Orion Music Versions
Tip! Tip! Tip! Just after the summer post-rock madness of “The Window” in their band HWYUIOD, Shelter & Orion are back with dub versions of Orion Music Workshop’s previous records. Deconstructed or reconstructed in an industrial, post-punk aesthetic, recalling whole On-U Sound golden age (Adrian Sherwood, Mark Stewart, African Head Charge…) as well as Craig Leon, Sheriff Lindo… and more.
Musiikki 2
*2025 stock* Mahti are a Finnish four-piece group presenting a unique mixture of ambient-rock, electronic music and traditional Finnish-Karelian music.
Lengthy semi-improvisational pieces are built on top of complex, hypnotic grooves which are layered with opaque guitars and strangely soothing noise elements. In the heart of it all there's kantele, an ancient Finnish string instrument played by Hannu Saha, who has studied Finnish folk music in theory and practice for nearly five decades.

Le telescope de la mort
Composed of 7 tracks, which oscillate between post-medieval melodies, ghost-
wave and future music of the 70s... Their universe resembles a soaring
soundtrack, the kind of German TV movie that ends well but from which you can
never really escape.
Zmet & Discipline of the Blasted Bridges
For sure not one of the best known acts from Russia, but a must have for connoisseurs and scene specialists!
Turning Shadow Into Transient Beauty

The songs on this album – because they are actually songs, not …
Ascension
*180 copies limited edition* Venice Affair seeks only to give humans a look into their own lives, history, suffering, and peace, all while providing a backbeat sprinkled with sexuality, romanticism, and especially entertainment. The concept of “Ascension” is much larger than a description of upward motion; it is the human description of our evolution from four to two, from caves to high rises, from child to elder, and from stardust to flesh. This collection of songs has been in the works since 2…
Porno Incubo
*170 copies limited edition* As is now a well-established tradition, when 7 appears in the catalogue number it is the turn of handyman Asymmetrical. The title takes its inspiration from a tag that appeared in the bathroom of the historical Knick Knack Yoda after one of the (in)usual nights, and is a leap in time, a project born from the layering of different sessions that took place between 2018 and 2020 and only sees the light of day today. 7 is also the number of inches of PVC on which this do…
Watson Is In Heaven Now
*50 copies limited edition* Watson was my Dog, we had him from a puppy, he chose us and can be heard through out these recordings. If you listen carefully you’ll hear him sniffing microphones, squeaking toys and barking in the garden. All caught whilst recording the different instruments that layers and weave themselves into the palettes that make the up the pieces. I even captured his breathing on my lap the last time he laid there. Some of the recordings started life over 30 years ago and with…
Own Affairs
"This is an album made during a crucial period in South Africa’s history during which there was a palpable feeling of a slow turning towards the collapse of the apartheid state side by side with an increasingly well-organised culture of resistance through the formation of the United Democratic Front (UDF) and various affiliated bodies. However, as a result, there was increased pushback from the state security establishment, a turning to dirty tricks and the formation of hit squads Whose members …
In The Breeze
A more than welcomed re-issue for the iconic post-punk band coming all the way from Watford. The album showcase a collection of unreleased recordings – mostly conceived between 1981 and 1983 – and it is a right companion to their two studio masterpiece: "Epic Garden Music" and "Feeding The Flames".
Paysages Du Temps
Denis Frajerman started as composer in the French experimental band Palo Alto. With a strong interest in literature and orality as a musician, he collaborates regularly with storytellers and writers for radio sessions, oratorios, or records.
Strongly linked to the work of Antoine Volodine, his first solo album, Les Suites Volodine was directly influenced by his writings. They both share a taste for haunting atmospheres, black humor, witchcraft. Volodine and Frajerman also worked on creations, D…
Baby, It's Cold Inside
'The fun years', comprised of multi-instrumentalists Ben Recht and Isaac Sparks, have been making music together since the turn of the century, producing intriguing interrogations of ambient, drone, post-rock, and turntablism. Originally released in 2008 on the now-defunct Barge Recordings, 'baby it’s cold inside' is perhaps the high watermark of their discography. Equally concerned with microtonal nuance and harmonic intensity, it is both a product of its time and something well past it. The ch…
Starlight
Julius Smack engages in a dialogue with a fictional AI assistant to create an album using the prompt, “Make an album that tells the story about the origins of Julius Smack.” Starlight emerges as the imagined response, envisioning a world where beauty and violence intertwine, and memories and dreams are excavated to craft stories.
In a near-future Earth, where artists are among the planet’s last inhabitants, a symbiotic relationship has formed between humans and AI—each relying on the other for n…
Stand Before Me, Oh My Soul
A Silent Place proudly presents the remastered reissue of one of the most eclectic and iconic Fabio Orsi album, recorded and produced between Taranto and Berlin in 2009-2010.
Didactics of the Prepared and Amplified Drumset
*2025 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Pascal Lopinat's prepared and amplified drumset, with which he has been experimenting and touring for a few years now, can seem very intimidating at first: a minimalist drumset, intricately wired effect pedals, loud amplifiers, loads of small microphones and a drummer in the middle of it all.
This album aims to elaborate on this setup and the process of its sound creation. The album consists of 27 musical ideas based on different combinations of instrumen…
Herzmuskelgewebe 2
A pivotal reissue of K2's seminal 1984 cassette "Herzmuskelgewebe," capturing Kimihide Kusafuka's earliest experimental noise explorations. This long-awaited vinyl edition preserves a raw, formative document from Japanese noise history, showcasing the K2's initial sonic dissections during his crucial first creative phase.
Estradas
2025 Small repress. Drummer-composer and multi-instrumentalist Valentina Magaletti’s explorative percussions join Afro-Portuguese artist Nídia’s singular beat-making for an exciting new collaboration in dance music. From the first beat, listeners are drawn into a world where rhythm reigns supreme and movement is inevitable. The album explores a diverse yet universal musical language through syncopated drum patterns, pulsating marimba lines, and melodic interludes.
Damaged Future
**Edition of 100** Unlike the electro-acoustic suite “Combustion” which inaugurated the catalog of Anomala Soundscapes in the split album together with Daniele Pecorelli, Mark Schaub’s new work develops on various levels articulating between very dissimilar styles and sounds. The trait d’union between these short compositions is the attempt to recreate the apocalyptic scenarios of Ballard in music, an author so dear to a certain industrial culture that here once again he returns to the center of…
Color of Time II
*200 copies limited edition* Past Inside the Present is proud to begin its summer slate with a new, full-length suite from Color of Time, the duo comprising label veterans Kévin Séry (aka From Overseas) and Nick Turner (aka Tyresta). Each artist is known for his own kind of spacious, heart-rending drone, and on II, they occupy a sonic universe in which melancholy themes linger over drifts of harmonic guitar and arrays of intricate detail. The delicacy of these environments results from a passion…
