New Arrivals
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 re‑sculpt silence, timbre and breath.
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 fully under control.
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 in cuts and crackle.
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 utterly lived‑in.
Whirpool Ocean
First time on vinyl for these incendiary hard psych rock tracks, which made their only other appearance in Australia in 1999 on CD as part of the “Sky Pilot” compilation released by Camera Obscura Records.
With each passing year since his death, the intense and inspiring musical legacy of Jesus Acedo is in danger of slipping into darkness. That’s where we at Lion Productions come in — together with Rich Hopkins and San Jacinto Records — to do our utmost to keep the Lambent Flame burning, so to …
El Nuevo Montuno Llegó
First legitimately licensed and remastered vinyl edition of this legendary salsa dura classic from Puerto Rico’s Roberto Y Su Nuevo Montuno, originally released on Rubén Haddock’s Uniart label in 1970. Featuring detailed liner notes that reveal the untold story of the band and their debut album, and rare photos.
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 lyrics. This album has become one of the most coveted titles among collectors due to its outstanding musical quality and the fact that it suffered the consequences of the persecution of Mexican rock, which prevented it from being properly circulated a…
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 borders, genre, and time itself - tugging a thread through the history of wind instrumentation with ghostly agility.
At the heart of the record lie spiralling, bonelike kudu (antelope) horns - instruments that have lent their stirring calls to indige…
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 relationships and the quiet tension between them I explored how silence can resonate with sound.
The album begins with the most minimal piano chords then develops by reconstructing fragments of voice and percussion, Rhodes and synths along with traces of jazz…
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, waveform experiments, broadcast collage, and intense hand-made tape craft.
Launched in 1993 in memory of the studio’s founding architect Hiroshi Shioya, our project treats these tapes as living works—not nostalgia. We re-check sources, rebuild the li…
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
After months of careful excavation and meticulous restoration, dj echotree finds his way to ZitStill with a singular artefact. Delving into lost remnants of the spirit world, a gapless collage of found footage, spoken word and otherworldly jazz slowly emerged. A mute yet eloquent testimony, held together by instinct and the steady pulse of the MPC. Much remains to be uncovered about this entity and its teachings, rooted in beliefs that left no written trace. What is known is its devotion to the …
Post Coma
With their self-titled release on Titrate Records, Post Coma presents two twenty-minute passages shaped by a winter improvisation. What surfaces is a sense of detachment — at times even dissociation — treating the improvisation as a shared descent into the inner psyche. Listening as much to each other as to the remnants of their own decisions, the music emerges as a kind of cognitive experiment — a document of mutual attunement and the debris that gathers in its wake. The result lies suspended b…
Aerial
Aspen Edities is pleased to present Aerial, the third album of the experimental quartet Oker.
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 Mišukka (b. 1861 d.1919).
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. The ritual of process is that which carries. The process of ritual is that which brings moments both transitory and immortal, apprehended by musician, seer, clairvoyant, herald; the welling tones that emanate from the crystal salt of shattered primor…
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 Deutsche Grammophon in 1980. Had the Avant-Garde series not concluded nine years prior, it certainly would have been contained within its ranks. Illuminating a crucial juncture within the composer's career which not only found him fully embracing ac…
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.
