It marked a departure into new realms. "We don't need n…
The Vinyl Coda project returns to God Records for the second chapter of the Philip Jeck masterwork, originally released in the late 90s and now freshly re-mastered for this LP re-release. Philip Jeck revolutionised the world of experimental music with his pioneering turntable collage work, with his hazy and intuitive narrative of sounds that never quite head in the direction you expect. In these sets, Jeck uses a number of turntables and prepared records to create strange soundscapes in which cr…
Exceptional recordings by Randall McClellan, a founding member of the electronic music studio at the Eastman School of Music in 1967 where he later received a Ph.D. in Composition, Theory and Musicology.

He constructed his concerts to be s…

Terminal Drive is studio recording of a mythical piece of electro-acoustic music composed and performed in 1975 by Allen Ravenstine (b. May 9, 1950 in Canton, OH) with assistance from Albert Dennis on string bass. Terminal Drive’s significance in terms of Cleveland underground music cannot be understated and has been cited as partially responsible for Ravenstine’s invitation to co-form the musical unit Pere Ubu in September 1975. Ravenstine gained recognition for his unusual and inventive synthe…

Before the time of the three movement sonata meier composed several dodecaphonic works some of which were cyclic. these were not considered for this CD, since the sonata contains structurally a replica of all that meier wrote before. the sonata coincides with the first serial sketches and visions, together with integral thinking using rows and is as…
Pulse Emitter’s Meditative Music series captures an artist’s dedication to evolution through years of traversing a myriad of textural and contemplative terrains. Active in the ambient, drone, and noise scenes of Portland, OR since the early 2000s, Pulse Emitter (the project of Daryl Groetsch) has grown fathoms since the project’s inception, from Groetsch’s humble homemade synthesizer, to his embrace of the worlds of possibility digital instruments and processing could unfold. Originally s…
Originally self-released in 1984, A Beard Of Bees has been out of print for almost 25 years. Among This Kind Of Punishment's myriad recordings, A Beard Of Bees best outlines the collective vision of the Jefferies brothers. Their classic second album feels more meticulous than its predecessor, proffering a grey, near-Mancunian influence that serves as both touchstone and springboard for the proceedings. The unique maneuvering on "Trepidation" is a marvel: guitar sweetness shifting toward melancho…
In the fertile terrain of New Zealand's 1980s post-punk scene, few figures loom as large as the Jefferies brothers. Graeme Jefferies and Peter Jefferies – the primary forces behind This Kind of Punishment – wrote some of the best music to come out on Flying Nun, Xpressway or elsewhere. A dizzying mix of pastoral ballads and DIY experimentation, TKP's songwriting was at once classic and acutely raw. On their self-titled debut, the Jefferies brothers and Chris Matthews eschew the punk-informed mod…

Aside from having attained legendary status through their own solo material, Germany's timeless Popol Vuh were instrumental in the development and cult-like status of director Werner Herzog's most respected pictures. Throughout the 70s and 80s, guided by a legendary Klaus Kinski as his main actor, Herzog and Popol Vuh were responsible for a new outlook on cinema and, importantly, on the importance of soundtracks. Through a mixture of pioneering electronics, Krautrock and komische, the ban…
‘Agape-Love’ was one of Florian Fricke's favorites, at a point in his life where he was inspired by 13th century Persian poet Rumi. Still utilizing a choir for Gregorian chant-like ethereal intensity -- though they sing in Byzantine scales – the band delves deeply into the drone world of Fricke’s sacred music muse. This is an album of many moods/feelings & is a worthy, devastatingly beautiful outing (both introspective & intense at the same time).Out of print since 1983 and never released outsid…
700 copies black vinyl. Born as Florian Fricke’s brainchild, Popol Vuh needs little introduction, the band stayed active between the late 1960s & late 1990s (until Florian’s passing in 2001). Regarded as pioneers in avant-garde German electronic music, their early works practically laid down the foundations for ‘Kosmische Muzik’ (Space Music) with the then new sounds of the Moog synthesizer joined with ethnic percussions.Later the group evolved to include all kinds of instruments (both electric …

