People believe that the magic of Muslimgauze works best with looong tracks. Think the same? Then "Al-Zulfiquar Shaheed" is exactly for you! 75 minutes of mellow eastern-style hypnotism. Consisting of only five parts, the album shows Bryn's ability to create lengthy and detailed compositions filled with Arabic percussion, droning keyboards, vocal samples and ethereal atmospheres. A strong rhythmic, yet melodic album, that should be in the collection of every Muslimgauze fan. Definitely one of Bry…

New Repress. Low-lit, introspective, grey-scale indie from Belgian artist Milan W for Nosedrip’s indispensable Stroom label. Harnessing that tricky to articulate ‘down but not out’ aesthetic that’s so key to the Stroom label, Milan’s beautifully crafted songs seep with a strong feeling of bittersweet heartbreak, sorrow and contemplation. It’s a faultless suite of spindly / spangled indie-pop gems laced with shimmering hooks, warm flourishes of melody and endearingly accented English vocals that…

300 copies. Double LP, gatefold cover + inserts. After Juke Box (1977), between September 1978 and March 1979, the inseparable Giusto Pio and Franco Battiato committed to three pieces that should be interpreted as a single work since they both pursue and envision a sound that is independent of any form of language: Motore immobile, L’Egitto prima delle sabbie, and Rappel. Motore Immobile by Pio (completed in October 1978) was published only in 1979 to avoid interfering with the release/publicati…

Tip! This is pure machine soul, reminiscent of some forgotten Japanese animation soundtrack or a rusting Commodore 64 just about to give up the ghost. Alternating broadly sketched works with minute-long vignettes (the latter of which comprise several of the best tracks on the album), 'Music Has the Right to Children' by Boards Of Canada was easily the best electronic release of 1998. 2LP Gatefold Vinyl - 140 gram pressing cut from original metalwork. Includes Skam braille sticker and transparen…

After studying music at the Rabat Conservatoire (Morocco) he moved to Paris in 1962, where he became a student of Max Deutsch and, later, his assistant.

In 1965, he was already incorporating elements of oral tradition in his work so as to question the language…

Biiiiiiiig Tip! "It has taken me over 50 years to write these words. Since my initial successes in the 1970’s many have urged me to “release” unpublished works from the same period, pieces that featured the VCS3 synths or the amazing Serge (which I regret not having used enough) or pieces featuring soundscapes from my classic environmental composition style. For reasons of persistence and empathy, Lawrence English at Room 40 was the most persuasive; now, nearly 3 years after our agreement, a new…
Massive free-from psych from the Japanese cult band, three long tracks almost approaching 55 minutes in pure controlled chaos !

In 1972, Joyce and Nelson recorded the LP Nelson Angelo e Joyce, her only professional recording between 1971 and 1975.

The opening track stands out with its angular chord changes and pretty melody, a perfect start. They trade tunes, Joyce sings Hote…

The preceding Scott (1967), Scott 2 (1968) and Scott 3 (1969) albums had each featured a mixture of originals and covers, including several translations of Jacques Brel son…
Remastered from analogue tapes. No one could deny Scott Walker is an unpredictable artist. Once the lead singer for the Walker Brothers (famous for their string laden Sixties defining hits "Make It Easy On Yourself" and "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore") he released his first solo album Scott in 1967. Eschewing all Pop trends at the time, Walker stepped it up a notch, crooning with a nod to Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett and chansonnier Jacques Brel. A pretty bold move indeed, in a time when Pop …

Despite their Michigan roots, but with their hearts anchored in the golden age of 1970s German Krautrock, Fling ii celebrate the sound of that sensational season of experimentation. In the chords of the band dwell the typical motorik style of Neu, the percussive obsessions of Can, as much as the pulsing, hypnotic electronic textures of Cluster and Kraftwerk. The absolute protagonist of this adventure back in time is the legendary Boss Super Phaser PH-2, the dual-circuit modulation pedal that shi…
