"Second in the trilogy of Drift albums released on SlaughterProductions, The Beyond takes on a minimal yet darker approach, sheding the dense cavernous aspect of the preceding album, Exile. Replaced, is a more introspective Autumnal Dark Ambient style, which will become Drift's trademark on following releases. However, Gabrielle Giuliani never abandons the isolationist atmosphere he previously established. The result is a masterwork in Ambient Industrial Noise.
Winds howl, rain soaked leaves ar…
"On Earthquake, the third and final cassette released on Slaughter Productions, Drift takes on a slightly different angle to the previous two cassettes. Where as The Beyond and Exile were firmly planted in pitch black ambient territory, the desolation on Earthquake is Saharan. Bright, Sirocco, and sun scorched. Afterall, who said Dark Ambient needs to be cold? In a sense, the listener is transported to an abandoned archaeogical dig while faint middle eastern tones waver in and out of the surfac…
On Clandestine Anticipation, Krisma leave Italo-disco behind for a humid, video‑age dystopia, nine songs where synthetic funk, proto‑industrial atmosphere, and tropical mirages collide into one of the strangest Italian pop artefacts of the early 80s.
2026 stock. Very last copies around. Long understood as the realm of advanced composition, plumbed only by a small handful of adventurous listeners, the spirit which began the history of tape music and musique concrète, is too often overshadowed and lost. This incredible movement, kick-started by Halim El-Dabh, Pierre Schaeffer, and Pierre Henry, shortly after magnetic tape became widely available following the Second World War, was quickly adopted by many of the most noted composers of the day,…
Caught at the exact moment the young trumpeter steps fully into his own. Recorded July 2, 1962, at Rudy Van Gelder's studio, released in 1963 on Impulse!, this is Hubbard with technique to burn but warmth to match - every line sculpted, every phrase rhythmically alive. Around him a ridiculous cast: John Gilmore (yes, the Sun Ra tenor man) shadowing Hubbard's lines with that crooked, unmistakable tone, Curtis Fuller and Tommy Flanagan filling out the harmony, Art Davis and Louis Hayes locking dow…
Created by correspondence between Christchurch and London, Nebular pairs Roy Montgomery's decaying post-rock, folk and drone guitar with Martha Skye Murphy's wordless, glossolalic voice. Stems traded by email at nocturnal hours, raw emotion launched into a time capsule for the stars.
Harold Ousley’s The Kid! is a superb example of early-1970s soul-jazz and jazz-funk, putting the spotlight on the saxophonist’s distinctive tone and commanding presence. From the first notes, the album radiates energy and character, marrying dynamic phrasing with a deeply confident sense of swing.
The record thrives on infectious grooves, a tightly locked rhythm section, and spirited improvisation that keeps the music moving at every turn. Seamlessly blending the worlds of jazz, funk, and soul, …
In the years after independence, Tunisia made an unlikely bet: tourism. Beach resorts rose along the coast, each one trying to outshine the next, and each one needing a band to entertain their guests. A whole generation of musicians grew up on those hotel stages - sharing bills with James Brown, Claude François and the Mingus Dynasty - and what came out of it was a small revolution. Funk played on Tunisian instruments. Disco with an oud in it. Reggae carried back from the island of Kerkennah. A …
French composer Sylvain Bombled aka Mayerling is back on HITD with ‘Finis Terrae’, marking the project's first album in 8 years. In the winter of 2025, the musician came up with these five pieces while in solitary retreat on the northern coast of Ouessant, the westernmost island of metropolitan France. The rough weather, the awe-inspiring beauty of the surroundings and the majestic grandeur of the natural elements play a pivotal role in each composition, allowing Mayerling to delve into his inne…
*300 copies limited edition* Anybody paying attention to what’s been happening at Lumberton Trading Company during recent months should have noticed that Modelbau had a collaborative CD with Bass Communion released in late March. Meshing abstract electronics with ambient textures, field recordings and a more electroacoustic setting, 'Analysis Reveals Nothing of Substance' brought together the minds of Frans de Waard and Steven Wilson into a space that proved their own slightly different takes on…
Princess Mononoke (1997) is set in a mythic late-medieval Japan of iron foundries and forest gods. The young prince Ashitaka, cursed while killing a boar god maddened by hatred, travels west and finds himself caught between the people stripping the forest and the wolf-raised girl San who defends it, a story Hayao Miyazaki refuses to resolve into simple sides. Joe Hisaishi's music met that scale with his grandest and grimmest writing for Miyazaki to that point.
