Reissues
Source Voice
Line is pleased to announce the release of the second in the LINE SEGMENTS series. Source Voice is a rich and jarring new work of unexpected contrasts by German musician AGF, an artist much admired by Line’s Richard Chartier.The voice is the human instrument. Almost everyone has a voice, unique and custom built within them. A voice is personal, political and controllable. Some voices are heard more than others. In expanding the meaning of voice, listening to and deconstructing it, we lear…
Aurora Liminalis
Line is pleased to announce the upcoming release of the second highly anticipated collaboration from renowned composer William Basinski and sound artist Richard Chartier. Aurora Liminalis is a rich and nebulous soundtrack, the aural equivalent of undulating trails of light. Disintegrating spatial shifts incorporating the two artists' distinct sonic palettes mesh to create a slow, deep ebb and flow, like some melting spectral transmission. The work has a distinct complex presence, difficul…

At WKCR Studios NY 12-8-74
Massively unlikely unearthing of a previously unreleased live radio broadcast from legendary free jazz saxophonist Charles Tyler in a hand-numbered edition of only 99 copies: Tyler is a comparatively unsung player compared to the better known free music titans but his was a fascinating career, playing alongside Albert Ayler on Bells and Spirits Rejoice, cutting a hands-down classic run of private LPs – Eastern Man Alone on ESP Disk, Voyage From Jericho and Live In Europe, 1978’s Saga Of Th…
India
Scored for the Folco Quilici documentary, Alla Scoperta Dell’India, "India" is surely one of the most refined Italian Library soundtracks ever published. All in all, a sublime Eastern tinged, exotic jazz featuring Alessandro Alessandroni on Sitar, originally published in the late 60s (and realized in 1966) on the collectable Sermi label. Highest of recommendations!
Servizio dall'Oriente (1971)
Lovely 1971 library re-release, a survey for a reading of Malaysian stories (describing in an exciting way the charm, mystery and exoticism of Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia and China), with an overall elegant background of oriental music that blends with decidedly Western sounds, often experimental, giving life to a fascinating and unforgettable jazzy musical texture. The characteristic of the topics, which are sometimes sweet and melancholy, or descriptive, is to contain slow sounds that a…

Menses
*Numbered edition of 206 copies pressed on 180 gram Menstrual Blood Red vinyl* Reissue of the private LP edition of 300 copies from 1981; the pyramidal construction of these two 'suites,' with its intentionally brutal and grotesque deformations, elaborates on overflowing and apocalyptical collapse, dragging a completely dissolvent conception of the world and of the para-industrial sound. Bonus tracks: 'Milan Bruits' from the Fix Planet! comp (Ata Tak) and the two tracks first issued in the v…
Martin Rev
In 1980, shortly after Suicide's second full-length, Martin Rev released his first solo album on preeminent No Wave label Infidelity (Lust/Unlust). Uninhibited by the trappings of a collaborator, Rev was freed to explore his most experimental and pop leanings with dirty synths, dark melodies and dreamlike textures, and produced a masterpiece of modern alienation that captures a uniquely New York landscape.
Echoing other electronic forerunners such as Silver Apples and Kraftwerk, and foreshadowi…

Piano Activity
Alga Marghen proudly presents the most iconic of all Fluxus pieces, Philip Corner's Piano Activity, in the legendary 1962 premiere. 'Piano Activities' was one of the pieces that raised the most scandal during the first, four-weekend-long series of Fluxus concerts in Europe. In a very free interpretation of Corner's score, George Maciunas, Dick Higgins, Ben Patterson, Alison Knowles, Wolf Vostell and Emmett Williams proceeded over the course of several days to take to pieces a grand piano, after …

Holger Czukay, now freed from bass duties, began experimenting with an array of electronic sounds, which he also began adding to the mix in part to counterbalance Can's …
A Double Promo Album By CAN
Vocalist Damo Suzuki’s departure from CAN in 1973 had forced the band to re-evaluate their sound. Now with Michael Karoli and Irmin Schmidt sharing vocal duties, the band had also begun drawing on influences from disco and glam. While still remaining staunchly outside the mainstream, they undoubtedly became more accessible to a wider audience, and soon had a huge fan base in the UK. In fact, just a few months after playing the live show found on this double LP (recorded in Lyon in January …
Tibetan slide art (the Come Organisation Files)
Limited edition of 413 copies in dvd box including a numbered insert with a M.B. essay from 1982 titled After The Entrance, The Final Solution. The material conained here was previously issued under the moniker Leibstandarte SS MB.

Time to Decide
A compilation of rare studio and live tracks from the band, circa 1978-1980, not on RVNG Intl.'s Music Is Painting In The Air... collection. On 180 gram vinyl with CD of the album. "Formed by Florentine guitarist Franco Falsini (formerly of Noi Tre) and American drummer Keith Edwards, Sensations' Fix was one of the most exciting acts to come out of the Italian music scene of the 1970s.

Sonanze
An influential member of the Italian avant-garde, Roberto Cacciapaglia has spent the last four decades blurring the lines between classical and electronic music, developing a sound that has never been restricted by genre. A classically trained pianist and composer from Milan, Cacciapaglia first came to prominence in the early seventies as keyboardist for the king of experimental Italian pop, Franco Battiato. After recording his own debut LP, 1975's Sonanze in Milan, Cacciapaglia traveled to …
