2012 release ** Packaged in fabric sleeve. "Behind Me And The White Lash are Stefano De Ponti of Passo Uno and Eleonora Pellegrini. The project accentuates on one hand the ambient/soundtrack vocation of Passo Uno, on the other it merges it with more traditional forms, giving life to gentle and dry “songs”, almost folk one might write, during which you can appreciate Eleonora’s voice: the contemplative “The Island”, for example, not to mention a sorrowful “La Morte Del Tocco”. Part of this materi…

2019 release ** Zachary Paul's debut album for Touch, A Meditation On Discord, compiles two live recordings from 2018 and a short film score, showcasing his expressive range and unique playing style.

2012 release ** "Estasy is the project of Emiliano Maggi, an Italian singer/songwriter who has spent the last couple of years releasing low-key CD-Rs and collaborating with artists and filmmakers in Rome. A lot of the time his live performances with other artists, well-documented on YouTube, are set to spooky visuals, and in those that aren't Maggi wears quite frightening masks. Sure, quite a bit of that does sound like the sort of standard gimmickry rife in 2012, but there's something about Emi…

2010 release ** "This is a repressing of orchestramaxfieldparrish's 'Crossing Of Shadows' album. Originally released in 2007 it's been treated to a makeover (remaster) and reissued with a bonus reconstructed version of 'Thirst' (originally in the soundtrack for the film 'Caligari: An Exquisite Corpse') added as a cheeky bonus. orchestramaxfieldparrish's music is the height of ambient bleakness. Constructed from treated and non-treated field recordings with occasional appearances from guitar, pia…

2006 release ** "A collaborative one-track mini-cd from US Tidal (aka David Brownstead, ex-666 Volt Battery Noise, and currently involved in the militan zionist project Barzel) and Dutch Peter Duimelinks (known for his activity in THU20, Kapotte Muziek and Goem), clothed in two splendid photos by Alluvial's own Kevin Wienke. The work is inspired by the Jewish purification ritual, but as the cd gives no further information about that I will stick to the music - which by the way is excellent. "Abl…

2007 release ** "Symballein is the second Troum release on the Small Voices label after "Autopoiesis" LP picture disc. This album is a collection of very rare material, from the very beginning of Troum (period: 1997 - 1999). As Troum meaning the music is dreamy... The concept of the ‘Dream’ is the common thread running through Troum; the name, the music and the philosophy. For not only is Troum the old German word for "dream" but, according to their website, ‘the dream, seen as a central manifes…

2013 release ** "Chrs Galarreta (Peru). Very active in the South American experimental scene since 1995. Founder member of the independent label and association Aloardi. The sublime and the uncertainty are present in his actions, he gets them using broken electrical appliances, homemade audiovisual instruments, field streaming, field recordings, feedback systems, the induction of errors in the software-hardware and in the way to play musical instruments. Born in 1979, Anthony Baron lives and wor…

2005 release ** "In "Rhythmajik", Z'EV has radically reformulated the mystical tradition commonly known as the Qabalha from an Astral/Cosmological focus, to an Earth-based paradigm, in harmony with the needs of our current time. It requires no knowledge of the Qabalha, nor does it assume or call for a prior knowledge of any of the traditional literatures. Stripping away the mysticism surrounding these teachings, Z'EV elucidates the principles behind the theories and transmits the results in as n…

2008 release ** "The second in Kreuzung collaborations series. The basic sound sources and samples made by Reutoff especially for this release have been treated, arranged and mixed with an addition of their own instrumental parts by Troum. Dark profound harsh ambient with some occasional rhythmic patterns intertwined with transcendental prepared guitar loops and perfect drone noises - a perfect blend between two project distinctive features and creative manners. The concept of this work is based…

2011 release ** "The debut release from Lanterner was recorded in a scummy practice pit and a high end media arts research institute. Borrowing the keys, late at night, this release was culled from live sessions, practice sessions, late night overdubs and mistakes. A quickly fastened mic in a practice space to carefully mic’d headphones in a cardboard box - techniques chosen for mood gold not textbooks. These songs Throb and Drift with a Lean Tension and pulsing, dreamt, attempt at escape(s), du…

2013 release ** "Three pieces recorded live in 2007 but just released. Ultra-quiet approach of electroacoustic improvisation. Guionnet on sax and microphones, La Casa on microphones and laptop, Samartzis on laptop and electronics. All three also play (with) silence. Each sonic intervention is delicated set in relation with what is (and is not) around it. Three sound stories with a thin yet consistent abstract narrative."

2005 release ** Limited edition of 200 copies. "The Iberian trio of Fages, Barberan and Costa Monteiro have been working together in Barcelona for long enough now to have developed a distinct language of tension, scraped metallic dynamics and a rough, textural abrasiveness. A trio with a great, off-kilter and unexpected instrumentation (there can’t be many acoustic turntable/ engines, trumpet and accordion trios kicking about Barcelona – although it’s a while since I’ve been there) they build lo…

2011 release ** Limited to 200 copies. "Alessandra Rombolá (flutes and objects) and Michel Doneda (soprano and sopranino saxophones, radio, objects) set off to discover rare birds whose breath provides the momentum: plaintive, expressive, even vocal birds, or more common game which, if it doesn't play the overdeveloped braggart a bit, is all the more forgotten. In place of songs, which follow one another, it seems, according to the artificial development of the said species (from fragments of pi…

