This Old Man
Originally released on vinyl in 1975 by Dimension 5, Bruce's own label. This Re-Issue is the first time 'This Old Man' has been released on vinyl since then! Now, sounding even more brilliant than ever - all the tracks have been Re-Mastered by Kramer. Text from the Original Release: ‘Created and Totally Performed by Bruce Haack’. ‘An Electronic Musical-Poetic treat for Elementary and High School-People revealing more wonders of our Earth Ship.’ 'Most of the music on this album was programmed o…
Moon Beams
Mesh-Key is thrilled to announce a deluxe, expanded reissue of Moon Beams by Tokyo visionaries, Tsuki No Wa.
Schokolino Choco Loco
"As I sit down to pen these words for Stilluppsteypa's latest vinyl release on the enigmatic Futura Resistenza label, I find myself jumping back a year or two, reminded of the profound impact this Icelandic ensemble has had on the northern landscape of experimental arts for four decades. Emerging in the early 1990s, Stilluppsteypa began their journey as a punk-oriented band with multiple members. However, their insatiable curiosity for the unconventional soon led them to explore more abstract an…
Trunculence
2008 7" compilation of 100 locked-grooves by some 60 artists including Nurse With Wound, in 10" sleeve released in an edition of 333 copies on red vinyl. With insert.
Chronopée (2)
2006 release ** "Composing in three phases: First step: the recording of concrete sounds is relentless and the pleasure of caption is incredible and constantly renewed. The stronger the enthusiasm of the initial recording is, more interesting the sounds are once treated. The stronger the echo of that instant is, upon listening, the more musical the variations are. Second step: Transforming this raw sound matter through audio-digital processing and noting the time during which it becomes somethin…
Mimir
2007 release ** "Jim O'Rourke first joined Mimir for Mimyriad in 1992. It was completed and released as the first Streamline CD in 1993. In 1998, a radically remixed and re-edited version was issued as a limited edition Streamline LP. This new CD release contains a remastered version of the Mimyriad LP material and comes in a reworked and updated package. '...peering down, he tried to gauge how close he might be drifting to solid ground, but the darkness made it impossible to judge. He found him…
Mimir
2007 release ** "A completely remixed/reworked version of the first Mimir album which was originally recorded between 1989/'90 and released in 1991: Edward Ka-spel, Andreas Martin, Silverman and Christoph Heemann concentrate on a variety of analog synths and Krautrock guitars: '...immediately after he caught sight of the lights marking the town, he pressed the ejection button and felt himself flung upward with a greater violence than he had expected. For a moment he was enveloped in darkness; th…
Blue Mountains
One day Hannes told me he had a new band with Christian that would more or less sound like Spacemen 3 / Stereolab "but not all at the same time" (!). When I received these tracks, after some initial acid noise and a piece that sounds like Suicide with the computer crashing, I gradually recognized the salty scent of the purest south Scandinavian spleen, updated to the anguish of current times. Line up expanded to include members of the Australian band Low Life for the occasion!
Låt Oss Vada Genom All Ängslan Tillsammans
Huge Tip! Originally released on Förlag För Fri Musik back in 2015, now finally reissued on Discreet Music. A very important piece in the Gothenburg-puzzle and the milieu around acts like Amateur Hour, Blod, Leda, Arv & Miljö and Sewer Election that eventually culminated in Discreet Music. Recorded in Gothenburg, winter 2014, by Dan Johansson, Sofie Herner, Gustaf Dicksson and Hugo Randulv. The new edition stays true to the original release with identical hand assembled cover sleeves in varying …
The Persistence Of Memory (Early Tapes 1990-1993)
Palo Alto is a French group formed in Paris, France in 1989 by Jacques Barbéri, Denis Frajerman, Philippe Masson and Philippe Perreaudin. In their early interviews the group insisted on their musical filiation with Tuxedomoon, and on drawing their inspiration from Made to Measure, a Crammed Discs label. They would later make explicit their interest in bands such as Art Zoyd, The Legendary Pink Dots, Coil, The Residents, Can or Cabaret Voltaire. Science fiction in all its forms is a leitmotiv in …
One (CDr)
2010 release ** "Jim Campbell (aka the preterite) is a turntapelist, for lack of a better term. Inspired by proponents of experimental work with vinyl, early tape and concrete music, Cagean chance practices and both cosmic and free music, the Berlin-based American artist built a one-of-a-kind instrument out of relics of the tape age, his “cassette scratch orchestra”, composed of cast-off phrase trainers, original effects, a re-purposed and prepared analog cassette multitracker and piles of found…
Stray Shafts Of Sunlight
2013 release ** "Three pieces recorded live in 2007 but just released. Ultra-quiet approach of electroacoustic improvisation. Guionnet on sax and microphones, La Casa on microphones and laptop, Samartzis on laptop and electronics. All three also play (with) silence. Each sonic intervention is delicated set in relation with what is (and is not) around it. Three sound stories with a thin yet consistent abstract narrative."
