Alien Blood
Alien Blood is the result of the band’s meticulous process of revisiting the original 2” tapes of The Pop Group studio sessions and recordings, unearthing never-before-heard material, including the studio recording of Kiss the Book, gloves off version of We Are Time (Ricochet), and Words Disobey Me (Dennis The Menace Mix) whilst exposing the raw skeletons of iconic tracks such as the original velocity of Thief of Fire (Bass Addict). Alien Blood reveals the life of Y before everything was finali…
Y Live!
The "Y Live!" album is an essential addendum to the original release, one that captures all the fierce urgency of The Pop Group's live performances at the time.

Slowdive’s Simon Scott debuts his new Index project with a visceral new sound that absorbs and transmutes political, ecological and psychic dread into a caustic, dissonant style of drone and textural sculpture for iDEAL Recordings, a worthy follow-up to last year’s The Sacrificial Code album release on the label by Kali Malone.
Televize
"The joyful, tender, almost too tender, but at times extremely intense album entitled Televize was made by the inflamed, wholly focused, at times completely scattered, dissipated and organically chaotic ensemble called the Roman Radkovič Collective. It throws at the listener a threshold music and a poetic experience of the world. If one record can mediate otherness, a music which can never be imagined without first-hand experience, it is the LP with the magical title Televize.It sounds like a ga…
God Bless the Death Drive
Literally taking off where the acclaimed Precious Waste in Our Wake LP finished off, London based outfit Triple Negative return with another exemplary amplified jigsaw puzzle. The playback of this reality is garnished with humour, bedlam, beauty and a robust fear of the predictable. As payback for your acknowledgment our international line-up deliver a disparate mix of genres and histographies rendered into a devious dish of rhythm, song, balladry and nerve.This is Not This Heat. A.Kostis/Kosta…
Distance Between Us
Double CD reissue of this legendary dark psych minimal masterpiece! "The music on this bizarre double album from 1972 is somewhere between gothic horror and psychedelic. Don Bradshaw Leather was apparently some kind of British occult group who self-released this album with no credits. (Also, on the record cover the name is spelled “Bradsham-Leather,” not Bradshaw Leather, as it is referred to in everything from the Nurse With Wound list to the book and web guide on early U.K. psychedelic rock -T…
Laced With Rumour: Loud-Speaker of Truth
Weaving an intricately detailed tapestry of meditative, spiritual jazz and dream electronics, Maxwell Sterling’s astonishing second album "Laced With Rumour: Loud-Speaker of Truth" blooms in the cracks between Alice Coltrane, Talk Talk and Kara-Lis Coverdale, gently coaxing us into a trance-like reverie where the real and artificial morph into one pulsating organism.
The Current Inside
*Edition of 300.* The Current Inside, Marja Ahti's sophomore album for Hallow Ground, plays with the theme of currents - connecting and animating movements in the form of air, water and electricity. It approaches sound as a poetic medium, focusing both on the experience of sound as form and energy and on a loosely narrative arc, suggesting a riddle on the relations between the sounds. It implements alternative as well as intuitive tunings, analog and digital synthesis, recordings of sonorous spa…
Ffroggssichorddd
**200 copies** A famous English conductor said that the harpsichord sounded like "two skeletons copulating on a tin roof". An instrument that was once the basis of every orchestra and chamber ensemble was long ago replaced by the stronger and, for some, sweeter sounding piano. Now the harpsichord is very much the preserve of specialists and early-music supporters and has seen very little progress in design. Enter architect and musical philosopher John Körmeling. In addition to designing utopian …
Twenty Jazz Funk Greats
In 20 Jazz Funk Greats Drew Daniel (of the experimental band Matmos) creates-through both his own insights and exclusive interviews with the band-an exploded view of the album's multiple agendas: a series of close readings of each song, shot through with a sequence of thematic entries on key concepts, strategies, and contexts (noise, leisure, process, the abject, information, and repetition). This is a smart and unusual book about a pioneering band.“Daniel brings erudition and clarity to the 33 …
Another Green World
The serene, delicate songs on Another Green World sound practically meditative, but the album itself was an experiment fueled by adrenaline, panic, and pure faith. It was the first Brian Eno album to be composed almost completely in the confines of a recording studio, over a scant few months in the summer of 1975. The album was a proof of concept for Eno's budding ideas of "the studio as musical instrument," and a signpost for a bold new way of thinking about music.In this book, Geeta Dayal unra…
Elemental Dreaming
**200 copies** Primitive Motion is the dream-float machine driven by Brisbane residents Sandra Selig and Leighton Craig. Elemental Dreaming consists of two songs, the mesmerizing A-side Telegrams For Comets recorded in 2012 (with guest beats by Glenn Donaldson from The Skygreen Leopards etc) and the slower Night Colour Song recorded in 2016.
Glitchblade / Sand Between Us
**200 copies** Hazy 2019 recordings from the long running Copenhagen free-rock duo Family Underground. On Glitchblade and Sand Between Us Sara C. Czerny and Nicolas F. Kauffmann goes into a full droning and swampy garage mode that sort of recalls a sunlit yet gloomy Denudes on half-speed. Following up a trio of great releases on Into The Lunar Night, Ba Da Bing! and Joy De Vivre.
Atuan
**200 copies** Deemed to happen IDDB EP from the long running Dunedin, NZ act The Futurians. Full throttle avantgarde punk/sci-fi synth chaos, the two-suite Atuan follows up the massive, monotonous blown-out blasts of the recent Programmed LP (Planam, 2018) and their short cut on the Porcelain Summer compilation 7". Much has been said about The Futurians, some of our favorite quotes are "the sound of gay robots disco dancing and crushing everything underfoot", "the remnants of space debris raini…
Först River Man Allt
**300 copies** Kizza Ping formed in Linköping 1980 from the ashes of local punk bands such as Spy, RAS, ÅOBF and Zpamhead. Much in line with the current strains of Ny Våg/postpunk happenings around the country in the early '80s, the six members of Kizza Ping went for more a pop-oriented sound though still being somewhat firmly rooted in their DIY punk past. Influences came from acts like New Order and Reeperbahn, but the band added their own touch to the sound, especially thanks to the harmonizi…
