Psychorazer
*In process of stocking. 200 copies limited edition* "An odd release that doesn't seem to follow any sort of a recognizable theme or singular approach to noise, just three random tracks pasted together. In the first track there's not much interesting variation within it. The second track is a cool Music for Films evoking electronic drone that's also 56 seconds long. The main course here is the third track, which is a massive beast of thick fuzz that has a very strange, "rattly" effect to it, ach…
Darkened, yet Shone
Combining free improvisation, free jazz, rock, and electronic improvisation, the trio of Eddie Prevost (drums), No Moore (guitarist), and bassist John Edwards are caught live at Iklectik in London, 2017, for a concert that changes pace from vigorous riffs to unconventional introspection, with masterful playing and profound technique, an exceptional performance.
'Round About Midnight (Live At The Totem Vol. 2)
* 2022 stock * "Archie Shepp's 1979 quartet of American and European musicians (Clifford Jarvis, drums; Seifried Kessler, piano; Bob Cunningham, bass) put more fire under him as an improviser than anybody since Coltrane. These cats came to play, and they were playing for keeps. It's all Shepp can do to lead the band. Opening with a furiously paced "Donna Lee," with Shepp's solo winding all around the intervals and changing them in mid-phrase, Jarvis double times even his legato. For 16 minutes t…
Explicit - Live At The Sunset
*2022 stock* Futura Marge presents Open Loose: Mark Helias (double bass), Tony Malaby (tenor saxophone) & Tom Rainey (drums). Recorded live on 11 April 2011 at the Sunset in Paris.

Ponytail, Ponytales
Tommaso Clerico and Luca Sigurta' mixed noise, ambient, fake hip hop and weird techno: the new frontier of melanchofreak or if you prefer a ride on deformed flying horses. Second album full of guest stars, from the legend of American noise To Live and Shave in L.A. to the giants of no(w)wave Zeek Sheck and MC Trachiotomy, plus some incredible Italian artists such as Bologna Violenta, Madame P, IOIOI and Trashsound.
Document
Corrado Altieri (CANDOR CHASMA, TH26, MONOSONIK) gives us an extraordinary synthesis of electronic noise music playing only analog and digital equipment without computer assistance. From power electronics to drone music with a master impro touch.
Moltiplicazioni
Distorted digital sound with interesting sides of matter. Borghi gets the electro-acoustic music out of quicksand showing an hot and dark way to escape. Made using custom max/msp applications, analog effects and varied sound sources. Great first work! "Andrea Borghi’s solo album is ultimately more rewarding for its (relative) sparseness, with some unspectacular but extremely effective laptop treatments adding some fizz to his thrummed fuzz bass jams. It’s still a case of listenin…
UNO
Recording between 2015 and 2016 in Venice during the 56th Biennale of International Art and in Pietrasanta at Molize Studio.Mastered by Riccardo Mazza.
Tropico
Second album after well acclaimed Xax, Tropico is the proof of Vipcancro’s ability to make trips over the edges of industrial-drone-noise exploring several aspects of contemporary music too. Maybe avant or maybe impro, amazing music of course!
Eternally now
More music by Gianluca Becuzzi (see Vital Weekly 810 for his previous release), and another one that doesn't reveal much in terms of information. Just a titles and the year it was produced. Its however some kind of concept album. The opening and closing tracks are 2:33 each, while the three tracks in the middle last 12:48. Also from the titles there are similarities: 'Culture vs Nature', 'Nature vs Culture', two parts of 'The Essential Nowhere' and 'Rings Of Time'. Probably that should give the …

Slow And Distant Corrosion
*50 copies limited edition* Lichen functions like nothing else on earth. This combination of algae, fungus, and bacteria serves as a keystone species to keep the entire ecosystem healthy and on track. Thanks to their ability to take nutrients from air, sun, and rain, and their capacity to survive with very low water contents, these species can thrive on every continent, including Antarctica. They can spread their secondary metabolites that make the rocks slowly flake off, participating in soil f…
Lullabies And Other Stories
CD edition. Solo album by Walter Prati, here back on his cello driving us through an illuminating and sublimative journey. Walter Prati’s composition for cello seems to interpret this range of facets, these transparent and elusive angles. Contemplative music, to a certain extent, but also ready to express fragments lyrically, and their rushing to compose a mosaic. For reasons I cannot explain, I catch a glimpse of several iridescent colours, between turquoise and hard blue with odd crimson strip…
Stridulum (The Visitor)
"Stridulum (aka. The Visitor) is a 1979 sci-fi horror that featured a star-studded cast including Mel Ferrer, John Huston, and Shelley Winters. The score was written by Italian composer Franco Micalizzi and while the movie wasn't a huge commercial success, the soundtrack became a favourite amongst collectors even if Micalizzi is still best known for his Poliziotteschi scores and collaborations with director Umberto Lenzi. His trademark sound was still there for all to hear and now three key cuts…
