This bundle includes three albums by Amateur Hour, namely "Amateur Hour," "Framtiden Tillhör Inte Oss" and "Krökta Tankar & Brända Vanor." All these three titles are pressed in a limited run of 500 copies each. One of the most well-known names from the Gothenburg scene, Amateur Hour need no big introduction. Two very limited & very sold-out albums, 2016's Amateur Hour (FFFM) & 2019's Framtiden Tillhör Inte Oss (Happiest Place), and a handful of cassettes & 7"s later, Amateur Hour is finally back…

*Limited edition of 500 copies.* 2nd press for the second LP of indie pop meets industrial dreaming from Gothenburg heroes Amateur Hour. "It’s like two halves of the same uncomfortable feeling. The strange but true meeting of the mawkish sweetness of indie pop and the psychically damaged acting-out of industrial and noise has a long tail. Moments of heartfelt song emerging from the murk of an Xpressway cassette, the wailing debris plus cute pop of Henry’s Dress/Black Tambourine/Sunny Sundae Smil…

*2022 repress. Limited edition of 500 copies. Includes updated cover art & an insert with liner notes.* The highly sought after debut album originally released through Förlag För Fri Musik, finally reissued! One of the finest groups of the new Swedish Underground featuring Dan Johansson, Hugo Randulv, and Julia Bjernelind.

*2022 stock.* "[...] By no conventional logic should Floral Shoppe have made it beyond the deep-internet realms it emerged from. But like candy-colored mold, its power has rapidly spread while its then-teenage creator Ramona Xavier, the Portland artist now known as Vektroid, has remained an elusive figure, simultaneously a pioneer and an outlier. Her album remains one-of-a-kind in its depiction of anxiety and crisis rendered through waves of numbness that range from deeply unsettling to artifici…

A unique trio sound with a blend of acoustic instruments, voice, el. guitar and electronics. Naktes presents a world full of wonder, inspired by the atmosphere of the night. After the release of Merope 'Salos' (STRLP-051 / gran21) we decided to repress Merope's previous album Naktes too. A collaboration with Stroom & granvat. I.I tired out my feettramping dew's golden ore.I leaned on a w…

*2022 stock.* It Changes is a new album by Ailie Ormston and Tim Fraser. It incorporates samples of collaborative session material, automated MIDI instrumentation, and adhoc field recordings. Music from this album was first presented in 2019 as a larger audio-visual work which debuted at the Centre for Contemporary Arts in Glasgow as part of Counterflows festival. The recordings were then completed in 2020 during the first lockdown using voice notes, and by running a 7.5m headphone cable between…

3CD album released in eight-panel digipack, limited to 400 copies. This publication is the second Trilogy of this project, released under the banner of Zoharum. This time it collects ambient recordings, recorded in the early period of Vidna Obmana's activity, originally published on 3 different cassettes in 1989-1991: "Gathering In Frozen Beauty", "Near The Flogging Landscapes", "Refined On The Gentle Clouds", and which have never been re-issued in any other form so far. Now fully refreshed, mas…

The combination of Jorge Ben and Trio Mocotó had already produced great things when Força Bruta first appeared in 1970. Ben's self-titled album of the year before had reeled off a succession of Brazilian hits, including "País Tropical" and "Cadê Teresa," and made the four musicians very busy as a result. Força Bruta was a slightly different album, a slice of mellow samba soul that may perhaps have been the result of such a hectic schedule during 1969. One of the hidden gems in Jorge Ben's discog…

*In process of stocking.* Terrific session originally licensed on Japanese indie label Nivico in 1970. Recorded at Victor Studio, Aoyama Tokyo 11 September, the album is the essential work of four wicked minds. Saxophone player Steve Marcus has been cutting his teeth in late sixties with the Jazz Composer's Orchestra, while Miroslav Vitous was the former bass player in jazz-rock pioneers Weather Report. Sharrock is still considered one of the most original player in creative music, his guitar pl…

*Limited edition of 300 copies.* Roland Kirk was one of the most creative, extravagant figures in jazz history. A master multi instrumentalist with no boundaries in terms of language, style and technique. Here we find him co-leading a strong studio session with organ specialist "Brother" Jack Mcduff. Backed up by Joe Benjamin on bass and Art Taylor on drums, Kirk and McDuff give voice to a soulful post-bop set full of groovy riffs and highly inventive instrumental ping pong. Recorded by Rudy Van…

