Across The Rocky Mountain
Jeanne Dielman present Across The Rocky Mountain, a magical collection of Kentucky's own Roscoe Holcomb. Roscoe Holcomb is one of the most legendary figures of Appalachian music and a huge influence on the '60s folk scene. Playing banjo, guitar, and singing in that beautiful high lonesome sound, this compilation spans his recordings from the late '50s and early '60s, mostly done in the "field" with a single microphone. A coal miner for most of his life, Roscoe knew the world he sang of …
Sinistri
Parachute presents a reissue of art rock unit Starfuckers' legendary Sinistri LP, remastered and pressed on vinyl for the very first time since its original release in 1994 on Underground Records. Formed in 1987, Starfuckers, an Italian avant-garde band primarily from the 1990s, were considered to be a notable part of the experimental rock scene and one of the more "out there" acts during their active tenure. Originally inspired by '80s post-Stooges noise and New York City no wave, Starfuc…
A Garden Party
** in restock now, will ship on Tuesday** This entrancing 1983 recording by the legendary Fluxus artist Joe Jones is a must-have for anyone who picked up last year's vinyl reissue of the seminal 'Solar Music At Sierksdorf' once again showcasing a gauzy and cloudy shimmering wash of faux-gamelan, hums and whirrs, tribal percussion and homemade ethnodelic fantasies.On 26 June 1983, Joe Jones set up a solar orchestra in Erik Andersch's garden in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Guests w…
Eat It (Mangiala)
A sublime bit of Morricone experimental side, all in all this is pure genius! Cinedelic Records present a reissue of Ennio Morricone's soundtrack for the 1968 film Eat It (Mangiala). Even if you find the film Eat It, a film bit too weak-willed of social satire and advertising, the first and last of director Francesco Casaretti, you cannot miss out on the soundtrack from the two-time Academy Award winner Ennio Morricone, composed during his most prolific and experimental period, available for …
Amazonia 6891: Sounds From Jungle, Natural Objects, Echo ...
CD Edition. Fantastic! This is one of the best long-lost treasure from the 80s – and it's one long composition filled with raw sounds from the jungle, natural objects and electronic treatment. The idea to evoke a deep journey in the Amazon rainforest has affected various musicians in the history of popular and experimental music, but comparing to other works this rare Amazonia 6891, released only on cassette in 1986, appears as totally original and extreme in his conception. Here, the int…
Remblandt Assemblage
Remblandt Assemblage was recorded and mixed at home in 1980 and originally released on cassette the following year on own label. For the recording of this tape Masami used wide range of instruments: tapes, prepared acoustic guitar, tabla, junk percussion, microphone, radio, egg cutter & noise. Also this is the very first Merzbow album to use tape manipulations
Only a few copies were made and distributed on cassette in 1981, but otherwise it was not widely available until being partially re…
Lend an ear, leave a word
Kye is proud to present ‘Lend an ear, leave a word’ the new LP from Glasgow’s Mark Vernon. “The pieces composed for this album combine field recordings of contemporary Lisbon with found tape recordings from the past; reel-to-reel tapes, micro-cassettes and Dictaphones collected from the Feira de Ladra market, a popular and lively flea market in the Alfarma district. Each tape recording is an audio snapshot of a specific time; a family album in sound, a musical performance, a compilation o…

If I Die Before I Wake
After three years Suzuki Junzo returns to Utech Records with If I Die Before I Wake, his fourth full-length release for the label. Junzo is joined by Ikuro Takahashi of LSD March, Kousokuya, Fushitsusha and High Rise. If I Die is a record comprised of roaring space blues and empyrean haze. Nothing less than imposing and exquisite, If I Die is conceivably Suzuki Junzo’s greatest recorded work.
Released initially on cassette, the expanded vinyl adds one unreleased track and offers the two …
Cordiox
Outstanding visionary stuff from Mexican artist Ariel Guzik – the kind of record that's a great introduction to his practice – and a sound relic from his mindbending Cordiox, a monumental stringed instrument animated by invisible magnetic forces. Cordiox is a four-meter acoustical tower, a hyper sophisticated musical instrument created by Ariel Guzik. In its depths resides a quartz cylinder, which constitutes its central acoustical axis and took up almost half of the budget of this work. Expl…
Violenza
Special red vinyl edition, limited to 100 copies only. The artistic achievement of Egisto Macchi was avant-garde not only for his immense talent and brilliance but for the quality that has managed to infuse every language he used, ranging from instrumental and symphonic music, musical theater, to library sounds more varied and articulated. Towering over all his passion and commitment, is the great inner need to break down th…

Stekene
"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, …
Clouds
More than to reward the artistic ambitions of the artist, the majority of Library records were generally functional to sonorizations and conceived for a commercial use. So the main difficulty for the artist was to demonstrate his compositional versatility that allowed the use of his songs in different contests : documentaries, spaghetti western movies, television programs and dramas, news reports. “Clouds”, fourth chapter of this new and exciting Spettro series, is a classic library release in i…
Idee 1
Masterpiece!!! If we talk about ideas, we surely talk about “Idee 1”, one of the best collaborations between Massimo Catalano and Remigio Ducros – together with “La fatica”, that will be reprinted in a while – with contributions from the amazing Daniela Casa. Daniela is one of the few women in the “Italian libraries” scene, but she’s more talented than some of her better known male colleagues. If Daniela, and so her husband Ducros, are names linked to a tiny niche of soundtracks’ lovers, Catalan…
Giornata Nera Per L'Ariete
First 200 on Black Splatter Vinyl. 180 gram audiophile vinyl LP; Gatefold sleeve + movie poster. Fourth and last reissue of this Spettro invasion and, obviously, a tribute to the greatest Italian maestro of original soundtracks, none other than Ennio Morricone himself. Giornata Nera per l’Ariete (The Fifth Cord in english) is a 1971 Italian giallo film directed by Luigi Bazzoni. The Italian title, which in its literal meaning reads “Black Day for the Ram”, in its typical figurative meaning could…
Analogie Van De Dageraad
Taller than most members of The White Sinterklaas Club or Boyd Rice, DSR Lines (or David Edren’s) stack of analogue synth beauty is finally towering over the dwarfs that roam the abandoned Smurf villages right next to Synth Niklaas! It surely is a pleasure to see him play beyond Belgium: a die-hard, and for a very long time one of the country’s best kept secrets in electronic music. Slowly expanding from throbbing analogue dreamworlds to Battiato-style joy, this record is a reissue of a c…
