A landmark coupling of two masters of European post-war modernism! Luciano Berio's Circles (1960), one of his most celebrated works, sets texts by e.e. cummings for soprano, harp, and two percussionists - a virtuosic exploration of phonetic and semantic dimensions performed by the incomparable Cathy Berberian, for whom the work was written. Berio's spatial disposi…

*150 copies limited edition* Richard Youngs is neither a stranger to Fourth Dimension Records or creating music from a disparate array of sources that then fall somewhere near that space where immersive drones converge with something altogether more frayed, ravaged or disquiet. 'Zerkelus', named after an imaginary Babylonian king, comprises two lengthy side-long parts, with the first being akin to something of an extended orchestral tune-up utilising voice, oboe and indiscernible sources to crea…

2025 stock Thought these were long gone, but hey, not so fast! Originally released in 2013, this was Letha's 1st foray into the vinyl game AND her 1st under her own name (as opposed to Tretetam, which she'd been using since 2008). 'Handbook' is a lovely sound pastiche of everyday day life turned inside out. Both ambient & disturbing, her sound distillations are wondrous & hypnotic respites in this suffocating modernity. FFO; Moondog, United Dairies label, John Bender. Very last copies.

Super offer, crazy price! A happening -- maybe one could call it that. Confusional Quartet is one of the most original and unique bands to ever come out of Italy, and one of the few bands able to switch from the prog rock era to dislocated art forms, painting their music with traces of early electronica and a post-punk twist (read: no wave). A bridge linked the band from Bologna (rock) to the musical past and present of the nation, with senses of urgency and creativity on top and a revolutionary…

“I hate all the words” by Luca Scarabelli and Michele Lombardelli’s Untitled Noise, the eight instalments in the celebrated Die Schachtel’s “Decay music” series, is a concept album composed of three tracks designed to explore the remote and hidden depths of psyche: Misery, the awareness; The Time, the suspension of disbelief; and Heaven, the existential atonement through detachment. The sounds and the voice proceed alternately, overlapping, where each, in its progression, asserts itself autonomo…

In 1969 both Anthony Moore and David Larcher were at the start of their respective careers and both were inspired by the ideas of the avant garde and the new technologies becoming available to them. David experimented with the various techniques being explored in the medium of film making and Anthony tested the limits of what could be done with tape recorders. It was an open and co-operative exploration. The results of their first collaboration was the film Mare’s Tail - an unusually long 2:30 h…

Tongues slap and flutes trill! The wild spirit of Dawn the Faun has returned, raising the young in the light of each new day and playing around the fire to welcome back the spirits at night. The bounty and exuberance of NOW, under the eternal skies of yesterday and tomorrow

Dizonord is very happy to bring you the reissue of this French 1988 underground self released gem, re-mastered from master tapes! Dubby, punky, politically engaged new wave with a sense of humour, we've always been touched by the voice of Agnès (bass) and the phlegmatic Michel (machines and graphics). We could have thought the language barrier would have stopped the pleasure of this record but obviously not, as Mobutu song is already an international digger classic! We really hope you'll enjoy t…
