Obsession (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Waxwork Records, in partnership with Back Lot Music, presents Obsession Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Rock Burwell. Obsession follows a hopeless romantic that finds himself getting exactly what he asked for but soon discovers that some desires come at a dark, sinister price.
“A big focus while composing Obsession was the idea of exploring the uncanny valley, finding the space where emotions get warped into something disorienting, where you’re no longer sure what’s real" Burwell notes. "C…
Vini Reilly
Tip! The Durutti Column are proud to revisit “Vini Reilly”, a release originally issued in 1989—a heartfelt homage to the legendary sound and creative imagination of Vini Reilly. The record distills atmosphere, elegance, and emotional clarity into music that feels both timeless and deeply personal.
Across “Vini Reilly,” the album captures the essence of Vini’s distinctive musical language: shimmering guitar textures, luminous melodic shapes, and a sense of space that invites the listener to slow…
Pepper Man
This 2013 debut album by South Korean bassist and composer Kim Sung-Bae is a remarkable masterpiece. Anchored by a two-horn quintet, the music blends Eastern and Middle Eastern modes with spiritual jazz, weaving a soundscape that is deeply emotional, beautiful, and profoundly moving. The overarching narrative carries an epic, cinematic scale that commands repeat listens. From the sublimely beautiful, oriental-tinged piano trio masterpiece ‘Eastern Restaurant’ to the spellbinding Middle Eastern m…
Hodori Rocks: Uncanny New Wave Sound From The 88 Olympic Land
The 1980s for Korea began with “Seúl, Corea,” and the promise of hosting the next Olympic Games brought a sense of hope even amid political instability. That optimism also spread to Korea’s arts and culture, including the gayo pop scene, which was recovering after the 1975 marijuana scandal and the restrictive “gayo purification movement.” A key symbol of renewal was Cho Yong-pil’s single “Short Hair” (단발머리), which felt like a sign that the 1970s were over—and that mood influenced Korean pop mus…
Puff
*300 copies limited edition* New from Ulla’s 28912 label comes a gorgeous bouquet of lowercase wonders from Justin Cantrell aka J and the Woolen Stars, part of Picnic, and the brains behind the excellent Daisart and se Dessaisir Publishing labels.
»Puff« is a glistening pool of lush refractions and music-box lullabies, featuring an array of acoustic instruments and fragile foley sounds that are gently peeled away until all we’re left with are the faded outlines of half-remembered songs.

Issue 87 (Magazine)
Audion 87 arrives like a lovingly overstuffed mixtape passed between devotees, its 44 A4 pages packed with rabbit holes for anyone who still hears “progressive” as a verb, not a museum tag. At its core sit two major anchor features. The first is a deep excavation of choice German label classics, taking April and Schneeball as portals into a republic of small imprints, marginal bands and radical self‑organisation. Rather than recycling the usual Krautrock canon, the piece digs into catalogue corn…
Hélas
On Hélas, Neoboris’s boy‑and‑girl duo turns late‑90s Bordeaux and Pau into a neon scrapbook: punk directness, wave romance, rave afterglow and variété hooks tangled in 15 songs that mourn and celebrate a love that refused to apologise.
Volume 3
On Volume 3, Secular Music Group expand to a five‑piece and turn a single 4‑track tape machine into a labyrinth: live, no‑rehearsal performances that swell from lean modal vamps into ten‑part sound worlds where library funk, holy minimalism and jazz coexist.
Muuntaja / Murtaja
On Muuntaja / Murtaja, Pan Sonic in their Vainio–Väisänen–Salo phase deliver two 1994 shockwaves of beat science: brutally reduced, system‑stressing tracks that turn the dance floor into a pressure chamber of pure voltage and rhythm.
Ethio Rock'n'Roll
On Ethio Rock'n'Roll, DJ Mitmitta stitches together police and army bands, street‑level orchestras and fuzz‑drenched combos from 70s and 80s Ethiopia and Eritrea, tracing a raw, ecstatic lineage where brass, krar and wah‑wah guitar collide.
Early Hits
On Early Hits, Juuso Paaso Tulevat Käsitteet builds a private, lo‑fi cosmos from Villa Sarkia and Vallila backrooms, folding years of solitary tracking into songs where homespun electronics, ghosted melodies and stray saxophone lines coexist like half-remembered futures.
Antologica 1977 - 1990
On Antologica 1977 - 1990, Filippo Testa emerges from the Turin electronic underground as a quietly radical miniaturist, tracing thirteen years of music where chamber instrumentation, liturgical stillness and SMET‑forged electronics converge into a lucid, introspective panorama.
Krautrocksampler (book)
Very rare third edition of the most passionate and entertaining introduction to Krautrock by the British indie rockstar first publsished by Head Heritage in 1995, signed by the author!
And the birds sang...
On And the birds sang…, Larry Stabbins revisits two of his deepest musical friendships, paring everything down to duets with Keith Tippett and Louis Moholo‑Moholo, where tenderness, ferocity and crooked song coexist in fiercely alive, small‑room intensity.
December
"I remember the first time I sat at a piano, my feet dangling over the edge. As I tested the keys, I felt a wonder and joy at the sound coming out of the instrument. I still feel that joy every time I sit at a piano. In the two drone works in this release: "December" and "Thomas," I was intrigued in the contrast of the rhythm of the hammers striking the strings with the rhythm of the swelling overtones. On "Thomas", the trumpet tones blend and contrast, sometimes revealing the piano, and sometim…
A/B
*2026 stock* Kontuur is a duo exploring improvisation in the space between acoustic and electronic music. It consists of Juri Jansen (drums) and Adriaan Severins (electronics), but is often expanded with fellow artists/musicians. Starting point of every Kontuur project is finding new ways to sample and re-sample existing audio/sounds in an (as-live-as-possible) electronic environment, mostly beginning from the acoustics of a drum kit. During a two year period (2019 - 2021) Kontuur recorded sever…
Asphere
*2026 stock* Asphere originates from the ongoing dialogue and friendship among the artists Maika Garnica, Aiko Devriendt and Thijs Paijmans, as shared experiences of time and space. The album takes Garnica’s sound objects and their visual aesthetics and sounds, as a ground for musical and audiovisual exchange. Gradually guiding us back into the now, the artists explore the subtle movements in between various spaces: those that arise from the interplay of different languages, the physical spaces …
Sing forever
An unceremonious release of some old songs strewn across the past few years, played and recorded into a lounge room in Annandale, Gadigal land. Marking a time of playing around lots with jasper (when time was easier to wrangle) and hopefully making room for new songs to come visit! we are singing forever. Sounds from budapest train, typewriter, guitars, an old fan favourite, kata, jasper, laughter.