*Limited edition of  300 copies.* Recorded in 1961 and released on Blue Note in 1964, "It May As Well Be Spring" is often considered as an ideal companion to Quebec's famous "Heavy Soul" . Here the saxophone player displays a relaxed set of standards, including classic songs from the American repertoire such as "Willow Weep For Me", "Lover Man" and "Ol Man River". Perfect material to express his warm, lyrical tenor sax voice while Freddie Roach on organ, Milt Hinton on bass, and Al Harewood on d…

*2022 stock.* Brainwaltzeras debut LP Poly-ana follows quickly on the heels of the producers Aescoba EP also released this year via FILM. Across thirteen tracks of both previously released material and fresh excursions into the artists world, Brainwaltzera explores sounds ranging from luscious, downtempo grooves and expertly reduced braindance cuts with nods to early 90's experimental IDM to harder, more caustic outings all bound together by a recurring theme of otherworldly ambience. Taking its…

Double LP version. Released for the first time in 2009, ‘utp_’ is the third installment of Alva Noto and Ryuichi Sakamoto’s V.I.R.U.S.'s series. It was commissioned for the 400th anniversary of Mannheim, Germany. The flowing 10-section multimedia work derives its shape from a rasterized structure of the southwestern city, founded in 1608. The recording documents the work’s debut performed by Ensemble Modern at the National Theatre in Mannheim. The music embraces the electronic, piano-based palet…

Another unsung hero of the long lost british prog history, Julian Jay Savarin is a keyboard player and composer, poet and science fiction author, hence the association with the most epic and romantic tendencies of the genre. He was born in Dominica (an island between Martinique and Guadeloupe in the Caribbean) and moved to the UK in 1962. He debuted in 1970 with Julian's Treatment, a short-lived progressive rock band which his sole album – A Time Before This – soon became a sought after collecto…

*2022 stock.* Reutoff tribute compilation! For those (few) who don't know Reutoff : they are one of the more prominent and intriguing Russian post-pndustrial ambient projects. The album, celebrating the bands 16th anniversary, consists of remixes and cover versions on original Reutoff tracks, made by bands / projects / friends, whose music has always been close to the band. Most of the contributors created their tracks using original Reutoff material, some of them were just inspired by Reutoff's…

Other Minds is excited and proud to bring you a near-unheard early composition by legendary American Maverick composer Lou Harrison, Sonata for Unaccompanied Violin (1936), performed by our friend Kate Stenberg. This short piece was written by the precocious composer when he was barely out of high school, still a teenager, but already a year deep into studies under Henry Cowell, studies that occurred during Cowell's stint in San Quentin State Prison.  The piece was entirely unheard from its comp…

*2022 repress.* An album such as this obviously owes a lot to the atmosphere in which it was recorded, which we can imagine was magical. We know it took place in Fromentel, Normandy, in a farm converted into a studio by the producer Jacques Denjean, known for his work with Dionne Warwickor Françoise Hardyas well as having been a member of the Double Six. It was also at Fromentel, that Denjean would record two fantastic albums with Albert Marcoeur. When Emmanuelle Parrenin followed in his footste…

It was some line up, even for the most open-minded: Emmanuelle Parrenin and her musicians, in 1981, opening for the Clash in Paris, at the Zénith! Unsurprisingly, the crowd roared the name of the English band as soon as the French musicians appeared on stage. Didier Malherbe responded with a saxophone improvisation with all the others joining in behind. If we believe the musician improvising, rather than following the cult playlist of Maison Rose, was what saved them. Created from previously unp…

*In process of stocking. Limited edition of 300 copies.* Pinkcourtesyphone is the pseudonym for the Los Angeles based minimalist Richard Chartier. Under this moniker, Chartier indulges in an emotional torpor through his hauntological compositions for forgotten dreams with an opiated grandeur and subtle application of certain nostalgic camp. Shouting At Nuance glances back to Chartier’s earliest works that were recorded onto tape, with allusions to decay as an unrecognizable reconstruction of pas…

*2022 stock. Limited edition of 500 copies.* Fourth chapter of a series that began with 2007’s “Whispers Of The Approaching Wastefulness” (Cyclic Law). A Conceptual soundtrack envisioning the evolution of a fictional story and of which will soon come a VR experience.

