New Arrivals
Zemsta Plutona
Felix Kubin looks a lot like an alien on the cover of this set – and sounds a fair bit like a space visitor in the music as well! The work\'s got this very cool blend of electronics and playful rhythms – served up in a style that really takes us back to some of our favorite German work of the post-punk years – particularly the music of Der Plan and Pyrolator, both of whom would be a great comparison to Kubin\'s work! The tunes are catchy and playful, but also have this undercurrent of darkness t…
Soundtrack
Sax legend Mats Gustafsson teams up with experimental artists dieb13 and Martin Siewert. There's a distinct fusion approach to the album which results in many a dissonant moment with Gustafsson's jagged sax leading the way through the shrouded clouds of machine generated mess. Despite the overall hysteria embracing the improvisations, the trio manages to create calm areas in this storming affair, and thus making a nice contrast to the ever growing turbulence.
Cherchez la femme
New studio-album by this exciting electric/acoustic ensemble, led by ken Vandermark, that bridges his musical strengths of composition, organization, and improvisation. Founded in 2011, the saxophonist drew together bassist Devin Hoff (The Resonance Ensemble), drummer Timothy Daisy (Vandermark, Sound In Action Trio, Bridge 61), and a new contributor, Christof Kurzmann (electronics). In the early 2000s, Vandermark's interest in non-jazz elements like funk and reggae developed with his Spaceways …

Neuklang Kirchenlied
German bands and solo artists bring old hymns into contemporary music. The spectrum ranges from jazz to pop, from rock and metal to acoustic art. An essential part of the concept is that text and melody are preserved. The tradition of hymns is a living one and variation has always been part of it. The remixes of this project bring more variation to it. Tracks by Arbeit, Lüül, Joni & Joni, Workshop, Die Praktikanten, A.R.S., Der Bote, Snubnose, Zeitblom feat. Hitomi Makino, Nicolas Weiser.
The fauna and flora of the Vatican City
The "fauna and flora of the Vatican City" is the 6th release of Tobias Schmitt’s pet project Suspicion Breeds Confidence. The record is a continuation and development of the eclectic and complex music presented on its predecessors: polyrhythmic beats, abstract electronica, processed field recordings and conventional instruments are blended into a homogeneous and wide-ranging elaborate result. Moments of highly structured music meet flow-of-consciousness like improvisation meet poppy melodies. Th…
Some memories of Bamboo
Kami-Katsura is a small suburban district in Kyoto, Japan. Bounded to the east by residential and light industrial areas that run up to the Hozu River, to the west it is held in check by wooded slopes and valleys where the population falls away as the altitude gently climbs. For all the movement of people and vehicles, the district exudes a certain tranquillity which is reflected in the acoustic atmospheres from before dawn until after dusk. Angus Carlyle spent three weeks over a period of two y…
Sonic Antarctica

Marine mammals and fish of Lofoten and Vesteralen
Marine Mammals and fish of Lofoten and Vesterålen’ is a collection that fits perfectly within the Gruenrekorder field recording series. The driving force behind this publication was Heike Vester, a marine biologist who in 2005 founded the organisation Ocean Sounds with the aim of encouraging a greater understanding and appreciation of marine animals. From 2005-2008, Vester recorded the sounds of species encountered by her team in Norwegian waters and presents a selection of these recordings here…

#5
The third release on Sasu Ripatti's eponymous imprint is the first on the label to come from the producer under his better known Vladislav Delay moniker, a complex, high velocity missive. It proceeds his Heisenberg collaboration with Max Loderbauer - Ripatti's partner in the MvO Trio with Moritz Von Oswald - with two tangled, forward-facing riddim attacks as detailed and daring as they are unforgiving. A-side '#5' hurtles on a double-timed meter accelerating his usually sparse aesthetic into den…
Waters above the firmament
Hugely recommended second EP from Wolf Eyes' Mike Connelly and his wife, Tara, recording together as Clay Rendering. A delicate yet uncompromising set of songs drifting somewhere between Shoegaze, Industrial, Metal and Ambient music, the tracks here recall everything from Cocteau Twins and Cranes at their most desolate to classic Sonic Youth, coloured and mis-shaped through abstract production assistance from Dominick Fernow and additional synth from Robert Beatty of Three Legged Race / Hair Pol…
