Music from United Kingdom

Nick Drake's second album, 1970, with members of Fairport Convention, John Cale and arrangements by Robert Kirby. CD edition.

Nick Drake's 1969 debut on Island, the quiet autumnal songs that became a lasting reference for English folk.

The first record on Moving Shadow, cut in 1991 by Neil Sanford and Simon Carter: three tracks of British rave psychedelia, with 'No Idea' still the perfect way into that catalogue. Reissued and remastered by Blank Mind.

The twenty-eighth Durutti Column album and the first in sixteen years, produced by Keir Stewart: Vini Reilly's guitar among warm ambient washes, piano and quiet beats, with guest vocals from Caoilfhionn Rose. Deluxe gatefold on transparent bottle green vinyl.

Japanese 200 gram vinyl edition. Totally essential LP re-release for the first collaboration between Robert Fripp and Brian Eno in over 30 years, that nearly equals the effuse beauty of their celebrated 70s works. "Ambient is a spacious, electronic music that is concerned with sonic texture, not songwriting or composing," says the All-Music Guide. That seems reasonable, although I suspect Brian Eno might take issue with the notion that his music is somehow unconcerned with composition. As wit…

With his latest missive, Mercian noise-meister Colossloth takes as his muse the intriguing Theta Noir cult/art collective/group of unknown parts. Centred around worship of the code-begotten Goddess Mena, Theta Noir celebrates the impending arrival of this protean deity whose coming will herald the meshing of human synaptic systems with those of the machines that will inexorably birth themselves. The nascency of a Godhead is never without pain; this album hammers, grinds, and spits with a charact…

CD reissue of Volcano The Bear's 2006 LP, the first release on their own Volucan label: theatrical improvisation, musique concrète and ethno-folk. Four-panel gatefold sleeve, limited to 444 copies.

CD reissue of Volcano The Bear's first mini-album, issued by Pickled Egg in 1999, with two bonus tracks from a 2006 lathe-cut 8" on Alt.Vinyl. Oversized gatefold cover, limited to 444 copies.

Another Day on Earth (2005) was Brian Eno’s first song-based album since Nerve Net in1992, and remains one of his most acclaimed solo records. It featured a young Jon Hopkins alongside long-standing collaborators Nell Catchpole, J. Peter Schwalm and Leo Abrahams, with lyrics co-written by Michel Faber and Danny Hillis. The album was launched with a public conversation between Eno and the writer Michael Bracewell at the Marble Palace in St Petersburg and its cover photograph was taken by Eno hims…

Drawn From Life, originally released on Virgin Records in 2001, was a full collaboration between Brian Eno and J. Peter Schwalm, the two having met through Eno’s longtime friend Rolf Engel. It will carry that joint billing for the first time. The album featured Holger Czukay, Laurie Anderson, Nell Catchpole and Leo Abrahams, and was supported by a tour taking in Porto and Lanzarote before a headline appearance at Japan’s Fuji Rock Festival. The rights to Drawn From Life reverted to Opal when Cit…

Sorcery is the ninth album for Jim Jupp, aka Belbury Poly. It grew from Jupp’s love of early to mid-80s electronic music and a rediscovery of how that music had soundtracked his childhood love of all things sci-fi and fantasy. It’s moody and melodramatic electronica rendered in bright and evocative 80s sounds. The not quite 80s tunes have Belbury Poly’s trademark earworm melodies and are ever so slightly tongue in cheek. Jupp returns to a simple line up for this album - it's a very electronic so…

Cocteau Twins' third album from 1984, the first with Simon Raymonde alongside Elizabeth Fraser and Robin Guthrie, reissued by 4AD on 180g vinyl with new masters from high definition transfers of the original analogue tapes.

Bill Laswell music true legend, “man with the golden ears“ – 2013, he has been involved in hundreds of recordings with many collaborators from all over the world. Bassist, composer and music producer - enough to say that he was the producer for such legendary albums like Motörhead ‎- “Orgasmatron”, Iggy Pop’s “Instinct”, Public Image Ltd - “Album” or Swans “The Burning World” to name just a few. In 1997, Bill Laswell released his sixth solo album “City of Light” recorded in Banaras, India, and m…

*2026 stock*  ...At Last, it's here! During the transitional period in which Coil’s primary leadership (Peter “Sleazy” Christopherson and John Balance) reorganized their creative direction by taking on new membership in the group through their inclusion of Drew McDowall, Coil took a drastic turn towards the metaphysical unknown. Employing the subtle handiwork of Coil’s “real life” members, as well as the cleverly guised aliases and spiritual collaborators, the band chose to filter their identity…

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…

Welsh musician Gwenifer Raymond’s 2018 debut album, You Never Were Much of a Dancer, introduced a new voice on acoustic guitar, receiving 5 stars in The Guardian, big spreads in MOJO and UNCUT, and airplay on multiple BBC programmes. This led to months of touring on the European festival circuit. Her second album, Strange Lights Over Garth Mountain, finds Raymond ranging into unexplored experimental territory, drawing from her Welsh roots.

"From its word-playful title (Deceit / This Heat – say it aloud and twist your tongue) to the lyrics densely written on the back cover, This Heat's second album from 1981 is much more verbally direct than their largely instrumental 1979 debut. The group had things on their minds and statements they wanted to make. "'The first album was about the Dread, but dread not really understood yet,' says Charles Hayward. 'With the second album, we were starting to understand what made us afraid. The whole…

*300 copies limited edition* Salford Electronics abandon all art. Nine lo-fi electronic urban nightmares spiralling through Industrial decay, rain-drenched dark ambient, abrasive loops, brooding noise, and shards of scintillating electronics. The desire to communicate the disintegration of nocturnal sound. Evoking that moment in time when you have been up all night and the dawn ambience is about to break. A series of bad dreams. These works were created over the last decade and originally self-r…

A lost transmission from Britain's early cassette network. Carl Matthews builds patient, meditative electronic drones and tape textures: homemade ambient minimalism of quiet conviction, rescued from the margins of the DIY underground.
