2025 stock The third full-length release for Portland, Oregon-based Liz Harris. Harris might have achieved a significant fan base thanks to the whispering, near-ambient vocal crusades of her debut album Way Their Crept and its follow-up Wide, but those with a careful ear would have heard slightly more trapped beneath her fuzzy chain of effects. Dragging A Dead Deer Up A Hill marks a departure of sorts for Liz, which sees her turn down the fuzz boxes which caged (and to some degree defined) her s…

Portland trio offering a distinctive contribution to the lineage of Great Black Music. All is Sound - now reissued - positions itself at the intersection of several African-American musical traditions: the meditative modality of Alice Coltrane's ashram recordings, the cosmic expansiveness of Sun Ra's quieter moments, and the devotional intensity that Pharoah Sanders brought to his late-period work. The Cosmic Tones Research Trio comprises alto saxophonist and composer Roman Norfleet, cellist and…

*100 copies. Hand numbered double sided screen print* There are albums that slip through the cracks of time, becoming mythical objects that collectors whisper about in hushed tones. Grant Corum's Mercury Vineyard Surgeries was one such release - originally dispersed as cassettes during a 2018 tour, these tapes became talismanic objects that suggested an entirely different relationship between composer and listener, between healing and sound. Now, seven years later, Psychic Sounds has recognized …

A reissue of the brilliant second album by Art Bears, a band/project featuring Fred Frith, Chris Cutler and Dagmar Krause, formed in 1978 after disputes over the musical direction within Henry Cow. 'Winter Songs', originally released in 1979, placed Art Bears in the forefront of the Rock In Opposition Movement. Art Bears' intense and brutal avant-garde approach on the album comes across as primordial expression, which is nailed down by Krause's violently charismatic voice. As a piece of music re…

Internationally acclaimed Brazilian composer, musician, and singer Marcos Valle proudly reintroduces his self-titled album, "Marcos Valle," a vibrant testament to the artist's unmatched influence on global music and the Brazilian soundscape.

*2024 stock* A classic Harold Budd album originally released in 1988. Partly recorded at the Cocteau Twins studio with production help from Robin Guthrie and Brian Eno, 'The White Arcades' effortless blend of glistening synths, limpid piano notes, foggy textures and space result in a beautiful contemplative whole. “Although its aura is ethereal and unworldly, Budd's music is actually an exemplary form of humanly useful music. When the mundane urgencies of life, or the nonsense of our political c…

First-time reissue of Willem Nyland's rare private-press piano improvisations. The Dutch chemist-turned-Gurdjieff disciple recorded these spiritual teachings on specially tuned piano in 1960s upstate New York

Munster Records present a reissue of Étant Donnés's Re-Up, originally released in 1999. For Re-Up, France's Étant Donnés (Eric & Marc Hurtado) brought in Alan Vega, Lydia Lunch and Genesis P-Orridge to provide lyrics and vocals for specific contributions. Vega, featured on the first four tracks, juxtaposes his stream-of-conscious vocals with the phasing pulses and analog crackles and sighs on "Shadows Lights", responding to the rhythmic ticking and splintering synth on the title cut, helping…

Having first emerged onto a post-acid house 1993, Incunabula was released as part 7 of the now legendary Artificial Intelligence series of albums and compilations from Warp.

A landmark in the history of Lowercase music - the idiom that Roden helped pioneer - unfurling like an alien, microscopic landscape, it's one of the true marvels of post-millennial sound practices that remains as effective and radica…

*300 copies limited edition* Since the release of This World is Not My Home in 2014, Gary Mundy (Ramleh, Breathless, Broken Flag) has been releasing one new album per year by his critically acclaimed solo Kleistwahr endeavour. The idea driving this is to keep producing an album a year until he is no longer capable of doing so. While the dedication to this pirouettes starkly between insanity and an admirable stoicism, it’s quite an undertaking when one considers the sound palette Gary works from.…

