It's Sealed Inside The Church
*200 copies limited edition* The ultra haunting dark ambient debut from M.W. Daniels explores his long-time fascination with the paranormal. Ice cold drones, strange voices and an overwhelming atmosphere of horror. The Suspended Apparition began in the winter of 2022; the idea had long been something that its creator and composer Daniels had wanted to bring to fruition. His huge fascination with master composers Krzysztof Penderecki, György Ligeti and Edgard Varése next to outlandish English und…

Vladislav Delay Quartet
*2023 stock* Sasu Ripatti is the versatile Finnish producer behind pseudonyms such as Luomo, Sistol, Uusitalo, Conoco and Vladislav Delay. He is a breath of fresh air for obsessive diggers of electronic music, especially because he's not limited to just that.
'Vladislav Delay Quartet' is an album veiled with peculiarity given the various dance material that preceded it. It is the result of Ripatti's return to his homeland in Hailuoto, an isolated island in the Northern Ostrobothnia region of Fin…

MONOAkuma
*2023 stock* "I think the first time I heard Merzbow must have been in 1994. I was a compulsive cassette trader back then and I was sent a tape from a fanzine editor I traded with in the USA. It had two long form pieces on it that just said Merzbow//Noise. I remember at the time not really knowing what to make of it. It was effortlessly deep and aggressive, but also very emotive and almost lyrical in the way the waves of sound would erupt and decay. In those days it wasn’t so easy to discover in…
S.W.I.M
*300 copies limited edition* Icelandic musician Gunnar Jónsson Collider debuts on A Strangely Isolated Place with an expansive trip through six fictional environments, brought further to life through an accompanying video by artist Arna Beth. Inviting escapism through detailed, glacial textures, S.W.I.M. elevates a traditional beatless spectrum into a first-person narrative, moving across burning wastelands, miles-high sundown, a dizzying night sky, subterranean exploration, and more beautiful, …
Materia
The second instalment in the Titrate series marks the debut of Pagan Red. This 180g vinyl album, housed in 350gsm reverse board print packaging, contains three experimental compositions featuring subtly enveloping drone, weightless percussion and immersive tonal resonance. Field recordings interweave with the synthetic, sparse rhythms emerge and dissolve, absorbing textures layer and evaporate. Exploring the symbiosis between the natural and the nonmaterial, Materia guides listeners on a journey…
Onda
*150 copies limited edition* With "Onda", Regensburg artist Markus Guentner releases his follow-up to Empire, which appeared on A Strangely Isolated Place in 2021. "Onda" captivates with its orchestral-like progressions, an endlessly interwoven carpet of sound that spreads out over six etudes. As if in slow motion, he scans through the individual sound particles, works out details, lets dust fall from the source material, cores, connects and in the end lets everything flow...
Camouflage Body
Initially only available during John Wiese's 2022 North American tour, the latest entry in his ever-expanding catalog of 7"s is now available in wider release.
Beautiful One Day, Perfect The Next
Homespun cassette label Regional Bears moves away from its preferred format with a debut vinyl release from Philadelphia-based sound artist Christian Mirande. Previously releasing works on labels such as Hanson Records, Recital and Vatrine, his work is often characterised as textural or atmospheric and deals with themes such as memory, loss, and faith.
Beautiful One Day, Perfect The Next is a tale of two halves and employs Mirande’s trusted instrumental and compositional repertoire of magnetic …

Ephemera Box (Letters, postcards Boxset)
Reading Robert Briatte's biography of Paul Bowles, I discovered that his poems, unlike his novels and stories, had not been translated into German. I set to work, got his adress from Pociao, sent Paul Bowles my draft translations, and was invited by him in Tangier, Morocco, in the fall of 1993. In the years that followed, I visited him two or three times a year, not only working on the translation of his poems in exchange with him, but also doing a long interview with him about Gertrude Stein an…

There is also a nice diversity of groups within this larger collection. A nice trio piece called “Calm” featuring Paolo Birro sitting in with Marco Micheli and Francesco. And one called “Lotus Bl…
