Dis Qu't'as Tort
*300 copies limited edition* "Dis qu’t’as tort" is the latest venture from Tagubu (Denis Tagu, formerly of Hellebore, Look De Bouk, and Toupidek Limonade), realised in collaboration with Klimperei (Christophe Petchanatz, known for his work with Pierre Bastien, David Fenech, and Palo Alto, among others).

This rare vinyl edition - limited to 200 copies - reveals an uncompromising researcher of prehistoric sound working at her most intimate and visionary best.

Opera
The experimental landmark Opera by FNTC returns in a remastered CD edition, nearly forty years after its original cassette release on Staalplaat in 1987. A striking document of Europe's late 80s cassette underground, Opera captures the collective at their most adventurous - merging spontaneous composition, sound collage and performance art into a single immersive experience. As a member of the Fluxus movement, Willem de Ridder brought his conceptual sensibility to the project, pushing the bounda…
Live At Teater Tribunalen
Huge Tip! ** Edition of 300.** The long overdue first proper jazz album on Discreet Music! After years of releasing experimental electronics, drone, and avant-garde sound art, the Swedish label finally documents what's been happening in their own backyard: ferocious, life-elevating free jazz performed by three of Sweden's leading improvisers. Niklas Persson Trio - saxophonist Niklas Persson, double bassist Patric Thorman, and drummer Raymond Strid - started ten years ago on Thorman's initiative.…
Standing / Engraving
Standing / Engraving by Jean D.L. is a meditative suite where solo guitar sketches and field recordings fold into a chiaroscuro of memory and texture. Drawing from experimental folk and nocturnal ambient, the album patiently sculpts sound and silence into subtle vignettes, inviting the listener into an immersive domain of reflection and suspended time.
Pièces Monophoniques
Pièces Monophoniques by Marc Melià transforms reduction into revelation. Composed using a single analog monophonic synthesizer, it unfolds nine meditative studies on tone, silence, and resonance. The result is a luminous work where simplicity becomes substance, and constraint opens a portal to emotion and timeless stillness.
Jaw Guzzi
Jaw Guzzi is the ninth LP Melted Men have released since 1995. This is reportedly the year they formed, but as with all Melted Things, there is little hard information to back this up. Like an earlier experimental 'rock' band from Northern California (by way of Louisiana), Melted Men have embraced something akin to Nigel Senada'sTheory of Obscurity. Facts regarding the band's details are smudgy at best, and that's the way they like it. About all I could get out my contact for the group is that t…
Soul Chateau
2025 stock No shortage of dune buggy up the canyon honey slide action here. The first tinges of sonic solvent action provide a loosened effect, but just as the tongue gets lazy, the swagger is spat gently from the tip as clarity bursts into the room with the urgency a hungry baby. Delicate without feeling soft. Brash without feeling harsh and at times Dimples swing fucking hard, like JJ and Leon without forcing it one bit. But if you don't like 'new music' this might not be your cuppa. Soul Chat…
1972
*300 copies limited edition* "A meeting of minds across continents, 1972 unites two underground visionaries: Anla Courtis, the Argentine experimentalist known for his boundary-pushing work with Reynols, and Jussi Lehtisalo, the Finnish avant-rock architect behind Circle, Pharaoh Overlord, and Ektro Records. Their collaboration unfolds as an abstract, free-flowing dialogue — an exercise in sonic alchemy where the hypnotic collides with the microtonal. Born in Buenos Aires, Courtis has spent decad…
Construction of a Planet
Light Sounds Dark proudly presents Construction of a Planet, a visionary sonic journey that challenges the boundaries of experimental sound and ambient exploration.

Hedoro
** Limited edition of 300 copies. Includes an insert, download code and a UE sticker. ** Ōgon Batto is an exercise in patience; indeed, a model of restraint in these trying times. Although a fixture of the Belgian underground for over a decade (as part of the Hare Akedod label and band, the latter with DSR Lines’ David Edren), Bent Von Bent has released just two albums thus far. A scroll through ‘Browse’ reveals a series of miniature compositions — bite-size psychedelic treats, a sequence of im…
