Lacrimosa
Deeply tied to the composer’s own life, the narrative of Lacrimosa invites reflection in the face of loss. This sonic work draws inspiration from Alice Coltrane’s spiritual Eternity (1976) as well as the traditional structure of the Requiem, a mass for the dead. One of its sections, the Dies Irae, evokes Judgment Day and concludes with the Lacrimosa (literally, “full of tears”), depicting the weeping of souls in search of salvation.
In Lacrimosa, Low Jack transforms autobiographical elements int…
!?
*2025 Stock, Edition of 160* “An album without titles is a blind date with the listener, who is forced to make an extra (or lesser) effort to clearly grasp both the evident and the more hidden elements of a track, in order to form a personal perception, uncontaminated by pseudo-literary or ‘programmatic’ elements.” “!?” is an album with an unpronounceable name, made up of tracks identified only by their duration, and the two tracks shortened in the vinyl version carry the longer duration that ap…

Music To Listen To Other Tapes By
“Music To Listen To Other Tapes By” is the essential work of clip art noise and american xerox prodigy Croiners AKA James Levine, originally self-distributed as part of the 1980s cassette culture underground and often regarded as a highlight of that era.
Muzak and industrial assemblages are processed via tape loops, samplers, and an adoption of now-archaic MIDI hardware, being one of the originating noise acts to utilize the digital technology in their live performances. Said gigs were riotous, …

5980 - Patto Generazionale
* 2025 Stock *Time is a trickster on 5980 - Patto Generazionale, the latest offering from Sokushinbutsu Project. Massimo ODRZ Mascheroni and Enrico Ponzoni transmute the shimmer of late-’70s and early-’80s dance-floor forms into a suite of revisions, exquisite in their brevity and sly in their intent. Subtly retooling classic tunes like “Oh! Carol” and “Passion Flower,” the pair do not simply trade in retromania; they stage a negotiation with memory itself, unspooling Italo-gloss nostalgia as it…

La Nouvelle Européenne Et Autres Territoires Affranchis Politiquement Trash
*100 copies limited edition* « In 2025, can we still be interested in and write about the music of a band of French musicians, very “underground” who were very young at the time in the early 1970s? » writes Xavier Béal at the opening of his review of Ian Thompson's brand new book "Synths, Sax & Situationists (The French Musical Underground 1968-1978)" in the webzine Rythmes Croisés (published on October 24, 2025).
The answer is certainly yes! And although the name of Pascal Chassin is still almo…
Nature
"I have been fascinated by the sound and potential of gongs since I first heard Stockhausen's Mikrophonie 1 in the late 1960s. When I moved to Oakland in 1999 I discovered the work of Karen Stackpole, one of the few percussionists in the world specializing entirely in gongs, and attended several of her performances. I always tried to imagine how I could combine my own sonic vocabulary with her incredibly rich array, and we enthusiastically agreed to a musical meeting which somehow kept being pos…

Robin Diamond's Lungs
An act of concentration rendered explosive, Debt of Nature’s Robin Diamond’s Lungs lunges at complacency, fusing short-form assaults with caustic wit. The album is a lungful of serrated textures, stuttering rhythms, and a throughline of existential urgency, driving headlong into the contours of disillusion and revolt.
Cybernetic Defiance and Orgasm

These tracks, produced 1990-95, include a series of recordings described as "Parallel Data Sounds" and "Sound LSD", a "new language system t…

Grainy and broken singer/songwriter music, one of the major highlights so far in what is already a rather astonishing discography! "This record is an attempt on doing an album of songs. I recorded it in the first half of 2025. I played all the instruments with varying luck. It’s quite different from what I wanted it to be, mostly because of my lack of technical skills, but I’m…
