Arnold Mathes is a self-taught synthesist from Brooklyn-USA whose work was once characterized by Music Technology as "ambient music for experimental synth freaks." He ranks among the most prolific of the decade, self-releasing over 35 cassettes in the '80s, and "Mathes 1986-89" is a collection of best tracks taken from them.

*200 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* 'Our ERR REC Library collection has finally returned for the third edition! After dwelling in Urban Spaces (Vol.1) and discovering Science & Technology (Vol.2), we have the pleasure of announcing ERR REC Library Vol. 3-Wild Life/Vie sauvage. This time around we have decided to turn our attention towards all things natural—the great green beyond, wild animals in their natural habitat, the bio-diversity that we (humans, mostly) plunder relentles…

*Gimmix cover. Exact reproduction (!) of original cover sleeve with 4 sided cover sided insert sheet* The record company came up with the idea to have the second album recorded in the Apple Studios In London, instead of in a crummy German studio. At the beginning of April 1972 Eulenspygel went to London by train with their string instruments to start the recordings. lntercord had booked the band for only five days in the studio: for the German and English (TRASH on Long Hair LHC 277) versions of…

Raising Earthly Spirits is dark electro-tribal minimalism from Robin Storey (aka Rapoon). He builds organic atmospheres from low drones. The music is beatless, but there is a definite rhythm. Storey's drones create the rhythm and set the pace. Experimental sounds create auras of intrigue and mystery. The sound design is intricate and detached; the dark soundscapes are sinister with overtones of an evil existence. This is not a disc for listening alone in the dark.

*First ever vinyl reissue* 'The Nanai people have their songs and instruments. Some of them were used by composer Alexander Lavrov and singer Kola Beldy who is of Nanian descent in their music on this, Kola Beldy’s fourth album. Just as all his records from the 1980s, this is extremely rare and originals in good shape can cost a small fortune. Just in case they ever turn up somewhere outside the vast Russian country. Now for the very outstanding music that as mentiond above is based on centuries…

*2022 black vinyl repress with insert* In 1991 Coil released the third of their early classic full-length albums "Love's Secret Domain", seemingly casting aside the gloom and funereal beauty of its predecessors in favour of a painstakingly multi-layered hallucinogenic electronic beast, which unlike some of their fellow ex-industrial contemporaries' releases of the time wasn't an attempt at easy accessibility or (the-gods-forbid) danceability, but a vibrating psychedelic masterpiece unrivalled in…

*In process of stocking* What would you do if a never before released jazz funk album from 70s Yugoslavia had dropped suddenly into your arms? An album which sounds like a crate diggers holy grail!? Album full of heavy drum breaks, repetitive bass grooves, superb sax solos and world class jazz arrangements finely intertwined with Yugoslavian folk music elements?! – “Press it!” ~ That’s what we said always striving to present the future of unheard sound of Yugoslavia! With the help from Mr. Cosmi…

Norwegian folk collective Völvur team up with Scotland's very own Alasdair Roberts for an album combining traditional and modern songs in both groups' native languages – to powerful effect.

*2022 stock* Sapropelic Pycnic is the world debut of music presented under the name of "Ka Baird." While this record is a commencement of many sorts, it is in no way a mere beginning: Ka is one of the founding members of experimental psychlings Spires That In the Sunset Rise. Formed in 2001 out of the Chicago scene, and described by late guitar legend Jack Rose as a "female Sun City Girls," Spires' sisterhood of sound deepened the New Folk slant with an array of avant- and world-flavored directi…

Soon celebrating 20 years as a duo, on Ismalfa J/L Duo team up with Brooklyn-based composer/musician Adrian Knight and vocalist/lyricist Frew Elfineh Taha (also known under the moniker Black Fist).

*In process of stocking* "This is the first release in a series of albums on Smalltown Supersound with Norwegian freeform pianist Anja Lauvdal. On All My Clothes, Lauvdal teams up with her friend, the reclusive and now retired(?) Norwegian drummer Joakim Heibø for a session in the great tradition of piano and drums at Flerbruket Studios, Hemnes outside of Oslo. Anja (born 1987) is from the small town of Flekkefjord in the south of Norway (where Smalltown Supersound was founded) and from the age …

*In process of stocking* Imagine waking up and discovering everyone you thought you knew was someone else all along, and they have all deceived you and stabbed you in the back. The world now begins to melt around you and you start to convince yourself that it's still a dream, but in reality your life has become a living nightmare. You are now standing by yourself, alone, looking out over the nothing that was once your home town. The only place to run and hide is inside your own mind. So you make…

* 50th-anniversary reissue, 2LP on red vinyl * Originally recorded in 1971 at Abbey Road studios in just a few hours, 'Live!' is a collaboration between good friends former Cream drummer Ginger Baker and Nigerian multi-instrumentalist and Afrobeat pioneer Fela Ransome-Kuti and his band The Africa 70.  Featuring a live audience of 150 people who crammed into the studio with them, this is not only a piece of history with some of the most accomplished musicianship you'll ever hear, it's also a real…

For those who have followed this project over the years, at this point you are either fully on board or perhaps you've abandoned ship. This is not the type of project you occasionally dabble with, it's a multi-verse of escapism for the fanatically obsessed. It's not just about the sound either...all of the myriad themes and imagery as well as the sound source origins are equally important to the entirety of the whole experience. This is elevated art with concealed benefits earned by means of cul…

* Limited Edition clear red vinyl. Audio remastered from original tapes. * “Una pistola per Ringo” and “Il ritorno di Ringo” are two movies from 1965 that belong to the ‘spaghetti western’ genre, directed by Duccio Tessari and starring Giuliano Gemma as the main character. The two movies, not actually having much more in common besides their title and protagonist, were filmed in a very short time, thanks to the huge success of the first ‘chapter’.  The soundtracks of both movies, by Ennio Morric…

Sixty minutes of crunching HNW by Fleshlicker, originally available as a self-released cassette back in Spring of 2021 with only 10 copies made...now available again as an extended reissue including updated art/layout as well as a remix by The Rita.

