Exotica
On Exotica, Sun Ra is recast as an unlikely lounge visionary, folding the lush fantasy worlds of Les Baxter and Hollywood mood music into raw, off‑kilter Saturn tapes that turn easy listening into uneasy, Afrofuturist escape.
Nel Mondo Del Lavoro
Few albums capture Italian library music at its most purposefully conceived as Nel Mondo Del Lavoro. Originally released in 1972 on Sermi - one of the foundational labels of the Italian production music scene, co-founded by Sergio Pagoni and Michelangelo Cunsolo in close orbit with Bruno Nicolai and Ennio Morricone's world - the album was commissioned as the soundtrack to a RAI television documentary series on the petroleum industry, Sapere: Il Petrolio. What Rino De Filippi built from that brie…

Paul DeMarinis presents a companion work to his acclaimed sound installation The Edison Effect, where ancient phonograph records, wax cylinders, and even holograms of records are played with laser beams instead of needles.

In the original installation, one of the most poeti…
Reflex

As the composer writes in the liner notes, "Due…

Chamber Music
Tip! Turin is a city of crumbing facades and fading surfaces. A memorial to regal splendour and industrial boom. Behind every door is a different world. Pass through a grand double-door in the southern part of the city into a quiet courtyard, through into a small room with a high ceiling and cracked white coving. The room holds a modest studio set up, everything laid out as if the occupant just left. It’s a workshop, littered with blank cassettes, sepia-tinted journals and unidentified family sc…
Muzak For The Encouragement Of Unproductivity
Inspired by Sam Kidel’s ›mimetic hacking‹ concept, Berlin-based composer Jasminev Guffond pipes opiated brass and woodwind motifs into a reverb chamber modelled on an Amazon fulfilment centre.
»Muzak for the Encouragement of Unproductivity« is a poetic inversion of Muzak’s traditional role in stimulating seamless productivity in the workplace. Beginning as a pre-radio music distribution network (1934, U.S.), Muzak was transmitted along electrical wires with the intention of being at once ubiquit…
The Book of Job
The Book of Job is a boundary-pushing work by Super Grupa Bez Fałszywej Skromności, merging avant-garde jazz, spiritual recitation, and sound experiments. Conceived in martial-law Poland, the album is both requiem and protest—an immersive journey through collective struggle, transcendence, and artistic resilience.
Follie del Divino Spirito Santo
Huge Tip! 300 copies. Originally issued in 1978 by Cetra, Follie Del Divino Spirito Santo emerges from a singular moment in Antonio Infantino's artistic practice - a moment when his early immersion in international Beat circles and avant-garde gestural music had crystallized into something entirely his own: a ritualistic and shamanic engagement with the musical traditions of Southern Italy.
From 1964 onward, Infantino had moved through collaborative circles with Vittorio Gelmetti, Sylvano Bussot…
New Africa
** Deluxe matte laminate gatefold sleeve and polylined paper inner sleeve ** A vital document of artistic resistance and spiritual searching, New Africa captures a transformative moment in jazz and global Black consciousness. Recorded in Paris in 1969, the album stands as a deeply personal and boldly experimental statement from American trombonist and composer Grachan Moncur III — one of the most compelling figures of the avant-garde movement and a master of what would become known as spiritual …
Polarlys
A landmark, of sorts. Polarlys is the first original release in the catalog of Musica Per Immagini - a label built on excavating the buried archives of Italian library and film music now turning, for the first time, toward the present. The choice of artist is telling. Heinrich Dressel is the alias of Valerio Lombardozzi, a Roman composer and producer who has spent over two decades building one of the most coherent and quietly influential bodies of work in Italian electronic music. Co-founder of …
Regression
Tip! Printed artwork on reverse-board inner & outer sleeves.Pressed on 180g Vinyl. Includes DL card. Razen is the collective consciousness of core members Brecht Ameel and Kim Delcour, who since 2010 have realized themselves through virtuoistic and highly expressive improvisations with lesser-heard instruments. Experimenting with repetition of tones through controlled breathing and phrasing, Razen arrive at a synesthetic playground of auditory textures and colorful imagery. The ensemble is ca…
Issue 10
It probably goes without saying that here at Soundohm, we’re huge fans of all things Lasse Marhaug.

Spencer Yeh, Okkyung Lee, Otomo Yoshihide, Merzbow, Jim O'Rourke, Mats Gustafsson, and a slew of oth…

Mocomono
On Mocomono, Hifiklub & Alain Johannes turn a two‑decade friendship into a glowing, slow‑burn suite: guitars, textures and voices dissolving into an ambient rock vapor where the Toulon collective’s restlessness meets Johannes’ desert‑honed lyricism.
Enclosures 2011–2016
In a stunning effort, Pica Disk takes a deep dive into the depths of the New Zealand underground with a much needed repress of the towering 5CD box set, “Enclosures 2011-2016”, dedicated to the incredible output of Omit. Described as one of the greatest outsider artists currently working in the field of experimental electronic music, this immersive collection gathers 30 strikingly abstract gestures; sprawling ambient pieces; the broodingly musical, flirting with the melodic and rhythmic; and com…

Blue Abstraction: Prepared Piano Project 1985–1987
Blue Abstraction compiles a selection of Jessica Williams’ lost prepared piano recordings. These recordings document the beginning of a vital, solitary phase in her career: a period of intense sonic experimentation that began with physically altering a 6’4” grand piano—creating a new instrument, and from there, creating a new music. The results are breathtaking; from melancholic soundscapes with Satie-esque lyricism to forcefully controlled cacophony, always grounded by the distinct emotional vo…

Cancer
*250 copies limited edition* Originally released in 1992 via Tesco, »Cancer« was recorded one year earlier by Thymme Jones, Dan Burke, Mark Klein, Mitch Enderle, Chris Block, and Jim O'Rourke.
This one was mostly a group effort focused on a dark ambient atmospheric environment and experimental minimalism that crawls under your skin. Mark & Thymme’s heavy synth is omnipresent, Mitch & Chris scraping every piece of scrap metal they could find, Jim’s extended piano & tabletop guitar is apparent, t…
