Phantom Payn Daze
While in the widely neglected 39 Clocks, he made records that never sold and played gigs that few ever saw, Juergen Gleue has arguably been the most important exponent of electrified German sound since the late 1970s. Phantom Payn Daze was made in the mid to late 90s and has never been released. It's his final LP and is overflowing with all the elements that romanticized, loner / stoner music claims, an encoded expression of highly private feelings, an ambiguous, emotional quotient, and a dark…
Associazioni Poro
Alessandro Brivio’s new record is another collection of complex and obsessive rhythmic tracks, reflecting his studies and passion for african aesthetics. The title is an homage to the Senufo secret society (the Poro) and to the Associazione Poro, a foundation of africanists founded by the great italian collector Carlo Monzino.Numbered edition of 200 copies. Transparent vinyl (cut at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin) with printed labels. Silkscreened cover (black on black carboard), with small inser…
Silencer
Eldritch electro-acoustic explorer and uncompromising sound artist Luke Younger aka Helm presents his first new material since his Impossible Symmetry (PAN 027LP) album. Issued as a split release between PAN and his own Alter label, Silencer documents four studio actions conducted in the wake of his renowned LP, charting the alchemical relationships between base, stripped-down rhythms, cruddy electronics, and acousmatic source material manipulated on cassette tapes. Features foghorn brass fro…
Februari - April '81
On a rainy night in November 1980 Truus went to see Rhys Chatham's band in her Hometown of Eindhoven. Never suspecting that this evening would change the course of her life ! She met David Linton who played the drums with Rhys. They struck up a whirlwind friendship. Upon their farewell, David mentioned 'come see me in New York'. Fast forward two months later and Truus was in New York. Armed with backing track tapes, David and Truus started jamming around in his loft. Soon his roommate Lee …
Last American Hero
Long awaited vinyl pressing of this amazing album from one half of The Skaters, and all-round Hypnagogic Pop hero James Ferraro - 450 copies for the world!* James Ferraro has fast become one of those artists whose records we can't wait to devour in the office. 'Last American Hero' is by far one of his most acutely affective dreams, originally released (like most of his stuff) on tape via the Belgian label Dreamtime Taped Sounds in late 2008, but reaching us on a super limited run of 450 vi…
Early Astral

On Early Astral Forsyth and Holtkamp team up, playing guitar and synthesizer and modular electronics respectively. The record consists t…
Landscapes
*ONE OF 2009'S MOST ACCLAIMED ALBUMS, FINALLY BACK IN STOCK* Ducktails is the lo-fi bedroom pop pseudonym of New Jersey's Matthew Mondanile, who also goes by the handle of Predator Vision on Not Not Fun. Over the last three years he's dreamt up a steady stream of largely cassette only gems which squarely fall into the Hypnagogic Pop style identified by the Wire magazine in mid-2009. 'Landscapes' is a remarkable collection of raw-finished pop reminisces with a vivid sheen of washed-out summery eu…
And That
Sub Rosa presents an LP-only collaborative release between New York visual artist, photographer, and film artist Peter Downsbrough and Xavier Garcia-Bardon and Benjamin Franklin, two members of Buffle -- a Brussels-based improv collective. The work of visual artist, photographer and film artist Peter Downsbrough has had a major impact on the perception of art. In the early-'60s, Downsbrough interrupted his studies in architecture at the University of Cincinnati and Cooper Union in New York i…
Improvisations
Dedicated to the memory of Tony Marsh. The recordings on this double LP are taken from the first night of Roscoe Mitchell's inaugural two day residency at Cafe OTO in 2012 and his first time playing with drummer Tony Marsh and double bassist John Edwards. It was one of those nights where the music electrifies the room. Everyone on edge. Everything alive with the possibilities. Although there was much talk after the concert of the group playing together again this would sadly be the first and la…
Presque Rien
Recollection GRM presents four musique concrète masterpieces by French electro-acoustic innovator Luc Ferrari -- all of the Presque Rien's collected together in one vinyl set for the first time. Presque rien n°1, le lever du jour au bord de la mer (1967-1970): "Following the complete disappearance of abstract sounds, we can regard this piece as a sonic snapshot and the culmination of an evolution. This is a realistic rendering (as faithful as possible) of a fishing village waking up. T…

Second Offender
P1/E was formed in Berlin 1979. The original band members were Michael Schäumer, Michael Voigt (Monogam Rec.), Michael Hirsch (Exkurs) and Ute Droste. in the rehearsal cellar the band discovered a fourteen year old drummer, Alexander Hacke, who later came to fame with Einstürzende Neubauten. Before the recording of the legendary 7inch "49 sec romance" Voigt left the band and Thomas Voburka (Weltklang) who worked with Schäumer in the famous Exil restaurant in Kreuzberg, joined as a guest singer. …
Inland
Kye is proud to present Inland, the new LP by Clapton-based Astor. Advancing the cause of 2012's 'Alcor' LP, 'Inland' finds Mark Harwood and sometime collaborator Maja Larsson further complicating reason with dark and circuitous audio constructs. Inland' is sonically conceptualised through the meticulous choice of instrument used: ranging from an array of bells, gongs and ethno-percussion, alongside petrified piano melodies and a grinding organ. Accordingly, this is complemented by the use of T.…
Lasted
Lasted is the third album by Thomas Meluch under the alias Benoit Pioulard. Thomas has toured throughout North America and Europe since his last record, the process of which has had a marked impact on the development of these songs as lyrics and structures have been scrapped, tweaked and reworked in the live setting. As with previous albums it was recorded and mixed in domestic isolation, this time throughout the rainy season in his current home of Portland, Oregon. While the extent of the…
Vagabond
2013-05-25Brand new full length from Golden Cup featuring a new expanded 4 piece (Luca Massolin, Maurizio Abate and France band). Vagabond features 3 tracks, the opening 15 minute tracks takes up the full A side with wild psychedelic percussion and floating riffs, it's one hell of a jam. The B side features two shorter pieces, the first which are totally tranced out tribal percussive pieces, it sound nuts. The closing tracks is the perfect blend of the previous two tracks, crazy percussion…
the cut
RESTOCKED...you'll have to run thru a intense long brown tunnel before arriving at the best butcher in town! he'll cut your meat down to pure droned filet americain or preparé from the chef! bears and bowie lookalikes are huge fans, as this bird butcher sliced many famous animals since a young age. he grew from playing cards in the bar with the big nuts via pinching fags in the parc to a full blown fine line worker!spin him around and you get a conceptual artpiece, back to the old skool game …
An Imaginary Country
Double LP version: An Imaginary Country continues from the trajectory of his last album, the critically acclaimed Harmony in Ultraviolet, while also showing a few new tricks. Tim has incorporated more pulses into this work and also works with a sound palette including overdriven mellotron strings and synthesizer. At times this album is less overtly aggressive than previous works, but the notion that this is pastoral work would be dead wrong as there are plenty of the agitated crescendos that he …
Signaux
Robert Hampson released the exceptional Répercussions earlier this year, now he has followed that up with two more albums, released simultaneously but presented separately. Even though he has become suddenly prolific, both albums are of the utmost quality, and have a distinctly different approach to sound between them. And yes, fans of Loop and Main, there are guitars! On Signaux Hampson sets up a rich tapestry of needle like high frequencies and subtle bass spreads, expertly woven into …
