Yantra Material Action
*199 copies limited edition* Originally named „Merz“, this album should have been Merzbow's first vinyl release, but never came out on vinyl. So actually "Yantra Material Action" is „Material Action 1“, recorded in 1981 - with sticker and insert
Emak Bakia
Limited Edition Picture Disc We have repeatedly surprised you with unusual releases that sound uncharacteristic for wellknown artists. Remember Merzbow with guitars, synth (almost said synth-pop) and drum machine? Well, Muslimgauze's turn came up. Emak Bakia – long out of print masterpieces from 1994. Even in the huge Bryn Jones' discography Emak Bakia really stands out of albums from the period due its rather unique (house-music related) sound and short, by the standards of Bryn Jones, tracks. …

Be the Climb
2009 release ** ""Nancy Garcia is among the most galvanizing and evocative provocateurs in the current underground strata of New York multi-media art. Coming from a fully realized performance background Garcia translates the experience to her compositions and delivers Be The Climb, her solo debut for Ecstatic Peace. The album is part of a new project called I need more, which is comprised of an online video, a live performance, and the album. While the project's components can function independe…
Territorium
2005 release ** Hand-numbered edition of 300 copies. "Territorium will not play the game of a hermetic work and will immediately reveal the topography of its ambitions: to draw an incomplete and fragmentary map of field recording and ambient music. By bringing together five artists and six compositions. A doubly geographical project, since while the album as a whole reveals a committed geography of the genre, each piece is the anomalous and reconstructed geography of a place, a type of terrain, …
Lars Boutrup's Music For Keyboards
2005 release ** "The man behind the album is the keyboard player and composer Lars Boutrup. After years in the business with rock, silent movie music and classical music. Performance as well as composing, in all sorts of different constellelations. Lars Boutrup is now releasing his first solo album. Music for Keyboards is an album with both beautiful numbers to reflect on and sense the universe to.

Chronopée (2)
2006 release ** "Composing in three phases: First step: the recording of concrete sounds is relentless and the pleasure of caption is incredible and constantly renewed. The stronger the enthusiasm of the initial recording is, more interesting the sounds are once treated. The stronger the echo of that instant is, upon listening, the more musical the variations are. Second step: Transforming this raw sound matter through audio-digital processing and noting the time during which it becomes somethin…
Comrades In Lost...
2004 release ** 'Comrades in Lost' is the multimedia / audio CD, which is created with an aim to introduce people to latvian industrial music. Sound material presents each musician’s search in the field of industrial music, what comes from a personal belief and experience. Soundscape shows influences of martial industrial, power electronics and IDM, but can’t be placed in a frame of a particular style. The sound remains individual and satiated, with a touch of experiment, but not experimental. T…
Le Temps Qui Passe
1989 release ** "Métarythmes de l’Air, a ten year-old band, consists of the prolific composer Christian Leroy, he is also an occasional keyboard and percussion player, contrebassist José Bedeur, a graduate from Huy Music Schaol, and Philippe Saucez, who has made a name for himself in classical clarinet playing.

Millefleurs
2009 release ** "Millefleurs is a vocal ensemble led by Christoph Schiller. More precisely: an experimental choir. Imagine a dozen vocalists in the vein of Phil Minton and Joane Hétu joining forces. It’s a nice surprise. Twelve pieces, each featuring a different line-up of singers (between one and ten). Abstract, textural, guttural pieces without words. It gets long (70 minutes), and with two or three selected tracks edited out the album would have been tighter and better sustained the listener’…
Extensions
McCoy Tyner looked towards Africa on his stunning 1970 album Extensions, a far-reaching exploration of Black identity that marked the masterful pianist’s fifth recording for Blue Note Records. After leaving John Coltrane’s band Tyner had moved from Impulse to Blue Note and made his enduring post-bop classic The Real McCoy in 1967. In the following years Tyner steadily expanded his musical scope: writing for a 9-piece ensemble on Tender Moments, exploring the textures of a piano-vibes led quartet…

Valentina Goncharova's work encapsulates a unique blend of innovation and tradition, providing audiences with an enthralling exploration of the vast possibilities within musical expression. Drawing upon her compositional skills honed during her academic studies, Valentina expertly manipulates the violin, seamlessly integrating it with synthesizers and drum machines. The result is a mesmerizing fusion of organic and electronic elements, characterized by slow, pulsating drone soundscapes.

An intoxicatingly beautiful, groundbreaking work of compositional conceptualism - combining the ideas of systems based synthesis with real-time vocal collaboration - the album represents a striking step forward for one of the most ambitious and outstanding sonic artists working in the United States today. Mastered by Stephan Mathieu.
Xenofonia
2003 release ** "Xenofonia combines choir, harpsichord, percussion, glitch and environmental recordings. Migrating bird-calls and human voices play a central role heard a cappella or accompanied. Singing often ventures beyond the limits of language. The formidable choral force of ex-miners Snowdown Colliery Male Voice Choir, the intimate voice of Matthias Grübel from German duo Phonºnoir, British vocal trio Juice Vocal Ensemble, and background vocals by Elaine Mitchener and Jade Pybus are heard …
Roma, Wien.
2001 release ** "Mushroom’s Patience is possibly one of those what you call best kept secrets within the music world… well known by connoisseurs and totally unknown to most… The core member, and mastermind, of the band is Raffaele Cerroni and the band is already active since the early 1980’s. In the early 2000’s they gained some fame in the industrial scene due to the signing to Hau Ruck!. This despite their music being a weird psychedelic blend of jazz, electronic music and any sound the musici…
Oh! You Are So Naive!
2006 release ** "Oh! You are so naive! is the fourth album released by Mirt outside of the parent Brasil & the Gallowbrothers Band, and previously One Inch of Shadow. The album is a continuation of the path begun on the last mini-album – “Most”. This time, however, the whole is not based on a specific place, but on the fascination with twentieth-century revolutions and socialist utopia. Six songs about a revolt that never took place, about the hopeless immobility of today's rebels camouflaged so…
