Layers 1975-2004
It is a sincere honor and a privilege for Full Spectrum Records to announce the release of ‘Layers: 1975-2004,’ a retrospective collection of recordings from Texas abstract music legends Onions. An unsung and mostly hidden collective who paved the way for so much of Texas’ sprawling free and experimental music lineages, Onions is the ‘nom de guerre’ of a network of musicians and artists centered around its primary exponent, Dan Clark AKA Lienad Kralc and his musical partner Greg Cain aka Gerg Ni…
Float
Since 1983, on the labels Complacency, Die Stadt, Experimedia, Odd Size, Silent, Soleilmoon, Staalplaat, Tesco, Korm, Drone, no part of it, and Waystyx Daniel Burke and his conspirators under the Illusion Of Safety banner have traversed over the course of 40+ full length releases almost every facet of the avant sound plane, from early industrial pop deconstruction to blindingly minimal sound art to densely surreal found-sound collage, each unique approach bending and reconstituting the expectati…
Further Selections from the Electric Harpsichord
CD Edition. Rediscovered and compiled for release shortly before her death in November 2023, Further Selections from the Electric Harpsichord presents a never-before-heard recording of composer and artist Catherine Christer Hennix's early magnum opus. Originally debuted in 1976 at the festival Brouwer's Lattice at Stockholm's Moderna Museet, The Electric Harpsichord has steadily mystified fans and students of Western minimalist music for its implacable, transformative qualities, and the long-hel…
My Enemies Are Mine To Keep
Jim Strong is a US based artist and musician who in recent years has left a trail of enigmatic releases on labels such as Vitrine, More Mars and Chocolate Monk. He will also be familiar to some for his past work with Melkings, Eyes of the Amaryllis, and Weyesblood. Now HoP is pleased to announce Jim’s first solo vinyl outing. My Enemies Are Mine To Keep is Jim’s most clearly defined statement to date. Its sides illustrate his self-sufficient, world-building methods through a mixture of orchestra…
Seas of Triple Consciousness
Jordan Deal’s 2022 debut GOGO Underworld (Cor Ardens) hipped us to their multidisciplinary practice which shapeshifts across film, sculpture, sound & performance. Now we are proud to present the next chapter in Jordan’s recorded legacy. Seas of Triple Consciousness was recorded between monasteries & churches in rural France and Jordan’s home in Philadelphia. It takes cues from the gospel, blues and folk traditions as well as avant-garde composition techniques.
Essentially a song-suite centred ar…
Lee Ranaldo/Rob Menard
Lee Ranaldo and Rob Menard have been friends and collaborators for years and this split cassette release on Important Records' Cassauna label amplifies their unique musical personalities and sonic compatibility. Both artists contributed over 30 minutes of music making this a pair of mini-albums on one tape. Ranaldo plays Farfisa, electric guitar, tres, marimba, bass and bells, taking the listener on a lyrical, hazy, ride full of life, time and echoing riff shimmer. Massive vibes from author, art…

Inland Empire (Império Interior): A Compendium Of Experimental Music Made In Portugal Vol.3
*2024 stock* Inland Empire (Império Interior), or the last brushstroke in a triptych that gazed at the stars, sowed winds and, finally, sought the geographical limits of a country.
Going over the obvious lynchian reference, the last of Wasser Bassin‘s compendiums dedicated to experimental music produced in Portugal brings to light the electronic abstractions of Caranguejos; the irreverent drones of Ehxispê, creative alter-ego of Rodrigo Vieira; and from the banks of the Côa, instead of rock engr…
Seabed-Sunbath
Loris S. Sarid is an ambient composer and artist born in Rome but now resides in Glasgow. His previous release, "Music for Tomato Plants", was a quiet exploration of kalimba, glockenspiel and plucky synths. On his debut LP, "Seabed-Sunbath", Loris submerges into aquatic terrain with an expanded palette of virtual pianos, soft horns, kalimba, strings, synthesized voices, textural field recordings and a wide array of soothing electronic tones. On “Oats with Sarah” and “Lobster Island”, he also inc…
Structurally Sound
""Structurally Sound" is the fourth and final release by Baltimore/Australian band Smoke Bellow. Written over 2022 and 2023 at home in Baltimore, this record was born of the collaboration between founding members Christian Best and Meredith McHugh. "Structurally Sound" saw the duo partner with Baltimore percussionist Jen Kirby (Strange Times People Band) who had joined the band on many tours to promote 2021's "Open for Business" (Trouble in Mind).
"Structurally Sound" is the self-assured melding…
Meelkop - Hohmann
Tip! *111 copies limited edition in special packaging* "Last year, Martijn Hohmann bumped into Roel Meelkop (Thu20, Kappotte Muziek) at a concert, and as two like-minded musicians would do, let’s work together on music. Hohmann mailed drones and field recordings to Meelkop, who did his magic (as in processing and adding sounds of his doing). Upon completion, a second round of new sounds and new reworkings resulted in four pieces of music, each around 15 minutes, so a solid hour of music. I have …
Music for Metaal 2024
*Limited edition in tin can with attached razor blade* "For reasons not of general interest, I re-discovered Vivenza’s music last year or so when I got some of the old vinyl and a CD again, and I played these with much enjoyment. I don’t know why Jean-Marc Vivenza never released any new music beyond 1994, but I am sure he has his reasons (a study in esoteric and philosophic movements may be the answer). The exciting aspect of his music was his recordings of machines, which he didn’t link to the …
Emigré
De Fabriek Teams up with the great Ausland (Roberto Auser) for this wonderful journey. It's an album that travels the globe in search for a common language, only to find a Babylonian Confusion of Tongues

Mare's Tail
In 1969 both Anthony Moore and David Larcher were at the start of their respective careers and both were inspired by the ideas of the avant garde and the new technologies becoming available to them. David experimented with the various techniques being explored in the medium of film making and Anthony tested the limits of what could be done with tape recorders. It was an open and co-operative exploration. The results of their first collaboration was the film Mare’s Tail - an unusually long 2:30 h…

From the catacombs of sludge comes an unprecedented monstrosity that will have you dunking your face in sulphuric acid while vomiting your guts out.
A One And A Two
*200 copies limited edition* Roughly three years after the release of Balts, Schreel Van De Velde’s debut album on Blickwinkel, the guitar and drums improv-centered duo is happy to present their sophomore album A One And A Two. The Brussels-based musicians sound more decisive than ever: the loud became louder, the quiet became quieter, the weird became weirder and the nostalgic became more nostalgic. The fruit peeled off one of its own shells, getting closer to its heart.
The album came about as…
