Wie Zeit Vergeht
Mindblowing assembly of experimental and utterly visceral analogue experiments from former member of DAF, Frieder Butzmann - DO NOT MISS* Frieder Butzmann is a veteran of the Berlin underground, a former member of DAF, and Din A Testbild alongside Gudrun Gut, and collaborator with Genesis P. Orridge, Thomas Kapielski and Wolfgang Müller. 'Wie Zeit Vergeht' is his contribution to Pan's increasingly essential canon of experimental material, following incredible releases by Keith Fullerton W…
Charade Is Gold
on yellow vinyl! All string synths and spring reverb, this is an analog dream. Nothing less than some of the finest classically-orchestrated synthetic pop of the thirty odd years people have been attempting it.
Isomopolis. ICC
Lovely and obscure album of Bertoia/Rutman-lineage metal sound-sculptures from which G. T. Smits coaxes a bizarre array of squawks & resonant thumps...."for a while i thought i was completely lost in the maze that is the recorded archive of George "TOET" Smits, a few years back i got boxes full of cassettes that i have been sitting thru for a few years, a bunch unlabeled, and a lot of recordings from his ZBOLK NIGHT RADIO. George Toet Smits started out playing mouth organ and guitar in Ferre…
School Of The Flower
Ben Chasny (COMETS ON FIRE) might beat you if you call his solo work folk music. Hypnotic, mesmerizing, full of rough edges & elliptical turns round & round. First studio record from the highly prolific Chasny, joined by free-jazz sensation CHRIS CORSANO on drums & absolutely no computers. Chasny says "I see my music as being much more from the underground class of '92 than this folk scene...it has the same rock to folk quotient as Zep 3...Rock is the new folk & folk fucked rock without the reac…
Le Piano Demecanise
Le Piano Demécanisé is a vinyl album with music played on a dismantled piano. The release of the album goes in tandem with the publication of the new issue of RTRSRCH magazine, in which Frederik Croene presents the text accompanying the LP. The LP was pressed in an edition of 500, sleeve design by Joris Verdoodt." Overall the music has a very contemplative and percussive nature. Either with hands, sticks or bows, he gently approaches the piano and works on it, very much like both a comp…
Split LP
Excellent split with Ryan Garbes and Shawn Reed’s Wet Hair delivering one of their most perfectly articulated runs of psychedelic pop narcosis with aspects of late Spacemen 3/Spectrum, Silver Apples, Boston garage, classic Kraut radiophonia and an approach to melodic song styles that has aspects of Woods. Naked On The Vague go back to their original duo line-up for their side, by far their most interesting set-up, with a darker/heavier Industrial aspect than on their recent Siltbreeze LP a…
Early Free-Form Waveforms
Performed by: Psychatrone (synth), Brian Turner (guitar). Recorded 1996 live to tape. One side is a synth/gt duo with WFMU's boss Brian Turner, while side B is a solo synth. Both tracks recorded in the mid-'90s. Psychedelic waveforms with a freeform sound that grows on you... subtle and mesmerizing.
