Transporteur
Here is a little intro if you are not familiar with the project started in 2010 as solo side project for Cooper Crain, guitarist of Chicago Krautrock heroes Cave.

Only The Sun Is Full Of Gold
Cankun is back on Hands In The Dark (LP) and Not Not Fun (cassette) with Only The Sun Is Full Of Gold, his 3rd full length album follow-up to the brilliant and unanimously acclaimed 2013's Culture of Pink. This time, Frenchman Vincent Caylet is inviting us to a two part journey: Side A sets Cankun's new tempo, taking the listener to darker spheres compared to his previous works, moving from a tropical beach to the middle of a dense, uncanny and unpredictable jungle, where the sun never reaches. …
Maps and Mazes
After many years percolating, this third release by Ossatura documents a quite dramatic aesthetic shift – including more acoustic instruments alongside the electronic; more settled, cyclic rhythms; more harmonic concord - even a song. On occasion reminiscent of the Necks in abstract mood, these pieces offer pools of complex, grounded, shifting textures, interpenetrated by atmospheric field recordings. Immersive.
Ossatura are an Italian trio (Elio Martusciello on guitar and sampler, Fabrizio Spe…
Gnosis
"Modern/Antique" which marked his departure from the drugged-out songs and the stepping into the world of loops and beats.Less aggressive and more focused on quasi hip-hop beats, "Gnosis" is again built on raw loops of almost broken circuitry, semi-danceable beats are sometimes interrupted by more meditative and spacey moments or disturbed by stretched and unintelligible vocals.What also emerges sometimes from the numerous layers is a sense of lament, a blues for the year 3.000 maybe.
Commenti Musicali: Spaziali vol.2
This is one of the most obscure and beautiful collections of Italian library ever released.

A must have for fans of Tangerine Dream, Brian Eno, Neu!…

From rubber duck march…
The Original Recordings
Astral Industries pluck out a cult ambient peach for reissue with Chi’s The Original Recordings (1985); a heady collection of communal invocations written on a farm in Holland during the fertile early ‘80s era of new age and post-punk exploration.This is essentially the comprehensive version of The Original Recordings, compiling all tracks from their s/t tape and the later CD reissue - including both Kuhl II and Hopi - to frame their meditative, electro-acoustic wanderlust in all its dreamy effe…

Christopher Idylls
Finally available again the near-mythical 1968 Nicholson’s stunning lone album. Upon first glance, one could be forgiven for wondering which is the artist and which is the title of this album. Memphis’ Larry “Gimmer” Nicholson still remains a great unknown today, despite his having orbited the periphery of the city’s music scene since the early ‘60s, playing with artists ranging from Furry Lewis to William Eggleston and influencing a young Chris Bell (Big Star). Fusing classical and folk …

El Advenimiento Del Castillo Mujer
Discrepant present a vinyl release of Meridian Brothers's El Advenimiento Del Castillo Mujer.

Chupame El Dedo
Chupame El Dedo, from Bogota, Colombia present their self-titled album. Recorded live in the studio, Chupame El Dedo recreates the live performance by delving deeper in grind-core, speed and black metal clichés whilst marrying a tropical rhythm section made of salsa, cumbia, currulao & reggaeton. Tropical disoriented madness, stylistic dislocation and very fast drums.

"Father Slow, or Bart Sloow, also known as Bart De Paepe, is undoubtedly the first (and possibly only) Belgian citizen to have made Michael Gira blush. This is why you may have heard of him. However, despite his nickname, he is the foremost provider of psychedelic cassettes and splendid eye torture via his Sloow tapes and Sloowwax labels.For the longest while I had absolutely no clue Bart De Paepe was also the elusive author of psychedelic hits, songs that always seem to have been there, …
De Paardenmarkt
Blaastaal started 10 years ago as a moniker under which artist Bert Lezy produced a show on Radio Centraal in Antwerp, and a label releasing CDRs and cassettes. A joint endeavour with Mik Prims until 2015, and Bert’s solo collage dessert since. The radio shows and audio output both focus on collages. Their content is extracted from the news, instruction cassettes, TV shows — the oral vomit of our beloved fellow citizens clogging up the ether any given week prior to a broadcast of Blaastaa…

Following the international release of “Evening Colours” in 1976, Jacqueline Thibault (Laurence Vanay) continued to compose songs that she recorded on her multi-track Revox.

Still, Jacqueline managed to bring together the compositions for “Les Soleils de la Vie” (The Suns of Life), with the help of her perpetual musical accomplices—Serge Derrien (guitar, …
