The Mutations: Unreleased Basil Kirchin Film Music From 1968 and 1974
Some mighty fine unreleased Basil Kirchin's film music here, including the freaky deaky Mutations score, plus a killer Eastern-tinged TV soundtrack from a TV show you may never have heard of, called Journey To The Unknown, which was a spooky precursor to Tales Of The Unexpected. Kirchin's distinctive talent resides in the smooth juxtapositions and mutations of recorded surroundings, free jazz skronk, surprising vocal samples, and delicate electronic harmonies that he employs in his music.

Full-color cover artwork printed on Italian fine art 250g linen textured paper; hand-pasted on pro-printed reverse cardboard jackets. Includes two inserts.

The Snow Is Dancing
300 numbered and signed copies. 180 gr. Clear Vinyl. 'The Snow Is Dancing' is the new album by musician Arturo Stàlteri. A true homage to snow, its lightness and purity. Inspired by Claude Debussy's composition of the same name, the Roman pianist within this work guides listeners on a diaphanous and enchanted sound journey, in which the piano becomes a diary capturing subtle emotions and moments of wonder: “I have always loved snow. An impalpable white blanket that seems to erase every imperfect…
Pagan Psych-Folk Glam Vocal Sounds of the Italian Cinema (1965-1977)
Pagan Psych-Folk Glam Vocal Sounds of the Italian Cinema is a superb collection of extremely obscure gems culled from a variety of forgotten films. Featuring mostly vocal tracks, these songs are dripping with that mid 1960s to mid 1970s exploratory nature of song-craft, from clever and majestic to the ridiculously absurd. Acoustic guitars laced with strings and subtle effects, haunting and moody lyrical tales, and epic ballads that rock - all of them fitting together like an impossible puzzle th…

