Far Cry
Temporary super offer! "Their music reaches from blues to jazz into space", proclaimed the original liner notes to this highly collectible record, just released in 1968. Hailing from Boston, the Far Cry were a talented seven-piece blending psych rock and r&b, in the vein of Blood, Sweat & Tears and Rare Earth, with a further look into the realms of Beefheart Magic Band and John Cipollina's Quicksilver Messenger Service. Their sole album still maintain a distinctive sound, melting acid guitar, sa…
Conversations
** 2021 Repress ** If Conversations celebrates the memory, the artistic and spiritual heritage of bassist Fred Hopkins -- a historical member of the revolutionary Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians of Chicago -- who died in January 1999, it also marks the amazing collaboration between the Ritual Trio of Kahil El'Zabar (with Ari Brown and Malachi Favors) and the intrepid veteran Archie Shepp, the great voice of the '70s Afro-free-jazz. Being a tribute that invites to an intimat…
Sagittarian Domain
*2023 repress. In process of stocking* "For anyone who still associates Oren Ambarchi exclusively with the clipped, bass-heavy tones of solo electric guitar works such as Suspension, this rhythmically churning one-man-band monster of an album-length piece might seem to come out of nowhere. However, listeners who have followed the breadth of his work for the last few years (solo and in projects with collaborators from Jim O’Rourke to Stephen O’Malley and Keith Rowe to Keiji Haino) will have noted…
Nothing Is What It Seems
2011 release ** "Last effort of 2011 for Gianluca Becuzzi this Nothing Is What It Seems, which is published at the end of the year by Silentes with a splendid graphic based on photos by Stefano Gentile and artwork by Andrea Marutti; Claudio Rocchetti completes the team of collaborators contributing with “sound objects” in a couple of tracks. All the rest (composition, production and mastering) is by Becuzzi. Nothing is as it seems tells us the title, and leads us to think that the sounds we hea…

[In]visible Fields
2011 release ** "Gianluca Becuzzi is an italian electronic / electroacoustic composer and sound artist active since the first half of the 80’s. He released many albums and performed live around Europe during the last three decades under various names. Since 1999, his artistic production is characterised by a strong experimental imprint and by a clear aesthetic inclination towards abstract forms and micro / macro noises / sounds. He deals with electronic / electroacoustic composition, sound art,…
Because Tomorrow Comes #3
2000 release ** Volume 3 of this forum and magazine for sound-art in the form of an audio CD. It compiles contributions from artists who have chosen for the acoustics as working field, starting from the visual aspect and going to the musical one, then trying to promote the teachings of their sound art. The final purpose is to present it as a 'listenable exhibition'. So, a magazine to listen to, with, most of the time sound contributions, but also f.e. spoken words from the artists and varying te…
:existence
2001 release ** Limited hand-numbered edition of 500 copies. "This is the first real CD release from the German Anemone Tube, previously having released a load of tapes, vinyl and CDRs. Originally this was supposed to be Anemone Tubes last release, as Stefan was meaning to stop making noise and to concentrate on his graphic designing. Nonetheless, as the text 'A new beginning " in the inner sleeve of this CD suggests, Stefan has maybe decided to continue with Anemone Tube and apparently is prep…
Agaspastik
2009 release ** "Try to imagine Kevin Drumm and Bhob Rainey playing rock together, with a drummer that deviate their already deviant music playing something coming from the sixties. The aim is to make music “not playing” (barbarous music, quoting Cornelius Cardew), a torn body that spits blood, whose only movement is generated by spastic contractions due to injuries. Agaspastik represents the “step beyond” of A Spirale, that from electroacoustic destructuration of “Porosità” (cd-r) and “Gariga” …
Waiting For The Twilight
2002 release ** "T.A.C. is a group of sonic alchemists who fuse synthetics, strings, acoustic instruments and treatments into a tapestry of psycho/ambient soundscapes filled with hypnotic atmospheres and synthetic incantations. It is surreal, cerebral and unique "cosmic" music of a new sort. "Waiting for the Twilight" announces the return of T.A.C. after five years from their previous release "Apotropaismo". After a long time of hibernating sleep, this unforgetted experienced italian band is bac…
