Heures sans Soleil
Restocked, reduced price. 180-gram LP version. "The compilation album Heures sans Soleil was originally released in October 1985 in an edition of 1000 copies.

I Have Left You the Mountain
"This 'translation' of absence through song is called këngë kurbeti, migration song. Its drone-based polyphonic form is prominent south of the river Shkumbin—in an area that includes Vlorë and other villages from which thousands of Albanians have left their motherland. These songs, which are part of a shared Mediterranean polyphonic tradition, are unique in their vitality as a life-affirming everyday practice and in their surviving modes of transmission, a fact that was acknowledged prominently …

An Album Of Musical Radionic Thought Frequencies
Daniel Wilson's Radionics Radio project draws upon the fringe-science of radionics, with its invisible forces and psychic resonances, to spawn electroacoustic and electronic compositions employing very alternative tuning systems.
