Reissues

2024 repress. "Daydream Nation was Sonic Youth's sixth full-length, their first double-LP, and their last for an indie label before signing with Geffen. Widely considered to be their watershed moment, the album catapulted them into the mainstream and proved that indie bands could enjoy wide commercial success without compromising their artistic vision. More recently, Daydream Nation has been recognized as a classic of its time: Pitchfork ranked it #1 on their '100 Greatest Albums of the 1980s'; …

The final U.S. show, a triumphant and blistering bookend to the storied career of one of the most influential bands in rock music, featuring a unique and expansive eighty-five minute set list that spans Sonic Youth’s nearly three decade catalog. Received an 8.3 Best New Reissue rating from Pitchfork.

Mega rare soundtrack to the obscure Venezuelan sexploitation film “Sobre la Hierba… Virgen” originally released in 1976 and almost impossible to find in any condition. The album includes a wide variety of music to enjoy, from thrilling psychedelic jazz-funk to spacey experimental tracks, killer drum-breaks or romantic instrumental tunes. One of the best recordings of composer and keyboard player Pablo Schneider at the peak of his career.

From deep within the Soleilmoon warehouse, and just in time for its 10 year anniversary, come the leftover/extra copies of the LPs from the “Merzbient” LP box sets, originally released in 2012.

*300 copies limited edition* Vanishing Twin is songwriter, singer and multi-instrumentalist Cathy Lucas, drummer Valentina Magaletti, bassist Susumu Mukai, synth/guitar player Phil MFU and visual artist/film maker Elliott Arndt on flute and percussion; and on this album they have made their first artistic statement for the ages. Some of its great power comes from liberation. The album was produced by Lucas in a number of non-standard, non-studio settings. ‘KRK (At Home In Strange Places)’ summon…

Originally released by Confront in 2013 on compact disc as The Complete August 15th 2001. Now freshly remixed and remastered in 2023 for release on a delux double 180g white vinyl LP set and digital. Recorded at Sound 323, London by Tim Fletcher on 15 August 2001

The work of Bolivian composer Cergio Prudencio (La Paz, 1955) is indissolubly linked to the project of the Orquesta Experimental de Instrumentos Nativos (Experimental Orchestra of Native Instruments, OEIN), which he co-founded in 1980 and of which he is the emeritus director. It constitutes one of the most challenging adventures in the music that has emerged in Bolivia and Latin America. The OEIN is the result of the incorporation of Aymara musical traditions into the realm of contemporary music…

Before they conjured demons as Black Widow, before Sacrifice would scandalize and entrance the rock world, there was Pesky Gee! and their singular statement of transformation. Released on Pye Records in 1969, Exclamation Mark captures the precise moment when British club soul dissolved into something far stranger and more wonderful. This is the sound of metamorphosis itself: a typical U.K. soul band discovering the outer limits of consciousness, letting psychedelia and progressive impulses infil…

Nephew of world-famous sitar player Ravi Shankar, Ananda made an important impact in the '70s psychedelic scene by combining Western electronics and Indian music in order to create stunning instrumental jams. The jungle safari-tinged Sá-Re-Gá Machán was released in 1981 but still maintaining a certain soundtrack feel to it, more akin to previous decade excursions. Still a magical clash of eastern and western musical dichotomy.

2024 Repress. Allchival present their second look at the music of Roger Doyle and Operating Theatre (a little known proto synth-pop act and experimental theatre group that he led.)  In reverse chronological order the second disc contains music from the United Dairies release of 1979 – ‘Rapid Eye Movements’. Experimental tape work heavily influenced by the French school of music concretists and recorded at various points during the 70s in Finland, Holland and Ireland, although it is most certainl…

A sonic time capsule from Washington D.C.’s Ethiopian expat community, Admas’ 1984 album Sons of Ethiopia is being reissued for the first time, via Frederiksberg Records

The Chi Factory's The Kallikatsou Recordings gathers material that Hanyo van Oosterom shaped over many years, drawn from a place that runs through his whole body of work. In the early eighties he lived in the small cave of the Kallikatsou, a mythical rock formation on the Greek island of Patmos, and it was there that the seeds of the Chi project (1983-1986) first took root. From the nineties through to 2006 he kept returning, season after season, gathering field recordings and refining drones, l…

** 2024 Stock ** The Art of Noise presents the 1913 Futurist manifesto “L’arte dei Rumori” as translated by Robert Filliou. Luigi Russolo calls for an infinite expansion of musical vocabulary and sensibility in coordination with that of industrial machinery—“We must enlarge and enrich more and more the domain of musical sounds”—envisioning a machine-based music that would dispense entirely with inherited forms. This publciation made the text widely available in English for the first time. Also i…

** 2024 Stock ** This collection of musical works is as visually and poetically striking as any of the Great Bears, with the individual pieces flowing together in a sprawling collage. Philip Corner’s Popular Entertainments incorporate pop music as a raw material and a motor, an ever- changing sound source with an aura of heightened energy: pulsating rhythms, dancing, and the frenzy of teenage fans. The spectacular, molten immediacy of the work—which prioritizes intense experiences of listening v…

