*200 hand-numbered copies limited edition* "Sunder is the first full-length collaboration between Brooklyn-based Thomas Meluch (aka Benoît Pioulard) and Denver-based Jason Corder (aka offthesky).

To celebrate this milestone, earlier this year we asked our roster of artists to submit a piece of music for an anniversary compilation. As submissions gradually came in, we were blown away by what we received and slowly began to piece them together into what was to become “10”. Featur…
Switched On Ra
To pour some out for one of their heroes, the cosmos’ own Sun Ra, Bitchin Bajas simply cut a slice of their own DNA and amplify it! Or something like that: they clearly vibe with Ra in hypno-symbiosis, setting the controls of their analog synths for the heart of Sun. Bonus mixtribute: a heartfelt doff to Queen Wendy C, sythnaut and another mother!

Memorie Elettroniche Sonore
*2024 stock. 200 copies limited edition* Memorie Elettroniche Sonore was the first Raffaele Pezzella’s music release, long before the Sonologyst project. The EP was recorded in the Summer of 2000, and released in the same year on Cdr by Peoplesound (London, UK). No sound was added to the original recordings to preserve the music authenticity, and the cover artwork shows the original picture of the 2000 EP.
Cursory Asperses
As Celer, Will Long and Danielle Baquet laid out a framework for extended exercises in ambience, texture and atmosphere. Their work, much of which was initially circulated through collectors, traders and fanatics, went on to become a blueprint for an approach to sound that was equal parts patient, generous and drifting. Cursory Asperses collects a unique set of shorter form works that typify the pairs interested in warmth and subtle density. Recorded between 2007 and 2008, it captures a culminat…
Live Recordings
AI-36 comes from Ear to Ear - the debut collaboration between label regular Samuel van Dijk (Multicast Dynamics) and Ukrainian artist Yevgen Chebotarenko. Taken from a series of live recording sessions, the album explores in four parts a markedly darker realm of soundscape music. A cornucopia of abstract morphing scenes and heady synesthesia, the album brims with rich sonic detail and evocative gestures. Deftly blending organic sound textures with an experimental austerity, ‘Live Recordings’ dis…

The Lights Are On But No-One's Home
Limited edition pressing of 300 copies, in full colour sleeve re-creating the original CD artwork, with insert and comes in a poly-lined black inner sleeve Track 1 title is misspelt on both the sleeve and insert - A Bad Diana is a project from Diana Rogerson, someone I first became aware of aged 12 when I read about Nurse With Wound and their United Dairies label in Smash Hits magazine. I was confused, mystified and intrigued in equal measure, and a couple of years later as a result I bought my …
We Couldn't Agree On A Total
in Colin Potter own words: This is the 100th release by ICR. The first was the compilation LP ‘We Couldn’t Agree on a Title’ in 1981. Back in those days, I never imagined – no, wait – that’s so long ago, I really can’t remember what I imagined. I know that I did think Integrated Circuit Records was a good name for a label that was ‘integrated’ (?!) and vaguely electronic. Which is why it’s now called ICR, much less of a mouthful. But it is slightly surprising to have made it to 100 releases, alt…

Auditory hallucinations as if hearing the roar of magma wriggling at the depths of the earth. All musical components here are the sounds of electric guitar,bass,synthesizers,human/animal voices, …

Now marking the 10th year anniversary of the album, 'A Little Fable' is still being…
