I therefore have few memories of them, if any.

Four Pieces
** Edition of 100 hand-numbered copies ** "I could count my visits to nightclubs on the fingers of one hand. I therefore have few memories of them, if any. Though I can’t account for the idea, I imagine that Mike’s music could be emanating from one of these clubs where I’ve not been; one that would have been deserted hours before. There, the music would have lingered on in slow-motion, repetitively. And there I would have woken up, crazed and unable to remember any recent events." - Morgan Cuine…
I've Had It up to Hear with Fish & Chips
* Edition of 300, hand-humbered + Obi * I've Had It up to Hear with Fish & Chips by Ben Ellul-Knight and Tom White is a hörspiel about 'care work' of all kinds. In part it is auto-ethnographic, as it draws on Ben's experience working as a play worker, social worker and as a volunteer with refugee and asylum-seeker support services. More personal reflections are mixed with conversations Ben had with support workers, social workers, play workers and mental health nurses to form a script. Different…
Fore Main Mizzen
* Edition of 300, hand-humbered + Obi * Fore Main Mizzen is made entirely from sound recordings taken on visits to Southend-on-Sea and Sheerness that are specifically focused on The SS Richard Montgomery, a ship that sank in the Thames estuary during World War Two. It is lying on a sandbank packed full of the high explosives it was transporting. At low tide its masts are visible from Southend and Sheerness either side of the water. The ship is corroding in the salt water and it is unknown when i…
Tenera è la Notte
Finally available the 2nd – unreleased – album by iconic Italian post-punk outfit. Born in 1979 as Sextons, in 1980 they became Rats and in 1981 they published their classic debut ’C'est Disco’. Set to release in 1982 on cult label Italian Records, the record didn’t make it due to several diatribes with the company itself. Here’s your chance to taste this precious moment in Italian wave revolution.
Leaving Hardly a Mark
Tip! ** Edition of 200 ** Leaving Hardly a Mark is the debut album of the LHAM project, behind which lie the Italians Giuseppe Verticchio (Nimh, Hall of Mirrors, Twist of Fate...) and Bruno De Angelis (Mana Erg). Cinematic and strongly evocative atmospheres are painted with the use of electronic instrumentation, guitars, bass and effects, following stylistic paths on the borderline between ambient music, moderate experimentation and subliminal "World" veins. Delicate sound watercolours, moments …
Deck Brush
It’s all in a haze… Time and life has happened and memories fade. These recordings were made in 1991 and 1992 when we were proudly surfing our mid teens and spending enormous amounts of time in the studio. Every weekend was spent upstairs at Zwarre’s house with analogue synths, VHS sessions watching splatter movies and Psychic TV’s ”8Transmissions8”, going through the Paul Kelday and Sound of Pig cassettes, reading zines to find out more about bands and labels operating the experimental music wo…
Cheap Opera #1 "Répétitions" DW30 "Loops for Klaus Schulze"
In 2015 Bernhard Lang was approached by Sebastian Berweck, to compose a piece for his Berlin-based Synthesizer-trio Lange // Berweck // Lorenz.Considering his musical background and his roots, Lang saw this offer as double opportunity, one of them being a chance to compose an ultimate tribute to one of his musical heroes, electronic pioneer, Klaus Schulze. On the other side, Cheap Opera #1 „répétitions“ turned out as Lang's most political piece to day: his mercilles comment on fake patriotism...…
Island Gardens (BOX : 2 Dvd + Book + Inserts)
* Limited Edition of 75 numbered copies. * This release is dedicated to the video works of Mike Cooper, a cosmopolitan figure of which musically it seems superfluous to say. From bluesman of the first hour, to improviser/ experimenter of the European (and not) more interesting scene, to proponent of a sort of experimental exotica that has become, over time, his trademark. But, instead of the well-known and represented musician and sound artist, this publication offers, in two DVDs for almost 3 …
Interialcell
Aleksandra Gryka is undoubtedly one of the most enigmatic and fascinating figures of the young generation of Polish composers. She does not comment on her works, does not give interviews, and does not provide critics with an insight into her scores (which even causes the occasional international scandal). She is also mysterious in her music: her works are like planets with their own atmosphere and laws. The narrative is usually torn, fragmentary and always incom plete, it leaves the listener uns…
Issue 53: Berlin After Bowie - From Lodger to the Fall of The Wall (Magazine + 7")
When is a Berlin album not a Berlin album? When it’s ‘Lodger’ by David Bowie. When we talk about Bowie’s Berlin trilogy, what we really mean is ‘Low’ and ‘Heroes’ and, erm, the other one… ‘Lodger’ was the afterthought, the wobbly third wheel, a series of “planned accidents” stitched together into an album.
Issue 62: The Out of This World Story of Joe Meek ( Magazine + 7")
This eidtion of Electronic Sound main feature tells the astonishing story of Joe Meek, the king of space age pop and one of the most extraordinary characters in British music history.

Shade
Liz Harris's 12th album is a heart-melting anthology of songs written over the last 15 years. A mixture of 'Dragging A Dead Deer...' emotional rawness and 'AIA' -style tape-dubbed sonic fog, it's a timely reminder of why she's one of the crucial underground voices of the era. When Harris's early Grouper material began to emerge thru the cracks in the wall of wyrd folk CDRs and hand-made cassette tapes, we could already sense it was something different. There was a bare quality to it that set it…
Companion
* Full Tone Cover Artwork, incl. printed Inner Sleeve * The Lost follows and expands on Otto A Totland's intimate debut solo piano album Pinô from 2014. Once again several days were spent in Nils Frahm's legendary Durton studio to lay down both composed and improvised pieces of quiet beauty. While mostly residing in a small Norwegian coastal town, Otto has been trying to escape the constant movement towards fast paced, polluted lives, where it seems like sounds and impressions never stop. The Lo…

سایه [sāje]
* 300 copies * Oliver Doerell and Jawad Salkhordeh find themselves merging eastern and western sound in an absolutely absorbing record of electronic music dipped in Persian traditions. They create a sound with textures, rhythms, distortions, altered frequencies, voice insertions and blends reality and mysticism into a unique soundscape. The sonorities transpose a nostalgia for a world that never existed, a place where the two musicians find home. Oliver Doerell was born in Brussels, Belgium in …
Of Feathers And Bones
* In process of stocking * KRAAK is proud to present the latest musical outing by one of Rotterdam’s most illustrious pairings in recent history. Marijn Verbiesen (Red Brut) and Michiel Klein (Lewsberg) musically reunite outside of their Sweat Tongue capacity in order to orchestrate a glimmering symphony of dreams-as-sounds in Of Feathers and Bones, their first full-length album as Goldblum. Poetic melodrama courses through these ten tracks, all ripe with an uncanny elegance that evokes the expe…
Nauhoi

Since early 2010s she has been active in multiple roles in the experimental ug of Helsinki, playing in bands like Olimpia Splendid and Myt…
Per Un Amico
* 500 copies, numbered edition. Remastered edition, Yellow vinyl * This is PFM's brilliant follow-up to Storia di un Minuto, and both albums are considered progressive rock classics, for good reason. The diversity, complexity, and integrity of the music here is as fine as anything produced during the early '70s from other prog rock giants such as Yes, Genesis, and King Crimson. The lyrics are in Italian and, while used sparingly, make a valuable contribution to the session's integrity. The music…
