On Oblivion Seekers, Ben Vida turns everyday speech into a glowing maze: neutral‑toned duets, drifting chamber textures and collaged overheard phrases dissolve meaning and sound into one long, entrancing mantra of language in motion.
**Edition of 350 copies, 16 page book. Previously unreleased! ** Less than a decade ago, the legacy of the Danish multi-disciplinary artist and composer, Henning Christiansen (1932 - 2008), had fallen into obscurity and remained almost entirely out of view. Outside of a small but dedicated following of sound-art fans and scholars, he ranked among the most obscure figures in experimantal music. Thankfully, over the years since, due to the devotion of a small number of labels, his work, in the for…
A Colourful Storm's Fleetway Tapes series follows classic entries from Time Is Away, Vladimir Ivkovic, Felix K, Young Sparks and others with a heart-stopping selection put together by Berlin-based film journo Florence Scott-Anderton, a fathoms-deep, laser-focused mix that doesn't come around often, engulfing high-art/low-culture TV samples with a series of cues excavated from film - think of it as a sort of Blockbuster Video nostalgia-tinted answer to Time Is Away's flawless thematic mixes.
Martin Pyne’s new release, the double album Trios, focuses on his unique approach to the vibraphone. The album places his playing in the context of two contrasting trio lineups. In Vampire Coast Trio Martin is joined by one of his favourite drummers, Johnny Hunter, along with the extraordinary double bass player Michael Bardon. Together they make music with a truly transparent texture, full of both space and sonic detail together with richly lyrical melody and counterpoint. Martin says, “Michael…
Across western Algeria, the gasba, a reed flute central to Bedouin folk traditions and ceremonial music, continues to appear in new forms. Once associated primarily with saint festivals and trance rituals, its distinctive hypnotic sound now sits alongside the drum machines, synths and electronic textures of contemporary raï. The recordings collected here come from Oran, the port city of Western Algeria widely regarded as the birthplace of raï. Before raï became an international pop phenomenon, i…
Big tip! Sixty years after the groundbreaking premiere of In C forever changed the course of contemporary music, Terry Riley celebrates the work's enduring legacy with a historic live recording captured at Kyoto's Unesco World Heritage site, Kiyomizu-dera Temple.
One of the most influential composers of our time, Terry Riley has continually redefined the possibilities of music through a career marked by innovation and originality. Described by Riley himself as his signature composition, In C (19…
*35 copies limited edition* Written during a time of fracture and crisis, this album is about looking for a wonder in the cracks. It’s about embracing the flawed and the frail, positing that if re-enchantment is possible, it will sprout from the small things. Built from gentle field recordings and analogue synthesizers, it offers music as a talisman; a warm, homespun garment for uncertain days.
** Black Edition of 200. 20th Anniversary Edition. For the first time re-released on 2xLP ** This was the first full-length album released by OEC by the Italian prophet of Murderous & Pain Electronics in 2000 as a CD. For the 20th anniversary of that album we are proud to go for the re-release into vinyl format of such a masterpiece. A slow death with great sorrow... Psychopathic ready to kill voice, self-abusing electronic sounds mixed to dangerous feed-backs & noises. An isolationist and disg…
On Hidden Hour, marine eyes preserves eighteen moments of dawn, dusk and chosen solitude in a full hour of luminous ambient drift. Cynthia Bernard’s guitars, lap steel, soft synths and field recordings turn nearby forests, coastlines and mountains into slow-moving emotional maps - music for stepping outside routine and hearing time soften.
A dream come true for A Colourful Storm to be releasing an early gem by Tenniscoats, a duo whose DIY spirit, boundless creativity and lust for life and collaboration has left an indelible mark.

"In the dream, people didn't need water any more. People's minds became computer chips made of stone." (August in the Water, dir. Sōgo Ishii, 1995) There is a pivotal scene in “August in the Water” where the surface of a pool turns into a stone wall. The water that gave the protagonist's life its meaning becomes a threat. As you fall through this stone wall, you appear in a set of underwater coral-reef corridors, and one of the most beautiful musical themes begins to play: Aquatic Ambience, comp…

*200 copies limited release* Tip! The early collaboration between Maso Yamazaki (aka Masonna) and Rudolf Eb.er (aka Runzelstirn & Gurgelstøck) was based on the exchange of tape recordings and ideas by mail; they were guided more by a shared sensibility regarding extreme music and art than by a similar musical style. The first result of this cooperation was released in 1995 on Eb.er’s own Swiss label, Schimpfluch, as a cassette titled “Clitoris Projectile Pump Action”. In 1998, they performed as …
CD reissue of Volcano The Bear's 2006 LP, the first release on their own Volucan label: theatrical improvisation, musique concrète and ethno-folk. Four-panel gatefold sleeve, limited to 444 copies.
*300 copies limited edition* For the Raven was due to be the next release after Ligeliahorn on the Nekrophile Rekords label. Sadly the project fell through and, even more sadly, it coincided with a number of the celebrants being rounded up to enjoy a short holiday at Her Majesty's Pleasure, expense and, indeed, insistence. By the time our intrepid Disciples Of Doom re emerged the momentum had been lost and For the Raven was consigned to the Metgumbnervaults to, until recently, only make an occas…
