Patterns
Hidden in a remote, forgotten corner of German library music, Peter Patzer stands as a unique figure in the landscape of 1980s functional music production. A self-taught artist and musician, Patzer founded his own personal label, Crea Music, operating in complete autonomy from his base in Bremen, northern Germany. Between 1983 and 1989 he produced eight white vinyl LPs, all featuring the same austere tricolor sleeve - red, white and blue - with title and catalog number typewritten. A minimalist …
Chromophobia
A record made for the ones we lost. Oli Heffernan returns with his fourth album for Riot Season - an expansive double LP that carries with it a deep personal history and years of unfinished business.
The earliest sessions date back to 2018 at the IDI in Middlesbrough, engineered by longtime collaborator Nigel Crooks over the course of three weekends. Then life happened. The material was shelved, left to gather dust for reasons that accumulated and compounded. When Crooks passed away in 2023, com…
Horizonte
On Horizonte, PSI channel the late‑’70s German fusion boom into a lean, high‑octane set where Matthias Frey’s electric keys and Volkmar Zimmermann’s manic guitar ride a phenomenal rhythm section, delivering melodically rich jazz‑rock that punches as hard as it dazzles.
Four Seasons
Four Season finds Virgo - the German fusion group that first came together as Lava in 1974 - stepping away from major‑label orbit into a more autonomous, exploratory phase, stretching their jazz‑rock language into a calmly expansive, four‑part suite tracked at Tonstudio Bauer in late 1976.
Park Of Reason
On Park of Reason, Paul Chain loosens doom metal’s grip just enough to let in air, colour and delirium, fusing obsidian riffs, reverb‑soaked keys and his unmistakable glossolalic vocals into a wandering, lysergic meditation on faith, doubt and psychic drift.
El-Hadra - The Mystik Dance
El-Hadra is more than ambient music - it’s a sonic ritual that leaves a permanent mark on the soul. This album has transformed the way many perceive sound, becoming a personal landmark for countless listeners. Originally recorded in the late 1980s, it fuses elements of Sufi trance with hypnotic tabla rhythms, meditative zither, and deep ambient drone to form a truly transcendent experience. Listening to El-Hadra is like entering a space beyond time - a journey one can take again and again, alway…
Deathgames
*150 copies limited edition* After the success of his debut 'Stealer' and the relative failure of his follow up 'The Great Tower', soon to be legendary director Mikkel Mannheimer needed a hit, eventually finding it in the now cult horror classic 'Deathgames'.
Set against the backdrop of a grimy, sleazy 1980s New York, Deathgames follows savant ex-profiler turned true crime writer Gil Wrexham, as he finds himself dug far too deep in an active case. At each turn the equally clever killer is slowly…
Ash (35 Anniversary Edition)
On Ash, Paul Chain strips his sound down to its smouldering core, turning slow‑burn riffs, funereal keys and desolate vocal invocations into a stark ritual of aftermath, where every chord feels like a fragment left behind by some unnamed catastrophe.
Una vita nel mondo degli spiriti e della magia (DVD)
** 2026 Stock ** An unpublished portrait of one of the greatest occultists of the 20th century: Fulvio Rendhell. From his childhood spent in a family of mediums to the founding of the Navona 2000 spiritualist circle. The incredible story of the founding father of modern magic understood as a true science. Extra: interview with Fulvio Rendhell by Silvia Vecchi. Reissued in a new elegant graphic design with commentary by Italian cinema maestro Pupi Avati. Duration: 43 min.
Master Of All Times
On Master of all Times, Paul Chain sinks deep into his singular doom‑psych continuum, braiding monolithic riffs, church‑organ atmospheres and glossolalic vocals into a slow, occult spiral where time feels stretched, fractured and finally irrelevant.
Exterminating Angel
On Exterminating Angel, Dark Day turns their minimalist electronics toward something more sinister and cinematic, fusing icy synth patterns and ritualistic rhythm into a claustrophobic séance on desire, control and self‑erasure.
Darkest Before Dawn
On Darkest Before Dawn, Dark Day strips post‑punk down to a skeletal, nocturnal pulse, turning minimal synths, deadpan melody and spectral atmosphere into a stark hymn for the final hours before collapse.
Ipnagogico
Al Doum & The Faryds have always been an enchanting organism, a timeless land of wisdom, humility, brotherhood and love. Their blend of spiritual jazz, psychedelia and Afro-Latin rock holds a magical balance, turning their music into a tropical celebration filled with harmony and deep vibrations. A volcano of emotion, where the poetry of rising and falling voices becomes a gospel and soul illumination, echoing from faraway places. The expanded horn section — alto and tenor sax, soprano sax and b…

Live At The Hungry Brain
A cross-generational summit between the legendary pianist Marilyn Crispell (member of the Anthony Braxton Quartet and Reggie Workman Ensemble) and Midwest improvising trio of bass clarinetist Jason Stein, bassist Damon Smith, and drummer Adam Shead delivers all the range and expressivity one would expect from such seasoned players. The concert captured on Live at the Hungry Brain moves organically from searing free jazz to contemplative, lyrical balladry, all of conceived in the urgency of the…
