Carpet Proof Of Daily Reports
Hand-numbered edition of 300. It’s a Swedish house thing. Börft boss Jan Zwarre Svensson a.k.a Frak returns to his early project, Villa Åbo, for six deep and rude acid rub downs. Named after the former bank he grew up in and later founded Studio Styrka, site of early Frak and Alvars Orkester recordings, Villa Åbo is a funky study in teenaged fascinations and nostalgia for dance music’s golden era.

Bleaklow
New vinyl edition (300 copies) of this killer. Fully remastered by Matt Colton at Alchemy. One of the most destitute and absorbing albums in Leyland Kirby’s canon is finally given a much needed vinyl pressing, following on from its initial CD release 6 years ago. ‘Bleaklow’ is harrowing from the start, the opening "Something To Do With Death” reverberating dread via layers of unstable, radiant drones punctuated with pained, hi-pitched howls that cut through the mix with violent intent. ’Solemn D…
Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore
The score to the turner prize winning installation, newly re-issued on clear vinyl
. Edition of 500. The video installation Fiorucci Made Me Hardcore (1999) is one of the best-known and -loved works by Turner Prize-winning, London-based artist and Northern English emigre Mark Leckey.

A phantasmic and transcendent collage of meticulously sour…

Information
2016 Release. First time available since its original release in 1972. Jukka Hauru is hardly a household name, but in Finland he's a noted producer and journalist, and in the 1970s he released two albums featuring his wild guitar excursions. It's a basic psychedelic jazz avantgarde power-trio outing, featuring Jukka's ace six-string blasts, but is also joined by sax and violin, giving it a broader, more expansive sound. There is also a sense of humor prevalent on the album, as if Hauru didn't ta…
Day is Over
2016 Release. Day is Over, an album often credited to Esko Linnavalli Quintet but without any mention of performing group on the cover, was born during a series of Finnish Jazz Music Workshop events, led by Heikki Sarmanto and Esko Linnavalli, out which the New Music Orchestra UMO was born. A UMO-anticipating 14-headed workshop band gathered to rehearse at the rock club Tavastia in 1974. Out of that group emerged a quintet, who took a trip to Stockholm to record Day Is Over. The album appeared o…
Naked City
Small repress available. "Regularly hailed as one the most important composers of the late 20th century, John Zorn is comfortable at the helm of an ensemble, as improviser on an array of instruments, and as a bold theorist of collaboration. Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the New York artist and operator of the esteemed Tzadik label became known for assembling hardcore-inflected jazz ensembles and for devising 'game systems,' or intricate musical conditions intended to force players into new ter…
Nascimento
Legendary psychedelic-prog-groves LP from Brazil by the enigmatic group Perfume Azul Do Sol's 'Nascimento'. Recorded in 1974 in São Paulo, 'Nascimento' was the first and only album by the band 'Perfume Azul Do Sol'; mixing the talents of Pedro Baldanza (bass), Jean (guitar), Gil (drums), Ana Maria Guedes (voice and piano), with the Nordestine (north eastern) influences of Benvindo (voice and guitar). Husband and wife Ana and Benvindo were the heart & soul of the group, and together made a brilli…
Hectic Shakes
Alter follow on from the bilingual dark ambient theatricals of Liberez with this four track EP from veteran Hamburg producer Christoph De Babalon. As an affiliate of Digital Hardcore, Fat Cat and the recently founded V I S, CDB has tirelessly explored the intersections of breakcore, illbient and drum and bass. His work is at once uncompromising yet stylish – broken, punishing rhythms collide with dreary, doom-laden melodies and those eerie in-between spaces of vintage Unit Moebius or Deutsch Nep…
Exquisite Angst
If you're gonna go out, go out like a muthaf*cker". A Colourful Storm presents Exquisite Angst, a collection of Christoph de Babalon's most hardcore, abyssal and mutant creations of his haunting past. A blown-apart, mangled depiction of muck, grime and breakbeat-drone, its tracks parallel the timespan and isolated madness of the If You're Into It, I'm Out Of It (CFET 016LP, 2018) recording sessions. Bleeding, darkside breakcore/jungle reconstructions that draw no comparison; there's a reason why…
Oyiwane
Sweet and sublime recordings from Elementary school group in Northern Niger from the 1980s. All-girl group accompanied by their instructor on the acoustic guitar, recalling Guinean folk and early Ali Farka Touré. Troupe École Tudu takes their name from a small neighborhood of Agadez, Niger. In 1985, the city hosted a musical competition between various schools. École Tudu, lacking a choir, sought out a young Tuareg guitarist Kader “Barmo” Balla to create a new style of music. The guitar was new…
Zerzura
Original soundtrack recording to the film Zerzura, the first ever
Saharan acid Western, telling the story of a nomad’s search for a magic
city of gold. Evoking the desert journey with free form guitar
improvisations, the soundtrack is a meditation on the mysteries of the
Sahara. Composed by writer and actor Ahmoudou Madassane, the
instrumental score takes the familiar Tuareg guitar tradition into new
directions, transforming desert blues into ambient soundscapes.
Recorded in studio while w…
Elemente
LP version. Includes CD. Elemente -- album number seven from the third incarnation of the legendary krautronic project Kluster/Cluster springs a surprise with a minor sensation: sequencer lines. Using an array of exclusively analogue instruments, Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Onnen Bock, and Armin Metz have recorded eight tracks which, at one and the same time, are intrinsically hypnotic and sublimely beautiful. In principle, Elemente was created in much the same fashion as earlier Qluster albums: the…
Shared Meanings
individually stamped edition of 400 copies. This sampler 12” includes Mumdance & Logos’ massive
‘Teachers’ alongside zingers from Nkisi,Peder Mannerfelt, Caterina
Barbieri and Space Afrika. On a dance tip, Mumdance & Logos pay
tribute to a Chicago convention on ‘Teachers’, listing a roll-call of
influential UK artists, DJs, labels and clubs in a style most famously
deployed by Daft Punk, while Nkisi comes fiercely correct with the
swingeing Congolese techno rolige of ‘Kinega’, and Peder Ma…

and banjo and has a background in pop, folk and various types of
experimental music. He is probably best known for his 2017 solo album
Valosta valoon on American Feeding Tube Records. Topias has studied
classic…
Without a Song
Original 1980 LP, few copies available and of course long out of print. Recorded in January 1980, almost one year after Free Soap, Vol 5.
Without a Song seems instilled with a new sense of humour and adventure.
The LP finds CCMC quoting from lounge piano ballads one moment,
whimsical comedy soundtracks the next and then lifting off into a full
force freakout. The dynamics are incredible, with the band achieving the
kind of volcanic volume associated with Japanese noise groups almost 15
yea…
