Music and Words (3CD Bundle)
Gathered as a three‑disc bundle, Adam Bohman’s Music and Words series reads like a sprawling, decades‑deep diary of the British underground. Domestic cassette experiments, found‑object acoustics and stream‑of‑conscious monologues mutate across volumes 1–3 into a fiercely idiosyncratic universe where language, noise and everyday detritus share equal weight, turning one man’s tape habit into a major work of experimental autobiography.This Bohman’s Bundle contains:- Music and Words- Music and Words…
Lighthouse
Recorded in 1997, on The Shadow Ring’s return from their final American tour, Lighthouse captures the group at their most stripped-down and visionary. Graham Lambkin’s fractured texts conjure Folkestone’s haunted coastline—Vikings, the Morgawr, a fading Britain, the pull of the sea—under the sway of Alternative TV’s Vibing Up the Senile Man (Part One), the mechanical vernaculars of Robert Ashley, and the deflated humor of Dad’s Army and It Ain’t Half Hot Mum.
Opening the trio’s famed final phase…
War Pur War
On War Pur War, Frieder Butzmann and Thomas Kapielski distill West‑Berlin’s 1980s absurdism into a Dada‑charged clash of electro‑pop and sonic collage. Minimal synth patterns, spoken fragments and everyday noises tangle into a wry, musique‑concrète‑like diary of a city thinking against meaning.
Everyman
Sorry For Laughing is a project by Gordon H. Whitlow who is also a member of legendary US avantgarde collective Biota, formerly Mnemonists or Mnemonist Orchestra. Their music is a mixture of modern classical, experimental sounds, noise, industrial, avangarde, songwriting and free jazz. In 1986 Gordon H. Whitlow released a cassette under the name Sorry For Laughing: "The compositions stem from my beginning days with the avant-garde recording ensemble Biota, shortly after completion of the Bellowi…
Quiet Storm
Space Afrika, the Manchester/Berlin-based duo of Joshua Tarelle Reid and Joshua Inyang, make raw, intensely detailed, visceral music with shades of ambient, trip-hop, techno, and modern classical, drawing spacious urban dubscapes from the contours of their city. 'Quiet Storm', the duo's highly anticipated follow-up to their 2021 LP on Dais Records, expands on its predecessor’s sound and scale in every direction as a sprawling, collaborative vision shaped with profound patience and intention. The…
Parientes De La Vida
577 Records is proud to welcome the adventurous Japanese ensemble K Trio to the label's roster with their remarkable new album, Parientes De La Vida. K Trio reminds us what experimental music can be at its most vital: pure risk, pure discovery, pure adventure. On Parientes De La Vida, poetry and improvised sound meet in a work that continuously reshapes the listener's sense of space, language, and perception.
The album serves as an acoustic document in which poetry reading and spontaneous music…
Party Down the Hall
*50 copies limited edition* Aster are poets and experimental sound makers Alex Keramidas and Catherine Norris. Their practice is informed by perpetual choirs, sacrificial stones and top of the pops, as well as being guided by divination. Party Down the Hall is their first album - a collaboration built on ethereal narratives, samples and melodies, creating invocations for the modern era.“In an apartment in a big old building. It used to be a hotel where people would stay in order to be healed. No…
Âmes Bleues
Without premeditation nor haste, Omertà re-emerges with its third album, Âmes Bleues (Blue Souls), gracefully deepening its own unique furrow, between lyrically rich songs and singular harmonic explorations. After ambling through the Corsican air currents and immersing itself in smoke, Omertà continues to unfold its geographical and sensory music, seemingly finding its reach in the suspension inherent in the subtle tension it produces.
The group expands its sonic palette with soothing and psyche…
Ulykkens Mønt
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Wonderful collaboration between guitar-duo Yngel and author Rasmus Daugbjerg. A chest filled with stories, sounds and songs. About trolls, kings, moons and wolves. About care and disgust, loss and friendship.
American Psyche
Ella Fitzgerald meets Gangsta Rap and the Beach Boys encounter their despotic father. American Psyche by Raymond Pettibon & Oliver Augst is an ABC of Jazz standards and nostalgia on speed, "that the world will never forget."

Présence Humaine
On the occasion of famous French writer Michel Houellebecq's new album release, Tricatel reveals a special edition of his cult first album Présence Humaine, in a blue vinyl limited edition. The album has been arranged and produced by Bertrand Burgalat, who is also the music composer of the album.
Magneto Mori: Brussels
*2026 stock* "One way to interpret Vernon’s evocation of Brussels is as a patchwork of interdependent absences. We hear numerous spoken stories, yet none of them in full; details are lost to magnetic erasure, to the truncations of compositional editing, to the recollective limits of fallible minds. A voice hesitates as it recounts an early memory of falling. Another falters into damaged tape as it describes a trip into the forest, words sunken irretrievably under disruptive plosives. Into these …
Extracellular
On Extracellular, Hidden Horse, Sophie Sleigh-Johnson, Johnny Richards & Dave King, Domotic, Revbjelde, Saïph, Oh Mr James, Secluded Bronte, Time Attendant, Etceteral, Dolly Dolly & Fogroom and Gong Girl plug into the “space between cells”, trading signals as pulsing electro, splintered jazz, industrial dub and spoken ritual fuse into a single, buzzing nervous system.
La vera storia di una macchina inventata
"La Vera Storia di una Macchina Inventata" is a conceptual album built as a surreal sonic narrative. Conceived as a continuous journey rather than a collection of tracks, the album tells the story of an “useless machine” and its inventors, moving through exhibition halls, highways, rest stops and imaginary radio stations. The project was born from an intense period of collective research by Metameccanici, a trio formed by Angelo Trabace, Alessandro Trabace and Sebastiano De Gennaro. Working betw…
What If We Align Our Breath
Pioneering Swiss trombonist and composer Andreas Tschopp marries contemporary jazz with South African horns and homemade ocarinas, creating a record quite unlike anything you've heard before. "What if We Align Our Breath" disregards the curvature of borders, genre, and time itself - tugging a thread through the history of wind instrumentation with ghostly agility.
At the heart of the record lie spiralling, bonelike kudu (antelope) horns - instruments that have lent their stirring calls to indige…
Elektronische Musik (LP)
1963 introduction to electronic music with samples realized from 1952 at the WDR electronic music studio by its founder and mentor to Karlheinz Stockhausen, released on Wergo's great "Studio Reihe Neuer Musik" experimental music series. With insert.
Through Global Frequency
At the beginning of this journey, I had no clear idea of what I was getting into. What started as a simple poem, with embedded audio links referencing a selection of recordings I had made over the past few years and published on Metalabel and my website, eventually evolved into a video project designed as a proposal for an installation. Ultimately, it culminated in this music album.
I am incredibly grateful for the amazing voice recordings that friends and family from all over the world sent me,…
Collapsing Tape: Experiments in Rupture and Repair
"Collapsing Drums tells the stories that matter in a post-pandemic world" - The Wire Collapsing Tape is a sprawling 23 track compilation which celebrates 5 years of the Collapsing Drums label via a diverse pool of artists working across experimental music. It’s really hard to condense the amount of sounds going on in the 90 minutes — but here’s a brief attempt: there’s abstract vocal play (Elaine Mitchener), warm squishy electronics (Luke Sanger), frenetic turntablism (Mariam Rezaei and Dali de …
Amelia
On Amelia, Laurie Anderson turns Amelia Earhart’s final flight into a 22-part dream-report: chamber strings, electronics and spoken word trace a route from Oakland to disappearance, where navigation data, weather reports and ghostly lullabies fold into one drifting, time-bent monologue.
