Mid Sky
*200 copies limited edition* Mid Sky, the first full-length collaboration between Past Inside the Present label head zakè (aka Zach Frizzell) and vocalist Angela Winter, is the result of a patient exchange of ideas and arrangements over the course of more than a year. True to its title, the album occupies a rarefied place between the terrestrial and the cosmic, as Frizzell’s organic drones and field recordings unfurl in tandem with the cascading harmonies of Winter’s otherworldly voice, which cr…
Kairos
*200 copies limited edition* Kairos is the sophomore album from Berlin trio Ausklang, following the monumental, critically-acclaimed Chronos (Past Inside the Present, 2020). Throughout its eight movements, Fabian Koppri, Benjamin Sohn, and Simon Ansing play with concepts of relative time and entropy through a masterful balance of melodic post-rock and layered ambient bliss, adorning an understated frame of guitar, bass, and drums with complex, ever-evolving arrangements, ranging from glitchy ele…

Atmospherics [30th Anniversary Edition]
*200 copies limited edition* Past Inside the Present is proud to reissue James Bernard’s landmark 1994 ambient masterwork, Atmospherics, remastered and packaged with a brand new, track-by-track interpretation of the entire album by friend and collaborator, bvdub. While these versions are separated by an ocean of musical and technological change, together they form a cohesive image of adventurous musicianship, melodic and textural richness, and stylistic timelessness.
We Could For Hours
2008 release ** 199 copies limited edition. Original 2007 CD copies repackaged in a new cover. The old A Silent Place warehouse was flooded by water, so a big amount of goods has been destroyed, in particular the original covers and all printed matters. Few original CD copies were saved and now found, so a new edition has been released. Packaged in a new redesigned cover. "We Could For Hours is instability. It represents the will to open the gates of unknown. It is the dark, whispered sounds and…
Night Shapes
*50 copies limited edition* A Silent Place is back and proudly presents a new Fabio Orsi album, recorded live, edited and mastered in June 2020 in litoranea salentina (Apulia). For this release Fabio plays mono synths and FM synth and effects. Similar to the latest releases, this five-tracks album also maintains electronic atmospheres, sometimes cold and dark, sometimes melodic, but always deep. Another true gem of deep electronic, ambient and cosmic music from Fabio Orsi! The album is available…
Ploutonion
*150 copies limited edition* "One to Many, Brightness to Darkness, Memory to Oblivion.Pluton Helios or Apollo Helios? When Massimo Pupillo and ILIOS visited the ancient site of Eleusis, Greece in 2019, Ploutonion (the entrance to the underworld) was their final destination. Recordings of the Ploutonion project started right after and were heavily inspired from the juxtaposition of the ancient and current state of things. The entrance to the underworld does not produce any poisonous emissions any…
Witchcraft
*200 copies limited edition* The track Witchcraft was originally released by SSS Production on a C25 cassette in 1989. Eighth Tower Records brings to light, re-releasing on CD, this esoteric industrial gem by Capricorni Pneumatici, along with three entirely unreleased tracks. Witchcraft was largely inspired by reading the Compendium Maleficarum by Francesco Maria Guazzo from 1608, in a copy of the famous 1929 Rodker edition edited by Montague Summers. The track was created using the DX7 synth, t…
Nati Infiniti
Following up on 2021’s Scuro Chiaro, Nati Infiniti is a 40-minute piece split into five movements, based on an immersive audio installation that Cortini originally created for the Sónar Lisboa festival in 2022 where it was presented across four floors of the Museu de Lisboa’s Moagem. Cortini later debuted the live performance at Berlin’s Atonal festival in 2023, reimagining the work as a unique, evolving dialogue. The record is mixed by Grammy nominated recording engineer, producer, and mixer Ma…
vÄäristymä 2014 - 2024
"Once we got the Amiga, creating music meant starting from scratch and experimenting on our own. At that time our technical skills were so lacking that we recorded our first song using a video camera pointed at the screen speakers. Later, with the addition of a microphone, cassette recording became an easier process. Eventually we discovered the direct transfer of sound to a cassette recorder via RCA cables. At some point, tracker programs entered the scene, enabling easy and systematic serial p…
Unmapping The Distance Keeps Getting Closer
12k is very happy to help usher in the return of Ezekiel Honig, a New York City-based artist and founder of both the Anticipate Recordings and Microcosm labels, which have released music from Sawako, Nicola Ratti and Mark Templeton, among others, throughout the 2000s.