*2022 stock.* Two CDs at the price of one! In 2007 Voice of Eye ended their 12-year silence with 2 CD-R improvisation volumes: Emergence and Immersion.

Discover this nice killer plate of pulsing and beating, cold and doom power industrial electronics served in a complete new…

*2022 stock.* Formed by aggression and pain the aptly titled CD 'Pain Implantation' is probably a good description of the music, given the focus of the approach. Sparse and suffocating atmospheres float forth while distorted sicken tones are injected. The opening track lulls the listener into a false sense of relaxation before the distorted frequencies leap out to reek havoc on the listeners cerebral area. The music throughout the disc pounds on your skull without mercy and then slows down befor…

*2022 stock.* Long time sold out and very requested album, finally here comes the re-print. The powerful side project by Peter Andersson aka "Raison D’Etre".7 studio tracks & for the first time on digital format 3 live tracks recorded in 1998 during the Nursery Injection Festival in Stockholm. The sound is getting more harsh & powerful than on the two previous cd releases. 56 minutes of great and uncompromising power-electronics. Dark and painful sounds with few filtered voices coming from a col…

*2022 stock.* Is it really dead? : yes, this release marks the end of Stratvm Terror. But what an end! Massive sounds of drowning liquids, mechanized background noises, brain mangler soundscapes and harsh abrasive amplifications. Playing this loud will probably make you deaf, but what else is there to listen to after experiencing this. 'Aged Fractures and Dead Ends' is a vast collection of various archive material produced by the Stratvm Terror constellation Peter Andersson (Raison d'être) and T…

*2022 stock. Limited edition of 300 copies.* Old Europa Cafe is proud to announce the release “Less Traveled” by American “True Crime Electronics” icon Slogun, compiling three notable titles from his notorious discography. The full-length CD brings together two titles born out of his 2001 appearance in Mombris, Germany, “I Travel” and “How It Ends”, as well as a rare EP celebrating his April 2016 appearance at the OEC Venue Congresso Post Industriale in Bologna, Italy, “All But One”. “I Travel” …

*2022 stock.* Taking a sidestep from his earliest solo efforts into an exploration of his classical training and influences -- thus the title -- Cale on Academy creates a set of songs that probably bemused more than one listener at the time of release. The predominantly instrumental release, which finds him working with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra on two tracks, steers away from the more grotesque classical/rock fusions at the time to find an unexpectedly happy and often compelling balance …

*2022 stock.* The Fugs were the original outsider artists, releasing their first recordings on the legendary avant-garde label ESP-Disk' in the mid-1960s before signing to Reprise. Formed around the core of Ed Sanders and Tuli Kupferberg, The Fugs combined jug band music, smutty rock'n'roll, country ballads, Gregorian chants, canticles, and bohemian poetry into a stoned stew of anti-establishment freakouts! Now their first two albums for Reprise are available on vinyl for the first time since th…

*In process of stocking. 2022 stock.* The second in a series of releases by the legendary downtown pioneer Teiji Ito presents his postmodern masterpiece Tenno, blending Japanese, African, Carribean and Western musical instruments with sound effects, voice and electronics to create the most startling long form composition in his catalog.

*Limited edition of 200 copies.* Mammoth stone walls stretching high into the unknown, dank cellars stewn with bones and ashes. A chill in the lonely night wind disturbed by the utterance of arcane phrases. This is music guaranteed to at least bring about thoughts of mysticism, if it doesn't produce mystical states outright. This defines the term hauntingly beautiful.In Sadness, Silence and Solitude’, first released in 1997 by Cold Meat Industry, is the fourth fullength album of Raison d'être an…

*Limited edition of 200 copies.* "Within the Depths of Silence and Phormations takes the listener deep below the world of the ordinary into the catacombs of the subconscious, the worlds lying within us so few ever live to explore. This is music meant to stimulate the mind, to inspire one in their explorations of self and solitude.
