Shadow Farming
* Limited blue vinyl LP in a gatefold sleeve, edition of 500 * Back in 1982, many were happy to believe that Deux Filles really were tragic French orphans Claudine Coule and Gemini Forque.

The short, mysterious career of the female French duo Deux Filles is bookended by tragedy. Gemini Forque and Claudine Coule met as te…

The Magnificent Void
** 2021 Stock ** Hearts Of Space Record presents The Magnificent Void, a Magnum Opus of pure oceanic sound and Steve Roach's most sophisticated atmospheric work to date.

Klein : Rot
** Edition of 300 individually numbered copies pressed on red vinyl ** Thorny, brittle, highly unusual electronic brilliance by Hamburg enigma Ulrich Rehberg aka Ditterich von Euler-Donnersperg, a covert operator who may or may not be behind Werkbund’s near-mythical output. If yr into anything from the maziest Bernard Parmegiani gear, Gerald Donald at his most inventive, or the proprioceptive concrète scapes of Marina Rosenfeld - this is compelling, essential listening. Since the early ’80s Uli’…
I
**Edition of 60** "Growing up means your mental models of the world are more likely to match observable results in the 'real world'. Or to say it differently: Growing up means, your plants are not dying anymore. I am not sure we have grown up quite yet, but maybe embarking on a 25 minute free form improvisation, with the tape rolling, relies just as much on what you know, as trusting the things you do not know yet. Just as much being in touch with the grown-up as the child in you and the partner…
