Radio Lusaka
Includes deluxe 12-page booklet with unpublished photos, lyrics, translations, and liner notes written by NTS radio host Jamal Khadar. Before there was a Zambia, there was Alick Nkhata. Born in Kasama in 1922 to a Tonga father and Bemba mother, Nkhata would become the voice of a nation that did not yet exist - and help sing it into being. Vocalist, guitarist, bandleader, broadcaster, archivist, freedom fighter: he moved between these roles as effortlessly as he moved between lonesome country sli…
LA Dusseldorf
Gatefold cover, blue vinyl. Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf. Düsseldorf. The mantra repeats for thirteen minutes, hypnotic as a highway journey, ecstatic as a stadium anthem. It's 1976 and Klaus Dinger - the drummer who invented the motorik beat, the man who alongside Michael Rother created Neu! and redefined the very concept of rhythm in rock - has a new machine to drive. He's christened it with the name of his hometown on the Rhine. And the first record he makes with this new formation is c…
The Figure In The Carpet
*150 copies limited edition* For the last 30 years Margarida Garcia and Manuel Mota have shared a common space of listening, risk, and reinvention. A singular language born from the absolute necessity of the moment. Following Domestic Scene (2024, Feeding Tube Records), The Figure in the Carpet confirms a body of work that continues to expand with rigor, subtlety, and an originality rarely encountered.
Here, sound is not merely gesture or melody; it is also fragment, remainder, residue — noise t…
Tapsalteerie, Depicted in Echo

Captured in the resonant hush of live performance, this album weaves ancient strings into ethereal echoes, where tradition fractures into boundless invention.
Abas's cello—rich with microtonal bends and nomadic grit—collides with Kallin's viola. What emerges is a tapestry of taps, scrapes, and shimmer…
Una Rosa Nel Giardino D'Inverno: Il Ritorno
Dream Division returns with Il Ritorno (Una Rosa Nel Giardino D'Inverno), a haunting reimagining of his 2024 giallo-inspired album that transcends conventional remix territory. Rather than simple reinterpretations, this Library of the Occult release presents what might be called a "phantasmagoric re-score"—as if the original film had been recut from alternate reels, revealing shadow narratives hidden in the margins. The project assembles a carefully curated roster of artists who share Dream Divi…

Moids
*2025 stock* Sound recordings from moids, a sound installation project by Kazuki Saita, Hiroko Mugibayashi, and Soichiro Mihara. The release features three versions based on the principle of “one input (a microphone) and one sound-producing mechanism.” Presented in sculptural form, these swarms of devices respond to one another’s sounds like cicadas or frogs in chorus.
Version 1 plays like minimal music: electronic tones answering each other without rhythm. Version 2 evokes the sonic image of in…
Restless Thoughtlessness
*2025 stock* Utah Kawasaki's 36th solo album following his previous "Songs I Played 2" released in 2013. “Based on a web page that analyzes the non-disclosed NRPN (MIDI message indigenous to a device) specifications of the Alesis Micron digital synthesizer, I implemented a program that changes its configurable parameter value little by little (like floating in a space that has [Number of Parameters] units of dimensions). I ran that program and let it go on, and recorded two sessions each for an …

Clouds Ov Deconstruction
The Austrasian Goat started as a black metal outfit that was meant to be anti-nationalist (and of course anti fascist) but that proved ultimately too taxing a fight to have within the genre’s flawed genetics… but The Austrasian Goat never died and comes back as beautiful and bold as ever, its fur now bruised but gilded. The Austrasian Goat is Julien Louvet, who has expertly mastered most of our latest releases, channeling his music from Metz, capital of Austrasia.

Gli Intoccabili
2xLP Transparent Magenta 180gr + CD | Limited Numbered Edition of 500 copies. April 1969.

The cast reads like an inventory of New Hollywood royalty: John Cassavetes, fresh from Rosemary's Baby, a…
Sabata - Ehi amico... c'è Sabata, Hai Chiuso! (LP, Transparent Red + CD)
Limited edition numbered to 500 copies. Transparent red vinyl format / 180 grams + CD. Lee Van Cleef had already defined the archetype twice over: once as the cold-eyed Angel Eyes in The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, once as the elegant Colonel Mortimer in For a Few Dollars More. But Gianfranco Parolini saw something else in that gaunt, reptilian face. Not a villain. Not a gentleman bounty hunter. Something slipperier. A con man with a rifle. A blackmailer in black. A gunfighter who'd rather outsm…
