It was recorded andmixed partially in Chantepie (France), Brisbane (Australia), Kotka, Helsinki and Turku (Finland). Muuton Koto's music is a colourful psychedelic folk; with a mix of sweet …
Taurus
**75 copies** Rabid trio blasting out some smash and grab free muzak voodoo with deformed, blown-out grooves and brooding, midnight atmospheres that give you the same high-torque hairdryer treatment as you would get sat in the front row at a Cairo Free Jazz Ensemble gig or listening to a Vermonster LP full blast in a shipping container. Unsettling as it is invigorating, layers upon layers of elastic electronics and graceful keys lurking around - spectators to the reoccurring elephant seal deathm…

Magnetic Domain
2025 stock ** "Alberto Picchi is the man behind Ambascha, and had this not been mentioned on the information that came with this release, I would not have recognized his name as one of the members of Italy's VipCancro. In that group he plays electronics, which is something that he also does on his solo release. The cover lists 'BK function generator, Korg MS10 filter bank, deck, tapes & pedals'. "His work is inspired by unity of opposites theory applied in a sound context and is focused on digit…

Further West Quad Cult LP
Prefigured by the inclusion of a secret extra pocket in the original packaging of Far West (IMPREC 386CD/LP, 2013), this painstakingly crafted complimentary LP is intended for synced playback with that release. With two turntables or other playback devices, the listener can experience fully unique quad playback. Further West Quad Cult LP offers deeper journeys into the cave where the self dissolves. It also stands alone as an inverted Far West universe, and the listener is invited to enjoy it…

Furamingo Josei
** Edition of 300 copies on black vinyl *+ This hidden gem - likely recorded sometime in the mid 2000's around the time they made "Qvaris", according to what NNCK's Pat Murano remembers - is another astonishing output of Harlem's seven-member free-form improvisational collective. A luminous string sprung from their collectively trepanned third eyes that will put the listener in an altered state of consciousness as erratically respirating freeform freakouts and lumbering ragas disintegrate and sp…
