Illu Ogod Ellat Rhagedia (Ustrainhustri)
2000 release - cardboard box with three cards inserted (light storage wear) ** "The second album by A Short Apnea, Illu Ogod Ellat Rhagedia is a concept album divided into three long tracks, themselves evolving tunes composed of different movements. The innovative rock symphony -- involving not only guitar, bass, and drums but also accordion, sax, clarinet, '60s psychedelic experimentation, jazz as free expression, and '90s American noise rock -- breaches today's rock line and finds its place as…
Cold Waters
2012 release. Cold Waters is the result of a very short yet intense meeting between Jean-Herve Peron (Faust) and Amaury Cambuzat (Ulan Bator). The duo met in the French countryside -- two days, two mics, two friends, and a dog... from hilarious to heart-striking, these "Songs from the Mill" flowed through them. Cold Waters, far from being an anecdotal side-note to their ongoing collaborative efforts in the legendary "krautrock" band Faust, reaffirms the duo's successful explorations as leading f…

1991 release ** "Jon Rose, Peter Hollinger, Johannes Bauer & Dietmar Diesner live in Victoriaville in 1990."
Musica Futurista 1
1992 release ** "A selection of futurist music which combines some very rare audio documents that have survived (for example, the Chorale by Antonio Russolo) with piano reinterpretations by the composer Daniele Lombardi."
Jesus Makes You High
2025 stock ** A very strange 'paycheck' project for Conny Plank and Achim Reichel's Gorilla Musik production company. Wonderland-esque German rock with heavy Christian lyrics! A.R. is nowhere to be seen on the sleevenotes, but his fingerabdrücke are everywhere. You can make up your own punchline for the album title. First-ever reissue includes full lyrics and two bonus tracks from their only 7" release
Into Dark Water
1992 release ** "Following on from the excellent "Scene In Mirage" reissue that broke O Yuki Conjugate to a whole new crowd, Emotional Rescue return to the archives of the over-looked Nottingham "dirty ambient" outfit. Their second LP "Into Dark Water", originally released in 1987, is just as powerful as the first - a hypnagogic journey fuelled by a global stew of sound, feeding into elegant, evocative pieces. Fans of classic Jon Hassell will find much to enjoy here, but equally those appreciati…

Linea D'Ombra
1993 release ** "Linea d'ombra is the CD from more than twenty years ago with which the author inaugurated his personal journey as an interpreter-composer on the border between the languages of jazz, classical music and rock. At the time, Roberto Verti wrote about it in the presentation of the CD: “A musician with a cult background who moves between the moods of the new age and the high craftsmanship of the academy, between the La Scala scene and minimal, jazz; plays with flutes and combines t…
Figure Of Speech
1993 release ** "The trio setting of tuba and non-traditional percussion and Eskelin's compositions leave an uncluttered canvas free of many of the standard traps of head-solo-head without disolving into the total formlessness of much "avant garde" jazz. The musicians (Ellery Eskelin - tenor, Joe Daley - tuba, and Arto Tuncboyaciyan - percussion) respond to the setting with some beautifully executed improvisations. At the center of the trio, Eskelin's thick tenor sound - a seemingly impossible …
Au Royaume Du Silencieux
1992 release ** "The 3rd and final album by Les Granules. The pieces on this album are recorded in real time and without overlays. Each of the composed or improvised pieces was subsequently the subject of serious alterations by collage. Slight differences in pulsation, tuning, and subtle shifts from one beat to another, from one type of sound recording to another, were highlighted rather than hidden, producing the effect of a mosaic or quilt. "

Long On Logic
1990 release ** "Rova Saxophone Quartet’s 1990 recording of music composed by Steve Adams, Fred Frith, Henry Kaiser, Larry Ochs and Jon Raskin. With music by Rova, Henry Kaiser (g), and Fred Frith, this was an outgrowth of a successful local concert series. It’s one of the few sax quartet albums that utilizes studio and sampling technology as an artistic tool."
Acrid Acme (Of) P16.D4
1989 release (RARE) ** "The acRID acME [of] P16.D4 might be the most well known work, no doubt due to the unique approach taken for the first segment: in 1987, the P16.D4 dredged recordings from the 1981 punk incarnation and placed them in a completely different context. As a result, "Maba 4. 12." and "Rotting Outscratched" reveal their initial forms, the former with the occasionally perceptible fragment of punk thrash sipping out unscathed from the abused tapes, and the latter allowing a hint o…
Altered Realities
2025 stock ** Erdem Helvagioglu first broke through to the international audience with his Walk Through the Bazaar...a collection of sounds from the bazaar in Istanbul that he worked to create an emotional tour. On this record the listener is presented with the performer, on live guitar with live electronics and processing. This kind of work is straight up 'new music' and has strong affinities to the downtown, improvised and modern classical currents that are being played throughout the capitals…

1990 release **
Tales Of A Voice
1991 release ** "The singer's vocal style is characterized by an enormous vocal range and a particularly accentuated use of the voice as an instrument (cf. Scat or Bop vocals). The constant change of intonations and phrasing as well as different timbres, the mixture of cantilènes and squeaking or cooing noises with overtone singing creates a confusingly diverse sound world of strong tension, which always comes into its own not only in solo performances, but also in ensemble playing, without domi…
No Train
1998 release ** "This is a change of pace for West Coast musician Steuart Leibig, who is joined here by saxophonist Vinny Golia and drummer Billy Mintz for a mix of Leibig compositions and thoroughly improvised numbers. Leibig leaves his violin at home, instead focusing on contrabass guitars, while Golia muscles his way on baritone and soprano saxophones. The composed pieces are loose constructs; a different course from the leader's earlier penchant for densely layered colors. If the disc has a …
