Tewedije Limut
*2023 stock. 100 copies limited edition* Mesfin’s recording career, captured in nearly two dozen 7” singles and numerous reel-to-reel tapes, shows the strata of the most fertile decade in Ethiopia’s 20th century recording industry, when records were pressed constantly by both independent upstarts and corporate behemoths, even if they were only distributed within the confines of this East African nation. Though Mesfin was forced underground by the Derg regime that took control of Ethiopia in 1974…
Aqua Necromancer
Tip! "Expect the unexpected. Masami Akita, corrupt mastermind behind the bound and gagged and tossed into the jet engine noise of Merzbow has, over the last years, really begun to stretch the limits of what he sonically does. Seems, with releases (Tauromachine, Hybrid Noisebloom, 1930...), there has been more variety within the choppy slabs of noise that he designs. What we have here is, quite possibly, the most varied Merzbow release to date. Why? Because, amidst the stalk and squeal noise,…

balance between theatrical and ambient sentiments. A Turn of
Breath combines the essence of a choral LP from Angel Records or
Deutsche Grammophon with the spontaneity of experimental
home-recording. This collection hold…

This collection is available on CD and cassette with liner notes from Gregory Kramer and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, who first brought this fascinating work to the attention of Important Records. “Greg is one of the pioneers of electronic music and these pieces are unique opportunities to discover how intricate and dynamic early synthesizers are.” …
Uzi
Somehow out of the blue they have returned with a killer new single called 'Uzi'. Built around the constant Blurt groove, a thrilling and catchy incessant guitar line and Milton's jazz sax that oozes Uzi elixir and his free form beat poetry it's a stunning and brilliant single. Still fronted by the charismatic Ted Milton the band are on fire and suddenly in the right place at the right time. The deserved fuss about the likes of the brilliant Colin Stetson and Shabaka Hutchins taking the sax into…
Music For Dungeons
Sharpen your sword and light the torches, Gnoll is back! The dungeon music masters hidden behind the monicker of Gnoll have created a bleak, sepulchral, eerie album... the soundtrack of a true underground exploration. Designed as a soundtrack of the solitary role-playing game titled "Dungeons" edited by Dungeoneer Games & Simulations, the second chapter of Gnoll is ideal for those who love dark vibrations and sense of wonder. With its analogic synthtizers and its thundering percussions will tran…
Incanto
*300 copies limited edition* Another collection of music that, instead of offering an escape route, loads you with questions. Music that originates in a grey, intermediate zone: pieces conceived and performed by an informal group of musicians which were not written. They are improvised but, instead of existing only in their own time, they are rooted in deep interpersonal relationships. A perfect balance between freedom and rigour, between visions and penumbra, between long and complex relationsh…
Spurious Correlations
Limited edition of 200 copies.* "In statistics, a ‘spurious correlation’ is a mathematical relationship in which two or more events or variables are associated but not causally related, due to either coincidence or the presence of a certain third, unseen, factor. Spurious correlations look like causal relationships in both their statistical measures and in graphs, but they're not real."
L'Alchimista
Limited edition of 200 copies.* "L'Alchimista" consists of the recordings taken during a live performance made especially on occasion of the vernissage for the exhibition of the same name curated by Alessandra Guttagliere at Cave Contemporary in Grottaglie.
In the wake of his latest published works, Fabio Orsi composed and played a series of pieces that enhance the more cinematic aspect of his music. The sounds on this work have an ever-increasingly timeless quality, with no more boundaries for …
TO/OT
*200 copies limited edition* With the present "TO/OT", the duo comprising Orsi and TeZ (Clock Dva) continue in a straight line along the 'furrow' already traced with the previous "OT/TO", inverting the 'position' of the roles in the control room compared to it. Electronic patterns and programmed rhythmic parts make up these load-bearing plots that describe a synthetic universe adjacent to the one traversed by the first cosmic couriers, where filters emphasise the progressions, and soft and evoca…
First Flight
*Limited Edition* This Japanese trio session from the 70s is precisely the kind of record that has us exploring this era so fervently. Filled with warm, soulful sounds, inventive changes, and engaging rhythms, the album maintains a subtle funk undercurrent without overpowering the best lyrical lines of pianist Kichiro Sugino. The trio, featuring Kishio Kitahara on bass and Mitsaki Katayama on drums, is perfectly synchronized, soaring elegantly throughout the record, living up to the "flight" in …
The contest of pleasures - Tempestuous
Having used extensive editing and some remixing for the second of their two excellent Potlatch CDs, Albi Days, Contest of Pleasures – the trio of John Butcher (tenor and soprano saxophones), Xavier Charles (clarinet) and Axel Dorner (trumpet) – returns to its initial acoustic position with Tempestuous, which launches the new British label, Another Timbre. Recorded late on a stormy November night in an old church during the 2006 Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival,Tempestuous moves between t…
Nella Basilica
Roberto Fabbriciani, bass flutes. Robin Hayward, microtonal tuba. 'This is the first CD of improvised music featuring Roberto Fabbriciani, one of the giants of contemporary music. Fabbriciani was the instrumentalist with whom Luigi Nono worked most closely in the last two decades of his life, playing in the premieres of virtually all of the composer's late works. On nella basilica Fabbriciani improvises with Robin Hayward, the phenomenal Berlin-based tuba player with whom he has worked on …
Thread
'We all met in Berlin at different times. Anthea and I had been playing as a duo since about 2006. Anthea also developed a performance/installation project with Annette I think around 2008. About a year later, I organised a house concert and we decided to play as a trio, which seemed very organic and easy immediately. We recorded parts of the album shortly after that. [] There was not much editing involved in either of the recordings, just minor changes. As for the general style - we act…
How Lonely Sits The City?
Great new piece from the Swedish composer, working as fruitfully as ever with his ensemble Skogen. Mysterious, dream-like and melancholic. Another gem.
