*100 copies limited edition* Volume 10 in the 24x volume set of ceremonial county cassettes.
Transition
After four EPs of skeletal kraut-punk and slimmed down post-motorik alienage Milan’s Tv Dust are back with an entirely different beast, their proper debut ‘Transition’, an incredible collection of no-jazz, breakneck rhythms, mutant-wave, trance-funk, shredded sax jags and furious, yet mysterious assaults.
Tv Dust run a tight ship, they jam econo, with the album strongly based around the incredible interplay of drums (Sergio Tringali), bass (Filippo Aloisi) and sax/synth (newest member Gaetano Pa…
River Eye
*Edition of 150* "Piia Rinne, a Pori-based sound artist and textile designer, operates at the intersection of sonic experimentation and tactile craftsmanship, weaving a profound connection between these two mediums. Her debut vinyl, River Eye, released under Artsy Records, presents an evocative foray into experimental music, one that defies traditional genre classifications. Artsy, known for its dedication to "the trve experimental music heads," provides a fitting platform for Rinne's boundary-p…
Plant Music Vol.3 - The Golden Teachers
Experience the high strangeness of plant music—plants that “sing.” For years musician Nico Georis has used biofeedback instruments to connect a variety of flora to analog synthesizers, letting their biodata create music that is strange and existentially gorgeous. Nico’s work in plant music happened during a six year span, and was set in motion by a simple desire to find a fresh supply of long-form ambient music for relaxing to at home. After a chance encounter with an obscure technology dating b…
Hold That Tiger
Sonic Youth on Superior Viaduct!!! In October 1987, four months after the release of their critically acclaimed Sister LP, Sonic Youth showcased their latest work in a blistering set at Cabaret Metro, Chicago. The concert was introduced by Big Black's Steve Albini (who at the time was banned from the venue) and subsequently released as a semi-official bootleg under the title Hold That Tiger on writer/provocateur Byron Coley's impishly Geffen-baiting label Goofin' (years later the band would use …
Engelchen
Engelchen literally translates as ‘little angels,' and for many in the febrile, dangerous era of the 1930s in Nazi-occupied Europe, as they wrote letters to arrange their paths out of danger as refugees, these were Ida and Louise Cook. Ida and Louise spent much of their early years in Sunderland, and in adulthood lived in a suburb of London with their parents. They were enormous fans of opera, and led relatively quiet and unfussy lives, Ida working for the civil service as a secretary and Louise…
I Shall Die Here / Earth Triumphant
Black Vinyl. On I Shall Die Here, The Body sonically serrates the remains of metal's already unidentifiable corpse and splays it amid tormented voices in shadow. Sharing their heathen vision with The Haxan Cloak, The Body's tried, true, and absorbingly tragic sound is mutilated by process and re-animated in a spectral state. This double LP set is expanded with the previously unreleased Earth Triumphant, a full-length companion album that would become I Shall Die Here, showcasing The Body’s bruta…
Mister Sweet Whisper
Big Tip! “You’re living in a dream, Coley…” Surreal, layered, Lynchian landscapes by Birmingham, Alabama poet, Johnny Coley. On his Mississippi Records debut, Coley takes a completely improvised and semi-hallucinatory journey down decrepit southern trucking routes, gaslit Victorian alleys, past “a small frame house / transparent with fire,” and by women arguing on the cobblestones outside a dark club in Rome (“you could only see their lips”). It’s a world of flesh vehicles, supernatural waiters,…
Live In Utrecht
2024 Stock. Edition of 200. The set was recorded on Sunday, May 28 2017 at the Snorfabriek in Utrecht by Andreas Geursen who spoke welcome and farewell. It took place as a Radio Resistencia Session, initiated by Martijn Van Gessel (Enfant Terrible / Vrystaete). "First record to hatch from the serpent’s egg of Würzburg’s Quirlschlängle and it will probably remain the only physical testament to the existence of now sadly defunct (?) NRW-duo Balint Brösel. This one has been captured live by the goo…
In Concerto 1983
*300 copies limited edition* This is the first ever stand-alone vinyl release of the Bel Canto Orquestra's legendary concert in Montpellier in 1983. Founded by Pascal Comelade, Pierre Bastien, Cathy Claret and Laurent Churet, the Bel Canto Orquestra was constituted of toy instruments only.

