Momentaufnahme I
Originally part of 2021’s Faust Box Set release commemorating the bands 50th anniversary Momentaufnahme I and II are now set for their own stand alone release by popular demand. This is for all those that missed out on the limited edition box set release. They collect together music recorded at the band's studio - a converted schoolhouse in rural Wümme between 1971 and 1974 in a similar vein to the way in which 'The Faust Tapes’ (released in 1973) was assembled. These two albums range from minim…
Folklore des Weltalls 2 (LP)
**Tiny repress. LP limited edition of 100 copies with special insert and inner sleeve with artist’s description. Cover handprinted by silkscreen on high quality paper.** Die Welttraumforscher is an enigmatic Swiss musical and artistic project. Active since 1981, when the first cassette came out on Das Moniflabel, they have an archive with more than 30 albums, but also stories, films and fanciful illustrations. Die Welttraumforscher is a sonority exploration that translates energy and sounds from…
Artwork 51
*300 copies limited edition. In process of stocking* "Artwork 51" is the second album for Zoharum, a group formed by musicians known from the Rapoon, Pas Musique and Promute projects (also previously released by our label). The intercontinental trio consistently continues and develops its formula of psychedelic electronics, using quite similar instruments and sound objects. Just like on the "Welcome to Graceland" album, you can hear echoes of music close to the achievements of Cluster, Deuter or…
Echonomy Split Series #5
**70 copies limited edition. Riso-printed booklet accompanied by a multi-page conversation between Laure and Laurent. In process of stocking** It is with great pleasure that we release the fifth installment of our Echonomy split serie and present a special father and daughter collaboration. In 2021, Berlin-based French artist Laure Boer found by chance old tapereels of her father, French conductor Laurent Boer. In 1981, the latter participated in a GRM workshop in Paris, during which he created …
Paréidolie
*Limited Edition of 300 copies.* Three years after Pergélisol/Chorémanie, their first diptych album crossing post-punk radicalism and minimalist ambition, the quartet named after Maria Spelterini (an Italian tightrope walker who crossed the Niagara Falls on a wire several times in 1876) released a second record that transcends this delicate aesthetic balance and navigates well beyond/below rock and electronics. When Pierre-Antoine Parois, Arthur de La Grandière (members of Papier Tigre), Meriade…
Geometría Prohibida
*Limited edition of 200 copies.* Melancholic energy blast from Gran Canaria’s cult trio, MINIATURa, helmed by Eduardo Briganty. Formed in Las Palmas in 2007 and with three records under their belt, "Music Box" (2007), "La Huida Concéntrica" (2012) and "Estrategias de Perdición" (2015), the trio now unleashes its fourth album with a distillation of Briganty's musical and artistic references, coming like a cross of concept album and an unintentional imaginary soundtrack to a David Lynch flick – a…
Last Chance
** Edition of 500. The record has been remastered and is pressed on 180-gram black vinyl. Lyric insert sheet. ** Minimal Wave is are excited to announce the reissue of a rare self-released record by Plugpoint Music called 'Last Chance'. Plugpoint Music was the minimal synth project of Reiner Ossmann, who recorded the 12 songs on this album in his home studio in Germany in 1987 and released them as an edition of 200 copies. This gem of a record was never properly distributed and so essentially di…
Behind The Curtain - The Lost Album
**2022 stock** Rodion Ladislau Rosca grew up and got his musical education in Cluj, the third biggest city in Romania, during the relatively ‘open’ years of 1965-1972, before Ceacescu’s regime cracked down viciously on the cultural opportunities (and freedoms generally) available to the Romanian people. In this period he absorbed the influences that filtered through the Iron Curtain from the ‘decadent west’ and local eastern European musical traditions. Cluj had its own prog-rock bands, Cromatic…
Biotop
Originally released in 1981 on Günter Körber’s Sky Records, Biotop marked a radical and irreverent turn in the early discography of Asmus Tietchens, offering a body of work that neither conformed to the pop idioms it mimicked nor fully abandoned the experimental rigor of the German electronic underground. Now rightly recognized as one of the most bizarre and subversive releases of the Neue Deutsche Welle era, Biotop channels ironic play, dissonant structures, and noisy artifice into a sonic worl…
Blue Moon - Original Motion-Picture Sound-Track
Original score to the 1986 Roxy Film Production Blue Moon by Dieter Moebius (of C/Kluster/Harmonia/_ & Roedelius fame...). Nice, if somewhat short selection of synth-themes & pain-relieving sonics. Surprisingly low usage of era sound-producing technologies, although they ARE in there (the DX7 ruined E-Music for an entire generation...). 80's Moebius/Roedelius output is only now starting to ripen w/age, no reason not to enhance your personal selection w/a crate or two of this fine ruby port
In die Nacht
Fourth part in the rerelease series of all early vinyl albums by Asmus Tietchens on CD. This is the third of the SKY albums from 1982 incl. three bonus tracks of unreleased material not included on the original LP. Comes with a poster booklet feat. the original cover artwork. Edition of 1000 copies.Asmus Tietchens »In die Nacht« (Sky Records 077) 1982 To my surprise, SKY ordered a third album from me. For distribution reasons the album had to be finished rather quickly. This presented me with an…
