The Sleeping Bag Sessions
You already know about Arthur Russell from disco classics like "Is It All Over My Face" and "Go Bang" (maybe you even watched the recent documentary), but do you know about all the early/mid-80's work he did on his own Sleeping Bag label? This awesom…
Fading Spectrum Of Darkness / Parhelion
Any keen follower of vintage minimalist drone will already be familiar with the meticulous tonal landscapes of Eleh from the series of limited LPs issued from the Important camp over the past year or two. True to the form of that series this new spli…
The Hidden Family / +White+
Another jammed-elevator mismatch between two of Providence, RI's hottest pedal jackers and circuit board melters. Kites has a record on Load already and this side of the split evokes a crunchy square toned melodic flair with organic almost organ-fuel…
Arrowhead
Brooklyn noise herald and Hospital Productions label-head, Dominick Fernow presents his first release for the Editions Mego label. Fernow has been an active instigator in the power electronics and noise genre for well over a decade, with 100+ release…
Endings
Mueller always delivers the goods, in the sense that he hurls each clipped plotline into an unmistakable, impassable “end;” however his endings are never the epiphanies his stories require. Instead they offer only the further mystification of an alre…
Electronics
The Zeitkratzer label releases a limited 3CD box documenting international avant-garde soloists ensemble Zeitkratzer, and their collaborations with groundbreaking electronic musicians spanning nearly a decade. This set collects all three previously-r…
Conrad & Sohn
Gorgeous one-off private-press released in 1981 by one-time Tangerine Dream / Kluster associate Conrad Schnitzler, which was given only to friends and family. Tracks 6-11 are pretty odd, even for Schnitzler, with its pitched up vocals & arbitrary lo-…
L\'Ethique
Richard Pinhas is internationally recognized as one of France's major experimental musicians: the "father" of French electronic music. He was the founder of Heldon, a band whose violent fusion of electronics and guitar in the '70s rivaled the German …
Iceland
Richard Pinhas has been at the forefront of new rock music in France since the early 1970s, when he founded the band Heldon. Heldon was one of the first bands to meld rock music and electronics, releasing a number of 'classic' albums during the 1970s…
DWW
Recorded between 1983 and 1991, DWW contains some of the finest material devised by the former Heldon leader since that band's "demise." All that is Pinhas is here in its glory: guitars soldered with "Terminator" steel, coruscating electronics, and s…
Suoni di Frontiera
Back in 1975 when "Suoni di frontiera" ("Borderline Sounds") was released, Claudio Rocchi was already a well known figure in the Italian pop scene. In the late 60's Rocchi had burst onto the scene as a member of Milanese psych-prog legends Stormy Six…
Underneath the surface
Since the very first notes, this music appears to be about memory, decay and subversion. It is a deep investigation on the ability of sounds to freely attract or reject each other, in accordance with their own nature and disposition, and still mainta…
Mag Magazin 6
Obscure early tape, very thought to find nowadays: this tape is rich with texture and dynamics that make for a stunning listen, its details are intricate resonation and transformations of the sound sculptures in the environment
23/20
This is the double LP version, featuring a full colour gatefold cover, full colour inner sleeves and 180 Gr. heavy vinyl ! "More than ever, fringe culture methods and cutting edge acoustic science mate for the generations of endless layers and bursts…
Spilt
Nate Young airs two of his alter egos on this great split LP: Demons, featuring Steve Kenney (oh you know, Steve Kenney - he's in those well-known beat combos The Pterodactyls and Isis & Werewolves.... No?) and Hatred, which combines Young once again…
LMJW
Beautiful new collaboration between John Wiese and Lasse Marhaug. Two tracks of harsh and heavy noise for 10 minutes of music, recorded in Oslo in January 2008. Limited edition one-time pressing of 200 copies. Highly recommended.
The Empty Quarter
Recorded earlier in 2007 in Michigan 'The Empty Quarter' is the latest chapter in the ever growing (and ever changing) Hair Police story. This is a band I am well and truly smitten with, after hearing their truly seminal 'Constantly Terrified' album …
Totaled And Stranded
Awesome release: recorded in a hotel room after we totaled out tour vehicle and became stranded in the worst snowstorm in Ohio history†Beatty, Connelly, Tremaine. Artwork: hand cutted black cardboard, Xeroxed recycled paper, raw paper inner sle…
