Existrances Vol. I
In a world saturated with algorithmic predictability and digital gloss, Jacques Berchten’s Existrances Vol. I emerges as a defiantly analog, deeply personal artifact. Berchten, a Lausanne-based autodidact whose creative life spans over four decades, approaches sound as a painter approaches canvas—layering, erasing, and reimagining the boundaries between disciplines. Existrances is not merely an album, but a “project-symbiosis,” a living dialogue between painting, music, and poetry.
The record un…
Aix Em Klemm
2025 stock As Adam Wiltzie told Sadness Is In The Sky fanzine, his collaboration with Donne began when “we all met during a Texas swing of a Labradford tour that Stars Of The Lid opened for back in 1996. They stayed at my house for a few days and we became close.” A year later Wiltzie was asked to join Labradford for their Mi Media Naranja European tour of 1997 as the sound technician. This tour also included Bruce Gilbert of the legendary band Wire who was the opening act and joined them in the…

Cluster can be counted among the most important international protagonists of the electronic avant-garde. Some credit them with having invented ambient music, others as pioneers of synthesizer pop, whilst to some they are firmly embedded in the krautrock universe. There is some truth in all of these notions. Cluster (or Kluster as they were in the beginning) were founded in 1970 in Berlin by Conrad Schnitzler, Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius. A change in direction and musical differenc…
Musick To Play In The Dark²
After leaving London in 1999 for the sleepy seaside retiree town of Weston-super-Mare, Coil co-founders John Balance and Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson set up shop in a palatial eight-bedroom estate to pursue the outer reaches of the group’s heightening cabalistic chemistry. Among the staggering string of late-era masterpieces they produced is lunar opus Musick To Play In The Dark, widely hailed as an artistic zenith upon its release. The sessions that birthed it were in fact so fruitful that a s…
Musick To Play In The Dark
* 2021 Ltd. repress on black vinyl * Few groups in recent history forged as confounding and alchemical a body of work as Coil, the partnership of Peter 'Sleazy' Christopherson and John Balance. From album to album and phase to phase their recordings spelunk perplexing depths of esoteric industrial, occult electronics, and drugged poetry, both embodying and alienating parallel currents of their peers. The late 1990's in particular were a fertile era for the duo, embracing chance, chaos, and colla…
Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil
Coil’s year 2000 electric storm is their next legendary chapter for legit reissue, exemplifying the fathomless variegation of their vision with overproof levels of digital noise masking deeply trippy song structures. After tenderising flesh with the reissue of the ‘Musick To Play In The Dark’ volumes, Dais unleash Coil’s tempestuous sore thumb ‘Constant Shallowness Leads To Evil’ for a sharp right swerve into the depths of their profound catalogue. Issued the same year as ‘MTPITD’, as well as ‘…
Time Machines
2025 Much-needed repress. Starting as a rough demo tape recorded solely by Coil member Drew McDowall, Time Machines started to take full form when McDowall enthusiastically delivered these demo recordings to John Balance and Peter "Sleazy" Christopherson as sketches for a new Coil project with the primary goal of shifting Coil’s sound further into a more conceptually abstract direction. Largely recorded in 1997 using single takes, with minimal post production, these four drones contain every int…
Le telescope de la mort
Composed of 7 tracks, which oscillate between post-medieval melodies, ghost-
wave and future music of the 70s... Their universe resembles a soaring
soundtrack, the kind of German TV movie that ends well but from which you can
never really escape.
Albus
EXTNDDNTWRK is the enduring solo project of Andrew Fearn, who is more commonly recognised as one half of Sleaford Mods. While akin to his role in his main group with respect to primarily working with electronic sounds, samples and rhythms, EXTNDDNTWRK is a far more mannered affair whose approach is concerned with atmospherics, occasional tempered beats perfect for a late night drive along a deserted motorway, near-ambient swerves into neo-minimalism, crisp melodies and big grooves swollen with t…
Live At The Library Theatre '83
2025 stock "Live at The Library Theatre '83" captures the legendary Nico, former member of The Velvet Underground, in a raw and intimate live performance at Manchester’s Library Theatre in 1983. This release, issued by Culture Factory and Cherry Red Records, marks the first time this concert has been available on vinyl, presented as a limited edition for Record Store Day.
Live At The Hacienda '83
2025 stock Limited to 2000 copies. Having appeared in La Dolca Vita before joining The Velvet Underground in New York in the mid-‘60s, Nico seemed to be at the epicentre of all that was cool in the ‘60s. And she continued that trend by relocating to Manchester in the ‘80s for a career renaissance before her death in 1988. This record immortalises her performance at The Hacienda, Manchester, in 1983. This deluxe package includes an OBI strip, single album jacket, printed inner sleeve, record labe…
April Is Passing
2025 stock Second VHF solo LP from the Pelt/Black Twigs mainstay, following 2022’s acclaimed “Evening Measures.” “April is Passing” builds on the striking solo Hardanger-style fiddle performances on the previous LP to take the music even further out, with deep drones and extended techniques defining a vocabulary that is Americana-adjacent, but a unique and special sound that Mike Gangloff is pursuing almost alone. Joined on selected tracks by Cara Gangloff’s Sruti and Kaily Shenker’s sonorous Ce…