Primo Tempo
2005 release ** "Composition is a manual act. Notes written by pen on the staff. The game (or challenge) is write music for musicians in the flesh - playing, toiling and becoming excited - and then feeding it to a computer. In this record we attend to man-machine and digital-analogic relations in a continuous chasing - and nearly seeking - each other. Opposites unable (maybe) to deprive themself from the other. A continuous process starting from the composition act up to the final mastering. In …
Regno Di Pianta
2004 release ** "Third Reutoff album, initially released in 2000 as a CDR limited to 100, has been finally re-released by Ewers Tonkunst. Being the darkest, gloomiest and most industrial album of the project, Regno Di Pianta has become one of the most sought after Reutoff release during last few years. Dense and sombre dark-ambient intertwined with noises and sprinkles of voice and cello samples stand in ones light leaving nothing but eternal dusk of the misty reign of suffer and solitude - the…
Il Sonno Del Sogno
2001 release ** "Italian act Runes Order (Claudio Dondo) started in 1988, and have released more than 30 releases in 3 decades. Here they present an evocative mixture of cold beauty and melancholic grace. Introspective, meditative, deep-hidden emotions, resulting in a classic Darkwave / Dark Ambient album. "Il Sonno Del Sogno" (the sleep of a dream) is the music from a performance of Element/i - Trapobana, which premiered in in a short and experimental version at the Teatro dell'Acquario of Cose…
Japanese Avant-Garde
2002 release ** "Most music in Japan has little to recommend it; it is a sonic equivalent of those brutal concrete towers or the transitory chaos of multi-storey teen-fashion emporia in Aoyama. But a sonic underground thrives, creatively if not financially, and perhaps it should be compared with the shabby Golden-gai drinking dens of Shinjuku, faint reminders of a lost time when desire and transgression shared endless cups of sake with political and artistic radicalism... How is it possible to l…
Untree
2008 release ** "The minimalism that Andrea Sartori had proposed to us some time ago, rich in live sound objects, field recordings in tune with ambient, returns deprived of the connection with the dancefloor in this beautiful album by Mou, lips!, a sonic creation by Andrea Gabriele. The proposal inevitably hooks up with the sandy drifts of Boards of Canada in the very hot incipit Non è colpa mia! to then move on to a meditative journey made of acoustic guitars (for INstruments), trumpets and cla…
Lalienation
2010 release ** "Sabine Ercklentz plays trumpet and electronics and Andrea Neumann plays inside piano and mixing desk. Especially music by the latter we came across in the field of improvisation, and this disc is surely another fine work in that direction. But its also an expansion of their territory. Somewhere in the second piece, the title piece there is all of a sudden a rhythm coming in, which must be like heresy in the world of improvisation. The whole work is pretty vibrant with the trumpe…
The Bellow Switch
2009 release ** "'The Bellow Switch' features the remarkable sounds of Sarah Kenchington's mechanical instruments. All the instruments were played by Sarah, and the sounds were then recorded, edited and arranged by Daniel Padden (Volcano the Bear)."
SoundEnergyTransformation
2018 release ** "Multi-reedist Udo Schindler is captured live at Ars Musica, in Stemmerhof, Munich performing on clarinet, soprano sax, and euphonium in a trio with sound artist Korhan Erel and trombonist Sebastiano Tramontana, a uniquely voiced concert that places intricate reed and brass playing against unusual electronic interactions, balancing energetic and spacious moments. This is not your typical ea-improv, Erel adding a unique set of concrete interventions and unexpected rhythmic ornamen…
The Time Of The Ancient Astronaut
2001 release ** "The Spaceheads and Max Eastley have sculpted a complete work from a clash of ancient and future technologies. Music as, crafted soundscapes, sculptured washes of sound, deep textures, broad melodic invention, spontaneous meetings. The Spaceheads have been hurtling down a unique path of their own for many years now. This duo mix trumpet and electronics with drums and percussion. Plaintive trumpet calls are looped across pulsing beats that propel us into sheets of metal crashing a…
