Arc
In Arc, Yorkshire-born artist Kirk Barley explores alternative tunings and off-grid sequencing to shape fluid rhythmic and melodic systems that unfold into rich harmonic forms. Kirk’s fourth album under his own name and debut for Marionette continues his exploration of just intonation through a sparse but finely detailed palette of organic atmospheres, metallic shimmer and off-kilter rhythms. Across the record, glassy pads, gamelan metallophones, clarinet and guitar dissolve into fluid, dreamlik…
Finis Terrae
French composer Sylvain Bombled aka Mayerling is back on HITD with ‘Finis Terrae’, marking the project's first album in 8 years. In the winter of 2025, the musician came up with these five pieces while in solitary retreat on the northern coast of Ouessant, the westernmost island of metropolitan France. The rough weather, the awe-inspiring beauty of the surroundings and the majestic grandeur of the natural elements play a pivotal role in each composition, allowing Mayerling to delve into his inne…
Man Ah Warrior
Reissue for the epic Tapper Zukie's first album, originally released in 1973. Supervised by the original producer Clement Bushay! Zukie never expected these cuts to turn into an album, and was quite startled to discover this record in the London shops when he came to town in the spring of 1975. After 50 years “Man Ah Warrior” is still a lively and unique collection. The bassline and trademark guitar sound from The Temptations’ “Papa Was a Rolling Stone” is instantly recognizable in the title tra…
Earth Running
Earth Running, originally released in 1979 on the Tappa's Stars label, can be considered the Jamaican's toaster's maturity album. Lyrics here are rooted in the "ghetto life" as always. A work with an international flavour: On Side B, two convincing dance tracks, the anthemic funkfest "Freak" and "One More Chance", often championed by DJs in the following years. A work that explored new territories, a mandatory re-issue for all authentic reggae lovers.
Live at the Oakland Coliseum
Pink Floyd Live at the Oakland Coliseum, is a landmark triple-album release featuring a recording of Pink Floyd’s May 9, 1977 show at the Oakland Coliseum during their “In the Flesh” tour, staged to promote the album Animals. Delivering the full force of the band at their creative peak, the release captures a night of bold energy and unforgettable live atmosphere.
Roger Waters, David Gilmour, Richard Wright, and Nick Mason are joined by Snowy White (electric guitar, 12-string guitar, bass, and b…
The End of the Continuum
*300 copies limited edition* Anybody paying attention to what’s been happening at Lumberton Trading Company during recent months should have noticed that Modelbau had a collaborative CD with Bass Communion released in late March. Meshing abstract electronics with ambient textures, field recordings and a more electroacoustic setting, 'Analysis Reveals Nothing of Substance' brought together the minds of Frans de Waard and Steven Wilson into a space that proved their own slightly different takes on…
Magic Hour
Magic Hour, comes from FeLid, a member of the post-hardcore band the north end and an organizer of the festival platform MIMINOIMI. Combining improvisational and accidental guitar sounds, lyrical ambient drones, and high-definition sound editing, Magic Hour is both accessible and deeply experimental in its approach.
Untitled
RGL is a track maker known for his lo-fi house productions and analog-textured dance music, with releases on labels such as Diskotopia and Breaker Breaker. His new work, Untitled, showcases a wide-ranging sonic palette: alongside rhythm-driven tracks, the release also features abstract drone pieces with little or no discernible beat. The result is a work that crystallizes RGL’s singular sensitivity to sound and texture.
Placebo Music
*75 copies limited edition* "Outwardly active in France's experimental music scene since a few years, Arnica Montana elegantly opens her discography with her first physical release, Placebo Music. Recorded in Nice, on the Côte d'Azur, this tape reflects - in the artist own's words - the boredom and suspended time of the region, the strange dystopian atmosphere of those cities, the mountains, the rhythm of the waves, and of the peculiar slowness that seems to permeate the landscape.
With her lit…
Black Tape II
The first full-length document of Rotting Telepathies, the group of the late post-punk figure Michio Kadotani and Asahito Nanjo. Recorded live in February 1982 and long buried on a tiny La Musica cassette, it captures the most band-like peak of Kadotani, the man Nanjo called the only real punk in Japan.
La Musica Bundle (6LP)
A door into the most private corner of the Japanese underground. With its La Musica series, Black Editions turns to the catalogue of La Musica, the tiny imprint run by Asahito Nanjo - the bassist and ringleader behind High Rise, Mainliner, Musica Transonic, Toho Sara and more - on which he issued a stream of hand-assembled cassettes and CD-Rs, sold in microscopic editions at a handful of live dates and all but impossible to find ever since. This first instalment, Flight 1, gathers six of those l…
Abe Kaii
A 1982 cassette by Abe Kaii, the duo of Jojo Hiroshige and Toshiji Mikawa, named in sly homage to free jazz saxophonist Kaoru Abe. A monolith of free jazz and psychedelic space rock from two future architects of Japanese noise, near impossible to hear for decades, reissued on Alchemy in 2017.
Live! Destroy Noise Symphony
A 2018 live document from Hijokaidan in their definitive musical form: Jojo Hiroshige on guitar, Junko's voice, Toshiji Mikawa on electronics and Futoshi Okano on drums, fusing into a single dense wall of sound. The King of Noise captured live and unrepentant. On Alchemy.
Kill
Solmania's first album in 18 years: a single 64-minute slab of avant-garde guitar torture from Masahiko Ohno and Katsumi Sugahara, wrung from self-built multi-neck guitars bristling with extra pickups. Not a static wall but a continually evolving storm of feedback and tone. On Alchemy, 2016.
Five Elements
A 2015 collaboration between Jojo Hiroshige on guitar and Haruo Ueda on electronics, structured around the natural elements. The Hijokaidan founder steps away from pure noise into a more textural dialogue, his guitar set against Ueda's shifting electronic fields. On Alchemy.
Little Something
An instrumental solo guitar album from Jojo Hiroshige, founder of Hijokaidan and self-styled King of Noise. Improvisation for solo electric guitar pushed to a dense, heavy extreme that is hard to believe comes from a single instrument. On Alchemy.
生きている価値なし～The Very Best Of Jojo Hiroshige
Jojo Hiroshige - known and feared throughout the world not only as a member of the legendary ‘‘Hijokaidan,’’ often referred as ‘‘King of Noise,’’ but also as the owner of the prestigious label “Alchemy Records,” which has released countless “Japanoise” masterpieces.
"Words are different to sounds in that the images they create are limited. They’re like a two-edged sword – sometimes they can be used effectively, but sometimes they restrict the range of the images employed. When I was young I read…
White Morning
On White Morning, Fumio Miyashita distils his healing‑ambient language into two near‑half‑hour reveries: soft synths and gentle acoustic colours held in a discovered stillness that treats music as a space for rest, focus and quiet presence.
Bivabippabualukka
On Bivabippabualukka, Sofie Birch turns a spiritually transformative period with her brother Alfred into a bossa‑tinted pocket of joy: playful, childlike songs where intuition, myth and healing spill out like fish from a cup of dreams.
Después De Llover
On Después De Llover, Eli Wewentxu and Indrė Jurgelevičiūtė turn a first encounter into a shared dreamscape, letting kanklės, txompe and violin wander in post‑rain light where plants, pudus and herons quietly rewrite the rules of folk dialogue.