One of the most revered, reviled and talked about records in all Australian music history (I’m) Stranded, by The Saints, finally gets the box set treatment.

The iconic …
Der Kleine Fritz In Klopstockland
2025 stock German conceptualist Ditterich von Euler-Donnersperg—alias the polymath Uli Rehberg—returns with "Der Kleine Fritz In Klopstockland," a release as enigmatic as its creator and as cryptic as the label that hosts it, the fabled Walter Ulbricht Schallfolien. As with much of Rehberg’s output, the boundaries between sound art, musique concrète, and dadaist narrative dissolve into a singularly strange proto-surrealist zone.
"Der Kleine Fritz In Klopstockland" oscillates between spoken …
Faust. Eros. Tod.
2025 Stock. In the shadowy interstices of avant-garde performance and sonic extremity, Faust. Eros. Tod. stands as one of Diamanda Galás’s most elusive and mythic recordings. Circulating as a rare bootleg, this live album—captured in the early 1980s and released unofficially in 1988—offers a raw, unfiltered glimpse into Galás’s early explorations of the voice as a weapon, an invocation, and a lament.
Faust. Eros. Tod. is not a conventional album, but a document of ritualistic performance. Galás’…
Der Fluss In Der Truhe
2025 Stock. There’s a certain feral, mischievous wit that has long defined the output of Walter Ulbricht Schallfolien, and "Der Fluss In Der Truhe," the collaborative release from Ditterich von Euler-Donnersperg and Column One, is no exception. Far removed from the polite boundaries of genre, the record unfolds as a cryptic exchange between two of Germany’s most enigmatic sound art congregations.
On Side A, Ditterich von Euler-Donnersperg (aka Uli Rehberg) weaves together fractured field re…
Capitol Complex
2025 stock Tris Vonna-Michell's latest artist's record/book is constructed around two works, Capitol Complex (2012-2014) and Ulterior Vistas (2012-2013), both of which are encapsulated on a ten-inch vinyl record. The spoken-word compositions are enclosed within a gatefold design and accompanied by the Capitol Complex manuscript as a booklet insert and a bound series of Ulterior Vistas photographic montages.
The Capitol Complex (Side A) recording pans between improvised spoken word and musical co…
Barbare Electrique
The trip of Steel Mammoth has truly been long and strange. On this album they've finally come to an end, sort of. This is true post-post-apocalyptic electro-acoustic noise, culled from metal percussion, gongs and electronics by Jussi Lehtisalo (Circle, Pharaoh Overlord), Ilkka Vekka (Gatha, Haare etc.) and Ville Pirinen (Seremonia, VPCS). Imagine a lost INA-GRM session, dug up from radioactive black sand in the year 3019. Circuit funeral march, ritual music for androids. A joint release between …
しずくたち / Shizukutachi
Big tip! From the 1950s, Masaaki Takano (1927-2007) worked as a freelance "sound planner," mainly creating sound effects for stage productions. In the mid-1980s he began performances called "Sound Play" where he would perform on his own self-created sound instruments and his collection of ethnic instruments. Growing out of his work with sound effects, he became obsessed with the recording of natural sounds from the 1970s onwards, and this album "Shizukutachi" is a record of a high-quality record…
Reese And The Smooth Ones
Reese and the Smooth Ones was captured during the same revolutionary Paris session as Message to Our Folks, but stands apart as a two-part, 40-minute odyssey of unchained invention.
