**200g super-heavyweight vinyl and presented in a re-print of the original sleeve** In 1975 with King Crimson on hiatus (as it would remain until 1980), Robert Fripp's appearances on album or on stage were rare. When he did appear, it was with Brian Eno. Circumstances following an accident in January 1975 led to Eno formulating the idea of ambient music as detailed in the notes to Discreet Music - released in December 1975. The title track of Discreet Music was initially conceived as a backing l…

Cocteau Twins' third album from 1984, the first with Simon Raymonde alongside Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie, reissued by 4AD on 180g vinyl with new masters from high definition transfers of the original analogue tapes.

2022 Re-press on limited edition Curacao colour vinyl * Stone cold classic Cabaret Voltaire from 1983, resplendent in a new master, and framing the band getting electro-funky after the departure of Chris Watson - a huge influence on everyone from Ministry and NIN to Mark Fell and even early Goa types  ‘The Crackdown’ marks the point, after Chris Watson’s departure, when the Sheffield legends bridged earlier experimental urges with a funkier steez owing heavily to Afro-American dance music. As th…

The second part of Matador’s reissues of the essential early records by Texas’s Butthole Surfers continues with three of their most insane slabs -- 1985’s ‘Cream Corn from the Socket of Davis,’ 1987’s ‘Locust Abortion Technician’ and 1988’s ‘Hairway to Steven.’ The period during which these records were first issued parallels the Buttholes’ transition from being weirdo Texas outcasts to becoming internationally recognized smut-kings of the American underground. In 1985 they were still the sole p…

Perennials is the latest full-length from Toronto-based anthéne (aka Brad Deschamps), who builds transportive, beautifully detailed sonic worlds using only a guitar, sampler, and modest cache of pedals. Here, his refined treatments, manipulations, and experimentations blend seamlessly with an innate sense of harmonic layering to create an impression of seasonal cycles and their relationship to the human experience at scale. “winter chords” opens with slow serenity and a faint suggestion of hiber…

Lamasz and Grandbruit return to Past Inside the Present for the first time in more than five years with Fictions, the first collaborative recording from brothers Pier-Luc and Francis Tremblay. Following four acclaimed solo releases across the label, Fictions brings together the defining elements of both artists into a single body of work. Drawing from the tape loop driven structures of Nature Morte (PITP-C016, 2020) and Broderie (PITP-C021, 2021), alongside the layered guitar compositions and en…

"In the fall of 2016, after many years away from making music, I started Tyresta as a creative outlet to help process everything I was going through at the time. It took me a few years to find my voice as an artist, but I feel like the project truly came into its own around 2019–2020 with the recording and release of All We Have on PITP. After releasing All We Have and its follow-up, Small Hours (2023)—albums centered on grief, loss, and healing—I found myself wanting to write music that reflect…

*200 copies limited edition* Hild is the first full-length collaboration between zakè (Zach Frizzell) and UK-based rhubiqs (Tom Squires), whose transcontinental dialogue yields an avalanche of deep drone, spacious piano, and immersive texture, alternately colossal and weightless. Both artists have released solo works with Germany’s Affin label (headed by Joachim Spieth and Markus Guentner), where their kinship found its footing in naturally-inspired environments full of rich harmony and understa…

The life and work of Maryanne Amacher are as vast as they are as yet unknown. A heterodox and idiosyncratic selection of largely unpublished documents spanning the bandwidth of the still unprocessed contents of the Amacher archive.

*500 copies limited edition* After more than four years in the works, I am beyond elated to announce the release of ballastnvp067: The Hafler Trio: If Take, Then Take: Tricks, Half-Tricks & Real Phenomena (2 x CD, DVD, cards, and enamel pin in custom fabricated box). I originally released If Take, Then Take: Tricks, Half-Tricks & Real Phenomena in 2005 as a vinyl record, and it didn’t go off without a hitch or two. (In the end, I played almost every copy prior to sending it to a customer or dist…

On Muuntaja / Murtaja, Pan Sonic in their Vainio–Väisänen–Salo phase deliver two 1994 shockwaves of beat science: brutally reduced, system‑stressing tracks that turn the dance floor into a pressure chamber of pure voltage and rhythm.

*2024 stock* Panasonic tracks remixed by Zoviet France and Muslimgauze

Kuvio is one of the all time classic techno tracks. B-side is Mika Vainio's richer original veresion of Sähkö Movie soundtrack Scene 1.

John Coltrane died at age 40, and in retrospect it seems as if the intensity of activity in his last years, the sheer torrent of notes, was an attempt at purging the music from his soul before it was too late. The guitarist Jack Rose died at 38, in 2009, and listening back to his catalog one has a similar notion. Like Coltrane, Jack Rose’s last years were marked by a shimmering intensity, an outpouring of his spirit, onto audiences and records. I believe Jack Rose felt the duty of preservation b…

Jack Rose was a practitioner of his own unique brand of modern Appalachia, a master of the steel string, whether finger picking or playing with a slide, Rose can coax amazing sounds from a guitar, and all by his lonesome create lush steel string guitarscapes, that range from haunting and mysterious to folky and familiar. This lp originally released in 2008 gathers up three long live tracks, all quite different. The first is a track from Kensington Blues, a big favorite around here, recorded…