An electrified meeting of minds, Candy Girl is a lost 1975 session by jazz pianist Mal Waldron, recorded in Paris with core members of the mighty Lafayette Afro Rock Band, the American funk unit who had made France their home and whose deep grooves would later be mined by generations of hip-hop producers. By 1975, Waldron was a decade into his self-imposed exile from the United States—a transformed musician who had reassembled his sound in Europe and Japan after a devastating breakdown in the ea…

Their collaboration suggests a well-crafted musical …

How Warsaw remembers, commemorates and what it does with the memory of Frederic Chopin? Where this memory is good, and where it fails? What the mind doesn’t want to remember, and where memory turns into a myth? Radio play by three Warsaw artists coming from various disciplines of the arts in Warsaw: Marcin Masecki, Wojtek Zra ek-Kossakowski and Marcin Lenarczyk is an attempt to reconstruction (because “reconstruction” is the most appropriate word here) of the wide memory of great/biggest/most Po…

1999 release ** "Very idiosyncratic and very beautiful improvisations by one half of the Takla Records collective, these nineteen pieces sound like nothing much else on the planet. Individual notes hang in the air; no particular statement lasts for long, and yet the duo manage to sustain a sense of momentum across the silences. They've programmed unusually long pauses between the tracks, perhaps in an attempt to encourage the casual listener to hear distinct pieces. On in the background, these p…

John Watermann's Calcutta Gas Chamber has long been hailed as one of the minor masterpieces of post-industrial sound art, this is the very first edition on N D label. Back in 1990, this German born sound artist had traveled to Calcutta where he stumbled upon a gas chamber that had been closed down just a few years earlier. Watermann explains in the liner notes that the Indian government had numerous policies, both official and clandestine, aimed at population control; and the gas chamber was one…

“L'imbroglio” is a dense CD featuring vibes, brass, stick and much more, exploding in Cool experimental sounds like Soft Machine or Miles Davis' and Co. NY school. Lots of guest performers alternating along 13 tracks in a metaphorical ride, rich of shivering emotions, a succeeded concentration of seductions.

2002 release ** A sparse sound and sonic experiences reminiscent of the wave/post-punk era and industrial-style electronica. Contemporary ambient bursts immersed in pure, digital rhythm. Th26 have been active since 1993, driven by Corrado Altieri and later joined by Arnaldo Pontis and Simon Balestrazzi. Measured manipulations, deviated rhythmic lines, filtered and synthesized vocal interpretations, a wide sound spectrum that explores the extreme and most abstract sides of electro.

"Cool crap" is an impressive, highly infectious, catchy and totally twisted electroclash debut album from Judah: cold and analogue minimal electronics plus really toxic and vicious vocal parts!!!

Composed for a "urban-dance" performance in occasion of the "Venezia Suona 2002" festival in Venice (Italy), with the choreography by Alessia Garbo, Onde is music for one electric guitar, effected and computer-manipulated, a sound trip wrapped into noise and psychedelia.

Entity formed by musicians strongly professing their psychedelic faith , sons of post-modern breaking-up, incapable of choosing between jazz noise and Italian tunes of Japanese manga, ill at ease in paying our respects both to Pink Floyd and to the most tremendous metal .After ten years, conflagration leaves room to the need of building up a more constant and meditative way, creating EX-P.Improvisation and an estranged kind of sound are still the main features, searched inside the huge territori…

2008 release ** "Second full-lenght album from Italy's Painting Petals On Planet Ghost, aka brothers Maurizio & Roberto Opalio (My Cat Is An Alien) and vocalist Ramona Ponzini (also involved in the duo Praxinoscope, as well as a new project with Z'EV). 'Fallen Camellias' is a tribute to one of the greatest poetess ever, Japanese Yosano Akiko, whose work in literature in the early 1900's is considered as manifesto of the Japanese Romanticism. Imagine a Vashti Bunyan or a early Marianne Faithful s…

Echran is a duo: Davide Del Col playing synth - he also released several records with the name Ornament (music located in the territories of obscure ambient) - and Fabio Volpi (programming and voice) playing also in the musical-visual arts collective Otolab. Echran’s music is a form of post-industrial ambient mixed with analogical echoes of the 70’s and the 80’s, all combined with cold digital sequences and an obsessive metronomic minimalism. A lot of tension and hypno runs through the rhythms o…

Ten years after his death, some first live perfomances by the italian (born in Padua) composer and organist Wolfango Dalla Vecchia, pupil of Goffredo Petrassi and for a long time collaborator at the Padua University Sonology Center (Centro di Sonologia dell'Università di Padova).

