FRKWYS Vol. 16: In a Word
**CD edition** In a Word, the sixteenth installment of the intergenerational collaboration series FRKWYS, brings together postminimalist composer Daniel Lentz with vocalist and sound artist Ian William Craig for an album that embraces erosion and the fertility of the loam left behind. A document of shared transformation, Lentz’s elegant piano figures and Craig’s trembling tenor are wilted, warbled, and looped through manipulated tape machines in a real time composition that evokes a strange warm…
Necro Box
Edition of 106 copies, in wooden box. Atrax Morgue is the brainchild of Marco Corbelli as sound project started in the early nineties and focused in various areas related to the field of psychopathology: murder, violent death, sadism, necrophilia, schizophrenia and insanity. The primary influences come from projects as Brighter Death Now and Whitehouse, pioneers of a minimal, evil and visceral electronic; and from the legendary projects Mauthausen Orchestra and The Sodality. The main manifesto …
>(decrescendo)
Japanese “noise” masters The Gerogerigegege go quiet on the super limited vinyl edition of their 2019 tape for Tokyo clothing label Cav Empt, delivered via TTT. Showcasing the flip side to their abject noise and playful cut-ups, ‘>(decrescendo)’ sees them ditch the noisy extremity for 40 minutes bathed in pastoral new age ambience and riddled with iridescent, melodic lines of thought that will probably mess with preconceptions of what they’re about (unless you’ve really delved into their catalo…

Oasis
**2021 stock. In process of stocking** Heavyweight Vinyl, Original Glued Prints on Thick Cardboard 700 gram / 2 Separated parts handily gluing, PVC Outersleeve. Originally released in tiny numbers in Israel in 1977. The fascinating thing about jazz is not so much where it came from, but where it went, how it changed and how it seemed to effortlessly mix with local styles and traditions. In some ways, it’s no surprise that jazz found a fertile home in Israel. Much has been written about the conne…
Οδός της Βόννης
Lovely release by Elisa Kühn. On one side: recording of a concert in an empty office building on Bonner Straße in Cologne. The audience stands at the windows on the first floor and looks/listens outside into a construction pit where the performance takes place. The other side: Recorded in the same pit one week later without audience. Alarmed by the voice, the neighborhood called the police.
Stock Fantasy Zone
*50 copies * Stock Fantasy Zone is a new work by Babau dedicated to the unearthly delights of unconscious reticular motion, wacky 2D shredding and daily side quests. Directly from inside the Stack, finally imagine a zone where all activities are possible but purposeless, all primary objectives are achieved without even moving and the game-logic has finally disappeared leaving back a virtual fauna of forsaken babbling Npc’s and uncharted, yet to be tested stockpiles of maps and levels. Lofty low …
No Eye Has an Equal
**Red cassette housed in a black double-flap cover featuring extended sleeve design** A "reflection on how diversity can [create] a sense of infinity”, Giulio Aldinucci's No Eye Has an Equal sees the Siena composer delving into his extensive archive of electroacoustic compositions, and presenting four radical reconceptualisations of his own material; each one a view into the deeply personal atmospheres he has created, and perfected, over a decade of composing.Opener Brezza (Perduti arsi tramont…
Walkman Jazz
Edition of 50. Each cassette is an unique piece housed in a black box. No name, no titles, no label. Only shit plastic and sound. Sammartano strikes again! Broken the ice on his last trip “Rompighiaccio Destiny”, the man returns as the only director of a doped Banda of new mutants, freaks and borderline cases that plays at its own funeral party on a ship that sails a radioactive sea towards a new promised land (that obviously doesn't exist). Non music for no future. Recorded at Gallleriapiù (B…
Apart
Slowdive’s Simon Scott is back with a new release on 12k following his collaboration with Marcus Fischer (Shape Memory) and his full-length Below Sea Level. Apart chronicles the emotions of Simon losing his father and how his environment helped process and heal.“On 3rd April 2020 my father was pronounced dead from Covid-19. 48 hours after this devastating news I walked through New Decoy, a nature reserve in the Fens, and heard the vocalisation of skylarks. Their songs rang out across the resonan…
Bangers
**Edition of 50** One night long ago, in the pre-Covid past, Richard Youngs was invited to do a DJ set, with the only instruction being that he should 'bring bangers’. However, instead of packing a record bag of floor fillers, he turned up to the party with a brand new set of his own Bangers! Four tracks of relentless home-baked beats, glitched electronics and morphed vocals finally available for your living room deep listening after a single live DJ set in 2019.
