Aguirre Super Sale
Feral Lands & Forbidden Cities
Recorded in Brussels in 2019, Feral Lands and Forbidden Cities is Timelash's second delivery of a 4 album projected series. In their debut, A Morphology of Wonders (Aguirre Records, 2021), the duet formed by Embassador Dulgoon (Nonlocal Society, Archimboldos) and Corum (Psychic Sounds) revealed a unique musical journey that unfolds and expands like a cluster of organic matters and mechanical dialogues lit by iridescent fluorescences. Timelash's musical proposal is firmly rooted in retrofuturism,…
Orlando Furioso
Tip! With the opening phrase of “En Tornasol,” an unseen barrier melts away to reveal an alien landscape. Early European composers felt that their work reflected in its structure the divine nature of the material world. Via tuning, form, and contrapuntal alchemy, these musicians sought to illuminate and edify the complex and perfect order of existence. The music recorded here also reflects the contours of an ordered world, but it is no place any of us has ever visited. By assembling far-flung bu…
Bad Trip
Extremely rare 7" by Fifty Foot Hose band members. Bad Trip was recorded with Bob Noto on Guitar - Bob Gibson screaming and hollering and Cork Marcheschi playing bass and hitting a large card board tube with a stick. They recorded it on a two track sony in Cork's parents family room and put Bob in the bath room as a kind of sound booth. It was Cork’s way to deal with Music Concrete and he suggested that the record could be played at any speed, his love for Dadaism was fully realized in Bad Trip.…
Temidden Laaghangende Wolken
** Edition of 250 ** The Begotten is the brainchild of Jürgen De Blonde (Köhn/de portables) and Brecht Ameel (Razen), who initially performed a number of shows and released a CS under the moniker 'Kohier' - gleefully referencing the absurdity of Belgian tax systems and institutions. On their debut LP "Temidden Laaghangende Wolken" they are joined by percussionist and improv-veteran Dirk Wachtelaer (Pablo's Eye/Vanishing Pictures), who locked with De Blonde and Ameel's post-reality continuum duri…
Hedoro
** Limited edition of 300 copies. Includes an insert, download code and a UE sticker. ** Ōgon Batto is an exercise in patience; indeed, a model of restraint in these trying times. Although a fixture of the Belgian underground for over a decade (as part of the Hare Akedod label and band, the latter with DSR Lines’ David Edren), Bent Von Bent has released just two albums thus far. A scroll through ‘Browse’ reveals a series of miniature compositions — bite-size psychedelic treats, a sequence of im…
Hargawaan Por Shail
** Edition of 150 copies** With hard-to-define instruments, Varkenshond creates ritual and tribal madness in the vein of early Silvester Afang and Zero Kama.

They released a CD in 2007, the result of a series of therapeutic music sessions led by G. Karkaronga, and a cassette in 2013, a selection…
Suijin
Komodo Haunts is the psychedelic drone solo project of Ollie Tutty (aka Mt. Tjhris) from Lincolnshire, UK. With his music he explores drone structure, sonic textures, meditative zones and personal fictions through analogue and digital technologies, creating tape jams that play on human familiarity, natural ambiances, faux-exotica, mythologies, and "reality therapy." Taking inspiration from drone masters and new age wanderers, the Suijin album is all about getting into "the zone" and could be the…

Ulau Tau / Spirit of Sun
One of the most magical recordings you'll hear this year is the first LP by UK-based one-man transcendental-drone band Tuluum Shimmering.

The sound of Tuluum Shimmering is like a sort of loop-driven, timeless ethnic music without a region or a tradition. This remark…
