Strange celestial road
2015 repress. Exact repro reissue on 180 gram vinyl. "The music on the record gives a strong indication of the willingness to experiment, the desire to take changes. You will hear young voices new to the test alongside the experience magnificence of Sun Ra and John Gillmore, the unsung tenor giant who has earned the praises of John Coltrane and Sonny Rollins, and if that isn't peer group recognition of the highest sort, I don't know what is. There's plenty of safe records all around you. But if …
Live
"Inspired by those classic '70s bootlegs, Al Cisneros, who besides his work with Om has been laying down the low end with Sleep since day one, wanted to capture the raw live feel of Om's 2013 European tour on vinyl. Housed in a plain white sleeve with a paste-on wraparound cover, Liveharkens back to the days when you rifled through the back bins of your local record store searching for the latest 'import' releases from Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin. We've kept that Trademark of Quality spirit with…

I
Stunning debut tape from this new italian band, Astral Brew, which comprises Riccardo Mazza from Lettera 22. The sound is akin to experimental prog and jazz rock and the seven songs on “I” are the perfect example of the qualities of this classic power trio made of electric guitar, bass and drums (and alto sax).
C05
"C05" presents an 18-minute composition, which draws from the texts and themes of Came to Call Mine, presenting a strange lattice of fragmented narration and juvenile musical vision. Came to Call Mine is an extensive full-color art book by visionary musician, artist, and writer Graham Lambkin. Playing out like a children's book for adults, Came to Call Mine features 50 hand-drawn illustrations coupled with simplistic corresponding texts. Lambkin's mischievous combination of figurative and abstr…
Ultra Primitiv
Edition of 100 copies. "Finest Gothenburg duo Heinz Hopf returns with their second LP, always on Wendy. Dan Johansson and Matthias Andresson created maybe the definitvie harsh noise record. Their noise is solid, dense, created with metal and feedback abuse, with right mix of power to experimental touch, but with a hint of pure pleasure. 40 minutes of pure harsh noise worship. If you vote for Incapacitants, grab this LP. Deluxe packaging, inner printer sleeve, printed labels, black vinyl.
Through The Imperial Family
Edition of 100 copies. One-sided LP. "Matteo Castro is one of the most active figure in noise scene. His new solo project Mercury Hall is distant for every thing he did before. Forgotten for a second his harsh noise roots, Castro delivers a long track of concrete music in honor of european artists from ’60. This is music is for sleepless nights created by ancient sounds, stolen memories and countryside silences. Deluxe packaging, inner printer sleeve, printed labels, transparent green viny…

Friction
“Friction” is a compression of the two first official tapes of Brume, “Frikture” 1985 and “Le jour du cochon” 1986/87, also including an unreleased that closes the end of side A of this vinylic reissue. A very experimental period, electro-ethnico-indus orientated because Brume went from “all analogical” to the first numeric tests, electroacoustic, to make an hybrid synthesis until today with the computer.
Unfinished Portrait Of Youth Today
For years now Hanno Leichtmann has been one of the most prolific protagonists of Berlin's electronic music scene and beyond: as experimental percussionist and electronic artist Leichtmann has released several albums under his real name, aliases such as Static and The Vulva String Quartet or in bands like Groupshow (with Jan Jelinek and Andrew Pekler) or Denseland (with David Moss and Hannes Strobl) on labels like City Centre Offices, Karaoke Kalk, M=Minimal, Dekorder and Staubgold. Leichtmann al…
Torso (I corpi presentano tracce di violenza carnale)

Guitar Solo 2015 Left
Reflecting on his studies with guitarist Masayuki Takayanagi, Otomo Yoshihide plays one of Takayanagi's favorite electric guitars, a 1963 Gibson-175, to record 6 extended and informed free improvisations, including Ornette's "Lonely Woman" and "Song for Che"."It's been a quarter-century since I broke away from my teacher, Masayuki Takayanagi. In recording this album, I used a 1963 Gibson-175 electric guitar that had been one of Takayanagi-san's favorites. The occasion that led to this guitar com…
Chamber Works
"Margriet Hoenderdos was born in 1952. She composed her first mature piece, blue time for two pianos, in 1981 while studying with Ton de Leeuw, and her last work, januari '10 for ensemble, in the year of her death. In between she wrote some fifty compositions, ranging from solo works to orchestral pieces. Within Dutch music life with its preference for grand rhetorical gestures her highly refined work remained a background presence, but a powerful one, attracting a small but dedicated following …
Moon Gas
There is a distinct possibility that this is the greatest record ever recorded before 1968. Space age bachelor pad music meets concrete music. 1963 was the recording date ! Unbelievable. Strange synths, oscillators and custom made electric guitars with help of the lowrey organ. No words can really describe this record. The jazz genre spawned a couple of quite colorful subspecies that were part of important pop cultural movements to let the ordinary man escape from the daily grind. Two…
Luna Africana
Clara Mondshine was a musical project of the late radio director, journalist, and composer Walter Bachauer, who worked for RIAS Berlin in the '70s and '80s. Mr. Bachauer was also involved as musician in projects with electronic artist Peter Michael Hamel and krautrock act Between in the '70s. With Clara Mondshine he was able to score three albums before his untimely passing in 1989; Luna Africana, originally released in 1981, is the first of these, and it fits exactly into that era, when the…
The Unexplained
Electronic impressions of the occult, reissued for the first time. The late, great Mort Garson (1924-2008) was a hotshot of electronic music's pioneering days, known for his groundbreaking occult works such as The Zodiac: Cosmic Sounds (1967) and Lucifer: Black Mass (1971). A different side of his creativity emerged in his 1976 Plantasia project (FD 5003CD/LP), an inspired album of Moog compositions to be played for growing plants. The previous year he released this hypnotizing album, which ta…

This great score for Umberto Lenzi's 1974 cult thriller Spasmo, by the maestro Ennio Morricone, creates a disorienting and disturbing effect, with unusual, almost avant-garde-like sounds, instrumentation, and composition.
