Drum Talk
1998 release (RARE) ** "This is a wonderful release capturing a live duo performance of percussionist Susie Ibarra and her mentor Denis Charles, who was active in free jazz from the time of recording on Cecil Taylor's earliest albums until his death just two months after this concert. Warm, intuitive, and often lovely, the music created by the two percussionists this day is worth sitting down and getting hypnotized by for awhile; a touching document of Charles and his legacy."
Striving For The Lazy Perfection + Singles
2005 release (RARE) ** Extended album with five bonus tracks from singles and demo sessions. "When indie pop fans speak of the fabled Sarah label and its roster, it seems that the Orchids are rarely afforded the same hushed, reverential tones received by the likes of the Field Mice or Heavenly, which is a great shame -- the Orchids were one of the finest bands Sarah ever produced, and their masterpiece Striving for the Lazy Perfection is as good as anything in the label's storied catalog. Encomp…
Guitar Granulizer
2004 release ** "53 minutes, 50 tracks. 50 improvisations on electric guitar's samples, one minute each, with no cuts, overdubs, sequencing etc. Artur Nowak: guitar, computer. Recorded January-March 2003 in Katowice. Play in random order. Cover art by The Tag Artist, a Reaktor instrument designed by Chris List. Intended to push the envelope of computer music towards unconstrained expression of free improvisation. Liquid soundscapes of gentle, ambient drones, impossible solos and layers of melodi…
Sonic Journey Through New Life
2006 release ** "A stylistic close to Selected Ambient Works - Aphex Twin. Music inspired by the birth of a new life. A clear canon of minimal music and the electro-acoustic school of noise generation. However, all this is atmospheric and muffled, so characteristic for Spika. The atmosphere of the album is definitely calm and although there are motor fragments, the compositions transport the listener into a distant, forgotten world - so close to each of us."
Bodysuit
2008 release ** "Turku's experimental and confusing band's fifth album from 2006. Very heavy industrial electro"
Laudanum
2007 release ** "An eerie and dark ambient musical project. This is the only album they ever released. All manipulations were created live and recorded to one single track."
Avatars Of Rape And Rage
2008 release ** "Avant garde noise with SM attitude"
Play Piano And Sounds
2011 release ** "Laurent Pernice and Laurent Perrier bear very similar names. But the closeness between the two artists goes beyond mere coincidence. Both are ex-members of Nox, the mythical rock industrial French band of the 1980's. Since then, they have built a true personal and artistic complicity. In 1997, Laurent Pernice quits Paris to live in Marseilles, South of France, where Laurent Perrier visits him regularly. In 2005, on occasion of one of his visits, Perrier is invited to listen to P…
Monolake
2005 release ** "The nearly seventy-minute live recording documents the ambient collaboration of Origami Galaktika with the Berlin project I:Wound and a lesser-known Norwegian, calling himself Inderst Elia. The basis of the sound skeleton is made up of psychoactive drones, which are then supplemented by a wide range of differently modulated rhythmic sequences and especially the most diverse field-recordings - human voices, the noise of city streets, sounds from nature, but also the growl of car …
Les mailles
2008 release ** "The duo of Dean King and Tomas Phillips came together in 2000 with the mere intention of exploring a shared aesthetic. Their aim was the achievement of a balance between digital and non-digital sound and a functional recognition of their differences in terms of utility and signification. Whilst computer technology remains central to their work, they make an effort to locate composition within a space of physicality. Hence the use of acoustic instrumentation and field recordings …

Ligeti-Labyrinth (Book)
Documents for the works of György Ligeti's, 1941–2001
II
Cluster was the pioneering German duo of Hans-Joachim Roedelius and Dieter Moebius. Formed on the cusp of the 1970s, they were a part of West Germany's nascent Kosmische Musik scene. The group would use restrained improvisational techniques similar to Gruppo Nuova Consonanza, working with both electric and acoustic instruments (organ, guitar, tone generators, cello, etc.) to create a singular sound that Julian Cope called "a huge beating heart, planet-sized and awesome." Originally released in …

Porno Jazz
2009 release ** "The Foot Job Band is a tough one to pin down, hard to label, and not easily put in box. You can’t tie up with a pretty red bow to be given as a present, even though producer/director Esmerelda Ronchi would love to receive such a risque gift! The ensemble, a true sextet in all senses of the word, take the listener through 14 tracks of lusty improvisation, deep composition and sensual spoken word. Some of the highlights: The drama kicks off on the the fiery 70’s tinged “Arpeggi” w…

Housed in gatefold sleeve* Reissue of Brian Eno’s 1992 album dedicated to Russian artist and friend Sergei Shutov, and a continuation of the atmospheric ambient work found on records such as On Land and Thursday Afternoon. Eno had discovered that Shutov often painted to his music but was unable to obtain many of his records in then-communist Russia. He resolved to collate a tape of previously unreleased …
1973: Live in Zonderschot
Incredible vinyl release of a previously unreleased live recording of a Belgian concert by the Freddie Hubbard Quintet in 1973. It was recorded by Belgian radio & television broadcasting service (BRT) and is now remastered. It is a sweet electric set recorded right in the middle of his classic years for CTI – and with a sound that's maybe even more sublime than his work for that legendary label! The group here is a hip quintet – with Junior Cook on tenor, and George Cables on some especially gr…
