Musica Para El Fin De Los Cantos
In recent years, the vinyl reissue has emerged as major aggregator of change - the means to discover and appraise the lost histories of remarkable musics from across the globe. Among the most striking and neglected of these, are the sounds which rose from the Spanish underground during the 1980’s and 90’s. Long coveted by collectors - this movement, washed in strange structures and ambiences - mistakenly tied to broader gestures of New Age, is only beginning to receive the attention that it has…

They were an improvisation group using tapes, synthesisers, guitar and hand percussion much of which was then treated through the synthesisers, producing their soft, insistent and rhythmic sound. “Dog Photos” was originally releasedin 1981 by band´s own label Adhesive records.
The sounds in these 11 pieces are a combination of direct to tape & cassette to tape recordings, a perfect mix of electronic tape …
Eurekaphilia
150 copies After three sold-out and sought-after cassette-only releases, Hospital Productions presents Eurekaphilia, the first full-length LP from Laureate, one of the most unique producers in contemporary underground electronics. Accelerating the cavernous industrial rhyme of the first cassette and melding the long-form ambience of later releases, Eurekaphilia shreds all past research and revisits itself under peer-review publishing a new "violent science." The listener is forced through time-…

Limited Clear Vinyl edition, 500 copies! Lateef at Cranbrook (also reissued as Yusef Lateef) is a live album by multi-instrumentalist Yusef Lateef recorded in 1958 at the Cranbrook Academy of Art and originally released on the Argo label.

During the course of his covetable career he worked side-by-side with Dizzy G…

Remastered here from its original release (previously digital only) Gainer is now available for the first time on vinyl in plush packaging including UV spot gloss ‘invisible ink’ style jacket printing. Comprised of two side-long pieces, Gainer is less a meeting point of harp + drone guitars and much more a singular creative group vision mad…

Confusion
* 2022 Small Repress * Over a decade a half after his death, vindication has come to Fela Kuti, Africa’s musical genius. AfroBeat, his gift to the world, is now an international staple on his own uncompromising terms, social content intact. Throughout his life, Fela contended that AfroBeat was a modern form of danceable, African classical music with an urgent message for the planet’s denizens. Created out of a cross-breeding of Funk, Jazz, Salsa and Calypso with Juju, Highlife and African percus…

Teenage Tapes
Minimal Wave is proud to present Teenage Tapes, an LP of selections from the early tape archives of Felix Kubin. The recordings span his adolescent years, when he was between 11 and 15 years old. He actually began playing music at 8 years old, when he studied piano, organ, and glockenspiel. In 1980, he acquired a Korg MS-20 synthesizer and his recordings took off from there. He began experimenting and recording a variety of tracks, adding his own bizarre lyrics to them.
In 1982, he formed a band…
Koté Ou?
Given the recent spike in interest in obscure albums, it's perhaps unsurprising that Granit has chosen to license and reissue this largely unknown gem from Haiti-based duo Mushi and Lakansye, recorded in 1983... As the cover suggest this LP can be described as a meditative ramble along a tropical seafront. Dreamy and synthesizer-heavy, it offers a slick and soft-focus journey through gentle fusion jazz, wide-eyed downtempo pop, new age ambient and humid but evocative soundscapes

The Man-Machine
**180g translucent red vinyl, Includes full-size 12-page booklet and picture inner sleeve.** "The Man-Machine is closer to the sound and style that would define early new wave electro-pop - less minimalistic in its arrangements and more complex and danceable in its underlying rhythms. Like its predecessor, Trans-Europe Express, there is the feel of a divided concept album, with some songs devoted to science fiction-esque links between humans and technology, often with electronically processed vo…
Autobahn
**180g translucent blue vinyl, Includes full-size 12-page booklet and picture inner sleeve.** The fourth studio album by the German electronic band. It was the band's first album to fully embrace the repetitive electronic sound they would become known for, although organic instruments still remained part of their sonic palette, and was inspired by the titular German highway system."Though they'd recorded three previous albums, Kraftwerk's modern pop legacy starts with the sounds of a few footste…

The duo produced several hours of music during intense interactive sessions that were later selected and edited by Pharmakustik.

Live In Graz
**2020 stock** "Recorded live at The Orpheum Theatre in Graz, Austria. 25.02.15. It is perhaps apt that the first live performances of Martin Zeichnete's music were by Yann Tiersen and his band. It was at the Breton musician's 2013 concert in Berlin that Unknown Capability Recordings' Drew McFadyen first met Zeichnete and the road to his musical re/discovery began. UCR’s first release from the Kosmischer Läufer archive that year led to calls for Zeichnete to emerge from the shadows and play live…
Winter
Kleistwahr is the solo project of Gary Mundy, the legendary power electronic and noise-rock musician who is a founding member of Ramleh and runs the highly influential Broken Flag label. Solemn drones and elegiac long-form passages gird Kleistwahr’s Winter, which often chimes, glistens, and glows through a unhurried constructs for organ, synth, guitar, and electronics. Yet Mundy pivots throughout with triumphant explosions of shrill noise, redlined overload, and harrowingly anguished vocals from…
Arctica
Pionneering production from the Düsseldorf mid 80s electronic underground world. Transferred for the first ever time from the original cassette to vinyl and CD. Konrad Kraft (Detlef Funder) is one of the still overlooked producers of Düsseldorfs fertile electronic music scene. Arctica was originally released on Cassette on Funder's imprint SDV Tonträger in 1987 in a handmade edition of about 50 copies only. Reduced to its essential musical elements, Arctica certainly contains some of the most un…
