Fifty-Six
Dark red vinyl. After releasing two unique LPs back in the '60s for the legendary ESP label with his Ritual All 770 and another one for Riverboat, finally Alan Sondheim is back! This is his 1st LP after nearly 35 years and here he plays guitar, alpin…
Trulofa
New European folk/trance orkustra from Denmark with their debut release on Qbico. Various acoustic instruments cohere in hymns to the roar of the cosmos that are as dippily fried as the first Siloah LP and as aggressively invasive as Pelt at their mo…
Fiteiras Suadas
Clear azul vinyl, artwork by Joana Da Conceicao. For sure one of the weirdest and most unique records on Qbico, thanks to this young couple from Porto; hard to explain, no easy listening... but once you get attuned, it grows on you... deeply. Some va…
No Face In The Bog
Cow's milk vinyl, artworks and music by Chris Pottinger, with insert. Side A originally released as a limited edition CD-R art set in 100 copies on Tasty Soil, Creature. B1 track is unreleased, recorded in 2007. B2 originally released in 2006 on Fag …
quattro pianoforti
Amazing catalogue (english/italian) focused on a 1999 Exhbition/Performance by Michael Harrison, Charlemagne Palestine, Philip Glass e Terry Riley, with amazing early pictures. A must have it for those into early minimalism, 60 pages, fully illustrat…
It ain't necessarily so
Ignaz Schick (tube sine wave, bows, objects, turntable), Joerg Maria Zeger (stomp boxes, guitars), Burkhard Beins (drums, percussion, objects, zither) and Charlemagne Palestine (fazoli grand piano, vocals, cognac glass). 'In early December 2006 a liv…
Wax Canopy
RECENT. Over the past few years Alex Cobb has developed a signature sound that blurs the line between blissed-out guitar work & atonal, blown-out dirges. His soothing, six-string sorcery still dots the horizon on this album, but there's also a more a…
Ore
Fluid forms of drones, doomy laments, & folk melodies fleshed out from a backbone of sine oscillators & violin. Behind these droning squalls is the lone figure of Marielle Jakobsons. Armed w/ her tiny army of sonic weapons, she concocts a lavaflow of…
The Blue Notebooks
Richter is a British-based, German-born pianist & composer. Following 2002's highly acclaimed "Memoryhouse"- performed by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra & released on the BBC's classical label, Late Junction - The Blue Notebooks is his 2nd solo album…
A Picture Of A Picture
Aidan Baker is a musician and writer from Toronto, Canada. Classically trained in flute, he is self-taught on guitar, drums, and various other instruments. Baker has released numerous CDs on independent labels from around the world and is also the au…
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…