** 2024 Stock ** The third in John Cage’s series of “Diary” essays (the other parts were published in different contexts), defined broadly as “collections of thoughts that develop out of working and being alive.” The text is formally and discursively roving: its margins, typeface, and color undergo continuous alteration by chance methods as Cage contemplates computers, Erik Satie; life on the road with Merce Cunningham; death; encounters with Mies van der Rohe, Duchamp, and Marshall McLuhan; boo…

** 2024 Stock ** This pamphlet presents scenarios for three narratively elaborate Happenings—“Mushroom” (1962), “Paper” (1964), and “Interruption” (1967)—and a key early statement, which originally accompanied the first published Happening in 1958. The essay forcefully propounds Allan Kaprow’s ideas on the practice of art as a radical form of life that perpetually reinvents itself. Originally published by Something Else Press between 1965 and 1967, the Great Bear Pamphlet series was envisioned b…

** 2024 Stock ** The centerpiece of this collection of short works by Robert Filliou is “Yes (An Action Poem),” a performance work involving an extended anatomical analysis of the “adult male poet” (originally performed in collaboration with Alison Knowles and Philip Corner). Also included are several short “plays,” a poem for Emmett Williams and Daniel Spoerri, and a performance work entitled “Five Ways to Prepare for a Space Trip,” all dated 1958-1964. Originally published by Something Else Pr…

** 2024 Stock ** The Blue Tide is a vast, multi-part work that developed out of a diary Diter Roth kept while teaching in the United States between 1964 and 1966 (which Edition Hansjörg Mayer had published in a full-color edition earlier in 1967). This publication consists of excerpts from the continuation of that work—all translated by Roth himself “from color + german into blackandwhite + english”—as well as sketches, diagrams, poetry, and assorted writing. Originally published by Something El…

BioVinyl LP. The poetry of the human voice encounters the magic of contemporary electronic musical technology. Heart, mind and spirit, conveyed by the word, are augmented and altered, enhanced and embraced, by electronic sound. “Air from Air” is a collaboration between Japanese vocalist/producer Dove and American electronic duo Georgia. This singular partnership is a collection of audio poems in which words breathed by Dove are modified and expanded, cradled and celebrated, syllable by syllable …

Waxwork Records is honored to release House also known as HAUSU, is a 1977 experimental Japanese Horror film written and directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi. The plot follows a schoolgirl traveling with her six friends to her ailing aunt’s country home where they come face to face with supernatural events as the girls are, one by one, devoured by the home. The soundtrack to HOUSE features original music by Godiego and Mickie Yoshino. The now classic soundtrack effectively lures you into a false sense …

Dark Entries flashes back to the grimy streets of New York City circa 1982 to bring us an unreleased album from cult outfit Ike Yard. Comprised of Stuart Argabright, Michael Diekmann, Kenneth Compton, and Fred Szymanski, Ike Yard sits between the sinewy proto-body music of the Neue Deutsche Welle and the shattered grooves of their No Wave peers in New York. The band’s initial run was short but blinding. They released an EP for Les Disques du Crépuscule in 1981, which was followed by their legend…

A Bla tape by this fantastic Dutch soundpoet G.J. de Rook who worked with Greta Monach, Ulises Carrion, Michael Gibbs, Bernard Heidsieck, Henry Chopin, Hans Clavin and many others - he was active as visual poet in the years 1970-1975. He was co-editor of the magazine ‘Bloknoot’ (1968-1981). In 1975-1976 he organized the exhibition ‘International Visual Poetry’ (Utrecht, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Brussels).

Sonic travelogue impressions, meditations & reflections on psychoactive experiences, projective imagination, magical speech, dance, and a sense of emergence with the maternal matrix. "A gradual arc from low key tropical travelogue into full blown fantasy exotica. 'Born Of Earth's Torments' is the most varied of the three, registering somewhere between Martin Denny and Jules Verne. Tracks such as "Body Core" bubble and fizz roots and stems of various traditional styles, as though a transistor rad…

Lucky restock ** Limited edition of 60. Comes with two inserts ** Limited to 60 copies only and released by Counter Culture Chronicle, the “Behind the Buddha's Mask” cassette is a stunning effort, largely built around the unique recordings made by Christophe Albertijn at the Middelheim Museum in May 2021. While the pandemic forced poet, writer, sarangi player and global wanderer Louise Landes Levi to reside in Japan, her voice – reciting poems from the “Behind the Buddha’s Mask” poem – was trans…

** Limited edition of 140 numbered copies ** Oversize (cm. 32x25) heavy hardcover book collecting the last four issues of Process magazine. The Process Church of the Final Judgment was the apocalyptic shadow side of the flower-powered ’60s and perhaps the most notorious cult of modern times. Hundreds of black-cloaked devotees, often wearing a satanic “Goat of Mendes” and a swastika-like mandala, swept the streets of London, New York, Boston, Chicago, New Orleans, and Toronto, selling magazines a…

** Limited edition of 140 numbered copies ** Oversize softcover book collecting the first four issues of Process magazine. The Process Church of the Final Judgment was the apocalyptic shadow side of the flower-powered ’60s and perhaps the most notorious cult of modern times.

