Pancake Moon
On her sophomore album Pancake Moon, Michiko Ogawa crafts a liminal soundworld suspended between darkness and light, fusing sho, piano, and synthesizers into reflections on memory, loss, and renewal. Released in late 2025 by Futura Resistenza, the record drifts through introspective layers and subtle textures, inviting listeners into an immersive experience that is at once deeply personal and quietly radiant.
Protomurk Book One
Protomurk Book One, the latest project by Zeke Clough in collaboration with Twilight Sequence, is a multimedia release fusing a vividly psychedelic graphic novel with a specially composed soundtrack CD. The first installment in Clough’s Proto Murk series, it traverses inter-dimensional landscapes—populated by mutated mole rats and spectral environments—via Clough’s intricate illustrations complemented by Twilight Sequence’s immersive, atmospheric sound design. Together, they conjure a world that…
Generator
Generator is the lead single and CD EP from James Adrian Brown, marking his transition from guitar-driven rock into the realm of thoughtful electronic music. The track—surging, resilient, marked by Brown’s layered production—introduces the conceptual arc of his debut album with pulsing synths and a sense of propulsive energy.
Appendix I
Appendix I brings together three Warrington-Runcorn EPs onto CD for the first time. Comprising Building A New Town, A Shared Sense Of Purpose and Overspill Estates, this CD brings together some of the more esoteric elements of the world of Musical New Town Planning.
Public Works and Utilities
Public Works and Utilities by Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan is the sixth full-length album from the British electronic project helmed by Gordon Chapman-Fox. Returning to the conceptual world of post-war British urban planning, this record shifts focus from spectral nostalgia to the stark realities of public infrastructure’s managed decline, channeling the anxieties and bleak optimism of contemporary Britain through atmospheric electronica and abstract, danceable beats.
Tandoor Dog
*2025 Stock* "In 1998 Staalplaat and Muslimgauze were on a conquering spirit. Bryn Jones (1961-1999), the man behind Muslimgauze delivered new works, almost on a weekly basis and was more than happy to see them released straight away. Unlike others, Staalplaat was never shy to release larger works, lumping various works together, such as the 9CD “Box Of Silk & Dogs”. Allowing free reign in editing, the 4LP box set ‘Tandoori Dog”, contained the LP of the same name, which saw only eight out of the…
Mohammad Ali Jinnah
*2025 Stock* "Unsurprisingly for an artist as prolific and strident as Bryn Jones was, the flood of material he sent to labels and compatriots was not always carefully categorized. Also, sometimes he would be so eager to release material that if things didn’t happen fast enough he’d just send in another tape. And that circumstance is how you wind up with a fascinating oddity like Mohammad Ali Jinnah.Staalplaat has previously released, in 2002, the Muslimgauze album Sarin Israel Nes Ziona. While …
Jerusalaam
*2025 Stock* Jerusalaam plus the two extra tracks make up unused material from the Return of Black September sessions. The contrast, even for someone with as wide a range as Muslimgauze had, is stunning. The original Jerusalaam fits in with much of Bryn Jones’ classic work, with a heavy emphasis on hand percussion, bass-heavy distortion, sharply clipped loops, and the seething his of static. The two otherwise unnamed Return of Black September tracks, however, follow that album in taking a much m…
Speaking With Hamas
*2025 Stock* 'Speaking With Hamas' was compiled by Bryn Jones himself early 1997 and he thought it would be nice to include a new, previously unreleased track. In his words:"It's for people who don't deserve it". "A tourist asked Ali muhamad, a second-hand camel salesman, why camels look so dam supercilious. He replied the Arabs know 99 names for god. But only the camel knows the 100th."
