U-t-o-p-i
'Behind e-SaxBow is Florent Colautti on e-string and François Wong on electrified baritone saxophone. I have no idea what an electrified baritone saxophone is, but in none of this one can easily recognize the horn or anything with a string that is supposed to be the e-string. The latter is played using electromagnetic bows, which he pilots from his computer. The saxophone is also transformed by computer means and thus the five pieces, which last thirty minutes in total, sound like nothing even c…

Lost At Sea (40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)
"In collaboration with Nigel Cross's Shagrat label, and Glenn's own Snow Star concern, Feeding Tube is tickled to release the 40th Anniversary Deluxe edition of Glenn Phillips's first album released under his own name, Lost at Sea. Originally issued by Snow Star in '75, then licensed by Virgin in the UK, after Peel started playing it, LAS has long been a favorite of people of true refinement.

Songs Of Gold, Incandescent
Recorded in Antwerp and on location, "2010 - 2014. Songs Of Gold" are nine small portraits. Five tracks that where featured on the cassette versions PLUS four extra tracks for this vinyl version. Culled from compilations, limited run cassette releases, choreographies, and 7" singles. Some pieces were worked on for a length of time, others materialized in just about one take. All the songs are derived by an encounter with an object, a place or a person. Or by a combination of these. The ev…
Schwarzwaldfahrt
(excerpted from Peter's liner notes): "There was a time Han Bennink and I, sometimes with Fred Van Hove, would drive through the Black Forest to get to places like the jazz club in Villingen and Loerrach, to play. At the same time during the end of sixties, beginning of seventies Joachim-Ernst Berendt, chief of the SWF Radio was setting up a yearly meeting and driving through the forest Bennink and I had the idea of just going and playing in nature. We talked to Berendt about the idea an…
Ben Seretan
“I take notes from: – The cosmic awe of Alice Coltrane (and similarly Pharoah Sanders) – The unfettered squeal of Neil Young guitar solos – The bird-freedom and ear-whispering-closeness of Arthur Russell – The friendship-punk of the Minutemen – The delicious sadness of Hank Williams, Bill Callahan, and Nick Drake – The wondrous chaos of Charles Mingus’ ensembles (and how tender his ballads are) – The utter ease of James Blood Ulmer (how he just totally shreds at guitar but he’s relaxed about it …
Gold Cosmos
"This is the third album recorded by Joshua Burkett. The first, Owl Leaves Rustling, was returned to life by Spirit of Orr. Its CDR follow-up, Life Less Lost, was recently retrieved by Golden Lab. Now it is time for Gold Cosmos to once again bask in the sun. Initially released in 2001, Gold Cosmos (a title I always thought sounded like a Robbie Basho bootleg) featured performances by people like Dredd Foole, Matt Valentine, Ben Chasny, Teri Morris, PG Six, Chris Corsano, and Noah Wall, which wa…
After-Dinner
“I am very pleased that this recording is ‘seeing the light of day’ as my memories are of a very friendly and easy going meeting. There was no competition or showing off of licks but rather a general and generous sharing of the playing space by two musicians meeting for the first time. Two different approaches brought together by a common love of all things guitars.” John Russell
Le Pistole Non Discutono
“Le pistole non discutono” is a western movie directed in 1964 by Mario Caiano. Ennio Morricone has composed an orchestral score with dramatic passages with an epic main theme reprised through the score and alternated to Cantina tunes for solo guitar and a Mexican Mariachi performed by a female voice.As source, the newly mastered original 1964 mono tapes were used for this reissue. At that time no album or single were planned, so now every Ennio Morricone completist can collect and enjoy …
Maddalena
“Maddalena” is a Jugoslavian-Italian co-production directed in 1971 by Jerzy Kawalerowicz and starring Lisa Gastoni, Frank Wolff, Ivo Garrani, Paolo Gozlino and Lucia Alberti. The score by Ennio Morricone is one of the main protagonists of this motion picture, featuring the hit song “Chi mai” sung in Italian by Lisa Gastoni. Morricone has written a powerful lounge/religious-style soundtrack with psychedelic and erotic elements given by the amazing performance of Edda Dell’Orso and choir I …
Microgravity
A remastered version of Biosphere's debut albumMicrogravity with a bonus album of previously unreleased tracks. From Wikipedia: "Geir Jenssen began releasing his music as Biosphere on obscure Norwegian compilation albums. His first Biosphere releases were the 12-inch single The Fairy Tale and the album Microgravity, both of which were rejected by SSR as unmarketable. Microgravity was released in 1991 on the Norwegian label Origo Sound, and saw wider release via the R&S Records subsidiary Apollo …

