On The Gate Is Open, Zoviet France turn four decades of occult tape‑alchemy into a new portal object: a Hong Kong–forged box of LP, 12-inch and cloth that extends their found‑sound rituals into a meticulously staged, cross‑continental threshold experience.

* Edition of 150 * The other side of the coin. Where its companion single, Organum Electronics' Fiire, delivers compressed walls of metallic noise, David Jackman's Das Kreuz strips everything back to a handful of quiet, elemental sounds - and in doing so arrives at something close to the essence of his recent work under his own name. Across the two tracks, the music unfolds with the stillness of an overheard moment: birdsong, the cry of crows, the strike of a distant bell, and behind it all, a r…

* Edition of 150 * A short blast and a fitting coda. Organum Electronics' Fiire is the first - and quite possibly the last - appearance of David Jackman's harsh electronic project on vinyl. Released on Die Stadt in a limited edition of 150 copies on black vinyl, it arrives as a companion piece to the Das Kreuz 7" released under Jackman's own name, the two singles together forming an epilogue to the monumental seven-album CD subscription series that unfolded on the label between 2023 and 2025. Ja…

First-ever vinyl reissue. Half-speed mastered. By the time National Health entered Ridge Farm Studio in July 1978 to record their second album, the Canterbury scene was already supposed to be over. Soft Machine had splintered. Caravan had gone pop. Hatfield and the North, whose final line-up supplied three-quarters of National Health's core, had disbanded two years earlier. And yet here, at the supposed tail end of a movement, four musicians produced what many consider its single most fully real…

Matthew Wright’s album Cracked Glaze is performed by virtuoso vocalist Sofia Jernberg, Ensemble Klang (Michiel van Dijk, Erik-Jan de With, Anton van Houten, Pete Harden, Saskia Lankhoorn and Joey Marijs) and Wright’s improv/electronic group Spheric Totemic (Mandhira de Saram, Neil Charles, Alexander Hawkins, Stephen Davis and Matthew Wright). The 46-minute piece was performed live, and is built around a ‘spine’ of one long, descending scale which takes nineteen minutes to unfurl, and which then …

This intimate trio is the perfect vehicle for songs composed by John Greaves in English and in French- poems by by Verlaine, Apollinaire and more set to music by John in a powerful and very personal style, far from the tradition of French “chansonniers” but just as endearing. Elegant music to match the exigencies of the lyrics. It consists of 15 tracks beautifully composed and arranged by John who articulates a piano that is sometimes melancholic and sometimes rock. His inimitable sense of poetr…

On In Concerts, Mujician - Keith Tippett, Paul Dunmall, Paul Rogers and Tony Levin - are caught across 17 years of pure, pre‑verbal improvisation, four voices moving as one organism, forever searching and sometimes touching the truly uncanny.

A decade after its long-awaited release, Coil's landmark album Backwards returns in a special 10 year anniversary vinyl reissue. The black vinyl edition comes in a gatefold matt-laminate sleeve with silver detail, honoring the album's elusive, mercurial nature with understated elegance. After the ground-breaking release of 1990's Love's Secret Domain, Coil were not dormant - far from it. The main project was Backwards, which was started in 1992, updated considerably between 1993 and 1995, and tr…

Squarepusher, presents Kammerkonzert, a riot of onyx-hard, hyperfast riffs, fiendish orchestral themes and handbrake turns through varieties of progressive, ambient, electronic and experimental music.

Two of the latest releases from Tochnit Aleph - Daniel Löwenbruck's project, for three decades one of the most radical and consistent spaces in the international experimental landscape, now operating from Denmark - that share a common obsession: sound as act, as summons, as a gesture that the recording does not archive but transforms. El Llamado (Der Aufruf) by Mario de Vega and A Profound Loss of Meaning by Alice Kemp are two works that inhabit the threshold between performance and record - and…

On Synth Pop Art, The Toy Shop turn Paul Klein’s one‑man Leeds project into a sharp, neon‑lit partnership with Philip Walsh, distilling early‑80s UK minimal synth, big‑chorus ambition and nearly‑was pop history into a tight set of lost singles.

Funeral Danceparty began in 1979 in Newcastle. Their debut cassette, The Curiosity Shop (1980), was advertised in the national weekly music paper Sounds in the established DIY fashion of the era: interested parties were requested to send a blank cassette and a self-addressed envelope. Approximately 100 copies reached destinations worldwide. A national fanzine review compared the music to Cabaret Voltaire, Faust, and The Residents. Their second cassette, The Attractions of Fixed Interest, was als…

Malcolm Brown is a Scottish electronics and minimal synth artist who has been active since the late 1970s, working from council flats in West Lothian with whatever equipment he could assemble: a Casio VL Tone, electric guitar, bass, piano, a Shinei Fuzzbox, a Dual Octave Box, a WEM Copycat echo unit, a Dr. Rhythm drum machine, electronic percussion pads, an Akai GX 4000D reel-to-reel recorder, and a Hitachi stereo tape deck. His early collaborations with Robert Lawrence of Quick Stab Products in…

On The Blackwing Sessions, Demos 1982/83, Robert Marlow opens the vault on his pre‑Peter Pan Effect sketches, capturing Basildon synth‑pop at source: raw Vince Clarke sequences, Eric Radcliffe grit, and songs caught mid‑mutation between bedroom dream and major‑label mirage.