Back in the day, a new Jack Rose record was always cause for celebration around here. Along with James Blackshaw, Ilyas Ahmed, Richard Bishop and a few others, Rose was one of the new modern masters of the steel string guitar, helping to reinvent and redefine neo-Appalachia or modern folk or whatever you want to call it.Dr. Ragtime from 2008, features more of Rose's gorgeous steel string beauty, gossamer sheets of buzzing shimmer, droning ragas, traditional bluegrass, slippery slide, melancholy …

In mulling over their career, it’s staggering to realize that Sonic Youth not only delivered a healthy slab of releases as a unit but also have a myriad of shelved material still waiting for broader ears. While the group’s current Bandcamp abode lays out a generous amount of it, a bunch more has yet to surface. And it’s a massive mountain to chip away at in the sense of the group output alone; individual members’ projects are a whole other game, needless to say. "In/Out/In" ably delivers a new s…

Three Lobed and Sunburned Hand of the Man have a long history. The label has been releasing the group’s output for nearly two of its three decades of making music. As Sunburned has picked up momentum again in recent years, the label’s been right there, releasing the highly acclaimed "Pick a Day to Die" in 2020, and in late 2022 reissuing a 20th anniversary edition of "Headdress", the classic and confounding first Sunburned LP. Label head Cory Rayborn acted as the catalyst for storyteller Kelly D…

'I’ll set the scene – we’re all passed out face-down in the lawn of the first Bush term, scratching our heads after 9/11 and wondering how much more dystopian it’s about to get. Ash hangs in the air as we march toward endless war, and the activities of the post-hippie, post-beat, post-punk, post-jazz, post-industrial, post-experimental bohemian underground flail against the avalanche with a mystic fire you can’t get your arms around, let alone bottle up for consumption. Jars of tears, rockets fr…

On his 2023 release “Arc Of Day” Danny Paul Grody gathered an ensemble of musicians and gave us compositions that conjured not just bird-like flights but the supportive skeleton of a bird itself - intricate, delicate, but able to carry a body (or a listener) through bright, airy spaces. That same ensemble, since renamed the Danny Paul Grody Duo, now bring us "Arc Of Night" - a sister collection to "Arc Of Day", shaped from core collaborations between Grody and percussionist/drummer Rich Douthit …

Mika Vainio's first album that many regard as one of the most essential foundations of electronic music.

Essential Re-issue of this stone cold classic .First released in 2006 Written and produced by Mika Vainio in Turku 1992-1993. Mastered at Dubplates & Mastering by Rashad Becker.

2024 Repress. Truly essential double LP set by Finnish legend, Mika Vaino

The second in a series of posthumous Mika Vainio releases on Säkhö, celebrating the work of a true, electronic music visionary. The tracks on Kiteet, released under Vainio’s Ø alias, were initially written for the 1997 Snow-Crash exhibition in Milan but never used. Five of the eight tracks found their way onto later albums, three have never been released anywhere. As you would expect from an artist with Vainio’s immense stature and pioneering legacy, Kiteet is a mesmerising listen, built from so…

This music does not come out of nowhere. It comes from a guitar amplifier and a drum kit, and you are standing directly in front of them. And it’s beautiful, all dozen tracks of the Gunn-Truscinski Duo’s "Soundkeeper": beautiful loud exchanges between Steve Gunn’s shimmer-blast guitar and John Truscinski’s outside-in drums, beautiful quiet exchanges that hum, beautiful melodies that evoke long-lost screen worlds and old filmstock, beautiful phrases that telescope into saturating pinwheels.  With…

"We have here three musicians with such a rich shared history that they might as well share the same blood. Each an accomplished solo artist in their own right, there’s a vibrant track record of collaborative work as well, with others and among themselves. The Gunn-Truscinski Duo has been a formal going concern for nearly a decade and a half, producing a fabulous string of albums for this label. Truscinski and Nace, along with Jake Meginksy, make up xo4, a group dating back to the early days of …

ICR is proud to announce the re-release of a double CD of 2 seminal works of UK electroacoustic music by Trevor Wishart. "This Double Album brings together many of my major pieces from the last 40 years. "Red Bird" has been held up as a pioneering work, using both a "cinematic" approach to audio, and sound morphing, especially because it predates the use of computers but prefigures many of the techniques later used for making computer sound art. "Anticredos" brought together my research int…

**2020 small repress** "Following the Second World War (1945-1949), Beirut established itself as the cultural capital of the Middle East, with the Lebanese music scene leading the way. Lebanese music has a distinct sound due to the country’s unique fusion of Western and Eastern influences. Even Lebanese folk compositions often reference Western contemporary music. After 15 years of civil war and a decade of post war rehabilitation, the situation of alternative art and especially music was very p…

* Edition of 200 * China’s experimental music and sound art scene began to take shape in the post-Tiananmen era in the late 1990s. A few musicians from the mainland’s underground music scene started to experiment with new ways of making music while the music industry co-opted the once revolutionary and independent rock music scene. The Hong Kong based experimental musician Dickson Dee and the U.S. based artist Dajuin Yao introduced Western avant-garde, experimental music to the mainland through …

*100 copies limited edition* This new chapter of the Sound Mapping series focuses on Portugal, tracing a cartography of contemporary electroacoustic practices that unfold across a wide and diverse spectrum. The compilation presents a constellation of approaches that oscillate between abstract electronics, music directly influenced by Iberian tradition, ritualistic impulses, and slow-moving electroacoustic drone. What emerges is a porous sonic territory shaped by memory, landscape, and experiment…