Includes bonus track "Résumé Du Concert Du Bel Canto Orquestra Du 7 Mai 1992" which is a never …
Diamond Jubilee
Double CD, digipack. Superior Viaduct and new artist label, W.25TH, continue to be the home for Cindy Lee with the physical release of the celebrated album Diamond Jubilee. Universally praised, shortlisted for the 2024 Polaris Music Prize, and already hailed by Pitchfork as the third best album of the 2020s, anticipation and conversation around the record has been high. Cindy Lee is the performance and songwriting vehicle of Patrick Flegel (who previously fronted influential indie group Women). …
Slow Dazzle
Following on quickly from Fear, and capitalizing on that album's energy Slow Dazzle is another fiery release by Velvet Underground founder John Cale.
This reissue faithfully replicates the original 1975 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180 gram vinyl. Released in March 1975, initially, the album offers a false sense of mellow security: "Mr Wilson", a tribute to Brian, the leader of Cale's beloved Beach Boys starts the album on a much sweeter note than "Fear Is A Man's B…
Helen Of Troy
Recorded quickly between John Cale producing Patti Smith's Horses and his going out on an Italian tour, Helen Of Troy became Cale's third and final studio album for Island Records.
This reissue faithfully replicates the original 1975 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180 gram vinyl. Helen Of Troy is a raw, fascinating listen. The title track with its horns and spoken word is one of Cale's best: after the sweet bubblegum of "China Sea", the album gets increasingly strippe…
Fear
This reissue faithfully replicates the original 1974 Island Records UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180 gram vinyl. Fear marked Cale's return to recording in London after the best part of a decade in America. Signing to Island Records, he made fast friends with two key admirers, Phil Manzanera and Brian Eno, who assisted him in returning his music to the rawer sound of his earlier work, as opposed to the lush textures of his previous studio album, Paris 1919. The tense, clipped "Fear…

Dunstkreis
*100 copies limited edition* Label head Kobermann returns with a cast of local associates, mostly all new names to us, clustering a varied batch of styles / sounds that skirt round the very edge of the dance floor and bleeds out into the aether. The title ‘Dunstkreis’ or ‘Haze Circle’ for the non-Deutsch speakers, captures it beautifully, with Voyage Futur’s mellow Rhodes chord opener and the cosmic smog of Blacklight Chameleon fogging out the room. Sparring partners and regular ANF favourites…
Die Erde und Ich Sind Eins - I Am One With the Earth
In a once in a lifetime occurrence, we’re thrilled to announce that we’ve been able to get our hands on a very limited number of original archive copies of “Die Erde und Ich Sind Eins - I Am One With the Earth”, the debut solo LP by legendary Popol Vuh founder Florian Fricke. An astounding gesture of large ensemble vocal Minimalism, privately issued as the lone release on Fricke’s own Lorck Publication München imprint in 1983, this marvel of deeply emotive and transcendent immersion into rich te…
Unaccompanied Acoustic Guitar Vol. 2
Here is the second volume of protean solo improvisations recorded by Loren Connors in his artist's garret in New Haven, Connecticut. Like the first volume, it was committed to tape and pressed to vinyl in 1979. Never having seen a copy of this record, and having pressed it before we discovered a master cassette exists, this is as good a transfer as can be had for the nonce. Loren's chair creaks like rusty crow and the amount of random tapping and thumping during the original session just about d…
Cargo Cult
Tip! Tina Records presents Cargo Cult, six tracks from the Musci archives created using an extensive collection of traditional instruments combined with synthesisers and electronics, with remixes provided by Cut Hands and Nokuit.
Italian ethnomusicologist Roberto Musci, active since the mid 80s, has experienced a resurgence in interest since the 2016 Music From Memory compilation 'Tower of Silence', receiving endorsements from disparate influential figures. His music featured in a playlist Ryuic…
