Miszellen
After more than ten years of making music with turntables, tapes and loops the swiss based musician, artist, performer and architect Christoph Hess started in 1998 the project Strotter Inst. to concentrate just on the manipulation of turntables not using any records or sounds made by someone or something else. Strotter Inst.rument's machineries have dual roles as objects and as instruments. The first live impact is as installations, then the sounds start to grab the listeners' attention. The aud…
The All Most Quiet
Anyone who has experienced Swans live on one of their recent tours will know who Norman Westberg is: the almost stoic, tall man, who coaxes rhythmic sounds from his guitar with an incomparably minimalist power and elegance. The play on words in the title can be applied to Westberg's own musical work, because whereas Swans are hard to surpass in terms of brute force, the artist's solo work is much more subtle, and therefore also quieter. The resulting juxtaposition between the dense metropolis of…
Toilet Chant
**300 copies, white vinyl** "Toilet Chant was originally released back in 2004, in an edition of 99 numbered CDrs that each featured a no doubt highly collectable thumbprint / shitstain (Massimo and Pierce were, of course, no strangers to the base and scatological). Despite its more deviant, transgressive, and earthbound trappings, however, Toilet Chant is actually quite a complex and otherworldly suite of songs. In fact, parts of it are legitimately brilliant. Hallow Ground seem to have valiant…
Dies Juvenalis
**300 copies** "Enchanted, curdled and chiming avant-techno rituals by the Italian Coil affiliates. The musicians and performance artists Pierce and Massimo aka Black Sun Productions initially acquired renown in the noughties with their impressive stage performances at Coil live shows. With Dies Juvenalis, the duo have served up a captivating concept album. The album opens with a reflection on one's own perception (Percettive Riflessioni), which sets an unusually upbeat tone for the duo. Pierce …

Plays Stefan Goldmann's Ghost Hemiola
Turntablist and sound artist Maria Chavez turns in her first continuous full-length audio work. Plays Stefan Goldmann's Ghost Hemiola is a DJ mix CD that doesn't feature any tracks. It is a remix of a work whose original doesn't feature recorded sound. It is a minimalistic yet complex electroacoustic work, literally built from scratch, bootstrapping sound out of sheer silence: creatio ex nihilio.The story of this album starts with a record given to Chavez as a birthday present. It is Stefan Gold…

Templo del sonido
**500 copies** A few years ago I had this crazy idea... Why not ask Obnox aka Lamont "Bim" Thomas to make a free jazz record? After seeing him on tour playing drums with Cleveland out-rock legends X_X, I just had to try and make it happen. Bim, who is no stranger to making out-there genre defying records, surprised me a bit by happily agreeing. It seems a bit of a cliche to try and get rock people to make jazz records, or jazz folks to make rock records, but what the hell? Of all people, Obnox s…
Drolleries
Saxophone jazz deviant Sam Weinberg joins with refugees from thrash jazz agent Little Women — Andrew Smiley, guitar; Jason Nazary, drums — to form a new trio, Bloor. It’s wild, acerbic and even a bit mathematical... Similar to the electric guitar-based free jazz units like Many Arms and Matta Gawa. Their new album Drolleries comprise of ten performances that are concise and never overlong. In contrast to another Weinberg project, W-2, there’s at least a sense of premeditated composition (seven o…
You'll Never Come Back
This is Thirsty Moon's second album on the famous German label Brain, originally released in 1973. Despite the fact that their first album is accepted as a classic, many progressive rock fans consider You'll Never Come Back the band's best effort. On this album Thirsty Moon developed their unique sound. Not many other bands managed to capture the true character of acid-rock and placed it so effectively in a jazz-rock format. Thirsty Moon's sound is a mirror ball of images surrounding the listene…

Pieces (Soundtrack) Lp
"You do not have to go to Texas for a chainsaw massacre!" The soundtrack for cult slasher movie Pieces (1982) is now available for the first time ever on vinyl. A plot filled with so many holes it's impossible to follow, chainsaws cutting heads left and right, downright terrible acting, hilariously absurd scenes, and a brilliant soundtrack -- Pieces is exactly what you think it is: one of the best movies ever made! Praised by the likes of Eli Roth (Hostel (2005), Inglourious Basterds (2009), Gri…
Spectra Ex Machina: A Sound Anthology of Occult Phenomena
"Have a gramophone in every grave..." --James Joyce, Ulysses (1922) The anthology Spectra Ex Machina brings together rare documents pertaining to so-called occult phenomena, most of them taken from little-known archives. In the course of three volumes, this series traces an audio history of parapsychology through the exploration of spiritualism and haunted houses (Vol. 1); musician mediums (vol. 2); experiences of extrasensory perceptions (clairvoyance, psychokinesis, etc.) and electronic voice …
Toot! Too
It is with such pleasure that I introduce the first vinyl LP by composer/event-maker Charlie Morrow. Toot! Too culls performance recordings from 1970 to 2014. It focuses on his Wave Music series, which are compositions based around swarms of like-instruments; i.e. sixty clarinets, conch choruses, and an army of drums and bugle horns, etc. A personal favorite is the 1978 piece, “100 Musicians With Lights” which was performed at dusk in Central Park. One hundred players (brass, reeds, percussion…
Nelson Angelo E Joyce
(180 gr pressing) Incredible early work from Joyce – the completely fantastic female singer who would go on to transform the sound of Brazilian music in the 70s, and have a huge global legacy for years to come!This set's got Joyce working with Nelson Angelo – a bandmate of the singer in the group A Tribo – and the pair write and perform songs with a vibe that's similar to her later work, but maybe a bit darker and moodier too!"Incredible early work from Joyce – the completely fantastic female si…
Laylat Hob
Mohamed Abdel Wahab wrote another big score for Om Kalsoum in 1972. In Laylet Hob (A Night of Love) we hear Arabic music and poetry in perfect symbiosis. The rich and lengthy instrumental intro is just a precursor of the emotion present in this song. The talent of the composer is underlined by how he utilises the traditional style of singing poetry in a more open and creative way. Abdel Wahab’s infusing of long and groovy interludes with varied tonality, rhythmical patterns and an overall unique…
Oora
The Edgar Broughton Band's fifth album has never been as well-regarded as its predecessors - by 1973, after all, the Broughtons' brand of post-hippie revolution was feeling just a little tired, particularly in the face of the glam scene that had emerged all around, and no matter how strong the song writing and performances remained, there was still a sense of too little, too late. Which was colossally unfair. Indeed, the sheer diversity of Oora flies defiantly in the face of anybody hoping to pi…