Al Jar Zia Audio
If ‘Satyajit Eye’ (which is released at the same time on Staalplaat) only blinks at Indian culture, the album ‘Al Jar Zia Audio’ does this with both eyes open. It is known that Bryn Jones, the man behind Muslimgauze, looked further than the Palestinian conflict and used extensively the rhythms of India, Pakistan and other Eastern cultures. Like crossing borders in the bigger Islam regio, Jones takes whatever comes at hand and moulds into his own trademark sound – often imitated, never surpassed.…
Jebel Tariq
Jebel Tariq has strong hand drum beats throughout but still maintains a very moody feel. It was undoubtedly these very elements that lead Jeremy Keens to state it was"balanced between the ambient and beat sides" of Bryn's work. It goes beyond just these elements though. There are whispered voices changing to strong ululations, frequent flute"samples" and then the bass. There are parts where the deep throb of the electric bass element gives a very dub feel and then there is the use of acoustic ba…
Sulaymaniyah
*2025 Stock* “Sulaymaniyah is part of Staalplaat’s ongoing Muslimgauze archive series, masters originally submitted in 1997, then “replaced” by what became Vampire of Tehran released early in 1998. It was not uncommon for the prolific Bryn Jones to replace masters with what he believed to be a more fit release. Short of two tracks, “Fez Tishan” and “Hamas Pulse of Revenge”, this is Vampire of Tehran with nine additional, unreleased tracks. Because Sulaymaniyah was “replaced”, it was stored in St…
Jackal The Invizible
*2025 Stock* Listeners who know much of anything about Bryn Jones' work as Muslimgauze know that he was prolific in both his work and in the way he sent out his work to labels and other interested parties. Fittingly enough for an artist that feverishly productive and often taciturn to the point of frustration, he didn't tend to give much more information than handwritten track titles on the sleeve of a DAT. Why he would submit multiple copies of the same or similar tracks to those he worked with…
Muhammadunize
*2025 Stock* Recorded and mixed at Abraham Mosque, Manchester 1996, this is a re-release of Muslimlim 009, only C2 taken from stdc 001. Listeners who know much of anything about Bryn Jones’ work as Muslimgauze know that he was prolific in both his work and Muhammadunize, has what could be called a classic feel to it, with a very familiar blend of drones, string instruments, and synths, and varying percussion/break-beat patterns, in turn mixed with a number of hard-to-catch vocal samples. It's a…
Aste
Essential Re-issue of this stone cold classic .First released in 2006 Written and produced by Mika Vainio in Turku 1992-1993.
Mastered at Dubplates & Mastering by Rashad Becker.
Désinances
Désinances is a collection of pieces taken from two contrasting recording sessions. The first was intended as a set of raw materials made specifically for a collaborative project with Franck Vigroux, and provided the impetus for the making of this album, with the second following on shortly afterwards. Both occasions yielded different musical results, yet possess a similar intention - owing something to the liminality of crepuscular daylight and the nighttime darkness during which they were both…
Towards the Center of Time and Surrounded by Spirits
Towards the Center of Time and Surrounded by Spirits by Peter Van Hoesen is an immersive exploration of perception and temporality. Crafted with precise spatial sound design, it fuses techno’s structural logic with the meditative density of electroacoustic composition, turning rhythm into a vessel for introspection and astral presence.
Scomparire
Simon Balestrazzi's new solo effort calls for the ear to linger on things shrouded in fog, sounds meandering between vision and reality. Highlighted by the mysterious shots by Adriano Zanni you can now enter an awkward soundworld where nothing can be traced anymore. "Scomparire", to disappear, Vanishing. Pretending to vanish in a thick fog, never to be found again. The detachment from one’s identity. Leaving behind the constant paranoia of what is real and what is not. Leaving behind everything:…
Everything Collapse(D) - Piano Versions
This is an unreleased and “lost” new album by Deison and Mingle conceived in 2014 /15 right after the recording and the release of their debut collaboration-album "Everything Collapse[d]". After the passing of Andrea Gastaldello (“Mingle”) in 2021 and founding these forgotten tracks led us to think that this work should have been listened to understand the essence of the original album. Published by a co-production of three label who have released various works by the duo in the past (Loud!, Fin…
Slow Dances And Still Memories
Slow Dances and Still Memories is the convergence of two musicians from distinct generations, Andrea Bellucci & Giulio Aldinucci — a languid waltz of fragmented memories and fleeting emotions, tied to moments in life, whether they arise from a dancefloor or a remote rural setting, from the hum of the night or the stillness of silence. Electronics here functions much like time itself: they blurs, distorts, reshapes, and subtly deceives memory… A choreography of ancient voices that intertwine in t…
