This Old Man
Originally released on vinyl in 1975 by Dimension 5, Bruce's own label. This Re-Issue is the first time 'This Old Man' has been released on vinyl since then! Now, sounding even more brilliant than ever - all the tracks have been Re-Mastered by Kramer. Text from the Original Release: ‘Created and Totally Performed by Bruce Haack’. ‘An Electronic Musical-Poetic treat for Elementary and High School-People revealing more wonders of our Earth Ship.’ 'Most of the music on this album was programmed o…
After All Is Said And Done
Synod was a band that performed at concerts and dances, festivals, colleges, private parties, conferences and other venues from 1971 through 2013. They toured incessantly in the early years, traveling from Chicago in Illinois to New York, South Carolina, Georgia, Nebraska and seven other states. They performed at Chicagofest, Summerfest and everywhere they could find a stage. The recordings in this collection represent some of the 12 recording projects they did, primarily between 1972 and 1984.
Discipline
For years people were convinced that Shinichi Atobe was a well known artist (probably German) working incognito. Thanks to a flowery twitter feed, plus some interviews, all that distraction has been finally laid to rest. Still offering little in the way of biographical factoids, though, Atobe lets the music do the talking in typically emotively nuanced and special style on his 7th album ‘Discipline’, offering further refinements of prevailing, salient ‘90s deep house, dub techno and ambient scen…
To Cut & Shoot
On their most explicit venture into music for moving image, Miles Whittaker & Sean Canty rudely fracture piano and vocal recordings by US filmmaker-musician Kristen Pilon in a short-circuiting of style and pattern that arguably amounts to some of their best yet on DDS. Yup it’s uncanny dream-within-a-dream type gear, landing somewhere between their commissions for Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza and creeping classics by The Caretaker.
FATHM
*100 copies limited edition* "Fathm isn’t so much an album as it is a question—a pause in the middle of a conversation no one’s having, but everyone’s pretending to understand. It asks nothing of you, but demands your presence, your ear, your breath. The flute, a tender and fragile instrument, becomes almost otherworldly—like a butterfly in another dimension with teeth, or a marsh wren that screams only in windings. It speaks in fragmented thoughts, tracing edges of longing, absence, and memory.…

Meeting for the first time on record - although it sounds like they’ve been making music together forever - GRM alum Ariel Kalma brings some half a century of experience accrued deep in synth music’s most esoteric realms, to Leaving Records’ …
Oasis
Buenos Aires or any city in the world. Daniel Melingo is in a rehearsal room. The musicians accompanying him have left, exhausted. The instrumentalist musician has been playing all the instruments, which for him are extensions of his body, for hours. The piano, the drums, the guitar, the bass, the xylophone, the saxophone, the bouzouki. He conducts an orchestra made up of himself. As if he was looking for the secret formula in his laboratory where every sound - even if it is not instrumental - i…

The Data Industrial Complex II: The Mark Of The Beast
*300 copies limited edition* "Brand new TCU album! Uncompromising Power-Electronics from Oakland / USA. Those guys are real practitioners of cultural terrorism: "You better find God before God finds you..."
"Now fully ensnared in these times of Artificial Intelligence and fabricated facts supporting self-serving confirmation bias, the concepts first illuminated in 2019's Data Industrial Complex seem even more prescient and applicable today. Hence the emergence of The Data Industrial Complex II, …
Manifesting as Atrax Morgue
*300 copies limited edition* "I hate covers. I have never heard a cover version that outshines the original recording. Thus, it is a mystery why I did this. Being me it makes no sense. I have always enjoyed Marco Corbelli´s work and while all of it is not to my liking there is always something unmistakably special about it. I really got sucked in by his Mörder Machine project, but the last few years I have been listening a lot more to Atrax Morgue.
Sometimes when I was a bit out of ideas in the …
Schokolino Choco Loco
"As I sit down to pen these words for Stilluppsteypa's latest vinyl release on the enigmatic Futura Resistenza label, I find myself jumping back a year or two, reminded of the profound impact this Icelandic ensemble has had on the northern landscape of experimental arts for four decades. Emerging in the early 1990s, Stilluppsteypa began their journey as a punk-oriented band with multiple members. However, their insatiable curiosity for the unconventional soon led them to explore more abstract an…
Grimorian Tapes
"Don't be scared by death," Alice Kundalini (aka She Spread Sorrow) calmly instructs at the beginning of her collaborative Grimorian Tapes with partner Luca Sigurta. Her words slithers from her lips with a subtle, sinister unease, compounded by the unsettling quality of her whisper. The fear of death, this most profound condition, has long been a subject of philosophical, spiritual, and existential inquiry. To fear death is undeniably human; to transcend that fear is often seen as reaching a hig…

Nocturnes
10 new chunks of lo-fi instrumental library-hop - recorded in 2 days in Summer 2024, ‘Nocturnes’ is the first Ivan The Tolerable album of 2025, and the first one made solo by Heffernan since ‘Wild Nature’ in 2019.
Known for his genre-defying and boundary-pushing approach to music, Heffernan – who has spent years experimenting with various styles,instruments and production techniques – has crafted a collection of tracks that defy categorization. The new album is a sonic tapestry of atmospheric li…
Autodidact
"I recorded the bulk of this record over a weekend in January 2018, in the midst of a very minor breakdown that was to last for prettymuch the entire year. I was living in a big house all on my own, smoking too much and not really seeing any people. Happy days indeed. It was tracked in the back room of 97 Hambledon Road, Middlesbrough using two questionable microphones, a broken HH 100 amp, my friends drums and a Tascam DP08 (that wasn't to see the year out, RIP 2009-2018) When I was done, Robbi…
Wild Nature!
We are delighted to bring you our next entry from the Ivan The Tolerable archive reissue series, 2019’s ‘Wild Nature!’ Originally released on CD by Ack Ack Ack Records back in 2019, the album has now been remastered and repackaged, and will be released on super ltd edition orange wax. Here’s a bit about the album in Oli’s own words.
‘Wild Nature was originally recorded sporadically during the first half of 2019. It started life in one house, then I moved and it was finished in another. I remembe…
