Hexerei Im Zwielicht Der Finsternis
Aghast was a project by Nebelhexe and Nacht, released in 1994. This album was released back then by the legendary Cold Meat Industry. "Hexerei Im Zwielicht Der Finsternis" is the real dark and gloomy ambiance played in a classical dark wave vein. Min…
Scumbag
Bones returns with Scumbag, a stripped-back, lo-fi record that distills his bleak vision into its rawest form. With skeletal beats, muffled samples, and whispered delivery, he crafts a shadowy atmosphere that's equal parts haunting and hypnotic. Know…
Tepepa
On Tepepa, Ennio Morricone turns the Mexican Revolution into an operatic fever dream, braiding solemn mariachi‑tinted themes, mystical guitar‑and‑orchestra adagios and defiant song into a score where personal vengeance and collective uprising share t…
Ourang-Outang
In August 1971, the white wizards of South Africa's psychedelic rock underground shared the stage with the black witchdoctors of the Afro-jazz avant-garde. The event was the Tribal Blues concerts at Wits Great Hall, an unprecedented cross-cultural sh…
Quintessence
A remarkable document finally surfaces after nearly 40 years in the NDR archives. John Taylor - the piano master of dense, orchestral voicings and skittish melodic invention - captured here in 1987 with the full NDR Radio Symphony Orchestra conducted…
The Day Of The Jackal (Music From The Motion Picture)

Patterns
Hidden in a remote, forgotten corner of German library music, Peter Patzer stands as a unique figure in the landscape of 1980s functional music production. A self-taught artist and musician, Patzer founded his own personal label, Crea Music, operatin…
Compass Rises
On Compass Rises, Compass condense the grit and openness of early‑’70s upstate jazz into one privately pressed statement, an acoustic‑electric set that threads post‑Coltrane toughness, modal burn and soulful swing into a clear, straight‑ahead identit…
Horizonte
On Horizonte, PSI channel the late‑’70s German fusion boom into a lean, high‑octane set where Matthias Frey’s electric keys and Volkmar Zimmermann’s manic guitar ride a phenomenal rhythm section, delivering melodically rich jazz‑rock that punches as …
Four Seasons
Four Season finds Virgo - the German fusion group that first came together as Lava in 1974 - stepping away from major‑label orbit into a more autonomous, exploratory phase, stretching their jazz‑rock language into a calmly expansive, four‑part suite …
Park Of Reason
On Park of Reason, Paul Chain loosens doom metal’s grip just enough to let in air, colour and delirium, fusing obsidian riffs, reverb‑soaked keys and his unmistakable glossolalic vocals into a wandering, lysergic meditation on faith, doubt and psychi…
El-Hadra - The Mystik Dance
El-Hadra is more than ambient music - it’s a sonic ritual that leaves a permanent mark on the soul. This album has transformed the way many perceive sound, becoming a personal landmark for countless listeners. Originally recorded in the late 1980s, i…
Dogon A.D.
Complete sessions / expanded edition. One of the most important jazz albums of the 1970s – finally in its definitive edition. Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. is the missing link between the avant-garde and the blues, between the cotton fields and outer …
Ash (35 Anniversary Edition)
On Ash, Paul Chain strips his sound down to its smouldering core, turning slow‑burn riffs, funereal keys and desolate vocal invocations into a stark ritual of aftermath, where every chord feels like a fragment left behind by some unnamed catastrophe.
Exterminating Angel
On Exterminating Angel, Dark Day turns their minimalist electronics toward something more sinister and cinematic, fusing icy synth patterns and ritualistic rhythm into a claustrophobic séance on desire, control and self‑erasure.
Darkest Before Dawn
On Darkest Before Dawn, Dark Day strips post‑punk down to a skeletal, nocturnal pulse, turning minimal synths, deadpan melody and spectral atmosphere into a stark hymn for the final hours before collapse.
Après Coup
Blue Lake reveals his most ambitious album yet, which finds its visionary creator Jason Dungan harnessing the collective alchemy of his band, with ten spirited tracks that resonate with a powerful directness, evoking an ecological connection to the w…