2024 Stock. 208 pages, Paperback. Profusely illustrated book about The Process - Church of the Final Judgement, based on The Process Archives. 18 Chapters, illustrated with 140 rare photos and documents.  "Papa’s book makes good use of his extensive collection of Process memorabilia.

In doing so, Papa is able to give his readers an a…

Originally released on CD in 2009, Engaged Touches has been expanded from the original recordings for a 3LP edition, spanning 5 sides of vinyl, and a 3CD edition of the same expanded version, as well as the original single disc version. All have been remastered by Stephan Mathieu for this special limited edition.

"Saturnalia sounds like looking into a crystal ball and seeing your past, present, and future all splayed out for you to contemplate and get a little woozy over. McKeown creates a patchwork of dream sequences and woozy psychedelia that range from low key groove and floating-in-space cosmic horror. “Electronic folk horror” was how it was described to me, and I gotta say I can get on board with that description. But there’s much more happening here. Moments I’m reminded of Colin Stetson’s excellen…

Tip! Noise Matrix unleashes material from the same sessions as noisembryo and counterpart 'hole' and selected recordings from the time period. Originally released as a bonus disc on the definitive ’Noisembryo' 2xcd edition  noise matrix absolutely can’t be missed for fans of this period of noise deity Merzbow. When people ask where to start with merzbow or the entire 90’s noise movement in japan - this is an answer! Masami Akita’s surrealism of the past stands prominently relevant to this day co…

Oidupaa Vladimir Oyun was a Tuvan musician and a man with an amazing, but really heavy destiny, a man of unbending will and divine talent and the creator of a unique style of throat singing, accompanied by playing the button accordion. Researchers described Oidupaa's style as blues and emphasized the complexity of this style of performance, which requires the singer to exert a lot of tension on the vocal cords. This is the author's unique version of the deepest and most powerful type of throat s…

The complete music for cello and piano by Morton Feldman, played by cellist Stephen Marotto and pianist Marilyn Nonken, including unpublished pieces, a first recording of the 1946 Sonatina and the 89-minute Patterns in a Chromatic Field (1981).

Temporary super offer! More than a single cult, the sole album by Swedish combo Harvester was released as a sort of private press on the small Decibel Records.  A magical blend of folk and psychedelic rock, Hemåt was published in 1969. With some extra-rock elements like cello, fiddle and even spare horns, the record is a beautiful and magical ritual. The lone album by this post-International Harvester group, once again led by the academic tape-composer turned radical folkie psychedelicist Bo And…

Hospital Productions is proud to announce ‘Trick’ on 2xLP format. “Trick’ is deeply important to the Hospital history as it was the first time working with the icon Richard Ramirez in 1999. 5 tracks spread across each disc ‘Only If You Want To Fuck’ and ‘Voyage Of Tempted Flesh’. ‘Trick’ shows Ramirez at his most focused, linear, and darkest noise that only he can do. Listeners will be torn between minimalist brittle static and eerie envelope-filter delayed electronics creating a chasm of gravel…

Presented in decadent gatefold on orange/purple merge vinyl. For your autumnal listening pleasure and pain. Supreme dark ambient, ritual musique, cold soundscapes return.

** Special edition of 50 copies with signed photo **Since more than 40 years, Anne Gillis has discreetly unfolded her proper singular universe without any compromise. She playfully moves with determined restrictions, excavating contrasting forces; sensual and visceral, mechanical and organical, black and white, … She extends this personal expression in her visuals using self-portrait photos, handwritten text and her theatrical performances are equally aligned. Her music can be considered as musi…

2nd edition 200 copies + insert. Very pleased and grateful to announce this ‘Home Comfort’ reissue by Mark Glynne and Bart Zwier, originally self-released in 1980. Maybe a bit of an unexpected title to appear in the LSD catalog but my love for this album goes back to my late teenage years and has had an addictive effect since, like a spleen infused magnet.With this album Glynne and Zwier, based in the Netherlands and connected to the Ultra scene, drew an insular blend of intimate post-punk and c…

Negative Fascination expanded edition includes the extended mix 12”, unreleased demos and source outro packaged in deluxe wide spine jacket with updated art. Perhaps the single most defining Hospital release - one that cut across genres / subcultures and interloped into the wider consciousness and found commonality among the ruins. "We are the mutations of the strange attractor."

What the artist may consider the most formative years for the project and what clubbers may have heard in numerous live sets with the ‘encryption nets’ classic dub track. Despite being created over a decade ago for limited double cassette and then compiled on ‘it stands to conceal’ this is widescreen esoteric cold industrial perfectly suitable for our collapsing world. Fully remastered version and the first time on stand alone LP!
