El-Hadra - The Mystik Dance
El-Hadra is more than ambient music - it’s a sonic ritual that leaves a permanent mark on the soul. This album has transformed the way many perceive sound, becoming a personal landmark for countless listeners. Originally recorded in the late 1980s, it fuses elements of Sufi trance with hypnotic tabla rhythms, meditative zither, and deep ambient drone to form a truly transcendent experience. Listening to El-Hadra is like entering a space beyond time - a journey one can take again and again, alway…
Philosophy of the World
Limited repress; LP version. "In 1968, three sisters from Fremont, New Hampshire strapped on their instruments and declared themselves The Shaggs. At that moment begun a peculiar tale that would last far beyond the group's five-year run. Dot, Betty and Helen (and occasionally Rachel, the fourth sister) played in the group on the insistence of their father, Austin Wiggin Jr., who was convinced they were going to be big. Years earlier, Austin's mother gave him a palm reading, predicting that her s…
Collected Works
Collected Works by raison d’être is a compilation of deeply atmospheric dark ambient tracks spanning 1999–2010. Encompassing sacral drones, ritual soundscapes, and mournful melodies, the album distills Peter Andersson’s vision: music as spiritual lamentation, shaped by textures, chants, and buried harmonies.
Way Down
Originally released as a small run cassette in 1987, only to fall into tape label obscurity, Robert Turmans industrial genre-bending masterpiece album Way Down finally has been excavated for a proper vinyl reissue after twenty-three years in the shadows. This album solidifies Turman as a cut above the rest with respect to his talent and his natural ear for experimental composition. Turman first came onto the industrial scene in the late 70s as the ominous other half of legendary noise outfit NON…
The Melancholy Mad Tenant
The Melancholy Mad Tenant, a collaboration between Coil, The New Blockaders, and Vortex Campaign, is a remastered anthology of radical noise, drone, and experimental anti‑music. It delivers brutal textures, haunting silences, and fierce creative interplay, pushing sound to extremes where chaos and restraint strangely converge.
Things That Were
This 2CD set presented by the godfather of the genre of dark ambient/industrial, B. Lustmord, putting into its focus the very early works recorded between 1980-83 including previously unreleased material and the very first Lustmord recording of all, in it's primitive glory. Lustmord's intense and aggressive live performances in the early 80’s had been recognized by other industrial bands like Throbbing Gristle and SPK, the latter leading to a cooperation with Graeme Revell for many years includi…
Your Letter Must Have Followed Me All Over The World
Thollem performs original themes and improvisations on four pianos in unique tuning systems devised by Clem Fortuna. Clem joins Thollem in performance on Ten Tone Equal Temperament with spontaneous tuning alterations.
Quartet Now!
Some reunions can result in the participants meeting at a juncture where they were previously, then continuing forward with the same spirit as before. This is precisely what happened when Alex Harding contacted me and said, 'let's hit.' It was the first time since 1995 and the fireworks were still sparking. Soon afterwards, he asked me to recommend a bassist in forming a trio. I immediately told him about Rocco Popielarski. The three of us performed a couple of gigs and hammed and my home a few …
Sclupperbep
Detroit saxophonist Skeeter Shelton and Chicago percussionist Hamid Drake didn’t know each other before Skeeter was subbed into a duo gig at Trinosophes (Detroit) after Hamid’s partner fell ill. Shortly before the performance, it was discovered that Skeeter’s father, Ajaramu Shelton, was Hamid’s drum teacher and mentor at Chicago’s Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians. There was an instant bond. The set that night was fire. This should be no surprise, as keeter, through his fath…
Scale
Scale, addresses issues of observation, embodied transferences, telepathy and duration employing swipes, knocks, resonators and hypnotic patternings on the acoustic harp with the less controllable sounds of radio waves, homemade synths and feedback. Inspired by the timings and sensations of natural phenomena including daylight’s slow emergence at dawn and the pulsing ambiance of ocean currents. Nature as both utopic and disruptive. Attention is situated in an often luscious, contemplative sonic …
Vibration!