The film score, recorded with the T…
Moses Yoofee Trio, the Berlin group of pianist Moses Yoofee, drummer Noah Fürbringer and bassist Roman Klobe, came up through clips of their jams posted online, which drew a following and led to the 2023 mini-album Ocean on LEITER and a German Jazz Prize for live act of the year. Their 2025 debut album proper, MYT, expanded the improvised concept with fuller arrangements, landed on year-end lists and a German Jazz Award nomination, and sent them touring through Asia, the US and Europe.
Chasing L…
Sharper Than A Needle unfolds as a sound space where textile machines transform into instruments. Silky basslines, delicate thread-like melodies, and a pulsating sewing machine synthesizer reveal surprising new tonal colors between noise, sound art, and experimental pop, as every movement of needles and every turn of spools takes on musical meaning. The project was initiated by Stephanie Müller and Klaus Erika Dietl, known for work such as Sewicide and beißpony, and for the international collect…
“If stained glass windows could sing they would sound like Josephine Foster, and her interpretations of the songs of Víctor Herrero are as artful and finely detailed as motes of dust falling through shafts of light in the libraries of your childhood, engrossing in their restraint. Josephine's naked voice an echoing truth in repose against the existential question mark of Víctor’s guitar. In a world that can feel bewildering and relentless, this music is shelter. Adormidera is the sound of a hypn…
Futuro Ancestrale, the ensemble around saxophonist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist Giuseppe Doronzo, was born from the idea to combine contemporary improvisation and non-western music traditions. In Elsewhen, electronics play a central role along with ancestral instruments borrowed from Chinese, Albanian or Chadian traditions. Doronzo's concept of convoking those sounds and cultures in the same musical space is a way to celebrate, and to create a vibrant dialogue between histories.
Library of the Occult gathers, on a single 12", the two remixes that close Magick Knives' debut album: Justin Robertson and Hawksmoor each taking the desert band into a different shade of after-dark.
On Long Live Brown Wimpenny, Brown Wimpenny turn the folk revival into a street‑level commons: an 11‑piece, multi‑city collective collapsing the gap between stage and floor with roaring, communal takes on songs that belong to everyone and no one.
John Paul Bohon's Terlingua is teeming with electronic life, a record that quite literally synthesizes the veteran musician and engineer's tactile approach to sound and has resulted in a mind-expanding work possessing impossible warmth. Terlingua is equally reminiscent of the languid, electronics-focused psych of legendary forebears like Cluster and Can alongside the ecstatic sprawl of contemporaries like Bitchin Bajas and Kaitlin Aurelia Smith. Bohon constructs entire worlds on these seven trac…
Lero Lero is a collective of artists gathered around a shared core: the Sicilian Sound Archive of the twentieth century. The melodies it preserves, remnants of a magical world now almost entirely lost, are revived with a critical spirit and a contemporary sensibility. It is an act of reclaiming, reworking, and giving back to the community a heritage that has long remained suspended in time.
In the voices of farmers, shepherds, and washerwomen, in songs of indignation and in lullabies, one can gl…
300 copies only. 2xLP Picture. Very, very broadly speaking, there are two kinds of Nurse With Wound albums: the sprawling, immersive, evolving drone-type recordings - think Soliloquy for Lilith, Salt Marie Celeste - and the wild, surreal freak-outs. A Sucked Orange is a prime example of the latter. Originally released by United Dairies at the end of the 1980s, A Sucked Orange has long been out of print, especially on vinyl. Infinite Fog is beyond happy to bring this singular work back as a 2LP p…
