Seeds On Talk
The first full-length album of this ambient / drone project after two warmly received EPs. Enticing guitar overflows, drowsy melodies, an abundance of field recordings, analogue drone, and sound experiments, walking the waves of memory and the corridors of dreams. Guest on flute - Valera Hip. "Sometimes it happens that you walk across the field and sit yourself down to put an ear to the ground and listen... so just imagine, under the ground, but not too beep, some seeds sitting together on a rou…
News From The Garden House
Sascha returns with his third album - lighter, brighter, and more intimate than ever: After the acclaimed Seeds on Talks and Zart, German ambient composer Sascha opens a new chapter with News From The Garden House - a collection of musical sketches as airy and luminous as a summer morning. This is a continuation of the sound we've come to love from Sascha, yet here the emotional detailing feels sharper, the storytelling more present. Each composition is shorter, more eventful, and each one invit…
Zart
The second album by the German ambient composer Sascha on The Fact of Being. A year after his high reclaimed "Seeds on Talks" that has been recorded for 7 years, Sascha returns much faster. A huge evolution in sound but the same Sascha's style. The minimalistic shine of clear analog sound, the slow and transparent like an early morning. As being photographer, Sascha's music is like pictures - a static basis is always in the same place, but all moving and details are open deep inside the composit…
Scumbag
Bones returns with Scumbag, a stripped-back, lo-fi record that distills his bleak vision into its rawest form. With skeletal beats, muffled samples, and whispered delivery, he crafts a shadowy atmosphere that's equal parts haunting and hypnotic. Known for his prolific output and DIY ethos, Bones sidesteps convention once again - this is not music for the charts, but for the dead of night. Scumbag feels like a confessional mumbled into a tape recorder, full of dread, detachment, and flashes of vu…
Un Ent Los
Un Ent Los is a composition of a total of 36 electroacoustic miniatures, for which Johannes S. Sistermanns has drawn from his wide-ranging audio archive.
The material of his composed, fleeting sound moments are sounds of the numerous musical instruments he plays and their electroacoustic transformation. In addition, field recordings from the Australian outback and the soundscapes of metropolises such as Shanghai, Hong Kong or New York can be heard, as well as the diverse resonance sounds that Si…
Tepepa
On Tepepa, Ennio Morricone turns the Mexican Revolution into an operatic fever dream, braiding solemn mariachi‑tinted themes, mystical guitar‑and‑orchestra adagios and defiant song into a score where personal vengeance and collective uprising share the same melodic bloodline.
Ourang-Outang
In August 1971, the white wizards of South Africa's psychedelic rock underground shared the stage with the black witchdoctors of the Afro-jazz avant-garde. The event was the Tribal Blues concerts at Wits Great Hall, an unprecedented cross-cultural showcase of independent music hosted by the maverick 3rd Ear Music label. Ourang-Outang (2020) presents rehearsals and jams recorded by 3rd Ear director, producer and engineer David Marks in rural KwaZulu-Natal as this unlikely alliance of musical drui…
Haunted Holiday Party
Following the release of Haunted House Party, Bradley Thomas Turner was contacted by the Cryptozoological Society of New York City to create music for their museum’s holiday exhibitions. As enigmatic as they are controversial, the secretive society gave the composer free rein to create music that celebrated their profane (and, according to their critics, pseudoscientific) explorations of the darker side of yuletide folklore. The endeavour was denounced by religious groups, the scientific communi…
Underloop
After following Luke Blair's work for approaching two decades from his 2007 debut as Lukid on Actress' Werk Discs, we're humbled to present a new album on Death Is Not The End. Following relatively hot on the heels of 2023's Tilt (his first in 11 years, not counting his work with Jackson Bailey under the Rezzett guise) Underloop brings Blair's innate knack for building loops and sound structures further to the surface, while allowing his ear for emotional expression to be dialled up a notch.