Since the late 90s he has pushed the boundaries of sound and image using unorthodox cello techniques,silence and multilateral abstract visuals.

Beasts In The Garden
Beasts in the Garden is the seventh full length record by Midwest visionaries Spires That In The Sunset Rise. Since 2010, STITSR have operated primarily as a duo consisting of long time members Kathleen Baird and Taralie Peterson.

Coma
Outstanding!!! Karl Bosmann is a German post industrial electronic innovator. On this LP and Art edition release he works with a curetronic modular system ,a mopho and his Korg MS-20. The Coma theme, while stimulating an outpouring of electronic and sampled creativity, has its origins in a close friend’s post motorcycle accident coma from a few years ago. Karl describes the long drawn out process of observing the coma as both awful and yet fascinating at the same time. The album tracks show the …
Electronia
Don’t let the title fool you; this is not a record of electronic music, but of twelve tunes performed by a small instrumental combo: three guitars, drums, piano and a double bass. There is a sixth instrument: the sound recording machine, which functions electronically. By amplifying, superimposing, drawing out and reducing the sounds created by the instrumental combo, the electronic recorder imbues each piece of music, be it already well-known or an “original”, with a brand-new, highly unusual a…

BRÖ presents Mollie's in the Mood by Peter Brötzmann & Jason Adasiewicz, the label's third LP since its revival in 2003 and the sequel to the Brötzmann/Adasiewicz 2012 tour-only CD. Recorded in "you-are-there" fidelity, the LP captures a performance at Chicago's Hideout on the duo's 2012 U.S.A. tour. Brötzmann played alto and tenor saxophones, b-flat clarinet, and tárogató; Adasiewicz played vibraphone. This is what happens when the most original vibraphonist of his generation slams into …
On A Business Trip To London
On a Business Trip to London is an album of curious electronics and sissy dance conceived under the shadow of Big Ben by Vivid Extreme. Initial research carried out at Ibis City Hotel, London; purple nail polish applied in Berlin and New York City. The result is the perfect and perhaps overdue meeting of emasculated P.E., limp-wristed ornamental industrial, sickly minimal synth, and cheap suntanned trollop techno. What's more, its tinny rhythmic ringtone cycles of humiliation and debasement evin…
Crack
The Vienna-based trio's second LP following 2013's crushing debutLicht (BLACKEST 016LP), Crack finds Peter Rehberg (Editions Mego),Christina Nemec (comfortzone), and Christian Schachinger crafting a powerful alloy of extreme electroacoustic music, luminous ambience, and the mineral fundaments of rock and black metal. Opener "Spalt" immediately signals a departure from the monolithic doom of Licht, conveying instead a sense of adrenalized movement, of acceleration toward an ever-receding horizon.…
ggrreeebbaammnnuucckkaaiiooww!!
Sold out at source, few copies available. In 2013, when Daniel O'Sullivan was invited to curate the sixth installment of Ravenna, Italy's Transmissions festival, his first request was for Charlemagne Palestine, the shamanic world-maker, sacred toy emissary, and one-time student of Pandit Pran Nath associated with the New York '60s minimalist scene and known primarily for extended performances with Bösendorfer piano, cathedral organs, and falsetto voice. After Transmissions O'Sullivan invited P…
