Tempus Fugit: Rare and Unreleased
Edition of 300 copies, one-time pressing. Deluxe Japanese edition. Robert Haigh made his trilogy of piano solo albums (‘Notes and Crossings’, ‘Anonymous Lights’, and ‘Strange and Secret Things’) during 2009-2011 and ‘The Silence of Ghosts’ in 2015 for Siren Records. The tracks for each of these releases were carefully selected with consideration for the flow and development of the project. Inevitably, for various reasons, some tracks did not fit a particular album and they have remained unreleas…
Footprint
Tip! Limited edition. Stunning tape by Tomonao Koshikawa (of Takehisa Kosugi, East Bionic Symphonia and Marginal Consort fame), mastered by Taku Unami. Falling somewhere in liminal space between cosmic music, drone, and musique concrète, with immersive long tones and remarkable harmonic interplay, sculpting a spacial universe entirely their own. It is a stunning, immersive blanket of tones.

Ulterior
2016 release ** "Matschulat’s 1st album explores the dynamics between our inner-selves and our social-existential conditions as human beings through the themes of restraint, dissociation, loneliness and vulnerability. Mainly using old and new recordings, synthesizers and having sampled variations of his own screaming voice, Matschulat offers a violent and anxious ride through his own personal notions of our fragile and circumstantial existence. Abrasive and poetic, this dramatic album demonstrat…
Kestrel
2024 stock. Black Vinyl edition. Kestrel was a UK band that disbanded soon after releasing an unsung prog-rock gem of an album in 1975. Boasting an abundance of technical musicianship and inhabiting a space somewhere between golden-age prog and AOR, the band was defined by their sophisticated sense of melody and exquisite sonic balance. Unfortunately, and probably because they were so far ahead of their time, the album failed to chart and is remembered only amongst a small number of cult fans. G…
In The Land Of Melancholy
2000 release ** "In The Land Of Melancholy as the band's first official release is to present it - in the musicians' intention - from the most accessible side. Hence, the album mainly features atmospheric ballads. However, it is easy to read in them the band's wealth of experience, passion and inspiration. The psychedelic tradition of the 60s is complemented by the spatiality of electronic sounds, which refers to the cosmic German psychedelia of the early 70s (e.g. Cosmic Jokers), or its contemp…

À Chacun Son Dépanneur Cigares Cubain
2002 release ** Andrea Martignoni offers us a work that can be listened to like a film somewhere between documentary and fiction, whose hero is the repairman.
Piss Preik
1993 release ** "Short-lived dark-folk / experimental Norwegian group similar to Current 93 and Death In June. But also the way Askild Skage and Harry Nordskog, which was the core of OC lived their lives. Based on the outskirts of west coast city Haugesund, they lived at a farm and had all their non and pro utilities for them to make structures and fundaments for music to be. Others involved include Kirsten Kvinnesland, Tyskertøsene, Andrej Nebb and the composer Arvid Gangsø."
Overtones-Instrumental: Flowers (Pianos And Voice)
1990 release ** Michael Vetter was born in Oberstdorf in the Allgäu region of Germany, and received a conventional school education. He adopted the recorder as his preferred instrument, and began experimenting in the late 1950s with its timbres and techniques, such as multiphonics and microtones. He inspired composers such as Louis Andriessen and Rob du Bois in the Netherlands, Sylvano Bussotti in Italy, and Mauricio Kagel and Karlheinz Stockhausen in Germany to use the instrument in their compo…
Flow
2006 release ** "In the artist's own words, Flow is an exercice of confrontation, a placing in context between voice and computer, all the idiosyncrasies of bare-naked human expression, altered, expanded and processed beyond its own flesh and blood. It also stages the possibilities and the impossibilities of relationships, or at least tries to pose some questions about the construction of our identity as a permanent conversation with others, through emotions that flow from rational collaboration…
Watch me getting back the end
2006 release ** Christa Pfangen are Andrea Belfi and Mattia Coletti. The name is an homage to Nico, although the music has obviously no relation with the icon of the New York avant garde scene. They belong to the new electroacoustic/improv/avant-rock scene which is taking shape in Italy and includes such names as 3/4 Had Been Eliminated, Valerio Tricoli, Å, Stefano Pilia and others. Working with percussion, treated guitar and an array of different objects and noises, they have given birth to a d…