*In process of stocking* Touch Starved is the solo moniker of Finnish musician Juuso Suomela (I use the word musician literally, as he is a very skilled drummer in several killer bands)...but with this project he has the freedom to explore and express his individual shadow on a much deeper internal level. It is a masterfully crafted combination of blown out tape noise, feedback loops, junk metal, ambient field recordings and distraught vocals that as a whole sort of brings to mind early 2000s Pr…

*In process of stocking* Similar to AAD, Norwegian duo Maranata started out with an active run in the mid-2000s (with releases on Lasse Marhaug's Pica Disc & TWR imprints for example) and then they sort of disappeared for awhile...only to emerge again just this year, arriving in style with the great "Dry Lungs" tape on New Forces and an upcoming full length CD on White Centipede Noise...and while being associated with all of the aforementioned labels should be enough to spark your interest, Mara…

*In process of stocking* Rien is a project by J.S.H. operating since 2016. Static minimalism dialed in to highly concentrated texture studies with no regard for a theme or message of any sort...just an intent focus on reducing abrasive sound to the absolute bare bones.

*In process of stocking* Two hours of delicately tuned crackle and hiss from this anonymous Andy Warhol admirer. Source sounds are taken from said artist interviews discussing the portraits referred to in the track titles. The dialogue is then processed beyond recognition and recorded straight to tape. Old and new. Familiar but different. A copy of a copy of a copy... I like to imagine Andy would totally approve of this project, seeing as he was super into taking other peoples work and transform…

An important historical document and essential nineties Japanese Harsh Noise relic originally released on cassette by Old Europa Cafe in 1995. This long out of print and sought after material is finally available to the public once again, newly remastered from the original DAT recording (which Mr. Mikawa had to graciously dig for) complete with a layout design true to the simplicity and color scheme of the original. One of the most overlooked Incapacitants releases, which is puzzling to me becau…

This publication collects all three issues of the journal into a single volume.More than…

As a traveler-without-age, Damo Suzuki has been touring all over space-time. Presenting the light of “instant composing” to new generations, he refers to his makeshift collaborators as sound-carriers. Exactly fifty years after the release of the profoundly iconic Ege Bamyası, we can hear his voice on yet another fantastic album, as in “derived from fantasy.” Manifested from the meeting with Spiritczualic Enhancement Center -- an eight-piece group of self-proclaimed disciples from the CAN Univers…

* Red Vinyl. Housed in gatefold sleeve. Deluxe Edition * Wampyr  is the title of the Italian version of George A. Romero’s movie directed in 1976, "Martin", curated by Dario Argento and edited by Piero Bozza. A very different adaptation from the original film, which was then 'overshadowed' by the success of "Dawn of the Dead / Zombi" and that only in recent years has been appropriately re-evaluated.For the Italian version of “Martin”, as well as for “Dawn of the Dead / Zombi”, the music of Gobli…

Flower Meg was a sexy dream pop icon of 70’s Japan fascinating the whole East first in late night television broadcasts, then as a model, actress and muse of Kaneto Shindō, and singer. The name Flower Meg means Flower of Meguro (the Tokyo district it came from). He begins by acting in the theater and with dance; then, still very young, in 1970 she made her appearance in the Go-Go Club show "Space Capsule" where she captured the attention of a well-known director who hired her as cover girl of th…

*100 copies limited edition* 'There are many things that go unsaid of true artistry. The building of a craft for the sake of self-betterment, and to more deeply explore that which makes us who we are, and perhaps even better defines the things we feel we need to say or have left unspoken. One cannot think of a better example of true artistry than the works of Kaily Moon Schenker & Nick Keeling. Two artists that continually strive for the most sincere, deepest explorations of sound and human expr…

*In process of stocking* Since 1998, American producer puppy38 has been recording under the project name hiroshimabend. With a range varying from found sounds, field recordings and industrial rhythms to long, dark drones and ambient/avant-noise, listening to the music of hiroshimabend has been likened to the experience of swimming in a milky lake of black ink. Over the course of 19 years based in Austin, Texas, to the last few years residing in Vienna, Austria, hiroshimabend has released a signi…

*In process of stocking* Hardy Fox used to be composer for The Residents. He left the group when he didn't feel fit enough for touring and when he turned 70. Since then, he has released many albums under the name Charles Bobuck, switching to his real name Hardy Fox when his albums became more personal. The first, self-titled and also known under the name Heart, is a study of the young Hardy Fox, an album about Love. The second, Nachtzug is about his last days touring with The Residents. It was f…
