300 copies limited edition Second CD album (after the "Sutcliffe Jugend - Masks" / 2016) out on OEC by the UK masters! Very "old school Industrial" & a very "Sutcliffe Jugend" sounding album!Two wasps microphone feedback and Paul’s noise generator. Suitably fucked up!
*200 copies limited edition. 2024 stock* On Fathom, we hear the sound of the world mirrored back to us. An improvisational collaboration from legendary British multi-instrumentalist John Butcher, Pat Thomas on piano, Dominic Lash on Double Bass, and Steve Noble on Drums, the four artists play generously together. Fathom is an impressive work of avant-garde jazz that’s reminiscent of the non-musical world: squeaky wheels, growing tension, a babbling brook, all winding into lush harmonies. This ma…
Biiig Tip! This is a strange one. Originally conceived as part of an anarchistic publication, the tracks culled from two live performances at separate locations in London’s Shoreditch got as far as the test pressing stage as long as 5 years ago and then forgotten. The publication never materialised and the cut lacquers and metalwork lay languishing in a dark corner on a dusty bottom shelf in the pressing plants storeroom. Forgotten until we were presented with a hefty bill for production and s…

"These three artists don’t need volume or soloing to get their message across. Their message is inscribed in elegant lower-case and rarely used aural fonts. You will find yourself leaning forward because not a note or whisper should be missed..." - Brian Morton
Clear Vinyl edition. Comes with Poster. Out of Season and Hosianna Mantra are proud to announce the launch of the first-ever reissue campaign of the works of cult fantasy synth figure Jim Kirkwood, whose original compositions predated by several years the legendary dark ambient progenitors of what would later be rebranded as “dungeon synth”. Kirkwood's musical style was unique from his contemporaries, falling less in-line musically with the medieval, subterranean dread of his peers and more with…

*300 copies limited edition* If anybody has been paying attention (and in my opinion they bloody well should…), they might be aware that Gary Mundy of Ramleh and Breathless announced several years ago that he planned to do a solo CD every year for as long as he could. His solo guise as Kleistwahr started in the early 1980s as a more directly noise/post-industrial-inspired project that saw a few limited edition cassette releases appear on his much respected Broken Flag imprint. While these casset…
John Butcher is interested in particular people and their personalities. He prefers not to work in a generic situation, where there's an agreement in advance to play a certain kind of thing, and the music cannot swerve in a sudden fresh direction.
As he told me a few years back: "What got me so interested in the type of improvising I ended up really spending time on was, at least at a personal level, there was a feeling you could start from scratch. Now you might well be mistaken, and rediscover…
The record can be considered a sort of farewell note to one of London’s most crucial venues for improvised music and sound art after its unexpected closure in late 2023 due to gentrification. John Butcher had previously collaborated with these three musicians in different contexts, but Unlockings documents a first-of-its-kind quartet line-up.
"I wanted a new combination, but made of players I’d worked with over the years" says Butcher. "Choosing is probably 75 % about the player and 25 % about t…
*2024 stock* A collaboration between saxofonist Evan Parker and drummer John Stevens. Recorded on 8 June 1993 at Angel Studio, Islington, London Recorded direct to U-Matic master using Schoeps and Neumann microphones.
Evan Parker and Matthew Shipp!Two (exceptional) musicians, two backgrounds, two approaches to music, two generations, an ocean between them: at the end, only one music, unique, outstanding, made of listening and respect of each other. The purpose is not to limit themselves to what they might have in common, but to expand the realm of possibility by assimilating in the moment what the other can bring.
*2024 stock* 1994 reissue of Submission, the LP originally released United Dairies in 1988 with different artwork. In this release Organum plays with David Jackman, Dinah Jane Rowe, Steven Stapleton and Andrew Chalk.
Nocturnal Emissions, masterminded by Nigel Ayers, have been on the cutting edge of new music since the 1970s. Ayers has been described as a Guerrilla Sign Ontologist, cutting-up and pasting the contents of the human psyche. With a background in avant-garde art, his work has grown from audio visual installations through underground video works which changed the shape of British television. In the early eighties Nocturnal Emissions hit London with a barrage of seminal funk; pioneering the use of s…
CD Verison. The Fall is a deconstruction of November by Dennis Johnson. Written for solo piano in 1959, November is the first example of minimalist music composition and was the inspiration for La Monte Young's The Well-Tuned Piano (1964). The 66-minute piece is a collaboration between legendary artist Lustmord and renowned classical pianist Nicolas Horvath, in which they reduce Johnson's original November to its core element and place it in a landscape of complimentary sound. The Fall echoes No…
*2024 stock* "Two brothers, Roger Eno and Brian Eno, released their first collaboration in more than a few decades. Released in March of 2020,, the brothers reunited for a full-length album called Mixing Colours. (For those unaware that Brian Eno has a creative brother out there, well, he does. In 1985, Roger Eno released a brilliant set of piano treatments called Voices.) It’s easy to think that the released album wasn’t all of the music they worked on. Deutsche Grammophon's release is called L…
