Khumbula (Remember)
A duo recording from October 2004, produced by Evan Parker, which marked the first time that Louis Moholo-Moholo and Stan Tracey had worked together for thirty years and the first time ever as a duo. The pair entered Gateway Studios in Kingston, London with no prior discussion on what form the music should take, choosing instead to let the music take them. This glorious album is the result.
Couple In Spirit
"During 2019 Keith, Julie and myself had discussed the idea of a new Couple In Spirit album for Discus Music. Rather than choosing one of the many possible live recordings of the duo, Keith and Julie were keen to make a new multi tracked studio recording, something they had not done for 30 years since their EG release. The studio was booked for spring 2020, and the project was opened for advance subscriptions. The New Year arrived, lockdown kicked in, Keith’s already fragile health deteriorat…

Fred Van Hove's 52 minute solo piano performance at the Jazz à Mulhouse summer festival 2007 reveals one of the giants of improvised music at the height of his creative powers.
Race Against Time
2002 release ** Cardboard sleeve. "Race Against Time is a very deep album, immersed in warm sounds. A captivating journey, on the one hand into the underwater, blurry landscapes, and on the other, definitely bordering on physical contact with nature. It puts you in a trance and puts you in a trance. It's a truly unique atmosphere, melancholy, and a sense of taste. You can hear the classics (Rapoon, Brian Eno, Biosphere, Lustmord) here, in Poland. A true feast for fans of the genre. This journey …
The Final Question
2002 release ** Laser-cut card-sleeve. "Whatever this final question is that Paul Bradley and Colin Potter are asking, it is fucking deep. The stalwart British drone artists Bradley & Potter (the latter of whom is also known as being a long-standing member of Nurse With Wound) have collaborated a number of times in the past; and here they present their latest work under the new moniker Un:. Not to be confused with the pre-Double Leopards / pre-Fursaxa audio narcotic, this Un: brings Potter almos…
El obsceno pajaro de la noche
2009 release ** Limited edition of 50 copies. "This Aspec(t) album is very noisy and rather edgy, Gabola's sax often sounds very saturated, there are no concessions to melody even by mistake, SEC_ on the synth and electronics moves in a very fragmented, almost rhythmic way, no soft keyboard-like carpet as one would expect and finally Agenziano plays the guitar less and less as we have always understood it, to give it back to us so filtered that sometimes it is even difficult to understand who do…
Tryptykh
2002 release ** "The Belgian group Hybryds is one of the most unusual phenomena on the underground music scene. They have been around since the late 80s and combine the powerful primordial energy of prehistoric times with the post-industrial aesthetics of modern times. This is a dark ritual music performed mainly on acoustic and homemade instruments (gasoline drums, wooden armature, other various percussion, voice, field recordings made in different parts of the world) with limited use of synthe…
Les Fleurs Du Mal

Heterotopia
Persistence of Sound presents a new solo LP from one of the world’s leading voices in electroacoustic music.
Thames
Thames presents diverse sound interactions along the River Thames that surprise with their musicality. As we travel from central London to the river’s furthest estuary, it feels like we’re travelling back in time. We hear the sounds of nature and industry in competition, from the pitched, quasi-musical sound of Tower Bridge lifting up, to the marsh frogs of Allhallows.
Souvenirs Cachés / Innermost
Persistence of Sound presents a split LP from two leading voices in electroacoustic music. It would be hard to find a better-suited combination of contemporary acousmatica on one record. Beatriz Ferreyra and Natasha Barrett are known for their intense exploration of the movement of sounds through space. Ferreyra has been at the cutting edge of developments in acousmatic music and sound morphology since she joined Pierre Schaeffer’s small team of researchers in his tape experiments at the GRM P…

Transit
2015 release ** "Since 1999 electronic duo Klangwart occupy self-confidently their very own niche between Avantgarde and Pop. Markus Detmer and Timo Reuber, the two 'elder statesmen' of neo-Krautrock, are since regarded as the most authentic heirs to the psychedelic sound gurus of the '70s. Titled 'Transit' their new album after 'Sommer' (2010) is a real masterpiece: Nine tracks of otherworldly beauty – energetic, organic, unpredictable. Thousands of sound snippets are assembled to a kind of veg…

The Invisible Castle
2009 release ** ""Richard Dawson's project that debuted on Blackest Rainbow earlier this year, which was followed by CDRs on Bells Hill, Low Point and Dead Pilot, and another release on Blackest Rainbow, a split cassette with fellow UK droner Gareth Hardwick. The Invisible Castle is far more intense, and in some ways heavier than the previous releases on BR, but retains Dawson's own dark take on the world of psychedelic drone music, and this is a proper drone release, clocking in an hour for the…
Consumed Within The Years Of Lead
2004 release ** Cardboard sleeve. "A co-release between the tiny Hollywood-based noise imprint Pacrec and David Reed's cottage label Snip-Snip, Consumed Within the Years of Lead benefited from relatively larger exposure in the noise underground than Luasa Raelon's numerous previous offerings. Luasa Raelon, David Reed's beast, delivers here a tempered set of industrial noise. The sound palette is much closer to the spirit of the industrial scene than to digicore or harsh noise. Reed's sound brick…
Musica Reservata Viva
2017 release ** Limited edition of 50/100 copies with hand-written cardboard sleeve. "The title Musica Reservata Viva refers to both Musica Elettronica Viva and the term Musica Reservata which was used to describe Roland Kayn’s work. The CDr consists of 6 tracks that I created on analog synthesizers. It was meant to be a relase for the happy few, and mostly given away to friends."