Quintessence
A remarkable document finally surfaces after nearly 40 years in the NDR archives. John Taylor - the piano master of dense, orchestral voicings and skittish melodic invention - captured here in 1987 with the full NDR Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted by Dieter Glawischnig. All music written and orchestrated by Taylor himself. This is the logical conclusion of everything the man stood for musically - from Azimuth to Johnny Griffin's band to this luxurious symphonic setting. Stan Sulzmann on sopra…
The Day Of The Jackal (Music From The Motion Picture)
In the centenary year of his birth, Quartet Records unveils for the first time the complete score that Georges Delerue composed for Fred Zinnemann's masterful 1973 thriller The Day of the Jackal - a work largely unheard until now, buried beneath the weight of editorial decisions that stripped the film's second half of any musical accompaniment.
Based on Frederick Forsyth's bestselling novel, the film follows a professional assassin hired by disgruntled military veterans to eliminate President Ch…
Mimosa Pudica
Mimosa Pudica brings together two works by Luciano Maggiore, both conceived as live performances structured around the presence and behaviour of an audience. In both cases, rhythmic and formal elements arise from acts of observation and listening: eye contact, involuntary sounds, shifts of attention, hesitation, withdrawal.
Mimosa Pudica reconstructs the conditions of these works in the absence of an audience. The record operates as a displacement: a concert without spectators, a live situation…
Horizonte
On Horizonte, PSI channel the late‑’70s German fusion boom into a lean, high‑octane set where Matthias Frey’s electric keys and Volkmar Zimmermann’s manic guitar ride a phenomenal rhythm section, delivering melodically rich jazz‑rock that punches as hard as it dazzles.
Four Seasons
Four Season finds Virgo - the German fusion group that first came together as Lava in 1974 - stepping away from major‑label orbit into a more autonomous, exploratory phase, stretching their jazz‑rock language into a calmly expansive, four‑part suite tracked at Tonstudio Bauer in late 1976.
Park Of Reason
On Park of Reason, Paul Chain loosens doom metal’s grip just enough to let in air, colour and delirium, fusing obsidian riffs, reverb‑soaked keys and his unmistakable glossolalic vocals into a wandering, lysergic meditation on faith, doubt and psychic drift.
balança e paixão
xavisphone's debut for Modern Love hits with unrelenting energy; a hyper-kinetic, red-lining funk that joins dots between DJ Anderson do Paraiso’s darkside minimalism, Equiknoxx’s riddmic pressure and DJ Ramon Sucesso’s walloping delirium.
Deathgames
*150 copies limited edition* After the success of his debut 'Stealer' and the relative failure of his follow up 'The Great Tower', soon to be legendary director Mikkel Mannheimer needed a hit, eventually finding it in the now cult horror classic 'Deathgames'.
Set against the backdrop of a grimy, sleazy 1980s New York, Deathgames follows savant ex-profiler turned true crime writer Gil Wrexham, as he finds himself dug far too deep in an active case. At each turn the equally clever killer is slowly…
Time Space Existence
*60 copies limited edition* The time that flows here remains constant even though the space has changed with the time passing by. This project explores the time and existence of the imaginary space associated with the sounds and melodies. The project highlights the sounds and melodies placed between the boundary of nature and human-made, fragments of the natural - cultural aspects and takes a deconstructive approach to explore the time and space through the soundscape. The sounds and melodies ar…
Dream Flow
*80 copies limited edition* In the sleep of forms, everything bends and unravels. “Dream Flow” is a liquid threshold — a single current from the first drop to the vanishing of the self. It does not tell a dream: it lets it happen, like a thought forgetting it ever began. Raindrops arise in sinking feelings; fractures bloom where things are hollow — a recasting of indices spirals toward the vanishing, and the echo dreams itself anew.
Echoes Of A Fading Existence
*60 copies limited edition* This album is like a mirror in which disappearances and vanishing happen quietly and unobtrusively, a place where reality and fantasy intertwine and the boundary between life and death becomes an endless blur. A place where realities gradually fade away, making room for new truths, and time becomes merely an echo of what unfolds deep within existence.
