional use of electric guitar. The group’s self-titled debut EP is a fast and furious affair, produced by Robert Quine of the Voidoids/Lou Reed, with future Nick Cave drummer Jim Sclavunos on bass and Bradley Field o…