"For the years Columbus was lucky enough to call him ours, drummer Ryan Jewell was our leading proponent of Emily Dickinson’s maxim “tell the truth but tell it slant.” He placed an idiosyncratic, indelible, and always swinging stamp on any context he assailed, from the insidiously catchy quirk of Terribly Empty Pockets to the righteous brainy scuzz-punk of Pink Reason to spacy evocative noise with collaborators like Mike Shiflet and C. Spencer Yeh to shepherding Psychedelic Horsehit through thei…
Faint Light Blackens
*200 copies limited edition* On his fourth solo album, and debut work for the Psychic Liberation imprint, Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø presents Faint Light Blackens, a negotiation between the atomized instrumentation of the solo trombone is pushed towards a “full range wall of sound” over the concise sprawl of seven distinct acts on two sides of a vinyl record. The seven acts that make up the album were developed specifically for recording within Emanuel Vigeland’s “Tomba Emmanuelle”. The fresco with…
Archives
On Archives, Italian industrial pioneer Maurizio Bianchi (M.B.) assembles a stark dossier of early cassette‑era works, exposing the bare circuitry of his noise archaeology: corroded drones, medical‑grade pulses and desolate tape decay stripped of any human consolation.
Dogon A.D.
Complete sessions / expanded edition. One of the most important jazz albums of the 1970s – finally in its definitive edition. Julius Hemphill's Dogon A.D. is the missing link between the avant-garde and the blues, between the cotton fields and outer space. Recorded on a freezing February day in 1972 at Oliver Sain's Archway Studios in St. Louis – no heat, malfunctioning equipment, some musicians didn't even show up – and yet what emerged was nothing short of a masterpiece. An "almost accidental …
Syntheticopia
Space is the place - at least, it's the place uppermost in the mind of midwest US label Past Inside The Present owner Zakè and his sonic partner Ossa - location given as the north pole according to his Twitter - as they embark on collaborative 10 tracks. The fact that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration - NASA to you and me - has supplied them with celestial sound emissions for the tracks is a bonus. But ultimately, the real headline factor once it's actually on your turntable is t…
Cumbia Siglo XXI
After the very acoustic "¿Dónde estás María?". I decided to try a new experiment taking as a reference the legendary group "Cumbia siglo XX" which is a group who explores a futuristic vision of coastal cumbia in the 80s, together with other groups such as "Grupo folclórico", "2000 voltios" and others, mainly under the label Machuca and Felito records. This new 80s cumbia was a combination of funky basses and a further evolution of the rhythms, blending this style with disco and even rock music a…
Music Of Guatemala
Tip! First reissue of these cult 1974 recordings of a Mayan brass band playing funeral dirges and popular songs in its distinctive extended harmonic and rhythmic style. The members of the San Lucas Band lived in the mountain village of San Lucas Tolimán, Guatemala, playing local events of both religious and social nature. The pride of their town since 1922, the band represented a fast disappearing musical tradition when these recordings were originally released in 1975. Their unique sound deriv…
Heat
With Heat, Société Étrange extends its work around repetition, groove and cyclic structures, shaping an instrumental music that is both hypnotic and enveloping. Without any radical shift, the Lyon-based trio subtly moves towards more melodic and more cinematic forms, revealing warmer, more textured and sometimes more luminous atmospheres.
Formed by Antoine Bellini (electronics), Romain Hervault (bass) and Jonathan Grandcollot (drums), Société Étrange builds here a more diffuse trance, driven by …
Flora
Tip! Following their 2024 reissue of Hiroshi Yoshimura’s classic album, Surround, Temporal Drift proudly presents the first-ever reissue of Flora, Yoshimura’s underappreciated ambient classic.
Flora was originally recorded and completed in 1987, and remained unreleased until 2006, nearly three years after Yoshimura’s passing in 2003. The album is chronologically and stylistically a follow-up to his acclaimed 1986 works Green and Sorround, wherein Yoshimura continues to play with the ambience of …
No One Notices the Fly
On No One Notices the Fly, Zander Raymond turns marginal sounds into the main event, building fragile songs from scraps, glitches and room tone. Fourteen pieces drift between collage, improvisation and diaristic field recording, inviting the ear to lean closer until the smallest sonic twitch feels like a full emotional weather system.