2017 release ** "GUO is the duo of guitarist and singer Daniel Blumberg (Hebronix, The Howling Hex) and saxophonist Seymour Wright. Both use heavy distortion and extreme amplification which is later processed and manipulated with metal cassettes to create a multi-layered, lacquered object of sinister, fizzing, metallic beauty. GUO1 with text by David Toop, was the beginning of an on-going series of releases that include etchings made by the duo and a piece of ekphrasis from a creative writer res…

2012 release ** "Darius Ciuta, Lithuanian architect, sound artist, born 1966, is an artist that definitely can not be pigeonholed for the marketing purposes of narrative and aesthetic unidrectional coherence, although if you stand between and shuffle through his work you will find a labyrinth of communicating vessels. His works  explore continuously new alphabets spectrums, building an intricate vocabulary of frequencies and densities as translations and transformations (exchange between sound a…

2009 release ** Limited edition of 100 hand-numbered copies. "RCF's '0509' cd is the first release by the Misengarde label, an awesome improvised album between the so-called onkyo and noise tout-court, Asmus Tietchens and Keith Rowe; RCF (Ciro Fioratti) wander lonely through his mc505 frequencies in order to make them talk freely, finding a hidden life and reacting against the machine wild language. The disc had been recorded in May 2009 playing the mc505, a mixer and a small multi fx rack; no e…

2004 release (light storage wear) ** "Guy De Bièvre, a Belgian composer and guitarist, worked in the urban environment of New York until he focused on a particular sound frequency (60 Hz), then isolated it and assembled it in the various sequences that make up this portrait of Manhattan. The various compositions go to `simulate` different auditory approaches: linear - simulation of a walk on Broadway, approximately from 123rd Street to Battery Park; circular - simulation of listening from the to…

2018 release ** "“score” or inspiration for this CD was a solo concert of Burkhard Stangl at the Reheat festival at Kleylehof in 2014. The theme of the performance was the song Bésame Mucho by the Mexican composer Consuelo Velázquez.  Chesterfield then took the recording and recomposed it, and composed new pieces mixing everything with old and new recordings, home recordings, accidental recordings, live performances ... all Chesterfield from 2013 till now... a Chesterfield diary of songs, of noi…

**Finally repressed / repackaged on CD format for these incredible remastered / reissues from 2008. ** A Gilded Eternity is the third and final album from Loop, it originally came out in January 1990, and was recently reissued as part of the Loop Remasters on 2CD in 2009. The 7 tracks on the album (plus the two tracks on the bonus 7”) are from a band at the absolute peak of their power; there was far more to Loop than bludgeoning riffs and cranking up the gain control. Here was a band that also …

Remastered CD reissue + additional CD with bonus tracks and Peel Session. Had Loop been present at Woodstock, they probably would have hatched a plan to obtain all the brown acid that Wavy Gravy warned spectators not to take. After hearing his declaration that "The brown acid's a bummer, man!," Robert Hampson and his droogs would have likely gone incognito as security staff, offering to rid the concert goers of the bad trips waiting to be had. They would have procedeed to ingest what they could …

Remastered CD reissue + additional CD with bonus tracks, guitar loops and Peel Session. Distinguishing one Loop record from another is nearly as tricky as doing the same for the Ramones or AC/DC. Since Loop more or less stuck to one thing, remaining consistently great and gradually developing an experimentalist streak throughout their brief lifespan, the actual sound of each record is what separates one from the next. Aside from increasing control over their instruments, there isn't a great deal…

At that time the tenth Embryo LP, recorded in India in 1976 and in Switzerland in 1977, released in 1978 on the April label. Again in the well-known Embryo style: progressive jazz-rock with strong world music influences and only occasional vocals. The vinyl has never been reissued, there was a CD edition in 1999 on Disconforme, but it has long since been cancelled. A very relaxed album, and while there are occasional highlights in individual contributions, the overall impression is that it just …

After their psychedelic and bluesy beginnings, Missus Beastly had been playing instrumental jazz-rock since 1974. This was also the case here at their performance at the Haus der Jugend in Minden on Friday, January 23rd, 1976. In the same month, just a few days before, they had also recorded their then third LP 'Dr. Aftershave and the mixed-pickles', then still with Jürgen Benz. So the pieces on the Minden CD contain some elements of the LP tracks, but nothing more. It wasn't that the pieces wer…

*2023 stock* "Xhol was one of the first bands who participated at the send of the 60s to the launch of the Krautrock movement in Germany. Nevertheless their music cannot be categorised. Their roots came from rhythm'n blues with soul tendencies. With their second album "electrip" they rapidly found their own style which can be considered as an original fusion of free jazz, psychedelic rock and electronic experimentations. Very dynamic their jazz rock can sometimes be compared with the spirit of t…

*2023 stock* Epidermis were founded in Idstein, Germany, in 1971. They played some complex and sophisticated rock music, often compared with Gentle Giant, Yes and the Canterbury scene. 'June 1975' has not been released on any physical format back then, and has been made available for the first time. The 20-page booklet in LP size contains a long band history in German and English lyrics and a detailed discography.

*2023 stock* 'Often referred by the title Free Electric Sound, Gila's debut is an amazing work, full of acid guitar freakouts, spacy organ and mellotron, exotic rhythm structures, and loads of electronic effects to fully realize the psychedelic visions. From the Floyd-ian space rock of the first two tracks the record moves into even stranger realms on the four segued pieces that make up the second side of the original vinyl. "Kollaps" starts off with ritualistic drumming, a creepy organ riff, a …