At the centre of the U.S.A.'s fiercely experimental univer…
On translucent gold vinyl. The C.A. Quintet’s journey to Hades burned hot enough to melt the ice in their frigid Minnesota environs. A coveted collectable since the psychedelic record collecting disaster whirl first started over 30 years ago, Trip Thru Hell (1968) is rightly regarded as the epitome of local psych-cum-garage rising above its humble roots into something truly monolithic. Evolving from the local circuit into a hellish beast of keyboards, lysergic lyrics, trippy guitars and even sub…
No Way Out, the thrilling debut album by the Chocolate Watch Band, immediately finds that cosmic sweet-spot of perfect garage-rock traction: where the rubber meets the road and the train keeps a-rollin.' Nobody ever did Mick Jagger any better (even Mick, himself) than the Watch Band's frighteningly superb frontman Dave Aguilar. "Are You Gonna Be There (At The Love-In)" and "Let's Talk About Girls" are on everyone's list of Top 20 garage rock anthems of all time. And that's just the tip of the ve…
Their second, and self titled release, was by far their best effort, containing their most psychedelic and experimental material. Fever Tree's lone hit single, the haunting 1968 tribal anthem 'San Francisco Girls (Return of the Native),' perfectly captured the spirit of the psychedelic era. Although their signature hit led many to assume that they were a Bay Area band, Fever Tree actually hailed from Houston, Texas.
'San Francisco Girls' is also the centerpiece of Fever Tree's self-titled f…

Everything about this sound could not possibly add up in anybody else’s mind, but Dennis has put a new place on the map.' - Paul Major (Enjoy The Experienc…

1966's East-West, the second album from the Butterfield Blues Band and their last with lead guitarist Mike Bloomfield found the group branching out from the electric blues and adding elements of modern jazz and the music of India, most notably on the landmark title track, which paved the way for much of the musical experimentation of the late 60s."Sundazed's East-West packs a sonic punch, revealing the scorching guitars and gritty-sounding harmonica in all their ragged glory. During Bloomfi…

Truax launched his own label, Cambridge Street Records in Vancouver, 1985. Several features on ‘Sequence of Earlier Heaven’ sound f…
Given the recent spike in interest in obscure albums, it's perhaps unsurprising that Granit has chosen to license and reissue this largely unknown gem from Haiti-based duo Mushi and Lakansye, recorded in 1983... As the cover suggest this LP can be described as a meditative ramble along a tropical seafront. Dreamy and synthesizer-heavy, it offers a slick and soft-focus journey through gentle fusion jazz, wide-eyed downtempo pop, new age ambient and humid but evocative soundscapes
Aeolian Darts is a collection of playful minimal poetry by sound-thinker and garage-printer Michael Klausman. He has been an avid collector of small press chapbooks for many years, frequently posting his obscure finds on his Drifting Lament Instagram, a labyrinthine rabbit-hole of post-Fluxus poets, esoteric private press records & found art. This book is a culmination of his interests in the edges of culture, a space where mimeographed liners, mail art and handmade cassettes rub shoulder…
My Little Life is a collection of short stories by composer, musician and near draft-dodger Vito Ricci about his experiences in New York City, Mexico and Vietnam in the late 60s. An outspoken pacifist, Ricci struck a deal with the US army and ended up as a cook in a US army base, feeling more kinship with the Vietnamese staff who worked there than the American soldiers. The vernacular style of the stories give the impression of a memorable conversation with a close friend on the streets o…
2014 release. Deluxe reissue of a scarce 1982 private press LP of strange and curiously compelling bedroom electronic music infused with far out fantasies (realities?) of UFOs, synchronicities, and quantum weirdness. But who was Konrad? Crate digger Jeff Hassett of the Waxidermy blog found out when, after reviewing Evil on his site, Konrad posted a comment and revealed himself as Idaho resident Barry Konarik. As a result, this outsider masterpiece is available again in a new edition featur…