Apex
**Risograph printed j-card** As a project, Line Gate has been undergoing a slow, steady transformation, much like the longform drone works that have come to characterise it. What began as a band in 2010 and most recently surfaced as a solitary hurdy-gurdy resonance on 'Den' in 2017 has now flourished into ‘Apex’, Michal Vaľko’s latest album. 'Apex', simultaneously an album about perceiving the beauty around us, about sacredness, and a meditation on a state of timelessness and seeming non-action,…
Island of Lost Souls
Island Of Lost Souls is the first of four new albums by Roy Montgomery coming out in 2021 to commemorate Montgomery’s forty years in music. His debut release was also Flying Nun’s first, the Pin Group 7-inch from 1981. Roy Montgomery, a pioneer of the NZ underground, believes there is always new sonic terrain to investigate. His latest album for Grapefruit marks forty years of rigorous exploration in which he’s managed to navigate disparate genres, scenes, and atmospheres, always at the forefron…
Memoria Aumentada
* Edition of 80. Very last copies, in process of stocking. * Druuna Jaguar, the musical project of Portuguese sound artist Jorge Mantas, has always shifted its presentation based on the project's immediate surrounding, no matter how involved or abstract. A majority of the output by Druuna Jaguar is somewhat hard to come by, as most is released (and distributed solely from the small medieval enclave of Évora, Portugal) in rare limited editions through Mantas own experimental label, Atelier 5-7-5,…
Burn the Night / Bruciare la Notte: Original Recordings, 1983-1989
Burn the Night / Bruciare la Notte: Original Recordings, 1983–1989 is the first archival collection of music by the Italian minimalist composer Tiziano Popoli. In his music, Popoli framed the Italian avant-garde and New Wave of the 1980s through an architectural aesthetic distinctly detailed by a Yamaha DX7 synthesizer, Roland TR-909 drum machine, and early sampling technology.
Fancy
Released in 1970, Fancy is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Bobbie Gentry. A dense and inspired selection of songs, mostly covers, as vivid portraits of different female characters in American culture. The album includes highly personal renditions of songs such as Burt Bacharach's I'll Never Fall In Love Again, Leon Russell's Delta Man, James Taylor's Something in the Way He Moves and Laura Nyro's Wedding Bell Blues. A major statement from a great artist and a true American c…
The Habu
**Edition of 300 copies** Poole Music is thrilled to announce its inaugural commission, the Habu, the latest full-length from Belgium’s Lieven Martens. For the better part of two decades, Martens has been expanding his Aloha-bedecked musical vision, transitioning from the basement tape environments of his Dolphins into the Future project to the rich compositional tapestries of more recent post-exotica modernist works.
The Habu represents a true culmination of these identities in one of his most…
Dreams - Expanded Edition

This extended edition comes with 2 bonus tracks: the radio versions of "Fire Dance" and "Ferris Wheel" released as 7" single in 1969. Comes with long, exclusively written liner notes by the famous researcher and biographer Douglas Payne. Remastered by Martin Bowes at Cage Studios (UK).
Peace On You
**Deluxe Edition, Numbered. Gimmick style gatefold cover which opens in the middle** Sheathed in obscurity following its 1972 release in Italy, Peace on You – the sole long-player from Ghana’s Mack Porter–is a true outlier gem of blues, soul, and psychedelic rock. With its dramatic David Axelrod-esque arrangements and Porter’s blurry, mirage-like lines between Hendrix soul and doomy Sabbath riffs, the record exists on a plane of rarity entirely its own.... "An African artist, born in Ghana (194…
Kruos
**2021 Stock** Alex Keller and Sean O'Neill have created performances and installation pieces together since 2015. Using field recordings, vintage telephone test equipment, and magnetic oscillators, among other tools, their work addresses the agents and artifacts of change in the urban (and acoustic) realms. The resultant audio is a potent brew, seamlessly merging drone, musique concrète, phonography, and various electronic intrusions.
"Kruos" is the duo's debut release. It was developed between…