Mass
THE WIRE'S BEST OF 2010! While Morse followed traditional avenues of rugged folk narrative tinged w/ psychedelic foxing, Mass is an unchartered, one-way trip through a world of ritual. Broken guitars, percussive loops, backwards tracking, a (home-made) glass harmonium, lullabies, bagpipe thievery & the odd bit of fighting talk are just some of the many bricks laid here. New Zealand’s Alastair Galbraith, while originally coming from the Flying Nun stable of bands, has for many years now been…
Running on autokinetic
classic Ashtray Navigations, two hallucino-kinetic tracks each side
El Telonero
it took ernesto gonzalez more than three years to record the follow-up for his 'vallée de dith', but it was definitely worth the waiting! 'el telonero' is a tribute to the art of opening up for other bands. this album was created during a period in which gonzalez got more comfortable on stage, often setting the vibe for the night. concentrating on the ultimate tuning-in quality. the loose kraut-inspired jams of his second record are pretty much absent here. the focus is on analog synths a…
Churinga Canaries
Collaborations can be a hell of a gamble. Fortunately, it seems that in the world of the underground music lover, collaborative ventures always seem to turn out to be synergetic exercises that yield amazing results. Churinga Canaries is such an endeavour: a one-off group effort improvised by four of the brightest lights in the UK underground music dog-and-pony show. A rundown of the participants should be more than enough to cause many of you to drool with excitement. Phil Legard (Xenis Em…
Inaudible Bicoastal Trajectory
When you discover that this LP consists of two side-long tracks entitled 'Hypnotic Brain Cloud Float' and 'Mystical Bamboo Garden Cultivation' I think you know it's gonna be business as usual for Expo 70. Both tracks were recorded live in the Autumn of 2010; one in concert, one for a radio session. Both these tracks are Justin Wright performing solo, but it doesn't seem to make a huge difference to the already-minimal Expo 70 sound. On side A it's all ponderous drones and synth swoops and …

SB - baritone & tenor sax, slide bass clarinet, bells, conch shell, voicemaster, noseflute, home-made 8-hole clarinet; RP - drums, percussions, gopichand, tabla. Oblique and totally improvised free music.
Chaos 1978-86
Unless Sun Ra's most out there moments, one of many behavioral components from Chaos 1978-86, were beamed alongside televised presidential messages for years, or the ravenous fire from Jimi Hendrix's burning guitar had a heated soundtrack of its own on the Billboard charts, it's hard to imagine anyone being ready for this crazy shit in the early 80s. The appropriately named Wicked Witch, a richly decadent and spooky avant-garde affair of off-kilter rhythm and blues-based x-spunk, was the masterm…
Any Colour We Liked
is the highly anticipated and Anna’s first release in co-operation with the Mannequin label from Rome, Italy. CHROMAGAIN were Luca Pastore (bass, guitar, synthesiser, lyrics, backing vocals), Silvio Ferrero (synthesisers) and Davide Bassino (vocals, lyrics) from Torino, Italy, and was formed in 1982. CHROMAGAIN had two other singers (at first Riccardo Acuto, then Danilo ‘Dana’ Barbero) before Davide Bassino joined as the main vocalist and core member. They started as a post-punk outfit in 1982, …
Invertebrate
Heath Moerland & Chris Pottinger: horns & electronics. Side A: 'Venom Injection,' 'Invertebrate.' Ghost-horns howling at twisted electronics, sub-humans or invertebrate.
Labor Of Love
We're not complaining. Seems like a week can't go by without some new Not Not Fun opus dribbling out from the west coast label, aimed at bleeding our brains of logical thought processes and launching us into galaxies where laws are read backwards and progress is measured in long, untethering tracks of psychedelia muttered through interstellar Ham radios. This week it comes by way of slow-boiled loops and synth warbling that build towards wordless rantings best quantified as the dark prayers mean…
January Thirty
For his first time ever release on vinyl Kazuma Kubota delivers a masterpiece of composed cut-up noise. Field recording, harsh noise and silent mixed together for a unique composition. Require multiple listenings to understand the beauty inside in this work. 140 gr vinyls, black inner sleeves, printed label, deluxe 330g ultra white paper. 100 copies.
Life coach
‘Life Coach’ is the debut solo album from Phil Manley (of Trans Am, Oneida, The F*cking Champs, Jonas Reinhardt). This instrumental album will certainly appeal to fans of the aforementioned bands as well as those into the classic works of Kraftwerk, Neu!, and Harmonia as well as modern Kosmische / ambient music from the likes of Arp, Mountains, The Alps and Type Records. The CD version comes in a four panel mini-LP style gatefold package. (Boomkat)
Nordic Visions
Alreay out of print "While Wooden Wand and Satya Sai jammed with the Sky High Band in beautiful California, the Vanishing Voice dug in deep in the frozen northeast. Snowed in with utopian texts and mounting paranoia, Steven the Harvester, Heidi White Diamond Diehl, and Pete Wolfy Nolan joined nonhorse in an abandoned textile factory, boiling out these ballads of suspended disbelief and hope for the better world... killer vinyl edition on this new label of the self released cdr. Great packaging w…
