Reissues

Aprirsi nel silenzio
Finally restocked, very last copies around...Just say the Hystory of the industrial avantgarde in Italy, since 1981 - Originally recorded in 1984, tasaday's aprirsi nel silenzio (do bloom in the silence) was reissued by wallace records in 2000. The genre of this album: underground classical. Technically, it seems like tasaday wrote this album as a soundtrack to a really bad nightmare, so anguished that the album would probably fit well with a viewing of eraserhead. To create this, they play a mi…

Disasters of self
I've known Joe for close to 15 years - his audio output for a few more. His composition techniques, recording and editing methods, and persistent refinement and redefining of his aural goals has helped to define a body of work that I firmly believe only few artists could hope to match. After a handful of releases on C.I.P., ranging from full-length CD to one-sided 7, my resolve solidified that Joe was a contemporary artist whose work deserved the focus, breadth, and depth of a multiple LP…
Galiola - Works For Radio, 1967- 2000
Over the last 40 years, Serbian radio-art composer and film director  Arsenije Jovanović has developed a deeply personal style of sound art for radio broadcast. His compositions are imbued with natural environments and human-centered activities. They feel rooted in place - whether real, imaginary, remembered or dreamed. Weaving voices, instruments, field recordings and manipulated sound, Jovanović creates vivid narratives without a story. He takes full advantage of sound’s capability for seamles…
Jade Warrior
** Remastered, 180gr, their legendary debut LP from 1971** Jade Warrior's first album following Tony Duhig and Jon Field's emergence out of the psychedelic July captures them abandoning the best of that band's whimsical moodiness in favor of a symphonic spirituality epitomized from the outset by the soaring guitars that ecstatically slice through the opening "Traveller." Reminiscent, in places, of a less-precious successor to Quintessence and the Incredible String Band in that moods and esoteric…
Released
The outrageous British packaging of Jade Warrior's Released was restricted while retaining almost all of its luxurious quality.  The cover itself is a single cover, depicting virtually the same front and back as the British release. The Vertigo logo was transferred to the left upper corner, while the freecoming space now had a caption ''including poster''. Indeed, a poster was added. This was an exact copy of the 6-part fold-out board used in Britain, but of course on ''normal'' thin paper.
Elastic Rock
A beautifully judged and played jazz-rock album, 'Elastic Rock' marked the beginning of a series of intricate and experimental fusion albums for the group's leader, trumpet-player Ian Carr. As did Soft Machine, Nucleus developed from a jazz-orientated outfit into a more progressive, fusion-based collective(in later years the group would come to be known as 'Ian Carr & Nucleus) with later albums, such as 1976's 'Alley Cat', adding electronics to the already eclectic brew. However, their deb…
Ouvre Disintegrale
Alga Marghen presents one of the most impressive sound poetry anthologies ever published, introducing you to the sound works of the Nouveau Realiste artist François Dufrene.

Previously issued in 2007 as a 4LP box set, this first edition on CD also includes "Crirythme pour Tinguely" as bonus track. François Dufrene could be considered the y…
Deux pipes
In the past few years alga marghen successfully released on CD some of Anton Bruhin more experimental works.

But for this new release alga marghen decided to concentrate on Anton Bruhin favorite instrument, the jews harp. Included in this LP record are six breathtaking jews harp pieces of pure genius. On Si…
Il divano dell'Orecchio
Mindblowing box! this is the only authorized reissue of all Walter Marchetti original recordings previously released by Cramps Records. A 5LP box set including "La caccia", In terram utopicam", "Per la sete dell'orecchio", "Natura morta" and "Vandalia". The most amazing thing about music is its exterior aspect. High, vertical, translucent, almost turgid, maybe a bit too monolithic. One should, in any case, give a lot of attention to the large number of interstices which lead to the centre of the…

Experimental Films (1943-1959)
"From the early 1940's until her death in 1961, Maya Deren evoked and exemplified the American avant-garde movement virtually by herself. Her first film, Meshes Of The Afternoon, set the tone for the decade and linked the movement to the older European avant-garde films of Cocteau and Bunuel". -- Cecil Starr, The New York Times. "Intensely personal, symbolic and surreal films that reveal her deepest, darkest fantasies. She's Fellini and Bergman wrapped in one gloriously possessed body. Watching …
Divine Horsemen - The Living Gods of Haiti
Maya Deren takes us on a journey into the fascinating world of the Voudoun religion, whose devotees commune with the cosmic powers through invocation, offerings, song and dance. In 1947 filmmaker she received the first Guggenheim Fellowship for creative work in motion pictures based on a proposal for a film on Haitian dance. On trips to Haiti in 1947, 1949 and 1954, she shot several thousand feet of "Voudoun " rituals. The Voudoun pantheon of deities, or loa, is witnessed as being living…
Delusion Of The Fury
Gatefold 180 gram vinyl reissue, originally released in 1971. "In this long-awaited masterwork, Harry Partch rises above all attempts at descriptive containment and becomes quite simply heroic. Delusions Of The Fury, proceeding from tragedy to comedy, is nothing less than the full, ritualistic expression, in vocal instrumental and corporeal terms, of the reconciliation by the living both with death and with life. It is a total Partch statement, incorporating voices, mime, his celebrated instrume…
Sirius Respect
This CD allows the music of two of the 20th century's musical giants to be heard as they've never quite been heard before. Sun Ra and Stockhausen have a lot in common: mysticism, astrology, a self-constructed cosmology and (intertwining) compositional language, the idea of 'advanced' musical and intellectual work, and an early, involved adoption of synthesizers. In choosing the repertoire, Respect wanted to draw comparisons and contrasts between the two composers and address the questions of how…
Knirsch
Classic interweaving of jazz, rock, avant-garde and electronic, with Larry Coryell & Colosseum's Jon Hiseman. Completely new standards were set with this recording, originally released on MPS in 1972. Knirsch became cult and still is until now, almost 40 years after its release. A unique example for the successful interweaving of jazz, rock, avant-garde and electronic. The musicians: US guitarist Larry Coryell, German keyboarder Wolfgang Dauner, British drummer Jon Hiseman, US percussion…
