AmiciMiei
Music taken from the experimental film led by visual artists Mark Pozlep and Maxime Berthou, released in 2023. The new compositions by French electronic producer Julien Jabre illustrate the artistic performance of the Franco-Slovenian duo. Julien Jabre’s music intertwines with the film's evocative imagery to portray an America between two crises: the project, which involved descending the Mississippi on board a homemade steamboat, began a few months after one of the largest floods in the United …

From the top of the Hobgoblin's hat and the bottom of Snufkin's satchel, original Moomin's composer Graeme Miller (The Carrier Frequency) kindly shares …
Midnight Skin OST

Plastic Alice
Earlier today I was listening to some music I’d made a few years ago. The only way I can describe it is that it sounded like the music of a dead person. I can’t explain it better than that. It sounded as if I was already dead. If I’m honest, sometimes I think I’m already dead, and that whatever this is – my life, my experiences ‘from the inside’ – is just the temporary afterglow of something else. If I suddenly began to evaporate from the feet up, it wouldn’t surprise me. It would make perfect s…
Cornos
A more upfront and streamlined proposition than last year's 'Dias da Aranha' on Souk, 'Cornos' is a reflection of Serpente's solo live apparitions throughout this last year. A cycle tainted by tragedies and a maze-like feeling of loss, 'Cornos' mirrors both the urge of overcoming and its ghostly remnants through five digressions that pulsate with crippled rhythmic symmetries and loner harmonic motifs. Maybe just the sound of moving on with broken legs.
Quimai
*100 copies limited release* Ambient heads will likely be fully aware of the soporific charms of this cult classic album from Toshimi Mikami. It was written in the 90s and has been released a couple of times on CD since then but is pretty hard to find in any format. Thankfully Night Rhythms now presents a first-time vinyl edition in pink with great artwork and liner notes. The music was originally intended as a soundtrack to gentle activities such as yoga and Tai Chi but has a superbly relaxing …

As kids obsessed with Dungeons & Dragons, the members of the Gnoll ensemble played intensely "The Lost City" by Tom Moldvay, one of the first and unforgettable adventure modules produced by TSR for D&D; after 30 years those same kids have rekindled their torches and ret…
Earthwave
Earthwave is Zak Riles’ (Grails/Watter) follow-up to his eponymous debut CD released on Important Records in 2008, a cinematic ascent through dark space, volatile illumination, reflection and refraction. Recorded during the pandemic—when Riles took refuge in his rural Kentucky studio, providing remote engineering work for groups like Sleep, Om, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, Mono, and Joan Shelley—it’s a monumental exploration of his enduring interest in late '70s/early '80s instrumental electronic and …
Wrath Of The Ultimate Barbarian
“You are the last survivor of a tribe of fierce barbarians. The evil Death Viper has slaughtered your people with deception and his thugs. You are the only survivor: now you are the last of the barbarians in your lineage and thirst for revenge!”
"Silver Sword, the Wrath of the Ultimate Barbarian" is the name of a video game designed in Japan in 1990 for the 16-bit Vortex console. Due to issues related to the bankruptcy of the software house - a sub-label of Taito - the game never saw market rele…
The Horse Stories
At the top of a carpeted staircase in a Georgian country home a blue wooden rocking horse stands completely still in front of a closed window with a view out onto the green hills and trees and fields beyond. A child rides a stationary wooden horse and travels to faraway places without ever leaving the security of his room. The movement of a rocking horse is similar to that of a cradle, or a swing, or a lullaby. Its about being quiet, its about balance, its about being at home and thinking of els…
The Interconscious Catalogue
*2023 stock. 300 copies limited edition* "Buyer beware: I am not sure I have fully recovered from listening to Reznick’s latest offering. Felt like some malignant entity was chaperoning me through a madness-inducing mindscape... immersive, confident and consistently surprising.” - Larry Fessenden
Celestial Shores

The recording presented here was made in the last week of that year and mixed soon after in January 2022. These recordings are essentially li…

La Pastorale Del Destino (The Pastoral Of Doom)
In September 1986, the first comic book dedicated to the character of Tomas Caine was released; it was entitled "La Pastorale del Destino" (The Pastoral of Doom). It could have been one of the many comic books that filled the shelves of the Italian newsstands of those years, but it wasn't like that: the success of Tom Caine was extraordinary. Balancing horror atmospheres typical of the time, irreverent irony, and love stories, Tomas Caine immediately met the tastes of the young Italians of the 8…
