Clarté Déserte
*100 copies limited edition on clear vinyl* New 10 track studio album by Andrew Chalk and Timo van Luijk, recorded 2020-2021 at Impression Lointaine and Kulta Saha.
"Forth unobserved I wentIn darkness and security,By the secret ladder, in disguise,In secret, seen of none,Oh night more lovely than the dawn!Lost to all things and myself,And, amid the lillies forgotten,Threw all my cares away"
Lac Noir - La Serpente 1992
Unreleased material composed by Bernard Parmegiani in 1992
Superstitions
Often dark, sometimes repetitive or experimental, sometimes rhythmical and exotic, always based on emotion inducted by the Sound. One could define it as dark age music (as opposite to new age music), a sort of minimal come back to the roots and purity of acoustic sound without the cultural background linked to the 'academic' use of some instruments (for example African senzas are transformed and tuned to sound like Indonesian instruments, sitar or harmonium are used as rhythmical instruments, va…
Uzed
Uzed is the fourth album by Belgian band Univers Zero. It was released three years after 'Ceux du Dehors', due to a change in line-up and a new repertoire, although the EP 'Crawling Wind' had been released in the meantime. The album marked a turning point for the band. Univers Zero explored new electric colors, giving it a more rock feel with the addition of new musicians such as Jean-Luc Plouvier, who introduced the synthesizer, guitarist Michel Delory, who played a memorable solo in 'Célesta (…
Rhythm Immortal
Carrier’s debut album features eight elegantly rude arrangements that dance in negative space between Photek’s frictional syncopations, Rhythm & Sound’s dubwise minimalism and Torsten Pröfrock’s fractured dynamics, bolstered on two tracks by contributions from Voice Actor & Memotone, summoning a noirish, jazzier frisson to his signature metrics and temporalities.
Voltage Controlled Broken TV Music
Edition of 100, signed and numbered. In the last 10 years Akira Matsuoka (aka Veltz) has established himself as a key figure in the next generation of Tokyo noise artists.

Vol. 4 Jo Maka
Music-lovers of all lands, rejoice! Here you have the re-release of the fourth album of the Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra recorded with the Guinean saxophonist Jo Maka. The title says it all: Vol.4: Jo Maka. But before that, a bit of history: The Intercommunal Free Dance Music Orchestra was created in 1971 by an "old hand" of French free jazz, François Tusques. "Free Jazz" was also the name of the recording made by the pianist and other like-minded Frenchmen (Michel Portal, François J…
Après la Marée Noire
If the jazz of François Tusques is “free”, his spirit is even more so: having recorded Free Jazz with other like-minded Frenchmen (Michel Portal, François Jeanneau, Bernard Vitet, Beb Guérin and Charles Saudrais), the pianist had covered a lot of ground, with Barney Wilen (Le Nouveau Jazz) or even solo (Piano Dazibao and Dazibao N°2), so as not to repeat himself…
In 1971 he founded the Inter Communal Free Dance Music Orchestra which, as the notes the this album stated, “is an interpretation of a…
American Bus
On American Bus, Jason Black and Arawak ride a 1977 dream of the U.S. West Coast: lean, blues‑edged funk‑rock cues, honking sax and one off‑route reggae detour, all conceived as Italian library visions of San Francisco from behind a bus window.
Clic
180gr. Black vinyl. There is no figure in Italian music, nor within the country’s shimmering, expansive avant-garde, who demands the respect and awe offered to Franco Battiato. He is the beginning and the end. An artist whose output, stretching across six decades, is so diverse and singular, that it defies any concrete definition - darting from psychedelic Prog, definitive gestures in the history of Minimalism, to the heights of explicit Pop. Like many of his contemporaries, Battiato’s journey t…
Anima Latina
‘Anima Latina', Lucio Battisti's ninth studio album. It is considered one of the most beautiful and important records in the history of Italian music.
The album was conceived after a trip to Latin America and marks a clear break from previous production.
Il Nostro Caro Angelo
Il Nostro Caro Angelo by Lucio Battisti is a crucial milestone marking the artist’s shift towards rock-oriented structures and deeper, more critical lyricism. The music is more electric, the arrangements more varied, as Battisti and Mogol probe the complexities of ideals and disillusionment, forging a sound that is both accessible and challenging. Each track acts as both confrontation and invitation, demanding listeners reassess inherited truths through fresh sonic and poetic codes.
Umanamente Uomo: il Sogno
Umanamente Uomo: il Sogno by Lucio Battisti reinvents Italian pop with a poetic blend of nostalgia, emotional candor, and stylistic exploration. Mogol's lyrics navigate the complexities of memory, longing, and everyday struggles, set against Battisti's evolving sound, which balances melodic intimacy with touches of folk, progressive, and pop arrangements. These eight tracks, including enduring classics, reveal an artist at the peak of his expressive powers, fusing personal narrative with broader…
Ultimo Tango a Parigi
The soundtrack for “Last Tango in Paris” (1972), composed by Argentine saxophonist Gato Barbieri, is one of the most iconic works in cinematic history, perfectly capturing the emotions and themes of this controversial masterpiece by Bernardo Bertolucci. The film, brilliantly acted by Marlon Brando and Maria Schneider, delves into desire, pain, and loneliness through an intensely physical and clandestine relationship between two strangers in Paris. Barbieri's music is a blend of sensuality, melan…

Battling the Invisible
Edition of 300. Comes with a 8-page booklet. In 1969, while American minimalism was consolidating into its most recognizable forms, Charlemagne Palestine was conducting solitary experiments with oscillators and sine waves that only now reveal their visionary scope. This was the New York of lofts and abandoned industrial spaces, of artists pushing sound toward its physical limits - a city where the boundaries between music, performance art, and bodily endurance were dissolving. Battling the Invis…