IIN
2012 release ** "Darius Ciuta, Lithuanian architect, sound artist, born 1966, is an artist that definitely can not be pigeonholed for the marketing purposes of narrative and aesthetic unidrectional coherence, although if you stand between and shuffle through his work you will find a labyrinth of communicating vessels. His works explore continuously new alphabets spectrums, building an intricate vocabulary of frequencies and densities as translations and transformations (exchange between sound a…
You Never End
You Never End is the third album from Valentina Magaletti, Tom Halstead and Joe Andrews (Moin) out via AD 93 on the 25th October. Its title alone expresses the teetering and shifting nature of both the album and band. This record marks the Moin’s shift into a new phase with vocal collaborations across the album from Olan Monk, james K, Coby Sey and Sophia Al-Maria.
The album’s collaborators all have voices that are alluring in their own right whilst hard to pin down: from james K’s ethereal, rev…
Snakinist Sand Form / No Jaw Nite Rights
Tip! Long, long overdue reissue of this gem from the depths of The Skaters dreamweaving dimension, released as a limited tape through Spencer Clark's Pacific City imprint back in 2008. Comprising a period of extreme and vital activity for both Clark as Monopoly Child Star Searchers and Black Joker and his kindred spirit James Ferraro under his own name - 'Marble Surf' or 'Discovery' - and a myriad of identities like Liquid Metal or Edward Flex, this split finds these intrepid explorers on each s…
Camouflage Heart
* Clear vinyl edition. Edition of 500 * Cindytalk is the mercurial, expressionist outlet of Scottish artist Cinder. An evolution of her early 1980s Edinburgh-based punk band The Freeze, she launched the project upon moving to London, inspired by the crossroads of exploratory UK post-punk and early European industrial. Her work thrives on chance and transformation, collaging elements of noise, balladry, soundtrack, catharsis, and improvisation. After a series of celebrated albums for the Midnigh…
I - VI
2011 release (RARE) ** Limited edition of 100 hand-numbered copies. "‘A Guide for Reason’ was how Ptolemais of Cyrene, a musicologist from over 2,000 years ago no less, saw the role of perception or sensory experience in sparking a more theoretical compositional process, perhaps suggesting that the work presented here is primarily sensual, designed to inspire the listener to form their own narratives. Meanwhile the often lengthy track titles all seem to be aphorisms optimistically guiding the li…
Quique Redux
Tip! Beggars Arkive have announced the release of Seefeel - Quique (Redux), a remaster and first ever vinyl pressing of the redux edition of the groundbreaking 1993 album, originally released on Too Pure. Releasing on 28 March, the product is available on 2xCD and 4x vinyl, with the latter housed in a special slipcase with newly imaged artwork. A remastered reissue of the standard version of Quique will be available everywhere on vinyl. Seefeel's Quique emerged in 1993 on the Too Pure label, ble…
Edge Games
Although Berlin-based musical seekers Jules Reidy and Sam Dunscombe are friends who’ve worked together in numerous contexts over the last decade or so, Edge Games is their first, long overdue collaborative album. Over two expansive, mind-bending excursions the former’s microtonal guitar lines are woven into a gorgeously unstable mass of synthesis, field recordings, and clarinet produced by the latter, but it’s important to note that the recording process was deeply collaborative, with a rigorous…
Europe in Flames
200 copies. CD wallet with 8 page booklet including photos from a scrapbook, found in Willem de Ridder’s archive. The word Fanatic comes from the Latin fanum, temple. A fanatic is someone possessed, by God or the Devil. From 1985 until 1989 Willem de Ridder, Hessel Veldman, Cora Emens and Nick Nicole were the members of post-art ensemble Fanatic (or later FNTC). Willem and Hessel already worked together in the late 70s and early 80s on various radio shows and performed with musicians like Alvin …
