Triality
The intersection of mathematics and mysticism has long been one of experimental music's most fertile territories, from La Monte Young's just intonation systems to the algorithmic compositions of Iannis Xenakis. Now, with his sophomore album Triality, Milian Mori ventures into this rarefied space with a work of stunning conceptual ambition and emotional depth - a 16-track double LP that unfolds as a seamless 53-minute meditation on the "unspeakable third in the second." Released via raster - the …
Aube Reworks Maurizio Bianchi Vol. 2
2006 release ** "Static music, suspended by a thread of silence. Circular flowing audio structures. Archeology of sound. Mind expanding texture. A new fascinating operation of disassembly and restructure of sonic material by Maurizio Bianchi (the entire album The Testamentary Corridor), by incomparable japanese 'audio sculptor' Aube."
Aube Reworks Maurizio Bianchi Vol. 1
2005 release ** "A superb work of re-editing and re-composition of original material by Maurizio Bianchi, that saves the distinctly experimental aim of the music by the hystorical Italian artist, renewing it in surely less extreme and hard but equal new form, unquestionably catching and sure effectiveness."
Alienation
2008 release ** "Maurizio Bianchi's second artistic season continues to be enriched with new releases, often the result of collaborations with other authors, as in the case of "Alienation", a work performed together with Claudio Rocchetti, a skilled audio manipulator with an evident interest in the analog sounds of the past. In line with other recent products by Maurizio, this album also has its fulcrum in an interiority that explodes towards the surrounding world through electronic and abstract…
Cumbia Siglo XXI
After the very acoustic "¿Dónde estás María?". I decided to try a new experiment taking as a reference the legendary group "Cumbia siglo XX" which is a group who explores a futuristic vision of coastal cumbia in the 80s, together with other groups such as "Grupo folclórico", "2000 voltios" and others, mainly under the label Machuca and Felito records. This new 80s cumbia was a combination of funky basses and a further evolution of the rhythms, blending this style with disco and even rock music a…
Great Doubt Edits
Great Doubts Edits by Astrid Sonne is a dynamic rework of her original album Great Doubts, transforming introspective electronic compositions into vibrant, club-ready versions. Sonne blends glitchy beats, pulsing synths, and ethereal vocals, maintaining her signature melancholic yet playful tone. These edits reimagine the tracks with sharper rhythms and immersive textures, offering a fresh, dancefloor-oriented perspective while preserving the emotional depth of the original. A must-listen for fa…

Invocation Of The Beast Gods
1989 release ** "If "Cathedral" is one of Nigel Ayers' most celestially minded records, then "Invocation of the Beast Gods" is among his most ritualistic. We start at full throttle with suffocating tension before giving way to an uneasy release. "Tranquil" this is not, but Ayers' delicate touch allows him to explore the full breadth of the album title's implications — here you will find moments of whimsy, contemplation, and full-bore reckoning.."
Toinen Kaupunki
Three pioneers of contemporary minimal electronic music converge on this remarkable collaborative EP, bridging the austere aesthetics of Finnish electronic minimalism with the ambient experimentalism of a new generation. Released via the legendary Sähkö Recordings' Puu sublabel, this tripartite exploration represents a masterful synthesis of post-minimalist sensibilities and environmental sound design.
Live 2002
2018 release (RARE) ** "Live 2002 captures an inspired performance at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art in Newcastle by three revered, influential and likeminded pioneers; Ryoji Ikeda, Alva Noto and the late, great Mika Vainio. Minimal but highly effective, the performance builds throughout with deep sub bass, sleek, spacious sound design and high voltage, inorganic ambience. The innate noise floor in music technology is pushed up to take centre stage. This is sound of electricity, the hum of t…
Mörk Borg
2025 Vinyl Repress. ONE DAY ALL WILL BLACKEN AND BURN. Just as the two-headed basilisks predicted. Lies, Truth, Denial and Envy embodied. Their riddling yet oddly accurate prophecies were put in ink by Anuk Schleger the monk, in the scrolls that now hold many names - The Nameless Scriptures, The Unwritten, The Dirt Pages. And so far, every promise therein has been realized, hence why both kings and beggars now cry and wail. Everything will blacken and burn. The stormy, Endless Sea will boil and …
Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel III
*200 coipes limited edition* Among the many kind remarks and deeply personal stories that have been shared with zakè and 36 about their beloved series, Stasis Sounds For Long-Distance Space Travel, perhaps the most succinct and poignant is one from a fan, regarding the first installment: “I was terrified of space travel, until I heard this album.” In those few words, the complex themes and contrasts that the artists explore through their comforting hymns of cosmic scale are summed up beautifully…
Fireside Spells
Klaus Morlock returns with Fireside Spells, an album blending eerie folk, vintage synth, and psychedelic soundscapes into a world of supernatural encounters, Cold War conspiracies, and time slipping away. Inspired by 70s horror soundtracks, lost transmissions, and forgotten folklore The title track evokes woodland rituals and ancient myths, while Henderson Makes Time shifts into 60s psychedelia, following a protagonist caught in a web of espionage and dark magic. The spectral synth work of A Gat…
Cathedral
*2025 stock* Nocturnal Emissions' releases throughout the 1980s are eclectic, adventurous and intermittently raw. 1991's "Cathedral" is something else entirely — ritualistic, expansive, awe-inducing. It is at turns warm, ominous and ethereal. We could come up with adjectives all day, but it really must be heard to be believed. Originally released by Italy's Musica Maxima Magnetica, "Cathedral" finally gets its due on vinyl with a deluxe 2xLP edition featuring a large booklet with many of Nigel A…
Hometown Girl
Groggy, engrossing new work from Ulla under their newly minted U.e. tag, riffing to the sublime on a set of (mostly) acoustic reveries that tap into the kind of smokey vapours favoured by the likes of Vincent Gallo, Voice Actor, Jonnine. Oh aye, it’s a special one.
A new year, label, album and handle for Ulla, a multifaceted artist who has draped our pages with wonder, under numerous aliases and collabs, for almost a decade. On ‘Hometown Girl’ they distill transience and flux into a quiet set of…
Forma
CEM has gained international notoriety over the past years for bewitching club and festival audiences alike with his feverish, polymorphic and richly referential DJ sets. For his debut full-length album, FORMA, the Berlin-based Herrensauna founder momentarily departs the dancefl oor, instead contributing a refl ective and at times menacing compositional study on terror and temporal anachronism for our perplexing times. All six pieces were originally commissioned to accompany Portuguese artist Ma…
Staying (Leaving Records Aid to Artists Impacted by the Los Angeles Wildfires)
"Everything has changed, and it is changing still. The early days of 2025 (an already baleful year, vis-a-vis America’s darkening political horizon) have wrought heretofore unimaginable destruction in the land we now call Los Angeles. The wildfires that began on the morning of Tuesday, January 7th—and which are still raging—are, in scope and intensity, unlike any other disaster, natural or manmade, in the city’s living memory. Thousands of homes destroyed. Twenty four lives lost at the time of w…
Our Glassie Azoth
1997 release ** "Excellent debut album by two mysterious musicians from Wales/UK. Their music sounds like they have adapted parts of 'Sternklang' by Karlheinz Stockhausen for ten distorted guitars. Their focus is upon pure noise with an intent to locate, draw out and revel in it's hitherto hidden harmonies. Using the rough sound of variegated tape-manipulations with some acoustic instruments such as flutes and woodblocks they enjoy to produce feedback drenched drone chaos that flutters and filte…
