Minnet
*Purple Vinyl* Edition of 100. This debut-LP is structured like a long-form piece split up into smaller parts, constructed with manipulated field recordings, synthesis experimentations, layered harmonies and textured sound design. One gets the sense the material journeys through a narrative in disarray, depicted through numerous undisclosed, ambiguous perspectives — there are parts that are melodic, radiant and vaguely warm, like suddenly having tuned in to an imprint of some long-forgotten pers…
Space Denial
Wasteland Jazz Unit is Jon Lorenz and John Rich on saxophone and clarinet. The first full length of this apocalyptic Cincinnati duo is simply akin to the sonic equivalent of pouring molten silver (at 700°C) inside an ear. Space Denial is a powerful destruction trip pushing all the limits of reed electronic manipulations to areas and heights only explored by the mighty Borbetomagus.
Screaming Zenith
Cacophony plus catastrophe divided by calliope minus colostomy=crepe-noizette! Sound sound off like a delicious blend of fresh When and finely ground Aphex Twin mixed with just a dash of Pascal Comelade drool.13 tracks of dark dementia sewn together as a quilt of mini symphonic diversions, embroidered with bits and bytes and twisted sub rhythms and the occasional driving breakbeat. Whimsical and dada-esque with solid musical foundations, this record can also stand as rightful heir to the likes o…
Zwei Eineperson (Pt. 2) / Mujeres De La Boca
Meeting of melted minds on this split LP featuring Sheffield based long time local buddies Hunter Gracchus and Germany based performance and musical duo of Kommissar Hjuler Und Frau (aka Mama Baer). The Hunter Gracchus have released an ever growing catalogue of super well received releases for the likes of Chironex, Golden Lab, Recollections of Knulp and Chocolate Monk. They also collaborated with Part Wild Horses Mane On Both Sides and Chora as Le Drapeau Noir, as well as performing solo and in…
Walks
Opt for the path less trodden — allow yourself to stray from it, even — and you might find, buried in the bracken, deep in the trees, a shining modernist monolith. Liquid as a mirror, glinting in the leaf-broken sun, it lies in wait off the beaten tracks of North Yorkshire, South Wales, or the A508 out of Milton Keynes. Or perhaps it is all of these places simultaneously and none of them: an amalgam of the wayside walks of the British Isles, accessed only by the maps of the mind. Heeding the cal…
Dorwytch
British experimental musician Alexander Tucker releases his Thrill Jockey debut Dorwytch in April 2011. This record breaks new ground for Tucker by combining minimalist string arrangements with electronic manipulations and drones to produce doom chamber-pop songs and psychedelic music-concrete collages. Tucker’s sound has developed over the years since his first self-titled solo album, which featured acoustic finger-picking, experimental electronics and was released on Jackie O Motherfucker’s U-…
Indications Of Nigredo
Sick 12" vinyl by IRM. What starts out as a subtly haunting maniac turns into a heavy-breathing, unpredictably violent maniac, all while exploring wonderfully original instrumental facets to underscore the voice/electronics. On the theme of alchemy and the topics of shame vs. bodily self infliction, IRM makes way for a new start after the inspired “Virgin Mind” double-disc set from 2005. These are new recordings with the new member Mikael Oretoft joining on bass. Two long tracks - the first bein…
Euphoric Attempts
«While focusing on the current conditions we find ourselves in and bracing for what seems like the collapse of humanity, I made this collection of music in an attempt to ignite the essential remnants of my inner euphoria, and perhaps yours too» - Feldermelder
Studio & Live Recordings 1979-1983 (5CD Box)
Top! This is a collection of the treasured recordings of Annon, a band formed in Osaka in 1979 by Toshiji Mikawa (Hijokaidan, Incapacitants, etc.) and Naoto Hayashi (Auschwitz). Toshiji Mikawa is simply described as a pioneer, inventor, and visionary. One of the major movers of Japanese noise, he began his musical activities in the late 1970s and joined the iconic and infamous Hijokaidan in 1981. This 5-CD + 1 Bonus CD set includes valuable tracks from the early days of noise in Japan (CDs 1-3),…
