Live in Kabul 1976
Outstanding archival recordings by Hartmut Geerken. German author, poet, composer, film-maker, performer, and gifted musician who collaborated with John Tchicai, Sun Ra (he was the first to bring Sun Ra over to Egypt in 1971), Embryo, Michael Ranta, Art Ensemble Of Chicago, Takeisha Kosugi and many more. This is an incredible live recording of a concert hosted by the Goethe Institut of Kabul on September 22, 1976. More than sixty minutes of convulsive jams - and hypnotic obscure interludes to …
Hysterie off music
At the beginning, Hystérie off Music was conceived as a catalogue record, an open field where the author could play with all musical genres and their stereotypes, but then evolved rapidly into an uncompromising clash of field recordings, sampled instruments and Tazartès' incomparable vocal eclecticism, made of emotional psalms and shamanic hymns. The Encyclopédie of genres turns into a childish - and sometimes scary - play and the song titles mislead the listener introducing him to a c…
Check Point Charlie
Double LP edition, seminal album recorded in 1989 and originally released by Aaya in 1990, Check Point Charlie is the first work by Ghedalia Tazartés conceived for the compact disc format and its different time boundaries. Check Point Charlie is a collage journey where Tazartès pulls out all the stops to captivate and confuse the listener: street recordings, pseudo-enticing dialogues, sampled instruments, real instruments, rapid-fire splices, and that uncanny voice of his reciting, yodeling, sc…
I Don't Feel At Home In This World Anymore
"I'm sorry, but any record that opens with a vintage rebetika track is pretty much sold for me, and since this record does, the rest doesn't really matter, it's already awesome. Yep the first track on this killer re-issue is from Marika Papagika and sets the pace (and standard) for the rest of the album, which is a showcase of music recorded in the USA between 1927 and 1948 but rooted in other cultures. So from the initial blast of gorgeous Greek folk, we're thrown into Calypso, Appalachian folk…

Ghost Woman Blues : Country Blues 1927-1952

The real stuff and some of Mississippi Records all time favorite tunes.
The Crying Princess - 78rpm Records From Burma
Sublime Frequencies enchant with a collection of super rare Burmese popular music dating between 1909 and 1960. Entirely gathered from dusty, almost forgotten 78s discovered by Robert Millis and Alan Bishop on their various trips to the region (now known as Myanmar), 'The Crying Princess' is like a magical portal into a another world, at least from our contemporary western perspective, and further builds on the wealth of obscure music rescued from the country on 'Princess Nicotine', 'Guitars Fro…

Industriale Illuminato
Green LP version. One of the most intriguing artists on the Hospital Productions roster, Lussuria came to prominence with the release of three tapes as part of the American Babylon series in 2012 which were eventually compiled into a double vinyl edition in 2013. His opiated atmospheres brought together the ritualistic appeal of late '70s and early '80s Italian industrial music crossed with the claustrophobia of early material from The Cure and the decadent, voyeuristic compulsion of Pasolini…
Local Agent
Local Agent is the fourth lp by Charlatan, a.k.a. Brad Rose, label-head of Digitalis, also known as the north sea and one half of Safiyya. Local Agent is Charlatan's streamlined statement, an amalgam of spy and sci-fi techno with touches of abstract dub, finely mastered by John Tejada. Local Agent is a great culmination of several years' work by brad rose, who has been studying and styling a conceptual and abstract merge between industrial-beat and techno structures, with a sensitivity for narra…

Flieg Vogel Fliege
"Having arrived in austria following a protracted lean period, Roedelius finally had the chance to work in a studio which was not only well equipped, but was also run by a kindred spirit sound engineer. The favourable working conditions, a myriad of new impressions and, by no means least, his personal happiness, saw roedelius and his music flourish. this is discernable on "Flieg vogel fliege", even if only some of the music was created in his new adopted home. if complete insouciance, the accep…
There
Engrossing debut album from Iranian sound artist, Pouya Ehsaei, sublimating samples of traditional Iranian music to “reveal the rage hidden beneath its melancholia.” There was produced in 2010, using fractured and brutally processed instrumentation indigenous to Iran to isolate a palpable feeling of tension articulated with a timbre unique to the artist’s background. In the course of its six pieces we perceive a stark and grinding sadness from his aerated arrangements, gleaning elusive emotions …

The Kuang EP heralds the release of Gamble's keenly-awaited 2nd LP KOCH with three tracks of dissociative ambient/techno.