Honig returns with Unmapping the Distance Keeps Getting Closer, an album of very stark, and often dark and vulnerable music. Honig describes the work in the context of the feeling of listening while walking through the city, and th…
Deep Valley
Deep Valley is a new work by Australian artists Seaworthy (Cameron Webb) and Matt Rösner, composed and recorded during a week long residency at Bundanon Art Museum on the south coast of New South Wales. The Bundanon property was gifted to the Australian people by renowned artist, Arthur Boyd and his wife Yvonne in the 1990’s. In making this gift, the Boyd’s opened a creative place for artists to immerse themselves in a truly distinctive Australian landscape. The property sits on the banks on the…
I Am The Dirt Under Your Fingernails
*Limited edition of 400 copies.* Since 1983, Justin K. Broadrick (Godflesh, Jesu, Council Estate Electronics, The Sidewinder, etc.) has been producing largely solo, but sometimes collaborative, work under the Final moniker. Beginning as a more obviously power electronics-inspired project it has during the past two decades or so evolved into one which still retains that sonic intensity but has a more expansive sound. 'I Am the Dirt Under Your Fingernails' is the latest album, closely following 'I…
What is a Body
Yes, your eyes tell you the truth – this is the first new record by Zero Kama released since 2008 live vinyl! During these 16 years Zoe Dewitt was active with book publishing, Zero Kama and Korpses Katatonic reissues, lectures, scientific research, exhibitions, and rare but bright live shows. However, most of us have forgotten our dreams of seeing new releases of Zero Kama. Originally, "What is a Body" is the 50-minute background soundtrack for Zoe Dewitt's lecture performance in the anatomical …
A Colour For Autumn
"Somehow, 15 years has passed since I worked on A Colour For Autumn. This recording was, in many ways, a critical one for me. In some respects, it rounded out a period of work that was focused on a particular marriage of thematics and harmony. Like For Varying Degrees Of Winter, it dwelled on old world impressions of the seasons, something that, in the southern hemisphere, isn’t intrinsically part of our way of approaching place. I think it was this incongruity with my own lived experience that …
Neuromancer
"It’s hard to imagine that this year William Gibson’s Neuromancer celebrates its 40th anniversary. Having recently re-read the book for the first time in a great many years, the world building Gibson undertook in that text and the lingering cultural spectres he conjured, feel ever so evocative of moments of our contemporary lived experience. The books continued cultural resonance has resolved in a way that captured a future reading of an, at that time of its release, unknown internet era. It was…
Psychonavigation
Infinite Fog Productions is thrilled to announce the long-awaited reissue of the legendary Psychonavigation series in a 5CD Box format!
Omega
*200 copies limited edition* Die Sonne Satans (also known as Die Sonne Satan) is the musical creation of Paolo Beltrame. The name Die Sonne Satans is borrowed from the title of Georges Bernanos' novel "Sous le soleil de Satan", which Maurice Pialat adapted into the eponymous film in 1987. Die Sonne Satans is driven by the desire for self-determination in opposition to dogmas or conventions supported only by tradition, authority, or revelation. It remains one of the most creative and simultaneous…
S.F.A.G. 31.11.1981
Maurizio Bianchi began experimenting with industrial / noise music shortly after the genre emerged. Initially, he released four recordings under the moniker Sacher-Pelz, then began using his own name or his initials, M.B., in 1980. From 1979 to 1984, Bianchi released around 35 albums, showcasing a period of intense creativity before he took a break from music until 1998. Since resuming his work, he has released over 250 additional albums. What is remarkable about Bianchi’s career - aside from hi…
Constants
*2024 stock* UK-based artist Chris Herbert is a man of intermittent communications. Over the past decade he has published a select oeuvre of crushingly lush and elegant records. Fittingly then, Constants, his new edition for Room40 is a transmission from an overtly private realm. Working in a relative vacuum, beyond the reach of contemporary electronic music trends, Herbert has focussed his interest in intuitive composition. Drawing on a mixed musical palette and interweaving sounds sourced from…
Dry Routine
*200 copies limited edition with hand-stamped coffee stained sleeves and insert* 5 decided and minimal arrangements of raw organic waste, tired motors, and idling electronic signals. Sound sources that are unmistakably worldly, spun into Ochu’s signature malaise, making them impossible to place. A continuation of the trajectory established on his preceding albums Unproduktiw and Lähmung des Wartens, this time while a slightly noisier edge.
