Digital Dance 002
After the album Total Erasement (SR 366LP, 2014), that includes the more "professional" studio recordings of Digital Dance, Digital Dance 002 is the re-release of their last cassette tape, originally released in 1981, reflecting another side of their work and the beginnings of what was to come. Stéphan Barbery of Digital Dance on the release: As the first single of Digital Dance, "Radioactivity/Computer Rock" (1979), was far from convincing for us, we created our own label, Digital Records, and …
Floral Shoppe
*2022 stock.* "[...] By no conventional logic should Floral Shoppe have made it beyond the deep-internet realms it emerged from. But like candy-colored mold, its power has rapidly spread while its then-teenage creator Ramona Xavier, the Portland artist now known as Vektroid, has remained an elusive figure, simultaneously a pioneer and an outlier. Her album remains one-of-a-kind in its depiction of anxiety and crisis rendered through waves of numbness that range from deeply unsettling to artifici…

Number Pieces
Number Pieces, the expansive four-disc set performed by Apartment House, presents a strikingly comprehensive exploration of John Cage’s celebrated late works. Composed in the twilight of Cage’s life, these pieces reflect a deep engagement with silence, time, and musical indeterminacy - a period often characterized by a profound calmness and openness, quite distinct from the composer's more angular early output. Apartment House, under the direction of Anton Lukoszevieze, approach the scores not s…
Apeiron Anxiety
According to the 6th century Greek philosopher Anaximander, 'apeiron' is a state of primal chaos. It is the limitless, undefinable everything from which all is created & the essential form back to which all will ultimately return. Apeiron constantly & infinitely creates the building blocks of everything, including all states of opposition such as heat & cold, dry & wet, only to then destroy & remake it all anew in a boundless, eternal cycle. It seems that humanity in the 21st century is living i…
Strategic Structures
Strategic Structures unites Kat Epple, Bob Stohl, and Robert Rauschenberg in a 1989 suite where metallic sculptures and lush electronics intertwine. The album’s twenty-nine-minute arc traverses foreboding and angelic timbres, forging a resonant dialogue between new age ambience and avant-garde architectural sound.
Independence
**Black Vinyl edition ** The quintessential album by Takayanagi Masayuki.

Recorded at the Teichiku Kaikan studios on 18 September 1969 (released in 1970), "Independence – Tread on Sure Ground," is largely regarded as the first tr…

Le Cube Dans Mon Rêve
From the soft, digital murmur of notation software and the absence of physical instruments, The FURICO Music Team (FMT) emerges not as a band, but as a motion. A pendulum. A thought experiment materialized in waveform.
Founded in Japan and composed of TM and TI, FMT is a conceptual unit for sonic construction and transformation. They describe their works as "Auditory Art," where sound is both medium and inquiry. Every note is born in a digital void, composed entirely through notation software a…
On Way To Alpha
Nashville's Terry Reed-he being neither Jerry Reed nor Terry Reed-self released his 'On Way To Alpha' mini album into this universe sometime in 1975 as a 7". While novel in formant, Reed's fantastical, solitudinarian take on inchoate, Psychedelic expression is uncannily impressive. Gentle psych, loner psych, however you choose to approach it, this aural nug is a giver of tremendous reward. Little seems to be known about Reed, or this release, via the interwebs & original copies rarely turn up. S…
Two Dream Sequences (ep)
* Edition of 250 *"These two sides were recorded at home in Stockholm in April last year, and are part of a series of recordings that I was making around that time that I called dream sequences for a number of reasons, but partly because they mixed attempts at unconscious playing of music with intentional recordings of external sounds e.g. drilling through walls, street noise, that were affecting my consciousness at the time of recording. Also I like dreams but not so much talking about them." -…
Girls In The Grass
Previously unreleased material from Steve’s private recordings, remastered from the original masters, 140g vinyl, 4 page photography insert with liner notes.
Further West Quad Cult LP

With two turntables or other playback devices, the listener can experience fully unique quad playback. Further West Quad Cult LP offers deeper journeys into the cave where the self dissolves. It also stands alone as an inverted Far West universe, and the listener is invited to enjoy it…
