Blunder
The immaculate mess of Blunder originates from a three-piece impro group consisting of Mads Forby (drums), Kristian Poulsen (guitar) and Lars Greve (saxophones and clarinets). Their debut album Blunder presents a music that's hazy and patient, struck by a disarming sense of attentiveness. It's a slow dance around a malformed energetic forcefield, it's the pull of the vortex, sucking the listener into an elastic sound world of repetitive rhythmic structures and shamanistic summoning.
Journey Into Nigritia
Legitimately available again on vinyl for the first time since its original release in 1983, Outernational Sounds proudly presents a major statement from a crucial figure on the Los Angeles jazz underground – pianist Nate Morgan’s spiritualised deep jazz classic, Journey Into Nigritia. How many 16 year olds would have the confidence to walk up to a revered bandleader at a gig, and inform him that one day they’d be playing together? As improbable as it sounds, this is how pianist Nate Morgan intr…
Flight 17 - The Call - Live At Iucc
Bundle special offer: Flight 17 (2LP) Live at Iucc (3LP) and Thw cal (LP) by the legendary Pan-Afrikan Peoples Arkestra, led by their founder and mastermind, Horace Tapscott. Jazz, with its many iterations and forms, has always been a music on the move - its own changes and evolutions mirroring a flux in the perception of what is and was. This is all too evident when addressing its avant-garde realisations, particularly those rising across the 1960s and 70s - free and spiritual - musics which we…

Smell Of Metal
Berceuse Heroique' Kemaa sublabel swiftly follow that excellent side of Greek fire-walking music with this deluxe reissue of percussive tributes to Mark Rothko by This Heat's Charles Hayward, backed with JD Twitch and Maxmillion Dunbar remixes.
'Smell of Metal' gives a first vinyl issue of the title track and 'Lopside' from Hayward's 1990 CD for Sub Rosa, unleashing two tense, minimalist pieces of rolling drums and etheric drones that sound like the missing link between 1980s post punk and '90s …

Ouverture Fantastique is an unreal aural journey. A 5 acts ritual progressively bringing the listener away from the weight of ratio…
Xperiametaphone
”Reptilian underground crawlers from the sewers of dance music takin' over the surface of bored late 20es; educated by the flow of free time spent killin' joints and special moves learnt spinnin' bandcamp pay-your-price album libraries. A hitting low-frequencies body-muzak cocktail filled with squeaks, wacky samples and a pinch of irony.” - ArtetetraRecorded in Calocero Dungeon. Mastered in Plaza Lab Studio.
Giano
**250 copies** "Lavorazioni Carni Rosse is a state of being rather than a way of playing. Subjected, like all of us, to subliminal and coerced external momentum. Warped, amplified, Improvised music. Giano includes two long suites. Side A starts with a very subtle electronic alienating sound that is enriched by treated vocals, double bass, noises and trumpet creating a suspended atmosphere that evolves slowly to an organized chaos that is quite unique. Side B starts with a double bass played with…
PRES Revisited. Józef Patkowski in memoriam
The album's core is the recording of the concert dedicated to Polish Radio Experimental Studio in London's Cafe Oto (CD2). Electronic pieces from the Studio were turned into instrumental structured improvisations performed by legends of improvised music, members of AMM John Tilbury and Eddie Prévost, coming back to playing violin, Phil Durrant and two Polish musicians of the younger generation - guitarist Maciej Sledziecki based in Cologne and Warsaw cellist, Mikolaj Palosz. In their solo…

Wild but wonderful." -- Paul Stump in The Wire.

Y
Remastered 40th Anniversary version of Y - the highly influential and innovative debut album by The Pop Group, released in 1979. In the same year The Pop Group released their single She is Beyond Good and Evil / 3:38. The album was produced by reggae veteran Dennis Bovell to critical acclaim but low sales figures. Emerging in the late-'70s post-punk era, this militant gang of leftist radical politicos from Bristol specialised in a funk-driven cacophony of sound that was abrasive, strident, and u…

Metal Machine Music
25th Anniversary reissue in clear jewel-case with 12-page booklet. Few records have alienated audiences like Lou Reed’s 1975 double album Metal Machine Music. Each side bore a single track lasting exactly 16 minutes and one second. There were no drums, no singing, and no songs. Instead, waves of shrieking guitar feedback created a brutal sonic assault which, thanks to the locked groove at the end of side four, was literally never–ending. Deleted by RCA after two weeks on sale, the album attract…

Just Before Dawn
What we are here presenting is one of the most intimate releases Ants has produced ever. Luca Miti is a “strange” kind of composer and musician. And organizer, too. He has the uncommon attitude to make private experiences and let them become “public” in a very natural way. Primarily known for his compositions (most of them unconventional and ”experimental” in the best sense) and impro-live-written collaborations, he’s also a “perfomer” with many different sides. One of these aspetcs is shown in…
Affirm, Deny, Reconcile
Pulsating reconstructions of fragmented piano compositions, melded with gritty peripheral field recordings. Transcending from flashbacks, lingering between natural and industrial landscapes. Broken left-field electronica by Maxim Wolzyn for the third Marionette issue.
"...Wolyzn’s work exhibits a decentered and unplaceable aesthetic that sounds very much at home with the cosmopolitanism that Marionette has established." - Inverted Audio
"Imagine Nils Frahm going head-to-head with Plaid and Echos…
Electronics
This is the first in a series of three releases on the Zeitkratzer label with each volume titled Electronics, which will be issued as a 3CD boxset as well, in 2009. This CD documents the cooperation between Zeitkratzer and Carsten Nicolai (aka Alva Noto), started nearly a decade ago; a cooperation between an avant garde ensemble and a non-academic electronic musician. The electronic music of Carsten Nicolai -- sometimes being of even crystal clearness and quality -- suddenly becomes sensual and …
