Bottle breaking heart leap
Limited dition of 250 on 180gm black vinyl.

Since then they have worked extensively as a duo, periodically expanding to form trios with Matthew Sperry (bass), Miya Masaoka (koto), Derek Bailey (guitar), Thomas Lehn (synth) and, most recently, The Apophonics with John Edwards (bass).

Remixed to stereo for this release, Tcherepnin's trio of works combine analog synthesizer recordings and other instrumental sources with field recordings captured during the artists' travels to Turkey and Georgia.

Cut And Bleed (Sounds From Ehtiopian Metal & Korean Gongs)
very very few copies restocked, act fast! Ideal label once requested a cassette to percussionist Paal Nilssen-Love, and with the help of Lasse Marhaug he recorded a rich and dynamic album, far from his typical crude approach, this one is intense and meditative. \"The title says it all. We asked Paal Nilssen-Love to make us a cassette release. He called his pal Lasse Marhaug and his tape deck and he recorded these two pieces over at Paal\'s place in Oslo. It ended up being simply amazing, dee…
A Quiet Place In The Country
The missing link in the Morricone / Gruppo discography. Their original unreleased avant / cacophonic score to Elio Petri's manic Artsploitation masterpiece was the first and last time Morricone and Il Gruppo would co-sign an OST/session. Conducted by Bruno Nicolai with vocalisations by Edda Dell’Orso and drums by Vincenzo Restuccia, A Quiet Place In The Country is an historic (and quite forgotten) recording that sees Il Gruppo in their key gestational phase just prior to recordings for Deut…
Odyssee
Finally Restocked!! Milestone reissue! A really well-titled collection, featuring legendary albums such as "Prismes" and "Futuristie" – given that it features the most important steps in the long musical journey of Pierre Henry – easily one of the most important electronic musicians of the 20th Century! The package offers a heck of a lot of amazing music for the price – and is very heavy on Pierre Henry's crucial 60s recordings – including both his analogue grooves, and his much more abstra…

Eroina
There are still so many treasures to be discovered out there, but once you find a gem like this you can definitely put the research on hold for a little while and give it a deep listen. Recorded at Fono Roma in 1971, Eroina is a series of haunting improvisations - each one inspired by the effects of a different drug - made of whirling electronic glitches, skronky horns, pounded piano, funky drums and weird tape experiments delivering the best drone/spaced/drugged out free jazz performed b…

In addition to echoing the extraordinary vitality of musical experim…

Decant/Churn
Fierce new two-track 12" from Metasplice. A couple of very well-timed destroyers on here. Bringing premium "outsider techno" onto this insider label. In a time when techno and abstract music is sounding repetitive, Metasplice continue to utilize unconventional sounds and arrangements. "Decant", being the more floor oriented track, combines groovy bits that turn into splashing immense noises and harmonies.

L'Uomo Dagli Occhi Di Ghiaccio
Originally released on 'cult' Pegaso promotional label, "The Man With Icy Eyes" soundtrack was pressed on very few copies like all Pegaso editions 'out of commerce', becoming a truly sought-after gem among record collectors of the genre. Trombonist and arranger Giuseppe De Luca, who died shortly after, wrote this magnificent score in 1971, ripping off the main theme from "Lady In Cement" by Hugo Montenegro from the same year. The high music in here is played by the Marc 4 (Maurizio Majorana…

'Profondità' is a double LP of strongly progressive and psychedelic tunes with space, underwater, intimate and rarefied atmospheres. Full of the kind of technicolour psychedelics you expect by a Floyd-…
African Electronic Music 1975-1982
CD version. Cameroonian musician Francis Bebey is truly one of a kind. He entered the music scene with his African compositions for classical guitar. He gave recitals while pursuing a career in journalism and then as an international civil servant. The same creative impulse also led him to write pop songs, some of which (based on novels he had written) became big hits in Africa and in the French-speaking world. But few people know that in the '70s, Francis Bebey delved into electronic mus…

Presented here with previously unpressed tracks as an alternative to the extremely rare 1973 Gemelli library edition, this Finders Keepers special release in…