The second full-length from Judah who have been described as the Italian Suicide. Indeed, cold and analogue minimal electronics with really toxic and vicious vocal parts. An incredible collision between the rock'n'roll mood of the sixties and the savage punk electronic world of early Suicide.

Chaos is an open project for improvisation. Open to such an extent to take the liberty, as in this event, to have, as guests, musicians met the very same evening. Quattordicidodicizerodue distils - in a unique uninterrupted set - sound alchemies created with electric guitars, computer, synths and electric/acoustic percussions.

In this double live album, the CHAOS project appears as a trio (the original elements), floating through noise and electronica, ethnics and ambient, showing off ethnic instruments, manipulated trumpets, real time sequencering, visionary guitars, creating a continuum rich in tensions and relaxations, and all rigorously as improvisation! The CD contains also a multimedia track featuring a couple of video extracts from the live.

Composed by Chaos for the installation "Di acqua e di respiro" by Elisa Nogarin at the Studio Menguante, Filanda Motta di Campocroce, Mogliano V.to (TV), on the occasion of "Open Studio", october 21st 2006.

A record for double-bass (adding here and there a cello and some recorded voices). Felice Del Gaudio mixes multiple tracks with his instrument and creates atmospheres keeping alwais a convinced attachment to his land (Basilicata, his native soil) and the popular roots, even if he uses a very free and creative language, peculiar to jazz, and also, as a learned composer, doesn't disdain atmospheres typical for chamber music. In short, a record following the path traced by artists like Renaud Gacia…

Still living in the mythical landscapes SAND not only created Golem who was a being of the earth. Something else pulsated with a different energy of oscillation. The invisible beings of the air performed their dances. The Golem was large, mighty and of compact matter. He needed an external spirit to be navigated. Sylph creatures moved with the clouds and the wind – from gentle breezes to violent storms, always sensitive to the chimes of the motions. The sylphs are the children of the moonlight a…

Over 5 Decades Sand is a timeless narrative machine full of pictures and scenarios, each title a unique piece that stands alone. The vibrating cloud floats powerfully across the vast expanses of sand, telling stories of confusion and aberration, rape of the planet, of the tenderness, hidden power and fragility of existence, the voracious digital demons, the loss of innocence in a surreal drama we call: World.

2024 stock. Bryn Jones, AKA Muslimgauze, recorded this album in December 1995, just three years before his early and unexpected death at the age of 38. In the last years of his life Bryn acquired as much of the latest technology for his home studio as he could lay his hands on, and the advances and developments in his music reflected his growing proficiency with his new equipment. “Alms for Iraq” therefore has many of the hallmark sounds of the late-era Muslimgauze recordings already released, w…

2024 stock. Speaker of Turkish is one of several albums recorded by Bryn Jones aka Muslimgauze in a final year-long burst of creativity that peaked in the spring of 1998, shortly before his sudden and unexpected death on January 14, 1999. Musically, “Speaker of Turkish” is comparable to “Your Mines in Kabul”, which was recorded just a few months before this album. Never one to waste space on a CD, Bryn committed 73 minutes of music to the master tape, and as with so many other of his recordings,…

2024 stock. Bryn Jones died January 14, 1999. The man best known as Muslimgauze was 37 years old, and at the peak of his career. During his short life he recorded an astonishing number of albums, some 200 at last count, a great many of them in years immediately preceding his death. Indeed, his output was so great that his labels couldn’t keep up with the virtual flood of music he produced. It’s no wonder new material continues to surface so long after his passing. “Uzi Mahmood” was recorded to s…