Electronic Sound's final cover star of 2024 is the legendary Jean-Michel Jarre and we are bundling the issue with a limited edition green vinyl seven-inch featuring live versions of 'Oxygène 4' and 'Équinoxe 7', two of the synth superstar's biggest and best-known tracks.
Variété Noir
"This new album from Les Truffles is as delicious as the thing they are named after, and as classy too. It's a deep dive into their smoky and seductive late night instrumental funk sound. The drumming is deft and feathery, the chords like puddles of bliss and the melodies hypotonic. Sometimes there is caution in the stick work to make for an unsettling mood, at others these sounds are warm and controlling for evening relaxation. Fans of El Michels Affair and Bad Bad Not Good will surely lap up t…
Distorted Clamor
We are proud to announce 'Distorted Clamor', the latest full-length album from legendary Spanish ambient composer Suso Saiz. Marking his eighth release with our label, the album showcases Saiz at his spellbinding best, continuing a prolific creative phase in a career that spans over 40 years. Building upon 'Resonant Bodies' and 'Nothing Is Objective', his most recent full length releases for Music From Memory, Saiz's dedication to experimentation and conceptual approach to sound lie at the centr…
The Piri Piri Samplers + O Terço dos Homens
Or Sobre Brau is the duo of Andreu G. Serra [ Ubaldo ] and Kiran Leonard. The project originated in 2017 when the pair lived together in Penha de França, Lisbon, after having moved to Portugal at the same time by chance. Originally from southern Catalonia and north-west England respectively, the two – still today – tend to communicate in a poor garble of Spanish, English, Portuguese and Catalan, which gives rise to misunderstanding, disputes and comedy. The work of the duo is firmly rooted in a …
Beauties
A lost classic of the Ethiopian Golden Age, reissued in full for the first time! On this 1976 gem of a record, Aselefech Ashine and Getenesh Kebret’s voices intertwine in close harmony, the two “beauties” singing in duet across 10 gorgeous tracks. The Army Band, which backed greats like Tlahoun Gesesse and Mahmoud Ahmed, brings Mulatu-esque minor-key piano runs, interlocking percussion, and rock-steady basslines. Arranger Teshome Sisay’s flute winds through the compositions, tying together glori…
Sculptures From Under the City Ice
Tip! “Sculptures From Under the City Ice is a sort of longing, I think,” Christian Winther says of his third full-length solo record. This statement is cryptic but somehow poignant, poetic, and also a little weird. And so is Sculptures From Under the City Ice. Winther is a highly sought after guitarist and tireless collaborator in the Norwegian avant garde scene. His previous solo release was awarded album of the year by Klassekampen in Norway. He has toured extensively throughout Europe, Japan,…
Instrumental Ensemble - Soundtrack For Imaginary Movie Vol. 1
C'mon Tigre announces their new instrumental project, Instrumental Ensemble - Soundtrack for Imaginary Movie Vol 1. This album offers an alternate view of cinematic music: a soundtrack composed for a fictional film using a challenging and inventive method. This project investigates an alternative approach in which music shapes and guides visual storytelling. It's the first in a series of albums dedicated to as-yet-unmade films, enabling listeners to explore music as a key component in cinematic n…
Cupar Grain Silo
'Cupar Grain Silo' is Sam Annand's first release on the Blackford Hill label. Its nine tracks blur the lines between ambient electronica and sonic history, as synthesised melodies and rhythms reverberate through the extreme acoustics of the disused Cupar Grain Silo in Scotland. Built in 1964 as a sugar store, the silo towers 60 metres above the surrounding Fife countryside. Its industrial life was short: in 1971 it was closed, and barring a short period as a grain store, remained empty for decad…
Richard Wilson Avena
*300 copies limited edition* We’ve found the son of Daniel Johnston and Robert Wyatt, and he works at a call center in San Antonio, Texas. His name is Richard Wilson Avena. Slowly approaching his fifties, he is a voracious fan of sixties pop music, composing and playing since the age of 13. A chronic depressive, music and family are 'what have kept him alive all these years.' He takes care of his elderly father daily, a former writer and activist for Mexican civil rights. Armed with only his 8-t…
Birds Of Paradise
Celebrating the interconnected strands of head-tripping electronica she holds dear, Nadia Struiwigh arrives on Dekmantel with her fourth album of widescreen machine soul. Birds Of Paradise joins the dots between electro, techno, ambient and jungle as a reflection of the symbiotic relationship between the contrasting elements which drive all life on earth - the inescapable and chaotic forces of cause and effect. Echoing the free-spirited approach of electronic music in the mid-90s, it’s an album …
Riusciranno I Nostri Eroi A Ritrovare L'Amico Misteriosamente Scomparso In Africa? (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)
Finally the first official vinyl reissue of the original Trovajoli soundtrack. Originally dated 1968 this is possibly one of the greatest Italian cult “road” movie of all times ! Composed by Maestro Armando Trovajoli and featuring Alessandro Alessandroni Cantori Moderni, this is a glorious mix of visionary epic sounds for a thrilling trip through exotic Africa. The plot of this film was in fact located in Angola, then a Portuguese colony. So, by poetic license, the music is heavily influenced b…
Phase Murmur
Over top of Gillespie's nimble, pointillist drumming (he also plays piano and harpsichord), Hunerberg employs flute, organ, bass and balloon (that's not a saxophone on "Cucumber"). The disorienting opener "Cro Magnon/Two" recalls Kraftwerk precursor the Organisation, or contemporaries like Faust. There's a strange, disconsolate atmosphere to the proceedings, almost as if the air had been sucked out of a recording session booked for some avant-garde jazz heavies. Instead of Impulse, Phase Murmur …
Hunter Folk Vol 1: Tribute to Toumani Koné
Born in 1989 in Bamako, Mali, Nfaly Diakité is a member of the Donsow, Bambara animist hunters. Nfaly Diakité is named after his grandfather, the late Nfaly Diakité, one of Mali’s most respected donso chiefs. His grandfather did not play, but as a leading figure in the donso brotherhood, he was always accompanied by musician Yoro Sidibé. Nfaly grew up alongside Yoro Sidibé, who became his first master of the donso ngoni, a type of eight-stringed antelope skin harp. After leaving school to devote…
