Fliegen Lernen
Faust's vaults, opened by the band itself. Co-founder Gunther Wusthoff curates unheard tapes and fragments, motorik grooves, collage and pure invention from krautrock's great disruptors.
Memorial
»Memorial« grew out of Nate Wooley’s work alongside Annea Lockwood recording the Columbia River, and in particular from a visit to Kettle Falls in northern Washington, once one of the river’s great salmon fishing and meeting grounds and a place of enormous importance to the Sinixt and other Indigenous peoples of the Upper Columbia. The falls disappeared from view following the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam in 1940, submerged beneath what is now Lake Roosevelt, yet beneath the still surfac…
Öd
After nearly a decade away, Black Forest collective Institut für Feinmotorik return on Faitiche with Öd: eight prepared turntables, no records, coaxing music from rubber bands, foil and junk. Dubby loops and howling static drift into a scrap-metal Dixieland haze, with word-molecule track titles by poet Dagmara Kraus.
Several Years Later
People Skills - the long running project of Philadelphia's Jesse Dewlow - has spent close to two decades tuned to that lower, stranger frequency, and Several Years Later may be the fullest transmission he has yet let out of the room. Since the mid 2000s, Dewlow has worked at the seam where a song comes apart into weather. Repetitive guitar figures, idle tape phenomena, sound residue, voices sunk far beneath the surface - materials gathered under the sign of his Heresy Museum and set loose in sha…
Synthesized Voices
DINTE reissues Charles Dodge’s 1976 LP collection of synthesised speech music, 1972-1975. Using mainframe computers at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Dodge analysed and dismantled audio recordings of surrealist poetry by Mark Strand, mathematically and meticulously reconstructing them in synthetic form, resulting in these uncanny, landmark pieces that spearheaded early computer speech synthesis as a form for musical composition.

Memory Lane
Soul Media, led by Jiro Inagaki, played a part in the development of jazz rock in Japan. This work, "Memory Lane" recorded in 1980, was the final work under the same name. Inagaki said about this work, "We tried to create this work while predicting the fate of fusion music" and it is true that the sound is completely different from ordinary fusion. The mellow and emotional "Memory Lane" the stormy and refreshing "I Will Give You Samba" and the groovy and edgy "Take My Hand". The sound that was c…
Steve Gunn
On Steve Gunn, Steve Gunn’s 2007 debut captures a formative solo voice in raw, spacious focus. Recorded on four‑track in a Brooklyn apartment, its instrumental pieces drift between American primitive guitar, meditative drone and free improvisation - unvarnished home recordings whose patience, tonal richness and exploratory nerve already point toward a singular guitar language.
Drukqs
Twenty-five years on, Warp returns Aphex Twin's Drukqs to physical formats. Thirty tracks across a hundred minutes: prepared piano miniatures, drill'n'bass with the brakes cut, musique concrète, a voicemail from his parents. The last gap in the vinyl discography, closed.
A La Altura: Visionary Mexican Music 1977-1999 - Volumes 1 & 2
Visionaries in Mexico have sought ways to look beyond the stars for millennia. Ancient civilizations like the Maya and Aztecs designed their cities as gigantic star maps, orienting their buildings to mark equinoxes, solstices, and zenith passages. This inquisitive form of meaning-making through art has long been endangered—first by Spanish colonizers; then by the Mexican government’s throttling of artistic expression in the late 20th century; and now by the violent anti-Mexican sentiments of the…

Communique

You Never Were Much Of A Dancer
When I was about eight years old a pretty formative thing happened to me ... my mum bought me a cassette tape of Nirvana’s Nevermind. Being so young I'd had no real interest in music prior to that, but I did have a ‘My First Sony’ cassette player that I used to listen to audiobooks. Anyway, I put the tape in, pressed play, and what I heard blew my little 8 year old mind. I don't know what it was about that wall of sound that so captured me, but I spent many hours hyperactively running around the…
Iuvt
Lmited to 150 units Annie Bloch’s luvt is a quiet reorientation of the organ: away from its monumental image and ritualised spaces, towards the delicate mechanics of touch, air and friction. Across seven compositions marking her debut on OOH-sounds, the Cologne based organist and composer turns to the chest organ, a small and mobile counterpart to its larger relative, traditionally used to accompany Baroque music. On luvt, Bloch limits herself to just three stops of wooden pipes, using the instr…
