Baudouin Oosterlynck & Bénédicte Davin
On their self‑titled LP, Baudouin Oosterlynck & Bénédicte Davin slip two late‑’70s vocal compositions into the present tense, turning Glasgow’s Tectonics stage into a resonant laboratory where Oosterlynck’s ultra‑precise scores and Davin’s live voice…
Rampe Amalgam
On Rampe Amalgam, Markus Oehlen extends his studio day into the night, turning the same unruly humour and visual overload of his paintings into skewed, concrète‑spattered electronics: half hidden beat, half dust‑storm, all deliberately “wrong” and fu…
De Vrije Loop
On De Vrije Loop, Mix Monster Menno raids the entire Ultra Eczema archive, flipping decades of uncompromising noise, improv and oddball electronics into a late‑night, After‑Hours‑style turntablist trip that feels like the label’s unconscious talking …
Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea
For Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea, Joe Hisaishi pours big‑hearted symphonic colour, children’s choirs and unmistakable earworms into Miyazaki’s flood‑myth fairytale, crafting a score that’s equal parts tempest, lullaby and sugar‑rush theme song.
Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind
For Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, Joe Hisaishi builds a full mythos in sound: from early synth‑heavy image pieces to orchestral suites, his themes move between apocalyptic dread, ecological mystery and childlike hope with uncanny inevitability.
Castle in the Sky
On Castle in the Sky, Joe Hisaishi wraps Miyazaki’s floating‑island adventure in luminous themes, bounding chase cues and choral climaxes, fusing folk‑coloured melody and orchestral sweep into one of the most iconic soundworlds in the Ghibli universe…
Porco Rosso
The Porco Rosso scores show Joe Hisaishi at his most lyrical and playful, weaving 1920s Italian nostalgia, aerial derring‑do and bittersweet romance into lush orchestral themes and chanson‑tinged songs that make Miyazaki’s Adriatic daydream feel utte…

La Onda Pesada
“La Onda Pesada” (1971) by Ernan Roch showcases the most experimental side of Mexican rock of the era, blending blues and psychedelia, with Hendrix-style guitars driven by powerful fuzz riffs, alongside more folk oriented passages and deeply poetic l…
What If We Align Our Breath
Pioneering Swiss trombonist and composer Andreas Tschopp marries contemporary jazz with South African horns and homemade ocarinas, creating a record quite unlike anything you've heard before. "What if We Align Our Breath" disregards the curvature of …
Mijin
The title “Mijin” comes from a Japanese word meaning very fine particles. The album gathers particle-like sounds and lets them resonate in space. As I watch the movements that arise between them a balance gradually takes shape. Within those relations…
The Beginning of Japanese Electroacoustic Music Vol.2
Big Tip! Born in the mid-1950s, the NHK Electronic Music Studio was a world-leading lab where Japan’s electronic music took shape. This album gathers works created there between 1968 and 1974—a vivid snapshot of chance operations, ring modulation, wa…
These Rays of Sun which illuminated the Darkness of my Body and my Mind left Room for subjective Interpretations on the Exile that is Life

Iivana Mišukka
Death Is Not The End present a further volume of Arja Kastinen's eerie amalgamations of 110 year old wax cylinders with her own meticulously transcribed takes, this time focussing in on Armas Otto Väisänen's field recordings of kantele player Iivana …
Ritual Fever
There are moments of silent depth in which the winter of the scalpel of meaning and the spring of the sound-born, unleashed body look upon the world fully present. When the notes at last are heard, the ordered world is their indistinguishable score. …
Quatrain / A Flock Descends Into The Pentagonal Garden
Containing what are easily among the important and celebrated works by Tōru Takemitsu, arguably Japan's most important and celebrated 20th Century avant-garde composer, 'Quatrain / A Flock Descends Into The Pentagonal Garden' was originally issued by…
The Watchers
On The Watchers, eight Todmorden‑based artists summon a new, collectively woven score for Richard Foster’s 1969 cult short, amplifying its semi‑rural folk horror, UFO lore and moorland unease into a creaking, psychic soundscape.
