In the Wind of Night, Hard-Fallen Incantations Whisper
"Širom fashion maximalist avant-garde soundscapes from antique acoustic instruments like the balafon and hurdy gurdy. Their artfully rootless roots music makes an impassioned statement both aesthetically and, more opaquely, politically too.” - Uncut The Slovenian avant-folk trio Širom are back with a sonically and thematically expansive 5th album; a thrilling follow-up to their widely praised 2022 release The Liquified Throne of Simplicity. Navigating almost two dozen instruments (some of which …
Candy Girl
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…
Il Grande Quarto D'Ora
1998 release ** "Il Grande Quarto D'Ora is an album by Giancarlo Locatelli and Franco Beltrametti, showcasing a unique blend of Italian musical styles. The record captures a sophisticated and possibly experimental soundscape that reflects the artists' deep musical expertise and creativity.
This album likely features a combination of rich instrumentation and evocative vocals, characteristic of both Locatelli's and Beltrametti's styles. Their collaboration suggests a well-crafted musical …
Fortepian Chopina
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…
Diciannove Calefazioni
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…

Calcutta Gas Chamber
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…
Introspettivo
“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.
La Haine
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
"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!!! An incredible collision between the savage electronic world of early Suicide and obscure industrial music à la NOVEMBER NOVELET...!!! Exciting, savage, wild... With a disturbing werewolf artcover.
Carpaccio Esistenziale
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…
Fallen Camellias
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
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…
Wolfango Dalla Vecchia Suona Wolfango Dalla Vecchia
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). This compact disc presents the major organ works (Gaudeamuscorale, Adagiosissimo, Seven corali in honour of J.S.Bach) and, in its absolute first execution, Media Vita for organ and magnetic tape, all performed in the ei…
Esperanto
2006 release ** "On their second album, the Italian duo formed by Enrico Marani (Le Forbici di Manitù) and Fabrizio Tavernelli (ex Afa) – dedicated to an avant-garde electronics that is not sung, but rather recited – continues to explore new languages suited to enhancing interpersonal communication and the representation of reality in all its modern complexity, without simplifications or trivializations. The album features a long list of guests, who contribute in varying degrees: there is Mass…
Judah
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.
Quattordicidodicizerodue
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.
Comme Au Temps Du Chaos
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.