Lilac Angels
Lilac Angels was a German krautrock band active in the seventies. Made up of friends of NEU! and La Dusseldorf frontman Klaus Dinger, who also co-produced and their debut album, released on his record label 'Dingerland'. However, it was a relative commercial failure and Dinger had pressed three times as many copies as he meant to. Dinger became bankrupt and as a result founded La Dusseldorf in a last gasp attempt at succes. La D. got #3 on the German music charts for their debut single and Lilac…

Trip Flip Out Meditation
First ever CD reissue of one of the most extreme Krautrock-era albums ever made. Originally released by Philips Germany in 1970, the triple LP edition came in an elaborate 'mirror' sleeve and has been near-impossible to find for 35+ years; there have been a handful of suggested reissues over the years, but finally Captain Trip has brought it to fruition, in collaboration with founding member Suzanne Doucet. Incredible fold out packaging emulates the original, with front embossing and silver-foil…
Xylowave 2010 / Amplifaction II
The Haters are a noise and conceptual art troupe from the US, headed by GX Jupitter-Larsen. Founded in 1979, they are one of the earliest and best-known acts in the modern noise scene. Hal Hutchinson (Pollutive Static) has previously released several of his scrap metal sound recordings on labels such as Freak Animal Records, Unrest Productions, and in the last couple of years, he has moved to incorporate analogue synthesizers, field recordings and other elements into his work. Here, Hal presents…
Clinamen
Limited edition of 111 physical copies with handmade 12" cover, 16-page 8" booklet, "fake" 12" vinyl and download code. The concept of ‘clinamen’ comes from Lucretius’s ‘On the nature of the universe’, and describes the swerve of the atoms from their original straight course. Such deviation generates collisions, and allows changes in the relationship between elements. Using the metaphor of clinamen, the album recalls the idea of invention as the result of a diversion from consolidated methodolog…
Il Bisbetico Domato
The dear departed Detto Mariano wrote a very enjoyable comment, based on a love theme, that he retakes with pleasant instrumental variations alternated to funny tracks. The opening credits are introduced by the dance song “Step on dynamite” by “Clown”, which we will find later in two alternatives instrumental takes, and “La pigiatura”, performed by the choir with Patrizia Tapparelli, Mariano Perrella and Simona Aloisi. This latter track is the theme of the main movie scene, in which Elia dances …
La Strega In Amore
An ancient Roman house holds a terrible secret. Dust, old books and a morbid and veiled eroticism. Before devoting his career to the so-called cinema civile (political cinema), Damiano Damiani directed his most obscure and mysterious film, a jewel of the contemporary Italian Gothic style. Based on the short novel 'Aura' by Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes, the film is enhanced by the interpretations of the very sensual Rosanna Schiaffino and a young Gian Maria Volonté during the years of his debut …
The Vilnius Explosion
This new label start with a record 'The Vilnius Explosion' by great Swedish multi-instrumentalist Mats Gustafsson (baritone and slide saxophones, alto fluteophone), who gave a memorable performance on 9th February 2008 together with the leading contemporary Lithuanian jazz musicians - Liudas Mockunas (soprano, tenor and baritone sax), Eugenijus Kanevicius (bass), Marijus Aleksa (drums) and Arkadijus Gotesmanas (drums).
Osmose
Reissue of the 1970 krautrock classic. The timing was right: Five years earlier would have been too early, five years later would have been too late. But Annexus Quam from Kamp-Lintfort near Düsseldorf came along with the right music at the right moment. The seven-piece band formed in 1967 as Ambition Of Music; they were what was then called a "beat group." In 1970, working with a local trombone choir led to a dramatic change of direction. Trombone, clarinet, saxophone, scat-like vocals, various…
